Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Scott Kesterson’s Journey: War, Media, and Faith

[02:53 - 11:47]

• Background and Military Experience

  • Kesterson recounts his service in the Oregon Army National Guard (1983-1991), then his transition into marketing and construction.
  • In 2006, he became the first fully embedded citizen journalist with the 41st Brigade in Afghanistan, reporting directly from conflict zones.
  • He describes harrowing experiences: "My first troops in contact... in a little fire base called Carney... a week of just very, very intense fighting. Haqqani network was in the area." ([05:15])
  • His footage with Canadian forces earned him an Emmy in 2007.

• Transition to Information Warfare

  • After his journalistic work, Kesterson was embedded with special operations, contracted under the CIA, and worked at the Counterinsurgency Training Center in Kabul.
  • He highlights the impact of leadership, notably General Scott Miller, and criticizes the U.S. government’s withdrawal plan from Afghanistan: "The debacle that ended up... that's completely a debacle on the government political side. Scott Miller had developed an amazing transition plan out of the country." ([08:57])
  • Later, at the “Asymmetric Warfare Group” at Fort Meade, he focused on identifying emerging threats and narrative warfare globally.

• A Turn Toward Public Communication

  • Recognizing growing threats to the nation after the 2016 election, Kesterson closed his defense company to focus on information warfare—informing and fortifying public awareness, especially within the Patriot movement.

• Faith as the Last Bastion

  • His experience in Afghanistan showed that religious conviction is a formidable defense against propaganda: "Faith was the hardest wall to break through." ([11:28])

---

2. Ted Nugent’s Reflections and Support

[12:14 - 13:37]

• Ted offers characteristic humor and gratitude, comparing the intensity of Scott’s experience to his own in the Detroit rock & roll scene.

• He underlines the importance of being a “cockroach spotlighter—otherwise known as a whistleblower,” and praises Kesterson for channeling hardship into meaningful truth-telling.

  “You have channeled and cultivated and nurtured and optimized your skills as a man who has seen the ugliest of the ugly. That through your faith, you know the best of the best...” – Ted Nugent ([12:14])

---

3. Faith, Betrayal, and Resilience: Kesterson’s Jail Experience and Radio Mission

[18:57 - 25:18]

• Jailed Without Charges

  • Kesterson recounts a bizarre, traumatic experience: being arrested by U.S. Marshals, publicly smeared in the press, and put on probation without ever being charged.

    "I ended up being greeted by a marshal... I'll never forget his words. He said, 'I read your file. Something doesn't add up. Trust me, I'm just the messenger.'" ([19:19])

  • He reveals the ordeal pared down his relationships to a core group: "All three of them were Delta Force... they never waver." ([22:20])

• Spiritual Turning Point

  • In jail, he had a dramatic encounter with God, which led directly to launching the BardsFM podcast.

    "I had a tremendous encounter with God in jail... Literally woke up one morning to Him saying, 'I need you back to storytelling and I need you to take this to the world.'" ([19:52])

• Restorative Justice and Media Warfare

  • Charges were dropped, his case sealed, and he points to the clear evidence of an information attack: "When you get 30 stories released in an hour, if you know anything about information warfare, that's not accidental." ([24:03])

---

4. Where Faith Meets Freedom: Guidance for Troubled Times

[25:18 - 27:09]

• Staying Grounded in Chaos

  • Kesterson urges listeners to stay anchored in faith and resist media manipulation: "You've got to stay focused on Christ... We have got to make sure that we are grounded because... truth is being pluralized and confused with artificial intelligence, and it's being done intentionally." ([25:18])

• Practical Advice

  • Limit social media, engage in real-world actions, and remember: "No one has sovereignty over your mind except yourself." ([26:24])

• Enduring Message

  • Ted reinforces: "We the people grounded. I've preached grounded and down to earth for the last 70 years... Never give up." ([26:24], [27:09])

---

5. Testimony from the “Front Lines” – Trennis Evans

[33:44 - 44:35]

• January 6th Experience

  • Evans recounts his non-violent actions at the Capitol, intense prosecution, and eventual personal transformation through faith.
  • Reflects on the presence of undercover agents and federal agencies' roles during January 6th: "We had identified... over 140 of these people that were right in the midst of things, that were instigating things that never got charged with a crime." ([38:13])

• Finding Solace in Faith

  • Describes the spiritual support he found in the Word of Faith Fellowship, and how faith allowed him to surrender fear during his trial: "I claimed that land for the Lord... all of the fear just dissipated... it was so freeing." ([41:26])

---

6. Investigating Radical Activism: Terry Newsome’s Undercover Reporting

[48:33 - 54:39]

• Inside Antifa and Radical Protests

  • Newsome describes his undercover activism amidst Antifa and far-left protests in Chicago, noting how some are professional agitators.

  • Outlines dangerous encounters, including nearly being shot by ICE agents who mistook him for an agitator.

    "I'm cutting through the grass... Three of them... had their weapons, right? They're, they aimed guns at me..." ([50:48])

• The Importance of Courage and Community Resistance

  • Newsome feels compelled to continue, highlighting the lack of civic engagement: "I cannot get fathers to show up to school board to hold my posters... we're in a war and we need to expose this stuff." ([51:54])
  • He warns that intimidation tactics by radical groups effectively keep concerned parents and average citizens silent.

