you're tuned in to the american journal with your host harrison smith Watch it live right now at band.video. | |
| Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Welcome to the program. | ||
| It's American Journal. | ||
| I'm Harrison Smith. You're watching us on InfoWars.com and band.video. | ||
| Just doing a little last-second research here just to confirm what we already know about the first story. | ||
| in our daily dispatch so let's just get right into it shall we we'll begin today as we do every day with our daily dispatch all right here it is folks your daily dispatch for friday the 18th of march 2022 leah thomas Has run away with it in the Women's NCAA Swimming Championship. | ||
| She slash he ran slash swam away with it. | ||
| Leah Thompson wins at NAACP's Women's Swimming Championship in Atlanta. | ||
| It drew protesters and it also is destroying her teammates' emotional and psychological well-being. | ||
| But the good news is that this biological male who has undergone no physical transition and is, by the way, also a heterosexual, which matters when he's Undressing in the locker room and his teammates are forced to strip in front of him. | ||
| It sort of matters. He's both a biological male and a heterosexual still attracted to women. | ||
| In other words, the only thing that makes this person trans is the fact that he has said that he's trans. | ||
| But he is absolutely blasting the other person. | ||
| The girls out of the water, completely destroying them, shattering the fastest times on record. | ||
| In fact, he defeated his opponent by the next closest one was a good three seconds slower than him, which is a pretty big difference when you're talking about swimming. | ||
| Now, the top time... | ||
| That he set was four minutes and 33 seconds, a record, and three seconds faster than the runner-up. | ||
| So I thought I'd go ahead and look at how that would compare if he was swimming against the gender that he is. | ||
| And it looks like he wouldn't even make it in the pool with that type of time. | ||
| No, the fastest men's 500 meter freestyle was 4 minutes and 6 seconds. | ||
| So, a good 20 plus seconds faster than Leah Thomas. | ||
| See, if Leah Thomas were to be swimming with the men, she wouldn't even be in the pool. | ||
| She wouldn't be on the board. She certainly wouldn't be breaking records. | ||
| But now she has to simply call himself a woman. | ||
| And now he's breaking records and destroying the hopes and dreams of actual girls that have trained for their whole lives to perhaps take gold or at least be in the finals. | ||
| Of this highly competitive sport, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity snatched away at the behest of social justice. | ||
| We'll get into that and show you some videos in just a little bit. | ||
| Meanwhile, the war in Ukraine rages on. | ||
| Putin's chilling warning to Russian traitors and scum, according to CNN, is the signs things aren't going to plan. | ||
| I got the opposite reading from this video. | ||
| You know, sometimes you get these headlines where they say things like chilling warning. | ||
| And it's just sort of a clickbait. | ||
| Not so here. | ||
| We'll show you the videos. And I gotta say, it's pretty chilling. | ||
| It's pretty chilling to hear Vladimir Putin very seriously and calmly warn the West that should they get involved and should they interfere in Russia to a greater extent, All options are on the table. | ||
| It seems like he means it. | ||
| Of course, according to CNN, this means he's desperate and things aren't going to plan. | ||
| And we've got him right where he wanted. And he's just like, listen to me very carefully. | ||
| We will obliterate you if you try to face us. | ||
| And they're like, oh, what are you, scared? It's just, we're run by petulant idiots and they may well get us all vaporized by a nuclear weapon. | ||
| So, look forward to that. | ||
| We'll show you that video. Later in the program. | ||
| Meanwhile, the British broadcast regulator officially bans Russian news network RT. It's no longer allowed to air in Britain because, of course, you can't have that Russian disinformation stopping your population from wanting to go into war. | ||

You're listening to the American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | |
| Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Continuing on with our Daily Dispatch here, Pfizer BioNTech seeks FDA authorization for fourth COVID-19 vaccine doses for people 65 and up. | ||
| Pfizer submitted an application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for emergency use authorization for an additional booster dose of their COVID-19 vaccine for adults 65 and older who have gotten a booster dose of any of the authorized or approved vaccine, the company said Tuesday. | ||
| So yes, they are continuing to push Pfizer For more and more vaccines, I don't think that's what Pfizer should be doing right now. | ||
| I think Pfizer right now should probably be begging for forgiveness for poisoning the entire nation and profiting hugely off of the failed experiment of the mRNA vaccine, which has been proven incontrovertibly to not work and in fact only make you more likely to get the Omicron strain. | ||
| Finally, we have this story from CNN. Those are the bottom of the happiness scale and everything in between, plus factors that tend to lead to greater happiness. | ||
| With two years of COVID-19 pandemic data on the books, the report has uncovered something unexpected. | ||
| Big surprise that globally, in an uncoordinated way, there have been very large increases in all three forms of benevolence that are asked about in the Gallup World Poll, which is interesting. | ||
| Donating charity, helping a stranger, and volunteering are all the way up, especially the help to strangers in 2021. | ||
| Again, this isn't measuring wealth. | ||
| It's not measuring lifespan. | ||
| It's strictly measuring happiness. | ||
| And if we look at the list of the happiest countries in the world, a fascinating trend emerges. | ||
| The world's happiest country is 2022 edition. | ||
| Number one, taking the top place, is Finland. | ||
| Number two is Denmark. | ||
| Number three is Iceland. | ||
| Number four, Switzerland. | ||
| Number five, Netherlands. Number six, Luxembourg. | ||
| Number seven, Sweden. | ||
| Number eight, Norway. | ||
| Number nine, Israel. | ||
| Number 10, New Zealand. | ||
| Number 11, Austria. | ||
| Number 12, Australia. | ||
| Number 13, Ireland. Are you starting to get a sense of what makes a country happy? | ||
| I don't know. Call me a conspiracy theorist. | ||
| Call me whatever you want. | ||
| It's official, folks. Thanks to the UN Sustainable Whatever Fund happiness poll. | ||
| Happiness directly correlated to the percentage of white people in your country. | ||
| I'm sorry. That's just the facts as it is. | ||
| I don't know what to tell you. | ||
| Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Switzerland, Netherlands. | ||
| It's just... I don't know what it is. | ||
| White people are just happy, I guess. | ||
| We're just a happy folk, it seems. | ||
| And that's your daily dispatch. | ||
| There you go. Just a bunch of happy folk, I guess, is what it is. | ||
| I don't know. I don't know what else Finland has going for it. | ||
| But, yeah, apparently all the happiest countries in the world are white countries. | ||
| Make of that what you will. | ||
| Now I'm going to go to some of these videos. | ||
| Savannah Hernandez has been... | ||
| Absolutely killing it recently. | ||
| She's on the road. And was there at the NAACP. NCAA. Freestyle championship. | ||
| Freestyle swimming. 500 yards is where. | ||
| Leah Thomas. | ||
| Which I think just. | ||
| I get confused with these names. | ||
| I'm just going to refer to her as Thomas from now on. | ||
| Just take the last name only. | ||
| So Thomas. This young woman. | ||
| Who is in fact a man. | ||
| Absolutely blew his slash her competition out of the water. | ||
| And again, let's just really drill down on some numbers here, shall we? | ||
| Leah Thomas wins at NCAA Women's Swimming Championships in Atlanta, draws protesters. | ||
| That's a headline from Fox News. | ||
| Daily Mail has this headline. | ||
| Trans UPenn swimmer Leah Thompson obliterates her opponents by almost an entire length in 500-yard freestyle prelims at NCAA Championship. | ||
| Teammate rails against her for, quote, ruining the integrity of the sport. | ||
| What does she mean by this? Well, Thomas, who set six records at last month's Ivy League Championships, scored a top-time four minutes, 33 seconds, a whole three seconds faster than the runner-up. | ||
| And in a sport like swimming, I mean, often these races are decided by a one-hundredth of a second. | ||
| So three seconds. I mean, that's huge. | ||
| That's a major, major gap showing that really she's just quite literally... | ||
| Heads and tails over her opponents. | ||
| But 4 minutes and 33 seconds for the 500-yard freestyle. | ||
| But then if you go to this article from Swimming World Magazine, we see the 2021 NCAA Division Men's Swimming Championship that happened last year. | ||
| And you see that the lowest scoring person in this championship had a time of 4 minutes and 12 seconds. | ||
| A full 20 seconds faster than Leah Thomas. | ||
| Meaning that if Leah Thomas was swimming with her slash his actual gender, not only would he not be blowing his competition out of the water by a full 3 seconds, he would be a full 20 seconds under the lowest scoring competitor. | ||
| In that race, meaning he wouldn't be in the pool. | ||
| He probably might not even be on the team, quite frankly. | ||
| So what Leah Thomas is, is a cheater, is a big fat cheater who is taking advantage of the pathological acceptance of Of the leftist and liberal landscape we exist in to destroy the hopes and dreams of girls who unfortunately just don't have the physical capacity to compete with men in certain things such as swimming. | ||
| Nothing against women. | ||
| I sure as hell can't swim as fast as these girls. | ||
| Seems a little unfair to me. | ||
| I don't know. Maybe I'm just an old school guy like that. | ||
| It seems like it is viciously unfair to these girls. | ||
| But of course, the girls on the team, they don't like this. | ||
| They're not okay with this. | ||
| But they can't speak up about it. | ||
| That's why I kind of hesitate when I was saying, you know, the pathologically accepting atmosphere that we're in. | ||
| It's a media landscape that we're in that's pathologically accepting, but that dictates the rest of society. | ||
| See, there may be 16 girls on this swim team that all think this is wrong now. | ||
| They all feel hurt and betrayed by this. | ||
| They all feel, frankly, humiliated and sexually abused by this ruling as they are forced to strip in front of a heterosexual man who may be standing there naked in the locker room. | ||
| I'm not just saying this. These are the reports from the one or two young women on this swim team who have to, in the cover of darkness, like some Watergate whistleblower, some dingy parking garage somewhere, meeting with some reporter and under the cover of anonymity is like, um, it's awful. | ||
| We're abused. It's humiliating. | ||
| He walks around naked in the locker room and I would be, you know, achieving my goals and all of my dedication to this highly competitive sport would be paying off except all the rewards and glory go to him. | ||
| Because he's physically more powerful than the girls. | ||
| And, like, it's awful. But they have to, like, very quietly and secretly say this. | ||
| They're just like, keep my name out of it, please. | ||
| My life will be destroyed. | ||
| Because the media has built this landscape up. | ||
| They've established this paradigm where even if you're the one being abused, even if you're the one who's being taken advantage of, you're the one who's having your life accomplishments literally ripped out of your hands... | ||
| You have to silently take it, and if you dare to complain, you will be the one who is blamed when everything falls apart. | ||
| You will be the one who's called a hateful, bigoted person. | ||
| It will be your head on the chopping block. | ||
| And who knows? Maybe, you know, it will be a big controversy and the... | ||
| School administration will have to get involved. | ||
| Maybe your coach will be fired. | ||
| Maybe your whole season will be ruined. | ||
| And it'll all be your fault for speaking up. | ||
| It's not the fault of the man walking around naked in the girls' locker room. | ||
| It's not the fault of the man competing with women when he... | ||
| Wouldn't even be in the pool if he tried to try out for the men's team. | ||
| It's not his fault for abusing you. | ||
| It's your fault for speaking up about it. | ||
| And it's a pretty devastating circumstance that these girls find themselves in. | ||
| But they are starting to speak up and a lot of people are speaking up for them. | ||
| And there was massive protests. | ||
| So we'll go to some of the videos that Savannah Hernandez captured yesterday at this championship. | ||
| that shows this is not going over so well. | ||
|

|
Welcome back, folks. | |
| Yes, Leah Thomas. | ||
| I mean, it's just... It's just ridiculous and outrageous. | ||
| Leah Thomas, as a man, absolutely dominated the NCAA Swimming Championship. | ||
| Now, Savannah Hernandez was there on the ground interviewing... | ||
| People about what was going on. | ||
| You had protesters protesting against this saying protect women's sports, protect girls in sports. | ||
| Essentially don't let women's sports be destroyed for the sake of some ridiculous and frankly insane social justice imperative. | ||
| And then they were met with counter protesters who were just saying garbled ridiculous talking points. | ||
| And there was an interesting Confrontation between these two groups. | ||
| That's Savannah captured on film here. | ||
| Let's go to clip number 20. This is again Savannah Hernandez confronting or not confronting, but just going up and talking to the LGBTQ community who is out to counter-protest the Save Women's Sports Rally. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's watch clip 20. Would any of y'all be interested in talking about what you guys think about their protest? | |
| It's a Thursday afternoon. | ||
| I don't know why they're here, and they don't have anything better to do. | ||
| We're here to support fair sport for women and girls. | ||
| You know that. We're here to support fair sport for women and girls. | ||
| Why do their signs anger you so much? | ||
| No, they don't anger me, but they're a mischaracterization of us claiming that this is hate. | ||
| This is nothing to do about hate. | ||
| We don't hate anyone. We love women and girls and we want fair sports for them and fair sports for everyone else. | ||
| Honestly, I feel like they don't actually care about women's sports. | ||
| They just care about being transphobic. | ||
| Hold on, let's just pause it right there. | ||
| All right, clearly, just once again, I mean, it's a continuous thing. | ||
| I don't need to tell you this from any video you've ever seen where you have a congregation of leftists brought together by some cause. | ||
| They, again, quite literally cannot comprehend and certainly can't express. | ||
| You get a sense of really what's going on in their lives. | ||
| Fetid, decrepit minds, right? | ||
| She's like, why do you think it's important to be here? | ||
| And the girl's just like, it's Thursday. | ||
| These people don't have anything better to do. | ||
| And it's just like, what are you doing? | ||
| Do you not have anything better to do? | ||
| They think they're standing up against hate, of course. | ||
| But, I mean, just think about this. | ||
| Think about this paradigm. They think it's transphobia. | ||
| That's bringing these women out. | ||
| That they don't care about women. | ||
| They don't care about women's sports. | ||
| It's just... Transphobia. | ||
| Like, what... | ||
| What... I honestly can't understand what they think is going on. | ||
