Welcome back to the American Journal, folks.
I'm your host today, Chase Geyser, filling in for the great Harrison Smith.
He'll be back with us next week.
Crazy, crazy week this week.
Just when I think it can't get any crazier, they go and do something like this and totally redeem themselves.
So, looks like Trump's finally getting indicted.
It's strange because I never thought that they would accuse Trump of anything that he didn't do.
I never thought that we would get to this point where they just start slinging things at Trump in the hopes that something would finally stick.
But they finally actually made a formal accusation against President Trump.
And here we are.
I don't understand how anyone could possibly believe any accusation against Trump at this point.
I tweeted something to this effect recently on my Twitter profile.
After all of the lies that they have told about Trump, it just amazes me that anyone believes any of the accusations against him at this point.
We saw the accusations against him of...
Quid pro quo, where they tried to accuse him of leveraging the relationship with Zelensky, of all people, in order to investigate his opponent.
While, on the other hand, we see all sorts of examples of the left leveraging their relationships in order to make Trump look bad.
So I just, I mean, I can't believe that this is coming back up.
It's like they can't even find anything new either.
And so they have to go to really old stuff.
Like the whole Stormy Daniels scandal is so passe.
It's such an old scandal.
And the funniest thing about it to me is basically what's happening here is they're saying that Trump had sex with a porn star and had to pay her not to brag about it.
So we're supposed to vote for Joe Biden?
And what really sickens me about this whole thing is while we see an indictment against Trump for his alleged crimes, there's still not been an indictment against Hunter Biden for his many crimes.
Or an indictment against Joe Biden for his crimes while he was Vice President of the United States.
Where he leveraged his position as Vice President of the United States in order to get money for his crimes.
I mean, the laptop evidence is far superior to any hard evidence that they could possibly have against Donald Trump.
And honestly, I don't know if Trump had an affair with Stormy Daniels or not.
I don't know if any of it's true.
I know there's mixed reports.
There's mixed claims. I've heard allegations or suggestions that even Stormy Daniels said it didn't happen.
I don't know. I don't care if it happened.
Honestly, I don't care at all if Donald Trump had an affair with Stormy Daniels and paid her $50,000 or whatever the number was to not talk about it.
Doesn't bother me one bit.
We celebrate John F. Kennedy like he was some sort of hero because he got his head blown off and he was obviously banging Marilyn Monroe while he was married to Jackie Kennedy.
What's the big deal? I don't understand.
After all of the abuse that the Bidens have done on women, after all the cover-ups that Joe Biden and Jill Biden have done in order to make sure that no one found out that Hunter Biden was abusing his underaged relative?
And you're saying that it's somehow unethical because Donald Trump slept with someone who is famous for taking money to sleep with people on camera?
I just... This is beyond me, but we're going to dive in in the next segment.
On some of the dynamics around this.
We're going to read some of the articles about the indictment specifically.
We're going to show some examples of the Joe Biden hypocrisy.
We're going to take a look at what Ron DeSantis had to say about it yesterday.
So stick with us through the next break.
This is going to be a good morning. In the second hour, we're going to be taking some calls.
I'm not sure if we're going to have a guest or not in the third hour.
Hopefully we can get somebody on with some attorney experience to talk a little bit about this indictment as well.
But stay tuned and make sure to visit Infowarsstore.com.
Get something for the Easter basket.
We've got some great deals on the site at this time, and we'll be back very soon.
unidentified
So different and so new.
Welcome back to the American Journal.
Happy Friday, ladies and gentlemen.
chase geiser
Boy, oh boy.
Friendly coming after him.
And honestly, I don't know what's going to happen.
I don't know if they're actually going to get a conviction.
And if they do get a conviction, I don't even know what that means for a candidate, President of the United States.
Maybe it's not even a big deal.
But they've clearly been trying since 2016 to simply make the man ineligible for the presidency.
Frankly, I think it's because they know they can't beat him.
And I know that they beat him in 2020.
And regardless of whether or not the election was legitimate or not, he is not the President of the United States as we speak.
So they found a way to beat him.
They may have cheated, but they beat him.
Let's just face it. And I think that's one of the interesting criticisms from Jordan Peterson of Donald Trump is...
Jordan Peterson said something to the effect of Donald Trump insisting on an election fraud as the excuse for losing the election Was actually against his brand, right?
His brand, Donald Trump's brand, is the brand of a winner.
And winners don't lose to cheaters, right?
I think that's a good point. I don't think that the election was legitimate, necessarily.
I'm not sure how I feel about the Dominion voting machines or the mail-in ballots or the ballot harvesting.
I'm not sure if that's how it was illegitimate or not.
I have mixed feelings about it.
I haven't seen a convincing argument either way.
I've looked into it. And there's a lot of speculation on both sides.
There's a lot of excuses on both sides.
So I don't know how I feel about that.
But I do know that the COVID pandemic was a fraud.
Obviously, COVID happened.
There was something that was going around that came from the Wuhan lab.
But I think that they use the pandemic as an excuse, as a way to leverage the powers, the dormant powers of the government against President Trump.
They knew that President Trump could not lose the election if the economy was as strong as it was in 2019.
They knew that everybody was doing well.
Everyone was making more. My business was doing 25% better in 2019 than it is now.
They knew that taxes were low, everybody felt good, optimism was high, the stock market was at record highs, and they knew that they couldn't beat them unless there was some sort of big catastrophe.
And it couldn't be like a war or anything like that because typically wartime presidents are re-elected, right?
After the election of George Bush...
When 9-11 happened, his approval ratings went through the roof, and he easily won his second term.
So if there was some sort of an international conflict that brought America together, it wasn't going to be the ticket that they needed, that the leftists needed, in order to get Donald Trump out of office.
There had to be some sort of catastrophe that could not be blamed on any foreign enemy.
That would absolutely wreck the United States economy.
What could that be?
Maybe a hurricane.
Maybe a meteorite.
But those sorts of things aren't sorts of things that the leftists have the power to conjure on a whim.
But a pandemic.
Now, that is something that they could weasel their way into our reality.
And so regardless of whether the leak was intentional or not, it was exploited.
And they covered up that it came from the Wuhan lab because they knew that if China could be blamed for releasing this pandemic upon the earth...
That no one would hold Trump accountable for the failure of the American economy or the lockdowns that occurred as a result of it.
They knew that as long as no one could be blamed but Mother Nature herself...
They could use that to weasel in a victory, and so that's what they did.
The pandemic leaked.
China shut down Wuhan travel within China, but allowed flights in and out of the country, in and out of Wuhan, internationally, no problem, for weeks and months.
Some reports suggest that the virus was leaked from the lab as early as September of 2019, which means in September, October, November, December, and And then January, that's almost five months, it's almost half a year that we have this virus spreading quietly internationally while reports of a very high flu season were coming out because we didn't know what it was for several months.
China knew the whole time.
They let it spread across the entire world, violating their treaties with the world that required them to report such a novel virus from existing, from manifesting out of their country.
And by allowing it to spread and fostering this pandemic quietly, they were able to cripple the entire global economy, to shut down countless businesses, including restaurants, small business, basically anybody in the middle class suffered.
And then there's the wealthy elite who have all of their wealth in the stock market.
The billionaires, the multimillionaires.
We don't want to hurt them while we try to sabotage the Trump presidency.
So what do we do?
We print money and we pump it into the banks.
And then what do we do is we eliminate the requirement for the banks to have reserves of the deposits.
So instead of requiring banks to maintain at least 10% of the money that's deposited in the banks, We say, how about 0%?
We need to stimulate the economy because there's a pandemic going on.
And so what do the banks do with all the money?
They buy treasuries or they invest the money in the stock market.
So we have a situation in which virtually no one is working.
Businesses are going under, but the stock market is reaching record highs because all of this cash has been flushed into the market.
And we have the entire political class, the entire wealthy class, the political industrial complex of America making huge gains off of the stock market rise despite the fact that the economy is at a virtual standstill.
And it's not deemed the fault of any foreign enemy.
It's not deemed China's fault because all the big tech companies in cahoots with the FBI and the CIA and all the intelligence community and deep state assets that were influencing all of these platforms, they all agreed to censor the lab leak theory.
And to call anyone who believed that maybe this came from Wuhan a racist or a conspiracy theorist or an Alex Jones loon.
Let me tell you something.
Alex Jones was right more times than one.
And it was China's fault.
And it was our fault, too, because we outsourced the illegal research laws.
Of gain-of-function technology to Wuhan.
It became illegal here, so we said, you know what, we'll just fund China to do it over there, and now look what happened.
We did the same thing with slavery, actually.
Slavery became illegal in the United States, I believe, in 1865.
Emancipation Proclamation, of course, after the war, was enforceable.
And do you think that the United States doesn't use slavery today?
We know that slavery is actually at an all-time high if you include things like human trafficking.
But if you look at any cobalt mine that makes the batteries in our MacBooks or in our Teslas or in our iPhones...
That's practically human slavery.
People working for a dollar a day or maybe three dollars a day max or three dollars a week or whatever the astronomically low number is.
Children working because their hands are small and they can get in.
We've got children working in factories because their nimble little fingers can work with the small devices that we then ship to leftists in North America so they can log into Twitter and complain about the patriarchy.
Everything that we make illegal in this country that benefits the political industrial complex, we simply outsource to countries with less freedom.
I want you to stick with us.
We're going to talk more about this after the break.
Make sure you visit Infowarsstore.com and get something for the Easter basket.
We've got Easter coming up this year.
Don't forget what that means for our country, for our culture.
Get the Alex Jones was right shirt.
They've got a new shirt.
Out to the Alex Jones for President shirt, which I really like.
But this is just an old standard.
I think it's a classic. Make sure you check it out on Infowarsstore.com.
I ordered a bunch for friends, and I like to order them with the backpack that they have on the store as well.
That backpack is actually great because you buy the backpack and throw all the other stuff that you buy in it and give it as a gift.
I did that for a very close friend of mine recently, and he absolutely loved it.
Stick with us.
After this break, we're going to be diving more into the corruption against President Trump.
Welcome back to the American Journal, folks, where we are snapping necks and cashing checks at InfoWarsStore.com.
Get your Alex Jones was right shirt if you want to look as beautiful as me.
I want to read through the CNN coverage of the Trump indictments right here at the beginning of this segment.
We've got a great video we're going to show you at the end of the segment, and next hour we will be taking calls.
We did line up a guest for the third hour as well, the great Matthew Culkin, to discuss the indictment and what's really going on in our country.
Donald Trump indicted by a Manhattan grand jury on more than 30 counts related to business fraud.
This was just yesterday on CNN. Donald Trump faces more than 30 counts related to business fraud in an indictment from a Manhattan grand jury according to two sources familiar with the case.
The first time in American history that a current or former president has faced criminal charges.
Now what I think is so ironic about this and disappointing about this is when I spoke with Jack Maxey about the Hunter Biden laptop, he said within the first 20 minutes of looking through a laptop, he saw dozens of federal crimes.
