You're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | |
| I can see in the aftermath of the crisis, people are very, very concerned about the United States' relationship with China. | ||
| There's, in other words, a second Bretton Woods. | ||
| But it's not on the cards yet, and I think this is where we have to work on the intellectual structure of such a deal. | ||
| And so, this is a breathtaking step. | ||
| Uh, which effectively nationalizes or federalizes the deposit base of the U.S. financial system. | ||
| Look, the bottom line is this. | ||
| Americans can rest assured that our banking system is safe. | ||
|

|
Mr. President, what do you know right now about why this happened? | |
| And can you assure Americans that there won't be a ripple effect? | ||
| Do you expect other banks to fail, Mr. | ||
| President? Should all depositors be protected at all banks? | ||
| What I do want to do is emphasize that the American banking system is really safe and well capitalized. | ||
| It's resilient. | ||
|

|
But I do agree. | |
| That the system is breaking it out. | ||
| And one of the major reasons, not the only reason obviously, but one of the major reasons is that you don't have good corporate leadership. | ||
| So you say, so what? But I'll tell you so what, if you don't have good corporate leadership in companies, when the tide is high and things are great, it doesn't matter. | ||
| And all these guys that run these companies are partying and having a good time and giving themselves bonuses. | ||
| I'm Scott Shea, chairman of Signature Bank, and it is a pleasure for me to welcome you to this multimedia, multicasted, multispacial meeting of the Pride Council. | ||
| CNN, ABC News, the BBC. They're like, it's over. | ||
| All the banks are collapsing. | ||
| Run for the hills. Bigger than 2008. | ||
| Don't worry, though. We've got central bank digital currencies there, and we're going to save you with these because they're going to have a new system. | ||
| They haven't told us yet, but you know it's central bank digital currency. | ||
| They've been prepping it. They've been getting it ready. | ||
| They are artificially locked down our houses, locked down our businesses, locked us down. | ||
| In the last few years, imploded the third world with two-plus years of lockdowns, they're now getting a new one ready, just cutting off liquidity in the market. | ||
| But the Federal Reserve has already raised interest rates five, six times last year. | ||
| If they don't cut them now, You know they're deliberately trying to put the economy into a cardiac arrest. | ||
| And the central private banks are not going to prop up the regional and local banks and credit unions so they all go down and they can bring in the central bank digital currencies, the centralized system that totally controls every fast of your life. | ||
| In fact, the controller of the currency nominee in the first year of the Biden administration literally proposed in an article from Vanderbilt that the beautiful thing about having CBDCs is if you're worried about inflation, you just freeze everybody's bank accounts. | ||
| The important thing to understand is central bank digital currencies are not currencies. | ||
| It's a financial transaction control grid. | ||
| They've got all the central bank digital currencies ready. | ||
| They've got the central currencies ready. | ||
| This is a historic moment, ending Bretton Woods, bringing in a global consortium run by the UN, run by the big central banks to bring in a new global set standard. | ||
| In international polls and national polls, Upwards of 90% of people don't trust the government and don't like it. | ||
| So this illegitimate system does not have the people's support. | ||
| It's a very strange time where I don't think people have a lot of faith right now in institutions. | ||
| So I think there's like a feeling of chaos that exists today that I don't think has ever existed in my life like this before. | ||
| See Pete Buttigieg and Kamala Harris and Biden can't get a sentence out. | ||
| You're like, this is madness. | ||
| These people are utter fools. | ||
| And these are the people that are running everything. | ||
| But why is that being done? | ||
| Because Kamala Harris and Barack Obama's third administration, or Biden, are puppets. | ||
| Fall guys. To take the fall, which I told you two-plus years ago. | ||
| Need to understand, our so-called elites are like an idiot robbing a gun store. | ||
| Starting a war, a kinetic war, a nuclear war is where it's going with Russia, is the equivalent of robbing a gun store at noon when you've got five employees armed who are trained retired police officers. | ||

You're dead. It's Friday, March 17th, 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. | ||
| Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Welcome to The American Journal. | ||
| Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone. | ||
| I hope everyone's wearing green. | ||
| If you're not, I hope you get pinched. | ||
| That's how I feel about it. Yes, folks, we started out the show today with talk of the banking collapse, the designed collapse, and what will come from it. | ||
| We have more information in that regard. | ||
| Really, just, truly, they've pushed the button, folks. | ||
| They have activated the final countdown. | ||
| And we'll talk about what that looks like and what we can do in some way to mitigate or overthrow this collapse. | ||
| Perverted system. Lots of stuff in that regard to talk about. | ||
| We'll be joined by Michael Graves in studio at 10 a.m. | ||
| And we also are going to spend quite a bit of time on the international scene today as we, again, look at the warning signs that World War III is just around the corner. | ||
| Taking your calls, of course, as well. | ||
| Should be a very, very full Friday episode. | ||
| Let's begin, as we always do, with our Daily Dispatch. | ||
| All right, here it is, folks, your Daily Dispatch for Friday, the 17th of March, 2023. | ||
| Protests erupt in France over Macron's retirement age push. | ||
| Protests against French President Emmanuel Macron's decision to force a bill raising the retirement age from 62 to 64 through Parliament without a vote disrupted traffic, garbage collection, and university campuses in Paris as opponents of the change maintained their resolve to get the government to back down. | ||
| Striking sanitation workers blocked a waste collection plant that's home to Europe's largest incinerator to underline their determination, and university students walked out of lecture halls to join the strike. | ||
| Leaders of the influential CGT union called on people to leave schools, factories, refineries and other workplaces. | ||
| Union leaders were not the only ones angry about Macron's plan to make French citizens work for two more years before becoming eligible to collect full pensions. | ||
| Opposition parties were expected to start procedures later Friday for a no-confidence vote on the government led by Prime Minister Elizabeth Bourne. | ||
| The vote would likely take place early next week. | ||
| Just, I mean, you know, we just keep saying the same thing about this. | ||
| There is, this is not democracy. | ||
| This is not what democracy is, right? | ||
| This was a fiat dictatorial action. | ||
| And we'll get into sort of how Macron did this. | ||
| But he essentially made himself a dictator in order to pass this law, raising the retirement age by two years. | ||
| Which again, just like happened in Sweden, just like is happening in Ireland, just like has happened in almost every European country over the last five or six years. | ||
| They bring in millions upon millions of migrants under the excuse of, we need them to keep the economy going. | ||
| We need them to make Social Security, their version of it, solvent. | ||
| All of our workers are aging out. | ||
| People aren't having enough kids, so there's not enough people to... | ||
| You know, make up for the Ponzi scheme of Social Security. | ||
| So we have to bring in millions of other people. | ||
| Oh, look, they all went on welfare. | ||
| Now you can't retire. | ||
| You have to work for two more years to pay for all the migrants we brought. | ||
| You bring in migrants to pay for people's retirement, but then people can't retire because of all the migrants. | ||
| This is retarded. | ||
| Do you understand? This is on purpose. | ||
| This is by design. | ||
| This is the obvious outcome of their despicable policies. | ||
| It's just completely insane. | ||
| But the protests are massive. | ||
| We'll show you videos of them a little bit later. | ||
| Meanwhile, China's Xi Jinping to meet Putin next week in the first visit to Russia since the invasion of Ukraine. | ||
| So this was just announced. | ||
| He will fly to Moscow. Xi Jinping will fly to Moscow next week to meet with President Vladimir Putin in his first visit to Russia since Putin launched the devastating invasion of Ukraine more than a year ago. | ||
| The visit will be seen as a powerful show of Beijing's support for Moscow and Western capitals, where leaders have grown increasingly wary of the two nations' deepening partnership as the war rages in Europe. | ||
| Increasingly wary. We're just, you know, just... | ||
| We could have just not started the war. | ||
| You know, we could have just not pushed for and created the atmosphere for the Ukraine war to start in the first place. | ||
| We could have done that. | ||
| We could have called for peace at any point. | ||
| The people in charge are not worrying about China cozying up to Russia. | ||
| They are encouraging it. | ||
| That is the plan. As we speak, our army is training to go to war in Ukraine. | ||
| They'll likely be boots on the ground by this time next year. | ||
| And that's World War III. That's what they're preparing for. | ||
| All the signs point to it. | ||
| All the evidence is stacked in that direction. | ||
| The people in power in this country and around the Western world are pushing for World War III. They're not doing what they can to avoid it. | ||
| They're doing everything they can to bring it about. | ||
| Are they stupid? No. | ||
| So they're evil. Okay? | ||
| That's the answer. That is the answer. | ||
| Point blank. Meanwhile, Homeland Republicans to turn up the heat on Mayorkas after a Border Patrol chief's earth-shattering testimony. | ||
| I gotta say, headlines like this, man. | ||
| Really? Oh, they're gonna turn up the heat on Mayorkas. | ||
| Right? Right? Of course, he's not being boiled or cooked. | ||
| He's in a hot tub. They're making it a little bit hotter for him. | ||
| A little bit more comfortable in his hot... | ||
| Like, this dude has opened the border and brought in more illegal immigrants in two years than the entire population of Chicago, Illinois. | ||
| Like... Oh, you're going to turn up the heat on him, are you? | ||
| Oh, I bet he's real scared now. | ||
| He's real scared now. | ||
| It's like, what are you going to do? | ||
| Are you going to impeach him? | ||
| Are you going to imprison him? | ||
| Are you going to charge him with treason and execute him? | ||
| No? Okay. Then he's going to get away with it? | ||
| So he's going to keep doing it? | ||
| Oh, so the invasion of our country just keeps going? | ||
| Wide open border? Earth-shattering testimony. | ||
| Just mentioning what we've watched with our own eyes every day for two years. | ||
| No operational control? | ||
| What? I don't know. | ||
| How about all of this happening constantly forever? | ||
| Republicans are just like, are you telling me? | ||
| Are you telling me the border is open? | ||
| It's such a show. | ||
| It's such a ridiculous caricature of a government that we operate under. | ||
| It's totally unacceptable. | ||
| But it's happening. | ||
| And nobody's doing anything to stop it. | ||
| Meanwhile, nuclear power plant leaks 400,000 gallons of radioactive water. | ||
| That's nice. Minnesota regulators said Thursday that they're monitoring the cleanup of a leak of 400,000 gallons of radioactive water from Excel's Energy Monticello nuclear power plant. | ||
| The company said there's no danger to the public. | ||
| Unless you like water. | ||
| I mean, unless you're like some sort of organic mass that... | ||
| Reacts to radiation. | ||
| But other than that, no danger at all. | ||
| No danger at all. | ||
| Just one of those minor leaks of 400,000 gallons of radioactive water. | ||
| We'll get more into this a little bit later. | ||
| But it's fine. | ||
| But it's totally fine. | ||
| XL Energy took swift action to contain the leak to the plant site, which poses no health and safety risk to the local community or the environment. | ||
| The Minneapolis-based utility lied in a statement. | ||
| I don't know. Maybe it's true. | ||
| Maybe it's true. Maybe 400,000 gallons of radioactive water leaking into the... | ||
| Maybe that's fine. | ||
| I don't know. I'm not a nuclear engineer. | ||
| Maybe it's good. Maybe it's a good thing that it happened. | ||
| Maybe we should be thanking them for this. | ||
| Or maybe it's just another step down the inevitable decline. | ||
| Maybe it's just another catastrophe to plot the downfall of this country as a first world nation that can handle complicated technologies like airplanes and energy. | ||
| This is just our... | ||
| Our downward slope towards the morass of chaos, stupidity, but very diverse. | ||
| But it'll be very diverse, folks. | ||
| Don't worry. Don't worry. | ||
| You won't be able to drink the water. | ||
| You won't be able to turn the lights on. | ||
| But boy, will it look like a rainbow. | ||
| And finally, we have this story just as the... | ||
| Piece of resistance. MindGeek, the parent company of Pornhub, the world's largest pornography site, and other adult entertainment platforms, was acquired by a Canadian private equity firm called Ethical Capital Partners. | ||
| Ethical Capital Partners has purchased the world's largest network of porn. | ||
| Monetized sin. | ||
| Isn't that nice? | ||
| See, it's a new ethical framework that we're working in where there is literally nothing off of the table at all except for like... | ||
| You know, being racist or anti-Semitic. | ||
| But other than that, it's just across the board, ethics, morals, they're whatever you want. | ||
| You can do whatever you want to whoever you want as long as you, you know, don't talk about minorities in a bad way. | ||
| That's the only sin, you guys. | ||
| That's the only sin there is. The only thing that'll be punished from now on. | ||
| It's ethical. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| This is the American Journal, Infowars.com. | ||
| Infowarsstore.com is where you go to support us. | ||
| And, you know, the success of N4 is obviously totally unparalleled in the realm of alternative media, setting the stage for so many others to follow after us in our mold, and altering the course of human history as we've changed the tenor and topic of what is discussed, the highest levels of politics these days. | ||
