You're watching the American Journal. | |
| Watch live right now at band.video. | ||
| And welcome to the American Journal. | ||
| Christy Lee in for Harrison Smith today. | ||
| So glad you'll all be joining me. | ||
| Hoping to take some phone calls throughout the show. | ||
| So if something interests you and you want to weigh in on it, then feel free to call. | ||
| Because, you know, I don't get to talk to y'all all that much. | ||
| So I would love to hear from you. | ||
| The number is 1-877-789-2539. | ||
| 1-877-782539. | ||
| And when you're preparing for shows like this, especially when you don't do it all of the time, you try and think of like, okay, what's like a theme that I can carry through the whole show? | ||
| You know, how are the things that I want to talk about related? | ||
| And... It just got me thinking of all kinds of things. | ||
| So we're going to have a tax professional in our third hour. | ||
| We're going to have somebody that knows a little bit about crypto in the second hour. | ||
| And I was thinking about, you know, why are these things important? | ||
| Why is it important to know what to do with our money to make it go as far as it can go? | ||
| And obviously, it just comes down to good stewardship. | ||
| And I wanted to review, you know, what it means to be a good steward of the income that we have today. | ||
| I like to dig a little deeper and see if there's any commentary on this. | ||
| And I was looking... | ||
| This is actually an older article, but it mentions inflation, and it's like, oh man, boy, this guy didn't even know. | ||
| This is from shiftgold.com, and this was written in 2017. | ||
| But he talks about the parable of the talents, and he says, you know, the good stewards are those who increase their given talents by increasing their value, both in the literal monetary sense and in terms of our gifts and abilities. | ||
| Bad stewards, those who fail to grow a given talent or talents especially out of fear or mistrust, because obviously the whole... | ||
| Parable of the Talents was about the money being given to these servants. | ||
| And one thought he was doing a good thing by just burying it. | ||
| And that way he knew he wouldn't lose anything. | ||
| But he was actually, you know, criticized harshly for not doing something with it that would increase its value. | ||
| And it talks about here just like how bad in today's world burying the money would be because of inflation. | ||
| And this was in 2017 when it wasn't even bad, as bad as. | ||
| It says, it's hard not to laugh at verse 27 in light of our current monetary banking policy. | ||
| Bank interest rates have not compensated for the consequences of inflation. | ||
| In fact, those who bury their dollars in the bank are losing wealth because of the depreciating purchasing power of the dollar. | ||
| Like the third servant in the parable, it was better for him to dig and hide his gold in the ground than to deposit his US dollars in the bank. | ||
| So there's that little commentary as well. | ||
| So that is kind of what we're going to be digging into there is how we can be a good steward, but also like not even just for money, but with our talents. | ||
| How can we be the hands and feet of Jesus? | ||
| And we're facing so much evil right now. | ||
| How can, instead of ignoring it, which obviously our audience doesn't want, We make a sacrifice just to listen and to be aware of what's going on, which is hard sometimes because it's some heavy stuff, right? | ||
| But we do that so that we know how we can respond and how we can take action and be good stewards as far as that goes. | ||
| I was thinking about the slogans, you know, we have the build back better, which obviously gets made fun of a lot because nothing's built, nothing's back, nothing's better. | ||
| But then there's like the other side, the slogan of make America great again, which, you know, we would want to do. | ||
| But both of those slogans, all these slogans that you hear are human focused. | ||
| And foundationally, what our country was founded on was this concept of in God we trust. | ||
| So it's also getting back to that. | ||
| Taking it away from broken, fallen man, which is behind slogans like build back better and make America great again. | ||
| Like we're going to actually do anything and turning to in God we trust. | ||
| So talking about that, going to share a verse of the day and also some top headlines in the next segment when I have some more time. | ||
| I'm Stick With Me. | ||
| Happy to be with you today. | ||
| And have a Friday. | ||

You're tuned in to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | |
| Watch it live right now at band.video. | ||
| I think it's time to blow this scene and get everybody in the stuff together. | ||
| Okay, three, two, one. All right, welcome back to The American Journal. | ||
| Christy Lee in today for Harrison Smith. | ||
| I was just talking about, you know, we as humans can only do so much. | ||
| So these slogans like build back better, make America great. | ||
| They're all human focused, but let's face it, we're all broken. | ||
| There's only so much we can do. | ||
| So the foundational slogan of the past, we'll say, and God we trust is really where it's at. | ||
| And the only way that we can move forward is being aware of these spiritual elements of this evil exposure. | ||
| And getting back to In God We Trust. | ||
| That being said, you know, coming in, I feel like I could be more prepared, so bear with me. | ||
| I'm trying to get some good news for you today. | ||
| But yes, fallen man, so In God I'm trusting today to carry me through this show. | ||
| Speaking of that, whenever I get the opportunity to sit in this chair, I like to share a verse of the day. | ||
| And what I'm really struck by right now is just... | ||
| We are seeing evil exposed every day. | ||
| And I feel like a tide has turned in the sense of that evil is being rounded up, if you will, and being centralized. | ||
| And it almost makes me feel like God is ready to move into judgment and in this calling, if you will, in this... | ||
| Separating the sheaf from the wheat. | ||
| So I'll talk more about that in a minute. | ||
| But being that that's the case, being that I feel like evil is being exposed, targeted judgment is coming, this is the verse that stuck out to me today. | ||
| It's from 2 Chronicles 7, 14. | ||
| And my people who are called by my name humble themselves and pray and seek my face and So really, any hope that we have of healing our land of America is going to come through repentance. | ||
| And we are seeing some big actions taking place of exposing the evil. | ||
| And, you know, we have been under judgment, I believe, for a long time, especially since we have ordained things like the murder of God's Beautiful, innocent children. | ||
| Now that that has been overturned, what we've seen is they're centralizing that. | ||
| What I mean by that is there's already processes in play to not only continue to kill children, We're innocent babies, but to ramp it up in places like California, in places like New York. | ||
| And they're really going to have to approach this overturn a Roe v. | ||
| by putting it in specific places. | ||
| Wouldn't it be interesting if we saw targeted judgment in those areas? | ||
| Because while some of us have been repenting and have been recognizing this as evil, others continue to defend. | ||
| And now they're going to be centralized in certain areas where they're promoting this happening. | ||
| So that is the verse that sticks out to me. | ||
| You know, if we want to heal our land, we need to continue to recognize evil and repent of it and let God do the rest as far as what's going to happen with these people that are continuing to try and circumvent the law, that are continuing to try and push this forward. | ||
| Top headline of today, woke up to an alert that the former Japanese PM Abe was shot during a speech from a frustrated assassin. | ||
| Interesting. Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been pronounced dead. | ||
| This is from Zero Hedge. | ||
| He fell to the ground where he could reportedly be seen bleeding from the neck. | ||
| Well, in custody, the gunman told police he intended to kill Abe because he was frustrated with the former premier, according to national public broadcaster NHK. This is a high-profile act of violence that we didn't normally see in this area. | ||
| We have Jack Posso saying Shinzo Abe has been one of the fiercest anti-communists in all of Asia and was never afraid to stand up to the CCP. He dedicated his life to defending his country. | ||
| So we did get a response very soon after this tragedy happened from Donald Trump. | ||
| He says, absolutely devastating news that former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan, a truly great man and leader, has been shot and is in very serious condition. | ||
| He was a true friend of mine and, much more importantly, America. | ||
| This is a tremendous blow to the wonderful people of Japan who loved and admired him so much. | ||
| We're all praying for Shinzo and his beautiful family. | ||
| So you would expect with something of this magnitude that you would hear from our current president that is in the White House. | ||
| But at last check, I didn't see anything. | ||
| Kyle Becker also pointed this out. | ||
| He said, so former President Trump has given a statement on assassinated Japanese PM Shinzo Abe. | ||
| Former Vice President Pence has given a statement. | ||
| Current President Biden has not given a statement. | ||
| Current Vice President Harris has not given a statement. | ||
| This White House is lost. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So that is interesting. | |
| But we know how this current administration feels about being buddy-buddy with the CCP about Chinese infiltration. | ||
| And this, as was pointed out, was someone who was one of the fiercest anti-communists. | ||
| So is there a connection there? | ||
| Well, we'll see. | ||
| So, I've also continued to be fascinated by this whole Georgia Guidestones thing. | ||
| It's so creepy. It's so weird. | ||
| I know this happened a couple days ago, but... | ||
| I was looking at the CBS News article. | ||
| This is a rural Georgia monument that has some conservative Christians. | ||
| Have you noticed that? | ||
| Start paying attention to how much the mainstream media is weaving anything conspiratorial or anything that they would consider a threat or violent against. | ||
| See how often they're now targeting and just throwing out their Christian. | ||
| We weren't saying this before. | ||
| We were saying, like, everything's white nationalist's fault, you know? | ||
| Everything's racist. Now they're really ramping up just being blatant about targeting Christians and demonizing Christians. | ||
| And that's been interesting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Once you see it, you start to see it more and more. | |
| So this is a rural Georgia monument that some conservative Christians have criticized as satanic and the others have dubbed America's Stonehenge. | ||
| It was bombed before dawn Wednesday. | ||
| So this happened... | ||
| Just after CERN. Now, these are two totally different things that happened that were big. | ||
| But it just sticks with me. | ||
| It's just strange. | ||
| Was it planned out this way? | ||
| Was the person that did this sending a message? | ||
| They knew that this turning back on of CERN the day after July 4th It was happening and that was ramped up. | ||
| And then just like a day later, this major monument that many have recognized as evil just gets blown up. | ||
| So many weird things that happen. | ||
| I mean, like all of the... It's like you had all those videos there, but we... | ||
| It mentions in this article seeing the type of car drive away, but like how did we not see the person then? | ||
| Yeah. I mean, I don't know. | ||
| What goes into making a bomb? | ||
| Could it be done that quickly? | ||
| It seems like it would take a while. | ||
| It doesn't seem like you'd just be able to run up and drop something and boom. | ||
| But I don't know. I could be wrong on that one. | ||
| It's very strange. | ||
| And then the fact that they were so quick... | ||
| To remove the evidence, if you will, because it was a safety hazard, really? | ||
| I don't know. It's all very, very strange. | ||
| But I just can't help but thinking like, man, those are two major big things. | ||
| The turning back on of CERN and then the Georgia Guidestones getting blown up like that. | ||
| It's really odd. | ||
| So I also wanted to see what the fact checkers, you know, if there was any fact checkers saying anything about this, because it has been making the rounds that this is a major development. | ||
| And of course, the Poynter Institute had written a fact check. | ||
| I think this is from 2021. | ||
| It doesn't have the date on it anymore, but I think it was just from 2021. | ||
| And Poynter Institute wrote, false. | ||
| Georgia Guidestones, a granite monument located in the state of Georgia, has inscriptions in several languages, according to which the world population should be 500,000. | ||
| That is why the pandemic emerged. | ||
| And then it says, there is no reliable evidence to prove the link between the monument and the COVID-19 pandemic. | ||
| The monument has long been one of the sources of a conspiracy about the New World Order. | ||
| Is it a conspiracy though? | ||
| Really? And how can you fact check something that's just like an idea? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. All right, welcome back to the American Journal. | |
| Happy Friday to you. | ||
| This is Christy Lee in for Harrison Smith. | ||
| Before we get too far off the topic, first I want to apologize for mispronouncing the former Japanese PM's name. | ||
| It is pronounced Abe, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, I believe. | ||
| And he was shot dead. | ||
| And we were just talking about this during the break. | ||
| Isn't it interesting that we continue to have this push for gun control? | ||
| And in every case, it's always in these places with the strictest of gun laws. | ||
| And this situation is no different. | ||
| As this article points out, Japan is one of the world's safest countries and has the strictest gun control laws. | ||
| Still no details on the homemade shotgun and its manufacturing. | ||
| But yet... | ||
| Even under those conditions, this is what happened. | ||
| This former PM was assassinated. | ||
| And we also talked about how Donald Trump issued a statement right away, just talking about what a friend he was and that they're praying for Shinzo and his beautiful family. | ||
| He was known to be very anti-communist. | ||
| And perhaps that's why President Trump acknowledges the death. | ||
| Pence gave a statement, but at last check, President Biden and the vice president had not given a statement. | ||
| Because, you know, we know they love the CCP. And on that note, it's now been revealed that Biden sold one million barrels of oil from the U.S. But before we get to that, we do have a video on Abe that I don't want to gloss over on this shooting. | ||