| They think that these people are just like... | ||
| I don't know, religious nutjobs or something? | ||
| That have just latched onto this? | ||
| Because they're like, yeah, we'll destroy trans women. | ||
| Like, just what is going on in their mind? | ||
| What is going on in the mind of these counter-protesters... | ||
| That they're able to so easily just ignore all of the claims of the other side. | ||
| And it's what they do about absolutely everything, right? | ||
| I want secure elections. | ||
| They're like, oh, you just don't want black people to vote? | ||
| And it's just like, do you really, just really think about, do you really think that every Republican in the country, 80 million plus Americans that voted for Donald Trump in the last election, Just no real beliefs. | ||
| We don't have any actual beliefs. | ||
| We don't have any actual concerns. | ||
| We don't want things just to work in a normal way. | ||
| We don't want just to be sure that our government is doing what it should be doing and that people are allowed to pursue their whatever makes them happy without interference, whether it's becoming an elite swimmer in college or whether it's casting your vote and having it count. | ||
| It's just like I just, I don't get it. | ||
| I mean, it's just like magic. They're just able to just like wish it away. | ||
| They just go, no, you just hate black people and transgender people. | ||
| Honestly, I just, I can't even like express what a, what a ridiculous thing this is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're just like, how do we stop black people from voting? | |
| We don't want black people voting. | ||
| We'll claim it's about election integrity, but we all know it's just about stopping those blacks from voting, right? | ||
| Like, we want safe elections, okay? | ||
| We're not sitting around going, oh, there's a trans woman. | ||
| You know, won this swimming competition. | ||
| Well, I hate trans people. | ||
| I have no reason to, but I'm just an ignorant rube, and trans people scare me. | ||
| I'm transphobic, so I'll go protest this event. | ||
| I mean, it just makes no sense. | ||
| So you just get... You get a real sense of just how morally and intellectually bankrupt the left is. | ||
| They're incapable of mounting any legitimate arguments on the actual substance. | ||
| So their only result is just to impose and project upon you baseless, senseless, ignorant hate. | ||
| And that's what they're arguing against. | ||
| It doesn't exist. It's not what motivates you. | ||
| It's not what motivates me. | ||
| Literally the farthest thing from it. | ||
| Like that woman said, we're here to protect women. | ||
| We want women to have fair representation in sports. | ||
| They can't confront that. | ||
| They can't even think about that because if they think about it for just a moment, they just really think about it for a single moment, it would be so obvious that we're right. | ||
| So they have to completely ignore everything we say in favor of just projecting baselessly some sort of just Psychopathic hate. | ||
| And then they argue against that. | ||
| And then act like they're the moral superiors. | ||
| And so they can ignore us completely because, you know, hate. | ||
| Because they say hate, so they can ignore us completely. | ||
| So let's go back to this. I want to keep watching these people and what they think they're doing out there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't have any of them really, like, cared about women's sports before this. | |
| They just care because a trans woman is competing. | ||
| And they just have a problem with that because they can't mind their own business. | ||
| It's terrible and it shouldn't be happening on our campus. | ||
| Why do you feel like it's terrible? It's very transphobic and not inclusive and mean. | ||
| So, yeah, it should be happening. | ||
| Pretty fucking transphobic and disgusting. | ||
| This is the craziest part. | ||
| Let's pull it down. What's mean here? | ||
| Who is being victimized by people protesting? | ||
| What is mean about protesting this? | ||
| The mean thing is that you have, again, young women. | ||
| Swimming's not some sideshow, right? | ||
| It's a very important sport when it comes to college and the Olympics. | ||
| It's like a high-profile sport. | ||
| It's highly competitive. If you want to be the top swimmer, you've really got to bust your butt. | ||
| This isn't like hunter-jumper horsemanship, right? | ||
| Where there's a very small amount of people that can compete and you really don't have to be that good because your horse doesn't want to work. | ||
| No, no. This is something you have to dedicate your time to. | ||
| This is something that you have to be passionate about. | ||
| Something you have to be naturally gifted in. | ||
| Something you have to be coached in and be really good at. | ||
| These girls dedicate their lives to this and then they have their only chance, many of these girls, at attaining... | ||
| Glory. Like, actual achievement. | ||
| Like, can you imagine? | ||
| Have you ever met the number one swimmer? | ||
| The number one swimmer in college? | ||
| The top national champion in anything? | ||
| Have you ever met the national champion in any sport? | ||
| It's incredibly rare. | ||
| Vaunted. Celebrated, right? | ||
| Imagine this idea of, like, you work... | ||
| Every day you dedicate yourself to this. | ||
| You sacrifice friends. | ||
| You sacrifice partying. | ||
| You sacrifice so much stuff to get to this point. | ||
| You have one opportunity before you graduate and can no longer compete. | ||
| You have one opportunity to have your name in the history books. | ||
| To be the best in the nation at a highly competitive sport. | ||
| And that opportunity is ripped away from you by some dude that wouldn't even be in the pool if he was competing with the other guys. | ||
| That's mean. It's very mean to these people. | ||
| It's actually viciously mean to the women competitors. | ||
| editors. | ||
| That's who's being mean here. | ||

|
You're tuned in to the American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | |
| Watch it live right now at band.video. | ||
| Folks, Leah Thomas is allowed to endlessly abuse his teammates. | ||
| Whether it's sexually humiliating them in the locker room or destroying their only hope at being the best in their field and enjoying the rewards of their dedication and talent. | ||
| I mean, it's just the complete inversion of reality that you then have a bunch of protesters saying that all the people protesting against this, standing up and just pointing out that this is obviously wrong, just unbelievably wrong in every possible sense of the word, morally, scientifically, ethically. | ||
| It's not sportsmanlike. | ||
| It is destroying the integrity of the sports, destroying the dreams of the girls that actually deserve... | ||
| Chance in the spotlight. Complete inversion. | ||
| You're mean if you want to stop that. | ||
| You're mean if you want to protect the people being abused. | ||
| It couldn't make less sense. | ||
| But Savannah Hernandez interviewed a young woman who was on a Virginia swimming team about one of the primary victims of Leah Thomas. | ||
| She was the Swimmer that was number 17 in this race where the top 16 people move forward. | ||
| Let's go now to clip number 19. | ||
| Here's Savannah Hernandez talking to one of these college swimmers about Leah Thomas. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're a Virginia Tech swimmer. | |
| What did you think about Leah Thomas competing today as a swimmer in this competition? | ||
| What are you feeling? What are other athletes feeling? | ||
| It's a common conception that we are all very disappointed and frustrated with someone who has capabilities more than us women have to be able to compete at this level and take opportunities away from other women like I have a teammate who did not make finals today because she was just bumped out of finals and it's heartbreaking to see someone who Went through puberty as a male and has the body of a male be able to absolutely blow away the competition and you go into with a mindset that you are you don't have a chance if that makes sense like it's hard to compete against someone with the aerobic capacity the muscle development the body of a man it's hard it's hard to think about it like that and staying positive i bet for other swimmers who are in that uh heat is probably Overwhelming. | ||
| I'm not sure I can't speak for them, but it's disappointing to see and frustrating, definitely. | ||
| And you said that one of your teammates was crying today because she didn't make the finals. | ||
| You said that she was 17th? | ||
| Yes. And there were 16 spots? | ||
| Yes. So Leah Thomas took one of those spots. | ||
| Talk to us about what your teammate was going through and that experience. | ||
| She was very emotional and it's hard to see because it's her last NCAAs and she really loves that race and it was just heartbreaking to see that she put all her effort into it today and when the best time that she went in a morning session before and still not make it back. | ||
| It's hard to see someone who works every day, every night, still not be able to compete against someone like that. | ||
| Yeah, another just transphobic hater. | ||
| Just somebody filled with hate there who just despises trans people for no reason at all. | ||
| They're speaking out against Leah Thomas. | ||
| I mean, it's a ridiculous and outrageous claim, and it only possibly exists because of the extremely well-constructed apparatus of thought control that this media has fixed on the American people. | ||
| Because again, there's another video here I guess we have time for. | ||
| Let's go ahead and go to... Clip number 15, because again, this is Savannah Hernandez, and by the way, you can follow her on Twitter at rapidfire underscore pod. | ||
| Rapidfire underscore pod is her Twitter handle where she's been posting these videos, so credit to her being on the road and getting this on the ground reporting. | ||
| Let's go to clip 15 here, because 16 NCAA athletes signed a letter asking the group to be their voice and to fight for them against the intrusion on women's sports by... | ||
| Biological, physical men. | ||
| But of course they have to do it anonymously. | ||
| Because if they were to put their names to this, if they were to expose who they were in their opposition to this, their lives would be destroyed. | ||
| And I don't just mean that they would get mean tweets. | ||
| I mean their friends and family, their teammates will turn on them. | ||
| They will ostracize them. | ||
| They will lose the You know, a reward of being on the swim team. | ||
| They may be kicked off the swim team. | ||
| The swim team itself may have to cancel their season or something. | ||
| And then all of these girls' futures will be in jeopardy and all be blamed on the person who complained about this, who actually brought up the fact, hey, we're being abused and we're being victimized here. | ||
| Their life will be... Literally destroyed. | ||
| I mean, the media will go after them. | ||
| They'll start looking into all their social media. | ||
| They'll send their little attack dogs to them. | ||
| They'll get death threats. The media will never report on the death threats. | ||
| The media will never report on the vicious backlash they're facing because they think they deserve it. | ||
| So it's just a horrific and vicious world that we're creating where supposed victimhood... | ||
| Because compare this to the story that we covered a few weeks ago about the gymnastics team. | ||
| In California, where one of the black gymnasts apparently, according to her, overheard a white teammate who had headphones in and was singing along to a rap song say the lyrics of the rap song that had the N-word in it. | ||
| Remember, she saw that. She felt victimized by that. | ||
| She spoke up about it, and the whole... | ||
| The whole team had to, like, they brought in counselors, and the administration had to get involved, and the coach got fired, and the season got canceled, and they apologized, and they tried to make it up to this poor, victimized black girl, and then they said, it's not enough. | ||
| We need more. We need a truth and reconciliation commission. | ||
| And they pushed it even farther. | ||
| So it's like, if you complain about overhearing a teammate possibly using a racial slur as part of a song, right, not calling somebody a racial slur, like, that's one thing, Even then, you know, it's not worth destroying an elite-level gymnastics team over. | ||
| But even if that was the case, like, you'd have something. | ||
| But no, this is a... And so, you know, you complain about that and the media is there to kiss your feet. | ||
| The administration is there to hold your hand and to, you know, pat your head and tell you everything's going to be okay. | ||
| And what can we do for you? Do you need $100,000? | ||
| Do you need, do we need to hire more? | ||
| Who can we fire for you? | ||
| I mean, what can we do to help you because you feel victimized by randomly overhearing a teammate say a rap lyric? | ||
| That's how it's treated if you complain, if you say you're victimized on the left and in line with their narrative. | ||
| If, however, you say, hey, my life's goal and my highest achievement in life has been robbed from me because this man who wouldn't even qualify to swim with the men in the men's division just ripped it out of my hands and stole it from me, your life will be destroyed. | ||
| It's a little bit different. Depending on where you're coming from, depending on where the complaints are coming from, depending on what the... | ||
| It's just sickening and horrific. | ||
| And of course, it's just one data point in a constellation of insanity going on in this country right now, all focused and central on this idea of transgenderism, the transgender kids bill. | ||
| Oh, you're a transphobic hater if you say that I can't teach a kindergartner to secretly wear a dress and don't tell their parents. | ||
| What is going on here? You have this story as well from Infowars. | ||
| Oregon's top children's hospital teaches young boys to tuck their genitals and directs kids to sex toy and porn shops. | ||
| Portland, Oregon's Dornbecker Children's Hospital, a self-declared top children's hospital in Oregon, is being criticized for providing children with disturbing sexual material. | ||
| Like, what links these things together? | ||
| What links together... You know, forcing men onto women's teams to obliterate them with teaching children in school to be transgender to hospitals themselves, not caring for the health of the child, mental or physical, but actually indoctrinating them into this death cult, which, by the way, in case you're not aware of this, Pre-transition, post-transition, pre-surgery, post-surgery, it doesn't matter. | ||
| Suicide rate is 41% amongst the trans community. | ||
| It was a few years ago. | ||
| I think it may be higher now, maybe something like 50%. | ||
| Again, this is completely independent of how accepting your community is, the cultural reality around transgenderism, whether you've had the surgery or not. | ||
| It's a death cult. So you've got children being indoctrinated into a death cult by their schools or by their hospitals. | ||
| The parents just don't want to lord over their children and force them to be a certain way, so they tend to go along with this not realizing your child is being attacked. | ||
| They're being indoctrinated into a death cult. | ||
| Their lives are being ruined. | ||
| You have to stop this, folks. | ||
|

|
All right, folks. | |
| We're going to move on now. - Come on. | ||
| Away from the Psychological operation that's tearing us apart from the inside and moving to the open warfare that threatens to vaporize us all into radioactive dust. | ||
| I don't think that's too extreme of a statement right now. | ||
| And I'm going to show you some clips from a speech that Putin gave yesterday. | ||
| Here's the story from CNN. Putin's chilling warning to Russian traitors and scum is a sign things aren't going to plan. | ||
