Nigel Farage
paul joseph watson
being cancelled by his own bank is a huge wake-up call as to how far the Chinese-style social credit score has advanced in the UK.
But it's also a damning indictment of the media and the fact-checker industrial complex.
Farage revealed that Cootes had closed his account earlier this month, asserting that it was because of his political opinions.
He was then rejected by at least seven other banks when trying to open a new account.
The media, particularly the BBC, then lied about the reason for the account closure, amplifying and legitimising Cootes' false claim that it was because Farage had failed to meet a £1 million account threshold.
Well, now we know what actually happened, and it completely venerates the veracity of Farage's initial assertion.
Last year in November, top brass at Cootes met to discuss Exiting Farage as a customer.
They produced a 36-page dossier detailing the reasons for cancelling his account.
His friendship with Donald Trump, his meeting with tennis star Novak Djokovic, his opposition to Net Zero and his criticism of King Charles.
As well as his support for Brexit.
Quote, distasteful comments made by Farage that conflicted with the bank's position on ESG diversity.
The document clearly spells out that the main reason was, quote, his publicly stated views were at odds with our position as an inclusive organisation.
Chief amongst Farage's sins was retweeting a Ricky Gervais joke.
nigel farage
And, I mean, try this for size.
Even when I retweeted this clip of Ricky Gervais, which they describe in the report as a transphobic comedy sketch.
Well, you watch it. You make your minds up.
unidentified
Old-fashioned women. Oh, God.
You know, the ones with wombs.
Those f***ing dinosaurs.
No, I love the new women.
I know the new women. They're great, aren't they?
You know the new ones we've been seeing lately?
The ones with beards and ****s.
They're as good as... They're as good as gold.
I love them. No, it's the old-fashioned...
And now the old-fashioned... They're like, oh, they want to use our toilets!
Why shouldn't they use your toilets?
For ladies! They are ladies!
Look at their pronouns! What about this person isn't a lady?
Well, his penis.
Her penis, you bigots!
nigel farage
Well, I still think it's brilliant, and I was very happy to tweet it out.
I just hope, for Ricky Gervais's sake, that he doesn't bank with Cootes.
paul joseph watson
There's also a direct admission in this dossier that, yes, Farage did in fact have enough money in his account.
Quote, the client's economic contribution is now sufficient to retain on a commercial basis, which completely demolishes the BBC's claim that Cootes closed Farage's account for not meeting a balanced threshold.
Cootes cancelled Farage because of his political opinions and then lied about it to the media.
Primarily the BBC, which swallowed this guff wholesale and then reported it as fact.
The irony of this is particularly delicious since the BBC recently unveiled its Verify service.
Which purports to fact-check and prevent the spread of misinformation.
Yet they've now been caught red-handed purveying one of the most egregious examples of misinformation so far this year.
John Sopel, BBC reporter, arrogantly claiming Farage's account was closed because he was, quote, misinformation.
Paul Mason, former BBC journalist, during a guest appearance on a BBC talk show, claiming the account closure was due to money laundering rules.
unidentified
This is a complete red herring.
paul joseph watson
If your bank account was closed, it probably wouldn't be a red herring for you.
unidentified
It's a complete red herring.
What's happening is that there are international rules on money laundering.
paul joseph watson
Misinformation. The BBC's Simon Jack claiming Farage fell below the financial threshold required to hold an account at Cootes.
Misinformation. Maybe the BBC should start verifying the garbage produced by its own journalists before pointing the finger at everyone else.
harrison smith
All right, folks, that is the latest from Paul Joseph Watson.
It's called Farage Was Right, now available at band.video and infowars.com.
We will be back on the other side to give you your daily dispatch.
The 20th of July, unless I'm mistaken, is the anniversary.
The anniversary of what?
Still can't tell. It was either the moon landing or the faking of the moon landing.
Either way, America number one.
We'll be back on the other side.
It's the American Journal, InfoWars.com, band.video.
unidentified
Share those links. It's Thursday, July 20th, 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.
harrison smith
All right, good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to The American Journal.
Infowars.com, band.video.
Lots of videos to show you today.
Going over a little bit of what happened yesterday in Washington, D.C. with the IRS whistleblowers and the FBI. Well, if you're joined in the third hour by Mark Ivanyo, he's going to tell you how you can take over your precinct, take over your precinct, take over your city, take over your state, take over the country, and then we save the world.
Actually, it's actually how it's going to work if it's going to work at all.
So very, very excited to talk to him in the third hour.
Boy, do we have some silly, silly stories for you today.
just hilarious.
Let's go ahead and get into it with your daily dispatch.
All right, here it is, folks.
Your daily dispatch for Thursday, the 20th of July, 2023.
S&P of Scotland admits to felling 16 million trees to develop wind farms.
Almost 16 million trees have been chopped down on publicly owned land in Scotland to make way for wind farms.
An S&P minister had admitted a major drive to erect more turbines.
Myrie Gougen, the Rural Affairs Secretary, estimated that 15.7 million trees had been felled since 2000 in land that is currently managed by Agency Forestry and Land Scotland, the equivalent of more than 1,700 per day.
Dear God.
I mean, just the sheer scale is incredible.
She insisted there was, I mean, that's That's wild.
That's 100 trees per daylight hour, basically.
If you're basically chopping down trees while the sun is up, rounding it out, just to make the math easy, it's like 17 hours.
100 trees a day for 23 years.
To build wind turbines.
That's incredible. She insisted there was a planting presumption in favor of protecting woodland and wind farm developers would be expected to undertake compensatory planting elsewhere.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. You know, that doesn't make sense, though.
Because when you chop down a tree, that took like 100, 200 years to grow.
Yeah. You're not just going to go planted different.
Although the ones they planted probably are...
It's all nonsense.
It's all complete insanity.
Scotland already has turbines theoretically capable of generating 8.4 gigawatts of power, well over half of UK's total, but S&P ministers want to add another 8 to 12 gigawatts.
But you know what? Maybe they used them as biofuel.
Maybe they were chopping down 16 million trees and then burning them instead of coal and then calling it carbon neutral and giving themselves a pat on the back and a gigantic tax break.
The climate change scam.
The most transparent scam of all time.
Maybe the most deadly as well.
Meanwhile, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene shows off X-rated pics of Hunter Biden with a woman while questioning IRS whistleblower.
First son Hunter Biden was put on full frontal display during Wednesday's House Oversight Committee hearing.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene caused a stir when she pulled out photos of the now 53-year-old in compromising positions with a series of women while she peppered newly unmasked IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler with questions.
To kick off her questioning, Green warned viewers that, quote, parental discretion is advised and cautioned that, quote, the following images are disturbing.
And then she showed images, basically pornographic images of Hunter Biden with tiny little boxes over the gonads.
But I don't know.
I'm sort of torn on this.
Frankly, I think it was a stupid move.
I think it was a stupid... Like, publicity thing.
I think it completely overshadowed the actual devastating bombshell testimony that the IRS whistleblowers were putting forward.
I mean, it got a lot of attention.
Maybe this made people aware of the Hunter Biden laptop that other people weren't aware of.
I don't know. I just think it was kind of stupid and counterproductive, quite frankly.
That being said, I will not...
I will not sit quietly by while the Democrats act outraged and offended that this was shown on the congressional floor.
These people are trying to put more graphic stuff than that.
More explicit images in your children's elementary school library.
So their outrage is purely performative.
Yeah. So, you know, who cares what they have to say?
Also, you know, very, very telling that they aren't mad that Marjorie Taylor Greene was showing fake Russian disinformation on the floor of Congress, because wasn't that what you said the Hunter Biden laptop was?
To me, you know, when looking at this, they're outraged.
Oh boy, are they outraged.
They're very outraged that she would show these images on the congressional floor.
Are you more outraged that she showed the images or are you more outraged that for one thing these images exist, for another they were censored off the internet in cooperation with the deep state as the government engaged in a total full-spectrum censorship campaign To blot out from public awareness the blackmail material that the vice president or the now president's son had on this laptop by lying to Congress and saying it was lying to everybody and saying it was Russian disinformation.
I don't know. That to me is sort of like an existential threat to the continuation of our sovereign republic.
So yeah, sorry she showed some dirty pictures on the floor of Congress.
Get over it. Our country's going down.
Meanwhile, act of God, a tornado rips through Pfizer plant, destroys 50,000 pallets of product.
A Pfizer manufacturing plant in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, was severely damaged by a tornado on Wednesday, damaging around 50,000 pallets stocked with Big Pharma products.
A local news report showed the massive amount of destruction and noted that no serious injuries have been reported.
The Pfizer manufacturing plant was damaged.
It went from pitch black, from sunshine to pitch black to the mayor of a nearby town.
We're just thankful there were no lost lives.
No, in fact, we...
No one could even really know how many lives were saved by this tornado.
So we don't know if it was the vaccine that was destroyed there, but...
One can only hope. Meanwhile, from Infowars.com, Japan to deploy pre-crime style behavior detection technology.
The Japan National Police Agency has decided to adopt AI enhanced pre-crime surveillance cameras to bolster security measures surrounding VIPs.
This step comes in response...
To the commemoration of the shocking assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and the rising threat posed by what the government called lone offenders.
The use of AI in law enforcement is becoming commonplace globally.
A 2019 study by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace revealed that 52 out of 176 nations surveyed were incorporating AI tools into their policing strategy.
I'm concerned about this because we know what happens when you give liberals crime statistics.
They start coming up with excuses.
And when you've got these same people now programming AI to make predictive guesses and predictive arrests maybe at a certain point.
I'm a bit worried about that.
I would legitimately be less worried if it was just purely data-driven.
It was literally just like they gave the AI a map of a city and just showed where all the crime hotspots were and just had it run algorithms to go, we believe the crime will be committed in this area at this time.
Send police there. And then they did it.
But what's going to happen is that they're going to start sending police to black neighborhoods more often than white neighborhoods.
And then the liberals are going to get mad and they're going to Not good.
Really not good. Strange that Japan is rolling this out, considering that they have an average of three crimes a year in that country.
Finally, Muslim billionaire wins planning permission to convert London's historic Trocadero complex into a mosque.
Man, wouldn't that be something?
Having billionaires that love their own people, wouldn't that be crazy if they spent their money on us?
Alright, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
Infowars.com, band.video.
Please do share those links.
We'll start off today with a little video.
We've got a bunch of good videos today, actually.
I want to go first to clip number one here.
Just as a little flashback.
Things have changed so much in the last five years.
Obviously our big story yesterday was about the 16 fake electors, 16 self-appointed Michigan electors attempting to rescue the Republic from the stolen election.
The problem was They didn't have institutional support.
See, what they were doing is not necessarily the worst thing ever.
It's almost exactly the same thing that Hillary Clinton campaign and a number of associated organizations tried in 2016.
The problem was that in that situation, in 2016, you had Hollywood and the media and the deep state, the entire establishment, On the side of Hillary Clinton, ready and willing to do anything necessary to stop Trump from getting into office.
So we're going to show you a video now, from 2016, of a number of Hollywood celebrities.
Not even really to make a point, just to remind ourselves how insufferable, self-important, and wrong these people are and were.
You'll hear, you know, the claims here.
We'll watch it and then commentate on the other side, but...
unidentified
These people.
harrison smith
These frickin' people.
And keep in mind, as you hear this, this was made in 2016.