| So let's take a look at clip number two about this Japanese PM being shot during a speech. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And some breaking news tonight. | |
| Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe collapsed on stage during a campaign speech, bleeding, and was in heart failure after apparently being shot in Western Japan, according to NHK Public Television. | ||
| Now, witnesses say they heard gunshots while Abe was making his speech. | ||
| NHK says he was rushed to the hospital. | ||
| They could throw your hand down with us. | ||
| "I'm not sure what I'm doing here, but I'm not sure what I'm doing here." "I'm not sure what I'm doing here." | ||
| "I'm not sure what I'm doing here."��声が2回聞こえた後、男がSPとみられる男性たちに取り��さえられました。近くの路上には��いテー��のようなものが��き付けられたものが落ちていました。「前方が出てきた」「前方が出てきた」「前方が出てきた」「前方が出てきた」「前方が出てきた」「前方が出てきた」 | ||
| I'll give you a chance to get out of here. | ||
| "I'm going to give you a chance to get out of here." | ||
| このヘリコプターで安倍総理が運ばれたとみられています。 For those just listening, we're seeing all of the video of the shooting and what happened afterwards, them carrying them out on a The former Prime Minister of Japan has reportedly been shot. | ||
| Japanese media is reporting Shinzo Abe was attacked during a speech in the western city of Nara. | ||
| He is said to have been taken to hospital in cardiorespiratory arrest and bleeding from the neck. | ||
| NHK reports a male suspect has been detained. | ||
| Shinzo Abe served as Japan's Prime Minister from December 2012 until 2020. | ||
| And there with a picture of Donald Trump with Shinzo Abe. | ||
| And very, very sad that this happened. | ||
| But again, it happened in an area with one of the safest countries with the strictest of gun laws. | ||
| And here we have a terrifying, tragic... | ||
| A shooting that took the life that was an assassination. | ||
| And this is what we're seeing. | ||
| These things happen because it's not the weapon. | ||
| It's the human behind it. | ||
| It's the evil motivation behind it that these things happen. | ||
| Speaking of China, he was very, Shinzo Abe was very anti-communist, anti-CCP. And it is interesting that, again, we see that last picture of Trump with him and expressing condolences immediately after this happened. | ||
| Yet we didn't get that from the president. | ||
| He may have said something. | ||
| President Biden may have said something by now. | ||
| I haven't seen anything yet. | ||
| Let me know if he does. | ||
| But they were very quick to release statements, Trump and even Vice President Pence. | ||
| But we did not hear from our current president and vice president. | ||
| And I was making the connection of, isn't it interesting that this former PM was very anti-communist. | ||
| But our current administration is very pro-communist. | ||
| I mean, there's no question there's been Chinese infiltration in our country and friendliness, over friendliness with the Chinese government and admiration for their socialist authoritarian dictatorship ways. | ||
| And we did see this week that Biden sold one million barrels of oil from our U.S. strategic reserves to the Chinese company Hunter Biden invested in. | ||
| So it's already bad enough that we have such high gas prices. | ||
| It's already bad enough that we're selling our strategic reserves to a Chinese company. | ||
| But then on top of it, we have more of this conflict of interest with Hunter Biden. | ||
| And it's just so blatant and so out there. | ||
| They're not even trying to hide this anymore. | ||
| Christy, could I chime in on this topic? | ||
| Yeah, go ahead. | ||
| I just want to let listeners know an important detail about the oil that was sold to China. | ||
| That oil was actually unusable in American refineries because it was what's called sour crude oil that was contaminated with sulfur. | ||
| And so back in 2015 or 2016, the US government actually had to pay Chevron because we tried to sell that oil to Chevron. | ||
| They tried to refine it and it caused damage to one of their refineries. | ||

You're tuned in to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | |
| Watch it live right now at band.video. | ||
| Welcome back to the American Journal. | ||
| Christine Lee guest hosting today and for Harrison Smith. | ||
| We are continuing to cover this major news of the morning that former Japanese PM Abe was shot during a speech. | ||
| And the assassin, he was killed. | ||
| The assassin has been arrested. | ||
| This was in one of the strictest of gun control areas. | ||
| Yet, you know, violence can still happen. | ||
| Fancy that. We were hearing from Matt just before the break, and I want to go back to him because what he was saying was fascinating. | ||
| Here at Infowars, we're not interested in sensationalizing things that are, you know, just any opportunity to berate or target Biden. | ||
| We're interested in the truth. | ||
| So if it's a good thing, if there's something positive about the fact that we were selling strategic oil reserves to China, we want to tell that because that's the truth. | ||
| We're just interested in the truth. | ||
| But also during the break, I did get a statement given to me from President Biden. | ||
| It looks like he gave his statement on the death of the former Japanese PM Abe about 20 minutes ago. | ||
| We read and heard from Donald Trump very early in the morning. | ||
| We know that Trump is a morning guy, right? | ||
| And maybe President Biden just hadn't woken up yet. | ||
| And maybe that's why we're getting this statement later on. | ||
| But instantly, I'm reading this statement from President Biden, and here it is. | ||
| I am stunned, outraged, and deeply saddened by the news that my friend Abe Shinzo, former Prime Minister of Japan, was shot and killed while campaigning. | ||
| This is a tragedy from Japan and for all who knew him. | ||
| I had the privilege to work closely with Prime Minister Abe. | ||
| As Vice President, I visited him in Tokyo and welcomed him to Washington. | ||
| It's interesting to me that even in that first sentence, my friend, and then it's just because I just read from Donald Trump's statement that came out before our current President Biden's did. | ||
| He says in his statement, President Trump says in his statement, he was a true friend of mine. | ||
| And then the first sentence of President Biden's is, I'm so saddened by news that my friend, so apparently he's trying to make sure that everybody knows that he's friends with him too. | ||
| He was a champion of the alliance between our nations and the friendship between our people. | ||
| The longest-serving Japanese prime minister, his vision of a free and open Indo-Pacific will endure. | ||
| Above all, he cared deeply about the Japanese people and dedicated his life to their service. | ||
| Even at the moment he was attacked, he was engaged in the work of democracy. | ||
| Of course, oh my gosh, everything has to go back to that. | ||
| While there are many details that we do not yet know, we know that violent attacks are never acceptable and that gun violence always leaves a deep scar in the communities that are affected by it. | ||
| Man, they really want to work this into everything. | ||
| They're talking points. | ||
| Someone can't even be assassinated without them working in their talking point. | ||
| It's shameful. | ||
| The United States stands with Japan in the moment of greed. | ||
| I send my deepest condolences to his family. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, he ended it the same way President Trump did. | |
| We are all praying for Shinzo and his beautiful family. | ||
| And then Biden, you know, taking notes from the real President, Donald Trump, ends his Pretty much the same way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I send my deepest condolences to his family. | |
| But anyways, I was making the connection that, you know, here we have a former Japanese PM that was very anti-communist, very anti-CCP, and he is killed. | ||
| And we had not yet heard from the administration who we've seen plenty of evidence of their admiration with the CCP and also CCP infiltration in our current administration. | ||
| I was making this connection that perhaps there wasn't as much sadness about the loss of someone that's very anti-communist because of the conflict of interest there. | ||
| But Matt weighed in, Matt, in production. | ||
| And Matt, I want to have you start explaining that further, that these strategic reserves that were sold, you know, to a company that Hunter Biden invested in. | ||
| Well, you know, I was concerned about the fact that here we go, just selling our strategic reserves when our gas prices are this high. | ||
| But you're like, well, we actually couldn't necessarily have used those. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So please explain. | |
| This is actually kind of a testament to the Infowars audience because I had read the story and had the same interpretation that you had days ago. | ||
| And it was brought to my attention this morning by one of our frequent contributors or callers who goes by Simon. | ||
| And this is a bit of a tale of two headlines. | ||
| If you take a look at the Reuters reporting from their website, Bezos slams Biden's call for gasoline stations to cut prices. | ||
| Throughout that article, it talks about... | ||
| Jeff Bezos ripping into Biden and selling the SPR. But if you go ahead and go into the U.S. news content, which was from July 5th, also by Reuters. | ||
| Reuters was the... | ||
| The source for this story. | ||
| You get more detail as to the amount. | ||
| So of the 5 million barrels that were exported, they talk about a good portion of them being what's called sour crude. | ||
| And this crude was basically stored in a mine where sulfur was able to leach into the crude. | ||
| And it's just extremely corrosive. | ||
| Now, you got, you know, a couple of things about this. | ||
| Just most notably, that, you know, it would have been a total loss, right? | ||
| So it is kind of a good thing to be able to get some return on it. | ||
| And hopefully we can go ahead and restock the strategic petroleum reserve, the SPR, with good oil. | ||
| Awesome. So that is fascinating, that aspect of it. | ||
| So, I mean, shoot, if he is doing a good thing or something that can be interpreted as good, we're not going to hide that. | ||
| We're not going to purposely hide that. | ||
| And that's fascinating. | ||
| And so kudos to our audience for finding that and bringing it to our attention and giving us some clarification on that. | ||
| Either way, though, it's not a good look that they're very proud of the fact that these strategic reserves were sold to a Chinese company that Hunter Biden was invested in. | ||
| Just the shamelessness of just having it out there and so in your face just shows that this administration is just not even trying to hide their malfeasance anymore. | ||
| So it says, we were assured Biden was releasing this oil to America so it could be refined for gasoline to drive down prices at the pump, is what Turner told the Washington Free Beacon. | ||
| But we've gone over that, so perhaps there's not that aspect of it. | ||
| But there is this aspect. In 2015, a private equity firm co-founded by Hunter Biden bought a stake in the Centipack marketing valued at $1.7 million. | ||
| So there was a stake in this where we sold these barrels to the Chinese company. | ||
| This didn't get missed by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. | ||
| Lately, a frequent guest of InfoWars. | ||
| She's rocking it. | ||
| She's so, so fearless. | ||
| She said Joe Biden sold 1 million barrels of oil of our strategic petroleum reserves to CCP-owned Sinepec, which Hunter Biden is part owner of through his private equity firm, BHR Partners. | ||
| Hunter is still business partners with the CCP and they are buying our oil. | ||
| Can we impeach Joe Biden now? | ||
| That's what she says. And again, like I said, this in-your-face blatant disregard of the exposure being no big deal. | ||
| They realize they will not face any consequences because they never do. | ||
| And that is displayed in this freedom ceremony where Hunter Biden got a front row seat at the White House Medal of Freedom Ceremony. | ||
| And it comes as he is under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice, authorities for tax fraud, money laundering, and lobbying law violations. | ||
| So this is from Breitbart. | ||
| And President Biden appeared proud of his son's attendance at the ceremony, telling a crowd, my son Hunter and daughter-in-law are here. | ||
| So in addition to his pending federal criminal investigation, Hunter Biden attended the ceremony on the same day reports revealed he filmed himself doing drugs, touching himself and drinking alcohol while at the Massachusetts Detox Center. | ||
| More on this. I want to hear from you in this last segment. | ||
| So if you want to have any comments on what we've discussed so far, be prepared to call and I'll take some in the next segment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I love this song. | |
| Good choice, guys. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good choice. | |
| Feeling good on a Friday. | ||
| Happy Friday, everybody. We were talking about Hunter Biden. | ||
| Man, this guy just cannot keep out of the news before we went to break. | ||
| So it's been revealed that one million barrels of oil from U.S. strategic reserves were sold to a Chinese company Hunter Biden is invested in. | ||
| Imagine that. | ||
| Imagine that. Look at that business professional sitting right there with his crack and his hard tonic or whatever he's got going on. | ||
| Interesting. But our administration is proud of this, it seems. | ||
| They are blatant about all of this malfeasance. | ||
| Because Hunter Biden was a front row seat at the White House Medal of Freedom Ceremony. | ||
| His president father saying, making sure everybody knew that he was there. | ||
| He's like, my son is here. | ||
| He took a break from smoking crack and now he's here. | ||
| And so they shove it in her face and then they don't answer questions. | ||
| Because as we saw earlier, when Jean-Pierre, like our press secretary, was asked about this, And asked about all this information that keeps on dripping out about President Biden and his intermingling with Hunter Biden and his son, his dealings, and the money exchanges and the business dealings. | ||
| Well, when asked about that, she said, I cannot comment on any materials from the laptop. | ||
| She told reporters on Tuesday, directing their questions to Hunter Biden's representative. | ||
| But it's like, wait, we're asking this question because this actually has to do with the president being aware of the business dealings, which he said he wasn't aware of. | ||
| But now there's a voicemail where he's talking about Hunter Biden's business dealings, but they just shove it off. | ||
| So interesting. There. | ||
| But meanwhile, the administration must want everybody else to enjoy the crack pipes, you know, because if Hunter Biden gets to, you know, why shouldn't everybody else? | ||