And this laptop, of course, has been in the possession of the FBI for years.
This laptop, of course, was in the possession of Republicans and Democrats for years.
This laptop, of course, was in possession of major media outlets for years with all the evidence written out with explicit claims of Hunter Biden's crimes and not just Hunter Biden's crimes.
Everyone's always like, Hunter Biden's not running for president.
Why are you so worried about Hunter Biden?
He's not running for president. These crimes are not just Hunter Biden's crimes.
There's explicit evidence of the crimes of the vice president at the time of course which was Joe Biden.
No indictments. No indictments.
But maybe Donald Trump maybe slept with a porn star maybe 20 years ago, 15 years ago, and maybe he paid her off.
And maybe he did it with his own money, or maybe he did it with campaign funds.
You honestly think he couldn't come up with 50 grand to pay her off himself?
It's like, ugh, this is just asinine.
Trump is expected to appear in court on Tuesday.
The indictment has been filed under seal and will be announced in the coming days.
The charges are not publicly known at this time.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office has been investigating the former president in connection with his alleged role in a hush money payment scheme and cover-up involving adult film star Stormy Daniels that dates to the 2016 presidential election.
Frankly, the most disappointing thing to me about this is that Stormy Daniels is not like even in the top 50 hottest porn stars.
I mean, come on, bro.
Could have done better. Grand jury proceedings are secret, but a source familiar with the case told CNN that a witness gave about 30 minutes of testimony before it voted to indict Trump.
So somebody went up there and just made a testimony for 30 minutes, and the jury's like, okay, we'll indict him.
The decision is sure to send shockwaves across the country, pushing the American political system, which has never seen one of its ex-leaders.
I like how they say ex-leaders instead of former leaders.
It's like you never call a Marine an ex-Marine.
You always call them a former Marine, right?
Because once a Marine, always a Marine.
Ex-leaders, like we broke up with them.
Confronted with criminal charges, let alone while running again for president into uncharted waters.
Trump released a statement in response to the indictment claiming it was political persecution and election interference at the highest level in history.
All right, this is trash. So I'm just going to throw that away because I can't handle listening to CNN anymore.
We'll cover the Trump statement shortly.
But before we do that, I just want to get in to what this really means for our country.
I have a close friend in our neighborhood.
Great guy. And he's from Rome.
Born and raised in Rome.
Immigrated to the United States as an adult.
And he was telling me a little bit about the political system in Italy.
And a lot of the Italians are very excited about the current dynamic.
I believe they just elected a populist leader.
So there's sort of a populist resurgence happening in their country at this time.
But there was a leader years ago, according to my friend, much like...
Donald Trump. This is someone that had a populist message, someone that was a very wealthy media mogul.
Went into office, started making all sorts of changes, then of course was charged with all sorts of crimes, and now is ineligible to run for office in Italy.
And so what we see from the leftists, and it's not just the leftists, this is what we see throughout history of all the politically corrupt leaders in power.
If they can't beat you, they don't join you, they kill you.
Whether it's a character assassination, whether it's rendering it illegal for you to run for office, or whether it's just plain killing you.
If you actually look into the conspiracy to kill Caesar, it's very interesting.
And Trump was actually quite a bit like Caesar.
And I don't mean to liken him to Caesar because Caesar was a dictator.
He wasn't like Caesar in that way because I don't believe by any means that Trump is a dictator.
And frankly, I think that every leftist leader that we've had has been much more like a dictator than the right-wing ones that we've had.
Of course, they all expand their own power with record numbers of executive orders.
But with the conspiracy to kill Julius Caesar, we had a few senators just quietly whispering.
And the fascinating part of it is after they stabbed him some 47 times.
I can't remember the exact number. It's some astronomical number.
After they all, the mob of senators, stabbed him.
They ran through the streets shouting and announcing to the people of Rome that they had been liberated from this dictator.
They thought that the Roman people would be so relieved, would be celebrating the death of Julius Caesar.
They thought that they had saved Rome.
But this political class in ancient Rome was so out of touch with its own people They didn't realize that they had actually infuriated the people for the people loved Julius Caesar.
Yes, Julius Caesar was dictator.
Yes, he was dictator for life.
But he hadn't done anything to fail the people yet.
So the people celebrated him as this champion against a corrupt political class.
And when they had his funeral...
The people of Rome threw their furniture and all of their belongings onto the funeral pyre and they nearly burned the entire forum down.
Look it up. It's on Wikipedia of all places.
No reason for anybody to lie about what happened in Rome.
But the people were so angry with the assassination of their beloved leader, That they almost burned down the entire forum by throwing whatever they had, as poor as they were, wooden chairs, wooden tables, their own clothes, into this pyre so the fire spread and spread and spread and spread.
And the Senate was baffled.
Oh my God, what have we done?
This is exactly what's happening with Trump.
Our politicians are too cowardly.
They're not bold enough to kill Donald Trump outright.
And even if they were, they probably couldn't pull it off.
But they know that it would be a nightmare if they did.
And so what do they do instead?
They render him as if he were dead.
That's what they're doing. They're trying to render him dead.
Just like they did in Italy with this leader my friend was telling me about from years ago.
By rendering it impossible for him to run for office again.
And this is what they're doing with Donald Trump.
They don't give a damn what the people think, what the people need, what the people want.
They see a threat to their attempted conglomeration of power, their attempted globalization of all that was America, the watering down of our representation.
Donald Trump is a threat to everything they intend to do to gain and maintain their power at the expense of the American people and so they're doing everything they can to make it impossible for him to even run for election again and that's why we have to fight and fight and fight and throw our clothes throw our furniture into the fire that they have set and burn it down This of course is a metaphor.
Don't actually start any fires.
Stick with us, folks.
More after this break.
alex jones
We're here on the evening of Thursday, March 30th, 2023, and this is a historic milestone for the American Republic, just a little and this is a historic milestone for the American Republic, just a little over
Whether it's a liberal analyst or a Republican analyst, every historian agrees no U.S. president, former or current, has ever been indicted by a state grand jury, not even by the feds, because you become a banana republic right away.
Throughout history for thousands of years, and constant examples around the world in the 20th century and in the first 23 years of the 21st century, we see third world countries in Latin America, Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, indicting presidents and prime ministers to remove them from office and frustrate and block the will of the voters. indicting presidents and prime ministers to remove them from office They hate Donald Trump.
And this Soros-funded DA ran on indicting Trump for something.
Now, remember, even the weaponized Justice Department passed on the Stormy Daniels and on the Mandugal so-called hush money.
The statute of limitations is only five years.
This happened seven years ago.
This is totally illegal, but it shows you how incredibly desperate they are right now and that nothing's off the table.
Just like Biden said eight months ago, you can't When he sent Abrams tanks to Ukraine, that's World War III in the threat escalation.
Now he does it. All of the common sense, all the checks and balances that were there, that the elites lived by because they were protecting themselves, not us, are being thrown out the window.
This is the recklessness that always is a hallmark.
A harbinger of real collapse and destruction.
The banks are falling apart. The borders are gone.
Human smuggling is going on everywhere.
Just absolute evil is unfolding around us.
We've forgotten God, and we really are a cursed nation.
It's now time to pray, to call for peace.
Nobody should be violent over this.
I'm really concerned they could stage a false flag or provocateur something.
They've really primed the media that Republicans are going to be violent.
That's the last thing we need.
We're not Antifa. We're not the left.
I want to play an exclusive statement we just got minutes ago from Roger Stone.
He's been through what Trump's been through.
We're going to play that statement that Owen Schroer read President Trump's statements just minutes ago before his live show ended at 6 p.m.
Central. We'll obviously be on my Friday show, myself, Owen Schroer, Roger Stone, and many others covering all this tomorrow at 11 a.m.
Central Time, 8 a.m., Harrison Smith.
Trump has pledged to fight on.
He says this will end up backfiring on Biden.
Absolutely true, but Biden himself is just a puppet.
They're going for broke. This means they will literally do anything.
Think of the Hunter Biden laptop.
Think of the Chinese espionage.
Think of all the Russian money to the Bidens.
Think of all the open corruption.
Think of Burisma. Think of the energy scams.
Think of 10% of the big guy.
And the whole country and the whole world is seeing this.
And polls showed Trump was neck and neck with DeSantis until they started this indictment talk two weeks ago.
He's 25 points ahead.
So again, why would they recklessly do this?
Because if they're damned if they do, they're damned if they don't.
So this is the season of them staging terror attacks and blaming it on Trump supporters.
So let's get out ahead of this and say, we're not for violence, and they have the motive to do it.
So here's Roger Stone's exclusive statement.
Then Owen Schroeder reading a statement from President Trump.
But regardless, I was on the fence about supporting Trump.
The last few weeks, I said, OK, I'm for Trump over to Sanis, because Trump's been anti-World War III. We've got to get behind Trump because they're coming after all of our rights to pick a president or pick other leaders.
And if this beta test by the Soros DA, he controls most DAs in the country, works, they're going to do this to everybody.
They're trying to indict me.
They're trying to indict Rand Paul.
They're trying to indict everybody, ladies and gentlemen.
And if they can't get the feds to do it, Soros controls over 2,000 DAs and district attorneys and 22 attorney generals of the state.
So this is total weaponized law enforcement against the people where they let mass shooters out a couple days after they kill people, where they let pedophiles out, but say that somebody who might have given money to a high-end prostitute...
That that person needs to go to prison, even if it's true, and there's no evidence it is.
This is so dangerous.
Here's Roger Stone's statement, then President Trump's statement, and I'll see you tomorrow, 11 a.m.
Central, Infowars.com, and Ban.Video.
They're doing this not out of strength, but out of deep state desperation because we're winning culturally, we're winning politically, so now they're hoping to turn the heat up, going into the summer for a summer of rage and try to provoke a civil war similar to what's happening in Israel, the Netherlands, and France right now.
We don't want violence.
We want a cultural revolution of ideas.
unidentified
Now, here are the statements. As I said on the Alex Jones show today, Donald Trump is the victim of a vicious political prosecution that has no basis in law or fact.
I am one of the few people in the country who can understand how the president must feel at this exact moment.
President Trump has made it very clear that he would plead not guilty to any charges filed in New York or Georgia, as well as any federal charges that may be filed against us.
We don't know today the extent of the actual indictment itself, so I will reserve comment on that.
But now is a time for all Americans to pray for both Donald Trump and our country.
owen shroyer
Let me just read the full statement for you now from Donald J. Trump.
This is political persecution and election interference at the highest level in history.
From the time I came down the golden escalator at Trump Tower and even before I was sworn in as your president of the United States, the radical left Democrats, the enemy of the hardest working men and women of this country, have been engaged in a witch hunt to destroy the Make America Great Again movement.
You remember it just like I do.
Russia, Russia, Russia. The Mueller hoax.
Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine. Impeachment hoax one.
Impeachment hoax two. And the illegal, unconstitutional Mar-a-Lago raid.
Now this. Alright, let me just pause right there because I can't help myself before I go on.
