| Just when I thought the dystopia couldn't get any more farcical, just when I thought I was out, they'd pull me back in. | ||
| In deep state central Washington DC, Pride attendees marched triumphantly behind the banner of what no one can deny symbolises the ultimate emblem of organic grassroots resistance. | ||
| Lockheed Martin! Because nothing says marginalised and underrepresented like being sponsored by the world's largest defence contractor. | ||
| Net worth $117 billion. | ||
| We're endorsed by a company that sells weapons to dictatorships like Saudi Arabia so it can bomb kids in Yemen. | ||
| It's getting really difficult to satirise all this. | ||
| We've reached the point where South Park is basically obsolete. | ||
| We're CIA. We're gay. | ||
| Get used to it. This month, we're proud of not only the gay agents that helped us coup and murder heads of state, but also the gay agents that helped us ferment dissent and make the coup sound like organic discontent among the populists in societies with regimes we dislike. | ||
| Slay! You know for sure that hashtag love wins when the Air Force Global Strike Command amplifies your message. | ||
| Meanwhile, wholesome family-friendly entertainment month continues nationwide. | ||

Oh, I know, I know. | |
| I'm the snowflake for being triggered by rainbows. | ||
| What's going on about that? Me trying to live my life, LGBT propaganda. | ||
| Why is the right so obsessed about LGBTQ? They bring it into everything. | ||
| Yeah, you're weird for being fixated on flags. | ||
| Say the same people responsible for this. | ||
| What does it mean when my nation places a new flag in a position of primacy on the building that houses the president? | ||
| You might be saying to yourself, obviously means they're marginalized and underrepresented. | ||
| Because nothing says institutionalized discrimination Like the most powerful country in the world making their own flag subservient to yours. | ||
| Just celebrate pride. | ||
| It doesn't cost you anything. But the bigoted backlash continues. | ||
| So we're seeing that now where we never saw that before. | ||
| Where people are going, enough! | ||
| Right. Enough! Stop shoving this down everybody's throat. | ||
| When I go to Target, I don't want to see, like... | ||
| Yeah, tuck pants. | ||
| They're designed to help you tuck your d**k. | ||
| Like, hey, that's not normal. | ||
| At a high school in California, of all places, students in a math class, which turned into a struggle session, were shown a Pride Month video. | ||
| they didn't produce, let's say, the proper reaction. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh! | |
| Stop! | ||
| Hello. | ||
| Wow, Miss Chloe. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Why are you showing up to kids? | ||
| Based Zoomers, but for disrespecting the alphabet people, they will be punished. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, I'll warn you guys now, if you're going to be inappropriate, I will have supervision down and give all of you a Saturday school for next year. | |
| So knock it off. Strange, isn't it, how the more everything is festooned with occupation flags, the more people begin to resent and question the whole thing. | ||
| Meanwhile, Joe Biden surprised some by announcing that trans jesters would be allowed to serve in the U.S. military. | ||
| He also keeps bizarrely claiming that gay people are being kicked out of restaurants. | ||
| Au contraire. | ||
| The literal opposite is happening. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm very surprised to find out that a restaurant wouldn't serve our organization. | |
| The restaurant nicks the foundation's reservations, saying in part that the Family Foundation seeks to deprive women and those in the LGBT community of basic human rights. | ||
| People are being arrested at pride marches for reading Bible passages within seconds. | ||
| God! | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's not... | |
| You're crying! | ||
| Happy Pride Month! | ||
| Oh, yeah, but you're totally the ones being discriminated against. | ||
| In California, the same Senator Scott Weiner, who suggested offering Drag Queen 101 as part of the K-12 curriculum, is now busy getting a bill passed that would brand parents who refuse to recognize the transgender identity of their own children as abusive if they're deemed to be anti-LGBTQ. All right, folks, just the latest little compilation from Paul Joseph Watson. | ||
| Find and share it now at band.video. | ||
| It's titled, If Only... | ||
| If you only knew, if you only knew, jumping from the absurd to the horrifying and back again. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just incredible. | |
| We're going to move on from the gay stuff, though. | ||
| It's going to be a lot of politics. | ||
| You know, Washington, D.C. gay stuff. | ||
|

|
It's Tuesday, June 13th, 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. | ||
| All right, good morning, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Welcome to the show. | ||
| It's Arraignment Day. | ||
| Very exciting stuff. | ||
| We have a lot of stuff to get into. | ||
| We'll be joined by Jamie from Dash later in the show. | ||
| He, of course, made his first public appearance here on American Journal a couple months ago following his bombshell reporting of the homeless camps in Austin, Texas. | ||
| Since then, the stories that he has covered and the visuals that he's captured have become international news being covered by newspapers all over America. | ||
| This country by Fox News. | ||
| I believe he's featured on Jesse Waters as well as being reported by places like the Daily Mail. | ||
| So he's absolutely blown up and doing what we would like to inspire more people to do, simply going out and capturing on-the-ground stories in his locality. | ||
| That then become major international news and hopefully forces some public change. | ||
| Really incredible stuff. So very excited to talk to him in the third hour. | ||
| Your calls throughout the second hour will cover a bunch of major political bombshells here in the first hour. | ||
| Let's just get into it. | ||
| Here it is, your daily dispatch. | ||
| All right, here it is, folks, your daily dispatch for Tuesday, the 13th of June, 2023. | ||
| 3. | ||
| Senator Chuck Grassley has come out with a bombshell update to the hidden, classified, supposedly actually not classified, but secretly obscured from the Congress by the FBI, documents about the Biden corruption. | ||
| The headline at Fox News is this, Grassley, Burisma executives who allegedly paid Biden has audio recordings of conversations with Joe and Hunter. | ||
| Biden was allegedly paid $5 million by a high-level Burisma executive as part of a bribery scheme. | ||
| Just part, by the way. | ||
| That wasn't the full bribery. We'll get into it. | ||
| Senator Chuck Grassley said Monday that the Burisma executive, who allegedly paid Joe Biden and Hunter Biden, kept 17 audio recordings of his conversation with them as a, quote, insurance policy, citing the FBI's FD-1023 form that the Bureau briefed congressional lawmakers on. | ||
| Grassley of Ohio revealed on the Senate floor Monday was said to be redacted reference in the FBI-generated FD-1023 form, alleging a criminal bribery scheme between then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national that involved influence over U.S. policy decisions. | ||
| The FBI's interview with a highly credible confidential source that detailed multiple meetings and conversations he or she had with a top reasonable executive over the course of several years. | ||
| Starting in 2015, Fox News Digital hadn't seen the form. | ||
| Well, nobody's seen the form except for the congressmen that were allowed in, although I guess even the one that they showed them, the document that the FBI showed Congress was redacted, but Grassley had seen an unredacted version. | ||
| It's a little confusing, but I think the point of it is that Chris Wray should be held in contempt. | ||
| I don't know why he is not being held in contempt. | ||
| Clearly, they laid down a very severe threat saying, produce these documents or we'll hold you in contempt. | ||
| He has not produced the documents. | ||
| Letting Congress members see this unclassified document in a SCIF is not providing the documents. | ||
| And how are you going to exercise civilian oversight over the spy state if your threats go unfulfilled? | ||
| Completely ridiculous. | ||
| Man should be held in contempt regardless. | ||
| That's my takeaway from it, but we'll show you Chuck Crassley's full statements on the Senate floor in the next segment. | ||
| Meanwhile, I don't even know what to make of this headline. | ||
| We'll puzzle through this here together on the show. | ||
| Green monkey DNA found in COVID-19 shots. | ||
| COVID-19 shots are turning out to be more of a time bomb than ever imagined. | ||
| This new discovery of the presence of green monkey DNA, including tumor-linked viral promoters in the jabs, is this microbiologist and immunologist calling for an immediate halt in the use of mRNA vaccines. | ||
| Again, we'll get into this a little bit later, exactly what the heck's going on here, and whether this can help to confirm or just help to explain some of the massive rise in unexplained cancers in young people and massive skyrocketing death rates across the globe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| But so far, it's like green monkey DNA and aborted fetus tissue and snake venom, apparently. | ||
| And they're just like, we're going to change the definition of vaccines. | ||
| We can call it this to inject it in your blood. | ||
| It's completely insane. | ||
| And like every week, you get a new update just confirming that not succumbing to the propaganda effort, not getting the shot was the best decision you ever made, folks. | ||
| Meanwhile, here's a story. | ||
| Biden gets two-day root canal after a report President, quote, eats like a child. | ||
| Okay. This was like an emergency root canal. | ||
| I'm not even sure if I've ever heard of an emergency root canal. | ||
| There's a lot of things about this story that make you scratch your head. | ||
| I was under the impression he had veneers anyway, like not real teeth anyway. | ||
| So why he would need a root canal is... | ||
| Sort of strange why he hasn't been able to do this root canal in one of the hundreds of days that he doesn't have any official activities planned. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do you think he tries to chew the baby's blood? | |
| I don't even know what that means, eats like a child. | ||
| He just eats candy all the time. | ||
| I don't even know what it means, honestly. | ||
| It's very strange. | ||
| It's very strange. | ||
| So President Biden has spent like more than half of his time as president in like Wilmington, Delaware. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We've determined that that was a miscommunication, that there was supposed to be added punctuation. | |
| He eats like, comma, a child. | ||
| He eats children and it was a little miscommunication. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, that's what we're talking about too. | |
| That could have been it. Yeah, that would lead you to eating a root canal. | ||
| You know, I... Who knows? | ||
| Who knows? It's honestly all very confusing. | ||
| President Biden canceled all three public planned events Monday to complete a two-day root canal after a report last month described tension with Biden's inner circle over the ice cream-loving chief executive eating like a child. | ||
| There's tension in his inner circle, apparently. | ||
| You cannot eat ice cream all day, every day. | ||
| Oh, you listen here, Jack! | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's all very confusing. | ||
| If a root canal requires more than one visit, the first treatment generally is when the infected pulp is removed. | ||
| And the second, maybe third appointment was root canal gets cleaned and filled with the crown or other filling to prevent infection. | ||
| I guess just add this to the rest of his bizarre and inexplicable health maladies. | ||
| Remember when his eye exploded in the middle of a primary debate? | ||
| That was crazy. So just, I don't know, his body just revolting against him. | ||
| Kind of like if you have a transplant, it's being rejected maybe in this place. | ||
| It's just like his soul is being rejected by his body. | ||
| I don't know. I'm not a doctor, but we'll try to figure this out. | ||
| Yeah, apparently he just eats nothing but like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, pizzas, cookie, spaghetti with butter. | ||
| Okay. Okay. | ||
| Interesting. It's all very interesting. | ||
| Meanwhile, Biden regime offers path to citizenship for foreigners enlisting in the U.S. military amid recruiting crisis. | ||
| They're having a little bit of trouble recruiting people because of, you know, the vaccine mandates that are abusive and forcing and apparently monkey DNA shot on people. | ||
| Nobody wants that. Nobody wants to go fight and die in Syria for some unknown reason. | ||
| They don't want to go serve as... | ||
| You know, Zelensky's fodder for his meat grinder in Ukraine for, again, just no reason whatsoever. | ||
| We don't want to go put our lives on the line for gay sex in Uganda. | ||
| So not a lot of people signing up. | ||
| So what they're doing is going to foreigners. | ||
| They're going to have foreigners fill the ranks of our armies because we are in the final stages of this empire's collapse. | ||
| Truly, history repeats itself. | ||
| And finally, of course, the number one story today, and we'll be keeping an eye on this, Trump's arraignment. | ||
| He is expected in court in Miami today. | ||
| Donald Trump is set to make his first court appearance in a historic criminal case where he stands accused of hoarding top-secret documents and jeopardizing national security. | ||
| The Justice Department's prosecution of the former president for the first time in the United States history carries the prospect of a significant prison sentence. | ||
| 49-page indictment unsealed last week charges Trump with 37 felony counts, 31 relating to the willful retention of national defense information. | ||
| We'll get into some of the interesting twists of this story. | ||
| Trump's lawyers filing for an immediate dismissal of this case. | ||
| We'll see how that goes. But also, Trump is insinuating that by prosecuting him, they have now opened, quote, Pandora's box. | ||
| It means now all of these high-level guys have made themselves vulnerable to prosecution in the future. | ||
| It really does feel like it's all coming to a head, doesn't it? | ||
| You've got Joe Biden's blatant corruption being revealed, the FBI's complicity in attempting to hide and cover up on behalf of the Bidens, that corruption all coming to light. | ||
| We've got Republicans seemingly discovering a backbone not a minute too soon and actually pursuing this, filing impeachment charges against Joe Biden. | ||
| We'll see where that goes. | ||
| Again, they should be holding Christopher Wray in contempt. | ||
| And then, of course, Trump is being arraigned today on spurious and everybody recognizes purely political charges. | ||
| It's all very... | ||
| It's all very cataclysmic around here. | ||
| At the same time, you have this new counter-offensive launched in Ukraine that so far has been pretty thoroughly beaten back by Russia. | ||
| I guess they've had one or two successes here or there, but in general, what's been coming out of Ukraine in the last week or so, at least in the last couple days, has just been video after video of Like the craziest war footage you've ever seen. | ||
| Drones just taking out entire columns of armored vehicles. | ||
| The tanks that Ukraine worked so hard, begged so pathetically to get. | ||
| And then they're just driving them through open fields with no air support. | ||
| And they're getting taken out one by one. | ||
| So, I don't know where we go from this. | ||
| You also have this. | ||
