In this episode of Infowars, Alex Jones discusses the recent mass shootings and how politicians and
media are calling for stricter gun control legislation. Cody Wilson from Defense Distributed talks
about their home-based CNC milling machine called Ghost Gunner 2 that allows users to create
untraceable ghost guns from non-serialized parts known as 80% lowers. The focus on specific details
in each shooting limits the conversation around gun control, while the NRA's willingness to
compromise weakens its position. Republicans sponsoring gun control bills contradict their base
beliefs, and Defense Distributed has moved past the point where gun bans can be effective due to
technologies like the Ghost Gunner. This represents a significant change in American gun politics.
Cody Wilson also discusses his product, the Ghost Gunner, and how it makes gun control more
difficult, as well as Bitcoin mining, cryptocurrency usage in developing countries, safety concerns
with high-speed trains, President Trump's tweets regarding a train accident, and calls for
infrastructure improvement spending to be redirected from foreign aid towards domestic needs.

There's a lot of controversy around this network about Alex Jones, for example.
I am Millie Weaver and you are watching the InfoWars Christmas Spectacular Extravaganza 34-hour live broadcast.
Well, we have been talking with Trey Smith Who has told us about some of the prophecies in Trump having become president and also this interesting prophecy about an upcoming potential conflict in the Middle East.
But I wanted to kind of give Trey a little bit of time here really quick to kind of finish telling us about if you have any more thoughts on this Middle Eastern conflict or prophecies regarding it.
You've got to understand that actually that particular prophecy exists in all three religions.
Islam, this is one of the things that...
Understanding what those people believe needs to occur is as important as what they believe.
I'm telling you that over there in their country, In all of their countries, they believe that their Mahdi needs to come forth.
And one of the steps to that is that you've got to determine who's in charge, who's over Islam.
And right now you've got the Sunnis and the Shiites and these guys.
Trump was just over there.
A king that has taken over in Saudi Arabia.
He's done some progressive stuff that has gotten—I mean, the Muslim nations are shaking a lot of—he's giving women the right to drive.
They had their first all-woman concert at—I don't know how many women were there.
It was a lot.
Look at the photos of it.
And for us, it seems like, well, that's no big deal.
But over there, if you were in Iran, this is like tearing the clothes time.
This is blasphemy beyond recognition.
He imprisoned a lot of his family members, and then he went and bought, I think it's a Leonardo da Vinci painting of Jesus for $450 million.
I'm not sure if I got the numbers right on that or not, but these are, I don't know what the messages are and all of those things, but this is a young guy.
I think he's the youngest king in the world that has just taken over an empire.
Trump met with him.
And we gave a hundred million or several hundred million dollars worth of weapons.
That's probably because we're concerned about Iran as well and should be.
But, yes, the next thing that comes even with your eyes, the next thing that comes up on the docket, Islam is shaking around.
So the next thing that we might see conflict-wise could be something in the Middle East.
Well, that's interesting.
I mean, it's definitely possible.
It seems like the Middle East right now is very conflicted in general.
But let's go to some of our callers.
We have Joseph from Arizona who seems to have a question for Trey Smith about your prophecies.
Now Trey, do you want to answer a caller's questions?
Alright, let's hear from Joseph.
unidentified
Yes, my brother, bless you in Jesus' name.
I wanted to discuss the current prophecies of 2017 and if you guys go to Joseph Philip Daniel Ministries on Facebook, you'll see about 14 prophecies that all have come to class this year.
From the new Federal Reserve chairman to Trump's travel ban being upheld to Nancy Pelosi losing her mind.
Now, Joseph, what's your question for Nancy Pelosi?
unidentified
The Holy Spirit sent me to shake her hand and to basically release the fire of Father God on her and break the demonic power behind her.
That video was posted on Infowars and went national pretty good.
It was picked up by several different sites until YouTube took it down, but since that point it was July 29th, when the father sent me to basically break her power.
And since that day, there's been over 20 different public sightings of Nancy basically stumbling and barely can speak.
You know, after you read the Infowars articles, and we make sure you do that first, Come over to God in a nutshell and look at what we...
You know, because the prophetic stuff is kind of...
You know, Joseph, you just keep on going before the Lord, man, and asking Him.
And as you feel things in your spirit, you post them.
And, you know, I'm just honored there's people doing that in this country.
And the Lord is speaking to a lot of...
It's interesting your name is Joseph, too.
And you're the caller.
But the Lord is speaking through a lot of people.
And don't worry about what people say.
Don't worry about...
You just...
And also don't have fear.
I think that Millie...
It's interesting how she actually really sort of enjoyed the Alex Jones ad.
I was listening to it and I thought to myself, wow.
You know, that is to go ahead and support the Infowars and get their things.
Number one, because you support them.
But number two, a part of what she was presenting there was a lot of these big vendors who are the big stores, the big shops, not all of them, but a lot of them are They are sunk awfully deep into stuff that's really against you.
I noticed that our president has really set the pace for a new era of prosperity and one-to-one collaboration between nations.
And specifically in the Middle East, the recent movement with respect to the eradication of ISIS has had a huge effect.
I'm a Sikh American, and I have a keen interest in your perspective on the Sikh principles of justice and the equality of people.
It's sort of how that ties in with the biblical principles.
I'm not a Christian, but I absolutely respect Christian ethos and the Christian way of life.
I grew up in this country and I just kind of wanted to see if you had any insight into that and your travels or anything like that that you may be able to share.
Well, there's two things there, and one of them is maybe a tip into that last question.
And that's, you know, the one thing that any of these videos that I've made, or the stuff that you've been watching for 10 years over there on Alex Jones, to be bold.
Be bold about what you...
Being bold is a good thing in these hours.
In terms of...
What I've seen, man, I've seen from my perspective, from my perspective, the spiritual stuff is more robust.
You're going to have a time of prosper.
I believe that.
Stuff is going to go.
View the United States like a set of bleachers for things that are really happening right now in the Middle East.
View it like that.
Set of bleachers and here's the Middle East down here and little Israel who just a few days ago, and that's part of prophecy as well, Jerusalem was declared the capital, and as little bitty as that seems, that's not little bitty to any of those Middle Eastern countries.
This is like a prophecy smorgasbord, in a sense.
So, one of the things I would ask you, and we make sure that you check into Alex Jones first.
We make sure that before you come.
No, I'm just kidding.
But come look at some of the videos.
I would never push anything on you, but I At all, in fact.
We're going to kind of try to move somewhat quickly here through these last callers, just because I don't want anyone that's been sitting on hold to, you know, not get a chance.
Yeah, you know, I started hearing about Bitcoin a while ago, actually back in 2012. And, you know, somebody I knew was buying a lot of Bitcoin while it wasn't that expensive.
And I'm sure they're doing really well now.
But it seems like to me, just from what I've seen, and I don't know a lot, I'm not claiming to know a lot about Bitcoin, that it looks like...
It's going to come crashing down at some point.
I mean, how high can it go before it crashes?
So, to me, it seems like, you know, it probably won't crash for a while because it seems to be something that's trending and everyone's kind of jumping on the bandwagon.
But, you know, it just seems like something that you wouldn't necessarily want to invest a ton of money in.
Just in my opinion, but I could be completely wrong.
So...
Alright, well thank you so much Chris.
Let's go to Duran from Canada.
We'll take Craig and that's it.
No more callers.
We're going to take Craig from Wisconsin and Duran from Canada.
I know Trey Smith has a lot of great content, so make sure you guys go and check his YouTube channel and his websites, because, I mean, I know I watch his stuff.
It's very entertaining, very interesting.
So I wanted to kind of get to some of these reports that I shot.
I just recently went today to a protest where these liberals were protesting outside of Senator Ted Cruz's office.
And so I simply went out there to ask them why they were protesting.
What was it about?
It was about this tax bill, okay?
They didn't like the fact that Trump is giving them tax deductions.
They claim that his tax bill is only for the filthy rich and it's only for corporate interests.
But when I tried to actually engage in dialogue with them, well, it wasn't very easy.
As soon as some of them started talking to me, People would come over and get crazy and just all sorts of stuff.
But I will show you the video so you can see it for yourself.
What do you think about how the corporations are getting a tax break?
Do you think that, you know, that might promote jobs?
I try to talk with these people and in Liberal handler people come and tell them, don't talk to her.
She's with InfoWars.
Well, we are days out from Christmas, and as you can see behind me, there are a number of protesters out here outside of Senator Ted Cruz's office in Austin, Texas, and they are protesting President Trump's new tax bill.
