You're tuned in to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith.

When you are overthrowing a government, the local police are obviously going to be a problem.
After the Bolshevik Revolution, a secret police force was created to purge the public of any political opposition.
After Hitler came to power, the noxification of local police departments took only three years, leaving a fully centralized police force under the control of SS leader Heinrich Himmler by 1936.
In Venezuela, Maduro created a paramilitary force and employs non-state actors to fight against citizen patriots.
It's an obvious priority when you plan on overthrowing a country and eliminating people's constitutional rights, then you have to deal with the police who have sworn an oath to protect those rights.
And we are now witnessing this in America.
In Austin, Texas, Mayor Steve Adler came to power as one of the biggest landowners of Austin and spends most of his time perched above the city in the tallest penthouse, which is fitting.
Adler does not act according to the will of the people, but rather as their king.
When asked by Vice if he regretted ending the camping ban, which has unquestionably brought thousands of dangerous transients from all over the country into the once safe streets of Austin, he proudly admits to forcing his own disruptive agenda upon the people of Austin.
unidentified
Was it a mistake to lift the ban?
steve adler
It was absolutely not a mistake to lift the ban.
I think that sometimes you really need disruptive action if you're trying to make change.
greg reese
He arrogantly goes on to say that if the people vote to reinstate the camping ban, which has since happened, that nothing will change.
steve adler
So I'm concerned about it passing and creating an expectation in some parts of our community that somehow or another these people will at that point disappear, because they won't.
greg reese
Some of these so-called homeless people are camping outside Austin City Hall, where they openly brag about going to war with the police.
unidentified
If it's a war they want, it's a war they go to.
greg reese
BLM supporter and Travis County DA Trudy Strasburger recently posted a job ad looking for a heavy hitter who is looking to prosecute police officers.
Austin City Council has brazenly decided to defund the police by $150 million.
This, along with having the streets filled with desperate transients, has naturally resulted in a sharp increase of violent crimes, robberies, and murders.
Adler even joked with Joe Rogan how he succeeded at slowing Austin's growth by importing crime.
steve adler
You know, but as I explained to people, there's only one way to really stop a city from growing.
icarus in wisconsin
Bring in crime.
steve adler
Bring in crime.
Make it a desirable place to live.
greg reese
Order out of chaos.
This is the job of Adler and his radical city council.
Destroy Texas from within.
And it's working.
Our election system has been subverted.
And the population so brainwashed that Texans will likely elect Hollywood movie star Matthew McConaughey to be their next governor, proving once and for all that Texas is finished.
If you don't think they can turn Texas into California, Just give it a few years.
The enemy's resolve seems to be far greater than our own.
When radical local governments ignore the will of the people and the people no longer have a vote, then the only hope for survival is to stand up against them.
harrison smith
An absolutely incredible video by our very own Greg Reese.
Please do share this video, especially if you're in Austin or Texas.
Will Texas resist the communist takeover?
Find it on Band.Video and InfoWars.com.
Oh man, I have a lot to say about this.
Also, I was talking to my sister about it yesterday and she said, our governor needs to be more obnoxious.
He needs to be more like Ron DeSantis.
All these people moving to Texas, they can move here, but we gotta let them know this is the way we do things here.
And if you don't like it, you can go back where you came from.
But instead, he's doing things like he'll sign the abortion bill late at night under cover of darkness.
Like they're ashamed.
And we need to be shouting this from the rooftops.
This is how we do things here.
like it or leave it.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to American Journal.
My name is Harrison Smith.
You're watching us on InfoWars.com and Band.Video.
Thanks so much for being here today.
Let us get right into it, shall we?
unidentified
We'll start as we always do with our daily dispatch.
harrison smith
Here it is, folks, your daily dispatch for Wednesday, May 26th, 2021.
Prosecutor in Trump criminal probe convenes grand jury to hear evidence and weigh potential charges.
Manhattan's district attorney has convened the grand jury that is expected to decide whether to indict former President Donald Trump and other executives at his company or the business itself should prosecutors present the panel with criminal charges.
According to two people familiar with the development, the panel was convened recently and will sit three days a week for six months.
It's likely to hear several matters, not just the Trump case during its term, which is longer than the traditional New York state grand jury assignment.
Like others, these people who spoke to MSN spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing investigation.
Generally, special grand juries such as this are convened to participate in long-term matters rather than hear evidence of crimes that are charged routinely.
The move indicates that District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr.' 's investigation of the former president and his business has reached an advanced stage after more than two years.
It suggests that Vance thinks he has found evidence of a crime, if not by Trump, by someone potentially close to him or his company.
Vance's investigation is expansive, according to people familiar with the probe and public disclosures made during related litigation.
His investigators are scrutinizing Trump's business practices before he was president, including whether the value of specific properties in the Trump Organization's real estate portfolio Well, if translation necessary here, it's political persecution.
Plain and simple.
You think this would be happening if Trump wasn't a hugely successful dissident politician?
You think, really, this is the top priority for Cy Vance Jr.? ?
Manhattan's District Attorney, you'd think during a time of skyrocketing violent crime, where four-year-olds are shot in Times Square while on vacation, you'd think maybe there are other things to concern themselves with.
You'd think the billions of dollars going in and out of New York, probably a huge percentage of that, Totally illicit.
Totally under the table.
Totally illegal.
Massive corporations and non-governmental organizations engage routinely in flaunting of the law.
Why go after this one in particular?
Maybe it has something to do with who their president is.
And maybe this is just a nice little vision for the future.
Become a politician.
Become successful against the left.
Prepare to have District attorneys spend two full years investigating every aspect of your life, desperately searching for something to pin you on.
They're desperately trying to send Trump to prison.
It's completely political and entirely unacceptable.
But there it is.
Obama judge uses 200-year-old ruling to claim Steve Bannon was guilty by accepting President Trump's pardon, and then they dismissed the case.
Yeah, they tried to politically persecute him.
They tried to use The power that you've scammed from the American people to abuse your political opponents, but it turns out they had to just drop it instead.
The case against Steve Bannon by the Southern District of New York was dismissed today by another angry and unjust Obama judge.
In dismissing Bannon's case, which should have been done months ago as soon as he was pardoned by President Trump, the Obama judge couldn't help but suggest Bannon was guilty, and she did this using 200-year-old court cases.
Before ending her ruling, Torres extensively cited case law, suggesting Bannon's acceptance of a pardon acknowledged the truth behind allegations that he conspired defraud donors at the non-profit We Build the Wall and pocketing the loot through money laundering.
Just both of these stories are in the same line of Legal moves against Roger Stone, against Alex Jones, against Infowars itself.
It's using the courts to persecute your political enemies.
Nothing surprising about this.
We're in the midst of a communist takeover.
So, that's what's gonna happen.
A driver faces a deadly weapons charge for hitting BLM agitators.
Well, I mean, if they ran over BLM agitators, I guess, you know, it's a deadly weapon.
You're trying to kill people.
Well, what's this?
One had a gun and they were mobbing my car.
Oh, a little bit different there.
Maybe get on the damn sidewalk in protest instead of in the middle of the road.
You should go to jail for obstructing traffic.
Absolutely incredible.
It's from the Citizen Free Press.
Yeah, there you go, folks.
If you are swarmed and attacked by gun-wielding angry mobs trying to pull you out of your car, just let them.
Just let them do that.
Just go ahead and die, because defending yourself or just pressing on the gas pedal and driving down the road apparently will get you sent to prison under deadly weapons charges, which probably holds decades in prison for you.
William Shakespeare, not that one.
This William Shakespeare is the first man in Britain to receive an approved COVID vaccine.
Celebrated, this was a major achievement in the country, the UK, the first vaccinated person.
He was so happy to get the vaccine.
Well, he's dead.
He's dead now.
William Shakespeare, a man with a famous name who inspired headline writers across Britain last year when he became the second person in the country to receive a coronavirus vaccine, has died after suffering a stroke, his family said in a statement.
He was 81.
Since Mr. Shakespeare was vaccinated on December 8th at University Hospital Coventry in central England, 57% of Britain's population has received at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine, the highest vaccination rate in the world.
One of them.
There you go.
In a statement released through his hospital where Mr. Shakespeare was vaccinated, his wife of 53 years, Joy, said he had been grateful for becoming one of the first people vaccinated against the coronavirus.
Very sad development there.
If only he hadn't gotten the vaccine, he'd probably still be alive today.
Australia power station explosion leaves thousands without electricity.
Hundreds of thousands of people across the Australian state of Queensland were left without electricity after an explosion at a power station.
Energy companies are now scrambling to restore power, while local officials have warned of traffic chaos.
About 250,000 customers have since had their electricity restored, according to energy providers, but many are still left without power.
They asked people in the area to reduce electricity usage where possible.
They said it was a generator turbine fire, and they expected it to be a prolonged event.
What I would wonder is, were the parts, were the chips of this power station, were the components of this power station perhaps manufactured in China?
And does this have to do anything with the fact that China has recently started banging the war drum with Australia, claiming that they'll be the first to fall should violence occur over Taiwan?
Some to consider, considering that most of our power generating plants here in America are fully stocked with Chinese components that directly connect through the internet to the Chinese Communist Party.
Wouldn't be that hard.
Flip a switch, shut down American electricity.
Did they do that in Australia?
I guess we'll just have to wait to see.
Homeless campers around City Hall in Austin formed their own armed security detail.
One Austin City Council member is raising safety concerns about an encampment around City Hall.
For weeks, people experiencing homelessness have surrounded City Hall with their tents in protest of Austin voters reinstating the city's camping ban.
City Council member Mackenzie Kelly tweeted she was harassed as she walked out of City Hall on Monday.
In the tweet, she said she saw one man with a metal pipe and at least one knife, making her feel unsafe.
There have since been another encounter.
We'll show you the video of that later today.
We'll talk about that a lot in this episode, trust me.
Tech company backs out of Arizona election audit.
Tech company that oversaw the hand count of Maricopa County ballots.
Arizona's Republican Senate-led audit of 2020 election results has decided to back out of the recount.
A new company has taken its place.
Apparently, we'll talk a little bit more about this in today's program as well as this other update from Arizona.
Arizona Secretary of State stripped of her duties after trying to interfere in the election audit by the GOP Statehouse.
And power has been given now to the Attorney General until the end of 2020.
23.
So more updates with the Arizona election audit to discuss in this program.
Here's a report, not particularly surprising, but rather illuminating.
Biden and his administration actually shut down an investigation into the Wuhan lab probing for the origin of COVID-19.
And finally, we have a report from Facebook saying that the U.S.
is a top target for foreign and domestic influence operations.
We're going to get real into this report in today's program.
Very far into it.
We're going to dissect this thing.
I hope you join us.
That's your Daily Dispatch.

Yesterday was the great debate between Nick Fuentes and Robert Barnes.
Maybe that's what I'll take your calls about today.
Did you watch it?
Did you enjoy it?
Who do you think won?
It was definitely very successful, very highly watched, highly talked about.
Like most debates, it depends on who you supported going in, who you think won, which I think is kind of a good thing.
Clearly, Nick Fuentes and Robert Barnes aren't going to solve the intractable amnesty of the Middle East political affairs in a couple hours, so I didn't expect one of them to come shining out on top.
And from what I've been reading on Twitter today, it seems like the audience was fairly well split.
People that agreed with Robert Barnes thinks that he did a great job.
People that agree with Nick Fuentes think that he wiped the floor with Robert Barnes.
So I think that's a successful debate, and I expect we'll see a lot more of these.
And I really enjoyed Alex Jones's intro to the entire program, where he talked about the tradition of debates, a tradition that dates Heck, all the way back to the Roman Empire at the very least, where you had, I mean, that was entertainment for the day.
You'd go down to the Senate and watch them argue, and they would be two plaintiffs, you know, arguing against each other.
That's how people like Caesar and, you know, all these other really famous Romans made their name, basically sort of as lawyers, as prosecutors, as advocates for various causes, particularly.