| We'll get to the Trump stuff and the Grassley stuff in a second, but I think maybe we should spend a little bit of time talking about the omens, the symbols, the metaphysical warnings that God is giving us. | ||
| I don't know. That's the feeling I get when looking at some of these images. | ||
| The destruction of the Nova Karkova Dam and subsequent floods reveal remains of soldiers from the Second World War. | ||
| So now there are all these images of like skulls. | ||
| Like they're literally coming out of the grave, screaming at us, reminding us of what this type of unrestricted warfare leads to. | ||
| It's sort of horrifying. | ||
| bring these up the the guardian has the story uh skulls left scattered after ukraine dam breach may be from second world war mud flats are littered with bones some of which may be remains from battle 80 years ago near nikopol the emptying of the vast reservoir uh along the nyeper river in ukraine as a result of the destruction of the karkova dam last week has left mud flats littered with skeletons | ||
| according to footage posted online in a reminder of the regions violent past and you can see some of these images i I actually see people on Twitter bringing these up. | ||
| Or like, for some reason trying to be like, actually these aren't the Second World War. | ||
| Like if you go back to that first image, somebody was like, that helmet looks like it was placed on that skull. | ||
| And it's like, so what is your theory? | ||
| Your theory is that somebody had a human skull just hanging out, just waiting to... | ||
| Did you put a World War II helmet on it? | ||
| Or was the skull there and somebody went and got a World War II helmet and covered it in mud and made it look perfect and set it on the skull? | ||
| It's just even the fact that you have people out there feeling the need to try to disprove that this is going on sort of makes me think it really is some sort of holy sign that people are just compelled by the devil to try to counteract, dissuade. I don't know. | ||
| There's something about the way these faces look. | ||
| It's almost like you can actually see the World War II soldiers who up until that point had lived, you know, 20-something years probably, had lives and families only to be left in unmarked graves in mass graves. | ||
| Just piles of carcasses in the sand, now revealed on the verge of the Third World War by the waters of this dam. | ||
| You know, I think they might be trying to tell us something. | ||
| I think the skulls might be trying to send us a message of some sort. | ||
| Like literally the ghosts of World War II emerging from the grave to warn us of what is to come. | ||
| I think we should listen to the skeletons. | ||
| I think we should pay attention to what this is. | ||
| Historians say some of the remains may be of people who died in a huge battle fought over 80 years ago over the same territory, now in the center of Ukraine's counter-offensive against Russian occupation around Nikopol and Kamenyanka Dniprovska. | ||
| Videos taken on the Ukrainian-held and Russian-occupied side of the Dnieper where the reservoir used to be show skulls scattered in the ooze, one wearing a Second World War helmet. | ||
| The footage cannot be independently verified due to fighting in the area. | ||
| But again, it's like, what's the other option here? | ||
| What's the other, you think this is fake? | ||
| You think they faked this? | ||
| Are they not real skulls? | ||
| Are they real skulls? | ||
| Yeah, they look like real skulls to me. | ||
| In late 1943, the focus on Nikopol and the right bank of the river, the site of the metal ore mines that Hitler was determined to hold on to. | ||
| Today, Nikopol is a frontline town held by Ukrainians looking across the mudflats where the reservoir was in the Dnieper River at the occupied town and the power plant as well. | ||
| In late 1943, the Wehrmacht struggled to hold out against troops of the Soviet Southwest Front, and they were forced to abandon the town in February 1944. | ||
| The loss of Soviet troops ranged from 30,000 to 60,000 people. | ||
| The losses of the Russian and Romanian troops were up to 20,000 people. | ||
| So in theory, this video showing the helmet and skull could be linked to those events. | ||
| So just, you know, in a single lifetime, less than 100 years ago, you had tens of thousands, nearly 100,000 people, Lose their lives, snuffed out over the course of a few days during this war, | ||
| during this battle. Knowing to be left in just unknown, you know, just their families back at home, just never, never getting a proper burial, never probably knowing what even happened to them. | ||
| And it's almost symbolic. | ||
| It's almost a... | ||
| Really, like an omen. | ||
| Like, if this was the ancient days, like... | ||
| I don't know. Just be like, you know what? | ||
| Maybe peace. Hey, maybe we should just have peace. | ||
| Maybe this is a reminder of just the absolute unrelenting horrors of war that we should be doing everything in our power to avoid with the urgency that it deserves rather than everything we can to accelerate and expand this pointless, | ||
| meaningless conflict that is not worth one single life, let alone tens or hundreds of thousands of lives, which is just the beginning and soon will You know, it may get even worse as you have actual, you know, things like this being a popular article right now. | ||
| Can Biden deter a Russian nuclear attack? | ||
| Yes. If he gives Ukraine nukes, they're just ramping it up across the board, talking about nuclear exchange, actually suggesting that we give Ukraine tactical nukes in order to mitigate the threat of nukes. | ||
| I mean, this is the mindset of the suicidal psychopaths that are running the world right now and that have since the Second World War. | ||
| Again, you've got something like Lord of the Rings or something. | ||
| The skulls of the dead. | ||
| The ghosts of the war that was emerging from the ground to warn us against our murderous campaign. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | |
| We'll get into the Trump arraignment now. | ||
| We still have the Chuck Grassley bombshell to get into this hour. | ||
| Take your calls the second hour. | ||
| Be joined by Jamie from Dash in the third hour. | ||
| Talk about his story going viral worldwide. | ||
| You can follow in his path and use the phone in your pocket to capture images that And spread around the world and actually bring about change. | ||
| Again, you know, maybe if this were any other show, we would have already been talking about what's going on with Trump and Grassley and all that. | ||
| But I guess it's something a little bit unique about Infowars that... | ||
| I don't know if Fox News or any of these other outlets... | ||
| Would bother telling you about omens that God is sending. | ||
| But, you know, God's real. | ||
| Sometimes you get signs that transcend the temporal and become something metaphysical. | ||
| Something straight up out of a movie. | ||
| I don't know how not everybody's freaking out about this. | ||
| The fact that you literally have skulls and skeletons like rising from the ground. | ||
| From World War II, just, you know, maybe it's just... | ||
| Maybe the old Romans had it right. | ||
| You know, maybe you should pay attention to this sort of stuff. | ||
| I mean, the Romans were so superstitious about these things. | ||
| If you just were starting off a voyage and you tripped getting onto the boat, they would just cancel the voyage. | ||
| They would just go, you know what? Nope. | ||
| God's telling us we can't do this. | ||
| That's why people... It's one of the theories. | ||
| I've heard multiple theories, but it's one of the reasons why the tradition is to carry the bride over the doorstep. | ||
| You take her into the house after getting married. | ||
| The idea was that if she were to trip on the door, it's like your marriage is ruined. | ||
| It's over. So the husband would pick up the wife to guarantee that she didn't trip and ruin things for everyone. | ||
| But no, I think it's important to pay attention to these types of Symbols. | ||
| You know, symbols aren't just something used by the elites to signal to each other that they're all corrupt and evil. | ||
| They certainly use that. | ||
| But there's a reason. | ||
| Because God actually provides symbols for us. | ||
| And maybe we should pay attention to them if we want the human race to continue. | ||
| We will get into, you know... | ||
| What you expect from Infowars, the actual unfettered truth about politics as we move forward. | ||
| But we thought you'd like to hear about the ghostly remains of World War II warning us away from further war in the future. | ||
| Actually, Matt had a... | ||
| An interesting idea about this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, dude, we figured it out. | |
| It was a team effort, okay? | ||
| We figured out why the Russians bombed their own dam. | ||
| Now stick with me, okay? | ||
| Give it to me. Okay, so they bombed their own dam. | ||
| That way these skulls would resurface, reminding everybody that this used to be their land. | ||
| Pretty interesting. It's pretty hard to... | ||
|
unidentified
|
They fought for it. | |
| Pretty hard to counter, yeah. | ||
| To be like, no, this is our land. | ||
| Look at all of the dead people we left here fighting over this before. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's not blood and soil. | |
| It's blood and water. | ||
| Or just soil and... | ||
| It's literally blood and soil. | ||
|

|
A mix of two of the three. | |
| Two of the three. Pick two of the three. | ||
| It's incredibly interesting. | ||

| And with that, let's get into what's going on in Florida today. | ||
| Of course, the story that we read during the Daily Dispatch gives you the mainstream version of the story. | ||
| Trump's arraignment, what to expect at court appearance in Miami. | ||
| Donald Trump is set to make his first court appearance in a historic criminal case where he stands accused of hoarding top-secret government documents and jeopardizing national security. | ||
| The Justice Department's prosecution of the former president for the first time in the United States history carries the prospect of a significant prison sentence. | ||
| Hundreds of years, actually, if found guilty on trial. | ||
| All of them. All of these accounts. | ||
| Trump landed in Florida around 3 p.m. | ||
| on Monday and is expected to appear in federal court in Miami at 3 p.m. | ||
| on Tuesday. That'll be 2 p.m. | ||
| our time. So that will happen during the war room or I guess during the last hour of the Alex Jones broadcast today. | ||
| 49-page indictment was unsealed last week, charging Trump with 37 felony counts, 31 relating to the willful retention of national defense information. | ||
| Other charges include conspiracy to commit obstruction and false statements. | ||
| Now, Trump, of course, has treated this as he has treated most of the accusations or attacks against him by not backing down, by pointing out the absurdity, the sheer ludicrousness of what's going on. | ||
| Comparing it to the way people like Hillary Clinton is treated, of course, presents a stark contrast, completely separate application of the law here. | ||
| But even without comparison, these charges themselves have very little to rely on. | ||
| We'll get into that in just a second. | ||
| But the other thing Trump is doing is basically saying you've now opened the door to yourselves being prosecuted. | ||
| You now are so desperate to go after Trump that you're setting precedents that will be turned on you. | ||
| I think we all are kind of sick of hearing that as a threat. | ||
| We'd like to see it fulfilled. | ||
| It's what the Republicans constantly do. | ||
| Well, if you do that, you're opening the door for us doing it later. | ||
| Then they just do it, and then the Republicans never do anything back. | ||
| Kind of like what's happening with Trump. Christopher Wray, we'll hold you in contempt if you don't do this. | ||
| He doesn't do it. And they're just like, well, okay. | ||
| Never mind then. It's just like, all right. | ||
| Grow a spine. Our country's very existence depends on you growing a spine. | ||
| Grow a spine. Trump at least has a spine. | ||
| Let's go now to this video. | ||
| We'll comment on it on the other side. | ||
| Trump confirms he has the political ammunition to go scorched earth. | ||
| He says Pandora's box has been opened. | ||

Let's watch. I want to read you something you wrote today on Truth Social. | |
| I will appoint a real special prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the USA, Joe Biden, and the entire Biden crime family, and then on from there. | ||
| But, I mean, would you really appoint someone? | ||
| I mean, where does this all end? | ||
| Well, they've opened up the box. | ||
|

|
Look, Bill Barr is a weak coward. | |
| And he didn't want to do anything on this. | ||
| And yet, in many ways, a lot of people sort of, including me, I said, you know, I get it, because you don't want to go after sitting presidents and vice presidents and all of the things. | ||
| So I sort of got it. | ||
| Not necessarily a believer, but now they've opened up the Pandora's box. | ||
| And now we're in a position where we can say, and look at the corruption in the Biden family, the millions and millions of dollars pouring in from China and other places. | ||
| It's a disgrace. From Burisma, you take a look at the money coming in from Ukraine. | ||
| So much money, and nobody does anything about that. | ||
| Well, we're gonna get to it. | ||
| And now we can do it, because now the box has been opened. | ||
| It's the Pandora's box that has been opened, and it's been wide open. | ||
| So I'm allowed to do that. | ||
| People will say, now we get it. | ||
| Trump's saying Pandora's box is open. | ||
| Flynn's saying the storm is here. | ||
| Did you trust the plan, folks? | ||
| Was Q right all along? | ||
| We'll get into it on the other side. | ||
| It's interesting how much of what's going on today can be traced back to the 2016 campaign. | ||
|

|
Oh. | |
| It really was like year zero in the new American reality. | ||
| The amazing thing is the way that this keeps happening where they would take something totally out of context that Trump wasn't saying he was going to do. | ||
| They Presented as something, so I'll just give the actual example, right? | ||
| When Trump was in the debate and Hillary Clinton said, you know, I'm lucky that you weren't in charge when I was Secretary of State, and he said, well, because you'd be in jail, right? | ||
| And obviously, one of the finest moments in all of political history in America. | ||
| Incredible stuff. And obviously, what he was saying at that point was... | ||
| If I'm president, then we're going to punish people who break the law, no matter who they are. | ||
| If I had been president while you were breaking the law, you wouldn't have gotten away with it like you did. | ||
| And by note, she got away with it because the FBI and James Comey did a press conference where they explained how they were letting her get away with it. | ||
| It's not exactly up for debate. | ||
| And everybody knew that's what he was saying. | ||
| Obviously, he was saying, if I had been president, then you would be in jail because, as Secretary of State, you... | ||
| You had an unsecure email server where you were doing backroom deals and specifically had a server to avoid oversight, to avoid scrutiny by the American people because what you were doing was illegal, transferring weapons. | ||
| And then when you were subpoenaed for that information, you smashed your devices with a hammer and And you'd go to jail for that under any legitimate presidency. | ||
| He's saying my presidency would be a lawful one, therefore you would go to jail. | ||
| Everybody knew that's what he was saying. Then it was taken out of context. | ||
| They've lied about it, in other words. | ||
| Not even taken out of context. Just like a straight lie where they said Donald Trump is saying that he will arrest his political opponents when he's the president. | ||
| And they're freaking out about this, right? | ||