| It's now about humanity versus globalists, and more and more people are coming around to that realization. | ||
| But it's not because we've been lucky. | ||
| It's not because we've been guessing randomly and happening to be right 100% of the time. | ||
| What are the odds of that, right? No, it's because all of this stuff was planned a long time ago and they talk about it. | ||
| The people who are doing it, for a while, they thought they had total... | ||
| Anonymity, basically, total immunity to exposure because they controlled all of the media outlets. | ||
| So they felt free to discuss this with one another, publish white papers and talk about it in their weird little cabal meetings. | ||
| But then Alex Jones broke it all down and just showed you the map forward, showed you the data plot that they were working on and where it trended. | ||
| And so that's why, you know, when it came time for the COVID release, not only did we know that the vaccine would be the point of all of it and that it would be mandated and that et cetera, et cetera. | ||
| Like we knew all of that, obviously, from way on way back. | ||
| But we also knew that COVID itself was just part of a larger program that would use the medical tyranny, the biotechnocratic lockdown, 15 minutes, say like all of that we're well aware of. | ||
| But primarily it's centered around the financial industry, the banking industry. | ||
| It all goes back to the big banks, international banks and the Federal Reserve, and the banks bigger than the Federal Reserve, like the IMF and the BIS and all those. | ||
| And so we're now seeing the next step of the plan, the next stage in the takeover be initiated. | ||
| And this video I'm about to show you is probably the most important video we've seen in years as they are now coming public with the rollout of their intentions. | ||
| As we said, the Great Reset should more accurately be called the Great Consolidation as the ability of small businesses and independent operators becomes increasingly more difficult. | ||
| And purchasing power and social power is consolidated into the hands of a very few. | ||
| So we'll break this down and what it means for you on the other side, but I'm going to go to this full video. | ||
| I titled it simply The Banking Plan, and it's Janet Yellen, former head of the Fed, current head of the Treasury, and Really being exposed, and you can see she doesn't quite have the answers on hand to make this seem innocent. | ||
| She's sort of caught out here and brilliant questioning by this representative. | ||
| Here's Janet Yellen explaining how all of the banks will now be consolidated into just a few major banks, which will make it that much easier to debank you in the Mark of the Beast system. | ||
| So here is Janet Yellen being questioned and the next stage of the plan being enacted. | ||
| Let's watch. I don't have time. | ||
| I need to be able to drill on a couple things. | ||
| Let me start with some of the banking issues we're dealing with on it. | ||
| Will the deposits in every community bank in Oklahoma, regardless of their size, be fully insured now? | ||
| Are they fully recovered? | ||
| Every bank, every community bank in Oklahoma, regardless of the size of the deposit, will they get the same treatment that SVBP just got or Signature Bank just got? | ||
| A bank only gets that Treatment if a majority of the FDIC board, a supermajority, a supermajority of the Fed board, and I, in consultation with the president, determine that the failure to Protect uninsured depositors would create systemic risk and significant economic and financial consequences. | ||
| So what is your plan to keep large depositors from moving their funds out of community banks into the big banks? | ||
| We have seen the mergers of banks over the past decade I'm concerned you're about to accelerate that by encouraging anyone who has a large deposit in a community bank to say, we're not going to make you whole, but if you go to one of our preferred banks, we will make you whole at that point. | ||
| Look, I mean, that's certainly not something that we're encouraging. | ||
| That is happening right now. | ||
| That is happening because depositors are concerned about the bank failures that have happened and whether or not other banks could also fail. | ||
| No, it's happening because you're fully insured no matter what the amount is. | ||
| If you're in a big bank, you're not fully insured if you're in a community bank. | ||
| Well, you're not fully insured. | ||
| You were at signature, and it just barely met that threshold. | ||
| You were at signature. Well, we felt that there was a serious risk Of contagion that could have brought down and triggered runs on many banks. | ||
| And that's something, given that our judgment is that the banking system overall is safe and sound. | ||
| Depositors should have confidence in the system, and we took these actions— So there's a special assessment that's been done on community banks in my state and all banks across the country. | ||
| Was there any discussion that that special assessment would only apply to the larger banks, or was it always assumed the special assessment would cover every bank, including rural banks in my state? | ||
| I'm not certain what the rules are around that. | ||
| That's for the FDIC to determine. | ||
| It has been reported publicly that SVB had a large number of Chinese investors that are there, including some that were companies directly connected to the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Will those individuals, companies, entities, and investors that are Chinese investors be made whole based on assessments in my banks in Oklahoma? | ||
| So what I'm asking is, will my banks in Oklahoma pay a special assessment to be able to make Chinese investors whole from Silicon Valley Bank? | ||
| Uninsured investors will be made whole in that bank, and I suppose that could include Foreign depositors, but I don't believe there's any legal basis to discriminate among uninsured depositors. | ||
| I get it, but I'm just saying my community banks are going to pay this additional fee. | ||
| It is always fascinating to me, as well, the conversation that taxpayers are being made whole in this, that taxpayers are not going to have any kind of consequence on this. | ||
| I'm sure my bankers are going to be very excited to know they no longer pay taxes. | ||
| And their banks no longer pay taxes. | ||
| Credit unions don't pay taxes. | ||
| Banks do. And so they're definitely taxpayers as well. | ||
| And all banks make their revenue off of Rates and fees and such to their account holders, which means every Oklahoman will pay higher fees in their community bank. | ||
| If we have a collapse of the banking system and its economic consequences, that will have very severe effects on banks in Oklahoma that will also be threatened. | ||
| I'm just worried about the long-term consequences on our banks as well. | ||
| We're not going to get all senators in. | ||
| Senator Cortez Masta. Thank you, Mr. | ||
| So there it was. That was Janet Yellen basically being confronted with the fact that their actions are seemingly designed explicitly to force the shutdown of mid-sized banks and force everybody into just a few large banks. | ||
| Social credit score is just around the corner, folks. | ||
| All right, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| We're talking about the economic takeover of the world right now. | ||
| That's exactly what it is. | ||
| It's nothing less than that. We have a lot of other stuff to talk about as well, but at least for this segment. | ||
| Let's keep talking about what's happening with the banks. | ||
| Do I have any of the bank stuff here? | ||
| We'll go to it on the computer. | ||
| Okay. I'm going to try to explain this. | ||
| So we know from things like the lockstep document and any other piece of paper ever produced by things like the Rockefeller Foundation or just any of these globalist organizations. | ||
| They consider in no uncertain terms centralization to be key. | ||
| The more centralized something is, the bigger something is, the more they like it. | ||
| Like, that's their whole goal, is they don't like the idea. | ||
| Like, a bunch of little community banks all operating with their own customers, taking their own policies, making their own decisions. | ||
| Everything's small-scale, independent. | ||
| That's not easily controllable. | ||
| What's easily controllable is one giant bank that serves everybody with unilateral, you know, unaccountable decisions. | ||
| That's so big it can't fail and you have to bail it out every time. | ||
| So in that statement from Janet Yellen, well, in the questioning, first of all, the congressman says, you know, we've seen a lot of mergers over the last few years. | ||
| It's really been a trend that's been going on for a very long time. | ||
| And it's not just banks either, right? | ||
| Massive consolidations and mergers of pharmaceutical companies and chemical companies and banks and manufacturing. | ||
| And, of course, Amazon has taken over all of the retail stores, which, of course, also has to do with the opening up of crime and not punishing people for shoplifting. | ||
| We even have a story today of a major Target store shutting down, right? | ||
| Walmart's not in Portland anymore, like anywhere these... | ||
| So, like, this is the world they're building for you. | ||
| There's not going to be stores. There's going to be warehouses. | ||
| There's not going to be cashiers. | ||
| There's going to be robots. There's not going to be human beings. | ||
| There's going to be a system. | ||
| And it's all about the system. | ||
| So Janet Yellen, continuously throughout... | ||
| It's talking about they need to trust the system and to keep the system running. | ||
| The system, the system, the system. | ||
| Well, the system is broken. | ||
| It's flawed. It's purposefully designed to bring about this outcome. | ||
| And so when you look at the Path that we've taken to get here. | ||
| You have, even prior to the COVID outbreak, you have the Fed mentioning the headline. | ||
| I'm literally the only person I've ever seen mention this headline. | ||
| I don't know how, where it says, short of cooing like a dove, the Fed is doing everything it can to bring about inflation, right? | ||
| So there was an inflation. | ||
| The Fed said, we need inflation. | ||
| So they enacted policies to bring about inflation. | ||
| Then you had COVID hit, and you had the forcible shutdown of the entire world's economy, which of course hit primarily the small businesses while massively enriching the biggest companies. | ||
| You saw a wholesale transfer of wealth from the middle class and the lower classes to the top 1% in the tune of multiple trillions of dollars over a couple years. | ||
| And again, the mainstream media won't connect the dots, but they will publish two different headlines. | ||
| One will say the middle class lost $2 trillion over the last two years, and the other will say billionaires made $2 trillion over the last two years, and they don't find a coincidence in that. | ||
| They don't find that to be suspicious in any way when it's the very same people benefiting from it who are the ones that forced these policies in the first place. | ||
| So in addition to that, you have the massive and immediate expansion of the welfare state, In just the most insane circumstances you've ever seen, where I know personally, having friends that were like, yeah, I quit my job because of the COVID stimulus. | ||
| I get more money not working than working. | ||
| Multiply that by many, many millions of people. | ||
| Thank you. You have the crisis that we're in right now. | ||
| SL Canthon on Twitter, at Canthon2030, says, The U.S. Federal Reserve just printed $300 billion out of thin air last week to bail out the banks. | ||
| What a joke in voodoo economics. | ||
| This is not free market or even capitalism. | ||
| If developing nations want $300 billion, they have to sell their sovereignty to the IMF and the World Bank. | ||
| And you can see the assets. | ||
| This is total assets climbing and then falling and then a massive spike right here at the end. | ||
| Right, this is to bail out the banks. | ||
| So you've got the Fed creating the inflation crisis. | ||
| Then while the inflation crisis gets going and food prices are doubling and people are having to dip into their retirement accounts just to pay their rent, You have the Fed refusing to do anything to mitigate it whatsoever and saying, yeah, it's temporary. | ||
| It'll be over soon. | ||
| Okay, it might be permanent, but that's actually a good thing. | ||
| Just doing everything they can to tighten the noose around the neck of the average American bank account holder. | ||
| Everything's just that much more expensive. | ||
| Your savings are drying up headline after headline saying people are dipping into their savings. | ||
| Savings are the lowest point ever. | ||
| Nobody has $1,000 in savings anymore. | ||
| And this is the point because they want everybody to be on credit. | ||
| Savings is incompatible with that. | ||
| But then you have this from Gateway Pundit. | ||
| Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen admits Joe Biden's inflation crisis is linked to the banking crisis. | ||
| Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Thursday testified before the Senate Finance Committee. | ||
| Those are the videos that we just watched. | ||
| She's also grilled about Silicon Valley's bank failure, shuttered last Friday when it was unable to produce enough cash for depositors. | ||
| Yellen admitted that Biden's inflation crisis ultimately led to the banking crisis, saying, quote, my understanding is that the bank to meet liquidity needs had to sell assets that it expected to hold to maturity. | ||
| And given that the interest rate increases that have occurred since those assets, including treasuries and government backed mortgage backed securities, they had lost their market value. | ||
| Yellen said. | ||
| Joe Biden and Democrats in Congress created the inflation crisis by spending more than three trillion dollars in a couple of year. | ||
| Inflations hit 40 year highs because of Joe Biden and hit them over and over and over again. | ||
| Enter the Federal Reserve. | ||
| Federal Reserve Chairman Jeremy Powell raised rates seven times in 2022 for a total of 450 basis points or a 4.5 percent to hedge inflation. | ||
| The sudden and dramatic rate heights crushed Silicon Valley Bank. | ||
| Jeremy Powell knew exactly what he was doing. | ||
| Silicon Bank Silicon Valley Bank reportedly held one hundred and seventy three billion dollars in deposits. | ||
| It's the Fed interest rate. | ||
| Is at 4.57% and $117 billion of Silicon Valley's bank deposits were in mortgage-backed securities and were only yielding 1.5 to 1.66%. | ||
| That caused a run on the bank. | ||
| By Friday, Silicon Valley Bank was in FDIC receivership. | ||
| Every single SVB depositor was bailed out by the Biden regime. | ||
| And here you can just see, again, just this chart of annual change in consumer price index. | ||