Very thrilling and entertaining and important and informative.
And so I think we should do more debates in the future and I hope that you enjoyed sort of the first rebirth of this debate style and hopefully we'll see more of it.
I'd like to see more people Get involved.
Even more mainstream people come on.
I mean, this is the thing about InfoWars, especially with something like Israel-Palestine.
I mean, I think our audience is fairly well split down the middle on the issue.
And so it's good to have people from both sides come out and have all the time in the world to air their thoughts.
That's the way that the truth has arrived at many times.
Maybe the best way that humans have under this time.
There you go.
Robert Barnes bragging about the spanking Nick Fuentes.
Uh, debatable.
Debatable!
Said it was a fun debate.
Don't complain too much, Groipers.
It's all in good fun.
We're all on the same side here, the side of America and what's best for our people.
So, uh, nothing wrong with a little bit of gentle, friendly ribbing there.
Hopefully you enjoyed it.
I'll go ahead and open up the phone lines, and that'll be the first topic that I'll be taking your calls on.
Did you watch the debate?
Who do you think won?
What did you think about it?
What can we do better next time?
What topic would you like to see debated next time?
That's what I want to hear your calls about today on American Journal.
The number to dial is 1-877-789-2539.
unidentified
1-877-789-2539.
harrison smith
Give us a call right now.
There's Nick Fuentes.
888-925-391877, 789-2539.
Give us a call right now.
There's Nick Fuentes.
Thank you to Barnes Law, Alex Jones, and the crew at InfoWars, and everybody who tuned in tonight for a great debate.
THE great debate.
Nick, it was very great, very entertaining, very fun, very impressive, honestly.
Two very intelligent guys going at it.
It's like seeing two all-star boxers beat the crap out of each other.
It's something to see, a sight to see, and it's really incredible.
So again, the number to dial, 1-877-789-2539.
Give us a call at American Journal, and we'll be taking your calls throughout today's program, because I do not have a guest.
No guest today, but lots of videos to show you, as always.
And I almost want to just play the Greg Reese video again about Texas resisting the communist takeover.
It really is, it really is that bad.
You know, there's some things that I hear in my real life and I just, I know like a lot of people in my personal life, they don't watch the show.
They would never hear me talk.
I don't want to, like, bring up stuff that they say on the off chance that they hear it and get insulted that I'm, you know, mocking them on national television.
But, let's see how I can say this.
There's some people from California that moved here, and they are, well, Texas' worst nightmare, you might want to say.
Got, you know, mansions in San Francisco, Napa Valley.
moved to Texas with the belief that California was crumbling because of climate change.
That's what was wrong with California.
They had to flee the climate change that was causing all the fires, for which people had been arrested for arson, by the way.
Oh yeah, all the fires.
All the fires, all the crime, all the chaos.
Darn it, climate change.
They literally said, It seems like Texas is just immune to climate change.
Immune to climate change.
This is what we're dealing with here.
You've got people whose state has been utterly destroyed by democratic policies.
Then they blame those policies on climate change.
And in their mind, the reason that Republican states don't have the same problem that Democrat states have is because Republican states are somehow, magically, without descript, without, without, I can't even imagine how this would be possible, but they believe that Texas is somehow immune to climate change, while California is not, and that's what's causing the problems.
So now they're moving to Texas.
And bringing all those problems with us.
With them.
And then when the problems arrive in Texas, and Texas starts to collapse because of their socialist policies, they'll say, darn it, the climate change got us here too!
It followed us!
The climate change must have followed us to Texas.
How does it know?
What do they have against us, this climate change?
It's just mind-blowing.
I think my sister was right when she said, Texas's governor needs to be more Obnoxious.
Needs to be more in the forefront.
This is not a time for quiet resistance.
This is not a time for passing abortion bills and then signing them in the dead of night with no fanfare.
Now is the time to take on the mold of a Ron DeSantis, where every single day he's out in front of the public making some grand pronouncement, codifying, solidifying, and projecting the values of Florida.
Florida's still exploding.
Florida is massively gaining population.
Population in Democratic states is plummeting as people flee those Democratic states and move to red states.
Now Florida is going to be in a much better position compared to Texas when it comes to the migration and the influence of all of these liberals fleeing.
All of these parasites, these locusts, who have now consumed the field That they were originally in and now are flying to our field to consume it as well before moving on to one of their other mini houses in other states.
And we need to let them know, leave that crap behind.
Do not bring that here.
We don't want it.
We're not interested in it.
You conform to us.
You are coming here.
You conform to us.
But instead we have this Texas governor who's just like, we're so happy all these big tech companies are moving.
You know, it's just so exciting.
We're just going to be full of Californians and Indians.
And nothing will change, I'm sure.
No, we need to be shouting from the rooftops.
These are our values.
We don't kill babies.
Okay?
We don't want to replace our people with foreigners because it's cheaper for the major corporations.
We don't want trillions of dollars being taxed out of our people and given to scammers who claim they're lowering carbon through carbon credits.
Like, we don't want that crap.
Leave that behind.
We need to make that perfectly clear.
I don't know if Texas is gonna survive.
When we get back, I'll cover The death of Austin, the homeless camp chaos that's happening, and the attacks that are being made against the only city council member with any brains in her head, Mackenzie Kelly, who, uh, is, yeah, she can't leave City Hall without being accosted by armed homeless people.
unidentified
It's a problem.

We're going to do a little contest.
I want to do a contest on American Journal for callers.
Maybe not today, maybe tomorrow, maybe every day.
I want to hold a contest that says if you can call into American Journal before Johnny from Denmark, you're going to get a t-shirt.
Because Johnny from Denmark, he's got us on speed dial or something.
I don't know how he does it, but every single day Johnny from Denmark is the number one caller.
And it's honestly impressive.
I just want to know if anybody can beat him.
I want to see who can beat Johnny from Denmark in the quick draw.
American call-in shows.
Maybe we'll do that from now on, but of course I'm joking.
Johnny from Denmark, you have called in about last night's debate on Fuentes' side.
What's your secret, Johnny?
How do you call in so quickly every single day?
johnny in denmark
I don't know, but I haven't gotten on in the last 13 days.
harrison smith
It has been a little while, but you're on now, and I want to hear what you had to say about last night's debate.
You say you're on Fuentes' side.
How do you think you did?
johnny in denmark
No, no, I didn't say, well, kind of.
I was on his side of the issue.
I'm one of those, you know, I'm a very critical thinker, as you know, and I expected Bob, by virtue of his profession, to do a better job, which he did, but I think Nick was more on the right side of the issue.
Two glaring omissions, actually two glaring blunders, I think, that Nick made were one of commission and the other one of omission.
The commission was mentioning 9-11 as evidence of Islamo-terrorism because we know it's a lot deeper than that.
Right.
And actually, Bob missed an opportunity there.
Actually, Nick missed an opportunity there.
They both missed an opportunity to say that, hey, how about the dancing Israelis?
You know?
harrison smith
Right, right.
I think Paul Joseph Watson brought them up earlier in the program, but yeah, that's a good point.
unidentified
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
johnny in denmark
He did.
He did.
And two, he failed to mention, Nick failed to mention anything about Epstein.
And anybody who thinks, you know, that, I mean, this is just common sense, that all these revelations about Epstein, which are still forthcoming after his death or presumed death, wouldn't have an effect on the The Jewish lobby in America has got to be kidding, is either deluding themselves or just extremely ignorant.
He could have made the moral argument also, and to the extent they're talking about realpolitik, which Bob cleverly shifted the discussion into at the beginning, even mentioning that word, Bob's argument was stronger.
harrison smith
So just strictly on the debate last night, regardless of your personal stance, who do you think did better?
johnny in denmark
I think Bob did better, but he didn't win me over to his side of the issue.
harrison smith
Well, thank you.
Thank you for the call, Johnny.
Very detailed and wonderful analysis there.
I hope you do keep calling back.
I try to give other people a chance, Johnny.
We've got a lot of callers, and I know you're always a good guy to go to when you call in, but I do got to give other people a chance.
But I appreciate you calling in.
I hope you continue to do so.
Let's go to now.
Who do we have?
Emily in Florida.
Emily is first.
She was impressed with the debate and she found it very refreshing.
That's good to hear, Emily.
Thanks for calling in.
You're on the air.
unidentified
Hi, Harrison.
I know you don't have much time, so I'll be quick.
I just wanted to say that I just really enjoyed hearing both sides of an issue.
I just think that today everything gets shut down so quickly.
I'm a person that recently has switched from being crazy, from a libertarian kind of independent.
And then I was a Democrat for quite a while.
I was an Obama girl. - Right. - And then fairly recently, I was a big follower of Bernie Sanders.
And throughout this whole pandemic and this whole process, I've really switched my point of view on who's positive.
And I ended up voting for Trump. - Wow, okay.
harrison smith
I want to talk about this.
That's very interesting.
Walk us through your process, because I admit I'm the same.
I voted for Obama his first term, but by the time that term was over, I sort of had the wool pulled off my eyes and was like, wow, I fell for that.
I mean, I felt like I fell for rhetoric.
unidentified
I was still deep in it.
I was really still deep into everything.
The racial stuff.
My son is half black, half white.
Um, I was very much into racial equality, but I'm not into what's happening now.
Um, it's been a really big battle for me because I've lost a lot of friends.
Um, everybody is just shutting down conversations.
And I mean, I've been called a racist.
I've been told, I have good luck to your son, you know, because he's being raised by you, you know, a white woman.
Um, and this is going to somehow, affect him in a negative way, I guess.
But really, what I wanted to say about the debate, I have a couple other points I want to make.
But what I wanted to say is just it's so refreshing to hear both sides taken and people not just shut down and friendships not ended and everybody's going to work again today and they'll be able to...
That doesn't happen anymore.
And And I just I'd love seeing that.
I think that one of the points that I felt that wasn't brought up was that regardless of the position, there needs to be a position.
And that's what's not happening right now.
The U.S.
is flip-flopping.
They're confusing everyone.
And I think Biden's lack of taking a position entirely is what's causing a lot of this instability.
And regardless of who's right and who's wrong, not really us to say.
It's not our country.
It's not our position to say who's right and wrong, really, in my opinion.
harrison smith
But even that would be a solid position, wouldn't it, to say we should not be involved in this?
He can't even say that.
It's like, well, we're kind of involved, we're not involved, and we kind of support these people.
We're giving money to these people.
It's like, you're right.
It's all confusing and convoluted.
Emily, will you stay on?
at least brought um yes i will thank you yeah trump brought some assurity is that what you're getting some some like forthrightness yeah absolutely okay well we're gonna hold emily over because i think this is an important kind of merger of topics because this is about the open airing and open sharing and open debate of two opposing views and i like emily uh probably feel the same way where it's like now wait i haven't changed i still love ever i still want all the things that i wanted before but now i'm the bad guy we can't even talk about this anymore
it's about an open dialogue to get to the truth welcome back folks it's american journal we are taking your calls on the debate last night what you thought of it a lot of callers calling in to um say what they think and we'll we'll get to some other callers shortly but i want to take a little detour here because emily from florida has called in and there's so many different directions to go with this conversation i really just want to hear your experience emily because it's it's fascinating to me
and i think it's something a lot of our audience can relate to and and something that a lot of progressives sort of need to hear uh because i don't feel like i get a lot of empathy from my former friends who uh have suddenly become incredibly political and You know, growing up, I was always pretty political and I was always more conservative
Then my friends but then you know I saw Bohemian Grove from Alex Jones like when I was like in middle school and that sort of shattered the whole left-right paradigm for me but I bought into the rhetoric of Barack Obama because to be honest when Barack was running the first time he said a lot of the stuff that Donald Trump said same reason I voted for Donald Trump he wanted to end the wars I was, of course, excited to be a part of, you know, this symbolic ending of racial division in America, right?
