Glenn Greenwald and Harrison Smith dissect the $965M Alex Jones defamation verdict as a weaponized legal attack on dissent, contrasting it with corporate malfeasance fines. They link Ukraine’s $55B aid request to NATO’s nuclear drills, framing AOC’s criticism as suppression of skepticism toward war narratives. Patrick Byrne warns of systemic rights erosion akin to Bezmenov-Syop psyops, urging election observers via onemoremission.com to regain Congress control in 26 days—positioning Trump as Speaker to halt Biden’s agenda and prevent nuclear escalation. The episode ties financial censorship, media bias, and geopolitical tensions into a globalist "New World Order" resistance strategy. [Automatically generated summary]
Special day. Yes, folks, at the same time that Kanye West is being kicked off of Getting kicked out of his bank.
Cat turd also.
Twitter user.
Not able to have a bank account anymore.
Same time that Stuart Rhodes of the Oath Keepers is being charged with seditious conspiracy for attending a protest in which other people elsewhere Got in scuffles with police.
While the January 6th committee meets once again to continue their fabricated threat of domestic terror, as Donald Trump faces lawsuits from the New York Attorney General's office, Alex Jones has been sued and charged a billion dollars for questioning the official story of events at Sandy Hook.
It's not a great time for the First Amendment.
But that's not going to stop us from exercising it.
So we'll do that today.
We'll talk about the case, the trial, the billion-dollar decision.
Maybe we'll say some things that we weren't able to say during the trial.
I don't know. We'll definitely take your phone calls about it.
And I want to go to this video now.
It's Alex's lawyer, Norm Pattis.
I thought he did an excellent job outside of the courtroom yesterday responding to this billion-dollar verdict.
Let's go now to clip number two.
unidentified
OK, let's listen in. We disagree with the basis of the defaults.
We disagree with the court's evidentiary rulings.
In more than 200 trials in the course of my career, I've never seen a trial like this.
And we very, very, very much look forward to an appeal.
The jurors heard that Mr.
Jones was responsible for the creation of all the craziness that affected the Sandy Hook world and the Sandy Hook parents.
You and I, we all know better.
Why the jury was permitted to make a decision based on an incomplete record is a mystery to us, and it's a mystery that we will address in the appellate court.
From my perspective, this is as dark and disturbing an experience in court as I have had in a professional lifetime, and that includes cases involving the death of children and the murder of spouses.
So, we look forward to our prospects on appeal.
I congratulate the folks at Koskoff, Koskoff and Bieder.
My heart goes out to the families.
We live in divided times.
They've been weaponized and used for political purposes in this country, in my view.
And today is a very, very, very dark day for freedom of speech.
Norm Pattis giving his statement after the decision, the billion-dollar decision, $965 million to be exact.
Absolutely wild.
And as he put it, a dark day, one of the strangest and most disturbing cases he's ever been involved in after a career spanning hundreds of cases, including the most high-profile criminal cases you can possibly imagine.
And yet, what happened in the courtroom last week and over the last couple months is completely unprecedented.
I mean, even crazier than the first lawsuit in Texas.
And I was trying to do some research yesterday, just trying to find out how this compares to other similar defamation trials.
And the fact is that there are no similar defamation trials.
This is so unprecedented, what's happening to Alex Jones.
It's without compare.
You can't find precedents in history of this type of thing happening.
You search the most famous defamation trials, you get celebrities suing tabloids for $3,000 for questioning an injury.
This type of thing just doesn't happen.
The only thing that would be remotely close to be something like Gawker publishing...
Without permission, publishing pornography of a famous person.
That's like the only thing even remotely comparable.
And of course, what they did was completely egregious.
And with that excuse, Alex Jones gave his opinion, questioning the official story of the major national tragedy and reflecting what was already a widespread theory on the internet.
We'll talk about it more on the other side.
We'll do your daily dispatch. Take your phone calls.
Show you some videos. Keep rolling on, shall we?
unidentified
Let's do it.
Cheers.
You're tuned in to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith.
Huh? All right, folks, we're going to get into all of it here today.
We got lots of news to cover.
We have just a good solid helping of videos to show you.
We'll be taking your calls throughout the show today as well.
And yes, we're very excited to discuss the decision, the big decision, a billion dollars nearly in fines.
In fact, that's our top story. So let's just get into it.
to it here it is your daily dispatch all right here it is folks your daily dispatch for thursday october 13th 2022 Jury awards nearly a billion dollars to Sandy Hook families in Alex Jones' case.
That's the headline from CNN. Alex Jones faces a reckoning, but the style of politics he popularized is here to say this article by some sort of possum that appears to have just discovered a tasty treat.
Goes by the name of Oliver Darcy.
Which is, it's sort of ironic, isn't it?
Iconic? I don't know what it is, but it's symbolic, perhaps.
That the reason that Alex Jones gets kicked off of Twitter, ostensibly, was for mocking Oliver Darcy.
Remember, he bullied Oliver Darcy.
He said he looked like a possum, just come out of a dead cow's butt.
And that's the reason that they said he got kicked off Twitter, because he did it during a Twitter live stream.
I should know, I was the one holding the phone at the time, filming it happen.
That may have also been Alex taking the phone from me to get a closer shot because then at some point he turns the phone to me to compare my eyes with Oliver Darcy's to show what a living human being looks like as opposed to an MSM zombie.
Yeah, I was in the building for the big tech hearings.
Same day that Alex Jones was yelling, Google is evil, Google is evil.
So it's just, you know, they finally got what they wanted.
They finally got their wish.
I mean, InfoWars is down.
We've been defeated. We're not live streaming right now.
We're not broadcasting to you right now.
No, they're going to keep fighting.
They're going to keep trying to destroy us.
They're going to keep trying to destroy us piecemeal, part by part.
And we'll continue to fight back and use all the legal avenues possible.
We will be... Appealing this ruling?
Obviously. Because what?
A billion dollars?
What? It's just...
Okay. Fantastic.
I love it. I mean, that's the way Alex was covering yesterday on his show.
He was like, it's the same as all these other leftist lies.
They believe their delusion.
They actually think we have a billion dollars and that they're going to get it.
It doesn't exist. Sorry, folks.
Just like your claims of domestic terror.
Just like the safety of the vaccine.
Just like the...
Threat of Russia and Ukraine.
Like, it's all imaginary. You people believe in a fantasy world and they're very upset that we poke holes in that facade and pop that fantastical balloon.
But just to compare some of these, we've got some wonderful tweets here.
Michael Malice says, by way of comparison, O.J. Simpson was ordered to pay $33 million to the families for wrongful deaths of his two victims.
So he got away with the criminal charge, but then they did a civilian charge, whatever you call it.
Same type of court that Alex was in.
So for killing, and he was found guilty in that court.
He was found responsible for the deaths in that court.
So... Kill two people with a knife, behead them, and leave their children motherless.
$33.5 million.
Question the mainstream media.
$1 billion. Got it.
Purdue pharmaceutical executives were ordered to pay $634.5 million fines in the Oxycontin case compared to Alex Jones ordered to pay $965 million for Sandy Hook lies.
So again, just so we're clear, poison an entire nation, kill tens of or perhaps hundreds of thousands of people, pay doctors to push your pills on unsuspecting victims who then become addicted, have their lives ruined, and eventually die from your malpractice.
Not as bad as questioning the official story of a mass shooting.
Just keep that in mind when you're researching Uvalde, okay?
Chase Geiser calls this political assassination.
Huffington Post, Sandy Hook families get $1.5 million settlement from the Lanza estate.
You know, from the people that actually killed their children.
$1.5 million.
And about a thousand times that for Alex Jones questioning it.
And that really was the strangest thing about the entire trial was that there was no line between The parents talking about the suffering that was caused by their young child being murdered and Alex Jones talking on the internet.
Like, it was seamless.
They would move from the questions about what it was like to lose a child and then just, without transition, imply it was Alex Jones that was responsible for all of that suffering.
They show up to pay, except, I don't know, call me crazy, I don't think Alex Jones is ever lying.
I think he was just saying what he thought about the things that he was saying.
So, it's kind of not fair, not appropriate, not correct to associate him with the known liars at the mainstream media who actively pushed a vaccine that has left...
Modern estimates are up to 20 million people dead from the shots.
And they knew the entire time that what they were pushing was not scientifically backed, but they told you it was.
That's lying. That's open deception.
That is falsification of facts.
Alex Jones just watched videos and said, this is weird.
I don't trust this. That's not a lie.
Jen Psaki celebrates billion-dollar ruling against Alex Jones.
End of Info Wars would be a public service.
Yes, it's good to know our public servants there in the federal government view the American people like this.
Destroying this business, eliminating our ability to speak out and broadcast would be a public service.
Why? Because we question her.
Because we point out By the way, do you know that Jen Psaki worked for the Obama administration until Trump won when she went over to work for WestExec, which was run by Anthony Blinken, which their entire purpose of existence was to facilitate government contracts between big tech companies and the Defense Department and military industrial complex?