Well, let's go see what they have to say about this tax bill.
unidentified
You helped a bigoted pedophile in his attempts to join you in the Senate.
Mrs. Cruz, Mrs. Claus is very emphatic about childhood innocence, and she could not believe it when she heard that you were helping Roy Moore!
Senator, you voted for huge Permanent tax cuts for the ultra rich paid for from the pockets of poor working class people.
See, they interpreted it as he voted to take away health insurance when the reality is he voted so that people don't have to be forced to have health insurance.
unidentified
Senator, I enjoy giving presents, but you will have to do better if you want more than this lump of coal next year.
And purposefully, you'll notice in this footage that there's a lot of kind of even dead space here because I was constantly being accused by these people, these liberals.
Talk to us.
Okay, let's hear this.
Oh, please don't do that.
Please don't do that.
What do you guys not like about this new tax plan?
I think I'll actually benefit from it, but I don't want to benefit it if rich people are going to benefit a whole lot and if poor people and regular middle class people aren't going to.
And because the cuts for regular people are temporary, which The cuts for all of it are temporary.
You just, okay, so I'm being gaslighted about that.
That's interesting.
I can't just talk to people out here as a human being.
So what's interesting is these people, these liberals, are trying to claim that, oh, you're out here, you're gonna make us look foolish, you're gonna edit the clips.
People actually, you know, presented this protest as that they were going to go out and sing in front of Senator Ted Cruz's office, sing Christmas carols that they converted into...
Hold on, let's back that up.
Can we back that up really quick with the skeleton person?
They presented this as they're going to sing these Christmas carols and they're going to, you know, change the lyrics into offensive things.
And I had the pamphlet, but it was pretty offensive stuff.
As you can see, I'm being flipped off here by this grim reaper.
So somebody came out in a Grim Reaper costume, which I found, you know, a little bit of a sense of relief that the Grim Reaper flipped me off and walked away.
At least I wasn't being welcomed by the Grim Reaper, because that might symbol something kind of scary.
I hear what you're saying, though, on the corporations getting their taxes cut, sir.
But also, what's interesting is that...
So, see, as soon as you start making sense or wanting to actually gauge in, you know, some bit of dialogue, they just walk away.
unidentified
One thing that in particular really bothers me is that state and local caps with regards to their taxes are capped at $10,000, meaning that you can only write off about $10,000 on your federal taxes.
This shifts the burden with regards to public education and is in particular offensive to me because I've been raised through the public schools my entire life.
I guess I've got people that want to videotape me.
They act really bizarre when they see the Infowars mic and they just start dancing around, putting signs in front, videotaping, acting weird.
What's your biggest complaint?
So you want to go to the AlexJonesStore.com and get this incredible CMOS product that is called Alex Jones's Ultimate CMOS.
You will immediately feel the energy and the mental clarity.
You obviously want to be in front of the camera, sir.
A lot of people felt like the affordable health care tax was pushed on them and they didn't want to have to buy health insurance and they got penalized for not buying health insurance.
And within a few weeks, the iodine in your cells really starts to kick in.
And that's when you feel the real benefits.
There's also some other great supplements on the site.
And there's also amazing t-shirts, hoodies, and ball caps that have the message of liberty, InfoWars, Alex Jones, President Trump.
Some people have a lot of kids and it's a big expense to have to make every single one of them have health care insurance.
unidentified
All of these messages support and promote freedom and exercise your First Amendment This guy's standing in front of the camera.
I actually have known a number of people who didn't want to pay that, and I've been paying for them for years, ensuring that they have care when they need it.
I had close friends who had to go to the hospital, Brackenridge Hospital here.
They were covered, and I was paying that mandate for them.
Okay, well I just want to let you know that I'm just trying to interview people and most of the stuff these people are talking about is people coming up and saying ridiculous things.
unidentified
They will get their followers to attack you on social media.
It's like this liberal conformist thing where it's like, don't talk to them, don't talk to them.
And because their peers tell them don't talk to us, they have to conform and all like groupthink and not talk to me.
Normal discussion.
Okay.
You know, I came out here with the honest intention to just talk to people about this tax plan and what their genuine complaints were, what they had real issues with with the tax plan, but apparently we can't even do that.
I can't even just ask them questions about why they're out here protesting outside Senator Ted Cruz's office, what they want changed with the tax plan, Because, no, it has to be all about, oh, I'm with Infowars and people being rude and mean toward me.
So, people may be dressed up in Christmas attire, but they sure don't have the holiday spirit.
So while these protesters were marching around, they ended up singing some of their Christmas carols, which were renditions of their own personal beliefs about Trump and Ted Cruz, essentially with the Christmas songs.
So I decided to make my own rendition of"'Twas the Night Before Christmas." And this one is called Twas the Night Before a Trump Christmas.
So guys, with this, I will bid you farewell.
And next up, you guys will have the amazing Darren McBreen and his awesome guest, the great John Bowne.
And in honor of this wonderful Christmas where we have the Trump family in the White House, I decided to make my own rendition of Twas the Night Before Christmas, instead calling it Twas the Night Before a Trump Christmas.
And I would have got away with it too if it weren't for Alex Jones and that meddling Infowars crew.

And this is kind of a reunion for us because we are part of the class of 2011 alongside Marcos Morales who's behind the controls there in the studio tonight.
The three of us were hired roughly at the same time back in 2011. Both of your reels were a lot better than mine.
Well, what a long, strange trip it's been, though.
I mean, it's been quite the ride.
What do you remember?
I mean, first of all, I'm glad you're here, especially because you brought the beer tonight.
But other than that, I think this reunion is very cool, and it's not every day that we get to work together at the same place at the same time, and that's what we're doing right now, so very cool.
And I'm glad that we're sitting here together too, because now people can see that we're not the same person.
Because believe it or not, I've been approached several times locally here in Austin, and people recognize my voice, and they've come up to me and they're like, Man, you're John Bowne.
And you might want to grab a cup of coffee, maybe take some brain force.
Stick around because we've got a lot of stuff coming up.
We're going to talk about the FBI's investigation into the Trump-Russian...
Collusion conspiracy.
This is a witch hunt.
I like what Sean Hannity said on Fox News.
He said this is a Democrat boomerang.
Basically, Democrats are throwing out a boomerang out there to try to frame, try to set up Donald Trump, try to convince you, the American public, That he was somehow complicit and that he somehow got together with the Russians to rig the election in his favor.
And in this investigation process, this anti-Trump hit squad that's out there doing the investigation, what we're learning in the process is they're the ones who are colluding with the Russians.
They're the ones who are the criminals.
And this whole boomerang is coming back, smacking the libtards upside their treasonous heads and exposing them for the true criminals that they are.
And in the process, we're also learning that this is an attempted coup d'etat to overthrow the democratically elected president of the United States.
But then you come to acceptance, and the only way to accept things through that anger and that depression and denial is to have a gallows sense of humor about it.
And then it's enlightening, because you feel empowered once you break the matrix.
And you're out there and understand the truth.
And then you become a history buff, because that's what happened to me, because then, all of a sudden, I wanted to learn all about history, because everything I learned up until a certain point was false.
And you kind of always know that deep down inside, you know that something ain't right, that you're being lied to.
And man, once you start looking into the mainstream media, then once you realize that they're lying to you, you can see it coming a mile away.
We even know what they're going to say before they say it.
We've gotten so good at it.
And I tell you what, One of the biggest threats to the country right now, besides the establishment Democrats, is late-night comedy television.
I'm telling you, those guys have a huge influence and a huge impact on millions of Americans who, for whatever reason, they trust these late-night comedians as the gospel truth for their news.
Because this was trying to convince the American public that the President of the United States, before he became President, actually hired Russian prostitutes to urinate on a bed at a hotel that Barack Obama once stayed at.
Ludicrous, pretty demented and disgusting, yet that was their plan.
And if it wasn't for...
Pissgate, if it wasn't for the phony dossier, this whole Russian probe, and they would have never got the FISA warrant and all that to investigate this Trump collusion with the Russians.
But anyway, look, it's a few minutes long, but I think it's important that we show this.
This is how the mainstream media and how late-night television, this is how they covered the phony Russian dossier.
CNN reported that last Friday, intelligence chiefs presented Trump with claims of Russian efforts to compromise him.
unidentified
The 35-page dossier on the so-called Russian connection to Trump, with some very salacious allegations, including unsubstantiated claims about Trump in a Moscow hotel room, was not completed until just before the election, and then provided to journalists, the Clinton campaign, and the FBI. I'm struck by the fact of the way this has been furthered in the last 48 hours.
