ENRIQUE TARRIO (GUEST): I'd like to thank again President Donald J. Trump for helping us through these difficult times and releasing me, Joe Biggs, Ethan Nordean, Zachary Rehl, and Dominic Pezzola. Right? And all the J6ers. We went through hell, and I'm gonna tell you, it was worth it, because what we stood for and what those guys stood for was what we've been fighting for and what we saw yesterday on the inauguration stage. I can't tell you it's been easy, but I will tell you it's been worth it.

And, Alex, I mean, everything that they concocted. Even you, everything that they concocted against you, I mean, we see how this system could be weaponized, and we need people like Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and the rest of Trump's cabinet to right all these wrongs. I'm happy in my heart. I love what's transpired in the past just couple hours, and there's a couple J6ers that are still in prison, that are waiting to be released.

...

TARRIO: They didn't care about the evidence. They cared about putting Trump supporters in prison. Well, now it's our turn. Now it's our turn. I'm happy that the president's focusing not on retribution and focusing on success, but I will tell you that I'm not gonna play by those rules. The people who did this, they need to feel the heat. They need to be put behind bars, and they need to be prosecuted. They pardon the J6 committee? Fine. In this country, our case proves that you could be put in prison for anything. They need to be imprisoned. We need to find and put them behind bars for what they did. They need to pay for what they did.

ALEX JONES (HOST): Well, I mean, let's be clear. Trump talked about getting the economy going and success. That's key to keeping his support to do the rest. But to have our success, we have to put the deep state in prison. Fauci, the traitor Milley, the J6 people.