Do you think she's not behind some of this censorship?
unidentified
Folks, we may have gone a little off the rails here.
Let's listen. But we will be at it as long as it takes.
And if you're out there right now and you're one of Alex Jones' audience members and you're considering giving him money, I just want you to know that based on the jury's verdict today, it's not a very good bet.
And to go back to what Robbie Parker said, All Alex Jones does is take from you, exploit you, lie to you, feed your fears and your anxieties and your mistrust.
And the only person that benefits in that equation is him.
Well, that stops. That's stopping today, thanks to the courage of these families.
A stern and heartfelt warning to all of you listening to me right now.
Don't you dare go give Alex Jones money.
Don't you dare give Alex Jones the funds he needs to continue to operate.
He calls it a bad bet.
What are you betting on? Your own country?
Your own humanity? Yourself?
Are war bonds a bad bet?
When you're in a conflict of existential nature for the very existence of the human race, is that a bad bet to contribute to the fight on behalf of humanity against the overlords?
Is that a bad bet? I think it's a pretty good bet.
I think it's about the only sure thing you can count on these days is that Alex Jones is the real deal.
Is not going to give up and is not going to stop fighting, is not going to stop doing what he actually does, which is not lie or make things up or exploit anybody.
It's tell the truth and point out the lies of the mainstream media and be right about everything and expose the criminality at the very highest echelons of our global establishment.
I think he's going to continue doing that.
I think we're going to continue doing that.
And I think the legal process is in place to allow us to continue doing that.
For at least a little while. At least until it gets through the appeals court, which could take years.
Who knows? Who knows how long it will continue to operate.
I guess it's entirely up to our audience and whether this lawsuit somehow convinced people that Alex Jones isn't the real deal.
I mean, that's kind of pathetic.
I don't think that actually happened with anybody.
I don't think anybody that actually watches Alex Jones and actually listens to what he has to say and actually pays attention to his actions and his words and his everything he puts out.
I mean, the man is live for three to four hours every single day, five days a week, six days a week, actually.
Right, forgot about Sunday. You know what he thinks.
You know what he believes. You know what he does with his life and his time.
If you think he's exploiting you, I don't even know how to address that claim.
Yeah, let's talk about that a little bit.
He's the hardest working man I've ever met in my life.
Go ahead, Matt. Yeah, no, I just want to talk a little bit about that press conference because that really does give me the impression that it's not about the money.
It's really about trying to take Alex down.
Of course. Right? And so, you know, of course, I was working on that emergency broadcast late last night with a lot of the other crew, and I got back, and of course, one of my neighbors was up, and we had this conversation because they had seen the verdict, you know, and we talked about it.
Lost Train of Thought00:02:20

And she brings up, you know, essentially what the attorney was saying.
But we were talking about distrust of the government, and I said, you know, even if it's not necessarily warranted, like he doesn't have proof that the government did wrong, you know, when we talk about mistrust of the government, does this government deserve trust?
One of the biggest aspects, one of my biggest quarrels is all of the black budget funding that our government has.
It gives so much room for conspiracy theory.
And if it was on the up and up, why wouldn't they be able to talk about it?
Him and others. While they championed the Iraq war, Alex led protests against it.
While they mocked Trump, Alex flew a Hillary for prison planner over the DNC. While they called Waco victims extremist weirdos, Alex helped the survivors rebuild their church.
While they called drag queen story time a blessing of liberty, Alex was tearing his shirt off and yelling, they're coming for your children!
While they got vaxxed, Alex was taking ivermectin on air.
While they trusted the science, Alex Jones warned of vaccine IDs and supply chain collapse.
While they gracefully accepted defeat, Alex Jones led marches against voter fraud.
Your Daily Dispatch for Thursday, October 13, 2022.
Take two. Our top story here.
Jury awards nearly $1 billion to Sandy Hook families in Alex Jones' case.
Yes, the day of reckoning has arrived, according to CNN's Oliver Darcy.
The possum in chief there.
The decision comes shortly after a trial in Texas where a jury found the Infowars founder should pay a separate pair of Sandy Hook parents who sued him in the Lone Star State nearly $50 million.
Billion, million, what's it even matter anymore?
Yes, we have...
Change the world. We have been a force of media unparalleled in this country.
We have exposed endless lies.
We have been right on every position from the Iraq war to chemicals and the food and water to the NSA and the spying on American people and Julian Assange to the war in Syria.
Bullhorning Bilderberg and Davos and the World Economic Forum and other meetings of massive leaders, the Patriot Act, to just about every other topic under the sun, there's a reason that Alex Jones, with no institutional or establishment support whatsoever, has been able to not just be a major part of, but actually dominate the entire media landscape, even after being censored off of the entire internet as a test case.
For full-fledged cancellation of a human being because of the ideas that they say.
And now the attack against Alex Jones has taken another step forward.
And once again, the decent-thinking people of this country have a decision to make.
Do you stand up for the unpopular guy who is having his rights destroyed?
Or do you bury your head in the sand and hope that the angel of death passes over you when your time comes?
I guess we'll wait and see. In the meantime, we're not shutting down.
We are continuing. We will appeal.
We will continue to operate as long as So, just know, I know, you don't want to give us money and have it just go directly into the...
Pockets of other people, but for the time being, it's not.
It's going towards paying for the expenses that it costs to run this operation.
So, we will continue. The decision has been made, and we will continue to operate as long as you continue to go to Infowarsstore.com.
We will fight on.
But moving on, NATO to proceed with planned nuclear exercises next week.
Oh, by the way, I know it's not the biggest story.
It probably should be.
It should probably be a major story.
You should probably have people standing up against this and speaking out against it and raising some alarm bells about this.
NATO to proceed with planned nuclear exercises last week.
So, no, Ukraine is not in NATO.
They've never signed an agreement.
There is no reason to be embroiling ourselves further in this quickly spiraling out of control conflict with Russia.
But they want war.
It's the only possible decision or outcome you can perceive from this.
What else could it possibly be?
I mean, why is their every action aligned with the proliferation of war if that's not their desire?
They can't be that bad at their jobs.
So, buy your iodine, folks.
Clear and present danger, January 6th committee to describe lingering Trump threat You'll see again these stories from the Daily Dispatch.
It's like you've got the dichotomy.
You've got the stories of how free speech and political opposition is being destroyed in this country, and then the outcomes.
You've got the Alex Jones trial, and then you've got Donald Trump, and then you've got Kanye West, and then you've got, on the other hand, nuclear war and collapse and famine and crime.
So destroy the people that stand up against you, have take full control, cause the collapse, reinstate a new neo-feudal technocratic world order, and the plan is complete.
It's all aligned.
It is one big conspiracy, and the reason we're targeted is because we talk about that.
It has nothing to do with anything Alex Jones may or may not have said 10 years ago.
So this will be the latest and probably final meeting of the select committee.
And this is their last chance Hail Mary attempt to portray Donald Trump as being a violent, insurrectionist, rebellious leader by claiming that Well, his mindset was wrong.
He had the wrong mindset, so I guess he's a criminal now, because that's the way that they're doing it.
Saudi Arabia Foreign Ministry confirms Joe Biden attempted to coerce Kingdom to cut oil prices until after the midterm election.
So just another example here of the absolutely horrifically, almost irreparably destroyed and corrupted system of American-led geopolitics.
On Tuesday, Joe Biden threatened U.S. ally Saudi Arabia during his CNN interview by...
Biden told Jake Tapper that Saudi Arabia will face, quote, We're good to go.
Almost a one-to-one comparison, except in this case, instead of actually trying to investigate corruption in a foreign country that has to do with political figures here, Joe Biden is simply trying to cover up the consequences of his own policies, destroying the Keystone Pipeline, destroying oil production in this country, having to rely on Saudi Arabia, then starting a war with Russia, and putting sanctions out.
Causing gas prices a spike, meaning all of this is entirely his fault.
Now he's trying to cover it up by threatening one of our most long-standing allies in Saudi Arabia.
Just open corruption at its worst.
Then we have this story. JPMorgan Chase kicks Kanye West to the curb following Tucker interview White Lives Matter t-shirt in Paris and controversial Twitter posts.
Last week, Kanye West and Candace Owen wore White Lives Matter t-shirts at a Paris fashion show.
Kanye then went on an hour-long interview with Tucker Carlson.
On Sunday, Kanye West tweeted out he wanted to go DeathCon 3 on Jews.
This got him banned from Twitter, and now he has been kicked out of Chase...
JP Morgan Chase Bank.
They told him they were closing his accounts and they don't want him.
So, you know, I bet he feels stupid.
Bet he feels stupid thinking that there's some sort of Jewish cabal that's going to cancel him for speaking out against them.
Bet you feel stupid now that they shut your bank account.
Bank of America cancels popular conservative Twitter user Cat Turd's bank account.
Hashtag Bank of America is commie trash trends on social media after it.
Earlier today, JPMorgan Chase Bank kicked out outspoken singer-rapper Kanye West and told him they were going to shut his bank accounts.
And now Bank of America has canceled popular conservative Twitter user's Cat Turd's podcast account.