And you can hear, embedded in their statements, the false assumption, the now disproven assertion that Trump didn't have the temperament or ability to be President of the United States...
When, of course, in reality, he presided over one of the best economic surges that America's seen in decades, kept us out of all the wars, imposed American will internationally, while also bringing peace and demanding that other countries pony up and not leave America, holding the bill at the end of the day.
So we'll watch this video of these Hollywood celebrities encouraging Select group of electors to subvert the will of the people and impose their preferred leader over the democratically elected choice.
And framing it in the most virtuous and uplifting and condescending way you can imagine.
So let's just go to it now and just enjoy the smugness of these Incorrect scumbags.
unidentified
Let's watch. Republican members of the Electoral College, this message is for you.
As you know, our founding fathers built the Electoral College to safeguard the American people from the dangers of a demagogue and to ensure that the presidency only goes to someone who is, to an eminent degree, endowed with the requisite qualifications.
An eminent degree.
Someone who is highly qualified for the job.
The Electoral College was created specifically to prevent an unfit candidate from becoming president.
There are 538 members of the Electoral College.
You and just 36 other conscientious Republican electors can make a difference.
By voting your conscience on December 19th.
And thereby shaping the future of our nation.
I'm not asking you to vote for Hillary Clinton.
As you know, the Constitution gives electors the right to vote for any eligible person.
Any eligible person, no matter which party they belong to.
But it should certainly be someone you consider especially competent.
Especially competent to serve as President of the United States of America.
By voting your conscience, you and other brave Republican electors can give the House of Representatives the option to select a qualified candidate for the presidency.
I stand with you. I stand with you.
I stand with you in support and solidarity with conservatives, independents, and liberals.
And all citizens of the United States.
The American people trust that your voice speaks for us all.
And that you, you will make yourself heard through the constitutional responsibility granted to you by Alexander Hamilton himself.
What is evident is that Donald Trump lacks more than the qualifications to be president.
He lacks the necessary stability.
And clearly the respect for the constitution of our great nation.
You have position.
The authority. And the opportunity to go down in the books as an American hero.
Who changed the course of history.
And you have my respect.
You have my respect. You have my respect.
For your patriotism.
And service to the American people.
Unite for America.
harrison smith
Yeah, they sure can't act, huh?
They sure can't act like patriotic Americans when it serves their devious purpose of actually undermining America.
It's almost convincing, wasn't it?
We're relying on you, you brave, beautiful, handsome geniuses, to be the most patriotic people you can be.
And don't let Donald Trump get the office.
Don't let him get into office.
It's ours. He can't have it.
Because you're such wonderful and beautiful people that are saving...
This country, thanks to Alexander Hamilton himself, it's all so utterly insufferable.
And going back in time, I mean, I remember them making this video.
I remember them attempting this coup.
It's like, you know, the liberals certainly, they certainly have something going for them.
The Democrats certainly understand how to use power.
Like, going back in time, I should have arrested all those people, like all those Hollywood actors, everybody who appeared in that video, everybody who ran a camera, everybody who edited, everybody who's ever donated any money to Unite for America, like clearly they were involved in an open conspiracy to subvert the election and attempt to steal the presidency from Donald Trump.
That was an attempted coup, what we saw right there, far more than anything that has happened since 2016.
I mean, all of 2020. Electors in Michigan signing papers saying they're the duly elected representatives and then just like nothing happened.
less effective, less of a impact than, I mean, a bunch of Hollywood, you know, actors making a very compelling video trying to get Republican electors to abandon their constituents and vote for Hillary Clinton instead.
Oh, but they said, we're not asking you to vote for Hillary Clinton.
Oh, okay.
So sorry.
Sorry.
When you're robbing me, but you tell me you're not robbing me, I guess you get away with it.
No, obviously that's what they're doing.
Obviously they're trying to subvert the election.
Obviously they're trying to steal the election, not even because they thought it was stolen.
Like, there's a difference between going, I don't believe this election result is valid.
I have good reason to not believe it's valid.
The numbers don't make any sense.
They don't add up correctly.
The voter rolls are chock full of lies and dead people and pets and dogs.
The mail-in ballot scam was completely illegal outside the bounds of law, outside the Duly prescribed method by which you would make a change like that through the legislature.
You can say, this election was fraudulent, so I want to do something to prevent the fraud, prevent it from being stolen.
They didn't even pretend that that was the case.
In that video, they're just like, no, we just hate Donald Trump, so you should cheat.
Cheat to keep him out of office.
Cheat to keep him out of office.
You're so brave and patriotic.
Why are all of them not facing 14 years in prison?
They're up there on screen openly conspiring.
The point is, if you could go back in time, maybe Trump and all of the Republicans should have had more of an iron fist with these people.
Maybe all of them should be rotting in prison right now, the traitorous scumbags.
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
This is American Journal, Infowars.com, band.video.
Please do go to Infowarsstore.com and support us in this mission.
It's not really all that difficult to figure out where things are going at this point.
We're just extremely close to the edge.
We are... Flirting with the void here.
I mean, we are on the cusp tomorrow, right?
Tomorrow, FedNow gets launched.
That's the federal CBDC program.
Now, if there's one thing keeping the system in moderate check, it's the slightly more difficult...
It's not even difficult...
I don't know what I'm talking about.
You know, money's fake.
It's all just numbers on a computer screen anyway.
But at least, like, they have to kind of pretend like there's, like, a money supply that they control the size of and still have physical cash.
You can actually avoid constant surveillance all the time.
Once CBDCs not just get implemented, but cash gets phased out, as it already is being phased out in places like India and Australia, there's no limitation to the amount of money these people can fabricate from thin air.
The manipulation that they'll have the ability to do.
At the same time, they have primed and engineered...
The society and the civilization and the cultural influences to think that somebody being debanked because of their political views is not just okay, but a good thing.
It's a positive development in this world.
Stakeholder capitalism, that banks aren't just capitalistic entities there to try to make money, basically having a contract with their customers saying, we'll hold your money.
We'll give you some interest in exchange.
We get to use your money to invest in safe investments as we see it.
Not anymore. Now banks are an arm of the global government.
Like every corporation, it's now an arm of the global government.
And it can and will be used to enforce submission to and adherence to the cultural norms that they want to impose on you, even if the majority objects to it, even if The minority objects to it.
It doesn't matter. They will force you to behave the way that they want.
So, of course, they did this with Nigel Farage.
They've been doing this for several years, both through the big tech platforms that work with and cooperate with banking systems, but also just banks themselves.
So once you have CBDCs and a cultural justification for De-banking people who have the wrong opinion, there's your social credit score right there.
And once you have that, it's over.
I was talking about this with a friend the other day.
Well, and we showed the video too, right?
Social credit score in China.
They're going around China asking people what they think about the social credit score, but...
That's the whole thing about the social credit score, isn't it?
Once it's in place, everybody's going to say they love it, or else their social credit score will go down.
It's a self-reinforcing program.
What do you think about the social credit score?
I love it! Your social credit score goes up.
Wow, what a fun way for that to work.
Well, I want to be able to afford my bus ride home, so the social credit score is amazing.
Yeah, I'm trying to buy a house and get married, so I love the social credit score.
I think it should be more invasive and oppressive.
You know, again, once these things get in place, that's it.
It's over. Aldous Huxley called it the ultimate revolution.
It's in the final revolution, the last revolution, the last advancement, the last change in human behavior.
Once these things are implemented...
Smooth sailing for the global government from there on out.
No more threat of opposition, no more threat of revolution, no more threat of overthrow.
No matter how much you oppress, no matter how much you tyrannize or abuse your citizens, what are they going to do about it?
What are they going to protest you?
How are they going to get to your house or the Capitol if they can't get on public transportation and you've eliminated all private car ownership?
You remember... On the run-up to January 6th, Google and Apple Maps would not give you directions to D.C. Does anybody else remember that?
People drive into D.C. on like January 4th or 5th, 2021.
We're searching, you know, map from my location to Washington, D.C. And Google wouldn't give them directions.
Obviously, it didn't stop people from getting there, but it's a hint.
It's a warning of what's to come.
So what if, you know, you can't afford air travel?
Air flights have been shut down completely.
I mean, they've already eliminated... A huge portion of the air travel in Europe, places like France and Germany, they're like, well, if your flight is under three hours, you can't fly anymore.
So, like, eliminate short-haul flights.
We don't have trains in this country.
Get rid of gasoline vehicles.
Get rid of the infrastructure to support gasoline vehicles.
Have electric vehicles.
There's not enough centralized electricity production to make up for all of the gasoline vehicles, so not everyone's going to have an electric car.
So... Cars themselves will no longer be privately owned things, but they'll be owned by a corporation, or in all reality, they'll own themselves.
The cars will own themselves.
They'll be able to, like, run diagnostics on themselves.
They'll be able to roll up to the charging station, plug themselves in.
When they need a repair, they'll take themselves to the mechanic shop, or they'll just shut down.
Maybe they'll have investors.
Like, instead of owners of cars, they'll have investors in automatic cars.
Yeah, Google News has an AI tool that's writing news articles.
Already now, I think it was in America.
I know they have them in Saudi Arabia and the UAE and stuff, but I believe in America already there has been rolled out in a testing phase driverless taxis, right?
A robot car will show up and pick you up and take you where you want to go.
Seems very futuristic and spectacular, right?
Something from some sort of dystopian perspective.
But the reality is that you want to get away from somewhere, you want to go somewhere to protest, you want to go to D.C. to protest something you see as an abuse or some sort of grievance you want redressed.
Well, if you can't drive there, the electric car won't take you there, your social credit score is not high enough to afford a plane ticket there, or if they've shut down all the plane flights to get there, yeah, you're not getting there to protest.
There it is. You can now ride in a driverless car in Austin as GM-owned Cruise expands rideshare services.
See, I didn't realize that was here.
Maybe we should test that out.
Maybe we should try that out.
It's here in Austin. Maybe I'll try a driverless car.
Maybe I'll steal it.
Who's going to stop me? The robot?
So again, you can see where all of this is going.
It's not speculation. It's not far off.
It's not something coming down the line.
And the real sad part about it is that all it takes is our awareness and resistance.
And yet we are hamstrung and completely rendered incapable of resistance by the fact that the vast majority of Americans don't know or don't care.
And they have this like normalcy bias.
That's the most frustrating thing in the world to me.
The way I explain it, I don't know if this is the definition of normally sleep eyes, but the way I see it is if it hasn't happened yet, it doesn't matter.
It's a wild conspiracy theory.
If it is happening, well, then it's just the natural march of time.
It's inevitable and must be...
Gotten used to because resistance is futile.
You can see it in all sorts of examples, like all of the examples that we covered day in and day out.
You can just look back in time and go, you know, your kitchen appliances are going to be spying on you.
People are just like, what? That is crazy.
That's not good. Why would they want to?
That's nuts. Why would that be the case?
That's so stupid. You're a conspiracy theorist.
And you fast forward a couple years, and it's like, Amazon's new microwave will watch you all the time.
And if you say a racist thing, it'll shut itself down.
And people are like, well, good.
Well, good. Isn't that neat?
Isn't that cool? So it, like, can hear me, and then it, like, can suggest ads for me.
Isn't that awesome? Just like, okay, so we'll just, we'll all die then.
All right, welcome back, folks.
unidentified
I spent that whole last segment just rambling.
harrison smith
I want to do a quick pitch, talk about what InfoWars is all about, why it's so important to support us now that we're coming down to the final hours of this conflict, determine who will decide the fate of humanity.
