unidentified		Taking a record of the hearts and minds of the American people, it's the American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
		Welcome to the American Journal.
		I am your host, Harrison Smith.
		Very glad to be here with you today.
		We'll be taking your phone calls throughout the show.
		We'll be joined by a special guest in the third hour to discuss sexual education in elementary schools.
		Won't that be fun and enlightening?
		It actually will be fun and enlightening.
		So stay tuned for that.
		We'll be talking about, well, all sorts of topics today from Ukraine to Israel to COVID-19 and the lab leak theory.
		Just all sorts of we told you so's coming from us today.
		But a ton of new information as well.
		We're not going to waste any time today.
		We're going to jump right into it.
		So here it is, your daily dispatch.
unidentified		All right, here it is, folks.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Your daily dispatch for Tuesday, February 28th, 2023.
		Yeah, two days ago or yesterday, the Biden administration admitted that the lab leak theory...
		That was probably right. Yeah, I was probably right the entire time.
		How do you think the mainstream media was going to deal with this if you said the same way they deal with everything?
		You were right. Here's the headline from The Hill.
		Republicans jump on lab leak report.
		Call for action against China.
		Yes, first they were saying that the Republicans were making up the lab leak theory.
		It was a conspiracy theory.
		It was nonsense. It was political.
		We'll show you the video. Just one of many videos of Donald Trump saying exactly this and being crucified for it on the mainstream media and by the people who cover the White House.
		It was a crazy conspiracy theory.
		Those Republicans were just saying that to get political gain.
		Then it turned out to be true.
		And so now they're claiming that Republicans are jumping on it and trying to use it as a political tool.
		Or we were just right.
		The entire time. Or we're just trying to actually get to the truth and you people have to make everything political.
		It's one of those. Republicans are seizing on a new energy department conclusion pointing to a lab leak is causing the COVID-19 outbreak to call for swift action against the Chinese government which has refused to cooperate with global probes into the pandemic's origin.
		They actually have that right.
		That I actually agree with.
		The Republicans are in fact using the lab leak...
		Hypothesis, the lab leak theory, the truth about the origin of the coronavirus to try to bang the war drums for global war with China, which is not accurate because it was us.
		It was the CIA and a military operation to create COVID. We funded it.
		We created the research and we released it.
		Let's not start a world war.
		Can we not do that? Thanks. But, oh, wait, sorry, it's too late.
		U.S. Treasury head pledges to fortify Ukrainian economy.
		Janet Yellen, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, did a surprise visit to Ukraine to meet with Vladimir Zelensky and other top officials, vowing indefinite support for Kiev, despite a lagging U.S. economy and trillions in government debt.
		I think that just about sums it up.
		What is she doing there? Giving our money away.
		Pretty simple answer. Meanwhile, toxic derailment waste heading to facilities in Ohio and Indiana.
		EPA's Reagan returns to East Palestine.
		Hazardous waste from the train derailment site in East Palestine will be trucked to four sites in Ohio and Indiana, hauling resumed after the EPA ordered Norfolk Southern over the weekend to pause shipments headed to Michigan and Texas to allow time for more oversight measures.
		A lot of people a little annoyed at this.
		Having their farmland that had avoided being poisoned by the crash itself now coming under threat of having all of the waste disposed on their property.
		Again, we'll get more into that later and talk about the response and the event of the train derailment there in Ohio.
		All of its various implications.
		Meanwhile, the U.S. Marshals Service has suffered a major security breach that compromises sensitive information, senior law enforcement officials say.
		The incident did not involve the database involving Witness Security Program, commonly known as the Witness Protection Program, a source told NBC. But the U.S. Marshal Service did suffer a security breach over the weekend that compromised sensitive information, multiple senior law enforcements said Monday.
		In a Monday statement, U.S. Marshal Service spokesperson Drew Wade acknowledged the breach.
		Yeah, it's not good, but it's okay.
		It's not like we're on the cusp of...
		You know, World War III and that security's important or anything.
		Finally, we have this.
		South Africa faces civil war conditions due to possibility of power grid collapse.
		They're already load shedding.
		The collapse is on, and we'll get more into this a little bit later.
		That's our Daily Dispatch, brought to you by Ultimate Fish Oil.
		Available now. Infowarsstore.com.
unidentified		It's Tuesday, February 28th, year of our Lord, 2023.
		And you're listening 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.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Train derailments, biological weapons created in labs in China and leaked on purpose.
		More money being given to Ukraine.
		As we find ourselves now facing off against not just Russia, but Russia and China.
		Sort of a stick in the spokes of the globalist plan to have a war of attrition with Russia when they bring in China, who could probably outlast us in any such conflict.
		We'll get into all of that and more today, of course, the toxic derailment.
		More information about that.
		As well as we're going to look back in some history of the Ukraine war and remind ourselves where all of this began.
		Hopefully we can see where it's all going from here.
		You know, I've been seeing a lot of posts around.
		Well, we'll get to that when we get to it because we're going to cover COVID a little bit later.
		I think we'll start today. Just a little fun piece of media.
		You know, we don't want to start off on the wrong foot on a bunch of bad news.
		We can at least spin the first segment having a good time.
		Let's go to clip number five here.
		It's an activist, a TikToker, a content maker who's doing his part to counteract and fight fraud here in the United States.
unidentified		Let's watch. Across the street...
		I'd like to report a fraud.
		What happened? His name's Joe Biden.
		Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a crime that he's in the White House right now.
		Are y'all trying to help? Just put a word in to the bigger guys to take care of this crime.
		We'll see what I can do. Because these gas prices, inflation, man, the military stuff, it's killing me.
		If I die, Joe murdered me with all the stress in my life.
		What are you guys, are you making a documentary?
		Well, we can't talk about politics when we're on duty.
		Nah, nah, we got to start.
		Maybe that's how we got in this mess in the first place.
		Joe Biden in the White House.
patty in boston ▲ ● ▼		Like, we're dying out here.
unidentified		Gas prices, inflation.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Gas prices are pretty wild.
matt infowars ▲ ● ▼		Above our pay grade, man. Yeah.
patty in boston ▲ ● ▼		Thank you, though. You're welcome, of course, man.
matt infowars ▲ ● ▼		I'm going to cry myself to sleep.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Knowing we got this dementia man in the White House.
		Hey, whatever authorities you have to beg to do something about the situation that we're in, I think that's just great.
		I think it's fantastic. Now, we're going to...
		I'm just wondering where to begin because we have so many places to go.
		Again, it's like it's so early in the morning.
		Do I really want to talk about World War?
		Do I really want to talk about these sorts of things?
		Well, it's my job. I guess I have to.
		I would like to keep it light for as long as possible, but maybe that's it.
		We got about two minutes into the show.
		Now it's time for the horror to wash over us.
		But I think we'll start with clip number six here.
		I tweeted this out. Myself and our archivist dug into the InfoWars archives once again in an exercise of, I told you so, an exercise of we were right the entire time.
		Talked a little bit about it yesterday, about the fact that even people that are pretty much on the ball, pretty much understand what's At stake here and have been suspicious of everything from the start.
		I mentioned Stu Peters is one of them.
		I saw him on Twitter.
		I love Stu Peters. I think he's very good at what he does.
		Not 100% on board, but I don't need to smack talk anybody on our side.
		I think he's good. But, you know, even he was like, hey, we've known about lab leaks since April 2020.
		It's like, wow. I mean, we knew about it in January.
		We knew about it in January, and luckily, we published our findings.
		So this video, clip number six, was a report that I did standing out in front of the White House in January of 2020.
		This was before most news outlets had even reported on the existence of coronavirus.
		We gave you a full breakdown of everything that was happening with coronavirus, everything you needed to know about it, including facts like that it killed mostly elderly people and was, you know, much more dangerous to those in the older age bracket than anybody younger.
		Another thing that they pretend like they just found out about a month ago.
		Somehow, before CNN or The New York Times had even mentioned the word COVID-19 or coronavirus, we knew all of this beforehand.
		We really are tomorrow's news today, next year's news today.
		And so it's not enough just to say that.
		We're going to show it to you. So here it is, a video from January, I believe, 24th, 2020, just months before the COVID-19 pandemic would truly begin.
		InfoWars knew all about it and told you about it.
		Let's watch. Coronavirus is what they call a zoonotic virus.
		That means it comes from animals and goes to humans.
		And the suspected outbreak was caused by the participation in the so-called wet market.
		It's a seafood market. But in Wuhan, one of their things they do is they like to eat basically any type of animal.
		And you can see menus where Foxes, hedgehogs, bunnies, mules.
		I mean, anything and everything.
		Videos circulating, eating baby mice while they're still alive.
		Bats in soups.
		Just incredibly disturbing stuff.
		But this is how they say the virus spreads.
		Now, there is some hesitancy when I say that because there's also a very coincidental fact that the only You know, a high-level bio lab in China is located less than 10 miles away from this wet market.
		In fact, it was founded after the SARS outbreak in 2003, and it's the only one that is capable of handling, they say, this outbreak, and it's there in Wuhan, very close to this wet market.
		And this is where some of the conspiracy theories come in.
		Now, the outbreak of coronavirus is rather suspect, as I mentioned before, because of the lab located so near to that wet market.
		In fact, you have a headline here from Nature magazine.
		Inside the Chinese lab poised to study the world's most dangerous pathogens.
		That is from February 2017.
		And so the suspicion is that perhaps they were somehow mutating these viruses, somehow working on these viruses, perhaps even creating these viruses.
		And in an attempt to either create a genetic weapon of some sort and it just got out, or perhaps they were just looking for a way to create vaccines, and because of not following certain precautions, it allowed it to leak.
		So that was us reporting on the lab leak theory, the accurate reading of the situation, all the way back in January of 2020.
		Now, I've been seeing people on Twitter express this sort of sentiment.
		Cat Turd said this.
		We were right about the lab leak.
		We were right about natural immunity.
		We were right about masks.
		We were right about lockdowns.
		We were right about the vaccines.
		Right about boosters. About them faking COVID numbers.
		About the deadly hospital protocols.
		About ivermectin. About evil Dr.
		Fauci. About evil WHO. About it being a world power grab.
		Guess who was wrong about everything?
		The government sheep trust the science cult.
		Liberty Lockdown. Another friend of the show said something similar.
	To recap, he says, masks don't work.
	Lockdown didn't work.
	The vax wasn't safe or effective.
	COVID-19 came from the lab.
	Gain of function was exactly how it was made.
	Fauci is a fraud. By the way, Biden blew up the Nord Stream.
	Are you ready to question the defending democracy narrative of Ukraine yet?
	Or no, we're still going on that one.
	Again, it's good to see people, you know, sort of celebrating, being right, reminding everybody that we knew this the entire time.
	But I have a slightly different reading on all of this.
	My recap goes a little something like this.
	Masks are for slaves and criminals.
	COVID was released on purpose.
	Vax is poison and it reprograms your DNA. Lockdowns are just a preview of the climate lockdowns yet to come.
	Remote learning makes you trans.
	All right, that's kind of a stretch, but I think you get where I'm going with that.
	Death count was inflated, using nursing homes, by the way.
	Not inflated in the sense that the numbers were necessarily wrong, but in the sense that they murdered tens of thousands of elderly people in order to get the numbers up to a place that was appropriately frightening to the American people.
	Social distancing was a psyop and collapse is just part of a much wider globalist scheme.
	See, it's good to know that we're right about this and that so much of what we've been saying for the last three years is finally coming to the fore and being admitted by the mainstream media.
	But it's not enough just to recognize that things like lockdown didn't work.
	You have to recognize that it was never meant to work.
	It was never supposed to work.
	Masks were never about stopping the virus.
	Social distancing never had a scientific basis.
	These people weren't wrong about something.
	They weren't well-intentioned but just messed up a little bit.
	This was malice. You know, they always say, don't attribute to malice what can be explained with incompetence.
	These people aren't incompetent. They did this all on purpose.
	All of this was on purpose.
	All of this was by design.
	Everything that we're seeing unfold before us is part of a wider collapse program so that they can rebuild with the Great Reset and build their global technocracy world government and keep us all enslaved like ants.
unidentified		That's what it's all about. Don't take your eye off the ball.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Don't stop looking into the future for what all this is about.
		All right, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
		We're going to stick with the COVID lab leak theory, the theory, a little bit longer.
		You know, we've been saying for years, years and years, three years at this point, that all of this is an IQ test.
		All of this is a test of whether you are capable of Coming to your own conclusion or whether you are willing to be led around like a dog.
		That's sort of the test that we've all been subject to.
		Some of us have passed. If you're watching this, you probably passed.
		Congratulations. You get an A on the human chart.
		But most people failed.
		Most people just utterly, horrifically failed.
		And especially with the lab leak.
		I so remember very, very early on in the...
		Before most people had really heard about it, when it was first being discussed in mainstream media, I remember overhearing a conversation between my wife and her friends where I told my wife about the fact that it had come from a lab because it's not that hard to figure out actually.
		Because it was an IQ test.
		It was like, well, the disease came from here.
		We know it came from here. Within this very small radius is bioweapons level 4 bioweapons lab with a history of safety violations and accidental leaks of viruses and a farmer's market.