| So a clinic funded by the Biden administration distributes crack pipes to addicts outside of school. | ||
| I remember seeing all these fact checks saying that this wasn't exactly true, but... | ||
| He lied? No way. | ||
| He lied again? What? | ||
| It says, this is from the Daily Caller, a harm reduction clinic that received grant funding from President Joe Biden's Department of Health and Human Services is distributing crack pipes to addicts in New York City. | ||
| The NYHRE, a part of On Point NYC, was awarded nearly $400,000 in grant money from the Biden administration in May to further its services for drug addicts. | ||
| Government records show Biden officials denied reports. | ||
| So did all those fact checkers, the little servants, the propaganda puppets. | ||
| They denied this, that the grant money could fund distribution of crack pipes. | ||
| But a visit to the office revealed the organization still offers the smoking paraphernalia to the addicts. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| So the caller reporter returned on a Thursday and was provided another crack pipe. | ||
| The staffer directed the reporter to back rooms for addicts to use the drugs under supervision, where the reporter witnessed individuals smoking and injecting various substances. | ||
| The reporter citing claustrophobia asked if she could step outside to smoke. | ||
| A staffer denied the request because the facility is located next to a school. | ||
| The facility is directly across the street from the Association to Benefit Children, a childcare facility for underprivileged kids in the New York area. | ||
| So insane that this is happening. | ||
| So I wanted to play this. | ||
| Well, actually, I'm going to hold off on that. | ||
| I want to go to your calls because I said I would. | ||
| And we haven't talked about, you know, the reason that I'm here, the reason an independent journalist can survive is because InfoWars is kind enough to support my efforts. | ||
| So when you support InfoWars, you're supporting many, many other independent journalists who are It's not easy when you're banned and you're censored and you can't get monetization. | ||
| So, so, so grateful for Infowars being able to support not only itself and stand in the air and be a resource, but also the generosity for supporting independent journalists like myself. | ||
| So let's hear from Truman in California who wanted to talk about the products that he gets to support the Infowar and the resistance. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Truman. Hi, Christy. | |
| It's an honor to talk to you. | ||
| Thank you very much. You bet. | ||
| I have a quick plug, and then I have just a couple real quick sentences to say about two different subjects. | ||
| First, we'll start off with a joke. | ||
| Before Hunter Biden said what he said 30 minutes ago about Prime Minister Abe, he said something before that. | ||
| He said, Nancy, what should I say? | ||
| So quit finding there, but I've been taking the Survival Shield X2 and X3, and that's really been helping. | ||
| I had a leg injury a while back, and since I've been taking it, it's been helping. | ||
| But I started taking the Hair and Beard and the Alpha Power, and it's probably at least... | ||
| I feel absolutely amazing. | ||
| I can't say how much they've done. | ||
| I used to shave, like, every two weeks, and I have to shave, like, every three days. | ||
| Manly man. Oh, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep, yep. And here's one more thing. | |
| What's up with that toxic masculinity you got going on? | ||
| I feel amazing. | ||
| My foot doesn't hurt. | ||
| Yeah, I feel amazing. | ||
| I'm up every single morning early. | ||
| I used to sleep like 12 hours a day. | ||
| Now I sleep like maybe five. | ||
| Luckily, I live with family and work on a ranch, so we try and feed ourselves with Everything we have. | ||
| Unfortunately, one of the Californians, the dozen of us out here, we might move eventually because we're just getting sick of it. | ||
| It's ridiculous. Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really quick, the Georgia Guidestones, there's a video that came out the day before the first killer was knocked down and the gentleman showed that there was holes drilled through certain points and The day that it was knocked down, before that, they cut out a section that was actually the date. | |
| So I encourage everybody to go onto YouTube and find that video. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| It shows holes that shouldn't be there that go up into the beams. | ||
| How do we find this on YouTube? | ||
| What are we searching for? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The link would be Georgia Guidestones Day before. | |
| Actually, my brother's the one who sent it to me. | ||
| I have the link right here. | ||
| YouTube.be backslash H7AB. I'm sorry. | ||
| I mean, that's going to be too hard for people to remember. | ||
| So just basically search Georgia Guidestones Day Before and try and find it that way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just go and look on YouTube and look at Day Before. | |
| I'm sure if you type in Day Before Georgia Guidestones, you'll find it. | ||
| The guy has a channel, so... | ||
| He goes to all different places and looks at it. | ||
| I'm sorry, I don't have his name. | ||
| It's the first time I watched him. | ||
| One more thing. Isaiah 520 says, That's a woe to those who are like Biden. | ||
| Yeah, that one's a great one. | ||
| Thank you so much, Truman, for your phone call. | ||
| I want to try and sneak in another one before we have to go into our next hour. | ||
| Don from Michigan. Don, you're on the air. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hi, Christy. How are you doing this morning? | |
| Good. How are you? Doing good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think you're a fantastic addition to the team there. | |
| Thank you. I just wanted to let you know that I called in a few weeks ago about the InfoWars InfoWagon. | ||
| I got my Mazda 6 all tricked out, 6,000-watt entertainment system with a 32-inch Roku TV, blasting InfoWars content out. | ||
| I take the InfoWars message to people who don't want to go to InfoWars.com or can't or whatever. | ||
| Mm-hmm. I went to the county commission meeting the other night and I showed him 2,000 mules to let him know I'd be holding viewing parties around Wexford County up here. | ||
| But I really called this morning, Christy, just tell me the boss has seen the info wagon and tell me he loves it. | ||
| Please, somebody tell me that the boss loves it. | ||
| That's all I want to know. I'm sure he does. | ||
| I hope he does. | ||
| You are taking action and that's what we need more of. | ||
| You're taking in information from InfoWars, you're searching for the truth, and then you're going out there and sharing it. | ||
| So kudos to you, Don, for doing that and being brave because not everybody wants to do that. | ||
| It is kind of scary when you plaster that kind of stuff because you've got so many crazies out there, but you didn't worry about it. | ||
| You just were like, I'm going to do this thing. | ||
| I'm going to try and bring the truth to others. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're running out of time. | |
| Yeah. Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're absolutely right. Have a great day. | |
| You too. Thank you so much. | ||
| So hopefully Don is an inspiration to you. | ||
| You know, we can spend a lot of time doing all the research. | ||
| We can spend a lot of time seeking the truth, but if we're not sharing it... | ||
| What good is it? You know, it's important that we know these things. | ||
| I think God wants us to seek truth. | ||
| How many times does it say in the Bible to, if you ask and pray for wisdom, that he'll give it to you? | ||
| That's like one of the main gifts that if you ask, like, guaranteed, he'll give it to you if you're asking for it. | ||
| So we are so blessed that we have this platform that has continued to stay on the air despite so many of the evil attacks. | ||
| We're so blessed to have something where we can share the truth uncensored, not banned. | ||
| And that's the point, though. | ||
| We have to share it. You know, we can't just be this echo chamber. | ||
| We need to share the websites, the links, and, you know, trick out a vehicle. | ||
|
unidentified
|
spread the word get people I don't want to set the world on fire Oh I just want to start a flame in your... | |
| Oh, the older music. | ||
| Back when times were not so complicated, right? | ||
| Christy Lee here. We are in the second hour of the American Journal. | ||
| Thanks for joining me today. | ||
| Happy Friday to you. | ||
| And we are going to be joined by our guest to break down some crypto in the next segment. | ||
| I'm going to be going to Grant from Litecoin Underground and learn what we can from that. | ||
| Decided to bring him on because, you know, we're talking about tax strategies in the third hour. | ||
| So it just seemed like a good idea to talk about how we can be good stewards. | ||
| Before we went to break, there's also being a good steward, not only of money, but of information. | ||
| So make sure that when you get information that others need to hear, information that is heavily sourced and really only interested in getting to the truth, which you will find here on InfoWars, that you are sharing that with friends and family. | ||
| In any way that you can. | ||
| Just be persistent or be like our last caller who has tricked out his vehicle and got a sound system and is blasting it for people to hear whether they like it or not. | ||
| There you go. He's being a good steward of the information. | ||
| So we're going to be joined by Grant in the next segment. | ||
| But first I wanted to finish up some Biden news. | ||
| Bye-bye Biden is what we hope to be saying at some point. | ||
| I've been talking and remarking about how just blatant they are. | ||
| Not only about putting Hunter Biden front and center, sitting there in the front row at this medal ceremony and Biden up there saying, my son Hunter is here and is so proud of it. | ||
| Like on the same day that this video of him sitting in a dark room with... | ||
| Hard tonic and smoking a crack pipe. | ||
| It's just all right in your face. | ||
| We're going to show that again, yeah? | ||
| This is the guy that they're so proud of. | ||
| They're just so blatant about it. | ||
| And then at the same time, any real questions asked about him are just completely brushed aside. | ||
| Oh, you'll have to talk to Hunter Biden's representative for that. | ||
| But... We also saw at that ceremony Biden admitting that these gas prices have nothing to do with Putin. | ||
| And in fact, this is just all part of their Great Reset the New World Order. | ||
| So let's take that clip if we can. | ||
| Clip number four. When it comes to the gas prices, we're going through an incredible transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it's over, we'll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less relying on fossil fuels when this is over. | ||
| Wait a minute. I thought this was just Putin. | ||
| I thought that this was just the war. | ||
| I thought that this was just the greedy oil and gas companies, the greedy gas stations. | ||
| But wait a minute, you just said we're going to bear through it so we aren't relying on fossil fuels. | ||
| So the truth accidentally comes out, right? | ||
| Not sure what to make of this. | ||
| Biden is building Trump's border wall in California. | ||
| This is from the Post Millennial. | ||
| President Biden will complete construction on a section of Trump's border wall that separates San Diego, California from Tijuana, Mexico. | ||
| According to the Daily Mail, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas approved the project, which will replace existing barriers on the border with two 30-foot doorless walls. | ||
| They were originally part of Trump administration's fiscal year 2018 budget. | ||
| It's going to effectively close Friendship Park on the American side. | ||
| Joe Biden should not be putting the finishing touches on Donald Trump's border wall at Friendship Park, said John Fancel, convener of the Friends of Friendship Park Coalition in San Diego. | ||
| But this is nothing new. | ||
| Biden has discreetly completed sections of the border wall before, such as in May of 2021, with a stretch of wall in the Rio Grande Valley. | ||
| Those cases Biden categorizes the construction as simple maintenance. | ||
| When Biden first took office, he signed an executive order canceling all construction of the border wall. | ||
| But now he's finishing sections. | ||
| Is this because... | ||
| I don't know. Why is this? | ||
| I mean, is this because we just had dozens die in transport? | ||
| Who knows what he is up to. | ||
| But, you know, he has to secretly do this on the side, so it's not like he's doing Trump's bidding or Trump's work. | ||
| So when we get back, we're going to dive into some crypto. | ||
| What's going on with that? | ||
| Can we subvert the centralized bank? | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Crypto enthusiasts, we're going to be talking about what is going on with crypto. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Crypto, Bitcoin, Litecoin, what's going on? | |
| You know, there's kind of, I feel like this is a little bit polarizing. | ||
| There's some that say like, oh no, this is just like fake money. | ||
| Don't do it. | ||
| Go into assets. | ||
| Go into the tried and true gold and silver. | ||
| And others are like, no, this is the way to subvert the central bank corporation. | ||
| This is the way to get around control. | ||
| But obviously, we have seen steps to... | ||
| Not only regulate crypto, but also usher in, I mean, it will happen, the digital money. | ||
| And will this make it harder for crypto? | ||
| It's all very confusing. | ||
| I'll say that much. | ||
| So thankfully, we have Grant Cook with us. | ||
| He's the founder of Litecoin Underground. | ||
| It's a community-driven project that was formed with a goal of educating the public about Litecoin and other cryptocurrencies, as well as encouraging the adoption of a decentralized, stateless money system. | ||
| Thank you, Grant Cook, for joining me on American Journal. | ||
| Many people don't realize that I actually used to be a stockbroker because of a family financial business, but there was a time that I was reporting for the news and also doing some investment advising, and it just was too much. | ||
| So I've kind of really stepped away from that. | ||
| It was never really my passion, but I do find this interesting, and I just know that I don't understand it as much as I can. | ||
| I know you have another job, Grant. | ||
| So how did you get into Litecoin and or cryptos in general? | ||
|
unidentified
|
How did that how did that suck you in? | |
| You know, honestly, it was a pretty I mean, not a very glamorous start. | ||
| It's not like anything exciting happened. | ||