The co-founder of Fusion GPS, which commissioned the dossier from Steele, he's now done this fulsome 10-hour interview with the Senate.
He's handed over 40,000 pages of documents to the Senate, very obviously cooperating with the investigation.
And Fusion is saying openly, listen, we stand by the dossier.
Basically, we think it's true.
unidentified
It claims that Donald Trump once visited Russia Stayed in the Ritz Carlton in Moscow and then hired prostitutes to perform a golden shower and that Russia might have the whole thing on tape.
There were surveillance cameras in this room because the building is wired and that the FSB has this because they automatically have cameras in the room and they caught this happening.
Donald Trump engaged in perverted acts with prostitutes.
Everything that I had written in the, you know, in the months prior to that dossier coming out was almost identical to what the CIA had written because we're intelligence officers.
This is what we do.
That corroboration, based on intercepted communications, has given U.S. intelligence and law enforcement, quote, greater confidence in the credibility of some aspects of the dossier.
The most salacious and unverified claims are that the Russian Secret Service, or FSB, secretly filmed Mr. Trump with prostitutes in this Moscow hotel room three years ago.
Allegations the special counsel continues to investigate, George.
Today there was public testimony that further discredited the phony dossier that's been the source of so much of the fake news and conspiracy theories.
And we learned that the firm that produced it was also being paid by the Russians.
This is yet the latest piece of evidence that vindicates what the president has said.
That this is a witch hunt and a hoax.
And it's a shame that the president and the country have had to go through this charade continually, and hopefully this will help us move forward in that process.
And ridicule, big time, ridicule and humiliate them.
That's almost number one.
That's one of their top rules.
That's right.
So now what you just saw was what started it all.
If it wasn't for that phony Russia dossier...
See, what they're trying to portray here is Trump hired prostitutes in Russia, and this compromised the Trump campaign, if you will.
So that gave Obama and the Obama administration the excuse they needed to get a FISA warrant and to spy on Donald Trump.
Then remember, Trump finds out about this, and he tells the world about it on Twitter, and the liberals and the media, they lose their freaking minds.
How dare you, Donald Trump, insinuate that the President of the United States, Barack Obama, would wiretap and spy on you.
And of course, wiretapping is just a phrase for surveillance.
No one wiretaps anymore, but it was electronic surveillance.
And we now know that that's what happened.
That's what happened.
Also, I want to point out that the Hillary Clinton campaign, they're the ones who paid millions of dollars along with the FBI for that whole phony dossier.
They paid Christopher Steele, Fusion GPS, millions of dollars.
And they made it look like it was official documentation.
They dressed it up to look all official.
And that's what started the FISA warrant.
Now I want to play you, let's go on another journey, a flashback to the mainstream media and late night comedy's reaction or their coverage of Of the Obama wiretapping Donald Trump.
Check this out.
unidentified
One thing that happens when you make as many wild, unproven claims as Trump does is that the people around you have to go to increasingly ridiculous lengths to try to defend those claims.
And this weekend we saw another example of that when White House Counselor Kellyanne Conway was asked if she had any proof for Trump's outlandish claim that Obama wiretapped him during the campaign and offered this bizarre answer.
How does he know that his phone was actually tapped?
CNBC is reporting, the other North Korea nuclear threat we should be worried about, apparently Kim Jong-un was standing too close to a Hwasong-14 intercontinental ballistic missile smoking a cigarette.
And who's going to tell them, you know, you might want to...
And it might trigger some people, and that could be fun, too.
I was like, I wore CNN sucks shirt.
To the grocery store, and I got some dirty looks in Austin.
Of course, Austin is the one blue dot in all of red Texas.
But I got some dirty looks, and this lady says, that is not true.
And I'm like, what's not true?
She said, well, your shirt, it is not true.
I said, okay.
She's a little triggered by it.
And then Hillary for prison, I gotta tell you, this was last year, Hillary for prison t-shirt, my girlfriend Jana, we went to Thanksgiving to her mom's house, and Jana walks in the door, Thanksgiving Day, but her mom didn't see, because it looks like the real Hillary for president, and her mom says, get the hell out of my house with that shit.
Alex Jones here with an extremely exciting announcement that will be a gift to yourself and a gift to the InfoWar to fight the globalist and live in a free society.
I know from using this myself the last few months and from seeing my friends and family use it, that this new product is going to end up being the number one best-selling product at InfoWarsLife.com because it works so well.
It is Alpha Power.
Ladies and gentlemen, Alpha Pound is so strong, so concentrated, that quite frankly, a lot of you might want to use some of the other products we've previously come out with that are excellent but aren't anywhere as strong.
It's hard to quantify the stamina, the energy, the libido, the crazed mental focus.
But let me just say this.
Use this with care.
And Alpha Power works synergistically with super male vitality and super female vitality.
But I want to be clear.
We could have called this formula something like alpha male or alpha man.
They had a meltdown over an ad that I cut in April and they found it like it was some secret and they were like, oh my God, this is the funniest thing ever.
So they literally had an autistic screeching fit over an ad of me promoting Brain Force, which is a nootropic.
Which, like, literally half the people in Silicon Valley take, which everybody has their different brand of, oh, but when InfoWars does it, it's bad and it's funny somehow.
If that's the best they've got, we advertise products that got five-star independent reviews that you see right there on InfoWarsStore.com, Brain Force Plus.
They had an absolute meltdown.
It was hilarious.
unidentified
They wrote at Vice.com.
Listen, if this is the best they've got against yours truly, I advertised brain force six months ago.
My friends, we're in the middle of the second American revolution.

Yeah, that's real interesting, John, but not as interesting as the attempted terrorist attack in New York last week, or not as interesting as Donald Trump drinking 12 diet sodas a day.
But they talked about, during this terrorist attack, attempted terrorist attack, CNN was talking about their breaking story was Donald Trump drinking 12 diet sodas a day.
Yeah, Merry Jesus Christmas, Jesus Christ, Christmas Jesus.
unidentified
Yeah, I've been to that.
Yeah, I got just a few, you know, a little bit of food for thought to throw out there about President Trump.
We all know he's a real good chess player.
And I think, you know, Possibly here with all this conspiracy and stuff, what if he's already brought Sessions in and had a little talk with him and gave him a reprieve sort of on anything he may have done wrong and letting him run some backdoor investigations into federal election fraud and all things Hillary.
I think every one of us, InfoWarriors all across the country, we all have a neighbor, a family member, a friend, a co-worker who just thinks you're nuts and you're a crazy conspiracy theorist.
So we all have to deal with that.
And what's funny is, isn't it tough to have a conversation with a lot of these people?
Hopefully it's not starting any bad blood between your family members.
unidentified
Are you experiencing that, Mark?
Physically, because I don't believe CO2 and methane is causing global warming.
Well, the point of it is, Mark, is that when you get right down to it, as an American citizen, you are an individual.
It's not that you're white, black, or green, or you believe this or believe that.
You have experienced your life.
I've experienced mine.
Darren's experienced his.
You know, everybody out in the control room, they've all experienced theirs as individuals.
And we've been given this country to express ourselves as individuals and to give other people the respect they deserve to express themselves as individuals.
That's the point of this country.
So we've been given this Borg mentality by the mainstream media to say, no, you're not an individual.
And I'm telling you what, folks, they talk about his approval ratings are low.
Don't buy it.
Remember, this is the same people who said that Hillary Clinton, the day of the election, what was it, the Huffington Post, and she had 98% chance of winning the damn thing.
So they don't know what they're talking about.
Trump is very popular.
Of course, he's very unpopular, too.
But the people that don't like him, just the content, look at the content How stupid do you gotta be to run a criminal like Hillary Clinton?
There is no faith in justice in America if, as long as Hillary Clinton remains free and as long as she's not locked up, until that happens, people are going to lose all faith in the justice system.
I was with Aaron Dykes, and we went out there to cover a terrorist drill.
And we're in the Denver airport.
I turn around, and this huge mural's right there.
I say, hey, let's do a report right here now.
And pretty creepy, huh?
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
My buddy worked on the jail cells underneath the airport, and I didn't believe him.
And then he told me all the people that own land around the airport, all the big money elites, and you're like, why would they own all this land connected to the DIA? Why would they have...
But anyway, that's not what I called to talk about.
