John Strand on J6, Prison, and the Fight for America
With Allan and Corri Hunsperger · Guest: John Strand
Actor, model, author, and congressional candidate John Strand never imagined his path would lead from Hollywood to a federal prison cell. After refusing a Department of Justice plea deal following January 6, Strand was sentenced to prison before ultimately receiving a presidential pardon. He shares why he stood his ground, how the experience reshaped his view of America, and why he believes preserving freedom requires courage, personal responsibility, and engaged citizens. The conversation also explores illegal immigration, border security, Western civilization, faith, and the future of the American republic.