		Where do you think the disease came from?
		It's like, it's obvious. It was probably from that thing.
		But we didn't have any evidence for this.
		It was just a logical conclusion with the evidence presented.
		And I remember hearing my wife say this, like, well, it may have come from a lab, and then hearing her friend respond, no, that's a conspiracy theory.
		That didn't happen. And it's just like, how could you possibly know?
		How could you possibly know that it didn't come from a lab?
		I mean, you don't know it came from a lab, but you don't know that it didn't come from a lab.
		So how are people so willing to brush off A perfectly reasonable conclusion because the media had just informed them without any basis that it was conspiracy theory, that it had been debunked.
		I think the word debunked was actually used.
		There's two ways to debunk something.
		One is to say it's debunked, and that's the mainstream media's tactic, right?
		When they just say it's been debunked, and that's a debunked thing, debunked, debunked, debunked.
		It just means they don't want you talking about it.
		It just means it's true, but they don't want to admit it, so they call it debunked.
		The other way that you debunk things is by Offering the reality is by telling the truth about the thing.
		So, you know, we had a video on American Journalist segment recently that was debunked.
		Trump's didn't cause the train accident in Ohio, right?
		the talking point from the left is that it was because Trump hated regulations, which is why five years later, a train fell off the tracks and the EPA and the Biden administration ignored it for two weeks.
		That was Trump's fault.
		And that was the talking point.
		We debunked that by showing that not only the talking point that they were saying had no relation to the reality of the situation, the train crash had nothing to do with the regulations that Trump changed or limited or removed, just nothing of the sort.
		And then we gave what the real cause was, which was the failure of the hotbox and, you know, another whole bunch of other stuff.
		But that's the way you actually debunk something.
		You actually debunk something by telling the truth of what it is.
		If you want to fact check something, you don't have to fact check anything.
		You can just say what the reality is.
		When they fact check or when they debunk, it's just a claim they're making to tell you to shut up.
		And that's all it is. So, you know, it's not the people...
		Maybe IQ test isn't the right phrase, because it's not necessarily an IQ test.
		Like, my wife's friends.
		Very, very, very smart people.
		But they get tricked. So I don't know if it's IQ. I don't know if it's trust.
		I don't know... What it is that causes people to subject their own thought process to the will of people who despise them in the mainstream media and continually lie to them.
		But they do, but this is what happens.
		And so the lab leak was an IQ test.
		It was a test of free thinking, whether when presented with the evidence, you could come to the obvious logical conclusion or whether you submerged that conclusion in the will of the people who just wanted you to not talk about that because they had a political conclusion.
		And a political motive for that not being the case.
		And again, you know, we talked about it.
		I've talked about it before.
		I call it subjective deflection.
		This is what they're engaged in here.
		Republicans jump on lab leak reports.
		So again, we've gone from Republicans try to claim the lab, you know, a lab leak hypothesis is the correct one, to, okay, the lab leak theory was real, and now Republicans are using it.
		They're jumping on it.
		They're using it to get political points.
		All of this is only being said because the Democrats or the mainstream media, the I don't want to call them Democrats.
		They're just the party, right?
	It'd be in 1984. It's just the party, the group that runs the world.
	They don't want it to be the case, so they have to project the politicization of it onto the Republicans.
	We have a couple videos to illustrate this.
	Let's go first to clip number 12.
	Trump at the time was crucified for saying that the Wuhan lab was the source of the virus.
john roberts ▲ ● ▼		Let's go now to clip number 12. And my question is, have you seen anything at this point that gives you a high degree of confidence that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was the origin of this virus?
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		Yes, I have. Yes, I have.
		And I think that the World Health Organization should be ashamed of themselves, because they're like the public relations agency for China.
		And this country pays them almost $500 million a year.
		And China pays them $38 million a year.
		And whether it's a lot or more, it doesn't matter.
		They shouldn't be making excuses when people make horrible mistakes, especially mistakes that are causing hundreds of thousands of people around the world to die.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		So again, that was very early on in the pandemic.
		Trump says he did see information that had come from Wuhan lab, and everybody was very mad at that because they had political implications that they wanted to tack on.
		Not because what Trump was saying was false, but that's the way that they framed it.
		Let's go to clip number seven here.
		This is MSNBC's Nicole Wallace talking about Trump's COVID lab leak theory all the way back in 2020.
nicolle wallace ▲ ● ▼		Let's watch. Additionally, driven by science, not presidential politics.
		And the scientists aren't the only ones rankled today by Trump's effort at reputational repair.
		The New York Times also advances recent reporting on U.S. intelligence agencies, which we learned this week provided intel in the president's PDB as early as January about the lethal spread of COVID. Those same agencies now have been tapped With investigating one of Trump world's most favorite conspiracy theories,
		New York Times reports this, quote, senior Trump administration officials have pushed American spy agencies to hunt for evidence to support an unsubstantiated theory that a government lab in Wuhan, China was the origin of the coronavirus outbreak.
		That's according to current and former American officials.
		The effort comes as President Trump escalates a campaign to blame China for the pandemic.
		Some intel analysts are concerned that the pressure from the administration officials will distort assessments about the virus and that they could be used as a political weapon.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Let's pause right there. Again, again.
		They say that they're worried it'll be used as a political weapon and that these claims will distort the scientific inquiry into the science.
		No, no. So it's just pure projection.
		I mean, you don't have a really new experience. It's just pure projection.
		They are distorting the accurate inquiry into the science by outright rejecting a perfectly reasonable and feasible suggestion based on politics because they didn't want Trump to be right, because they didn't want this to be able to be used as a tool against China.
		Now, China definitely did mess up the response.
		They withheld information.
		They were not transparent with what they were doing.
		But it was American money that funded it.
		It was American scientists that created it.
		It was an American program that created COVID. So now that the Republicans are using this to try to, you know, foster war with China, keep in mind it was our own deep state that released this poison on the world and then took charge of the recovery, by which, of course, they meant declare martial law, lock you in your homes, put a mask on your child, and all that great stuff.
		Oh, the vaccine, too. It kills you.
		Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
		We're going to move on to some other topics here, but Matt, you were bringing up some good points.
		I mean, all of this is extremely complicated, right?
		So, you can say things like, it wasn't China, it was the CIA that released this.
		As we know from whistleblower Dr.
		Andrew Huff, that Peter Daszak was contacted by the CIA and In relation to the creation of viruses, we know that the lab in China was funded by EcoHealth Alliance and the NIAID or USAID. Whatever the funding mechanism is, I mean, it was largely an American invention.
		But you were pointing out, Matt, that it's not just...
		It's not just China that benefited from the COVID virus wiping out the Donald Trump presidency, but really everybody involved in this had a political motive to cover things the way that they were covering them, to hide Truth, that was inconvenient.
		I mean, it wasn't all profit motive, but it was all motivated by their own selfish desires.
matt infowars ▲ ● ▼		Well, let's think about the major players here, right?
		And I'm kind of taking the next step in the actual conspiracy theory-ism, right?
		I'm kind of going out on a limb here, but to say that China purposefully released this virus, let's look at the time, right?
		You had China, which was in a trade war with Donald Trump.
		Donald Trump was really popular.
		He had an economy that was rolling.
		I mean, it was hot whether whether you look at the numbers and you assess that or you look at people's attitudes.
		I mean, it was it was in a going in a positive direction for America.
		Donald Trump was also at war with the intelligence agencies.
		Right.
		And you look at all of these players involved in the perception of this pandemic and lockdowns and lockdowns.
		What I see is that China released this virus.
		I see that there was an incentive for big companies like Amazon and other big corporations to say, oh yeah, this lockdown, we got to lock it down because that killed all their competition.
		It gave them great business.
		When you look at the intelligence agencies, they wanted to say, oh yes, this was a pandemic and oh no, it couldn't have been China because everybody wanted to take Donald Trump down.
		The media was quick to promote the fact that it was life and death.
		CNN had chyrons all over the place.
		These death numbers, everything.
		When you look at the mainstream media, they are captive to the Democratic Party.
		They are... You know, allegiant to them.
		And, you know, they just wanted to take Trump down.
		The Democratic Party wanted to take Trump.
		How do you take down the number one thing, which is the economy, which is what he was running on?
		Well, you have a lockdown, right?
		So it's easy to see that these major players may not have coordinated together, but there was an incentive.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, they all had their own reason for following the same line.
matt infowars ▲ ● ▼		To stab him in the back.
matt infowars ▲ ● ▼		It's almost like Julius Caesar.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		It's almost like that.
		And, of course, one of the major things about it was the mail-in voting.
		I mean, they had mail-in voting laws rearing to go, like ready to go.
		And that was the major way that the fraud happened.
		And, in fact, we're going to talk a little bit later on planning to talk a little bit later about the Dominion suit against Foxx.
		And people are pointing to the Dominion suit and saying, see, Fox admitted they knew that the voting wasn't, or the, you know, Dominion machines weren't the cause of the fraud, but they promoted that anyway.
		My argument would be that the fraud that occurred was not Didn't have to do with code in the machines.
		It had to do with very basic ballot harvesting, mail-in ballot fraud on a huge scale.
		I mean, we have the undercover video with the Detroit leaks of them literally training the...
		Poll workers on how to cheat and how to avoid oversight by using the COVID rules.
matt infowars ▲ ● ▼		There were those water leaks that never actually happened that caused an evacuation.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		All of that stuff is legit.
		All of that stuff is confirmed.
		It's hard to get to the bottom of these things when you're distracted with stories about code being sent to Italy and Germany.
		Everybody knew it was fraud.
		Everybody knew the... Election was not legitimate.
		Instead of focusing on the real things we have evidence for, they were sent on wild goose chases about voting machines that didn't actually cause it.
		I think COVID played right into those hands, destroyed Trump's economy, and I think you're exactly right.
		The pharmaceutical companies, China, I mean, everybody had a stake in trying to destroy the Trump presidency, trying to set up the conditions for which The presidency could be stolen from Donald Trump and his supporters could be declared anti-science domestic terrorists and a threat to human safety and be justifiably targeted for that.
		Of course, we predicted all of this early on if only people had listened.
		If only more people had listened.
		We know that a lot of people saved themselves from the more damaging personal effects of this conspiracy by We're good to go.
		And what lies ahead for this country, likely if we don't make a major change, as well as Ukraine, Israel, the train derailments.
		Still have a lot to cover in today's program, but let's finish off with COVID with a couple more headlines here.
		From thedailyskeptic.org, stroke consultations shoot up by 25% since vaccine rollout.
		These numbers come from, I believe, the...
		UK, if I'm not mistaken, since they have more of a unified...
		Yeah, this is the NHS hospital consultation activity to see whether that would offer some insight into the incidents of stroke in the UK over the last few years.
		And you can actually see a noticeable rise in consultations for stroke, ordinary admissions, 25% higher than it was before.
		I personally know somebody who has started having strokes since they were vaccinated.
		I understand how hard it is for people to consciously recognize that the vaccine may have caused the stroke.
		I know in the case of my friend, it's just like, you know, it just happened, you know?
		He's just having strokes now.
		35 years old, he's just having strokes and There's no reason to it.
		There's no reason behind it.
		It's just happening. It's like, well, maybe it's the vaccine, man.
		But, you know, it's hard to come to that conclusion.
		Did I skip it or have I not gotten to it yet?
		Okay, yeah, this one from the BBC. This is a pretty amazing turn of events.
		Again, you know, it's everything about the COVID leak, the lab leak theory, when Trump was first promoting it, they said, no, he's not promoting it because it's real.
		He's promoting it because he benefits from it politically.
		And then it came out to be true.
		And this is the way you need to interpret it.
		If it's not true, you interpret it one way.
		If it is true, or even has a possibility of being true, you have to interpret it an entirely different way.
		You interpret the people speaking about it as not being politicized, but rather speaking the truth, regardless of the political consequences.
		And the people who were shutting it down and saying it was ridiculous and saying it was unfounded and refusing to even talk about it, they had a political motive for doing that.
		Now, if they can keep you in the illusion that it was never a lab leak, then it's the inverse.
		Then you believe the opposite.
		But here they're doing it again, and again, they are taking their political stance, and they are warping reality.
		They are warping the science. They are intruding on the pursuit of truth to warp it to their design.
		BBC reports, COVID inquiry.
		There's an inquiry into COVID. Race should be at its core, say campaigners.
		So yeah, they're launching an inquiry into COVID about the lockdowns.
		Who benefited? Who brought this about?
		Was it really done out of a pursuit of health and public safety?
		Or were there personal benefits being gleaned from all of the things that they were doing?
		We're not going to get answers to any of those questions.
		They're going to talk about race.
		They're going to take the COVID inquiry and they're going to center it.
		And at its core, it's going to be about race.
		Racial differences in the UK. Okay, so we're not going to get any answers.
		They're going to warp it. They're going to take their politics and completely destroy any legitimate pursuit of truth in favor of their furthering their ridiculous divisional campaign.
		Race should be the central part of the UK's independent public inquiry into the pandemic, campaigners say.
		And of course, this is then promoted and reported by the BBC as if this is a good thing.
		We're talking about the unequal impacts of the pandemic.