| Okay, sure. | ||
| Sure it is. Tell me if that's the feeling you get as we watch these clips. | ||
| Let's first go to number 12 here, Putin's speech yesterday. | ||
| Yes, of course, they, the West, will bet on the so-called fifth column, on national traders, on those who earn money here with us, but live there. | ||
| And they live not in the geographical sense of the word, but according to their thoughts, according to their slavish consciousness. | ||
| I do not at all judge those who have a villa in Miami or on the French Riviera, of course he's talking about Zelensky, who has both those things, who can't do without foie gras, oysters, or so-called gender freedoms. | ||
| But the issue here is not in that, but in the fact that many of these people, by their very nature, are mentally located exactly there and not here, not with our people, not with Russia. | ||
| This is, in their opinion, a sign of belonging to a higher caste, to a higher race. | ||
| Such people are ready to sell their own mother if only they were allowed to sit in the hallway of this very highest caste. | ||
| They want to be like her, meaning caste, imitating her in every possible way. | ||
| Yet they forget or do not understand at all that if they are needed by this so-called higher caste, they need it only as an expendable material in order to use them to inflict maximum damage on our people. | ||
| The collective West is trying to split our society, speculating on the combat losses, on the socioeconomic consequences of sanctions, provoking a civil confrontation in Russia and using its fifth column to achieve its goal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The column is aiming to achieve its goal. | |
| There's only one goal. | ||
| I've already spoken about it. | ||
| The destruction of Russia. But any people, and even more so the Russian people, will be able to distinguish true patriots from scum and traitors. | ||
| And simply spit them out like a midge that accidentally flies into their mouth. | ||
| Spit out on the pavement. | ||
| I'm convinced that such a natural and necessary self-purification of society will only strengthen our country, our solidarity, cohesion and readiness to respond to any challenges. | ||
| So. | ||
| Man, so what he's laying out there is obviously just the case for nationalism, right? | ||
| It's the case for, again, where does sovereignty lie? | ||
| It's a major question these days. | ||
| Does it lie in whatever corporations can get away with? | ||
| Does it lie in supranational organizations in which the people have no say? | ||
| Does it lie in unelected Oligarchs appointed like Victoria Nuland to position after position for 30 years, never having to answer for her decisions to the American people. | ||
| Or does it lie in the people themselves, as expressed legitimately through elections, where they choose their representation in the government? | ||
| Because, to me, that's the only legitimate way to form a government. | ||
| Sort of what America's all about. | ||
| It's actually extremely legitimate. | ||
| Thoroughly laid out in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. | ||
| That's what I believe. | ||
| That's what we believe. And if you're American, you should prioritize Americans. | ||
| Just like any other family. | ||
| A nation is just an extended family. | ||
| When it comes to my family, I choose my family over anybody else. | ||
| It's a question as to... | ||
| Who gets a benefit? I'm going to choose my family, my child, my wife, my sisters, my mother, my father. | ||
| That's my family, and I prioritize them. | ||
| Does that mean I hate my neighbor because he's not my family? | ||
| No, of course not. In fact, it's best for my family if my neighbor's doing well. | ||
| I don't want to live next to a cracked den or some desperate, violent family. | ||
| I want everybody to do well, but I'm not going to prioritize them over my family, and that's the way that nations should work as well. | ||
| But he's also laying out That essentially our enemy is the dark side. | ||
| They're the dark side of the force, right? | ||
| Because the dark side, this evil Satan, gives you whatever you want, right? | ||
| Yeah, I'm doing a Star Wars metaphor here. | ||
| That's because it struck me as to what Vladimir Putin was saying, where he's saying they do this, they are traitors to their own people, because they are desperate for the power that they get by joining this elite international class, globalist class, like Zelensky, who has villas in the French Riviera and in Miami, worth millions and millions of dollars. | ||
| So if Ukraine goes down, yeah, he just jets out of there. | ||
| Yeah, he gets out of there. And he's saying, the power that you have with these people is the power to serve these people. | ||
| Right? So, you know, again, in Star Wars, you know, Darth Vader was seduced because he wanted to save someone's life, right? | ||
| The dark side told him, oh, if you follow us, then we'll give you the secrets to immortal life and you'll be able to save your wife from dying. | ||
| So he gives himself over to the dark side. | ||
| And then they have him, and then his wife dies, and he's turned into a robot, and he serves the emperor, and he doesn't get what he wanted. | ||
| It was a lie. | ||
| It was a seduction. Now that they've got you, you serve them, and you don't get anything from it. | ||
| You don't get any benefits because he wanted to save his wife. | ||
| Now, when it came to the emperor, the emperor wanted power, right? | ||
| When he kind of got power, right? | ||
| He became the emperor of the universe. | ||
| But at the end of the day... He doesn't have any power because he himself is a subject to the evil that gave him his power in the first place. | ||
| I know it's so childish to make these pop culture analysis, but that's what came to my mind when hearing Putin talk about this because that's the easiest way to understand it. | ||
| They'll go, you serve us and we'll give you infinite power, but it's not power for you. | ||
| It's not power to aggrandize you. | ||
| You are now a subject and a slave to that power and it will use you To embolden itself and empower itself and if you ever try to counter it or take it for yourself, they'll destroy you because they're the source of your power. | ||
| That's the way that the elite works. | ||
| I mean it's just basic primordial evil that we see expressed in pop culture because it exists as a reality in the collective human subconscious that we all recognize that this is the way evil works. | ||
| And even the power that they give you is illusionary and false because you serve the greater force of the evil, in this case the globalists, that Putin is pointing out. | ||
| Let's go to clip number 11 here. | ||
| See another section of this speech by Putin. | ||
| He says, I want ordinary citizens of Western states to hear me too. | ||
| They're now trying to convince you that all of your difficulties are the result of some hostile actions of Russia, that from your wallet you need to pay for the fight against the mythical Russian threat. | ||
| It's all a lie. | ||
| And the truth is that the problems faced by millions of people in the West are the result of years of actions by the ruling elites of the West. | ||
| They're mistakes, myopia, and ambitions. | ||
| These elites are not thinking about how to improve the lives of the citizens. | ||
| They are obsessed with their selfish interests and super-profits. | ||
| Where is the lie, folks? | ||
| Where is the lie? We know the problems that we're facing are caused directly by the elites that deign to rule our country. | ||
| We know it's because they prioritize their own personal aggrandizement. | ||
| Over their citizens. In fact, they see their citizens as nothing more than a weapon, a tool, or a herd of cattle to be exploited to their own benefit. | ||
| That's exactly what's happening. | ||
| And of course, it's completely contrary to the concept of nationalism or responsible governance, where your highest priority should be serving the people that got you elected. | ||
| And just to emphasize that point, here's a story from yesterday on the Hill. | ||
| Where they ask, could price controls be the answer to inflation that Biden is seeking? | ||
| We've covered more than enough the fact that the Fed purposefully brought about the inflation. | ||
| They said, we are trying to create inflation here. | ||
| We will start inflation once it started. | ||
| Everybody says, is this a good idea? | ||
| They said, yes, we're going to keep our foot on the pedal. | ||
| We're going to keep creating this inflation. | ||
| They created the inflation. | ||
| They did the lockdowns. | ||
| They shut down the economy. | ||
| They kept the ports closed. | ||
| They caused the supply chain crisis. | ||
| They did all of this. | ||
| And then they go, oh, man, it looks like you're really suffering. | ||
| You know what the solution is? | ||
| Maybe we should just control everything. | ||
| Maybe price controls. Maybe we, the people who did this to you, should now be in total control of all of the prices. | ||
| They caused the problem, and then their solution is to give them more power. | ||
| It's the simplest dichotomy in the book, right? | ||
| Let's go to this final clip from Vladimir Putin. | ||
| That actually is chilling. | ||
| Clip 10. He says, I have some important words for those who may feel tempted to interfere in the current events. | ||
| Whoever it is that tries to interfere, moreover, to create a further threat to our country and our people, you must understand Russia's response will be immediate. | ||
| You will suffer such losses that you and your entire history have never seen, unlike Russia. | ||
| We are prepared for any eventuality that occurs. | ||
| All the decisions that are required have already been made. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, that's chilling. You're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | |
| Watch it live right now at Banned.video He's a war criminal, sir. Oh, I think he is a war criminal. | ||
| Further escalation of the war, whether by accident or design, threatens all of humanity. | ||
| Raising the alert of Russian nuclear forces is a bone-chilling development. | ||
| The prospect of nuclear conflict, once unthinkable, is now back within the realm of possibility. | ||
| Bare minimum, this is how you get a massive war with hundreds of thousands of dead Western and Russian troops. | ||
| And so this is the very scenario, scenario number two, that most international An intelligence agency war games and Defense Department war games show will trigger nuclear war. | ||
| Number one is Pakistan and India. | ||
| Number two is the Ukrainian situation called the NATO-Ukraine-Russia war scenario that kills a billion people on the low end. | ||
| And then the third scenario is the South China Sea, Taiwan, Hong Kong crisis being kicked off there that could happen between Vietnam and the Philippines against China. | ||
| Anything can kick it off where we already see skirmishes going on overall. | ||
| These drilling rigs in the South China Sea and other areas, the artificial islands the Chinese are building. | ||
| So that's where the world is right now. | ||
| That's the reality. So when you see leftists calling for war, and when you see right-wingers calling for war and all this idiocy, you know the old saying, World War III will be fought with nuclear weapons, World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham suggesting the Russian people get rid of him. | |
| You need to take this guy out by any means possible. | ||
| Putin is trying to fake the trap so that we go in, and that could be the beginning of World War III. Putin, totally irresponsible, using weapons that are not allowed under the Geneva Convention. | ||
| Putin, who threatens using chemical weapons, nuclear and the rest. | ||
| Myself, when I see that those tanks, that 40 miles of tanks, I like to take out those tanks. | ||
| I mean, I think that having more planes might be useful, but I'm not a military strategist. | ||
| And Russia now announcing they're likely to ban exports of wheat and oats and buckwheat and other grains all the way through June 30th. | ||
| And that's on top of, of course, Ukraine banning the exports of all those grains and Hungary banning exports of wheat. | ||
| Why is this happening? These countries know that there's a global shortage and that they have to protect their domestic supply. | ||
| Now, China was very smart about this strategically. | ||
| They bought up grain supplies around the world over the last, let's say, eight months or so. | ||
| They're sitting on about 18 months of wheat right now. | ||
| But the United States does not have really a strategic grain supply. | ||
| We're going to be facing severe shortages and price inflation in the grocery stores hitting the US in the second half of this year accelerating from about August all the way through the end of the year but I think what we're going to see in the United States is that The prices will get so high on not only grains, but then meat and dairy and eggs because all of those products come from animals that are fed the grains. | ||
| So most of the grains in the world are actually grown to feed animals, not to feed people. | ||
| So we're going to see huge increases in meat prices beyond what we've seen already. | ||
| So flash mobs are going to start looting grocery stores in huge numbers and stealing the meat primarily. | ||
| But just the food rationing, they will have to implement food rationing passports, which is a mark of the beast system to verify your identity. | ||
| It might be a face scan, an iris scan, a thumbprint scan, or maybe just your mobile phone that's tied to your identity. | ||
| There's going to be more stimulus money handed out. | ||
| And the money to buy groceries. | ||
| There are going to be at least 10 million more Americans put on food stamps. | ||
| Eventually, maybe in 23 or 24, they'll say that if you want to buy food under the food rationing system, you must use the central bank digital dollar control system. | ||
| And that's how they're going to starve people into the mark of the beast, Federal Reserve crypto system controlled by the government. | ||
| So they're going to say we're terrorists and we're Russian sympathizers. | ||
| Okay, so this is all a way to internationally take over, create a global crisis on the heels of the police state already set up under COVID-19 and now just roll that in to outlaw their opposition. | ||
| So this is banking, technocratic, fifth, sixth generational warfare. | ||

| Thank you so much for joining us, Tyler. | ||
| Thanks, Harrison. Glad to be here. | ||
| And as you were saying before, look, here's why it's more important than ever to make sure you're not paying any more than you need to in taxes, okay? | ||
| Because when you pay your taxes, you're supporting what the regime does, okay? | ||
| And right now, there's a triple attack on the American citizen, right? | ||
| So we have the war in Ukraine. | ||
| We have inflation. | ||
| You know, the government's printed off more money in the last two years than has ever existed ever. | ||
| And on top of that, now they want to tax you more. | ||
| And Biden has been trying to raise taxes on the populace since he got into office, but he hasn't been successful. | ||
| But I believe now he's got a great excuse to this war, and it's going to happen. | ||
| So what we want to do is make sure that you're paying the least amount of taxes possible, and you're not supporting these people you don't agree with. | ||
| Because you may not have heard about it. | ||
| But you know there's actually a taxpayer bill of rights, okay? | ||
| As a taxpayer, just like as an American citizen, you have the right to pay the least amount of taxes physically possible. | ||
| What that means is take advantage of all the deductions, all the loopholes that do exist in the code. | ||
| And that's your right as a taxpayer also to have the correct representation to do so. | ||