| It's not something he actually said. | ||
| It's something they insinuated. | ||
| It's something they interpreted. | ||
| Because they wanted to and they understood at the time what a horrific violation of everything we hold dear as Americans. | ||
| What our very system relies on is people not using their political power to just baselessly charge their opponents to cripple them or hamper them politically using the DOJ, using the Justice Department to progress their political agenda. | ||
| What a horrific suggestion to even make. | ||
| Now, he didn't make that suggestion, but they pretended that he made that suggestion so they could signal what a horrifying and despotic thing that would be. | ||
| And now they're doing it. | ||
| It's this common sort of theme that occurs where Trump makes a statement. | ||
| They take it totally out of context. | ||
| Pretend he's saying something he didn't say. | ||
| Talk about what a horrible thing it would be if he did say that. | ||
| And then the horrible thing that they're so shocked and appalled about, they actually do later and say, actually, it's a good thing. | ||
| And it's a positive thing that we're doing. | ||
| He never said he was going to prosecute his political enemies. | ||
| But they understand what a dangerous prospect that was because of how they freaked out. | ||
| I mean, it can kind of remind you of things like... | ||
| You know, under COVID with the vaccine passports, the first time that anybody warned about vaccine passports, people like Infowars saying, hey, they're setting this up for vaccine passports before the vaccine had ever been developed, before most people even knew about COVID. We understood where this was going. | ||
| And people's first reactions was this gut... | ||
| Like revulsion of just like, whoa, whoa, you're saying a passport that you have to have a medical intervention before you can buy food? | ||
| That's horrifying. No way that'll ever happen, right? | ||
| The initial response to that suggestion was like visceral revulsion about it. | ||
| Then you give it a couple months of brainwashing and suddenly they're calling you crazy for opposing the vaccine passport. | ||
| They're trying to save lives after all and you're killing grandma. | ||
| So their first reaction when they hear a presidential candidate, which, again, Trump didn't even do, but to hear a presidential candidate say, I will arrest my political opponents, they're like, oh my god, they have this visceral revulsion. | ||
| And then, you know, give it a couple years, and Joe Biden is currently, as we speak, prosecuting his political opponent, just the most blatant and egregious way, and they're all in favor of it, and they think it's a great thing. | ||
| It's just interesting how that happens. | ||
| It's an interesting cycle we continually find ourselves in, because these people are despicable liars. | ||
| And that's the entirety of the explanation. | ||
| But now it's open. Now they've done it. | ||
| Now the thing that they said that Trump said he was going to do, that he didn't, that they warned was going to be a terrible thing, they've gone ahead and done it now. | ||
| So they've done the thing that they recognized in 2016 was totally horrific and would open the door for just the absolute collapse of the American government and the way we operate. | ||
| Which is kind of a good thing. | ||
| I'm kind of happy that this corrupt system is being torn down. | ||
| I kind of don't care about any of their pathetic and arbitrary rules that they refuse to apply to themselves but only apply to each other and then act like there's something sacred that they're supporting. | ||
| Yeah, we're not falling for it anymore. | ||
| But now they've done it. | ||
| As Trump puts it, they've opened Pandora's box. | ||
| Former President Donald Trump announced his intention to appoint a real special prosecutor to investigate Joe Biden, the entire Biden crime family, and others, he asserts, were involved in rigged elections, improper border management, and the destruction of our great nation overall. | ||
| Trump addressed his supporters promising to undertake a myriad of actions aimed at reversing the course of the current regime's policy. | ||
| At the heart of Trump's statement, however, lies his vow to appoint a real special prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president in history. | ||
| The history of the USA, Joe Biden, the entire Biden crime family, and others involved with the destruction of our election borders and country itself. | ||
| You know, here's the issue. We can't get caught up too much with the current, like, immediate reality of, you know, the bribe to Biden being exposed. | ||
| And we'll cover that thoroughly in just a little bit and show you the statement from Chuck Grassley and dig into it. | ||
| You know, what the implications of the latest revelation are. | ||
| But that's just the tip of the iceberg. | ||
| I mean, all of this dates back to the Obama administration, where Joe Biden was vice president. | ||
| So, you know, if you're going to go after the most corrupt administration, it's not Biden's, it's Obama's. | ||
| This is where this all started. But of course... | ||
| We've seen from the revelations from the Durham report as well as the Twitter files and FBI whistleblowers that all of this action was coordinated with Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama who gave the nod to the FBI to allow them to start the Russiagate, Spygate investigation. | ||
| And we also know that Hillary and Bill Clinton have been CIA assets and extremely useful political tools for the deep state since at least their time in Arkansas when Bill was governor. | ||
| And we also know that Obama, born in Kenya, married to a man, and also is a CIA creation himself. | ||
| I mean, his mom He was like a honeypot agent for the CIA. And by charting his course through college, into politics, as a community organizer, | ||
| into the Senate, and then into the presidency, and getting all of the media to go along with this, the CIA had another very useful, very young and inexperienced, very malleable, very smooth-talking That they could manipulate at will. | ||
| So Trump's not going up against the Bidens. | ||
| He's not going up against the Obamas. | ||
| He's not going up against the Clintons. | ||
| He's going up against the deep state, the apparatus that has controlled every politician since at least Reagan. | ||
| I'd say even before that, I mean, probably the big turning point would have been when they killed the last president they didn't control, John F. Kennedy. | ||
| And had LBJ to do their dirty work and to allow them to start doing the drug trading that led to Iran-Contra that has been a source of funding for their black ops operation since the 1960s at least. | ||
| So, you know, to get the full scope and scale of what Trump is up against here, he talks about the Bidens because that's what's in the news right now. | ||
| Because that's the current president, that's the guy who's actually prosecuting him. | ||
| But once you start unraveling, you know, when you start pulling at the thread of Biden corruption, it's not the Bidens. | ||
| It's not some crime family that's taking advantage of the American system. | ||
| It's the American system as a whole has been taken over by the intelligence agencies for the last several decades and has been run exclusively to their benefit using the American people just as fodder for their ridiculous overseas wars, their geopolitical chess games that they're playing. | ||
| And that's what Trump is going up against. | ||
| So he says they've opened Pandora's box. | ||
| We can only hope. We can only hope that he is taking this with the seriousness it deserves. | ||
| General Michael Flynn is sort of signaling to the QAnon people, by the way, saying, yes, the storm has arrived. | ||
| We the people need to arise to the occasion. | ||
| 17 audio recordings of both Joe and Hunter Biden. | ||
| 17. 17, the letter of the alphabet. | ||
| Q, we the people. | ||
| Where we go one, we go all. | ||
| Trust the plan. | ||
| It's all happening. | ||
| All right, folks, we will get into the Chuck Grassley revelations in the next segment and really break it down for you. | ||
| This is the second hour here on AmericanJournalInfowars.com, band.video. | ||
| Support us at InfowarsStore.com, of course. | ||
| I'm just sort of teasing about the whole QAnon thing. | ||
| QAnon was... | ||
| Well, we don't even need to get into it. | ||
| But clearly, General Flynn is signaling the QAnon people, saying the storm has arrived, using one of their... | ||
| Popular memes, I guess. | ||
| General Michael Flynn on Grassley's bombshell, yes, the storm has arrived. | ||
| We the people need to arise to the occasion. | ||
| He says, yes, the storm has arrived, and now it's between competing clouds of those who are woke in the USG, the media, the US government, media, and corporate world all losing, by the way, and those who think they are taking down Donald Trump through this fake false indictment with additional persecution. | ||
| The White House, they're making him even more appealing. | ||
| The rhino establishment wants us all to move past Trump and get on with their lame attempts to govern the nation, and that hasn't worked well for over half a century. | ||
| The Union Party has yielded the takeover of the communist left globalist. | ||
| Hashtag we the people need to rise to the occasion and start to participate in every action and election going on in our communities. | ||
| And yes, the storm has arrived. | ||
| And of course they point out that the DOJ and FBI have known about the revelations that Grassley made since 2017. | ||
| Yet they wrongly dragged, again this is Flynn talking, he says, they wrongly dragged my family and I, President Trump and his family and the rest of America through a knothole for the last six years. | ||
| How bad is the corruption in these two? | ||
| Just about as bad as you can possibly imagine. | ||
| According to an NBC News poll, nearly 70% of GOP voters stand behind Trump amid the indictment and investigations. | ||
| Trump's saying these indictments have backfired since his polling is going up and up. | ||
| I don't know if they really care, though. | ||
| I think they're just going to cheat again. | ||
| I think this is them cheating. | ||
| I mean, they're going to throw you in jail. | ||
| It's incredible. Trump's legal team is apparently preparing to file a motion to dismiss Jack Smith's case, citing prosecutorial misconduct. | ||
| Trump's legal team is preparing to file a motion to dismiss special counsel Jack Smith's case, citing prosecutorial misconduct. | ||
| Trump's lawyers will ask Judge Eileen Cannon to unseal Obama-appointed Judge Beryl Howell's order obliterating Trump's attorney-client privilege with his lawyer Eric Corcoran via Real Clear Investigations reporter Paul Sperry. | ||
| Insiders say Russia's new legal team preparing to file a motion to dismiss case citing prosecutorial misconduct and will ask Judge Cannon to unseal Obama-appointed Judge Howell's order breaching attorney-client privilege between Corcoran and Trump. | ||
| And declared notes inadmissible. | ||
| As the Gateway repundant reported Judge Beryl Howell an Obama appointee was first assigned to oversee Jack Smith's classified document case in January 6 case against Trump. | ||
| Judge Beryl Howell ruled against Trump at every turn. | ||
| In fact, Judge Howell previously ordered Trump's lawyer, Evan Corcoran, to testify before a grand jury in special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into classified documents stored at Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| Judge Howell flipped Trump's own lawyer into a witness when she obliterated Trump's attorney-client privilege in a ruling. | ||
| Howell ruled DOJ prosecutors met the threshold for the crime fraud exception for Trump's attorney. | ||
| Jack Smith used Eric Corcoran's notes against Trump. | ||
| According to the indictment reviewed by the Gateway Pundit, Jack Smith used notes memorialized by Trump's lawyer against the former president. | ||
| Trump's privileged conversation with his lawyer about the boxes of documents stored in Mar-a-Lago was used to charge Trump with conspiracy to obstruct withholding a document or record, corruptly concealing a document or record, and false statements. | ||
| Trump's attorneys Jim Trustee and John Rowley stepped down on Friday after Trump was indicted by a Florida grand jury. | ||
| He'll be arraigned in Miami on Tuesday. | ||
| I suppose, I don't know if today will be the day that they put forward that request to dismiss, but... | ||
| This is the desperation. | ||
| This is the just the ends justify the means attitude of the Democrats. | ||
| It's like attorney-client privilege, executive privilege. | ||
| Just burn it all down in their attempt to get Trump. | ||
| Are they setting the stage for their own destruction? | ||
| I guess we'll have to wait and see if the rest of the Republicans have backbone. | ||
| All right, welcome back. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, this is the American Journal. | ||
| We'll take your calls on everything that we're covering here today. | ||
| If you want to tell us your thoughts, give us a call. | ||
| 1-877-789-2539. | ||
| That's 1-877-789-2539. | ||
| Give us a call now, and we'll take your calls on all of this political corruption. | ||
| A few more things to talk about with the Trump indictment today. | ||
| He should be arriving there around 2 p.m. | ||
| Central Time to be arraigned. | ||
| I guess he'll get his picture taken and his fingers printed. | ||
| We're going to move on to the other major story, which maybe one of the biggest stories I've seen in a very, very, very long time. | ||

You know, usually. | |
| I'd never used it before, but just the last few days, Twitter has a top articles tab now. | ||
| I don't know if that's a blue checkmark thing. | ||
| You get access to it or if everybody has it, but usually it's a pretty good collection because it just goes by whoever you follow, what they're talking about, and has articles that are on the top of that list. | ||
| I've never seen it to where two of the same article appear, but this morning there were like four or five articles all about this Chuck Grassley revelation. | ||
| In other words, this is a really big deal and literally everybody's talking about it on every different platform. | ||
| So let's listen to what Chuck Grassley said and break it down and perhaps provide some further insight into what this all entails. | ||
| Let's go now to a quick little clip of Chuck Grassley yesterday talking about the audio recordings and the 1023 form from the FBI showing Biden corruption. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That the foreign national who allegedly bribed Joe and Hunter Biden allegedly has audio recordings of his conversation with them. | |
| Seventeen such recordings. | ||
| According to the 1023, the foreign national possesses 15 audio recordings of phone calls between him and Hunter Biden. | ||
| According to the 1023, the foreign national possesses two audio recordings of phone calls between him and then Vice President Joe Biden. | ||
| These recordings were allegedly kept as a sort of insurance policy for the foreign national in case that he got into a tight spot. | ||
| The 1023 also indicates that then-Vice President Joe Biden may have been involved in Burma, employing Hunter Biden. | ||
| Based on the facts known to the Congress and the public, it's clear that the Justice Department and the FBI haven't nearly had the same laser focus on the Biden family. | ||
| Special Counsel Jack Smith has used a recording against former President Trump. | ||
| Well, what is U.S. Attorney Weiss doing with respect to these alleged Joe and Hunter Biden recordings that are apparently relevant to the high-stakes bribery scheme? | ||
| Getting a full and complete 1023 is critical for the American people to know and understand the true nature of the document and to hold the Justice Department and the FBI accountable. | ||
