You're tuned in to the American Journal with your host Harrison Smith.
Watch it live right now at band.video.
You know Michelle is a trend.
I'm sorry, she's a what?
A transgender.
We all know. And the friend likes to ask the question, are you a boy or a girl?
And Mash answers, I'm just a kid.
But a kid. But kids can be boys or girls.
They can be boys or girls.
Yeah. Yeah.
Excuse me, it's ma'am.
It is ma'am.
I need your corporate number.
Because I'm gonna talk- call them and talk about how I was misgendered several times in this store.
You're not being polite to the pronouns.
Disrespect. Okay, forget about the disrespect.
Facts don't care about your feelings.
It turns out that every chromosome, every cell in Caitlyn Jenner's body is male, with the exception of some of his sperm cells.
You cut that out now, or you'll go home in an ambulance.
Yeah, that seems mildly inappropriate for a political discussion.
alex jones
There's all these calls here.
For the International Day of Rage of the Trans People.
Men that think they're women and women that think they're men out with sandwich boards with images of rifles saying trans rights or else.
And the main trans resistance movement came out and said, the shooter's a victim too.
You made him do it.
karine jean-pierre
When it's a her. One of the things that we saw during the midterm elections is that people don't want their freedoms to be taken.
They want us to fight for their freedoms.
And so it is shameful, it is disturbing, and our hearts go out to the trans community as they are under attack right now.
joy reid
in the fight for human rights we must affirm that trans rights are human rights there is still a lot that we don't know about monday's horrific and deadly mass shooting at a But after police said the suspect was transgender, one thing is clear.
Tennessee's already under siege transgender community is terrified.
One advocate told NBC News, we are already fearing for our lives.
Now it's even worse.
The right-wing moral panic over transgender people living their lives or seeking medical care or simply existing obviously predates the Nashville massacre.
But some on the right are linking the tragedy to their raging nationwide crusade against transgender people in ways that are just dangerous and Frankly, evil.
unidentified
Three adults, two nine-year-olds, and one about to turn nine had been shot dead.
Moreover, when we advance equality and racial justice and invest in young people, protect the LGBTQ plus of individuals, our societies are not only fairer, but they're stronger.
alex jones
International Day of Rage and Violence coming up.
April 1st, and it's an image of a trans person with an AR-15.
Nobody's gonna save them!
Why? The state isn't getting access to children to sterilize them.
They're putting up a little bit of a fight.
So the answer is, let's go out and get violent.
Notice a pattern? Colorado Springs shooter identifies as non-binary.
Denver shooter identified as trans.
The Evaldi shooter was into that too.
Aberdeen shooter identifies as trans.
Nashville shooter identified as trans.
Confused, freaked out, whacked out people on major, major, major hormones.
unidentified
For someone who identifies as transgender, however, that's not a problem in their body.
Gender identity, all identities, they're in our thoughts.
Thoughts and feelings, those are not hardwired.
They develop. And they may be factually wrong or factually correct.
The definition of a delusion is a fixed false belief.
Guys, you're not protecting a kid by cutting his wiener off!
You kids! You should not have your feet!
harrison smith
All right, folks, find and share that video at band.video and infowars.com.
It's called Biden Trans Army Blitzkrieg.
A montage of...
A new form of psychosexual terrorism we're dealing with.
Just throw it on the pile.
Throw it on the pile of nonsense we have to deal with today.
And we will. Stay with us.
unidentified
Don't go anywhere, folks. It's Wednesday, April 5th, year of our Lord, 2023.
You're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith.
Watch it live right now at band.video.
harrison smith
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to The American Journal. I'm your host, Harrison Smith, InfoWars.com, band.video.
Welcome to the show, folks.
unidentified
It's a lot of bad news today.
harrison smith
A lot of bad news today. It's going to be a recitation of losses that we've taken over the last 24 hours.
Got to be honest with you. It's pretty bad.
It's pretty bad. We won't just be talking about domestic politics, mayoral races, Supreme Court decisions, political persecution of a former president, trans-terrorism.
It's just... Which is all coming down.
It's just a hurricane of nonsense that we'll continue to deal with.
But we're also going to talk about, quite a bit, about the international news front.
I think we'll do an extended segment with Simon from Florida today, talk about what's going on in the Mideast as a lot of stuff has developed there.
And we'll cover some of the violence that broke out last night in and around Israel.
We also hope to be hearing from a couple other special calls.
We'll be opening up the calls early today and taking your calls throughout the show.
Looking for solutions.
Desperate call for some sort of feasible idea.
We'll talk about it.
But... Yeah, I don't, I just, it's bad, folks.
It's real bad. Yeah, it's real bad, and we'll get to it.
I don't know. I didn't wake up this morning feeling hopeless, but, man.
Should we just get it? I guess let's just get into it.
Let's just get into it, shall we?
Yeah, well, here it is, your daily dispatch.
Here it is, folks, your daily dispatch for Wednesday, the 5th of April, 2023.
3.
Brandon Johnson wins Chicago mayoral race.
Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson, a paid organizer for the Chicago Teachers Union, will become Chicago's 57th mayor.
And yeah, so they got rid of Lori Lightfoot, first mayor of Chicago, in decades to do so poorly that she was not re-elected.
For another term, only to be replaced by somebody potentially worse than her.
So, okay.
Not sure what the thinking is there.
But, yeah, he's a pretty extreme progressive who, during the Black Lives Matter insurrection, called for the complete disbanding of the police altogether.
He's now the mayor of Chicago.
So... I guess my message to Chicagoans is just get out.
Just get out now. Just get out now.
There's no safe in your city.
My God. Just pretty incredible.
Again, former CTU President Jesse Sharkey, who's gone back to teaching 9th grade civics at South Shore High School, has said success of a CTU-backed candidate is profoundly gratifying more than a decade after social justice-oriented leaders took over the union.
And of course, as we know, You know, the Chicago—the social justice warriors took over the Chicago Union, and ever since then, the Chicago schools have just done incredibly well.
I know—I know you're thinking that just about a week ago we had a story that over half of the students in Chicago couldn't do math at grade level and just like 50 percent illiteracy, but— It's not about real achievements.
It's about social justice.
It's about the perception of achievements.
It's about rigging the outcome so it looks like the process to get there was a positive one.
unidentified
So that's the first...
harrison smith
You know, Major L that we've taken the last 24 hours on top of, of course, Donald Trump being indicted for 34 felony counts that they don't even list the crime that he committed on the charges.
Just complete...
All just complete madness.
Like, I honestly don't even know how to talk about this stuff anymore, but we'll move on.
Janet Protoswiskisk...
Call her Janet P. Defeats Dan Kelly in Wisconsin's Supreme Court race, flipping control of the court.
A Democratic-backed Milwaukee judge won the high-stakes Wisconsin Supreme Court race Tuesday, ensuring liberals will take over the majority control of the court for the first time in 15 years with the fate of the state's abortion ban pending.
Another major thing that would be decided by the Supreme Court would be things like voter ID laws.
So, there's that.
Goodbye, Wisconsin as well.
We just need a map of America.
We just black parts out.
Just like, alright, that part has fallen into the shadow realm now.
And it will never return.
Oh, look at her.
That's a face she can trust, isn't it?
With the obnoxious neon cat eyeglasses.
Oh, Judge Karen is now presiding.
There's been a lot of...
Mine are much cooler than that, to be honest with you.
It's just, again, it's just wild.
It's just wild. And, you know, the number one response I've seen on Twitter about this is a bunch of people who have never talked about it before being mad that nobody's talked about it before.
It's kind of weird. It's kind of strange.
A whole bunch of conservative commenters being like, oh, everybody ignored this race that we just lost.
You can, like, scroll through their Twitter and it's like, well, you've never mentioned it.
Who are you mad at? What are you mad at again?
Yeah, we got some work to do, folks.
We got a lot of work to do.
Meanwhile, Justin, the Biden administration announces another $2.6 billion in weapons aid to Ukraine.
So, hey, at least someone's doing well.
At least someone's getting something for nothing.
It's not the American people.
It's not the American citizens, but literally everybody else is really making bank off what we got going on here.
The Department of Defense announces critical new security assistance for Ukraine.
It's critical this time, you guys.
This includes authorization of a presidential drawdown of security assistance with more ammunition for U.S.-provided HIMARS, air defense interceptors, and artillery rounds that Ukraine is using to defend itself, as well as anti-armor systems, small arms, heavy equipment, transport vehicles, and maintenance support essential to strengthening Ukraine transport vehicles, and maintenance support essential to strengthening Ukraine defenders on the battlefield valued at up to $500 million.
In addition, we are announcing a significant package of air defense capabilities, as well as artillery and tank ammunition, mortar systems, rockets, and anti-armor systems using $2.1 billion in Ukraine Security Assistant Initiative funds.
laughs - Yeah, it's just raining money.
unidentified
It's just raining money.
harrison smith
Again, we'll just...
What is there even to say? What is there even to comment on any of this?
Just like... Again, we'll get more into all of this as we move on through the show.
But in international news here, Al-Aqsa Mosque raid how a night of worship became a night of Israeli brutality.
Palestinian witnesses describe how the beatings and violence Israeli forces meted out on worshippers was far worse than the online footage shows.
Footage of heavily armed Israeli soldiers smashing their batons and guns down on cowering Palestinian worshippers in Al-Aqsa's Al-Kibi prayer hall during Ramadan sparked outrage worldwide on Wednesday morning.
The reality said Abdullah Jaber, a teenager from Jerusalem who was assaulted in the prayer hall and detained by Israeli forces on Tuesday night, was much, much worse.
And here you can see just a little bit of the full-on battle taking place in Al-Aqsa Mosque after Israeli forces literally tore down a wall to break in.
Just pretty wild stuff.
Of course, Al-Aqsa Mosque is sort of a...
It's a key geographic location worldwide for the New World Order and their ultimate plans as...
It is the location upon which the third temple will be rebuilt, from which the world government will be administrated.
Finally, we have this story.
just state of oregon denies woman's application to adopt based on her christian faith so this this is where we are now the state of oregon is denying the application of a woman who wants to adopt because she's christian and will not agree to support gender transition if the child she adopts ends up becoming trans this is where the left has planned to take this argument from the start at It's a backdoor way to openly discriminate against people of faith.
So you don't want to participate in the LGBT sacraments.
I mean, if you're a high school kid, you'll be expelled from the school.
If you try to go to the school, you'll be arrested.
That happened about a month ago. If you're quietly praying, silently praying in your own mind outside of an abortion clinic, you'll be arrested in the UK. And now if you profess the Christian faith, you will be precluded from the ability to adopt because, well, we're not under a Christian faith anymore, I guess. There's music way too uplifting.
Music's way too uplifting for my mood right now.
What is this? Let's play the Mordor theme next time we come in, shall we?
Feels a little bit more like being in Mordor right now than it does, you know, marching across the fields of Pelennor.
Welcome back, folks. This is the American Journal.
We're going to open up the phone lines for your calls nice and early today.
You can take your calls throughout the show.
Again, it's getting bad out there, folks.
It's getting real bad out there.
Let's start today with, again, what's been the topic of the last several days, which is the just open political persecution of Republicans by Democrats who...
It's essentially just a...
It's just a thing now.
It's just what you do.