| Because classically, and I've said this before, classically in this country, the only people who have the proper representation and pay the least amount of taxes are the globalists, are the elitists, the ultra wealthy who can afford and know about these things. | ||
| And so what we aim to do is to provide to the regular citizen, the middle class, the every man out there, the same type of services and excellent tax reduction strategies that exist on the globalist scale and replicate them for the American citizen. | ||
| Well, I completely agree. | ||
| And you've answered once my question. | ||
| My real question was like, do we really have to pay taxes with hundreds of billions going to weapons manufacturers and the borders open? | ||
| Nothing the government's doing is for me or in my favor, so do I have to? | ||
| You sort of answered some of that, but... | ||
| It happened with COVID especially. | ||
| It was like, we still had to pay taxes. | ||
| We still had to do everything that the government wanted us to. | ||
| But then they would just sort of arbitrarily go, yeah, we're not picking up trash anymore. | ||
| They did that nonsense. It's just like, we're not doing what we're obligated to do, but you still have to do what you're obligated to do. | ||
| And this is a way to fight back sort of against that. | ||
| Absolutely, because every dollar of your taxes, you know, a portion of that goes to Ukraine now, a portion of that goes to NATO, a portion that goes to entitlements for the rest of the people that don't want to work, you know, so that the government can print off more money. | ||
| And if you look historically in this country, you know, When we talk about non-violent protests, we're talking about MLK, Mahatma Gandhi, some of the most successful protests in the entire world. | ||
| Well, a common way to protest war, to protest the regime, is to pay the least amount of taxes possible. | ||
| And if you do want to get into civil disobedience, which works sometimes, but keep in mind, they will come after you. | ||
| Right. There are people who say, hey, I conscientiously object with this war, therefore I cannot pay any taxes to do that. | ||
| Now, as a tax professional, it is my legal duty to tell you that that is illegal and they will come after you. | ||
| So the better way to do it is to pay the least amount as legally possible. | ||
| Because then you are helping the bare minimum because we don't agree with what's going on and that's all we can really do about it. | ||
| But the thing is this, Harrison. | ||
| When you fill out your taxes yourself, if you don't have representation, you don't know what you're missing out on. | ||
| Let's say you just go down to the neighborhood tax shop and they fill out your yearly taxes. | ||
| They're going to give you some deductions, but they're not going to give you all of them. | ||
| They're not advocates, okay? | ||
| Right. The CPA is designed to play by the rules and the government is the one that came out with the rules. | ||
| But that's whose rules we have a problem with. | ||
| So what you need is an advocate, someone who's going to fight on your side and help you pay the least amount of taxes as legally possible. | ||
| Right. And I think, you know, I'm in a boat. | ||
| Maybe I'm unique in this, but I think there's probably a lot of people out there too. | ||
| I despise taxes. | ||
| I hate them with every fiber of my being. | ||
| And so when it's time for me to do my taxes, I can't even be bothered to like go through and find deductions and look at the tax code. | ||
| It's just like even just talking about it. | ||
| I just, you know, I'll just like check the box. | ||
| Here's how much I make. Take what you want. | ||
| Just leave me alone. But that's really like I'm really just hurting myself, aren't I? 100%. | ||
| And here's the interesting thing, right? | ||
| So the tax code is plus or minus 20,000 pages that changes every few years. | ||
| So it's basically impossible to keep up on it unless it is what you do as a full-time job, like what I do, all right? | ||
| Now, excuse me. | ||
| Yeah, I am. So the other thing is when there's that much tax law out there, you can't go into, and I don't want to use any company's names here, but we all know who I'm talking about. | ||
| Let's say you go to the neighborhood tax shop and they fill in on the computer, right? | ||
| Right. Here's the thing about those companies. | ||
| They are not really tax companies. | ||
| They are technology companies. | ||
| And they are some of the largest technology companies in the world. | ||
| And so what happens when you go in there and say, hey, I want to fill out my 1040? | ||
| You're not dealing with a tax professional. | ||
| You're dealing with a clerk that knows how to operate the software. | ||
| And so, you know, let's just say the block or places like that. | ||
| You go in there and you're dealing with somebody who's Not even knowledgeable in what deductions you might have for your specific, you know, occupation. | ||
| See, you are different than everybody else in this country, and so is everyone else. | ||
| Everyone is unique. And because of that, you need someone to look at your unique situation, not just say, okay, you're another piece of data to input into the computer program. | ||
| Right. Tyler, I'm an artist. | ||
| You know, that's my excuse for not wanting to get involved in all the business side of things. | ||
| Mostly, it's actually just laziness and ignorance about how it actually works. | ||
| But I know, you know, a lot of people, in order to pay the least on taxes, they'll start a business, they'll operate under a business name so they can take business deductions. | ||
| Again, me and my artistic soul That means filling out forms and doing things on a calculator. | ||
| I'm not interested in that. | ||
| I understand that the business taxes are the place where the deductions really come in heavy. | ||
| Is it possible to do that just as a normal person that gets a regular paycheck? | ||
| Are there still deductions and stuff I can be taking? | ||
| It is. There are. | ||
| Here's the thing. Since the standard deduction was developed and the reason why they came out with the standard deduction, then sure, they'll tell you they wanted to make it easy. | ||
| No, they don't trust the average citizen to come up with their own deductions. | ||
| So that's why to surmount the standard deduction and take what's called Schedule A deductions, if you don't have a small business, you either have to have an expensive mortgage or some way to get past that $12,500 because the government does not trust you to do that math. | ||
| Now, the reason businesses are able to do it is because the actual definition of a deduction, a tax deduction, is... | ||
| It's an expense incurred in the pursuit of profit, okay? | ||
| So if you are spending money trying to make a profit, that is, by definition, a deduction. | ||
| And so here's the thing. Most people are paid as employees on a W-2, okay? | ||
| That means... Courtney, definitely, you are an employee, not a small business, and you don't have access to those same deductions. | ||
| Does that mean we can't use them? | ||
| Well, no, we absolutely can use them because what we're going to do is we're going to open up a side hustle. | ||
| We're going to contribute to your retirement accounts. | ||
| We're going to do whatever we can to lower your taxable income. | ||
| And the side hustle, especially if you're making a lot of money on a W-2, And don't have a plethora of deductions otherwise available to you, a side hustle is great where you can use the hobby rules to suck up a massive amount of losses. | ||
| Right, and that's what it's all about, right, is taking advantage of these laws that the wealthy are able to take advantage of because they have the concerted professionals who understand this stuff. | ||
| Well, you can get access to the professionals just like they have by going to jonestaxrelief.com. | ||
| More with Tyler Bennett on the other side. | ||
| I have a lot of questions about taxes. | ||
| There's a lot I don't understand about taxes, so this will be an informative hour, folks. | ||

| Absolutely, Harrison. So let me just say this. | ||
| Yes, so members of the Infowars Nation, we are here to save you the most amount of money possible, okay? | ||
| And listen, when we talk about tax issues, there's a plethora of different things. | ||
| We really only come in three varieties, okay? | ||
| You have the past, you have the present, and you have the future, okay? | ||
| Okay, so what I mean is in the past, let's say you already owe money. | ||
| The government's already coming after you. | ||
| They may be sending revenue officers out to your house to harass you, that kind of thing, and we can put that to a stop immediately. | ||
| Harris, let me ask you a question. Have you ever been to a revenue officer's office? | ||
| No, thank God. | ||
| I have, and let me tell you, have you ever been to a prison? | ||
| It's about the same thing. | ||
| They lock you in a steel room, they turn on a tape recorder, and that's it. | ||
| And it's like, if you didn't show up with counsel, well, everything you said is on the record now. | ||
| And they treat you like a criminal, okay? | ||
| And the thing I want to remind people is... | ||
| It's not illegal to owe taxes. | ||
| Where they get you is not filing. | ||
| You have a legal requirement to file. | ||
| So like I said, let's say you owe money in the past. | ||
| They're harassing you. We can put that to a stop. | ||
| We can settle that debt for you. | ||
| A lot of our clients were able to settle 10% on the dollar. | ||
| Sometimes even more or less depending on your economic situation. | ||
| The more dire straits your economic situation is, the better of a deal you're going to get. | ||
| But let's say You have a present problem, okay? | ||
| And what that means is you need filing right now. | ||
| You need to file for this year. | ||
| Like we were talking about before, how you're going to hurt yourself is by doing it yourself or going to an underqualified organization to find some deductions for you and charge you You know, $400 or $500 for the privilege when you need an advocate to make sure they're going in there and taking every last penny that you don't have to pay out of your taxes, right? So that's present this year. | ||
| And then also... Honestly, most importantly, is the future, right? | ||
| So you're going to make more money in the future going on. | ||
| So for the small business owners out there, independent contractors, even employees that are making more money now and next year than they have in the past and they're not in the proper entity set up, That's what we specialize in. | ||
| So let's say, you know, you started a business, you're making more money than you did before, and you're like, uh-oh, I'm going to get hit up with a huge tax bill unless you're in the proper type of entity, structure, setup, paying yourself on payroll, etc., etc. | ||
| Now, these are all kind of complex services to talk about, but the idea is this, is you wanna be paying the least amount of money going forward, right? | ||
| So in the past, let's reduce that debt. | ||
| In the present, let's have that tax return showing the smallest number on the bottom as possible. | ||
| And for the future, let's set up the correct type of corporate structuring and use trusts, LLCs, everything at our disposal, Because remember, in the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, it's your right to pay the least amount of tax legally possible. | ||
| But you can use everything in our disposal, and we do. | ||
| And it's, you know, the classic saying is taxation is theft. | ||
| So this is just like, they're going to rob you, so just make sure they get as little as possible. | ||
| It's like when... | ||
| It's like my uncle on Halloween used to have a giant glass jar full of money, but at the very top it was a tiny little hole, and so kids would reach in and grab a big handful, but by the time they got out, there'd only be a little tiny bit left, right? | ||
| So it's about limiting the aperture through which they can reach in and grab your money to just make sure they come out with as little as possible, because they're going to come out with something. | ||
| Right, Harrison. And that's a great analogy for what deductions are. | ||
| Because at the top, when you just make money, right, that's reported to the IRS. And let's say you don't file taxes, they'll eventually file for you. | ||
| And they're not going to give you any deductions, right? | ||
| We start out with your income that you made. | ||
| Now the difference between your top-of-the-line income and your AGI at the bottom of your return is all the deductions that you can take, right? | ||
| So... The thing is, yes, they're going to stick their hand in there for that entire amount. | ||
| But as long as we can keep the deductions coming, they will only be able to get so much. | ||
| And here's the other thing, Harrison, is we know the dollar's worth less and less every day. | ||
| Right. So that means that tax deferral, paying your taxes later rather than now, now legally so you don't get charged penalties and interest, is always a win. | ||
| Because if I can pay my tax debt tomorrow, next week, next year, it's necessarily less money because the dollar's worth less. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So you're taking these things like inflation or the tax code, which in most times only cause bad things. | ||
| And you're sort of turning it to judo. | ||
| You're turning it to your favor. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| So in this in this crazy world we live in with all this stuff happening, just like the globalists and the elitists use it to their advantage all the time. | ||
| They're always making money. | ||
| Listen, we can to use it to our advantage to pay the least amount of taxes as possible. | ||
| Another thing I want to say is the IRS only knows what you or somebody else tell them. | ||
| That has always been true, right? | ||
| And now that's why Biden has passed a few bills successfully and wants more because he wants banks, he wants Zelle, he wants Etsy to report everything because instead of going after the billionaires, they want to go after the middle class for the $600 they made selling something on eBay. | ||
| Yeah, it's ridiculous. | ||
| You know, what's the saying? There's only two certainties, death and taxes. | ||
| I'm not sure which one I dislike more. | ||
| I mean, I despise taxes. | ||
| But, and again, it's like, you know, I guess my ignorance is probably costing me money, actually. | ||
| But there's all sorts of little tricks that you can do, right? | ||
| I don't know if tricks is the right word, but... | ||
| There's this arcanium that goes on, this occult understanding where if it's a gift, it's charged this much, but if it's a payment, it's charged this much. | ||
| And it might seem arbitrary to you, but it comes time to pay your taxes. | ||
| That can actually have an effect how you phrase things when you're reporting it, where things are going, whether you're spending it at this store or this store. | ||
| I mean, these types of minutiae, which... | ||
| You know, I don't pay attention to are actually pretty important, right? | ||
| Absolutely. And the thing is this, is it used to be your, you know, you got to say which one, hey, I got these as gifts, this is income, and you got to make that decision. | ||
| Right now, the IRS is saying everything is income, prove to us that it's a gift. | ||
| Because the thing about gifts is the person who receives the gift doesn't pay anything in taxes. | ||
| Gift tax is on the gift tour. | ||
| And there's also really high limits, etc. | ||
| So, for example, you don't pay gift tax until your gift exceeds $15,000 this year. | ||
| But when you do, if I give you a gift, you're not paying the gift tax. | ||
| I am. And so why that's important is because on the 1099, it's still as income for you. | ||
| And now it's your obligation to make the assertion that it was a gift and not income. | ||
| Whereas before, you didn't have to do that because Biden really wants to come after you. | ||
