It's the American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | |
| On the heels of the How Many More rally held on the steps of the Texas State Capitol... | ||
| Texas! The Washington Post sat perched atop the Drudge Report with a story regarding what they described as a man killing five of his neighbors because they complained that he was shooting an AR-15 in his yard at all hours of the night. | ||
| However, if you were actually interested in the details... | ||
| And not the brainwashing. | ||
| It became horrifically obvious that the shooter and the victims were illegal immigrants. | ||
| While the description of the yard led the reader to envision a typical suburban lot when it was a rural area in Texas where target practice is common. | ||
| A stark reminder of the Mockingbird media twisting the fine points in order to further the globalist anti-Second Amendment Bilderberg agenda. | ||

Everybody that was shot was shot from the neck up. | |
| Just yesterday in Cleveland, Texas, right outside of Houston, there was a guy that executed six people, including an eight-year-old little boy, a Mexican national, to cartel hit. | ||
| So I'll be honest. | ||
| I don't know anything about that case. | ||
| I haven't been following it. | ||
| And so I'm not qualified to comment on it. | ||
| But what I do know, living in Texas, is that this isn't the first murder that's cartel-related. | ||
| And if people wake up, cartel-related murders have been happening for a number of years. | ||
| They're increasing. And they're not just happening in Texas. | ||
| Look at tripwires and triggers. | ||
| Read what Jason Jones has been reporting for years. | ||
| The cartels have been moving into this country. | ||
| Look at Operation Python from the DEA. They arrested over 700 cartel members of one cartel on U.S. soil, and it did nothing to that They're risking the lives of the migrants that they are holding out the welcome map for. | ||
| These people are dying. | ||
| They're being raped. They're being murdered, assaulted. | ||
| I read a story recently about a young girl who had more than 60 pieces of human DNA inside of her. | ||
| Whose conscience is that on? | ||
| But for a few hours at the How Many More rally, truth was thankfully on full display. | ||
| There is no America without secure borders. | ||
| There is no Texas without secure borders. | ||
| What the hell are you doing up there? | ||
| I don't process invaders. | ||
| I repel invaders. | ||
| So let's get this legislation where finally, finally, Texas can be the shining light of freedom in the United States of America. | ||

Look at numbers. In 25 months, 6 million total encounters and more than 1.7 million total gotaways. | |
| That's insanity. | ||
| At this pace, in 48 months of this administration, this country is looking at encountering 14 million total encounters and gotaways. | ||
| 14 million! | ||
| And you don't want to see another Dead migrant die in a tractor trailer like the 53 who died in the Texas heat in San Antonio last summer. | ||
| Or the 856 who died along the Rio Grande and along the southwest border last year. | ||
| The thousands that are in the sex trafficking trade as we speak. | ||
| In the supposedly strongest and most powerful nation in the history of the world, while we're sitting here right now, some little girl is in the back of a car on I-35 getting taken God knows where. | ||

|
We talk about the Mexican cartels. | |
| They are now the shadow government of Mexico. | ||
| Why are they a shadow government? | ||
| It's very simple. They don't want to worry about Social Security, education, this kind of stuff. | ||
| No. It's much easier for the cartels to let everybody think that there's an actual government running Mexico. | ||
| There is not. The cartels have gone into towns and cities across America, bought up property. | ||
| So have the Chinese. | ||
| They work hand in hand. | ||
| And they are in bed with people within this government. | ||
| So I don't buy the saber rattling. | ||
| Doesn't mean the threat isn't real. | ||
| But look beyond the surface to what you're really looking at. | ||
| After hearing these unsettling truths, expressed passionately and with focus... | ||
| You can find that full video at band.video. | ||
| How many more is what it's titled. | ||
| How many more? I would add a little addendum to that question until we secede, until we just break away and do things for ourselves. | ||
| But hey, that's just me. Stay tuned, folks. | ||
| Your daily dose back on the other side. | ||

|
It's Tuesday, May 2nd, year of our Lord 2023. | |
| And... You're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
| Watch it live right now at band.video. | ||
| Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Welcome to American Journal. | ||
| It's Tuesday, but it feels like a Wednesday, doesn't it? | ||
| It's just me. We have a lot to talk about today. | ||
| Of course, as always, we've got the collapse of mainstream media, liberal establishment, We've got the corresponding freaking out of that establishment as they desperately attempt to retain what power they have left. | ||
| We've got some interesting developments with Fox News seemingly making a pivot towards actual news, perhaps as a flailing attempt to make up for the fact that Tucker Carlson leaving has utterly decimated their viewing numbers. | ||
| We've got war in Taiwan. | ||
| We've got war in Ukraine. We've got war in Sudan. | ||
| Upcoming war in Azerbaijan and Armenia. | ||
| False flag nuclear alerts in Houston. | ||
| Just a whole gamut to run today. | ||
| So I'm glad you're here with us. | ||
| Infowars.com is where you go to share these videos. | ||
| Band.video is also where you go to share these videos. | ||
| We've also kicked off a new thing yesterday. | ||
| Our first video that we published. | ||
| Thank you. On Instagram, TikTok, I published one, I published the same video on Twitter and YouTube. | ||
| We're re-engaging. | ||
| We're expanding the audience. | ||
| I think... The only thing that frustrates me about working at InfoWars is nothing about working at InfoWars, but about the censorship that we face across the board on every social media platform. | ||
| Because I don't want to be preaching to the choir. | ||
| I want to be bringing more people in. | ||
| I love the choir. Don't get me wrong. | ||
| But we want a bigger, more powerful, more engaged choir. | ||
| So we're doing that by trying to share our videos on as many platforms as possible. | ||
| You can share it there on Twitter. | ||
| I should probably have my handles figured out. | ||
| I think they're all... | ||
| Well, I think Twitter's Harrison H. Smith. | ||
| Yeah, Twitter's Harrison H. Smith. On Instagram, it's Harrison Hill Smith. | ||
| And on TikTok, I think it's also Harrison Hillsmith. | ||
| So if you have a TikTok or an Instagram, make sure you go and follow at Harrison Hillsmith and share these videos. | ||
| We'll be coming out with at least one a day. | ||
| And we rely on you to help us to spread this information and also tell people where they can find more because that's part of our strategy. | ||
| There's no branding. No branding. | ||
| Maybe we'll sneak in the... | ||
| The mug, right? If people are observant, they'll be able to see Infowars.com on the mug, but we're not going to have any graphics, no, you know, links in the descriptions to ban.video because I think that's what the algorithms pick up. | ||
| That's what the algorithms see, and then they strike it down. | ||
| I was talking with our editor, Reese, yesterday about it. | ||
| About how we wanted to put this video together. | ||
| And he was like, do we want like a stinger at the end? | ||
| Like the Bandai video? Sort of noise and stinger. | ||
| And it's like, no, we're pretty sure they have whatever that noise is. | ||
| And of course they have algorithms that can read the text on the screen. | ||
| And if they see Infowars.com or Bandai video or Alex Jones, then it gets struck down. | ||
| So we're going to tailor these videos to circumvent the... | ||
| And we can only do that with your help when you share it. | ||
| So, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. | ||
| YouTube is youtube.com slash offlimitsnews, I believe is where I'm uploading things there. | ||
| We'll make a graphic for all of this. | ||
| We're flying by the seat of our pants, but this is a new initiative we're doing, and hopefully you guys can help us by sharing those videos. | ||
| Maybe making your own. | ||
| They're not really that hard to edit together, especially with all the free apps that are out there now. | ||
| So anyway, that's what we're up to, but let's not waste any more time, shall we? | ||
| Let's get right into it. | ||
| Here it is, your Daily Dispatch. | ||
| All right, here it is, folks, your Daily Dispatch for Tuesday, the 2nd of May, 2023. | ||
| Hollywood writers slamming gig economy go on strike. | ||
| With potential Hollywood writers' strike to begin as soon as Tuesday, stars of the Met Gala express their support for the Writers Guild of America with Jimmy Fallon saying, I got no show without my writers. | ||
| I got no grandma without my writers. | ||
| I don't know what to say without a teleprompter telling me. | ||
| Poor Jimmy. Poor Jimmy Fallon. | ||
| Yeah, apparently late night shows are just stopping. | ||
| They're just not going to happen anymore. | ||
| I'm not sure how that's going to work, but they're going to be the first on the chopping block with this Writers Guild of America strike. | ||
| 11,500 unionized screenwriters will head to the picket lines on Tuesday where... | ||
| Ironically, they'll be doing no more or less for entertainment than they were as writers. | ||
| So I think instead of striking, maybe they should write material that people actually want to watch. | ||
| Maybe they should actually dedicate their time and energy to writing scripts for movies and TV shows that aren't absolute, utter trash. | ||
| That's just my take on it. | ||
| I guess my take on it is the writers are striking. | ||
| Really? Really, why? | ||
| Because they weren't paid enough for destroying beloved intellectual properties like Lord of the Rings and Star Wars and every other... | ||
| Cultural icon that they can get their grubby little hands on. | ||
| They're not being paid enough for absolutely dissecting and destroying and sacrificing to Satan our beloved childhood memories, really. | ||
| They're not getting paid and they need more. | ||
| They need more money for that. | ||
| Disney is in a state of absolute collapse as the Marvel Universe descends into diversity and chaos. | ||
| Star Wars is basically not a thing anymore. | ||
| It's now just a style for depressed and anxious cat ladies to use as their Weird fantasies at this point. | ||
| I mean, the writers in Hollywood have destroyed entertainment totally. | ||
| I say let them strike forever. | ||
| I say let them just go away. | ||
| Maybe now is the time that the real writers can get in and actually write things people want to watch. | ||
| Maybe now is the time of the scab. | ||
| The scab can cross that picket line and actually write something with heart and entertainment that has a soul, that actually makes people laugh or think or Or emote in some way, rather than just taking Scooby-Doo and replacing the mystery with overt racism. | ||
| I don't know. That's just me. | ||
| That's just me. But to the Writers Guild of America, I say, stay gone, you scumbags. | ||
| Get out of here. Go picket on a highway. | ||
| See what happens. Meanwhile, U.S. military tracking a new mystery balloon that flew over Hawaii. | ||
| A new mystery balloon has flown over American soil and is currently being tracked by the U.S. military, NBC News reported on Monday. | ||
| The latest in this is that it's headed to Mexico, I guess. | ||
| That's the latest that I've seen from Postmillennial. | ||
| They say the military has been reportedly tracking the balloon since late last week and has determined that it does not pose a threat to aerial traffic or national security and is not transmitting signals, one official says. | ||
| The official added that it's currently unclear if the object is a weather balloon or something else, adding that the U.S. could still decide to shoot down the balloon if it reaches land. | ||
| Sure. Sure, I guess. | ||
| Yeah, send a $4 million Tomahawk missile at the balloon. | ||
| Or you can just lie about it while it carefully tracks a predetermined course over the most sensitive military sites in America and then shoot it down. | ||
| I mean, that's what you did last time. | ||
| So it's up to you, I guess. | ||
| We'll be keeping an eye on that story. | ||
| Menaced by balloons. | ||
| We were a great country once, do you know that? | ||
| Meanwhile, Yellen says the U.S. could be out of cash as soon as June 1st. | ||
| Oh my God. Oh my God, it's an emergency, you guys. | ||
| Everybody pay attention. | ||
| It's an emergency, sure. | ||
| There is no such thing as cash at this point. | ||
| The leaders of the Fed and the Treasury go on TV and say things like,"...the amount of money we have is infinite. | ||
| It's as simple as pressing a button on a computer." So, you know, when they are rolling out these sort of fear tactics about the collapse of the American government because we just don't have any money anymore, just understand this is a lie. | ||
| This is somebody, you know, cinching the garden hose, wanting you to believe that there's no more water anymore. | ||
| And then they're going to open it up once you look in the hose, and it'll be hilarious. | ||
| We'll get into this a little bit more, too, but this is the big drama right now. | ||
| Oh, the Democrats and Republicans, they're going head-to-head, folks. | ||
| It's very exciting, very distracting. | ||
| We're not going to spend too much time on that, actually. | ||
| We will look into it. | ||
| But we'll continue. Texas AG Jen Paxton announces... | ||
| Ken Paxton, rather, announces investigation against Pfizer, J&J, and Moderna over their deceptive practices. | ||
| It's a start. It's a start. | ||
| I'd like to see it end. | ||
| Well... I'm back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||

|
Very sad story to cover today. | |
| The death of a beloved media organization. | ||
| Started out so great, so strong, so alternative, so obscure and sort of bizarre. | ||
| Vice News. I remember first hearing about it in high school. | ||
| My sister would buy the magazines at the bookstore. | ||
| There were these, like, crazy, random, edgy, like... | ||
| It was like something you'd do. | ||
| It was like nothing you'd ever seen before. | ||
| Vice News. These long elaborate articles, these amazing artful layouts. | ||
| Articles about strange subcultures that hadn't percolated up to the mainstream yet. | ||
| It was a really interesting organization there for a little while. | ||
| Then something happened. | ||
| We don't know what it is. | ||
| No, we do. We do know what it is. | ||
| They went mainstream. | ||
| They sold out. | ||
| And now they're filing for bankruptcy. | ||
| Stories at Infowars.com. | ||
| Vice Media to file for bankruptcy. | ||
| Vice Media, once known as the largest youth media group in the world, is preparing to file for bankruptcy. | ||
| The New York Times reported on Monday the paper noted the company could soon come under the control of an investment firm should it fail to find a buyer. | ||
| While at least five companies have shown interest in buying Vice, the chances of an acquisition are, quote, growing increasingly slim, a source with knowledge of the potential bankruptcy told the Times. | ||
| Three people familiar with Vice's operations suggested the company could file sometime in the coming weeks, though they did not offer details about discussions with possible buyers. | ||