No reason given. All right, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
We are here in the depths of the Great Reset, waging all-out total war on the globalist scumbags who want to put you in a cage.
The nuclear winter tried to offset their scam of climate change, I mean, it's all scam upon scam upon scam.
They are playing off of their fabricated boogeymen, cause fear in the minds of the populace, whether it's COVID-19 or Russia or domestic terror or January 6th.
All of their accusations about fear-mongering when it comes to Infowars is nothing but pure, unadulterated projection of their own tactics.
We aren't here to tell you to be afraid.
We're here to tell you what the reality is and remind you that none of this happens without your capitulation.
None of this can be forced on you if you simply stand up and fight back.
And every single one of us It has equal power to any one of these elite dirtbags to stand up and expose the truth in the face of their lies.
So, that makes you scared.
I'm sorry to tell you that that's being a human being and having responsibility for your life and the world around you.
To manifest your will or have their will manifested upon you.
That's simply how it is.
So, don't be scared of reality.
Face it. And fear not about climate change or Domestic terror or any of the other boogeymen that they claim to see around every corner but, like Bigfoot, can never find evidence for.
I do want to go to one video before we go out to the phone calls here.
I want to go to clip number 10 because this is absolutely brilliant.
I had the guy's name originally, but it was two guys.
And the person who posted this on Twitter says my friend Nogaton and I confronted Congresswoman AOC on her support for nuclear war and Ukrainian Nazis.
Here are the protesters interrupting AOC and calling her out for what she is, a total and complete sellout establishment shill.
unidentified
Let's watch. Congresswoman, none of this matters unless there's a nuclear war, which you voted to send arms and weapons to Ukraine.
Kofi Dabbers, she's left the Democratic Party because there are a bunch of war hawks, okay?
You originally voted, you ran as an outsider, yet you've been voting to start this war in Ukraine.
You're voting to start a third nuclear war with Russia and China.
Why are you playing with the lives of American citizens?
You're playing with our There will be no neighbors if there's a nuclear bomb.
You voted to mobilize and send money to Ukrainian Nazis.
You're a coward.
You're a progressive socialist.
Where are you against the war mobilization?
He's telling the right truth.
You have done nothing.
Tulsi Gabbard has shown guts where you've shown cowardice.
I believed in you, and you became the very thing you sought to fight against.
That's what you've become.
You are the establishment and you are the reason why everybody will end up in a nuclear war unless you choose to stand up right now and denounce the Democratic Party.
Will you do that?
Yes or no?
Okay? Simple.
Are you going to stop nuclear war?
Yes or no? There is no line because this is bullshit.
None of this matters if we're all dead.
None of it. You know that.
Then let's take it up right now because this is the only thing that matters.
This is the only thing that matters right now.
We could be in a nuclear war at any minute and you continue to fund it.
That's what's going on.
Why not right now?
You're the liar here.
Nobody has hold you accountable.
That's what's happening.
And it is time for you to stand up and realize that what you've been saying has been lies.
And literally every single politician should face this.
Everywhere they go, there should be people yelling at them just like this, demanding that they stop this insane drive towards nuclear war.
Especially the hypocrites like AOC, who has completely abandoned the principles that she ran on.
Now, I don't agree with the principles that she ran on in the first place, but at least she pretended to be Anti-war.
And you can hold her to account for that.
And it's good to see progressives actually, you know, not being hoodwinked by Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You think that in order to make change, you have to work with the people at the top because you don't want to dismantle their power.
You want to just take it unto yourselves.
It is a corrupt ideology in the first place.
She's an actress. She was hired by a firm who identified her particular area as vulnerable for an incumbent to be unseated.
So they held tryouts and she applied like an actress and got the role of an actress.
So, you get what you voted for.
You voted for an actress.
You voted for a fraud.
And now you're getting nuclear war.
So, this never happened with Donald Trump.
There was a brief time where we thought it was going to happen when he did launch missiles at Syria, and everybody who was a Trump supporter, sincerely, was immediately ready to throw him under the bus.
Alex Jones literally was crying that day, like a lot of us were, going, oh my god, He's a warmonger too.
We cannot get away from war.
Why do they keep doing this to us?
But then it turned out that he handled it expertly and kept us out of war and was able to bring about the most peaceful time of American life in my entire lifetime.
So that's what a real...
Anti-war person supports, not the flowery rhetoric of AOC as she capitulates entirely to the military-industrial complex.
So, well done.
Brilliant stuff. Good job by those protesters.
I'd like to see more of this every single time a warmongering politician shows their greasy face.
And that includes Republicans, Democrats, anybody who goes along with this nuclear gamesmanship That has only one devastating consequence possible.
With that, we go out to the phone calls.
Marcus in Ohio has comments on the so-called trial.
Marcus, thanks for calling in.
What's your opinion on the struggle session that we've all been forced to endure?
unidentified
Well, good morning, sir.
I tried to watch some of the trial.
I made about two minutes in and I got so frustrated.
I felt like helpless.
I couldn't even watch any more of it.
But after the ruling they made yesterday, didn't Hillary Clinton and the DNC basically commit treason recently?
And they were fined like $105,000.
I think Hillary Clinton herself was fined a whopping $8,000 for a fine on Trump.
It's an aberration, and we refuse to acknowledge it.
There's two printers we use.
One of them prints fine. The other one has streaks on it.
People are like, why are you highlighting your entire page?
It's like, I'm not. It's just, you know, we're not the billion-dollar company that they say we are, and we actually have to operate on a reasonable budget.
No, I do understand it, which is why I know about climate change.
Yeah, so, yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the case.
unidentified
You might have to do with the atmosphere part, but the tilt part, there still should be some part of Antarctica that eventually makes it I mean, again, the sun already traveled 93 million miles to heat the Sahara Desert, but 8,000 miles away, it won't do that.
Ladies and gentlemen, second hour has begun on this live broadcast of American Journal coming to you on Thursday, October 13th from our Central Texas headquarters.
Max, I heard you called in to Owen yesterday and had a powerful rant.
People on Twitter still talking about it.
Thanks for calling in. You're on the air.
unidentified
Hey, good morning, Harrison.
Yeah, I was really fired up last night, dude.
I was reading a little bit of Jones' Gray Reset, and it got me going because, you know, as soon as I looked at this news yesterday, I was infuriated, dude.
I was infuriated, but at the same time, I wasn't discouraged like they'd want me to be.
Because what the corrupt courts are doing to Jones is just so sick.
I'm going to do a little shopping on TheForWars.com today.
I'm going to donate to the Legal Defense Fund.
I'm going to do whatever I can to support you guys through this.
Because these globals need to understand something, and that's this.
Because We will never back down from this fight, and I can't emphasize that enough.
I'm not going to take their shots.
I'm not going to support their wars.
I'm not going to eat their GMOs.
I'm not going to stay locked down in my home.
I will not be silent. Ever.
And neither will you, and neither will Alex, neither will Owen, neither will the millions of listeners who follow InfoWars, who follow God, who hold traditional Christian values near and dear to their hearts.
Because in their attacks and persecution of us, they're only making us stronger.
When I look at the news and see that Jones is being forced to pay one bill, and that didn't discourage.
As much as it absolutely infuriated me, of course, I soon realized that this is how scared they are of Jones.
This is how scared they are of Jones, of you, of Schroyer, of Enforce, and people like us.
And I say, good, I hope they are scared of us, because that's how it's supposed to be.
Jefferson was right in saying when governments fear the people, there is liberty.
When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.
The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is as a last resort to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
And so also when you think about, logically, why would they be wanting to take guns?
Oh, well, it's not that hard to think about what they would do if we didn't have that last resort because speech is being taken away from us.
Everything around us, everything in the Constitution is being stripped right now away from us.
And that's truly our last resort, which I hope that it would never come to.
But you can guarantee if they want to fight it, they get one.
Because I hate our government.
I hate our politicians. I hate the terrorist agencies like the FBI, CIA, NSA. And I know they're probably listening right now.
You know how they listen to your shows, and I say good.
So write it down, feds listening right now.
Take a lesson. Max from Kansas hates you.
Isn't going to back down, and you're going to be in trouble when I'm sitting in the Oval Office one day here.
I love it, Max. Just like, sorry, you can't legislate us into not hating you, because we do.
We hate you, people.
You're terrible. Repent.
Repent and be saved, for the love of God.
unidentified
Yes, just repent and be saved so you won't have to go down with your agency.
Seriously. And I truly do.
I pray almost every day for these people hoping that they have a change of heart because I'm not happy that we have so many enemies in this world that really want to murder every single person on this planet.
Like, that's not something I enjoy.
That's not a happy thought in my head, like, ooh, good, so it's just good versus—no, no, like, no.
Of course I want them to change.
I want them to come to their senses and find God and repent and change because, I mean, this is just something so sick that they're doing.
But here's the thing, though.
Here's what I struggle with believing that they ever would.
Harrison, they believe that they are God.
If you look at Yuval Harari's writings, you know what I mean?
In Jones' new book, when he talks about the Declaration of Independence being...