		So we'll never get an answer.
unidentified		We'll never get an answer. All right, welcome back, folks.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		This is the American Journal.
		Infowars.com has the story.
		15 times Infowars told you COVID-19 was man-made and leaked from the Wuhan lab.
		I've noticed some clips are missing, so I just sent some people the...
		Some more clips, including the one that we played earlier out in front of the White House where we talked about it being man-made.
		But you can see the 15 times, at least, that we talked about coronavirus being man-made from all the way back in January of 2020, February of 2020, again, before most outlets even discussed coronavirus or COVID. It was Nancy Pelosi still out there going, go hug a Chinese person.
		While we were telling everybody not only is COVID real and dangerous and there should be things happening to prevent it from coming to these shores, we were also telling you that it started in a lab and was created on purpose in a gain-of-function program.
		We don't like saying we told you so.
		We would really like it if people just listened to us the first time.
		It would really be nice if we could just avoid the three years of COVID. Purposeful collapse and destruction of the family and the community and the economy and just, you know, if we could avoid all of that, it would be really nice not to have to say we told you so.
		It'd be really nice just to have people in positions of power or in the public sphere that just have the confidence and courage to stand up for what's right and tell the truth in the beginning, not three years after it actually matters.
		But this is InfoWars.
		We are tomorrow's news today.
		It's the blessing and the curse.
		We are always right about what we predict and what we say is coming down the pipe.
		And it's just what's actually going to happen, what's actually occurring, what the truth is, is...
		It's just hard to believe. It's just people can't handle it.
		It's a heavy burden to bear, I guess.
		It's a lot easier to live your life believing that the people in the government want what's best for you and that viruses just pop up out of soups every once in a while.
		It's just easier to believe the Childish nonsense here peddled from the mainstream media.
		But we're adults here and we have to deal with the reality of the situation.
		And the reality of the situation is that we are currently being confronted on all sides by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy of globalist superpowers that are attempting, through every deceitful measure they can bring to bear, to enslave humanity with the ultimate goal of its destruction.
		Almost total destruction.
		I mean, they still want to exist.
		They still want to rule over the empire of dirt they're creating, but they don't want all of you around.
		They want depopulation, but their life is too valuable.
		And that's the real thing you need to know about all of this.
		And I hope, I really hope that you're supporting us in this mission and that you are helping us to spread this word by spreading the links, Spreading the videos, downloading them, re-uploading them, band.video, Infowars.com, sharing the articles, just sharing all of this.
		And, of course, the best thing you can do to support us in this mission, this almost futuristic mission, like here we are in the future desperately trying to yell back into the past to fix things before they go too far.
		You can help us in this mission.
		We're all in.
		We're fully dedicated.
		We have dedicated our lives, our reputation, everything to the attempt to tell the truth.
		All we ask is that you support us in this mission by going to InfoWarsStore.com.
		We make it so easy for you to do so because the products really are amazing.
		They really are great.
		Everybody knows the value of fish oils.
		It's probably, if I had to guess, probably the most popular supplement on the face of the earth.
		Most people I know take fish oil on a daily basis.
		The problem is they're taking fish oil that's lower quality, that doesn't really pack in the punch that high quality, really good fish oil does, which is why they should all be going and you should all be going to infowarsstore.com to get Ultimate Fish Oil.
		It's 50% off right now.
		And it's... Again, it's life-changing stuff.
		Fish oils have been, for a long time, one of the most recognizable supplements on the market for a very good reason.
		Studies have suggested that fish oils and fish oil supplements can lower blood pressure, decrease growth rate of plaque, and prevent cognitive decline.
		With each capsule containing 1,000 mg of EPA and DHA, Ultimate fish oil is like eating half a pound of cooked tuna or a pound of catfish.
		Built on creating a formula with incredible amounts of super concentrated EPA DHA, Ultimate Fish Oil contains wild anchovy purified fish oil, ultra-pure Antarctic krill oil, high-quality wild-caught salmon oil, vitamin D, and vitamin E.
		It supports optimal health heart, optimal joint health, I'm sorry, optimal heart health.
		Did I mispronounce that?
		Cognitive health, immune function, vascular health, circulatory health.
		All of these are supported by Ultimate Fish Oil, and it's right now 50% off on Infowarsstore.com.
		Please go there today for your sake and for ours and for the world's and for humanity and freedom and everything we hold dear in this country and around the world.
		And we still have a lot to talk about in today's program.
		We're going to take your phone calls as well, of course.
		I think in the next segment, what we'll do is we'll play Donald Trump's latest statement.
		He has been coming out with these policy proposal videos, each one of which has been an absolute grand slam, slam dunk, knock it out of the park, genius policy proposal, whether it's basically doing what Bukele did in El Salvador and going to war against the cartels on our southern border,
		or The man's even suggested, Donald Trump suggested, that you be able to sue the public officials who lower bail or allow repeat criminals out on the street if you are then victimized by that criminal.
		Makes perfect sense.
		Some dude commits a crime.
		Instead of being locked up, the authorities let him out on the street and then he victimizes you.
		Well... We'll go to that in the next segment.
		Let's talk about Ukraine a little bit first.
		And we're also going to take your phone calls next hour as well.
		But we're going to talk about Ukraine and the war there for a little while.
		We're going to go now to clip number four.
	I saw some question as to whether this was a legitimate segment or not.
	I wasn't able to do research into it this morning, like really dig in and try to find the original source.
	So this is just a repost. And some people are insinuating that this wasn't a real report.
	I think it's real. It looks very real.
	The translations, as far as I can tell, are legitimate.
	It sounds, looks, and has all of the appearance of a real segment.
	And I'm pretty sure it is.
	I just wanted to give that caveat.
	Just in case this was somehow mislabeled or something.
	I don't think it is, though. I think this is a real video.
	It's CNN from 2014 where they did a report on Donetsk and the residents of that province of Ukraine coming under attack by the president of Ukraine, Poroshenko, begging him to stop the bombing that is destroying their lives and killing their families.
	So let's go now to this clip from 2014 as we remind ourselves what this Ukraine war was.
	Like, where it really started and what it's really all about.
unidentified		Let's watch. Petro Poroshenko will have a hard time winning back hearts and minds in this city.
		As the people of Donetsk sweep up the debris of their homes and livelihoods, they are hardened against the president they say is killing his own people.
		We are Ukrainian, but they kill us, this man says, so we probably need our own country, because these people in Kyiv, they are not brothers for us.
		The shells hit these homes days ago.
		But the tears are still fresh.
		We live underground.
		It was so hard for two weeks, especially for 27th, 28th, 29th.
		But only today it's quiet.
		Sorry, sorry, I need to go.
		Two people were killed outside this block of flats last Wednesday.
		One of them was a 50-year-old woman, the other a 34-year-old woman.
		Her husband, who won't talk to us, he says he's in shock, managed to make it down to the cellar with their little child, but she just didn't have the time.
		And this is a story that repeats itself over and over in dozens of apartment blocks, with civilians being killed by the constant shelling around Donetsk.
		The city's trauma hospital is filled with a civilian wounded, shrapnel embedded in the flesh and bone of market sellers' legs, the broken limbs of pensioners far too old to run.
		There was one war, and this is the second war, this old lady tells me.
		I was born in 1940 in World War II, and I will probably die before this war is over.
		Valentina Popova in the next door ward lost her leg and her arm to indiscriminate artillery shells.
		Switching to the Ukrainian language, she makes a heart-rending plea to the president.
		We used to dance, sing, do everything in Ukrainian, she says.
		Poroshenko, Mr.
		Poroshenko, please listen to us.
		Why don't you understand your people?
		Be a man, be human.
		Please stop your aggression.
		Stop this war. But there is little sign of that.
		This once thriving city is now half empty.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		And of course now the country is half empty, as there are only about 22 million residents of Ukraine left after a pre-war population of around 35 million.
		Yeah. That's what started it.
		We'll get into that again on the other side.
		We're going to go to a video from Donald Trump, and then we'll talk about the war that Victoria Newland made.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		Joe Biden claims to support American manufacturing, but in reality, he's pushing the same pro-China globalist agenda that ripped the industrial heart out of our country.
		It ripped us apart.
		Biden and the globalists support raising taxes on American production and They support more crippling regulations killing American jobs.
		They support skyrocketing domestic energy costs.
		And they support massive anti-American multinational agreements that send our wealth and factories overseas.
		Very simply, the Biden agenda taxes America to build up China.
		China is the big beneficiary.
		We cannot let that happen.
		And just a couple of years ago, it wasn't happening.
		China paid to the United States hundreds of billions of dollars, and no other president got 10 cents, legitimately 10 cents, from China.
		My agenda will tax China to build up America.
		The heart of my vision is a sweeping pro-American overhaul of our tax and trade policy to move from the Biden system that punishes domestic producers and rewards outsourcers To a system that rewards domestic production and taxes foreign companies and those who export American jobs, they will be rewarded and rewarded greatly.
		And our country will benefit.
		To achieve this goal, we will phase in a system of universal baseline tariffs on most foreign products.
		On top of this, higher tariffs will increase incrementally depending on how much individual foreign countries devalue their currency.
		They devalue their currency to take advantage of the United States.
		And they subsidize their industries or otherwise engage in trade cheating.
		And abuse, and they do it now like never before, and we had it largely stopped, and it was going to be stopped completely within less than a year.
		As tariffs on foreign producers go up, taxes on American producers will go down and go down very substantially, and that means a lot of jobs coming in.
		Not only will this system end our gaping trade deficits, and they are massive right now, and bring back millions of American jobs, it will also bring trillions and trillions of dollars pouring into the United States Treasury from foreign countries and allow us to invest that money in American workers.
		American families and American communities.
		This plan will be the linchpin of a new strategic national manufacturing initiative that builds on my historic success in ending NAFTA Which was a tremendous thing, a tremendous achievement.
		Nobody thought it could be done.
		And we did USMCA, US, Mexico, Canada, and it was an incredible thing.
		But we're also going to end other unfair trade deals, and we'll end them quickly.
		In addition, as a matter of both economic and national security, I will implement a bold series of reforms to completely eliminate dependence on China.
		In all critical areas, we will revoke China's most favored nation trade status and adopt a four-year plan to phase out all Chinese imports of essential goods, everything from electronics to steel to pharmaceuticals.
		This will include strong protections to ensure China cannot circumvent restrictions by passing goods through conduit countries, countries that don't make a product, But all of a sudden, they're selling a lot of product.
		It comes right through China, right out of China, and right into our country.
		We will also adopt new rules to stop U.S. companies from pouring investments into China and to stop China from buying up America, allowing all of those investments that clearly serve American interests.
		We're not going to allow bad things to happen to our country anymore.
		And we will eliminate federal contracts for any company That outsources to China.
		Biden will never get the job done.
		He is weak on China because the corrupt Biden family has received millions and millions of dollars from entities tied to the Chinese Communist Party.
		Everybody knows that.
		They try and hide it and the fake news doesn't want to talk about it.
		Biden's pro-China economic program puts America last and it's killing our country.
		My cutting-edge trade agenda will revitalize our economy by once again putting America first.
		And by the way, we'll get along very well with China.
		And you know what the reason is?
		They'll respect us again like they did just two years ago.
unidentified		We will quickly become a manufacturing powerhouse like the world has never seen.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Wouldn't that be nice if none of this had ever happened?
		Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
		Second hour has begun on today's live broadcast of the American Journal.
		Glad you're here with us.
		However you have found this broadcast, if you can hear my voice, you are the resistance.
		What a resistance it is.
		You know, I'm sick of hearing, sick of hearing even jokes about, like, well, you know, when we're When we're all living in huts, those liberals will, you know, sure regret it or whatever.
		Like, just the insinuation that we're somehow on an unchangeable path towards ultimate destruction.
		It's that type of thinking that leads us down that path.
		I really cannot help but think that we are on our way towards a slow and hard-won victory.
		I really can't see any other outcome for this.
		Maybe it's my, you know, crippling optimism.
		But everything is falling apart.
		Everything that they have created, the entire edifice that they have painstakingly built over the last several decades, is not just showing cracks.
		It's really starting to crumble.
		And whether it's people like Bukele in El Salvador showing the path forward, showing there's a different way, rejecting the globalist yoke and giving people hope in a hopeless situation.
		Like, do you realize how bad El Salvador was?
		Do you have any idea? I think they have a lower murder rate than we do at this point in one year.
		One year. Just goes to what I keep saying.
		All of this is solvable.
		All of these problems are imminently solvable.
		The people in power won't do it because they don't want to because they have a different plan for us and it has nothing to do with the correction or the remediation of the issues that we deal with.
		It has to do with the taking advantage of the issues that we deal with.
		So whether it's the war in Ukraine, whether it's violent crime or People are waking up to the reality of the situation at such a quick rate, fast rate.
		And it's really our job, I guess, here at Infowars to put this into action and help people understand what we can do to stop what's coming.
		Because it really is possible.
		It really is imminently possible.
		And you're seeing more and more people stand up against, for example, the war in Ukraine.
		There was another protest...
		Yesterday, this time in Brussels, we saw the ones in France and the ones in Germany and the ones in the UK. Massive showings.