| And again, I can't help but see this as related to all of the other big shakeups we're seeing in media. | ||
| After all, BuzzFeed goes down. | ||
| Shortly after that, Vice goes down. | ||
| Tucker Carlson gets fired. | ||
| Don Lemon gets fired. There's a lot of pretty big shakeups happening here. | ||
| This is just the latest. | ||
| And again, it goes to illustrate just how hard it is to sell something that people don't want. | ||
| It's really, it's got to be difficult. | ||
| Because after all, they have received billions of dollars in just straight cash injections over the last couple years. | ||
| And they still are utterly flailing, failing, and bankrupt. | ||
| A bankruptcy filing could mean a takeover by Vice's largest investor, Fortress Investment Group, which holds senior debt at the company and would be the first paid in the event it is sold. | ||
| Vice did not confirm whether it's weighing the move, but issued a statement on Monday saying it is, quote, engaged in a comprehensive evaluation of strategic alternatives and planning. | ||
| Yeah. Yeah, sounds like me when my wife wants me to change a diaper. | ||
| I'd love to change that diaper, but right now I'm engaged in a comprehensive evaluation of strategic alternatives to changing a diaper, so let me get right back to you on that. | ||
| Don't you love corporate speak? | ||
| And that its board and stakeholders continue to be focused on finding the best path for the company. | ||
| Well, where are you headed? | ||
| I think that would be the first question before you ask what path you should take. | ||
| Because where you've been headed for a while is into the cesspool of history. | ||
| It's into the manure dump to be composted to become something useful like fertilizer. | ||
| Launched in Montreal, Canada in 1994 as an irreverent and often offensive DIY magazine and driven by the irascible Shane Smith... | ||
| Also, I would add, Gavin McGinnis, and maybe he can buy it back. | ||
| Maybe that's the ultimate completion of the circle, is Gavin McGinnis buys Vice magazine once again and resurrects it from the grave of woke, mainstream, petulant, drug-addled nonsense and brings it up to its heights of counterculture extremism once again. | ||
| Vice has shed much of its former punk rock aesthetic. | ||
| It transformed into a major media concern, courting massive investments from the likes of Disney and 21st Century Fox. | ||
| Though the company was valued at $5.7 billion in 2017 following a $450 million injection from TBG. It's worth just, quote, a tiny fraction of that today, according to the Times. | ||
| Since its peak, Vice has encountered a more difficult digital media market that has, quote, consistently failed to turn a profit for several years, forcing it to lay off staffers as it hemorrhaged money. | ||
| Disney reportedly considered buying Vice Media for $3 billion back in 2015, but ultimately backed out of the deal. | ||
| It's unclear whether Disney is among the five potential buyers that are said to be in contact with the company. | ||
| I'll give you $14. | ||
| Hey Vice, reach out to me. | ||
| $14. I'm willing to go to $20. | ||
| But you gotta make some, you gotta meet me in the middle here. | ||
| Is it even worth $20? | ||
| We're not sure. We're really not sure. | ||
| Highlighting its struggles, the outlet last week said it would be shutting down its Vice World News branch, which made its name with risky, gonzo-style reporting from conflict and crisis zones around the globe. | ||
| A recent shakeup in leadership could also signal trouble for Vice, as both its chief executive, Nancy Dubik, and its global president of news and entertainment, Jesse Angelo, have exited the company this year. | ||
| Rats fleeing a sinking ship. | ||
| Again, there's not, I mean, they mentioned one $450 million injection from a private equity firm, but that's not the only money that Vice has received over the last several years. | ||
| Disney itself put more than $400 million into Vice Media. | ||
| Now it says that investment is worthless. | ||
| This was all the way back in 2019. | ||
| I believe they gave them the money in 2017. | ||
| Vice is still worth something in some investors' eyes. | ||
| Last week, again, this article is from 2019, but they say a group of lenders said they put a fresh round of $250 million into the company. | ||
| Mike, which was, you know, all these are Vice subsidiaries. | ||
| Can you imagine? Can you imagine if Infowars just routinely received cash injections of half a billion dollars? | ||
| Could you imagine? I mean, you can't imagine it because then those organizations who were giving us the hundreds of millions of dollars would have some form of oversight over what we do here. | ||
| And the fact that we cover all of their misdeeds and corruption means they probably wouldn't want to fund us in the first place. | ||
| And if they did, that would be their first priority is shutting that down entirely. | ||
| Can you imagine? $450 million, $250 million, another $400 million there, right? | ||
| From Disney, from private investment groups, from equity firms, just injecting hundreds of millions of dollars. | ||
| And they can't stay afloat because what they're pushing is... | ||
| As we've mentioned before, utter and complete trash. | ||
| It's a trash magazine with trash people running it, writing trash articles about trash lifestyles. | ||
| So yeah, it's going down. | ||
| But the more important thing is understanding how this is almost symbolic of the wider American culture as a whole. | ||
| That things that are original and unique and alternative and dissident get taken over by corporations who... | ||
| Use the power of the purse strings and the power of the infinite supply of money that they have, usually other people's money that they're holding onto as investment firms, to prop up and then morph beyond recognition something that was good. | ||
| And then they, you know, take the profit, make a couple hundreds of millions of dollars off the top while they leave the carcass of the... | ||
| Animal they've parasitically destroyed to rot in the sun afterwards and leave hundreds or thousands of people jobless while they move off to their next victim. | ||
| It's media, folks. Welcome back, folks. | ||
| This is the American Journal. | ||

We have a lot of things to cover in the realm of warfare. | |
| Massive geopolitical goings-on. | ||
| False flag alerts, fake hate crimes, leading to superstar status and incredible careers for those who carry out the hoaxes. | ||
| But we're going to start today, or continue, wherever we are in the show, by talking a little bit about the old culture wars. | ||
| We're going to answer a question that seems to be baffling a lot of people. | ||
| I realize today, we'll have to do it later, but I want to start doing a segment where we answer the media's questions. | ||
| All these headlines asking questions. | ||
| What does this look... | ||
| Why are these people doing this, right? | ||
| And we'll just get all the headlines that have question marks at the end and just answer them. | ||
| Because usually the answer is like one or two words. | ||
| It's really not that complicated. | ||
| One of these would be like, why do people care about depicting Cleopatra as being black? | ||
| It's like, well, because she wasn't. | ||
| There's your answer. There it is. | ||
| Now, it gets a lot deeper than that. | ||
| The real question is, why are you so insistent on trying to tell everybody Cleopatra is black? | ||
| But that's a whole different set of answers and very deep-seated cultural issues. | ||
| That populations have. | ||
| But the question, what bothers you so much about a black Cleopatra is, well, she wasn't black. | ||
| And it goes deeper than that because obviously this has been a very big theme in Hollywood over the recent past, after all. | ||
| They gotta put their spin on all of the old stories that they're retelling in much more boring and less interesting ways, right? | ||
| When you're recycling... Scripts from 20 or 10 or 5 or 50 years ago, and you want to put your little creative spin on it, Hollywood's answer is to turn the red-headed character into a black character, pin a star on themselves, and then go on strike. | ||
| I mean, that's where they're at now. | ||
| But this is different than that, right? | ||
| So there's outrage. There's been outrage over and over every single time this happens, taking a traditionally white or Asian or Middle Eastern character And turning them into a black character on a depiction in a show or something. | ||
| But this is different. | ||
| This is different. The story from today, let me find the latest one, is about Cleopatra not being depicted in some sort of Film, some sort of piece of fiction, historical fiction of some sort. | ||
| It's a documentary. | ||
| It's a documentary they've made that purports to be telling you true history that has decided that historical accuracy in this docu-series comes second to their political motivations and their race hustling. | ||
| It's more than... | ||
| Oh, well, this fictional character is being played by an actress of a different skin color now. | ||
| It's that the people who made this, what purports to be a documentary, in other words, what reports to be telling you the historical truth about real people and real-life events that really existed, is instead using those real-life events, distorting them beyond recognition, and doing it explicitly because of a racial political agenda. | ||
| And so we're going to answer the question, is Cleopatra black? | ||
| It's actually not that hard of a question to answer. | ||
| The answer is no. And it's like a million reasons why the answer is no. | ||
| And again, the real question is, why are you insisting on stealing the cultural achievements of other people? | ||
| It's very bizarre. | ||
| It's very strange. And again, it's not that this is just a different actress playing a fictional character that they choose to make black. | ||
| There's reports to be a documentary series where they don't just have a black actress playing Cleopatra. | ||
| They go out of their way to tell you that Cleopatra was in fact a black African. | ||
| It's just not true. It's just not true. | ||
| Are we the ones that... | ||
| Went out of our way to insist that Cleopatra is a white woman, whether she's even white. | ||
| I mean, that's what I mean. Mediterranean, Greeks, is that? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| We can get into that debate if we want. | ||
| But it's like all of these things. | ||
| You can just celebrate black historical figures. | ||
| You can just make documentaries about real African people that really existed in the past that were really black and celebrate that. | ||
| Why are you going out of your way to co-opt and culturally appropriate things for the black community that have nothing to do with the black community? | ||
| It's insulting to me, to everybody. | ||
| It should be. It feels like you're insulting the black community. | ||
| It's like, you don't have any historical figures, so we're going to steal some of these others and say it's ours and then cancel you if you disagree by calling you racist, even though we're the ones that started this whole drama in the first place. | ||
| And again, you have screenshots from this. | ||
| You have scenes from this Netflix documentary. | ||
| I should probably lay the ground. | ||
| I should probably do my journalistic duty and actually tell you what the hell I'm talking about here. | ||
| From MiddleEastEye.net. | ||
| Netflix. Why the idea of Black Cleopatra is so controversial for Egyptians. | ||
| The streaming platform Netflix has sparked a backlash by depicting the legendary queen as a black woman despite no evidence of her having sub-Saharan ancestry. | ||
| More than two million years ago... | ||
| The Egyptian queen... | ||
| Two millennia ago... | ||
| Okay, I was confused by that. More than two millennia ago, Egyptian queen Cleopatra found herself in a power struggle with her younger brother Ptolemy XIII for control of her country. | ||
| The two had been co-rulers, but the legendary queen was forced into exile by her brother's powerful ministers. | ||
| Sensing an opportunity to exploit the discord in the resource-rich Nile region, Roman leader Julius Caesar set sail for Egypt with the ostensible aim of helping negotiations between the siblings. | ||
| Setting up camp in Alexandria, Cleopatra made sure she would have the powerful Roman's ear first. | ||
| According to legend, she had herself wrapped in a carpet that was brought to Caesar's chamber, revealing herself as it was unrolled. | ||
| For more than two millennia, the legendary figure of Cleopatra has fascinated historians and become a mainstay of popular depictions in Egypt. | ||
| And she really is a fascinating character. | ||
| And she was the last of the Ptolemic dynasty. | ||
| That is the dynasty that was founded by Ptolemy, who was a... | ||
| A lieutenant of Alexander the Great, when Alexander the Great took over all of the Middle East and parts of Persia, as well as the Anatolian Peninsula, as soon as he died, it basically split into warring factions, each one headed by one of his lieutenants or one of his men-at-arms. | ||
| The Ptolemic dynasty was probably the longest-lived of that one, and it lasted all the way until Cleopatra. | ||
| Who was the last queen of that particular dynasty, which was not Egyptian. | ||
| It was Greek. They were an occupying force in a lot of ways. | ||
| But in order to rule Egypt, you had to be Egyptian. | ||
| So that's what they did. So the new documentary drama, Queen Cleopatra, has sparked outrage in Egypt for its depiction of the famed queen as a black woman. | ||
| Leading the condemnation is Egyptian official Mustafa Waziri, Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Egyptian Archaeology, who's described the film as a, quote, blatant historical misconception. | ||
| Waseri is backed by Egyptian MPs, including one who's called for the entire streaming platform to be banned in the country for its attack on family values. | ||
| To refute the idea that Cleopatra was black, the Egyptian government has released a statement and images of historical depictions of the queen. | ||
| They include a statue bust in the classical Greek style as well as coins that depict her side profile. | ||
| According to the officials, these depictions prove that Cleopatra had white skin and Hellenistic characteristics. | ||
| They also point to the queen's ancestry, which was as a member of the Ptolemic dynasty, and it is Greek in origin. | ||
| The family is named for Ptolemy I, a general in Alexander the Great's army, who took over Egypt after the breakup of the great conqueror's empire after his death in the 4th century BCE. Again, we're going to get back to this, and we're going to address this question as well, where they say, so where does the idea of Cleopatra being black come from? | ||
| Well, it comes from racialist liars. | ||

|
Welcome back, folks. . | |
| This is the American Journal. | ||
| We're going to talk about all sorts of more important things a little bit later. | ||
| We're going to stick with the cultural war right now. | ||
| Really, this is a pretty big topic that sort of spans... | ||
| The entire stretch of what we talk about. | ||
| In other words, there's a lot more behind this seemingly small change than the people who made the change would want you to believe. | ||
| I'm trying to figure out how to even express this. | ||
| But of course, there's a classic quote from George Orwell that the easiest way to destroy a people is to destroy their history. | ||
| And that's what this is, and it's an attack on history. | ||
