From Kyiv to J6: The Fall of Law and Liberty | Guest Enrique Tarrio

Today’s episode was a powerhouse! Host Joe Oltmann welcomed special guest Enrique Tarrio, a January 6th defendant, for an unfiltered dive into the crumbling facade of democracy—both abroad and here at home. Buckle up, because this one hit hard.   Joe kicked things off by dismantling the myth of Ukraine as a democratic beacon. Joe didn’t mince words: calling Ukraine democratic is “laughable,” and claiming most of Europe fits the bill isn’t much better. Zelensky’s track record—canceling elections, turning his military on his own people, and forcing men into a senseless war—paints a grim picture. But it’s not just Ukraine. Europe’s in a tailspin, and the question looms large: has this rot crept into the U.S. under Biden?   Enter Enrique Tarrio, who brought the heat with his firsthand account of the January 6th fallout. He and Joe unpacked how J6 defendants faced entrapment, Gestapo-style raids, arrests, and jaw-droppingly harsh sentences. Enrique’s story underscored a chilling reality: the rule of law and justice might be faltering stateside too. The duo also touched on Tina Peters, spotlighting the DOJ’s growing overreach into her case—an ominous sign of weaponized government.   So, where do we go from here? Can President Trump summon the grit to stop this slide and restore America’s greatness? Joe and Enrique wrestled with that question, leaving us with plenty to chew on.