What I called to talk about is I think that Sessions is an absolute genius.
And I'll tell you what I'm basing that on.
In times past, I've had friends that have done business with Trump on a very, very high level that have literally been in his boardroom.
I met him briefly in Atlanta through a friend of mine.
And the one thing that everybody will tell you about Trump What you see is what you get.
He is a dominant personality, which means he wants you to cut to the chase.
He doesn't want to hear any fluff.
It's just, what's the bottom line?
Also, when you talk to guys that know him, he has the wisdom and insight of Solomon.
I mean, he can sit across the table from somebody for about a minute and read them like a book.
And you saw sort of that same thing on The Apprentice, too.
He was excellent at sort of smoking out motives of people that maybe they wouldn't be so open to show.
You know, and it was better than a football game, because I used to be a big football fan, and that right there was touchdown, and everybody was cheering when he said that.
Look, Donald Trump is the ultimate anti-establishment president.
I never thought I'd live to see the day, I'll be honest.
We were talking about how this is the class of 2011 when we first started working here, three of us that are here tonight.
Or early this morning, whatever you want to call it.
But I just really wanted Ron Paul to get in.
It didn't happen.
And I just thought the establishment had so much control that there's no way that this could happen.
Well, and another thing that mainstream media is not showing you that all across Europe and everything, hundreds of thousands of people are taken to the street protesting this Muslim tsunami that's occurring all across Europe.
And they don't show that.
And we do know that Zuckerberg met with Angela Merkel at the UN.
They were caught on a hot mic.
And she said basically something in regards to, hey, are you going to do something about people that post anti-Muslim rhetoric on Facebook?
So, hey, but you were saying something about that Jeff Sessions is a genius.
Tell me more, because I just have a feeling that I don't know why he's procrastinating, and I'm just really eager for him to start investigating the Clintons, and this whole Uranium One, the whole, you know, lock her up!
When's it going to start?
unidentified
No, I guarantee you guys, he already is doing that.
And he's putting together a case that is out of this world, and he is making sure there is no wiggle room in it.
Because I will tell you, going back to my point about Trump, if Trump thought he was soft on something, Trump would nail his ass to the wall in three seconds.
You hear this a lot, people always saying that, You know, the illegals are doing jobs that Americans don't want to do.
Well, when I first moved to Austin, Texas from Kentucky back in early 90s, I didn't have a car.
I was a musician.
I had to run to my landscaping job, and I worked with illegal aliens landscaping the rich yards of Austin, Texas.
And I did it willingly because I come from Kentucky where people actually work.
So, this whole idea that you're not going to do physical labor and that for some reason the color of my skin means that I've never done physical labor or I do physical labor now.
And we were all excited that we were going to get an opportunity one summer to build three childcare daycare centers.
But it was a bid.
We had competition.
And we lost, even though we were, I think, the most qualified because we had done a lot of these before.
But the reason why we lost is because we lost to a minority-owned company.
And congratulations to them.
I'm glad they got to work and everything.
But we just thought, wow, where's our white privilege, this so-called mythical white privilege?
Because of the color of our skin, we lost that contract.
Now, I was telling you that a lot of these counties that the welfare and the food stamps are being taken away from folks are where unemployment is down.
That's another requirement for Trump to take away these EBT cards.
For example, about 6,000 food stamp recipients in Metro Atlanta are now required to find work or get into a job training program.
Like I said, these programs are heavily abused, but I want to show you a clip.
Just think about what would happen to the communities if they actually did get off the welfare and got into their communities and started working to rebuild their communities.
You nailed it because I think in the long run, a lot of these lazy asses, once they go to work and find out what it's like to really work for a living and then you get pride in your work, it's just better.
Their lives improve in the process.
So, hey, I want to show you these liberals getting triggered over losing their EBT and losing their food stamps.
Check this out.
unidentified
Give me my food stamps.
Do you really want to work or do you just want to get a free check?
They are not incapacitated in any way or they, you know, they don't have a mental or physical disability that's documented and or could be observable.
More counties will join them as federal exemptions to the requirements expire now that unemployment is below 10% for each affected county.
I felt really bad about being on food stamps for a while.
They're just for people who really, really need it, I thought, and I'm living this flippant lifestyle in San Francisco.
Do you think you really, really need it?
Well, yeah, and eventually I just sort of realized that even though I'm 24, I still have responsibilities, I still have hopes for my future, and if I need to be on food stamps to make that happen, then maybe I do really need it.
Are you employed?
How do you feel about that?
I'm comfortable with it and I feel like I don't need to look for one because I get a check from the government every month.
Do you feel guilty about using your food stamp card when you have $850,000 in the bank?
No.
No, I don't.
I'm going by the rules and if they need to change their rules, they can change their rules, but I don't see I'm doing anything wrong.
How much do you collect in benefits?
I give 780 in food stamps, $500 in tennis, and I get Medicaid and WIC. Give me my food stamps.
We've got to change people's minds and just illustrate to them that once you go to work and once you bring home that paycheck and earn a trade, learn a trade, earn a living...

About 15 years ago, he heard me ranting and raving about fluoride and toothpaste and how it causes brain damage and lower IQ and dental furlosis.
And he said, son, I don't care who you have on the air.
That's a bunch of bull.
You need fluoride or you die.
And I actually showed him what was in the water supply and the fluoride.
He said, this is incredible.
This is Grignard Reagents Heavy Metals.
They're covering for it, calling it fluoride under law with a loophole to dump toxic waste in the food and water.
Exactly.
Now, CNN had to admit last month, in utero and in children, massive IQ reductions.
Well, six years ago, the EPA said reduce it in water by half.
You don't drink your sunscreen, but hydrofluorosilic acid is a...
Hopped up version of fluoride.
It's been turned into an acid.
It's an adjuvant.
It's very toxic.
But there is the CNN headline that fluoride in the water and in toothpaste is causing IQs to drop precipitously.
And for seven years, the American Dental Association says don't brush children's teeth until age six with it.
Why does it say nursery water that at the store with added fluoride?
And they didn't add calcium fluoride, boys and girls.
They added hydrofluorosilic acid.
That's why my dad and I developed, with the same folks that make Toms of Maine, it's private labeled, super blue, non-fluoride toothpaste with colloidal silver and high-quality iodine, which you die without iodine.
Massive iodine deficiencies in the country.
If you drink the stuff that's at the store, it'll kill you.
It's a different type of iodine.
This is the real medical grade.
It's 33% off right now.
And we have the bubblegum, natural flavor, organic flavor for children that doesn't have as much of the peppermint in it because it says concentrated toothpaste.
Super blue toothpaste available at InfoWarsStore.com.

But I think I first interviewed you back in 2012. And then Larry came out and spent a couple days in Austin, and him and I hit it off real well, and then we've been friends ever since.
So you want to go to the AlexJonesStore.com and get this incredible CMOS product that is called Alex Jones's Ultimate CMOS.

All of these messages support and promote freedom and exercise your First Amendment What are your thoughts on that?
And also, what are your thoughts of how the mainstream media is lockstep and arm every step of the way with the establishment when it comes to this Rush-Trump conspiracy theory?
Well, frankly, if it weren't so despicable, it would actually be hilarious.
It would almost be like the Keystone Cop, okay?
But it is very serious.
Very serious.
And, you know, the reality is that those who are trying to do the framing are themselves earlobed deep, not knee deep, earlobed deep in so-called collusion.
The people of this nation need to understand that it is not only the president who is being set up and attacked, It is all of us.
It is any of us who, whether we're conservative, libertarian, any of us who oppose the establishment, rhinos, who oppose the deep state, we are all involved in this and we are all under attack.
The Democrats have become the blatant party of fascism.
Fascism, okay?
And it is rather ironic.
It is rather ironic that they call themselves Democrats because they are anything but Democratic.
And the fact of the matter is, again, that we the people, just everyday ordinary black, white, brown, red, and yellow people, we everyday people are the modus, if you will, to pushing this.
You know, it shows just how low These creatures will go.
And by creatures, I'm talking about the Obama, Clinton, Soros, McCabe, Miller machine, etc.
Martin Luther King's message, he believed when he was at Boston College, he studied personalism.
And personalism is the philosophy that we all experience connection to God, but that we all experience our own innate individuality.
And that's where the attack is on.
And if I see somebody else's color or religion or so on and so forth, I'm becoming part of this Borg mentality, this socialist communist mentality.
That's not what being an American is.