| I was just looking at I had some gold and I had an old rental house and I had some stocks and I had I said to a friend, you know, what else is there out there? | ||
| And He said, well, you could always look into cryptocurrency. | ||
| So I just started to kind of dabble in it. | ||
| I looked at it early on as something that I wanted to test the waters. | ||
| I viewed it as maybe kind of risky. | ||
| This was five or six years ago. | ||
| And I just put a little bit of money in. | ||
| And I think maybe I differ a little bit from a lot of people in this space that I do kind of encourage people to take their time. | ||
| Don't feel like there's a big Oh my gosh, if I don't do this today, I'm going to lose out or I'm going to be, you know, I'm going to fear of missing out. | ||
| You don't want to have that. So there are a few assets. | ||
| There's a lot of it. I understand why it's confusing. | ||
| If you go on to some of these sites, you'll see there's like 20,000 different cryptocurrencies. | ||
| And so where do you begin? | ||
| I think is where a lot of people, I guess, a lot of their fear comes in. | ||
| And so I guess there's really a handful that I refer to as maybe sound assets and where my focus has always been on the coins that are trying to be money. | ||
| So like you mentioned, gold, silver. | ||
| I view many of these as digital cash or digital gold, digital silver, ways to have an asset that's Resistant to centralization, resistant to censorship, provides you some privacy. | ||
| And the ability to hold these things personally, not have to rely on a third party like a bank to hold your assets or a stockbroker. | ||
| You can actually take these things into your own possession and hold them in your own home. | ||
| And I know that sounds crazy to say that about a digital thing, but it is actually possible. | ||
| Yeah, you can have your own personal wallet, I have heard, which is the smarter way to do it than having like an outside wallet, which again gets confusing, but do you want to explain that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, essentially what you're holding, actually, what Litecoin is is a big ledger, which is basically a big spreadsheet that's held by, it's maintained by a network of computers, the miners and the nodes. | |
| You may have heard those phrases before. | ||
| So when you're holding a wallet, you're actually holding basically your keys, they call them, your private keys to unlock your vault or your space inside that ledger. | ||
| So you don't actually, you know, the coins themselves are on the distributed ledger. | ||
| They're out on the internet. But the private keys give you access only to that. | ||
| To that account, if that makes any sense. | ||
| I also want to say something real quick. | ||
| I wore a t-shirt today. | ||
| I want you to think I underdressed. | ||
| My wife made this for me. | ||
| How dare you not wear a tie when you come on American Journal? | ||
| No, go ahead. Show the shirt again. | ||
| Show the shirt again. Come on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I need you to stand up. Litecoin at LTC Underground. | |
| There you go. You're promoting what it is you have going on. | ||
| No, it's fine. | ||
| You don't have to dress up for us here at the American Journal. | ||
| But Grant, there's been people that have been mocked as of recently for getting into cryptos because we definitely saw some major tanks in some of the coins. | ||
| Can you explain what went on with that? | ||
| Is there going to be a recovery? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What happened? Um... | |
| That's a very multi-layered question. | ||
| A very loaded question. I'll say that there's a lot of... | ||
| I don't want to say there's a lot of scams. | ||
| There are a lot of scams in cryptocurrency. | ||
| That's why you have to be very careful and do some research before you get involved in anything. | ||
| When I talk about a handful, the things I feel safe about telling people to buy, Litecoin, obviously, Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Monero's one that's out there that's tougher to get your hands on. | ||
| It's very highly banned in a lot of places, which some people think says it's a good thing. | ||
| But those four are truly decentralized networks. | ||
| And I feel comfortable saying those are going to be around a long time. | ||
| And some people think Dogecoin, they think of it as kind of a joke. | ||
| But the reality is it's actually it's merged mined with Litecoin. | ||
| So as long as Litecoin survives, Dogecoin survives. | ||
| And as long as Dogecoin, vice versa. | ||
| But as far as what happened, there's a lot of people that make a lot of wild speculative bets. | ||
| When they did, they made the wrong bet and it went badly. | ||
| So some of the big upside you see is because of that gambling. | ||
| And equally, the big downside comes as a result of bad bets. | ||
| So is that going away? | ||
| I don't know. I think what I would take out of it is now is the time. | ||
| If you were looking at when should I get in? | ||
| When things are really bad, that's the time you should pick up a little bit. | ||
| Because you'll regret, you know, when it goes, you know, Litecoin was 400 bucks, you know, last year. | ||
| So now it's 50. | ||
| So the better time to buy is when it's 50, not when it's 400, if you're looking for the best bang for your buck. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. But there's a lot of talk that there has been some manipulation with these prices, especially since they do want to usher in a digital currency that they can control. | ||
| So how much do you think that they will continue to try and manipulate the cryptocurrencies? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What do you mean by they? Well, you know, the deep state. | |
| I ask the questions here. | ||
| I mean, are there concerns that... | ||
| I mean, because basically people are getting into cryptos because they do want that decentralization. | ||
| They do want something apart from... | ||
| I mean, even our dollar is like basically fake money. | ||
| It's a debt instrument. | ||
| So... What are your concerns about them being able to essentially leave it alone or there being security in them, in cryptos? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like, can the government stop? | |
| Is that what you mean? Yeah. Yeah. | ||
| And the truly decentralized ones that I just mentioned, they are your best bet against it. | ||
| They work off a mining network and a node network that's decentralized around the world. | ||
| So it's not like there's a home office for Litecoin that the government can go and raid. | ||
| There's a lot of the coins that exist today that are called cryptocurrencies that do have a central office. | ||
| They're just a business that added a token to their business and have made a bunch of money doing that. | ||
| But they don't offer the things that Litecoin offers of being decentralized, of being censorship resistant. | ||
| since, One of the things that really intrigued me the first time I got into Litecoin and Bitcoin is that The decentralization nature really prevents them from being censored. | ||
| You know, one of the things that governments do and that even corporations do today is their goal is to centralize as much as possible because the more centralization you have, the more kind of choke points you have, the more manipulation and control you can have. | ||
| So this is happening in corporations, it's happening with banks, it's happening with currencies. | ||
| I mean, the EU And what is it, 20 years ago, they consolidated all their currencies into one. | ||
| So that gives you more control as a government. | ||
| And you're in the media. | ||
| Perfect example. What's happened in the media in the last 20 years is there's a centralization. | ||
| And what that centralization does is it allows you to censor. | ||
| One thing I noticed, you sent me a link today on Twitter to say, hey, here's where the show is. | ||
| And that link came across to me and said, this might be suspicious content. | ||
| We click on it and it says this could be dangerous or harmful to others. | ||
| InfoWars is dangerous because InfoWars is the truth. | ||
|
unidentified
|
InfoWars is exposure. Welcome back to the American Journal. | |
| Christy Lee in today. | ||
| Happy Friday, everybody. | ||
| We are digging into crypto. | ||
| What's going on with that? | ||
| And fighting against the whales, I'm told, is what they're called. | ||
| Grant Cook is with me. | ||
| He's the founder of Litecoin Underground. | ||
| Have you heard that term before? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The whales? Yeah, and that's definitely when you talk about the manipulation. | |
| God, this gets into a whole topic of controlling. | ||
| You're like, this is going to get really deep. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, you know, it's like with anything, and again, I'll bring it back to the media. | |
| The news goes to the highest bidder, so anybody can, with enough money, pump whatever product or coin they want, and they buy it, manipulate it up, and then when they want to sell it, they sell it, and then tell everybody to sell it. | ||
| We're kind of in an early stage with cryptocurrencies. | ||
| They are getting more used, like they should, as actual monies. | ||
| These are intended to be peer-to-peer Digital cash to give you privacy, to give you that, again, censorship resistance. | ||
| And I think people who are interested in gold and silver or maybe for work, they may do some work on the side and accept cash. | ||
| These are the tools that they're going to want to kind of merge into once cash goes away. | ||
| Because frankly, I think that day is coming. | ||
| We're going to see CBDCs, Central Bank Digital Currencies. | ||
| And you're going to run out of tools at some point. | ||
| One of the things that the government's done is take gold, right? | ||
| They've taken physical assets from people, and so this prevents that. | ||
| Do you think that these digital currencies that we've been using, that have been available, will be able to survive up against a central bank digital currency? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I mean, there's no... | |
| You know, it's all, I guess, it's what the public wants. | ||
| So if the public loves central bank digital currencies, they can use them. | ||
| But there's no stopping these networks, I think is the best way to say it, which sounds like a bold statement. | ||
| But the reality is it's seen, these networks have seen crash, you know, China banned mining. | ||
| And so like half the miners had to get turned off and But they displaced. | ||
| They went somewhere else. And so if the U.S. decides to ban mining, they'll go to Europe or they've gone to Kazakhstan or Africa or South America. | ||
| So you feel confident this isn't going anywhere? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. Bitcoin and Litecoin's mining networks are very robust and they've been around for over a decade. | |
| Litecoin's existed for nearly 11 years flawlessly. | ||
| And so it's the second largest network behind Bitcoin. | ||
| Now you don't hear about Litecoin that much. | ||
| You tend to hear Bitcoin, Bitcoin, Dogecoin even, but you don't really hear about Litecoin that much. | ||
| So what intrigued you so much to have this community of Litecoin underground that's really focused on that particular one? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. Well, Litecoin to me is the most accessible to the average user. | |
| Right now it's $50 a coin as opposed to $20,000 for Bitcoin. | ||
| It's a unit of measure thing. | ||
| There's four times as many Litecoin as there are Bitcoin. | ||
| And I guess it's kind of just the quiet little brother. | ||
| It's nearly identical to Bitcoin. | ||
| It is faster to use, so it's a lot more like cash. | ||
| And actually, one of the big upgrades that occurred just a few weeks ago is something called Mimble Wimble, which is kind of a mouthful. | ||
| So we call it M-Web. | ||
| But It actually provides a layer of privacy that Bitcoin doesn't have. | ||
| So it kind of obscures the sender and the amount where if you were to go on to... | ||
| There's things called... | ||
| You can basically view all the transactions on Bitcoin today. | ||
| And so some people think that's a potential problem in the future. | ||
| I think it'll get addressed, but Litecoin is addressing that. | ||
| And it's a very important part. | ||
| That's why I wrote privacy up on my... | ||
| Nice. Nice. | ||
| Thank you. I mean, you said you're all about teaching and educating the public about it. | ||
| Speaking of that, I wanted to bring in a caller that I know does some crypto, see if we can have an interesting conversation. | ||
| He goes by Smoke a Fatty with Patty. | ||
| Dot News in North Jersey. | ||
| I wanted to bring you in on this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Welcome to the show. | |
| Wow, guys, yours must have been ringing this whole time. | ||
| I'm sitting here on hold, and you bring on a crypto caller. | ||
| It's almost like plans as if it was a surprise for me. | ||
| But thank you. It was all for you! | ||
| Oh, my goodness. | ||
| You know, that's the self-centered side of myself. | ||
| You know, like, wow, this aligned nicely. | ||
| Thanks a lot, guys. I appreciate it. | ||
| See what Infowars does. | ||
| For the average caller or listener is unmatchable with any other media production company out there. | ||
| So I just want to put that out there. | ||
| Awesome. This is quite an honor. | ||
| I never thought I'd be able to talk to the owner of a crypto company, but I am very well versed in the fact that Litecoin is one of the most safe and secure networks and safest and most secure cryptos So you are a big fan of the Litecoin yourself? | ||
| I don't invest in Litecoin, but I have used Litecoin for safe and secure payments across the World Wide Web. | ||
| Some companies accept Litecoin as a form of payment because they need safe and secure payments Processing at a very reasonable cost because the mining cost or the fee to transfer Litecoin, it's not that steep. | ||
| If I have to send somebody around $50, it only comes out to about $51, $52. | ||
| The transfer happens in about 12 minutes and it's safe and secure and I know the payment is going to be going through. | ||
| It has the mining aspect. | ||
| So for everyone that doesn't know mining, mining is just an extra computer calculation that's done by an external, which that's the decentralized part of it. | ||
| You were speaking before about how Litecoin, it's not just a company. | ||
| It's made up of the people. | ||
| So the mining aspect, which is an extra transaction where it double-checks The fact that I took X amount of Litecoin and I'm sending it to somebody for X amount of like, you know, I'm sending it to their wallet. | ||
| The extra transaction that happens on the blockchain is done through a miner. | ||
| It's not somebody in a cave somewhere. | ||
| It's actually just somebody's computer. | ||
