In this compelling and emotionally charged third hour, Pete Santilli interviews Brian Mock, a pardoned J6 political prisoner, who shares his extraordinary personal journey through federal incarceration and his mission for systemic reform. The discussion focuses on Mock’s harrowing experience as one of the original 45 January 6 defendants held pretrial in the D.C. “Gulag,” where he endured prolonged solitary confinement, violence, and denial of basic legal rights. Remarkably, Mock represented himself pro se—without legal training—after firing a court-appointed attorney who, in his view, failed to advocate for him. Against all odds, he won his freedom in early 2025, later receiving a pardon.The episode delves deep into the structural flaws of the U.S. federal judiciary, especially the use of pretrial detention as a weapon of coercion. Mock and Santilli expose the psychological and physical toll imposed on inmates, including denial of food, medical neglect, and deliberate mistreatment by jail staff. They also highlight how political bias within the legal system disproportionately affected J6 defendants, who were allegedly pressured to implicate Donald Trump in exchange for leniency.Mock’s testimony paints a vivid picture of injustice, from inadequate legal representation and obstruction of due process to the dangerous racial and gang dynamics that plague U.S. prison systems. He argues passionately that January 6 was not the insurrection it was framed to be, but instead part of a larger, orchestrated conspiracy—a sentiment echoed by Santilli, who calls for a full and honest investigation.The episode closes with a strong message of hope and faith. Despite the darkness of his ordeal, Mock credits divine guidance for his perseverance and is now dedicating his life to advocacy through the “On Your Six” Foundation. Santilli and Mock jointly emphasize the urgent need for broad-based prison and judicial reform, positioning J6 survivors as frontline ambassadors in a new civil liberties movement.