You know, I just have a hard time sympathizing with Donald Trump on this because you were the president.
You said you were going to drain the swamp.
You didn't do it. Okay?
So, I mean, I'm gonna defend the truth.
I don't have to defend Donald Trump.
I'm gonna defend the truth.
And I've suffered for supporting Donald Trump as much as almost anybody, except maybe a Roger Stone.
There's very few others who have suffered as much as I have for the support of Donald Trump.
But... That does not change the fact that I'm going to be honest about Donald Trump.
And you, Donald Trump, said you would drain the swamp, and now you didn't, and so the swamp is coming after you?
And you want sympathy from us, who are getting crushed by the swamp too?
We elected you to get these blood-sucking vampires off of our freaking neck!
And you want sympathy because they're on yours?
unidentified
They're on ours! We made you president to get them out of here!
owen shroyer
So I'm sorry that I'm having a little trouble being sympathetic for the man Donald Trump when he said he would drain the swamp and now they're draining him.
But I don't have to defend Donald Trump.
I have to defend the truth. Trump is obviously innocent.
This is obviously political persecution.
And the Democrats are obviously the most corrupt political party in American history.
Continuing from Donald Trump's statement.
The Democrats have lied, cheated, and stolen their obsession with trying to get Trump.
But now they've done the unthinkable, indicting a completely innocent person in an act of blatant election interference.
Never before in our nation's history has this been done.
The Democrats have cheated countless times over the decades, including spying on my campaign, weaponizing our justice system to punish a political opponent who just so happens to be a president of the United States and by far the leading Republican candidate for president.
This has never happened before.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who was handpicked and funded by George Soros, is a disgrace.
Tried to warn you about Soros.
Rather than stopping the unprecedented crime wave taking over New York City, He's doing Joe Biden's dirty work ignoring the murders and burglaries and assaults he should be focused on.
You know, it's funny though. Alvin Bragg promised to arrest Donald Trump.
He delivered on his promise.
Donald Trump promised to drain the swamp and, well, here we are.
I believe this witch hunt will backfire massively on Joe Biden.
The American people realize exactly what the radical left Democrats are doing here.
Everyone can see it.
So our movement and our party, united and strong, will first defeat Alvin Bragg and then we will defeat Joe Biden and we are going to throw every last one of these crooked Democrats out of office so we can make America great again.

What we see here is a nation that remembers what it was like the last time they supported Nazis and has decided never again.
unidentified
Thank you.
chase geiser
It's funny when you think about it because it seems that The Russians are the only nation that has actually consistently fought against Nazis for the last nearly 100 years.
Of course, in 2033 it'll be the 100 year mark of the party's power in Germany.
And now they've taken hold in Ukraine, backed by our very own tax dollars.
We'll be taking calls in this hour.
I want to take a very quick one.
We've only got two minutes left in this segment.
Indy Luke from Indiana.
It's good to hear from you again today.
Indy Luke, how are you, sir?
Awesome. What's up, man?
unidentified
Sweet. Chase Geiger, dude.
chase geiser
What's up, man? It's good to hear from you.
How are you doing today? It's been a long time.
How's the last 24 hours been for you?
unidentified
I know, man.
I just wanted to call in to say what's up.
Represent the TMI chat.
And I actually had a proposition, bro, for you.
chase geiser
Oh, well, I am already married, so as long as it's something else.
unidentified
Oh, no, no. It ain't like that.
No, no. Protect your pride holes, America.
Protect your pride holes. Anyway.
We wanted to see if you wanted to join our Discord.
chase geiser
Yeah, I got the link.
I will be joining the Discord.
Why don't you tell everybody about it?
unidentified
Oh... So, our Discord, we have like 80 Infowarriors in that Discord.
It is lit. It is lit.
chase geiser
How long have you been doing it?
unidentified
We're awesome people, though. I've only been a part of it for a freaking month, dude.
chase geiser
And you're loving it? A month.
unidentified
Dude, I can't say enough about these awesome people, dude.
Like... It's amazing to just get involved.
You know what I'm saying? Yeah, absolutely.
chase geiser
It is empowering. And in a time when I know that I feel powerless, that's why I started my podcast and started doing this sort of thing.
It's just like, what else can I do?
And it's just really nice to know that there are millions of us that feel the same way.
unidentified
Man, and it's like, I'm just so thankful.
I want to be, I feel like Alex sometimes, dude.
Yeah. I want to get up there with a megaphone.
I want to scream this, you know, from the top of the mountain.
Like, I've been watching Infowars for 12 years, man, and I recently started getting involved.
chase geiser
Hey, we're about ready to go to break, but I want to make sure that before we go to the next break, you can share the name of the Discord so people can look it up.
unidentified
Okay, it's, uh, well, follow me on, or follow me at Indie Luke on Gitter and Twitter.
Uh, Big Fred 999.
B-I-G-F-R-E-D 999 on Rumble.
chase geiser
Okay, awesome. Well, stick with us, folks.
We're going to be taking more calls in our next segment.
unidentified
877-789-2539.
Welcome back to the American Journal, folks.
chase geiser
This hour, we are taking calls and breaking balls.
Make sure you call in 877-789-2539.
First up, I want to talk to Jay in Arkansas.
Jay, it is good to hear from you again, sir.
unidentified
How are you? I'm old, I'm fat, and I'm bald.
chase geiser
I got big issues. Hey, man, you need to get some super male vitality.
jay in indiana
I got it. I got them all.
I got all the supplements. I'm doing all right.
chase geiser
All right. What's up, man? What's on your mind?
jay in indiana
You know, this morning I was listening to a competitor there, the Patriot Channel, and I get on and they kind of rushed me off there because I started talking about the truth.
And, you know, there's a lot going on in the world.
And what's scary is I listened to an interview with Alex Hadd.
I think his name was Grider or something.
He writes accords to stop wars.
He was talking about how close we are to blowing the world up.
He said, what can I do?
Alex said, well, what can we do?
He says, I'd go home and have a drink.
He says, it could be like the last one, you know?
But I listened to all of the interviews of all of the All of the people on Infowars and span that video.
But, you know, Trump, is this maybe like a magic trick?
Like, look over here while we're doing this over there, giving billions of dollars away to the Ukraine and collapsing the country and killing everybody with these inoculations and, you know, I'm almost at a point where I'm so disgusted with everything.
I consume a lot of media, and I totally, that little skit that Owen Troyer just put on before you came on there, you know, how he was mad at Trump.
I don't even think, you know, he should have drained the swamp.
He should have never left the office.
What can the American people do?
I mean, we can gather up.
We need a general. Yeah.
General Flynn, he mentioned...
Go to all the courthouses and all the state houses and surround them on 4th of July.
And I think, you know, bring your arms.
You don't have to use them.
Just let them see, hey, we're a great nation with a lot of people that have grievances.
You know, let's go back to the Constitution, the law that was written in the Constitution by the founders of the country.
We need checks and balances, and really we need to get these Well, I've got a couple of thoughts on that.
chase geiser
My first thought on that is, yes, Trump said he was going to drain the swamp and it didn't happen.
However, I think that he assumed that he was going to have eight years to do it.
So I'm going to give Trump the benefit of the doubt on that.
The second thing is, when you ask the question, what can we do?
The answer is always...
never something you actually want to do, right?
Like anything worth doing is always hard work.
And the answer is to start making calls for candidates that you believe in, right?
So if you're voting for Trump, and this is something that I'm planning on doing this cycle, the best thing you can do is volunteer for the Trump campaign.
And the reason I recommend that is because I know people who volunteered in the 2016 cycle, and they were going to the call center at their local Republican Party every day, and they were making calls, and they were provided with a list of numbers to call, and they were provided with a script of what to say.
And the campaign, the party, had different scripts every single day based on whatever the hot issue was.
It was constantly changing, right?
Yeah. As an individual, it's hard to know what messaging to use when, but as either a campaign, as heavily funded as these presidential campaigns are, or as a party, as heavily funded as the Republican Party is, they do have the things like the focus groups and the data analysts and all of the resources needed to know what the messaging needs to be.
So if you really want to make a difference, in my opinion, over the next cycle, volunteer for the Trump campaign directly rather than the Republican Party, because the Republican Party can't help with any specific campaign We're good to go.
Any anxiety you have about being hung up on or being yelled at by somebody that you call, that's the way to do it.
You have to knock and walk or dial and talk.
I mean, that's just as simple as that.
But thank you so much for your call. I really do appreciate it.
I do want to hear next from Pastor Sam in Mexico.
Pastor Sam, what do you have to say today?
unidentified
Hey, Chase. It's good to hear from you.
Good to hear from you. Nice to see you face in the info war.
chase geiser
Can you hear me okay? Yeah, you sound great.
unidentified
I apologize for my international line.
Sounds great. Yeah, I have a lot to say.
I've been a friend of the Info War for a lot of years, and probably Alex and I agree 95% of the time.
But these stand-down calls, he's really mad at me, too, for disagreeing.
When he comes out and says, stand down, everybody be cool.
And I understand that in the U.S. today, 500 agents would kick in the door of InfoWars and burn it down like Waco if he issued a real call to arms.
It's not something that he has the opportunity to do.
Myself, this is why I live in Mexico, so that I can continue to broadcast.
Listen, everything you're saying, I already did it.
I caucused in Iowa.
I caucused for Trump.
I volunteered for the Trump campaign and for the Republican Party.
chase geiser
Thanks.
unidentified
And then that election was just stolen right out from under us.
So what I want to say today is, listen, it's all fun and games on the chessboard until your team is in check.
And then it is game over.
It's game over.
You have to get out of check.
That's the rule of the game.
Your only other option is to pick your king and surrender.
And that's what any apathy right now will be doing, is surrendering to the wicked.
Just letting the pedophiles rule.
So I think people should really consider that it's for all the marbles right now.
It's for all the marbles this time.
Chase, I have a worldwide radio show Great name for a website, by the way, GospelGunslingers.com.
You got it. I love it, man.
And so, we're trying to keep free speech alive.
I appreciate everything that Alex has done for years and all of you who, I know it's not just a job to come in and work for InfoWars, but right now, it's time for everyone to think that it's game over.
chase geiser
Yeah, you know, you're a pastor, right?
I am. So let me ask you this.
You know, Jesus famously said, those who live by the sword die by the sword.
unidentified
And I'm curious. Well, there's a reason why we chose that for our name.
Tell me about it. Because I am daily teaching on our patriarchs, Bible doctrines, the people that founded the United States and then led all the other nations of the Americas into throwing off their overlords from Europe and from the papacy.
They believe things from the Bible which are very out of vogue today, Chase.
And I teach on it every day on self-defense and on self-government.
And we're probably on the edge of 500 daily lessons, each one with a central verse.
And so I intentionally threw that out in the name of the show to cause controversy and to cause students to consider that maybe they had been sold a heretical lie in this homoerotic pacifist Christianity and that that's what's unbiblical.
chase geiser
Homoerotic pacifist Christianity.
