He Went to Prison Over January 6 Now | He's Running for Congress

John Strand says he spent 48 minutes inside the Capitol on January 6th, providing security for Dr. Simone Gold, founder of America's Frontline Doctors. Twelve days later, an FBI SWAT team broke down his door in Beverly Hills, held him for four days without a phone call, and charged him with five felonies, including one carrying a 20-year sentence.


Strand, author of "Patriot Plea" and a candidate for Florida's 19th Congressional District, joins Jim Iuorio and Bobby Iaccino to describe what he says he actually witnessed that day, his prosecution and time in federal prison, and why he's now running for Congress