Yeah, how will that go?
You know, all the other closing Guantanamo, stopping the foreign interference.
I mean, really, it was mostly about the anti-war stuff, but he had very good rhetoric.
I voted for him.
I fell for it.
I admit it.
I'm not ashamed.
It's a very hopeful time.
And then you found it all fell to dust.
It was all a lie.
So I realized that very quickly, but dang it, they got me.
I'm not going to fall for that again.
I'm be a little bit more discerning from now on and not just listen to the rhetoric and believe it.
And it was just it was just always interesting to me that I don't feel like my politics has really changed that much.
I still believe the things I always did, but everybody around me suddenly got very political and suddenly thought they knew everything.
And suddenly I was the stupid one, even though I'd been talking about this for years.
Anyways, I don't want to go on about my story.
I just think it's a fascinating and a shared experience.
A lot of us have.
Emily from Florida said she's sort of gone through the same thing, but fairly recently.
And I just want to know, Emily, like what Can you point to one or two particular things that you saw that made you start questioning things?
Like, how did you break out of the liberal bubble that you were probably in?
unidentified
Well, I've always been on the fence.
I mean, Alex has been on my radar for a very long time.
It's 20 years, maybe plus, back from when he was putting out these random scratchy videos.
Young guy, you know.
But I always question that.
The Sandy Hook thing kind of turned me from him in a way.
But I love him.
And I've always felt that regardless of his position, he was genuine.
And that's nothing that I've ever doubted.
But as far as politically, what really happened when I started to really question what was going on was when I was a big supporter of Bernie Sanders.
And I watched what they did to him with Hillary.
I watched him walk out of the White House with this look on his face.
And like, I'm really much more into watching people regardless of what they say.
And something happened to him that day.
I don't know, I just got a feeling something happened that day.
Remember when he said, you know, Hillary's got the nomination, I'm going to step to the side.
Do you remember this?
harrison smith
Yeah, well, I remember the convention, the Democrat convention, where Bernie Sanders was just sort of smoldering in his seat, just sitting there fuming while Hillary Clinton was up there waving at him from the stage, you know, accepting the nomination.
It was, I mean, that 2000...
The 2016 Democrat National Convention was very interesting to me in terms of the dynamic between Bernie and Hillary.
Yeah, I remember it well, Emily.
unidentified
This last time, he should have won.
It should have been him against Trump.
And I just, I don't know, I just have a feeling they did something.
They did something.
Because there's no way people picked Biden over Bernie.
There's just no way.
With the movement we're seeing right now, this is Bernie's movement.
harrison smith
Like, it just doesn't make any sense.
unidentified
Do you understand?
So that's when it hit me.
They are corrupt.
There is something going on they're not telling us.
You know?
And that made me say, you know what?
If this is a lie, what else is a lie?
What kind of a person really is Trump?
Because I have family members that were Trump voters and really loved Trump.
And I actually had my stepmother, she passed away last year.
Um, but she was actually a friend of his.
Well, you know, an acquaintance.
harrison smith
Yeah.
unidentified
You know, so she's like, no, he's a great guy.
And no, he's not a racist.
I mean, you know, and so I was always like, huh.
And so I just really started watching him, watching his speeches, watching everything he did, watching it from the White House platform.
And I started saying, being like, wait a second, this isn't what I've been looking at.
This isn't what people have been telling me has been going on.
Right.
And my eyes just really opened and the debate is such a wonderful thing because that is what this world is missing.
All the censorship.
People are scared to talk.
They're scared to express their views.
And because they do get shut down, I've lost all my friends pretty much.
I have a couple new conservative friends that I chat with.
I'm fine.
I have my family.
I'm good.
But I'm not going to change my views for that.
Some people will.
And like it shuts down the conversation.
I have a very good friend that I haven't been talking too much that I grew up with.
I called her yesterday.
How are you feeling?
I've been thinking about you a lot for some reason.
She says, Emily, you wouldn't even believe it.
And I said, what's going on?
And she says, I just got out of the hospital.
And I said, Are you kidding me?
I mean, she is healthy as can be marathon runner, like has always been the healthy girl of our of our group, you know, always went running in the morning, 10 miles.
Anyway, she says, Yeah, I just get out of the hospital.
I took the J and J shot.
And two weeks later, I ended up in the hospital with blood clots in my brain.
harrison smith
Oh, God.
unidentified
So like, this is the conversation that got shut down.
And she's like, You know, I was trying to send her things.
I was trying to say to her, like, you know, really use your best judgment on this.
This is scary.
harrison smith
Right.
unidentified
This is something you need to... And this is the conversation that's getting shut down, and now look at her.
She's on blood thinners, on bed rest, owns her own business, you know, has two daughters, young daughters, a husband.
Like, now, what is she gonna do?
harrison smith
That's amazing.
And did she say, you know, did she say, like, I should have listened to you?
Like, anything like that?
unidentified
You know, her first response was we were texting each other.
We didn't really, you know, um, and she says to me, are you an anti-vaxxer?
harrison smith
Right.
unidentified
And like, it hit me like a brick wall.
I'm like, I mean, I'm an anti like kill people for no reason.
Right.
Like, I don't understand what's going on, you know?
And like this, the conversations that aren't being had, these debates are so important because like, It could save her life, you know?
And she did say to me that she's gone to all 10 medical professionals around her.
She's been to two different hospitals.
She's been to her own doctor.
She's been to specialists.
They all say it's not connected to the vaccine.
They won't even allow the theory to even be looked at.
Won't even allow the theory to be looked at.
And so when she talked to me, she's like, I'm overwhelmed.
I need to take a nap now because I'm like, it's connected, Nancy.
You need to realize what's going on, you know?
Wow.
Yes.
It's wild.
It's wild what's going on, and there's so many of these stories.
I told it to another friend of mine.
She's like, oh yeah, I have a co-worker that, you know, dropped dead after his second shot.
Just literally went home and just died.
You know, I mean, like, and that's just one conversation I've had in one day.
harrison smith
Right.
unidentified
And I'm only one person.
And, like, none of this is going to get connected because look at her cases.
She is a healthy person, Harrison.
I mean, like, one of the most healthy people I've ever known in my life.
Right.
harrison smith
And they won't even...
They won't even entertain the idea that she was affected by the vaccine.
They just would rather assume that this very healthy marathon runner just suddenly developed blood clots, coincidentally, at the same time she got the J&J vaccine.
So yeah, we're not even getting the right information to be able to debate how we're supposed to get to truth at all if we can't even have the facts on the ground.
It's really incredible.
I'm glad that you have the fortitude, I guess, to Withstand the public pressure, the peer pressure that comes with daring to ask questions that are outside of the mainstream purview.
I mean, do you feel like it's taken a lot of strength on your part?
Or is it just, you're just like, look, I'm just looking at the facts and other people's reaction is not really incumbent on me.
That's how I feel.
I'm just like, look, I've always believed this stuff.
I've always known what's going on behind the scenes and I've always been aware of it and suspicious of Uh, official stories and that sort of stuff.
All my friends were totally cool with that before suddenly Donald Trump gets into office and they're the ones changing.
So I, I've never even really, really feel like it was, it was something that I had to contend with really, uh, you know, uh, aggressively or anything, because to me it was just like, look, they, those people are being brainwashed, I guess.
It's not my fault.
And you know, I'm not going to change my beliefs to serve them.
So what was that process or what's your reaction to their reaction been like Emily?
unidentified
I mean, it's been tough.
It's been tough, you know, because I've really tried.
I haven't been silent.
I haven't just sat there and listened.
I've tried to really open people's eyes.
icarus in wisconsin
Right.
unidentified
And I mean, it's been tough.
It's been really tough.
And like, I'm the same person.
I haven't changed.
harrison smith
Right.
unidentified
The things that I've always wanted, I still want.
I have not changed one bit.
But they have.
Do you understand?
Like, years ago, I mean, I've always fought for social justice.
My mother was a high school English teacher, won awards for helping in the community for Social justice and, I mean, always fought for rights.
I mean, I went to prep school, boarding school, liberal arts.
harrison smith
Right, and now you find the whole world going insane and you're still the same, but everybody's calling you a racist and a bigot and all this other horrible stuff.
unidentified
Right, exactly.
harrison smith
Man, it's so tough.
Well, congratulations on being strong enough to withstand it and upholding the truth, and I hope your friends take a lesson from you and learn from your example, Emily.
Thanks so much for the call.
alex jones
I'm in a very good positive mood because despite all the horrible things the globalists have done the last 16 months with their COVID takeover operation, humanity is really responding and waking up.
unidentified
You're watching The American Journal with your host Harrison Smith.
The Kidney.
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
harrison smith
Jamming here in the morning on American Journal, Infowars.com, Band.video, taking your phone calls about the debate that occurred yesterday, the great debate between Nick Fuentes and Robert Barnes.
It's a hot topic.
People are calling in.
They want to express themselves about it, and I'm excited to hear from you.
We're going to try to get to as many of your calls as possible in the next two hours.
So, let's start again, shall we?
Let's go to who's been on the longest.
John in Toronto has a comment about last night's debate.
Why Israel debate goes nowhere?
It does seem a little bit like a dog chasing its own tail, doesn't it?
It just doesn't ever seem to end.
What did you think about the debate last night, John?
unidentified
Oh, yeah, that's what I thought.
I mean, Zachariah says that in that day Jerusalem shall be a burdensome stone.
That whoever shall burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces.
So we know that, you know, the Bible is telling us that if you try and like work this thing out, God's going to be like, no, no, no, no.
The thing with Trump was he like took himself off of the gas pedal with the whole Middle East thing.
He wasn't pretending like he could fix it.
He just said, you know what, we're going to do whatever we can do.
And he did do a lot of good.
But for the, you know, like people seem to want to, We've got to focus all the problems into that area.
And it's true, it says every nation is turned against them.
So we've just got to pay attention to the fact that the Scripture is already giving us the answers and that there will be a resolution there.
But I want to warn people that there is a big danger in trying to say that, you know, Israel needs, or there's some sort of justification for pushing Israel out.
Israel would be judged by God.
They're the chosen people.
They're anointed by God.
Just like Saul, he wouldn't be judged by David.
David said, I won't judge him.
Not because he was a good person, but because he was anointed.
And we're not saying that Israel is a good nation.
They're corrupt.
They like to war.
They like to do this and that.
But we don't have the authority to say, They need to be wiped off and it says, is that correct, 14?
harrison smith
Yeah, I think you're making a good point in the fact that this entire debate gets so complicated by the fact that you have the religious aspects of it.
I mean, if this was just a conflict between two nation states with no religious overtones at all, it might be a little bit easier to See what's actually happening, right?
I mean, the religious stuff is almost like a veil in front of our eyes that makes it really difficult to just see it as it is on the ground as a geopolitical nation-state conflict.
unidentified
And I think that in itself is the proof that it can't be done because people are genuinely saying, you know, we want Muslims and Jews and everybody in that area to get along.
We can work out a deal.
We can work out a deal on almost anything.
But the proof is in the pudding that a deal has been worked out even when everything was offered to either side.
everything to make a deal.
harrison smith
Well, tell you what, tell you what, John, I appreciate your thoughts, but I want to move on quickly before you have to go to break to Charles in Atlanta, because he has a comment that's similar to yours, or at least in the same vein.
So thank you so much for the call, John, but I'm going to go to Charles in Atlanta.
Atlanta, who wants to talk about the biblical prophecy to the land and how that was sort of neglected in last night's debate.
What's your comment on this, Charles?
You're on the air.
charles in atlanta
Yes, it was interesting that I don't know whether Mr. Barnes and Nick agreed not to go there, but I was quite surprised, even Alex, I don't think, mentioned to what degree does a certain amount of political and other kind of mentioned to what degree does a certain amount of political and other kind of powers
Do they direct their policies based on the fact that, hey, we remember or we claim that we are due from a God this land?