When you get power, you don't respect that power and wield that power with humility, understanding that you've only been given that power in the pursuit of certain obligations that you have to fulfill, but rather it's just a license to use that power to pursue your own ends, regardless of anything else.
And that's what we're experiencing here, of course.
And it was on display yesterday with Donald Trump getting arrested and having to plead not guilty.
He gave a speech last night.
We covered it here live on InfoWars.
You can find that video at InfoWars.com.
But the district attorney, Bragg, gave a little press conference as well.
And it was something else, folks.
Let's go to clip number two here.
This is DA Bragg. A little bizarre statement for the district attorney of New York City to make these days, but let's listen and figure out what he's talking about here.
unidentified
Felony crimes in New York State, no matter who you are, we cannot and will not normalize serious criminal conduct.
The defendant repeatedly made false statements on New York business records.
He also caused others.
harrison smith
So a couple things.
Just a couple things there.
You know, it's just, he says we will not normalize serious criminal conduct.
Well, if everything that Trump has been accused of is true, it does not rise to even really moderately criminal conduct, but serious criminal conduct?
So when you're at a restaurant and you add your tip, but you add it incorrectly, and so when you fill out the total, it's a little bit off between the tip and the charge and then what your total is.
That's serious criminal conduct to DA Bragg.
However, if you're out there, I don't know, kicking people onto subway tracks or...
Beating strangers in the head with an iron bar.
I mean, then you'll be out right away.
I mean, that's being normalized.
The actual serious crimes are being normalized because they're devoting inordinate amount of time and resources to charging extremely minor political crimes from national figures in what should be federal cases.
I mean, it's just all of this is...
It's just utter nonsense.
Again, I don't know, you know, how do you talk about this when it's just so blatant and obvious?
It's not like we have to sit here and explain why all this is wrong.
It's just, it's in your face.
It's right there. If you can't see it, I don't know what to tell you how ridiculous all of this is.
So we'll just show you.
We'll just keep going. Here is another, here's a question that was posed to DA Bragg during this.
Press conference that he had. Clip number six here.
About, you know, something missing from the indictment.
Or is there something missing from the whole, you know, charging document that Donald Trump was arraigned on.
And that is the specific crime that he's accused of committing.
Yeah. No, seriously.
They didn't list the crime.
So let's watch clip number six now.
unidentified
Mr. Bragg, indictment says that there were 34 false business records.
And they were done to conceal another crime, but indictment does not specifically say what those crimes were.
We are assuming perhaps that they might be election related.
I'm wondering if you can specify what laws were also known.
So let me say as an initial matter that the indictment doesn't specify it because the law does not so require.
In my remarks, I mentioned a couple of laws which I will highlight again now.
The first is New York State election law, which makes it a crime to conspire to promote a candidacy by unlawful means.
I further indicated a number of unlawful means including more additional false statements, including statements that were planned to be made to tax authorities.
I also noted the federal election law cap on contribution limits.
But why weren't there those crimes charged?
Why was he charged with those crimes?
Well, I'm not going to go into our deliberative process on what was brought.
The charges that were brought were the ones that were brought.
The evidence in the law is the basis for those decisions.
harrison smith
Again, I'm honestly just baffled by this.
From the document introduction, the defendant Donald J. Trump repeatedly and fraudulently falsified New York business records to conceal criminal conduct that hid damaging information from the voting public during the 2016 presidential election.
But they don't say what the damaging information is.
They don't say what the criminal conduct is.
They're just like, no, trust us.
No, trust us.
It definitely happened. Because if there is no criminal conduct that they can point to, then this would be a very minor misdemeanor and the statutes of limitations would have expired.
He just said that it was criminal because he planned to make statements that were false.
I mean, I heard that correctly, right?
He said they planned to make statements to the tax authorities.
Did they make the statements, though?
Honestly, I'm just very confused here.
I'm just very confused.
It's like we're here strategizing over a game of Monopoly and And the people that are on the other side are just making up rules.
So it's like, how are you supposed to strategize?
How are you supposed to be like, alright, if they do this, we do this.
And if this happens here, this happens here.
When they're just like, oh, if I roll double threes, that means I get to take your hotel from this and put it over here.
That's the new rule now. And it's just like, okay, so I guess we're just, I guess you're just cheating.
I guess you're just cheating and there are no rules.
There is no strategy to, you know, combat.
It's just, it's just whatever you want to do.
You're just doing it. It continues, from August 2015 to December 2017, the defendant orchestrated a scheme with others to influence the 2016 presidential election by identifying and purchasing negative information about him to suppress its publication and benefits the defendant's electoral prospects.
So apparently he's being charged with illegal campaign contributions out of his...
I'm honestly just baffled by this.
I'm honestly just so confused by what they're even accusing Donald Trump of and how they're justifying this.
I mean, it shouldn't be hard to figure out what a crime that's committed is.
Crime's committed, you should be able to say, he stole that money from him.
He hit him with a car.
It should be simple. It's not because it's not real.
Oh yeah, much more appropriate.
Much more in spirit with, you know, in keeping with the spirit of the modern America we live in now.
Just imagine Tranny's twerking to this music and I think we've hit it on the head.
unidentified
Welcome to Mordor, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to Mordor.
Ain't nothing but orcs.
harrison smith
We'll keep going a little bit on this indictment of Donald Trump from yesterday because there's still more to unpack there.
But there's so much more going on.
Like, I really can't...
Here they are.
unidentified
Yeah. Yeah.
harrison smith
Yeah. I'm glad that we have things that reflect what I see when I look around the world today.
You've got Christians being denied adoption because they're Christian.
There's new things happening in the world today.
You've got France dispersing migrants from Paris to the countryside, actually paying them to stay there forever ahead of the Rugby World Cup in 2024 Summer Olympics.
So you're welcome, French countryside.
As classic novels get revised for today's readers, a debate about where to draw the line.
We'll talk about that.
Agatha Christie, Roald Dahl, James Bond books by Ian Fleming.
They're all being completely rewritten to comport with today's sensitivities.
Okay, alright. So it's full 1984 then.
Full, full on just the past must be rewritten.
There is only the interminable present.
Okay, great. Wonderful.
Violent assaults surge across New York City as officials exhaust resources on Trump.
Felony assaults on New Yorkers are continuing to rise across New York City, specifically in the boroughs of Manhattan.
And as Manhattan, in the borough of Manhattan, as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg exhausts city resources on a 34-count felony case against Foreign President Donald Trump.
In 2022, violent crime in New York City rose 23% with more than 126,500 arrests made for murder and non-negligent manslaughter, robbery, felony assault, rape, burglary, grand larceny, grand larceny auto.
The seven major crime categories, felony assaults, often random attacks on New Yorkers by career criminals with extensive rap sheets, totaled more than 26,000 last year.
This represents a 60% increase from 2008 when felony assaults were at a significant low, even compared to recent prior years, felony assaults in 2020.
So, up 30% in five years.
Last year's surge in felony assaults on New Yorkers is continuing into this year, of course, as a direct consequence of the reimagining of justice in that city.
See, they're reimagining justice into something entirely different.
They're reimagining the justice system as something that is there to provide for the Attainment of justice from people who have been unfairly targeted for criminal activity into a tool for the Democrats to destroy their political opponents.
They're reimagining the whole damn thing.
And it really is something else.
Again, I've poured over this stuff.
I'm trying to figure out what it is even that allowed all of these charges to go forward.
It is baffling.
It really is something else.
Like when it comes to people like Joe Biden or Hillary Clinton, you can pretty much just point to exactly what happened, right?
So you got like Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State, presides over a total breakdown of security in Libya where a U.S. ambassador is brutally murdered.
Under her watch, while of course transporting illegal weapons to fund and carry out a proxy war in Syria on behalf of Israel.
But that's not even the point I'm talking about.
It's pretty simple, right?
They're like, oh, this really bad thing happened.
We want to investigate it.
Preserve your records. And in response, she destroys her hard drives with a hammer and completely wipes her illegal email server so the investigation cannot be carried out.
Because she openly destroyed evidence after it had been subpoenaed.
It's not that complicated, right? I don't need to explain to you why that's illegal or the intricacies of it.
I don't have to throw a bunch of numbers at you to try to make it sound like this big.
It's just a crime. It's just...
Here's how she broke the law.
And then, of course, the response to that was James Comey giving a speech on television about how she did break the law.
Definitely. Definitely the law was broken.
There's no denying that. But we like her, so we're not going to charge her.
You're welcome, America.
So when it comes to Donald Trump, there is no simply explaining what exactly happened and what exactly he did.
And it really is baffling because you've got articles that talk about They call it like an illegal campaign contribution, but it was the campaign paying money?
None of it makes any damn sense.
I'm really trying to wrap my mind around how not only this has actually made its way to the indictment, but he's now potentially facing a maximum of 136 years in prison over these sham charges.
For what again? For mislabeling?
For mislabeling a payment that he made?
Is it... So it's tax fraud?
Is it tax fraud? Is it a campaign contribution?
If it's a campaign thing, then how could it have affected the campaign if the payments were made in 2017?
He was already president by then.
Just none of it is anything.
Like again, how do you even...
How do you even talk about it? How do you even do this?
From Postmillennial, Bragg claims Trump's alleged $130,000 payment to Michael Cohen was an illegal campaign contribution.
So the candidate paid somebody else, and that's a campaign contribution somehow.
Or rather, it's because, you know, according to that other...
Excerpt we were reading. It has something to do with legal services that weren't really legal services.
I mean, just all of it. All of it is just complete nonsense.
We're going to move on to other stuff because, again, I can't even explain how empty this entire thing is.
I mean, it should be embarrassing.
And, again, it's not even that they would do this.
Like, so many things these days...
It's the fact that everybody in America seems okay with it.
Like, it's one thing if, like, you know, you got Black Lives Matter burning down a city.
It's like, well, they're crazy rioters.
Of course they're gonna burn down a city.
But then to see CNN standing in front of the flames and saying it was peaceful, and then to see other people be like, that was a totally peaceful protest.
And like everybody, like everybody you talk to that's not an info warrior, that's not like actually seeking out stuff, they're all just like in favor of it.
Well, they're just like, yeah, they burned down the city.
Good. They should.
Because, you know, percentages of crime rates.
It's just like, what do you... So, you know, it's not even that...
The Democrats would use their power to go after an opponent.
It's that all the normal people are cheering it on.
They're all just ready for this.
They're all just ready to just...
They're just sick of having to actually make arguments.
They're sick of having to actually win against an opponent.
They are just ready to move on to the next phase in which...
The Democratic control system just starts charging political opponents, just starts throwing them in jail.
People are talking about, you know, Donald Trump Jr.
posted the fact that the judge in this case is, like, deeply connected to Democrat politics, and they're just like, arrest Donald Trump Jr.
I've seen calls all over Twitter of people calling to arrest Donald Jr.
now, because why not? The floodgate is open.
unidentified
All right, folks, again, we just...
harrison smith
I'll read you a New York Times article that'll explain exactly why I'm just, like, utterly baffled by all of this.
Because they are too. Because they're baffled too.
Like, even the people that are in favor of this are like, we're not really sure what's going on, but it's our enemy, so do what you have to.
Like, it's crazy.
It really is just absolutely insane as you read through this.
How, like, even the New York Times article is just like, he's charging him on this, which actually doesn't apply.
And he's charging him on this, which he actually doesn't have the authority to charge him on.