---

7. Closing Thoughts: Faith, Resilience, and Community Action

[54:51 - end]

• The episode ends with heartfelt thanks and encouragement from Shemane, who underscores her desire to inspire and support her listeners with practical health/wellness tips and a reminder of Esther 4:14:

  "If you stay silent... relief may or may not come. Who knows if you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this? I think you have." ([58:55])

[Shemaine Nugent]

Thanks, Ted.

[Scott Kesterson]

I was just watching my turkeys go up the hill, so I know what I got to do today. I've got to do.

[Ted Nugent]

Watching my thirsty breast get filleted off with a large knife to go in the smoker. That's how I watch my turkeys.

[Narrator/Host]

That's awesome.

[Shemaine Nugent]

We have been friends for quite a. Quite a while, a few years. And I have been so intrigued by your background. And I. I actually wanted Ted to come in because I don't think Ted has heard the story of your background, and I'd love for you to share it with our audience.

[Scott Kesterson]

Sure. Glad to. So I, I served in the Oregon army national guard from 83 to 91. Started from a private and got out as a second lieutenant and then spent the next, I don't know, it's about six or 12 years or so in marketing and ended up having a construction company. And then in 2006, the doors flew wide open and I was given an opportunity to go to Afghanistan as the first fully embedded citizen journalist with the 41st Brigade, which was the unit that I worked with, where I was part of when I was in the National Guard. And so I spent a year over there in the first year embedded, and I traveled all over Afghanistan. I had a very, very unique embed. I was embedded directly under General Pritt, which gave me full ability of mobility and I could go anywhere I wanted to in the country. I covered a lot of the conflict. My first troops in contact, which they call tic, was, was in June. We arrived in May and was in June in a little fire base called Carney, which was about the size of, I don't know, 10 humvees across. And we had about 30 ana. And it was a. It was a week of. A little over a week of just very, very intense fighting. Haqqani network was in the area. And we actually got to the point where the Thursday Night before, we were primal, finally pulled out. We had already made plans to have to go out by foot because things were getting that bad. The clip you're showing right now is from the, from a contact I had in July of 2006. And this is with the Canadians. I was embedded with them, cross embedded with them. And this was a 10 days of operations in Panjua. This was the first footage in contact for the Canadians in the Afghan war. And it resulted in, that footage resulted in an Emmy which you see behind me, or I guess you can't, but I have an Emmy on the shelf behind me, which was awarded in 2007. In 2008, I was given an opportunity to go back over and starting as working on a film for Electronic Arts of California as part of their video game. And when I got over there, I was recruited, cross trained and then brought on board as a contractor for a CIA team that was working under Hank Crumpton. And it was. He was the ambassador at large. And so I ended up working there and then eventually moving into being an instructor at the Counterinsurgency Training center in Kabul. And then that led to me working directly under General Scott Miller, which is, he was one of the greatest generals we've ever produced and he came from jsoc. And the team that I was asked to join was a very small hand selected team of special operations called Combined Forces Special Operations Component Command, Afghanistan. We were responsible as about a 40 to 50 man operational unit for one of the most significant efforts in the entire Afghan war, which was called Village Stability Operations. Again, my mission was all over the country. My primary role at that point in time was having taken my film skills, building communication and training products for the first Special Operations Command. But equally I was doing a lot of direct engagement. So I was working with Special Operations commanders, Special Forces commanders and teams. And I was, whether it was local villagers or directly dealing with Taliban, sometimes missions on my own, which we would call singleton missions, I was dealing with Taliban leaders, warlords, a whole variety of interesting and sometimes very despicable people. But the whole point was to try in the many ways that we could, to build local capacity so that they would be. So that they would have their own defense. And the role, the obvious long term role was to roll us out of Afghanistan. And just to highlight this, the debacle that ended up we classified as Abbey Gate, that's completely a debacle on the government political side. Scott Miller had developed an amazing transition plan out of the country. And as we do with any great general The Biden Auto Pen Administration tried to hang the failure of Afghanistan on Scott Miller's back, which is despicable because we really have not had a general of that capacity. And I would argue since Patton, he was that good. I had the honor of literally working with him and advising him on a number of things. From there, I went from Afghanistan into working at Fort Meade at a unit called Asymmetric Warfare Group that has since been disbanded. Disbanded. It was started by all Delta Force guys and was originally known as the IED Task Force. I was in a special unit there which was called Dog Squadron, which was our Advanced Concepts and Integration. So we literally had the mission to travel the world and look for future and emerging threats, which I did. And I was involved in a lot of very interesting projects. Subterranean warfare, Fire and Smoke as a weapon system, advanced information operations type program development, narrative warfare. I could go on a list of things. So it was a very. It was a very active unit. I traveled in South Korea, went to Vietnam, Bosnia, uk And so we traveled a lot of different areas, including throughout the United States, looking at advanced threats, threats and emerging threats and helping build tactics to what that. What that response was. And then in 2012, I transitioned over to working at the government labs with my own defense company. And I worked up at Picatinny Arsenal, or I guess it was starting in about 2014. I worked there for two years and then and was starting to pick up my own contracts to work and train Special Forces teams, which I'd been doing on and off since the beginning. The one, the big change was with the election in 2016 and realizing the threat to the nation. I made the decision at the end of 2016 to shut my defense company down and to go fully into taking the skills that I had acquired since 2006 to bring information warfare knowledge and help build an information platform to the public space. Because the threat was real and still is. We're in a very active war. So much of what we are is an information warfare base operations. And so I've tried to apply those skills to building a platform that's not just based on just news, but has a lot behind it, a lot of skills and knowledge behind it. On building information capacity in the Patriot movement, building awareness, and equally anchoring people in faith. Because if there's one thing that came out of Afghanistan, as a guy who worked heavily in the information and psyop space, his faith was the hardest wall to break through. If you're trying to go after a public and whether you agree or disagree with Muslim Faith. I'm not here to make that Judg, though. I'm solidly Christian and solidly walk with Jesus. My point is that they were hard to tap because their faith was so disciplined and so strong. And it's something that we just don't do well in this nation. And it's something that I believe very strongly.