| And it's not just an attack on the history of white people. | ||
| It's not just an attack on white people. | ||
| It is those things, obviously. | ||
| But it's an attack on history itself. | ||
| It's suggesting that historical reality should come second to modern, contemporary, Brand new political ideologies and agendas. | ||
| See, they're not saying, what if? | ||
| They're not saying, well, you know, it could be one thing, it could be another. | ||
| We just don't know. No, they do know. | ||
| They know what the reality is. | ||
| But what Netflix is doing... | ||
| It's what school textbook companies are doing, what authors are doing, and that is willfully and knowingly destroying history to serve their immediate political agendas. | ||
| This is how you control a nation. | ||
| I mean, if you can't look back in history, if you have nothing you can look back on and know actually to be true, like even just doing this, even if you don't believe it, it's still... | ||
| It undermines the entire concept that you can trust history at all, right? | ||
| If things can just be arbitrarily changed based on what is politically expedient for the activists that make history, write history at this point, then history is nothing more than a projection from the modern age into the past of whatever they want it to be. | ||
| History is not always what you want it to be. | ||
| History is not always pretty, but ideally what you're telling is the truth, and you can learn lessons from that truth. | ||
| Even if they're not the lessons that you particularly want to learn, even if they contradict your false reality that you've established, you need to get rid of the false reality, not the history. | ||
| So, of course, just to tread over the same ground over and over from 1984, every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered, and the process is continuing day by day, minute by minute. | ||
| History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right. | ||
| And again, I'm not the one projecting politics into this. | ||
| This was done explicitly for its political impact. | ||
| From the director of the Netflix documentary Queen Cleopatra, she says, quote, I realized what a political act it would be to see Cleopatra portrayed by a black actress. | ||
| For me, the idea that people had gotten it so incredibly wrong before mean we had to get it even more right. | ||
| Of course, they are. | ||
| Of course, the ones actually getting it wrong. | ||
| But that's beside the point. | ||
| I realized what a political act it would be to see Cleopatra portrayed by a black actress. | ||
| Again, I remind you, it's not just a black actress playing a historical figure. | ||
| It's a documentary that explicitly says Cleopatra was a black African. | ||
| It's... So, you know, I guess how it happens is they come out and make a supposedly truthful historical documentary about a real-life person and real events. | ||
| They alter it to fit their political agenda. | ||
| And then if you argue against it or if you point out that it's false, you must be a racist. | ||
| You're trying to hide the glory of the African race. | ||
| It's also absurd. So, of course, Egyptians are kind of pissed at this, right? | ||
| Getting mad at Netflix, saying you're literally stealing our history and reappropriating it and giving credit to people that don't deserve it. | ||
| That's not fair to us or to them or to anybody for that matter. | ||
| Telegraph You know, again, frames it dishonestly. | ||
| Netflix drama angers Egyptians by casting black actresses as Cleopatra. | ||
| Again, they didn't just cast a black actress. | ||
| They explicitly say, I mean, here's a quote from the documentary. | ||
| Quote, I remember my grandma telling me, I don't care what they tell you in school, Cleopatra was black. | ||
| Right? It's not just an actress playing a character. | ||
| They're telling you in history that this is... | ||
| And again, if you want to abandon the reality of history for the expediency of political lies, you're a bad person. | ||
| You probably shouldn't have a documentary show. | ||
| The trailer for the new historical series shows the first century ruler of Egypt as a woman of black African descent after producer Jada Pinkett Smith, the wife of actor Will Smith, cited the importance of, quote, telling stories about black queens. | ||
| Well, you're telling a story about a Greek queen that you're claiming is black. | ||
| I mean, it's... Like, it's nothing to be proud of. | ||
| Like, I don't know. I think if I... I don't know. | ||
| I'm not black. I think if I was a black American, I would be insulted at this, right? | ||
| So you're just... You're going to co-opt somebody else's history instead of telling ours? | ||
| Instead of actually telling real history, of which there is millennia worth of history to tell. | ||
| It's not like Africa doesn't have history. | ||
| In fact, there are some really amazing stories to be told in African history. | ||
| I'll tell you my favorite one here in just a second. | ||
| I think there's a reason those will never get told, and you'll see in just a minute. | ||
| So again, the decision to cast a black actress, and they keep referring to it as if this is just a casting choice, and the role of the queen has caused anger in Egypt, where experts have argued that the queen was of European descent and not black. | ||
| Netflix's Cleopatra director defends black casting. | ||
| What bothers you so much about a black Cleopatra? | ||
| It's just like, so they just lie. | ||
| They just lie. They go out of their way to explicitly and for a political purpose change the race of somebody. | ||
| And then they're like, why does that bother you? | ||
| What, are you racist or something? | ||
| You're the one doing it. | ||
| So why are you doing it? | ||
| We just have to respond to what you do. | ||
| It's annoying. You could just make a documentary about Cleopatra. | ||
| Of course, I would... You know, guess that nothing in this documentary is accurate. | ||
| I mean, if they're willing to take... | ||
| With something like this, again, explicitly saying we did this because it's political. | ||
| To make a political statement, we altered the facts about the past. | ||
| I mean, you realize that's a door you don't want to open, right? | ||
| You realize that is evidence of like a severe lack of moral character in the people writing your history, which is how you understand who you are as a race, as the human race, and who you are as an individual and where you fit in the timeline. | ||
| I mean, this is... | ||
| Shaking that entire foundation and the mainstream media is, of course, defending this. | ||
| But it goes way, way deeper than that because, of course, this is not the first time that this type of thing has happened. | ||
| You've got just a litany of examples. | ||
| A lot of them are from fantasy and fictional stuff, so it's not that big of a deal. | ||
| But these are just a couple of examples from End Wokeness on Twitter. | ||
| Charlotte It's a white English woman played by a black African. | ||
| Anne Boleyn was a white English woman played in this instance by a black African. | ||
| Cleopatra, of course, was Greek or Macedonian being played and depicted and said explicitly is a black African woman. | ||
| And you even have Jarl Hekon, a white male Viking from history, being played as a African black woman. | ||
| And you have the things like the... | ||
| You know, ads for Norwegian or Swedish Airlines where it's like some Ethiopian guy being like, us and our Viking ancestors. | ||
| And it's like, what are you talking about? | ||
| And that's where it gets really, like, disturbing, is when you have things like the Cheddar Man in England. | ||
| You have articles from the BBC or like this one from CNN. Experts reveal digital image of what an Egyptian man looked like almost 35,000 years ago. | ||
| And they, of course, go out of their way to try to make it look like he's a... | ||
| Black African guy to try to insinuate that all of Egypt was black, to try to insinuate that blacks don't have any history and have to appropriate other people's history in order to have any value in the world, which isn't true. | ||
| But this is happening at the same time that the populations of Europe are being... | ||
| Systematically replaced by the influx of millions upon millions of Middle Easterners and Africans. | ||
| Videos out of Italy, Ireland, Spain, over the recent weeks of just hundreds upon hundreds. | ||
| Of course, the UK is the biggest target for them. | ||
| Millions upon millions of Africans pouring into Europe while simultaneously the scientific community and the mainstream media tells Europeans... | ||
| White people don't exist. | ||
| They're not indigenous to that land or any land, and they're all actually black. | ||
| All right, welcome back, folks. | ||
| We'll move on, I guess. | ||
| I mean, there's still so much more to say about Black Cleopatra. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's just so, it's so weird. | |
| It's so bizarre. We'll move on. | ||
| Maybe we won't. Maybe I'll keep going on this. | ||
| Because it... | ||
| You know, it's just one of those things that it's like... | ||
| You can't imagine it happening any other way, right? | ||
| You can't imagine white people... | ||
| Like making a movie where... | ||
| Oda Nabanaga is a white guy... | ||
| And not just like, well, we thought he was the best actor. | ||
| We thought he was a good actor, so we chose him. | ||
| But actually being like, no, actually the leader of Japan following the Warring States period was a white guy. | ||
| Actually, we're pretty sure he was white. | ||
| And he was white. And we're going to make a documentary. | ||
| We're going to call it a documentary. | ||
| We're going to write a history book that says that this clearly Japanese man was actually white. | ||
| And not only is the media going to cover up, like, say it's true and good, but we're also going to say that we're doing it explicitly for a political reason because we love white people and hate Japanese people. | ||
| So, you know, we went ahead and changed their race because we like their history and we want it. | ||
| It's ours now. Can I throw a tough one at you? | ||
| Yeah. What about Jesus? | ||
| What about Jesus? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Was Jesus white? | |
| He's another historical figure that is portrayed black for political reasons. | ||
| No, he was Judean. | ||
| He was of Judean ancestry. | ||
| He was of the tribe of Shem. | ||
| He was a Semite. He was a Middle Easterner that probably looked not unlike the Palestinians that live there today. | ||
| Probably did not look like an Eastern European. | ||
| But again, it's not even, you know, even in that regard, there's a leniency because it's religious figures and the point of Jesus and the Virgin Mary and these figures, these historical figures, is that they transcend the human. | ||
| So like when, yeah... | ||
| You think anybody followed this guy? | ||
| I don't think so. I mean, we have depictions of Jesus from like... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Are you telling me that's not Jesus right there? | |
| That is not Jesus. | ||
| That is a man named Umberto. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just making sure. I'm trying to throw a good one at you. | |
| Yeah. Curveball. | ||
| No, no, not a curveball. | ||
| But, you know, you see depictions of Jesus or the Virgin Mary in all sorts of styles depending on what culture you're in. | ||
| I've seen Chinese tapestries, Japanese depictions of Jesus where they look, Jesus and Virgin Mary where they look distinctly Japanese or South American where, you know, it's Jesus and Mary and they're in the manger and it, you know, the manger and the, you know, there's llamas standing next to them instead of donkeys and horses. | ||
| There's, you know, the traditional, Peruvian style that they're wearing but they're still depicting Jesus and Mary. | ||
| Nobody's arguing that they were actually Peruvian but I think that's fine. | ||
| I think it's fine to take a religious figure and sort of in their portrayal You know, portrayed as something that the people of the area recognize and are close to because the point of them is that they transcend the differences of humanity. | ||
| The colonizer Jesus. | ||
| Okay. That's very funny. | ||
| But what about this? | ||
| From, again, End Wokeness on Twitter. | ||
| St. Augustine will now be depicted as black in order to, quote, decenter whiteness. | ||
| See, it's not about historical accuracy. | ||
| It's not about... Like, ah, the white people said these people were white, but really they were black. | ||
| It's like, they know these people are white and European, and this is all just a part of the mass movement, whether it's tearing down statues or taking down portraits in universities or renaming military bases or, you know, making commercials in Europe where... | ||
| You have black people being like, I am indigenous to Sweden. | ||
| And it's just like, you're not the... | ||
| I mean, this is all part of a singular, monolithic attack on reality, attack on history, attack on white people, attack on institutions and countries that have existed for a millennium. | ||
| All right, welcome back, folks. | ||
| I just... I'll tell you a story about a black leader in history. | ||
| I think maybe I've mentioned him before on this show. | ||
| I don't even like talking about it. | ||
| I'll tell you why. I still, as far-fetched as it may seem, I would love to make a full-length, feature-length movie about this guy. | ||
| And somebody's going to make a movie about this guy, and it's going to be the biggest movie of the year. | ||
| It's going to start a whole new trend in film. | ||
| It's going to be the next Gladiator, right? | ||
| And afterwards, you're going to see a whole bunch of movies that are like, I swear, this historical figure is so ripe for filmmaking. | ||
| Like, I don't even like talking about it because I want to do it. | ||
| I want to make this movie. | ||
| I've thought about that for such a long time. | ||
| But again, what we're talking about, if you're just joining us, is historical anarchism, historical vandalism taking place. | ||
| As Matt, my producer, pointed out in the break, it's about confusing you, it's about... | ||
| The term, I guess, the actually most appropriate term would be bastardization. | ||
| That Western, European, even Mediterranean, world history is being bastardized. | ||
| It's being stripped of its roots. | ||
| It's being ripped up from anything real and tangible and replaced by whatever the current political expedient is. | ||
| I guess there's some show, and all these shows just fail anyway, so it's not even that important because if you're willing to make decisions like we're going to make our main historical figure in this documentary a different race because we're that race and we want her to be that race, | ||
| you're not good at making decisions, so your movie's going to be bad, your film's going to be bad, and whatever truth you may be telling will be Overweighed, outweighed by the lies that are keeping it down. | ||
| But apparently there's this series of some sort where there's a black Viking named Jarl Haakon. | ||
| I guess it was a real historical figure. | ||
| It was a man and Swedish, but was being portrayed as a black woman. | ||
| And this is the way it's covered in the mainstream media. | ||
| Certain corners of the internet were unhappy with Jarl Haakon for a repugnant reason, her skin color. | ||
| Repugnant. You're repugnant if you think that historical film should have any semblance of historical accuracy. | ||