| Right, yeah. And we've reported on some of these changes too. | ||
| Like you said, $600 of transactions in an entire year. | ||
| They want you to report that. | ||
| So they're rapidly changing laws that will cost you money unless you have somebody who is aware of what is changing and how to combat it. | ||

You're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | |
| Watch it live right now at band.video. | ||
| Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| This is The American Journal. | ||
| I'm your host, Harrison Smith. My guest is Tyler Bennett. | ||
| He's helping us out with jonestaxrelief.com. | ||
| Now, InfoWars has partnered up with jonestaxrelief.com. | ||
| You can call them at 1-833-900-4285. | ||
| That's 1-833-900-4285. | ||
| I was saying during the break, you know, sometimes I'll have guests and I understand the topic that they discuss. | ||
| And so, you know, sometimes I'll ask questions that I already know the answer to just sort of get the conversation going or I'll play devil's advocate. | ||
| And, you know, I'll say, well, what do you say to people who say this? | ||
| Luckily for us, I know nothing about taxes. | ||
| I'm not feigning ignorance here. | ||
| I literally don't understand taxes at all. | ||
| So I'm just enjoying having you here to ask questions to. | ||
| I've been taking notes the whole time and I hope other people as well. | ||
| And so for people out there like myself, I know we've sort of covered this, but You know, what can you do for them, or what danger are they facing? | ||
| Like, what horror stories do you have of people who go, I just don't hate taxes, so I never paid attention, and then suddenly the chickens come home to roost ten years later, or, like, you know, what am I being set up for by just sort of trying as best I can to ignore taxes? | ||
| Yes, Harrison. So, yeah, first of all, they are very aggressive and will do incredible things. | ||
| And I'll talk about that in just one second. | ||
| But you were talking about how you don't know that much about taxes. | ||
| Listen, that is the regular person out there because they don't teach taxes in school. | ||
| Like, they should, right? | ||
| You learn a lot of stuff in school that you may probably never use the rest of your life. | ||
| But for some reason, they don't really teach financial planning. | ||
| They don't teach taxes, which is crazy. | ||
| So you grew up an adult, and probably the first tax return you ever file is when your first job, and good luck, you know? | ||
| That's always a rude awakening, isn't it? | ||
| Exactly. So that's how it starts. | ||
| But let me tell you what's going on right now that is... | ||
| Pretty terrifying. So the IRS has made the declaration that they are coming after everyone with crypto assets. | ||
| And just because you hold crypto as an American investor, not breaking any rules at all, they have already pinned you out as a potential criminal and they are increasing their auditing effect. | ||
| Excuse me, efforts on anybody that has cryptocurrency. | ||
| So when you see it, they've had in the 1040, that's the income tax return, for many years now, that little box to check to say, do you have crypto assets? | ||
| And so that's the first step. | ||
| Let's say you said no and you do. | ||
| Well, now they can come after you. | ||
| But let's say you say yes, now they also are going to come after you. | ||
| Because they think that crypto, everyone that has crypto is a criminal, is trying to not pay taxes and is trying to basically evade taxes. | ||
| So let me talk about tax avoidance versus tax evasion, right? | ||
| Okay. Tax evasion is when I willfully break the law to not pay taxes. | ||
| And that's a felony, okay? | ||
| And you're going to go to jail for that, so don't do it. | ||
| Tax avoidance is literally the exact same thing, but we're using the law to our benefit. | ||
| They pay the least amount of taxes, and that's the side you want to stand. | ||
| So just because we're able to use the loopholes that exist in crypto right now, and if you're part of the crypto space, you know the kinds of things I'm talking about, wash sales, etc. | ||
| If you don't, give us a call. | ||
| We'd love to help you out. | ||
| But the Biden administration, the IRS right now, is going to label you a criminal, and if you do something slightly wrong, you're going to get hit with a penalty. | ||
| Right, right, because it's like, I mean, it's a classic thing with the government, right? | ||
| If you try to get something from them, it's like, well, give us four weeks, and then it turns out that we lost it, and then, you know, well, you can't get it because we just don't want to give it to you, and it's, you know, you try to get something from them, and it's like trying to, you know, get water from a stone. | ||
| It's just not going to work. But when it comes to you, you better have all your stuff together. | ||
| You better get it in on time. | ||
| Right. That's what frustrates me about taxes is it would be one thing if somebody came to me and said, here's how much you owe in taxes, but they want you to report it, then they want you to send in your money, and they are just going to sit back and let the cash come in unless you mess up, in which case they send the thugs after you. | ||
| So, yeah, I... Like I said, I don't understand it. | ||
| And they are vicious. | ||
| They will viciously go after you if you don't do things right. | ||
| Viciously hound you. And let me tell you some stories. | ||
| So something the IRS likes to do if you owe over $50,000, but I've seen even less, is they will revoke your passport. | ||
| They will take away your right to travel. | ||
| They'll take away your constitutional right to travel. | ||
| And if that has happened to you, I can get your passport back very quickly because they know they did wrong. | ||
| But that's The kind of thing is the IRS and the people who collect and the people that are going to attack you, they're not attorneys. | ||
| They operate off of a guidebook called the Internal Revenue Manual. | ||
| And they operate under the guise of the law, but they are not attorneys. | ||
| So they don't know what they're doing if they might be breaking the law, violating your rights. | ||
| In a lot of situations, they are. | ||
| And when we can point that out to them, Then they have to give you your rights back. | ||
| I mean, they have to backtrack because they broke the law. | ||
| They sort of depend on your ignorance, right? | ||
| Exactly. And this is sort of the same thing, like it reminds me, and of course, the American government treats us all like we're criminals already. | ||
| So it makes sense that it's like you should know your rights when you're interacting with a police officer. | ||
| Because if you don't know and assert your rights, then they may be violating them and you don't even know. | ||
| So they depend on your ignorance, which is why they don't teach it in school. | ||
| And so really by learning this stuff and by equipping yourself with the information that you need, You're able to actually hold them to account rather than them just running roughshod and doing whatever they can get away with. | ||
| Absolutely. And it's the exact same legal concept as with police, right? | ||
| So the government is able to violate your rights with a concept they call consent, right? | ||
| If you don't know your rights and you consent to have your rights violated, well, you consented to it. | ||
| But guess what? You didn't know that you were consenting or you didn't know you had the right not to consent. | ||
| When a police officer comes up to you and says, hey, can I search your car? | ||
| You're not thinking... Oh, well, I don't have to do this. | ||
| The same thing is true when the IRS comes to your door and says, hey, we want to look inside your house. | ||
| Hey, we want to see your business. | ||
| We want to take inventory of everything you have. | ||
| Fascinating. And I know you're talking about Bitcoin. | ||
| I keep seeing commercials for these big box store tax organizations. | ||
| And I guess this is the thing they're pushing now is they're like... | ||
| Things are more complicated now, and they probably are. | ||
| People have cash. They have credit. | ||
| They have crypto. They may have rubles at this point. | ||
| I mean, you know, people's, as our, you know, as the digitization happens and things get more complicated, obviously taxes are going to become more complicated. | ||
| So that's something you guys sort of specialize in, right? | ||
| Absolutely. And let me just say this. | ||
| I would love to buy some rubles right now. | ||
| They can go up in value in a couple years. | ||
| It's awesome. But, yeah, so the thing is, is, Crypto and those types of assets, NFTs, DeFi, it's all brand new. | ||
| And when you go to your classic tax shop, you know, who do you picture? | ||
| You got an old CPA who's, you know, stalwart by the rules, all this stuff. | ||
| But all this stuff is new and it scares them. | ||
| We're not scared of the new world economy. | ||
| This is the future. And absolutely. | ||
| And just along the same vein, you know, we also take cryptocurrency as well because it's like, look, You know, you don't have to pay us in dollars. | ||
| We get it. Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Crypto is another thing I just don't understand. | ||
| Taxes, crypto. I think I'm going to be needing you guys in the future if I don't want to end up going to jail for just refusing to comply with the criminals that call themselves our government. | ||
| But of course, you know, Infowars... | ||
| I've said this many times, but we run by the mantra. | ||
| We can say whatever we want as long as we're telling the truth. | ||
| We try to be as open as possible here, even when it comes to companies that sponsor us or that we partner with. | ||
| We only partner with people that we think are going to benefit our audience, right? | ||
| I mean, we live or die on the trust of our audience. | ||
| If our audience doesn't trust us, they won't support us, and we'll go under. | ||
| That's just how it works. The audience is the only people we need to answer to. | ||
| And so this is something that Alex and everybody here at Infowars... | ||
| Thinks and knows if the InfoWarriors reach out to you guys and get your help, they will benefit massively from it. | ||
| They'll appreciate the help that you're giving. | ||
| And this is something that we believe in. | ||
| And I just want you to talk a little bit to that and, you know, what people out there can... | ||
| Like, why they should trust you, I guess, you know? | ||
| So, before we made this relationship with Infowars, I have saved taxpayers close to $250 million in VAX taxes. | ||
| Take that, Uncle Sam. | ||
| Exactly. In future income taxes, it's almost incalculable because you don't know how much someone's going to make, right? | ||
| Right. But we know they're not getting that either. | ||
| And so, absolutely, for all the info warriors out there, give me a call. | ||
| We'll help you out. For those of you who've already called, you know we've got you. | ||
| We will set you up in a structure that'll be... | ||
| Listen, let me put it to you this way. | ||
| The more separation you have between your money and you, it's protected, okay? | ||
| If your money is right here, it's dangerous, and we will build that wall between you and your money to protect you. | ||
| That's awesome. Yeah, so you're... | ||
| I'll just say this. Screw over Uncle Sam in a legal way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's absolutely right. With his tax bill. | |
| Oh, what a great song. Brilliant. | ||
| Let's hear it for the American Journal crew in the music selection. | ||
| George Harrison was brilliant. Absolutely. | ||
| One for you, 19 for me. | ||
| That's right. Walk down the street, I'll tax your feet. | ||
| Folks, I want you to do something for me. | ||
| You got time on your hands. | ||
| Yeah! Go spend a couple hours at the DMV. Maybe go with something slightly difficult, like you want to register to change the color on your car, and just see the waste, the bureaucratic negligence, the incompetence, where they squeeze you for every penny and everything that you try to do costs some ungodly amount of money. | ||
| I mean, just try to register a used car you bought. | ||
| It'll cost you as much as the used car just to get it registered. | ||
| Go there. Immerse yourself in what our government does on a day-to-day basis, and you'll walk out of there never wanting to pay another penny in taxes again, because it reveals just how incompetent and corrupt our government is. | ||
| I think it's a responsibility of every American citizen to do whatever we can to deprive this cabal of criminals our money. | ||
| And the best way to do that is, of course, to stop them from getting their hands in your pocket with the tax bill and by taxing you. | ||
| You know, into bankruptcy. And one way to do that is to go to jonestaxrelief.com or you can call the phone number 1-833-900-4285. | ||
| And again, whether you're a small business owner, whether you're an independent operator, whether you just get a weekly or monthly paycheck, or whether you're paid by the hour, everybody can benefit by going to jonestaxrelief.com because everybody has something they can do to pay less taxes and deprive these criminals of our hard-earned money. | ||
| So you're right when you called it a cabal, right? | ||
| So since 1913, when the 16th Amendment passed, legalizing the IRS to have an income tax, the code has been written by the elite since 1913 so that it does not affect them, but affects everybody else. | ||
| So the members of the cabal, they are at the top. | ||
| They're not paying what me and you pay in taxes. | ||
| There's two different tax systems in this country. | ||
| The truly elite are able to use the Pay-to-play tax strategies that are typically unavailable unless you are an international. | ||
| Because tax treaties and things like this exist. | ||
| This is how the largest corporations in the world, Apple, Amazon, pay almost nothing in taxes because they're able to use tax treaties across multiple countries and give the IRS the least. | ||
| So let me ask how to take advantage of this sort of stuff because, for example, like just personally, if I didn't do a show every day, I certainly wouldn't get a fancy haircut every month. | ||
| I wouldn't be buying as many ties as I buy or suits that I buy. | ||
| Am I kind of being a sucker because I just pay for this stuff out of my own pocket because I want to put on a good show for the audience, but I'm not taking any of these as deductions. | ||
| Is there a way for me to take these as deductions? | ||
| Well, Well, so that's a great question because especially now in this era of social media and influencers and everybody is making money on social media, right? | ||
| If you're making money on broadcast, clearly you're on broadcast, then like I told you before, The definition of a deduction is an expense incurred in the pursuit of profit. | ||
| So if you need that suit to come on here and talk, then absolutely you do. | ||
| Now, where you do have to be careful is... | ||
| There was, I forget who it was, but it was a Fox News host, and she said, hey, I should be able to write off this dress. | ||
| And the IRS said, no, because you can wear it on the street. | ||
| So, if it's a uniform that you're only ever going to use... | ||
| It doesn't have a place to wear on the street. | ||
| It's 100% deductible. | ||
| If it is, then we have to kind of finesse the situation and say that, hey, this stuff, it's not just taking advantage of the system because I want to buy clothes for free and write them off because that's not what it's about. | ||
| Now, you absolutely can write off any clothes. | ||
| If you've got a social media business out there that you're reviewing clothes or something like that or you're selling clothes, absolutely. | ||
| Absolutely. Everything you wear. | ||
| Makeup the same way. That's a deduction. | ||