[Shemaine Nugent]

The one thing about your platform versus ours is you have hour long or 90 minute long conversations. I want to bring Ted in for the last minute, but you are going to stay with us for two segments because I think the story, this story is obviously amazing. But the clincher is what you're probably about to segue into and why you started your own radio show. But I'm going to let Ted have the last minute.

[Ted Nugent]

Well, number one, that's very impressive. You're talking warlords and Danger zone and special operations, Special forces. Yeah, well, I had a rock and roll band in Detroit, buddy. I mean, your adventure is substantial, but I had a rock and roll bad in Detroit, the 1950s. My point is, is that, Scott, you're doing God because the most important job of a free man uniquely to America is to be a cockroach spotlighter, otherwise known as a whistleblower. So you bring information. You have channeled and cultivated and nurtured and optimized your skills as a man who has seen the ugliest of the ugly. That through your faith, you know the best of the best and the purest of the pure. So your experiences are around the world dealing with military and generals and bureaucrats and government agencies and the heroes that put their lives on the line to defend freedom qualifies you as the best voice to spotlight the cockroaches that surrounded us are our American dream right now. And she's doing God work. So when we come back after this break, I'm going to let you continue to expose the lessons you've learned and how you are compelled through your faith to share them, to try to circumvent and mitigate others falling off the abyss into evil.

[Shemaine Nugent]

Standby Scott and everybody else, don't go away because you're going to want to hear the rest of Scott's story. But first, I want to direct you to another Patriot, Mike Lindell. Go to MyPillow.com and use the promo code Faith to get a discount. We've got to support patriots, Patriot business owners. We'll be right back. Don't go away.

[Narrator/Host]

Relish the opportunity to be an outsider because it's the outsiders who change the world.

[Shemaine Nugent]

Perhaps you were born for such a time as this. Fascinating conversations off air as well as on air, but Ted and I have something exciting to share with you. We created our own pet supplement line because we were tired of our dogs not feeling good and not getting pure, clean health. Made with bioflavonoids, all natural products. And guess what it's called.

[Ted Nugent]

Get Uncle Ted's dot com. I'm not kidding. See this happy face? I am, by the way. I don't want to brag, but I'm going to. I am the happiest man in the world. Sitting next to her helps. But Sadie, Coco, and Jackson, they are providing me the most stimulating, exciting, adventurous, happy hunting season of my life. Because we love our dogs like we love each other, literally. We have. What did you say? An unhealthy attachment.

[Shemaine Nugent]

Sorry.

[Ted Nugent]

Actually, our attachment to our dogs are extremely healthy. And we saw all the poison and the chemical warfare in all the dog foods and all the dog supplements. So we got some mad scientists that found pure, natural, organic, healthy, good for our dogs. Supplements and vitamins and stuff. Get uncleteds.com we believe that our happiness literally pivots on the health, vitality, energy, and happiness of our dogs, Jackson, Sadie, and coco. So get uncleteds.com if you want to experience the ultimate happiness when your dogs are ultimately happy.

[Shemaine Nugent]

Okay, now we're back with Scott Kesterson. He's a veteran storyteller, host of Bards fn, and his mission is to help Americans reclaim their faith, their courage, and their country. Welcome back, Scott.

[Scott Kesterson]

Thanks for having me back, Shemaine. Ted, nice to see you. Always.

[Shemaine Nugent]

So, Scott, this platform calls for quick conversations. We could get you back for two hours. Go into, if you would. The turning point for you, why you decided to start this, your radio show, Bards fm. What happened to you when you got thrown in jail?

[Scott Kesterson]

Oh, yeah. So that's the whole thing, the long story. But, you know, it's in simple terms. There's. There's a lot to that story. I ended up being greeted by a marshal, U.S. marshal in my hotel room, and I'll never forget his words. He said, I read your file. Something doesn't add up. Trust me, I'm just the messenger. And from there began a wild journey of literally being thrown in jail for 20 days. No charges were directly given to me. They were publicly announced in 30 different media outlets on the same hour. You can draw your conclusions on that. And I later found out that I was accused of stealing money from my own nonprofit. They put me on a two year probation. And it was from that point that I really said, okay, I've got to buckle down and really start focusing on what I'm here for. I had a tremendous encounter with God in jail, which itself is a long story, but it was unforgettable. And literally woke up one morning to him saying, I need you back to storytelling and I need you to take this to the world. And I said, okay. So that's, that was the impetus of the, of the podcast that I finished the film, which is out you. And you showed it a little bit ago, clips from it. There's another one still coming, but that was the first of the series. And then I started the podcast in spring of 2019 with ten hundred subscribers on YouTube and we just last month passed 50 million downloads. So we're. And it's, it's really done a great job. So that's, that's the short of it.