| And, you know, and this, what this does, it double checks and it We'll verify the transaction on the blockchain to confirm that the payment went from one individual to another. | ||
| And like I said, it happens within 12 minutes. | ||
| It's safe and secure. I didn't know about Mimble Wimble. | ||
| That's quite the name there. | ||
| That's an awesome name. | ||
| Can you tell us more about that? | ||
| How does that ensure the transaction is completely safe and secure? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, the name, just so you know, Mimblewimble was a protocol that was created about seven or eight years ago and ran on a few different kind of smaller coins for a while and took a couple years to add on to Litecoin. | |
| But the name actually comes from Harry Potter, I guess. | ||
| There was a spell meant to, I guess, maybe make you invisible or something like that. | ||
| So that's kind of the idea. | ||
| It makes the transaction kind of... | ||
| Hidden in a way. But this is a technical question. | ||
| So what happens is each block there is a... | ||
| Well, we have to hit a break. | ||
| So let's wait until we get back from the break to get into the technicalities of this Harry Potter name. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| We've been talking to Grant Cook, the founder of LightCoin Underground. | ||
| It's a community-driven project formed with a goal of educating the public about Litecoin and other cryptocurrencies. | ||
| We're going to finish up with Grant Cook in this segment, but you can find him on Twitter and YouTube by searching for Litecoin Underground. | ||
| Grant, this has been fascinating, just kind of like breaking this down, learning more about Litecoin, because like you said, it's like the little brother that we don't hear about. | ||
| We're about as much as Bitcoin and Dogecoin. | ||
| But you were explaining something that... | ||
| This is what's funny about the crypto world. | ||
| I feel like they're just fun, you know? | ||
| And there was a term that you were explaining just came from like Harry Potter. | ||
| And you said it's kind of actually difficult to explain. | ||
| So maybe review that and start breaking that down. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, there's a lot. I don't want to give the technical part of what's happening. | |
| It has to do with what's happening on the blockchains. | ||
| And there's things called extension blocks. | ||
| But basically, one of the big, I guess, one of the, I'll say maybe one of the few things that you would say is an issue with Litecoin and even Bitcoin. | ||
| As of, you know, a few months ago was that you can see every transaction on the network. | ||
| So if you go to a block explorer and I send you some money, you can look at my wallet and you can see obviously how much I sent you, but you can also see what was the balance of the wallet that just, that I sent it from. | ||
| So if I sent you, you know, let's say I gave you a hundred dollars, but then you look at my wallet and go, wow, he's got a wallet worth $50,000. | ||
| And that might make people susceptible to being attacked and try to make people take their coins. | ||
| That's one thing. And then also there's a lot of trackability coming from an exchange. | ||
| So if I buy from an exchange and all my information is on that exchange, they now know that where those coins went are very likely to belong to me. | ||
| And then they can essentially track that all the way down. | ||
| That's a very scary thing. | ||
| It's a very powerful tool. And so what the creator of Litecoin, Charlie Lee, wanted to address was this, what they call, like a fungibility factor, it's called. | ||
| You want to make basically all coins equal so that if you receive a coin that came from, I don't know, that was used in a drug deal 20 months ago, that shouldn't affect you as the user. | ||
| You're just receiving it. So we wanted to make it a lot more like cash. | ||
| And so what this Mimblewimble extension block thing does is it, Basically blurs the amount and it blurs the address from the receiver and it doesn't show up anywhere on a block explorer that you could actually view this information. | ||
| So it's a really important upgrade. | ||
| I've often I've Maybe I'm coining this phrase. | ||
| I think it's the most important upgrade in the history of cryptocurrency. | ||
| Because Litecoin is so worldwide available, it's on every ATM that Bitcoin's available. | ||
| It's very widely used. | ||
| It is one of the more important ones. | ||
| Even though we don't hear about it, it is a very large community, a lot of usage. | ||
| And so to have this additional feature added at a time when I think people are going to need it, I think we do need to be concerned about government snooping. | ||
| And corporate snooping, frankly. | ||
| Absolutely. It looks like I do still have Smoke a Fatty with Patty still on hold. | ||
| I wanted to check with you and see. | ||
| Did you have any other questions? | ||
| I'm completely fascinated. | ||
| That is probably one of the most remarkable things I've heard about crypto and crypto technology since I got in. | ||
| Because, you know, that is a big problem. | ||
| You can go on other blockchains. | ||
| You can go look through other people's wallets and see what they have. | ||
| That is one of the most fascinating things I've ever heard. | ||
| And thank you guys for giving me the opportunity to speak to somebody of such importance in the field. | ||
| But I just want to say one last thing, that the most important aspect of cryptocurrency is utility. | ||
| Utility has value because you can do things with it. | ||
| That is what makes it important. | ||
| So when people say, are you in cryptocurrency, it doesn't mean you have to put all your soup eggs and everything into one basket. | ||
| It's a utility. | ||
| It's used for payments. | ||
| Some cryptos are used for other Other things. | ||
| Some are investment cryptos. | ||
| Some are used for payments. | ||
| Once you get into crypto, there's a lot of research that has to be done, but it's all worth it. | ||
| It's worth your time. | ||
| What else would you rather be doing now? | ||
| Actually looking at all the negative stuff that's going on in the world, or actually you can be dedicating your time to expanding your education and your knowledge of something that's really great and is really coming fast. | ||
| And you don't want to be left behind and get stuck using the government-issued cryptos that they can put weird stuff on and look through and all that stuff. | ||
| But it's good to get into crypto now. | ||
| Litecoin is definitely one of the best cryptos that I know that people use for the utility of it, the safety. | ||
| Fast and effective payment solution that it offers to the entire world. | ||
| And guys, thank you so much for this opportunity. | ||
| Awesome. Thanks for the phone call and thanks for your vote of confidence about breaking up the Sausage Fest. | ||
| That was another thing he said. | ||
| He appreciates me breaking up. | ||
| Thanks for that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was a bit of a Sausage Fest, I'll tell you that. | |
| So anyways, we do appreciate you coming on. | ||
| And again, if you want to follow LightCoin Underground, all you have to do is search for Twitter or search on YouTube for LightCoin Underground for more education on this topic. | ||
| And I wanted to ask you as we finish this up, Grant, what is the number one advice for people that are like, yeah, I've been seeing this happening in the background. | ||
| I do want more diversification. | ||
| I do want to get in. But man, that's just overwhelming. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How do I start? Um, boy. | |
| I guess what I was going to actually tell that Smoke Fatty is that I'm actually, right after this, I'm going to do a Twitter Spaces. | ||
| So if you are interested in it, Twitter Spaces is kind of like a big conference call. | ||
| I don't know if anybody's ever If you haven't been on there, it's actually kind of a nice format. | ||
| You can jump up and ask questions. | ||
| So I'll do one, and I'm sure some people from the community will jump on. | ||
| So if you have some questions, feel free to come in. | ||
| But I would say Twitter's a great resource, honestly. | ||
| There's a lot of mess on Twitter, but There are a lot of people on there that are willing to take the time to give you some education. | ||
| I think some of it's probably very biased. | ||
| I'm probably, you know, a lot of people are biased. | ||
| I own Litecoin, so I'm biased to Litecoin. | ||
| So take it with a grain of salt. | ||
| But, you know, our goal is to just make sure people feel comfortable, that they can ask questions, because it's extremely confusing. | ||
| When you start talking about And, you know, transaction sizes and UTXOs and extension blocks and all this stuff. | ||
| A lot of people feel like, do I need to be a computer scientist to understand this stuff? | ||
| And the reality is you don't. | ||
| If you really think of these things, these tools, as they're a form of money, it's a better form of money than you have today. | ||
| The fiat dollar is... | ||
| Talk about manipulation. | ||
| It has been printed into oblivion. | ||
| You know, the last 100 years, it's worth... | ||
| Less than 1% of what it was 100 years ago. | ||
| And that devaluation of your money is happening every single day, and it's going to continue happening. | ||
| And the only way to opt out of the current system is to buy things like Litecoin, Bitcoin, gold, silver, and Bitcoin. | ||
| Become self-sovereign, right? | ||
| One guy in the Litecoin community says, this is sound money for the digital age. | ||
| And Clint Westwood, you can go follow him. | ||
| But that's a very good way to describe it. | ||
| It's sound money that's better money than has ever existed before. | ||
| It's the greatest form of money ever. | ||
| And I imagine, like, a good word of advice would be, like, anything. | ||
| If you really want to understand it and learn more about it, you just got to do it. | ||
| But I'm guessing start small, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Start slow. Yeah, yeah. | |
| Start slow. Like, Litecoin's 50 bucks right now. | ||
| Like, go buy two of them and just start doing some research, join some groups, ask questions, and then you'll end up like me. | ||
| In five years, and you'll be nuts. | ||
| Yes, let's all be nuts. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, we're already here on Infowars and calling crazy. | |
| Let's just embrace it. | ||
| We're going to be the last one surviving. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I do want to clarify, this isn't a company. | |
| Like he said, I'm the owner of the company. | ||
| Yeah, I think he was a little bit, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, Litecoin, that's something to note. | |
| It doesn't have a CEO. It's not a business. | ||
| There's not a marketing budget. | ||
| There's nobody that gets paid to promote this stuff. | ||
| I'm doing this because I care about it, and our community is strong, and I really like the ethos of our community, just being open and engaging and not trying to be dismissive of people or talk down to them. | ||
| We gotta go, but thank you so much for coming on. | ||

|
Welcome back, guys. | |
| Christy Lee here, hosting the American Journal today. | ||
| So happy and grateful to be here and be with all of you. | ||
| I'm going to be going back to your phone calls here in a moment. | ||
| And we're actually going to be joined by Tyler Bennett from Jones Tax Relief in the next hour. | ||
| If there was a theme for today, I would say it's being a good steward. | ||
| I talked about the parable of talents at the beginning of the show. | ||
| And just, you know, we need to be a good steward of what... | ||
| God blesses us with not only monetarily, but of the talents, the information that we have, making sure that we're sharing that with others and warning others because, man, the days seem short, don't they? | ||
| So going to be talking and continuing that theme, if you will. | ||
| But I did want to go over a couple other things before I get back to your phone calls. | ||
| Obviously, as a former mainstream media person, having been a lead anchor for, gosh, nearly 10 years on traditional local news, I always am paying attention to what mainstream media is doing, traditional media is doing, and how they're approaching subjects. | ||
| And I just continue to be blown away by just how dramatically it's changed. | ||
| I mean, gosh, it's never been perfect. | ||
| Journalism has always had its problems and its faults, but it has never been more clear just how corrupt it's become, how corporate-driven it's become, how much propaganda and lies have been pushed, and how, right now, how they're just playing complete recon for this current administration. | ||
| They might as well be considered public relations. | ||
| It's funny, when I was in school, People that... | ||
| Majored in what my major was, broadcast journalism. | ||
| It's like their minor was always public relations. | ||
| It was like something that made sense is like a fallback. | ||
| And I was like, oh, heck no. | ||
| That was one that was like, nope, I have no interest in public relations whatsoever. | ||
| I just want to do this thing or I'll fall back on something completely different. | ||
| So I had started with a minor in theater and then ended up, as I was getting into the family financial business, ending up switching that minor to finance. | ||
| But... Public relations was never for me. | ||
| Now, traditional journalism has just straight up become public relations. | ||
| There's no keeping those in power accountable, you know, challenging those, examining motivations and conflicts of interest is just gone. | ||
| It's just gone. And we're seeing that now more than ever. | ||
| We have The Atlantic with a Leave Joe Biden Alone article here. | ||
| It says... | ||
| This is written by Tom Nichols. | ||
| Biden's been a good president, but Republicans want to impeach him and some Democrats want to replace him. | ||
| I mean, can you imagine if there'd ever been an article that said, leave Trump alone? | ||
| No, they were all like savages just trying to pounce on anything they could, constantly keeping track of the so-called lies of Trump. | ||
| But we didn't see that and don't see that with Biden, even though there's irrefutable lies that he tells. | ||
| Where is the track record for that? | ||
| It says these days, I think he's done a pretty good job, especially given the fact he's dealing with a pandemic, revelations about an attempted American coup d'etat and an economic slowdown. | ||
| It's always excuses. So it's not only does President Biden have excuses, but you have places like the Atlantic also with the excuses. | ||
| This part of the article says, a USA Today columnist Jill Lawrence pointed out this morning, the Republicans are determined, they're determined to impeach Biden because they have no other play, even if it's not what voters want. | ||