Being an American is respecting the life that this guy next to me has lived, the life that you've lived, the experiences you've had, and for us to come to the table and see each other eye to eye like that.
Well, my first thought, my brother, is that we must not allow them to succeed.
The reality is that the deep state combined with the so-called progressives, I say so-called, because they wouldn't know progressiveness if it slapped them in the face.
As a matter of fact, Those who call themselves liberals have no concept of Jeffersonian liberalism.
They don't even know what liberalism actually meant, okay?
We have to understand what we are really up against.
I cannot overemphasize the fact that this system, this establishment wants to divide us, wants to keep us in fear of each other, This is how they control us.
And Darren and John, you both are correct.
This did not happen by osmosis.
This was deliberate.
This was deliberate.
Okay?
And groups such as Antifa, who are in large part funded by creatures such as George Soros, and I have no doubt, no doubt that the Obama, that's drone man, you know, drone man, the person...
Who brought you, along with Hillary Clinton, or Hillary Hillary Clinton, who brought you slavery back on the African continent?
Hello?
Okay, let's remember this.
This is what I try to remind people of, you know.
And then there's Hillary Hillary Clinton.
Clinton, whose close friend and confidant, was who?
A Ku Klux Klan recruiter, okay?
Member and recruiter, none other than Robert F. Byrd.
And everything the liberals touch just is disastrous.
I mean, look at their infiltration into the NFL, for example, just how they've infiltrated the NFL, this whole kneeling crap that's going on.
Look, I want to go to a phone call because Chaz from New York, he's been holding for close to 45 minutes, but he wants to talk about liberals and the progressive movement.
Chaz, what's going on?
Welcome to the program.
unidentified
Hey, John.
Actually, before I say anything, I do want to say that Rainforest stuff is really good.
I normally live in Israel, but I'm visiting my mom right now, and I had a pack of that waiting for me when I arrived home, and it's like anti-jet lag pills.
Anyway, I was going to say that liberals, you know, I mean, not only did they steal the word liberal, but they also stole the word progressive.
The first progressive party in America was actually founded by Teddy Roosevelt, who was formerly a Republican, and he formed that.
You know, it became known as the Bull Moose Party because he said, I'm as fit as a bull moose to, like, somebody in the press, and they were making fun of him.
So, you know, he was a very conservative guy, and the progressive movement was originally a conservative movement, but, you know, it sounds like a cool word.
Basically, they take any policy that really isn't progressive, I'd say even regressive, and they put progressive in front of it, and it sounds cool, and then liberals like it.
And you can even get some conservatives, I guess, that don't really know what the policy really is to jump on board because progressive just sounds good.
Yeah, they're the, you know, you are the resistance, you know, and I'm just like, I don't know, what kind of crazy screwed up world do we live in these days?
There's no such thing, frankly, as the new Black Panther.
Okay?
There's no such thing.
You know, it's absurd, it's ludicrous, it's ridiculous, and it's dangerous.
Yes, you are absolutely correct that the so-called New Black Panthers have attempted to hijack not only the name but the legacy of the original Black Panther Party.
They, in my opinion, in my humble opinion, they are Nothing more than a tool of the establishment.
And they play on, just as the caller was saying, how things are stolen.
The word resistance, stolen.
The word liberal, stolen.
The word progressive, stolen.
New Black Panther Party, stolen.
Stolen.
Okay?
And, you know, As a person who was directly in and involved with the original Black Panther Party, we believe in all power to the people!
We believe that Black people, white people, brown people, red people, yellow people, all Our brothers and sisters, whether we like it or not, and we have to function accordingly.
The very survival of our nation and of humankind is at stake, and the globalists know this.
So, as far as the so-called New Black Panther Party, you know what they can do?
FDR said, always remember the character of the onslaught against us.
And I think that's another good quote, because look at the character of, let's say, Antifa, or better yet, Look at the character of public enemy number one, George Soros, who's funding Antifa.
He's also funding the tsunami Muslim, just the Muslim tsunami that's going through Europe right now.
And we're talking about if Hillary Clinton was president?
Let me tell you something, folks.
We'd be looking at many more migrants coming into the country, a lot of Muslim migrants coming in.
We don't want that.
We don't want to turn into Europe.
But Larry, I was thinking if you could tell us a little bit more about that and tell us about how you used to go to Sweden and how it's changed since when you used to like to go vacation there.
I have a deep love and a deep respect for the Swedish people, just everyday ordinary Swedish people, because I live there.
You know, as they say in Swedish when they're asking you, do you speak Swedish?
Do you speak Swedish?
Yes, I can speak.
Why do I say that?
That brings chills to my body because the Swedish people today, in very large measure, not just Sweden, but I know Sweden, have been duped.
Their cultures Or their culture has been turned upside down.
You know, when I think of Sweden, I remember a good friend of mine by the name, a Swedish gentleman, a good friend.
We partied together.
We argued together.
Oh yes, we would argue like cats and dogs.
And we loved each other dearly.
And by the way, I'm talking about the love between a brother and a brother.
So, I don't want this to be misinterpreted as the bomb extreme media often does.
And, you know, I remember saying to Stan many years ago, to Stan this month, I said, You know, the culture, one of the things that the Swedes like to do is put their shoes, or at least at that time, outside of the door.
You enter the home or the apartment or whatever, and you see all these little pairs of shoes, right?
And Sten was so proud.
He said, he said, Larry, you see?
That's a part of our culture.
And I said, Sten, that's a part of all of our cultures.
I had just been in Tanzania.
The people there do that.
Japan!
The people there do that.
All I'm trying to say is it pains me very, very, very deeply to see what the globalists have done to not only Sweden, but in this case, you know, to the Swedish people.
You know, it's not about being anti-Muslim or anti-Islam.
It's about being pro- The people, any religion, any religion, I don't care what it is, any religion that continues to preach in this 21st century that people who are not of that religion are infidel, what does that tell you?
What does that tell you?
And by the way, I've read Koran or the Holy Koran.
I've read it at least twice.
And As well as the Bible, as well as Torah, etc., etc.
But you know, enough already!
Enough!
A person is judged by their action.
It just pains me so deeply when I think of my dear brothers and sisters in Sweden, as it's said in Swedish, in Sweden, to see what has happened, to see how the globalists have attempted to wreak havoc.
And they have, in fact, wreaked havoc, not only in Sweden, but Belgium, France, Germany!
I mean, it's an endless list, as Gil Scott Heron would say, that won't be missed.
And so, yeah, you've touched something that really is very close to my heart, the memories that I have of the brothers and sisters there who happened to be blue-eyed, blonde-haired, And very, very beautiful people.
If you want to get to know a Swede, it'll take you some time, all right?
unidentified
But once you have a friend, you really have a friend.
But I'm so afraid, not only for the Swedish people and other people throughout the European continent, I'm very much concerned about here, the United States.
And I want to say something.
Loud and proud.
And I don't care who gets offended by it.
Merry Christmas!
And may you have a happy and productive New Year.
And those who don't like me saying Merry Christmas, you know what you can do.
All right?
This country and the people in this country have a right To our own values and culture.
And even though, and I'll say this truthfully, honestly, blatantly, we are not perfect.
This country is by no means perfect.
But name me one country that is.
Name me one country that is perfect.
You cannot.
But the United States and the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, if we would adhere to that, We would find that we would be even greater with all of our faults, with all of our, how can I put it, fallacies.
We're human!
But I want to segue right now into the so-called left, the so-called Democrats, the so-called progressives.
These people are hypocrites!
Thank you, Mr. Obama, for bringing slavery back to North Africa.
Thank you, Hillary Killery, for bringing slavery back to North Africa.
And you know I'm specifically talking about the slavery in Libya.
But, I mean, there's times where I think these liberal progressives, they want to flood the country with migrants and radical Muslim terrorists and just what they're trying to do to destroy the country.
People might think I'm taking this a little too far, but I honestly do believe that the liberal progressive movement might be the number one threat to the United States of America right now.
To the world, indeed, but speaking in the context of the United States, and I have to keep saying that the so-called liberals—these people don't know what liberalism is—the so-called progressives, they're not progressive.
As John said, I believe you used the word regressive, John, and that's precisely what they are.
Who's the biggest threat?
I can put it this way.
In my humble opinion, It is internal.
The threat is internal.
You see, if you destroy the family, if you destroy the values of a country, what are you doing?
You are destroying the nation.
You are destroying the nation state.
And this is clearly the objective of double-speaking persons, in quotation marks, such as Barack Obama, George Soros, Hillary Clinton, McCabe.