That is a bold statement, man.
unidentified
It's so heretical.
It's unbiblical. That's not what Jesus taught.
And listen... Just to answer your question directly, because I know that was circuitous, people need to not take up the cross if they're not ready to be mailed to it.
People need to not start calling themselves a Christian, start adjoining themselves to Christian America if they're not ready to steal their testimony with their blood.
And so this cryptic statement that Jesus made, those who draw the sword will die by it, Well, he said that less than 24 hours before he died by the sword.
chase geiser
So you don't have to live by the sword to die by it.
Thank you so much for your call, Pastor Sam.
I really do appreciate it.
I hope everybody checks out gospelgunslingers.com.
And I want to get more calls.
I want to see these lines blowing up in the next segment.
877-789-2539.
Call in. Let us know what you think.
We've got a lot of people on the list, but if you get in the list now, I'll probably be able to get to you before the end of the hour.
Please call in. Share what your thoughts are on this election, on these indictments, on Ukraine.
Whatever it is that's on your mind, I am ready to talk about it with my fellow info warriors.
unidentified
Welcome back to the American Journal.
Shining in.
chase geiser
Oh, Jesus Christ, superstar.
Is that what I'm listening to right here?
unidentified
Sounds great. Gets me fired up.
chase geiser
All right, let's hear from Justin in Seattle.
Justin, what's up? Justin, can you hear me, sir?
unidentified
What's up? Yeah, I can hear you now. Okay, cool.
Yeah, I'm one of those crazies out there that thinks that Donald Trump is controlled opposition and that the establishment, you know, both right and left, is all controlled by the central banks.
And, you know, they can see that this pendulum is swinging back to the right.
So they're very eager to I'm convinced the public to now swing back towards a right-sided candidate that they control, which I believe is Trump.
chase geiser
Let me stop you there real quick.
Let me stop you there because I want to hear the rest of your thoughts.
But I totally agree with you that the right and the left are controlled opposition as establishment parties.
But what leverage do you think that they have over Trump?
unidentified
Well, when all of Trump's casinos went bankrupt back in the 80s, the only bank that touched him was My understanding, though, is that Trump disavowed Epstein sort of before anyone else did.
chase geiser
And wasn't there even a prosecutor that said Trump was the only one that was willing to make statements and meet with him?
unidentified
See, that's the narrative.
But the problem is that, you know, Trump continued to work with these Rothschild associates.
Even once president, you know, he had them within his cabinet.
So, you know, I believe it's all an act.
It's like a WWE act that he's performing in order to convince the right.
That's why he sold out all of his supporters on his way out the door, you know, at the January 6th supporters.
And only now he's willing to do something for him because he sees the political win is pushing that direction.
You know, I cannot forgive the guy for what he did with the vaccines, for one.
You know, he has yet to apologize for it.
And I believe that was all part of, you know, the communist plot to basically poison America, makes a nice ripe target for a Russia-Chinese invasion.
You know, it all goes back to the banks.
You know, you follow the money.
I have a site on Telegram where I cover all this information.
Is it okay if I plug it? Yeah, plug it.
I'm the admin for the Marcionite Christian Church, 144 AD, where I explain the biggest conspiracy in human history surrounding the Bible and how every single copy of the first Christian Bible was thought out and destroyed.
It was censored. Because in the first Christian Bible, yes, in the first Christian Bible, this was written 100 years after Christ's death.
The first New Testament Bible, they excluded the Old Testament intentionally because in that Bible, the Christians that were closest to Christ, they knew and preached the truth.
And that truth was that the God of Jesus was never the God of the Jews.
And so what they did is they deleted every copy of the first Christian Bible, and then when they introduced the second, they merged the two books together in order to deceive Christians into worshiping the very God and the very people Jesus was sent to lead the Jews away from, you know, Yahweh.
He is the devil. They merged the two books, and now we have the problems that we have today where we have, you know, the banks still running the world.
You know, when they created that second Bible, all the money of Rome was being held in temples to Saturn.
That symbol on the Israeli flag is a Saturn symbol.
It has nothing to do with David.
It's not the star of David.
It's the seal of Solomon. It's one of the oldest satanic symbols that comes straight out of Babylon.
And the same people that have controlled the financial system have always controlled it because their religion, Kabbalah, It's based off of sacred numerology, so therefore they've always been filled with numbers, and they've always gravitated towards finance.
Well, Rome was no different.
All the money at Rome was being held in these temples to Saturn, and so the Saturn worshippers, the Kabbalists, were in control of Rome's finance and were influencing Constantine to do what he did, which was created basically a one-world religion.
So now we have all the worlds.
Worshiping the devil, not realizing, you know, worshiping the devil is the God of Jesus, and not realizing it.
And that's the basis for all the problems that we're experiencing today, is that we're still serving and worshiping the very system, the very belief system, that basically preaches, you know, world government.
The basis for the New World Order is in the Torah, and it's in the Talmud.
You know, God says that...
That, you know, he promises all the world's possessions, in fact, the entire world, to the genetic line of Jacob, which is the Hebrew Israelite.
And so they believe that they are entitled to the entire world and all of its possessions.
And that all the world's races were created by God to serve them, that they are lesser races.
In essence, he is the god of racial supremacy.
Everything they said bad about the Nazis, they themselves are guilty of.
chase geiser
Interesting. Thank you so much for your call, Justin.
I appreciate it. Next up, I want to hear from Jefferson in Virginia.
Jefferson, what is on your mind?
jefferson in virginia
Hey, good morning, Chase. Good morning, man.
unidentified
How are you doing? I'm just fine.
I'm enjoying the show. Thank you so much.
jefferson in virginia
I made my point yesterday about free speech and then Marvin came on right after me and fell right into the ambush I was talking about.
chase geiser
Tell me about it.
jefferson in virginia
I was trying to say that access to mass media is not free speech.
Ah, yes. And Marvin was making the argument that yes it is, I have to be able to speak where it matters.
Right, right. And where it matters is the lure of how they have brought us into this trap Of wanting to talk where everybody else can hear us.
Where we can influence the most number of people.
But eventually they're going to turn that on us.
And use it against us.
And figuring out how to regulate mass media is the hard issue that we haven't figured out.
How to keep people from telling falsehoods on mass media.
chase geiser
Right, right. Well, I think the first step is to just make it illegal for...
I think a lot of the censorship that we've seen has actually been these major companies responding to pressure from the federal government for fear that there will be increased regulation or the breaking up of these companies.
We saw this with the Twitter files that Twitter was very friendly when it was a publicly traded company to the FBI.
And there was a heavy integration.
We saw Facebook update all of its censorship policies and practices after the Cambridge Analytica scandal because there was a lot of fear that the Democrats were going to apply so much pressure on them after Trump won in 2016.
They just responded and sort of obeyed.
And so I think if we can really mitigate what the federal government can legally say and do, what our politicians can legally say and do with respect to specific companies and calling them out, I think we'll see a lot of this censorship behavior sort of dissolve.
Because 10 years ago, these platforms were run by just as many left wingers as they are today.
but we didn't see anywhere near this scope of censorship until we saw the fire that was the Trump administration.
jefferson in virginia
Yeah, I agree. I just think we have to figure out a way to understand that if you're going to tell falsehoods on mass media, there should be a penalty that you knew you were telling people something that just wasn't true.
And that's what we have to figure out.
chase geiser
Well, I believe in the right to lie as well as part of free speech, but it is particularly disturbing when our political leaders lie so incessantly and deliberately without any account.
And I think that our founders thought that if our leaders lied, they would be held accountable by the voters.
But unfortunately, our voters are so brainwashed and or ignorant that they don't seem to call out any of the leaders.
I'm the first to say that if Trump did any of the things that Joe Biden has done, I would be the first one to disavow the guy.
And so anyway, I want everybody to stick with us.
We're going to be taking more calls in the next segment.
Make sure you call in 877-789-2539 to get in the queue.
We've got a lot of callers that we're going to try to get to before the end of the hour and before our outstanding guest of Matthew Culkin in the third hour.
Make sure you visit InfoWarsScore.com.
Get something for the Easter basket and stick with us, folks.
We're taking all of your calls for the next 30 minutes.
unidentified
Thank you.
Welcome back to the American Journal, folks.
chase geiser
Taking calls the rest of the hour at 877-789-2539.
Right now, I want to hear from a very special caller, Simon in Florida.
Simon, I've really enjoyed following you on Twitter the last couple of weeks since I heard you with Harrison last time he was on.
Seems like ages ago. He'll be back Monday, though, folks.
Simon, how are you? I'm very well.
simon-2 in florida
Thank you ever so much for becoming one of my largest followers on Twitter at Simon from Florida, too.
It really is an absolutely tumultuous time, and I'm very impressed that you're making the effort to keep aware of some of the other events that are occurring around the world that aren't being covered to any great extent by the American mainstream media.
And to that end, there have been some quite extraordinary developments with India, who obviously is the The largest or second largest nation in the world, along with China, they've actually embarked on a deal with Iran that I think is going to be very significant for their long-term foreign relations.
There's a concept called the INSEC, which is the International North-South Transit Corridor, and the goal of that is to transport goods All the way from St.
Petersburg on the Baltic Sea, via the Cassian Sea, across Iran, and then to the port of India.
Now, in order to facilitate that, the infrastructure of Iran needs to be greatly improved.
And it now appears that the Saudis are going to be plowing money into that.
And also the Indians, who have now reinstated a deal that was suspended due to the sanctions from America that were reimposed upon Iran when President Trump pulled out of the Iranian nuclear deal that's called the JCPOA.
But basically, the Indians have now said that they're fed up of waiting because the Biden administration have been dragging their feet on reinstating that deal.
And they're now going to plow ahead with developing the port of Chabadar, which is right at the far southeast corner of Iran, so that it can be used to expedite all of those goods from Russia to India. so that it can be used to expedite all of And at the same time, they're now in advanced negotiations with the Russian government.
And this is quite incredible when you think about whether or not America would be willing to allow any country in the world, even our friendliest of allies, What they're proposing to do is build an entire city on the east coast,
the Pacific Ocean side of Russia, in order to facilitate the shipment of goods from Russia around China and then to the east coast of India.
So they're looking for their trade relations to be so tight-knit with the Russian Federation that they're going to have one route for Iran coming to the west coast of India and another route for the Pacific coming to the east coast of India.
So the idea that India, as a member of the Quad, is going to be part of an alliance I think it's an incredibly long hope.
And it's very important, please, for both your listeners, and I'd be most willing to come on and discuss this in detail with you should you desire.
You can reach out to me since you've got my Twitter details.
So to really appreciate the shift that's occurring, not only in relation to the conflict with Russia over Ukraine, But also the enormous changes happening where on the verge of a full-blown trade war with China and General Milley,
who many listeners may not really like, but he did warn Congress just a couple of days ago that he sees the alliance between Iran, Russia and China as being a serious problem for the United States in the long run.