[Terry Newsome]

She mean, wow.

[Ted Nugent]

So ultimately, what you experienced, Scott, is you put your heart and soul and to represent the United States of America based on your sacred oath to the U.S. constitution. And you went in believing in our government and then you discovered that your beliefs were misguided or unfounded. And now we're coming out. When you were thrown in jail, who was the president at the time?

[Scott Kesterson]

That would be, that would be Barack Obama.

[Ted Nugent]

I mean, yeah, well, that's why Barack Obama and Eric holder sick their U.S. attorneys on me to destroy my conservation Second Amendment outdoor lifestyle reputation by sicking and falsely charging me and trying to put me in jail and get me to be a felon. So I couldn't vote and I couldn't own guns. But luckily I improvised, adapted and overcame. And we shut them down because the powers that be in the Alaskan courts and the California courts, there was a hint of guilt over there. Do you find that after you were thrown in jail and you got out that there was hope in whether a U.S. marshal was saying, I'm just a messenger. I've done raids with U.S. marshals and FBI and ATF and DEA. And I shake, I scold them and I go, your boss isn't the boss. Your commander isn't the boss. Your oath to the Constitution is your boss. And by, by pounding that out with my crowbar of truth, logic and Common sense. I galvanized some support around me. Did you experience that? Where you got support where you didn't think you would?

[Scott Kesterson]

Absolutely. I think what you learned real quickly is who your true friend, friends are. And I just want to highlight this. I had a huge Rolodex going before going in when I came out. That got pared down very quickly. People like to say they know you until there's a little bump in the road. There are three people that stood by my side like, tight and never, ever let me go. And I want to highlight this because of who they represent. All three of them were Delta Force. One of them was a master medic sniper. Two of the others were sergeant majors and Delta Force. All three of them I'd worked with, and I will tell you through thick or thin, to this very day, they never waver. They are at my side. And if I need anything, as reciprocal, they need anything. We hold tight. So it speaks deeply, Ted, to the real oath that we take in this nation and what it is to stand by one another depending no matter what happens.

[Ted Nugent]

Yes, we experienced that, too. Mitch Moore and Scott Young and Ross Patterson. Texas, I mean, the California Fish and Game, whenever they raided their homes Pre dawn with 52 agents from the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the accusation, the false accusation, was that I was hunting over bait in California the same year I got Conservationists of the Year from the Director of Fishing Game. These people are so hypocritical, but they literally held a gun to my friend's head based on an allegation of a misdemeanor that I hunted over bait when I killed a beautiful black tail between an orchard and a water trough. And I suppose that might be considered bait, but it's perfectly legal. I had the right licenses, the right weapon, the right zone, the right time of year, and they just wanted to destroy me. It sounds like that's what they were doing to you.

[Scott Kesterson]

Very much so, Teddy. And the proof in the pudding is two years after I was thrown in jail, the same prosecuting attorney literally looked at me and said, we'll get you out of here in court real quick and get everything back in your life. They threw out all charges and sealed. The judge, sealed the case, literally said to me, do you have $80 in your pocket? I said, yes. She goes, go downstairs right now. Come back up. Don't even bother to worry about formalities. Raise your hand. I'll have you deliver the receipt to the court clerk. And. And we will seal your case by the end of the day. So I think that speaks volumes because for all of the media attack. And when I highlighted that point, when you get 30 stories released in an hour, if you know anything about information warfare and the coordination of media, that's not accidental to say it that way.

[Ted Nugent]

You know, Scott, go ahead. Sorry it's Jermaine's show. But I'm so intrigued.

[Shemaine Nugent]

But I want. That's why I wanted to have Ted come in. We could talk to you. In fact, you're going to come on and we're just going to do the whole.

[Ted Nugent]

And I'm doing your show soon.

[Shemaine Nugent]

Yes. But I really wanted in the last couple of minutes we have. Scott, I want to get to the heart of the matter and that's having faith in America. When everything. And you've experienced it, we've experienced it. When everything seems like the world is upside down, where do we go from here?

[Scott Kesterson]

Scott, look, it's real simple and we've got to stay in the word. You've got to stay focused on Christ. And you really have to spend time each day quietly, just clearing your mind and meditating and put Christ before you. There's many different ways people experience that head. You do it in hunting. Others do it in sitting in a church. Others do sitting in their living room or their room quietly. We have got to make sure that we are grounded because right now we're heading into an extremely divisive and chaos environment where truth is being pluralized and confused with artificial intelligence, and it's being done intentionally. So the biggest thing is get grounded. You have to have a mission each day of what you're going to do. You have to be in real world, not in imaginary world on the web. Limit your time on the on the social media stuff and get into the real space of doing things. And that's going to be one of the biggest foundations of what we do here going forward. Stay away from the political chaos because it's all gamemanship right now. Everybody's trying to get control of your mind and that's the goal. And no one has sovereignty over your mind except yourself.