Basically based on nothing but Christian values and Christian values don't exist and whatever.
No, you're exactly right. There's a distinct division.
There's those people that believe in God and believe that we're here to serve God and those that either don't believe in God or if they do believe in God, they believe that God is there to serve them.
So you either serve God or you think you can bend God to your will because you're that big of a narcissist.
Arrogant psychopath. So we're firmly on the side of God in this against those scumbags.
We'll be servants to him. Thanks for that call, Max.
Brilliant. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
We'll be taking your calls throughout this hour.
We'll be joined by Patrick Byrne in the third hour, CEO of Overstock.
I'm very excited to talk to him about everything going on in the world.
But for now, let's just go right back to your phone calls.
I know people called in, phone lines filled up quickly, so let's just keep rolling, shall we?
Hobbs in Nebraska. Haven't heard from you in a while.
I don't think anybody's even keeping a count right now.
In fact, now you brought it up.
Zelensky today has asked for $55 billion more.
He says Ukraine needs $38 billion to cover our budget deficit next year.
They need $17 billion to rebuild critical infrastructure, $2 billion to rebuild electric energy infrastructure, and no less than $5 billion for gas and coal purchases.
So I think if they get what they want, it would be well over $100 billion, Hobbs.
It's... What are we getting for it?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
He's getting several new houses and chateaus in Switzerland, and I'm sure the Bidens are getting a hefty, healthy boost to their bank account, but nothing in it for the American people.
That's not counting the UK and the EU and all of the other countries around the world who've kicked into this little kitty as well.
The point that I'm trying to make is, is everybody talking about how badly Russia's doing over there, are you aware that Russia's entire defense budget for a year is only $64 billion?
Right, so even if only one-third of what we've given them over there, that's still half of Russia's defense budget for an entire year.
Just from us alone.
But anyway, I'll switch topics over to the verdict in the struggle session yesterday.
So I was talking to a few friends of mine, and the idea kind of popped into my head that if the new standard now is newsman makes an incorrect observation and puts it out on the air, gets sued for damages,
if that's the new standard, Then I got about 22 years of global war on terrorism veterans that would like to have a word with the New York Times, CNN, and MSNBC. I mean, even if I only get $50,000 out of it, not several million, I'd be happy with that.
What do you have to say about that?
And have they opened up a can of worms that they don't know exactly the depths of what they've unleashed on themselves now?
I guess it's up to us whether we walk through it or not.
And yeah, I see a lot of people talking about that.
I have people messaging me about doing a...
Well, what's the term?
Like a mass...
Lawsuit, class action lawsuit against Rachel Maddow for, you know, her pushing of the vaccine.
I mean, the lies from the mainstream media are endless and actual lies.
Like they actually know what they're saying is lies.
They're not just saying opinions about what they're seeing like Alex Jones did.
But thank you for that call, Hobbs.
I do want to move on and get some more, but brilliant as ever.
Let's go to Chris in Chicago.
He wants to talk about the way, a way to fund the Infowar.
Thanks for calling in, Chris. You're on the air.
unidentified
What's up, Harrison?
Howdy. 15 years ago,
I probably wouldn't be the same person I am today.
I probably wouldn't even be alive.
So I just want to commend InfoWars and Alex and all of you guys and all the work that you do, because without you, a lot of people would have made different decisions and might not be alive or might be severely injured because of their belief in the mainstream media.
So you guys have a very important role to play in terms of saving humanity.
And the way that I think that we can get people to kind of focus in and take up their arms in the InfoWars is by the InfoWars team creating an affiliate program.
I'm not sure if you guys have ever seen that or heard of it or ever tried to implement it, but it's relatively pretty simple with certain carriers that you – not carriers, but places that you can sell things on the internet.
And it's hard to get those kinds of things set up on the internet without all the proper structure in it, but I think it would be pretty simple to kind of integrate into you guys' website, and you can get – you will be able to empower people.
People that support the Infowar.
And even if it's just, you know, maybe you don't give out monetary incentives for the people that, you know, sell the products on your behalf, but maybe you give them incentives, you know, like the first people that bought the coins.
They get special content.
They get special access to things.
I think that that would be great.
I think you would empower a lot of people that are dedicated to the Infowar, and they can go out on your behalf and sell the product and probably triple, quadruple the sales.
And the reason I'm saying that is because the indictment that came from the ruling yesterday was not really against Infowar.
It was against Infowar supporters.
They want to shut down the support.
They can shut down Alex Jones.
If they wanted to, they can just take Alex Jones out and that's it, right?
But they want to shut down all of the people that support the Infowar.
That's why the judgments are so big and so audacious.
They want to shut down all of us.
And they can't really do that easily.
So what they have to do is just make these big, audacious pronouncements and have these We're good to go.
People that they hold in bondage, if that makes sense.
Right, yeah. They want to be able to parade the head of Alex Jones in front of their baying masses and try to shame and humiliate and guilt people who support Infowars into no longer doing it.
I think you're exactly right, and I think that was Matt's point when we played the video of the lawyer getting up and saying, speaking to the Infowars audience and saying, don't support Infowars, don't go to his store, don't shop.
I think you're exactly right, Chris.
And I thank you for You know, the encouragement and knowing that InfoWars has changed lives.
I mean, you think your life is different because you discovered InfoWars 15 years ago?
I can't even imagine where I would be without discovering InfoWars 15 years ago.
Changed my life utterly and entirely.
And it's great to hear that we're having that effect on our audience as well.
unidentified
Final words, Chris? I mean, I just want to say to everybody supporting InfoWars, go to the store.
I just ordered some Super Male Vitality X3 Prostagard Super Blue Coral toothpaste.
I can't wait for it to get here.
I wish I could have done more in the past, but, you know, everyone has their own scale of being able to support.
Like, my man said, passed out all the flyers and things over the years while he was driving a bus in Atlanta.
So, you know, we can all do something.
All you have to do is just take a stand.
And remember, we are all guaranteed a death.
Right? So don't be scared of death.
Be scared to live on your knees.
Right. And ladies.
Right? Be scared of that.
That's the part you need to be scared of.
Tyranny is what you should be scared of.
And I'm a black man from the south side of Chicago.
So, you know, I'm not sitting here worried about what these people are feeding into my community because, again, the Black Lives Matter thing, you guys showed me that it was nonsense.
I mean, like, without your frame of mind, I wouldn't have been able to see it as clearly as I see it.
And the proof is in the pudding.
Black Lives Matter has done nothing for any of the black communities that it was supposedly designed to help.
Same thing with Antifa.
Antifa, when I look at the videos from you guys, I see that Antifa is state-sponsored terrorism.
They run in back of the police after they do their crimes against the people.
All right, Chris, we got to go to commercial break, but you got to call in more often.
That was a very powerful call.
Excellent, excellent thoughts.
I mean, it's amazing.
I love taking calls, man. It really does reinvigorate you for this fight and remind you that not everybody's lost, man.
There are people out there that are still good and still have what it takes.
We'll be right back. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
It's the Infowar.
It proceeds unabated.
We continue to call out the lies of the mainstream media and manipulations that are all designed with very particular goals in mind.
One particular goal, I should say, and that is the institution of a global technocratic government that is unelected, unaccountable, unquestionable, and rules...
By fiat dictates martial law and chemical lobotomization of the population to make them okay with the subservient role they've been assigned.
Not the type of place I want to live.
Not the type of people I want to rule over me.
And of course we will continue this as long as we possibly can.
And it's hard to say what the size of our audience is on this show especially.
Because you get the stream at Bandai Video has a certain amount of viewers, but then there's other streams on everywhere from Rumble to Odyssey to Cozy.TV to everywhere around.
Then we're also on Terrestrial Radio, which we have kind of no way of knowing how many people are actually listening.
But we know it's tens of thousands at least, hundreds of thousands on average watch the replay.
And if every single one of those people...
Could spare five dollars, we would be soaring.
We'd be flying. We'd be sailing through the clouds.
It really is as simple as that.
And this is the deal we're making, right?
This is the deal meme I get and you get.
What we promise to you, what we'll provide to you is, as we always have, completely free information from the reports on Band.Video by Greg Reese and Red Pilled TV and just Salty Cracker and all of these people making content on Band.Video.
That's yours for free.
The shows, nine, ten hours a day, live streaming, American Journal, War Room, The Alex Jones Show, hours and hours and hours of content, free to air, free to cut up, free to chop up and download and do whatever the hell you want.
We promise we will continue to fight this.
We will continue to hold protests and rallies and marches against the oppressive, tyrannical behavior of our So-called duly elected presidency.
We'll continue to take all of the hits and strikes against our personal reputation.
We'll continue to have to deal with the constrictions of our personal life.
We will take all of these slings and arrows.
We will continue to fight.
We will continue to put the information out.
We will continue to keep it all free.
All we ask for you is like the price of a cup of coffee, especially in Biden's America, as Matt was pointing out during the break.
And you've all seen it, and probably most of you, without a thought, will go and, you know, just get something cheap for lunch.