		Tens of thousands of people out in the middle of town standing up against the war in Ukraine.
		Another march was held in Brussels.
		Yesterday, we can go to clip number one here and just play it as B-roll.
		But again, you can see the massive number of peace protesters demanding end the war in Ukraine, end the U.S.-NATO war in Ukraine.
		They don't want it anymore.
		Women against war. And again, this is bringing together people from all sides.
		And there's more stuff bringing together people from all sides.
		We'll go to it in just a little bit.
		But I'm starting to see opportunities to extend the olive branch to even our most intractable nemesis, nemeses, opponents on the other side, including like the DSA, the socialist, right?
		When you have libertarians and socialists coming together, when you have the people that just want what's best, even if they have different views of how we get there, we care about peace.
		We care about prosperity.
		We care about things that are human and natural and good and opposed against us are the uniparty of the Democrats and Republicans inevitably and consistently and without pause taking us towards warfare, division, hatred.
		good.
		So, like, opportunities for coalitions are opening up across the board.
		And, of course, the powers that be have programs that they're enacting to try to prevent this change, but I really am hopeful about the future.
		And one of the things that makes me a little bit hopeful is you can see that the warmongers pushing the conflict in Ukraine are standing on increasingly shaky ground.
		But again, that just makes them double down.
		And that will be their ruin.
		Here's the story from Gateway Pundit.
		Janet Yellen makes surprise visit to Kiev to announce another $1.25 billion in aid to Ukraine.
		Why is the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury...
		Going to Kiev. Why is that happening?
		Because Kiev is, at this point, a de facto proxy state of the U.S. And this, you know, wholly domestic position of U.S. Treasury Secretary has been co-opted and taken over by globalist agents who are using it to perpetuate their policy with no concern whatsoever as to the Benefit it would have for the American people.
		From Infowars.com, U.S. plans to carry out false flag op in Ukraine using toxic agents, Russian military says.
		The United States plans to organize a provocation in Ukraine with the use of toxic agents while blaming Russia.
		Commander of Russia's nuclear, biological, and chemical protection troops, Lieutenant General Igor Kirilov, said in a briefing on Tuesday.
		This has been a prominent feature of this war, each side accusing the other of being about to do some sort of false flag attack.
		Of course, we showed you videos on this show of Ukrainians using chemical weapons on the battlefield.
		They're actually doing that.
		All of the red lines that typically would apply to Russia, they've already been crossed by Ukraine, and America doesn't care.
		Ukraine already bombed Poland, right?
		Ukraine already... Maybe they didn't participate, but they were the beneficiaries of our bombing of the Nord Stream Pipeline.
		They're using chemical weapons.
		They're torturing prisoners of war.
	They are forcing their own citizens at 16 years old into the trenches to be slaughtered in a pointless exercise of this murderous campaign.
	And all of this started way, way back, nearly a decade ago, when Victoria Nuland Turned her snake eyes towards Ukraine.
	This story from Robert Perry was written all the way back in 2015 when he said Victoria Nuland engineered Ukraine's regime change in early 2014 without weighing the likely chaos and consequences, wrote Robert Perry on July 13, 2015, saying as the Ukrainian army squares off against ultra-right and neo-Nazi militias in the West and violence against ethnic Russian continues in the East,
	the obvious folly of the Obama administration's Ukraine policy has come into focus, even for many who tried to ignore the facts or what you might call, quote, the mess that Victoria Nuland made.
	Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs, Toria Nuland was the mastermind behind the February 22, 2014 regime change in Ukraine, plotting to overthrow the democratically elected government of President Viktor Yanukovych while convincing the ever gullible U.S. mainstream media that the coup wasn't really plotting to overthrow the democratically elected government of President Viktor Yanukovych while convincing the ever gullible U.S. mainstream It's all about democracy, isn't it?
	And they're admitting that the war in Ukraine is getting more and more difficult for Ukraine.
	As Russian forces bear down on Bakhmut, Ukraine admits the situation there is more and more difficult.
	The obvious solution would be, hey, why not come to some sort of diplomatic agreement and not kill all of your people?
	But that's not the path they're taking.
	They're taking intransigence and hard-headedness.
	Now, the Kremlin has also said that NATO is de facto at war with Russia.
	Nothing could be truer.
	Obviously, this is what's happening.
	And you hear people, whether it's Representatives in Germany or here in the United States say things like, we are at war with Russia.
	We're not. There's been no declaration of war.
	There's been no debate as to whether there should be a declaration of war.
	But Jake Sullivan went on the Sunday shows and may have accidentally said the quiet part out loud.
	Let's go now to clip number nine.
unidentified		Jake Sullivan. President Zelenskyy is still asking the U.S. for F-16 fighter jets, but President Biden said on Friday that Ukraine doesn't need the F-16s now.
		I know you said that Ukraine doesn't have the training and the maintenance capacity to use the jets, but is the real reason you're not giving Ukraine these jets because you're trying to balance how far to go in supporting Ukraine without antagonizing Russia too much?
		The real reason, Dana, is that we are taking a very hard look at what it is that Ukraine needs for the immediate phase of the war that we're in.
		The war that we're in.
		The war that we're in.
		And this phase of the war requires tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers...
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		This phase of the war that we're in.
		We're not in war.
		This is treason.
		This is treasonous activity.
		This is the...
unidentified		F-16s are a question.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		State Department and the executive branch usurping the power of the United States Congress to actually declare war.
		These people should all be removed.
		They should all be tried for treason.
		They started this war. They brought about the conditions to create this war.
		They are benefiting and profiting from this war, and millions are going to die as a consequence.
unidentified		All right, folks, we're going to do a couple things here.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		First of all, I'm going to open up the phone lines for your calls.
		We'll be taking your calls throughout this hour.
		We have a special guest, Monica Yatuma.
		She's going to talk about what parents can do to protect their children from the so-called sex education taking place in their elementary schools.
		But until then, we will be taking your calls.
		The number to dial is 1-877-789-2539.
		That's 1-877-789-2539.
		And we'll be taking your calls throughout this hour.
		It's always a struggle to balance all of the news that we have with the phone calls.
		And of course, it's not because...
		It's not because the phone calls are some sort of obligation.
		It's because I want to go to as many phone calls as possible because you give us some of our best information.
		I mean, we've broken so many stories recently thanks to the phone calls, especially with the Ohio train derailment.
		I mean, the day, basically the day after it happened and the day after the story really took off, we covered it on Friday, but that Monday, I mean, we had callers You know, train conductors and train engineers, as well as environmental remediation experts who told us, like, all sorts of things that I hadn't heard anywhere else that explained so much about the entire situation.
		I mean, it was really a bunch of brilliant input.
		And since then, I've seen similar things, you know, talked about in different articles.
		But, I mean, we got the dirt here early on with those experts calling in.
		And whether it's experts or people who just spend their time You know, getting this information or just they just have personal information that they want to get out to a wider audience.
		I mean, that's what American Journal is for.
		And you people, you fine people have helped us to really break and be ahead of so many massive stories.
		I was even looking up one yesterday.
		I think it was the, it was another, so our archivist Sean was sending me all sorts of information about Like our old topics.
		He was compiling stuff for this article 15 times.
		Infowars told you COVID-19 was man-made.
		And Oh yeah, this was it.
		It was on January 27th, 2020.
		I went to Home Depot to look at respirator masks.
		Again, this was before anybody mentioned masks in this country.
		Nobody said anything about masks.
		People were still in mainstream media saying COVID-19 is nothing to worry about.
		Coronavirus is a conspiracy theory.
		Go hug a Chinese person. They were still making all these claims.
		But we had a caller call in who said...
		Yeah, I just went to Home Depot and saw some Chinese people buying up boxes and boxes of masks.
		Maybe you should look into this.
		So of course we went to Home Depot and filmed and found it was exactly the same thing happening here.
		So again, yet another scoop of ours brought to us by our callers.
		So... You know, it's such a valuable thing to take our calls.
		But then we have so much news to cover that it's hard to strike the right balance.
		I'm doing my best, folks.
		We will be taking your calls throughout the show today.
		And again, the goal of all of this is to get the best information to the most number of people possible.
		And you help us in this mission by not just calling in, not just sending us tips, not just sharing the information that we have, but of course by going to InfoWarsStore.com.
		Everything else you people do is unbelievably admirable.
		You know, we just really, it warms the cockles of my heart, I think, is the saying they use to see things like, I should really grab the picture.
		Somebody on Twitter sent me a picture of their truck with just InfoWars gigantic across the back glass.
		You're just putting stickers up, wearing your t-shirts around.
		All that stuff is so unbelievably helpful and reminds us of what and who we're fighting for.
		But really the best thing you can possibly do is going to infowarsstore.com.
		The crew, the writers, the content creators at band.video, the money that it takes just to keep the servers up.
		All of it costs money. All of it is necessary and all of it requires your support.
		And so we'll keep going as long as we possibly can.
		And the only limiting factor we have in our growth and our power is...
		You people. It's whether you go to Infowarsstore.com and purchase products.
		And of course, they help you as well.
		Incredible products. Prebiotic fiber.
		You know, prebiotic fiber is...
		Everybody knows fiber is really important.
		And when you look at, you know, the amount of fiber in things like an apple.
		Like a big apple will be less than 5 grams of fiber.
		You're getting 25 grams of fiber with prebiotic fiber.
		At least that's the... That's 25 grams of fiber that...
		The FDA recommends everybody take per day, and prebiotic fiber can make it so easy for you to get there.
		Much easier than eating 10 apples is doing a scoop of probiotic fiber, prebiotic fiber, that is.
	Amp up your body's prebiotic potential with prebiotic fiber.
	So unless you want to sit down and eat an entire bushel of apples to get the fiber you need for your day, why not just try a scoop or two of prebiotic fiber?
	It has the same effect and, of course, helps us fight the info war along the way.
	We'll go out to your phone calls in the next segment.
	I see Patty from Boston's calling, but I think we have Beef Patty.
	Beef Patty. That's kind of funny.
	No pun intended. We got beef.
	We got beef. You insulted Alex Jones.
	So we're going to go to Patty from Boston in the next segment.
	He's going to start with an apology for being so pointlessly rude to Alex Jones, who's a great man and deserves nothing, but you're thanking him for providing you with the endless amounts of entertainment and information over the years.
	So we'll go to Patty. Patty's going to apologize.
	Maybe we'll talk during the break.
	Make sure to get things right.
	So otherwise... Can't do it.
	Can't let you on. So we'll do that in just a second.
	But I want to go to a video first and tell you something first that you should probably know.
	Of course, Oxford in the UK, as well as some other cities in Australia and elsewhere in the UK, are implementing the 15-minute city in an attempt to create a prison system around your very city, demanding that you need permission to Go into the next neighborhood or go pick up your kid from school.
	And all of this is simply a prelude to social credit score, total prison planet, absolute technocratic domination.
	Let's go now to clip number three, where a news report is celebrating that Cleveland, Ohio will be the first 15-minute city in America.
unidentified		Let's watch. Mayor Ben introduced the idea of being the first 15-minute city in the United States.
		He did this in his State of the City address last night.
		The urban planning model is new, but city planners told our Sarah Shookman the time is now to tap into federal dollars to address some of Cleveland's deeper problems.
		Imagine a Cleveland where everything you need is less than 15 minutes away.
		It's this ideal planning framework where human needs and desires are accessible within a 15-minute walk, bicycle ride, or transit trip.
		And that's really what we're striving for in this new planning model.
		City planner Matt Moss says it doesn't have to be a dream.
		Instead of a concrete jungle where people work and separate places where people live, in a 15-minute city, everything is closer.
		It's starting out with the city we have now, and then asking residents how they might want their community to grow or change in ways that, again, make things more accessible or provide them with more opportunities to access the things they want to get to in their day-to-day life.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		We're going to provide opportunity.
		We're going to make things accessible and convenient.
		No, you're building a prison, and you're enticing people to become willful prisoners in your technocratic society.
		We're not going to fall for it.
		But this also isn't anything new.
		They said there that it could possibly be that Cleveland becomes the first 15-minute city.
		We've said this before. Just like with...
		Any of the COVID measures, just like with any of the things they want to impose on us, if they made sense, people would do it willingly.
		They're not asking us whether we want this.
		They're not doing something like building a city as an example and then inviting people to it and showing them what a wonderful thing it could be.
		No, they're imposing this on an unwilling populace, making their lives infinitely more complicated and restricted.
		As they say, whether we like it or not.
		This has nothing to do with convenience or accessibility.
		These are the lies that they're telling you to get them to let you in the door like a vampire.
		Welcome back folks.
unidentified		They say Cleveland will be the first 15 minute city in America.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		But these things are not new by any means.
		In fact, here we have from the Boston Foundation In the Center for Housing Data, 15-Minute Neighborhoods Repairing Regional Harms and Building Vibrant Neighborhoods for All dated September 2021.
		You know, you found out about 15-Minute Neighborhoods when they're implemented.
		And we react to it as if this is something that somebody just came up with.
		And they're like, what if we do 15-minute neighborhoods?
		And we're like, no! And they're going to be like, ah, darn it, okay.
		That's not how it works. For years, these plans have been in the background.