| You're repugnant. It's not because you are Swedish and want to hear about your history and want to see it depicted in a way that is even remotely accurate, right? | ||
| It's because you hate black people, actually. | ||
| And you just can't handle a strong black woman character. | ||
| It's like, this is how it's covered, okay? | ||
| Obviously, thinly veiled racist critiques aside, it's a racist critique... | ||
| When your racism inspires you to change the pigmentation of a character, it's other people being racist when they say, what? | ||
| Anyway, there's still genuine good-faith confusion about a black Viking in a reportedly more or less historically accurate show. | ||
| However, black Vikings are historically accurate. | ||
| Hmm, no, they're not, actually. | ||
| Hate to tell you that, they're not. | ||
| However, Black Viking, like, again, can you possibly imagine? | ||
| Just like, actually, there were blonde-haired, blue-eyed Zulus. | ||
| It's like, no, there weren't, actually. | ||
| There weren't, and why would you say that there are, and why would you be mad at me for saying that there aren't? | ||
| I don't know. Somebody in the break said something about being culturally insensitive. | ||
| There's something insensitive about this. | ||
| I don't treat black people like they're little children that need to be lied to because the reality is too much for them to handle. | ||
| It's just like these scumbags who make these movies are lying to you and I'm telling you the truth. | ||
| If you're mad at me, you're not mad at me. | ||
| You're mad at the truth. You're mad at reality. | ||
| However, black Vikings are historically accurate, they say, in a blatant lie. | ||
| The fact that Vikings are all white is a common misconception, one that mainly came to be when works like Wagner's 1800s opera Flight of the Valkyries rewrote much of Germanic history to fit the emerging proto-Nazi sentiment that would eventually inspire the philosophies of Adolf Hitler. | ||
| I mean, what? What? | ||
| Yeah, if you object to the assertion that there were black Vikings in the 1300s, you're really just a Nazi. | ||
| You're really just a member of the National Socialist Party of Germany in the 1930s. | ||
| You know what's funny? What's actually funny is that Hitler justified his racial superiority by going back and rewriting history to make powerful and important figures German. | ||
| It literally is just doing what Jada Pinkett Smith is doing, right? | ||
| If you, like, read the Hitlerian philosophy, the Nazi philosophy, it was like, you know, they were just like, oh, well, Germans, actually, Alexander the Great, he was German. | ||
| And actually, you know, all of the great leaders in history, they were all German, actually. | ||
| Actually, if you trace back, they're all German. | ||
| And it's just like... So, if you want to talk about the Nazi tactic of rewriting history to conform to your preconceived racial biases, go look in the mirror. | ||
| Not to be insensitive, but somebody is calling the kettle black. | ||
| There's a pot somewhere calling a kettle black. | ||
| When it's white as the driven snow. | ||
| But again, they're not just doing this in documentaries, and I'm sure this will be taught in school, and if you oppose it, they'll say you're racist. | ||
| They'll call it critical race theory. | ||
| But again, St. Augustine will now be depicted as black in order to, quote, decenter whiteness. | ||
| Depicting St. Augustine as a black man, decenters whiteness and demands that we recognize what it means for the church, the academy, and the world to acknowledge the intellectual and cultural gifts Africa has given the world. | ||
| It's just like, well, then why don't you point to them? | ||
| It's just, you know, the reason I want to heart, I mean, it's just, it's the disconnect from reality. | ||
| That is indicative of true, the definition of insanity, right? | ||
| We're going to change a white saint to a black saint to celebrate the contributions of black saints. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| What is this? | ||
| And then it's like, why don't they celebrate the actual black saints out there? | ||
| Here's from... A website called churchpop.com. | ||
| Eight black saints and holy people of God every Catholic should know with prayers and intercession. | ||
| And you look at the first one they list here. | ||
| St. Charles Luenga was a martyr and saint. | ||
| He is one of 22 Ugandan martyrs. | ||
| He defended his adult... | ||
| His young adult companions against the homosexual demands of the Bugandan king and instructed them in their Catholic faith. | ||
| Ah, wow. We can't celebrate him. | ||
| Ah, we can't celebrate. | ||
| He's a saint because he opposed homosexuality. | ||
| Well, we better just give blackface to St. | ||
| Augustine instead. That's better. | ||
| And they list eight of these. | ||
| Now my favorite, again, I don't even like talking about this because somebody's going to take this idea and make a billion dollars off it and it's going to become the next MCU. But I'll just go ahead and tell you. | ||
| His name was King Caleb. He was the king of Axum around the 4th century AD. Axum was on the fringes of the... | ||
| Spear of influence of the Byzantine Empire, one of the earlier countries to convert to Christianity after a Phoenician monk named Frumentius went there and instructed them on the rites and catechisms of the, not Catholic, but Orthodox faith. | ||
| Caleb of Axum was a king. | ||
| Would this not make a great movie? | ||
| He's a young king. He's... | ||
| Ready to go out there and conquer the world, quite literally. | ||
| And he hears that Christians across the Red Sea in Yemen, at the time called Himyar, finds out that the Christians are being slaughtered. | ||
| They're being thrown into ditches and lit on fire by somebody that they call the king of the ditch. | ||
| He was a usurper named Duh Nuwas. | ||
| And King Caleb goes to conquer the land and free the Christian brothers. | ||
| But he does it on his own for his own glory. | ||
| And he succeeds and he gets Duh Nuwas off the throne. | ||
| And he goes back home only to learn that Duh Nuwas has returned and is now exacting vengeance on the Christian populations. | ||
| So King Caleb thinks... | ||
| I did something wrong. I made everything worse. | ||
| What should I do this time? He goes to a monk. | ||
| He prays with him, gets advice. | ||
| He goes back over. | ||
| This time, there's a chain across the ocean blocking his ships, but he just goes forward anyway. | ||
| A storm starts. The ocean raises. | ||
| His ships go over the chain. | ||
| They get to Himyar. He frees the people again, kills Dunuwas in a one-on-one duel, and then gives up his crown and becomes a monk. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We'll be right back. Alright folks, welcome back. | |
| We are moving on. We're moving on. | ||
| I promise we're moving on. If you're wondering why you've never heard of King Caleb before, why there hasn't been a documentary series on Netflix or Gladiator-style film about King Caleb, the problem is that his... | ||
| Oh, so yeah, just to finish up. | ||
| So, essentially what King Caleb did was... | ||
| He realized, like the Psalms say, you know, anything you do for your own glory will fail, but anything you do in the name of the Lord will succeed. | ||
| And he first made everything worse by attempting to conquer Duhnuos for his own glory. | ||
| And so he made a promise and told God, if you help me defeat Dufnuos, then I will give up my crown. | ||
| In other words, I'll become a monk. | ||
| I will not benefit from the glory at all. | ||
| It's not about my glory. It's about saving the Christians in Himyar. | ||
| What is currently Yemen. | ||
| Which I think is an amazing story. | ||
| It's a true story. It's historically accurate. | ||
| It's in the reign of Justinian and Khosrow. | ||
| Maybe Khosrow I or II. So you have these global superpower hegemonies at war. | ||
| And this was sort of a proxy war between them. | ||
| But unfortunately for Hollywood, the... | ||
| Bad guy, Duke Nuwas, was a Jewish guy who was murdering Christians in a giant Holocaust, literal, throwing them in a pit and burning them to death. | ||
| And I don't think that would fly well in the studio system as it exists now. | ||
| But if you want to make that movie, hit me up. | ||
| I literally have a script ready to go. | ||
| It's just I'm too busy trying to fight the New World Order to do anything fun like make a movie. | ||
| But we'll get to it eventually. | ||
| Let me take a moment, by the way, to tell you to go to Infowarsstore.com to support us after all. | ||
| It's an information war. | ||
| It's a chemical war. It's a culture war. | ||
| It is a war on so many fronts that humanity is fighting against those that would destroy us. | ||
| And whatever means are convenient to them, if it's racial friction that they can exploit, then that's what they'll foster. | ||
| If it's war overseas that can distract America from the ill-doings of the people that run this country, then let the bombs fly. | ||
| There's a massive and concerted worldwide effort to destroy humanity itself of every race, color, and creed. | ||
| And unfortunately for them, there's a resistance of every race, color, and creed that demands the truth, demands reality, demands freedom and humanity in the face of an increasingly technological control system that they're attempting to array all around us. | ||
| We will continue this fight. | ||
| We'll continue to lead this fight, be the vanguard and the tip of the spear In this struggle, all we ask is that you go to Infowarsstore.com. | ||

| I'm going to go to a video now. | ||
| Because what we're about to see is the multi-front war in a way that only exists in the modern age. | ||
| That is not multi-front as in One front on the west and one on the east, but rather one in the diplomatic sphere, one in the media sphere, right? | ||
| So what's happening right now is that there's a conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. | ||
| They actually held peace settlement talks in Washington on Sunday, but those talks are being opposed by Russia. | ||
| This is another geopolitical issue. | ||
| Chess game going on with various players from far-flung countries all jockeying for position in these two countries in the caucus. | ||
| Armenia and Azerbaijan will hold a new round of talks in Washington on Sunday. | ||
| That was his last Sunday. To try to normalize relations. | ||
| There's a disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region. | ||
| Armed forces from the two caucus neighbors have frequently exchanged fire amid disputes over the mountain enclave, which is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, but populated mainly by ethnic Armenians. | ||
| Russia has said there's no alternative to its Karabakh mediation after a U.S. initiative. | ||
| The story from today at Barons.com. | ||
| Russia on Tuesday responded to a U.S.-hosted peace talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan this week by saying there's no alternative to a deal that Moscow signed with its two warring countries in 2020, saying, quote, for the moment, there's no legal basis that would help a resolution. | ||
| There is no alternative to these trilateral documents, Kremlin spokesperson Peskov told reporters. | ||
| Initiatives to lower tensions in the region are possible, above all, on the basis of trilateral documents signed with Russia. | ||
| So at the same time, these high-level diplomatic talks are going on as, again, more proxy conflict from the Western hegemony and Russia. | ||
| Continue, you have the other front of this attack, the information front. | ||
| And we have a video of the BBC questioning, do we have this video? | ||
| Questioning the president of Azerbaijan, clip number nine. | ||
| Here's a BBC reporter trying to, well, really warning him, sort of saying, you know, we're going to fabricate lies about your country in order to justify our invasion and maybe even a military overthrow of your government. | ||
| Here's the agent of the intelligence agencies posing as a BBC reporter getting absolutely schooled by the president of Azerbaijan. | ||

|
Why do you think that people in Azerbaijan do not have free media and opposition? | |
| Because this is what I'm told by independent sources in this country. | ||
| Which independent sources? Many independent sources. | ||
| Tell me which. I certainly couldn't name sources. | ||
| Oh, if you couldn't name that means that you're just inventing this story. | ||
| So you're saying the media is not under state control? | ||
| Not at all. I mean, NGOs are the subject of a crackdown. | ||
| Journalists are the subject of a crackdown. | ||
| Not at all. Critics are in jail. | ||
| No, not at all. None of this is true. | ||
| Absolutely fake. Absolutely. | ||
| We have free media. We have free internet. | ||
| And the number of internet users in Azerbaijan is more than 80%. | ||
| Can you imagine the restriction of media in a country where internet is free, there is no censorship, and there are 80% of internet users? | ||
| This is, again, a biased approach. | ||
| This is an attempt to create a perception in Western audience about Azerbaijan. | ||
| We have opposition, we have NGOs, we have free political activity, we have free media, we have freedom of speech. | ||
| But if you raise this question, can I ask you also one? | ||
| How do you assess what happened to Mr. | ||
| Assange? Is it a reflection of free media in your country? | ||
| Let's talk about Assange. | ||
| How many years he spent in Ecuadorian embassy? | ||
| And for what? And where is he now? | ||
| For journalistic activity. | ||
| You kept that person hostage, actually killing him morally and physically. | ||
| You did it, not us, and now he's in prison. | ||
| So you have no moral right to talk about free media when you do these things. | ||
| I'll tell you what's going on on the other side. | ||
| Powerful stuff. Good news, we will be joined at 10 o'clock Central Time by Gavin McGinnis to discuss what's happened to his Former place of employment, the place he helped found, Vice Media, now that it's filed for bankruptcy. | ||
| That should be very fun, so stay tuned. | ||
| We'll be joined by him in about 30 minutes. | ||
| Let's continue with the international realm. | ||
| There really does seem to be a concerted effort to create war somewhere for some reason. | ||
| You've got things like this. Office of the President of the Republic of China, Prince's Taiwan. | ||
| Which is interesting. | ||
| But the President of Taiwan met with Ambassador John Bolton at her home yesterday. | ||
| At her official residence. | ||
| President Tsai said that as Taiwan stands on the front line of the defense of democracy... | ||
| We are not only determined, but also well prepared to protect our homeland. | ||
| Moreover, the president stated that we are willing to deepen cooperation with the U.S. and other like-minded partners to jointly uphold peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, as well as the values of freedom and democracy. | ||
| Hey, nothing stands for democracy and peace like old John Bolton does it. | ||
| President Tsai welcomed Ambassador Bolton to Taiwan and stated that for many years, the ambassador has steadfastly supported Taiwan and striven to deeper, uh, striven... | ||
| To deepen Taiwan-US relations. | ||
| She noted that the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided. | ||
| Ambassador Bolton made a special visit, demonstrating his high regard for Taiwan. | ||
| It's like a lion has a high regard for the gazelles. | ||
| What do we have to do to get rid of John Bolton? | ||
| What is it going to take to just get that mustachioed psychopath out of our lives? | ||
| He hasn't held an official position for a while. | ||