| And you can see the massive spike as soon as COVID hits. | ||
| So COVID played into this, as well as the Fed's programs causing the bank to become insolvent. | ||
| And they used that excuse to bail it out now, as you just heard in that video. | ||
| Large depositors, which are the lifeblood of the banks, are moving out of the mid-sized banks and into the large ones because when they're in the large ones, they are guaranteed their money is backed by the government. | ||
| But if they're in a small bank, it's not. | ||
| Now, how this plays into the wider Great Reset is pretty obvious, actually, as it's much easier for large centralized banks to exercise control over anybody who they would want to cut off from the ability to purchase things. | ||
| So combine this with this other story from the Gateway Pundit, story on Infowars.com as well. | ||
| Federal Reserve will release FedNow payment services in July. | ||
| As the banking system begins to collapse, the Federal Reserve is launching its FedNow program in July. | ||
| The United States Federal Reserve announced Wednesday it will roll out FedNow, its long-awaited instant payment system in July. | ||
| The FedNow service will be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year for instant bill payments, money transfers, including paychecks and disbursements from the government. | ||
| The system does not rely on blockchain technology and is operated by a consortium of large banks. | ||
| The Fed will begin the formal certifications of participants during the first week of April in preparation for the July launch. | ||
| First week of April, the Federal Reserve will begin formal certification of participants for launch of the service. | ||
| Early adopters will complete a customer testing and certification program informed by feedback from the FedNow pilot program to prepare for sending live transactions through the system. | ||
| The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System announced in a statement issued on Wednesday. | ||
| It's Liberty Lockdown with Glenn Russell. | ||
| He just has a great way of putting this stuff. | ||
| He says, let me explain. They will insure deposits of any amount, only in banks that they deem systemically important. | ||
| You know, what was the phrase they use? | ||
| In COVID, in necessary workers, important workers. | ||
|

|
All right, welcome back, folks. | |
| Again, we'll try to explain what exactly is going on here. | ||
| There's like a way of talking these people have. | ||
| I don't get how people fall for it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't get how people fall for it. | |
| If they talk calmly and... | ||
| As if they know what they're talking about and as if all of the consequences of their actions are actually just things that are happening that nobody has control over. | ||
| Then people just assume that like, well, the system is working as intended. | ||
| People in charge know what they're doing and I might not understand, but I better just shut up and trust them. | ||
| I don't get how they've convinced everybody to think that way. | ||
| But look at all of these people with just the most amount of suspicion that you possibly can. | ||
| I mean, just like with COVID and Anthony Fauci and all these things... | ||
| I don't know how they activate the trust, like they press the trust button in your head, and you just trust people who have never done anything trustworthy in their lives. | ||
| They've never proven to you that they are the slightest bit trustworthy at all, and yet people will fight you over Anthony Fauci. | ||
| And it's like, is he your uncle? | ||
| What is this loyalty you have to him and his perverted, corrupt, total failure of a system? | ||
| It's very bizarre. It's very strange. | ||
| So I really want to try to explain this as if we're talking to a five-year-old or something. | ||
| Like a liberal. Like a five-year-old or a liberal. | ||
| Something like that. Because none of this is complicated. | ||
| None of it's outside of the realm of understanding for normal people. | ||
| Maybe there's an aspect of just fear that if this is true, then... | ||
| That's too big of a thing to even comprehend for most people. | ||
| But it's like, I mean, we are under attack. | ||
| Humanity is under concerted, unified attack on every level. | ||
| Ignoring it does not mean you're not under attack anymore. | ||
| Not paying attention to it doesn't mean it goes away. | ||
| And it's so bizarre because you talk to normal people on the street or whatever and they have all these complaints that are all just the repercussions of what these people are doing and yet they can't seem to make that connection. | ||
| Just like, I don't, it's so bizarre. | ||
| It's so strange. But again, we watched that video and just to boil it down, I gotta give credit to Clint Russell again from Liberty Lockdown. | ||
| Explains it like this. He says, they're going to insure deposits of any amount, but only in banks that they deem systemically important or essential was the word I was looking for last time. | ||
| Thank you, crew. Within a decade, there will be no small or mid-sized banks. | ||
| Limited options will make pressuring the banks to unbank you easy as can be. | ||
| Social credit score is incoming. | ||
| So you've got Like, all these various vectors coinciding, combining, intersecting to bring about what we know they've wanted for the last several decades, which is the mark of the beast. | ||
| I mean, literally, it is as described in the book of Revelations. | ||
| It will be a biometric tag of some sort, maybe a chip under your skin. | ||
| That will be inextricably tied to you as a person, your DNA map, your iris, your fingerprint. | ||
| It won't be a number that you have with an account that's tagged to you. | ||
| It'll be you yourself. | ||
| You are the account holder. | ||
| It's permanent, inextricable from you yourself. | ||
| It'll be all in one centralized government bank, one centralized super bank. | ||
| That they can cut you off for anything, any reason that they deem. | ||
| And look at the way the government has been behaving over the last several years. | ||
| And they aren't going to debank murderers or rapists or child traffickers or cartel members. | ||
| Now, they'll be protected. | ||
| They'll be allowed to continue their operations. | ||
| And the people at the very top will be able to completely flout any laws or restrictions that may be placed on anybody else. | ||
| But you, if you speak up against them, if you say you don't like this system that they're implementing, well, good luck getting food then. | ||
| And of course, the food systems are also being centralized as we speak. | ||
| It's not a coincidence that the very same time that they're forcibly shutting down 3,000 farms in the Netherlands, the second biggest food exporter in the world, they're also shutting down mid-sized banks in America, which is the Reserve currency and the central banking capital of the world. | ||
| They're shutting down the independent organizations. | ||
| They're centralizing all of them so that they can have pyramid-like control over all of them. | ||
| It's very simple. | ||
| They're eliminating one by one all of the ways for us to be independent of them. | ||
| And they're doing it through creating and exacerbating crises. | ||
| And using the fear to override people's logical capabilities and impose this on them without too much trouble from them, while simultaneously staging a false flag riot, calling it domestic terrorism, and a coup, and arresting all of the leaders that have been pointing this out and trying to stand up against it for the last several years. | ||
| All of this is just part of one big plan. | ||
| We've been laying it out the entire time, and it's all just coming to fruition. | ||
| So you've got the COVID leak slash release that was caused by the gain-of-function program. | ||
| So they do gain-of-function that causes the COVID outbreak. | ||
| They silence people talking about it, call you racist for mentioning that's happening in China, allow it to spread all over the world. | ||
| Then they do the economic lockdown, which shuts down the economy. | ||
| Then they print billions and trillions of dollars, consolidate all of the corporations through the economic lockdown. | ||
| Then they get the vaccine to get you on board with the biometric vaccine passport, your health belongs to us mentality that would have been rejected outright at the beginning of the pandemic. | ||
| But by the time they'd softened the area for landing over that year of mental attack, people were ready and willing and eager to accept this biotechnocratic tyranny. | ||
| And then you get inflation caused because of the economic lockdown, the inflation causing banks to crash because the banks crash. | ||
| They start doing bailouts because you can't bail out everybody all the time. | ||
| You only can choose certain banks to do it. | ||
| So you centralize the banks even further, and you release at the same time a central bank digital currency. | ||
| I mean – Gain of function, COVID, economic lockdown, inflation, bank crash, centralization, digital coin, biometric surveillance. | ||
| I mean, it's just one way. | ||
| I don't know how people don't get this. | ||
| And I don't know how people are okay with that being the outcome. | ||
| I really do try to get in the mindset of people that are just watching this unfold and they're just like, good thing we've got the professionals back in town. | ||
| Good to go. I was scared there was going to be a bank run, but now it's okay because I'm just a slave and a giant machine. | ||
| It's just like, what are you talking about? | ||
| None of this is necessary. | ||
| The system is not even necessarily failing in a typical, like what you would think of when you think of a system failing. | ||
| It's that the system itself is programmed to fail in certain regards because the failure of the system justifies the expansion and Complication of the system. | ||
| It's a problem, reaction, solution. | ||
| It really is not that complicated. | ||
| It is that sophisticated. | ||
| It is that multivaried and multifaceted. | ||
| And it's happening at the same time that the consolidation and unnaturalization of food is happening, right? | ||
| They don't want family farms. | ||
| They don't want independent, small-scale banks. | ||
| They don't want media, you know, independent media, like all the attacks on all of these things are happening simultaneously because they're all battles on the same front as the enemy marches forward to take everything you own and everything that you've ever built. | ||
| While they are simultaneously indoctrinating you and your children into mental illness and physical illness that will require constant medical attention, which of course enriches their friends in the medical industrial complex, which is a key aspect of which of course enriches their friends in the medical industrial complex, which is a key aspect And also makes you incapable of actually physically standing up to them when the time comes that it gets physical. | ||
| Oh, and also they're starting a giant war to accelerate all of this because war would do nothing but accelerate all of this. | ||
| It would provide the perfect excuse for not just the ultimate goal of depopulation, but all of the consolidation, the rationing, the limitation of goods as well. | ||
| They're already rationing goods in places like England and Germany because of the war in Ukraine. | ||
| A war that, again, we completely started. | ||
| So you look at who runs America. | ||
| It's the banks. | ||
| It's a shadow government of international elites. | ||
| They coordinate through the World Economic Forum and a number of others, but they're working across the board, pushing all of these fronts to enslave all of humanity in a prison planet, biotechnocratic panopticon system of which there is no escape and for which your very existence, you will need their permission. | ||
|

|
All right, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | |
| Welcome to the World Economic Forum. | ||
| We'll be joined by Michael Graves at the 10 o'clock hour. | ||
| And we're going to open up phone calls this hour and probably take calls throughout his visit to us here in studio. | ||
| And there's a lot of other stuff to talk about before we do that, and I just want to finish up here with what's going on with the overarching theme of what's happening, because there's another aspect that I haven't even mentioned, and that is the so-called climate change program. | ||
| Which is just sort of the excuse that they're using to do a bunch of stuff that they wanted to do anyway. | ||
| And they have people actually believing that the carbon that they are made out of and the trees, carbon dioxide, the trees breathe and need to live and that every plant relies on is actually poison, poisoning the earth. | ||
| It's the most insane psyop the world has ever seen. | ||
| But all of these, again, are different aspects of this fractal conspiracy. | ||
| So the FedNow service that they're going to start enlisting people in in April and will go live in July is, of course, just a prelude to central bank digital currency. | ||
| That will mean that money as a technology will be divorced more than ever from any semblance of reality or physical existence. | ||
| Moved away from the gold standard and we moved away from basically anything else. | ||
| I mean, maybe the dollar will crash and they'll use that as an excuse to bring in digital currency. | ||
| Maybe they'll just do a swap. That's what Max Keiser thinks. | ||
| He's the Bitcoin specialist that's advising Bitcoin. | ||
| President Bukele in El Salvador. | ||
| He says it'll be a lot like when they came up with the euro. | ||
| It'll just be one day, your bank will be frozen for about a day, and when you come back, your dollar will be a digital dollar, and you'll actually get rewarded, and you'll get a bonus for participating in this. | ||
| Of course, it won't be an option. | ||
| You'll have to. And they're rolling all this out. | ||
| So the new FedNow service... | ||
| Will, uh, is creating, uh, is a leading edge payment system that is resilient, adaptive, and accessible. | ||
| Remember, those are the exact words that they use to describe, uh, major corporate combines in the lockstep document, right? | ||
| They grade things, they grade things on a, uh, on a scale, on a chart, and one of the variables of it, independent variables would be, uh, Adaptiveness and resilience. | ||
| So, again, they're sort of signaling to themselves, right? | ||
| They want things to be adaptive and resilient, which means centralized and, yeah, see, adaptive capacity. | ||
| And that means resilience, basically. | ||
| So, again, that's what they want. | ||
| Is everything centralized because they believe that And you saw it during COVID. It was a lot easier for them to get Walmart through their corporate structure to impose masks on everybody than trying to get a whole bunch of little stores to do it themselves. | ||