| What? You impeached President Trump, not once, but twice. | ||
| Was it what voters wanted? | ||
| I mean, even if we believe the voting record, what they say, no, half of... | ||
| Or nearly half, again, if you believe those numbers, wanted Trump to be re-elected. | ||
| Get the impeachment not once but twice. | ||
| And we have come to find out it was all bogus. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was all bogus. | |
| And yet, in this article, the Republicans are determined to impeach Biden because they have no other play? | ||
| We're determined to impeach him? | ||
| No, you guys impeached Trump twice for completely bogus BS. Sorry about that. | ||
| Anyways, and then you have Washington Post says, give Biden a break. | ||
| You know, so the Atlantic says, leave Joe Biden alone. | ||
| Then you got Washington Post, give Biden a break. | ||
| For weeks, Democrats have arrayed themselves in traditional circular firing formation, complaining about the president's failure to channel outrage about mass shootings, the Supreme Court's overturning Roe v. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wade and MAGA Republicans' assault on democracy. | |
| This produced post-Independence Day fireworks in a tree of news outlets. | ||
| So this Washington Post article is criticizing any bit of trying to hold this president accountable. | ||
| So it says... | ||
| Politico reported that Democrats have grown increasingly frustrated. | ||
| CNN top Democrats complained the president isn't acting with the urgency, etc. | ||
| But the news is supposed to, newsflash, hold those in power accountable. | ||
| So even if they just kind of tiptoe around holding this president accountable, then, well, opinion, get Biden a break, comes from the Washington Post. | ||
| It's insane. So it's no question that... | ||
| The Gallup polls reveal public trust in media close to non-existence. | ||
| This is coming from Glenn Greenwald, and he says that public trust in media is close to non-existent. | ||
| This new Gallup poll reveals that only the Democrat-controlled Congress, 7%, is trusted less by the public than TV news, 11%, with newspapers 16%, also very near the bottom. | ||
| Almost zero self-critique from journalists about why. | ||
| Well, this is why. Because you didn't hold up the tenets of journalism. | ||
| Hold those in power accountable. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Be a voice for the voiceless. | |
| Seek the truth. | ||
| Examine conflicts of interest and motivations. | ||
| That has completely gone out the window in favor of being public relations. | ||
| Well, I guess you got your fallback. | ||
| I guess you got what your minor was. | ||
| You're doing it now. | ||
| But calling yourself a journalist, it's insane. | ||
| All right, I'm only down to four minutes, and I did say I was going to get back to your phone call, so I'll save this video for later. | ||
| Len in Illinois. Len, thanks for calling in. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, ma'am. I went to see The Elvis movie. | |
| Yeah. And it was fantastic. | ||
| Yeah, really? Yes, I saw one of the workers for the cinema, and I said, can I say this? | ||
| Can I say this? | ||
| She said, yes, you can say it. | ||
| I said, Elvis had sex appeal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She said, yes, he did. | |
| And then I said that Elvis told Roy Orbison that he had the best voice. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's what he said about Roy. | |
| And I pulled him up and I said, he might have had the best voice, but he didn't have the sex appeal. | ||
| And there's a part in it. | ||
| I saw daughters taking their mothers to it. | ||
| You know, I've seen Top Gun and Jurassic, but this has stayed with me, this movie. | ||
| And I got some privy information about it, too. | ||
| But he goes into a tent, and he's throwing his hands up, and the spirit is on him. | ||
| In that church. | ||
| And this is when he's a little boy, you know. | ||
| And, you know, we got weary people out here. | ||
| And that's what's going to start the revival. | ||
| Weary people calling on the Lord Jesus Christ. | ||
| And that's what he was. | ||
| He was in a situation, him and his mother, you know. | ||
| And he got caught in a trap by a Slim Flam man. | ||
| And I have a friend who Elvis sent David Compton tickets for his daughter when she turned 18 to come to Las Vegas to see him. | ||
| And David Compton died before he got the letter. | ||
| And before she turned 18, Elvis had passed away also. | ||
| And they had not forgotten the pastor, David Compton. | ||
| He's in glory. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Jesus. That's why, see in that tent? | |
| That's why I knew when he sung those gospel songs, the chill bumps came. | ||
| It explained it to me. | ||
| You know? And you need Mr. | ||
| Bennett to start that Freedom Church with a 508. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And let's stand together in a mighty unit. | |
| And because our soul is going to a benefactor. | ||
| It's the devil or the Lord. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And Jesus says, I have everlasting love for you. | |
| Leave it to me. Well, I mean, Elvis definitely had his downfalls, you know, a broken human like so many others, but you feel like there was some redemptive nature in that situation, right? Right, right. | ||
| He was reaching out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know he was. Well, thank you, Len, for your phone call. | |
| We're going to be joined by Tyler Bennett in the next hour to talk about some tax strategies, being a good steward of all God's blessings that he has given us. | ||
| We have that coming up and more after the break. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We are in the third hour of American Journal. | |
| Christy Lee in today, and I'm so grateful to be here with you. | ||
| We have the best audience in the world. | ||
| I love hearing from you, taking your phone calls. | ||
| You're so smart. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I mean, well, obviously, because you're listening to InfoWars. | |
| But yeah, so smart, so supportive, and I just appreciate you so much, and I love that connection that we can have. | ||
| At the top of the show, we did talk about how former Japanese PM Abe was shot during a speech by an assassin in the safest country with the strictest of gun laws. | ||
| This violence happened. | ||
| Wouldn't you know it? Violence can happen by evil people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Even with strict laws against it. | |
| It's amazing. Very sad because he was very anti-communist, very anti-CCP. So I mean, sad regardless, honestly, but very sad that this happened. | ||
| And so that has been big news of the day. | ||
| Been talking about the media and their fawning over and making excuses for Biden. | ||
| We were just talking with Litecoin Underground about ways to get out of the centralization of money. | ||
| We're going to be talking to Tyler Bennett from Jones Tax Relief about how we can handle money and be a good steward of that. | ||
| So kind of the theme of the show has been being a good steward of our money and also our talents and information, making sure that we're spreading truth and honesty and action plans to others. | ||
| And you can do that by sharing all of these stories and band.video and be doing that. So we are going to be joined by Tyler Bennett soon. But in the meantime, I wanted to hit a couple of other of your phone calls. | ||
| We have, let's see, Marcus has been waiting a long time. | ||
| Marcus from my home state of Ohio has some conspiracies for us. | ||
| Marcus, you're on the air. Yes, ma'am. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good morning. How are you? Good. | |
| How are you? I'm doing great. | ||
| Thank you. Before I get into these, it's funny, you can go to conspiracychart.com Oh, gosh. | ||
| Oh, gosh. | ||
| George Floyd being a Christ, I think it's pretty funny, the trans agenda, because last time you talked about how they throw that term around like racism. | ||
| Yeah, I have seen that chart before. | ||
| It's funny, though, because if you really go into that, it's like a lot of them are already, you know, driven through. | ||
|
unidentified
|
George Soros, that's it, but that's funny. | |
| Yeah. Anyways, so yeah, I like to do these with Harrison. | ||
| He's already ranked these, and You give it a 1 if you believe the official narrative and a 10 if you think it's a little more fishier than what we've been told, okay? | ||
| Okay. And out of 5, I've got you at an overall ranking of 45, so here we go. | ||
| How about 9-11? | ||
| Oh, and it's 1 out of 10, right? | ||
| Yep, yep. Okay, yeah, nothing that they told us was true. | ||
| I'm going to go in 10. Solid 10. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All righty. How about Princess Diana? | |
| Yeah, that is suspicious. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'll give that one a seven. | |
| Okay, what about Pearl Harbor's advanced warning? | ||
| Nine. The moon landing? | ||
| This is a sticking point for me. | ||
| I'm like, there's no way we landed on that moon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm a ten. I agree. | |
| And JFK assassination? | ||
| Ooh, man, I've been watching some interesting documentaries on that. | ||
| But there's, gosh, I don't know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Have you watched Everything's a Rich Man's Trick? | |
| That one I started, but I didn't finish. | ||
| I gotta go back to finish watching that one. | ||
| But I'll give that one an eight. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, yeah, I'd definitely suggest you finish watching that. | |
| That's a good one, but that's all I got. | ||
| But I do have a quote to leave everybody with, if you don't mind. | ||
| Yeah, go for it. Old Honest Abe said, if I had eight hours to cut down a tree, I'd spend six hours sharpening my axe. | ||
| That's a good one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thought-provoking. So wrap it up, people. | |
| I appreciate your time. | ||
| Thank you, Marcus. | ||
| Love the loyalty and the calls. | ||
| Always fun. Fun little things for us to do. | ||
| Writing conspiracies and such. | ||
| Hey, it's Friday. | ||
| We're supposed to be having some fun. | ||
| We'd love to hear from more of you. | ||
| We're going to be talking Joe and tax relief next. | ||
| And my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways. | ||
| Then I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. | ||
| That's from 2 Chronicles 7.14. | ||
| 2 Chronicles 7.14. | ||
| That is the verse of the day that I picked because you know... | ||
| This is a time for repentance. | ||
| This is a time to humble ourselves. | ||
| And sin and evil has certainly been exposed, hasn't it? | ||
| And what we're seeing now is, in my mind, it almost seems like a hurting of the evil into certain sections of our country. | ||
| Roe v. Wade, after, you know, what, 50 years, finally gets overturned, giving it back to the states, making them accountable. | ||
| This was a stain on our nation where we were just advocating and putting a stamp of approval on the killing of our most innocent people. | ||
| Our most innocent. | ||
| And this was just kind of nation-ordained for the past 50 years. | ||
| We've finally given that back to the states, making them have to be responsible for this decision. | ||
| And what we've seen in response is almost an overreaction. | ||
| We're going to see abortion become even more cruel than I mean, it's obviously always cruel, but we're going to see it even more radicalized. | ||
| What we're seeing happen in California is insane. | ||
| They're finding ways to basically make it okay and have excuses for aborting children after they're born. | ||
| But what it's doing in my mind is it's centralizing the sin. | ||
| It's showing where this is going to happen, who's asking for this, who's not repenting, and who's actually asking and calling for violence. | ||
| So we're going to see that happen in California. | ||
| We're seeing that happen in New York. | ||
| We're going to see that maybe happen in parts of federally sanctioned protected areas. | ||
| But what I think that this does is it will focus judgment. | ||
| We may see focused judgment in these areas because while our country is turning away from this stain on our nation for the past 50 years, our country as a whole is turning away from it, we're going to see very clearly those that want to continue this violence, that want to continue this This blatant disregard of God's creation. | ||
| So it'll be interesting to see what happens with that. | ||
| I was talking about Biden earlier, who is also a big proponent of the killing of the babies. | ||
| And just, he's been such a disappointment on so many levels. | ||
| You have the news making excuses for him, playing PR. And many of us are just fed up, right? | ||
| So this was funny and kind of refreshing and a good laugh for me to see. | ||
| Lisa Booth, clip number three, I want to show that. | ||
|

|
Lisa, last word to you. | |
| If you had a moment, a salient moment to sit with Joe Biden and offer some advice, what would that advice be to the President of the United States? | ||
| I mean, I'm telling him he sucks and he should resign and he's ruined the country. | ||
| I mean, really and honestly, I have no respect for this man. | ||
| He left Americans behind in Afghanistan. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's intentionally driving up gas prices. | |
| He's doing as much intentional harm to this country as he possibly could. | ||
| So I would have nothing but unkind words to say for him if I'm just being perfectly honest with you. | ||
| So he wouldn't want to hear it. | ||
| I'm not getting an invite anytime soon, Jason. | ||
| I'm not. It's going to get lost in the mail. | ||
| It's so funny. I would tell me socks. | ||
| But it is funny how blatant everything's been. | ||
| You know, the loss of life in Afghanistan, the rising of the gas prices. | ||
| If you talk to people that came here the right way, immigrants that have been here for many years and went through the whole legal process to do it, and you ask them, what do you think is going on? | ||
| What are you observing? And one of those that I talked to that was actually an immigrant from Ukraine, she was like, it... | ||
| It's a blatant destruction of our economy. | ||
| It's a blatant destruction of our nation. | ||
| And we can see that very clearly. | ||
| It's very clear. And so not only that, but you have these things happening with Hunter Biden, the sale of a company that he had a stake in, of our strategic oil reserves to this Chinese company he had a stake in. | ||
| And then right after that, and right after the video comes out of him smoking a crack pipe with his $95,000 bailout for him to supposedly seek help, see him smoking a crack pipe every time, then he's front row at the Freedom Medal ceremony. | ||
| So... I guess what I'm trying to do and tie it in together is it's like they're proud of their sin. | ||