And now our erstwhile friend, India, It seems to be not only involved in BRIC, a trade organization, but it's enormously integrating its trade relations with the Russian Federation.
chase geiser
Let me ask you this, Simon, and I don't mean to interrupt you, but I'm just curious to know because we only have so much time.
How do you think this plays into the recent news about Brazil and the trading with China not using the dollar?
simon-2 in florida
Exactly the same thing is now happening with China and Russia and with India and Russia and soon it's going to be happening with the Saudis because just a couple of days ago there was the first ever large-scale transaction for LNG on the new Shanghai Energy Exchange where the French I bought LNG from Qatar,
but the contract was done in China, and the French paid the Qataris in Chinese yuan.
And just today, the Chinese Global Times is celebrating that deal and saying how that's one of many steps to the de-dollarization of the international economy.
So your question is an excellent one.
And it is exactly what is happening now between Brazil and China.
Even though the president of Brazil came down with pneumonia and was unable to travel, all of his ministerial and 240 businessmen did in fact fly on and they are signing deal after deal after deal.
Further integrating the Brazilian economy with the Chinese economy, and you see the result of that at Biden's Summit for Democracy.
In relation to the paragraph that condemned Russian actions in Ukraine, the Brazilian delegation in America refused to sign the entire document because America insisted upon that paragraph the Brazilian delegation in America refused to sign the entire document
And the Brazilian – not the Brazilian – the Mexican government, who are also applying to join BRICS, they expressed a reservation saying they agreed with the general declaration as a result of the summit, but that they specifically refused to accept the paragraph condemning but that they specifically refused to accept the paragraph condemning Russia.
chase geiser
Right.
Let me ask you this then.
In the context of history, when there's a major currency collapse, Like there was in Germany throughout the 20s.
It typically does catalyze the sort of pain and suffering among a people that drains whatever existing swamp there may be in the government.
So do you anticipate a collapse of the US dollar and do you anticipate that that will catalyze a total overhaul of our government as it stands?
simon-2 in florida
Well, yes, because if you look back in history, if you think about the Roman Empire, that was largely the currency debasement.
The silver and gold coins, the purity of those was changed.
So that devalued their currency.
Then if you look at the collapse of the British Empire after World War I, it was because the silver coins went from being 92% silver to being 40% silver.
And then after the Second World War, they went to 0% silver and the British Empire completely collapsed.
So if people have a reduced need or desire to hold US dollars and they therefore become devalued in the eyes of the rest of the world, that is exactly what historically has precipitated the collapse of that is exactly what historically has precipitated the collapse of great empires.
And certainly for the 20th century, it's undeniable that the United States was one of the major forces in the world, and that era may indeed be coming to an end.
And that is exactly what both Russia in their new document out today for their new foreign policy statement, which is very, very long.
I'm just working my way through the formal document now.
We had to discuss that with you on another occasion.
But also China is using this phrase, the new era.
And that basically is the era without the reliance upon the U.S. dollar.
chase geiser
Right, right. It's like in Lord of the Rings.
The age of man is over.
The era of the orc is here, right?
Thank you so much for your call, Simon.
We'll be taking more calls in the next segment.
Stick with us, 877-789-2539, and visit InfoWarsStore.com.
unidentified
Welcome back to the American Journal, folks.
chase geiser
We've got a great guest coming up in the third hour.
But before that, I want to talk to our distinguished, outstanding info warriors waiting in the queue.
I want to hear first from Tim in Seattle.
Tim, how are you doing?
Are you snapping necks and cash and checks?
tim in seattle
I'm doing fantastic, Chase.
chase geiser
Oh, man, I'm sorry to hear that.
tim in seattle
No, I'm doing great. You should get like a Saturday show or something, bro.
You do fantastic. I would never replace Harrison with you, but, you know, because we love Harrison.
Shout out to the Rumble Chat.
I'm watching the Ghetto Chat right now, and it looks like they're melting down.
chase geiser
Oh no, what are they melting down over?
unidentified
Are they mad at me? No, they're not mad at you.
tim in seattle
I think they're just mad at their fame.
And so, let's go over the Rumble Chat, because Rumble Chat is just as sane and just as awesome as anything else.
But I also wanted to encourage the United States to think about why they arrested Trump when we were talking and we were finding unity in our discussion over the Restrict Act.
Everybody was coming to the same table about the Restrict Act and all of a sudden now we're talking about Trump and we're divided again.
unidentified
Ah, I see your point. Problem, reaction, solution.
tim in seattle
I think that they're going to use Trump like that against us so that we can't ever come to some sort of unity.
Just FYI. That's what I wanted to talk about.
They're using Trump as a distraction so that we do not have...
Because you haven't said anything about the Restrict Act this morning.
Not many people have because we're talking about Trump.
So you guys have a fantastic weekend.
Keep it up. 1776 worldwide.
Can't wait to see Harrison on Monday.
Harrison, colloidal silver in the eye.
It works, bro. Love you guys.
chase geiser
Well, it's an honor and pleasure to have your call.
Thank you for calling in, Tim.
I appreciate it. We talked a lot about the Restrict Act yesterday in the context of...
Senator Hawley's advocation for banning TikTok.
And I believe his bill to ban TikTok is separate from the Restrict Act, although the Restrict Act has been associated with a TikTok ban as well.
And, you know, I think it's true.
Anytime there's a new big story, it distracts from the last big story.
And we run in such a sluggish society or civilization that the last big story is never resolved in time for us to address the next big story.
So we just end up skipping it and forgetting about it.
Hunter Biden's story was famous years ago, and it's still unresolved, but nobody seems to really talk about it.
And of course, this restrict act is a very pressing issue.
And there's not much talk going on about it today, given the context of this new indictment that's supposed to be released.
any minute to the public regarding President Trump.
So I appreciate that feedback.
We do have to remember not to forget all of the issues that we are being faced with just because there's a new flash in the pan.
Let's hear about all the Trump stuff from Rob in Florida.
Rob how are you sir? Can you hear me Rob?
Yep, I can hear you now. How are you doing?

Okay. I'm doing well.
I'm doing well. I want to say what's up to my buddies in the Getter Chat, Ed, Luke, Lisa, Rose, all of y'all.
Hope y'all doing well.
The major problem we're dealing with is very simple.
It's communism and Nazism uniting.
And, you know, we really just need to get real because they're starting to throw us in jail.
They're starting to throw people in jail, keep them there for, I mean, look at the J6 guys.
They've been there for years now.
So, I mean, when are we going to get real, step up, and start throwing the communists in jail?
They go to these red states like Tennessee, and they go protest and bring their guns and insinuate violence on us.
When are we going to get serious about this?
Yeah, that's a good question. When are we going to step up and start getting rid of the communists?
chase geiser
That's a good question, but you know, in the United States, it's not illegal to be a communist.
unidentified
Yeah, I know. That's a problem.
I like your attitude, man.
chase geiser
You know what I mean? I hate commies any more than the next guy, but I also believe in freedom of political associations.
Because if we start throwing commies in prison for being commies, then don't we kind of become just as bad as those who we claim to oppose?
unidentified
No, not really. Not really, because they're dangerous.
They're trying to kill us.
They're trying to get rid of us.
They're trying to wipe out the American spirit.
And that's real talk, man.
That's what we're dealing with. That's true.
chase geiser
Well, thank you so much for your call. I appreciate your feedback on that, Rob.
I do want to hear from Mike in New York.
Mike, you've been waiting on the line for almost 50 minutes, man.
Thank you so much for hanging in there.
We've got five minutes left in this segment, so I want to try to take your call.
Maybe one other. What's on your mind, Mike?
unidentified
Yeah, no problem. I got the day off today, so I'm just hanging out.
I just wanted to say to all my info warriors up in the Northeast, Don't play into this and go to New York or nothing.
If you want to protest, there's plenty of great things to protest about.
I encourage you to hit up Tim Lassley on Twitter.
He's like the greatest bullhorner other than Alex Jones.
And, you know, there's plenty of things for us to be upset about.
But I think this is also an opportunity, too, to kind of send a message to Trump.
And, you know, he's calling for us to all get up in arms about him being attacked when We've been getting politically persecuted just as much, if not more, than him.
And when it's convenient for him, he wants to say something about it.
So we could send a little bit of a message.
We support him and we think it's wrong, but we can't just go getting politically persecuted every time that he gets in trouble.
chase geiser
Hey, that's a good point.
That's a good point. And frankly, when I heard the news that he was being indicted, my first thought was, is there someplace I can go to protest?
And I think that Trump needs to just announce that the first thing he'll do if elected president of the United States is pardon all of the January 6th protesters.
Why hasn't he just announced that?
And I understand why he couldn't do it at the end of his last presidency because many of them were strategically not charged with anything until after January 20th.
So that he wouldn't be able to pardon them.
Brandon Strzok is one of those examples of someone who was arrested on like the 23rd or something of January because they knew that if they made arrests before Trump was out of office, then there was a risk that he would pardon everyone.
So I'm going to give him a little grace, a little benefit of the doubt on that.
But why is it that he hasn't announced that he would just pardon all of them?
Maybe he hasn't. I just overlooked it.
unidentified
Do you know anything about that? I don't think I haven't heard him.
I mean, he just started talking about him when he announced his 24 run.
I mean, it's taken that long.
chase geiser
Why is it that he's fighting for the vaccine and bragging about the vaccine, but not fighting for the pardoning of these January 6th protesters, especially in the context of the story that broke last month or earlier this month about the shaman basically being framed and led around the Capitol on what looked like a tour?
unidentified
Yeah, exactly. We got to remember that we are the movement.
Donald Trump is the movement.
It's us. What we say goes.
chase geiser
Well, thank you so much for your call, man.
I really do appreciate it.
And I think that is a really astute point that you made about we being the movement versus Trump.
And like I said, I endorse Trump.
I'm going to vote for Trump in the primary.
I'm going to vote for Trump in the general when he wins the primary.
But that being said, one of my fears is that this populist movement, and that's what the America First movement is.
It's called America First. It's not called a populist movement, but it is.
It's an American populist party.
And it's just Republicans who are disenfranchised with the Republican Party signing up for this America First sort of movement and trying to make the Republican Party a populist party, which may actually be strategically effective.
We'll see how it plays out.
But my fear about this movement Not any of the political ramifications should it come to power, but my fear is that it is so intimately interwoven with Donald Trump that, God forbid, something were to happen to Donald Trump, like he retires or he doesn't get elected or he has a stroke or he gets assassinated, that the whole entire populist balloon would just deflate.
And I really, really hope that we have actually established a shift in the politics of patriots that can ride the wave of populism beyond just the scope of this charismatic leader that we have at the forefront of it.
Steve Bannon has been touting populism and he's been singing the praises of Trump for years.
And I totally agree with him, especially about just populism in general.
And I just hope that we haven't, by tying populism so intimately in with Donald Trump, I hope that we haven't made those two ideals or those two ideas together.
It's symbiotic in such a way that one can't survive without the other, that Trump can't survive without populism, and that populism in America can't survive without Trump.