You just start rambling about all the just obvious ways.
That this entire scheme is just out in the open now.
Completely out in the open.
Got a little bit distracted. So, point of that was to go to InfoWarsStore.com because when you really just stop and think about it, if you really just close your eyes and think about how you defeat this, it has to be through information.
It has to be through an awakening.
Now, if humanity wants to stay asleep, if they want to keep their eyes shut, I guess it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter what we do. It doesn't matter how hard you try.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.
But you also can't save the world by forcing people to care about humanity.
Like, you can't force people to care about their fellow human beings or, you know, understand and care about the blatant hypocrisies that are right in front of their faces.
Like, they can't see them.
There's nothing you can do about it.
So, I still have the hope that there's a critical mass of people out there, tender, just waiting for the spark to land.
And we can rise up and take back not just our country, but our civilization, our society, our whole world.
If that's not possible, then it's not possible to save us.
Like, there's only two options.
Either... People wake up.
They see the information.
Scales fall from their eyes.
Together we oppose the sickeningly mechanized anti-human communistic takeover that's happening.
Before the takeover happens. Like, those are the only options.
There's not a third option that's like, or we could just fight them by ourselves.
It's like, no, no, no.
No, that's not an option, actually.
That's not an option. Escaping and going and starting your own breakaway civilization.
It's an idea. It's pretty tempting.
Orania in South Africa is having some success.
But you think these people will leave you alone?
They didn't leave you alone last time.
Last time we had a nice, functional Christian society.
Did they leave you alone? Of course not.
Of course not. So, I don't know.
Separation, not a viable path to follow.
Violence, not a viable path to follow.
There's only one path. It's the informational one.
It's the only hope.
So we have to put everything we have into it and pray to God that we can break through to people.
Not exactly looking good on that front either.
Not because our audience is unaware.
Our audience is extremely aware.
A lot of Americans are extremely aware.
The size of our audience in America is larger than anybody really, I think, would suspect.
Until you go out wearing an InfoWars t-shirt and see how many people are listeners out there in the real world.
But then you've got people like our Congress...
Then you've got people actually in charge, actually with the power to do things to correct the situation that we're in.
And so yesterday we had this IRS, two IRS whistleblowers.
Stories at Infowars.com.
IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler reveals how DOJ protected Biden crime family.
And it's this very odd situation.
We covered this a little bit last week with the hearings in Congress.
Very frustrating, having hearing after hearing after hearing, especially since the point of hearings is to determine what is going on.
And you can liken it to a trial.
In this case, you have the trial, you present all the witnesses, all the evidence, and But then you never actually say whether the person's guilty or innocent.
You just keep having the trial.
You just keep calling witnesses.
You just keep presenting evidence forever, I guess.
Only in this case, this would be like the judge pronouncing what he believed the outcome of the trial was going to be before any evidence was presented and before any witnesses came forward.
Quite literally what's going on here.
In other words, you're having a hearing in Congress for IRS whistleblowers to tell you what they know personally from first-hand experience happened in the Biden investigation.
As they go to present their first-hand personal experience, they are told by the Democratic congressman there is no corruption.
The DOJ never protected the Bidens.
Right? Got people presenting their personal testimony and evidence that The DOJ did protect the Bidens, and you've got the congressmen telling them, telling the people with the evidence, you're wrong, it's never happened. Hard to wrap your mind around.
Really, really hard to wrap your mind around.
You just imagine the courtroom drama.
It's like the woman testifying, being like, yes, I was in the store at night when he came in with a...
He didn't have a mask on, but he had a plastic bag, and he put it over my head, and the judge was like, no, ma'am, he didn't.
That didn't happen. He didn't do anything to you.
She's like, yes, he...
No, I'm the one telling you the evidence.
I'm the one with... I'm the witness here.
I'm the one who knows what happened.
I'm here to tell you.
And instead, you have the people who are supposed to sit there in a way that comports with the continuation of our republic as a sovereign nation should listen to the evidence and determine what to do about it.
Instead, they're sitting there telling the people with the evidence that they're wrong.
It's so crazy.
Yeah, I don't know how to deal with it.
I don't know how to deal with it. And that's not even the craziest thing they say, but let's go to some of these videos.
Let's go to clip number 19 first.
Here's Jamie Raskin basically saying that none of this even matters.
jamie raskin
Let's watch. There is no evidence that Hunter Biden has received any kind of official favoritism in this prosecution for being Joe Biden's son.
On the contrary, there are more than 10 million Americans who have filed taxes but failed to pay them the exact crime Hunter Biden is pleading guilty to.
The vast majority of these cases are resolved administratively or through civil settlement.
Indeed, every year the IRS and DOJ obtain convictions and sentences in fewer than 700 cases for tax crimes of any kind.
A minuscule percentage.
harrison smith
I wonder if Raskin realizes...
Again, we're presented once again with a dichotomy.
There's only two options here.
Either Raskin doesn't understand how this works...
Or he's purposefully lying.
See, if the investigators are prevented from investigating, then you're obviously not going to have evidence of the crime that Hunter committed.
You can sort of see the inverse of this with things like what happens to Donald Trump.
Like to us, to patriots and people that actually can see these things clearly...
The fact that you have Donald Trump investigated every couple of months for the last five years over accusations that prove universally to be utterly baseless, see that's evidence of a criminal justice department desperately trying to stick something on Donald Trump.
The exact same information is interpreted As the opposite by the left.
They see it as evidence that Trump is bad.
They're like, well, why has he been indicted so much?
It's like, obviously because the people indicting him are abusing their power and using their position to their political ends.
But to them, the indictments themselves are proof of guilt.
To us, the indictments are proof of a corrupt system attempting to entrap an innocent person.
C2 To Raskin, the fact that these investigations were shut down is proof that Hunter was innocent.
Doesn't make any sense. Makes no sense at all.
It's the opposite of true.
The reality is that these investigations were shut down.
The questions were not even allowed to be asked.
And then he points to those investigations, which were curtailed, which were cut short, which were prevented from having any success or coming out with any tangible proof, as proof itself that Hunter is innocent.
Ziegler, the 13-year career veteran of the IRS and a Democrat, said anytime we potentially wanted to go down the road of asking questions related to the president, it was, quote, that's going to take too much approval.
We can't ask those questions, Ziegler said.
It created an environment that was very hard to deal with.
When you're prevented from going down certain roads, I guess I don't know what could have been found if we were not hand-strung or handcuffed.
Again, the investigators are hamstrung.
The investigators are prevented by the higher-ups from actually looking into this stuff.
They go to blow the whistle on this and go, there could be crimes.
We were not allowed to investigate.
And then despicable, dishonest, do-rag-wearing scumbags like Jamie Raskin go, see, there's no evidence.
They didn't find anything because they were prevented from investigating.
Yeah. The answer, the dichotomy I put forward earlier, it's a false one.
Jamie Raskin's not stupid.
He knows exactly what he's doing.
He's dishonest.
He's a liar. He's a manipulator.
He is giving his side the red meat that they need.
To put on Twitter and go, Jamie Raskin destroys the Republicans' theory.
No, he didn't. He's just tricking you.
He's smart and tricky.
You're dumb and gullible.
Or also smart and tricky.
I don't know. It doesn't matter to me.
You're all bad. Alright, welcome back, folks.
Again, we find ourselves in a bizarre situation where eyewitness testimony eyewitness People actually involved in the investigation itself, whistleblowers,
Democrats, people with no personal or political reason to lie about this whatsoever, put their own lives and own I don't think it's always been like this.
I really don't think it's always been like this.
I think something about Trump broke Democrats.
And they just, they can't, I don't know, they just can't see what, they can't see themselves, they can't see what they're doing.
It's so bizarre. But let's just listen to one of the Testimonials here.
This is IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley.
Clip number 17.
Here's his opening statement on the Department of Justice corruption and the Biden family crimes.
unidentified
Thank you for inviting me to testify here today.
I want to thank every member and staff around both sides of the aisle who work for the work you do to represent your constituents and hold government accountable.
My name is Gary Shapley.
I worked as a special agent for IRS criminal investigation for 14 years.
I have risen to become a senior leader in the organization and currently supervise 12 elite agents in the International Tax and Financial Crimes Group.
I have worked directly with United States Attorneys in multiple districts and have supervised or investigated cases in more than a dozen United States Attorneys' offices across the country.
I have led, planned, or executed undercover operations or search warrants in more than a dozen countries.
I have investigated and managed some of the largest cases in the history of the agency, recovering more than $3.5 billion for the United States taxpayer.
In this country, we believe in the rule of law, and that applies to everyone.
There should not be a two-track justice system depending on who you are and who you're connected to.
Yet, in this case, there was.
Based on my experience, I'm here to tell you that the Delaware U.S. Attorney's Office and Department of Justice handling the Hunter Biden tax investigation It was very different from any other case in my 14 years at the IRS. At every stage, decisions were made that benefited the subject of this investigation.
For example, prosecutors concealed contents of Hunter Biden's laptop from investigators.
DOJ slow walked steps to include interviews, serving document requests, and executing search warrants.
Warrants that were ready as early as April of 2020, but were delayed until after the November 2020 election and never pursued anything.
Investigators were not allowed to follow up on WhatsApp messages from Hunter Biden's Apple iCloud backup, where he suggested he was sitting next to his father.
Assistant United States Attorney Leslie Wolf cited the optics of executing a search warrant at President Biden's residence as a deciding factor for not allowing it, even though she agreed that probable cause existed.
Prosecutors instructed investigators not to ask about the big guy or dad when conducting interviews.
The Biden transition team was tipped off about interviews the night before the investigation went overt, a fact my FBI counterpart confirmed to this committee in a recent testimony, where the result was that only one witness spoke to investigators that day.
These are just some of the examples of how our investigation was stymied.
I'm not here to support partisan agendas on either side.
I'm here because our tax system relies on the American people having confidence it is administered fairly and equally for everyone, regardless of your last name or political connections.
If the handling of this case was inappropriate, it doesn't matter whether it happened under a Republican or Democrat administration.
Whether you agree with my concerns about the unethical slow walking and preferential treatment in this case, you can be sure that my testimony is true and correct to the best of my ability.
Unfortunately, the way this has already been handled by some members and the media has done immeasurable damage to future would-be whistleblowers.
I have been attacked as incompetent and falsely accused of being a liar, a leaker, or a phone.
harrison smith
Destroying everything. The second hour has begun here on American Journal.
I'm gonna go ahead and open up the phone lines for your calls.
We're gonna go back to that video of IRS whistleblower Gary Shapely in just a second.
If you want to give us a call about this, I think we'll continue to talk about the hearings yesterday throughout this hour before welcoming our guest in the third hour, Mark Ivano.
1-877-789-2539.
1-877-789-2539.
Give us a call here at American Journal.
1-877-789-2539.
Before we go back to Gary Shapley's bombshell testimony, Which, I gotta admit, the more I think about it, the more sort of mad I am at Marjorie Taylor Greene for pulling that stupid stunt.
I don't care. It's not, you know, the Democrats, again, they have this performative outrage where they're just like, oh, they're violating the sanctity of, where it's like, okay, yeah, all right.
Yeah, you're the party of Nancy Pelosi ripping the State of the Union apart on live TV. So, you know, after it was done, you're the party of people trying to Get cartoon pornography into elementary schools, calling us Nazis for resisting it.
unidentified
Like, shut up.
harrison smith
I mean, at least she blurred it.