| It's also important for asserting constitutional congressional oversight powers against an out-of-control executive branch, obviously drunk, with political infection. | ||
| Remember, Congress has received 1023s in the past, and they've been made public. | ||
| So asking for this 1023 to be turned over to the American people to read is not an unusual thing that goes on with 1023s. | ||
| So he points out that the Burisma executive at the center of these corruption charges actually had audio recordings that he kept as insurance, an insurance policy. | ||
| Very interesting. Senator Chuck Grassley said Monday the Burisma executive who allegedly paid Joe Biden and Hunter Biden kept 17 audio recordings of his conversations with them as an insurance policy citing the FBI FD-1023 form that the Bureau briefed congressional lawmakers on. | ||
| He revealed that what was said in a redacted reference to the FBI-generated FD-1023 form alleging a criminal bribery scheme between then-Vice President Joe Biden and Foreign National involved in influence over U.S. policy decisions The 1023 form, dated to June 30, 2020, is the FBI's interview with a highly credible confidential source who detailed multiple meetings and conversations he or she had with the top Burisma executive over the course of several years, starting all the way back in 2015. | ||
| Now, it's been redacted, and the part that was redacted is the reference to this Burisma executive's possessing recordings about what happened. | ||
| There's nothing in the revelation that the Breesman executive kept recordings. | ||
| There's nothing in there that would show our enemies or show people who are against the United States tactics or methods or confidential sources. | ||
| In other words, there was no legitimate reason to redact this. | ||
| The FBI redacted this completely arbitrarily, completely without... | ||
| Reason or justification for doing so, only to, I guess, cover their butts, cover themselves or the Biden administration from this being revealed. | ||
| Truck Grassley's seen it, but there's another aspect to this, which is that the document itself isn't even classified, but it is, again, arbitrarily redacted. | ||
| So, I mean, this really is the conflict of our time. | ||
| This is... From everything, from the Trump indictment to the revelations about Joe Biden to the conflict between Congress and the FBI. I mean, this is determining what our government is. | ||
| Is it for the people, by the people? | ||
| Is it responsible to the voters? | ||
| Is it a democracy or a republic where the final say is with the people themselves? | ||
| Or Is all of that just a thin veneer? | ||
| Is all of that just window dressing and a costume that's being worn by the real government, which is just deep state, corrupt psychopaths that do whatever the hell they want regardless of what the people feel about it? | ||
| I mean, this is it. | ||
| This is determining who we are as a country and how we operate. | ||
| In other words, if they're able to get away with this, There really is no point in voting anymore. | ||
| I mean, when you get somebody in Congress who promises to do something to break up the deep state, too bad. | ||
| They have no power, apparently. | ||
| Now, they have the power that they assert. | ||
| They have the power that they wield. | ||
| So far, they have been willing to submit to the FBI, willing to roll over and not fulfill their role. | ||
| Either to the FBI, which is under the Justice Department, which is part of the executive branch. | ||
| In other words, what the government is doing right now, what the Biden administration is doing and has been doing since they got into office, basically. | ||
| Certainly, they did this during COVID, is just usurping power from the other branches of government. | ||
| You see how they're attacking the Supreme Court. | ||
| You see every day, hit pieces on the Supreme Court, claiming the Supreme Court is invalid, saying they're extremists, saying they shouldn't be listened to, AOC making these claims, saying, well, they can say whatever they want, we're going to do it anyway. | ||
| Do we have three branches of government that serve as checks and balances? | ||
| So no one has too much power. | ||
| I mean, do we still have a three-branch government whose ultimate power lies in the people, or is everything being consolidated into the executive branch? | ||
| They're able to act without oversight, even from the media. | ||
| I mean, the media as well is in on this. | ||
| They're not providing or fulfilling their role as holding power to the light and You know, holding their feet to the flames. | ||
| And said they're cooperating with the CIA and the deep state. | ||
| So are we a single branch, single party, deep state, totally closed society? | ||
| Or are we a society that still empowers the people? | ||
| That's the decision. There's atrazine throughout our water supply. | ||
| If you, in a lab, put atrazine in a tank full of frogs, it will feminize every frog in there. | ||
| I don't like them putting chemicals in the water. | ||
| They turn the friggin' frogs in! | ||
| Frogs will turn into fully viable females able to produce viable eggs. | ||
| If it's doing that to frogs, there's a lot of other evidence that it's doing it to human beings as well. | ||
| He was right again. | ||
| A brilliant edit by Damon Amani. | ||
| Go follow Damon Amani on Twitter. | ||
| Friend of the show. Damon Amani does really great stuff. | ||
| Yeah, Alex Jones was right again about everything the entire time. | ||
| Isn't that something? Isn't that something else? | ||
| We'll go out to your phone calls here this segment. | ||
| I did sort of a thorough breakdown yesterday of how all of this sort of intertwines, that it goes all the way back to 2016. | ||
| You've got the insinuation that Trump was a Russian agent. | ||
| People still make this claim on Twitter. | ||
| It is legitimately the craziest thing you can imagine. | ||
| But Greg Price did a shorter breakdown of this that I thought was really good if I can find it here. | ||
| He says this is Greg Price on Twitter at Greg underscore Price 11. | ||
| Realize how much of a farce the first Trump impeachment was. | ||
| Now that we know Joe and Hunter each took five million dollars in bribes from Burisma. | ||
| The executive has 17 recordings discussing their deal. | ||
| The DOJ hid them from the public along with Hunter's laptop. | ||
| Biden was on tape bragging about the firing of the prosecutor investigating Burisma. | ||
| And Pelosi impeached Trump because he simply asked Zelensky about this corruption. | ||
| I mean, it all was very intertwined. | ||
| This is a tangled web they weave when they practice to deceive. | ||
| It's absolutely incredible. | ||
| Speaker McCarthy also said, Went off on CNN yesterday. | ||
| Shredding hostile CNN reporter over network hiring McCabe and Clapper after they interfered in 2020 election. | ||
| Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy tore into a CNN reporter over her network's decision to hire two intelligence operatives who themselves leaked classified information and lied about it to the American people. | ||
| McCarthy was discussing, quote, equal justice under the law regarding former President Trump's unprecedented federal indictment when a CNN reporter kept interrupting him. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| FBI former deputy director Andrew McCabe, who was fired from the bureau for leaking classified documents in 2018, saying, quote, you can't put words in my mouth, even though your network can hire Andrew McCabe, who was fired from the FBI for leaking classified documents. | ||
| Did you remove him from your network? | ||
| No. | ||
| You continued to put him on to give judgment against President Trump. | ||
| Again, just spitting back in their face all of their feigned moral outrage about classified material. | ||
| They literally have people on their payroll who did much worse than Trump is even accused of. | ||
| McCarthy also brought up how CNN hired former security director James Clapper, who leaked classified information to CNN's Jake Tapper, and also signed on to the famous intelligence community letter falsely claiming the Hunter Biden laptop scandal was Russian disinformation in 2020. | ||
| But the CNN reporter attempted to shut him down. | ||
| Again, these people's feigned moral outrage, their feigned love of... | ||
| The sacred justice, you know, process of justice. | ||
| Nobody is above the law except all of them, right? | ||
| Completely, completely insane. | ||
| I mean, we just... | ||
| And again, this is just barely scratching the surface. | ||
| Like, if you think this is the biggest scandal, it ain't. | ||
| I mean, not by a very, very long shot. | ||
| But it is something that illustrates not just the corruption of the Biden administration, but the corruption of the Obama administration, and more importantly, the corruption of the FBI itself, who has this evidence and withholds it. | ||
| So, I mean, is that part of it? | ||
| Is that why they redacted the 1023 report? | ||
| Where it said that they had audio recordings. | ||
| Does the FBI have those audio recordings? | ||
| Just like the Burisma executive was keeping these audio recordings as insurance. | ||
| In other words, blackmail, extortionary material to force the Bidens to do what he wants. | ||
| See, this is the way it works. You give $5 million to the Bidens and say, hey, do this for me. | ||
| And that might get you something, $5 million, $10 million. | ||
| That's a pretty paycheck. | ||
| You'll probably get something from the Bidens. | ||
| But if you record that transaction, now you have blackmail on him. | ||
| That's worth far more than $10 million. | ||
| That's worth his entire career and life's work. | ||
| You have that blackmail. | ||
| Now you have something you can hold over them and force the Bidens to do things that they wouldn't do for $50 million. | ||
| They'll do it to stop you from releasing that blackmail. | ||
| So, you know, it gets worse and worse the more you think about it. | ||
| And the question is, was the FBI also using this as blackmail to control the Bidens? | ||
| After all, it seems at this point our entire government operates on extortion and blackmail. | ||
| I forget for the people, by the people. | ||
| It's just like, who can blackmail people? | ||
| The other people more skillfully. | ||
| And it really is like House of Cards out there. | ||
| And it's horrifying. It's horrifying because people that are empowered with unrestrained access to the incredible technological spy grid that we have. | ||
| We've been granted that access, granted those powers solely under the understanding and under the purview of their role as Keepers of the law in this country are just completely rogue and don't even pretend to follow the law anymore. | ||
| Almost has a signal to us. | ||
| Let's go to your phone calls now. | ||
| We'll go to Sean in Riverside, California. | ||
| Thanks for calling in. Sean, you're on the air about Chuck Grassley. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go ahead. Yes, good morning, Harrison. | |
| I'm on the air about Chuck Grassley and... | ||
| What we have is an issue going on here with memory. | ||
| Everything follows a trail. | ||
| Now, I might sound like an old boomer here, but trust me, my Generation X self, I remember David Knight talking specifically about something. | ||
| I remember U.S. vs. | ||
| William. It's establishing that the grand jury is effectively a fourth branch of government. | ||
| And I recall telling you, Harrison, about enforcement mechanisms like sheriffs that go with that grand jury. | ||
| Yesterday, at the very end of your callers, you told a gentleman there was not enforcement mechanisms. | ||
| So what's up, brother? Do you have memory as well, or did you need some brain force? | ||
| Because we ought to be on point, and we all got to be getting this knowledge out that people have remedy And we can move forward and get this country back in order. | ||
| There's no need to be blackpilled, my brother. | ||
| What do you think? Well, so what would we do? | ||
| I just think the idea of... | ||
| I'm just thinking about this in the real world in the way that the media will portray it, which actually matters, even if it's lies. | ||
| You have to understand they have the ears of the majority of the people. | ||
| And I understand while it's theoretically possible to, like, convene a grand jury, if you don't do it through the correct process, then they can say this is illegitimate. | ||
| Who cares? This is 12 people getting together and proclaiming judgment. | ||
| It doesn't matter because they're not, you know, wearing the dresses that the judges wear. | ||
| I mean, you know, the symbolism and being a part of the process works. | ||
| So how would this take place? | ||
| You know, what would have to happen for what Chuck Grassley has revealed to go to a grand jury outside of the typical system? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, there's previous info I've plugged at certain websites. | |
| I'll skip that, you know, to keep it all in-house. | ||
| And the thing is, you need the 25 or 27 people to create the grand jury, and then from there, you would have your trial jury. | ||
| You're going to create an affidavit. | ||
| The affidavit, you're going to lead through that process, eventually create resentment. | ||
| That's what you take to your sheriff. | ||
| Yeah. Well, we'll be right back. | ||
| I'll let you tell us more on the other side, Sean. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Stay on the air, please. Alright folks, welcome back. | |
| We're going out to your calls now. | ||
| Sean in Riverside, California. | ||
| So again, what would be step one in bringing charges via grand jury? | ||
| Would it just be gathering the grand jury and impaneling them? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Grand jury being impaneled? | |
| Yes, Harrison. Let's use an example. | ||
| Say your neighbor shot your dog, right? | ||
| You get the people in the community together. | ||
| You gather the evidence. The neighbor shot your dog. | ||
| Put in a document. You create an affidavit. | ||
| You serve it to the neighbor saying, you shot my dog. | ||
| If he does not rebut that, that stands as fact in court. | ||
| You then take that, create a presentment. | ||
| You go to a sheriff. If you call an indictment, go to a DA. That'll tick off the DA. But the point is, say there's a law in the book that if someone shoots your dog, they can be arrested. | ||
| Does the sheriff arrest them? If he doesn't, Then, you know, you've got to get rid of that sheriff. | ||
| But a simple fact of the matter is that people have a lot of options. | ||
| A unrebutted affidavit in court will stand as fact. | ||
| It will stand as truth. | ||
| It's a back of the law. So, you know, if... | ||
| You don't have that option. | ||
| You can always publish the findings of facts and at least get the court of public opinion. | ||
| Your reference, the media will spin it. | ||
| As you said, the majority won't believe it. | ||
| The majority of Americans voted for Donald Trump. | ||
| I think the majority of Americans will listen to it if your evidence collected follows the process and takes due diligence. | ||
| What do you think, bro? I'd like to see it. | ||
| I mean, I'm in favor of it. | ||
| And of course, when people call in about this, I give them a chance to air what they think needs to happen. | ||
| But I don't know. | ||
| I still don't quite understand, again, the enforcement mechanism of this. | ||
| I think the American system is strong enough that Essentially, you're asking sheriffs to go up against the Secret Service because the Secret Service probably wouldn't comply with whatever was going on. | ||
| I don't know. I just don't want to pursue pie-in-the-sky stuff. | ||
| If it's possible and starts going, I'm more than happy to lend my support to it. | ||
| And I'd love to see somebody, you know, get that train rolling. | ||
| So thanks so much for the call, Sean. | ||
| Let's go to Hobbs in Nebraska. | ||