And he's charging him on this, which is a novel legal theory that we've never heard before.
It's like, So you're admitting this is just blatant just making crap up to charge Donald Trump and just bending the law wherever you see fit.
You're admitting that. You get that that's what they're doing.
And I'll show you the article in just a second.
But first I want to go to clip number eight here.
Trump's legal team spoke to the press yesterday on the unsealing of the records showing that the rule of law has utterly died in this country.
unidentified
Let's watch. When you say what his reaction was, what do you expect his reaction was?
I mean, his reaction was exactly what would happen if it happened to anybody that I'm looking at now or anybody that's hearing what you're saying.
He's frustrated. He's upset.
But I'll tell you what, he's motivated.
And it's not going to stop him.
And it's not going to slow him down.
And it's exactly what he expected.
And so to that extent, there's no surprise.
But he's also...
He's also... Upset and frustrated and disappointed and mad that this happened.
What about the warnings against his implicit rhetoric on the office of our president's question?
Well, there was not a warning. What do you mean?
joy reid
From the judge, talking about...
unidentified
The judge did not warn. The district attorney made a statement addressing what they perceived to be...
I'm not sure what the words they use.
Inappropriate rhetoric of some sort.
Obviously, we responded.
And the judge just took it in.
The judge didn't warn. He asked the parties to consider what they're saying and not saying.
Guys, he did not admonish the president.
No, there was no admonishment.
He did not request that the president not use language that would incite violence or civil unrest.
He did not request that the president not use language.
He requested that everybody involved.
Correct. I don't know where you got that.
No, it wasn't. And first of all, first of all, first of all, that picture was not swinging a baseball bat.
joy reid
I mean, if you want to distort the facts, go right ahead.
unidentified
I want to address that. Yes, it is.
He wasn't swinging a baseball bat at anyone's head.
That was a picture of him showing off an American-made bat.
Someone else put a picture of the district attorney next to him and in an article posted that.
That's not his article. It's not his photos.
It's not using language that incites Guys, here's what we're going to talk about today.
Here's what we're going to talk about today.
We're going to talk about the insufficiency of this case.
And I will say this to you. Today's unsealing of this indictment shows that the rule of law died in this country.
Because while everyone is not above the law, no one's below it either.
And if this man's name was not Donald J. Trump, there is no scenario we'd all be here today.
Please understand that based on these charges...
When? Yeah, 8 o'clock.
joy reid
I don't know! You'll hear it!
harrison smith
So we can take that down.
So again, I guess there was something about the judges being like, hey, let's tone down the rhetoric.
And they're just like, when the judge told Donald Trump to stop threatening him, how did that make him feel?
It's just like, they're just making crap up.
It's so wild.
And of course this is again sort of another one of these things.
It goes back to what we were talking about yesterday with Where it's like, if you question the election, that means you're a terrorist because other people may want to do violence because their vote doesn't matter anymore and we don't live in a democracy anymore.
And if you point that out, then it's your fault and you're the one.
And they did it with the southern border earlier this year, right?
If you talk about how the southern border is open, really it's your fault that it's open.
So you're the one to blame for the crisis if you talk about how there's a crisis.
It's this very bizarre...
Alchemy that goes on in their head where if you go hey you know this judge is extremely politically aligned with the Democrats.
He's a Democrat donor and has been for a long time.
His daughter is employed by the current I don't know.
It's literally a National File article of him holding a bat, and they're like, you threatened to hit him in the head with a bat.
Why would you do that?
Okay. Incredible.
Alvin Bragg wants Trump trial in January 2024 during the Republican primary.
Yeah, just hold off for 12 months.
Ten months to get it.
I mean, just again, these people.
That's the story from Infowars.com.
Trump could face a maximum of 136 years in prison over sham charges.
It's from Gateway Pundit. Again, it's just like, how can campaign giving money out be an illegal contribution to the campaign?
It's all nonsense.
Judge tells Trump to refrain from making statements that are likely to incite violence and civil unrest.
Anything that might make the American people mad, it'll be illegal.
Anything that will make the American people distrust or have anger towards their government, no, no, that's illegal, right?
There's no First Amendment anymore.
There's no talking about the inadequacies or corruption of your government or else people will not like the government, and that's illegal.
So can't do that.
Incitement to violence, right?
Because clearly, as we've been told over and over and over, relentlessly without any proof, it's the Republicans that are the biggest terror threat in this country.
I mean, sure, I mean, sure, Democrats are the ones, you know, running over Christmas parades in their cars and smashing their cars into voter registration tents that are filled with Republicans and taking pipe bombs to January 6th protests and trying to break into the Supreme Court justices house to assassinate running over Christmas parades in their cars and smashing their cars And also just straight up murdering some of the representatives like happened multiple times in just this year.
I mean, sure, most all and all of those 100 percent of those were all leftists.
Violence against Republicans.
And yeah, I know there was that one time that a guy threw two unopened beer cans at Ted Cruz from like 50 yards away and could have seriously injured or killed him.
And he wasn't actually charged with anything.
He was let out without even so much as a slap on the wrist despite...
A deadly assault against a sitting member of Congress, and that again was a Republican being attacked by a liberal.
But they just keep telling us that it's the Republicans that are the dangerous ones.
So if Republicans complain, that is therefore incitement to violence because of the violence that they keep making up that Republicans do.
I mean, this is the madness that we're dealing with, and it is beyond description.
So the New York Times article says, a surprise accusation bolsters a risky case against Trump.
And it just goes through how, like, none of the charges make sense at all.
I mean, it admits it in this New York Times article.
The indictment lists 34 counts of bookkeeping fraud.
Whoa, whoa, bookkeeping fraud.
How will the republic survive?
Related to Mr. Trump's reimbursement in 2017 to Michael Cohen, his former lawyer and fixer, just before the 2016 election, Mr.
Cohen made a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels, who said she and Mr.
Trump had an extramarital affair.
Okay, great. So Michael Cohen made a payment, and now there's some sort of bookkeeping error that they didn't talk about, and now the republic has to be over.
Now we have to indict our political opponents because of that, I guess.
concerning those payments to Mr. Cohen.
An accompanied statement of facts said, falsely characterized them as being for legal services.
So he paid a lawyer and denoted those payments as legal services, and that's illegal, I guess.
Bookkeeping fraud is normally a misdemeanor.
For it to rise to a felony, prosecutors must show that a defendant intended to commit a crime, aid, or conceal a second crime, raising the question of what other crime Mr. Bragg would contend is involved.
Again, this isn't how this is supposed to happen.
This is supposed to be like...
It's supposed to be like an addition to a crime, right?
It's supposed to be like you murdered somebody and then you kept cashing their social security check to cover up the fact that they were dead.
So it's like, okay, the real crime is the murder that you committed, and then you committed this other crime to cover up that murder.
But this is their charging for the cover-up, but don't even tell you what the crime is.
Like, it's insane. It is absolutely baseless.
It's wild that this is going on, and that even the New York Times is like, they can't even come up with why this is good or okay.
Like, they just are admitting. On Tuesday, Mr.
Bragg suggested that prosecutors are putting forward multiple theories for a second crime.
Yeah, they'll figure one out.
Why not? There's got to be something we can come up with.
Multiple theories for the second crime, potentially giving judges and jurors alternative routes to finding that bookkeeping fraud was a felony.
So it's like, at the most, a misdemeanor, but they're like, but you can come up with something to make it a felony.
I'm sure. That's New York Times saying this.
This is how utterly baseless this is.
They talk about it as a matter of substance.
It's not really a crime.
As a matter of a legal process...
It's completely untenable and ridiculous.
I'll continue with this story on the other side.
I'm just going to read this New York Times story verbatim, and it just tells you that, like, none of this makes any sense, none of these charges are legitimate, and they don't even try to make the argument that they are.
This is where we are now. I'm completely serious, folks.
This New York Times article...
There is no redeeming aspect.
It's not like, well, we're on a little bit of shaky ground over here, but this is rock solid.
And, well, while the charges may be, you know, not proven yet, if they were to be proved, it would be a big deal.
Like, there's none of that. It's just a list of how everybody and every expert points to this and goes, there's like a million reasons why this makes no damn sense whatsoever.
Like, not even a little bit.
Okay? So it's bookkeeping fraud.
Oh, bookkeeping fraud.
Oh, no. Oh, not bookkeeping fraud.
Which, by the way, like...
Wasn't there like a half-million-dollar payment, the Clinton administration, something about a Steele dossier, something about getting charged for that?
I feel like I remember something about this happening to a much greater degree in a way that affected not only national security but destroyed the ability of our government to function for several years and pleading guilty to that.
Something about that strikes me in the mirror.
I don't know. Maybe we'll look that up later.
Again, the indictment listed 34 counts of bookkeeping fraud, oh dear, because Michael Cohen paid money to Stormy Daniels.
So, okay. But bookkeeping fraud is a misdemeanor, so shouldn't have been charged, but it could be a rise to a felony if there's another crime.
It was being used to cover up, but there was no other crime that was being used to cover up because the affair of Stormy Daniels wasn't a cover up.
The payoff of Stormy Daniels wasn't illegal.
I mean, none of this was illegal.
There was no underlying crime, and they point that out in this article over and over.
On Tuesday, Mr. Bragg suggested the prosecutors are putting forward multiple theories.
Yeah, why not? Why not?
Just, when I say yesterday, throw the book at Trump and see what sticks.
Potentially giving judges and jurors alternative routes to finding that bookkeeping fraud was a felony.
Like, it's not a felony.
It's a misdemeanor.
But here's a bunch of excuses you can use to call it a felony.
As a matter of substance, it's ambiguous whether paying off a mistress that was a campaign expenditure or a personal one.
Okay, so it's ambiguous as a matter of substance.
As a matter of legal process, to cite federal law raises the untested question of whether a state prosecutor can invoke a federal crime even though he lacks jurisdiction to charge that crime himself.
Still, Article 175 does not say that the second intended crime must be a state law offense.
To cite state law raises the questions of why New York election laws would apply to a federal election, a presidential election, which is governed by federal laws that generally supersede state laws.
So how many reasons for this being nonsense is it?
It's a misdemeanor.
They don't have an underlying crime to update it to a felony.
They can't even say whether paying off the mistress was a campaign expenditure or a personal one.
it's He's a state prosecutor, and he's invoking a federal crime, and he's also invoking state election rules for a federal presidential election.
So what is that, five different ways that this makes no damn sense whatsoever, and we're halfway through the article?
Mr. Bragg pointed to both state and federal election law.
He cited a New York state election law that makes it a misdemeanor to conspire to promote a candidacy by unlawful means, but did not explain why the law would apply to a presidential election.
He also described a federal cap on campaign contributions without indicating why he had the authority to invoke a crime he could not himself charge.
Okay, so seven reasons why this makes no sense?
Here's an eighth reason.
How is a campaign paying money an illegal campaign contribution?
Again, just madness across the board.
His wording was ambiguous in places.
At one point, he seemed to suggest that a planned false statement to New York tax authorities was just an example of the ways by which Mr.
Trump and Mr. Cohen purportedly violated state law against conspiring to promote a candidate through unlawful means.
Again, there's nothing unlawful about...
Paying off somebody who's like extorting you or blackmailing you for a negative story that may or may not even be true as we have signed documents by both Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen that none of this ever happened.