| It's fully out in the open. | ||
| It's not hidden anymore. | ||
| A light has been shown. | ||
| So a light has been shown on the sin and the evil and next comes judgment. | ||
| Right? Right? And that was the verse I chose for today from 2 Chronicles 7.14. | ||
| We are calling for repentance. | ||
| There is action being taken where we're humbling ourselves, praying and seeking His face. | ||
| And that is an opportunity where the Lord will say, I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. | ||
| Meanwhile... There's focused calling, hurting of the sin and evil into focused areas and into where it's very clear those who are completely making a mockery of God and turning their backs on Him. | ||
| And so I think this is a precursor to judgment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, that's my hope and my prayer, right? | |
| And hopefully in the meantime, people will wake up and repent and realize that we may be in the final days. | ||
| So on that note, let's go to... | ||
| Pastor. Pastor David in Missouri. | ||

| Welcome back to the American Journal. | ||
| This is Harrison Smith. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is Harrison Smith, identifying as a woman today. | |
| A woman named Christy. | ||
| Nice to see you again, because again, I am Harrison Smith. | ||
| I'm just identifying as a woman today named Christy. | ||
| So thank you, Tyler Bennett, for joining us. | ||
| We're going to be talking about taxes, which might seem like a weird thing because it's like we're kind of like out of tax season. | ||
| But I imagine with things like this, it's like best to just start with your strategy early, right? | ||
| Well, now that I know you're identifying as Christine, call you Christine, Christine. | ||
| But yeah, so here's the thing is most people think, you know, there's tax season, there's the filing dates, there's April 15th or 18th, whatever it comes down to. | ||
| And then also people file an extension and there is the filing date in October as well. | ||
| Now, if you have an entity, a corporation, there's different filing dates. | ||
| It's March and September as well. | ||
| So... But besides tax filing, because that again is only one season of the year, there's far more important things in the tax world that exist. | ||
| Tax planning is what we call the present, or excuse me, tax preparation is what we call the present, where this year I have to fill out this year's tax returns and pay taxes on last year. | ||
| But the two much more bigger areas of the space are what we call the past and the future. | ||
| The past is tax resolution. | ||
| What that means is I already owe the IRS or the state money more money than I can either comfortably afford to pay back or that I even can afford to pay back, so I need some help. | ||
| And if that's the case, that's what we offer because, as I've told... | ||
| I told Harrison and other people. | ||
| Me. I am Harrison. | ||
| I'm just identifying as a woman today. | ||
| Go on. Well, see, I don't know what you remember after your change. | ||
| You know, it's a big surgery. | ||
| Well, you know. Anyways. | ||
| I needed to feel comfortable in the skin that I desired, not that I was born in, but go on. | ||
| So basically, when you don't pay your taxes, and most people just don't pay their taxes, they don't file their taxes, and that is where they get into trouble. | ||
| If I don't pay my taxes, that's not illegal. | ||
| Eventually, they will harass me over it, but the penalties that accrue are minor. | ||
| If I don't file my taxes, we're talking about draconian penalties that can lead up to tax evasion charges because... | ||
| If I don't file my taxes and I'm making money, by definition, I am under-reporting that income, which is illegal. | ||
| And so the name of the game here is, look, we all know the globalists control everything, the top five banks. | ||
| Get into that in a second. | ||
| But at the end of the day, we exist in this world. | ||
| And so even though we don't agree with them, we still have to play by certain rules. | ||
| Now, we're going to make sure we're paying these people. | ||
| Is this rendered to Caesar that which is Caesar? | ||
| Correct. And it says that in the Bible, rent the Caesars, that what is Caesars, but what we say is not a penny more. | ||
| Yes, yes. Because, listen, all that extra money that the government's receiving, we know what they're doing with it. | ||
| They're sending it to Ukraine. | ||
| Biden's giving it to China. | ||
| They're not giving it to the Americans. | ||
| I mean, and we've just found out that there's going to be ways where they can take our tax money that we have earned, our tax money that we're having to legally give to the government. | ||
| They're taking that money and they're going to be able to give it and use it in states like California to continue their plan of things that people may not agree with, like abortion and what they have planned. | ||
| So we need to make sure that we give them as little as possible, right? | ||
| Absolutely. And let me tell you something. | ||
| I live in the state of California, and it's worse than that. | ||
| Gavin Newsom just signed another law where in California, the biggest thing they like handing out is entitlements, okay? | ||
| Of course, there's all these other things we're paying for, but... | ||
| The governor just signed a check that, you know, we're going to give everybody another $1,000. | ||
| See, the problem with that is that it's called an inflation check. | ||
| Like, here's $1,000 for inflation. | ||
| What they don't realize is by giving the economy more money, they're making inflation worse, A. And also, in California, I don't know when the last time you were in L.A. or San Francisco. | ||
| Well, I mean, that was the last place I lived before moving to Texas was California. | ||
| Don't blame you. You know, so, I mean, I am thankful to have gotten out on, because they're horrible stewards of money. | ||
| That's kind of how I started this show out, is, you know, I was talking to a crypto guy in the last hour, and talking to you this hour, obviously, and I just, the theme here, I think, is being a good steward. | ||
| You know, we talk about rendering to Caesar that which is Caesar's, but at the same time, God expects us to be good stewards, not only of our The theoretical talents that he's given us and the information that we get, being a good steward of that, but also monetarily. | ||
| He doesn't want us to bury something in the ground and not be smart with it. | ||
| So tax strategy is another way we can be a good steward of his blessings, right? | ||
| Absolutely, because the thing is, is we know that the most inefficient place to put our money is the bureaucracy, right? | ||
| Whether we agree with the regime or not, they're probably not going to be most effective with their money as you will be. | ||
| For example, let's say I do want to support what they want to do, so I pay extra taxes, but that's not necessarily going towards those things. | ||
| Now, if I just donate money towards a charity... | ||
| That fixes, let's say, let's fix the homeless people situation in California. | ||
| I know all my money is going towards that cause. | ||
| If I am supporting a politician or a regime that claims that as their goal, well we all know that all that money goes into a pot and at the end of the day they can spend it and do spend it on whatever the heck they want. | ||
| Which in California is entitlements and for the federal government is Ukraine and subsidies to China for gas. | ||
| Now, I have not been the best when it comes to tax strategy. | ||
| In the past, you know, being a busy mom at one point, a single mom, I always... | ||
| That change was very successful. | ||
| Yeah, right? I mean, anyone can be a mom, duh. | ||
| So anyways, in the past, I really, really liked getting that refund check. | ||
| So I would like, my strategy would basically be to claim more so that I'd get more back, which is totally stupid, I'm sure. | ||
| So tell me how stupid that was. | ||
| Well, listen, I understand because everybody who has warm blood and isn't a communist wants to pay the least amount of taxes possible, right? | ||
| So I get that. When you're on a W-2, it's tough because they're taking taxes out of your paycheck. | ||
| Now, if you do file more dependents than you have, that's what a lot of people do. | ||
| The problem with that is there is a 100% legal way to do that, and that's technically lying to the government. | ||
| We don't want to lie to the government. What you can do if you don't want to pay your taxes out of your check, you're still going to have to pay Medicare and certain taxes like that, is file exempt. | ||
| Okay? And that means your employer will not take your taxes out of your paycheck. | ||
| However... You will have a tax bill at the end of the year. | ||
| That's what I was always trying to avoid. | ||
| I didn't want to owe, so I would make sure. | ||
| Let me tell you why you would rather owe than get money back. | ||
| At the end of the year, you owe money to the government. | ||
| We're still talking about there's been no interest or penalties are added. | ||
| You have your actual debt. | ||
| But if I pay that debt as I go over long and the government is holding my money in trust until I file my tax return and I determine and we determine how much I actually owe and they're going to cut me that refund check for the difference, there is no interest on that. | ||
| You could have made more money just having that in a savings account sitting there, especially if you put it into an index fund or something that was good. | ||
| Not crypto right now. | ||
| But, you know, that's the thing. | ||
| And that's what I always tell people is do not give the government an interest-free loan. | ||
| Because let's say the other situation where you owe them back taxes for a couple years, believe me, they are tacking on, you know, Thousands, tens of thousands of dollars in some cases in interest, you know, every year. | ||
| So it's a two-sided system and don't let them borrow your money for free. | ||
| Yeah, but if you don't want to have a surprise bill and not have the money, there may be other ways that you can do that. | ||
| Like you said, almost like creating an escrow for yourself. | ||
| We'll talk more about that and other tax strategies to be a good steward of the money God blesses us with after the break. | ||

You're tuned in to The American Journal with your host, Christy Lee. | |
| Watch it live right now at band.video. | ||
| I guess we didn't want to confuse people too much when I said I was Harrison Smith, identifying as Christy Lee. | ||
| We wanted to actually make clear that you know, yes, this is Christy Lee. | ||
| I am a woman. I identify as a woman. | ||
| I know it's shocking. | ||
| Not Harrison. That is the case. | ||
| That is the case. So here with Tyler Bennett, a Juris Doctor, an enrolled IRS agent who specializes in saving taxpayers their hard-earned money. | ||
| So this is a fascinating conversation. | ||
| There's so many different directions we can take this. | ||
| But before we move on to the topic of those who've gone independent, because many have been forced into creating their own businesses with all of the mandates and the threats in people's former work, we will get into that. | ||
| But I wanted to finish this other conversation. | ||
| A lot of people, for convenience sake, will sometimes be like, well, I'm going to claim zero or one so that the government can just take the money. | ||
| I won't even see it in that way. | ||
| I know I won't owe at the end of the year. | ||
| And you're saying that's so stupid. | ||
| It is. Let me explain basically how it works. | ||
| So people who file zero, filing zero is saying, I'm not going to take any deductions and get the maximum amount of refund at the end of the year. | ||
| The problem with that is that you're necessarily lending more money to the government than they're going to refund back to you. | ||
| Or excuse me, you have paid in more than you owe, and so they're going to give you a check back. | ||
| But the crazy thing is, is even though they're going to charge you interest every other way, they will not pay you interest on the money that they've been holding all year. | ||
| Even though the inflation rate is 8%, even though the AFR is 4.5%. | ||
| They are not going to pay interest on it. | ||
| So it's kind of a horrible investment to make if you're looking at your money as investment, right? | ||
| And so, sure, you're earning wages for your employer. | ||
| Now, this is where, you know, if you have one deduction, that's... | ||
| Your individual, that's going to be the closest amount of what you're actually going to owe in taxes. | ||
| Now, people who don't know that, there is a way to not pay any tax, as we discussed before, and file exempt. | ||
| That's legal. If you are... | ||
| Single or married and only have two deductions, don't write nine. | ||
| A lot of people do that. | ||
| That's technically illegal. | ||
| You can accomplish and save even more, not pay any taxes by simply writing exempt on the line, and you will have to pay them at the end of the year. | ||
| Now, I don't recommend people who... | ||
| Are gonna have to spend their money before the end of the year to do that. | ||
| But if you are fiscally responsible, that is the only way to not necessarily lose some money due to inflation and negative interest by paying it into the government, if that makes sense. | ||
| Yeah. And so I know that there's a lot of other people that are in my situation where, in my case, I left traditional news media where I was obviously getting a W-2. | ||
| I was getting a salary. | ||
| Um, and now since I've had to leave that in my case, not because of a vaccine exemption, but because they were asking me to continually lie to the public and viewers. | ||
| Um, so I left and I was like, oh, well, if I want to do news and I want to do it right, I got to go independent. | ||
| Um, but this is a whole different world because it's like, man, it's a lot of pressure to make sure that you get the taxes done, right. | ||
| You have to, um, then you're dealing with like a 1099 and then like schedule C. | ||
| So, uh, a lot of, I mean, some people had to leave because of vaccine mandates are now So what do we do? | ||
| Welcome to the real world of taxation, because I would say if the Internal Revenue Code is about this long, which it probably is page to page, about this much of an inch is for wage-earning employees, because they're real easy for the government to figure out. | ||
| That's why the government likes W-2 jobs. | ||
| Now, 1099, if you're an independent contractor or a small business person, and that means you receive payments on 1099s, which also means you get to take deductions on Schedule C, which is something that you could not do in W-2 land. | ||
| And so that's fantastic, right? | ||
| Because now we can write off everything from aspects of your car, meals, advertising expenses. | ||
| There's... The floodgates open to what we can write off against your income, which was just not the case in W2 land. | ||