| Now, if you're just putting on makeup because you're telling jokes, that's a little bit harder of an argument to make, but it does not mean we can't do it. | ||
| Right. So it's this sort of Byzantine intricacies that really we need you to explain to us because it's almost next to impossible for just a regular person without hours and hours a day to actually dig through the tax code and figure out how it's changing and how to take advantage of this sort of stuff. | ||
| And if you just want to hear a crazy story that's true, the IRS said that there was an exotic dancer who got a very large breast augmentation several years ago. | ||
| And the IRS said, yes, that's a deduction because it helped her get more singles at the bar. | ||
| Is that crazy? Interesting. | ||
| Well, hey, to each his own, I guess. | ||
| Whatever you need to do to screw Uncle Sam, I'm on that side. | ||
| Absolutely. So we can do that for you, too, even if you're a regular non-exotic dancer. | ||
| Even if you're not an exotic dancer. | ||
| It's for exotic dancers and non-exotic dancers alike. | ||
| And, of course, I keep saying Uncle Sam, but it's not just the federal government. | ||
| It's like the federal government tax code is one tangled web, and then there's another layer on top of that, which is the state and the local taxes. | ||
| Absolutely. And these all complicate and compound one another, and you do it all, not just national taxes, but state and local taxes as well. | ||
| Absolutely. So, hey, you guys are out here in Texas. | ||
| This is nice because you don't have income tax, but where I come from in the state of California, we have the highest income taxes ever. | ||
| In the country, New York's bad. | ||
| The thing is, even in states like Texas that don't have income tax, they're going to hit you up with other types of taxes to make up for that. | ||
| And the thing is, unlike the feds, who can just print off more money, and they do, right? | ||
| The state needs money, and they're very hungry, and they're very aggressive, and they have increased their collection efforts 200% since the pandemic because what happened was the IRS stopped filing liens for a while and the state picked up the slack and the state has spent lots of money over the last two years and they need money. | ||
| And so if you owe the state, they're going to be much more aggressive. | ||
| They will come to your house. They will take your personal property. | ||
| I've had situations where I've had business owners call me and say, hey, I own a business. | ||
| It's my livelihood. It's the only way I make money. | ||
| And the state has come and they put a notice on my door and said, they're going to shut me down today and I can't even have the right to make an income. | ||
| No prosperity, right? | ||
| And so, of course, we're able to stop that kind of stuff because they're violating your rights again. | ||
| But the state will step in and do it so fast. | ||
| The IRS is scary. | ||
| The state is terrifying. | ||
| But we can protect against that. | ||
| Don't worry about them. You just need the right fighter in your corner. | ||
| Right. And you really do because, I mean, we've covered the stories here and they are coming at an increasing rate. | ||
| Whether it's wanting to monitor bank accounts for $600 of transactions, or I can't remember the exact number, but I think it was like they're hiring 60,000 more IRS agents. | ||
| I mean, they are hiring an army to come after us. | ||
| So it's up to you to arm yourself against them, metaphorically, in this battle of taxes and money and thievery and finance. | ||
| Absolutely. And here's the kicker. How do you think they're going to pay for those $60,000? | ||
| Right. Right? So they're going to write more bill for billions of dollars, and because the dollar is worth less, they're going to have to tax you more. | ||
| So it's all a vicious cycle. | ||
| And so step out of the cycle as much as possible. | ||
| Listen, you, we're all here, me, we're Americans, we're in this mess together, but let's make the best of it, and that means paying the IRS and the state as least amount as legally possible. | ||
| I'm just gonna have more kids. I hear you just have more kids and take kid deductions, and I'm just gonna start breeding. | ||
| That is true. So the more kids you have, the more deductions you can take. | ||
| But remember, so the reason that deduction exists is, you know, I told you before that the definition of a deduction is in pursuit of a profit. | ||
| There's one other type of deduction out there, and that's called the public policy deduction. | ||
| The United States wants you to have children. | ||
| That's why they allow you that deduction. | ||
| So keep that in mind. | ||
| Yes, have all the kids you want, but do what you want to do. | ||
| Don't do what the government wants you to do. | ||
| You're damn right. I don't think the government does want me to have any more kids. | ||
| I think if you were to ask the government, they would advise against that. | ||
| Well, I've learned a lot. | ||
| My whole paper is covered in notes here. | ||
| I hope everybody else out there has learned as well. | ||
| Whether you've got kids, whether you're single, whether you're self-employed or, you know, get a regular income, I think everybody can benefit from this. | ||

| They've partnered up with InfoWars. | ||
| We think the InfoWarriors will benefit from this. | ||
| We think you'll... | ||
| You know, all be able to deprive Uncle Sam of some of your money and be able to pilot the intricate channels of, you know, not paying too much in taxes and not getting arrested. | ||
| I mean, that's a tightrope to walk. | ||
| And so we think in four is a really benefit from this. | ||
| Absolutely. Remember, it is your taxpayer right to pay the least amount of taxes legally possible. | ||
| That means using all the loopholes, all the deductions in the entire code, right? | ||
| So the IRS uses the tax code against you saying you owe money. | ||
| What we do and what we'll do for the InfoWars Nation is use that exact same code to explain why you don't owe that money. | ||
| Folks, they are hiring an army of IRS agents to get as much as possible. | ||
| It's up to you to hire your own army. | ||
| These are the tax mercenaries here fighting on your behalf against the forces of evil that are trying to deprive you of everything that you've earned and take it to themselves. | ||
| So again, Jones for Tax, jonestaxrelief.com, 833-900-4285. | ||
| Thank you so much for coming on with us, Tyler. | ||
| Absolutely. Thanks for having me. | ||
| My pleasure. Again, that's Tyler Bennett. | ||
| One last time, it's jonestaxrelief.com. | ||
| Again, it supports Infowars. | ||
| It supports you. It deprives Uncle Sam of those precious dollars he needs to oppress you even more efficiently. | ||
| It's a win-win-win-win-win. | ||
| We say 360 win. I think this is a full-on 720 win. | ||
| We're spinning in the air here. | ||
| Thanks so much, Tyler. Thank you. | ||

| We are telling the world of the crimes that Bill and Hillary Clinton are responsible for in Haiti. | ||
| And we are telling the American people that the over 32,000 emails that Hillary Clinton said she deleted Have evidence of the crimes they've committed. | ||
| The Clintons have a long history with the Black Republic of Haiti. | ||
| In January of 2010, after 220,000 Haitians were decimated in an earthquake, the world responded by pouring in $13 billion in donations. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And a year after the quake, Red Cross CEO Gail McGovern announced plans to create, quote, brand new communities. | |
| We're working on a planned partnership to build permanent housing for people that were left homeless during the earthquake. | ||
| The Clinton's first act was to provide what they claimed were hurricane-proof emergency trailers, which they say could also have been used to school the island's children. | ||
| Didn't turn out too well. | ||
| The trailers were released with a cancer-causing chemical, formaldehyde, which gave the students and teachers headaches and allergic reactions. | ||
| The IHRC, overseen by Bill Clinton, doled out nearly 90% of that money to non-Haitian organizations, which included the United Nations and a myriad of NGOs, while a measly 10% actually went to the Haitian government. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Activists staged a protest outside Hillary Clinton's Manhattan office. | |
| The demonstrators claim billions of dollars were stolen through the Haiti Reconstruction Commission, headed by Bill Clinton. | ||
| They also say Haiti was used as a cover for foreign governments, the funnel kickbacks of possibly hundreds of millions of dollars through the Clinton Foundation. | ||
| President Obama named Bill Clinton as the one that should be in charge of the reconstruction of Haiti. | ||
| The Haitian people have not seen not even 2% of that money. | ||
| Nothing was done in Haiti. | ||
| After the Clintons descended on Haiti like vultures and the Laura Silsby abduction of 33 Haitian children unfolded. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We already know that some of these children still have parents because an elderly girl, might be 8 or 9 years old, told us crying, I'm not an orphan, I do have my parents. | |
| The mistake obviously we made is we did not understand that there was additional paperwork required. | ||
| You can't just pick up a child and walk out of the country with a child, clearly, no matter what your best intentions are. | ||
| We have now learned that in 2015 a Clinton Foundation approved pastor and a parent project founder by the name of Corrigan Clay was arrested by federal agents after allegedly engaging in sexual misconduct with an adopted Haitian child. | ||
| In a 2011 post on the nonprofit's website, Corrigan bragged about former President Bill Clinton visiting him in Haiti and that his then-wife and apparent project co-founder, Shelley Jean Clay, attended a Clinton Global Initiative meeting in New York City. | ||
| A 2013 post on the Clinton Foundation website details another connection between the Clintons and Corrigan. | ||
| From 2013 to 2017, the Clinton Foundation provided another company started by Corrigan, Papillion, With solar power and helped it connect with retailers. | ||
| After Bill Clinton's numerous rape allegations... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nobody can dispute the fact that we need... | |
| And next thing you know, he pulled down his... | ||
| He sat down, pulled down his pants, his whole everything, and he was exposed. | ||
| All three of you in your own way have said you fear Hillary being the president. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| Why? | ||
| Why wouldn't we? | ||
| I mean, there's been so many things happen to so many people that are connected to the Clintons. | ||
| And we are... | ||
| You feel for your life? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely, I feel that way if she gets, becomes the president. | |
| Oh, yes, I definitely do. | ||
| She's going to rule the world. | ||
| The Clinton machine rolls on, assuming America can survive one more grift from the Clintons perverse, corrupt, self-imposed establishment ruse. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If I were a betting person right now, I'd say Trump is going to run again. | |
| I mean, he seems to be setting himself up to do that, and if he's not held accountable, then he gets to do it again. | ||
| I think that could be the end of our democracy. | ||
| Not to be too, you know, pointed about it, but I want people to understand that this is a make-or-break point. | ||
| If he were, or someone of his ilk, We're once again to be elected president. | ||
| And if especially he had a Congress that would do his bidding, you will not recognize our country. | ||
| At this point, everyone knows that a prison cell is far more appropriate for the Clintons than the Oval Office. | ||

| Third hour of American Journal has begun. | ||
| I'm your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
| Very happy to welcome my next guest, Jim Simpson. | ||
| He's an investigative journalist, businessman, and former economist and budget examiner of the White House Office of Management and Budget under Presidents Reagan, H.W. Bush, and Clinton. | ||
| His articles are currently published in Breitbart, Daily Caller, Washington Times, Town Hall, Accuracy in Media, and many, many others. | ||
| His groundbreaking work on immigration, public policy, and culture has been featured in documentaries, TV series, and it can all be found at crisisnow.net. | ||
| That website, again, is crisisnow.net. | ||
| Thank you so much for joining us, Mr. Sarkozy. | ||
| Simpson. Hey, Harrison. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Great to be with you. Thanks for having me. | |
| Well, I'm very happy to have you, especially, you know, with your new book. | ||
| Your newest book is called Who Was Karl Marx? | ||
| And you have a lot of great books. But this one's particular about Karl Marx. | ||
| It's called Who Was Karl Marx? | ||
| The Men, Motives, and Menace Behind Today's Rampaging American Left. | ||
| And I've said this before on the show, but I was born in 1989. | ||
| So my whole life, that was the year the Berlin Wall fell. | ||
| My whole life, communists were this afterthought. | ||
| They didn't exist anymore. They had failed and nobody took them seriously. | ||
| And I remember being in high school and middle school. | ||
| It was a joke for us. | ||
| We'd make these little skits in movies and we always made the bad guy a communist because we thought it was funny to go, oh, the communists are here. | ||
| Everybody hide because they were such a big joke. | ||
| And now it's like... | ||
| You look at everything going on in the world today and you go, oh, not only are communists still around, still very real, they're still extremely dangerous and not a joke at all. | ||
| So tell us about sort of the foundation of so much of what we're seeing go wrong in the world today and how it relates to Karl Marx and communism. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, you know, it all goes back really to Marx and the people who followed him, the people who devised the strategies of To basically portage communism from 1848 when the Communist Manifesto was written right up To inject it into the mainstream of popular culture here in the United States today. | |
| And I go into that in great detail in my book. | ||
| Very briefly, frankly, it's 120 pages, but it tells pretty much the entire story. | ||
| And the fact of the matter is, you know, I'm in a small minority when I... Oh, shoot. | ||
| Oh, we lost his feed there. | ||
| We're going to reconnect with him. | ||
| That's unfortunate. I don't know. | ||
| Something happened there. It's the communists. | ||
| The communists found us and are cutting off the broadcast as they are wont to do. | ||
| Some censorship here from The Globalist. | ||
| We're reconnecting here with Jim Simpson. | ||
| Again, his new book is called Who Was Karl Marx? | ||
| The Men, Motives, and Menace Behind Today's Rampaging American Left. | ||
| And as soon as we get him back on, that's a question I want to ask is, where do we see this... | ||
| Expressed in modern day. | ||
| Because, of course, you know, now there's this rising tide of socialist dogma that we're seeing from people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar and Bernie Sanders, of course, who they aren't socialist Democrats. | ||
| They're democratic socialists. | ||
| Their ideology is socialism, which is just communism wearing a dress, right? | ||
| It's just communism in a disguise trying to sound nice and pleasant for you while actually... | ||
| The most horrific Organization of human beings that the planet has ever seen. | ||
| And again, it's like, because I was a victim of this, obviously, I was just talking about it growing up, thinking that communism, thinking that people, that it had been proven by this point. | ||
| Communism was internally a failure. | ||
| It wasn't about the fact that the Soviet Union was less powerful than the United States and we won out because of our power and prestige around the world. | ||