Like it's just baseless doesn't even scratch the surface on what this is.
It's also a crime to submit false information to state government.
At another point, Mr. Bragg seemed to put forward an alleged plan to lie to tax authorities in intention to say Mr.
Cohen had earned income for legal service.
So again, now they're just looking into the future and they're saying, well, but he intended to potentially consider doing something that is maybe a misdemeanor in a different jurisdiction.
So we got him, folks.
We got him. The walls have closed in on Trump.
We got him, I think. Second hour has begun here on American Journal.
We'll move on from this, but it's just the levels of insanity that we're dealing with.
Where even the media that is in favor of what's happening can't tell you why.
Can't tell you that this is legitimate in any regard.
It falls apart at every level.
And then on top of that, they're like, if you point out how this case is nonsense and that we're all super biased against you and also ran on the idea that we were going to prosecute you, which again is just insane.
It is completely demented that we live in a world where a DA can just be like, if you elect me, I will prosecute your political enemies.
And A, people vote for him.
This is where we are now.
And B, you don't even point to a crime that they committed.
It doesn't matter anymore, I guess.
And it just keeps going.
I'm not even done with this article, right?
So now they're into the speculation, the minority report pre-crime segment of the nonsense.
It's also a crime to submit false information to a state government.
Mr. Bragg seemed to put forward an alleged plan to lie to tax authorities.
So he didn't lie to tax authorities.
He may have planned to, but he's alleged to have planned to eventually maybe one day lie to tax authorities about something that wasn't a crime.
Okay, so charge the ex-president.
So charge the ex-president with this.
Okay, great. An intention to say Mr.
Cohen has earned an income for legal services performed in 2017 to launder what was in reality a repayment as a standalone offense.
So... Apparently there was an alleged plan to have an intention to lie to tax authorities that said Mr.
Cohen earned income for legal services when really he was being paid back for legal services in 2017 after the presidential election had been won.
And this represents an illegal election.
So, okay. So, Trump himself...
Was intending to lie about a payment he or his campaign made to Michael Cohen after he was president, and this somehow becomes an illegal campaign contribution to the president while he was still running for office.
I mean, again, am I missing something here?
I'm just reading the article.
There's no justification here.
In addition to covering up campaign finance crimes committed in 2016, Mr. Bragg said, quote, to get Michael Cohen his money back, they planned one false statement.
Oh, they planned a false statement.
In order to complete the scheme, Okay. Would it not be income?
If he's being repaid something?
If it's coming in?
I don't know.
We'll open up the phone lines. Maybe a legal scholar out there can explain to me how stuff that doesn't make any sense actually does.
Maybe you can lie to me like that.
It's wild. The prosecutor Christopher Conroy in the courtroom accused Mr.
Trump of causing the Trump Organization to create a series of false business records, adding that he even mischaracterized for tax purposes the true nature of the payment.
He called it a legal expense because he was paying a lawyer.
And I'm sure it was Trump, too.
I'm sure Trump is sitting there with his Excel spreadsheet open, you know, filling out his own taxes while he's president of the United States.
Just, again, what am I even supposed to say about this?
The prosecutor cited the possibility of planned false statements on tax filings.
It struck some legal specialists as particularly significant, given the speculation over how bookkeeping fraud charges would rise to felonies.
The reference to false tax filings may save the case from legal challenges that may arise if the felony charges are predicated only on federal and state election laws, said Ryan Goodman, a law professor at New York University.
Indeed, a range of election law specialists on Tuesday expressed fresh doubt about whether Mr. Bragg could successfully use campaign finance laws alone to elevate the bookkeeping fraud charges to felonies.
Among those skeptics were Richard L. Hayson, a University of California at Los Angeles legal scholar, and Benjamin L. Ginsburg, a longtime election lawyer for the Republican Party and a critic of Mr. Trump.
Trump. Even with the additional claim about intended false statements to tax authorities, Robert Kellner, the chairman of the Election and Political Law Practice Group at the firm Covington& Burling, remained uncertain that it would show an intent to commit another crime.
Long story short, the New York Times just literally admits that none of this makes any damn sense whatsoever, and they're banking it all on the guilty plea from Michael Cohen from years ago.
Even with the addition of local prosecutors seemed to be relying in part on a bank shot exploiting Michael Cohen's guilty plea in federal campaign finance case.
But there were serious questions about the legal basis for the case against Cohen, making that a dubious foundation for a case against the former president.
Prosecutors also vaguely alluded to steps taken to violate tax laws, but they say little to establish what that might mean.
Still, Mr. Bragg emphasized that at this stage, prosecutors did not need to go into detail about what other crimes they believed Mr.
Trump intended to commit. Yeah, we don't need to tell you.
Just trust us. No, it was definitely a crime.
It was definitely a very complicated crime.
So you can just zoom out from this.
Just zoom out. Just look at this like an alien would look at it.
And it's just like, okay, so the President of the United States was blackmailed by potentially a former lover for $130,000 to cover up bad press.
Like a story that she was going to leak or take to the press and she demanded payment to not do that.
His lawyer apparently paid her off, and then he paid back his lawyer, and he labeled it legal expenses.
Like, that's what actually happened.
That's just what occurred.
And they can't even tell you where the crime is.
They can't even explain to you how any step of that is even a misdemeanor, and yet they're calling it 34 felonies.
I mean, and then the DA is just like, we're charging him with a crime, but we don't have to tell you what the crime is.
I mean, sure, that is an obvious and blatant violation of his Sixth Amendment, but so?
So what? We're doing it anyway.
We're just going to do it.
He will eventually have to show his hand.
Barry Kamens, a retired New York Supreme Court judge who is now in private practice, said the next phase of the case would require prosecutors to divulge more.
What's going to happen now is that the prosecutors are obligated to disclose things in Discovery, he said.
Defense counsel will learn in Discovery the nature of election laws violation, the tax issues that were raised by Mr.
Bragg in his statement of facts.
Remember the election laws that Mr.
Bragg does not have the jurisdiction to actually charge.
So, what is happening here?
I know we're spending a lot of time on this, but it's like...
It's necessary to just so thoroughly get into all of the various ways that this is just clearly a politicization.
I'm just going to stop using that word.
Just complete corruption of the judicial process.
And the headline of this article is, It's a surprise accusation bolsters a risky case against Trump.
So there's just nothing in the article that corresponds to that headline whatsoever.
And basically it's just a list of why none of this makes any sense.
Speculation about potential lies that could be used to cover up what isn't technically a crime but could be pursued as one if the bookkeeping label was wrong.
Alright, we'll open up the lines for your phone calls.

All right.
Welcome back, folks.
harrison smith
You know, you don't even need to compare what happened, what's happening to Donald Trump to anything else.
This isn't just a But it does help illustrate just how fabricated all of this is.
We can just go back to around this time last year, March 31st.
2022, DNC Clinton campaign agreed to steal dossier funding fine.
Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee have agreed to pay $113,000 to settle a Federal Election Commission investigation into whether they violated campaign finance laws by misreporting spending on research that eventually became the infamous Steele dossier.
That's according to the document sent Tuesday to the Cool Ridge Reagan Foundation, which had filed an administrative complaint in 2018 accusing the Democrats of misreporting payments made to a law firm during the 2016 campaign to obscure the spending.
The Clinton campaign hired Perkins Coie, which then hired Fusion GPS, a research and intelligence firm, to conduct opposition research on Republican candidate Donald Trump's ties to Russia.
But on FEC forms, the Clinton campaign classified the spending as legal services.
Almost exactly the same thing.
Except in this case, it was to falsify research that was then leaked to the press by the FBI in order to justify a Pfizer warrant that they got, even though they knew the information was fake, in order to launch an all-out investigation on Trump and all of his associates and to undermine his presidential career.
And, you know, really destroy the fabric of America.
So, but no, charge a guy for 34 counts for paying off a decade-old relationship that in no way was illegal.
I mean, it's just, I guess the term for it is anarcho-tyranny.
We're going to go to this video now.
I'm going to open up the phone lines first.
If you want to call in, the number to dial is 1-877-789-2539.
1-877-789-2539.
I guess Tucker Carlson debuted the phrase anarcho-tyranny on his show last night.
A phrase that we are rather prolific in using.
It's just an appropriate phrase.
Just exactly explains the situation that we increasingly find ourselves in.
And I'll explain what I mean by it on the other side.
But we want to go to whoever this girl is.
Kat Mambu or something.
But she's got like a million followers on Twitter and is here to explain.
We talked about this a little bit yesterday.
When we talk about the left, it's just like in-your-face overt evil.
Just corruption, just on all cylinders firing.
Just, there's no explanation needed.
It's just like they are chopping children's genitals off.
Like, it's just in-your-face, right?
It's just like beyond description.
You don't even need a description.
We don't even have to say anything.
I can just show you clips and just like point.
This whole show could be me just like...
You don't need to explain anything.
The left doesn't have that...
Doesn't have that ability because the people that they're against are generally decent, good, respectable people.
So their tactic is instead to decode what's being said.
To ignore the substance of what is actually being said and instead pick apart the dog whistles that they hear and that nobody else is even aware of.
I'm never even aware.
We'll show you the video and then we'll comment on it.
But here's this girl explaining to everybody, enlightening everybody, educating everyone about why criticizing the current state of utter destruction in this country actually makes you racist.

Let's watch. Tucker Carlson debuted his newest, very scary phrase last night.
And surprise, surprise, it was originally coined by a rabid white nationalist.
The term is anarcho-tyranny.
Because if there's one thing anarchists love, it's tyranny.
Tucker used this phrase to talk about the Trump indictment.
tucker carlson
You get state-sponsored anarchy accompanied by political tyranny.
unidentified
You gotta love state-sponsored anarchy.
Without the state, you've just got sparkling chaos.
Now, Tucker is obviously counting on his viewers to not think about it too hard, but he's also hoping that the origins of the phrase work as a dog whistle for his far-right viewers.
Because as dumb as the term anarcho-tyranny is, it originates from a prominent white nationalist writer named Sam Francis.
He's been described as the philosopher king of the far right, and he coined the term in 1994 with a very angry article titled, Anarcho Tyranny USA. Wanna guess what got him all riled up?
Seatbelt laws. I'm not kidding.
The entire first page is him whining about seatbelt laws.
And the article just spirals from there.
Francis rants about crack houses and gun control, but the staying power was in that phrase at the top, anarcho-tyranny.
I mean, it sounds scary, I'll give him that.
Which is probably why D-list Republicans have used it as a hook for their tired columns for the last 30 years.
The phrase has been applied to BLM protests, COVID restrictions, and now, of course, the Trump indictment.
And Tucker will undoubtedly use this phrase again.
It sounds way too menacing to leave it on the bench, and it's a perfect rallying cry for his far-right viewers.
But wherever you hear the phrase anarcho-tyranny, just remember, Tucker and his disciples are using this term on purpose.
They're merely trying to fill the shoes of the white nationalists who came before them.
harrison smith
Hilarious. Honestly hilarious.
Of course, my first response would be like...
You know what some other words coined by white nationalists would be?
Things like, we the people, in order to form a more perfect union?
But that's not the point. It's bad.
It's bad because a white nationalist, you know, it just reminds me of like, it wasn't like the ADL, somebody, like the SPLC or ADL or something called me, it was like a devotee, a devoted adherent to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
It's just like I've literally never even read it.