| He did hold one under Trump for a little while. | ||
| Maybe the president of Taiwan is using John Bolton like Trump did. | ||
| In other words, everybody knows around the world that John Bolton is a harbinger of death. | ||
| He is an angel of death, a warmonger of the highest degree. | ||
| I mean, that seems to be the only thing he does. | ||
| Like, it's so weird that we have these people in the highest positions of Public office. | ||
| The only thing they've ever done is just create wars that just go horribly and kill millions and bankrupt the country and destroy our reputation around the world. | ||
| They're just there. | ||
| They're just still there. Decade after decade, it's just the same people. | ||
| It's just all they do. It's not like John Bolton is spending half his time feeding the homeless or founding some technology company and also he starts wars over it. | ||
| That's all he does. All he does is start wars. | ||
| Why is he respected? | ||
| Why is he acknowledged? | ||
| Why is he not living in a cardboard box under a bridge somewhere talking about how he used to be somebody important? | ||
| I mean, that's the only place this guy belongs. | ||
| But what he's doing is going to Taiwan. | ||
| So maybe she's using him like Trump used him. | ||
| In other words, everybody around the world knows that this guy is nothing but a warmonger. | ||
| And so you bring him in, and everybody goes, geez, they're about to do something totally retarded. | ||
| They're about to be really stupid and violent. | ||
| Let's chill on these people for a little bit. | ||
| If they're willing to bring John Bolton in, maybe we just chill out a little bit. | ||
| Somebody pouring gasoline on themselves and holding a lighter, and you're just like, let's just back off this guy for a second. | ||
| Let's just see if we can't calm things down until Bolton leaves the room. | ||
| Maybe they're using him like that. | ||
| I don't know, but I tend to think that we'll be in a hot war with China within a couple months. | ||
| No joke. That's just one of the places. | ||
| Of course, Israel and the place around it is just a continual font of violence. | ||
| Syria says Aleppo airport forced to shut down after Israeli airstrike. | ||
| One soldier killed. | ||
| We need to have a chart somewhere days since Israel has bombed its neighbors. | ||
| It'll be an easy chart. | ||
| We'll just have to have a one, two, and a three. | ||
| because we hardly make it three days without this happening. | ||
| Israel launched airstrikes against the airport in northern Syrian city of Aleppo on Monday night, killing one soldier and leaving seven others wounded, Syrian state media reported. | ||
| Their state news agency, SANA, said the Israeli Air Force warplanes targeted the Aleppo International Airport and other sites on the outskirts of the city. | ||
| It said the airport was out of service due to heavy damage caused by the strikes. | ||
| The attacks left one Syrian soldier dead and wounded another five soldiers and two civilians, SANA said. | ||
| Footage circulating online shows explosions in the night sky. | ||
| While Israel's military does not as a rule comment on specific strikes in Syria, it has admitted to conducting hundreds of sorties against Iran-backed groups attempting to gain a foothold in this country over the last decade. | ||
| Or against civilian airports, whatever. | ||
| Whatever, you know. It's just Syria after all. | ||
| So, you know, we don't have to treat them like human beings or anything. | ||
| It's totally absurd. | ||
| But one of the Sort of hot spots, one of the areas of interest that are increasingly drawing my eye are Armenia and Azerbaijan. | ||
| That seems to be another place where strange color revolution style interference from Western powers is taking place. | ||
| Armenia and Azerbaijan will hold a new round of talks in Washington on Sunday. | ||
| So yeah, we just covered this last Sunday. | ||
| There were peace talks in Azerbaijan, or in Washington rather, between Azerbaijan and Armenia. | ||
| From April 30th, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia will be in Washington, D.C. on a working visit. | ||
| The next round of discussions on the agreement of normalization of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan is scheduled, the spokesperson said on their official Facebook page. | ||
| So, I mean, it seems like ostensibly you have the Western powers backing Armenia and Russia backing Azerbaijan. | ||
| I need to look a little bit more into it. | ||
| Maybe Simon from Florida can call in. | ||
| I bet he has a thorough understanding of this. | ||
| But to me, the interesting thing is, and again, Russia is saying there's no point in holding peace talks. | ||
| We hammered out an agreement in 2020, and that stands as is, and Americans shouldn't get involved. | ||
| But I think the interesting thing about this is that it's almost like the powers that be are so confident now in their ability to trick humans, like just the ability to trick populations, that they're just blatant about it at this point. | ||
| So we just saw the video of the president of Azerbaijan being asked by the BBC why he's such a bad person. | ||
| Why he censors media in his country, and his response is, we don't. | ||
| How could we? | ||
| Our entire population is on a free and unrestricted internet, which is more than Americans can say. | ||
| He points out that Julian Assange has received horrific treatment for the activity of journalism, and that the Brits and the Americans have no leg to stand on when it comes to criticizing others for their treatment of journalists. | ||
| And it's like what you're seeing is like obviously the BBC doesn't actually care about press freedoms. | ||
| I know this is obvious, but it's like it's worth laying out explicitly that if they actually cared about these things, there are a million different things they would be reporting on. | ||
| They would be reporting on Julian Assange and calling for his release, but they're not. | ||
| They would have been reporting if Azerbaijan was an unfree country that didn't allow a free press and the BBC was really concerned about that. | ||
| They probably would have been talking about it for years, but they haven't been. | ||
| So what they do is they take these moral instances, these moral things that they can champion, and they wheel it out ahead of military intervention. | ||
| I know it's obvious. | ||
| I know it's obvious. Like, okay, yeah, the mainstream media doesn't actually care about free press. | ||
| But it's amazing to see it just happen in real time. | ||
| It's amazing to see it as, you know, the Western powers decide that Azerbaijan is a roadblock to their geopolitical global goals. | ||
| That suddenly the BBC is very interested in journalistic integrity of Azerbaijan. | ||
| When it's obvious what they're doing is just rolling out the talking points, trying to damage Azerbaijan's reputation to justify eventual military intervention in this place. | ||
| Again, I'm not even read up enough on this conflict to say which side I'm on at this point. | ||
| All I know is I'm seeing a war being fostered and created and manufactured in front of my eyes, and it's astonishing. | ||
| Still to come in today's program, Gavin McGinnis will be joining us in the next segment, taking your phone calls throughout the third hour. | ||
| And a lot more news in addition to all of that just massive corruption, the Biden administration, the likes of Anthony Blinken. | ||
| It's been a series of hate hoaxes recently. | ||
| We'll get to that in the third hour as well. | ||
| But I want to talk about what Fox is doing, in my opinion, in my reading of this situation, in a desperate attempt to staunch the bleeding that has occurred after the exit of Tucker Carlson. | ||
| Tucker Carlson, of course, had the highest rated show, not just on Fox News, but of any... | ||
| News organization, media outlet out there. | ||
| He was the top of the top and yet he was fired. | ||
| Now there have been stories, there's one on Infowars.com about Zelensky making a call to Robert Murdoch and perhaps leaning on him to get Tucker Carlson to shut up. | ||
| But just as we said as soon as the Tucker Carlson firing happened, you can look for an individual reason, but it's the total of all of these things. | ||
| When you had everybody from the intelligence agencies, all of the blue-blood, old-school, warmonger Republicans, Chuck Schumer on, like, the floor of the Senate demanding the removal of Tucker Carlson, the leftist activists demanding the people boycott your show or insisting that the advertisers no longer advertise on you. | ||
| And you have the pharmaceutical companies and the military-industrial complex and foreign presidents all demanding this. | ||
| I mean, it was a... It was a cacophony of all of these people because Tuck Carlson was actually telling the truth in the face of the empire of lies that we currently live in. | ||
| And so when he left, it wasn't just his audience going, which was the biggest, which was by itself a major blow, but every other show on Fox is down in viewership, some of them 50% at this point, because people are done with Fox. | ||
| A lot of people only watched Fox for Tucker, but even the people who watched the other shows, I don't know whether as a statement, I mean, there's been no coordinated boycott as far as I know, but people just, they just understand now. | ||
| That if you give the people what they want, the corporate handlers come in and set things right. | ||
| So I think what we're about to see is an attempt to staunch that bleeding, to stop that hemorrhaging of viewership by letting some of their other hosts dip their toe in the red pill pool. | ||
| Right? Oh, we didn't get rid of Tucker Carlson because he's so extreme. | ||
| Look how extreme Jesse Waters is being. | ||
| So we're going to go to this video now, clip number six. | ||
| This is Jesse Waters on Jeffrey Epstein saying things that we've never heard out of a Fox News host going farther than anybody but Tucker Carlson has gone on that network. | ||
| And you have to wonder, why now? | ||
| And is this going to be a thing now? | ||
| Fox News is actually contravening, contradicting the military-industrial complex? | ||
| Or is this... | ||
| Something just to try to draw viewership back in, knowing that the people that they lost when they got rid of Tucker Carlson are the info warriors, people that are really hungry for the truth and not satisfied with being spoon-fed, intelligence community-approved lies. | ||
| So here's Jesse Waters saying, again, something you haven't heard on Fox News before, saying it's never been more clear Epstein was an intelligence asset Let's watch. | ||
| Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was arrested. | ||
| So, why do we still know nothing about him? | ||
| Well, we're finding out tonight some answers. | ||
| The Wall Street Journal just got its hands on Jeffrey Epstein's private calendar. | ||
| And it was a lot more suspicious than Brett Kavanaugh's. | ||
| Epstein was meeting with the kind of people you'd think would steer clear of a convicted pedophile. | ||
| Jeffrey Epstein was meeting with one of Barack Obama's top lawyers, Katherine Rumler. | ||
| She met with Epstein dozens of times. | ||
| Epstein even tried to set up Obama's lawyer to work for Bill Gates. | ||
| How is Jeffrey Epstein a fixer between Obama's lawyer and Bill Gates? | ||
| Epstein was also meeting with Joe Biden's CIA Director. | ||
| He wasn't CIA Director at the time. | ||
| He was Barack Obama's Deputy Secretary of State. | ||
| William Burns was working for John Kerry at the State Department and meeting with Jeffrey Epstein, a known pedophile. | ||
| And then Burns becomes CIA Director. | ||
| Huh. Today's director of the CIA went to Epstein's Manhattan townhouse where Epstein had sex with underage girls and, you know, where he filmed other men having sex with underage girls. | ||
| And William Burns went there and was then promoted to the director of the CIA. Now, I wonder if the future CIA director saw the portrait of Bill Clinton in a blue dress hanging in Epstein's parlor room. | ||
| A few years later, Epstein was arrested and then hung himself in a jail cell while security cameras just happened to not be working. | ||
| Wrong. And the replacement guards just happened to fall asleep. | ||
| And two years later, Biden just happens to pick William Burns to run the CIA. So what are we supposed to think? | ||
| Let's just pause it right there. | ||
| Because again, you know, good on Fox News for actually covering this, for actually talking about this for... | ||
| You know, lengthening Jesse Waters' chain a little bit, I guess. | ||
| You know, all I think when I see this is making InfoWars' job more hard. | ||
| When you got Fox News going in-depth about the Epstein story, I mean, how much deeper can you go? | ||
| The answer is much deeper. | ||
| A whole hell of a lot deeper. | ||
| Some of the things that you may have missed in there are subtle. | ||
| They're still pushing the Jeffrey Epstein killed himself story. | ||
| From the evidence that I've seen, Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself because Jeffrey Epstein's not dead. | ||
| I don't think he's dead. | ||
| I think he's basking on an island somewhere or having undergone reconstructive surgery is... | ||
| Like a shopkeeper in Tel Aviv or something. | ||
| Well, he's probably still a billionaire. He's probably still a billionaire. | ||
| He's probably still living with a harem of underage girls just this time in a country that won't extradite pedophiles. | ||
| After all, the body that they showed pictures of, which, you know, what's the old Iraq war saying from Donald Rumsfeld? | ||
| Known unknowns, that kind of idea. | ||
| You've got to ask, like, why do we get pictures of some corpses of famous people and others get thrown off a boat into the ocean without so much as a Polaroid taken of them, like Osama bin Laden? | ||
| Why is it that the press was not only allowed to capture, but then went out of their way to publish shots of Jeffrey Epstein being dead? | ||
| Is it because they really, really wanted people to think that he was dead? | ||
| Is it because they put out pictures to... | ||
| Really convince people that it had actually happened. | ||
| But what about his ears? | ||
| What about the fact that the corpse they show had ears that looked entirely different than Jeffrey Epstein's pictures when he was alive? | ||
| And what about the independent journalist who was filming with a drone on Epstein's islands a few days later where somebody who looks exactly like Jeffrey Epstein was there supervising the cleanup of all of the evidence? | ||
| So, Fox News will dip their toe in the water, but InfoWars is here with the high dive, the cannonball off the high dive, telling you that Yeah, he did have CIA connections because Jeffrey Epstein was a wholesale creation of, you could say the Mossad, but it's the superlative, overarching, supranational intelligence community that operates above and beyond national distinction. | ||
| Let's go back to Jesse Waters now. | ||
| Epstein was an intelligence asset. | ||
| Not only was he working for the CIA, Israeli intelligence, maybe even Russia intelligence. | ||
| Yeah, maybe he was Russian. So was the American government allowing an asset to traffic and molest teenage girls all over the world for intelligence? | ||
| Yes. Were we allowing Epstein to commit crimes against children for blackmail material? | ||
| Jesse, yes. Well, we asked the CIA director, William Burns, you know, why were you meeting with a convicted pedophile at his disgusting townhouse? | ||
| And the CIA director said this. | ||
| He was my boss. | ||