If it was you people, who knows what it would be like.
I don't know. If it was Hunter Biden learns he's a girl and it's some...
If those pictures were in a kid's book...
Then again, you'd be calling us Nazis and suing the school district for not having it in the first grade classroom.
So you're not actually mad at that.
You're mad at the fact that it's embarrassing to know that your leader of your political party has a son so blatantly corrupt, disgusting, and embarrassing. It's an embarrassment to the nation.
All these people are an embarrassment to the nation.
So, you know, we're going to focus, we're going to play more clips, and we're going to focus on what we've actually learned, what actually happened in the hearing, because a bunch of really important information came out.
None of it had to do with dirty pictures of Hunter Biden.
I mean, tangentially, I guess, but...
I don't know.
Just sort of like...
Marjorie Taylor Greene, like, why?
Why? What did you achieve?
You got a lot of headlines, you got a lot of distraction...
You gave Democrats a bunch of reason to call you bad.
Got a bunch of regular, normal Americans will absolutely agree with.
Like, a very small amount of hardcore right-wingers can be like, yeah, just show them Hunter naked.
Like, it's so, so stupid.
So stupid. I think it was a stupid move strategically.
Not outraged that this...
Oh, I can't believe they showed a blurred-out pornographic picture in this room where we perform the sacred act of launching wars and destroying the American people and, you know, launching genocides across the globe.
It's just, okay, yeah, this is by far one of the least offensive things that's happened in one of these rooms, so spare me.
Spare me the outrage.
I do think strategically it was stupid and a mistake because now everybody's talking about that.
Nobody's talking about the actual information that shows beyond any shadow of a doubt that the IRS, DOJ, the FBI were cooperating and collaborating to cover up for the Biden crime family.
And it works just like every other bureaucracy in the history of the world.
The bureaucracy is an excuse.
The set of rules is something that people can choose to adhere to or not.
And the people in the bureaucracy choose to adhere to it when it benefits them and they can say, well, it's not my job.
I didn't make up the rules.
I just enforce them. Right?
Sorry, you said the naughty word on YouTube.
You get deleted. Oh, but one of the friends of the owner of YouTube said it?
Well, he gets a pass. See, when it's Beneficial to them.
The rules, the rules. The bureaucracy is the bureaucracy.
Everything happens as it is.
Nobody's above the law. This is what it says.
This is what we do. And then it's like, oh, but this is the Bidens.
And they're like, okay, well, maybe in this case we can just not do it then.
Well, maybe, never mind.
I'm telling you. You've probably experienced this in your own life.
I mean, this is how it works, right?
I was thinking back to my graduation, but you can think about it just like trying to get your cell phone bill taken care of if there's some mistake or something.
It's just like, sorry, sir, that's what it says.
That's what the number is. And then if you realize, you're like, wait a second, this is a miscalculation on your part.
I think it's your fault that this is wrong.
Then they're just like, oh, okay, well, let me just delete it there.
There you go, problem solved. And it's just like, oh, okay, so it was that easy for you?
It's just you're not going to give me the benefit of the doubt.
You're not going to give me the access to the behind-the-scenes code.
You're not going to give me the wiggle room in the bureaucracy.
When it's me, it's rigid and exacting and unavoidable.
But when it's you that needs the wiggle room, well, the rules are all kind of suggestions, actually, at the end of the day.
So let's go back to Gary Shapely here.
We'll get to the actual information that was revealed yesterday on the floor of Congress.
Here again is IRS whistleblower Gary Shapely in his opening statement, just explaining how corrupt this whole rotten system truly is.
unidentified
I have been attacked as incompetent and falsely accused of being a liar, a leaker, or both, all by people who know nothing about me or the facts of this case.
Some question if I should even be called a whistleblower, suggesting that my disclosures are not legally protected merely because they don't like what I'm saying.
We have seen this shoe on the other foot before, and some Republicans have made the same error, so there's plenty of blame for both sides.
The cycle of villainizing or canonizing government employees who report what they believe is wrongdoing has to stop.
When I first started noticing deviations from a normal investigative process around June 2020, I did not run to Congress to air grievances.
Instead, I documented my concerns and made internal protective disclosures to my chain of command.
I tried to give the prosecutors the benefit of the doubt for a very long time.
After our investigation had largely concluded by the end of 2021, the IRS recommended charging Hunter Biden with multiple felonies and several misdemeanors for the tax years of 2014 through 2019.
The Delaware Assistant United States Attorneys and Tax Division Trial Attorneys supported charging the felonies and misdemeanors listed in Exhibit 2 of my interview transcripts on page 44 and 45, which were officially referred to the Department of Justice Tax Division in February of 2022.
This case was presented to the Washington, D.C., U.S. Attorney's Office in or around March 2022.
In April 2022, in a hearing, Attorney General Garland was asked how the American people could be confident the administration was conducting a serious investigation into the president's own son.
Attorney General Garland responded by saying, because we put the investigation in the hands of a Trump appointee.
He led Congress to believe the case was insulated from improper political influence because all decisions were being made exclusively by Delaware United States Attorney David Weiss, but that was not true.
The Justice Department allowed the President's political appointees to weigh in on whether they're charged the President's son.
After United States Attorney for D.C. Matthew Graves, appointed by President Biden, refused to bring charges in March 2022, I watched United States Attorney Weiss tell a room full of senior FBI and IRS senior leaders on October 7, 2022, that he was not the deciding person on whether charges were filed.
That was my red line.
I had already seen a pattern of preferential treatment and obstruction.
Now, United States Weiss was admitting that what the American people believed, based on Attorney General's sworn statement, was false.
I can no longer stay silent.
In November of 2022, the statute of limitations was set to expire for the 2014 and 2015 charges in D.C. Which included the 2014 felonies for the attempt to evade or defeat tax and fraud or false statement regarding burisma income earned by Hunter Biden in those years.
The statute of limitations have been extended through a tolling agreement with Hunter Biden's defense counsel, and they were willing to extend it past November 2022.
Weiss allowed those to expire.
Prosecutors presented the 2017, 2018, and 2019 criminal tax charges to the Central District of California around September of 2022, only after President Biden's nominee, Martin Estrada, was confirmed.
In January of this year, I learned Estrada had declined to bring the charges.
For all intents and purposes, the case was dead with the exception of one gun charge that could be brought in Delaware.
And yet, when Senator Chuck Grassley asked Attorney General Garland about the case in March 2023, Garland testified The United States Attorney has been advised he has full authority to make those referrals you're talking about or to bring cases in other districts if he needs to do that.
He has been advised that he should get anything he needs.
After the October 7 red line meeting, there was no way to reconcile the United States Attorney Weiss' statement, his office's actions, and his office's actions.
harrison smith
Just lie upon lie upon lie.
Wait till you see what the Democrats have to say about it.
All right, welcome back.
unidentified
Ladies and gentlemen, we'll get to your phone calls here shortly.
harrison smith
Let's do some of these videos.
Let's go to some of these videos, shall we?
We'll go to clip number five here.
here this is one that corresponds with the info wars article whistleblower irs whistleblower joseph ziegler reveals how doj protected biden crime family the whistleblower agent x identified as democrat and career irs agent joseph ziegler appeared on cbs news before his testimony to congress on wednesday to give his accounts to the department of justice's preferential treatment of joe and hunter biden
he's a 13-year career veteran of the irs and before going on he's also yeah registered Democrat.
There's no political or personal dog in this fight, but is putting his career, reputation, even life on the line to tell the truth about this.
Before appearing in front of the Congressional Committee, he went on CBS with Catherine Herridge or whatever her name is.
Catherine Herridge.
Here is the IRS whistleblower in clip number five.
unidentified
Did you uncover evidence that President Biden financially benefited from his son's deals?
I don't feel comfortable answering that question.
Why is that? Any time we potentially wanted to go down the road of asking questions related to the president, it was, that's going to take too much approvals.
We can't ask those questions.
And I mean, it created an environment that was very hard to deal with.
As a politically sensitive case, wouldn't it require additional approvals?
Yes, I do understand that aspect.
But it would be like, well, let's think about it.
Let's put that on the back burner.
harrison smith
Yeah, a little bit different than how they treated Trump, I guess.
So again, not allowed to investigate.
Ah, it'd just be too hard.
Ah, it's a little bit too sensitive.
I don't know. We'd be in a lot of hot water.
That's the other phrase that he used.
We'd be in a lot of hot water then.
Ziegler claimed his investigative team was denied the ability to even speak to Hunter Biden's adult children, claiming Weiss told him to do so would get them in some hot water.
It's so funny. It's so funny, right?
This guy's like, well, should we talk to Hunter Biden's adult children?
I mean, they probably know what's going on here.
They could give us some information.
The guy's like, that's a line we can't cross.
Questioning? The family member of an investigative subject?
Wow. That's a lot.
That's quite a lot. Cut to, you know.
Should we use this fake information I got from Hillary Clinton to launch a FISA investigation on Donald Trump?
Yes, let's do that immediately.
Don't even question it.
Just do it. Just do it, right?
What would be the hot water they would get in for questioning Hunter Biden's children?
It makes no sense.
What hot water? What about that is illegal?
What about that would cause punishment to come down on them?
Like, what does that mean?
You would gain hot water for interviewing the relative of your investigation subject.
What does that even mean?
What it means is that people protecting the Bidens would use their power since they are above the people that are talking here who are like the special prosecutor David Weiss and this IRS investigator.
The people above them would punish them.
Not that the Congress would punish them, not that it was illegal and they'd be breaking a law and they might get caught breaking the law, so we better not do that.
No, everything that they wanted to do was within the bounds of law, within the scope of the investigation, within the scope of reason, obviously.
This would be a very simple and probably responsible thing to do.
Go ask the family members of the person you're investigating about what they know.
Nothing out of bounds there.
Nothing in violation of the Constitution or the letter or spirit of the law.
Just if you target the Bidens, you will be punished by the deep state bosses on the seventh floor, in the shadows.
They will exert an exact revenge on you somehow.
Now, if you actually want to break the law, if you actually want to falsify evidence, if you actually want to circumvent evidence and You know, conspire with your mistress to have an insurance plan to keep the duly elected president out of office and you want to use falsified evidence to get a FISA warrant even though you know the evidence is fake and you know the FISA warrant's not going to come up with anything but you just want to spy on him anyway so you fake it all.
You can get caught red-handed and nothing happens to you.
Forget hot water, lukewarm, nothing.
I mean, you're golden.
You're good to go. Anybody else see how...
How dangerous all this is.
And how pervasive.
That's the other thing. That's really the other thing.
And I think that might be one of the strengths that the mainstream media has with all of this, is that the way people have sort of been programmed to understand criminal activity, they want...
To find, like, the one guy that is pulling the strings.
Like, to them, that's, like, Donald Trump.
And they're like, oh, it's just him.
He's just bad and evil, and everything he does is a lie, and he's corrupt, and he's trying to make money.
Like, they just think it's him.
They think he's, like, a criminal mastermind, and they're, like, desperate to get him.
They think everybody around him is just, like, a lackey and a, you know, cult member who's going to follow Trump no matter what.
The reality that we're seeing through these testimonies, that we're seeing through these whistleblowers, is that you've got layer upon layer upon layer upon layer of protection.
You've got the investigators having bosses that are keeping them in line.