It's going to cost you $10, $15, $20, even at fast food places these days.
I mean, food prices are skyrocketing.
And I know I'm this way.
When it comes to something that you do just on a regular basis, just go to McDonald's, scan your card, you don't even think about it, right?
But for some reason, it's harder to spend less money On something like InfoWars.
I don't know what it is. Just a psychological thing.
The only large chunk of money we've ever gotten was an anonymous donation on Bitcoin.
We can't even know who gave it to us.
How could they possibly influence our decisions on anything, unlike all of the other alternative media, which is almost uniformly funded by billionaires who have quite a bit of say in the coverage on those platforms.
This platform is completely free to say whatever we want because the only people we are responsible to are you and whether or not you go and support us.
So, yeah, I mean, would you pay a dollar a day for this entertainment?
Would you pay, and this information, would you pay a dollar per hour?
I think it'd be well worth it.
We don't charge it.
All that we ask is that you give what you can, donate what you can, purchase what you can, share the links where and when you can, share this information when and where you can, and we'll do the rest.
We will shoulder whatever burden is piled on our back, and we'll do it happily knowing that we have the support of you.
So please do go to saveinfowars.com, a $5 donation.
Might not seem like a lot to one person, but if everybody does it, that is a huge flood that we absolutely need right now.
As we continue to fight and continue to operate, regardless of what those in powers prefer, they don't get to decide what you get to listen to.
Not yet, anyway. We want to keep it that way.
So go to SaveInFullWars.com, support us, and we promise we will continue to provide the entertainment and information that you have come to rely on.
And we'll continue to do it in a way...
That is both unabashed and unbiased in terms of race or religion or anything of the sort.
And it's a total like running joke.
Here at Infowars, we all experience it.
Everybody who works here. I was talking to Owen about it yesterday.
This strange dichotomy of both being called like Mossad agent Jewish shills and also virulent anti-Semites who are Hitler reborn.
It's like, well, both those things can't be true.
And what's true is that we treat every human being like an individual who's responsible for their own actions and the actions of some people in a population are not Indicative of or responsible for the actions of everybody else in that population, which is why we get callers like Chris from Chicago, where a lot of more alternative right-wing people, they'll have opposition to things like Black Lives Matter based off of race.
And just being honest, there's a lot of There are a lot of racists out there.
We're not amongst them.
And that pisses a lot of the left wing off.
But it also is what Infowars has always been about.
It's about all of humanity coming together and fighting for your particular right to live your particular life in a way that doesn't Or upset anybody else.
You have a right to do that. And so that's the beautiful thing about InfoWars and we'll continue to do that.
And we wouldn't be as successful as we are now if we fell for the imposed dichotomy of race and religion and all this stuff Alex identified long ago.
that all of that was a smokescreen to hide or to prevent all of us coming together and fighting back against people actually attacking all of us by attacking each other.
And we don't fall for that.
We don't get into that.
We love everyone, and we're up front about that, and people who listen are well aware of that.
And we appreciate you not falling for the lies and disinformation of the mainstream media and actually investigating for yourself the claims they make.
Determine for yourself whether they are legitimate or not.
And when you watch InfoWars, I think the one thing that comes across more clear than ever, than anything really that we cover, is that me, Owen, Alex, we believe what we say.
We say what we believe.
We don't hold back on our beliefs and we don't have to because we really do believe in the human spirit, believe in America and the Constitution and our history and believe that everybody, black, white, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, atheist, we all have a right to have a say in this country.
And it's all of us that are under attack from these globalist elites.
So if that's not enough reason to support InfoWars, I don't know.
We'll go out to your phone calls here momentarily.
I do want to remind people of where the idea of canceling people and attacking people's bank accounts and their ability to speak out on big tech comes from.
It's kind of a full circle type thing.
So Kanye West has been kicked out of JPMorgan Chase.
Decided they were not happy with some of the thoughts in his head, so they've kicked him out of his bank.
Now, Jeffrey Epstein never lost access to his bank account.
You can be a convicted criminal, serial killer.
The banks aren't going to object to that and refuse to fund you.
You can be a pornographer or a drug dealer.
Look at the HSBC website.
Money laundering scandal that they were involved in.
They don't have any problem dealing with criminals or scumbags or just horrifically evil people.
But if you dare, if you dare to say the wrong thing on the internet, well, that's a bridge too far and they're going to stand up against you.
The banks are going to stand up against an individual.
So powerful. Resist.
Hashtag resist, you guys.
But of course, one of the objectionable things that Kanye West said was, who do you think invented cancel culture?
For some reason, that question was seen as anti-Semitic.
What? I don't get it. I don't understand.
But the answer to who invented cancel culture is, ironically, the banks.
The banks did. And if we look back at one of the first instances of real cancellation...
It was Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch being axed from Patreon.
This happened back in 2018.
And of course since then, you know, getting kicked off Patreon or getting banned by PayPal is sort of regular business.
But at the time, this was pretty unprecedented.
He said at the time, I've been asked from Patreon without explanation, warning, or notice.
No doubt is part of an ongoing efforts of the left to deny all platforms to those who reject its agenda.
To those who supported me, thank you, but I'm sorry we couldn't follow through on plans.
And he posted the statement from Patreon.
Now, Patreon actually responded to him, saying, Hi, Robert.
We emailed you earlier today, which explained that, unfortunately, MasterCard required us to remove your account.
You replied to us, but if you have further questions, we're happy to keep emailing.
So it's a reminder that big tech, and especially the payment processors, weren't necessarily doing this on their own volition, but were rather blackmailed into it, essentially, by the banks and the credit card companies.
So ironically, Kanye West is kicked out of his bank account for, amongst other things, asking who invented cancel culture, and the answer to that is the banks themselves, the ones that are now Kicking him out of their network.
A little interesting full circle kind of event taking place as the full-on World Economic Forum version of the social credit score is quietly but ruthlessly applied outside of law, outside of good practice, outside of economic policy.
Feasibility. They aren't making decisions to make money for the best for their share workers in the line with capitalism.
No, they're working ideologically outside of the bounds of good sense or law to impose their own version of a social credit score with their own ideology, their own religious impetus imposed on everybody.
And if you speak out against them, they have a myriad of ways of punishing you for that.
Yeah, no, we, you know, we get off work here, and we go, we hop on our helicopter, and we helicopter over to the golf course, and, you know, our caddies follow us around, and I don't even know, what do rich people even do?
And again, you know, the amazing thing is Alex Jones makes less personally in a single year than like any CNN talking head.
What do those people do? They wake up in the morning.
They do their makeup.
They sit behind a chair and they read a teleprompter.
They read words other people have read.
And then they do that for about 45 minutes and they go home.
And they get paid tens of millions of dollars.
Alex Jones is in this office working like a...
I don't know, like a fevered ox.
Just continually hauling things back and forth.
Like, it's just... I don't know.
I wish everybody...
I wish you could do, like, field trips to InfoWars.
I wish everybody could just spend 24 hours at InfoWars to see the behind-the-scenes, and nobody would ever make these claims ever again, right?
Nobody would ever make these claims that there's some sophisticated psychological operation that we're carrying out here, that everything we say is designed to fulfill some certain thing.
It's like... If people could just spend time behind the scenes...
But I don't think you need to. I think if you watch the show and you have an open mind and you watch it enough, you get exactly how this entire office operates.
And if you just pay attention to what Alex says on his show and then what's happening on the website...
I wish I... Alex deserves to be a billionaire.
He's not, but he certainly deserves to be one.
That's not the way things have worked out because he has, instead of taking all of the money and running off in the sunset, poured it back into this operation and allowed us to expand and progress this mission forward.
So we thank you for supporting us in this.
Lynn in Chicago. I want to talk about Alex.
You say you think he's getting into the Bible now based on his remarks last night.
Well, you know, in troubled times, there's really only one place to turn.
Thanks for calling in, Len. You're on the air.
unidentified
Yes, sir. I thank Alex Jones for president because he has the Holy Spirit.
And I don't think the Antichrist can get in something that the Holy Spirit is.
How you feel about Alex Jones really says a lot more about you than it does about him.
And whether you understand the value of what Alex Jones has done for this country, has given to this country, And the positive impacts that his message has brought to this country, or whether you, by the mainstream media, smears about him.
It really goes, again, not towards explaining Alex Jones, but explains you.
It explains whether you have the capability to think for yourself or not.
You don't have to agree with him.
It's not about whether you agree with him or not.
It's about whether you have the ability to see for yourself what he's done and come to your own conclusions about his actions, his behavior, his words, or whether You believe lies.
It really is as simple as that.
So this is the litmus test.
And every time Alex Jones is in the news, especially for something big like this, we don't have to wonder anymore.
We don't have to go, well, that guy's pretty good, but is he really 100%?
I mean, this is the litmus test.
You either pass or fail. There's no gray area here.
Steven Crowder. It's having Alex Jones on.
Steve Bannon had Alex Jones on yesterday, talking to him, supporting him, sounding off about the egregious violations of free speech that are all predicated on Alex Jones and calling him an evil guy.
