Today, we embark on a journey into the heart of the Proud Boys saga, dissecting the seismic sentencing of their leader, Enrique Tarrio. We're joined by independent reporter Brandi Buchman (@Brandi_Buchman), who provides an in-depth look into the courtroom drama, Tarrio's remorse, and the impact of a mother's plea for mercy. We peel away the layers of Tarrio's character and question the future of the Proud Boys in the wake of this 22-year sentence for seditious conspiracy. ------------- Narativ is again facing serious suppression efforts by the likes of Elon Musk and other forces who want us to stop exposing the truth.  Help us fight back by donating via Paypal: Democracy is on the line.  ------------- We rewind to the chaotic days leading up to the notorious January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol, dissecting the evidence exhibited in Tarrio's trial. As we analyze his connections with co-defendants and controversial figures like Roger Stone, we ponder on the consequences of Tarrio's heavy sentence for others implicated in the events of that fateful day. Our conversation takes a sobering turn as we assess the influence of the likes of Donald Trump, Roger Stone, Alex Jones, Michael Flynn, and Steve Bannon on the Proud Boys. In the concluding phase of our discussion, we highlight the broader implications of a potential Trump re-election for Tarrio and his co-defendants. We contemplate the deterrent effect of these sentences on other extremist groups while examining the ongoing power of Trump's rhetoric to incite violence. As we conclude, we challenge you to reflect on the battle for truth, the value of freedom, and the essential role of accountability in our society. Learn more about your ad choices.