I've never even read it, but apparently I'm a devotee, just like apparently Tucker Carlson is secretly signaling all of his white nationalist supporters to understand the history of how this word was used 40 years ago.
I'm probably going to lose...
I've never read Sam Francis.
I don't know anything about Sam Francis.
I've heard of him. I'm sure I've read something of his at some point, but no idea.
It's obvious why this term is used.
It's because it's accurate to what's going on in the world today.
It's because it's an appropriate term to encapsulate everything we see going on, and it doesn't take any explanation.
When I say anarcho-tyranny, you sort of get it automatically.
It's just the meaning is there, embedded within the word.
It is... Anarchism and tyranny.
Like, and I explain this all the time.
One or the other would actually be fine.
Much better than where we are now, right?
Anarchy, just no loss.
It's just free for all.
You know, do whatever you want.
So if somebody breaks into your house, you shoot them.
And then you bury them in the backyard.
and there's no authorities there to, you know, chastise you or charge you with murder.
It's just, it's done, you know, it's anarchy.
You do whatever the hell you want.
I wanted to kill the guy shooting, you know, coming in my room.
So I buried him in the backyard and it's done.
Tyranny would be that like there's a patrol.
So anybody trying to break into your house gets picked up by the police and questioned and sent off to a work camp.
And hey, at least my house doesn't get broken into.
What we, where we live now is somebody can break into your house, try to kill you.
And if you kill them, you're the one that gets arrested.
Or if somebody comes and, you know, kills your family and, you know, you go to the authorities for some sort of justice, 50% of the time, over 50% of the time, they'll never find the guy.
And even if they do, something like 60% of the time, they'll downgrade his charges to something like voluntary manslaughter.
And he'll, you know, at the end of the day, get away with it.
So it's tyranny supported by the state.
It is Black Lives Matter or the coronavirus lockdowns.
It's things like, you know, when he says state-sponsored anarchy, do you know that Black Lives Matter in New York and Philadelphia have both received tens of millions of dollars paid to the rioters that destroyed those cities?
So again, this is the way that it works, folks.
unidentified
you Bye.
Bye.
harrison smith
Republicans identify something that is a noticeable and objectionable trend in the modern world.
You describe it in a way that absolutely everybody can understand.
And the liberals, instead of contending with the idea and actually either arguing against it, explaining why it's wrong, etc., etc., They come up with some sort of occult, bizarre, arcane reason why it's actually secretly a dog whistle to racists.
It's weird. It's a weird tactic to take.
Doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense.
But it's more or less their only argumentation tactic at this point.
And it doesn't matter whether it's Tucker Carlson or like Jordan Peterson.
Like this is just what they do.
It's sort of the only thing that The left does to actually argue against any of these people and what they say.
And it's interesting because I was thinking about this in the sense that, you know, there are all these YouTube channels that, like, that's all they do.
And I see them pop up all the time where it's like, when Jordan Peterson talks about responsibility, here's why that's secretly a dog whistle to why he wants slavery to come back.
unidentified
It's just like, okay.
harrison smith
Alright, so, in other words, you're not just building a straw man.
You're building a straw man that looks completely different than the man that you're trying to destroy.
It's not even like, here's the worst interpretation of what's going on.
It's like, here's the secret interpretation of what it is.
You know, he didn't say this, but I'm a mind reader and I know what he's really saying.
So apparently we're supposed to know about an article about seatbelts from 40 years ago.
And Tucker Carlson is signaling us, us white nationalists.
He's signaling us with his rhetoric because we're all up to date on the intricacies of 40-year-old vocabulary words.
It's anarcho-tyranny.
It makes sense. Everybody gets it.
She's like, he's using it because it sounds scary.
Are you scared of it?
I'm sorry you're scared of this word, but it's just the way that the world is.
It just describes what's happening.
I mean, she clearly just doesn't even understand what she's talking about because it is an innately contradictory phrase because it's an innately contradictory situation we find ourselves in where non-crimes are policed ruthlessly and And brutal, horrific, violent crimes are treated like mental illness and are not charged.
People are let out on bail to go out and do it again.
It's appropriately contradictory because our laws are contradictory as they stand.
Do I need to explain it to her?
Okay. All right, lady.
Let me see if I can explain this to you.
When Tucker Carlson is talking about state-sponsored anarchy, he's probably thinking about some of these stories.
Philadelphia to pay $9.25 million to George Floyd protesters.
The protesters said they sustained emotional injuries by the response to police to civil unrest after his murder in 2020.
So the rioters that broke the law and attacked people and murdered people and burned buildings in Philadelphia are being paid $10 million just about by the city for that.
That's called state-sponsored anarchy.
See what we're seeing here?
This is anarchy, and the people engaged in this are receiving payouts from the government to the tunes of $20,000, $30,000 apiece.
No, I'm not exaggerating.
Yes, that is what's happening.
Or there's this.
New York will pay millions to protesters violently corralled by police.
The police boxed in racial justice demonstrators in 2020 with an anti-protest practice known as kettling.
Then they hit them with batons and pepper spray.
Hundreds of these protesters will receive $21,500 each.
So the anarchy aspect of this is the anarchical behavior of the rioters destroying things.
And getting in fights with the police, the tyranny aspect is that the government then comes and takes your tax dollars to give to those anarchists and those rioters and those lawless savages.
So, is this confusing to you?
Do you think that's the only time it's happened?
Denver pays $1.6 million to settle six more lawsuits brought by protesters injured by police in 2020.
This is on top of millions of more dollars You know, paid out by Denver.
The city's paid $3.832 million to settle lawsuits regarding Denver Police's action against protesters during the 2020 demonstrations.
So that's, I guess, what he would probably mean by state-sponsored anarchy.
This, again, is not really, you know, the end of it.
At the same time that The Austin police had been defunded to such a degree that there was a massive spike in crimes across the board, but specifically violent crimes.
So much so that they actually had to stop responding to non-emergency calls, which includes things like people breaking into your house if they're unarmed.
So if you call them and say, hey, somebody just broke into my house and stole my TV, kicked my cat, and left, and they'll go, oh, they left?
Well, we're not coming then. You can come to us and file a report.
So at the same time that they were defunding the police and allowing anarchy to reign, not even responding to calls if they weren't life-threatening emergencies— What else were they doing?
They were spending millions of dollars to install an automated license plate reader program.
This is September 2022.
City Council approved a revival of a police department program to use license plate scanners on police cruisers and fixed points throughout the city, and a one-year pilot program to reinstate the readers which passively scan license plate in the hopes of assisting police in tracking down stolen vehicles, missing children, or people who have felony warrants.
The approval in an 8-3 vote capped off weeks of negotiation over the program, which opponents argued presents privacy issues.
So at the same time that they are allowing anarchy to reign by not even responding to emergency calls and leaving the people of the city to defend themselves in the case of the rampant violence that came about because they defunded the police, at the very same time they're spending millions of dollars to increase their ability to charge people for speeding or for parking violations.
See, so there's anarchy.
The violent criminals aren't punished.
And there's anarchy everywhere.
And then there's tyranny where people's regular lives are continually disrupted by arbitrary and petty laws for crimes that don't actually affect anybody.
So is this not clear to you?
Are you confused by this?
See, it's... A defense mechanism, I think, from the Democrats because they've got to do something.
They've got to do something when the right wing comes up with a term or points out an issue that is compelling and convincing and illustrates what's really going on and exposes people to the reality of the just madness that the Democrats are Carrying out and inflicting suffering on regular people's lives.
Like, they don't want people to know that, but they can't say it's not anarcho-tyranny.
They can't just come out and go, no, this is good.
This is good. Tyranny's good.
The anarchism's good. This is what we're in favor of.
So they can't actually confront the issues as they stand and the words as what they obviously and innately mean.
So instead, they have to explain why, if you use that word, you're actually a racist from the 1980s.
It's wild. It's just absolutely wild.
Makes no damn sense. That's what it is.
We'll go out to your phone calls in the next segment.
We got Sean in California, Jim in Montana, Jack in Wisconsin.
We'll go to all of you. We'll go to Simon in Florida at the beginning of the next hour so we can spend a little bit of time with him getting the lowdown on what's going on in the international front, including massive clashes in Palestine and Israel yesterday over Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The future location of the Third Temple.
I'm going to show you some videos from that as well.
Talk a little bit about how that's being covered or not covered in the mainstream media.
But that's just scratching the surface, folks.
A lot more to get into in today's program.
unidentified
Don't go anywhere. Maybe I need to read Sam Francis.
harrison smith
Thank you, Cat Boo Boo, or whatever your name is.
I've learned somebody I need to read now.
A great thinker, apparently, came up with the term anarcho-tyranny.
I mean, it's rare that you get such a concise and accurate phrase that in two words, you know, just encapsulates so much of what we're seeing.
And I'm just stuck on this idea of anarcho-tyranny because it's just such a good phrase.
It's just so accurate to everything that we're dealing with.
I mean, even on just a macro scale, you know, you can just compare...
2020 when you've got billions of dollars in damages and dozens of people killed during these riots and complete anarchy obviously And when Donald Trump is like, I'm going to send federal agents to protect federal buildings, people are like, Tyron, you Tyron, how dare you? Just like demanding anarchy, celebrating the anarchy, encouraging it, paying for the people to get out of prison, people not even getting arrested for attacking the cops or burning down buildings.
Even if they do, they get let out without so much as a slap on the wrist.
So just full-on anarchy, you know, versus, so violent, You know, violent attacks and riots on private property.
Nothing happens.
It's encouraged. The people are actually then, a year or two later, paid tens of thousands of dollars by the state for their activities during those riots.
But if Trump supporters, you know, take a selfie in the Capitol Rotunda without express permission, then they'll spend two years in a cell waiting for You know, a conviction that could send them away for the next several decades.
Right? So anarcho-tyrion, again, it's worse than no law at all.
Worse than no law at all is the arbitrary, particular use of law, you know, depending on, you know, who it is that does it and whether you want to.
And again, across the country, you've got this example over and over where it's police departments being defunded, crime rates skyrocketing, bail reform and reimagining justice, allowing criminals out on the street to commit horrific, life-altering violence against innocent people, while at the same time investing heavily in surveillance of non-criminal people to track them in their everyday lives.
You know, sort of like the Great Reset, sort of the, you know, you will own nothing and be happy kind of style of living where their actions will be unquestionable, right?
They'll be protected by guards.
They'll be flying private jets around and surrounded by armed guards, but, you know, regular non-rich people, non-wealthy connected internationalists will have their Like Jeffrey Epstein and his whole cabal will be completely covered.
The horrific and unspeakable crimes they've committed will not even be investigated, but your meat consumption will be regulated.
Whether you leave the fan on at night will be tracked and held against you.
So again, your regular everyday activity will be hyper-scrutinized.
The actual criminals will go unmolested and allowed to carry out their activities.
Here's just another couple of examples of what this looks like.
And these are just off the top of my head.
There's more that I can't quite remember, but we've covered them over the last few days and more over the last several months.
There was that New York City parking garage worker who was attacked, shot twice, and He wrestled the gun away from his attacker, shot the man who shot him, and then he got cuffed to the hospital bed and is potentially being charged with murder.
So the anarchism part of the anarcho is that the criminal, who probably has a rap sheet 40 miles long, is allowed to be out and commit violence.