| It's harder to control a little independent organization. | ||
| It's much easier if you have one massive corporate structure and you're at the top. | ||
| Very easy at that point. | ||
| But of course, all of this is having to do with getting people ready for and laying the groundwork for the digital identity. | ||
| People will have to prove their identity digitally to access their accounts, contends tax attorney and financial advisor Rebecca Walser with the implementation of this FedNow program. | ||
| You cannot go digital currency without trusted digital verification, Walzer argued in a recent interview. | ||
| Therefore, everyone will have to get a digital ID. It will be really interesting to see how people play this when they've said all along that many people in the country don't have the ability, too much of a burden, to get an ID. Now everyone just to get an account is going to have to not just get a digital ID, you're going to have to confirm your digital ID through government documents. | ||
| Globalists are using COVID and climate change as a pretext to implement 15-minute cities, Agenda 2030, digital ID, and rationing. | ||
| Similarly, the banking collapse will provide a mechanism for Big Brother to lock you out of your money and food until you participate in the digital identity system. | ||
| And, of course, in concert with this and in cooperation with this is the necessary component of the psychological operation being done against people to get them ready for the... | ||
| To be able to heartlessly accept that their fellow human beings are being denied medical access or medical care or access to food or being able to live by, you know, giving them a bad social credit score. | ||
| That was one of the main aspects of the pandemic, was getting people to go, oh, you didn't get the vaccine? | ||
| Then you don't deserve to get a heart transplant. | ||
| You're going to die now because you didn't get the vaccine. | ||
| All of this plays into it. | ||
| Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| We're getting down to the wire here for humanity and race for existence. | ||
| It is truly wild. | ||
| And, you know, I can't help but think, like, it's not our purpose here at InfoWars to simply track the decline. | ||
| As if it's inevitable. | ||
| As if any of this is necessary and impossible to avoid. | ||
| The point I would like to get across here is that these are human beings that are doing this. | ||
| They're people with names, positions. | ||
| Many of them are in public. | ||
| Some of them are hidden, you know, in secret. | ||
| But it's not that hard to find out who they are. | ||
| And all this is choices being made by these people in power. | ||
| And as much as they have a stranglehold on and ability to corrupt the electoral system in this country, it does still exist. | ||
| And they still are having to play this game because, again, they're just human beings. | ||
| They're not magical. They're not gods. | ||
| They're not above us in any way whatsoever. | ||
| They still have to contend with human will. | ||
| They still have to react to the actions of the people around them. | ||
| And so it's frustrating constantly feeling like We're just constantly being bombarded, and just when we seem to get a handle on it, just when we get our shield up to block the bombardment from one cannon, another one just pops up out of nowhere and starts hitting us from the other side, right? We're dealing with the Ukraine war, we're dealing with the lockdown stuff, the fallout from COVID, the vaccine deaths, all this crazy crap is going on, and then it's like, oh, by the way, run on the banks, and we're consolidating all the banks and digital currency and digital ID, go. | ||
| You know, it's just like, okay... How do we handle all this? | ||
| And the problem isn't that, you know, we're stuck. | ||
| The problem is that we are constantly reacting. | ||
| The problem is that whoever has the initiative is almost guaranteed the victory. | ||
| And so if we're constantly reacting to this stuff, we're just playing a losing game. | ||
| We're just delaying the inevitable. | ||
| At least I want you to think it's inevitable. | ||
| It's actually not inevitable, but it takes organization, it takes power, which takes political victory, and all you have to do is look at the election of Donald Trump to see what that looks like. | ||
| Donald Trump was the wild card, right? | ||
| He was a guy that had the notoriety, the celebrity, the money, the political will, The style, I mean, everything, like... | ||
| Typically, to get into a position where you can even become president, you have to have layer upon layer upon layer of systemic approval. | ||
| Donald Trump circumvented all of that, and this was a sneak attack on the New World Order. | ||
| And you saw how they freaked out. | ||
| So everything that we're seeing here, it may have been in some ways accelerated by Donald Trump getting into office, but not because Donald Trump accelerated it, but because... | ||
| He actually, in his election for the first time, was an offensive rather than a defensive move by the American people. | ||
| It was an attack on their plan, their system, their war strategy that they then had to respond to. | ||
| And you saw what happens when that's the case. | ||
| They get sloppy. They come up with the Russian collusion narrative. | ||
| And it exposes all of the way that they are manipulating the political sphere and lying openly and getting away with it. | ||
| They had to release COVID. I don't know if they would have released COVID. But I guarantee you if Hillary Clinton had been in office, Ukraine war would have started years earlier. | ||
| We would be much deeper involved in the Middle East. | ||
| I mean, a lot of things would be accelerated in a different way, in a softer way. | ||
| It wouldn't be as obvious and as upfront as in your face is the way they're doing it now. | ||
| I keep describing the way that essentially electing Hillary Clinton would have been us willfully walking into the cage. | ||
| When Donald Trump gets elected, that's us realizing there's a cage, backing up, and the hunters then have to come out of the woods and try to grab us and pull us into the cage, exposing themselves in the process. | ||
| But now we're still in the cage. | ||
| The door just hasn't shut and totally locked yet. | ||
| That door shutting and locking is the central bank digital currency, the digital ID, the 15-minute cities, all of which are being implemented and enacted via orders from the unelected global government at the World Economic Foundation. | ||
| So again, our point here is not just to report on the attack. | ||
| It's to enlist people for the counterattack. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| And not a defensive counterattack, but an offensive counterattack. | ||
| If you're just constantly trying to deal with your enemies, and it's just a lesson throughout history. | ||
| Look at any hugely successful general in all of history, from Caesar to Napoleon to Alexander the Great. | ||
| And the one thing they all share is impatience. | ||
| It's not giving their enemies a chance to get their feet underneath them. | ||
| And we pointed this out at the time when Trump got elected. | ||
| And of course, you know, Trump was just one guy and he's up against this massive, thoroughly corrupted system that has been infiltrated and twisted and perverted for several decades. | ||
| So we never expected Trump's election to just solve everything. | ||
| But a lot of people acted that way. | ||
| A lot of people acted like, we got Trump elected, we can sit back and watch now. | ||
| And QAnon is probably the most successful PSYOP in the history of the world because it was completely the opposite of everything that should have happened. | ||
| What should have happened would be Trump's election treated as a beachhead, as the landing on Omaha Beach or in Normandy on World War II, right? | ||
| Essentially what happened, if you look back in history, it's as if in World War II they crossed the ocean during D-Day, landed, fought back the Nazis, created a beachhead, And a base on the coast of mainland Europe and then just went, we did it. | ||
| Trust the plan. Sit back and relax. | ||
| No worries now. You idiots. | ||
| Come on. Come on. | ||
| Of course, it's the complete opposite, right? | ||
| Trust the plan is the utter inverse of the Infowars slogan, which is you are the resistance. | ||
| You are the resistance. | ||
| It's up to you. You have to do it. | ||
| You have to not be satisfied with Until you have absolute victory. | ||
| You cannot be satisfied with scoring a point in a game. | ||
| You have to play the game to the end. | ||
| You can't just take a pawn off the board and then go, I won the chess game. | ||
| You got to use that attack as the jumping off point of the greater offensive. | ||
| So you have to get involved. | ||
| You have to get organized. | ||
| You can't even wait for other people to organize for you. | ||
| I know like probably 90% of the people listening to me right now, if you ask them like, man, things are pretty bad, what should we do? | ||
| Every single person would be like, man, we just need to, we really need to get off our butts and like, you know, we... | ||
| Last week, we had like three different interviews with three different people of completely, totally various like expertise and profession, everything. | ||
| Every single one of them said, we need a strong man in office. | ||
| We need a strong, we need a leader. I can organize this and do it. | ||
| Well, maybe that's you. Maybe you can be the leader. | ||
| Maybe you can organize your neighborhood or your household or your community or at your college and university. | ||
| And it almost doesn't even matter what you do as long as you do something that puts the enemy on their heels. | ||
| As long as you do something that makes them react to you rather than you reacting to them. | ||
| You've got to do it in a smart way. | ||
| You've got to do it in an intelligent way. | ||
| way, you have to do it in a way that is forward thinking in a very long-term fashion. | ||
| But that really is a key to all of this is... | ||
| Because again, and this is the way I think about it. | ||
| I think about it like all of the Fantasy or sci-fi stories that were always told and show up repeatedly over and over. | ||
| The hero never defeats the machine by becoming like a machine. | ||
| It's something innate in humanity that the machine cannot even conceive of that defeats the machine in the end. | ||
| Or like in 300, right? | ||
| The concept of 300 guys giving their lives totally selflessly is incomprehensible to a totalitarian, authoritarian mindset, right? | ||
| So we're fighting the machine. | ||
| We're fighting the literal embodiment of, like, Skynet and the Matrix. | ||
| And you don't defeat them by playing their game and trying to out-Matrix, out-machine them. | ||
| You do something that humans do, which is come up with unexpected, illogical attacks... | ||
| That they can't predict or deal with. | ||
| That's the only answer. Alright, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| We'll take your calls a little bit later in the show. | ||
| There's so many things to cover until then. | ||
| I believe we're going to get a call from Simon in Florida to talk about what's happening on the international front. | ||
| When it comes to the buildup of World War III, that's clearly happening at a very, very quick rate. | ||
| Let's just go through some of these latest stories. | ||
| I mean, it really is... It really is something else. | ||
| If you just combine all these, then we'll talk about Greta Thunberg here in a second. | ||
| That's a big story. I'll read in a second. | ||
| First of all, breaking. | ||
| House Oversight Committee shows Biden's received $1 million after China wired $3 million to a Biden associate. | ||
| Well, isn't that convenient? | ||
| Isn't that nice? And you can really tell this is the real deal because the way that Democrats The Democrat shills on Twitter are talking about this. | ||
| They're like, but he was a private citizen, so who cares? | ||
| Are you mad that Trump builds hotels? | ||
| It's like, well, Trump has an independent fortune from his corporate activities for decade upon decade before he ever became a politician. | ||
| Biden has been a politician for 100 years, so what is his... | ||
| He's never a private businessman. | ||
| He was out of office for a few years and the money came pouring in from Chinese coffers. | ||
| But they have no idea how to defend against this except by saying, but Trump made money too, as if making money because you build and then lease out apartment buildings is the same as just having millions of dollars wired through back channels from the Chinese government for their political favors you're giving them. | ||
| So again, it's just utter, ridiculous, outrageous, unquestionable corruption at the top levels of our government. | ||
| Just incredible. From Project Veritas. | ||
| Gee, how'd you figure that out? | ||
| From the overwhelming data, was it looking at the data? | ||
| Is that how you figured that out? | ||
| You finally decided to do that, but they're keeping it secret? | ||
| Because, you know, you don't just go around telling people that you've murdered everyone. | ||
| 400,000 workers strike in the UK. | ||
| Tens of thousands rally in London. | ||
| Around 50,000 people took part in a national demonstration of striking workers in London on Wednesday. | ||
| School, university in London, underground workers, plus junior doctors assembled in Hyde Park before marching to Trafalgar Square. | ||
| Government workers staged their own demonstration gathering at Embankment before joining the main rally. | ||
| More protests were held in the UK's other main cities with well-attended picket lines mounting across the country. | ||
| 400,000 workers were on strike, among them 200,000 teachers in the National Education Union, demanding an improved pay raise over the government's insulting 5% pay deal imposed last year. | ||
| Fully funded, not taken out of already overstretched school budgets. | ||
| They're also fighting for an education system not blighted by chronic understaffing overwork and plummeting teacher retention. | ||
| Again, similar stuff that's happening here, but to an even greater degree. | ||
| A conservative newspaper in the UK, Daily Mail, is pushing progressive child-free women are happier narrative. | ||
| As Mother's Day approaches in the United Kingdom, one of its main tabloids is pushing the narrative that there is resounding evidence that women who remain childless are the happiest in society. | ||
| And I have a couple different readings on this. | ||
| The women that remain childless, they say they're the happiest people in society, which sort of contradicts or maybe is explained by the fact that those women are also the... | ||
| Women most likely to be on antidepressant drugs. | ||
| So maybe that should be an aspect of the question. | ||