| I think has sort of a similar comment, at least along the lines of what Republicans can be doing. | ||
| Go ahead, Hobbs. You're on the air. | ||
| Hey, good morning, Harrison. | ||
| Good morning, InfoWarriors. | ||
| It's your boy, Hobbs, Rose to Liberty. | ||
| No, I don't have any similar comments about what the Republicans should be doing. | ||
| I just heard you talking before that the congressional Republicans weren't fulfilling their duties or playing their role as far as what they should be doing in the Congress by prosecuting or holding I tend to disagree. | ||
| I think that the establishment Republicans are playing their role perfectly, because as it is right now, the destination for government is always for government. | ||
| And it's a fairly common saying that Republicans are just Democrats going the speed limit. | ||
| The role that the Republicans, the establishment Republicans at least play, is cowardice. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right. And start to throw the establishment types out and get with the more populist, | ||
| independents, libertarians, people who have the best interests of this country and not necessarily a political party or any type of socio-political agenda, that I think that things are going to move forward in our favor a little more. | ||
| And one more thing. | ||
| I'm sure Simon is probably on the line right now waiting, but in case he isn't, I'm going to plug his channel or his compatriots channel over there on Rumble, the Jason Q Citizen or Jason Oldborn channel. | ||
| He had an emergency transmission last night. | ||
| It would be of great interest to anybody out there who is interested in things like the socio-political and geopolitical goings-on of the petro-states and the end times prophecy. | ||
| I know those don't sound like they go together, but trust me, it's half an hour long and it's well worth anybody's time. | ||
| Okay, great. Yeah, I haven't had a chance to look at that. | ||
| I don't have Simon on my board quite yet, so maybe if he calls in, we'll give him a chance to break all of that down. | ||
| But all the stuff that we've been covering up to this point is simply continuing at a pace. | ||
| You've got, yeah, Road to Liberty is Hobbs' channel. | ||
| Jason Q. Citizen, I think, is the one that Simon posts on. | ||
| And yeah, so all of this stuff, I mean, in terms of China making major inroads, the collaboration or coordination or, you know, re-alliance of the Middle East is continuing. | ||
| There have been some further steps with that in the last couple days. | ||
| I haven't really touched on it too much, but suffice it to say, it's what we've been seeing for the last couple weeks, just continuing... | ||
| Thank you so much for that call, Hobbs. | ||
| Let's go now to James in Australia. | ||
| Go ahead, James. Thanks so much for calling in from the land down under. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're on the air. Thanks for having me, Harrison. | |
| Just wanted to quickly comment. | ||
| I heard you talking earlier about Fox News, and it reminded me of a ridiculous article I saw in your New York Times a little while back suggesting that Fox News and the Murdoch Empire It was set up to, A, protect the rich, and B, control the masses via bigotry. | ||
| Now, in fact, it was set up simply to make money and therefore follows what the people want and, in my view, serves democracy. | ||
| Another ridiculous article I saw in the same publication was an article about states with draconian abortion laws. | ||
| Now, draconian is to be killed before birth. | ||
| That's it from me. | ||
| Thanks, Harrison. Thank you very much, James. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I think Fox News is good for what they do, but I do think there's a level of control that they exert that is not exactly the healthiest for our democracy. | ||
| Although, to have Fox News, I mean, would I prefer not to have Fox News or to have Fox News? | ||
| I definitely prefer to have Fox News because at least there's one channel against the thousands that actually tries to promote some semblance of the truth. | ||
| They just aren't wholly good. | ||
| And, you know, they fired Tucker Carlson, who was their number one draw. | ||
| I mean, head and shoulders over everybody else. | ||
| Twice as many as, you know, the next highest rated person. | ||
| So if they were all about making money, I don't think they would have fired Tucker Carlson. | ||
| I think they have other interests that they're trying to protect in addition to all of that energy. | ||
| And of course, this is the way that our so-called democracy operates. | ||
| You control both sides. | ||
| You keep both sides fighting against each other, but firmly within the bounds that you set. | ||
| It's that classic, I mean, it's the Overton window, right? | ||
| You have very strict limits to conversation, but you allow very lively debate within that conversation. | ||
| I think Fox News plays its part to the detriment. | ||
| But also, you know, they also do talk about some stuff that other places don't talk about. | ||
| So, you know, they're not all bad, but they're certainly not all good either. | ||
| But thank you for that call. I do appreciate it. | ||
| We only have about a minute left. | ||
| Let's go to Ethan in Alabama because you have a comment that maybe we can get to quickly. | ||
| Line 7. Ethan in Alabama, thanks for calling in on the air. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ethan? Hey, man. | |
| Howdy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's just a lighter note, man. | |
| You have a great selection of music. | ||
| I heard Interpol. I heard At The Drive-In. | ||
| How old are you? Well, I'm 33, but I gotta credit... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I'm 33 too. | |
| Okay, no wonder we have the same music. | ||
| Okay. Okay, makes sense. | ||
| Yeah, my... If you hear theme songs to animes, that's me. | ||
| If you hear a lot of the cake, I add to it. | ||
| But you've got to give credit to our crew, and in particular, Sean, for putting together the audio. | ||
| If you do like the music on our show, go to AmericanJournal.info, and there's a link to Spotify, and we have a Spotify playlist where all of the music that we have on our show is You can subscribe to it or just listen to it totally free, of course, if you have Spotify. | ||
| So yeah, go to AmericanJournal.info and click the Spotify button and you can actually see the American Journal playlist right there. | ||
| So go check it out if you like the music, share it around, tell people where you heard it. | ||
| We'll be right back. All right, folks, back to your phone calls. | ||
| Here we'll try to take as many as possible for this segment before we welcome Jamie Hammons. | ||
| We thank you so much for however you interact with Infowars, whether it's sharing our links, Everything that we do here on American Journal can be found at AmericanJournal.info. | ||
| That gives you a link to the band.video site, to the official Rumble live stream, where I know a lot of people enjoy the chat function there. | ||
| You can also get the substack where we... | ||
| Publish all these articles if you want to go do more research and reading. | ||
| And of course, the social media that we have. | ||
| Things like TikTok and Instagram where we are continuing to publish almost daily, just on average daily posts of little snippets of our show that can hopefully bring awareness to what's going on in the world. | ||
| Still having some massive, unexpected success in places like South Africa. | ||
| Where we have like over half a million views on video about South Africa. | ||
| Before we go out to your phone calls, now we'll just go out to your phone calls actually. | ||
| I was just going to talk about some Twitter stuff, but I want to hear what you fine folks have to say. | ||
| Let's go to Rick in Mississippi. | ||
| You're predicting the dollar collapse. | ||
| Go ahead, Rick. You're on the air. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I was just having a thought, you know, that the dollar is going to collapse. | |
| I mean, that's what it looks like. | ||
| There's so many things going wrong. | ||
| Pharma sucks. | ||
| They're trying to give you a drug to give you a drug to give you a drug. | ||
| And I was just wondering if you knew anybody. | ||
| I know Mike Adams talked about it some. | ||
| That could, you know, you could do a segment with talking about natural stuff. | ||
| Like, just, you know, some of the stuff y'all sell. | ||
| Why iodine is so important or why, you know... | ||
| Different things that are grown in our yard to help you out in a collapsed situation. | ||
| Just to kind of educate us. | ||
| Because we've all bought the food. | ||
| I've got the food. I make my own food. | ||
| I've got my own freeze dryer. I've got my water filters. | ||
| I've got my guns and my ammo. | ||
| But, you know, at the end of the day, if something happens and I need help, it'd be pretty cool to be educated on what's grown in my yard. | ||
| Well, that's a good idea, and I'll think about that. | ||
| We'll see who—maybe we can have Mike Adams on, see if he can talk about, you know, all this sort of stuff. | ||
| But one thing you can do is go to Infowarsstore.com and get some of the books that we have there, you know, Joel Skousen's book and some others. | ||
| I mean, there's a lot of— You know, preparation book, which is probably more valuable than even me talking about it or, you know, a webpage showing you how to do it because if you have the physical book, the physical media that talks about this stuff, then even under a collapsed scenario, you will not be without that sort of guide. | ||
| So that might be a good way to be doing your own research, but I'll take that advice. | ||
| I'll think about it, Rick. We'll try to have somebody on to talk about this sort of stuff because, yeah, I mean, yeah, we're... | ||
| Again, we're getting to the crucible here. | ||
| We're getting to the most intense process, most intense part of this process where the outcome of everything will be decided, and we know that the people in charge, willing to do just about anything to stay at the top of the pyramid, I mean, if you think they don't care about Sticking to the intent of the law when it comes to charging people unfairly or just willing to break down precedents to do stuff that they aren't legally allowed to do. | ||
| They don't care about the law. They also don't care about human beings. | ||
| I mean, they released COVID after all. | ||
| So I don't think starting a nuclear war is beyond their purview. | ||
| I don't think... You know, just anything that they can do, they'll do. | ||
| Because to them, if they can't rule the world, then they'd rather see it burn. | ||
| And that's a very dangerous situation to be in, which should inform how we approach everything. | ||
| Let's go to Clown Car in Coney Island. | ||
| Clown Car, thank you so much for calling in. | ||
| You also have some advice for me, I think. | ||
| Go ahead, Clown Car. Honk Honk, you're on the air. | ||
| Honk Honk, how you doing, Harrison? | ||
| Listen, I was wondering... | ||
| How we can get back to that feel. | ||
| See, here in New York, after everybody lived through that orange, reddish, greenish haze that we all thought was so cool to take pictures of, the next day everybody was really, really nice to each other. | ||
| So I don't know what was in that ammonium nitrate, gas, air, smoke, fog, whatever you want to call it, haze from the Canada fires, you know, man. | ||
| They even play, like, cool songs, like, I forget who sings it, but it's probably, like, Arlo Guthrie or somebody. | ||
| And it's like, smoke rise from... | ||
| You see, but that's the other part, too. | ||
| When we were talking the other day, you mentioned that, you know, smoke from the forest would be white or it'd be grayish or, you know, not orange. | ||
| Not orange, yeah. Red, you know. | ||
| I mean, everybody was like, oh, look at this cool filter. | ||
| And it's like, that's not a filter. | ||
| We're breathing toxic poison. | ||
| And not only that, how come we've never... | ||
| figured out what was in that air. | ||
| I demand that our mayor of New York City figure out what was in that air since it was 800 times more than anything in the world New York City was the worst. | ||
| How can that be? And it's not in Canada it was the worst. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| I mean, I think the ammonium nitrate one is not that far off. | ||
| I mean, unless there's a level of coincidence that we're dealing with, but 60,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate goes missing, then all of a sudden there's these massive forest fires all across Canada breaking out exactly the same time, and then the smoke is orange, which is the color that ammonium nitrate smoke is. | ||
| So it's like... Believe it, believe it, believe it. | ||
| Everybody was... Oh, bless you, Jesus. | ||
| Thank you. Oh, it was incredible. | ||
| I thought I was in Florida, one of those little nice areas, you know, where people are nice to everybody for no reason. | ||
| I thought I was in Florida. | ||
| I said, what's going on? Like, everybody was so happy that they made it through. | ||
| But I don't want to hear nothing else about climate change, okay? | ||
| Until we stop these tic-tac-toe boards in the sky, we stop the smoke coming from other, you know, wouldn't that be considered an air assault? | ||
| Wouldn't that be, you know what I'm saying? | ||
| Like, isn't that poisoning us somehow? | ||
| So how do we not... Fight back. | ||
| How come we don't demand we knew what was in the air? | ||
| You know, I don't know if any of the studies that were looking into that have been completed yet, but I'll look into that as well. | ||
| But hey, it's a phenomenon, right? | ||
| You go through some sort of natural disaster and everybody in your neighborhood is suddenly best friends. | ||
| I mean, I always talk about it with hurricanes in Houston. | ||
| You know, growing up in Houston, going through hurricanes, it's like the best time ever was in the couple days after the hurricane, when everybody was just grilling out in their front lawn, nobody had power, everybody was just running around the streets. | ||
| It was kind of like, I wish we could have a hurricane like every couple weeks, just to reset things and let us all be a community for a little while, pretend for a little bit before we're isolated again. | ||
| It's kind of sad that it takes natural disasters to get people to realize that their fellow human beings are important and lovable. | ||
| But there we are. | ||
| Thank you for that call, Clown Car. | ||
| Let's go to Jefferson in Virginia now. | ||
| You say Trump's Pandora box comment makes no sense. | ||
| What do you mean by that, Jefferson? | ||
| Hey, good morning, Harrison. | ||
| Thanks for taking my call. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Yeah, by the time Trump gets back in office through election, Biden will have pardoned everybody that the special prosecutor would have been going after anyway. | ||
| So it's moot point, not going to make any difference. | ||
| Okay, yeah, I mean, that's interesting. | ||
| I'm always a little bit confused by the pardonability of the president because are you able to pardon somebody before they've been charged or convicted? | ||
| Yes. You are. | ||
| You're able to preemptively pardon somebody, even if they haven't been caught for a crime? | ||
| If there's an allegation that you've committed a crime, whether it's been proven or not, you can still be pardoned beforehand. | ||
| That's not the normal procedure, but there's no prohibition against it. | ||
| He can even pardon himself, and then it becomes a constitutional crisis where they argue about that For the next five years, and he's already dead by the time that the thing is resolved anyway. | ||
| So, you know, Biden doesn't have much to lose. | ||
| I think even if they're just, you know, again, they're not just going after, they wouldn't just be going after Joe Biden. | ||