I mean, the list goes on and on.
So to answer your question succinctly, my brother Darren, I think it's internal.
I think the threat, the biggest and most dangerous and most insidious threat To this nation, right now, at this point in time in history, is internal, and the threat is coming from so-called, and I say so-called liberals, so-called progressives, and the so-called left.
And I could even say that the biggest threat, Larry was talking about internally, we have a rogue CIA. The intelligence agencies are corrupt at the top.
A lot of outstanding patriotic Americans that work for all these agencies.
But at the very top, what would they say?
Scum rises to the top.
We also have the big banks and the military-industrial complex.
And a lot of these are controlled by a liberal Saul Alinsky type of mindset.
So very dangerous.
Hey, look, we've got time for one more call.
We're going to get a Canadian perspective from Harold in Canada who wants to say Merry Christmas from Canada.
Harold, welcome to the InfoWars Marathon broadcast.
unidentified
Well, hi there, and Merry Christmas to you, the whole crew.
So, yeah, I actually have been following, you know, all of this dirty dossier thing, the Russian collusion nonsense, and been trying to keep track of what crimes are a dumb deal, what are a slam dunk.
And there's have to be about five of them.
Jerome Corsi just reported on the FBI apparently helping cook the dirty dossier.
I'm pretty sure that sounds like treason.
Hillary destroying evidence after being ordered to keep it.
Pretty sure that's a crime.
Comey admitting in testimony that he leaked classified information.
That's a crime.
Obama creating a birth certificate that was conclusively proven by Arpaio to be fraudulent.
Tell us a little bit about InfoWars, how important it is to support us.
And not just InfoWars, folks, just the entire independent media.
The mainstream media is dying.
Independent media is taking over.
And I think they're afraid, very afraid in the process, but we got to keep on keeping on, like Larry says, and please support InfoWars, support independent media, because the only way we're going to win this fight, and this is a fight for the very survival of our country and civilization.
How do we continue the fight, Larry, and how do we support InfoWars and others like us?
They have a critical range of moisture, and you get above it, they get laden with it, and then you get early drop, you know?
These are fruit-bearing trees here, and marshmallows are a tree fruit, and when you get this water in them, they drop off down into the ground, and that's it.
You can't harvest them.
It's the third straight year that grower Ben Jochen will not take any marshmallows to market.
He knows that growing the cash crop is a gamble, a lost bet that may have cost him his farm.
Marshmallows are a difficult crop.
There's really no doubt about that.
We planted 275 acres in trees, but it takes four years from the time that you get the tree planted before you're going to get your first kind of a harvest out of it at all.
So you've got to figure eight or nine years before you start to make any money back from it at all.
And we were hoping to make about three and a half million dollars if we could run this orchard at full capacity, but the way it looks now, I'm not even going to be able to keep up the loan on the tractor.
The situation has officials in Raleigh worried, and despite the best efforts in research by agricultural experts like Willie Kidd, this year's crop statewide is all but lost.
This isn't better, but it tastes terrible.
I'll bet you so.
Take a bite out of it.
We're bitter.
Yeah.
But the economic news from the crop's failure is even more bitter.
Ben's not alone.
This is going to be a $40 million loss statewide.
All the marshmallow producers are in trouble this year.
The government might come through with some low interest loans or some form of subsidy.
But one thing is certain.
Marshmallow growers are proud people, and they won't attempt to market a product that has been tainted by the elements.
Well, the problem mostly is quality.
You look at the little ones here, they're stunted by all the rain.
They're never gonna sell.
The large ones, they got mellow mold on them.
They're slimy.
And they're bitter.
They're not gonna sell.
I guess most of us haven't thought about North Carolina's troubled marshmallow industry lately.
I know that I haven't.
To most of us, a marshmallow is nothing more than just a luxury item.
But to growers like Ben Yochum, they're much, much more than that.
This is CNN. Merry Christmas, my fellow Infowarriors.

unidentified
From the front lines of the information war, it's Alex Jones.
This is, let's see, it is today, or I guess it is yesterday now.
We've been up for a while.
Good morning to all the, whether you're just waking up or have stayed up with us all night, we're glad you're here.
And so this was yesterday, the 18th of December, and it is hero off-duty cop is caught on camera bravely pursuing Costco gunmen moments before shooting him dead.
So I think we actually have the video of that that we can play as B-roll in the background.
Because this is, it was all caught on film.
This is in a Costco in, let's see, where would this take place?
I'm not sure where this was.
Kansas City, there you go.
It's in Kansas City.
And you can see in the video here, you can see the guy come in and everybody starts running.
So there comes the guy.
You can see it highlighted there.
And he comes in, and according to this article, he was telling people, I'm a off-duty U.S. Marshal, and I'm here to kill people.
And you see there's a guy behind the counter here that gets on the ground, clearly says something threatening there.
No, I mean, well, obviously, this is a super terrifying situation for everybody in there, and I think now, at this point, you can finally see the gunman actually enter the screen, and Joseph said, there he is.
No, no, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this is not the gunman.
Yeah, you can see the gunman actually move, and you see this guy, I mean, he takes, like, a cat-like stance, and he's moving in between the aisles, and he sneaks up right behind this guy.
Yeah, this guy Howell luckily is a concealed carry guy.
He was in Costco, I guess, buying an electric fireplace is what he said with his friend.
Just happened to be in the store, saw the guy entering in and used some of his police training, used his concealed carry and saved an unknown number of lives.
And that's one of the things when these mass murders, when these mass shootings happen, they're super tragic.
But you never know.
We can't say, this man who shot this gunman saved 17 lives.
Well, the case in Southern One Springs here in Texas, the good guy with the gun shot at him and they stopped him because what the police said is that he was on his way to another church.
So we actually have the video of that about how gun bans, which they call for in the wake of these shootings, are kind of a thing of the past because if you can create the technology...
To make bans obsolete or make bans ineffective, you have bypassed gun control.
You don't need to ask for their permission, much like Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
You don't need the permission of the big banks.
You can bypass their systems by creating your own systems.
You're taking that capability and making it your own.
It's kind of the ultimate expression of your Second Amendment rights.
So let's go ahead and look at that clip.
In the wake of recent mass shootings in Las Vegas and Texas, politicians and the liberal media are once again calling for strict gun control legislation.
InfoWars met up with Cody Wilson, founder of Defense Distributed, to see where their home CNC mill, the Ghost Gunner, makes gun bans not only a violation of our Second Amendment rights, but a technical impossibility.
unidentified
The Internet comes out first, and I think they always congratulate and I think they always congratulate themselves.
It'll be about the features of this gun in this shooting.
It'll be about the bump stop.
Well, that, yeah, like David Furmer wrote this piece, okay, sure, we're limiting the gun control conversation every time to what the particular details are of each shooting.
That's not smart.
They're going to give up bump stocks today, and then six months from now, it'll be another accessory.
Worst case scenario, ATF will set up a new framework to regulate features on guns that modify their, what, rate of fire?
Are we going to ban 100-round magazines?
Yeah, magazines are clearly next.
I agree with GOA's position that, no, this is a setup for mag bans.
It did seem to suggest a lead to accessory bans.
I'm glad the NRA's backed off.
You know?
They always feel the need to have to offer something in a moment.
Like Sandy Hook, they were willing to throw down or lay down on background checks and all these other things.
Even there's this small bill, the Undetectable Firearms Act, they renew it every 10 years.
It's a nothing law right now, but they all understand this one affects 3D printing and stuff.
That's never going to expire.
Any new regulation, you should never count it expiring.
But I guess my second biggest gripe, if it's not the NRA shaping the narrative, is These are Republicans in power, at a point of power that they've rarely had, and they're the ones sponsoring the gun control bills.
Like, you know, 2018's around the corner.
No one's really happy with the Republican leadership.
Why?
Why throw the guns down?
You're in a position of power, right?
And then just, like, warring with the president, and these...
And gun bans are obviously not only ineffective in stopping crime, but at this point, what you're doing with Defense Distributed, you've moved past the point where gun bans can ever be a thing.
The day we put out this update that now, you know, this, the most popular handgun of all time, can be machined from a tiny device in your kitchen with no numbers, this Vegas thing happens and everyone wants to talk about gun control.
Look, I mean, my announcement was, look, we're pretty sure gun control is now finished.
I mean, technically finished.
When you can have this, when you possess this and the ability to make this to machine standards, the most popular handgun of all time, This changes American gun politics in a more substantial way than any kind of, I don't know, flap about, you know, the features of some novelty device on a rifle ever could.