The tyranny aspect is if you fight back, you'll be the one who pays the price.
There's the Arizona rancher charged with killing a legal migrant, pleading not guilty.
So the anarchism aspect of this is there is no border.
Anybody can cross whenever and wherever they want.
They can trespass on your land.
You can't do anything about it.
And if they aim a gun at you and you shoot back at them, you'll be the one arrested and the state will swoop in and with ruthless efficiency punish you for daring to defend yourself.
Anarcho tyranny.
I know. It's very simple.
It's very, very simple, in fact.
Want some more examples? Hamilton Heights bodega worker charged with murder after stabbing man who attacked him with a knife.
Bodega worker sitting behind the counter, doing his job.
Somebody comes in, attacks him with a knife.
Bodega worker defends himself, wrestles the knife away, stabs his attacker.
Now he's the one being charged with murder.
Because the person who had attacked him had probably had spent some time in and out of jail, but we can't punish criminals.
We have to fulfill both aspects of anarcho-tyranny.
Allow the criminals to thrive.
Punish the people who defend themselves.
This story was given to us by a caller.
This is his family member.
Man, 55, brutally beaten outside New York Deli, dies of injuries.
55-year-old man who was knocked unconscious during a brutal mugging outside of a Brooklyn Deli died of his injuries this week, according to police sources and his grieving family.
John Sarkees was standing outside of Dean Mini Market on 13th Avenue near 73rd Street in Diker Heights around 745.
Wednesday, when a man punched him from behind, causing him to fall to the ground and hit his head, authorities and sources said.
The assailant then continued kicking Sarkees, Kicking him in the head before robbing him, police said.
The suspect ran off south on 13th Avenue.
John, who suffered serious injuries, was rushed to NYU Hospital where his prognosis was extremely grim.
He was taken off life support Monday.
Again, this is a family member of one of our listeners.
Utterly devastating. Nowhere in the story does it talk about the investigation or finding this guy or stopping him from doing it again.
Just, you know, I guess you just have to deal with it.
You just have to deal with it.
But just don't attack the guy.
I mean, you know, they're not going to go find him.
They're not going to ever find this guy.
They're not going to ever discover the murderer who brutally beat a man to death on the streets of New York.
See, it's fully anarchy out there.
He's just gone now.
He's just an anonymous criminal out there.
You know, probably going to do it again and doesn't have to pay a price and the family has to live not knowing who this person was and knowing that if they pursue justice, if they carry out their own investigation and carry out their own form of punishment, then they will be, of course, ruthlessly persecuted by the Justice Department, right? If Mr.
Sarkis had defended himself and fought back and killed the man who killed him, Well, then he certainly would be punished for that because he's probably a decent citizen.
He probably would have sat there and waited around for the police to come to tell him the story.
This guy attacked me and I defended myself.
And they would have said, well, we know that, but we're in anarcho-tyranny now.
So hands behind your back, you're being arrested.
Criminals get away with it.
The regular people don't.
That's anarcho-tyranny. Let's go to the calls now.
Sean in California, you've got a solution for us?
I'm excited to hear it.
unidentified
Go ahead, Sean. Well, Harrison, if you can hear me loud and clear, I have a question.
Do you want two minutes, five minutes, or ten minutes?
Two minutes. I got a whole laundry list.
harrison smith
We got two minutes left in a second.
unidentified
So I'll make it fast. People got to know what is written and what our definitions of things are, so we'll revisit your anarcho-tyranny later.
We got to ask, does the phrase a nation of laws or a nation of men apply to what we're seeing with the president?
Other phrase, we the people or we the president.
Folks gotta realize that they have to do the things.
Can't rely on one man to save this country.
And a lot of people have been getting complacent.
Look at Laura Loomer and Alex Stein.
They get in the face of these bad actors and they confront them.
James O'Keefe has given out cameras for O'Keefe Media Group and he got some wonderful footage yesterday as well of the news reporters.
And then an example for myself, I had a County General General Assembly meeting because we're studying on the grand juries that are common law.
And during a break in the meeting, I go out of the room to the floor of the restaurant we reserved.
I'm getting a refill of a drink.
And a gentleman, he got a 45 on his hat and USA and it's camouflaged.
He sees my Alex Jones was right t-shirt.
We struck it up, hit it off.
I give him cards to invite him to a later grand jury meeting.
And the kicker is I go home later after that meeting.
Some neighbors have family visiting.
I meet one of their friends in that group that's visiting, and the guy used to work with Erwin Schiff out of L.A., who's a pretty well-known person.
Now, I'm going to give you guys a quick tool and a tip to make it fast so you guys can't sit and play video games and say you're afraid to gather.
Whenever you have a private meeting of Patriots, Look up something I learned from national-assembly.net called the Bivens decision.
B-I-V-E-N-F. Bivens decision.
Robert Barnes even worked a case involving that.
Utilize the Bivens decision effectively.
No feds, no plants, nothing can testify against it.
Which means you're in the clear.
There's no more reason to say you're afraid of gathering Man, yeah, fantastic stuff as always, Sean.
harrison smith
And, you know, I'd love to, we just need to report on this stuff, because this stuff is happening quite a bit, but, you know, if we don't know about it, like, we've got to tell people about it so they can do it in their own communities.
That's the way to do it. All right, welcome back, folks.
Let's go back out to the phone calls.
We've got Jim in Montana.
You've got a suggestion for us, Jim.
Thanks so much for calling in. You're on the air.
Hey, Eric. How are you doing?
unidentified
Good, thanks. Hey, I love you guys, but so many...
It's like all Trump all the time.
I get it. It's a very, very important thing.
But there are tons of other stories out there that are just as...
I support you guys.
I love you guys. It's like all Trump all the time.
Trump just stepped off the plane.
Trump stepped on a piece of bubblegum.
harrison smith
Well, I mean, come on. You've got to be fair.
This is the biggest story in the country right now, and we tend to try to give our perspective on whatever the biggest story is.
So, I mean, I know. Trust me, Jim.
I'm sort of sick of talking about it as well.
unidentified
We had a train derailment up here in Paradise.
Hardly reported on.
There's training fluid all in the river of the Clark Fork.
Training fluid. Actually, it was Bud Light.
Tans of Bud Light.
I just wanted to add a little bit of humor there.
harrison smith
No, I get what you're saying.
I mean, to me, you know, I've been following Alex Jones since, like, middle school, literally.
You know, learning about loose change and 9-11 and the Iraq War.
And in that whole time, that whole time, it has been...
The entire political system has been thoroughly controlled by two establishment parties, and Donald Trump's election was a singular chance for escape, a singular revolutionary event that, I don't know, it's important.
It's something that we need to pay attention to, and part of what You know, makes me sort of double down on it, is the fury with which the establishment is fighting back against him.
So, like, this is the big battle.
I know there are other battles going on, but, you know, Trump is like the...
And, you know, it's about Trump, but it's also about all of the things that they're doing with Trump as an excuse.
You know, it's not going to be...
You know, Trump's not going to be the last person that they do this to if they're allowed to get away with it.
unidentified
No, but there's 400 guys sitting in a gulag that...
Up against the same thing, you know?
harrison smith
Yeah, we talk about that all the time.
unidentified
I'm not saying it's not important.
I'm just saying that, you know, the devaluation of the dollar, France, Japan buying oil off from Russia above the cap.
You know, I guess there's just so much that is going on in just, you know, an hour and a half of Trump's got 34.
He's got 37. He's got Salome coming out.
And it's not going to end.
harrison smith
Yeah, but again...
unidentified
I'm sorry. I don't mean to...
harrison smith
No, no. I get it.
Trust me. I'm sick of talking about it, too.
The thing is, though, that if I could cover everything about Trump in one segment and then move on, I would.
But again, it's like the level of light.
Just to get through it, it's like we've got to spend enough time to actually get into the intricacies so it's not just, you know...
These guys are bad.
Moving on. It's like you've got to understand the method with which they're attacking Trump.
You've got to understand the, you know, true level of insanity that we're dealing with here, and we'll move on.
We're going to talk about other stuff here.
When we get back on the other side, we're going to talk about Simon in Florida, and I guarantee you he's going to bring up all the things that you talked about.
So, you know, we've been planning to talk about all of this the entire time as well.
But, you know, even in that regard, what is there to say about all the stuff going on internationally that...
We can't say pretty quickly.
I mean, these things are happening, and we talk about them and mention them, but it's just not the singular most important news story of today or yesterday.
I've been like this for a few days, and trust me, I'm sort of sick of it, too.
So we'll move on on the other side of the assignment.
Thank you for the call, Jim. I appreciate it.
unidentified
We'll be right back. Alright, welcome back, folks.
harrison smith
We're going to go to Simon in Florida now.
So much other news around the world, it's hard to even know where to begin.
We have some videos we can play as B-roll here of the clash that occurred last night at Al-Aqsa Mosque.
And really, this is just the latest in what is quickly...
Becoming an out-of-control situation in Israel and Palestine.
Palestinians launched strike to protest Israel's killing a Palestinian doctor.
That's the story from yesterday.
There was the assault on Al-Aqsa Mosque.
This is during Ramadan.
There were people praying in there, going there for their religious services.
They call it a night of Israeli brutality in the Mideast.
I don't know if you want to focus on this, Simon.
I know you have a wide breadth of knowledge about what's going on in the world, so I'm just going to hand the floor over to you.
Thank you so much for calling in. Remember, everybody, you can follow Simon on Twitter at Simon from Flory, so Simon from FLORI2, and a bunch of great information there.
Thanks for calling in, Simon. Go ahead.
simon in florida
Hello there, Harrison. Thank you so much for allowing me to speak with you and address the audience today.
We'll come back to the Alaskan Mosque raid if there's time, if that's okay with you.
What I would like to focus on immediately is the developments in the Middle East and also the developments in China, which are closely related.
So at the moment, we have President Macron of France It's visiting Beijing for three days.
And by separate jet, which is not very green, Mrs.
von der Leyen, who's the president of the European Union, is arriving separately.
She's going to have extended consultations with the Chinese president tomorrow.
And Mr. Macron is actually going on a personal basis.
pilgrimage to visit the hometown of President Xi's father, which supposedly is a great tribute to him, on Friday.
But the reason why we're having this great number of European visits to Beijing, and it's not just Europeans, it's a lot of Asian and Australasian countries as well, all in rapid sequence, immediately following the meeting between President Xi and President immediately following the meeting between President Xi and President Putin in Moscow that occurred on the 21st and 22nd of March.
We've got a slight dichotomy in that we've got a lot of the NATO and NATO partnered nations.
When I say NATO partnered, I mean like South Korea, Japan, Australia, New Zealand.
They are attempting to persuade Z to put pressure on Russia such that the Russians essentially withdraw from Ukraine.
But the Russians no longer regard those parts of Ukraine Ukrainian.
They say, particularly with respect to Crimea, that they're all Russian and in some cases have been Russian since they held referendums on that issue eight years ago.
So that's a rather fororn hope for the Europeans.
On the other side of the equation, you've got the Chinese who have completely embraced President Putin's concept of the Greater Eurasian Partnership, which is now the dominant feature in international relations.
That's actually a merger Between President Putin's proposal for that in 2015, which has been revised in light of the Ukraine conflict, and the sanctions that European Union countries have imposed upon the Russian Federation, that's been merged with President Xi's concept of China in the new era, which originated in 2012 and has also undergone revisions, particularly in 2018 and 2019.