| It was because the internal failure Failures of communism were overwhelming. | ||
| And the number of similarities we see between the socialist, communistic policies being pursued today and those in the past are striking. | ||
| I've been on a kick. Obviously, I read Gulag Archipelago for the first time last year. | ||
| If you want a slap in the face and a total wake-up call about what communism is really about, you've got to read Gulag Archipelago. | ||
| But any book... That talks about the Soviet Union or the KGB. I mean, there's a bunch of good books about spies that defected. | ||
| There are a bunch of famous spies. Some were KGB agents in MI5 and the British Secret Service. | ||
| There were KGB agents in the CIA. There were also KGB agents that defected to the West and brought a bunch of secrets over. | ||
| But any of these books that you read, you get this overwhelming sense of horror, of just what an oppressive regime feels like to live under. | ||
| Because we're getting a sense of that. | ||
| We're getting a taste of it. | ||
| If you ever wonder what it was like to be at the cusp of a communist revolution, you don't have to wonder anymore. | ||
| We're here, you know, where the shelves are becoming a little more – a little bit less filled up, a little bit more bare, and a little bit more bare. | ||
| And eventually there will just be empty shelves and we'll be standing in a line for bread. | ||
| And we'll go, oh, we should have stopped this a little while ago. | ||
| We should have put a stop to this because it's not about just things that we can't control going wrong. | ||
| It's about policies being put into place that are fundamentally wrong with human nature, with – You know, the reality of life on Earth. | ||
| I mean, it's just inhuman and wrong, these ideals that are put forward by communism. | ||
| They dress him up in all sorts of flowery language, but at the end of the day, it is a... | ||
| It is a worldview that requires total commitment from everybody involved, whether they like it or not. | ||
| The spying is intrinsic to communism. | ||
| The surveillance, intrinsic to communism. | ||
| All this stuff is intrinsic to communism, and it's slowly but surely reestablishing itself here in America today. | ||
| I'm sorry you got cut off. | ||
| I'm glad we have you back, Mr. | ||
| Simpson. If you want to continue your thought there, you got cut off a little bit earlier in your thought, but please go ahead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, no. So the entire fall of the Soviet Union, the fall of communism, was an active measure. | |
| It was a deliberate deception planned at the top. | ||
| For decades. Planned and prepared for at the top for decades. | ||
| And you know actually there was a KGB defector named Anatoly Golitsyn who wrote a book called New Lives for Old in 1984 when he predicted everything that happened. | ||
| And he predicted it because he knew from his experience in the KGB that that's what they were planning and had actually been planning it since the 1960s. | ||
| And so It's a Sun Tzu operation. | ||
| Sun Tzu is the Chinese philosopher who wrote The Art of War 2000 years ago. | ||
| It's called Deny Your Enemy an Enemy. | ||
| And by supposedly collapsing and falling apart, the Soviet Union became no longer a threat. | ||
| And, you know, the mindless members of Congress and the leaders at that time, H.W. Bush, and I was working at the White House at the time, or I was working at the Office of Management and Budget anyway, the Executive Office of the President, and I just shook my head because I knew it was a false flag operation, and everybody else was taken in. | ||
| Oh, great! | ||
| We can now spend all that money we are spending on defense, on social programs. | ||
| And I mean, Ted Kennedy tripped over himself to suggest We're spending the peace dividend on all kinds of Democrat goodies even before anything actually happened. | ||
| So it worked out more beautifully than they could have even hoped for. | ||
| And what happened as a result? | ||
| They took over in many countries in Africa. | ||
| They've taken over in many countries in South and Central America. | ||
| And, you know, like, for example, we were fighting the communists in Angola, supporting Jonas Zavimbi's UNITA, which was his, you know, a revolutionary group. | ||
| And the minute this whole thing happened, we just left him. | ||
| We just dropped him like a rock and it wasn't months before he was assassinated and the whole thing was over and the communists took over in Angola. | ||
| Yeah. This is what they've been up to the entire time. | ||
| And it's said that Putin is angry that the Soviet Union fell, and he's jealous, and now he wants to reconstitute it. | ||
| Well, he's not angry. | ||
| He just knows what the agenda is. | ||
| And he has been faced now with the weakest... | ||
| And I'd say most implicit and even treasonous president in our history. | ||
| And he's saying there is no better time than right now to decide to, you know, reconstitute the Soviet Union. | ||
| He's an opportunist no matter what. | ||
| We're going to take a break. We'll be back on the other side to track communism to the Ukraine war. | ||
| Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| This is the American Journal. My guest is Jim Simpson. | ||
| His newest book is called Who Was Karl Marx? | ||
| The Men, Motives, and Menace Behind Today's Rampaging American Left. | ||
| You can find all of the work he's done, which he's got articles posted... | ||
| Anywhere you'd want to read good articles, and you can find all of those at crisisnow.net. | ||
| Again, Jim Simpson at crisisnow.net, whose new book, Who Was Karl Marx? | ||
| And you talk about, you know, the subtitle of this book is what's behind today's rampaging American left. | ||
| And it is communism that's behind this, right? | ||
| And these things that we're experiencing more and more of, the surveillance, the censorship, I mean, these are intrinsic to communism, right? | ||
| Communism cannot survive without this type of tyranny. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. Absolutely. | |
| And, you know, I think the thing that surprises most people is the speed with which these things just suddenly started happening. | ||
| And what they don't realize is that, you know, well, here's the thing. | ||
| You know, people talk about conspiracy theories and Well, think about it from a military perspective. | ||
| If you were an enemy country confronting the United States, would you just launch a conventional attack against us, given the kind of weapons and military that we have? | ||
| Right, it would never work. Of course not. | ||
| What you would do, you would study our nation and its people and its character for its strengths and its weaknesses. | ||
| And you would go in, you would insert yourself and attempt to increase those weaknesses and attack its strengths. | ||
| And that's what they've been doing for 100 years. | ||
| You know, Marx, the communists don't think of Christianity as a weakness. | ||
| They understood that that was our country's biggest strength. | ||
| So they went after everything they could to corrupt our culture, and as one communist I quote in my book said, make the West so corrupt that it stinks, because only then, when we have corrupted all its values and made life impossible, can we impose the dictatorship of the proletariat. | ||
| So their goal was to corrupt, divide, and discredit Every single thing that we have ever done and made us so demoralized and so ashamed that we wouldn't have the will to fight. | ||
| And presto, here we are in the 21st century with children saying we live in a horrible racist country. | ||
| And we don't deserve to stay as we are. | ||
| Oh, and isn't, by the way, isn't socialism much better? | ||
| Right. And again, just to bring up Gulag Archipelago reminds me of when they talk about there where the communists in Russia would point to the dungeons of the czar and say, look how bad this is. | ||
| Isn't this awful? Little did they know. | ||
| Next up was the gulags. | ||
| Like, you're going out of the frying pan and into the fire in a very much sense, but this is the benefit that communists get, is they always get to point at anything bad happening now and say, this is capitalism's fault or Christianity's fault, and it doesn't matter if their solutions actually make everything worse. | ||
| They're always pointing at what's bad here and suggesting that they're the solution to this. | ||
| And I think in the last segment we were talking about the fact that once the Soviet Union fell, America's defenses just went down, just completely collapsed. | ||
| We thought, OK, we won that war. | ||
| No worries. | ||
| And I think the real damage that this had was during the Cold War, America was very forthright and open about telling people here's why we don't like communism. | ||
| Here's what we are versus what the communists are. | ||
| Constantly reinforcing why our system is better than communism. | ||
| And once the Soviet Union fell, we stopped telling people what that was. | ||
| And so I even think now this dichotomy between capitalism and communism, that's not the right dichotomy. | ||
| That's a new financial or economic... | ||
| You know, dichotomy that they're talking about. | ||
| But back in the day, we changed our national motto to In God We Trust as a direct rebuke to the communists. | ||
| Because if you were to ask people in the 50s or 60s, what are you fighting? | ||
| What are you fighting against communism? | ||
| What are you fighting for? It wasn't capitalism. | ||
| It was God, country, family, these things that we value and support. | ||
| And that's what communism must destroy in order to institute itself. | ||
| Is that accurate? Would you agree with that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, that's true. | |
| I would agree to a large extent. | ||
| And mostly, though, it was because people didn't think of capitalism as unusual. | ||
| You know, people in this country and in the West generally have lived in what is more or less a free market economy, and they have benefited from that. | ||
| And we just kind of assumed that was the way things worked. | ||
| You know, that a centrally planned economy is something that destroys everything and confers power to only those at the very top who, as a matter of fact—and I talk about this many times when I speak—live in absolute splendor and wealth. | ||
| Putin has 20 palaces. | ||
| He has helicopters. | ||
| He has boats. You know, big yachts. | ||
| He has jets. | ||
| He is bottomlessly wealthy. | ||
| The Castro brothers were the same way. | ||
| Mao Zedong was the same way. | ||
| All of the leaders of these communist countries become fabulously wealthy and powerful and They concentrate that power to themselves, like for example, in North Korea and Cuba, it's family owned, it's a family business. | ||
| In other countries, it's the very top cream of the crop, the very top few leaders that live in absolute splendor at everybody else's expense. | ||
| And it takes a certain kind of person to do that. | ||
| It has to be a person that cares nothing for anybody or anything but him or herself who is willing to engage in the most brutal practices to maintain that power and wealth. | ||
| And will do anything they have to do. | ||
| And it's all written out, really, not in the Communist Manifesto. | ||
| I call the entire Communist Manifesto and essentially the theory of communism. | ||
| It's really window dressing. | ||
| It's nothing more than a very sophisticated pretext for power-mad, greedy, selfish Megalomaniacs to seize and hold power. | ||
| That's what it's all about. | ||
| And I make endless numbers of examples in my book. | ||
| I quote Mao who says, you know, people, there are people in the world But they exist only for me. | ||
| I have a duty to myself. | ||
| I have a duty to no one else. | ||
| And that was a direct statement from Mao. | ||
| And the way these people behaved is just ungodly. | ||
| You can't imagine. Mao never bathed. | ||
| He never brushed his teeth. | ||
| He had a film of green slime over his teeth. | ||
| And he spent all of his days betting young women. | ||
| And when his doctor pointed out that he had a venereal disease, he said, well, that doesn't bother me. | ||
| The doctor says, well, you know, don't you worry about infecting these young women that you're bedding all the time? | ||
| He said, well, if it doesn't matter to me, what does it matter to you? | ||
| It sounds like a cult leader. | ||
| Communism is essentially a cult. | ||
| All the power goes to the top. | ||
| They can do whatever the hell they want. | ||
| And of course, in Soviet Russia, KGB, if you wanted a nice apartment, you better be a member of the system. | ||
| You better contribute to the system. | ||
| The system rewards you, and it's a self-feeding cycle. | ||

Incredible. You're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | |
| Watch it live right now at band.video. | ||
| Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| My guest is Jim Simpson. | ||
| You can find his website at crisisnow.net. | ||
| You can also follow him on Twitter at JamesMSimpson. | ||
| So on Twitter at JamesMSimpson or the website crisisnow.net is where you can find his articles, his books, documentaries, TV series, all sorts of stuff that... | ||
| Mr. Simpson is really an expert in. | ||
| And we're talking about communism here. | ||
| But we've got to talk about Ukraine because that is the big story. | ||
| Of course, across all the headlines, that's the most important thing in the world right now as it may very well lead to nuclear exchange or some other unheard of disaster. | ||
| So I want to talk about sort of the path as you see it from the modern Soviet Union to Vladimir Putin's Russia and where we are now. | ||
| I do want to take just a quick moment because I don't think I've ever said this on the show before and I think it's one of the most illuminating little bits of trivia about communism is, of course, the Berlin Wall, that physical manifestation of the divide between East and West. | ||
| Which we see as completely evil. | ||
| Was called by the communists the anti-fascist protection barrier. | ||
| They cage you in. | ||
| They'll shoot you in the back if you try to cross. | ||
| But if you ask them what it is, it's your protection against those dangerous anti-fascists. | ||
| I just think that really illuminates the mindset behind communism, doesn't it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's perfect. | |
| That's perfect. You know, they're always on the offense, always and always accusing us of what they are and what they do. | ||
| That is just their constant game plan. | ||
| And as I said before, the whole thing is designed to discredit our country, to discredit our culture, to discredit, you know, we have brought unprecedented wealth Right. | ||
| Right. And we are the first people out there whenever there's a problem in the world. | ||
| You know, when there was an earthquake in Pakistan, we were the first ones on the ground to help them, even though Pakistan isn't really necessarily our friend. | ||
| You know, the same thing with that massive tsunami that happened in Indonesia. | ||
| We were there on the ground. | ||
| We were the ones providing the help. | ||
| Yet we're the bad guys. | ||
| And This is the whole game plan. | ||
| And they just pound away at it. | ||
| They've infiltrated Hollywood, media, and especially education with agents and people who have been ignorantly indoctrinated to believe they're garbage. | ||
| And that's the result. | ||
| And it's been a long – it's been a strategy for over 100 years to do this. | ||
| I know. And once you recognize it, it seems so obvious. | ||
| It's like how does everybody not see this? | ||
| But they're very good at playing on people's better nature, aren't they? | ||
| People want to be charitable. | ||
| We want to help one another. | ||
| We don't want to see other human beings suffer. | ||
| And so they latch on to that. | ||