| Now, the reason that it's more difficult and the reason that it's complex is the government really doesn't want you to only pay to Caesar what is Caesar's. | ||
| They want to get a little bit extra, too. | ||
| And let me show you a chart, because... | ||
| Right here we can see, or I don't know if you can hold it up. | ||
| I think I can put it here in the camera. | ||
| Yeah, there we go. So as you can see, all right, so those three lines, the black line at the bottom is corporate income tax, which has remained about the same over the last 21 years. | ||
| The blue line, which has shot up, Especially in 2020 to 2021, you see, is individual income tax. | ||
| And now this is people on Schedule C, small business owners, who are paying taxes on the individual 1040. | ||
| Wow, just look at that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like, from what is this? 2019 to 2021. | |
| And you can see that- People are like, screw the government! | ||
| It's bigger than any other increase ever. | ||
| Wow, yeah. So here's the thing. | ||
| It would be one thing if the IRS was taking this huge influx of money and spending it on Americans, but we know they're not. | ||
| The Biden administration is doing all sorts of things overseas with money that's really supposed to support Americans. | ||
| But I digress. | ||
| This whole... | ||
| Jump in this chart right here is because of what we were just talking about. | ||
| There's been a lot of people that got laid off from their W-2 job in 2020 and 2019 because of vaccine mandates, etc., etc. | ||
| And now they're small business owners. | ||
| And this shows you that they're paying too much in taxes. | ||
| There's no way that the revenue should have shot up that much. | ||
| They just do not understand the amount of deductions they can take and how to take them. | ||
| Wow. And also, there's different entity structures to be in. | ||
| For example... | ||
| So, I mean, our federal government is actually banking off of these people that have started their own businesses and gone independent because they haven't figured out how to do it right, right? | ||
| Is that what this... 100%. | ||
| This is something like $100 billion right there in just additional income that year. | ||
| And like I said... | ||
| It would be one thing if the IRS was using it for the IRS, but they're just pumping it up the line to the Biden administration. | ||
| And so, like I said, don't give your money, people, to other people that hate you and disagree with your views. | ||
| Or buying their own ammunition and guns, whatever that's about. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. Like, what the heck? | ||
| I was like, why does the IRS have its own, like, artillery? | ||
| I don't get this. | ||
| So the IRS has formed recently, it's called J5. It is the Internal Revenue Service, Her Majesty's Revenue Service, Australian Revenue, Germany Revenue, and one more, I can't remember. | ||
| But anyways, they are the new global tax force. | ||
| And they carry not just handguns, they carry rifles. | ||
| So these are the tax collectors that will carry a machine gun into your house to collect money. | ||
| You can believe that. And they're global. | ||
| They're worldwide because it's a joint task force. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And the real thing that they were created for- If you're hearing this for the first time, you might be like, what? | |
| The IRS has guns. | ||
| They would come up. They would threaten me with the guns. | ||
| Like, this sounds crazy. | ||
| This sounds like some Infowars conspiracy stuff. | ||
| But no, look it up. | ||
| There's actually a Forbes article that went into this about the IRS and their ammunition. | ||
| It's insane. So there's actually three units down at the IRS that have guns. | ||
| One is the Criminal Investigation Division. | ||
| Obviously, if you're being investigated for a tax crime, which is not not paying your taxes, that's like millions of dollars of tax evasion. | ||
| Those guys carry guns. | ||
| There is TIGDA. That's the Treasury Inspector General. | ||
| They carry guns as well, and they're kind of the mid-ground. | ||
| Like, we don't know if you're committing a crime or not, but we want to scare you with our guns. | ||
| And then, like I said, J5. | ||
| And that's where if they show up, oh, you're already in trouble. | ||
| Because, you know, at that level, the feds, like federal prosecutors, if we're talking about DOJ, I'm sure you're aware of this. | ||
| They never go after anybody unless they have a 99% sure shot that they're going to convict that person. | ||
| And that's why federal prosecutors have almost 100% conviction rate, as opposed to the states, which will sue you for anything and see what sticks. | ||
| The IRS is completely different because they will attack you without even knowing how much money you owe. | ||
| So a big thing that the IRS does is obviously collections. | ||
| They're the largest collection agency in the world. | ||
| They're so powerful that they use the top five banks, the globalist banks, to collect for them. | ||
| For example, if I owe the IRS $20,000, the IRS is going to call up Chase and say, hey, give us the 20 grand out of his account. | ||
| And they're not just going to take the 20 grand. | ||
| They're going to clean out my entire account. | ||
|

|
Oh, my gosh. More on this after the rig. | |
| La, la, la, la, la, wait till I get my money right. | ||
| Oh! Perfect song. | ||
| That's what we've been talking a lot about money today. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We've been talking about fake money, digital money. | |
| And how to keep your money. | ||
| Right now we've been talking with Tyler Bennett from Jones Tax Relief. | ||
| Jonestaxrelief.com. | ||
| Jonestaxrelief.com. | ||
| Make sure that you can keep more of your money and not give it to the government. | ||
| If you don't have a web browser, you can call 833-900-4285. | ||
| 833-900-4285. | ||
| Talking about all kinds of crazy stuff, particularly that the IRS, the government hates guns. | ||
| We talk about violence, how we get these assault rifles off of the streets. | ||
| No one needs an assault rifle, Hillary Clinton says. | ||
| No one. No one needs an assault rifle, Hillary Clinton says, except for the IRS. Apparently the IRS, they need assault rifles to come after you if they don't get their money, right? | ||
| So, Tyler Bennett, you were talking about, like, this is real. | ||
| They can come... Guns a blazing. | ||
| They can. And you know, from a political science standpoint, it comes back to the whole nation versus the state argument, right? | ||
| And so, even like Thomas Hobbes said, there is a social contract between the nation and the state. | ||
| That is, the people give up some of their rights to be protected by the government. | ||
| The problem is in the extreme when the government has all the guns and soon all the money because they've been attacking your guns forever. | ||
| And now they're coming after your money as well on trifecta with... | ||
| You know, inflation that's off the chain with increasing because of inflation and they do not increase your standard deduction and tax deductions. | ||
| Likewise, you will necessarily pay more in taxes as inflation goes up. | ||
| So they're hitting you there. They're hitting you there. | ||
| And they're also hitting you at the gas pump and at the grocery store as well. | ||
| So they're attacking your money because there's only two things that can take down inflation. | ||
| A regime that has gone sour and no longer serves the people or is trying to take over and become despotic. | ||
| And that is an armed populace and a well-funded populace. | ||
| And so that's why they want to take the guns and that's why they want to take the money. | ||
| Because if the middle class has no guns and no money, they have no power against the government. | ||
| But so as we were talking about before is the people on the top that pay the least amount of taxes, they engage in better business entities and structures than the middle class. | ||
| And this is due to a lack of education. | ||
| There's all sorts of things out there that exist that I'm going to talk about right now. | ||
| That we can help you out with that you may or may not have heard of, but may not be familiar with how to do it. | ||
| And this is how the people at the top pay the least amount of taxes and stay on this line as opposed to this line. | ||
| But see down here, this is the corporate tax rate. | ||
| So when we talk about corporations, since 2017, the TCJA, the GOP tax cut, lowered the corporate tax rate, which is a flat rate from 35% to 21%. | ||
| So since 2017, Corporations are taxed at a flat rate at about half of what the highest paying individual taxpayers are taxed at. | ||
| And this is business income still. | ||
| So everything a corporation makes, they can write off all their expenses against it. | ||
| So to answer your question, you're out there, people out there, they're no longer on a W-2 jobs, they're working for themselves. | ||
| They might start out as a sole proprietor. | ||
| That means you're just working under your social security number on Schedule C. We're good to go. | ||
| But your bread and breakfast is an LLC. Now they can't come after your personal assets. | ||
| This is also the type of thing that does nothing to help your tax situation. | ||
| The two types of entities that are going to help you pay less in taxes are corporations, S-Corps, and C-Corps. | ||
| S-Corps will allow you to cut down 7.5% of your taxable income because you only have to pay half of what's called self-employment tax, and that's 15%. | ||
| Now, the real- Now, see, this is crazy because you typically hear small businesses and those that have just gone independent, you know, that the best thing to do is an LLC. But like you're saying, it might actually be a corporation? | ||
| Especially if you're making a decent chunk of change being defined as $150,000 or more, you need to be in a corporation. | ||
| If you have employees, you need to be in a corporation because the corporate protections... | ||
| Are so much greater. | ||
| Plus, you can write off everything. | ||
| Everybody you employ, obviously, is a write-off, including yourself. | ||
| So what you do here, Christine, is form a corporation and pay yourself from that corporation on a W-2. | ||
| Now, you personally are back in W-2 land. | ||
| The government's happy that you're paying the W-2 taxes, but you get to write them off against the corporation that you own. | ||
| So your effective tax rate between your corporation and your individual 1040 is lower than what it would be had you just been using one or the other. | ||
| So we're talking to Tyler Bennett about tax strategies, and we are advocating for rendered Caesar, that which is Caesar's butt. | ||
|

|
Don't give Caesar any more money than you need to. | |
| So we're going to do this right and there's actual strategies to do it right. | ||
| Now, in my last hour, I was talking to someone and some individuals about crypto. | ||
| Wanted to get your take on that. | ||
| Some people kind of infer that crypto is another way to kind of hide money from the government and might be a tax strategy of its own. | ||
| What are your thoughts on that? | ||
| Okay, so the crypto spear right now, the government is terrified of it. | ||
| And that's why we hear all these things. | ||
| And it's actually interesting because a lot of the things that the government is claiming about crypto, they're not saying on mainstream media channels to the American public because the things they're saying are that people involved in crypto are more likely not criminals, scammers, this kind of thing, which is just not true. | ||
| I mean, there's bad people everywhere. | ||
| Right? Just because I go down and spend some money on Ethereum doesn't mean that I'm a scammer. | ||
| I'm trying to avoid paying income taxes. | ||
| Now, the thing is, when I read this article in Al Jazeera, because it wasn't reported in America, seriously, they're saying the IRS has targeted everybody with crypto assets. | ||
| Now, here's the thing. You can't lie to the government, right? | ||
| But the last time you filled out a 1040, that first box said, do you own any crypto assets? | ||
| It didn't even ask you what you owned or how much it was because now that you signed that check, they know that you're on this list. | ||
| And here's the thing. | ||
| You can't lie to the government because the real trick was if you didn't sign that box and you did have crypto assets, well, now that's a felony, right? | ||
| Wow. So the name of the game is to pay the least amount of taxes possible, not commit a crime. | ||
| Yeah. Correct? And so with crypto, look... | ||
| If you're in crypto, more likely than not, you're severely down right now, and I feel your pain. | ||
| But there are certain things that exist in the crypto world that do not exist anywhere else because of the lack of regulation that we can use to legally lower your taxable income. | ||
| For example, the wash sale prevention rule is a major SEC rule that says, my stock goes down, I can't just sell it and buy it back 30 seconds later to... | ||
| Generate a loss that I can use somewhere else. | ||
| You absolutely can do that with crypto. | ||
| So if your Bitcoin is down 60% right now, we can wash sale that tax loss harvest and take that loss and use it against other capital gains that you may have elsewhere in your life. | ||
| One of the smartest things that my father ever said, which I think he honestly stole from somebody else, but is you don't know what you don't know. | ||
| And it's so true. | ||
| You really don't know what you don't know. | ||
| So it's important to find out what you don't know so that you're not overpaying and so that you can be doing things legally. | ||
| That's what's cool about Jones Tax Relief. | ||
| Jonestaxrelief.com is you can find out what you know that you don't know. | ||
| It was Donald Rumsfeld who said, we have the known knowns, we have the known unknowns, and we have the unknown unknowns. | ||
| And that's true. You really don't know what you don't know. | ||
| And what I keep going back to is, hey, listen, when I went to high school, when I went to college, I didn't learn anything about... | ||
| Oh, is it Socrates? Nice! | ||
| It's always somebody older, right? | ||
| Nothing's original. Anyways, they do not teach this in school. | ||
| And at first, when I was going through school, I'm like, oh, okay, maybe that's because someone else is going to do it. | ||
| No, they want to keep you down by intelligence. | ||
| That's the thing. The biggest difference besides money in this country between the classes is education. | ||
| Mm-hmm. And the least amount of education they can give you, the less effective you will be in, you know, making sure they don't violate your rights. | ||
| So you can, I mean, speaking of education, you can get a free consultation. | ||
| Absolutely. And so make sure you can go to jonstaxrelief.com, jonstaxrelief.com, or you can call 833-900-4285, 833-900-4285. | ||
