Harrison Smith hosts the Alex Jones Show, filling in for the primary host. He announces an upcoming interview with Zachary Rehl regarding the pardons and legal status of January 6 defendants. Smith emphasizes that Donald Trump fulfilled his promise to pardon these individuals, which remains a primary reason for his continued support of the former president.

Harrison Smith interviews Zachary Rehl, a January 6 defendant whose sentence was commuted. Rehl explains how he acted as his own attorney (pro se) to expose a major Brady violation involving star witness Jeremy Bertino. Rehl alleges the FBI coerced Bertino into providing false testimony and hid over a dozen meetings from the defense, leading to the dismissal of sedition charges.

Zachary Rehl discusses his decision to represent himself after his attorneys were hesitant to aggressively pursue the witness recantation. He argues that highlighting the political nature of the prosecution was essential for securing either a dismissal or a pardon. Rehl describes the risk of going pro se and his ultimate success in getting the recanted testimony into the official court record.