[Ted Nugent]

I think that's what we've been preaching. Shaman's faith and freedom. So everybody watching right now, be sure you tell everybody you know, there is a real America's voice. There is a Scott Kesterson podcast. There's a Ted Nugent spirit campfire. Truth, logic and common sense is ubiquitous, but it's being destroyed by the government, media, academia, the global considerations. But we the people grounded. I've preached grounded and down to earth for the last 70 years. That's what my spirit of the wild is all, all about. So, Scott, ditto, ditto, ditto, quote, quote, quote. You're right on track. And I think people are learning and because of Shamayne's faith and freedom, they've been, they've been guided down a true north compass setting all these years. And we're not going to give up.

[Scott Kesterson]

Just like you, I don't know, never can. And that's, that's. I think that's the last word on that, Ted. Never give up. Even when everything's dead. You're sitting in the jail cell. It's a long story. But anyway, that whole one, Never give up because God's got you and you're going to be okay. Just never give up.

[Ted Nugent]

Go ahead. I got a great jail story in a loincloth.

[Shemaine Nugent]

I could actually outrank you guys when it comes to felonies. I could actually. I don't know if you know the story, Scott.

[Ted Nugent]

Well, she's my wife. You can imagine. Yeah, I, I can imagine the loincloth.

[Shemaine Nugent]

No, not the loincloth thing, but I actually accidentally brought a gun to the airport. I had a very serious death threats. I was arrested. So I always like you guys.

[Ted Nugent]

She did not handle it well. But I'd make a long story short because I know you'd be fascinated by this. I was doing the state fair up in Michigan, the cherry festival in Traverse City, and I got arrested for a concealed weapon felony because I had a hunting night that was exposed, which why the cops saw it. He put me in the drunk tank with a bunch of migrant cherry pickers and I had to fight them for toilet paper wearing nothing but a loincloth.

[Shemaine Nugent]

Scott, you got the last 10 seconds. Go for it.

[Scott Kesterson]

All I'm gonna say is Uncle Ted wins the day. That's it right there.

[Ted Nugent]

And that's not my best story. Scott, we love you.

[Shemaine Nugent]

We love you. Thank you so much, Scott. God bless you.

Perhaps you were born for such a time as this. Did you know that we all have two ages? Our actual age. I'm 63. And then our bodies internal biological age. What I didn't know that I have likely lowered my biological age without even knowing it. But here's the thing. Most Americans eat too much processed food and not enough fruits and veggies. And that means a lot of us are 10, maybe 20 years older on the inside than our real age. It's like a ticking time bomb. But a major university study says there's a way to diffuse that bomb. And people who drink what I drink. Field of greens actually slowed their aging. They didn't change your diet radically or radically. Start exercising just this one. Shift every fruit and veggie and field of greens is doctor selected for specific benefits. And if you're looking to feel better and age slower, Field of greens is where I would start. Swap your untested green drink for something that actually works. And you can check out the study and get 20% off at code [e-mail] that's fieldofgreens.com and the promo code is freedom. My next guest has been on the front lines of one of the most politically charged cases in our nation's history. We've spoken with him before about his prosecution and persecution on January 6, but today he's back to share where God has led him since then. Welcome back, Trennis Evans.

[Narrator/Host]

Wow, thanks, Jemaine. Thank you so much for having me. It's always great to be here. Got to see Uncle Ted here backstage for a couple minutes. Always good to be with you guys. You know, a lot of people don't know how much. How much you guys were a part of that. You spoke out for the January 6th defendants and the atrocities that were going on there related to the prosecutions that reeked of impropriety, etc. And not only that, but I'll never forget the boots on the sand event and Ted made it a point. You and Ted put that together and you had it happen that the national anthem was performed at 9 o' clock for the January 6th defendants in solidarity with those that were languishing in the prisons, in the gulags, in D.C. and other places around the country. So thank you, as always, for that.

[Shemaine Nugent]

Per your request. Per your request. And you know what, Trennis? It's kind of. It's a small request for those of us who stood back helplessly, watched you mercilessly be thrown in prison and talk about your experience and. And what your life has been like since all of that.

[Narrator/Host]

Well, you know, look, Shemaine, it's really obvious that God had a plan. And in. In my situation, what I've experienced individually was the scenario where I had one of the lesser cases of it, and I was charged with the 1512. I went through a lot with January 6th. My home was raided, my family at gunpoint for leading the national anthem and the Pledge of Allegiance inside the building. I never harmed anyone. I never destroyed any property, never touched anything that didn't belong to me. I simply went in, sang the national anthem, led the Pledge of Allegiance, and spoke out for the police, said, don't harm the police. Don't damage the building ad nauseam on a megaphone. And is all in my documents. They agreed that that's exactly what happened, exactly the way I'm stating it. Yet all of a sudden, it was like the crime of the century, and I was facing 23 years in prison. I couldn't even understand what was going on in the United States of America, how this peaceful demonstration was somehow part of an insurrection. It never made sense. You couldn't make it make sense. But, you know, thankfully now I'm now running the American Rights alliance as the coo. We have a great new show on Real America's Voice, the Case for America. So much has happened when I thought it was dark, when I thought things were just. It was insurmountable. And I was looking, you know, like this. I can't climb this wall. How am I going to do this? What am I going to do? God? How am I going to get somewhere in this new life? And here I am. I. I just. It's amazing, and I Hope that the January 6th defendants are finding their way and finding their footing individually, as we all are, because there's so many other people. There's so much happening in this country that has happened to individuals and not just January 6th defendants. And that's what we do now at American Rights alliance is represent those individuals well.