On the other hand, you have people like Seb Gorka.
You know him, right?
Sorry, you might not recognize that.
He's the gay whale.
Sorry, you know the gay whale that we talk about sometimes?
That's the guy I'm talking about.
He posts on Twitter, consequences for lying about murdered children.
What's his accent like? Consequences for lying about murdered children.
He posts a picture of the story, Alex Jones, or the New York Times story.
Very trustworthy organization, the New York Times, as we know.
They've never lied anybody into a war, ever.
Unfortunately... This has been completely ratioed and there are now hundreds of more comments to this than likes on it.
Meaning that it is deeply unpopular.
And Warzone with Alex Jones says, Everyone hates Gorka in the comments of his Alex Jones tweet.
Laughing my butt off.
You suck, Gorka. Ever since you called Moonbase Command a snake oil salesman, I've always told everyone that you're a two-faced POS. DJ Publius says, What do you think the consequences should be for those who lied our nation into wars that resulted in millions of murdered children?
Slow Cheetah says you're actual scum.
The Winning Media says show your true colors more.
Thanks. Polly Friend says bootlicking fake conservatives like you are the reason globalist cabal controlling our economy have so much power.
You're scum. Jared Bell says you've been walking on razor's edge, but that'll do it for me.
Bye. Jesse James says your true colors are coming out.
I'll never retweet you again.
Andrew Meyer says more proof that British men are untrustworthy.
The dude sucks. The dude sucks, and a lot of people in conservative politics suck.
Call them out. Let them know.
And their position on Alex Jones is pretty indicative of whether they get it or not.
Whether they have a full understanding of the true situation that we're in or whether they still live in the delusional, illusionary world of we just have to be nice and lose gracefully and somehow we'll get back on track.
Doesn't exist. Not going to happen.
He wanted us kicked out of CPAC for no reason.
I actually was just going up to talk to the guy.
It's the craziest thing. I'm not like one of these guys that goes around like, I'm going to get into fights with people with a microphone.
I just don't do that. You've never seen me do it because I don't do it.
Sebastian Gorka, I was like, oh, there's Sebastian Gorka.
I'll go up and talk to him just to be treated so rudely.
Some people are scared, okay? There's a lot of scared people out there.
They need to be...
Take heart.
People, we know what the establishment is trying to do against us.
We know how to defeat them.
Tell the truth. Keep being upfront about what we believe and purge our movement of bad actors like this.
With that, we go back into the phone calls.
Barry in Charlotte says this was an outrageous trial.
I agree, Barry. A tame word, actually.
There's some other words I could use, too.
Thanks for calling in, Barry.
You're on the air. Hey, what's going on, Mr.
unidentified
Smith? Hey, just wanted to speak.
Just a second ago, you mentioned that the banks shut down Kanye.
And I was looking into that.
I've been in that industry for a hot minute, for a second.
But, you know, it's really disappointing that it's so hard to charter banks because it's a whole inside process to make sure only the people they trust can actually start banks.
And what that does is it prevents, you know, people from, you know, starting their own kind of platforms to do free speech.
Yep. It's like that classic meme that's like, you got kicked off Twitter, go make your own Twitter.
And then you do. And then they kick you and then they like stop letting you use credit cards.
It's like, well, did you go create your own bank?
It's like, well, we can't because the government will go create your own country.
It's like, Yeah, no, they have control.
It's sick, and you're exactly right, which is why it's like a pyramid structure.
The people that have been in this practice, in the banking practice for centuries, like, they're at the top of the pyramid, and they dictate to all those under them how to act.
Right. Yeah. No, it's a good point, Barry.
unidentified
Gaddafi, you know, a few years ago, what was it, like 10 years ago now, you know, the famous meme, like, start your own bank, and then...
Yeah, start your own bank. Start your own central bank.
See how that goes for you. Ask Qaddafi, Saddam, and Iran how that's working out.
Yeah, good stuff. Well, what's your comment on the trial, Barry?
unidentified
Well, I just wanted to say, man, you're exactly right about how there's so many people in conservative media that are afraid to push the boundaries because They don't want the same thing that happened to Alex Jones happened to them.
They're afraid for their reputation more so than their integrity.
We put the reputation above integrity in this culture now and it's just sad to see.
And ironically, by not defending Alex Jones, they're only guaranteeing that they will one day come under the same things that he's coming under right now.
Defend him now or defend yourself later.
I guess that's the choice they have to make.
And they've made. They're going to...
Take that up when it comes to them.
But thank you so much for the call, Barry from Charlotte.
Let's go to Sal in Tucson, Arizona.
Let's talk about illegal aliens and Space Force.
Thanks, Colin. Sal, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hi, Harrison. Yes, I want to talk to you about the illegal aliens coming across the border.
A lot of people don't realize that they're beholden to the cartels that brought them here.
So they get to the border, and then you're like, surprise, here's another bill.
What they do, the way they work that off, is they work for them and they mostly provide intel for future crimes that the cartels will bring upon this country.
It's an invasion. It is certainly a full-on invasion.
I completely agree with you and...
Of course they're beholden to the cartel.
I mean, whether they're beholden to the cartel or whether they just enrich the cartel paying them to get there, the cartel is just essentially printing money.
I mean, they are just raking it in with the cooperation and facilitation of the Biden administration.
Absolutely. Exactly.
unidentified
Government-funded human trafficking is what we call it.
And of course, one of the big stories that I haven't gotten to today, but the Treasury Department is actually investigating Ron DeSantis over his one flight of migrants to Martha's Vineyard while the Biden administration has been flying thousands of flights to cities all over the country.
But again, this is the way this is This is a tyranny worse than anarchy, right?
Or worse than even just open tyranny.
Selective enforcement of laws, having the same laws for everybody, but only certain people actually have to adhere to them while others are allowed to ignore them scot-free.
I mean, this is the real underlying movement happening all over this country and is allowing everything that we see to take place.
If laws were just Adhered to and justice was dispensed as it should be, blindly, equally, then we wouldn't be in this situation.
But it's the selective enforcement of laws that has gotten us in this much trouble.
Folks, when we get back on the other side with the third hour of American Journal, we will be joined by Patrick Byrne.
Very excited to talk to him about all sorts of topics.
We'll see where we go with that. In the meantime, folks, go to SaveInfoWars.com.
It's not just a URL. It's a plea from us here at InfoWars.
Save us, won't you? We'll keep fighting as long as you have our back.
We'll be back. Georgia Maloney, a patriot, an anti-globalist, anti-New World Order, anti-Klaus Schwab patriot, being called a Nazi, a fascist, and all these lies, winning in a landslide in Italy, and they are crapping their britches, the first Italian female president ever.
And she's awesome. She's totally for real.
They are scared as hell of her.
unidentified
The 45-year-old Firebrand insists she's no fascist, just a proud conservative and nationalist, comfortable, nevertheless, with some of the hallmarks of Italian fascism, like this motto, God, fatherland,
Approaching Armageddon00:04:31

and family. Exactly 100 years ago this fall, fascist dictator Benito Mussolini staged his historic march on Rome, eventually marching the country into two decades of dictatorship and alongside Hitler into World War II. And it's not just Bolsonaro.
It's not just her. More and more and more and more are coming.
We have successfully triggered the chain reaction!

Unambiguous, of course, is our condemnation of Nazism and communism, the latter being the sole totalitarian ideology of the 20th century that still is in power in some countries, surviving its tragic failures, and that the left has a hard time condemning, perhaps partly because it has received generous founding from the Soviet Union for decades.
What about this laziness then to, instead of welcoming the first female Prime Minister of Italy, so much commentary around the world portraying Georgia Maloney as some sort of hard right figure?
It's a shame, but it is typically the left media who, rather than say, let's congratulate this woman who's achieved something incredible politically and for women who want to go into politics, the first thing they scream is fascism.
They're gonna say terrorists cut the power off in Italy.

Before the war was started, 55% of Germany's energy supplies came from Russia.
As of June 2022, the supplies had been reduced to a meager 26%.
In Italy, the authorities are treading carefully.
Their energy savings plan includes steps like extending the life of coal plants, temporarily halting work at factories, and shortening heating hours at workplaces.
It will not happen. They are going to launch massive wars.

The president said that we have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis.
And he went on to say, I don't think that there is any such thing as the ability to easily use a tactical nuclear weapon and not end up with Armageddon.
They are going to pull out all of the stops, but every passing minute, every passing hour, every passing day, the people now know about the new world And it's horrible plans for all of us.
And when the general population wakes up, and that's the next domino, we're already approaching 30, 40%.
Woo! I'm getting chills.
We're already approaching the next domino to fall, and here's the great point of danger.
The New World Order knows they are on the cusp of the beat, and so brace yourselves, because the New World Order isn't coming.
It's here. All over Europe, they're pulling down EU flags.
All over Latin America, they're saying down to Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates.
The people are unifying against the unelected head that you see on screen of the European Union that threatened the Italians with massive sanctions if they voted for this woman when she's an unelected pig.

