Here's What Happened w/ Weston Emery
Ep 5. Luke Lints (Stormed The Capital, then Pardoned By Trump)
Former January 6 defendant Luke Lints sat down with me to tell the full, unfiltered story of what he saw inside the Capitol that day when he broke in. From the moment the crowd turned from a rally into chaos, to the second he stepped inside the building and realized his life was about to change forever, Luke breaks down every detail without holding back.
He explains what pulled him into the building, what he witnessed inside, who was involved, how the police reacted, and how that day turned into federal charges, prison time, and a label he’ll never escape.
In this episode, we cover:
– What he actually saw inside the Capitol
– Why he went in & what he believed at the time
– The charges, sentencing, and jail experience
– How prison changed him
– What he thinks about America now
– What January 6 really felt like from the inside
Also joined with me is today’s co-host and friend, Justin Reid, who supports the Democratic Party and disagrees heavily with the ideas, beliefs, and actions of Luke, and everyone who was there at the capital on January 6th.
Whether you agree with him or not, this is his story — raw, emotional, and honest.
No scripts. No agenda. Just what he lived.