[Shemaine Nugent]

God bless you. And there are still some in prison, right?

[Narrator/Host]

Yeah. Dan Wilson. So we've had Dan Wilson since 2022. Dan and I became friends in this process, and having. I've met the man in person, and we started working on his case together. And then once he was out, he was Actually released by Judge Friedrich, my judge, same like everyone else. And then Judge Friedrich determined that there was a method for sending Dan Wilson back to prison. April. In early April, he went back to prison. He's still there. We're still waiting on the administration to get the pardon done. Judge Deneen Pirro has said that as the attorney general, excuse me, as the U.S. attorney in the District of Columbia, that the pardon applies and that they not going to represent it. The DOJ is not going to generate resources for the court, and the judge has selected Supreme Court justice clerks to come in and represent the case. Now, it's absolute insanity when the Department of Justice says the crime, that there's no crime, that the individual has a pardon. And yet here we are. This is what's happening today in America.

[Shemaine Nugent]

And we know that there have been. There were feds there, undercover Feds. We know that there were operatives there watching, and maybe they were the ones that were inciting. I mean, we all know. I don't want to. I don't know if I can name names on here, but you know who I'm talking about. How come there haven't been any arrests on that front? TRENNIS.

[Narrator/Host]

Well, I'm laughing at this because I, you know, and I'm not laughing at your question, but I'm laughing at this that we said long ago. So I was with Colonel Phil Waldron and many others back in like 2020, and we sat down, we started going through these different Feds, right? Like, the people that we have this. Like, who are these 140 people that haven't been arrested? What is it they're doing? Why not that we wanted more people arrested? I don't think anyone should have been arrested, hardly. I mean, maybe a small handful of people. But at any rate, the reality is that we wanted to get to the bottom of who these people were. We had identified with Brad Guyer and others, over 140 of these people that were right in the midst of things, that were instigating things that never got charged with a crime. And we believe those people to be federal agents. But what everyone is getting their head wrapped around is that, yeah, there's 274 admitted FBI agents now after Christopher Wray lied to the American people for four straight years, that we now know that there was 274 FBI agents present on the grounds, mixed in the crowd with the January 6th defendants. It goes along with what was being said about the busloads of men that we've heard about over a long period of time. It goes along with the idea that there were people dressed as Trump supporters in the Capitol ahead of the January 6th so called insurrection. All of this plays into this reality that we're now finding out because then we now have leadership at the DOJ and leadership at the FBI that's coming clean and telling the truth, which is what the American people deserve. It's not supposed to be when they want to tell it or the narrative they want to tell. It's supposed to be the truth. And thank God for Dan Bongino and Cash Patel for exposing that AG Pambandi and even so many other people. But Ed Martin is taking this on at the weaponization. They're looking at it. And you've got Loudermilks launching a committee. A lot is happening now, but don't lose sight of this. I want to remind our viewers here, your viewers, Shemaine, that when it comes to the feds, don't get caught up in just the FBI. There's dhs, there's ses, there's dni, all of the other three letter agencies. I promise you they had hands in this. I promise you they had agents on the ground. I'm not saying that what they did was wrong. Don't know the content of their actions. However, don't be fooled. Don't be mistaken if you don't find that there's probably 500 to 1,000 agents of the United States government and Park Police from D.C. mPD, undercover units, et cetera, et cetera. Just like we exposed in the Proud Boys trial you had me on a long time years ago. We talked about that when we exposed the 13 agents from the narcotics unit of MPD that were actually telling people, go forward, hurry up, go, go, go. There's no doubt that what those people did was incitement, was estoppel, entrapment, et cetera, et cetera. So there's a lot of concepts and a lot of legal concepts and a lot of civil action is going to be coming on these matters in the very near future.

[Shemaine Nugent]

I hope so. Trenis, in our last two minutes, let's segue into something positive. How can you encourage people who are going through difficult times to get through it and lean on their faith?

[Narrator/Host]

Oh, wow, that's a great one, Chemain. So let me tell you that I found great solace and support and community in the Word of Faith Fellowship Church in North Carolina. I had a fantastic experience there. It was mesmerizing. It was eye opening. And when I went into federal court, I kneeled and, and I put Anointing oil on my shoes, and I claimed that land for the Lord. And it felt so good, and I was so relieved. And it was watching the children dancing through the aisles as David did, and the men and the women dancing through this church. It gave me such energy. It was the last place I was before I went to court. And that moment was such a defining moment for me because I let it all go. All of the part about what I didn't know, all of the unknown, all of the fear just dissipated. And I just said, I'm going to live in the truth. I'm going to let this case, this, in this instance, this time in my life, live in the light of the truth, which is the Lord's truth. Right? That is where we get it. So in that moment, everything, it was so freeing, and I stopped caring. And it was amazing. My attorney said after what I got done saying to the judge and how the back and forth went that I was going to do, he was like, they're going to tell you to take off your shoes and your belt. You're probably going to get like eight months. I ended up getting one of the shortest sentences after that. And I think even that judge, the truth pierced her. That truth and God's light pierced into that judge's heart, and she just didn't have a choice but to make the right ruling or a much better ruling that should have been stereotypically for the January 6th community.