| It's like, are you happy? | ||
| They're like, yep. It's like, okay, but are you on drugs that make you happy? | ||
| They're like, yep. It's like, oh, okay. | ||
| Well, you're not really happy. | ||
| You're just drugged. That's not being happy. | ||
| That's being sad and drugged. | ||
| That's what that is. Okay? | ||
| So I think that maybe should have been part of the statistics that we're taking here. | ||
| But the Office of National Statistics in the UK figures reveal that a fifth of British women are still childless at 45. | ||
| And they say it shows women who don't marry or have children are consistently the happiest group in the population, it claims. | ||
| I wonder if another aspect of this is when you ask people, are you happy? | ||
| Or are you happy with the way the world is? | ||
| Or that sort of thing. If they're thinking, I'm content. | ||
| I'm happy with the choices I've made. | ||
| Or if they're saying, no, I'm not happy with the way things are because the way things are is being angled towards and designed for people that don't have children, that don't believe in God, that don't care about community or family, right? So if you ask an elderly feminist today, like, are you happy with what's happening in America? | ||
| They'll probably be like, yeah, I'm really happy. | ||
| I'm really happy that You know, there's more misery. | ||
| Like, it's a weird kind of inverse thing, but I wonder if you ask, you know, people with families who care about the future that see the trend that everything's going, that see the way that the schools abuse them and the politicians ignore them and call them domestic terrorists for speaking up, and they go, no, I'm not happy. | ||
| I'm not happy with any of this. | ||
| I'm not happy with the way things are going. | ||
| They go, mm, yeah, see, people with children are miserable. | ||
| No, people with children just have a stake in the future, and so we're not happy with the way things are going right now. | ||
| That would be my interpretation of that. | ||
| Of course, this is all just one part of the anti-family, anti-human, anti-nature, anti-God push that's happening right now. | ||
| Oxfam Inclusivity Guide tells staff to avoid using offensive words like mother, people, or headquarters. | ||
| Headquarters? You can't use the word headquarters? | ||
| Or mother, for that matter? | ||

Dear God. Oklahoma... | |
| Yeah, I'll read it. Oklahoma man out on early release commits triple homicide, murders woman, cooks her heart, tries to feed it to her relatives, including a four-year-old child. | ||
| That happened in America and has hardly received any attention. | ||
| This has received less attention than a video of a white kid in college pushing an empty wheelchair down the stairs. | ||
| It has 30 million views on Twitter. | ||
| People are outraged and hunting this guy down. | ||
| He pushed an empty wheelchair down the stairs on the same day that a man was indicted for cooking and eating a family after being released because of early violence. | ||
| Release Soros prosecutor no-bail programs. | ||
| Again, just worth taking all this in and understanding where we are as a country and where we're going. | ||
| Target shutters downtown Philly locations, citing declining performance. | ||
| Because apparently we can't... | ||
| It's not like we can't have nice things. | ||
| We just can't have things anymore. | ||
| It's not that we can't have nice things. | ||
| Target's not particularly nice. | ||
| It's just you can't have places where you trust people not to steal. | ||
| So from now on, you won't be able to just walk into a store and test things out and try things on. | ||
| You'll just place an order through a phone and then some robot in a warehouse will deliver it to you because this entire program is anti-human and the crime wave is contributing to that. | ||
| Then we have this. Contracts released for CDC purchasing of cell phone data to track Americans' compliance with COVID lockdowns. | ||
| Because the laws do not apply to these people. | ||
| I hope we're all understanding that. | ||
| It's not even about whether these programs or policies are good or not. | ||
| It's about whether... It's about the fact that the government and the biggest corporations will be outside of the law in the new neo-feudal system that they're building to replace the natural system of freedom, capitalism, free choice. | ||
| It'll all be torn down and replaced with the artificial version because they need absolute control. | ||
| You can't have people just having cows and pigs in their yard. | ||

| Same thing with purchasing and everything else. | ||

| Give us the rundown. | ||
| What's going on around the world today? | ||

Hello there, Harrison. | |
| While it's usual doom and gloom, can you hear me clearly there? | ||
| Yes, coming in very well. Thank you. | ||
| Good. I saw your headline for the show today, and I have been listening to the show, and I didn't hear you mention that issue yet. | ||
| Do you actually want to talk about President Xi's speech that he gave on Wednesday night? | ||
| Yeah, sure, yeah. I mean, a very rare sort of direct confrontational tone that he took against America, calling America out by name. | ||
| Usually they're a little bit more subtle with it, but I think sort of the mask is off when it comes to China. | ||
| I think they're doing a very blatant job of targeting America and being as stringent as possible. | ||
| But what's your take on this? | ||
| Right, so I have a slightly different perspective. | ||
| But I'm very glad that you noticed that that event occurred. | ||
| So on Wednesday, President Xi of China, bearing in mind that he's just pulled off this diplomatic coup of getting the reconciliation between Iran and Saudi Arabia, which is only just one tiny piece of a massive Middle East puzzle that you've been doing an outstanding job of I'm noticing and paying attention to because very, | ||
| very few other Western media outlets have the slightest idea of the magnitude of events that are occurring in the Middle East on literally an hourly basis. | ||
| It's not just one deal there. | ||
| There's literally people jetting all over the Middle East, re-establishing contact, overturning previous agreements with the Americans and the Israelis. | ||
| It's a truly momentous course of events that are underway. | ||
| And people think that, oh yeah, they just re-established diplomatic relations. | ||
| They were just going back to the situation that existed in 2016, in terms of them having ambassadors in each other's respective countries. | ||
| That is not the case at all. | ||
| It wasn't one deal. | ||
| It was three deals, plus a whole load of security protocols. | ||
| It is It's enormously significant. | ||
| And if we have time, I can go into more detail on that. | ||
| But to get to your headline, and this is relatively quick, first of all, President Xi announced that he had a PEAT concept that was largely directed at Ukraine. | ||
| And that was called the Global Security Initiative PEAT concept. | ||
| Many people are not familiar, and I actually discussed this for an hour on Australian radio On the beginning of this week, the people are starting to ask questions about this. | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| You know, these huge moves that China are making. | ||
| We've got the Global Security Initiative, we've got the Global Development Initiative, and we've got the Belt and Road Initiative. | ||
| And those three points are essentially China's interaction with the world. | ||
| They advance their Global Security Initiative. | ||
| And now, tied to the Global Development Initiative, President Xi at what essentially was a mini-United Nations with representatives from 150 countries at Beijing. | ||
| Already, it was essentially supplanting the United Nations in terms of the audience in person that he addressed his speech to. | ||
| That fact has been largely overlooked. | ||
| And he didn't so much as call out America by name, but he definitely referenced it by inference, by saying those who were trying to maintain and impose their hegemonic order on the world, much in line as statements by saying those who were trying to maintain and impose their hegemonic order | ||
| Right. | ||
| So, Do you see those things as contradictory? | ||
| I see both of these as different names for the same program. | ||
| It seems to me like the Western powers, the new world order that they envision, is of a Chinese model and even has China at the head. | ||
| It seems like they are offshoring things to China and say China is the future. | ||
| So are these at odds? To me they're the same thing. | ||
| Excellent question, and it's quite hard to tell as to whether or not they are burning the same candle at both ends with the intention of meeting at the middle, still through the programmable central digital currency and social credit score, | ||
| or whether or not that's just a belief that that is going to be the final outcome of humanity But there's a battle as to who is going to control the levers of power that's going to dictate to all of us minions. | ||
| But in his speech, he talked about letting a hundred flowers bloom. | ||
| Now, no other Western analyst that I found, and I'm looking at like 700 news sources, has recognized that that was a direct quote from From a campaign that Chairman Mao in 1956 that was designed to reform the Chinese Communist Party after only seven years in power. | ||
| And the slogan of that campaign in 1956 was for let a hundred flowers bloom, which is the direct quote to the speech twice, And then from now, he added and let 100 ideas pent now. | ||
| Well, hold on. We've got to go to break, but I'm going to give you the whole next segment to break this down because it's that type of stuff that you notice and you pick out and you have the knowledge to understand the context of that I don't have and obviously the rest of the Western media doesn't have. | ||
| Incredibly powerful stuff. We'll be back with Simon. | ||
| Let me give you the whole next segment to really break this down for us. | ||
| Stay tuned, folks. Welcome back, folks. | ||
| We will be joined in studio by Michael Graves in the next hour, and we'll be taking your calls and talking about some of these big topics with him, mostly on the domestic front, I imagine. | ||
| But we're sticking to the international news. | ||
| Here we have Simon from Florida, a real expert in the international intrigue. | ||
| And just scrolling through his Twitter, you truly get a sense of the real excitement happening across the world. | ||
| I don't know if that's the right word, but just... | ||
| On every level in every country, just insane things are happening across the board. | ||
| Here's just some highlights before I toss back over to Simon to help give us some context. | ||
| Iran, Russia, and China have kicked off trilateral naval drills in the Sea of Oman. | ||
| That just happened yesterday. | ||
| They kicked it off and are still continuing today. | ||
| Global Civilization Initiative proposed by Xi, quote, provides hope to heal the world in turbulence, kind of like a Chinese Great Reset. | ||
| Again, it is kind of confusing where these fault lines lie when you've got China clearly working with the New World Order in a lot of different ways, but also siding with Russia to oppose them. | ||
| It's sort of hard to get a handle on things. | ||
| There's also, last week, or I'm sorry, yesterday, there was a story of the Chinese spy satellites being deployed, weapon satellites actually, to take out American satellites, space weapons being deployed. | ||
| China's Xi to meet Putin next week in the first visit to Russia since the invasion of Ukraine. | ||
| You've got a number of different headlines when it comes to Ukraine. | ||
| Basically, they're attacking the Orthodox Church. | ||
| The American ammunition supplies are running low because of how many we've sent to Ukraine. | ||
| Some of these weapons have been shown to have injured children and been used in crimes against humanity or war crimes. | ||
| A French political leader says it was obvious the Americans were behind the bombing of the Nord Stream pipeline. | ||
| And they're also preparing for a spring offensive in Ukraine. | ||
| But there's been whistleblowers have come out and said the Ukraine soldiers are not prepared. | ||
| And America's admitted that they've lost over 100,000 in the year since the war began. | ||
| I mean, we're rapidly barreling towards World War III. | ||
| Simon, you've been staying on top of all of this. | ||
| I just want to hand the floor over to you, please. | ||
| What do you make of all this? | ||
| How do you put all this together? | ||
| Going back to the speech, you indeed correctly pointed out that the name of that, or the announcement that it included, was for a Global Civilization Initiative. | ||
| And the scope of that is so vast that he is proposing... | ||
| It is genuinely a replacement for the United Nations. | ||
| And it's a new modality for the means by which countries interact. | ||
| And in particular, and I think this is why he took the... | ||
| A hundred flowers bloom. | ||
| So there is another dig at the European Union specifically linked to that, that he then infers this concept of a hundred ideas contending. | ||
| Because what he is proposing is that there will be true multipolarity. | ||
| And by that, what he means is that there will not be dominance by the United States And the Europeans, which they describe as the Atlantic Partnership. | ||
| Okay? Now, this concept ties very much into the Heartland theory and the world island, which is basically that the center of the world, which at the time that it was conceived, was basically Russia and the countries around it. | ||
| But it's now been taken to include Russia, China, and what is now becoming known as the Global South. | ||
| So further to the request from Pamela Harris, the Vice President, and the German Foreign Minister for all of the third world or non-aligned movement nations, take a side in relation to Ukraine. | ||
| That is exactly what we are seeing. | ||
| But it's not just on the issue of Ukraine. | ||
| It's about whether or not America and the European Union, via the United Nations, can force other countries to toe their line. | ||
| So the European Affairs Foreign Minister, Mr Burrell, used a very unartful or inartful phrase where he said that the European Union are the world's garden and the rest of the country, excluding America, Are the world's jungle. | ||
| So President Xi pointedly said that it was China's ambition, with all the flowers blooming, turned the whole world into a garden. | ||
| Now, one thing about gardens, as opposed to jungles, is you have a gardener. | ||
| And they manage the garden. | ||
| They pull out the weeds and they plant new seeds and new bulbs. | ||
| So the question here is, and this is directly relevant for everyone listening, is who is going to be the gardener? | ||
| And that's the crux of the issue that we're facing at the moment. | ||