The bosses of the bosses are making sure...
The bosses are saying, I hope we don't get in hot water because their bosses will exact revenge on them.
You've got the media covering up for it.
You've got... 55 dozen, any number of intelligence agents willing to write their name on a blatant, flagrant lie about the 100 Biden laptop.
No fear.
There's no worry about like, oh, what if we get caught?
Oh, what if, you know...
What if it's discovered that the FISA court relied on falsified evidence?
Oh man, we're violating the Constitution here.
Is this really worth it?
They don't even consider it because nothing's going to happen to them.
Because the courts are corrupt, because the Congress is corrupt, because the deep state is corrupt, the IRS, the FBI, the DOJ, the Biden administration, they're all puppets.
They're all just being controlled from the shadows.
The media's going along with it.
Hook, line, sinker. The Republicans, nominal Republicans, the blue-blood rhino Republicans are just as bad as everybody else.
That's the thing about what we learned from the testimony yesterday.
It's just like, we are screwed, man.
We are absolutely screwed.
I mean... Who was the guy?
Was it Sam Harris? That was like, I wouldn't care if there were, if like Hunter Biden killed a child with his bare hands, I would still vote for him over Donald Trump.
It's like, you know, that's the mindset of like a lot of people in our government.
Where literally, if they started investigating Hunter Biden, and they found video of him Filming a selfie, like strangling a child to death.
They'd cover it up. They'd hide it.
They'd conceal it. To them, it's more important to have this corrupt money laundering system continue than to save it.
It's weird because the whole system is collapsing.
The whole system of checks and balances is going down.
I'll show you a video on the other side.
There's a Democrat...
A congressman who believes that the point of the FBI and the DOJ is to keep the people in check, to keep the rest of the government in check and behaving correctly.
unidentified
Wild. Alright folks, welcome back.
harrison smith
We'll go out to your phone calls this segment.
We'll just finish up with some more insane videos from yesterday.
The IRS whistleblowers.
First we go to clip number 14.
This is Democrat Representative Chantel Brown saying that nothing the Republicans have ever said about Joe Biden's family has any merit whatsoever.
unidentified
Let's watch. I know the American people are confused because we're all confused what we're doing here.
Nothing this majority has claimed about the president or his family has merit.
No wonder the folks back home are tuning out of this confused mess.
My colleagues on the other side of the aisle have shredded all their credibility in this committee.
They simply grasp at straws that do not exist.
harrison smith
Again, imagine being a whistleblower.
Imagine putting your life and career in jeopardy to try to desperately do what's right, only to have Democrats sit there and insult you to your face and call you a liar and tell you that your eyewitness claims have no merit.
unidentified
Just... Okay.
harrison smith
Of course, we've been...
Write about absolutely everything the entire time.
So, you know, what is she even talking about?
That's the thing. You know, when the mainstream media determines reality for most Americans, they can say stuff like that and not feel utterly ridiculous, but they are.
Let's go to clip number 16 here.
This is Representative Kawisi Mifume.
Good Lord. He just said one of the most disturbing and insane things a member of Congress has ever said.
unidentified
Let's watch. Here's what galls me.
I don't like these attacks on the Department of Justice, the SBI, the IRS, as if they are somehow anti-US agencies.
Those agencies keep this democracy in check.
It keeps them in float.
They provide the checks and they provide the balances.
harrison smith
Completely insane.
That's a completely insane statement to make.
He said the IRS and the FBI are a check and balance to keep our democracy in check.
So he thinks the FBI and the DOJ... This is the full completion of the conspiracy cycle, right?
Where it was a conspiracy. It was a wild-eyed, dangerous conspiracy before to claim that something like the FBI was spying on the Senate.
The deep state, the NSA, are actually hacking and accessing the congressional members' phones.
Like, that's such a dangerous violation of the privacy of our government and their ability to actually do what they're supposed to do and maintain law and order in this country.
But now to the point where Democrats think that that's the purpose of the FBI. Like, yeah, the FBI is there to, like, you know, lie about the Hunter Biden laptop and arrest political candidates.
It's crazy. It's absolutely...
So they legitimately now think that the purpose of the FBI is to keep Congress in check.
Satanic inversion.
I'm telling you.
Let's go now to clip number 15.
Democrats responding to explosive and highly credible testimony of federal interference in the Hunter Biden corruption scandal.
You'll never guess what they bring up to try to divert attention away.
Let's watch.
unidentified
Let's remember that the president of the United States, not Joe Biden, Donald J. Trump, was impeached over a phone call to the president of Ukraine wanting to get dirt on this very subject, on this very individual.
harrison smith
Why do they all look and sound like such freaks?
Sorry, I wouldn't even pay attention to what the man was saying.
He's distracted by what he looks like and sounds like.
His vibe. It's not good.
It's not healthy. It's very weird.
How do these people get elected? Who is voting for them?
So he really just tried to bring up the Ukraine phone call that Trump got impeached over as if that somehow was counter evidence to what was being presented.
What are they talking about?
What do they think they're talking about?
The whole point is that Hunter and Joe Biden used his position as vice president to get tens of millions of dollars in order to change American policy in favor of the people bribing them.
Donald Trump started looking into that claim and they impeached Donald Trump to stop him from looking into it.
That's evidence of what the IRS is saying.
That's evidence of what the Republicans are saying.
Not evidence against it.
The cover-up in this case has gone so far.
It goes so high.
I mean, that's the thing, man.
With people like this...
Here's what the oversight committee says.
Today, IRS whistleblowers provided evidence revealing how the Justice Department treated the Bidens differently.
They say thank you to the two brave whistleblowers from the hearing we learned.
Hunter received millions of dollars from China, Ukraine, and Romania.
There's evidence Joe Biden knew and was possibly involved in his family's business schemes.
Oh, more evidence of that?
Oh, good. Oh, wow, I'm glad this finally came to light.
We had no idea. Like, all right, sorry, I'll try to take this seriously.
It's just like... How many times do we have to go over the same damn evidence over and over and over again?
How many times, man?
Just need to... Sorry, I'll stick to the list here.
The assigned prosecutor did not follow ordinary process.
Slow walked the investigation and put in place unnecessary approvals and roadblocks.
Hunter Biden should have been charged with a tax felony, not just a tax misdemeanor charge.
The whistleblowers confirmed they were not allowed to follow evidence that could have led to Joe Biden.
Both whistleblowers confirmed they'd never seen or heard of FBI's FD-1023 form alleging Joe Biden was involved in a bribery scheme during their investigation, which had been good evidence for them to have, but they were denied it.
Both Shapely and Ziegler confirmed that they were retaliated against.
Shapely, who's still employed by the IRS, has not heard from his direct supervisor in six weeks.
Our investigation doesn't end there.
Representative James Comer, Jim Jordan, and Jason Smith have called on senior leaders in the DOJ, IRS, and Secret Service to make over a dozen employees available for transcribed interviews who possess information concerning allegations of politicization and misconduct at their agencies with respect to the investigation of Hunter Biden.
So, don't worry, folks.
More strongly worded letters to come.
More hearings.
More witnesses. We're going to have more questioning.
We're going to have more letters. We're going to have more angry tirades from impotent cowards in Congress.
Don't worry, folks. America's going to be saved because they're demanding that the IRS that is just chock full of rampant criminals that's cooperating with the DOJ and the FBI and the Biden administration to just absolutely gut the entire American system and reform it in their own image where the deep state spy actors who are unaccountable and unelected have That ultimate authority over and above in an obvious and public way, subverting and usurping the power of the Congress.
Don't worry. They're going to stop that because they're going to ask those guys some more questions.
No, don't worry, folks.
They're really going to question those guys more later, probably.
So, problem solved then, I guess.
Again, you know...
Democrats say they don't believe the IRS whistleblower's testimony.
Eh, no reason not to.
No evidence to show that they're lying.
Just... Every single piece of evidence points to them being legit.
From every source you can possibly imagine.
From the documents we have on Hunter Biden's laptop.
From the testimony of whistleblowers.
Dozens of whistleblowers. I mean, there have been so many whistleblowers at this point.
To just the evidence of the outcome of the investigation...
Being obviously falsified.
I mean... What are we doing here?
Honestly, what are we doing?
What is this?
unidentified
It's weird. Republicans, from testimony of whistleblowers to pictures of his testicles.
Yeah. We have him by the balls, and we just keep letting him grift.
harrison smith
Him and Joe Biden and the entire DOJ and the entire FBI and Democrats are sitting there giving them the excuse to do it.
And it's not like, oh, you have to do this or else it's going to come down on you.
They know it'll never come back to them.
They know the Republicans will never do anything to stop this, which is the real problem.
That means we're going to have to.
So let's just go directly out to your phone calls.
Let's go to Jeffrey in Rhode Island.
Jeffrey in Rhode Island, line number three.
Thank you for calling. You're on the air.
unidentified
Hi, Harrison. How's it going?
Good. Hi, I have a little thing that I saw the other day in my mind.
The true social logo, right?
If you turn it 90 degrees to the right, it looks like a faucet dripping water.
And I thought to myself, Drip, drip, drip.
In come the leaks.
And here come the whistleblowers.
So, I'm just enjoying the show.
harrison smith
What are your thoughts? Well, what do you mean by that?
You think Truth Social was set up for whistleblowers?
unidentified
No, I'm just saying, like, it was first put out there as a free speech platform, right?
So, I see Trump posting on there all the time.
He's only posting there.
And I like to think ahead or think with my mind or imagination, shall I say.
And I had turned my phone to the side one day and I looked at the logo and I was like, wait a minute.
So I looked at it again.
If you turn the true social logo 90 degrees to the right, right?
harrison smith
Our crew's doing it as we speak.
unidentified
If you turn it 90 degrees to the right, the color, that teal color represents water.
That L is the faucet.
That little white dot is the handle.
harrison smith
Right. Now I see it, but what's your interpretation of it?
unidentified
I think it's just a sign.
Leaks are coming. Watch the water.
harrison smith
Well, very well could be.
I don't know. I mean, we're still waiting.
I mean, is this a trust the plan thing?
unidentified
I don't know. I don't know.
It's just something I saw.
I just wanted to share it. You know, tickle people's brains and see where they go.
harrison smith
Interesting. Okay, yeah, I wasn't sure if this was like if you were like referencing the drip, drip, drip thing.
It sounds like a QAnon thing.
Is that a QAnon thing? Uh, no, no.
Is it, though? No, I'm just kidding.
Thank you for that, Jeffrey.
No, I had no doubt.
I mean, it is kind of a strange...
I don't know why they, like, have that section of the T cut out.
I don't know. It is a little bit odd.
Interesting stuff. Thank you for that, Jeffrey.
Let's go to Jeremiah in Ohio.
You want to talk about the Apple and Google Maps on January 6th?
Yeah, they wouldn't show people how to get to Washington, D.C. Thanks for calling in, Jeremiah.
unidentified
You're on the air. Hey, what's up, Harrison?
How are you? I'm doing good.
I just wanted to do a quick shout-out to all the mailmen out there and shout-out to the crew at American Journal.
You guys are doing a great job.
But, yeah, so me and my buddy, after January 6th, they were locking the city down.
Bowser or whoever the mayor is over there was locking the city down, and we were trying to get out.
And I was trying to GPS. Getting out with the Apple Maps, and it was taking me in a big circle, and it was being crazy.
And, you know, my buddy, we were freaking out.