So everything is going to be focused around that promise, whether they believe it or not, or whether they use it as an excuse.
You know, you never know.
But that being said, Pertaining to the debate, I was also surprised that as brilliant as, and I'll tell you, Robert Barnes is one of the most brilliant thinkers I've seen in my lifetime.
harrison smith
He truly is.
Sorry, Charles.
We're about to go to break.
I don't want you to get cut off in the middle of your sentence, so stay on the line, Charles.
We're going to let you finish your thought, but I'll echo what you just said.
Talking to Robert Barnes is one of the most intimidating things that can happen because he's so smart.
It's incredible.
unidentified
You're tuned in to the American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith.
Watch it live right now at band.video.
harrison smith
Taking your calls today about the great debate.
Charles from Atlanta is on the line.
Charles, one of our regular callers.
You haven't called in a while, Charles.
I've missed you.
You always have very good thoughts about what's going on around the world.
And you were just about to make a comment about Robert Barnes and Nick Fuentes.
And you said Robert Barnes is probably one of the smartest people you know.
And I'll tell you, just talking to him like, you know, he hasn't been in a while, but he used to be around InfoWars a lot.
And I'd see him in the hallways.
And just talking to that guy, you're like, oh, I'm in the presence of an intellectual superior here.
I do not.
I do not have the memory that this guy has, or the You know, I used to always joke because he would just he would come out with these rhetorical flourishes that were so well, well phrased.
And, you know, it's like I don't even have the words to describe the way that anyway, it's it's I was that's why I was so excited to See the debate last night because Nick Fuentes is kind of similar in a lot of ways.
You watch him, you go, holy crud, this kid is smart.
You talk to Robert Barnes, you go, my God, this guy is smart.
You put these two guys together.
It is just a cacophony of intelligence batting up against each other.
But Charles, thanks for calling in.
I want to let you finish your thought there and tell us what you thought about the debate last night.
charles in atlanta
Alright, and please note, in about maybe a few seconds I might have to holler out to the other room and tell the guy that's bringing a new washing machine in to come on in.
harrison smith
Alright, you working?
charles in atlanta
Out of all the weeks that this was happening, it would happen just when the call was picked up.
harrison smith
Alright, that's fine.
charles in atlanta
But no, I wonder overall, look, the lady before two calls back said, she said something, the debates that are not happening.
harrison smith
Right.
charles in atlanta
I could hear in her spirit that She's disappointed, troubled by the fact that we don't converse enough early enough in a true enough way to make things happen before we get caught up in something.
But I wonder whether humanity overall, or either we're just... There's something wrong with this, Harrison.
We just, in my mind, number one, have something in our genetics or our conditionings or social conditioning that causes us not to Take the highest view of an issue.
In other words, if you're in a country or in a city and you're debating how you want to split, you know, do whatever you want to do.
In my mind, way of thinking, like a mathematician or engineering, engineer building a 50 story building, you have to have precise measurements and techniques to do it correctly all the time.
But when we converse and think about problem solving, we don't do that.
One of the things I like to say is let's go to the highest level.
of the concept we're talking about.
Okay, if it's Israel-Palestine, then in that case you have to go back historically to where the divisions within those groups of people happen.
You also have to examine words, because when you say Jewish and when you say anti-Semitic, you know, when you really define those words correctly, it's not really what we're talking about.
unidentified
Right.
Right.
charles in atlanta
So, again, I'll just say this.
I could go on and on, but let me say it real quickly.
Human beings have to, we're at a point in our time, we're in such perilous times, we must insist when we open our mouths with each other.
The first thing that comes out of my mouth is, what is the purpose that I'm even talking to you, taking your time to address you for?
There has to be a purpose.
And on top of that, collectively, we need to have building, positive building purposes.
If we're just spreading our seed or just wasting our A time talking and doing, then we're going to be captured by those dark forces to see we're not focused.
harrison smith
Right.
charles in atlanta
In all of our conversations and thoughts, we must, okay, say, I open up the show, I open up this conversation with you, unless when we're going somewhere, we're doing something.
What's the purpose?
What are we trying to accomplish?
harrison smith
Right.
charles in atlanta
And make sure that that purpose has a balance of outcome.
I can't have like 50,000 billionaires and then 6 billion people living on poverty.
Humanity cannot survive that way.
So getting back to the debate, even though the debate was limited to Israel, And Palestine or that conflict.
I was really surprised that those two intellectual people did not at some point take the concept of the fight over there plus their debate and say, let's raise it up to a higher level and then work our way down.
Because again, if you don't do that, we're talking and shooting bullets in the dark and missing our target.
It's not having any effect.
And the debate was... I wish you all would have debates all the time.
Again, please tell Alex, this is the most wonderful thing you could do.
We need these long-form discussions.
That's another problem with communications in the modern world.
unidentified
Short-term.
charles in atlanta
Nothing is long-form enough, yeah.
harrison smith
Yeah, yeah, man.
charles in atlanta
But no, we gotta take it high and have a purpose that... Look, I know you gotta go.
If our efforts are not to assure that the bulk of humanity can be increased in their Livelihood, welfare, well-being, while they live and are manifested in this world.
Then what is the point?
If we're not really trying to go after that, we're going to allow even ourselves with our best intentions to short each other.
We have to say collectively we're a family.
Do our cells fight against each other?
Do our organs?
We want our body functions to work together in harmony to give us the best health.
So as a human species, we must insist, we must have a concept that we must relate like they're countries.
Look, there needs to be a conversation on why good countries don't get together and not blow China off the map.
But why are we insisting on such wickedness and dehumanization to exist while we're okay here, maybe?
But a cancer or a problem that's there, You know how something in fruit, if you don't cut it out, it'll come and eat the whole fruit.
It'll leaven the whole loaf.
So there's something wrong with our perspective on how we pursue our day-to-day activities.
We're not really saying, let's be perfect.
Let's be as full and as powerful as a species as we can in a positive way, because we're always allowing Like the election, like 9-11, like who killed Kennedy.
We just get satisfied with never having these problems solved.
There's something wrong with us, Harris.
harrison smith
Yeah, yeah.
Man, I really appreciate your call, Charles, and you always bring a new level of wisdom and something that...
I really try to do here because I have the same conversation exactly all the questions that you're asking Charles are the issues you're raising exactly what I try to force myself to remember every time I do a show like there are things that just make me mad and I can just come up here and just yell about how mad they make me but I do try to ask myself okay what is the point of covering this Could I cover something else that would be more important to people's lives?
Or is it just about me getting my anger out, you know, this morning?
So I try to take into account, okay, what is the goal here?
The goal of InfoWars is not to demonize anybody.
It's not even necessarily like look, make people look dumb or anything.
So I try to, I try to keep it in mind whenever I am doing something like that.
If I am just raging at something like probably later in this episode, I'm going to be raging against Stephen Colbert of all people, right?
Late night host, you know, might seem sort of petty and ridiculous, but hopefully, I'll do so in a greater view of illustrating the vitriol and the anger that's present in the modern media landscape and the way this is actually dangerous because it leads to real violence and hopefully put it in a larger perspective and take that bird's eye view.
It's what I'm always trying to do here and I appreciate the way that you phrase all that, Charles, because It's very eloquent the way that you put it all together.
Maybe more eloquent than I can get out, although I do try to manifest it.
But then, of course, the other point that you talk about, the definitions, the getting back to the basics, the foundational aspects of debate.
I mean, that goes back to some of the oldest debates on record.
You read Socrates, Plato.
Have entire dialogues where they're just trying to get to the definition of a single word.
What is justice?
They'll go on and on and back and forth and by the end they figure out they don't have any idea what justice is.
Maybe that's not the most productive conversation.
I think about it all the time because you hear words like social justice, racial justice, food justice, climate justice.
And it's like, what does any of this mean?
First, we have to define what justice means.
And then you understand all of this prefix justice, right, the social justice, it's not really justice.
It's a co-opting of that word.
And so what we're talking about isn't justice at all.
And so if we lose that Foundational definition, then all of our conversation is hot air.
It's nothing.
It's worthless.
And so I think that's a very good point.
And then the other point I wanted to highlight that you made is that, you know, so often We do, as humans, just, like, we're very good, as you put it, like, we can build a 50-foot skyscraper.
The precision that's necessary, the intricacy, the communication that's necessary to achieve that is incredible, and humans can do it, and we're very capable of doing that.
We're probably the only animal that's capable of really changing our minds, of learning something and then reforming how we perceive it in order to match our perception with reality.
I mean, that's what humans are good at, but then the ego comes in.
Then the pride comes in.
Then you're presented with information that's counter to your perspective, and you reject that information rather than change your perspective to take that information in.
I think that is a major problem with humanity, I guess.
And I think at the end of the day, it's about ego and pride.
the same way in the conversation we were having with Emily earlier.
It's like I could have kept being a liberal thinking I was right.
unidentified
Welcome back, folks, to American Journal Infowars.com.
harrison smith
I have a lot of stories to cover today that I'll make sure to get to.
We're going to talk about Mackenzie Kelly, the city councilwoman from Austin who's been accosted by homeless armed agitators every time she leaves City Hall.
We're going to talk about Rand Paul and Stephen Colbert.
We're going to talk about this Facebook report.
Saying that the U.S.
is a top target for foreign and domestic influence operations.
Oh, very scary stuff.
Very scary.
Foreign powers meddling in our elections?
Shocking.
We'll definitely get to that.
And then I want to talk a little bit about Marjorie Taylor Greene as well.
But the calls have been so good today that I want to keep going back to the calls and people keep calling in.
They want to talk about this debate, the great debate last night between Nick Fuentes and Robert Barnes.
Real quickly, I was just reading this article.
It's just what a crazy, crazy world we live in.
Crazy, crazy world.
Hitler quote attributed to George Floyd by student in high school yearbook.
A high school yearbook is being recalled after it emerged a student used a quote from Adolf Hitler and falsely attributed it to George Floyd.
That's called a prank.
That's a little prank.
That's a little bit of a prank there.
In high school, my friends were in charge of putting together a music CD for the yearbook because their graduating class had a bunch of bands in it.
So they wanted to put together a CD, and they would give a CD out with all of the yearbooks.
Probably blowing the lid off some stuff here, but my friends made songs that were about smoking weed secretly.
They'd use code words to talk about it.
In one song, they literally recorded themselves saying creepy stuff and then put it in reverse so if anybody played it backwards, they would hear creepy messages.
It's a prank.
It's kind of what yearbooks are for in a lot of ways.
It doesn't mean you actually worship Satan because you're...
You know, making fun of the satanic panic where people would spin Led Zeppelin records backward and be like, PRAISE SATAN!
Like, they just, they actually did that because they thought it was funny.
Doesn't mean they're actually Satanists, right?
It's a prank.
It's what high schoolers do.
Nancy Bean, principal of Glastonbury High School in Connecticut, wrote in a letter to parents and guardians that a student used a false name and submitted a quote from the Nazi leader but said it was from the black man who was murdered by former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin last May.
The quote was this, quote, it is a quite special secret pleasure how the people around us fail to realize what is really happening to them.
It was kind of a meta joke, right?
The quote is about how people don't realize what's going on.
They're hoping that you don't realize that it's a quote from Hitler, but attributed to George Floyd.
Not a particularly outrageous quote, in my opinion.
It's quite special.
It's a quite special secret pleasure how the people around us fail to realize what's really happening to them.
I don't know how you even find out that that's a Hitler quote, or what that has to do with anything, but the school has now suspended yearbook distribution and has asked for those who have their yearbooks to return them.
The principal, Bean, who did not describe the quote or name of the student involved, also confirmed that police have been called to investigate the incident.
And that's really the reason I wanted to cover this story, because what type of world do we live in?
Where somebody submitting a prank quote to the yearbook under a false name, by the way.
I don't even know how it could have gotten printed if it was under a false name.
That doesn't make any sense to me.