		Slowly but surely, they've been building coalitions of mayors and activists and industries to have everything laid out so by the time it goes public, you can't really resist it because it's already in motion.
		That's what they've been working on for a very long time.
		So again, this is from September 2021, where they say Boston will be a 15-minute city.
		And, of course, it's the same thing that you hear about every other proposal for the so-called 15-minute cities.
		It'll be, you know, they use these little code words.
		Each one of us deserves to live in a vibrant, healthy neighborhood where we can get to everyday destinations without too much hassle.
		These are neighborhoods where you can pick up a library book or walk to the local market, where children feel safe playing outside, where you have to scan your face and get an illegal injection to go to the supermarket.
		Those are the things they don't say.
		No, they don't mention where this really goes and what the point of this really is, which is turning your neighborhood into a prison block that you need permission to leave.
		That's the actual purpose of all of this, and of course they're not going to tell you that because...
		Evil doesn't tell you what it's doing or else you wouldn't let it in the door.
		Like a vampire, right? There are these metaphysical things that humans have passed on through legend and myth for a very long time.
		That's one of them. That evil has to be invited in.
		It has to be welcomed in.
		It can't tell you I'm going to get into your house and bite you in the neck and turn you into a slave.
		You'd never let it in at that point.
		No, they have to charm you.
		They have to tell you of all the good things that are going to come from letting you in their house.
		Letting them in your house, rather.
		We know what the purpose is.
matt infowars ▲ ● ▼		Go ahead. It says repairing regional harms.
matt infowars ▲ ● ▼		What about repairing globalist harms or globalism?
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		What about just stopping it in general?
matt infowars ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, like exporting all good manufacturing jobs outside cities, you know, to other countries, leaving poverty in its wake.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Oh, you want to talk a little bit more about globalism and how they're saving us from things?
		Reflecting sunlight to cool Earth must be studied before climate change gets much worse, urges group of 60 scientists.
		This again from yesterday.
		More than 60 scientists from prominent institutions are advocating for a rigorous study into the reflecting sunlight away from Earth to mitigate the effects of climate change.
		Oh, they're just going to block out the sun like Mr. Bernstein.
		Burns from The Simpsons.
		Sixty supervillains gathering together to promote the idea of blocking out the sun for the sake of humanity.
		These people are psychopaths, right?
		Britain will have to sacrifice 40% of its farmland to biofuel to make net zero air travel a reality.
		Now, I don't like the idea that they want to sacrifice nearly half of their farmland, right?
		Because obviously this is all part of their wider plan to just literally destroy the system of nature itself and replace it with a man-made alternative.
		Instead of... Throwing seeds on the ground and having them grow into plants that you can then feed to your livestock that then give you meat and milk and everything you need to survive.
		They would rather have giant office blocks full of growing algae or pigs in a cage where they never get to move for their whole lives because it's more...
		Sustainable and, you know, controlled and then they get to have an absolute veto power on your ability to get food or buy food.
		So whether it's blocking out the sun or destroying farmland, that's the ultimate goal.
		Don't ever forget it. Absurd.
		40% of its farmland they want to destroy to make biofuel.
		I don't want to destroy the farmland, but I like the idea that they're growing biofuel rather than chopping down old-growth forests in places like British Columbia or Virginia and then shipping them across the Atlantic and then claiming it's carbon neutral because they didn't use coal.
		That's what they're doing now.
		Again, all you have to do is illustrate, elaborate.
		Explain the actual policies and programs of the globalist, and the absurdity is on its face evident undeniable.
		Totally absurd. The most absurd part about all of this is whether they're destroying all of the farmland or blocking out the sun, none of it is necessary, purposeful, or even sensical.
		Steve Malloy on Twitter, zero U.S. warming for 18 years per U.S. Climate Reference Network temp stations.
		That's no U.S. warming despite 30% of total man-made CO2 emissions-driven warming is a hoax.
		So this is U.S. Climate Reference Network data updated 15th to the 17th of this month.
		The average temperature anomalies don't exist, haven't existed for 18 years.
		The temperature is not rising.
		And of course, they don't care.
		They're going to block out the sun anyway on the idea that temperatures are rising even though they're not.
		So are they going to bring about an ice age?
		Are they just going to poison the earth with aluminum in the atmosphere?
		Do they even care?
		What can we do to stop them?
		All questions I would like to see answered.
		But don't hold out a lot of hope.
		As the people that are doing this don't feel the need to explain themselves.
		They impose... And we submit.
		That's the paradigm they're working towards.
		Now we're going to go out to your phone calls.
		We're going to go to Patty in Boston.
		Patty, you call into this show and sometimes we agree, sometimes we disagree.
		You have an acerbic wit.
		I share that sense of humor.
		We sort of dig at one another, but it never gets personal.
		We always have respect for one another.
		But you called into the Alex Jones Show the other day and were just vicious for no reason and insulting without making a point.
		So I'd love to hear what you have to say, Patty, but first I would love to hear an apology for talking to Alex Jones in such a pointless and disrespectful way.
		Patty, you're on the air. Are we going to get an apology?
patty in boston ▲ ● ▼		Sure. I think that I was...
		A little bit rough with Alex.
		He kind of opened the door to having his rear end kicked a couple of times, which I obliged him.
		But I probably should not have.
		I probably should have taken the higher road.
		Just like, you know, earlier you said something, warm the cockles of your heart.
		And I don't want to be a cockle blocker.
		You know, I'm not trying to block your cockle.
		And I shouldn't have done that to Alex, I guess.
		You know, he called me a hooligan at the end of the call and hung up on me.
		I mean, he hangs up on me every time.
		But he called me a hooligan.
		That's kind of unusual. Nobody said that to me except for my grandmother when I was 15.
		So, you know, it was weird.
		But, you know, I think it was mostly in good humor, right?
		I mean, we were kind of busting each other's chops.
		It wasn't, like, mean-spirited, I don't think.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		You know, you and I bust each other's chops, but it's, you know, it's usually about a topic.
		It's, you know, I just...
		The personal attacks, Patty.
		I can't... I don't like him, and he doesn't deserve him.
		And you didn't even, you know, even the people on your side were total...
		Total jerks to you afterwards.
patty in boston ▲ ● ▼		I got way more guff from the left than I did from people on the right.
		I think most of my friends on Twitter on the right, people you would know, kind of just send me a message saying, oh, it's kind of funny or whatever.
		It was no big deal. But people on the left were like, how dare you call him fat?
		And I was like, oh, come on.
		Are we serious? We have to erase every comedian in history who ever made a fat joke at this point.
		Alex didn't get mad at the fat joke.
		I'll give him credit for that.
		If you can't tell the difference between bullying a teenage girl for being overweight and making a joke about a 47-year-old man, then what are we doing with ourselves?
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		I think I know the issue here.
		I think that you consider yourself to be on the left, and the left are humorless dirtbags, so I don't know why you insist on trying to be a part of them.
		Like, you... Nobody cares on our side.
		And like, yeah, it was rude.
		And I don't want to, you know, have somebody insult Alex and welcome on this show like, you know, nothing happened.
		But, you know, we're not about to ban somebody from our platform, you know, because they make an off-color joke.
patty in boston ▲ ● ▼		I appreciate that because, I mean, the instinct for most people on the left would be to just say, hey, you can never call in here again.
		But it never even occurred to me.
		That you guys would ban me.
		Like, it just didn't. Like, because I know you won't.
		Like, you know, unless I went outside the lines of, you know, cursing and things of that nature.
		Not that I've ever done that before, but I'm just saying, you know, like, I knew that you guys would be like, okay, yeah, whatever.
		We can take. And I appreciate that.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		We can take it. And I'm sorry we didn't actually get to get to your point, but I appreciate the...
patty in boston ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, but you got a lot of callers, so I appreciate that.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		But I appreciate the apology, and one day you'll learn, one day you'll learn, the left is the evil side, and you'll just give it up already.
unidentified		All right, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		We're joined in the third hour by Monica Yatuma.
		We'll talk about the Great Schools Initiative.
		We'll take your phone calls throughout this segment as well.
		Let's go to Margie in Minnesota.
		Margie, I understand you've called in for a few days.
		We haven't been able to get to you, so happy to go to you now.
		Margie in Minnesota, you want to talk about Biden signing the order for the WHO treaty.
		Go ahead, Margie. Hi, Harrison.
unidentified		I'm the one that gave you the word the woke poke about six months ago.
		But yeah, it was very frustrating trying to get a hold of you to just get someone to bring this up before Monday, and now it's Monday, and I still haven't heard anything.
		Did he sign it? What's going on?
		And all these distractions, I think, are partly for us not paying attention to this.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		That could be very true.
		You know, it's kind of hard to say what's going on.
		Basically, you know, the president can't sign treaties for us.
		That's not how it works.
		That power is supposed to be in the hands of the Senate.
		See, like, this is just part of a larger thing of what's going on now, of just the executive branch, the deep state, just grabbing power wherever they can.
		Technically, we're not supposed to go to war without a declaration of war.
unidentified		Right. I don't think we have a...
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I mean, you know, there's what's on the Constitution, there's what's on paper, and then there's the reality of the situation, right?
		They're not allowed to do the things, but if they do them and nobody stops them from doing it, I guess they're allowed to do it.
		I mean, that's sort of just how it works.
		Like, that's just what predicates mean, or...
		Yeah, predicates. Like, if they can do it and get away with it, next time they'll do it again and say, well, we already did this, and you guys let us get away with it there, so this must be constitutional, and then we have to try to stop them somehow.
		So, the Biden administration has agreed to sign on to the WHO treaty, but they don't have that power, they don't have that right.
		That's a usurpation of a power that's solely designated to the Senate and the Congress.
		AP has a story.
		WHO pandemic treaty draft doesn't sign over U.S. sovereignty.
		Oh, no. Never.
		Of course not. The claim is this.
		A legally binding World Health Organization pandemic treaty will give the organization authority to control U.S. policies during a pandemic, including those on vaccines, lockdowns, school closures, and more.
		The AP's assessment that this is false.
		The voluntary treaty, which is in draft form and still far away from ratification, does not overrule any nation's ability to pass individual pandemic-related policies.
		Multiple experts, including one involved in the draft process, told the Associated Press the treaty lays out broad recommendations related to international cooperation on pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response.
		Nowhere in the 30-page documents are lockdowns, closures, or specific citizen surveillance systems mentioned.
		They don't mention them, but they do give the WHO power to actually apply sanctions to countries that don't go along with its plan.
		And just because they don't say lockdown's in the treaty document doesn't mean that wouldn't be one of the measures that they would then demand that countries would have to submit to under threat of retaliation from the global community.
		So it is absolutely selling our sovereignty out.
		It is absolutely granting lawmaking abilities to an unelected international cabal that has no oversight, no ability for us to choose who goes on it or what their policies are.
		It is a total usurpation of our national sovereignty, and it's being done without going through the proper process, which means it's illegal and shouldn't be happening.
		So, yeah, that's what I know.
		They're trying to cover it up, of course.
		They're trying to push this.
		They're trying to claim that you'll still be able to pass your own pandemic-related policies, then why sign a treaty?
		This is the weird thing. It falls apart in just the most basic logic.
		They're like, no, no, no, it doesn't mean anything.
		It means that you get to do whatever you want still, and it just means there will be recommendations.
		Then the obvious question is, why should there be a treaty?
		If it's just recommendations, then you don't need a treaty, so we won't sign the treaty.
		And they're like, no, no, you have to sign the treaty.
		And it's like... Oh, okay, that's because there are obligations.
		That's because there is legal punishment for not following what's going on there.
		All this stuff just falls apart the minute that you think about it, the minute that you look at it.
		If it's not enforceable by law, if it's not a usurpation of our power, then we don't need to sign a treaty and everything's fine.
		We are signing a treaty.
		they do want us to sign a treaty because it explicitly does those things.
		It does usurp our power.
		It does replace our sovereignty with an unelected global government, which, by the way, utterly failed when it came to COVID.
		In my lifetime, they have had one challenge.
		It was coronavirus, and they failed on every front.
		They covered up the source, covered up the origin, covered up the spread until it was too late to stop and contain it, enforced and suggested and demanded.
		Policies and interventions that not only totally failed, but caused a plethora of other negative outcomes from all of this.
		So why you would ever agree to do anything these people said, let alone sign a treaty with them, is nonsensical, totally pointless, illogical, pursued on purpose by the people in power because they don't have your best interests in mind.
		They have control. That's my interpretation of it, Margie.
		It is still moving forward, but they're essentially trying to circumvent the actual constitutional process this should go through by having the Biden administration sign it instead of the Senate, which, again, not legal.
		But if they do it and we allow them to do it, then that's the predicate they need.
unidentified		To act like it's legal. So that we don't allow them to do it.
		And with no one talking about it, like Infowars or Pete Santilli, I tried to get him to bring it up.
		It's not getting out there, Harrison.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, we have talked about it.
		We haven't maybe dedicated enough time to it.
		It's hard to dedicate enough time to anything with all the stuff coming down.
		But we have been covering it.
		We have been talking about it.
		I think I covered it earlier this week and last week as well.
		But I didn't cover it today.
		So thank you for reminding us of this.