| I mean, once you start pulling that thread, the whole thing unravels and there's probably dozens of people that are all implicated in all of this. | ||
| And because I assumed that, you know, part of it was that, you know, if you have a trial and the person's convicted and then you pardon them, you can't have another trial because that would be double jeopardy and you can't do, you know, two trials for the same charge. | ||
| But if you've never had a trial and you get pardoned, I don't see why you couldn't just launch a different trial. | ||
| I don't know. I don't know exactly how that works. | ||
| And the other thing to me is that like it seems like our side is the only one that is concerned about precedent. | ||
| Our side is the only side that's like oh well now we can do this because you did it. | ||
| It's like but they did it. | ||
| So they didn't have a precedent. | ||
| They just did it. | ||
| So like, I don't know why our side is obsessed with like, we won't do anything unless the Democrats do it first. | ||
| And then even when the Democrats do do it, we don't. | ||
| So I don't get the hesitance or the reticence to just do the things that need to be done. | ||
| And if you have to set a new precedent, well, the Democrats certainly aren't shy about breaking tradition or breaking from the way things are more typically resolved. | ||
| So why should we be held to those standards that they aren't? | ||
| So, yeah, it's like, yeah, they opened Pandora's box, but, you know, we could have opened it as well. | ||
| Like it's now that they've opened it, they're in control of it, I guess you could say. | ||
| All of the evil that is pouring out is aimed at the Republicans. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, you know, I don't know. | |
| I don't know if he's actually going to do anything, if he can do anything. | ||
| Certainly there are ways the Deep State will try to prevent him from doing anything. | ||
| We'll just have to see how it all plays out. | ||
| We'll be back on the other side with Jamie from Dash. | ||

|
Don't go anywhere. At the end of the day, any amount is too little and every amount is never enough. | |
| The Biden administration is officially asking the UN To come in and sanction the United States for reparations, saying that America was founded on slavery and is inherently evil, and that the UN should come in and help administer $5 million of U.S. taxpayer money to every black person. | ||
| The stolen men and women and children were brought to our shores and chains, subjected to unimaginable cruelty. | ||
| My nation's original sin was that period. | ||
|
unidentified
|
On December 16, 2005, the UN General Assembly reaffirmed the importance of providing reparations for gross violations of international human rights law by adopting a five-point legal framework for reparations. | |
| And that has become our norm. | ||
| Now, obviously, it's about a UN takeover. | ||
| Are they going to go to China and get reparations for the three million Muslim Uyghur slaves in Western China? | ||
| No. If you bring it up on a basketball court, they'll kick you off, like you've seen in the NBA. Yeah, nobody cares about what's happening to the Uyghurs, okay? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You bring it up because you really care, and I think that's nice that you care. | |
| Of all the things that I care about, yes, it is below my line. | ||
| No, no, no, no. It's all about America being bad and this carrot being dangled of go along with the U.N., go along with the world government, and it's going to give you reparations. | ||
| It's the U.N. building the refugee centers after they ran the lockdowns worldwide that starved over 50 million people in the last three and a half years to death. | ||
| They're murdering people en masse. | ||
| Paramilitary UN troops are slaughtering people all over the world. | ||

The hardest moment is thinking about leaving your country as you hear the sounds of explosions and gunfire. | |
| How can you go to a country for 20 years to stabilize and you don't stabilize and you think that you have succeeded in doing something? | ||
| I was on an airplane flying back and I said, let me just watch this show. | ||

|
Tell them the men in black sent you. | |
| So I want to see the propaganda in it. | ||
| And it was all about evil British white mercenaries enslaving a mythical African country that has this magical element in it similar to Black Panther and Wakanda. | ||
| And I'm sitting there watching the mercenaries. | ||
| You know who the mercenaries work for. | ||
| They work for really one of four or five groups, but it's... | ||
| The UN's the main group that has mercenaries slaughtering and enslaving just like the movie, literally. | ||
| And then there's China. | ||
|
unidentified
|
China's recently been accused of trying to take over Uganda's Seoul International Airport if the East African country fails to pay a $200 million loan for the expansion of the site. | |
| Over the last several decades, China has been pumping resources into Africa. | ||
| The country has invested hundreds of billions of dollars across the continent, ranging in everything from transportation and infrastructure to real estate and technology. | ||
| It's been found that if an African country recognizes Taiwan as a country, they receive, on average, 2.7 fewer Chinese infrastructure projects within their borders each year. | ||
| Conversely, if an African country votes overwhelmingly along with China in the United Nations General Assembly, they receive 1.8 more infrastructure projects each year. | ||
| Analysts have accused them of debt colonialism. | ||
| There are fears China is making loans it knows states cannot repay. | ||
| Beijing may engage in what critics characterize as debt-trap diplomacy, lending designed to force countries into handing over land, minerals and strategic assets. | ||
| China is among the world's top 10 largest contributors of troops to the UN. The country currently has about 80% of its blue beret-wearing peacekeepers deployed in Africa. | ||
| Chinese military observers, engineers, medics, police and other UN personnel help maintain peace and security, protect vulnerable groups. | ||
| See these movies, and the UN's the savior, and there's this UN group of superheroes that come to create stability and battle Black Adam because he's too violent, and they're the UN, and they're going to save the world, when it's the UN that is the biggest group running those lithium mines and those slave camps. | ||
| They run it, they control it, they get a big cut of the money from the multinational corporations. | ||
| And who gets 98% of rare earth minerals out of the ground in the world? | ||
| The cha-cha-cha-cha-chicoms. | ||
| So in most cases, the chicoms don't run the enslavement. | ||
| They run the civilian side of it, extracting it and controlling the slaves. | ||
| But the paramilitary camps are run by the UN on record. | ||
| But when you watch a movie from Hollywood, it's the UN saving everyone from the mercenaries. | ||

A lie, a lie, a lie. | |
| Alright, welcome back. Ladies and gentlemen, third hour of American Journal has begun. | ||
| I have in studio with me my guest Jamie Hammons of Dash. | ||
| Dash is an organization that documents Austin streets and epidemic of homelessness. | ||
| He's part of a team that works with homeless people to get them access to the services that they need. | ||
| And as part of that process, he documents homelessness and safety, public safety failures in the city of Austin. | ||
| Their website is dash atx.com or dot org rather dash atx dot org. | ||
| And you can follow them on Twitter at Documenting ATX. | ||
| Welcome back to the show, Jamie. | ||
| Hey, thanks for having me. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| Well, your life has changed quite a bit since last time you were on. | ||
| When were you on last? | ||
| Just a couple of months ago. | ||
| Yeah, it was a couple of months ago. | ||
| And of course, we just love the work that you do as a citizen journalist, as an activist, just going out and filming the very negative consequences of the homeless policy that the city of Austin pursues. | ||
| but since then you're going on Fox News. | ||
| You've got stories that you broke being covered internationally in places like the Daily Mail. | ||
| Tell us, what has brought about this big break of yours? | ||
| Well, you obviously know about a trail here in Austin, Violet Crown Trail. | ||
| Right. Is the crown jewel of Austin. | ||
| This area, it's been known as one of the larger homeless encampments for a while. | ||
| I've been trying to get into this camp for months, but safety-wise, we just haven't been able to do it. | ||
| It's obviously going into homeless camps with a camera. | ||
| It's just not something that most people want to do. | ||
| They don't take too kindly to it, typically. | ||
| Yeah, they don't. They don't. But we found a way in. | ||
| We actually came the back way from the trail, hiked in, and kind of amazed at what we found. | ||
| The trail, it's so bad. | ||
| There's literally so much trash. | ||
| That I'm not even sure if you could actually clean it up anymore. | ||
| It's that bad. There are trailers and cars. | ||
| I mean, we could smell it long before we actually got there. | ||
| But shot some video of it, posted it online, and literally within hours, it just went completely viral. | ||
| Well, and that's so great to see. | ||
| And of course, one of the reasons that we like having you on, of course, you do great work, but also to inspire other people because this is something that really anybody, if they're motivated, can go out and do in their own. | ||
| And it doesn't have to be about homelessness or anything else. | ||
| If there's something that you see and you're just frustrated, man, the news never covers this. | ||
| The local news doesn't cover it. | ||
| Every, you know, all of our neighbors care about this, but you know, Nothing's being done. | ||
| Well, go out and start capturing it. | ||
| Start filming it. Start putting it out there. | ||
| And, I mean, you've been doing this for a really long time. | ||
| How long have you been doing it? | ||
| About a year now, actually. A little over a year. | ||
| Well, longer than that, but, I mean, where it's been popular, and I've had an audience for about a year now. | ||
| Yeah, and in today's age with the technology that we have, everybody has a camera. | ||
| If you've got a smartphone, you have a camera. | ||
| Turn the camera on and video what's important to you. | ||
| Get it on social media. | ||
| It's the best way to counter the narrative for sure. | ||
| Absolutely. And, you know, don't get discouraged either. | ||
| I mean, after doing this for months and not seeing it picked up by national news, you know, not really paid attention to by the local news, I imagine it was pretty hard not to get discouraged. | ||
| Yeah, it was in the beginning. | ||
| You know, so we actually started getting popular last year. | ||
| And it, again, was because I walked off into a homeless camp and started taking videos. | ||
| But... If it's something that is important, it needs to be put out there. | ||
| Don't get discouraged. You know, you may only get a couple of thousand views here or there, but eventually, you know, if you keep the camera rolling, you're going to capture something that's going to take off. | ||
| It's going to happen, and it's important. | ||
| We can't trust the media today. | ||
| Mainstream media is completely dead, you know, and with the technology that we have, We're good to go. | ||
| You know, it's a shame that nobody covers this. | ||
| Like, why don't they cover it except, I guess, that it would show the failure of the policy of the people in power right now. | ||
| So they just want to hide and conceal that. | ||
| But, like, this is stuff that affects people's personal lives. | ||
| They should know it anyway because, like, if they're going, you know, let's go for a walk. | ||
| Hey, you know, let's go walk down this trail. | ||
| I mean, if they don't know what that trail is actually like, they could find themselves in sort of a dangerous situation stepping on needles or something. | ||
| So... Like, you know, why isn't this covered as much, do you think? | ||
| I mean, is it just the fact that it would reflect poorly on the Austin City Council? | ||
| You think that's all it is? I think it is. | ||
| So, for a long time, the city has been able to put their narrative out. | ||
| The homeless situation in this city is kind of hidden. | ||
| It's in the woods. People driving up and down the highways. | ||
| They don't see it. And basically, most of them don't really care. | ||
| That's one thing that I found out when I started posting these online is people didn't know about it. | ||
| I'm getting messages from people that lived within a football field of these homeless camps. | ||
| They had no clue that they were there. | ||
| Right. With the fires, as dry as things are getting at this time of year, people, their houses are in danger. | ||
| We had a councilman, I think we talked about it last time I was here, PropaneZo, where giving out propane tanks, it's causing fires. | ||
| But yeah, the city has been able to basically say what they wanted to say. | ||
| Adler last year was saying that they were going to end homelessness within a few years, and that is... | ||
| It's just absolutely crazy. | ||
| But then we come along, and that's why we've been able to get so popular, is because people are waking up to the fact that this is a huge problem here in Austin. | ||
| I'm getting phone calls and getting messages from people in other cities, Dallas, San Diego, New York. | ||
| They're wanting to do the same thing that I'm doing. | ||
| They just don't know how to get started with it. | ||
| So what would be your advice to somebody who wants to get started doing this? | ||
| I mean, obviously you can just go out and film, but that can be a little dangerous. | ||
| We don't want people just wandering into homeless camps, you know, filming. | ||
| That's not always good. That's not a great idea. | ||
| You know, over the last year, over the, you know, actually more than a year, we've learned some things about how to stay safe. | ||
| These folks, I always take a couple of cartons of smokes with me. | ||
| You know, obviously some pocket money to hand out. | ||
| When you're actually handing out some cigarettes, some money, things like that, it keeps you safe. | ||
| You know, like, hey, here's a couple of packs of smokes. | ||
| Can I take some video here? | ||
| You get in good with one person in a camp, they'll stick with you and kind of take you around and let us film. | ||
| And that's just, you know, some people say that's crazy to spend that kind of money to, you know, just get this video. | ||
| But... It keeps everybody happy, let's put it that way, and keeps us safe. | ||
| And that's my main goal. | ||
| I no longer go into these camps just by myself. | ||
| I used to. I have a guy who's actually here with me today that goes with me pretty much everywhere. | ||
| But yeah, if you wanted to start doing this, please be careful. | ||
| It's not smart to go into these homeless camps. | ||
| Some of them are very tame, and the folks there are easy to get along with. | ||
| And then some of them, like on the Violet Crown Trail, not so much. | ||
| There was a guy that was murdered there a month ago. | ||
| So you've got to be real careful, or you can find yourself in a bad position real quick. | ||
| Yeah, I know. I have personal experience with that because I know, and I think I told the story last time, but when the homeless camp, when they first passed the policy saying that homeless people could camp anywhere, I just went out to get some photos of it just to use with our story, just to sort of illustrate what the camps looked like. | ||
| And, man, I was just walking up like an idiot, just going, I'll just take a picture of this. | ||
| And I had people yelling at me and threatening me and brandishing weapons at me. | ||
| And it was just like, I was taking a picture of a public street. | ||
| I didn't realize I was putting my life in danger here. | ||