Everybody's trying to leave the city, and I was like, wow, I never really kind of thought about it until you said something.
I was like, man, I know how to get out of here.
Let's just get on this bridge and get out of here.
That Apple Maps had us going in circles and crazy directions, and we're like, We didn't come in this way.
There's no way we would leave this way.
And it took us to this dead end under a bridge.
And that was so funny because I looked it up to see if there's any kind of article.
And that politifact came up and it said, mostly false.
And I'm like, really? It's mostly false?
So you're saying there's a tad bit of truth to it?
And it's just crazy.
I mean, that was kind of a revelation I had listening to you earlier.
harrison smith
Yeah, yeah. No, I remember it.
I mean, there's so much. You know, it's just another one of these things that, like, it's, like, kind of a huge deal, but, you know, so much stuff happens.
Like, people forget that this type of stuff took place.
Google Maps and Apple Maps literally, like, shut down, but only on January 6th, or the few days before, and only if you were looking to get direction in and around Washington, D.C. Everywhere else in the country was fine.
It just wouldn't give you directions to go to that rally on January 6th.
Let's see what PolitiFact says about it.
Google and Apple Maps won't give directions to Washington, D.C. because they don't want you going to a certain big rally.
Looking at claims that Google and Apple Maps are blocking protesters to going to D.C. If your time is short, Google Maps is providing directions to Washington, D.C. Apple Maps did not provide car directions to Washington, D.C. for some locations due to current road conditions.
Oh, right.
Yeah, it does not provide public transportation directions to D.C. Dozens of streets were closed to vehicular traffic in D.C. on January 5th and 6th.
Yeah, that's not how that works, actually.
That's not how it works.
They don't just go, I don't know, I don't know.
They shut down the streets, so just no directions to watch in D.C. I mean, the things they expect you to believe, these people, man, really is something else.
See how that happened? That really did happen.
And again, you can... You can speculate as to what happens next.
Once they get rid of cars, once they have social credit scores and central bank digital currency, it's not going to be they don't give you directions.
It's going to be you can't leave your home.
You can't go anywhere that you can't walk to.
And even if you want to walk, you got to scan your face to get through the barricades or else the police are coming.
So there's that.
Thanks for the call, Jeremiah.
Let's go to... Jay in Oklahoma.
Jay, thanks for calling in. You say you have the answer.
Go ahead, Jay. You're on the air. Yeah.
unidentified
Hey. So, the one thing these monsters like is money.
And that's what gives them their power.
So, Alex should...
People are frustrated and they want to do something and fight, but he doesn't want us to get violent.
So why not use Jones Tax Relief and everybody put in for a...
Extension on their taxes until we get some representatives in there that actually represent us.
And maybe somebody should go in there to take away this income tax because it was never designed in the Constitution when it was originated.
Right. That's the answer.
Yeah. And where's my Turbo...
Where's my Vitamin Fusion?
I got my Turbo Force.
I got plenty of that.
And yeah, I'm a little hyped up on it, and I love it.
And I got all your other...
harrison smith
Your vitamin and mineral fusion got lost in the mail?
Is that what happened? No, no.
unidentified
I'm out. I ran out, and you guys got to get some more in.
Let's go. Let's go. I'm just playing.
harrison smith
That's why you got to stock up.
The crew is telling me it'll be back very soon.
It'll be back very soon on Infowarsstore.com.
But lots of other stuff still in stock, but selling out fast.
If you want to get a product at Infowarsstore, if you see it and it's on sale and in stock, you better grab it because it may be selling out quickly.
Thank you so much for the call. Great stuff as always, Jay.
Really appreciate it. Let's go to Wild in Wisconsin now.
Let's talk about the continuation of these show trials.
Go ahead, Wild. You're on the air.
icarus in wisconsin
Yeah, I was wondering about the show trials with Hunter Biden, the Prince of America.
And, you know, it's kind of a good example of, like, green privilege.
You know, they talk about, like, white privilege and black privilege and star power and stuff.
But, like, people forget this is one of the negative sides of having the false idol of money in the world today.
And I mean, like, Hunter's like a perfect example of, he's like the Hyperion of Democrats right now.
You know, like, weird sex stuff and drugs, etc., etc.
And, you know, however, it's kind of sad because it's like hush-hush on the healthcare hospital holocaust, you know, cough-cough, two weeks, honk-honk for that, and, you know, Ashley Rabbit and seven other citizens murdered on J6, you know.
So it's like other stuff that should be talked about on the Congress floor is just literally non-existent.
I don't know why it takes literally years or so long for such basic things to be done.
And lastly, since it's after June right now, with Hunter Biden, he's such a good example of what it is to be a modern technocrat today.
And even with all his power and money, he still ends up just having sex all the time.
And, you know, now that it's July, you know, not June anymore, LGBTQ month, it kind of highlights, you know, the gold standard of hetero standard male and female sex as like the gold standard of the human sexual experience.
Of course, with mutual big O and impregnation, and everything else is just a facsimile, imitation, and satanic comparison.
I don't know.
unidentified
I thought, do you agree it's a gold standard or no?
icarus in wisconsin
I know you know Harrison, actually, right?
harrison smith
Yeah. I'm not sure I'm totally following you.
I think I get what you're saying there, but I also think you have a good point about The fact that Hunter Biden is, like, gallivanting around the world and making millions of dollars, doing absolutely nothing, and you look at his photos, and you look at his emails and texts...
icarus in wisconsin
The importance of love.
harrison smith
Does he look particularly happy?
Does he look satisfied and content with his life?
Or does it look like a frenetic mess?
Does it look like a disgusting, hateful quagmire of just disturbances?
Like, it's...
That is, that does make us the perfect image of our modern world.
unidentified
All right, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
harrison smith
We're going to take a little detour now.
It's a very odd situation.
Very strange.
You may remember, all the way back in 2021, There's a very bizarre Travis Scott concert where a bunch of people died.
Do y'all remember that?
Remember the gigantic satanic images?
Him presiding over?
Looked to be like some sort of bizarre human sacrifice ritual.
That was Travis Scott, right?
Astroworld? Yeah.
Well, uh...
Apparently, he was going to perform in Egypt.
Do y'all know, is Travis Scott banned from performing here?
There's some back and forth on it.
So... I guess he's facing legal problems still stemming from this bizarre open-air human sacrifice ritual where a bunch of people were dying while he was lording over them, looking down at them, and there was all these accusations of people passing out needles and a giant eye watching it all.
Just very creepy, satanic imagery that baffled and confused and horrified us while it happened.
Well, he was supposed to give a concert at the Pyramids in Egypt, but it's been canceled.
So let's take a look now at the video explaining why they shut this down.
Clip number 12. Acclaimed rapper Travis Scott had his concert that was set to perform at Egypt's Pyramids of Giza.
It's been canceled. Let's watch.
He says, what are the reasons for your call to cancel the show of American rapper Travis Scott?
Why is there such controversy?
He responds, the singer has a black record.
He is known to be a staunch supporter of global Freemasonry.
Interesting. He says, and the Afrocentric organization that opposes Egyptian identity and heritage.
We've taken all legal measures to prevent this show.
In his shows, this American rapper performs the full range of satanic rites.
The well-being of Egyptian citizens, he says, is more important to us than holding such a show.
And justifying it by saying that we need to invigorate tourism.
This rapper is banned from singing and holding in shows in the U.S. since 2021.
In his latest show, dozens were killed and hundreds wounded.
Is there really that many?
Eyewitnesses reported that the type of music he was playing Radiated negative energy.
And bizarre things happened to people who attended the show.
Again, I'm not a Muslim.
I'm not exactly a fan of the Muslim religion.
I think it's got a lot of big problems.
That being said...
Is there a Christian nation on the planet that would have that kind of reaction?
Maybe it's a Middle Eastern Christian.
Maybe it's a Middle Eastern thing, less than a Muslim thing.
But it's like you've got the story of the Muslim billionaire buying this building smack dab in the center of historic London to build it into a mosque.
Right? As like a symbol, as like giving back to his people, as a symbol of conquest over London.
Then you have, you know, in a...
Wait, what?
There's a headline saying it hasn't been canceled.
Okay, well... Well, at least they're trying.
At least they get on TV and are like, yeah, this is satanic black magic and we're not going to allow it in Egypt.
The ticket company's like, what about money?
Can we tempt you with money?
It's like, did you not hear what we just said about Satan?
Get behind me. Alright, welcome back.
Ladies and gentlemen, the third hour has begun on this Thursday, July 20th broadcast.
Infowars.com, band.video.
Very happy to be joined by Mark Ivano.
He's a Houston-based attorney and executive director of Republicans for National Renewal, a grassroots project that is encouraging America First patriots to get involved in politics as leaders on the precinct level in their voting districts.
He served in the Trump DOJ and is here to talk about the growing number of indictments the left is stacking up against President Trump.
The website is rnrenewal.org.
His Twitter can be found at Mark Ivano, I-V-A-N-Y-O. Thank you so much.
Thank you for joining us, Mark. Hello, Harrison.
unidentified
Thank you for having me. I've been a tremendous fan of Infowars for close to two decades now, so it's a real honor to be here.
harrison smith
Wow, wonderful to hear.
Well, thank you so much for coming on.
How many indictments are there against Trump at this point?
unidentified
Yeah, I think there's probably, what is it, 40-plus at this point, which is kind of crazy.
I mean, talk about reeking of desperation.
We've never seen anything like this.
I know there's always, you know, a few months ago we were saying, oh, this is unprecedented times.
How could this happen?
But now we're having another indictment coming by, one in the works.
And so it's kind of like it is always, every following week, there's always an unprecedented moment happening today.
And so it's kind of crazy, and you'd think that if Hillary Clinton was not getting indicted at all, then nobody could get indicted.
But here we are with President Trump having 40-plus indictments.
harrison smith
Yeah, and, you know, I was talking about a little bit earlier in the show that you've got the two different views of this to us or to myself.
I won't speak for you, but to myself, all of these indictments show the desperation.
As you point out, they show a totally corrupt system desperately trying to stick something on this guy they don't like.
It's evidence of corruption in the DOJ and the charging parties.
To the Democrats, it's the opposite.
It's evidence of Trump's criminality.
Oh, but he's been indicted so many times.
But he's been impeached twice.
So the same information, two totally different takeaways from it.
How do we bridge this gap or...
How do you make the argument that this is evidence of corruption in the DOJ and not evidence of criminality of Trump?
unidentified
Well, you're right.
There is a stigma with being indicted, right?
People will usually think, oh, well, since they've been indicted, surely there's some kind of evidence of wrongdoing.
But when you look at the actual indictments, you see, well, this evidence is shaky at best.
I think even MSNBC has pointed out, well, this is kind of unprecedented territory or it's a little shaky.
We're not sure if Brad can pull it off in New York, for example.
The federal investigators already checked this out and said that Trump was clear.
And so I think it's more the strategy here for them is throwing roadblocks in Trump's way, right?
They don't want him to— I think it's more of a tactic of trying to impede, more so than it is actually trying to get a conviction, although they are trying to set up these trials prior to the election, which will make it even more difficult, because President Trump is traveling around the country.
And he doesn't really have time to go and sit down for a trial over what appears to be frivolous charges or malicious prosecution.
And so I think this is more of a—obviously political—and you mentioned that, yeah, Democrats are saying, well, this is evidence of wrongdoing.
We need to investigate it.