She was asked a question regarding, quote, political figures close to Putin contesting in the upcoming legislative elections in Italy.
We'll see. If things go in a difficult direction, I've spoken about Hungary and Poland.
We have tools. If anyone in Brussels thinks of cutting the funds that belong to Italy because the league wins the elections, then we have to rethink this Europe.
I am your host, Harrison Smith, joined today by the one and only Patrick Byrne.
Patrick Byrne is the founder and former CEO of Overstock.com and is a libertarian who believes election 2020 was rigged and that the results should be objectionable to every person who believes just government derives its power from the consent of the governed.
Since the 2020 election, he's focused his resources on the America Project, an organization that unites coalitions across the country to help protect freedom and American values.
Their website can be found at americaproject.com You can also visit deepcapture.com to find out what Patrick's up to.
Well, you know, ultimately, I'm wearing the hat, I don't know if you can read it, make Orwell fiction again, just to reflect what you just said.
There's all kinds of things that we've taken as basic to our tradition for not just 200 years, 50 years, but really 500, 600, 800 years are coming under attack.
All kinds of rights that are fundamental premises for navigating the world, including the right of conscience, which means nothing if you don't have the right of free speech and freedom of conscience, freedom of religion.
All of these have been under attack for a couple of years.
They're trying to normalize things In time for the election, but we can't let the public forget how kooky these folks got and the world that they put us through.
Freedom of speech, some people say the Second Amendment is the right that really guarantees all the others, but the others don't really have any substance until you have the First Amendment, the freedom of conscience and speech.
I think all that's under attack.
I think all that's under attack.
I'm looking around for my handy guy.
I keep this handy. All that's been under attack.
It's been under attack, of course, in lawsuits.
Actually, ultimately, the most fundamental has to be the right to vote, the right to a free and fair election.
Our tradition embodies the idea of consent of the governed.
Where they understood, they designed the Constitution, there's this beautiful passage about how we designed this, it was Madison writing, we designed this, we looked at all the ancient models of democracy, and we looked at what made them fail, and we designed this to prevent those failures, but unfortunately the thing that we can't Didn't figure out how to stop is corruption.
And unfortunately, that's the thing that brings down republics more than anything else.
It's corruption. Corruption is taking over.
As you guys at Infowars, what you guys sounded like conspiracy theories 10 years ago has become obvious truth today.
There's a corrupt unit party taking over the country.
We were the COVID. And at this point, I don't have to tell your audience how ridiculously politicized the response was to COVID. I've had COVID. It's no joke.
And then the Antifa stuff was all the disorientation, and then the rigged election was the crisis.
So we're living through a psyop to take over the country, and the cancel culture is all really the fourth stage, the normalization, try to normalize the out-of-existence, anyone who believes otherwise.
I like that. Yeah, I think I know which option I'm going to choose.
So the hat you're wearing for our radio listeners again said, you know, make Orwell fiction again.
And I got to say, when I first read 1984, I thought it was a little far-fetched.
I thought it was a little outrageous.
I thought, you know, I know people can be silly, but there's no way people are going to go this far.
And here we are, and it's like...
I'm just, I'm blown away by how far we've fallen in this country and how truly Orwellian it's gotten.
I mean, you remember 1984, they had the thing called face crime, where, you know, if you didn't make the right facial expression in reaction to news, they would be suspicious of you.
I mean, that's the realm we're entering into.
I see headlines all the time.
It's like, he scowled at this.
What does that mean? I mean, we're entering into the face crime, double speak, ministry of truth level of insanity here.
They haven't learned anything. I don't know why kids are studying.
I'm the guy who spent so much of my life studying philosophy, and I say it's a mistake to be in the humanities if it's the kind of humanities, the critical garbage that's taken over most universities.
I saw Chomsky speak once about the postmodernist thought, and he said it's up on YouTube where he said it's – I don't know why – Students are going to university for four years to learn this intersectional postmodern stuff.
You can learn it in five minutes.
It's the pure ideology, has no predictive power, doesn't really explain anything.
Why go into $200,000 in debt to learn something you can learn in five minutes?
But that's where they have the cultural Marxists took a...
They took a long march for the institutions, and they captured the institutions, and they've turned them against us, from district attorneys to the bar.
Look how anybody in the face of this obvious steal, any lawyer who got involved at all, started getting letters from their bar, or facing bar actions and bar grievances.
The governor, I'm sorry, the attorney general of Texas has to worry about getting disbarred because he filed that case with the Supreme Court about elections.
At the same time they did that, they go after the physician's licenses who are pushing back and using hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin.
We have the beachhead now, and now it's time to actually begin the full-on invasion.
Because you're right, when you lay it down like that, I mean, it's directly in line with the Yuri Bezmenov, long march through the institution, demoralization, deconstruction kind of idea.
It's taken decades to get here.
But man, when you lay it out like that, doctors questioning pharmaceutical companies and their licenses are threatened and they're investigated.
Lawyers who are professionals worked, you know, all their lives defended criminals and rapists and mass murderers.
No problem there.
You start talking about voter fraud, suddenly your institutions are turned against you.
And it's... When you really understand the scope of it, it can seem totally hopeless.
And you go, how are we going to dismantle?
If every institution is like this, it's an overwhelming issue that we're facing.
Now, I want to know what your solution is to this and how you think we start to fight back against it.
So I'll put that question to Patrick Verne on the other side.
AmericaProject.com is a great place to start, I think.
We'll talk about how that's contributing to this effort to regain our freedoms.
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
I know this might be news to the mainstream media out there, but it wasn't Alex Jones that woke Americans up.
It was the actions of mainstream media themselves and of the government themselves.
And Bill Gates has even said it.
That COVID has been a massive process of awakening for people around the globe as we have seen how truly corrupt and dishonest our entire establishment has become, from the media to the politicians, even the local politicians.
It's really...
Troubling how thoroughly our institutions have been corrupted.
My guest this hour is Patrick Byrne, founder and former CEO of Overstock.com.
He has a project called the America Project, an organization, I should say, that unites coalitions across the country to help protect freedom and American values.
Their website is americaproject.com.
You can also find their work or his work at deepcapture.com.
And that was the question I wanted to put to you, Patrick, is how do we reverse this long march?
How do we rid our institutions of these ideological zombies that are destroying us?
I have it on quite good authority, and it's not General Flynn, but I have it on authority of someone who's given me permission to leak it, that what that was about was discussions of making him Speaker of the House if the Republicans win the House.
My understanding of the situation is it's not his idea, it's other people's idea and that he's reluctant, which is disappointing because he sees it as a step down, to which I have two answers.
One, sometimes we all have to do things for the good of the country that we don't want to be doing.
A strong speaker of the House, like Donald Trump, could bend everything back into shape.
So it could be a wonderful thing to have happen, and I hope he seriously will consider it, and that people will let him know if the Republicans win, that the masses will let him know that Don't worry about the step-down thing, even if that's not the main event.
It's not supposed to be this imperial presidency like a king.
Donald Trump went to Washington, D.C. a couple weeks ago, and there was speculation of people saying, oh, he's about to be arrested.
It was other people saying he was there for depositions.
Now, Patrick Byrne is telling us on good authority that he was actually there negotiating, I guess, with members of Congress, I would assume, or their representatives, to become the Speaker of the House if Republicans take the Congress in the midterms.
That's huge. I'm just, like, processing this right now.
Yeah, no, I want to get into this more on the other side because I'm just hearing about this now.
I'm wondering, I mean, this wouldn't stop him from running for president, so it's not like he would be abandoning presidential aspiration, you know, to get back to the presidency by becoming House Speaker.
It's just something to do over the next two years.
I think, I don't know why he'd be against that.
We'll be right back with Patrick Byrne.
Don't go anywhere, folks. Welcome back.
You're watching American Journal, Infowars.com, and Band.video.
My guest is Patrick Byrne, founder and former CEO of Overstock.com, AmericaProject.com, and DeepCapture.com.
So we can go to follow all of the great things he's doing to try to regain the freedoms that we are rapidly losing in this country.
And you've sort of dropped a bombshell on me here, Patrick, with this speculation as to the actual ability of Donald Trump to become Speaker of the House.
I'd seen articles here or there Floating this idea.
And I always just sort of thought, nah, it's just sort of something to wish for, but I don't see how it could actually happen.
But I guess this actually could happen.
There is a legitimate legal way that Donald Trump, without having to run for Congress, without having to do anything like that, would be able to be Speaker of the House.
He would take Nancy Pelosi's position.
He would have the purse strings of the Congress in his hand.
He'd be sitting behind Trump. President Biden during the State of the Union, that alone is worth it to me.
That visual of him being able to scowl and shake his head and mock President...
I mean...
Yeah, he can rip up the speech at the end, just like Nancy Pelosi, although I don't think he would be that petty like she is.
Absolutely. The other thing, Nancy Pelosi has built herself her own little Stasi.
Last I heard, I had a budget they were putting in for two and a half, three billion dollars.
In comparison, the FBI was about like 30 billion.
So she's building herself.