| And that's the crazy thing about it, is... | ||
| These are all public areas. | ||
| They're public trails, the green belts, the parks, the sidewalks. | ||
| And sadly, if I had to defend myself, I'm afraid that I would probably be charged with the DA that we have right now. | ||
| It's scary. So we're taking a big chance, but it's worth it. | ||
| Getting the word out about what's really happening, countering the narrative, it's important. | ||
| And we're getting more popular, so obviously people are wanting to watch this and hear about this stuff. | ||
| We're changing a lot of minds here in Austin, and not only in Austin, but we're starting a conversation in the country about homelessness and how it's impacting these cities and how it's impacting people's lives. | ||
| So that's a good thing. | ||
| We're starting the conversation, and hopefully it can continue. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. And of course, it's a conversation that's being had all over. | ||
| I mean, as bad as our situation is, San Francisco has it a heck of a lot worse. | ||
| LA has it. And yet, similar to Austin, you have these politicians get into office saying, my number one issue is homelessness. | ||
| We're going to solve homelessness. | ||
| You fast forward a couple years, they implement all of their policies. | ||
| Suddenly, homelessness has exploded. | ||
| It's two times as big as it ever was. | ||
| Now it's not just people that are down on their luck. | ||
| It's criminals that have come in to take advantage of the more lax laws that you've passed. | ||
| It's really a cycle of depression and allowing people to sort of succumb to the worst... | ||
| We need to fight back for everybody's sake. | ||
| And we'll get into that on the other side, the way that I think people don't cover this because they think somehow you're attacking homeless people by illustrating this. | ||
| Welcome back. Folks, in studio with me is Jamie Hammons. | ||
| He's a part of DASH, an organization that documents Austin's streets, an epidemic of homelessness. | ||
| He, of course, travels into the woods, just off the beaten trail here in Austin, and simply documents, simply films for everybody to see. | ||
| Well, the state of the homeless camps, really. | ||
| And you really have to see it to believe it. | ||
| I mean, you can describe it. | ||
| I can describe it to you. But if you're a radio listener, you've got to go watch the videos of this because it's almost indescribable the amount of trash some of these places has. | ||
| I mean, it's an ecological disaster. | ||
| It's ruining what should be pleasant places to take your family. | ||
| Instead, they become like little war zones and little... | ||
| Like danger zones. You can follow Jamie and Dash on their website, dashatx.org, or on Twitter at DocumentingATX. | ||
| So there's so much to get into. | ||
| There's also this thing about a serial killer in Austin that I want to get into with you because I know you're sort of on the forefront of that. | ||
| Let's stick with the homelessness stuff first. | ||
| Austin's not the only place dealing with this. | ||
| California, of course, is like the headquarters of homelessness in this country, and it's this constant cycle where they go, we're going to tackle homelessness. | ||
| Homelessness is our number one issue. | ||
| You fast forward a couple years, and homelessness is worse than it's ever been, significantly worse than it's ever been. | ||
| there's more homeless the homeless people are are crazier and being more violent look i don't hate anybody for being homeless i don't hate the homeless i feel sorry for a lot of homeless people and every person has a different path that they've taken to get to where they are so you know we're not casting aspersions on just the homeless population as a whole but obviously you know it's not something that i don't you know i don't want home people camping in my backyard for sure and i'm not hateful for thinking that uh but just you know what is going on here what's going on | ||
| Why do they not learn their lesson? | ||
| Is this intentional? | ||
| Or is it stupidity, right? | ||
| To me, these are the only two options. | ||
| So I think there's two things going on. | ||
| And I've done a lot of thinking about this, about why this happens. | ||
| And I think a lot of it with the politicians, with voters, you know, especially here in Austin. | ||
| It's a very Democratic, you know, Democrat-run city. | ||
| And they're trying to appease the voters at the same time, you know, trying to appear like they're helping. | ||
| It's doing nothing but making the problem worse. | ||
| Here in Austin, for example, they have the Housing First Initiative. | ||
| Basically, if you want, you know, they'll put you in housing. | ||
| No services, no requirements, nothing. | ||
| So these folks, they go into housing. | ||
| They're there for a week, but then they're right back out on the street because they didn't have access to any rehabilitation, any services for drugs, alcohol. | ||
| So they're back on the street. | ||
| Now, from what I can tell and from what I'm told... | ||
| The city takes federal dollars, so they're pretty much mandated to use that Housing First initiative from the federal government if they want that money. | ||
| So obviously they're not going to stray away from the dollar. | ||
| But at the same time, they're playing politics with the whole situation. | ||
| There's humans out there suffering in the woods, but they think that leaving them there to their own device, that's what they want, the body autonomy. | ||
| It goes back to that argument about... | ||
| You know, it's just this whole leftist principle that they're using, and obviously it's not working, but again, they're not going to stray. | ||
| They're not going to stray that course and alienate their voters. | ||
| Which is so sort of odd to me because I've even seen posts on social media where, you know, it's people going, oh, I just saw a tent pop up, you know, in the creek behind my backyard. | ||
| I'm going to go serve these guys dinner and, you know, make sure they have enough stuff. | ||
| And it's, I just, I just don't understand it. | ||
| Cause it's like, you're not helping anybody. | ||
| You're not, you're not helping these guys who, you know, maybe they're struggling with drug addiction. | ||
| Maybe they, you know, I doubt they want to be home. | ||
| I mean, either they don't want to be homeless, in which case, why would you want to keep them homeless? | ||
| Or they do want to be homeless. | ||
| In which case they're welcome to just, you know, it doesn't have to be a burden on you. | ||
| It's a choice they're making. | ||
| So, uh, it seems crazy to me that you have people who are, I mean, their property values are going down. | ||
| The parks behind their house are no longer safe. | ||
| Their children can't go play out there because you've got people that are living out there that are, you know, whatever, like burning the forest down. | ||
| I mean, how do you keep voting for this? | ||
| That's another thing I just don't understand. | ||
| Well, people are waking up. | ||
| They're waking up to the fact... | ||
| That it's getting worse. | ||
| It's coming in. It's more into the cities. | ||
| It's more into your backyard. | ||
| It's coming to the cities. | ||
| And when it happens and they call for help and they're told there's basically nothing that can happen, the police are not going to help. | ||
| They wake up. What do you do at that point when you have an actual homeless camp in your yard or on your land? | ||
| What do you do when you're told that we can't help you? | ||
| That's the craziest part because obviously a few years ago they passed this ordinance that says basically if it's public property homeless people can camp on it anywhere in the city except of course in front of City Hall. | ||
| City Hall is the one place they exempted from this because Well, they're the ones that make the rules. | ||
| And they said, yes, anywhere you want, just not where we work. | ||
| Very convenient. And they don't even work there because of COVID. But regardless, I mean, it's all insane. | ||
| Three days a week. Yeah, three days a week still to this day, three years after the pandemic. | ||
| But that's a whole different issue. | ||
| But on top of the public property thing, you were just telling me during the break that it's private property as well. | ||
| This is insane to me. | ||
| Tell me. I ran into a guy, this was several months ago, he has some property down in South Austin by the shooting range called The Range. | ||
| He had a homeless encampment that moved in. | ||
| Now, this is not a, it's a lot, so it's not where he has a home, so he's not there all the time. | ||
| But he had a homeless encampment move in there, and we're talking probably anywhere between 50 and 100 homeless folks living there. | ||
| So the city was coming out and their street team were coming out, handing them clothes, food. | ||
| He came out and he called the cops. | ||
| Hey, I need some help. | ||
| There's a huge homeless camp. | ||
| They've trashed my property. | ||
| On my private property. | ||
| On my private property with a gate, with signs, the whole nine yards and was told that he had to take them to court and get them out. | ||
| The cops would not make them leave. | ||
| So make a long story short, once he finally got them off of his land and we were out there the day that they were cleaning, the day he had to spend $17,000 to clean up the mess that they had left over because not only would they not help him get them off of his property, to clean up the mess that they had left over because not only would they not help him but the mess that they had left, you could see it from the street, and code enforcement were starting to fine him because of the mess that was on his property. | ||
| So $17,000, we were out there the day that he was cleaning. | ||
| There's probably 70 shopping carts that he had piled up there. | ||
| Walmart, Target, Dollar General, you name it. | ||
| They were all there. None of the stores would take them back. | ||
| So he tried to take them to a scrapyard. | ||
| The scrapyard would not take them. | ||
| Because they're branded. Because they're branded, yeah. | ||
| So they're still sitting on the property. | ||
| To this day, you can drive down 35 and see them. | ||
| But the guy, I feel real bad for the guy. | ||
| When we were out there that day that he had the crew out there, we're talking backhoes, trailers, the whole nine yards. | ||
| The street team showed up that day, the outreach team, and he lost it on them. | ||
| I can imagine. Yeah, he basically, the poor man, you know, I feel bad for the guy. | ||
| Yeah. You know, he spent a lot of money and the street team is back out there wanting to know, you know, what he's doing and this and that. | ||
| And so, yeah, it's a shame. | ||
| So if you, you know, if you have a homeless camp on your private property, you call EPD. They're really not going to help. | ||
| they will send you to code enforcement or they will send you to the courts and have you evict them. | ||
| Evict them. | ||
| So you've got people living on your private property. | ||
| The Austin government is facilitating that by giving them food and, like, things that they need to survive on your property. | ||
| And then code enforcement is coming and fining you for the mess that they make, even though they won't kick them off the property. | ||
| I mean, it's burdens beyond anything. | ||
|

|
It's crazy. Alright, welcome back ladies and gentlemen. | |
| My guest Jamie Hammonds runs DASH or is at least a primary mover in DASH. It stands for Documenting Austin Streets and Epidemic of Homelessness. | ||
| DashATX.org on Twitter at DocumentingATX. | ||
| I want to thank you for making time in your busy schedule. | ||
| You are a very sought-after man these days since the Violet Crown video went totally viral, picked up by Daily Mail and Fox News. | ||
| You've been asked to go on a bunch of shows. | ||
| I know some of your Fox News appearances got preempted by the indictment. | ||
| I know that happens to other people I know that have gone on Fox. | ||
| It's like, well, Trump's doing something. | ||
| You got away today. So are you still scheduled to go on these shows? | ||
| And just what's it been like for you getting on these requests? | ||
| Gosh, I tell you what, we put that video out and literally that same day, phone calls started coming in from media. | ||
| It really hit the next morning. | ||
| Actually, one of the reporters from Fox News called me that afternoon and did a story. | ||
| And that went on their website. | ||
| And once it hit their website, you know, it just like wildfire. | ||
| So there for a bit last week, I was turning down interview requests and appearances on shows. | ||
| It's slowed down right now, but I'm still going to be doing Fox primetime with Jesse Waters, hopefully here in the next day or so. | ||
| But yeah, we hit Daily Mail. | ||
| That was a big one. Some folks, I don't know if it ever made it, but USA Today had called and talked to me for a little bit. | ||
| But yeah, it started getting to the point where I couldn't keep up with it. | ||
| It's a very good problem to have, especially after all the hard work you've done. | ||
| Again, that's why we want to bring you on and people like you on to show, like, look... | ||
| Just keep plugging away. Keep doing what you know works. | ||
| And even if it's not immediately effective, eventually it will break through if you're doing things right. | ||
| You keep leveling up. | ||
| Your equipment is getting better. | ||
| Your videos are getting better. | ||
| So, you know, it's so great to see you getting the recognition that you deserve. | ||
| And thank you for coming on InfoWars. | ||
| I know I see on Twitter you'll post that you're coming on InfoWars and people try to warn you away from us. | ||
| No, no. Don't do it. | ||
| Don't go on Infowars. And it's like they have this idea of us when in reality we just think what you're doing is effective citizen journalism that needs to be celebrated, needs to be highlighted. | ||
| Hopefully by getting it out to our very sizable audience, we can help progress what you're trying to do and hopefully just contribute to your mission, which is to just bring awareness to this so we can actually have a conversation about it and find solutions. | ||
| So thank you for not listening to the haters. | ||
| We appreciate it. People, you know, they buy into the narrative that Infowars is the devil. | ||
| You know, I mean, it's been said. | ||
| So, and people buy into that narrative. | ||
| And like I was telling you during the break, you know, I've listened to Alex Jones since, you know, I was a little kid on the radio. | ||
| So, you know, if you, and that goes back to, you know, picking up your camera and taking video. | ||
| It's breaking through that narrative. | ||
| You know, the narrative that you've been given about Infowars is completely wrong. | ||
| But, you know, as far as picking up your camera and going out and videoing, start putting it on social media. | ||
| You'll start building up your following. | ||
| And, you know, we have a very good following. | ||
| You know, our people that watch... | ||
| You know, they'll donate money. | ||
| We've been able to upgrade cameras, audio equipment. | ||
| So, you know, we've got a whole production going, and we've been able to do that because we have a very loyal following. | ||
| And that really all started from my last appearance here as well. | ||
| So, yeah, I mean, pick up a camera and go video for sure. | ||
| Well, and I know other people have reached out to you and sort of want you to come. | ||
| I don't know if they want you to sort of teach how to do this or set up sort of a dash platform. | ||
| Yeah. You know, an extra franchise it almost, or what they're asking you to do. | ||
| But I think it's a wonderful thing. | ||
| Again, you know, we know that... | ||
| So you've gotten a lot of requests from national media, but not a lot of local media. | ||