I do want you to stay tuned because the next hour we have a great guest, Matthew Culkin.
He's been on before. He's one of my favorite people to talk to, a really bright guy.
And make sure you visit Infowarsstore.com during the break before we have the guest on in the next hour.
I want to tell you a little bit about your favorite high-quality storable food, water, and air supplies, which are now back in stock at Infowarsstore.com.
We've been out of stock for far too long, and we know you have been asking for the storable food, water, and air filtration products, and they're finally here.
Food, water, and air are essential for our well-being.
Make sure you're prepared for emergencies by stocking up on food and water supplies.
You can stock up long-term or short-term with our various sizes of storable food options.
I, for one, have actually taken up this offer.
I have that very water filter.
I have those storable food buckets there.
I think I bought a six-month supply, maybe just a three-month supply.
I can't remember how much I bought, but I do take comfort knowing that no matter how much more expensive groceries become, I always have a supply of food in my home.
For my family.
Stay tuned. We'll be back with a guest after this.
It's the American Journal this morning.
We've got one more hour left of the show before the great Alex Jones is on.
And we've got an awesome guest.
We've had him on before. This is Matthew Culkin with us today of Culkin& Culkin, I believe is the name of your firm.
Matthew, what's up, man?
matthew kolken
Good to be back. Always like to talk.
chase geiser
It's an honor and a pleasure to have you.
I encourage everyone to follow Matthew Culkin on Twitter at mculkin.
Because his content is great.
matthew kolken
And incidentally, if we are in the age of man, I am the one true king.
chase geiser
I appreciate that.
So, I know that this indictment is under seal, but I still want to hear from you about what you think.
matthew kolken
Well... From what I've seen on the internet, Matt Taivey had an interesting take, and that was that you had to squint really, really closely to be able to put any meat on this bone.
And I agree with his analysis that, realistically speaking, this is going to set an incredibly dangerous precedent because If the new rules of the game are that we prosecute past presidents, well, I'd be very curious to know what the statute of limitation is for rape in the state of Arkansas.
chase geiser
That's an outstanding point.
Yeah, no kidding. Not to mention the fact that all the crimes that we know that Joe Biden committed as the vice president because of this Hunter Biden laptop, which now is confirmed as real.
Allegedly. Allegedly, right.
So what does it actually mean from a lawyer's standpoint?
And pardon my ignorance on this, but just for me and the sake of the audience, what does it mean to have an indictment under seal?
Why is it under seal? What does that mean?
matthew kolken
How does this play out? Well this is a little bit outside of my area of expertise, but realistically speaking, I would assume that the reason for the steal is because of the inflammatory nature of the charges and the ability to potentially have in this country still the presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
Right. I do U.S. immigration law.
I don't do state criminal law at all, so I'm talking out of turn.
chase geiser
Sure, I understand. And my understanding, too, and I could be wrong about this, but my understanding is that when there's a pardon for a federal crime, that crime can still be prosecuted at the state level.
Is that true because it's technically considered a different trial or a different crime?
matthew kolken
Yes. Basically, you have to look at separate statutes.
You've got a federal statute, which has, if you do a categorical analysis of that statute, there will be specific elements of that crime that can result in a prosecution and a state crime, which could be completely separate from what the elements of that federal conviction are.
So you can be charged with both a state crime and a federal crime, and this happens with some frequency.
chase geiser
Right. I think we saw that with Steve Bannon.
I could be incorrect, but I understand that he was pardoned by Trump for the federal charges, but then the state was able to bring the charges for the same crime against Bannon, and that's how they were able to sort of get around the pardon.
Is that an analysis right now?
matthew kolken
Exactly. And from my understanding, the Department of Justice on a federal level, as well as the Election Commission, both took a look at what Trump had done with some scrutiny.
There was a fine-tooth comb that went through all of the facts that have resulted in this state charge, and they elected not to prosecute, which tells me one thing without knowing anything about the details of the case.
The federal government does not bring charges against individuals unless they are within as close to 100% certainty as they possibly can be to secure a conviction.
When the federal government brings charges against somebody, you're going to go to jail.
There's very few people that are able to defeat those charges, and the penalties that attach to a federal charge generally are significant.
And so an individual is incentivized to enter into a plea agreement.
To avoid a lengthy jail sentence and the uncertainty of enhanced sentencing.
chase geiser
Very good points. We are going to go to break in about 12 seconds.
So stick with us, folks, through the break.
In the next segment, we'll be talking more with Matthew Culkin.
All things indictment and recent news.
unidentified
and we're going to tap into the updates in the immigration world as well.
chase geiser
Thank you so much.
Stay with us.
unidentified
Welcome back to the American Journal, folks.
chase geiser
We are here with the great Matthew Culkin, talking about everything there is to talk about.
Matthew, I want to hear from you a little bit about what the new updates are in the immigration world.
I see your tweets constantly about people trying to flee Canada, worry they're going to go back to Canada.
Obviously, you work with the Hispanic community as well.
What is new in the realm of the Biden administration and what's happening with immigration here in the United States?
matthew kolken
Well, we have an uncontrolled border on the south, and because of the reallocation of resources on the southern border, the northern border is unfortunately open.
This is unprecedented.
When Obama was president, he We had a very strong focus on maintaining our position as a sovereign nation and was very interested, despite all the criticisms from the right, in keeping people from being able to come to the United States illegally.
One half of all federal criminal prosecutions under President Obama were for immigration-related crimes relating to attempting to come to the United States illegally.
Biden has basically incentivized unlawful immigration, even though his deportation numbers on the border are high.
It doesn't reflect the fact that he has reallocated resources away from interior enforcement, number one.
And number two, he has created a program that has expanded to 60 courts in the United States, which allow immigration judges on their own motion to unilaterally remove cases from the active docket.
Which basically means that neither party has made a request for any type of movement in their case from the court's scheduled docket of cases.
And they're just being basically put on a shelf to be forgotten about.
chase geiser
Wow. So what you're suggesting here is that they're just kind of postponing deportation cases so that people can stay here indefinitely.
matthew kolken
Is that right? Indefinitely. Right.
chase geiser
That's interesting. So how's that been for your business, given the fact that you work to fight cases of deportation?
unidentified
Are you just frustrated that nobody's getting deported?
matthew kolken
I don't do as much deportation work as I did under President Trump or Obama, that's for sure.
But that being said, I'm one of only two immigration lawyers in the United States that I'm aware of that are filing applications for asylum on behalf of unvaccinated Canadian citizens.
Are they going through? Well, I mean, it takes approximately four years to litigate an asylum claim.
So these things are going to be in the pipe for a long time.
chase geiser
Where do they, where does your client stay in the interim?
So if they're seeking asylum, do they get to stay in the United States during that time?
matthew kolken
Yes, you're allowed to remain in the United States in a period of stay authorized by the Attorney General for the entirety of the request for asylum.
So you submit that application, and you're permitted to remain here until there's finality.
And there's a number of steps that are required.
There's an administrative determination, which if they don't grant, they refer to an immigration judge who schedules an individual hearing for the purpose of Assessing your claim for asylum.
If you're unsuccessful there, you can do an administrative appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals.
If you're unsuccessful there, you can file an appeal to the federal courts and potentially all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
chase geiser
It can take a decade. So is there an incentive to sort of make this process last as long as possible?
Because effectively, your client has asylum while the case is pending, right?
matthew kolken
My incentive is to win.
I like to win. And I like to save my client's money.
I don't like to lose at anything.
I was a terrible loser when I was a kid.
chase geiser
You seem like the type.
matthew kolken
You just throw fits? Oh, I broke so many controllers when I was a kid.
chase geiser
What, Nintendo 64?
matthew kolken
Actually, there was Atari and I think Bally that I played.
I mean, I'm a kid in the 70s.
I'm the last great generation, Gen X. I played pinball.
chase geiser
What's pinball? I'm just kidding.
That's funny, man. So what do you think is next?
I mean, do you think that this administration is just going to continue to drop the ball in terms of illegal immigration, let people flood on the border?
And why are they doing it?
Are they worried that there's not enough labor for undesirable jobs, so they're just sort of letting it happen?
Or is it like a voter growth-based kind of move?
matthew kolken
Yeah, I believe that they're appealing to the far left wing of their party.
Immigration has always been...
It's been a cantankerous issue, obviously, but there has been uniformity from both the left and the right.
You can go back and check the tape.
You'll hear Clinton say it.
You'll hear Obama say it numerous times in their States of the Union addresses that we are a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws.
And the law is no longer respected in this country because Joe Biden has basically hung out a sign saying, if you get to the United States illegally, we're not going to deport you.
chase geiser
Right. So they're just flooding over.
And do you know the numbers?
I hear mixed reports.
How many people are actually coming into this country, either from the north or the south?
matthew kolken
I don't know the exact numbers, but I know we're facing a backlog of over 2 million deportations now.
Wow. That's just the people that have been caught.
I mean, I've heard that there's been over a million people that have entered the United States unlawfully since Biden took office, and that's the numbers that we're aware of.
chase geiser
Minutes. That's like one out of every 150 people in the United States is a backblock deportation case.
matthew kolken
I saw a statistic that said that there are more people that have come to the United States illegally since Joe Biden is, or there's more people in the United States illegally than there are people living in the city of Philadelphia.
chase geiser
Wow. That is just crazy.
And, you know, I have mixed feelings about immigration.
I've been trying to figure out what my position is on this because I've been working on some things that I'm going to come out with later this year.
And I'm a huge fan of Milton Friedman just as an economist.
I think he's brilliant. I think his speeches were awesome.
I think he was sort of a polite version of Ben Shapiro in terms of how he handled the Q&As of college students in the 70s and the 80s.
You know, he'd have the same response, but he was a little less, you know, pointed about it.
And I don't know, he's just a classy guy.
But his position on immigration is...
Counterintuitive to what you think it would be because he's associated with the right and free markets and capitalism.
And he basically said, we need to get back to a place where you can just come here and get citizenship.
What are your thoughts on that?
matthew kolken
Well, I worked on a guest worker program with 113th Congress, which basically would allow individuals to come to the United States very, very simply to work in specific industries that Congress has designated as having a labor shortage.
There's a verifiable labor shortage in industry X, Y, or Z. So we're going to let people that can establish that they're qualified to be employed in industry X, Y, or Z To submit themselves to background checks, apply for a visa, and enter the United States with a type of status that specifically allows them to only work in those specific industries.
So, I mean, if it's the farms, if it's...
Good luck going to a restaurant these days.
I mean, restaurants that used to be 24 hours a day, or businesses that used to be 24-hour days.
I live on the northern border, right by Canada.
And there's a coffee place called Tim Hortons.
And Tim Hortons is notoriously open 24 hours a day.
unidentified
They throw out their food.
matthew kolken
After a certain time because they can't staff the hours and they close the coffee shops.
And it's the same thing in all the small bars and restaurants that can't get help.
And part of the reason why is because why would you work when you're going to be able to get all of these benefits for not working or make more money from not working?