		And I'll make sure to dedicate more time to it in the coming days.
		Thank you for that, Margie. Let's go now to Janet in Nevada.
		Nevada in V. You have suggestions for Trump.
unidentified		Go ahead, Janet. You're on the air. Well, first of all, I think that Trump should promise to revoke immunity from Big Pharma, obviously.
unidentified		And second, medical care and financial compensation for vaccine victims.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		That is the one policy I have not seen him come out with.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		He's covered just about everything else, but he's still sticking to his guns on the vaccine, which, again, could just be a self-preservation tactic, as, you know, we don't know if, you know, if he were to say it was fake, then they'd go, okay, it's your fault, you're going to jail now.
unidentified		I mean... Well, they're going to say that anyway.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right. Yeah, could be true.
unidentified		You know, Greg Reese's most recent report about how they released the...
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Tainted vaccines, yeah.
unidentified		Yeah, to the red state.
unidentified		I kind of wonder if they timed those releases to his rallies, to Trump rallies, knowing that he would get up there and tell everybody to go take it.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Maybe so. Maybe so.
		But, you know, again, when he would say that, he would get booed at his rally.
		Like, the rally would boo him.
		I know! It's so funny.
		They're like, the cult of Trump.
		And then, like, have you ever seen a cult where the cult leader gets booed by his followers?
		Like, that's not how cults work.
		Actually, we're free thinkers, and we're free to disagree with Trump all we want.
		Thank you for the call, Janet. Oh, I know. I'd love to talk to you more, but I want to get to at least one more call here since we are sort of truncated on time.
		Let's go to Rick in Australia.
		Rick, you say the last three years have been hell in Australia, but more people are waking up.
		What do you have to tell us about this?
		You're on the air. Yeah.
unidentified		Hi, Harrison. How are you, mate?
unidentified		Good, thanks. Good to hear from you, mate.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Thanks for calling in. What's life like in Australia these days?
unidentified		It's been an interesting past couple of years, you know.
		The last sort of six months, I've seen a lot of people start to vaccine regret.
		It's been massive, and we've sort of seen the death rates very high compared to usual.
		So you've seen 17% to 20% above historical averages.
		Each of the last months, it's been October was 36%.
		Above historical data, I think it was November 17 and a half the last month, January 2023, it was 20% and it's not like, you know, usually in summer it might be a bit higher because there's bushfires.
		There hasn't been any of that this year.
		So there's a lot of vaccine resentment going on in Australia and you've even seen it a bit in the media, sort of media people are questioning the vaccine and it's sort of It's sort of uncharted waters.
		It's sort of like you've got half of the people who are obviously, you know, still in denial and probably will have a coincidence and then you've got the other half who are in regret.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Well, I'll tell you, thank you for the call, Rick.
		We do have to go to break here.
		We'll take more calls in the beginning of the third hour before we welcome our guest.
		But, you know, now is the time to explain to people not only were the shots, you know, nothing they said was real.
		They knew it was false the whole time.
		People have this idea that, like, well, they, you know, they tried their best and maybe it didn't work out right.
		We need to show them the evidence.
		Go back in time and go, everybody who was paying attention knew this was wrong, and they did it anyway.
unidentified		You're tuned in to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith.
unidentified		Watch it live right now at band.video.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		All right, welcome back, folks.
		So third hour has begun here on the American Journal.
		We're going to be welcoming our guest, Monica Yatuma, the director of the Great Schools Initiative in this hour.
		We're going to take your phone calls before we connect with her and finish up with that.
		Still have some stories that I'd like to cover.
		You know, it happens quite a bit that I'll have some story that I really want to cover, but I know I've got to dedicate time to it.
		And then, you know, during the show, I'm like, I just don't have time to dedicate the time that I need to this.
		I'll do it tomorrow, and then the next day happens, and...
		We end up blowing up a pipeline or something, and he gets pushed back again.
		So I keep having to push back these stories.
		I really want to talk about more on sort of the Scott Adams concept.
		We still have some news about the train derailment that I want to get into.
		I may have to save that for tomorrow.
		I think before we go out to your calls, I do want to...
		I want to save it for tomorrow, and I want to really explain this.
		I think we'll just start with...
		We'll just do this, and I'll have to cover it more tomorrow.
		But clip number eight is Nina Turner.
		She's a socialist whose biggest supporters were the Young Turks.
		And actually, there's a video of her...
		Posted with just the quote, you know, the residents of this area deserved what they got because they voted for Trump in reference to the plane, train derailment and the poisoning of Ohio.
		And I saw a lot of people reacting negatively to that, but they didn't watch the whole video.
		The whole video, she's actually exactly right.
		And this is another case where I point to going, okay, now we can reach...
		When someone has sentiments like this, we can reach across the aisle, we can shake hands, we can understand that we might have vastly different...
		Views of reality, really, at the end of the day.
		But we both understand what's really going on here and we both oppose it.
		So let's come together on this.
		I really think this is a chance for unity here.
		And Nina Turner, of all people, I mean, she's a...
		I really hesitate to say anything nice about Nina Turner.
		I mean, she's such a joke.
		It's hard to fathom. But she's right about this, and I can't deny it.
		And she's one of the only people on the left or the right saying this, and that's a beautiful thing.
		So good for her, and thank you to her.
		Let's go to Nina Turner, clip number eight, talking about the talking points about the derailment in Ohio.
unidentified		Let's watch. Just one more point.
		For the neoliberals who say that the residents of that area deserve what they are getting because they voted for President Donald J. Trump is abhorrent.
		This is about poverty.
		This is about poor, working-class white people who are enduring some of the same things that poor, working-class black people endure, whether it's Flint, Cleveland, or Jackson, Mississippi.
		And so I want to lay it out. The cultist behavior in politics right now, it is a sin and a shame that when people are suffering to this magnitude, you got people who will fix their mouths, to quote my grandmother, to say that they are getting what they deserve.
		What they deserve is clean air, clean food, clean water.
		They deserve relief, both in the short term and also in the long term.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		That was beautiful, right?
		That was exactly right.
		How is she the only one saying this?
		How is she the only one Who can actually recognize this?
		It is. It's a sin and it's a shame that you have neoliberals or whatever.
		They call them neoliberals. They're just liberals.
		They're just on the left. They're all on the same team.
		She differs from them here, but barely, right?
		And of course, she has to relate it back to, well, this is just, it's happening to white people, but it's always happened to black.
		Well, it's always happened to People in America.
		It's happened to everybody. It shouldn't matter what race they are, whether you care for your fellow human beings.
		So you need to reject that paradigm.
		You need to reject that construction of reality.
		And just stick to the heart of the matter, as she just did.
		Say, this is about clean air, clean water, and the utter failure of this government to provide the most basic respect or decency or consideration for its citizens.
		And that's all we want. That's all we want.
		Just a sign that our government doesn't openly despise its own citizens.
		That they're willing to use the incredible power and wealth that we have to actually help us and not exclusively help foreign countries and, you know, invading illegal immigrants.
		They get hotel rooms and flights across the country.
		Not the people in Ohio, though.
		And that's a problem. So good on Nita Turner for calling it out.
		Well done. I totally agree.
		All right, ladies and gentlemen, your calls this segment, our guests in the next segment, and the news abounds.
		Again, we could talk about all this stuff for hours.
		I just want to get you the headlines, the highlights.
		You can always find these stories on my Substack and do your own reading and see what I may have missed today.
		And if you sign up for the Substack, you also get access to all the videos, of which there are...
		These days, there's like...
		40 to 60 a day that really give you a great breakdown of what's going on.
		And I'm publishing today's Daily Dispatch as we speak.
		So let's go out to your phone calls now.
		We've got Nathaniel in Rhode Island who wants to talk about a Jesus Sign ministry for Infowars.
		Go ahead, Nathaniel. You are on the air.
unidentified		Yes. Hi, Harry-son.
		Thank you for taking my call.
		I really appreciate you guys a lot.
		You guys are the network that I listen to regularly.
		And so I have a Jesus Sign ministry.
		It's very simple.
		I go for walks with a sign that has the name Jesus on it.
		And it's been a real blessing for me.
		And it's mutually beneficial.
		I go for walks.
		And people honk the horn.
		And so I was just thinking that maybe Infowars would like to incorporate that into what you guys do.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		You know, I'll tell you, I will never forget.
		God, it must have been...
		It's at least 10 years ago at this point.
		It's probably a little more. It's probably about 12 years ago.
		Driving down Guadalupe Street here in Austin.
		Guadalupe, as we call it.
		I believe it was the corner of Lamar and Guadalupe.
		I saw a guy standing.
		It looked like he was on his lunch break.
		It was about noontime.
		And he was just standing on the corner.
		Kind of like wearing a suit.
		He literally looks like he worked at an office building nearby and just like on his lunch break he was standing on the corner with a sign that said something like tune into the truth or the truth live now 97.6 or whatever the radio station of Alex Jones was.
		I don't know if it said Alex Jones or not.
		I think it did, though. I think it said, you know, Alex Jones, live now with the truth, tune in.
		And I remember tuning into it.
		And I remember, you know, Alex Jones was in the middle of a very powerful rant about George Washington and, like, what it is to be an American and that we do not submit, we do not give in to authority just because it's the authority that this is our birthright.
		And, uh... What I remember most is just like almost the adrenaline pumping, like hearing Alex rage about what it meant to be an American.
		And I just remember like grabbing my steering wheel and just being like, yeah!
		And like, and that's, you know, who knows how many people that day followed that dude's sign.
		You know, Who knows if, you know, that was one aspect that set me on the path to be where I am now.
		So I think that's a brilliant idea.
		And I think it shows, especially if you're dressed nicely, respectable person, you know, out there looking good, representing InfoWars in a positive way, and just, you know, politely holding a sign.
		Tune in now right here.
		You know, maybe print out a QR code.
		It just says truth and you're just holding it.
		People will go, well, what's that all about?
		Let me tune into that and see what's going on there.
		And who knows how many people you can introduce to Infowars and this idea.
		So I think it's a brilliant idea. I have personal experience with this.
		Long before ever working at Infowars, seeing somebody with a sign, tuning in, and being reminded that, oh yeah, there's this wild man in Austin who is guarding the flame of American liberty.
		It's a beautiful thing. So I think that's a great idea, Nathaniel.
		I think if you do it, take pictures, take videos.
		We'd love to promote it and let more people know.
		I mean, that is real... Grassroots, on the ground, in real life activism, that can be hugely effective.
		So yeah, I think that's a great thing, Nathaniel.
		Thank you for that. Let's go to...
		Alright, we'll go to Corn Pop.
		Corn Pop is in the state of Maine.
		You are a political activist.
		You want to talk about the It's Okay to Be White rally.
		Was this a rally that's already happened, Corn Pop, or is this coming up?
		What's going on here? You're on the air.
unidentified		Hey, hi. Can you guys hear me?
		I hear you. I'm just trying to get into a place where it's a little more quiet on that work.
		But yeah, so I had a buddy that actually called in and actually spoke to Alex probably about two days ago about a rally that we had in Portland, Maine.
		He started it all, but he actually stood up in Portland, Maine with a flag that said it's okay to be white.
		And the council actually went haywired, did a call for action, makes you know BLMs out there.
		So, of course, I'm having a little bit of trouble hearing you.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		What do you call yourself again? What's the group that you're with?
		I may have lost Corn Pop, but I remember this story and I was going to cover it.
		Here's a story from PressHerald.com.
		Counter-protesters show up to condemn It's Okay to Be White banner in Congress Square.
		Several dozen people descended on the Square Friday to push back on the banner that former city council candidate Richard Ward had been displaying.
		You know, this relates to the Scott Adams thing, right?
		That at this point in America, it is considered racist to say it's okay to be white.
		Not it's great to be white.
		Not being wise better than being anything else.
		Just it's okay. It's okay to be white.
		I even disagree with this.
		I think it's great. I think it's great to be white.
		It's great to be black. I think it's great to be whatever you are, personally.
		I'm like Mr. Rogers like that.
		But this is the thing. If you hang a banner that says it's okay to be white, you'll be called a racist.
		You may very well be attacked and have your attack justified.
		You'll have the media writing hit pieces about you.
		People condemning it across the board.
		Why? Why? It says it's okay to be white.
		There's no ulterior motive behind this.
		There's no secret meaning to this.
		It is exactly what it means.
		And that's why it was created in the first place.
		This all comes from a 4chan troll, basically, that, you know, 4chaners were like, let's just make a sign that says it's okay to be white.
		Just to illustrate how anti-white the media is, just to illustrate how anti-white everything is these days, we'll have a sign that just says it's okay to be white and watch how they react.
		And they do exactly as predicted.
		They freak out.
		They claim it's a Nazi slogan, and they want to take it down.
		So, you know, bravo to these people holding the sign.
		one of the counterfeits says, it's infuriating.
		It feels great to be out here, though, in much greater numbers, standing in solidarity against them.
		It's really disheartening to see this kind of rhetoric on display, said one of the counter protesters.
		Oh, it's so disheartening for white people to not hate themselves.
		It's so disheartening for white people to demand not to be hated by other people.
		These people are broken. These people are psychologically destroyed.
		They have been... Just filled with evil.
