War Room’s Steve Bannon talked with J6ers at CPAC 2025 on Friday. The men shared their experiences during incarceration, including being put in solitary confinement for days at a time.
“Why did you go down and sue the DOJ?” Bannon asked.
“My name is Brian Mugg. I’m one of the original 45 Jan 6ers that got thrown in the gulag down here back in ’21 ’22. Tortured by our government,” Mugg said.
“When you say you were tortured, give us some details. What do you mean tortured?” Bannon asked.
“They literally deprived us of every single Constitutional right that we have. I was defending myself against the government and all I had to do that with was a pen, a piece of paper and a pocket Constitution,” Mugg said.
“When I demanded my discovery, they sprayed me, they beat me, and they threw me into solitary confinement for over 100 days straight,” Mugg said.
“They deprived us of food, they deprived us of water for punitive reasons for up to 3 days at a time they shut down water in cells,” Mugg continued.
“Tell me what solitary confinement is and how it works on you psychologically?” Bannon asked.
“Solitary confinement, anything over 15 days by international standards, is considered torture,” Mugg said.
“They put you in a cell where you have five steps that you can take. Think about living in your bathroom without the ability to shower. You never see a person. Your little slot in the door opens up on occasion and some crappy food comes through,” Mugg said.
“You try not to think about your kids, you try not to think about the girlfriend that left you, you try not to think about your house being lost, your job gone, your reputation,” Mugg continued.
“Through that process you start to go insane. There is absolutely nobody on this planet that can sit and take solitary confinement,” Mugg said.
“If you don’t have God in those moments, you will go insane,” Mugg said.
He explained that when given an opportunity for a plea deal, he turned it down and refused to compromise with the corrupt DOJ under Biden.
“When they offered me 30 to 36 months and begged me, my lawyer begged me to take a plea deal, I fired him. I turned it down, they hit me with a superseding indictment,” Mugg said.
“This was solely to do one thing, to get you to rat out Donald Trump, correct? If you had done that, you walked out,” Bannon said.
“They will use any American, they will destroy them to try to get to Trump,” Bannon said.