But what type of world do we live in where a yearbook prank submitting a quote from some villain of history as if it was George Floyd?
Police get called?
The police get called?
Are you gonna send this kid to jail for quoting Hitler?
I mean, what the hell?
This is incredibly strange.
A disturbing incident came to our attention today.
An inappropriate quote was submitted by a student using a false name and was published in this year's yearbook.
Going forward, we will review the process used for students to submit quotes from the yearbook.
We are saddened and distressed at what happens.
Acts of bias, bullying, and cruelty are not acceptable at our school.
we are committing to ensuring all Glastonbury high school students feel safe and supported.
unidentified
It's like, what?
harrison smith
A statement on Facebook, a group called Black in Glastonbury described the Hitler quote appearing in the yearbook as horrible yet not all that shocking.
Every Every time an incident involving racism, transphobia, misogyny, or anti-Semitism happens in Glastonbury, school leadership responds as if it was an isolated incident instead of a systemic issue.
It's a systemic issue, is it?
Systemic?
Some high schooler pranked the yearbook staff?
You're calling the police and having a meltdown?
It's just, what do you even say about this?
Glastonbury needs to wake up, call white supremacy by its name, and start taking justice seriously!
It was a prank, bro.
It was a Hitler quote contributed to George Floyd.
That is inherently funny.
That is a funny prank!
I'm not gonna lie.
That's pretty funny.
But no, it's just, this is, this is just, you know, now we need anti-bias education, holocaust education, according to David Warren.
Whenever an incident of bigotry or bias occurs, it's important for the institution to respond, but also for good people to stand up and speak out.
Okay.
Alright.
I hope you're okay.
I hope you're able to recover from this.
I hope this high school prank, quoting a rather vague and pointless quote to George Floyd, I hope you recover from this.
I hope this doesn't lead to a second Holocaust.
It's just, it's just incredible.
It's just incredible.
And you just try to put your, you know, put it in other, in other things.
Like, you know, if some kid had put a Joseph Stalin quote, you know, and attributed it to Ashley Babbitt, it's like, okay.
Okay?
Who cares?
Who cares?
It's just like, these attacks, these attacks, we must have more education!
We must have an entire board appointed!
We must get to the bottom of this!
Call the police!
Call the constables!
Get the military in here!
It was a yearbook prank, my god!
We cannot let this stand!
Okay.
unidentified
Alright.
harrison smith
Calm down, folks.
Calm down.
unidentified
It's a yearbook.
harrison smith
Incredible.
Let's go back to the phone calls.
Greg in Arizona has a suggestion for the next debate.
Thanks for calling in Greg.
You were on the air.
We got about two minutes left in this segment.
unidentified
Yeah, I think we should have a debate about who we're going to have for our president 2024 on the Republican side because today Trump's going on Newsmax and he's going to talk about the vaccine and promote how the vaccine is such a good thing and You know, the vaccine is actually the single worst thing because if we take the vaccine and we get sick, it's going to be real hard to have a movement to take our country back.
harrison smith
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, it's, uh, it's hard to explain.
unidentified
It's hard to explain what a. Well, it's easy to explain.
He's not with us because anyone with any sense, especially, you know, Barron's got issues and I can imagine where the issues came from and still he supports vaccines.
So he is not the guy for 2024.
I think it's got to be either General Flynn or Alex should throw his hat in the ring and run himself.
harrison smith
That would be awesome.
That would be really great.
Yeah, the next debate on InfoWars will just be a presidential debate, and it'll be Alex Jones versus his opponent.
Yeah, that's an interesting topic to debate, definitely one that needs a lot of consideration.
I would maybe want to expand it out a little bit, and maybe the next debate would be something like the future direction of the Republican Party as a whole, whether it's America first or more of the typical, you know, Conservative standpoint, I think there's a lot of division on the right side from that, although I think one side is just the corporate propped up side, and the other side is actually the ground roots side that has support.
But maybe that'd be a good topic, and that would relate to what you're talking about, who's going to be the next Republican nominee, because we need to define what our party's all about right now so we can field the proper candidate in the future.
unidentified
You're tuned in to the American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith.
harrison smith
I gotta cover some of these stories, but I also gotta take your calls.
What do I do?
I'm definitely gonna take your calls this segment, and then maybe we'll move on to some other topics here.
I really am excited to talk about this Facebook report about foreign and domestic influence operations.
Hope you're ready to have your head melt from the sheer hypocritical nonsense that I'll cover when I get to that story.
I'll save it.
I'll save it.
I'll save it because we've got people waiting on the line.
I don't want to make them hold any longer.
They've called in.
They want to talk about the debate that occurred last night, the great debate between Robert Barnes and Nick Fuentes.
Nick from Florida says that Barnes won the debate on facts, but that the whole conflict is just a diversion.
Thanks for calling in, Nick.
You are on the air.
unidentified
Hey, Mr. Harrison.
Alright, so the way I saw it was Basically, when Joe Biden came into office, I feel like they were super war hungry because Trump had been keeping us out of the conflicts in the Middle East for so long.
harrison smith
Oh yeah, you had a military convoy rolling into Syria like the day after he was inaugurated.
unidentified
Exactly.
So what I was thinking was the people were so against that and they had seen that Trump hadn't got us into any conflicts.
In the last four years, so they knew they couldn't come right out and get us into another war right off the rip, at least in front of all of us to see.
So with them being aligned with Israel in the way that they are, I feel like this whole thing was just basically a giant diversion to get us off the off the topic of looking at how bad the Biden administration actually is and what's actually going on.
I'd also want to say that I feel like Like you had alluded to earlier, Barnes had won, like, on the facts and the statistics.
He's a super smart guy, sharp as a tack.
And one point during the debate with Fuentes, I thought it was really funny.
He kind of set him up for the kill.
And I loved how InfoWars fearlessly is leading the charge in the debate on the forbidden topics and answering honestly, because what he did was This was pretty cool.
In most debates, most people would have shied away from the particular question, which was, he said, now, if Israel was wiped off the map, would that make the United States better or would it make it worse?
Basically, in those words.
And Fuentes answered, it wouldn't, or would it have any effect on the United States, negatively or positively?
And Fuentes said, Without hesitation, no, there wouldn't be any effect.
And I thought that was really fearless.
I feel like Fuentes is more in line with the young American Resistance Army.
From what I've been seeing, the younger generation is being naturally turned away.
Children always want to rebel against what the elders are telling them, if there's no real reason for them to tell it.
So the children or the youth basically is being basically turned away from the mainstream narrative that we need to invest all this money into Israel and Israel this and Israel that.
And I just feel like Fuentes won the overall theme and the overall big picture.
harrison smith
Yeah, it's a subtle take and I think it's a correct one that, yeah, I think Nick does represent sort of a younger zeitgeist that grew up Where, you know, their whole lives we've been in war, in Iraq, in Afghanistan, for no reason.
I mean, they, I don't even know, I doubt Nick Fuentes even remembers 9-11.
I mean, I hardly remember, that's how young I was, and Nick is significantly younger than me.
So, you grow up your whole life with these foreign wars that seem utterly pointless and nonsensical.
Meanwhile, your country is totally collapsing, your country is burning up, your country is, you know, on the cusp of civil war, and yet all the debate time is taken up with Israel and Gaza and in the Middle East is like we're sick of it.
We just we're sick of that We need to deal with our problems at home, and we need to stop sending money to Players overseas that just cause more problem.
Just keep it here.
Solve our problems.
Stop meddling around the world.
I think that's a sentiment that a lot of younger people feel, and I think you're right, and I appreciate your take on that.
And I think a lot of people feel just like you did.
It's hard to say who won the debate because facts are on one side, facts are on the other, but you look at it in a big picture, maybe you get a different perspective.
It's a very interesting topic, and I am so glad that InfoWars is leading the way on actually opening these discussions and having substantial debates.
Same old academics.
talking points, yelling at each other.
Very, very amazing.
Let's go to who is next.
William in Arkansas has a veteran's perspective on the Middle East.
Thank you for calling in, William.
You are on the air.
william in arkansas
This is the same old argument, same old academics.
I'm wanting a real reason, not an excuse of why I should spend one dime, one moment of my time, my resources for any other human being.
My time is my time.
Your time is your time.
Now, I can tell you what I do because it's my principles and my faith and all this, but you talk about Israel and the mess that's been over there for thousands of years.
You know, it goes back to what?
King Saul, the prophet Samuel, King David.
The state of Israel, right, is not the 12 tribes of Israel.
harrison smith
Right.
william in arkansas
Our cousins over there, ...are from Abraham, Sarah, Rachel, the whole deal, right?
We don't have to get into the academics of it.
It's the same repeated mess of who this, that, and whatever, whatever, right?
Beavis and Butthead, right, and Forrest Gump know the answer to our situation in this world today by working men and women, and it's any means necessary, right?
How does the virus survive and mutate?
Any means necessary.
What does Fauci and Silicon Pelosi do to attain their agenda?
Anything necessary.
Right.
All the verbiage from the lawyers and the brilliant minds from Harvard and Yale and Princeton and Oxford and Berkeley and wherever could be eaten.
What a place that is, an 800-year-old institution that has manipulated centuries All right.
finances and people and other educational institutions.
But yet the average idiot out there doesn't want to listen.
Any means necessary is where we're at today.
So please give me a real reason, not a bunch of dialogue of left and right debate, the same garbage we've heard for centuries.
Because as you just stated, we're sitting here losing our own nation.
I'm in a good situation.
Everything I've got is paid for.
I've got three pawns.
harrison smith
Yeah, but you make a great point.
Our country is collapsing.
You're right.
A single life is invaluable, right?
It's worth more than any treasure in the world.
To this day, people are dying in the Middle East.
Young men, men my age, going to the Middle East and dying.
And you have to ask, for what?
What are they dying for?
What is worth the cost that we are paying?
Why are we even over there?
It makes no sense at all.
And you can't just say, yeah, well, 200 people died this year and blah, blah, blah.
It's like, OK, that's 200 lives snuffed out.
I mean, that's a tragedy.
And you have to ask the question, is it worth it?
And we don't need, as William points out, intellectual pontificating about this.
What's the real reason?
Why are we there?
If you can't give us a straight reason, we're out.
Fantastic stuff.
Let's go quickly to Jefferson in Virginia, who thought the debate was like a Gordian Knot.
Gordian Knot?
It's not that Alexander the Great.
Untied with his sword.
Cut it in half.
Thanks for calling, Jefferson.
You're on the air.
jefferson in virginia
Hey, good morning, Harrison.
Thanks for taking my call.
harrison smith
Sure.
jefferson in virginia
One minute.
The whole thing is just supposed to be a flashpoint.
So long as Islam is mistaken for a real religion, this thing will never resolve itself.
It's a provocation that's just going to go on forever, and the Balfour Proclamation cemented it.
But I don't want to talk about Israel.
I want to challenge Robert Barnes to a debate.
I want to debate whether Kamala Harris is a natural-born citizen or not.
Nobody wants to have this conversation.
harrison smith
That's interesting.
That would be a good topic for the debate, whether she's a natural-born citizen.
I know you've aired your concerns on this program before, saying that because she was not born to American parents, she's not a natural-born citizen, and so therefore is not a legitimate vice president.
But I'll tell you what.
Jefferson, nothing about this presidency is legitimate.
Biden's not a legitimate president.
Kamala's not a legitimate president.
It's not about legitimacy.
It's about, as William from Arkansas just said, any means necessary.
It's about manipulation, domination, and taking control through force and manipulation.
And laws be damned, they do what they want every single time.
and conservatives need to take a lesson from that.
unidentified
Welcome back, folks.
harrison smith
We'll go back to your calls in just a moment, but first I want to cover one of the main stories in the news today.
It is a report by Facebook about their foreign and domestic influence operations.
United States topped a list of countries most frequently targeted by deceptive foreign influence operations using Facebook between 2017 and 2020, the social media company said in a new report released on Wednesday.