| Is it going to be the Western Atlantic Partnership that, in China's view, is going to dictate the Or is China going to harness all the different cultures in one global civilization and allow other nations, | ||
| including India and countries in South America and in Africa, to all independently make their own contributions for the betterment of humanity? | ||
| It is a huge, vast, overarching conflict of schemes about the progress of humanity. | ||
| And the argument that is being made by the Middle East nations now is that they are fed up of America's father's doctrine, which is essentially U.S. dominance of the Middle East in order to secure energy supplies, which is essentially U.S. dominance of the Middle East in order to secure energy supplies, and that they have now decided to decide not only with Iran, but with the Shanghai Cooperation | ||
| Right. For the Middle East in a hundred years, | ||
| since the end of World War I and the Ottoman Empire fell, and then France and Britain, who were the dominant colonial powers at the time, literally carved up the Middle East into their respective spheres of influence. | ||
| Post-World War II, because France and Britain were so financially destroyed by the cost of They basically didn't have the ability to do that, and both of them withdrew from their overseas empires over the course of the next 20 years. | ||
| You saw Britain pulling out of the Middle East, and you saw France pulling out of both Vietnam and Algeria. | ||
| Right, so what China's doing now is a total reorganization, sort of reset of Middle East policy, and it seems like they're doing it. | ||
| Tell me if I'm wrong here, Simon, but it seems like America has maintained the hundred years of how it's been since that collapse through warfare, through force, and China is now coming in through the back door with a checkbook and making things go their way without using force. | ||
| We've got two minutes left. The floor is yours, Simon. | ||
| Where do you think we go from here? | ||
| That is exactly correct. | ||
| And the Chinese have been blatant in saying that, that we're doing all of this through peace, prosperity, and stability. | ||
| They're not trying to change any international borders, but they want to see a great deal more business. | ||
| And I would have to say that this is exactly the kind of program that Donald Trump would advocate. | ||
| Stop fighting and let's do business. | ||
| And that's a lot more attractive than the classic American divide and conquer technique. | ||
| But there's something else that I'd like to point out to you that's going on right now is people think about the World Economic Forum having their annual summit in Davos. | ||
| But they actually have lots of other meetings. | ||
| And your station, Infowars, has been playing that clip of Elon Musk speaking to the World Government Summit saying how we don't want to homogenize everything and for the survival of humanity we have to have diverse groups because one will be going up while another is going down. | ||
| So they've got another kind of summit going on at the moment in the UAE which is the WEF Innovation Summit and just as I said with Alex Jones and we did a 45 minute special about this I think it was July 9th of 2021. | ||
| They're now saying that by creating human digital twins, people will be able to operate in the metaverse and robots will do people's jobs. | ||
| And that is exactly what I told Alex It was 21 months ago and now it's coming out in the public. | ||
| It's all coming down. Brilliant stuff as always. | ||
| Thank you so much for calling in. | ||
| Your expertise is unparalleled. | ||
| Simon from Florida, everyone. | ||
| Weeks before the Silicon Valley bank collapse, several executives sold off large shares of stock, while mainstream several executives sold off large shares of stock, while mainstream media tells its audience to invest in them. | ||
| On March 9th, the day before the collapse, Israel's two largest banks pulled up to $1 billion out of SVB. While Peter Thiel's Founders Fund withdrew millions and advised their clients to do the same. | ||
| The next day, there was a run on the bank and Silicon Valley Bank collapsed. | ||
| Is this evidence of a controlled demolition or a hasty one? | ||
| The day before the collapse, a U.S. judge ordered JPMorgan Chase to turn over documents in a lawsuit accusing them of aiding in Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operation. | ||
| The team behind this lawsuit was the same team who successfully exposed the involvement of Deutsche Bank, and they subpoenaed several other banks they believe were involved in sex trafficking. | ||
| Including Silicon Valley Bank and Bank Lumi, the Israeli bank that drained a billion dollars out of SVB the day before it collapsed. | ||
| Whatever the reason, the U.S. government's response threatens to collapse the world economy. | ||
| The FDIC insures up to $250,000 for each depositor. | ||
| But now they are going to cover all depositor losses. | ||
| And they don't have enough to cover the $175 billion of SVB losses, let alone the trillions of dollars to be lost on the near horizon as banks across the world begin to break. | ||
| The systemic risk among GSIBs, global, systemically important banks, is that they are so deeply connected that when one falls, they will all follow. | ||
| Much of the world's economy is already collapsing due to the actions of the U.S. government and the Federal Reserve banking system. | ||
| And much of the world has been preparing for the end of the U.S. dollar as a world reserve currency. | ||
| After all the smaller banks die, the people will be left with the central bank. | ||
| And their solution is the CBDC. CBDC stands for Central Bank Digital Currency. | ||
| With CBDC, there are no more options. | ||
| Everyone's account is run directly through the central bank system. | ||
| As the financial system gets more controlling and more invasive, it's a little bit like bringing up a corral around us. | ||
| And CBDC, Central Bank Digital Currencies and Vaccine Passports, or digital IDs, are sort of the last shutting of the gate. | ||
| It's hard for many people to imagine the risks here because we're so used to living With financial transaction freedom and we don't understand that when this gate closes on us we literally will be sitting in a system where the central banks believe that our assets belong to them and they can dictate where we can spend money and what we can spend money on. | ||
| If you don't behave you can have your money turned off. | ||
| There are 12 Federal Reserve Banks, which are located in cities being considered for the 15-minute city model of the World Economic Forum. | ||
| This is where it's all headed, and there isn't much pushback in the federal government. | ||
| Utah Senator Mike Lee introduced the No CBDC Act last September, which will likely go nowhere. | ||
| But we the people have much more sway over our local governments. | ||
| An Oklahoma House committee unanimously passed a bill to protect Oklahomans from being forced to adopt a CBDC. It's time for we the people to unite with our neighbors and local communities and prepare to liberate ourselves from the central bank system. | ||
| Recall our corrupt county officials and start looking into local barter and trade systems because central bank digital currency is coming at us quickly and it equals financial enslavement. | ||
| Reporting for InfoWars, this is Greg Reese. | ||
| All right, folks, find and share that video on Bandot Video. | ||
| It's the latest from Greg Reese. | ||
| Watch CBDC, FVB, and the Jeffrey Epstein Connection. | ||
| We know that central bank digital currency is the final turn of the lock of the jail cell around prison planet Earth, and we have to resist it with everything we've got. | ||
| And that entails telling as many people about it as possible. | ||
| Letting them know not just what's happening, but how it affects them and why they are rapidly running out of time to stand up against it. | ||
| Michael Graves in studio. | ||
| We'll take your calls for the next hour. | ||
| Don't go anywhere, folks. All right, welcome back. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, this is Harrison Smith. | ||
| I'm in studio with the one and only Michael Graves, well-known for his prolific career as a musician, and he's the host of Radio Deadly on Censored.tv. | ||
| Graves has always been an outspoken patriot and avid conservative, which put him in the crosshairs of cancel culture. | ||
| On Radio Deadly, Michael talks about music, fatherhood, and patriotism. | ||
| His website is officialmichaelgraves.com. | ||
| You can find him on Twitter at Radio Deadly. | ||
| You can find him on YouTube and Getter and Facebook and Parler and Gab and everything else. | ||
| His Gab is at Official Michael Graves, as is his Parler. | ||
| Welcome to the show, Michael. | ||
| How you doing? I'm good. | ||
| Thanks for having me back. Great to have you back, as always. | ||
| What's on your mind today? | ||
| I mean, we're covering a lot of news today. | ||
| What stands out to you? | ||
| The sum of it all, it's incredibly overwhelming. | ||
| You know, I feel overwhelmed by the entire... | ||
| And the sum of things. | ||
| My only hope really is in God. | ||
| And I really always pivot back to that, you know, because you have to. | ||
| I mean, the world is a broken place. | ||
| And there are so many broken people in it. | ||
| And all of this that we see... | ||
| All that's covered here on Infowars and all that's in the news is incredibly... | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| We were just talking about our children, and I have three children. | ||
| And so I'm incredibly concerned for them and for their future. | ||
| So it's insane, really. | ||
| Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. | ||
| You say your only hope is in God. | ||
| To me, it's like the last hope. | ||
| That's like, if we don't succeed, then God will have to step in and set things right for us. | ||
| But I think, you know, we can delay that inevitability for as long as humanly possible. | ||
| Yeah. And again, it's like, you know, InfoWars is the best name for an organization, and it really is like, if you can get through to people what's going on, what's happening, then you can manifest the political will to actually take power of these organizations and dismantle what needs to be dismantled and make right what needs to be made right. | ||
| I mean... Is there hope in that? | ||
| Or is that a fantasy and we should just be moving to the country and buying ammo? | ||
| I mean, I hate that. | ||
| I hate that idea. You definitely do that as well. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, you know, it is fun if you're going to have fun in the country. | ||
| But I hate the idea that it seems so overwhelming that you just want to run away. | ||
| But, like, I can't stomach that. | ||
| Yeah, well, the human heart by nature is evil, right? | ||
| All things flow from our hearts, and by nature, the human heart is evil. | ||
| And so, for people that are believers, we understand that. | ||
| We have to disconnect from this world. | ||
| We're in this world, but we're not of it. | ||
| And whether this world is destroyed by a nuclear bomb or whatever the case, the world comes to an end for all of us, whether we die by natural causes or we hit the button and it explodes in itself. | ||
| And so, therefore, we have to find what our nature is. | ||
| I mean, we die and, you know, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, but our souls continue. | ||
| And when you key into that, that there is a spiritual aspect to all of this as well. | ||
| It says in Scripture that we struggle with, you know, we struggle with not flesh. | ||
| We struggle with the spiritual side of things. | ||
| When you start to key in on that, that's when things can open up in your heart and you realize that you have to account at some point when this whole thing is over, this whole physical experience is over. | ||
| I think that a lot of... | ||
| And that's why the globalists attack art, and they attack music, they attack culture, they attack people like me who are trying to get to youth and spread that message, that hole that you feel in your heart, the void that's inside you is there because you don't have... | ||
| You don't have God in there, right? | ||
| And God sees everybody like they're the only person in the world. | ||
| And that no matter what you try to do here... | ||
| There's nothing that can fill that. | ||
| I know so many people. | ||
| I come from the music industry and I was pretty successful in that before all of this cancellation took place. | ||
| Money doesn't make that go away. | ||
| Fame doesn't make that go away. | ||
| Likes on Facebook doesn't make that hurt go away. | ||
| The only thing that makes that go away is coming to the cross and believing in Christ and knowing that God is there. | ||
| And that is our only hope and our salvation. | ||
| And that's why religion is attacked. | ||
| That's why Christians are attacked. | ||
| And that's why all the authoritarian, tyrannical systems of government, whether it's communism, fascism, you take God out of the mix and you make government your God. | ||
| Mm-hmm. Yeah, which is just making other people your God, right? | ||
| Or some sort of mechanical system. | ||
| You rely on man instead of relying on God. | ||
| Yeah, and I mean, it's not even like in a speculative or vague sense. | ||
| I mean, there are literal attacks on the church that are happening right now. | ||
| And we actually have a video. | ||
| I think I put it in the folder, guys. | ||
| Tell me if y'all have it. The video of a bunch of monks, Ukrainian monks, calling out the international Christian community after persecution by the Zelensky regime. | ||
| Stories of Gateway Pundit. | ||
| In May 2022, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky signed into law number 7172-1, which will ban opposition parties and seize their property. | ||
| The law targets opposition parties if they deny the armed aggression against Ukraine. | ||
| It also includes actions that support, so you're not allowed to support the Russian Federation or Belarus, but also part of it was an attack on this Ukrainian church, which in and of itself is an offshoot, a breakaway of the Russian church, you know, prior to this whole conflict, a breakaway of the Russian church, you know, prior to this whole conflict, the church in Ukraine was the They broke the way to the Ukrainian church, and now they're under oppression. | ||
| I wonder if we can go to this video now, just sort of get a sense of the attacks, the physical, literal attacks on the church community, specifically the Orthodox one that's happening in Ukraine as an aspect of this war. | ||
| Let's go to that video now. | ||

| We show ourselves To communicate to everyone in the whole world that we are Christians, we are Orthodox, and we aren't afraid of anybody and anything. | ||
| We already be here to the end. | ||
| If someone wants to come here and beat us and draw us through our legs and our hands, we are ready. | ||