So they've both had these We've grand planned these two men, President Putin and President Xi, and they've now, it's just like a hypothesis and a antithesis and then a synthesis.
Okay? And so what we have now is a completely in writing agreed upon synthesis.
And President Xi is now acting as the club recruiter.
And he's reaching out to country after country after country saying, this is the proposal.
Do you want in or out?
And part of the condition of going in is that you reject American hegemony and you de-dollarize.
And we've now seen Brazil say that they're going to do away with any trade in the U.S. dollar between themselves and China.
Malaysia has just said that.
And now, amazingly, China has said that, and I discussed that on a couple of shows over the last few days, the new Indian foreign trade policy, where they're expressly aligned with both Iran, irrespective of U.S. sanctions, and with Russia, irrespective of U.S. sanctions.
Now, we're talking about countries, China and India, that each of those represent 20% of the world's population.
That's 40% of the world's population.
Just those two countries.
Now, in relation to the Middle East, just yesterday, you had the Saudis and the Omnis and the Iranians and the Iraqis all meeting together in Muscat, the capital of Oman. You had the Turks The Iranians, the Russians, and the Syrians all meeting in Moscow simultaneously.
There's just an incredible amount of diplomacy occurring.
They've announced that there's going to be a new Saudi-Iran joint chamber of commerce, and the Iranian trade minister said that he had $80 billion of inward investment understandings That had been exchanged in the last three weeks, $8 billion, right?
And he hoped that as soon as the ambassadors were exchanged between Saudi Arabia and Iran, that all of those would be turned into concrete contracts.
Now, does that end?
And people need to understand the grand strategy and the Asian concept of Saving faith and prestige, right?
Right. So we've got von der Leyen and Macron are in Paris, okay?
And they're both like heads of stakes, effectively.
harrison smith
Right, and van der Leyen is potentially the new NATO chief.
simon in florida
Yes, so some countries supposedly have offered to support her if she applies to that, but that won't be until October, and she hasn't made any public comment in that regard.
Now, she, a few days ago, First of all, she gave a speech in which she was very complimentary of China.
Then she said that Europe couldn't afford to completely economically decouple, which is what America is asking them to do, but that they should de-risk the relationship and make it about trade only and try and take politics out of it, which is very hard to do.
But then at the end of the speech, He said that it was important for the European Union to remain aligned with their partners, which the Chinese interpreted in their written response as, okay, so you're going to continue following American orders.
And we've already told you that that's a condition that you've got to get away from, and you've got to display what is called strategic independence or strategic autonomy.
But the other two people who are going to be in Beijing, Starting tomorrow.
When this was announced, it absolutely stunned me.
And I'm paying close attention to all this stuff, right?
So a few days beforehand, the Saudis and the Iranians have said, right, we're going to meet in a few days in a neutral country, and we're going to finalise the reopening of our respective embassies, which seemed like just procedural steps, frankly. Then everyone assumed, okay, they'll go to Switzerland.
You know, that's relatively short distance for them both to fly, right?
Then yesterday it announced that they're both going to go to Beijing.
Again, while Macron and Vondelayen are there.
So they're literally going to be meeting in the foreign ministry while Vondelayen and Macron are having consultations with Z in the people's presidential palace.
harrison smith
That's absolutely wild. We've got to go to commercial break here, Simon.
We're going to come back and I want you to continue that and especially get into some of the other medieval, Mideast stuff that I see going on with Assad sort of being welcomed back into the fold.
There's some new revelations about Iranian technology, missile technology that Syria has.
Syria trying to work with Russia to get Turkey out of their northern provinces.
A lot going on that we'll still get into.
Stay tuned and we'll be back with Simon.
Alright, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
This is the American Journal.
Simon from Florida is on the line giving us a breakdown of what's going on in China and the Middle East and really around the world as the New World Order seems to be reorienting itself in an eastward direction.

Now, Simon, I want you just to continue with your narrative here, especially to focus on the developments in the Middle East.
But it seems like, to me, If you look back over the last three months or so, there were little signals.
There was an occasional little blip on the radar of China making moves in the background, coming out and talking about America in ways that they haven't done before, taking meetings that people didn't expect them to take.
But it wasn't until there was that bombshell revelation that China helped to broker an end to the diplomatic separation between Saudi Arabia and Iran It seemed like that was the kicking off point.
I mean, that sort of came out of nowhere for a lot of us, and then it was off to the races.
And what we're seeing now, and what you're talking about now, is that this process of diplomatically aligning themselves to China and away from American hegemony is just accelerating.
I mean, was that really the big ignition point?
And where does it go? The floor is yours, Simon.
simon in florida
That definitely was...
A key event.
The Chinese had obviously started to put that into play when Xi went to visit Saudi Arabia in December last year.
So that didn't happen just in the space of four or five days.
It started a few months before that.
But the previous attempt by the Iraqis and the Amanis had been relatively unsuccessful.
So the fact that they're having those two foreign ministers back, previously it was the National Security Advisors.
Who did the deal on the 10th of March.
Now this is the foreign ministers coming.
And the Iranians have made the point that some people are confused because they've got so many people in so many countries all at once.
People started speculating whether or not there was factions in the Iranian government and they were trying to cut different deals and stuff.
But now that's been clarified.
No, we're just doing everything really fast.
And so we need four people in four different places on the same day in order to get this stuff done.
So to that end, it's very interesting Ayatollah Khamenei, the religious leader of Iran, he puts out text messages like once every couple of weeks, and he put out a whole stream of them yesterday, which was the first time since the Iranian New Year.
And it's literally like two sentences, but it's very, very informative.
It says, and this is a quote, the global order is on the verge of an important political upheaval.
This upheaval has two main features.
It is taking place very quickly, and it is weakening the front of the enemies of the Islamic Republic.
Now, it's undeniable that America and Israel have been disadvantaged by this ton of events.
But his other point, which is the one that I've been trying to get across to people, is the fact that he here acknowledges not only is it a major political upheaval, but that it's taking place very quickly.
Now, I'll tell you what's making me actually quite concerned, and you can go so far as to say afraid, is why.
Why is this happening as fast as it is?
Because they're literally setting deadlines, like 60 days for an event that would normally take a year, and then they're trying to do it in three weeks.
It's literally like emergency action stations because you've got to make an emergency repair in a sinking ship.
There's no time to debate.
Just do, do, do, do.
harrison smith
Right, right. That's what I'm saying.
That's what I'm noticing. It's like it was a starter gun.
It's like the first thing happened, and since then it's been advance, advance, advance, advance, advance.
I mean, any guess? Why is it happening so rapidly, or is it just an opportunity and they're taking it?
simon in florida
Yes. Well, I've got some speculations, but obviously they haven't been publicly revealed, so I can't prove these.
But not only is it We're seeing the fledgling peace deal that you correctly mentioned in Syria.
We've got all the African Union countries have been invited to a big conference in Moscow in July, which is basically an attempt to seal their involvement in this greater Eurasian partnership.
And one by one, the Arab Emirates and the other monarchies of the Middle East Are all making statements saying that not only are they going to reach a cause with Iran, but that they are grateful for the Chinese intervention and that they look forward to doing more business with both of them.
And when Putin and Xi signed all those deals on the 22nd of March, Putin specifically agreed with Xi that he would send He's Prime Minister, because they have a President and a Prime Minister in Russia and a President and a Premier in China, to China suit with a whole delegation of technocrats to get operations underway.
Now, it also turned out yesterday that the Chinese were like, no, we're not waiting.
The Premier of China called the Prime Minister of Russia, had a long conversation Yeah, no, it's crazy. You would expect one of these things to happen every couple months, but they're all happening within a couple days of each other.
harrison smith
Less than a minute left, Simon.
Give us what's going to happen moving forward.
simon in florida
Well, what... Clearly going to happen is we're going to have this exchange of ambassadors, which will be agreed tomorrow, and then will happen within a few days.
Then there's going to be announcements of massive, multi-tens of billions of dollars of Middle East, Gulf Kingdom, in theory, American-allied countries, pouring money into Iran, American-allied countries, pouring money into Iran, at least $80 billion, right?
Totally in violation of U.S. sanctions.
So they're literally saying, F you, Biden. - Oh man.
harrison smith
Huge things going on. We'll cover more on the other side.
Thank you, Simon. As always, incredible.
All right, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
We'll go out to your phone calls once again in the second half of this hour.
There's some other videos to get to as well.
Let's go to clip number seven here.
What we have been warning about for years here at InfoWars is not just around the corner.
It's here. It's here.
It's on our doorstep. It is being implemented.
In places around the world, and it is just one aspect, one piece of the larger globalist puzzle, and that is the end of cash, the creation of CBDCs, the integration of the electronic currency into the social credit score carbon control system.
Again, folks, we've worn it for a while, and I've been saying exactly how it would be rolled out.
And it already is being rolled out in Australia exactly how we said it would, with a simple announcement, a dictate from your bank, and your ability to buy and sell things anonymously without oversight or without intervention is over forever.
Let's go now to clip number seven.
unidentified
We've taken another step towards a cashless society.
A big bank has confirmed customers in some locations can no longer withdraw money over the counter as branches continue to wind back services.
It's up there with the pub with no beer, the bank with no cash.
ANZ has confirmed some branches no longer handle cash at the counter.
Others are directing customers to smart ATMs for cash transactions.
ANZ says only 8% of its customers rely solely on branches.
NAB says for its customers it's only 3%.
The number of bank branches nationally dropped 30% in major cities over five years, from more than 3,000 to around 2,300.
It's closed down about 12 months ago, so I've got to come down to South Melbourne.
And if that closes down, I don't know where I've got to go, so for checks and everything else.
It's a worldwide trend and there are concerns it hurts disadvantaged customers the most.
Senior citizens, new migrants, people who are disabled, they do need, if you like, face-to-face help.
There's a danger here of excluding some elements of our society when we talk about inclusion all the time.
The latest figures on ATMs shows the number of machines has more than halved, from almost 14,000 back in 2017 to around 6,000 in the middle of last year.
I would point out to people that cash is still very important, both as a means of payment, because if you're paying by cash, you don't get surcharged.
MRO Sullivan, 7 News.
harrison smith
That's how it happens in Australia.
A simple announcement from your bank.
By the way, we're not doing cash anymore.
All of your transactions will be documented, observed, surveilled.
And of course, once that's in place, you know, already we live in a fiat currency world already.
The supply of money is arbitrarily manipulated to serve the interest of people who control those systems.
But once you go fully electric, not only do we have all that surveillance and control built in, as we've heard, the president of the Bank of International, the BIS, Bank of International Settlements, Actually say the reason they want this is because they'll be able to track every single dollar spent to see where it's going and maybe give it a carbon credit score and determine whether you've had enough to eat that month.
It'll be determined by them.
The big fat guy saying this, right?
But it also just completely separates the money supply from any semblance of reality.
And then on top of that, you have proposals in places like China and even the UK to where you'll have caps to your bank account.
You'll only be able to have about $20,000 in total.
If you exceed that, it'll go away or you'll have expiring money like they're revealing in China, unveiling in China, China, where they actually are able to say you have to spend this money in a certain amount of time or it will go away and be destroyed because they want to create an inability for anybody to save money, to build wealth over generations.