Certainly don't want to shoot your camera guy either.
When we announced these updates, we wanted to suggest it's not just one edition.
We're talking about the whole harvest here.
The ambition and the precision of where the machine is now suggests the entire range of aluminum and polymer frame handguns.
I mean, we're talking SIGs, we're talking obviously Glock clones and other types of builds.
This is everything you could want and it's in a package now and a place of ease and affordability to where I legitimately think this is a new category of ownership of firearms.
This is a permanent change of American gun politics leading to something like a sea change.
The Liberator was suggesting we thought the digital, we thought the internet was going to serve guns, serve gun files, going to give you techniques and ways to make gun files for yourself, to actually manufacture things that you didn't have to.
On a million-dollar Swiss machine or something, you know, or buy an ammunition factory.
It's going to be small batch homebrew stuff, but you're going to be able to do things with much more accuracy and speed than you had ever considered.
So here's a Liberator, an old Liberator body.
You know, it looks strange and accidental and, you know, like a second thought.
A lot of our shapes at the time we learned from AR lowers and stuff.
Anyway, the point was, even with the most rudimentary 3D techniques of the day, we could get to a pistol and now, for the rest of time, all these techniques are going to yield better and better equipment.
There isn't, you know, like, well, one day, no, I mean, you're here, you know, in a very substantial way in milling, like, you're here.
And we're just trying to give it a nice, you know, you saw the video and everything, we're trying to announce it with a little bit of panage, I guess, but other events are distractions.
Other conversations on the hill are distractions.
Oh, we can ban this, we can fiddle with that.
You know, the technocratic administrative state can say, like, oh, you know, these features, I don't know, the whole frame has exploded.
Look, Michael Bloomberg has announced basically his entire fortune will, in a substantial part, be donated to the cause of gun control for the next few generations.
I mean, gun control is now funded as far as the eye can see, as far as we can plan and predict.
That site is funded.
We know what it wants.
It doesn't want to stop.
It doesn't want to say, okay, you know, we got to seven-round magazines.
That's good.
That's common sense gun control.
That's something that, you know, every town believes in.
No, no, no.
They want it all.
They want it at the state level.
They want it at the federal level.
They want to, when I hand you this handgun right here, take it.
They want that to be paperwork.
They want there to be paperwork every single time I hand the damn thing off.
I'm not going to be able to pass certain types of weapons to my children.
And then they think they can micromanage every single feature, just like look at California's handgun registry.
No new handguns added to that safe registry since 2005, I'm told.
Okay?
They want to slowly, by a thousand cuts, suffocate one of the greatest gun cultures of all time, which is ours, an Anglo-American tradition, which is part and parcel of the liberties that we enjoy.
The second enshrined protection against federal government power in our Bill of Rights.
They want it all.
The only way to defeat that is not with voice, it's not with electing a pro-gun congress.
You might get that.
You got it right now in some part.
The only way to defeat it is to technically, actually defeat it.
It is the easiest thing in the world to make this, to find this, to find surplus parts for this.
They're bringing them in from Korea now, right?
Obama tried to forestall it for years.
It is the easiest thing in the world to do this.
And when you can make it technically easy, when you can make it, just like Bastiat said, right?
When something is easy to be done, to criminalize it is to create the conditions for conflict.
You must make it very, very difficult for them to get in between you and your culture.
So a very important thing is not just buying guns like the NRA represents or these other entities, but making them.
And when it's to the point where you just know in the back of your head, you just know the internet serves gun files.
I can download guns.
I can make guns.
It pushes them off some of the things they think they can do.
It's just a fact now, you know, 10 years from now, people can download and make guns.
It's just a fact.
It makes it much, much harder for them to achieve their ambitions, which are multi-generational.
And in their minds right now, just something that they're on the cusp of achieving.
You have to destroy that for them actually and prevent them from thinking that they can have that form of control.
this is what this type of work does and what my company has done for many years and will continue to do so that was cody wilson of defense distributed talking about his product the ghost gunner which gives you that ability to to make guns in your own home I think kind of the most significant thing he hit on there is you can't take this away.
And they didn't even it wasn't like they had, you know, it wasn't like the allied forces had people, you know, over the lines that they were dropping these two.
And like you were saying, the first iteration of Cody Wilson's that is named after the Liberator gun from World War II is a little clunky, a little plasticky, and is, like you said, not your daily carry gun.
But these guns that they're printing with the Ghost Gunner, I mean, they...
They're real guns.
You'd carry around.
You would never know that they were printed in someone's home.
And it's so smart because, like Cody was saying, This is a way to actually put, you know, full stop, you cannot take our rights from us.
Because a lot of sort of what we do and what we deal with is just trying to stem the tide of people trying to take our rights, people trying to just wear away, chip away at the First Amendment or chip away at the Second Amendment and ban this type of gun or this type of gun or owe you a certain feature.
Legal marijuana, you can't have guns.
You know, just chip it away, chip it away, chip it away.
With the ultimate goal of getting rid of it altogether.
Whereas with this, it's like, there's nothing you can do to stop people from having guns once this information is out there.
I mean, could there be some sort of false flag where they buy a ton of Bitcoin and then crash it and then...
Could they use big government supercomputers to mine an immense amount of Bitcoin, crash the market?
Could they do something to convince the public that it's dangerous and that there's so much illegal stuff going on that we actually need to come in and have regulations about Bitcoin?
Because now that Bitcoin is becoming a real thing that everybody knows about.
I initially got into Bitcoin years ago because I saw its use as a...
Payment method.
You could do transactions through Bitcoin.
And because of the volume of transactions that it's scaled to, and I think Bitcoin definitely has some scalability issues, now it's not very practical to use it as a payment method because to get your transaction confirmed on the blockchain, you have to send a fee with that transaction, a minor fee, which goes to the people who are mining the Bitcoin.
And at this point, that's a couple dollars.
Years ago, you could send thousands of dollars worth of Bitcoin, which was a number of Bitcoin, but you could send that for cents or just pennies.
But now, with the high value of one Bitcoin and the mining fees and all these blocks that are constantly full, because each 10 minutes there's a new block that's mined.
So the miners are getting this.
I'm trying to think of how to explain this in a few words.
So, when there's a change introduced, the miners vote on it by...
It's activating some sort of flag in the code, but basically when it hits a certain number, that becomes where the blockchain goes to.
So that would be called a soft fork in the code.
So the blockchain is splitting off, then there's hard forks too, but we won't get into all of that.
There could be an attack on Bitcoin.
If you control the majority of the network, The mining network.
Then you can do some manipulation there.
You can spend a transaction twice, which people used to worry about that with small value things.
They're like, oh, should I wait for three confirmations?
That was kind of the rule.
Wait for three confirmations, which is about 30 minutes to know that the money is not going to be reversed somehow.
It's like, well, you can really only do something like that if you have 51% of the entire Bitcoin network, which right now just the sheer power, like electrical power involved in Having 50% of the Bitcoin network is just immense.
I mean, the scale that Bitcoin is happening at today and the cost going into it and electrical costs, things like that, the hardware to mine it.
People started mining this on their computer CPUs, then they moved to graphics cards, then they moved to...
There's something in between graphics cards and ASICs, application-specific integrated circuits.
And these are chips that are created to do specifically this one equation, the SHA-2 hash.
Which is basically what you're solving to mine the Bitcoin.
So these are circuits created to do that much, much faster than your computer can.
So you can't really mine Bitcoin anymore with your computer processor.
And the cost of just the hardware alone to capture half the Bitcoin network would be...
I'm making up numbers here, but I would imagine it's many billions of dollars in order to make a significant impact on the market.
There's only certain companies out there because you want to get one of these chips made, you have to go to a chip foundry.
You have to have someone design the integrated circuits.
It's very involved, very expensive.
So, do I think someone could hack Bitcoin?
Not really.
Could government get involved?
Yes.
Are we at risk of things like China manipulating currency?
That's a number I've So a lot of that goes on, a lot of the mining goes on in China because of the corruption that is rampant in China.
So with Bitcoin, your biggest factor in profitability is your cost of electricity.
So in China, if you know the right people, from what I've heard, the electricity is essentially free.
So they set up these Bitcoin mines that would be using tens of millions of dollars of electricity as much as large factories or things like that per year.
And instead of paying their power bill, it's all just going into their pocket.
So there's a significant amount of Bitcoin mining being done in China.