| Jeffrey Epstein was my boss, he says. | ||
| Other than that he was introduced as an expert in the financial services sector. | ||
| Yeah, we've already covered all that. | ||
| He wasn't even an expert. | ||
| Like, even the lies they come up with To cover up their activities are a lie. | ||
| Like, he wasn't an expert in anything. He had one customer, and it was Lex Wexner, the CEO of Victoria's Secret, who gave him the most expensive townhouse in Manhattan for free because he was just such a nice guy. | ||
| These people are just so nice to each other. | ||
| These gifts they make. Remember Ted Gunderson talking about, you know, wanting to, having to interrogate a suspect and saying, hey, look, if that suspect is going to give us information in exchange for a little kid to have sex with, then we got to have somebody who can procure those little kids. | ||
| There's a lot of useful things you can do with underage children as an intelligence agent. | ||
| I'm sure Jeffrey Epstein was doing it all. | ||
| So, good job, Fox. | ||

Almost. You're close. You're watching The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | |
| Watch live right now at band.video. | ||
| Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Third hour of the American Journal has begun. | ||
| Infowars.com, band.video. | ||
| I'm very happy to welcome the man, the myth, the legend, Gavin McGinnis to the show. | ||
| Gavin is the host of Get Off My Lawn on Censored.tv and is one of the founding members of Vice way back when it was still cool and also profitable, by the way. | ||
| You can find his show, Get Off My Lawn, as well as many other amazing shows with guests that you've seen on this program, such as Devin Tracy, Jim Goad, and Josh LaCache. | ||
| Subscribe to Censored.tv. | ||
| That's Censored.tv. Welcome to the program, Gavis. | ||
| Thanks for coming on. Thanks for having me, my man. | ||
| I'm very happy to have you. | ||
| And I wanted to personally know, and I'm sure our audience does too, how are you feeling about the announcement that Vice will be filing for bankruptcy? | ||
| Are you happy? | ||
| Do you feel vindicated that they're going down? | ||
| Or do you feel sad that this thing you helped create is in its death throes? | ||
| How are you responding to this news? | ||
| You wouldn't believe how many people have asked me this in the past 24 hours, including my wife. | ||
|

|
It's not like they did go woke. | |
| And they did go broke, but it took 15 years. | ||
| So it's not like I left and everything collapsed, so I should be high-fiving. | ||
| They made hundreds of millions after I left. | ||
| So I don't think I can gloat here. | ||
| But I think the real problem with Vice is that Shane Smith was the CEO whisperer. | ||
| He was a genius. I don't know why he gave up his position. | ||
| Maybe he got paranoid during Me Too. | ||
| But he handed it over to a woman. | ||
| And she wasn't qualified. | ||
| She wasn't the CEO whisperer. | ||
| So from the top down now, we have this affirmative action female hire who doesn't have the same drive that Shane had. | ||
| I grew up with Shane. He would rather die than fail. | ||
| And then at the same time, I think they lost interest in sort of the magazine and other stuff. | ||
| And that started hiring affirmative action type of trannies and stuff. | ||
| And then eventually the top brass affirmative action, the bottom brass affirmative action, met in the middle. | ||
| And you had no qualified people who had any kind of skin in the game. | ||
| But, you know, getting woke and going broke is a thing, but it's also a pyramid scheme. | ||
| And if you can get in and get out fast enough, like Shane and Saroosh are still rich. | ||
| Well, yeah, I mean, they made hundreds of millions of dollars, but a lot of it was through just wholesale investment, just cash injections, right? | ||
| I mean, this thing only stayed afloat for as long as it did because of $400 million there, a billion dollars here being injected into it, not from an audience, you know, buying their product and then getting advertising, but just from like private investment firms injecting it with cash. | ||
| So, I mean, was their success to this point even real? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| But the beauty of Shane is he can do... | ||
| Remember that scam with water filters where you don't get the water filter. | ||
| You have the license to sell the water filters. | ||
| And then you sell that license to 10 other people. | ||
| And then they send... It's a pyramid scheme, right? | ||
| And eventually someone wants to check the books. | ||
| But governments do this all the time. | ||
| Banks do it. If you can just keep borrowing from the future and keep getting new people involved... | ||
| You never have your due diligence. | ||
| And I mean, I think I could maybe pull that off once and I would end up in jail a year later. | ||
| But Shane was able to pull it off for decades. | ||
| I mean, the guy was amazing. | ||
| So I think it's quite likely that the emperor never had any clothes and it was just bluffing the whole time. | ||
| It does kind of seem like that. | ||
| It seems a little bit like a Ponzi scheme. | ||
| But it says something also, right, that you've got this organization that gets injected with billions of dollars and is still now filing for bankruptcy. | ||
| I doubt Censor.TV. I know InfoWars hasn't had a billion dollars injected into it, and yet we're still thriving. | ||
| I mean, what explains that? You had a billion dollars injected out. | ||
| Right. Forcibly removed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. Yeah, yeah. | |
| What does that indicate? | ||
| It's strange. I think what happened was I was the heart and soul of it. | ||
| I wasn't great at music, so that was Sarusha's job, and Shane was business, and we all had our positions allocated. | ||
| And I think our generation, Gen X, salesmen were really frowned upon. | ||
| There's the used In the 50s, it was cool with Mad Men type stuff. | ||
| But for Gen X, it was always seen as tacky and bad. | ||
| I love it. I'm always impressed with that skill. | ||
| I don't have it. But I was always reverent towards sales guys. | ||
| Hold on, Gavin. I'm sorry. | ||
| We've got to go to break. We're going to pick it up with the history of Vice right where we left off on the other side. | ||
| One minute break. We'll be right back with Gavin McGinnis. | ||
| Welcome back, folks. We are on air with Gavin McGinnis. | ||
| Censored.tv is where you can find his show, Get Off My Lawn, as well as some of our favorite guests here, Devin Tracy, Jim Goad, Josh LaCash. | ||
| They all have shows on Censored.tv, and you get them all by signing up there. | ||
| And we're talking about Vice. | ||
| You know, Gavin, I was saying at the beginning of when we were first talking about this story, like, I remember Vice magazine in, like, high school. | ||
| It felt like you'd found some contraband. | ||
| It It felt like something that you weren't supposed to have. | ||
| You weren't supposed to be looking at. | ||
| And it was exciting and alternative and cool. | ||
| And then it got even better. | ||
| And now it's filing for bankruptcy. | ||
| So I had to cut you off. | ||
| So just to pick up where we were, you were sort of the artistic drive of all of this. | ||
| Right. And people think that Vice used to be, you know, left-wing and then I became this right-wing lunatic. | ||
| No, Vice was a right-wing lunatic. | ||
| It wasn't, you know, a conservative magazine, but it wasn't not right. | ||
| It wasn't not not right. | ||
| You know what I mean? Like, there'd be left-wing stuff in there, but we'd have a thing on skinheads and we would... | ||
| One time we did an interview and I dressed up like a skinhead and Shane dressed up like a soccer hooligan and Saroosh dressed up like he had been the victim of a hate crime. | ||
| We were always playing with those boundaries and post 9-11 we were especially patriotic and we did an issue called I Love Cops. | ||
| So it was always pushing the boundaries even within the hipster community but as I was saying earlier with the sales guys, They go, well, we want to do editorial. | ||
| That seems fun and cool. | ||
| So that's when I was out, and that was the end of the sort of pushing the boundaries edginess, and they started doing this sort of world news. | ||
| And I think Shane was pretty good at it at the beginning, but when you do something that isn't you, your heart's not in it, and eventually you lose enthusiasm, and you start letting everyone else get involved. | ||
| And when there's not, like, a captain of the ship who genuinely loves, you know, culture, then it just slowly fades away. | ||
| It does. It reminds me of like a rock and roll artist that sells out. | ||
| I mean, Vice Magazine sold out. | ||
| It was edgy. It was cool. | ||
| It was energetic. And then it sold out and became corporate. | ||
| And you can just see it like the aging rock star. | ||
| Just like his heart's not in it anymore. | ||
| He's just doing it to get the check. | ||
| I mean, it's emblematic, isn't it? | ||
| And say you're a rock star and you sell out when rock was good. | ||
| You know what I mean? Like, say, in the early 70s. | ||
| Alright, well, you're still riding this cool tidal wave and you're still rocking. | ||
| But they basically sold out to pop music in the 80s when pop music couldn't be worse. | ||
| So they became mainstream media right as mainstream media was dying, right? | ||
| It's like Huffington Post, CNN, they're all at death's door right now. | ||
| All these things that are flashing in the background are dying. | ||
| So it's a really bad time to go mainstream because the mainstream has been exposed as a shill for the government, the deep state. | ||
| The only place you get real stories is at Infowars and Censored.tv behind a paywall where we're talking about things no one else is talking about. | ||
| You know, it reminds me, you know, you pointing out that Vice was never sort of right or left. | ||
| You didn't change that much. | ||
| I mean, that reminds me of InfoWars. | ||
| And really, it was 2016 when I saw the big change. | ||
| Because here in Austin, Alex Jones was always hometown hero. | ||
| It was the alternative people, the weirdos, the people who didn't quite fit in but knew something was wrong. | ||
| I mean, I used to go to a coffee shop near my house. | ||
| There'd be a stack of InfoWars magazines, and they'd be gone the next day because people would come in and take them out. | ||
| I mean... It was never considered right-wing or, you know, the typical conservative style. | ||
| And yet all that's changed in the last couple years where these alternative outlets have been branded with, like, fascist. | ||
| And we've had to contend with that as well. | ||
| So, I mean, this is a thing that's happened with a lot of alternative news. | ||
| Dude, if 2004 Vice was around today, then modern Vice would be attacking it as racist, sexist, transphobic. | ||
| 2023 Vice would absolutely despise 2004 Vice. | ||
| And that's sad, because 2004 Vice was way better. | ||
| A little bit of jealousy maybe in there. | ||
| But again, expanding out, zooming out, as you pointed out, this is really in line with what we're seeing across the board. | ||
| BuzzFeed is going down. | ||
| I mean, it's gone at this point, right? | ||
| Vice News, this is happening as well. | ||
| Even the shakeups with like Tucker Carlson being fired. | ||
| I mean, what is happening in the media landscape right now? | ||
| It's a great time to be a curious journalist like Glenn Greenwald or Matt Taibbi or Turtle Boy. | ||
| It's a great time to be an old-fashioned hit-the-street reporter because journalists have never been lazier. | ||
| They just Google stuff and repeat what someone else said. | ||
| And it's because a lot of them, their heart is not in it. | ||
| They're just there because they think it's a cool thing to do. | ||
| But it really is a great time to want to do reporting because there's so many stories out there that are being ignored, like the voting machines. | ||
| Tucker sort of. | ||
| He didn't even question the voting machines. | ||
| He allowed someone who questions the voting machines on his show, and now the number one news show in the world canceled. | ||
| You're not allowed to question that. | ||
| What a great time to be looking into stuff, because you're not allowed to. | ||
| You know, it's... | ||
| My dad keeps telling me, he's like, you know, your show is just going to get bigger and bigger. | ||
| Now that Tucker Carlson's not on air, as we, you know, ramp up to the election, he's like, you better be on your A-game because, you know, people are looking for the truth and they can't find it anywhere else. | ||
| So, I mean... But I'm not happy that this is happening. | ||
| I want a robust, powerful media to hold our government to account. | ||
| I don't want it to only be Infowars and Censored.tv that are holding down the fort for the truth where everybody else is totally bought and paid for. | ||
| So, I mean, are you happy that maybe this is opening up for people like us to actually tell the truth and knowing that more people are coming over to our side? | ||
| How do you feel about this? | ||
| Are you sad like I am that media is just dying as a whole? | ||
| What did Mao say? | ||
| Let a thousand flowers bloom? | ||
| I want a thousand flowers to bloom. | ||
| That's the foundation of this country. | ||
| When the East Coast was founded by England and they started becoming more independent right before the revolution, Britain said We want political newspapers in every town, but I want a right one and a left one. | ||
| I want you guys constantly debating back and forth. | ||
| And then that debating got America so smart that they said, why is Britain even involved? | ||
| Let's just kick them out and start our own country. | ||
| It's a powerful thing to debate back and forth. | ||
| But somewhere down the line, the left said, don't debate. | ||
| It gives Nazis a platform. | ||
| And we all became drastically dumber when that trend began. | ||
| So I don't like the divorce. | ||
| I don't like the fact that it's dinosaur garbage media that no one takes seriously, and then these outlaws that you have to dig to find. | ||
| That's not a good scenario. | ||
| But as one of the outlaws, I mean, it's good for business, I guess. | ||
| I don't know. I want us all arguing again. | ||
| Yeah, I do too. And I want there to be things like The Vice I Remember, where it was just like dudes going to Pakistan and buying illegal guns. | ||
| I mean, it was just cool investigative reporting that actually had geopolitical purpose. | ||
| And we were saying during the break, now is the time that we need something like that. | ||
| We need on-the-ground independent reporters that are well-funded and backed by big media organizations like Vice once was. | ||
| I mean, there is still a place for that type of material. | ||
| It's just being shut down at this point. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. Yeah. | |
| I mean, to be honest, I've never really given a crap about the non-Western world. | ||
| Pakistan, Africa, Russia, China. | ||
| God should just sink them into the sea. | ||
| They don't matter to me. | ||
| I'm yawning every time I hear about an international affair. | ||
| But I guess when it comes on our doorstep, though, it becomes problematic. | ||
| Here's something you'd love here on mainstream media. | ||
| I heard this on, I think it was Glenn Beck's podcast. | ||
| We just gave a billion dollars to China to fight climate change. | ||
| Like, that should be the front page of every newspaper in the country. | ||
| What the hell is going on? | ||