The tallies were based on a number of, quote, coordinated inauthentic behavior networks removed by Facebook, a term it uses for a type of influence operation that relies on fake accounts to mislead users and manipulate the public data for strategic ends.
What to say about this?
Tell you what, first we'll watch a little video report on it and then we'll break down just how little of this report you can trust at all and just how glaringly obvious some of their omissions truly are.
First, here's a brief report on the newest investigation by Facebook.
unidentified
This morning, Facebook releases its first-ever threat report on efforts to spread political misinformation on its platform.
The company removed more than 150 so-called influence operations after criticism that it failed to block Russian interference back in 2016.
Senior investigative correspondent Catherine Herod spoke exclusively with Facebook about the findings.
Catherine, good morning to you.
What's the big takeaway here?
Well, Gail, the nearly 40-page report reviewed by CBS News found a growing number of groups right here at home manipulating information for political and financial gain.
Facebook also stresses the problem is very real in other countries.
Leading up to the 2020 campaigns, Facebook investigators found election meddling by traditional adversaries like Russia and Iran was compounded by new efforts to distort the facts.
That was actually one of the big surprises.
Nathaniel Gleicher is Facebook's head of security policy.
Domestic manipulation and foreign interference are both serious challenges and you have to tackle them both at the same time.
It's not just U.S.
elections.
According to the report, Facebook has identified influence operations that came from over 50 countries in 30 languages on every continent except Antarctica.
In the United States, we see these types of activities linked to marketing firms, linked to sort of political actors, and linked to fringe groups or conspiracy theory groups.
What does domestic interference look like?
Imagine a PR firm or a marketing firm that hires a thousand people in the United States to use their social media accounts or maybe create fake social media accounts to advocate for particular issues or on behalf of a particular candidate.
Gleiser said Facebook started identifying and taking down such operations in 2017.
Among the threats Facebook observed were so-called perception hacks designed to undermine voter confidence.
One of the key claims we see people make is that they've hacked election systems.
These are simply people playing on the fear that that might have happened.
They're trying to weaponize uncertainty and weaponize our own fears.
For a layperson, it's hard to know what's real, what's trustworthy.
What would you say to them?
Ask who's reporting it.
Who's behind it?
How much do you know about them?
And can you get some of that additional context?
And the report predicts more targeted attacks in the future, exploiting political divisions, because these influence operations capitalize on fear and uncertainty.
The Facebook report comes as President Biden is set to meet middle of next month with the Russian President Vladimir Putin.
harrison smith
Very interesting report, isn't it?
Thank goodness the fine, upstanding, honorable folks at Facebook are looking out for our best interest.
But are they?
But are they?
I mean, we have a huge number of pieces of information that shows that what Facebook is involved in has nothing to do with anything that they're claiming it has to do with.
Foreign election interference, right?
They're very concerned about foreign election interference, and yet the Oversight Board is populated by foreigners.
That's kind of strange.
The people deciding who is and is not allowed on Facebook are themselves, not just foreigners, but actually members of foreign governments?
Yeah, that's a little strange.
You think they'd want to talk a little bit more about that?
That's really incredible.
So you have them saying that they are manipulating information.
What does that mean?
Are they lies?
Are they falsifying information?
Or is it true information that portrays a reality that you would rather obscure and hide and bear it?
Because literally yesterday, Project Veritas published the internal documents that said, with no uncertain terms, that Facebook is removing information even if it's true.
As long as it might cause people to hesitate in getting a vaccine.
100% factual information, but they'll still remove it because it goes against what they want people to think.
You think it's any different with politics?
You think it's even slightly different with politics?
I mean, the things that they accuse of using Facebook to manipulate to Influence the election are things like fringe political actors, PR consulting firms, media websites, conspiracy theorists.
Literally what they're saying is if you advocate politically against Facebook's particular stance, you are an influence operation, you will be removed.
They're blaming it on things like Russia and China, and it's amazing.
They're like, these people are trying to play on our fears.
Kind of like how you're playing on the fear of China and Russia, so that the American people clamor for censorship, because you've propped up Russia as a big bad enemy of ours, and now you're using that fear that you've generated in people to get them to allow you to censor the internet on your own behalf?
Russia, followed by Iran, topped the list for sources of coordinated inauthentic behavior, and this was mostly rooted in foreign interference.
Top target of foreign operations include Ukraine, United Kingdom, Libya, and Sudan.
Then that guy talks, he's like, you know, when we're talking about, you know, influence operations, what you're talking about is people being paid to make fake accounts and manipulate information.
Where do you think George Soros' 18 billion dollars went?
What do you think the very existence of media outlets like Vox and Vice News consists of?
They don't make any money.
They're pumped full of money by the hundreds of millions of dollars by leftist activists, and then they put out leftist material.
I mean, there are literally legions.
There's entire arms of military Let's talk about who's really behind the Facebook censorship.
all day every day is get on Facebook and other social media and manipulate things.
And it ain't Russia.
Let's talk about who's really behind the Facebook censorship.
You may remember a woman by the name of Pamela Carlin.
She is the self-described snarky bisexual Jewish woman who testified before the House Judiciary Committee regarding the constitutional grounds for the presidential impeachment during during the impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump.
She goes and gives testimony against Donald Trump in the first impeachment.
Ukrainian impeachment.
Hardcore leftist activist attempts to break down the presidency and destroy the presidency of her Republican enemy.
Well, on May 6, 2020, Facebook appointed her to its content oversight board.
She's one of the ones deciding, oh, but that's not an influence campaign.
No, no, you give control of censorship over to left-wing activists.
But that's not, that's not influence.
No, they're the good guys looking out for the real bad.
And what about Noah Feldman?
Noah Feldman was also one of the people who gave testimony during the impeachment hearing against President Trump.
Feldman also advised Facebook on the creation of the Facebook Oversight Board.
According to Feldman, the purpose of the Oversight Board is to protect and ensure freedom of expression on the platform by creating an independent body to review Facebook's most important content moderation decisions.
What about Jeff Zientes?
A former Facebook board member who is now the coronavirus czar in Joe Biden's White House.
He's worth $90 million.
Used to be a board member of Facebook and is now in the Biden administration.
Certainly no conflict of interest there.
Another board member is an advisor to Facebook and two others in the administration.
One was a Facebook director and another was a company lobbyist.
They've taken leadership roles in the Biden administration.
Nick Clegg was once a serious politician, now doubles as Mark Zuckerberg's bag man and representative on earth.
He is now in the Biden administration.
So the Biden administration is absolutely full of current, former, and future Facebook oversight board members.
Oh, but Facebook's very concerned about political influence.
There are operations going on.
They're literally in the Biden administration.
But it gets worse, folks.
Stay tuned.
unidentified
When I get up... You're listening to the American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith.
Watch it live right now at band.video.
Welcome back, folks.
harrison smith
Third hour has begun.
We'll go out to your phone calls very shortly.
I just want to continue to cover this story, U.S.
A top target for foreign and domestic influence operations has a new Facebook report.
It's the first report of its kind from Facebook.
They say that there's a number of coordinated inauthentic behavior networks that they have removed from their website.
They say this is all about manipulating information.
They're trying to stop people from manipulating information.
They're blaming this manipulation on things like Russia and Iran when also revealing that really who they're Targeting are conspiracy theorists, fringe political actors, PR or consulting firms, and media websites.
In other words, news outlets and investigators reporting on things that Facebook would rather not have them see.
Now, Facebook coming out and openly censoring the American people based on their own ideology might not go over so well, although what couldn't they get away with now?
They've literally deleted the President of the United States, Donald Trump.
What else could they do that would make people actually wake up and stand up?
But, if they were, just to come out and say, look, we are left-leaning, we are liberal, and anybody posting anything counter to that will be removed and deranked and eliminated, might make some people a little bit angry, might get some conservatives to leave the website.
So instead they say, this is Russia and China interfering, they're foreign nations, don't you love America?
Let us censor you.
Very insidious sort of way of doing things, but of course, Facebook is intimately involved in the Biden administration and the entire left-wing establishment.
We have Jeff Zients, a former Facebook board member that was chair of Biden's transition team and is now his coronavirus czar.
He's worth $89 million and he served on Facebook's board of directors and now he's in the Biden administration, a very important role to others.
Another former board member is an advisor to President Biden and two others.
One was a Facebook director, another was a company lobbyist, have, according to Politico, taken leadership roles.
And then, of course, you have Nick Clegg, who is now in the administration.
So you have, on one hand, you have conspiracy theorists like us here at InfoWars.
You have people who are dissidents or As they put it, what do they say, fringe political actors, in other words people without the support of the establishment, trying to get information out, trying to communicate on one of the world's largest internet platforms, and they're being called They're being called an influence network.
They're being told, you're manipulating information.
Yeah, the information may be true, Facebook's come out and said, yeah, the information might be true, but if it makes people think something we don't want them to think, then we're going to eliminate it.
They've said that about vaccines, and that's a life or death situation.
You don't think they'll make those same types of decisions when it comes to politics?
Of course they will.
But of course they, it's Russia, it's Russia, it's Iran, it's Russia, it's Iran, you need to let us censor.
So they're very concerned about foreign interference.
Oh, Facebook just loves America, don't they?
Of course, you have the Facebook Oversight Board with Pamela Carlin, a woman who testified against President Trump during the first impeachment.
Facebook appointed her to the Content Oversight Board, as well as Noah Feldman.
Noah Feldman advised Facebook on the creation of the Facebook Oversight Board.
He was also an anti-Trump impeachment witness.
No conflict of interest there, right?
I'm sure Rand Paul and Thomas Massey are also on the Facebook oversight board, right?
No, of course not.
So on one side you have independent people spreading true news.
They're being called influence networks, manipulators, and they're being eliminated by the people in power.
Far leftist activists and people in the Biden administration who want to eliminate dissident information being available on Facebook.
But here's the most amazing thing of it.
From Horetz.com, Facebook needs to grow up and interview with Oversight Board's top Israeli.
The former Director General of Israel's Justice Ministry, Emmy Palmore, is the most senior Israeli on Facebook's Oversight Board.
In an interview, she explains why she believes the board can play a positive role and urges Facebook to take more responsibility.
That's right, folks.
Facebook is so concerned with foreign interference in American elections that they have put Israel's former Justice Minister on the Content Oversight Board.
Last time I checked, Israel is a foreign power.
Why don't you go ahead and put Russia's foreign minister on your board while you're at it.
unidentified
You're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith.
Watch it live right now at band.video.
Hey, welcome back, folks.
harrison smith
We got to your phone calls once again.
A lot of people wanting to talk about the debate last night, the great debate between Nick Fuentes and Robert Barnes.
There's a lot of people on both sides of the aisle.
A lot of people were happy about it.
Some people weren't, though, and we'll hear from some of them as well.
Open forum here on American Journal, InfoWars, band.video.
Hope that you share these links, share this information, and go to InfoWars store to support everything that we do here.
Now let's go out to the phone lines.
Wild in Wisconsin has an interesting question.
What would Jesus do for Israel and Palestine?
Good question, Wild.
What do you think about that?
You're on the air.
icarus in wisconsin
Yeah, I was listening to the debate and can't help but wonder while I wander what Jesus would do about Israel-Palestine and the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Like, didn't the Jews curse themselves in holy court?
and their children by murdering Jesus, and also nobody focuses on the Jesus's miracle of destruction, the dry and dying of the fig tree with its leafy branches that yield no fruit, dried at the roots.
I'm just one guy and not a biblical scholar, but I see the miracle of destruction as also a kind of like a critique of ancient government, Israel branches of government, and a prediction of the future because The city did burn later in Temple Fall.
harrison smith
Right.
Right, isn't that one of the most amazing- that's one of the most amazing things, is like, you have this temple that stood for thousands of years, and then this Jesus guy comes along and he's like, yeah, it's about to be torn down.