Has any former president been investigated?
Like I said, Hillary Clinton was not a former president, but she hasn't been investigated.
President Obama was never investigated for all his scandals.
The left absolutely hated George W. Bush.
He was never investigated, because guess what?
He was part of the club. He was part of the establishment.
And so, of course, he gets an easy pass.
And now the left is actually praising George W. Bush.
Oh, he's a nice guy. He was pictured with the Obamas.
Meanwhile, President Trump is not part of that group.
He's against that group, and so obviously has a big target on his back.
We've never seen the establishment come after anyone like this before, and so I think that's indicative that President Trump is who we need for the people of America.
harrison smith
Point out, I mean, the process is the punishment, even if he's completely exonerated on all of this, the time and money and effort it will take that it will distract him from being on the campaign trail.
No matter where it goes from here already, what they've done, what they've engaged in and what they plan to do is election interference.
I mean, this is the Department of Justice severely hampering.
I mean, this is like, you know, having a horse run a race, but you hobble at first.
Like it may still be able to move along, but you've already rigged the race before it ever began.
So, I mean, is there a way to postpone this until after the election?
Is that even a possibility or, you know, what's how can they do this?
How can they get away with this?
It makes no sense.
unidentified
I agree.
This is a lawfare for sure.
Lawfare to the degree we've never seen.
I think, you know, when I was younger, I always thought, this kind of corruption happens in third-world countries, maybe in Venezuela, somewhere in Haiti, or even Mexico.
It would never happen here.
Meanwhile, it's actually been happening here for a long time.
It's just now out in the open.
And I know President Trump's lawyers have been pushing to continue or reset the trial to a further date, perhaps after the election, which would make more sense.
But it's pretty tough when the prosecutors are not agreeing, then it's left up to the judge.
Well, if you have a biased judge, then it's going to be pretty tough.
The judge is probably going to say, yeah, we have to have it now.
I think there is some kind of solace that we can take in the fact that if or when President Trump is elected, He can likely wipe away the charges on the federal level against him because he has the pardon ability.
As far as the state charges, well, I think that case is so tenuous that he probably won't even get— I think I think I think I think Yeah,
harrison smith
seriously, and it's really not that hard to rig if you look back at history.
I mean, there have been examples of this.
You get the right judge, you can really bend the whole framework of law and order to your will, and the deep state are experts at that.
One thing that's very weird, you know, outside of the New York district attorney...
Sex one. It's just ridiculous and just incredibly strange I would even go for that one.
Jack Smith has apparently just been...
He's just the hitman.
He's just go get Trump.
He's in charge of the Georgia documents investigation, the documents or the Georgia election interference investigation, the Mar-a-Lago documents investigation and the January 6th investigation into Donald Trump.
So they just gave this guy carte blanche and just said go get him.
I mean are these three different investigations?
Are they all part of one investigation?
How How the hell do you justify giving one random dude who's been in Europe for the last five years the power to carry out all three of these simultaneous investigations at once?
To me, it's blatant corruption, but how are they even getting away with this?
unidentified
The irony is that if they wanted to investigate election interference, they could start with social media, with Jack Dorsey, the old Twitter, Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, Instagram.
There's plenty of examples of election interference, and President Trump should be the last person investigated.
Even the FBI themselves, who refused to investigate Hunter Biden, tried to silence any content about Hunter Biden's activities.
And also went after President Trump with a very zealous spirit.
So it's kind of amazing to me that they're investigating election interference, but it comes down to President Trump, but not all these other actors.
And frankly, President Trump's alleged election interference is so minimal compared to what Democrats have done all over the country, particularly in Michigan, where they're bringing in a van full of thousands of ballots.
It's all on camera.
Not a peep. No one does anything about it.
Meanwhile, they're indicting, I think it was 16, grassroots activists for President Trump for conservatives.
Most of them, the average age, I think, is 70 years old.
And so they're guilty of election interference.
But you have thousands of ballots being brought in in multiple locations, and you can't get any kind of even investigation, let alone an indictment.
harrison smith
Sort of makes it seem hopeless, doesn't it?
It sort of makes it seem like the entire system is rigged from the top to the bottom.
Horrifying stuff. But Mark Evagno, we'll be back on the other side to talk about maybe one way we can fix this from the ground up, from the grassroots.
I'm extremely, extremely intrigued by this process.
We'll be back with Mark Evagno, rnrenewal.org.
We'll be right back. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
Very happy to have my guest with me, Mark Ivano.
He can be found on Twitter, at Mark Ivano.
And his website is rnrenewal.org.
And we'll talk about that in just a second.
It's Republicans for National Renewal.
And we'll get to that, and I encourage you to stay tuned for it because I really think this is one of the only things that gives me hope these days because we've actually seen it have tangible positive effect in places like Idaho.
So we'll get to that. So stay tuned for that because we're going to spend some time on how you can get involved and really make a difference.
And I'm not just saying these aren't just words, but we'll get to that.
I'm just excited, but we'll get to that.
I want to stick with the Trump indictments because, of course, you are an attorney at law.
And you understand this stuff, but a lot of this is speculation about the latest charges.
CNN has the story, what to know about the potential criminal charges Trump faces in special counsel's probe in the 2020 election aftermath.
They say that he's been delivered a letter from Jack Smith's team on Sunday informing them that their client would face charges in the investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
That's what two sources familiar with the situation told to CNN.
They say he could be charged with charges, indictments pertaining to deprivation of rights, conspiracy to commit offense against or defraud the United States, and tampering with a witness.
And of course, he's already facing criminal charges from Smith in the special counsel's probe into the former president's unlawful retention of classified materials having to do with the Mar-a-Lago document case.
But when it comes to this latest stuff, again, it's speculation.
But what's your just first blush take of this?
Them talking about him depriving voters' rights or defrauding the United States.
What are they even talking about?
unidentified
So, I think it's a tenuous case as far as evidence is concerned, but I think their angle at this is to get something under the 14th Amendment or a court order that says that President Trump participated in some sort of insurrection or something against the United States, action against the United States, and so therefore he's unqualified to be president.
Again, I think it's a long shot.
It's a little desperate.
But at this point, it seems like they're going to try to find anything they can, much like a plaintiff's attorney in a personal injury case.
They throw the kitchen sink at the court, and then they find whatever can stick.
In this case, it's the same situation.
They're just throwing everything they can find, no matter how weak it is, and hoping that it'll stick.
And so that's probably their mission on this one.
But again, it remains to be seen what the actual charges will be.
I think that'll be more indicative of what their angle is.
Obviously, right now, it's a speculation.
I do find it interesting, though, that a lot of Republican leaders are mostly silent about this.
You'd think they'd be raising all kinds of hell.
Maybe they'll write a really strongly worded letter out to the prosecutor to really tell them that they're in the wrong and they're being hypocritical, and that's And that actually would be a step ahead for a lot of these Republican leaders who are just staying away from it, or they'll shyly just say, well, I don't think this is good for our democracy, and they leave it at that.
harrison smith
Right. They'll let the DOJ put Trump in prison, and then they'll summon DOJ to answer questions about it, and the DOJ will say, yeah, we're looking into that, and then we'll move on to the next big crisis that they fabricate, and nothing will ever be done about it.
You know, You said earlier, you said in the last segment, well, first of all, I love, my friend came up with a saying, I don't know if he, if this was just sort of a, what's the term, like spoonerism or whatever, where he mixed it up a little bit, but he said they're throwing the book at him to see what sticks.
I think that's such a good way to put it.
Throw the book at the guy and then see what sticks.
But you were talking about how you sort of expect this to happen in third world countries where there's sort of endemic corruption and their system is just not as strong as America's.
But it was never really about the system, was it?
My assumption was always this doesn't happen in America because the American people wouldn't stand for it.
The American people understand.
They understand liberty. They understand government overreach and how dangerous that is.
And they would be outraged if something like that ever happened here.
That to me is the most troubling part, is that not that the government's doing it, but that the American people are going along with it.
The American people, our fellow citizens, are celebrating this tyranny.
That's what's so baffling and kind of heartbreaking to me.
Do you see that same thing, or is this just people being uninformed and not knowing what they're cheering on?
unidentified
I think there's two issues here.
So first, you have the average American liberal.
I think when they see things like this happening, their first instinct is to think, well, this sounds kind of bad.
I don't know if I support this.
But then a few seconds later, they think, well, it's not our guy that this is happening to.
It's President Trump.
It's these horrible conservatives.
It's happening to these fascists and these Nazis.
As CNN told me, MSNBC told me, these people are the worst people in the world.
They're just like Hitler. So, you know, if we bend the judge's arm a little bit or we have a little corruption against them, it's okay with us.
harrison smith
It actually makes them a hero.
I mean, they're stopping Hitler.
Who wouldn't bend the rules a little bit?
Who wouldn't fill out some extra mail-in ballots?
You're saving the world from Hitler, after all.
Sorry to interrupt, but I think it's a very accurate observation, yeah.
unidentified
Yeah, don't let the Constitution stop you.
This is Hitler, basically.
So the Constitution goes out the window, and you can just attack them and destroy them.
The second issue is we've had so many immigrants, both illegal and legal, coming here in the last decade, and they don't have the same loyalty to our country.
They don't have the same fidelity to the Constitution, our history.
They're just happy to be here.
You know, they have a job. They're making far more money than they would make at home.
And so, oh, there's a little corruption.
Well, still better than Venezuela.
A little corruption. Well, it's not Somalia.
Oh, I got locked down for two months.
Well, still better than where I came from.
So I'm not too concerned about all this stuff going on and the political turmoil.
It's still far better than where I came from.
And so the Democrats have actually been very wise in, first of all, indoctrinating the left.
But also bringing in a lot of new citizens who have absolutely no loyalty and no sense of how far corruption is too much corruption and what is kind of an inherent corruption that you're going to have in any system.
And so when you have those two things combined, it's very tough for the native America-loving citizens to fight back, although we are still a majority, and we have convinced the majority of people.
I think it's more of a lack of action from a lot of people.
Most people aren't bothered until it affects their wallets.
They're too distracted by other things, such as sports.
And I think the whole grooming of children and drag queen story hour has kind of awakened some folks, but I still think we're far away from actually fighting against this tyranny as a people, as opposed to I think a lot of people also expect their elected officials to do the fighting, right? That's why we elected them, so they could fight against the corruption, but they're kind of asleep at the wheel, or they're getting paid off under the table, and they're really not doing a whole lot.
harrison smith
Yeah, you know, I think you're right.
And I think that's a very interesting observation about the immigrant factor.
Because again, it's not, you know, it's not saying that like, migrants are inherently corroded, they're more okay with, but, you know, talk, talk to people from Middle Eastern countries, talk to people from South American countries.
And I have a friend from a Middle Eastern country.
And he's like, yeah, back home, like, everybody gets paid for their vote.
Your vote's valuable. Why shouldn't you get paid for it?
And why shouldn't you vote for the person who's going to pay you the most?
It's like, this is normal.
And it's totally at odds with the American morality, the American ideal of your vote is kind of sacred.
You would never sell it.
It's your empowerment as a citizen.
You don't sell that. But for people from other countries, they just don't have that same history or sort of built-in, baked-in way of thinking about things like voting.
So... Again, it's a different way of doing things.
It's not an American way, and when you import that and don't conform to the American way, it causes a lot of problems.
I think that's a very brilliant point.