| We aren't afraid. | ||
| Everything that people condemned us, we did nothing against our church, we did nothing against our country, our Ukraine. | ||
| We pray to God about our country, about our nation. | ||
| But everyone in our country condemns us as traitors. | ||
| We aren't traitors. | ||
| We are Christians. | ||
| And we confess in front of the whole world that we are Christians. | ||
| We want to follow church rules. | ||
| We want to be... | ||
| God's slaves. We are slaves of our God and our Lord Jesus Christ. | ||
| That's the issue, isn't it? They're not afraid, and they hold their allegiance to God above anything else, and now they're, you know, state sanctions, and they're coming under basically the rule of the Ukraine parliament. | ||
| We can pick this up more on the other side in the last 30 seconds. | ||
| What's your take on that video? Look, again, the nature of this world is evil, and God does rule over everything, but in this space here, it's the devil, it's Satan, it's the prince of the powers, you know, the principalities that we're dealing with. | ||
| And when you see people like that, that are lined up against it, it gives me hope, but it also shows that we are up against evil forces. | ||
| Satan himself. We'll be right back, folks. | ||
|

|
Don't go anywhere. Alright, welcome back folks. | |
| We are here live with Michael Graves. | ||
| I'm actually going to open up the phone lines now. | ||
| If you want to give us a call and talk to us about any of the stories we've covered today or anything we've missed, please do give us a call. | ||
| The number to dial is 1-877-789-2539. | ||
| 1-877-789-2539. | ||
| Now, during the break, I was just laying out my theory, my conception of what's going on here. | ||
| And again, I've tried to express it on the show a few times, but I feel like it's something I need some feedback on from another person. | ||
| And I just kind of explained it. | ||
| I'll try to do it again. So, we're up against the machine. | ||
| We're in the Matrix movies. | ||
| We're in Terminator. And the way that these machines, these massively complicated and complex systems are defeated is not by taking them over. | ||
| It's not by being more intelligent than them. | ||
| It's by doing things that they cannot have planned for. | ||
| They can't have quantified. | ||
| They don't understand how to compute. | ||
| And you can point to Jesus Christ and his sacrifice as sort of a prime example of that, where the Romans, every time, I mean, there were multiple people who claimed to be the Messiah. | ||
| Every time, they would fight back. | ||
| They would stand up. | ||
| They'd go, we're making a kingdom. | ||
| We're going to kill them. | ||
| And then they would get wiped out. | ||
| The machine, the Roman Empire, knew how to handle. | ||
| It knew how to handle you when you stood up against him. | ||
| It crushed you. | ||
| But when Jesus Christ willingly goes to death, it didn't really know how to handle that. | ||
| It can't quantify self-sacrifice. | ||
| It doesn't have programs designed to deal with these human things. | ||
| And so it's the human emotion. | ||
| It's a capacity for love, self-sacrifice, and totally independent, creative creation itself. | ||
| That's what humans can do that the machine is incapable of. | ||
| I guess long story short, we need to be doing things in an unpredictable, unquantifiable way. | ||
| Is that even possible, do you think? | ||
| Yes. Yeah, and I think that you nailed it. | ||
| Self-preservation. That's love. | ||
| The greatest gift that you can give somebody, the greatest sacrifice you can make is giving up your life for another person. | ||
| A computer can't compute that. | ||
| That self-preservation. | ||
| And that's what everybody does here. | ||
| That's what you just said on the break to me. | ||
| What are they going to do? | ||
| Kill me? We hear that a lot here at InfoWars. | ||
| And I know that all of you are dead serious about it. | ||
| And so that's how we defeat the machine. | ||
| That's what Jesus did. | ||
| He willingly gave his life. | ||
| He went to that cross knowing that He could have stopped it. | ||
| He didn't have to do that. | ||
| But that's what upended everything. | ||
| That's what made the devil go, what? | ||
| Yeah. He even said, you know, when Pontius Pilate is questioning him, he said, you know, if my kingdom was of earth, my followers would have defended me. | ||
| You know, my kingdom is not of this earth. | ||
| So... And, you know, it's not even just Christians. | ||
| I was reading, I think it's called Hagakure, a book about the samurai, right? | ||
| The samurai say, you know, the way of the warrior is a resolute acceptance of death. | ||
| Once you act every day as if you're already dead or have already accepted death at a moment's notice, then you're totally free to be who you really are. | ||
| And that's the key. | ||
| What do you gain if you get the whole world but you lose your soul in the process? | ||
| And that's key, knowing that, again, like I said, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. | ||
| It's only temporary here. | ||
| I might walk out this door here today, get in the car, and a huge semi crashes into me, and then my life is over. | ||
| At some point, it's all going to come for us, whether it's a nuclear bomb, sickness, whatever the case. | ||
| And so, understanding that we are spiritual in nature, what is flesh is flesh, what spirit is spirit, then we can take a step towards something else and strive for something that's eternal. | ||
| Right? But when you have that short-sightedness, when people don't key into that, you see a lot of that in culture. | ||
| That's why Satanism is becoming so popular with young people. | ||
| Because... They're focused on themselves. | ||
| I was going to say it's narcissism, yeah. | ||
| They're absolutely focused on themselves. | ||
| And these crazy things that bend reality. | ||
| Boys can be girls. | ||
| Girls can be boys. You can be something in the middle. | ||
| So you just mess with hard truths. | ||
| And that just upsets the apple cart in incredible ways. | ||
| You know, when you say the biggest sacrifice you can make is your life, there's also... | ||
| That doesn't mean dying necessarily. | ||
| That also means, like, having a kid. | ||
| Like, when you have a kid, you sacrifice a lot of potential dreams or achievements that you can make. | ||
| And, you know, a lot of the social programming going on now is to say it's not worth the sacrifice. | ||
| Your life, your immediate pleasure is worth more than the eternal thing that you're creating. | ||
| I think it's... Yeah, it's my opinion as well. | ||
| You see a lot of, you know, this climate change stuff where they're pushing, well, why would I have a child because in 10 years the world's going to be gone? | ||
| This move to push people away from having children, whether by abortion or just by the decision not to have that, because there is a very high level of sacrifice when you have a child. | ||
| Much less two or three children like I have. | ||
| So yeah, you do. | ||
| You have to sacrifice a lot of yourself and that's not an easy thing to do. | ||
| But it's like, why? | ||
| I think there's a weird set of people that I don't understand that... | ||
| Really want things to be easy, man. | ||
| Why would you want things to be... | ||
| If this ever happened to you, if you play video games and you start putting cheat codes in, the video game stops being fun. | ||
| You know? If your character can never die, then you'll play for five minutes and go, yeah, this is stupid. | ||
| But if it's You want to strive. | ||
| You want to contend. You want to have the possibility of failure because that's what makes victory, victory. | ||
| Again, the culture has grown these people that don't want the uncomfortableness of all of that. | ||
| They just want to put their cheat codes into life and have thousands of followers or be a celebrity or to be on TV. That's what they feel. | ||
| That's what the culture accepts as, well, you've made it. | ||
| That's what you should be striving for. | ||
| When back in our grandparents' days, you know, in my parents' days, it was working hard, pulling yourself up by your bootstraps, sacrificing for your children, not for yourself, but so that what comes after you, you're building. | ||
| You're building upon the sacrifices so that the people that come after you can have a better life. | ||
| And that's not what the culture pushes anymore. | ||
| You know, anymore. | ||
| That's what happens when everybody that shows up gets a trophy. | ||
| And it doesn't matter if you run hard. | ||
| It doesn't matter if you focus on the fundamentals or the techniques of what you're trying to do. | ||
| You just show up and there you go. | ||
| You know, here's a medal. | ||
| It's like in the music industry, you know, where machines have made it so easy where you don't even necessarily have to sing on key because the machine will fix it for you, you know, or it just makes things easy. | ||
| Life is not supposed to be easy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Life isn't easy. | |
| And if somebody's making it easy for you, it's because they are hiding reality from you. | ||
| I really think that is true. We're going to go out to the phone calls on the other side. | ||
| If you want to call in the number to dial, still open lines, 1-877-789-2539. | ||
| That's 1-877-789-2539. | ||
| Your calls on the other side. | ||
| It's American Journal, Michael Graves, sitting in studio, taking your calls. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Music All right, folks, welcome back. | |
| This is The American Journal. | ||
| Michael Graves in studio. | ||
| Officialmichaelgrades.com is the website. | ||
| He's on Twitter at Radio Deadly. | ||
| Radio Deadly is the name of his censored.tv show. | ||
| Talking about all sorts of things, music, fatherhood, patriotism. | ||
| We were just having a conversation about confidence. | ||
| We want to go out to phone calls, though, and hear what you fine folks have to say. | ||
| I'm really intrigued by Mordecai. | ||
| Mordecai's a first-time caller from Baltimore. | ||
| You want to talk about evil, evil in the heart. | ||
| Mordecai, thanks for calling in. You're on the air with myself and Michael Graves. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, guys. Hey, Harrison, Mike. | |
| How are you guys doing? Good morning. | ||
| Good, thank you. Good morning, good morning. | ||
| Yeah, so first-time caller. | ||
| I've been watching you guys for a while. | ||
| And I just figured I turned on today and I just figured it's one of the hot topics that I love to debate and explore and engage with all different types of people. | ||
| And Mike I kind of just wanted to I guess expound on what you're saying about evil in the heart. | ||
| So I actually had a I guess what I would call a heated debate with one of my rabbis back in the day and he said a very similar topic and I brought almost like a proof and said that like we're taught that we're created in God's image and if If God's goodness is reality and everything is God, right, we are a microcosm of that, which means that the parts of our body then are godliness. | ||
| So I would say that the heart in of itself is good. | ||
| It has to be good and has the capacity of good, but if we're not filling it with that goodness, which is, I would say, a direct result of studying the Bible and acting as a good person in the name of God, then that That cup, that opening, that vessel is only then going to be filled with, you know, darkness and evil. | ||
| So I kind of just wanted to see how that would fit with you, whereas as opposed to the entirety of the heart being evil, I would kind of posit the idea that the heart is a vessel of goodness. | ||
| It has to be because it keeps us alive and God's keeping us alive. | ||
| So there's a connection and correlation there. | ||
| there but if we're not consistently filling with energy of goodness with godliness then the result and repercussion of that is evil to enter the heart that makes sense yeah I don't disagree I go back to the conversation that that Jesus had with Nicodemus and Jesus talks about having to be reborn again that in order to get to the point where what you're talking about there has to be an abandonment of of our humanness that | ||
| There has to be a change in ourselves and recognizing the sacrifice that Christ made and giving ourselves over to God, abandoning this world, realizing that the nature of our heart That the bad things, our humanness flows through that heart, and when we abandon that and we're reborn, then we have a heart for God. | ||
| So yeah, I don't disagree with you at all. | ||
| There's a lot of good quotes, right? | ||
| There's two wolves inside of you. | ||
| Which one grows? | ||
| The one that you feed, right? | ||
| Good and evil, or... The good and evil, the dividing line goes right down the middle of the human heart. | ||
| I think that's another famous quote. | ||
| I can't remember where it's from. It's not that evil is necessarily inborn, but everybody is corruptible. | ||
| If you allow it to be corrupted, then it goes down. | ||
| Any response to that, Mordecai, before we move on to some other callers? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That was it. The last thing, real quick, was you guys talked about how... | |
| I think it was you, Harrison, who said... | ||
| That, you know, we should bring it or else it will be brought. | ||
| It's just interesting how I've had that theory for the longest of time. | ||
| So I just kind of wanted to throw out a blessing to you guys and to the listeners and to the world that, God willing, we'll be able to kind of bring it So, God forbid it's brought on to us. | ||
| Amen. Thank you for everything you guys are doing, and keep it up. | ||
| Stay safe. Well, thank you very much. | ||
| And I'll tell you, as a fan of history, it's like you look at the most successful people in history, and one of the sentences you see over and over about those people's enemies is, you know... | ||
| Like, with Caesar, it'll say, like, and Caesar was on them before they even knew he was marching, right? | ||
| Whoever takes that initiative, whoever is the independent, not the dependent variable, like, you set the stage, your victory's almost guaranteed. | ||
| And what's the famous quote? | ||
| Like, Patton or somebody said, like, we're gonna get there the firstest with the mostest, right? | ||
| It's like, if you get there first, if you are on the offense, you automatically are that much closer to victory than always, you know, defending. | ||
| It's... It's an impossible goal to defend forever. | ||
| That doesn't work. Any other callers at UCL? I think Andrew in New York might have some interesting things to say. | ||
| Let's go to Andrew. You want to talk about the brainwashed. | ||
| Thanks for calling in, Andrew. You're on the air. | ||
|

|
I know one thing that can defeat the never world order. | |