It's all going to be impermanent in a real New World Order style or Brave New World rather style, you know, impermanence and the possibility for anonymity is quickly going away.
Very, very disturbing trend, but we've been warning and now it's here.
With that, we go out to your phone calls. Jack in Wisconsin.
Thank you so much for calling in, Jack.
You're on the air about Trump and the Supreme Court flip in Wisconsin.
Thanks for calling in. Hey, Harrison.
icarus in wisconsin
Did you see Janet Proste won the Supreme Court pick here in Wisconsin?
So, like, I think...
2024 has pretty much decided as if you've been following Wisconsin stuff.
Lately, one of the things Evers was trying to do is redistricting, which you probably know about.
matt in wisconsin
So they're going to redistrict in a way that I think Wisconsin's going to be blue no matter what.
icarus in wisconsin
And I'd like you to explain to me how it's fair that Soros and other people can just buy an election.
harrison smith
Well, it's not. The problem is that the political will behind getting money out of politics is the exact same political force that is in full support of Soros.
So the political will to get him out.
I mean, he's literally a foreign-born billionaire who got his money by crashing entire nation's economies.
Why he's even able to operate in this country whatsoever is baffling to me.
I can't give you a reason for that, Jack.
It's mindless.
icarus in wisconsin
And then at the same time, like, Trump gets, like, 33 or whatever felony charges for heterosex?
harrison smith
Yeah, no, it's... Like, is it now a crime?
icarus in wisconsin
Like, is it going to be banned?
Like, having, like, normal sex is banned and, like, is it like some, like, eugenics breeding program?
harrison smith
I mean, I wish you were exaggerating.
I mean, I have a story here about a mom not being allowed to adopt because she's a Christian, so who knows?
Yeah, maybe heterosexual intercourse is somehow bigoted against trans people.
That's a very realistic question.
icarus in wisconsin
Did you see the moon? Did you see the moon stuff?
harrison smith
I've seen the moon. What do you mean?
icarus in wisconsin
No, no, no. The moon news with the astronaut pick.
unidentified
What do you think? Yeah, they've picked the astronauts.
harrison smith
I don't know. We'll see.
They're not leaning on the moon. They're going around it.
There's also a story that they discovered a large reservoir of water on the moon, which is sort of strange to me.
And I haven't looked too much into it, but a lot of moon news these days.
But sticking on the Wisconsin election, the Supreme Court election, Greg Price has a good thread on this.
He says, Wisconsin now has a Supreme Court that is going to strike down voter ID, bring back ballot harvesting before 2024.
It was the most important election of the year, and conservatives allowed themselves to get heavily outspent and didn't even notice until it was too late.
Janet, whatever, and liberal groups spent $23.3 million on this race.
George Soros gave $1 million to the Wisconsin Dems right before the election.
Conservatives spent only $17.6 million, with Dan Kelly himself only spending $2.2 million.
Total disaster. This can't happen in a race where the stakes are so high.
Again, I didn't even know you voted on a Supreme Court justice.
Like, what? That's not usually the case, is it?
I mean, not on a national level for sure.
And he says, He goes on to say, And,
you know, again, I would just say, what?
Is this normal? I don't even know if this is normal.
I guess I should just look it up.
I should just look it up. I shouldn't reveal my ignorance like this.
But why should you vote on a Supreme Court justice?
That's, like, not the type of thing you should vote on.
It's not the type of thing anybody, like, that shouldn't be a statewide referendum on who gets to sit on the Supreme Court.
The whole purpose of a republic is you're supposed to have representatives that then appoint these people for you.
So it's a decentralized, dislocated, much more difficult to rig series of elections rather than just one big one that you can pour a ton of money into.
And that's why senators, we used to not vote for senators.
It didn't used to be Texas would vote for Texas senator.
We would vote for our state legislature who would then appoint a senator.
And that way it was decentralized and more difficult to rig.
That changed all the way back in 1913 with the 17th Amendment.
Maybe we need to go back.
Maybe we need to go back to a republic rather than this easily corruptible democracy.
The final segment of the American Journal will go out to your phone calls here in just a second.
Sean in Modesto, California is up next, but we're getting some new updates on just how thoroughly the entire Western world is being trapped in an ideological tyranny.
Really, we're becoming a theocracy.
It's just a theocracy without a god.
It's a theocracy worshiping people and their most base desires.
It's very strange. It's very bizarre.
It's very odd. A Canadian politician proposed legislation Tuesday that would criminalize, quote, offensive remarks within 100 meters of drag performances.
According to a video of the press conference, members of the provincial parliament, Kristen Wong Tam, is seeking to create community safety zones.
Oh, safety zones. Don't you love the dystopian language they use?
It would prohibit, quote, any homophobic, transphobic act of intimidation, threat, offensive threats, offensive remarks, protest, disturbances, and distribution of hate propaganda within 100 meters of drag show venues, the politician said.
So, state protection of the cross-dressers.
So they can have their way with children and if you don't like it you'll be arrested for speaking out against it.
That's Canada. Meanwhile in America a mother files lawsuit after state denies adoption due to her Christian beliefs.
A single mother of five filed a lawsuit against the Oregon Department of Health and Human Services Monday for allegedly denying her adoption application due to her religious beliefs, according to a press release from Alliance Defending Freedom.
Jessica Bates, a single mother of five who also lost her husband in a car crash six years prior, attempted to apply for the department with the department to adopt children in 2022.
According to the press release, Bates's application was allegedly denied because of her Christian beliefs and how they would not allow her to respect, accept and support the sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression of the children in her care as the department's adoption of regulations require, according to the lawsuit.
Oregon's policy amounts to an ideological litmus test.
People who hold secular or progressive views on sexual orientation and gender identity are eligible to participate in child welfare programs, while people of faith with religiously informed views are disqualified because they don't agree with the state's orthodoxy.
This is according to ADF Senior Counsel Jonathan Scruggs, Director of the ADF Center for Conscious Initiatives, said in the press release, the government can't exclude certain communities of faith from foster care and adoption services because the state doesn't like their particular religious beliefs.
But they are, and they did, because we live in a theocracy, a theocracy without a God.
What would that be? An atheocracy?
What would this be?
Like, what is this?
What is this new religion that we're being documented into?
Where if you pray outside of an abortion clinic, you'll be arrested in the UK. Even if you're praying silently in your head, you'll be arrested.
So again, I mean, it's a pretty simple program they have running here, right?
They declare that Their particular ideology, their spiritual beliefs, their moral foundation, which amounts to, in all intents and purposes, a religious belief absent only the existence of a god or a church or a history or a tradition that is typically required to fulfill the basic needs of a religion.
And you claim that It's just a belief.
It's just what you should believe.
It's just what everybody has to believe.
And if you don't believe it, if you argue against it, that's hate.
That's hate. It's not an ideological disagreement.
It's not a moral disagreement or an ethical disagreement.
They label it hate, and it can therefore be turned illegal.
So again, this is happening here in the United States.
Catholic fathers getting their door kicked in and getting hauled away at gunpoint in front of their seven children for daring to protest abortion clinics because under the FACE Act, abortion clinics are treated as beyond sacred.
We have sacred places here in America.
There are churches, mosques, temples.
There are places that are consecrated and invested with spiritual significance.
They don't give protection. The abortion clinics do.
The drag shows will now.
So this is the new religion.
And I guess all you can really say about it is that it's not Christianity.
It is certainly not Christianity.
Meanwhile, some other stories here.
You may have heard that Austin is collapsing, Austin, Texas, collapsing into anarchy, chaos, criminality as a consequence of the Defund the Police program.
It's left the police department totally short of officers and even people to answer the phones, where increasingly there are people posting online saying...
I got my car broken into or something happened and I called the police and they just never came.
They just never came. They just don't come.
They have announced that they won't come if it's not an emergency, by which they mean if you're not in imminent threat of danger.
But even if you are, they still won't come.
There was an account on Rainey Street this weekend of a homeless person brandishing a knife, threatening people, like swiping at people.
One of the people passing by, a good Samaritan, called the cops, said there's a person threatening someone here.
He's going crazy. He's got a knife.
Police never came. They just never came.
And of course now they're finding bodies in the lake in downtown here that a lot of people are pointing to as murder victims, suggesting there's some sort of serial killer at work.
So it's just a little bit out of control here in Austin.
It's completely mad.
And so to make up for this, of course, the only thing that could happen is happening, and that is that the greater authorities are having to step in because, as we've said, since the defund the movement was initiated, defund the police means...
Centralizing, federalizing the police, or privatizing the police.
Those are the only options.
It's that or just be a victim forever.
So that's what's happening.
Instead of federal police, it is the state police in this country.
And the DPS has made 52 felony and 31 misdemeanor arrests in Austin from just the five days between March 30th and April 3rd.
They seized 174 grams of cocaine, 40 grams of heroin, and written 765 tickets according to new stats.
So that apparently is where their primary focus is, is the writing of tickets, because of course it is.
Because of course it is.
Because you defund the police, allow violent crime to rage out of control, allow homeless people to set up camps just outside your backyard and harass and menace your children, but they will make sure to bust you if you go five miles an hour over the speed limit.
Meanwhile, Democrats bid to use censorship law against DeSantis and ban his book.
We can get into this, but it's just the typical thing.
We should just live in a country where you don't have to make restrictions because nobody is trying to put pornography in elementary schools, but these people are sick, despicable monsters, and if you don't police them, they do sick, despicable things.
We're supposed to live in a country where everybody can be free and everybody can have liberty because they have the personal responsibility to uphold that obligation.
Uphold that, you know, the benefit of living in a First World Western society.
You're supposed to just, you know, appreciate and respect the liberty that you're given, but instead they see liberty as an opportunity to exploit.
They see, you know, freedom and the lack of policing as a chance to take advantage of someone.
So that's what they do, and they...
Put pornography in elementary schools or whatever, and then they don't stop and you ask them, please don't do this, and they say, shut up, you're a bigot, you're hateful, we're going to report you to the FBI and call you a domestic terrorist.
So then finally, because you people are so just...
Like, we just can't live with you.
You're just impossible, so we have to pass laws to actually set into stone.
Okay, now it's a law.
You can't put this disgusting crap in the minds of little children, you absolute degenerates.
Fine, now it's a law.
And, of course, they see this and go, oh, well, if you're going to make a law, then we're going to use it to ban your own book.
Because again, we're just trying to protect kids.
We're trying to stop kids from being exploited and preserve their innocence when their parents can't be there every day.
And it's just like, we're just desperately trying to raise kids that don't turn out like you, freaking people.
And they just can't help but see this as yet another chance to exploit the law for their own end.
It's just, I hate them.
I hate them so much.
And finally, we have this from the New York Times.
As classic novels get revised for today's readers, a debate about where to draw the line.
How about we draw the line 10 years ago and not change any books?
Again, they just put it out there as if, like, everybody agrees we should change all the books, but where do we stop is the question.
Just leave the books alone, you dystopian, you know, memory hole operators.
Agatha Christie novels, James Bond novels, Roald Dahl books.
They're changing things like the gender and skin color of the characters.
They're changing out adjectives like fat and ugly because making it up to date with current sensibilities means turning it into something it's not.
It's total censorship.
and then they'll call you the book burner because you're like, stop showing the point that I did.