The pandemic destroyed our economy.
chase geiser
Yeah, it absolutely did.
And it seems like it really increased the disparity between the wealthy and the poor in our country and drastically sort of attacked the middle class.
So it almost seems to me, and I was talking about this earlier on the show today, that the political industrial complex, as I like to call it, because it's not just a military industrial complex.
It's more complicated than that now that our government does everything everywhere.
Has really benefited from this pandemic.
It didn't really have an incentive to shut it down.
I mean, the stock markets increased because they pumped money artificially into the economy and into the banks.
And so the wealthy got wealthy and then the poor got poor.
And I don't know what's going to happen in the long term for this, but it doesn't really seem that the interests of our leaders match the interests of their people.
matthew kolken
Well, I mean, one thing's for sure.
If you have children, you have to tell them, go into government and be as far left as possible if you want to earn a living.
chase geiser
That's for sure. So we're going to go to break here in about 15 seconds.
Make sure we stick here on the show.
For the next segment, we're going to have more great topics to discuss with Matthew Culkin.
And in the meantime, check out Infowarsstore.com.
We've got great deals on all sorts of things to prepare for the end of the world or just to put in the Easter basket for the end of the month.
unidentified
Stay tuned, folks. Welcome back to the American Journal.
We've got thin ball hero Matthew Culkin on the show today.
chase geiser
A child of the 70s and an American hero of the 21st century.
It's an honor and a pleasure to have you with us.
Let's talk about the Civil War this segment.
We were talking a little bit during the break about this new state legislation that may shift the boundaries of a couple of states and how that might be the beginning of a Civil War.
Matthew, tell us what's going on with this Oregon-Idaho stuff.
matthew kolken
All right, so there basically are 11 counties in eastern Oregon who have already voted to leave the state of Oregon and join Idaho.
There's apparently 15 rural eastern Oregon counties that are at play, and there's another one that's going up for approval in May.
And potentially what it could result in, and it's a very large percentage of the landmass of the state of Oregon.
And I have no idea whether or not this is something that's going to be ultimately successful, but it'd be very interesting to see a redrawing of our state boundaries.
Because this is realistically, we talk Civil War, and everyone when they talk Civil War, they talk the original Civil War and being the bloodiest conflict in the history of our country.
I don't foresee a civil war being a conflict where arms are going to be taken up.
I see it playing out just like this, where rural communities are going to finally say we've had enough of being ruled by our urban overlords in the big cities.
And they're going to pick up and leave the state and merge with other rural states, rural portions of blue states.
And there's just going to be redrawing on the maps.
And that's going to impact electoral college votes.
It's going to impact the makeup of the Congress, et cetera.
And it's just going to be very interesting to see what this country looks like from a state lines perspective in another 50 years.
I don't think there's any chance our country survives absent a redrawing of the state boundaries.
of the state boundaries.
chase geiser
That's really fascinating.
That's really fascinating.
You know, I grew up in Illinois and there was constant frustration in the rural communities of Illinois, of which I was a part, regarding Chicago's grip on the neck of the entire state.
You know, I grew up in Illinois and there was constant frustration in the rural communities of Illinois, of which I was a part, regarding Chicago's grip on the neck of the entire state.
And you just basically, I mean, even if you look at how the gubernatorial race is going in Illinois and you look at the counties, it's like every county's right, every county's right, except for maybe one or two in Cook County.
And then the governor is still a Democrat, nine times out of 10, it seems like.
matthew kolken
And so there was- Almost every single blue state looks like basically a national map, where if you were to take a look at the geography of the country or any in particular state, the cities are controlled blue and then it's red.
chase geiser
Right, right. And so my question then is, Like in a state like Illinois, my fear would be that if the rural communities of Illinois wanted to merge with one of the adjacent states, for example, because of their disenfranchised sentiments with Chicago, for example, and Chicago, of course, isn't the capital, but it practically speaking is the capital because it does run the state.
Wouldn't there be a major effort among these corrupt counties to stop that from happening due to the fact that the state wants to maintain its hold on the state income taxes of the rural communities?
Because these rural communities are composed of small towns, but that's a lot of state revenue that would just vanish.
matthew kolken
I am not an expert on this.
However, from my Googling that I've done, my Wikipedia searches...
Each individual county, I think, has autonomy, and they would have the ability to self-govern with regards to how their geography is listed.
So I don't know whether or not—I can't imagine that this is going to be an easy process, but I think that if the first domino falls, there's going to be a whole bunch to follow.
chase geiser
I do believe that there's a rule in the Constitution, and correct me if I'm wrong, if you recall, that no state can be completely surrounded by another single state.
So like one county in the middle, Illinois, couldn't just declare itself its own state.
There's some sort of rule around that.
But if you're adjacent to a border, you can merge, right?
matthew kolken
Yeah, I believe so. Fascinating.
chase geiser
Wow. So how do you think this is going to play out over the next 50 years?
I mean, do you think that we're going to start seeing this happen in all these states and it's just going to be just incredibly disruptive?
matthew kolken
Well, in Alvin Bragg's America, there are only blue states and red states.
There are no United States.
And the precedent that we've just seen with regards to the indictment of President Trump should concern everyone.
It concerns people on the far left, obviously, who are, although completely opposed to everything that Donald Trump stands for, both on a political perspective as well as an emotional perspective.
It just sets a dangerous precedent because, once again, as Matt Taibbi had indicated on his Twitter feed, it's going to incentivize presidents remaining in power for as long as possible because they can't be prosecuted while they're still in the Oval Office.
Right. And, I mean, that's when you have someone in power that doesn't want to leave, that's dangerous.
chase geiser
Do you think this is going to push people to press against the two-term limit in office and try to change the Constitution or set up some sort of an emergency situation in which they're allowed to stand for an infinite number of terms?
matthew kolken
We're going to have Joe Biden 2034.
chase geiser
Oh, you think he's going to live that long?
matthew kolken
Weekend at Biden's.
unidentified
They're going to keep recharging the battery, man.
matthew kolken
It's going to be a nice party and some really nice 80 garb to go with that presidency.
I don't know how you can objectively look at what's happening in this country and not be scared to death.
chase geiser
Well, let me put it to you this way.
How would you feel if after Joe Biden's presidency is over, he was prosecuted for crimes associated with the Hunter Biden laptop?
Would you feel like that was a dangerous precedent as this is?
matthew kolken
Well, it does scare me.
I'll be honest with you, it scares me.
I think that if you're going to be prosecuting somebody, it needs to be done.
There can't be any appearance of impropriety or the fact that it attaches to a political agenda because it undermines the sanctity of the courts.
We need to have faith in our judicial system.
And I'm not saying that I'm voting for literally anybody but a Democrat.
chase geiser
Yeah, I'm never going to vote for a Democrat.
Again, I tell people that I'm not a Republican, but I'm sure as hell not a Democrat.
And frankly, the Republican Party is too leftist for me at this point.
But I don't know what other option there is other than Trump in 2024, because everyone else seems of the establishment.
I'm interested in what your thoughts are on the Trump versus DeSantis conversation.
matthew kolken
We just got about a minute left. Move to greater Idaho, my friend.
chase geiser
Is that what you're going to do? Yeah, why are you still in New York?
matthew kolken
What the hell's wrong with you? Yeah. I'm trying to get out.
I am trying to get out. I've got kids that I'm trying to get out of school, and I'm trying to figure out my landing spot.
Austin, Texas is too blue for me, though.
chase geiser
Sorry. Hey, man, I tell you what.
I've lived in red areas of blue states and blue areas of red states.
And I'd much rather be in a blue city and a red state than a red city and a blue state.
Because no matter how leftist Austin is, I'm still never going to have to pay state income tax.
But stick with us, folks. After this break, we're going to be continuing the conversation with Matthew Culkin.
And make sure you check out infowarsstore.com during the break.
And get some ashwagandha with black pepper for the Easter basket this year.

It's got great benefits and stay tuned.
unidentified
Welcome back to the American journal folks.
chase geiser
It is an honor and a pleasure to have all of you distinguished listeners watching, tuning in.
We're going to do one more segment with Matthew here.
And in the next segment, Matthew and I are both going to take your call.
So make sure you call in 877-789-2539.
That's 877-789-2539.
And we're going to take questions from you in the next segment.
but I want to fill up the queue here over the next eight minutes or so before we go into the next break.
And then, of course, we will take your calls.
Let's talk a little bit about Adam Kinzinger and how much money he's getting paid by CNN.
I want to say something before I ask Matthew what he thinks about this.
As he mentioned it to me, I didn't even realize that Adam was working for CNN now.
But Kinzinger is from the district I grew up in in Illinois.
And I believe, if my memory serves, that my family actually donated to his campaign, knew his family.
Was very excited about having this, you know, new young Republican go in and shake things up in Congress.
And now everybody that I know that ever supported him hates Adam Kinzinger.
So what do you think about this new story with him on CNN? What's the scoop, Matthew?
matthew kolken
Well, first of all, what are the odds that he was actually ever a Republican?
I mean, was he just coming out of the closet with regards to his Democratic views?
There's no way that this guy didn't always...
I mean, I think he did a classic Trump.
He's really just a Chicago wannabe Democrat who saw that the best way for him to get into Congress was to pretend that he was a Republican.
This is what Trump did. I mean, Trump's a New York Democrat.
chase geiser
Well, do you think Trump actually has Democratic views?
His views seem very apolitical in terms of apolitical party.
matthew kolken
Well, I think that a lot of his views were classically Democrat views from the 50s and 60s.
I mean, that's when he grew up.
chase geiser
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
And, you know, frankly, he was very lax on certain things like gay rights, for example.
You always had sort of the same position.
Gun rights. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
So how much is CNN paying Kinzinger?
matthew kolken
Do you know? One million dollars.
A year? I have no idea.
chase geiser
Oh man, but it makes you wonder because I was surprised that Kinzinger wasn't running again because these people are typically so egotistical that they can't fathom the notion that they won't win.
And of course, I don't think he would have won if he ran again.
And he must have known that.
So he just leveraged this sort of anti-party behavior in order to line up a CNN position, huh?
matthew kolken
That's the new business plan.
You get into office as a Republican and then you talk poorly about Republicans and you get paid by legacy media.
chase geiser
It works. How much longer do you think CNN is going to be able to afford to pay anybody though?
matthew kolken
I think Legatus Team Meat is in big, big trouble.
I don't have cable anymore, and I'm old school.
I don't watch any of those shows.
I get my news from journalists that I trust and podcasters that I see either on Twitter or just from following them.
I see them on a Joe Rogan show or something along those lines.
Next thing you know, I'm following them, and that's where I get That's how I consume my news.
chase geiser
Yeah. Well, and it's interesting, too, in the context of this Restrict Act, I'm not sure if you've been following any of that at all, but virtually all of the antagonism toward it has come from independent journalists and podcasters, and we actually seem to be winning the narrative over the legacy media's sort of apathy toward the whole issue as a whole.