Like, you wouldn't believe him, would you?
I mean, it's been there for thousands of years, and what, just could you say it's gonna get torn down, it's gonna get torn- like, you're crazy, get out of here.
And then it's like, within 50 years, the temple is destroyed, completely dismantled, they didn't leave one stone on top of the other, according to the ancient accounts.
So, it's like, Maybe that Jesus guy was on to something, guys.
Maybe he knew what he was talking about.
I think he said something along the lines of, leave your house unto you desolate.
So, yeah, I don't know what Jesus would do for Israel and Palestine.
icarus in wisconsin
Isn't that kind of, though, proof of, you know, his God power?
Because, you know, being all-knowing, obviously, you know, and not only that, but he said figs wouldn't be popular.
Who do you know, Harrison, that eat fig nowadays?
See Alex Jones munching a bunch of figs?
And figs aren't popular because they have insects inside of them, most of them.
And insects have obviously incest a lot, especially fig wasps.
And eating insects, you know, can transfer that sexual energy.
And that's why, you know, I also think there's that weird, creepy incest bush going on.
And like I was saying before, you know, that type of all-knowing, you know, how could you know that and be so dead on?
And like you said, no one listens.
No one, no one listens.
It's like the buffalo off the cliff.
You know, I don't know if you've been to the Milwaukee Public Museum before, but they have this great exhibit of all these buffalo going off the cliff.
And there's an Indian making them go, I love Indians, but there's an Indian making all the buffalo go off the cliff.
And if we're one of the buffaloes, how are we going to get all the other buffalo not to jump off the cliff?
harrison smith
Right.
icarus in wisconsin
And obviously the Indians, the devil.
So, you know, we can try, we can, you know, what are we going to do?
We try telling them, are we trying to do jokes here to distract them?
Yeah, that's a good point.
harrison smith
Wild, thanks so much for the call.
You are what you eat, I guess.
And I don't want to be a bug, so I'm going to leave the figs alone.
But yeah, it's very interesting stuff.
Let's go to, who do we have?
Don in Florida.
Let's go to Terry in Minnesota first.
Terry's actually critical of the debate.
She didn't enjoy it, but that's all right.
You don't need to agree to us to have a voice on InfoWars.
In fact, I wish more people who disagreed with us would call.
Put a little contention on here, a little excitement.
But I'm not saying it's going to be contentious with Terry.
Maybe we'll have a great conversation.
Thanks for calling in, Terry.
You were on the air.
terry in minnesota
Yeah.
Hey, how you doing, Harrison?
harrison smith
Pretty good.
Thank you.
terry in minnesota
And congratulations, by the way, on your firstborn.
harrison smith
Thank you.
terry in minnesota
I'm going to make a statement.
Everything I say after this statement is going to go back to the statement, quote, my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, Hosea 4, 6.
You can tie that together with Proverbs 1, 7.
Here's the problem with the debate.
Not only is Alex, you know, we're not and I'm not talking down on a human level here.
These are good people.
Everyone's, you know, got good in them, whatever.
But Israel, and Judah are two separate nations, Ezekiel 37.
Right.
The Kinnites, and I've called you before, I told you guys, you know, use a standard King James, A.V., authorized, track down the scriptures.
The Kinnites have been, who claim to be Jews and are not, and do lie, and are the synagogue of Satan, are Satan's offspring.
They have brought on our brothers and sisters, True Judah, the True Tribe of Judah, for centuries.
As you know, as Alex knows, if you're not biblically illiterate, most are, this world was given to Satan by God, okay, for a purpose.
And everything down here is run by Satan's offspring, which are the Kinnaiters, And like I said, you can track that down on Matthew 13, 34 through 43 and a whole bunch of other scriptures.
I'm not going to start quoting scriptures here.
That's not the point of the conversation.
As far as the debate goes, Israel, Over there is basically what this guy just talked about.
The last caller, the good and the bad big.
That's Jeremiah.
Twenty four have been over there.
And right from right from Babylon, right in the beginning, Nimro, Genesis, Medo through Medo Persia, Alexander with Greece, Caesar with Rome.
And the Mohammedan kingdom that started in 636 A.D., up until 1948, key figure you guys talked about last night, or they did, when Israel, 1948, May of 1948, once again became a country, a kingdom, a nation.
And the reason why this world is upside down, God, through Jesus Christ, said, learn that parable of the fig tree.
That wasn't some flippant command by just some schmole.
There was a purpose behind it.
Because it sets up the last generation.
And here's the problem, when people talk about the last generation, when you go, well, no man knows, you know, nobody knows the year, the month, the week, the day, the hour, blah, blah, blah, right?
That is a Hebrew idiom meaning no man knows the instant.
Even God in Revelation chapter 11 said, when you see the two witnesses, which most true scholars know are Elijah and Moses, stand up.
unidentified
Right.
terry in minnesota
You got three and a half days before Christ beat the Mount of Olives.
Right.
harrison smith
Well, I've always interpreted that as basically meaning that it's not set in stone.
I mean, humans have will, and if we choose to turn away from evil and turn towards God, perhaps we can waylay the inevitable destruction coming down the road.
That's all I've always interpreted, is that it's not preordained, it's actually up to us, and we can keep this world going on longer if we actually behave in a proper way uh but yeah this whole this is the problem with the israel palestine conflict in general is that it has this religious overtone which i think is is frankly inappropriate for uh talking about real life death and destruction and geopolitical maneuvering i
I honestly, like, it's a fun thing to debate.
It's an interesting thing to consider.
Like, was this prophecy this?
Did it mean this?
Well, do they have a right to this land?
Blah, blah, blah.
But it's completely arbitrary and anybody can make claims like this.
I mean, what would stop Native Americans from claiming that, you know, Austin, Texas is sacred land to them and that their God gave it to them.
So, you know, they have a right to eliminate us and replace us here.
It doesn't make any sense.
Uh, and it's not a valid argument in my opinion for geopolitics.
You can consider it, you can make your decisions based off of that, uh, but no, it doesn't make any sense.
And you see the most ridiculous stuff, I saw a video the other day, it was an Israeli guy, uh, being asked, being interviewed about the Palestinians and he was basically in, you know, they were like, well what do you say to the people who think that you're, um, You know, that you are kicking them out of their, like, ancestral homes.
You're, you know, evicting them from their homes where they've lived and their fathers lived and their fathers' fathers lived.
And the guy's like, well, you know, too bad.
Like, they stole my grandfather's house from me, or from him, so now we're just stealing it back.
And it's like, this dude saying this is as Eastern European as you can possibly get.
And he's like, blonde hair, blue-eyed guy saying, they stole my grandfather's land in Israel.
That is an absurdity.
It makes no sense whatsoever.
But it's a religious argument.
They're basically saying that 2,000 years ago, Jews lost Israel, so now they have to have it back.
Okay, take it up with the Romans, I guess.
But it shouldn't be an argument when you're talking about real-life geopolitics and bombs dropping on people.
unidentified
You're watching The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith.
Watch live right now at band.video.
harrison smith
Good lord!
You know...
The media in this country, somebody said it, a caller said it on a show, it was either yesterday, earlier this week, or last week, where they said it's like arguing with a psycho ex-girlfriend.
And that's literally what it's like.
Just search the term Republicans seize, or Republicans seized, because nothing that the Republicans do can be permitted To be seen as legitimate in the eyes of the media.
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
Here's a prime example.
From thehill.com, Republicans seek vindication amid re-emergence of Wuhan lab theory.
Congressional Republicans are seizing on recent comments from health officials and top scientists about the origin of the coronavirus as vindication for their previous claims and are demanding Democrats launch investigations.
It's always, it's always, Republicans are seizing on something.
How about Republicans said it probably came from a lab, Democrats denied it, lied about it, ended the investigation into it, now it's been exposed that it did come from the lab, and it's being portrayed as Republicans seizing on something.
They have to portray Republicans as inauthentic opportunists, basically.
You can't let people think that Republicans actually care about things.
If they are doing something, you have to insinuate somehow, you have to imply that they're doing it dishonestly.
It's not that Republicans want a border for safety and immigration and to have a functioning country.
No, they're racist against Mexican people!
So anytime there's a legitimate concern or a legitimate issue that Republicans actually care about and want to make moves on, it's always they're seizing on this.
You know, it's like Republicans say, hey, having no immigration control, let's illegal immigrants come in and they commit crimes that hurt American people.
And then it's like that happens.
There's an immigrant that commits a crime and it hurts an American person.
And the Republicans are like, see, this is what we're talking, this is what we're trying to prevent.
And it's like, Republican seizes on this violence to try to put forward their racist thing.
It's like, when we say, here's the consequence of your position, and then that consequence comes to pass, consequence comes to pass, and we point that out, We aren't seizing on something to turn to our own ends to benefit ourselves because we're out for power.
We actually have beliefs.
Republicans are seizing on recent comments from health officials.
So it is like a bad ex-girlfriend where it's like you say to her like, yeah, you know, you You locked the keys in the car.
And she's like, no, I didn't.
No, I didn't.
No, no, I didn't do it.
I did not lock the keys in the car.
I didn't.
I didn't.
And then like you go and you're like, yeah, they're in the car and they're locked and you were the one that did it.
And then she's like, oh, wow.
So you just, your ego, like you just have to be right.
You have to be right about everything.
You just want to serve your ego by proving me wrong.
And it's all about your ego.
And it's like, the hell are you talking about?
You know, I don't know if you've ever dated a crazy girl before.
They have this way of manipulating things.
Where even when you're right, it's not that you're right, it's that you're manipulating things because your ego demands that you be right.
It's like, no, I'm just right about this.
I'm just right.
It's like Republicans, they're just right.
They're right about the lab leak theory.
They're right about the origins of coronavirus.
Now that it's actually coming out, the media can't just say that.
Hey, Republicans turned out they were right all along.
Democrats, seizing on dishonesty.
I can't say that.
They have to try to frame it incorrectly.
And it's so unbelievably infuriating.
You're right about something, they say you're wrong, you're proven right, and suddenly it's, oh well, you're seizing on this opportunity to get power for yourself.
Meanwhile, what happens when Democrats just are blatantly, openly, egregiously dishonest and opportunistic?
It's all covered up.
It's all smoothed over.
Some of the quotes from this, I mean, just incredible.
Here's from the New York Times.
Democrats, once outraged, take a quieter approach to migrant children.
Oh, it's not that they were seizing on the immigration crisis to try to get power from Donald Trump?
No, you can't portray the Democrats as opportunistic, as sleazeballs, as Conniving, manipulating liars?
No, no.
In fact, they literally say... I'll just read some of it.
It's unbelievably incredible.
Democrats say the contrast is good.
They say House Democrats, who led an angry charge against Trump administration's treatment of migrant children, have taken a much quieter tack since concerns began emerging about conditions at some of the emergency shelters set up by the Biden administration to deal with minors at this southern border.
Just like outrage at Trump imprisoning children in cages.
Meanwhile, concerns about the Biden administration's handling of emergency shelters Just so unbelievably serpentine.
Just slimy.
All of this just oozes slime.
Democrats say the contrast is for good reason.
Former President Donald J. Trump's immigration policies were deliberately cruel, devised as a deterrent to would-be immigrants, while the Biden administration is trying hard to deal with a bad hand.
I mean, they're literally telling you their scheme here.
Like, they're literally just being like, you want to see how dishonest we can be?
Check it out.
We'll take exactly the same policy and we'll present it in two entirely different ways.
Like, they're just open saying it.
The policy is the same.
Biden's, if anything, is less effective, more crowded, more destructive, if anything.
But essentially, it's the same.
It's separate the children from the people who claim to be their parents, make sure they're safe, keep them in housing.
Then the Biden administration, of course, is then putting them on jets and shipping them to Rhode Island, but that's a different story.
It's just amazing.
Trump's immigration policies were deliberately cruel.
Well, the Biden administration is trying hard to deal with the bad hand.