| But no one goes near it. | ||
| They don't want to insult China because that's bad for their investors. | ||
| And it is all about the investors. | ||
| Again, I was just looking over, I mean, just the litany of investments that Vice got over just the last few years. | ||
| I mean, it's upwards of 5.7%. | ||
| $5.7 billion is what it was worth all the way back in 2017. | ||
| How do you lose $5.7 billion in five years? | ||
| I literally don't know how you spend a billion dollars a year at a media outlet. | ||
| I guess that's what they did, though? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well... But what if it's not there? | |
| Like, there's investment with cash that you can hold, and then there's evaluations where you're worth this and worth that. | ||
| And you tell this guy that this car is worth a billion dollars, and then that next person goes, oh, that's a billion-dollar car? | ||
| Well, I want to invest in it. | ||
| I want to put another... Okay, now it's a $1.5 billion car. | ||
| It's still the same car. | ||
| There's been no money exchanged, but it's just these evaluations keep going up and up and up until the bubble has to burst at some point. | ||
| And the fact that they were able to delay the bubble bursting for 15 years That's the story. | ||
| Like, the economics of that. | ||
| That's what deserves the research. | ||
| But no journalist is going to go through that. | ||
| And no journalist has the connections to see the, you know, the back end. | ||
| Because journalists don't have connections anymore. | ||
| That's another thing, by the way, about all this Googling. | ||
| You don't develop relationships. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's very true. We'll pick it up there on the other side. | |
| We've got to go to break. We'll be back with one more segment with Gavin McGinnis, Censored.tv. | ||
| We're back with Gavin McGinnis talking about the downfall of Vice Media. | ||
| It follows the shuttering of BuzzFeed. | ||
| vice last week announced they were ending their nightly news show and now it looks like they will soon be filing for bankruptcy and possibly closing their doors for good apparently there are five entities that are still bidding for it and and may pay to keep it alive gavin is one of them you is there any chance that you buy vice media we we complete the circle and you're back on top advice | ||
| god if i if i was to buy vice i would just fire all of these pathetic woke purple haired losers that kill businesses that They start out saying we're going to be open-minded. | ||
| They hire some trans person. | ||
| Then the trans people say they want to form a union. | ||
| Then they go on strike. | ||
| Then they want the company to pay for their sex changes, which are like $150,000. | ||
| And they're all mentally ill. | ||
| They're terrible at journalism. | ||
| And they destroy companies. | ||
| You know, the far left are locusts. | ||
| They ruin businesses. | ||
| They ruin towns. They ruin communities. | ||
| They ruin scenes. And they ruin vice. | ||
| And you know, the news media is one thing, and we'll get back because you were making a point about, you know, just the lack of real reporters these days and how the media isn't doing its job in any regard. | ||
| But isn't this, isn't it across the media landscape? | ||
| I mean, there's a writer's strike going on now. | ||
| I can't think of a single TV show or movie in the last three years that I would want to re-watch or watch again. | ||
| I mean, everything is just crap at this point. | ||
| Entertainment, news media, it's all terrible for exactly the reasons you laid out. | ||
| We're out of ideas. | ||
| The thing we were talking about earlier is connections. | ||
| The modern journalists are elitists. | ||
| Same with Hollywood and everything. | ||
| And the problem with elitism, besides the obvious aesthetic annoyance, is you don't know people. | ||
| Glenn Beck, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, he's an exception to the rule of mainstream media not knowing what it's doing, by the way. | ||
| But those guys, they get calls in the middle of the night from some Green Beret or some CIA whistleblower that goes, this is going to come out soon, but blah, blah, blah is going on, and we blew up the pipeline and all this other stuff. | ||
| So when you see guys with connections have theories like that, Alex, Tucker, Glenn... | ||
| They're talking from experience. | ||
| They know what they're saying isn't a theory. | ||
| It's actually true. Other journalists, they don't get those calls because no one trusts them because they're pussies. | ||
| They're losers. So they're not in touch with what's going on in American society. | ||
| And in the old days, you'd have the guy with the fedora, the press thing. | ||
| Cops would meet him at the bar and they'd hand him a little ticket and tell him some secret. | ||
| You've got to know people to be able to tell what's going on. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. Look at, you know, Dark Alliance. | ||
| Gary Webb, right, exposed that. | ||
| I mean, that all came from, you know, just a phone call one day. | ||
| I mean, that's exactly how it worked. | ||
| Literally, there's a reporter sitting in his office, takes a phone call. | ||
| They go, I think I have a story you might be interested in. | ||
| And it starts off as some small court case that he starts digging in and realizing, oh, there's a lot here. | ||
| I mean, will there ever be another, you know, Dark Alliance where he exposes the Iran-Contra affair and there's actually political movements against it? | ||
| Quite literally, without exaggeration, just a repeating station for the intelligence agencies. | ||
| The intelligence agencies say, here's what we want the American people to know, and the media companies go, yes sir, and they repeat it verbatim with no investigation. | ||
| I mean, are we ever going to have that real investigative journalist person employed in America again? | ||
| Yeah, like you see these compilations where the media will grab onto a word like collusion, and it's a word no one really used before, and then you hear it on 70 shows in a row like that day, because the DNC released it as a talking point. | ||
| I don't think anyone with an IQ over 100 takes mainstream media seriously anymore. | ||
| I think I saw data recently that said over 60% of Americans don't trust the mainstream media at all. | ||
| I mean, that's pathetic. | ||
| And that's where we're at, because they're incurious. | ||
| Their heart's not in it, which is, again, why Vice died. | ||
| I think that the people who were in charge, their heart wasn't in the culture, and that can't last forever. | ||
| Yeah, it really is a sad thing. | ||
| I mean, what is the purpose of having a free press if they're going to enslave themselves, right? | ||
| I mean, what's the point of being free if you're just going to sit on your butt all day and watch TV, right? | ||
| If you're not going to use your freedom that you have, you're going to lose it, and I think that's what we're experiencing across the board. | ||
| But pre-social media, when I was into punk rock, we had this zine, Maximum Rock and Roll, and we'd be creating cassette tapes with some guy in Utrecht and another guy in Bristol. | ||
| So when there's a will, there's a way. | ||
| If you're curious and enthusiastic, you're still going to get the truth. | ||
| You just have to come and find guys like us to see what's going on. | ||
| You know, it feels like we could talk so much more about all of this. | ||
| I know you have to go. You're very busy, and we'll tell people where to find you and everything. | ||
| But it's like, I just want to know what we can do to regain, like, interest from the right wing. | ||
| It's like we're saddled with, like, Mitch McConnell as an albatross around our necks. | ||
| Like, we're trying to get things done. | ||
| We're trying to be, like... | ||
| Trying to forge a path ahead, but we're stuck with the Republican Party that's just the old-school fuddy-duddy, and they give the left media all the ammo they want to paint all conservatives as these stuck-up loser weirdos. | ||
| And I just want to know how we get the culture back to something cool and alternative that Vice used to represent. | ||
| Comedy. Satire. | ||
| Mocking them. When Joe has a blunder, enjoy it. | ||
| You'll go insane. | ||
| This is why cops are so funny, because they see such horrible things, but they get through it by laughing and making jokes about the horror before them. | ||
| That's what we have to do, is enjoy clown world. | ||
| I mean, people are entertained by clowns, right? | ||
| You pay to go to the circus. | ||
| So we have to keep fighting, but we also have to enjoy it and mock it. | ||
| And when you... When you mock it, young people see that you're having fun and laughing and they see that you're on the fun side and you're not the drama queen side. | ||
| Then they want to get involved. | ||
| And when you have young people, your movement is set. | ||
| I mean, without youth, you're nothing. | ||
| Absolutely. And now they have people thinking it's cool to be like scolds, to be the teacher's pet, and I find it incredibly disgusting. | ||
| We could go on and on about this, and we should. | ||
| And I'm ashamed that we haven't had you on this show before. | ||
| That is a severe oversight on my part. | ||
| I'm furious. So we'll have to have you on again. | ||
| Sensor.tv is where they can find you. | ||
| Get Off My Lawn is the show that you do, and it is very funny. | ||
| I mean, talk about comedy. You know, it's one of the funniest shows on the internet right now, in my opinion. | ||
| How else can people find you and follow you, Gavin? | ||
| So go to censored.tv. | ||
| We've got a promo code ONEMONTH. That's all one word. | ||
| And that'll get you a month for free. | ||
| Try it out. Dip your toes in it. | ||
| But it's the only way to enjoy clown world is to laugh at it. | ||
| And you'll feel sane when you watch this show. | ||
| Because when you read the paper and you walk down the street, you think, Idiocracy and the book 1984 had a baby. | ||
| That's right. I call it the dystopian smorgasbord. | ||
| It's like they've gone through and picked all of the most insane parts of all the dystopian novels, and that's on our plate now. | ||
| It's just the worst of absolutely everything. | ||
| What's that? Yeah. Who knew that horrific could be so ridiculous? | ||
| Yeah. Hey, I like watching clowns as much as the next person. | ||
| I just don't like being governed by them as our world is destroyed. | ||
| Yeah. But there you go. | ||
| That's funny. Gavin McGinnis, censored.tv. | ||
| The promo code is one month, all one word. | ||
| And again, Devin Tracy, Jim Goad, Josh Lekich-Lekash. | ||
| I refuse to learn how to say his last name, but all those shows are available on there as well. | ||
| Thank you so much for joining us today, Gavin. | ||
| Thanks for having me, man. My pleasure. | ||
| And my pleasure as well watching Vice go down in flames despite the hundreds of millions of dollars pumped into that sinking ship over the last several years. | ||
| Folks, we're going to close out the hour with more news, more videos, and your phone calls on the other side. | ||
| Don't go anywhere. Ban.video. | ||
| Infowars.com. Share these links. | ||
| We'll be right back. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to the front lines of the information war. | ||
| I'm going to open up the phone lines right now. | ||
| I'll take your calls this segment and the next segment. | ||
| So first come, first serve. | ||
| We'll just go down the line as they come in. | ||
| The number to dial is 1-877-789-2539. | ||
| If you have comments about Black Cleopatra or wars in the Middle East or war over Taiwan and John Bolton or Vice News collapsing or what we need to do as... | ||
| Americans to reclaim our culture from the parasites that are infesting this country right now in the most literal way, right? | ||
| Just bloodsuckers leaving us a husk. | ||
| Anything you want to talk about, give us a call. | ||
| 1-877-789-2539. | ||
| We'll go to your calls just as they come in. | ||
| I have a bit of a feeling right now with some of the goings on at the national level. | ||
| Like... Like I'm standing outside of my house that is just burned to its foundation. | ||
| It's just a pile of ash at this point. | ||
| And despite the fact that I've been calling 911 and sounding the alarm and trying desperately... | ||
| To get somebody to help put out the fire, now that the house has burned down and collapsed, here comes the fire truck. | ||
| That's how I feel a little bit with this headline. | ||
| Toxic trail of pollution states step up to curb the use of forever chemicals. | ||
| Am I happy to see the fire truck? | ||
| Sure. I guess. It's nice to know somebody's doing something about it. | ||
| Is it way too late at this point? | ||
| Yeah, it probably is. | ||
| It probably is. Because for the past several decades... | ||
| The wild-eyed, crazy conspiracy theorists at places like Infowars have been warning about forever chemicals, have been begging people to care about the flames destroying their homes, about the chemical runoff in the water. | ||
| What happened? We were mocked. | ||
| We were ignored. | ||
| We were called conspiracy theorists or homophobic for pointing out some of this stuff, pointing out how it affects your hormones, how it can alter your sexuality. | ||
| And of course this is across the board, whether it's mercury in the vaccines or pesticides such as atrazine in the runoff from factory farms or just the proliferation of PFAs, these forever chemicals, we have been sounding the alarm and being ignored for so long that now that they're actually coming around and doing something about it, I can't even like Be excited. | ||
| It's not like, oh, finally, now they're doing something. | ||
| It's like, oh, really? Because the house is ash now, so I'm glad you're here. | ||
| It's a very nice firetruck you have, but sure would have liked you to pick up the phone when I was calling a year or two ago. | ||
| Toxic trail of pollution. | ||
| Few chemicals have attracted as intense public and regulatory scrutiny as PFAs. | ||
| Even as the highly toxic and ubiquitous compounds dangers come into sharper focus, industry influence has crippled congressional attempts to pass meaningful consumer protections. | ||
| Federal bills designed to address some of the most significant sources of exposure, food packaging, cosmetics, personal care products, clothing, textiles, cookware, and firefighting foam have all failed in recent sessions. | ||
| And the thing you need to take away from this is they are not going to stop this. | ||
| I mean, maybe 10 years from now, we'll be able to look around and go, gee, aren't we glad that everything comes in glass bottles now? | ||
| Like maybe, you know, that change will be made, but it's not going to happen anytime soon. | ||
| The point you need to take away from this is nobody's going to be protecting you from chemicals that damage your health, your body, your mind, other than you. | ||
| You can avoid PFAs to a very large extent. | ||
| I mean, at this point, They're to be found in fresh fallen snow and on the continent of Antarctica. | ||
| Which I have been assured by people in the know doesn't actually exist and is in fact an ice wall. | ||
| But regardless, you can't avoid it outright, but you can take steps to mitigate your exposure and your children's exposure. | ||
| And InfoWars has, of course, forever provided you a wonderful way to do just that in the air and water filters that we sell at InfoWarsStore.com. | ||