What are your thoughts on the Restrict Act?
Do you think it's going to actually pass?
Have you taken a look at it at all yet?
matthew kolken
I haven't looked at all of the details, but I have a close friend of mine who works for the federal government, who is also a former ADA in New York.
And he told me that this new provision makes the Patriot Act look like detention in grammar school.
It will change this country permanently.
We will be communist China.
That's not hyperbolic.
chase geiser
Right. The fact that they even have the audacity to put forth some of these notions that are in the legislation is incredibly alarming.
The fact that we even have people on the inside of either these political staffs or the deep state who may inform the creation of legislation like this is really disturbing because I think if you looked 50 years ago and anybody even mentioned anything like this, they would immediately be ostracized from any sort of political position or power forever in the United States.
But today it's like, oh, you know, let's entertain this idea of fining people $250,000 for using a VPN.
matthew kolken
What we've seen in the last, I would say now it's six years, with regards to the chilling of First Amendment protections through threats of violence, either through rioters, Antifa, et cetera.
the castigation of people who aren't willing to bend the knee, the masking, both literally and figuratively, of parents who oppose the leftist agendas in our schools and the grooming of our children, and the prosecution, of parents who oppose the leftist agendas in our schools and the grooming of our children, and the prosecution, the political prosecutions of past presidents, as well
This isn't the stuff that makes for a constitutional republic.
We're in flames.
It's burning, and no arranging of, to use another metaphor, of the deck chairs on the Titanic is going to get jacked onto that plank with a nod of the cold.
chase geiser
Right, right. So let me ask you this.
This is one of my pet peeves about the Constitution.
And I understand why the founders left it intentionally ambiguous, but basically stated it is the right of the people.
It's either the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence or both.
I don't even know if this is written specifically in the Constitution, but the notion that it is the right of the people if the government fails to fulfill its duties and violates the rights of the people, it is the right of the people then to overthrow that government and replace it.
But none of the specifics are listed, right?
Like, when, what actually has to happen before you cross that threshold, and I think we're just supposed to kind of play it by ear and determine that on our own, or like, you'll know, is kind of like what they thought.
But I wish that there were specifics because...
I'm always wondering, like, okay, at what point would I become a violent person, right?
And I'm not somebody who advocates for violent or violent revolution.
It's not what we do on the show.
It's not what I do on the internet.
Even if I felt that way, I wouldn't say it like this because, you know, then I would be violating the Insurrection Act and I'd get locked up and not be able to see my family.
But at what point is it right to take up arms against your own government?
Like, do you have in your mind a threshold?
Is it 30% unemployment?
Is it they're knocking on my door to seize my guns?
When is it appropriate?
matthew kolken
Yeah. Well, there was a Supreme Court case with regards to pornography where it was famously said, I can't define pornography, but I sure know what it looks like when I see it.
Right. And I think that's the definition of...
And I would never advocate taking up arms to overthrow the United States government.
chase geiser
Not even if they were rounding up all the Jews and sending them to death camps?
matthew kolken
No. I think that that's pornography right there.
unidentified
I think that's the definition of pornography.
matthew kolken
You know it when you see it.
chase geiser
But by then, it's too late.
Something should have been done before then, right?
matthew kolken
No, it's not.
It's not too late. There's a lot of people with guns in this country by design.
I'm very excited, actually.
That some of these cases, the left-wing overreach in my state, in California, Massachusetts, etc., because a lot of these cases are going to get up to the Supreme Court in probably the next couple years with regards to our Second Amendment rights and the fortification thereof.
And the left is going to be...
There's going to be a rude awakening because there was a case back in the...
Oh, we're running out of time.
But the reality of the situation...
We'll finish it up.
We'll pick it up. There's good case law already in existence that fortifies our stock in mind.
chase geiser
Absolutely. Make sure you guys call in 877-789-2539.
We will be taking your calls in the next segment with this awesome guest, Matthew Kolkin.
Make sure you visit infowars.store.com and get yourself something special.
unidentified
Welcome back to the American Journal.
chase geiser
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm your host today, Chase Geiser, filling in for the great Harrison Smith, who will be back next week as soon as he beats the pink guy.
I think he gave my daughter, by the way.
We've got the great Matthew Culkin on air with us right now.
We will be taking calls this segment.
We've got some in the queue that we're going to take.
Call in 877-792539 if you want to be added to the list, and we'll try to get to your call as quickly as possible.
Before we take the first call, Matthew, you mentioned a specific case that we were about ready to get to at the end of the last segment.
What's going on? Not sure if you can hear me, Matthew.
Well, we're having a little bit of a hard time getting connected with Matthew right now.
So what I'm going to do is take a call and then hopefully we can get him back situated with us and have him on air with us.
So let's take Hobbs in Nebraska.
Hobbs, what is on your mind?
unidentified
Can you hear me? Hey, how's it going, Chase?
hobbs in nebraska
Good morning. Good morning.
unidentified
What's up, man? Hey, I'm your boy Hobbs from Nebraska with the Roads to Liberty podcast.
hobbs in nebraska
I just wanted to give a quick gun rights update here in Nebraska.
LB-77, which is Nebraska's constitutional carry bill.
unidentified
Last time I talked to Harrison, I called in and talked to him about that.
hobbs in nebraska
I was hoping he would be hosting today.
I know he's a huge Futurama fan, and I wanted to say, good news, everyone!
Because LB-77 LB-77 passed the second round of debates day before yesterday.
It passed 35 to 10.
And it's moving on to the third round.
And once it passes the third round, it'll go to the governor's desk for signings.
So Nebraska is on the edge of having constitutional carry.
chase geiser
Wow. Well, thank you so much for your call.
I appreciate that, Hobbs. I'm going to see if we can bounce back to Matthew.
Matthew, have we got you reconnected to the call, man?
matthew kolken
Yeah. I can hear you.
chase geiser
Can you hear me? Yep, you sound great.
So what was that case that you were going to get to at the end of the last segment?
matthew kolken
It's USV Miller.
It's a case from 39.
It deals with a guy who was prosecuted for having a sawed-off shotgun.
It makes it all the way up to the Supreme Court.
He's unrepresented. He dies.
And in any event, they rule that it's constitutional to be able to ban...
Sawed-off shotguns.
But the decision, even though it was somewhat anti-Second Amendment, it actually lays out the entire case for why semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines are specifically protected by the Second Amendment.
And they basically said that they go through the whole history and traditions of the United States, which is with regards to the militia system, and that is that the citizens of the We're expected to own their own weapons so that when called to service in a militia, they had their own firearm, they had their own ammunition, they had all the necessary equipment and training to be able to get right in the front lines to be able to defend our country.
And that any weapon that would ordinarily be carried by an infantryman In a theater of war is specifically protected by the Second Amendment.
So if U.S. v.
Miller, if the meat of U.S. v.
Miller gets revisited, we're going to have, I think that there's going to be an expansion of our rights because forget about whether or not semi-automatic rifles are constitutionally protected class firearm.
Fully automatic rifles should be I'm dealing with,
unidentified
up here in Canada, We're in a Senate petition for our opposition leader because our CHICOM handpicked prime minister has basically shut down any debate on our internet censorship bill.
Tell me a little bit about the internet censorship bill that's going on in Canada.
Where our freedoms are being taken away.
Where he's going after innocent people and taking money away from them.
And then virtual signaling.
chase geiser
Yeah, I remember his speech where he's like, let me be clear.
unidentified
In Canada, you can no longer purchase a handgun or sell a handgun.
matthew kolken
Can you do that in blackface for me?
unidentified
I'd love to. He's got a black face, brown face, and any other face except the face of the truth.
chase geiser
That's right, man.
Well, I'm sorry that you're going through that.
I hope that they're able to get Trudeau out of office there in Canada.
And if you guys ever do actually have a revolution in Canada, don't worry.
I will much more quickly join the Canadian Legionnaires than the Ukrainian Legionnaires.
I want to hear from Joe in New York.
Joe, what's going on, man?
unidentified
How you doing, man? What's going on, fellas?
Good. Yeah, I was... I was listening to a Reese report, and they mentioned something about, you know, the sheriff's arm.
And so I decided to call my sheriff.
And in the mission statement of his website, nowhere does it say that he will support and defend the Constitution of the United States.
So I decided to make a call.
I pick up the phone, I call the people, I get an attitude and hung up on.
chase geiser
Wow. What do you think about that, Culkin?
I've only been to New York City one time, but that's very New York.
I'm calling the sheriff because he doesn't have anything about the Constitution in his gosh dang mission statement.
What do you think about that, Culkin?
matthew kolken
Well, we saw exactly what law enforcement is willing to do when our constitutional rights are being abridged.
We were shut down and locked out and masked up.
And anyone that, and unless you were protesting for black lives, you were told to stay in your homes and have your property and your businesses taken from you without due process.
And the sheriffs in this state, they complied with the mandates of the governor.
chase geiser
Absolutely. Kelly in Arizona, I want to hear from you because you have some thoughts on the Greater Idaho Movement.
Then after this call, I want to make sure that Matthew has the opportunity to plug where people can follow him.
Kelly, what are your thoughts on the Greater Idaho Movement?
unidentified
Well, the Greater Idaho Movement has been around for decades.
I was born and raised in North Idaho, and actually it was supposed to be counties in Oregon and Washington State and Montana and North Idaho was going to be one state.
Because North Idaho absolutely does not like Southern Idaho.
They have been gypped every year by their state congressmen that they give all the money to the big city people and everything.
North Idaho is a mining community.
And a forestry industry.
And they get absolutely nothing.
No support from their state government whatsoever.
So in order for the Oregon County succession to happen, North Idaho would also have to succeed from Southern Idaho.
Absolutely. Because Southern Idaho is so blue, it's not even sunny.
chase geiser
Interesting. Thank you for that call, Kelly.
What are your thoughts on that call? I mean, this is just what we were talking about with these disenfranchised, working-class American communities constantly being exploited by the sort of political class, whether it's at the state level or the federal level.
matthew kolken
I guess I need to save my pennies to build a bunker in New Zealand with all the other tech billionaires.
chase geiser
Yeah, absolutely. But, you know, New Zealand and Australia, I know they're two different nations.
I always think it's the same thing, but they didn't handle the pandemic that well.
There were some major restrictions in New Zealand, I believe, during the pandemic as well.
matthew kolken
Yeah, it doesn't make a difference if you own a bunker.
chase geiser
That's right. So where can people find you and follow you and engage with you, Matthew?
matthew kolken
Go to Twitter. I'm at mkolken, M-K-O-L-K-E-N. Awesome.
chase geiser
That's the best place to reach, Matthew.
Matthew, it's been an honor and a pleasure to have you on the show today.
And we've just got about 90 seconds left.
So are there any final thoughts that you would like to share with the audience before we go to the great Alex Jones show in the next hour?
matthew kolken
Yeah, Alex, if you're listening, get Chase on Joe Rogan's show.
That's what I'm telling you.
That's my message. Just send me the invoice, too.