| They tell you that that's what they're supporting. | ||
| And in reality, they're thieves and crooks, and they're trying to manipulate your good nature to their own ends. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it absolutely is. | |
| It's all based on the—they do everything under the mantle of compassion. | ||
| And, you know, a 60s radical said the issue is never the issue. | ||
| The issue is always the revolution. | ||
| And what they meant was that it doesn't matter what the issue is, whether it's gay rights, civil rights, freedom of speech, anything you can think of. | ||
| None of it matters to them for its own end. | ||
| It matters to them as a vehicle for them to insinuate themselves into positions of power and wealth. | ||
| And that's all it's about. | ||
| It's all it's ever been about. | ||
| I mean, look at Nancy Pelosi. | ||
| Just look at Joe Biden, for that matter. | ||
| All of these people have insinuated themselves into the power and Gotten half of our nation to believe that they're better than us because they have, quote, compassion. | ||
| When none of the things that they promote are compassionate at all. | ||
| They're destructive, deliberately destructive. | ||
| And I go into that in the book as well. | ||
| And the book, again, is called Who Was Karl Marx? | ||
| The Men, The Motives and Menace Behind Today's Rampaging American Left. | ||
| But let's tie this into Ukraine and how we go from Soviet Union to Vladimir Putin's Russia. | ||
| Because a lot of the talk that I hear is almost treating Vladimir Putin as if he is a communist ruler of the Soviet Union. | ||
| I mean, is that accurate? Or like, what's the path that's been taken here? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, no, that's what it is. | |
| Like I said in the beginning of the show, the whole thing is a false flag operation. | ||
| These people haven't changed their stripes. | ||
| But one thing you have to understand about communism, and I've said it before, people think of communism as this... | ||
| know, debated in the intellectual stratosphere. | ||
| It's nothing of the sort. | ||
| It is a body of strategies designed to help people insinuate themselves into positions of power And you know, this isn't my idea. | ||
| A guy named John Roche, who was an advisor to Kennedy and Johnson, he was actually a leftist. | ||
| He was a small-D democratic socialist. | ||
| But he was a virulent anti-communist. | ||
| He founded or co-founded Americans for Democratic Action. | ||
| So he was firmly in the left. | ||
| But he came out in favor of the Vietnam War because he had been fighting communists all of his life, on college campuses and elsewhere. | ||
| So he knew what they were really about. | ||
| And he said, communism is not so much a high theory as it is an operational code for a new style mafia. | ||
| More interested in power than in saving the oppressed of the earth. | ||
| I'm paraphrasing, but that's what he said. | ||
| And that was in 1971. | ||
| So, you know, this is not a new idea. | ||
| A former CIA director, his name escapes me, I met him once, you know, he said, yeah, it's nothing but a mafiosi with a cover story. | ||
| That's it. Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, and it really is sick. | ||
| So, So that's interesting. | ||
| Obviously, Vladimir Putin was a KGB agent. | ||
| I hadn't thought about that. | ||
| But of course, the quote that you brought up at the beginning of the show, that Sun Tzu idea, deny your enemy an enemy. | ||
| That is exactly what happened. | ||
| And I didn't realize you said Gorbachev actually said that out loud. | ||
| I mean, they basically admitted that was their plan. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He did. Well, Gorbachev said it. | |
| Edward Shevardnadze, who was his foreign minister, said it on CNN. I watched it. | ||
| Georgi Arbatov, who was a KGB guy who ran the Institute for the Study of U.S. and Canada. | ||
| He lived in Canada. | ||
| That institute was basically a front for KGB operations. | ||
| But he said the same thing. | ||
| And, you know, they tell us what they're doing. | ||
| It's just that people don't listen. | ||
| And Gorbachev used those exact words. | ||
| We are denying you an enemy. | ||
| And that's what Shevardnadze said on CNN. They said, what are you guys doing? | ||
| He said, we are denying you an enemy. | ||
| You know, is it just that they have a long-term plan that they're carrying out, that they understood that the way to really take on America, as you pointed out, was not head-on, but in this subversive way? | ||
| I mean, obviously, there's another very famous KGB defector, Yuri, I'm blanking on his last name, but, you know, he, yeah, Besmanov, he talks about this as well, right? | ||
| The slow march through the institutions. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. Yep. | |
| Yep. No, absolutely. | ||
| You know, and the idea was basically described in detail by Antonio Gramsci, who is an Italian communist who spent most of his life after age 25 in jail. | ||
| He was jailed by Mussolini and he died in prison at, I think, age 37. | ||
| But he wrote Something called the Prison Notebooks, which are a 3,000-page tome on how, basically, to win the war of position in our culture and society. | ||
| And the idea is to penetrate all the institutions of society until you control them. | ||
| And then, you know, you basically own the game. | ||
| Right, and then once you're in that position, you then use the power of that position to progress your agenda. | ||
| So you're doubling up. | ||
| And we talk about this. Socialists do it right now. | ||
| They campaign on this. They don't campaign saying, I will be the best for this position. | ||
| They campaign saying, put me in this position and I'll progress socialism. | ||
| They're open about it, folks. You just have to listen to these people. | ||
| I'll tell you. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Final segment of the American Journal. | ||
| My guest is Jim Simpson. | ||
| You can find his website at crisisnow.net. | ||
| His Twitter is at James M. Simpson. | ||
| His latest book is called Who Was Karl Marx? | ||
| The Men, the Motives, and the Menace Behind Today's Rampaging American Left. | ||
| Folks, if you think you know about communism and about its roots and about the way it has wormed its way into our culture... | ||
| Really, the more you read, the more you realize you really don't know anything. | ||
| You might have a vague idea, but when you find out the details and how this actually works and how they're coordinating together, it becomes apparent what a big deal this is and why it's worth attention right now because it's really the crux of the spiritual battle that we're in. | ||
| But putting the spiritual battle to the side for now, we're jumping over to the physical battle going on. | ||
| Of course, war in Ukraine, Russia invading, and... | ||
| As you've pointed out, Mr. | ||
| Simpson, one of the big problems is that there's disinformation on both sides. | ||
| And we never really know what's true and what's not. | ||
| You get conflicting messages on both sides. | ||
| Neither one seems to be entirely true. | ||
| You don't want to run with either one. | ||
| And so, I mean, how do you deal with this? | ||
| And how do we even know what's going on in Ukraine right now? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, it's extremely difficult. | |
| It really is very difficult. | ||
| I mean, the casualty estimates coming out of the mainstream media, they put Russian casualties at astronomical amounts, and I don't believe that. | ||
| There was a guy with Tucker, Colonel McGregor, who claimed that it was More like 2,000 on both sides. | ||
| I don't know about some of his ideas, thinking Putin is actually being gentle in Ukraine. | ||
| That's nuts. But I think those are accurate, much more accurate And I also know from a friend who has contacts inside Ukraine that as many Ukrainians are being killed as Russians, at least as many, because the Russians really are engaging increasingly in scorched earth tactics. | ||
| But, you know, it is really hard to know anything about it. | ||
| You know, they talk about Zelensky saving the West for freedom. | ||
| Well, Zelensky is a globalist. | ||
| He's a member of the World Economic Forum. | ||
| I believe he said in the beginning of this fight that I'm fighting to save globalism. | ||
| I mean, that's just crazy. | ||
| And the globalists are communists. | ||
| I mean, Klaus Schwab, the head of the World Economic Forum, has a picture of himself with a bust of Lenin right behind him on his bookshelf. | ||
| And that was not a mistake. | ||
| He's a communist. And all the globalists are communists. | ||
| Globalism is just communism by another name. | ||
| That's all it is. And, you know, we think of globalism, what do we think of Well, of course, we think of the United Nations, right? | ||
| The United Nations becomes the head of a one-world government. | ||
| Well, who created the United Nations? | ||
| The UN Charter was written by Alger Hiss, one of the most notorious Soviet agents of our history. | ||
| And he was helped by 16 members of the Council of Foreign Relations and other communists to put this thing together As an instrument of Soviet foreign policy. | ||
| Yeah, there's the picture. It's incredible. | ||
| Yeah, of course, Nixon made his bones going after Alger Hiss and the McCarthy era after that, where now people think that McCarthy was just a witch hunt, that there were no communists, but he was running around tearing his hair out telling nobody there was. | ||
| No, they discovered huge contingents of actual communist agents in the highest rungs of power in this country. | ||
| Like, people need to know this history, and it's just not taught anymore. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, no, not at all. | |
| And, you know, actually, McCarthy, whatever you say about him as an individual, I don't know. | ||
| I wasn't there. But he could have been Jesus Christ, and he would have been crucified as he was in the 50s. | ||
| He was the first... | ||
| example of cancel culture. | ||
| They discredited him, they shot him down, and even then, a demonstration of how virulent the reaction to him was indicates just how deeply the communists had already penetrated our culture and society. a demonstration of how virulent the reaction to him was And | ||
| And basically that failure there, that cancel, intimidated people from talking about communism because they didn't want to be called red baiters, you know, they didn't want to be called... | ||
| Conspiracy theorists. So it really opened up the floodgates for them to do whatever the heck they wanted, and they did. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And that was really the last attempt to try to identify and clear out communists in this country because of exactly what you're talking about, the cancel culture that that came down on him. | ||
| But going back to Ukraine, you know, as you were pointing out, I don't know what to trust. | ||
| I don't know who's the good guy and who's the bad guy. | ||
| And if they're doing it for a good reason or a bad reason, like, you know, it's all kind of confusing. | ||
| One thing I do know for sure is that the people that run our country despise us. | ||
| They hate me. | ||
| They don't they aren't doing anything to benefit me. | ||
| So, I mean, is that is that a good place or sort of a reactionary place to start is going. | ||
| The one thing I know for sure is that Joe Biden is as incompetent as he is disdainful of the United States. | ||
| We can start there and maybe get to some truth. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Double double jeopardy. | ||
| He is both unbelievably incompetent. | ||
| He's obviously mentally debilitated, but he is also and he's always been really anti-American. | ||
| I go into that in my book. | ||
| He was elected with the help of something called the Council for a Livable World, which was founded by a guy named Leo Zillard, who was a Manhattan Project engineer. | ||
| And the Soviets called him the most reliable source for information on the atomic bomb. | ||
| And this guy, his organization, helped elect Joe Biden, as well did Armand Hammer, who was the CEO of Occidental Petroleum. | ||
| His father was Julius Hammer, founder of the American Communist Party. | ||
| And Armand Hammer was the George Soros of that day. | ||
| And he supported Al Gore Jr. | ||
| and Sr. He supported Joe Biden, helped them get into power and stay into power. | ||
| These are anti-American people. | ||
| And if you look at Joe Biden's record vis-a-vis our issues with the Soviet Union, he was always siding with them. | ||
| Absolutely. I think really the saddest thing is that America has fallen by its own design. | ||
| We used to be this beacon of hope for the world. | ||
| We used to embody these values that we espouse. | ||
| Now we espouse the values and do nothing to embody them whatsoever. | ||
| All of that impetus and all of that Goodwill is funneled into the designs of people who basically openly despise us. | ||
| I mean, there's really not getting around it anymore. | ||
| It may sound strange to some people when you call the President of the United States anti-American, but look at what the man has done and look at who he surrounds himself with. | ||
| They don't like the people of America, the ideas that America embodies, or anything that you would traditionally consider American. | ||
| I don't think that's an overstatement at all. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, absolutely it's not. | |
| Everything that he's done has wrecked our economy. | ||
| It's wrecking everything. | ||
| And they double down on it. | ||
| They don't say, look, open the spigots of oil so we can get our prices back down. | ||
| Oh no, we can't do that. | ||
| We have to fight climate change while we're fighting Putin, while we're fighting for Ukraine. | ||
| And the other thing that is really, really, to me, frightening It is just how lockstep the media is on its absolute 100% support for this hero, Zelensky, who's fighting the evil Russians. | ||
| Now, you know, up until very recently, the media would have taken the Russians' side. | ||
| They would have taken anybody's side but ours. | ||
| But now, all of a sudden, if you don't consider Zelensky a hero and you're not willing to get 100% behind fighting this war, and they've always been anti-war, You're a bad person. | ||
| What the heck is with that? | ||
| And that's why I think this constant drumroll, this constant push by the media and the left in this country and especially the leadership of our country, unfortunately, bipartisan leadership, the foolish Republicans, They're pushing us into war. | ||
| They're pushing us towards... | ||
| This is a momentum that could lead us into war. | ||
| Russia is also... | ||
| As communism never fell, Russia was not weak. | ||
| Russia today is not weak. | ||
| Russia has very advanced weapons as... | ||
| They've shown they have these hypersonic missiles that we don't have any defenses for, and they demonstrated how weak our defenses are by launching an old Soviet-era drone that fell harmlessly into Croatia without a single NATO country picking up its track. | ||
| Yeah, folks, they're acting like Russia's in trouble and is just going to collapse under their own weight. | ||
| It's all a psyop. | ||
| Incredible stuff. We're going to have to have you on again soon, Mr. | ||
| Simpson, because there is so much we can talk about. | ||
| Again, his latest book is Who Was Karl Marx? | ||
| You can find it at crisisnow.net. | ||
| There's a bunch of other books there, too. | ||
| All sorts of topics. Very informative. | ||

Why do they hate us? | |
| Their leaders are self-appointed. - Good. | ||
| They hate our freedoms. | ||
| Our freedom of religion. | ||
| Our freedom of speech. | ||
| Our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other. | ||
| We're not deceived by their pretenses to piety. | ||
| We have seen their kind before. | ||
| They follow in the path of fascism, Nazism, and totalitarianism. |