It wouldn't make sense in a lot of the places in the U.S. unless you're getting some killer deal on power to be mining Bitcoin here in the United States.
One of the reasons I say that is because, you know, obviously we're worried about the banking system and the way that the banking cartels are able to manipulate the currency, manipulate money, and control entire governments that way and that type of stuff.
Obviously, Ron Paul has been a longtime supporter of the gold standard.
People are now sort of moving away from that.
I think it's sort of seen as a little bit antiquated, and they're looking at cryptocurrencies as a viable alternative.
I actually have a story here.
It's from a little while ago, but it's...
It's pertinent.
Japan considers launching J-Coin, eliminating cash before Tokyo 2020 Games.
And so they're trying to eliminate cash as a payment option in all of Japan, which is interesting because Japan is currently functioning at a 70% cash economy, which is huge.
And the reason they're saying they want to do it is as a means of tracking transaction.
That's the same reason why they are moving towards a cashless system in India right now is because there's a huge, I think they call it black money or black market, where it's untaxed.
Basically, it's untaxed.
Basically, that's the big problem with it is that it changes hands without the government coming in and taking a little piece, and they want to get rid of that, so they get rid of cash, because obviously cash is impossible to track.
And so that's why I'm kind of confused.
I'm trying to figure out cryptocurrency because it seems like here it says they're moving to, I guess you could consider it a cryptocurrency, as a means of tracking transactions.
So I get confused as to why cryptocurrency is considered more safe or more liberating than the fiat currency we have now.
I think cryptocurrency in general has a lot of potential for...
You were talking about India, lots of the developing world, Africa.
And most of these countries...
Everyone has cell phones.
They may not be smartphones but they have cell phones.
These countries have pretty good cellular networks.
We were in a very devastated part of Haiti that had been absolutely destroyed after the hurricane.
But there's, you know, full bars of 3G, and these people had cellware panels and things like that that'd all be gathered around with, you know, these power strips plugged into power strips plugged into a generator, all charging their cell phones.
Because the cell phone was kind of a lifeline for them.
That's amazing.
Like I said, the transaction fee on Bitcoin right now is more than a lot of people in the world live on per day.
So is Bitcoin the answer for unbanking these people?
No.
Bitcoin's not.
But cryptocurrency in general, creating monetary systems where they can send money with just a text message.
They may not have cash, they may not have a bank, but they can send money to each other through their phones.
There's a lot of potential in that.
And you were asking who the different miners are.
Here's a graph here, the different percentages.
AntPoll, 18.1%.
BTC.com, 21%.
So these are mining pools.
And...
People run their miners at home, and their miners contribute to a pull.
So you're kind of working in a group to increase your odds of mining that Bitcoin block and getting the reward of that block, but you're getting a portion of it.
Now, you could run your miner by yourself, and if you get it right, you get either, I forget when it halved, but either 50 Bitcoin or I believe it's down to 25 is the reward now for mining the block.
You would get the entirety of that.
Whereas in this, your pool might mine a block every 30 minutes or an hour depending upon which one of these you belong to.
BTC.com at 21% in an hour, they'll probably mine two blocks.
Just guessing, you know, 60 minutes, a new block every 10 minutes.
You've got six of those.
They've got 20% of it, so between one and two an hour.
And you'd get a portion of that, whatever your share is, after they take out their 1% or whatever the administrative fee for the poll is.
So you don't really have any...
Bitfury, I think they do their own mining, their own hardware.
So there are some in here that they're actually doing the mining.
It's more kind of centralized mining.
And I'm not sure about some of these other players.
Like I said, I haven't been super involved in the past two years or so.
I used to be a lot more involved with Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general.
But it has potential.
It definitely has potential.
And whether it's Bitcoin or not, whether Bitcoin's going to crash...
I mean, it's not going to crash to $100 tomorrow.
Or anytime.
That just isn't going to happen because also you have to consider the amount of power and electricity that goes into mining this.
That proof of work that is inherent to Bitcoin makes it worth something.
In Washington State, a train flew off the curve here.
Let's see.
We've got this article here from Seattle Times.
Amtrak train was reportedly going 80 in a 30 mile per hour zone.
And you can see the curve the train went around here.
It looks like a pretty severe turn.
And some articles I was reading were pointing out a speed limit sign saying they were only supposed to be going 30. Carr said when the train was going parallel to them, I guess around the curve up here, that...
The train is going faster than the highway traffic was.
So it's going to be interesting.
Apparently NTSB has already sent people to the scene.
It says here that on Monday evening, they're still not clear of what caused it.
The maximum speed on that stretch of track is 79 miles an hour with the speed limit on the curb.
Top speed of 30 and that train 501, it was called was going 81.1 miles per hour.
That's the Amtrak train tracker service that keeps track of all the trains or movements and their speeds.
Have it going at almost three times the speed limit, which seems like a pretty obvious cause of the of the crash.
Not sure why they why they were going that fast.
But it says here that the Amtrak train that derailed south of Seattle on Monday, injuring dozens, killing several passengers, was on an initial run as part of a fast service that had previously led local authorities to warn of fatalities.
So this was a new upgrade.
It was one hundred one hundred and eighty point seven million dollar upgrade that was that was supposed to save 10 minutes and rely on.
Well, and it says apparently they had a meeting, a public presentation earlier this month, and at that meeting, Don Anderson, the mayor of Lakewood, Washington, repeated concerns he'd raised for years, warning that deaths were inevitable.
Quote, come back when there's an accident and try to justify not putting in those safety enhancements, or you can go back now and advocate for the money to do it because this project was never needed and endangers our citizens, Anderson said.
So that's a mayor of a nearby town that clearly saw the danger and said, I think specifically the safety improvements he had were things like overpasses or separations between the track and pedestrian paths and things like that.
So maybe he didn't see a train flying off the tracks, but he was worried about people walking onto the tracks or wandering onto the tracks with these high-speed trains.
Well, and of course, 80 miles an hour is not exactly high-speed rail when we compare it to trains in Japan and other countries where they're going in the 200s.
A consultant who was previously an investigator in charge for the NTSB said it appeared to him that the derailment was caused by speed.
He said the track appeared relatively undisturbed, so it seemed unlikely that something knocked the train off the track, and he noted that it appeared the train drove in a straight line, missing the turn, which would be consistent with the images we're seeing of the There's this turn here, but the train's just going too fast, so it gets there, hops the tracks, you know, quickly comes to a stop, causing all those other cars behind it to fall off.
Well, and this was an interesting thing, just again from this meeting in Lakewood, Washington.
He says, Lakewood pressed for additional money for safety projects along the new lines and received some concessions for crossing improvements and fencing.
But Anderson, this is the mayor, said that a brand new high-speed rail project would not have allowed so many at-grade crossings in a suburban setting.
They'd instead have been moved to tunnels or overpasses.
That the Amtrak Spur was grandfathered out of some of those requirements because it runs along an existing line.
And he says, quote, there's a reason the word railroaded is in our vocabulary.
They wrote the rule.
So clearly you had locals in this area saying we don't want this.
It's dangerous.
There are rules you're supposed to follow, but you're not following them because you have these arcane sort of ways of finding loop.
Well, the railroads have had an incredible amount of power and influence in the U.S. over the years, especially when they were more of the main means of transportation before the highway system and then on-road or long-haul trucking took off.
Rail was pretty much the option that you had, so these rail right-of-ways just snaking the country.
Yeah, he says, so the first tweet, this is just kind of funny, not to make light of a tragic situation, but this just sort of shows some of the irony and...
And hypocrisy of the left.
So, Don Trump says, the train accident that has occurred in DuPont, Washington, shows more than ever why our soon-to-be-submitted infrastructure plan must be approved quickly.
$7 trillion spent in the Middle East while our roads, bridges, tunnels, railways, and more crumble.
Not for long.
To which somebody replies, how about the people who were injured or killed are in my thoughts today?
Obviously, Trump is just an unfeeling monster, and they have to remind him, hey, why don't you act a little human?
Well, I mean, there's just a lot of stuff that we could be doing here.
And to be quite frank with you, it was it was one of the reasons that I as a as an innocent, starry eyed 18 year old voted for Obama.
But basically for that exact reason, because he said, hey, you know, these people, the Bushes have been have spent eight years just whiling our hope and change.
But, you know, what he said was basically the same thing that Trump is saying.
Hey, let's stop spending all this money on these pointless, stupid wars and start spending it on us and spending it here and improving our lives and making things better here.