[Shemaine Nugent]

Oh, I love that. Well, I don't love that you had to be involved in it in the first place, but thank you for sharing your testimony with us. Trennis, in the last 20 seconds, where can people find you and and watch your new show here on Real America's Voice.

[Scott Kesterson]

Yeah.

[Narrator/Host]

Oh, my gosh. The case for America is such a great show. Evan Turk and I are doing a great job with that show. We really love it. The great crew at rav, Dave Brown's, Amazing George and Rob say, of course, Parker. I mean, it's just amazing how they put this together. They've made some guys that are not TV guys into TV guys. I mean, hats off to them. But you can find that at rav and then you can find me. You can follow me at Condemned USA on X. And of course, please follow American Rights Alliance. Now. You're looking at that picture there. I got to say something about this. Shemaine, tell me. I've got 10 seconds. John Woods, Arkansas state Senator. He was persecuted by Jack Smith. We know Jack Smith. President Trump knows who Jack Smith is. This man belongs out of prison. He should not be there. He's been there seven years by BOP neglect. He now has a pacemaker at the ripe old age of like 44 years old. Worse than that, the FBI agent, Agent Robert Cesario pled guilty after his trial. After he was sentenced, after his appeal pled guilty to the destruction of evidence. In that case, the destruction of evidence is a Brady violation. That man should be walking free. And it was another Jack Smith trumped up prosecution. That was long before the days of going after Donald Trump.

[Shemaine Nugent]

[Shemaine Nugent]

Perhaps you were born for such a time as this. Welcome back. My next guest has been putting himself into the middle of the action to show Americans what's really happening on our streets. He's been undercover at Chicago protests, coming face to face with antifa and radical groups to capture the truth with his camera. He's worked alongside journalists like Ben Berkwam. I didn't say that. Right. And documenting the violence, confrontations and threats that most networks don't touch. Terry Newsom, welcome to Faith and Freedom. Welcome back.

[Terry Newsome]

I should say thank you for having me back, Charmaine.

[Shemaine Nugent]

So what did you see in the latest antifa uproar?

[Terry Newsome]

Yeah, so we had the no Kings. We have the Chicago ICE facility, the Broadview. You know Facility. And then we had the no Kings back in June. I was at all of those, you know, multiple times. And then you see the antifa guys. You could tell the difference between who's like the full time anarchist paid agitators. Jeremy and Jason Hammond, who's been arrested multiple times. They're like, I call them the Chicago terror cells of antifa.

[Public Rec Ad Announcer]

Right?

[Terry Newsome]

They're full time agitators. Then you have kind of misfits that want to be in antifa on the outskirts. And then their goal in these different events from the dnc when me and Ben covered them as well, they try to agitate the broader group of the same people that have the same type of ideology, right? So they try to agitate, create crimes, vandalism, you know, verbally yell and swear at the police and then get in some cases get arrested. So I caught him on video throwing bricks through Tesla windows, which coincidentally there's a Tesla placed right in front of a federal building during one of their protests in, in a business district, which I thought was really, really odd. So they come with their backpacks and they have rocks and you know, different types of weapon and stuff that they carry with them to create vandalism throughout the way, including spray painting on police vehicles as well.

[Shemaine Nugent]

And. And you said that ICE agents nearly shot you while you were undercover. What happened with that?

[Terry Newsome]

Yeah, so like I drag. So the reason I dress similar to them is so that I could get them to talk to me, right? Not necessarily the anarchists, the real ones, but the other clowns that are in the group, right? So they think I'm one of them so I could talk to them. So I was at the ICE facility going from the northern part to the southern part and on 25th street, and they had it that changed sometimes daily. And how they lay out their perimeters, right? So I'm cutting through the grass around a building and they had one of their little military vehicles and three of them. I walk out and they had their, their. They say they're weapons, right? They're, they aimed guns at me.

[Ted Nugent]

They're.

[Terry Newsome]

They're basically pepper, pepper gun, pepper, bunk ball guns. And they had them all aimed at me. And I'm like, hold on, hold on, I'm with you. Meaning I'm on our side. I'm not with, you know, I'm not an antifa guy. And they're like, stay back, stay back. And they got, they had their, their guns aimed at me. And I, you know, I quickly stepped back before I got shot. I mean, it's, it's no, it's like a paintball, you know.

[Shemaine Nugent]

Oh, you got shot with. So at, at one point, Terry, do you, do you just go, okay, that's it, I'm done. This is getting a little bit too real.