| You know, funny that you mention that. | ||
| Not one person from... | ||
| Well, I'll take it back. I've... | ||
| I made a little post on Twitter about that, and as soon as I did, I had some people messaging me like, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, you know, hold on. | ||
| We're going to get to it. We're going to get to it. | ||
| I'm not going to name names, but yeah, so far they haven't gotten to it. | ||
| But this was last week. | ||
| Yeah, not one local outlet has even mentioned it. | ||
| So it's surprising. | ||
| It really surprised me. | ||
| Literally international news about Austin and it's not even reported in the Austin local. | ||
| Not a blurb. Which is why it's important for a citizen journalist like yourself to go out there and capture it. | ||
| So I know we've talked a little bit about what people can do, but in terms of what your organization's doing, are you helping to create other or to help other people get started in this? | ||
| Yeah, I talked to a gentleman out of Dallas. | ||
| I talked to him yesterday, or I believe it was yesterday I talked to him, wanting us to help. | ||
| He's wanting to put a team together in Dallas to basically do what we're doing. | ||
| And he's wanting us to help them, show them what we've learned over the last year about how to be safe, how to get the footage and be safe doing it. | ||
| You know, where to post it, how to post it, you know, how to get the attention on it. | ||
| And it's not just that, you know, there's groups, there's a group out of New York called Unsafe Streets. | ||
| You know, they're looking to do the same thing. | ||
| And so there are groups around the country that really want to kind of, you know, model what we have done and do the same thing in their cities. | ||
| And again, some cities it's going to be harder. | ||
| You know, Austin is a very... | ||
| Austin's a very laid-back city. | ||
| Even the homeless folks are a little more laid-back. | ||
| So, you know, I'm not sure. | ||
| We're going to be going up to Dallas to do some filming, so we'll see how that goes. | ||
| But I'm interested to see if it's going to be different or not. | ||
| I figure it would be. | ||
| Because like I said... Most of the homeless here in Austin are pretty drugged up, so they're pretty laid back most of the time. | ||
| Right. Now, you do get some of the guys that are on, you know, some of the different types of drugs that make them go a little nuts. | ||
| So, you know, I see them today, and they're completely fine, but tomorrow they're out of their mind, and that happens a lot. | ||
| And that's scary. I mean, you don't, you know, it's like dealing with a, well, I don't... | ||
| I want to compare people to dogs, but, you know, it's like there's a certain thing where it's like, I don't know if you're going to flip out on me right now because you see it in their eye. | ||
| I've had it with people, you know, you're walking down the street and there's a homeless guy, like, muttering to himself and rocking back and forth, and you're just like, you might be harmless, but at the same time, I don't know what you're capable of. | ||
| I mean, that's a scary situation to be in. | ||
| You know, just going back to sort of the political aspect of this, there's an aspect of politics where, like, There's no concern about effectiveness of policies. | ||
| They implement something, and the way it should go is you go, okay, our goal is this. | ||
| You implement something, and then you compare, okay, did we reach that goal? | ||
| Did we exceed the goal? Did we not make it? | ||
| What can we do better? It seems like their goal is to eliminate homelessness. | ||
| The outcome is that homelessness gets significantly worse, and then they just double down and do it again. | ||
| And we see this in liberal cities around the country. | ||
| I mean, there's just no concern, I guess, about effectiveness of policies. | ||
| It's all about the intention that they have behind the policies. | ||
| Well, here around the country, they have what's called a point-in-time count that happens in all these cities. | ||
| And it's a way to measure the number of homelessness. | ||
| So in one night, ECHO is who does it here in Austin. | ||
| It's an organization called ECHO. They have a team of people. | ||
| It's all volunteers. They go out. | ||
| They do this count at night for whatever reason. | ||
| I'm not sure why. But you have people going into these homeless camps and trying to count. | ||
| It is... So inaccurate, it's laughable. | ||
| Right. But that's how they're measuring success or failure. | ||
| And, you know, so right now, ECHO, I can't remember the exact number off the top of my head, but it's around 2,500 is what ECHO says the official number is. | ||
| And that's where the city is going to measure their effectiveness if their policies are working. | ||
| Even ECHO will say that it may be a little off. | ||
| And we're talking probably... | ||
| Maybe 4,000 off. | ||
| I mean, it's a lot off. | ||
| So, you know, when they're getting information and they're relying on information that's that inaccurate, I'm not sure how you could measure, you know, the success of your programs if your information is that bad. | ||
| Right, right. I mean, and they do say they want to end homelessness, yet all of their policies, you know, only increase homelessness. | ||
| And it doesn't seem like anything they do is helping the homeless people either no longer be homeless or even, you know, be safer and healthier as homeless people. | ||
| Because, you know, at least if there's going to be homeless camps, I'd rather them not be filthy and trash filled and needle ridden and drugged out, right? | ||
| Well, you would think that they would start offering some kind of services. | ||
| With homelessness... | ||
| You have to start treating the symptom. | ||
| You've got to start treating the cause. | ||
| There's always going to be a cause of why somebody's homeless. | ||
| If it's mental, drug, alcohol, you've got to treat those issues before you can ever start to solve homelessness. | ||
| And there are some private charities that I think are extremely effective in this. | ||
| They just don't have the support of the government, I guess. | ||
| I guess they're too effective. | ||
| I don't know. We'll be back on the other side with our final segment. | ||
| Talk about the serial killer in Austin. | ||
| Is there one? No. | ||
| We might have an idea. | ||
| All right, folks. | ||
| Final segment of American Journal here on this 13th of June. | ||
| In the studio with me is Jamie Hammons of Dash-ATX.org at DocumentingATX.org. | ||
| You told me during the break the amount of money that Austin spends on the homeless. | ||
| How much do they spend every year? | ||
| So they have about $500 million a year set aside for homelessness for the different programs that they have. | ||
| And we're still in this shape. | ||
| That's half a billion a year. | ||
| Half a billion dollars a year. | ||
| We call it the homeless and industrial complex. | ||
| Yeah. Because of the amount of money that is flowing around. | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| And I guess that would include the cleanups that they do, the outreach where they're giving things to people. | ||
| But it does not include the police resources that are constantly being expended dealing with the homelessness issue. | ||
| That doesn't spend the $17,000 it took that property owner to clean up the mess from the homeless. | ||
| So, I mean, $500 million, already a staggering number, but probably... | ||
| Maybe half of what they actually end up spending. | ||
| Every time you get a police scan or something in Austin, every couple minutes there's a call about a homeless person with a machete or naked having a meltdown on the street. | ||
| I mean, it is complete, constant insanity, which means they can't deal with other stuff like shoplifting or just petty crimes. | ||
| Those have to get put to the side while they deal with the homeless issue that they created. | ||
| Well, you know, down on 290 in Pac Saddle, there was a huge camp that they cleared out there not long ago. | ||
| It said that it was not coming back. | ||
| But in order to keep these camps that they clean, if they wanted to keep them actually cleaned out, they would need a dedicated police force to do nothing but patrol the homeless camps. | ||
| So it's almost impossible to, you know, we usually... | ||
| You can clean out an encampment, but within two weeks it's already back. | ||
| So it's just a rinse and repeat and we'll do it. | ||
| And it's all over the city. So what's the answer to that? | ||
| I'm not sure, other than enforcing the camping ban, which is not being done right now. | ||
| Right. Even though we had a plebiscite, even though we all went and voted and said, we want to repeal this camping measure that says you can camp anywhere, even though George Soros poured in half a million dollars to try to convince people to vote to allow homeless people to camp everywhere, we rejected it, and yet they don't care. | ||
| It's crazy. They put it to a vote. | ||
| People in Austin voted. | ||
| We said we want a camping ban, and they just completely ignore us, basically. | ||
| Yeah, they are. You know, they... | ||
| I like to say they selectively enforce. | ||
| You know, they'll enforce it here, they'll enforce it there. | ||
| Like the pack saddle camp. | ||
| They enforced it after the businesses in the area started making a huge amount of noise about it, and it hit the media. | ||
| Once that happened, that camp was gone. | ||
| So, you know, it just, you know, it depends. | ||
| It depends on the area. | ||
| I know up Mackenzie Kelly, the councilwoman, up in her area, it stays relatively clean. | ||
| She pushes to make that happen. | ||
| There was a camp on Lake Creek Parkway, Lake Creek and Pecan up there in North Austin that was a massive camp. | ||
| It was dirty, nasty. | ||
| People were living in the trees. | ||
| It was horrible. | ||
| And she got that cleaned out and got people into services very quickly once she found out that it was there. | ||
| So, again, it just, I think, depends on the area as well. | ||
| If you look at my map, which I wish I could have gotten that to you, you will see that there is basically a comma that sits on Austin. | ||
| It basically starts up north and goes down through East Austin and then down and wraps around South Austin. | ||
| So, yeah, there you go. | ||
| Yeah, so total selective enforcement, they sort of pick and choose, you know, whether or not they want to listen to the will of the people. | ||
| And, of course, you know, like I just pointed out, I mean, and it's, this is like ubiquitous, right? | ||
| We're talking about Austin, we're talking about homelessness, but really you can sort of apply this idea to so much of what we deal with in America, you know, makes me think of like the border where it's just like all the money, all the resources, all the time and energy that's spent dealing with this problem that shouldn't be a problem in the first place. | ||
| What else could we do with that? | ||
| And now, like, they're not—they won't respond to 911 calls unless it's like a—you're about to die. | ||
| They just won't respond. You're basically on your own. | ||
| And, you know, all of this sort of contributes to this sense of lawlessness in Austin, and there's a particular— A series of events that's occurred that I know you've been on top of. | ||
| I haven't really been able to look into it too much, so hopefully you can break it down for us. | ||
| Is there a serial killer in Austin? | ||
| Well, I guess it just depends on the way you look at it. | ||
| So I'll say this. | ||
| There has been a series of deaths that's been in Lady Bird Lake. | ||
| Let's just look at this year alone. | ||
| There's been a handful, five of them this year alone, where the men started out on Rainy Street and the bars in the area there, and they ended up dead in the water and found several days after they went missing. | ||
| So you tell me what the odds are that these men start at the same place, end up dead at the same place, and they all basically follow the same demographic. | ||
| They're younger, anywhere between 25 and 35, and most of them are Hispanic or Hispanic-looking, and they end up dead in the water. | ||
| I'm in contact with all of these men with their family. | ||
| They've helped me with the facts. | ||
| You can't get facts from the police department. | ||
| You can't get a FOIA right now. | ||
| Working with the families to look at what's happened. | ||
| The thing that gets me is most of these cases, the police departments say that it is an accidental death. | ||
| But they keep the case open. | ||
| They don't close the case. | ||
| It's active but suspended. | ||
| Randy Lexvold, he was found in 2018. | ||
| This man, they said it was an accidental death. | ||
| Again, he was in Shoal Creek. | ||
| But his femur was broken. | ||
| His ribs were broken. His thumbs were broken. | ||
| His collarbone was broken. | ||
| His scapula was broken. | ||
| And he had a hole in his forehead. | ||
| But they say that he fell off a bridge and hit the water, and all of those deaths, or all of those injuries happened because he fell. | ||
| I just don't buy it, so... | ||
|

|
Yeah, that's a little suspicious. | |
| Now, I noticed the crew was bringing up some graphics. | ||
| There was, like, a serial killer in Austin that was caught recently, but that's not what we're... | ||
| That's something different than what we're... | ||
| I guess we have multiple serial killers in Austin. | ||
| Looks like we're going to have two. Good Lord. Yeah, competing serial killers. | ||
| But this is a... So far it's all speculation. | ||
| The police have not commented on it one way or the other, really, have they? | ||
| I mean, they haven't said there's not a serial killer and they haven't said there is and we're looking for one. | ||
| They just, they find these dead bodies, they say it looks like an accidental death, and they sort of, as far as I can tell, they've refused to Yeah, and that's the interesting thing about this is they issue these canned messages, you know, these obviously pre-written, it's just a blob of text, basically. | ||
| They are not talking about this at all. | ||
| Even people that have knowledge of it that I've talked to in the past, they're keeping their lips sealed. | ||
| So I've been told from several people, I have some buddies that I've met through this that are retired investigators from Austin. | ||
| They say that the most likely reason that they're being this tight-lipped is because there is an investigation ongoing. | ||
| And that follows what we've heard from some of the bartenders on Rainy Street that they have seen the Texas Rangers and the FBI in the area asking questions about this, about druggings, about the men that have gone missing. | ||
| So we think that there is an investigation ongoing and that's why they're not saying a word yet. | ||
| But I guess we'll see here. | ||
| Hopefully pretty soon. They can't just ignore this completely. | ||
| Yeah. And I mean, it's like you got to get to the bottom of what's happening because either it's a serial killer or like there's some sort of sinkhole that people are falling in or something because it makes no sense. | ||
| These guys start off, if people don't know, you know, Sixth Street is kind of like our Bourbon Street. | ||
| I mean, it's just it's a big tourist attraction, which would also be why maybe they wouldn't want Information getting out that it's dangerous to go there because that could make a big dent in the amount of money that flows through Austin from the tourists. | ||
| So very suspicious stuff. | ||
| And then the Shoal Creek thing. I used to live on Shoal Creek. | ||
| It's like six inches of water. | ||
| So to claim that you're drowning in that water is... | ||
| It's all very suspicious. | ||
| I know you've drawn a lot of attention to this and are asking questions that... | ||
| Seem to be obvious questions to ask, so hopefully you can stick with that and do more with your citizen journalism. | ||