| Even though we're supposed to defeat people on Earth to So not go to hell and stuff. | ||
| And Obama just made everybody break mentally. | ||
| I guess a gay black guy with a transsexual who's supposedly a woman, it just made people not be able to question or do anything. | ||
| But they just need to be in the right place. | ||
| Fifth generation deconstruction. | ||
| They're the globalist limp-wristed attacks. | ||
| It's going nowhere. I'm still going to be the Pennsylvania senator. | ||
| Well, I think I get what you're saying. | ||
| I mean, that is a question. | ||
| Obviously, there's a spiritual aspect to what's going on across the world, and if you're missing out on that, you're missing out on the greater context. | ||
| But how do we achieve things in the real world without abandoning our spiritual principles? | ||
| I think that intention is a big part of that. | ||
| Again, if you understand that, like I said before, that we are in this world, but we're not of it, and we do have a heart for Christ, then our intentions, the way that we go about things, the things that we're looking to achieve, | ||
| the way that we raise our children, the way that we treat other people, the way that we treat our wives and the relationship that we have with our partners and the other people that we are with and sharing this time within the world, then it moves in the right direction. | ||
| But if we're lost and we don't have that connection, then that's when things go bad. | ||
| And that's when people find themselves in a corner lost and broken and contemplating suicide because the pain is so bad. | ||
| And there's a lot of that in the world. | ||
| There's a lot of people that are in tremendous pain. | ||
| I'm not saying that somebody like me, I go through the world without pain, but when I do have that pain, I'm able to turn to my Savior and turn to God, and there's comfort there. | ||
| There's comfort in all of those things. | ||
| I think that's an incredibly important work. | ||
| The pain can never be overwhelming when it's in context, right? | ||
| When it has purpose and when it's reflected from the gifts. | ||
| And I think the intentionality thing is interesting. | ||
| I've even found in my own life where it's like, if you're just like desperate to be fit, maybe you can tell me this since you actually achieve fame in music and stuff, like, To me, it seems like if you are going out going, I want to be famous, I'm going to try to be famous, it's not going to work. | ||
| And if you abandon that and go, you know what, I'm just going to do what God wants me to do, then suddenly you might become famous. | ||
| Like, that's how it worked for me. | ||
| I never wanted to have a show, but I just tried to do what I thought God was pointing me towards. | ||
| Now I have a show. I wouldn't have gotten it if I wanted it. | ||
| Right? We see it all the time. | ||
| Where... There's famous people, very famous people, that turn to drugs or they do wind up killing themselves. | ||
| I've known lots of very wealthy people, people that are famous, people that I could say their names and everybody out there listening would know. | ||
| And they're unhappy. And they don't know why. | ||
| They have the whole world. They have millions of dollars in the bank. | ||
| Everybody knows who they are. | ||
| They've achieved fame. | ||
| But they're empty. | ||
| And their life has no substance, no meaning. | ||
| And they can't understand why. | ||
| And again, that goes back to what I was just saying about intention and abandoning all that. | ||
| And, you know, so why are you doing that? | ||
| So why do you want to become famous? | ||
| Why do you want everybody to know who you are? | ||
| To fill yourself, to make yourself feel like, well, I'm... | ||
| You know, define yourself through that. | ||
| But it's empty. There's nothing... | ||
| Once you get there, there's nothing there. | ||
| It's like, oh, I'm going to feel really great once I get that record contract and, you know, I have a million followers and everybody knows who I am. | ||
| And then you get there, you're like, well, wait a second. | ||
| I thought this was going to feel different. | ||
| What's wrong? What am I missing? | ||
| Yeah, yeah. It reminds me of during the Johnny Depp Amber Heard trial. | ||
| They had all those secret recordings of them. | ||
| These are the most famous rich people in the world. | ||
| And they're just literally tearing each other's hair out. | ||
| And they're just these vicious, drugged out, drunk psychopaths. | ||
| And it's like, I'll stay at home and be poor, thanks. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, final segment of the American Journal. | ||
| Michael Graves is in studio with me. | ||
| He's on Twitter at Radio Deadly. | ||
| Radio Deadly is the show that he hosts on Censored.tv. | ||
| You can go to his website, officialmichaelgraves.com. | ||
| I also encourage, beg, beseech, plead. | ||
| You go to infowarstore.com and support everything that we do here. | ||
| We are on a mission from God. | ||
| And we're actually having major victories across the board. | ||
| Unheard of victories. | ||
| Just information coming out. | ||
| Breaking through to the mainstream. | ||
| It's all because you have gone to InfoWarsStore.com. | ||
| Kept us on the air. Kept us getting these great guests. | ||
| Producing these great shows. And of course keeping yourself healthy and engaged and in the fight. | ||
| You can be the man in the arena with us. | ||
| InfoWarsStore.com. Try the new Ashwagandha gummy or Ashwagandha with black pepper. | ||
| Take advantage of that ancient powerful herb. | ||
| It's 25% off right now. | ||
| These two all new favorites. | ||
| We're going to take more of your phone calls. | ||
| Before we go to phone calls during the break, Michael, you were pointing out that we've had a lot of A lot of reason to hope recently. | ||
| You said you're feeling very hopeful over the last few weeks. | ||
| Good Lord, here on a Friday afternoon, hope is what we need going into the weekend. | ||
| What's making you feel hopeful? Just the pile-on of all the things that have been happening. | ||
| The revelations. Yeah, yeah. | ||
| And we were talking about when Woody Harrelson went on Saturday Night Live and flipped the script on them. | ||
| Obviously, the hearings about the Twitter files. | ||
| The release of the January 6th videos. | ||
| Just on and on. | ||
| You just see so many people coming out and speaking out against what's happening and this need for all of us to come together. | ||
| We were talking about Roseanne Barr. | ||
| And just so many people that recognize what's happening and the need to push back on this change. | ||
| Another thing why this whole banking collapse has come at such a, you know... | ||
| At such a time that all of a sudden now all the focus becomes that and everything else kind of is swept under the rug. | ||
| But I'm not selling, like I said, I'm not giving hopium to, but we do need to have that hope. | ||
| And there are good people like yourself and lots of other people that are out there working towards some sort of resolution, some sort of change. | ||
| Again, it's important for everybody out there that's listening. | ||
| You were just plugging in. | ||
| It blows my mind that only 1% of the Infowars audience actually buys products from you guys. | ||
| It's incredible because... And it's said over and over that it's up to us, it's up to everybody out there whether InfoWars continues. | ||
| Now, I'm a branch of the InfoWars, you know, family. | ||
| And if InfoWars goes to the wayside and is no longer here, people like me and lots of other people... | ||
| Who are branches of this tree will be gone if it wasn't for you and Owen and Alex giving me the opportunities to come on and talk about my experience and give my opinions. | ||
| I wouldn't have had a voice back in 2018 when I was viciously attacked just for sharing Paul Joseph Watson, Alex Jones, and Mark Dice articles. | ||
| I would have nowhere to go. | ||
| So again, it's so important if you haven't bought products to absolutely buy products. | ||
| Another thing is the attack against us, the chemicals in the water and the chemicals in our foods, the attack that's coming from that angle. | ||
| It's way important that we take care of our bodies so that our minds can be clear, that our spirits can be clear in all of the products that are available. | ||
| Offered through InfoWars will help that and get us to better health so that we can focus and rise to the level that we need to be at. | ||
| Please, if you've never supported, support. | ||
| And if you are supporting, maybe buy something extra for somebody else and get them on board. | ||
| Yeah, I appreciate it. And the way I like to picture it is, like, right now Infowars is the battleship. | ||
| And we're arrayed against a massive army, armada, rather, of just, like, aircraft carriers and battleships, modern battleships. | ||
| And we're just, like, in this... You know, trium or sailing wooden ship just like Captain Alex Jones. | ||
| We're loading the cannons and fighting back. | ||
| And if InfoWars goes away, it's not like we all drowned, but now we're all little rowboats. | ||
| And we'll all be little rowboats going in our own direction. | ||
| I'd much rather have all of our energies and all of our expertise hyper-focused on this one mission, keeping this boat afloat and in the fight and menacing the enemy rather than separating and breaking apart and we're all just... | ||
| You know, our own little guys spinning in circles because we only have one or. | ||
| So yeah, support InfoWars. | ||
| We really do appreciate it. | ||
| We really are all in and dedicated to this mission. | ||
| Let's go to phone calls now. We have... | ||
| Who do we want to go to? | ||
| There's somebody with a really interesting topic they want to talk about. | ||
| Eric in Ohio. Michael and I were sort of intrigued by this during the break. | ||
| You say there's a... You wanted to discuss the difference between sacrifice and transcendence. | ||
| Go ahead. You're on the air. Hey there, Harrison. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey there, Michael. Good morning. Howdy. | |
| So, not to try and be too long-winded about it all, but let's say we're all facing a monster, and I go running in and jump into the mouth of the monster to sacrifice myself. | ||
| I've done nothing but horrify everybody else that's standing there. | ||
| So I need to at least take out an eyeball or go down the throat with my knife and transcend the situation to make it better, right? | ||
| And so, like what Michael was saying earlier, it's about intention. | ||
| Right. And if you don't know what is and understand reality as it is, your understanding, your belief, your faith is not going to be correct to what the reality is. | ||
| And so, like a lot of people modern day think their transcendence is just replacing one thing for another, like our sex, our gender, whatever. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? Yep. And this is just, I'm just kind of sounding board some of this stuff. | ||
| I want to hear where you guys feel about this too. | ||
| Well, I've thought about this exact thing when it comes to the Alamo, right? | ||
| The Alamo, all the guys sacrificed their lives, 186 guys, but by doing that, they gave the two weeks that the rest of the Texian revolutionaries needed to get their stuff in order and actually win the fight. | ||
| So, I'm willing to sacrifice myself. | ||
| I'm more than happy to fight in Alamo 2.0, but... | ||
| If you're just doing that and then Santana sweeps over you and wins the war, then what was your sacrifice worth? | ||
| There's got to be something that you know that your sacrifice is paving the way for. | ||
| And in the case of the guys at the Alamo, the creation of Texas was guaranteed if they could hold this position, and so they did. | ||
| So to me, I'll throw myself down the throat of the monster, but only if I know that by doing that, I'm giving a greater chance to the people that come behind me. | ||
| What's your take on that, Michael? | ||
| Yeah, again, it's intention, right? | ||
| If you intend to be a celebrity or you intend to be famous by throwing yourself into the mouth of the monster, then what's the point? | ||
| Because it's just a selfish thing. | ||
| You're just working for yourself. | ||
| But if your intention is good and to then perpetuate that good through your life and your actions, then that's a completely different story so that when you do, like you guys, like Alex Jones, when you get to a point where you have millions of people that are paying attention to you, It's not just because, hey, look at me. | ||
| I got millions of people watching me. | ||
| It's your intention to spread truth and goodness and perpetuate that throughout culture, throughout this world, so that we can build something better. | ||
| We have to build something better. | ||
| We have to build the kingdom here. | ||
| So when you see billions of dollars just outflowing from the American taxpayer government going over to Ukraine for what? | ||
| To destroy Ukraine? | ||
| That just doesn't make any sense. | ||
| Why wouldn't we spend billions and billions of dollars to build ourselves up? | ||
| It's... Yeah. | ||
| 100%. Absolutely. | ||
| Really interesting question, Eric, or distinction, transcendence and sacrifice. | ||
| There's got to be... | ||
| They're not one and the same. | ||
| Really interesting stuff. Quickly, we'll go to Andy in Minnesota. | ||
| You had a question for Michael Graves. | ||
| You met him before. We only have about a minute left, so make it quick, Andy, but you're on the air. | ||

Awesome. It's awesome to talk to you guys. | |
| I've been a fan of Misfits since I was a child, and Michael Graves has always been a heavy influence to me. | ||
| And I met you, dude. You're awesome, man. | ||
| My cousin plays the drums for the band Tool, and I've been a fan of his since I was a kid, too, along the same lines of Misfits. | ||
| And when I look at all the Tool symbolism, it seems kind of scary, you know, when they talk about having an open mind. | ||
| Is there anything behind all that? | ||
| Do you know those guys or anything? | ||
| I don't know the guys from Tool. | ||
| Back in the 90s, I shared a bill with them. | ||
| We would play together. | ||
| But I don't know those guys. | ||
| Great band, though. Incredible, incredible music. | ||
| From their lyrics, they seem like they know what's up. | ||
| We play Schism as an intro song on this show. | ||
| It's really powerful stuff. | ||
| And the lyrics that I've read of theirs, they seem to be on the ball about a lot of stuff. | ||
| Pretty interesting. But, you know, that's art, right? | ||
| It's your interpretation and maybe how they intended it might not be how other people interpret it. | ||
| And that's just a fact of humanity. | ||
| Well, this hour has flown by. | ||
| I can't believe it's already over. Michael Graves, everyone, on Twitter at Radio Deadly. | ||
| Radio Deadly can be found on censored.tv. | ||