		I don't know. I mean, they've just been forcibly converted to this really sick, sick religious view that it's not okay to be white.
		It's so counter to everything we believe as Americans, everything we were taught since we were little kids about treating your fellow human being correctly.
		It really is a sign of just how hateful towards white people the entire establishment is.
		Down to your local city council or your local newspaper.
		It is okay to be white.
		It's okay to say. It's okay to be white.
		And no white, black, Hispanic, Asian, no person in the world should have a problem with this.
		If you do, you're evil.
		Sorry, hate to say this to you, but you are a hateful bigot and...
		Sorry. Sorry.
		It's great being white. It's great.
		It's great. White people need to know.
		White children need to know that you are not bad for existing.
		That you are okay to exist.
		If this was an it's okay to be black sign, people would say it's great, said the organizer, Ward.
		If it said it's okay to be Muslim, it would be great.
		It's like how dare a white person hold a sign that it says it's okay for a white person to exist.
		And of course the ADL, the Anti-Defamation League, lists it's okay to be white as a hate symbol in its database.
		Which means the FBI thinks it's a hate symbol.
		Which means we're not ruled by white people.
		Folks, we're going to be back on the other side to talk about the Great Schools Initiative.
		Again, we just want love.
		We just want... We want unity.
		We want harmony.
		We don't want diversity.
		We don't want division.
		We don't want brainwashing or hate.
		We only want mutual respect and admiration for one another.
	That's what we keep pushing for.
	That's why they hate us.
	They would love if we were the stereotypes that they paint us as, but we're not.
	If you watch, I hope you know that.
	And I hope you support us by going to InfoWarsStore.com.
	We want to keep this mission of love alive and you can support us.
	Send us your love at InfoWarsStore.com.
	It's the only way we stay on air.
	And of course, we have dedicated ourselves to this.
	Even if it would feel really good to hate these people, we know that's not what Jesus Christ wants.
	So we're going to follow his rules. All right, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
	You're watching InfoWars.
	This is the American Journal. I'm your host, Harrison Smith.
	My guest today is Monica Yatuma.
	She is a representative from the Great Schools Initiative, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization designed to restore the focus of education in declining schools in Michigan.
	GSI empowers parents to opt out of rogue sex education that's being taught in many schools.
	You can find their website at greatschoolsinitiative.org.
unidentified		Yeah, thank you so much for having me.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		I'm very excited to have you on because not only is this something I think we need more activist groups being involved in, but the fact that you actually help parents to opt out of it on an individual basis, I think is really a powerful thing.
		But tell us, what is the Great Schools Initiative?
		What's your guys' goal?
		And how are you helping to bring it about?
unidentified		Yeah, absolutely. So the Great Schools Initiative, we started it back in just last year, back around October time frame.
		And we were trying to find a solution to all the hyper-sexualization and the rogue sex education going on in Michigan schools.
		And so just through talking with some people, networking, we were introduced to the Thomas More Society.
		And in conjunction with them, we were actually able to identify a law that Michigan has on the books That basically says any type of sex education must be taught in a sex education classroom setting.
		Every school district must have a sex education advisory board.
		So SEAB is the acronym there.
		And it has to be comprised of parents, school staff, and clergy.
		And so, again, anything sex-related has to stay within that sex ed classroom.
		We thought, holy cow, this is a lot.
		It's been on the books for years, like over 30, 40 years.
		So we decided, let's focus on this.
		We started the Great Schools Initiative, and then that's when we launched our opt-out form, because within the law, it also says that parents have to have the ability to opt out of this sex education curriculum or any teaching.
		They have the right to do that, to opt out of all of it or certain parts.
		And so that's how we got started, and that's what our focus has been.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Again, I just think it's a great thing.
		We have so many different places to go with this.
		Obviously, the focus largely in the cultural sphere right now is on like grooming and like LGBT issues.
		But you guys have a much like broader thing that you guys are doing, right?
		You're not focused on the LGBT issue or anything like that about what exactly is in the sex education, but more just about the wider swath of so-called sex education and what it's teaching to kids.
		Can you explain that a little bit?
		Because I don't want people to be confused and think that this is a, you know, anti LGBT or anything like that.
		Explain, you know, you guys's view in that regard.
unidentified		Yeah, absolutely.
		And I appreciate that question because we're not anti LGBTQ.
		So the policies that we work on and try to set forth and the schools that we want to work with, we want to protect the safety and the privacy of all children.
		We have had parents of LGBTQ children that come to us and say, My children get uncomfortable.
		They don't want this spotlight on them.
		They want to be able to talk to somebody sometimes in private.
		And so that's why I stress that we want to protect the safety and the privacy of all children, whether they're heterosexual, whether they're LGBTQ. So I know We've had the president of the Michigan State School Board here in Michigan, the Michigan Department of Education, come out and say that we're really just a don't-say-gay type of organization.
		That's not the case at all.
		We don't have the word gay, and we're not targeting LGBTQ at all.
		It's not in any of our opt-out forms.
		It's not in any of our language.
		We're here for all students, and so I want to make that very clear because, you know, with her being the president of the Michigan Department of Education, that's a very...
		It's a dangerous precedent to set.
		It's very divisive. And so I'm really glad you asked that question, Harrison.
		Thank you. That's a great question.
		So we're here for all kids.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I just wanted to clarify because at the end of the day, it's not necessarily about pushing an ideology on kids.
		I mean, that does happen. That's not what your focus is on.
		And it's not a necessary focus because, you know, I remember back in like the 90s when this conversation was really happening.
		Like they didn't used to have sex education in schools.
		They said it was necessary to prevent teen pregnancies, to teach kids about STDs.
		I mean, it had a very specific and narrow context.
		You know, purpose originally.
		It was like, kids don't, they're not being taught this at home.
		They got to have information just about anatomy and the body and how it works just so they know to prevent pregnancies and STDs.
		And since then, you know, once they got their foot in the door, it spiraled out of all this other stuff.
		So can you talk a little bit about that and just about, you know, what it is that maybe makes parents uncomfortable and why they would want to opt out of sex education in schools?
unidentified		Yeah, so the model that you're referring to is actually the traditional sex ed model that maybe when you went to school and when I went to school, that's what we learned about, just the basic stuff.
		So now Planned Parenthood has come out and they're pushing this comprehensive sex education model.
		So they're throwing gender pronouns and the transsexual identity stuff and different sexual identity into the traditional sex ed, and they're calling it comprehensive sex education.
		And so there's a lot of parents stepping forward and saying, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm not comfortable with this.
		I want my kid to learn how to be safe.
		I want my kid to learn how to avoid an unwanted pregnancy and be careful with STDs.
		And that's where the traditional reproductive health comes in.
		But all this other stuff, why do we need this?
		And really, we don't, especially at the younger ages.
		It's really just confusing kids.
		So, with our opt-out form and with the law on our side here in Michigan, what we're saying is you can fill out this opt-out form.
		You can opt out of this comprehensive sex education model if it's not for you, because we're saying that you, as the parent, should have the right and the parental control to set the pace for when your child learns about human sexuality, because it's a very sensitive topic, right? So those are your options.
		You can opt out of all sex ed altogether or our opt-out form is comprehensive enough where it lets you pick certain aspects of sex education that you might not want your kids to learn.
		So if you want to just stick to the traditional stuff, you have that right and you have that on our opt-out form.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		And let's talk about that for a second.
		You have a tab on your website.
		The website again is greatschoolsinitiative.org, greatschoolsinitiative.org.
		What's under the opt-out tab?
		How do parents opt out of this and how do they make sure that their kids are actually opting out and that's actually being, you know, their wishes are being respected?
unidentified		Yeah, so we recommend you go to the website, you fill out a little bit of information, then we send you the opt-out form and you can download it.
		You fill it out and you opt out of what you choose to opt out for your child.
		You then take that form and you turn it into your respective school.
		Now we're finding that a lot of schools are accepting it, but some schools are not.
		So we send a follow-up email after we send you the opt-out form to ask you how did the process go when you turn in the opt-out form.
		So you can select, it went great, they accepted it, I received confirmation, or they didn't accept it and they don't want to take it.
		So then you have two options. We provide you with a template letter that outlines the law and basically says, you must accept this opt-out form because this is my right, and then you can take that and turn it into the school, or If the school is being really hostile to the parent, we give them the option to opt for option two, which is we can send a demand letter on your behalf and try to work with the school and get them to accept your opt-out letter.
		And then when you turn in the opt-out letter, we ask these parents to be really vigilant, pay attention, and make sure that they are respecting the opt-out letter and what you've asked for for your child.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		It just seems like the most basic thing.
		Like, every parent should have this right, and it should obviously be respected, but we know that people that run these schools don't always have that same concept in mind.
		They're much more willing to say, well, I have a master's degree, actually, so I know what's better for your child than you do.
		And it's just unacceptable.
		I love what Great Schools Initiative is doing.
		I think it's such a powerful thing, and we'll get back into the other side.
		Again, how people can Maybe start this in their own state.
		I'd love to have a lot of questions about, you know, I know this is obviously happening in Michigan, but where else is this happening?
		Can Greater Schools Initiative expand to other states?
		Because I would think they would have laws like this on the books.
		I mean, it really reminds me of, you know, the vaccine issue.
		They'll say that it's mandatory.
		They don't want to tell you that you can opt out.
		They don't want to tell you you can opt out of sex education, but you can.
		And we'll talk more about it on the other side.
unidentified		Stay with us. All right, welcome back, folks.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		This is Harrison Smith. My guest is Monica Yatuma.
		She is a director of partner relations at GSI. That's the Great Schools Initiative, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization designed to restore the focus on education and declining schools in Michigan.
		Obviously, a huge and important resource for the people of Michigan.
		You can actually opt out of the so-called comprehensive sex education for your child.
		You can go to their website, greatschoolsinitiative.org.
		I think we're good to go.
		I think we're good to go.
unidentified		Sure, yeah. I can't speak in too much detail on that, but what I can tell you is, yes, that is a long-term goal of the Great Schools Initiative.
		So there are states that have very similar laws.
		In Michigan, though, it was pretty straightforward and very ironclad, and so that's why, in conjunction with the Thomas More Society and our other attorneys, we decided that Michigan was the state to start and then hopefully set precedent here, and then long-term goals move along in other states and kind of follow the same path here.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I definitely think that's what's needed.
		Do you know, in Michigan, how early is sex ed taught?
		Do you know, I mean, is it elementary school?
unidentified		Is it middle school, typically? Typically middle school, we're seeing now as young as maybe even fifth grade.
		But from the reports that the Great Schools Initiative is getting from parents, we're seeing polls and surveys and quizzes and even books being given to kids on this topic as young as first grade, which is super young.
		And that's why I say it's getting to the point where it's just confusing kids and it's hurting them more than it's helping them.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, absolutely. And I can't help but think back to a protest that I attended here in Austin when they were talking about implementing, whether or not to implement comprehensive sex education.
		And I actually had a counter-protester tell me, like, there's no such thing as innocence or we're going to destroy your innocence.
		And it's such a bizarre idea to me.
		Obviously, there's such thing as innocence.
		And you want to preserve it for as long as humanly possible.
		I mean, there are some things that eventually you have to know.
		But why... Why burden kids with knowledge that they don't need until they need it?
		I mean, it seems obvious to me, but clearly there's a push to act like there's not even such a thing as innocence.
		It's so bizarre to me.
		So I really appreciate that you guys are helping to preserve that innocence a little bit longer.
		Again, is that something that you guys take into account?
unidentified		Oh, yeah, absolutely.
		I mean, look, I'm a mother of three young children, and sometimes from the other side I get a lot of flack for this, but it's my personal opinion and what we're carrying in with GSI. I feel it's extremely important to protect the innocence of our children for as long as possible.
		There's no reason not to do that, right?
		They're going to grow up one day.
		I don't understand why we need to rush it.
		And I don't understand why they feel that it's appropriate to hand a child an assignment or a book that has sexually explicit content in it when we've seen studies that show that kids are not ready to comprehend this kind of material and in the long term and it can actually cause damage.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Of course. Of course you can.
		That's such a good point. I mean, any psychologist or psychiatrist, like, they know this.
		They know that it's not about, like, an accepting society.
		It's not about, like, alternative sexuality versus, you know, normative.
		It has nothing to do with that.
		Kids are not wired to understand this stuff.
		It's a burden on theirs.
		I don't want to get graphic or anything, but, you know, there have been even stories recently where parents will go, well, we're just open with our sexuality in front of our kids, and the kids have huge problems.
		They're, like, wetting the bed. I mean, it's just, it's not, they're not psychologically capable of dealing with this stuff, so why are kids being subjected to it?
		I would opt out of this whole thing.
		Yeah. If it was up to me, I want to keep my kids innocent for as long as humanly possible because we know that it's psychologically not healthy for them to have to deal with this stuff.
unidentified		No, it's not.
		And again, that's why I go back to we want to protect the safety and the privacy of all children because it's so important.
		And we really want to solidify the role of the family, especially parental control.
		And this is a parental control issue too, right?
		So there's the part of it where if we don't set boundaries, we're really in the long run hurting these kids mentally and emotionally and possibly physically because When you set these kids up this way and you put sexually explicit content and material in front of them, you know, you start to desensitize them.