The U.S. Capitol Police I don't know how far the plans were for it to get funded and them to build offices all over the country because the Capitol was, you know, it was really a little personal Stasi for Nancy Pelosi.
Some generals or some people who've worked at the upper levels of law enforcement who are actually patriotic and remember their oath to the Constitution who might could do something good if they inherited that from Nancy.
Maybe they would do a real investigation.
How long, Harrison, if you had real police doing a real investigation of what happened on January 4th, 5th, and 6th, How long do you think it would take them to get an answer?
Would it take a few hours? They could place one phone call to me and I could explain it to them in about five minutes.
I think it'd be a pretty rapid investigation once you actually are searching for the truth rather than trying to frame Donald Trump for an insurrection.
I would think there would be some sort of protection.
Of course, the biggest or most frustrating to me roadblock that Trump had during his presidency were the rhinos in Congress that wouldn't put his agenda forward and wouldn't fight for him and wouldn't help him out.
I mean, him as Speaker of the House would give him a lot of leeway In terms of putting good people, America first, patriots, Republicans in positions of power, committee chairs, and that sort of thing, I mean, that would go a long way in reading us of a lot of the baggage that the Republican Party has in terms of old-school, blue-blood Republicans that are neocons and warmongers and globalists and holding our party back, wouldn't it?
And we got, you know, look, if we just win one chamber of Congress in 2020, Six days or whatever it is now, I will feel that we will have at least arrested the landslide, and we will have a handhold from which to begin the climb back up.
But if they win the House and Trump would take the Speaker of the House position, I'll go take a vacation.
Again, I'm just processing this live, like, you know, just sort of thinking out loud or, you know, just talking about this and thinking about this as you're revealing it to me because, like the Hill say, I thought it was far-fetched.
I thought, why even consider this?
But now that I'm actually thinking about it, I don't know if I've ever wanted anything more in my entire life.
I mean... It would be a step down if he was choosing to go from presidency to House Speaker and then staying there.
But it seems like the decision he has now is just be a private citizen, silenced on Twitter, unable to defend himself for the next two years, or spend those two years as Speaker of the House.
Either way, he's got to wait another two years to be president.
Why not occupy? It puts him back inside the castle.
Well, and I'll tell you this, as executive, he was in charge of a bunch of, you know, commissions and organizations that were aligned completely entirely against him.
I mean, sure, he was the executive, he was the head executive, so ostensibly he was in charge of the FBI.
But did they act like that at the time?
Not at all.
They were against him 100% of the time.
As a congressman, half of the Congress would be against him, or as Speaker of the House, half of the Congress would be against him.
But at least half, if not more than half of the Congress would be people who would be willing to go and fight for him.
So instead of being a lone warrior at the top of this, you know, group of people that are against him, he would at least have a huge number of allies there to work with and work through and collaborate with.
I'm getting more and more excited about this the more I think about it, Patrick.
I'm sorry, my brain's going a thousand miles a minute.
With this idea of Donald Trump becoming Speaker of the House.
It's a possibility that I didn't even realize was a possibility.
And now that I understand how real it is, all it takes is winning...
A sufficient amount of seats in Congress and the Senate, the Congress in particular, and this can happen.
It could be very real. It could be set in motion within 24 days or however many days we have until the election, and as Patrick Byrne was pointing out, within 80, it could be the real deal.
Of course, my number one argument would be, why not?
Why not? You're going to spend two years...
You know, until the presidential election, I think this could only help his presidential aspirations get back into office in 2024.
I think two years as Speaker of the House would go a long way in selling his presidency in 2024.
But then you said during the break there, Patrick, how about a one-word way to convince him?
Can you expand on that? Yeah, we're going to be, you know, I think that if we had not done what we've done, frankly, we, the American people, in derailing things in the last year and a half, I think it'd be over already.
I don't think it's absurd or, you know, going too far to say Donald Trump as Speaker of the House could very well save the world from a nuclear apocalypse.
And I know that sounds crazy, but look at where we are now with NATO. I mean, the big problem with the current administration, or the current government, I should say, is that you have all three countries Branches of government really operating in lockstep.
And the executive is really dictating to the Congress.
And Congress is just rubber stamping whatever they want.
And then you have, you know, negotiators from Congress, apparently.
But congressmen are saying, I never approved this.
And yet they're getting the stamp from Congress to give billions more to Ukraine and continue to push us more towards nuclear conflict that Biden himself has called, you know, an apocalyptic scenario that we're facing.
So, I mean, I don't think it's an overstatement.
To say that Donald Trump could very well save the world from nuclear war if he was able to be Speaker of the House and use the actual powers of Congress to debate what's happening in Ukraine rather than just handing it over to these warmongers.
I mean, the way he could clean out the Congress from rhinos and committee chairs, there's no limit to the amount of good that Trump could do as Secretary of State.
He'd probably legally have to be allowed back on social media.
I don't see the downside in this.
I think this is a win-win any way that you look at it, Donald Trump as Speaker of the House.
What are they going to do? Silence the Speaker of the House?
You know, this book, this Constitution gives the power to declare war to the House.
And that's because, you know, really the House, the Senate was associated with the states and the aristocrats, and the House is the people.
You don't want the aristocrats to have the power to declare war and send the kids of the farmers into battle.
So they put the position of declaring war with the House, the chamber close to the people.
Very good reasons behind that.
He could go in—you know, we have over the last seven decades completely, or six decades, completely bent that out of shape with War Powers Act and such.
So presidents, don't go back to the House to declare war.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a Speaker of the House who was muscular enough, metaphorically speaking, muscular enough, To fill that position in.
From that position, he could bring about at least a real discussion about what's going on in Ukraine.
You know, if he's going to be president in 2024, imagine how much more successful that presidency will be if he'd spent the preceding two years reforming the Congress to be one that would, you know, be able to actually carry out his agenda come 2024.
I mean, right now he gets in in 2024.
If the Congress is the same one it was, you know, acts the same as it did in 2016, he'll find the same problems he had in 2016.
spend two years reforming the Congress and getting it back on track and actually doing what it's supposed to do.
Then once you're in the presidency, you have that well-oiled machine geared up and ready to go.
So how do we get to that?
How do we, I mean, what do we do here?
I know you have americaproject.com.
How do we get to just the point where this is no longer speculation, but a very real thing with our people in Congress appointing President Trump as, foreign President Trump as the Speaker of the House?
Everyone listening has one role, one or another in this assignment.
We started something called onemoremission.com.
It's to get vets and former police and fire and ambulance drivers and nurses into to be patriot workers, to be poll workers, poll volunteers, citizen election observers.
That's fantastic. So onemoremission.com is the website, and it's spelled out, O-N-E, moremission.com.
And so anybody that's retired or been fired for not getting the vaccine or been pushed out because, you know, some new administration came in and decided you were a problem and had to kick out, if you...
Are any of the things that Patrick's just mentioned, a veteran, a firefighter, you can continue to uphold your oath to support the Constitution, and you can do it by going to onemoremission.com.
I just had the honor of my life in that the Frederick Douglass...
Well, a few months ago, I was speaking up at a Reawaken America conference in Rochester and Antifa came out and the Letitia James protested and such, called bad names.
And it let us make the point, this is absolutely...
I reject any white identitarianism.
That has nothing to do with our movement.
The people who are involved in this movement, I love that we have, frankly, I love, yeah, there are evangelicals who understand what the future has in store for them if they don't act.
I love there's gay guys, gay activists.
There's a guy, well, I won't say any names, but there's somebody we've had at our conference.
This is for anyone in America who understands this is the issue.
And it just so happens that the greatest 19th century defender of that position, there's such moving passages in his work.
So I'm going to start taking some time to talk about Frederick Douglass more.
Of course, that's the big lie that the leftists sell, that America is somehow uniquely racist and has a uniquely bad past that we still have to reckon with to this day.
The reality is that we have nothing but pride in our past and what we've been able to build for everybody, to build the most open, welcoming, accepting Successful, prosperous society the world has ever seen.
Why would we ever apologize or back down from the principles that brought this beautiful thing about?
And I think Frederick Douglass understood that perhaps better than anybody else with the experiences through his life.
Who could better speak to the promise and the beauty of the American Foundation and the Constitution than somebody who had experienced both sides of, or experienced the worst parts of tyranny and the best blessings of liberty?
I bet on you. And InfoWars has had devastating effect against the globalists.
We have come so far.
And there have been many times when we're very close to being shut down, when it seems like the enemy's got us.
But because of God working through you and working through me, We have been given what really is divine intervention.
But I gotta tell you, as the world awakens and populist anti-globalist leaders get elected all over the world, and the New World Order responds by starting wars and dissolving borders and devaluing currencies, the fight has now really intensified and InfoWars It's facing the greatest challenge in our history.
InfoWars is an institution.
InfoWars is an icon of resistance against the globalists for free people everywhere.
That's why the enemies of humanity hate InfoWars so much.
So I want to thank and commend the viewers and listeners of InfoWars over the years.
And I just want to encourage you to realize how much time and energy you've invested in the fight and how it paid off.