Oh, but they're the same policies.
Oh, okay.
Oh, interesting.
Veronica Escobar, Democrat of Texas, says she's been impressed with the administration working on the issue, saying, quote, they have a solid vision and a heart of gold, and they seem to want to do the right thing.
It's just like, again, Republicans go, hey, this immigration thing is a problem.
I bet I could even find articles where they go, Republicans, seize on the children's in cages outrage to further put forward their immigration issues.
It's just so unbelievably dishonest.
Then they go on to talk about the infrastructure bill, where basically the Democrats are just demanding all of this insane stuff, calling it infrastructure, just totally dishonest, just blatantly, egregiously, like un- Imaginably dishonest.
Literally.
They're just like, yeah, we're gonna do free preschool, and free internet, and free phones, and we're gonna only subsidize black people.
Oh, really?
What's this bill called?
Oh, we're calling it the infrastructure bill.
Just more dishonest than you can even wrap your head around.
Shockingly dishonest, shockingly openly Deceitful.
Yeah, it's like, but after making good faith compromise offer that moved towards the Republican colleagues positions, so essentially they're just demanding these outrageous things.
Republicans are like, hey, well, we want infrastructure.
We'll work with you.
But no, this is ridiculous.
And Democrats are just like these obstructionists over here.
So essentially if the Democrats don't get what they want, If you don't give them everything they want, they just threaten to flip the board over, burn the house down.
As frustration grows over GOP obstruction, progressives intensify demands to kill the filibuster.
They're just like, yeah, let's just destroy the foundations of our government because we aren't getting what we want right now.
These people are... I don't even want to say they're children because children are innocent.
Children are, for the most part, good.
These are the children of demons.
These are the children of Satan.
These are the offspring of the decrepit, fallen denizens of hell.
Democrats and their media cohorts.
unidentified
I'm still just stuck on this Rand Paul thing.
harrison smith
So I was just thinking about AOC.
And I was just like, AOC is like doing these live streams She's like, there were protesters half a mile away, and I thought one of them was coming to get me, but it turned out to be a cop.
And I was like, oh dear.
Oh, we're so sorry.
Oh, who can we imprison?
Who do we imprison to make you happy?
What can we do?
Just like, and it's just constant.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is like, hey AOC, will you debate me?
And I'm like, you leave her alone!
You leave her alone!
And Nancy Pelosi goes up and Marjorie Taylor Greene assaulted Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez on the floor today.
Oh dear.
And it's just like, Rand Paul is just probably just sitting there like, uh, what?
Steve Scalise is Probably looking at the bullet holes, scarring his body, just like, uh, the hell is wrong with you?
Of course, Stephen Colbert.
Oh, poor Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Wormtongue gets on the late night show.
All of America wept together today with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
We all felt the fear that she felt.
We never want her to feel that again.
So we're getting rid of the First Amendment.
Meanwhile, Rand Paul just, like, beaten within an inch of his death, just mobbed, just death threats, powder sent to his home, gunned, you know, gunned down on a baseball field, swarmed by angry mobs, just constant attacks.
And Colbert's like, yeah, but you're not vaccinated, so you deserve it.
Okay?
So.
That's the late night show.
unidentified
That's...
harrison smith
It's good stuff.
Good stuff.
I was there.
I was so scared.
I was hiding under my desk.
And then the cop came in and was like, Hey, we're getting lunch.
Do you want Alex?
Alex, where are you?
It's just like, no danger at all.
At all whatsoever.
These people, these people.
No empathy, no sympathy, just hatred.
And again, it's just like, what has Rand Paul done?
What has he done?
unidentified
What has he said?
harrison smith
What does he represent?
Literally just like, he like, once a year goes for like a month to Haiti to perform eye surgery for free on children.
And they're just like, yeah, that guy deserves to die.
He's just like, yeah, I just, I really love freedom.
I want low taxes.
You know, the American way, truth, justice, peace.
I'm a doctor.
Son of a congressman.
Worked hard my whole life.
Beautiful children, beautiful wife.
No scandals at all.
Just like, just a good guy from Kentucky.
Right about everything.
And they're just like, murder that man.
Kill him.
Slaughter him.
We will celebrate the assassin.
Let's keep talking.
Let's keep talking about stuff, folks.
We'll get to the bottom of this.
Incredible, incredible stuff.
Let's go back to your phone calls.
Christine from California has a comment about the debate from last night, of course, the debate, the Nick Fuentes-Robert Barnes Great Debate, a huge success here on InfoWars.
Christine, did you watch the debate?
What did you think of it?
unidentified
I didn't watch all of it, but somebody commented that the USS Liberty incident was not discussed on it, and there is something about that incident that is almost never discussed anywhere.
harrison smith
Okay.
unidentified
Including by the people who like to yell and scream about it.
You see, LBJ didn't just cover it up.
He ordered it.
If you put in He wanted an excuse to attack Egypt.
Under Nasser, they were buddy-buddy with USSR, so he was going to have a false flag, which would be, instead of usual technique where you use your own soldiers to do something dressed up in somebody else's garb, he'd have Israeli pilots put the thing on the bottom of the ocean and then blame Egypt.
And three times there was a request for help, and help started and was told by McNamara to fall back and stand down and don't go there.
And, um, this, uh, if you put in, um, LBJ, uh, ordered attack liberty as a search term, you can find several articles on this.
harrison smith
Okay.
unidentified
I think it was a book written about it.
Anyway, he has, uh, one person, I think Henry Macco's page, uh, uh, had apparently heard him on the phone yelling and he wanted that, he wanted that boat sunk and he didn't want any witnesses.
The Israeli pilots were dubious about this at first.
They said, you know, hey, wait a minute, there's an American flag on the ship.
And their boss said, go ahead and do it.
And they, I don't know if they did their best or if they were deliberately sloppy, but the thing, the USS Liberty survived.
And the idea of embarrassing our ally was just nonsense.
What he wanted, the cover-up he was doing was really to avoid In his own situation, coming out in the open, because he had wanted to attack Egypt, and he was going to put the thing, he was going to sink the USS Liberty and blame Egypt.
harrison smith
Right.
Well, but how would, I haven't looked into this aspect of the USS Liberty, so you're telling me something that I'm not fully informed on.
How would LBJ give orders to the Israeli military?
unidentified
Well, very simply, they were Israel and us.
Israel is pretty dependent on us.
Right.
And there would be somebody in – it wouldn't be just to the military.
It would be they took their orders from someone higher up in the politics who was comparable to Netanyahu being a similar mentality to some of our own deep state people, was a similar – got along with LBJ on this and wanted war with Egypt was a similar – got along with LBJ on this and Right.
So it seems like a very – The details – the arguments for this are in – there's at least one book out there on the subject.
And those search terms, LBJ, attack, liberty – LBJ, order, attack, liberty.
You put those search terms in, you'll find a link to at least one book and some articles, and you can keep poking around.
And anybody can find out more on this.
harrison smith
Okay.
unidentified
Henry Mack?
harrison smith
Yeah, yeah.
No, I'll look into it.
It's definitely an interesting topic and I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.
Just, you know, to wrap my mind around that, if I was Israel, I would not go along with that.
So, I mean, there definitely had to be some in Israel as well.
It's like, you know, America being like, hey, go ahead and attack our vessel.
It's like, no, no, we'll blame it on somebody else.
Don't worry about it.
Like, I mean, that is a very dangerous move to attack America, and then hope that they blame it on your enemy rather than on you.
I mean, they're really playing with fire there.
So I don't know, if I was Israel, I would not have gone along with LBJ on that.
Because how easy would it be for LBJ to go, hey, Israel just attacked our people, attack them, right?
To me, it seems like Israel wouldn't do that if they Hey, thanks for taking my call, Harrison.
it would be blamed on Egypt.
Anyway, it's an interesting topic, and I don't think it got brought up last night, although it may have.
Let's go now to Alex in Michigan, who says that the Knights Templar run Israel for the Pope.
This is an interesting take on the Israel-Palestine situation.
Thanks for calling in.
Alex, you are on the air.
alex in michigan
Hey, thanks for taking my call, Harrison.
I wanted to talk about the Knights Templar crusaders that still run Israel, and these Knights Templar crusaders have a history going back to the 1100s, and apparently these Knights Templar were made to protect the Merovingian bloodlines, and this is all in the Da Vinci Code or whatever, and apparently these Knights Templar were made to protect the Merovingian bloodlines, and this is all in the Da Vinci That's a lie, but if you want to know more about the topic, watch the movie Da Vinci Code or the book or whatever.
The Illuminati was founded in 1776 by Adam Weishaupt, who was a Jesuit professor at Ingolstadt University and a Rosicrucian Freemason Knights Templar.
The Freemasons were created when the Knights Templar were suppressed in 1307 by Pope Clement and King Philip of France for being devil worshippers, worshipping Baphomet, and so they had to go to Scotland and create the Freemasons there.
And so that's that history.
And so Israel is like kind of between a rock and a hard place.
They got the Pope and the Crusaders running their government and they got all these Muslims who hate them.
And it's just a tough situation.
But let me read this Bible quote, Daniel 2 20.
Bless be the name of God forever and ever for wisdom and might are his And he changes the times and the seasons.
He removes kings and raises up kings.
He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.
He reveals deep and secret things.
He knows what is in the darkness and light dwells with him.
harrison smith
Beautiful stuff, man.
I'm happy that we get to close out this show on a Bible verse, and I thank you for that, Alex in Michigan.
Some very interesting hidden history, and suffice to say, not as all as it seems.
People who are ostensibly enemies with each other are really working together behind the scenes.
Strings are being pulled from one globalist city to the next.
The point is, the more chaos and conflict that they can create, and that they endeavor to generate, the more power that they're able to take from the individual and consume for themselves.
Crazy world, folks!
I'm glad we're riding through this storm together.
The Alex Jones Show begins very soon.
Don't go anywhere.
owen shroyer

Or do they continue to make their political statement by wearing the mask?
Well, make your statement that you're not going to be a slave, you're not going to be subject to tyranny, you are mask free and really trigger them.
But There's other statements you can make, like, the media is the virus.
That will really get people thinking, outside of the box, to think, hmm, you know, we just had this whole pandemic I was supposed to be scared of, but the vaccines aren't working, and the masks never work, but hmm, maybe it was the media that was the virus.

I'm in a very good, positive mood because despite all the horrible things the globalists have done in the last 16 months with their COVID takeover operation, humanity is really responding and waking up.
We are seeing amazing things happen to their entire agenda.
And in places like Texas, the governor's finally woken up and is saying $1,000 fines for any business that tries to make people coming in it wear masks because masks don't work.
It's all a fraud.
COVID's been completely overblown.
Fauci has had to come out.
In late May and say, hey, it may have come out of the lab.
It may have come out of Wuhan when he was the one funding gain of function.
He was the one funding the COVID research.
So the fact that he's having to admit that shows he knows that it's all going to come out.
And so he's doing damage control.
If we expose how they purposely released this to create global fear and have launched their great reset, they're not just going to not be able to launch another lockdown in the near future.
They're going to go to prison.
We need Nuremberg too.
And a lot of other exciting, positive things have been happening as well.
One of the big ones is the fact that despite the COVID lockdowns, the attack on the supply chain, huge supplement shortages that are all over the news for the vital vitamins and minerals and other co-factors getting to market because of the shutdown, we have been able to get DNA Force Plus that's been sold huge supplement shortages that are all over the news for the vital vitamins and minerals and other co-factors getting
DNA Force Plus, ladies and gentlemen, has the PQQ, the CoQ10 and all the other key ingredients that are known to clean out your cells, to clean out your mitochondria, to make your telomeres last longer.
It's even connected to nerve regeneration and regrowth.
You've got to look it up.
I only covered a few of the ingredients in DNA Force Plus.
It's the very best out there and it's 40% off despite the fact it's been sold out for more than seven months.