		And then so, of course, we live in a world where there's pedophiles.
		So even in the long run, besides being mentally and emotionally harmed, they could be physically harmed.
		There's that aspect. The other aspect is the parental control aspect.
		We've seen this push and pull battle with states and parents.
		And the bottom line is this.
		My children are my children.
		They belong to me. And I will have the last say in what's good for them and what's healthy for them.
		Because at the end of the day, it's a parent that knows what's best for their child.
		And so that's why it's important for that parent to set the pace for which their child learns human sexuality.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely. And of course, you know, we've already seen the attacks on your organization.
		They claim it's anti-LGBTQ. They're going to make all these claims about it.
		They're also likely, I'm sure they've already made the claim that they're like, well, they just don't want kids to...
		They want teenagers to get pregnant or any sort of ridiculous claim like that.
		But we know that...
		Maybe it started out with, hey, we want to lower teen pregnancy.
		We want to lower STD rates.
		Kids need to know this information.
		But at this point, we've seen the undercover video from Project Veritas where they're literally handing out sex toys to children and reveling in this and thinking it's great.
		So it's already gone too far.
		We've got to walk it back.
		I love that people are getting involved and making demands of their school board now, but this is such a great way to do it just on an individual level.
		Go, I opt out, we opt out, you're not doing this to my kid, and then we'll deal with the wider issues later.
		So again, I just think it's a very powerful thing for individuals to do on an individual level.
		Is the Greater Schools Initiative also working to get these rules changed on a school board level, that sort of stuff?
unidentified		Yeah, so our end goal really is to work with these schools and the school boards and see what we can implement together, what policies and policy changes.
		Because we don't want—obviously, we're never hostile towards the school districts, but we're getting hostility from the Michigan Department of Education.
		And so they're sowing that division, and they're kind of planting that seed within the school districts, like, oh, GSI bad.
		Except that's not the case at all. We want to work with them and see what policy changes we can enact.
		And because at the end of the day, the school board is, they want to make it a top priority to keep these kids safe too.
		And so that's our top priority.
		That's their top priority. There's no reason why we can't work together.
		And we look forward to that.
		That's what we really want to do.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I think it's such an important thing.
		And it's almost like we just didn't, you know, as parents or as just Americans, we just sort of assume like, well, your kids are just being taught what they need to taught.
		It's not true. There are activists that are getting in there with an agenda to change things.
		Without you knowing, and you've got to be informed, and then you've got to speak out against it if you disagree with what's going on.
		I really think it's a powerful tool against what's happening on an individual level and a group level.
		Just perusing your website here, again, it's greatschoolsinitiative.org.
		You have things like this. A mother from Rochester Hills says, It's amazing.
		After a year of getting little to no response from the school, after I submitted the opt-out form, the administration quickly made accommodations for my son.
		I think that's...
		Yeah, that's a great testament to, you know, how effective this opt-out program can be.
		So people in Michigan, they want to go to greatschoolsinitiative.org to sign up for this.
		And I think people from other states should maybe reach out to y'all and start chapters in other states, because I'd love to see one of these in Texas.
		Anything else you want people to know about the Great Schools Initiative, Monica?
unidentified		Just that we're here.
		You can always go, just like you mentioned, greatschoolsinitiative.org.
		You can reach out to us. If you're in Michigan, print out the opt-out form.
		Encourage your friends, other parents to do it.
		If you're afraid to do it by yourself and you're afraid of repercussions for your child, please know that there are protections for that within the law.
		But if still you're afraid, The best thing that we recommend and what we've been doing with a lot of our parents is we're saying, hey, get together with a group and turn the form in as a group.
		But we hold your hand through every step of the process.
		We are here for you. We don't just hand you the form and say, okay, here you go, have fun.
		We're here for you. You can contact us through our website.
		You can find us on Facebook.
		You can find us on Instagram.
		I'm easily accessible.
		The whole organization is easily accessible because we want this to be a successful effort, and we truly care about the kids.
		We want long-term safety and privacy for all our kids.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		100%. And again, just like vaccines, you know, they're not going to tell you you can opt out.
		They're not going to say, sex ed coming up this year, and you don't have to do it if you don't want.
		They're going to tell you it's mandatory. They're going to tell you it's required.
		The truth is it's not.
		You can opt out. They're not going to tell you it, though.
		So go to greatschoolsinitiative.org to find out more.
		Monica Yutuma, thank you so much for joining us, and thank you for everything that you do.
		Really appreciate it, and it really sounds like a wonderful organization.
unidentified		Thank you, Harrison. Thank you so much for having me.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Thank you. We'll be right back, folks.
unidentified		Don't go anywhere. All right, folks.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Final segment of the American Journal.
		I believe I'll be going on the Alex Jones Show in about an hour to talk about El Salvador.
		So tune in to that in just a minute.
		But I want to try to cram a lot into this final segment about South Africa.
		So we'll start with the headline today.
		That was in our Daily Dispatch. South Africa faces civil war conditions due to possibility of power grid collapse.
		And tell me if this doesn't sound a bit like peering into a crystal ball and seeing our future.
		South Africa is on the verge of collapse amid rolling blackouts and warnings.
		A total power grid failure could lead to mass rioting on the scale of a civil war.
		South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa Declared a national state of disaster on February 9th in response to the record electricity shortage, which has seen state-owned power company Eskom Institute, they institute rolling blackouts, dubbed load shedding, lasting up to 12 hours at a time in some cases.
		The U.S. Embassy this month advised citizens to maintain 72 hours worth of supplies at home by stockpiling non-perishable foods, three liters of drinking water per person per day, and medicines and first aid supplies.
		This comes after the U.S. government last month warned its stakeholders in South Africa to prepare for a total collapse of the power grid.
		That reported by the My Broadband publication.
		They say one of the biggest dangers was the amount of time required to bring the system back online after a total collapse.
		Eskom estimates in the best-case scenario it would take six to 14 days to restart the power grid, the official said.
		There are a few feeder lines from other countries, but not enough to help with a black start situation.
		The official warned of mass looting and civil unrest if the grid collapsed, quoting an unnamed individual as saying, quote, what's left after a blackout would be what's left after a civil war.
		They're also seeing coordinated attacks on water.
		power, and communication infrastructure.
		Saying looting is no longer just a daily thing, but is now becoming more structured with guerrilla planning involved.
		Our roads no longer exist.
		Anything that is state run is crumbling.
		Police, fire, and hospital resources for the state don't exist and are slowly disintegrating.
		You can see, you know, evidence of this coming about here in America, as again, we seem to be increasingly incapable of merely keeping the lights on.
		It reminds me of the hack of the colonial pipeline earlier, was it 2020 or 2021, when the knowledge necessary to run it manually didn't exist anymore.
		We had to do everything digitally.
		And when those systems get hacked or go down, we actually don't even have the people with the knowledge and ability to operate it manually.
		So we have to rely on the electricity.
		And if that's not there, we don't have oil and we don't have power.
		I mean, we're seeing more and more signs of this, whether it's transportation disasters, you know, planes nearly running into each other on the tarmac.
		More and more, we are seeing the slow but inevitable decline of America in a very similar fashion to South Africa as the government has.
		Like in South Africa, turns its attention away from providing a safe, functional society into getting some sort of racial reparations or, you know, punishing the successful people for the benefit of the unsuccessful people in South Africa.
		And we could get into the whole history of South Africa.
		That's not what we're going to do here.
		But Zombieland on Twitter, at K9 underscore Reaper, has a thorough thread about how and why South Africa has collapsed.
		He's broken it into several different parts.
		He says, Part two is the wasteland.
		Our infrastructure is just short of completely obliterated.
		Infrastructure required for immediate and long-term access to life in general is either non-existent or hanging on by a string.
		It provides just a short list, such as sewage treatment works.
		More than half of them are online, and those that are working are not effective.
		Water processing works of the millions of...
		We have only an average of 64% access rate to fresh drinking water.
		The system is dying. Blackouts are making it worse.
		The electric grid, of course, that's what we were just discussing, the load shedding and the failure to merely keep the lights on.
		And if a full blackout happens, you've got 6 to 14 days of total blackout conditions in which crime can go unreported and your defense is up to yourself.
		And it goes on and on about all of this.
		And, you know, I always point to South Africa as being the method of collapse that we can expect.
		I think for a long time, a lot of the prepper sort of, you know, libertarian idea was like, we'll be prepared for when the collapse happens.
		And it's almost this fantasy of like, One day, everything's normal.
		The next day, everything's screwed.
		You've got to go Rambo mode and just fight for your survival.
		And that may very well happen.
		You've got EMPs that can be launched and wipe out electricity and put us in that sort of situation.
		Or a sunspot could hit us this moment.
		Almost. That could put us in the same situation.
		It's possible. It's possible.
		What's much more likely is the slow, inevitable degradation.
		The getting used to things just not quite working and waiting a little bit longer for things and stuff not being on, you know, store shelves and just everything getting a little bit worse, a little bit worse, a little bit worse.
		By the time, you know, the next generation is here, they don't even know that things are bad.
		They think it's always been like this.
		And of course, they're, you know, changing history to make people actually believe that.
		Let's talk about how they got to this point in South Africa.
		First of all, from the Times of, I believe this is New Zealand, half of South Africa's population are 100% dependent on state welfare.
	ANC leaders boast that that's a good thing.
	This is an article from January of this year.
	So half of South Africa's population 100% dependent on state welfare, which is...
	Pretty high. I think that's pretty high, according to me.
	But it's actually worse than that.
	1.7 million people pay 80% of South Africa's income tax.
	So in other words, roughly 3% of the population pays 80% of the income tax.
	50% of the population is 100% dependent on welfare.
	This is a welfare state...
	End stage, right?
	This is a late stage welfare state collapse that they're experiencing.
	It's only getting worse.
	No changes are being made.
	Those changes that are being made are only going to exacerbate the problem.
	But here's where we really need to look ahead and see what's in it for us.
	Like, what is life going to be like when we get to this level?
	Farm murders in South Africa got a lot of attention a few years ago.
	Less attention now, but they're still happening at an incredibly high rate.
	Conscious Karakal on Twitter at Khan Karakal says, Afroforum just released the farm murders and farm attacks statistics for last year, 2022.
	In 2022, you had 50 murders, 333 attacks.
	You had... An average of just about one attack or murder per day in the year of 2022.
	Just sort of astonishing numbers.
	And if you've watched Lauren Southern's documentary about this or have looked into this, I mean, these farm attacks are brutal beyond description.
	I don't want to get into some of the details of what's going on there.
	And of course, this is not.
	Covered by mainstream media.
	You do have alternative media covering this.
	VDARE keeps a sort of rolling list of farm attacks in South Africa.
	So you can just go month by month.
	South Africa farm attacks in November.
	Robbed, beaten, shot, murdered, bound with wire, tortured, strangled to death.
	Farm attacks in September.
	Eight dead. Others raped, stabbed, beaten with iron rods.
	I mean really just again brutal beyond description.
	I don't even want to get into it.
	But this is happening on...
	A daily basis. Literally a daily basis on average.
	Once a day this is happening.
	White people, farmers in South Africa are attacked by mobs, usually of black South Africans, who just torture, beat, ruin their lives.
	Really horrific stuff. Mainstream media doesn't cover it.
	What does the mainstream media cover?
	Well, the New York Times went out of their way to report on this.
	White men charged an attack on black teenagers at pool in South Africa.
	Two youths who tried to use a pool at a resort on Christmas Day said they were told it was for white people only.
	The violent encounter led to a charge of attempted murder and a call by the president to battle racism.
	So again, I don't want to make this a racial thing, but it's a racial thing.
	It's obviously a racial thing.
	And just know that It doesn't matter.
	If white people are the majority or the minority, if white people are the perpetrators or the victims, they're going to attack white people.
	They're going to continually keep a very close eye on every activity of white people and report even, you know, just conflicts like this.
	Nobody got murdered in this case, right?
	Some black kids were told they're not allowed to use a pool, and it becomes an international story that the mainstream media uses to gin up more hate against the We're good to go.
	Against white people when it comes to South Africa.
	So, you know, they might say, well, white people are the majority and we're looking out for the minority.
	Sure, for now. And when white people aren't the majority anymore, do you think they're going to stop covering things the way that they cover things?
	Or you can look at South Africa as an example of it doesn't matter how bad it gets.
	It doesn't matter what the population percentages are.
	White people are going to be attacked by their fellow human beings and by the media if they ever do anything wrong.
	That's a lesson we should learn. I do want to ask you to go to Infowarsstore.com.
	As you know, we have led the way in the charge against the New World Order and their biotechnocratic enslavement that they're bringing about the whole planet.
	We have redefined the discussion.
	When you go to somewhere like TPUSA now, they talk about defeating the New World Order and the globalists and the world economic forum and Klaus Schwab.
	That's the discussion on the conservative side of things, especially the younger side.
	That's because of Infowars, and that's because of you.
	Going to Infowarsstore.com.
	And we make it easy for you to do because we give you fantastic products such as the prebiotic fiber.
	It's our most advanced formula yet.