[Terry Newsome]

Yeah, no, I mean, yes, I do, do I get nervous? I mean, you're in the middle. You know, I go by myself a lot. I mean, you know, like me and Ben go together when he's in town, but I go a lot by myself. And the last time I did have some issues, they identified me pretty quickly and started taking my pictures and getting around me. So yes, I do get nervous, but no, because I think I believe in my heart. I'm 64 years old by the way. I shouldn't be doing this at my age. But we're in a war, we're losing the war and people don't know. Not enough people. I cannot get fathers to show up to school board to hold my posters and stuff. When I was, my kids just graduated high school and I, I needed fathers to help me show the posters of the nasty books in our kids schools. They were scared to, they're scared to either be targeted, be targeted by antifa for their jobs, a variety of different reasons and they have to understand is that we're in a war and we need to expose this stuff. The media doesn't cover this stuff as you know. That's why having shows like yours of mine are, you know, give the, give an opportunity to show really what's happening within, in our country, within Chicago. My show's called Behind Enemy Lines for a reason. It's a communist state of Illinois. We are behind enemy lines. I was at the Christy Noem event, all protesters. I happened to be on my way to my real job and I found out they were in Lombard. And I go there and I'm filming by myself. I was not, I wasn't there only 10 seconds. I'm being assaulted by a big 200 pound antifa chick. You could tell the difference in how they act and handle and run, you know, she's definitely one of the inner circle ones and starts hitting me and grabbing my phone. I file a report with the police, Democratic, you know, city there, they don't do anything. Yeah, they don't do anything, you know, so it's like, you know, they got the government on them, on their side, especially within the city limits of Chicago. And then you got the state police which is owned by, you know, Pritzker. So we are fighting to expose the truth here. And if we don't do it. People like us, you, me, Ben and others, they're not going to see it. They're only going to see the snapshot of trying to make ice look like the enemies. Right. That's all they're going to see.

[Shemaine Nugent]

Well, thank you for what you're doing, for being bold and brave and so courageous. How can people follow you and watch your show?

[Terry Newsome]

Yeah, I'm at Terry Newsome 357. T E R R Y N E W s o m e357. I'm on getter and rumble and so forth under behind enemy lines. You know, when I show this stuff on X and Ben. Ben does as well. You know, I have so much video of these guys creating violence and harassing, attacking, targeting parents. That's part of what antifa does, is they go and they try. They try to scare. And it works here in Illinois. Right. They try to intimidate and scare us into hiding, into silence. It's happening all the time throughout the whole Chicagoland area.

[Shemaine Nugent]

No wonder my neck is sore because I'm just always shaking it like I. This is just so unbelievable. But thank you for doing what you're doing. God bless you and hope you can come back soon with better news.

[Terry Newsome]

Thank you.

[Shemaine Nugent]

God bless. Okay, we're gonna lighten it up. We had some fun today. Serious topics. But I always have to end the show with something to make you smile, so take a look.

[Narrator/Host]

Parkour.

[Ted Nugent]

Michael park.

[Shemaine Nugent]

Are you done? Oh, she's not done yet. Okay, come on, be honest. That had to make you smile, right? Do you know what they're saying? Parkour. That's some kind of a aerobics, acrobatic thing that people do. But I think they were just saying that dogs do it too. And it seems like every time I give my dogs a bath, they hate it during the bath, but that's what they do. They run around and spit around. Before I go, I wanted to thank you all so very much for joining me. It really means a lot to me to have this show, to have real America's voice on my side and to give me a platform. I've been so shadow banned. But you can follow me on social media. I'm on Instagram at Shmaine Nugent. I'm on Facebook, Shemaine Nugent, Also X and YouTube @Shamain. But I also wanted to share a few of my favorite things with you. That. And these aren't just products that I'm trying to promote. I use these products. I actually love them. And if you haven't read my books. You can get abundantly well and Killer House. Both available on Amazon. So here are some of the products that I use. One is Rho Casa R O W e Rho casa Organics. People have asked me, you know, what skincare products do you use? I, I just ran out. This is why I want to tell you. I ran out of the face serum. I'm like, no, I got to use the store bought serum. No, I got to order more. I order it too. So I use all of their products. They have natural clean products. They've got dog shampoo too. I use that on my dogs. They've got human shampoo and room spray made with essential oils. All the skincare products I use, including. Now hear me out here. There's magnesium cream that both Ted and I put on our feet at night. Don't knock it till you try it. It'll help you sleep. Seriously. And then there's a sleep spray you can put on your pillow that's got lavender in it. But it's so great, guys. So check out Rocaso Organics. And of course Uncle Get Uncle Ted's our pet products. And also my books, Abundantly well and Killer House. Those were books that I wrote because I wanted to share my tragedy with you of losing my home that was once featured on MTV Cribs to toxic mold. I got sick and almost died and no doctors could help me. So if you're wondering if your home has mold, it probably does. Get Killer House. And then the follow up book is Abundantly well. So now that you're getting healthy, you know how to exercise, what to do. And it's also Abundantly well is a 40 day wellness devotional. So I've got lots of prayers in there as well. Thank you so much everyone for joining me. I'll be here every week and I hope you will too. Remember, Esther 414 reminds us, hey, if you stay silent, like all of the people on this show, we're all here because of Esther414. If we stay silent, relief may or may not come. Who knows if you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this? I think you have. God bless you. I'll see you next week.