| So go get your hands on some of the Alexa Pure filters, the Alexa Pure Breeze or the Alexa Pure water filters that can do an amazing job of getting all sorts of contaminants out of your tap water. | ||
| Some that are there by accident, some that are put there on purpose for various reasons. | ||
| Regardless, if you want to drink pure, fresh, good, clean water, then you really have to be using a filter and we provide the best on the market at an extremely reasonable price. | ||
| And of course, this is really kind of how Alex Jones got started. | ||
| I mean, it was DVDs first and then it was water filters because what's the point of complaining about these problems if you aren't giving individuals and people and families ways to counteract it, not just on the political level because we, of course, always, you know, encourage people to get involved, get, you know, Get elected into some position. | ||
| Use whatever political or economic power that you have to make a change on a wider civilizational scale. | ||
| But in the meantime, protect yourself and protect your family from the poisons that are, again, some purposefully, some just by accident, imbued into all of your food and all of your water. | ||
| Just don't buy things that... | ||
| Are in plastic packaging, or if you have to, get them out as soon as possible. | ||
| You know, take steps and take measures to prevent this poisoning because, as we've known forever and that the mainstream media is finally starting to acknowledge the damage that this stuff has to you and the environment around you is really... | ||
| Hard to overstate. | ||
| So go to InfoWarsStore.com right now and get your hand on air and water filters. | ||
| They're on sale and you will wonder how you ever lived without them as soon as you have them. | ||
| I've told the story many times. The air filter is like, it's a revelation. | ||
| Man, I notice when it's off. | ||
| It's like you walk into a room, you're like, it's kind of stuffy. | ||
| What's going on? The Alexapira breeze got turned off. | ||
| Somebody's been playing with the buttons again. | ||
| You really will notice the difference, just like you'll notice the difference with all of our supplements. | ||
| Infowarstore.com, that's the way you support us. | ||
| It's the best way to support us. | ||
| The other way to do it is, as we've mentioned, we are starting to retake the social media landscape. | ||
| Honestly, for a while, it's just been not worth it. | ||
| It's like they kicked us off social media. | ||
| We did everything we could to, like, circumvent, and they just cut us off at the past. | ||
| They ban our accounts, and it was just like at a certain point, we're just like, yeah, we're making our own. | ||
| Screw your platform. | ||
| We're making our own platform. | ||
| It's called ban.video. | ||
| We're going to do everything over there. | ||
| It's going to be cooler than yours. | ||
| And we did that, and that's incredible. | ||
| And share those links, of course. | ||
| Download the videos yourself. | ||
| Send your friends and family there. | ||
| Tell them the information that you find there. | ||
| All fantastic. | ||
| But at American Journal, we're starting to initiate the reconquista. | ||
| And so we've... | ||
| We've launched a program. We'll be releasing little shortcuts of our show on Instagram at Harrison Hill Smith and on TikTok, Harrison Hill Smith, and on Twitter, Harrison H. Smith. | ||
| So please do share those around. | ||
| We really want these to get as many views as humanly possible in order to bring more people in to the InfoWars fold because as much as I love you people, I want more of you. | ||
| I want there to be a greater and larger choir, not just the choir that I'm With that, we go out to your phone calls. | ||
| Let's go to Stephen in Florida, first through the gate. | ||
| You're on the air, Stephen. Hey, good morning, Harrison. | ||
| Thank you for taking my call. | ||
| Sure. Okay, so a couple things I wanted to hit on. | ||
| First of all, plug, you were just talking about the importance of water filtration. | ||
| I, after being involved in an accident and getting a settlement, I was able to buy the Alexa Pure water filtration system back in 2016. | ||
| That thing has paid for itself multiple times over. | ||
| I got it through InfoWars, and at the time it was on sale for $180. | ||
| With the filter, the additional filter I bought, it was $230 total. | ||
| Now, you look at the price for that, it's like at least $100 more for all that. | ||
| That's been a real blessing and I'm so thankful Alex Jones put that out there and has made people aware of the issue with fluoride in the water. | ||
| Now, that brings me to why I called in. | ||
| Hold on. I want to give you time to get into your point, Stephen. | ||
| I do appreciate the plug. | ||
| So we're going to go to commercial break here and come back with Stephen and Robert and John and Jeremy and John and Jay. | ||
| We're going to get to all these guys and more. | ||
| Close out the show with as many of your phone calls as we can get to. | ||
| Don't go anywhere, folks. It's the American Journal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's the American Journal. Now is the time, folks. | |
| You got to strike while the iron is hot. | ||
| Late night talk shows shut down as Writers Guild strikes. | ||
| Make American Journal a late night show and I just go full comedy. | ||
| I say we do it right now. | ||
| Now's the time. What are people going to do without their fill of Jimmy Fallon every night? | ||
| Do people even still watch this crap? | ||
| Maybe this whole writer's strike is just a trick to make people think that the failure of Hollywood is a union dispute rather than just what it is, which is they suck at everything and nobody watches them anymore. | ||
| Out to your phone calls. | ||
| We're going to get to as many as possible here in this final segment of American Journal, Infowarsstore.com, where you go to support us. | ||
| Stephen from Florida used his time last segment to give us a very nice plug for the Alexa Pure water filtration system. | ||
| Which will change your life and is on discount right now at Infowarsstore.com. | ||
| So I wanted to give Stephen time to make his actual point. | ||
| Stephen, thank you for that plug. | ||
| You are back on the air. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
| And so just a couple of quick sources of information for you guys to check out. | ||
| First of all, Dr. Edward Group, excellent documentary on YouTube, Fluoride Poison on Tap. | ||
| Go watch that. It's about an hour and a half long. | ||
| Also, if you want to get a good picture of the Ukraine-Russia situation on Rumble, inside Russia's denazification of Ukraine, couple that with the report that Hal Turner has out now on HalTurnerRadioShow.com. | ||
| This was from two days ago, showing what Russia is now doing, and it's what they said in that documentary about Russia's denazification and Putin said, we have not yet shown our best in response to the U.S. and NATO. We're going to get clobbered when you look at what they're doing now in Ukraine. | ||
| By the way, we're now sending fighter jets out of Germany and Poland into Ukraine. | ||
| The other thing I want to mention is this. | ||
| David Whitehead, whom... | ||
| Mike Adams interviewed. | ||
| He's done a bombshell documentary. | ||
| Go to cultofthemedics.com. | ||
| It's nine parts. And he shows the history of where modern medicine comes from. | ||
| And it goes back to the Knights Templar, Knights of Malta, the Hospitallers, and using potions, pharmakeia, and intelligentsia To overthrow nations and to kill people. | ||
| Does that sound familiar? Yeah, very interesting. | ||
| I'm sure he gets into the Rockefeller redesign of medicine into a profitable industry. | ||
| Thank you very much. I hope people were taking notes there. | ||
| I know I was. Thank you for that, Stephen. | ||
| I do want to mention, since I didn't bring it up, the Ukraine conflict, sort of the latest thing that's happened. | ||
| Of course, we reported yesterday on the Russian airstrikes across the country. | ||
| One of the things that's coming out now is apparently billions of dollars of equipment and ammunition that we'd given to Ukraine was all being stored in like giant caches where the Russians knew where they were. | ||
| They were not adequately defended. | ||
| And just probably billions of dollars worth of equipment has gone up in smoke as the Russians, the Ukrainians were making a lot of noise about we're about to start our new offensive. | ||
| And so the Russians just went in and bombed all of the weapons and ammunition caches and basically obliterated so much of what we've sent to Ukraine. | ||
| So I'm sure old Joe is reaching for the checkbook right now to... | ||
| To do it all over again. | ||
| But that's the latest out of Russia and Ukraine is that Russia essentially obliterated a huge number of stores that we'd sent to Ukraine of weapons and ammunition. | ||
| So well done, Ukraine. | ||
| Just leave them out in the open, will ya? | ||
| It's great. It's great stuff. | ||
| Let's go now to John in Michigan. | ||
| You say Hollywood is out of stories. | ||
| Go ahead, John. I want to hear your thoughts on this. | ||
|

|
Yeah, well, I called in before. | |
| A little while back, I was talking about how I thought InfoWars needed to come up with your own entertainment wing. | ||
| You guys should clean up with the amount of bogus stories that are coming out of Hollywood. | ||
| But I'm also going to be a little selfish. | ||
| I'm going to plug myself. And I have already sent my story to your guys there at, what is it? | ||
| Writers at InfoWars.com or something to that effect. | ||
| A story that's Something that I think a lot of people are craving nowadays. | ||
| Something that Hollywood is never going to put out and got a large bent on the conspiracy research realm. | ||
| Got a character in there that is based off of Alex Jones. | ||
| And a lot of the guys there at InfoWars that I've listened to for the past, what, 15, 20 years? | ||
| So is this a piece of fiction? | ||
| Is it a short story? Fiction. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, fiction. I mean, it's fiction, but it's... | |
| Based on real life. Got a lot of historical... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool. | |
| Exactly. And I think that that's something that a lot of people need to start doing, especially a lot of InfoWars listeners. | ||
| Yeah. A lot of people want to write books, so do it. | ||
| Stop messing around. Get it done. | ||
| Absolutely. I don't know if you want me to do this or not, but if you could go to theweaponbook.com and check it out. | ||
| And for you specifically, because you guys are all so nice there, really. | ||
| I mean, you, Alex, every time I've called in, even the screeners, you guys have the best screeners. | ||
| You guys are all so very, very nice. | ||
| So I appreciate you guys very much. | ||
| But check it out. | ||
| I'll put it... Brie Harrison, for you to check out the story. | ||
| I'm going to send a couple chapters so that you can read it and see what you like. | ||
| Alright, great. We always like supporting our audience. | ||
| I do want to get to one more call, John, so I appreciate it, but give us that website one more time. | ||

TheWeaponBook.com TheWeaponBook.com Like theweaponbook.com. | |
| Okay, thank you very much. Yeah, heck, we want our audience out there, you know, making content that we can share, so that's fantastic stuff, and maybe we need to double down on that. | ||
| I was doing that a lot at the beginning of last year, bringing on a lot of artists and alternative people, talking a lot more about Hollywood and stuff. | ||
| It's just... It's just such trash. | ||
| There's more important stuff to talk about than how they're destroying Lord of the Rings again or how they're remaking Harry Potter again. | ||
| But it is important because your cultural output is your art. | ||
| It's your culture's Mark on the world. | ||
| And the mark on the world we're making right now is digging through the trash and finding stuff that used to be popular and then slapping blackface on it and acting like we did something brave. | ||
| It's bad. | ||
| It's bad, everything going on right now. | ||
| And I'm telling you, I would love if... | ||
| If we could get one of those $400 million injections like Vice Media got, we could go out and make feature length movies. | ||
| I know like the Daily Wire and stuff is doing it, but they don't get it. | ||
| They don't have the vision. They're making like movies that are explicitly political, that are like about somebody defending the border. | ||
| And it's like, that's not what we need. | ||
| What we need is just entertaining, creative, compelling stories that have buried in them the lessons that we want to teach our kids and that sort of stuff. | ||
| I mean that's how the left did it. | ||
| The left didn't do it by making explicitly left-wing content. | ||
| They make normal content that's just saturated with their leftist ideology. | ||
| And that's what we need because leftist ideology is – it's evil. | ||
| It's like they can't write good stories because they literally don't understand the heroic nature. | ||
| They don't understand heroic spirit. | ||
| So, like, all of their heroes are just, like, annoying, busybody girl bosses. | ||
| And it's like nobody... | ||
| It doesn't resonate with anybody because it's inhuman. | ||
| It doesn't actually... | ||
| It doesn't actually... | ||
| We can do it. | ||
| We absolutely could. | ||
| We rely on you folks out there to be on the forefront of that aspect of the information war. | ||
| Be out there creating, and we'd love to share your creations. | ||
| Let's go now, finally, to Jay in Kentucky. | ||
| You want to talk about the Jesse Waters clip we played just a few minutes ago? | ||
| Jay, Kentucky, you're on the air. | ||
| How you doing? Good. Congratulations. | ||
| Thank you. I'm wondering if maybe that Jesse and Tucker might be pretty tight because Jesse's often been on there a lot like Tucker, and I'm wondering if maybe he might be giving some of his material to him and putting it on the air. | ||
| And I'm going home. | ||
| I'm a truck driver. I'm looking forward to getting the turbo force big time. | ||
| And that string that goes around the Jewish community yesterday you were talking about, that's basically just because it's a community and it allows people on Shabbos or Saturday to walk within the community and or push their child's baby carriage and stuff like that. | ||
| After that guy called in, I looked it up and I don't know. | ||
| It seems to me like one of those things where it's like they're trying to trick God somehow. | ||
| It's very weird. It's like, well, technically I didn't violate this habit. | ||
| It's like, really? You're going to get God on technicality? | ||
| I don't know. Christians do the same thing, too, where it's like, well, technically I didn't sin. | ||
| It's like, but you did, though. | ||
| But actually, yeah, I don't think you can trick God. | ||
| It's kind of a strange thing. | ||
| Yeah, I looked that up and... | ||
| Anyway, didn't find anything worth covering about it. | ||
| But thank you very much for that call, Jay. | ||
| It's an interesting thought about Jesse Waters. | ||
| I mean, I know Jesse Waters, I actually like a little bit more. | ||
| I don't like him as much as Tucker. | ||
| But I know, you know, he got started on Bill O'Reilly's show doing the on the street stuff. | ||
| That in a lot of ways set the tone for how a lot of people in our sphere got started in 2016, being on the street, sort of talking to dumb liberals. | ||
| I mean, Jesse Waters is really at the forefront of that. | ||
| So it's interesting stuff. Thanks for being with us, folks. | ||