We're going to move on to the RNRenewal.org, the Republicans for National Renewal grassroots project to get people involved in the precinct level.
This is the way that we save our nation.
So we're done talking about the problems.
Let's talk about solutions on the other side.
Back, folks. Harrison Smith here with Mark Ivano, Houston-based attorney and executive director of Republicans for National Renewal.
If you want to find him on Twitter, it's at Mark Ivano.
You can see what he's up to meeting with everybody who's anybody in the Republican alternative sphere.
We'll talk about some of the people that you've met recently, but let's first talk about Republicans for National Renewal, rnrenewal.org.
This is a strategy to really get involved in politics.
This is a call to action to everybody listening.
This is something that you can do in your own town, in your own city, doesn't matter where you are, who you are.
This is something that you can do to have really an outsized impact on politics, a tangible impact, something that you can actually be proud of and show your work and show your results of.
So explain to us what this tactic is and how our listeners can get involved with Republicans for National Renewal.
unidentified
That's right, Harrison. So we've had booths at several different events across the country, and we always have, whether it's Zoomers, Boomers, or someone in between, they always come to us and say, you know, I'm really passionate about this.
I want to get involved. How can I make a difference, particularly in my local district?
And we have a project called We the Precinct where we encourage people to sign up to be precinct chairs, delegates, the term varies per state, but basically take control of your local party, and that's really where it starts, having that foundation, having that infrastructure.
Once you have the America First patriots in control of the local party, now we can start moving towards taking over the state level and then ultimately the federal level to build that infrastructure within the party so that when there is a next national populist representative out of your state or if President Trump gets in office in now we can start moving towards taking over the state level and then ultimately the federal level to build that infrastructure within the party so that when there is a next national populist representative out of your state or if President
And so on our website, we have a lot of tools for precinct chairs, delegates, a lot of resolutions where they can kind of weed out the rhinos.
You present a resolution, people need to sign off on it.
If they don't, you know, they're probably a rhino.
And so I encourage everyone in your audience to check it out.
Get involved. And really, as you said, where it starts is at your local community, and everyone can do something there, whether it's block walking, whether it's volunteering for these positions, whether it's watching the elections.
Or I understand some people are very busy.
They're working. They don't have time to volunteer.
They can still donate, because they're making more money by focusing on their job.
And that's fine, too. But everyone should be involved at some level.
This is far more important than any sports game you're watching, any TV show on Netflix.
You should be passionate about your politics and what's happening in this country.
And so that's what we're trying to do, is to empower the average citizen, the American First patriot, to get involved and take control of the Republican Party.
harrison smith
So, yeah, I think it's brilliant.
I think you're exactly right. I mean, you know, what we need now is not just Trump to get into it.
We need the groundswell.
We need him to be backed up by dozens of congressmen and dozens of senators all, you know, pushing the same America First agenda.
And the way that happens is through the precincts.
So let's just make it ultimately simple.
Like, if somebody, they want to get involved, they're sick of seeing what's happening to their country, But they don't, you know, you can protest, but what good is that going to do?
And then it's going to get you on a watch list and blah, blah, blah.
Yeah, I can go volunteer, but I don't know if the candidate I'm supporting is right.
Like, if they want to go do something today, right now, when this show's over at 11 a.m.
Central Time, what can they go do?
Where do they go? What is step number one for them?
Is it, like, how do they, I guess for me it'd be like identifying your local precinct.
Is that step number one?
unidentified
Yes, I'd say so. In fact, you'd be surprised how many precinct chair slots are completely unfilled.
Even here in Houston, there's hundreds of them.
harrison smith
What does that mean? What is a precinct chair slot?
What does that mean? So...
unidentified
The county's broken up into different sections, and so within—it's basically going to be confined to your neighborhood and a little bit abroad from that.
But basically, you take control of that.
You're responsible for block walking and making sure the voters come out in that specific area.
And so right now, we have a deficit in a lot of areas where people just really aren't active.
But we can look at the example that President Obama and the Democrats used, which was community organizing.
That's how they got so much power in the first place.
And we all laughed that Obama was a community organizer.
He's small-time. He's not going to make a difference.
Meanwhile, he has a huge community behind him backing their agenda, their Marxist-communist agenda, which is very unpopular with the people.
But they took so much power in their local area that they were able to propel it and actually get elected.
And so we want to copy that strategy, but do it for Republicans.
Get involved in your local area.
Get the community involved.
Once you get that much power, now you can start making decisions that affect the Republican Party, which is in desperate need of a renewal.
harrison smith
Yeah, and so there's a pretty strong likelihood that if you go to your precinct, there's not going to be anybody from your area that's in charge.
So it's going to be you.
Like you go there and you go, I want to be precinct chair, and then you're precinct chair.
I mean, is that as simple as it is if the chair is empty?
I mean, it's just whoever shows up gets to take the position, or do you need to fulfill any certain parameters or anything?
unidentified
Yeah, that's essentially it. You just go ahead and take it over.
No one's there. You have no competition.
So it's open for the taking.
And like I said, I'm not just talking about Houston, but it could be anywhere.
If you go and check, there probably is a deficit.
It's likely there's a deficit, because if there wasn't a deficit, we probably wouldn't be in the situation we are in now.
harrison smith
Right. Okay, so you go to Google or you go to the internet and you just type, like, what's my Republican precinct?
And then are there monthly meetings that you can attend?
You know, if somebody hears this and goes, wait, I can be a precinct chair if I just show up?
I'll show up. How do they know when and where to show up?
unidentified
You know, it varies by state, and on our website, we do have a forum where you can go put in your information, and it'll lead you exactly where to go and what to do.
But like I said, it varies by state, so it's tough to say for any specific state.
But yeah, usually, you know, you get in contact with a local party, you find out, you can look up online whether or not that precinct chair spot is taken.
And if it's empty, yeah, you basically say, well, hey, I live in this area, and I want to be a precinct chair, and you pretty much have it.
It's not a very difficult job.
That's awesome. Again, it's a volunteer basis.
You're not getting paid for it, so maybe some people shy away because of that.
But, you know, for young folks, maybe college students, or for older folks who may be retired or close to retirement, it's a great thing to do.
harrison smith
But is it a lot of work?
It seems like pretty easy.
Is it monthly meetings?
You just show up and you get to hang out with other people with, you know, Hopefully, you're like-minded Republicans like yourself, and then you get to strategize.
So is it a lot of work, or how much effort is involved in being a precinct chair?
unidentified
Yeah, generally speaking, I mean, it varies, but generally speaking, I don't think it's that many hours.
It depends also how active you want to be, right?
I mean, you could be doing block walks every weekend.
You could be doing it every other week or once a month, so it really depends on you.
But I still think it's better to have someone in that position than for it to be vacant.
And even if you can't devote as much time to it, again, still at least you're there, you're active, and you can also encourage others to help you out.
And so, ultimately, we need just people to fill those spots and do some work, which is far better than just having a vacant, as we have right now, a huge amount of vacancies.
harrison smith
And so then once you're a precinct chair, how does that translate into moving the entire Republican Party?
Because people are so, I personally am so frustrated with the Republican Party right now.
How is us going and taking over the precinct chairs, how does that manifest into actually changing the whole trajectory of the Republican Party?
unidentified
Well, so then you have a vote.
As far as your local county GOP is concerned, you have a say.
And so when we have more grassroots patriots in these positions, the vote's obviously going to be more America first, more populist.
And so as opposed to just having the establishment taking control, which we see even in a lot of local parties, especially here in Houston, we have a lot of people filling these positions, but most of them are establishment.
They're Dan Crenshaw supporters.
They're like Senator John Cornyn.
But if you get more of the American First Patriots in those slots, they have a vote, too, and they can cancel out or override the votes of the establishment figures who are very content to just be in those positions and push business as usual.
And so that's where the power comes in, is the power of the people.
When you have those positions, now your voice really matters, as opposed to speaking out to an audience who may or may not listen.
They have to listen to your vote.
harrison smith
See, this really is a viable solution.
We don't get a lot of viable solutions here.
You know, it's hard to know what you do when the entire establishment is against you, but this is a way to take over the Republican establishment, literally, from the grassroots.
Nobody's stopping you, and you want to get involved.
You can make a difference.
Go to rnrenewal.org.
Go become a precinct chair.
Enough of us do this.
We can sway the entire National Republican Party to the American First agenda.
We'll be right back with Mark Ivano.
Welcome back, folks. Final segment of the American Journal this morning.
I'm here with Mark Ivano, at Mark Ivano on Twitter.
You can also find Republicans for National Renewal on Twitter at RNRenewal.
RNRenewal.org is the website where you can go, and you can just see the video on their homepage.
There, I think, there's John Doyle talking.
you got alex stein just a who's who of sort of right-wing uh powerhouses helping to promote this idea of going and getting involved in your precinct becoming a precinct chair and then having actual tangible power in the republican party to make a positive difference this has already had a major success a series of successes in states all over the country it's
It's probably the number one comment I get is, what do we do?
I want to get involved. I want to be a part of something.
I want to throw my hat in the ring and I'm tired of just sitting back and watching what's going on.
How do I take action?
This is how you do it.
This is the organization, this is the tactic, I think, has a major chance of actually rescuing this country, going, getting involved, becoming a precinct chair.
It literally could be a couple hours a month that you are actually dedicating to this, and yet you can change the trajectory of the entire nation, and that is incredibly powerful.
So go to rnrenewal.org.
But it doesn't even stop there, does it, Mark?
You've got An international aspect to this that I know is very exciting.
Can you tell us a little bit about the conservative coalition that you're building around the world?
unidentified
That's correct, Harrison. So we have our domestic mission, which is to renew the Republican Party, take it over from the grassroots level up.
We also have an international mission, which is to connect Republicans to national populist leaders in Europe, because they've had national populism far longer than we have.
You know, we've had it since President Trump ushered it in.
But they've been doing it for a long time, especially in places like Hungary.
And then there's also national populist parties all over Europe, even in Portugal now with Chega.
There's Lega in Italy.
There's the Swedish Democrats in Sweden.
And so, again, they've been doing it for a long time.
And so we've been kind of building this bridge to connect young Republicans with the youth wings of these parties.
We've hosted events in Budapest and Hungary, outside of CPAC Hungary.
And the whole point of this is to build a coalition of conservatives.
Because as your audience likely knows, the globalists, the elitists, whatever you want to call them, they have a very well-coordinated, well-funded operation where they give their marching orders.
And every leftist, not just in the United States, in Europe, are following those marching orders They're having the same exact message, and they're destroying us with that.
We're always on the defensive.
So the only way to go on the offensive is to build this global coalition Where everyone respects everyone else—you know, America first, Hungary first, etc., every country represents their people first—but also we can cooperate to fight back against the globalists and these powers that be who seek to undermine and destroy Western civilization.
And so we've actually facilitated the cooperation between some parties, conservative parties in Europe, who historically did not work together, whether it's, you know, a past grievance, past history that, oh, I don't like that party because, you know, 100 years ago they did us wrong.
But now they're realizing, well, the enemy against us is a mutual enemy and we need to work together and we'll never go on the offensive unless we work together.
And so that's our international mission.
I plan on being in Serbia in early November to speak there and moderate a panel discussion with conservatives all across the world.
But again, the whole point of this is to mount an offensive against the radical left, the Marxists, the globalists, instead of just constantly being beat back over and over as has happened here, but also is happening in Europe as well.
harrison smith
Yeah, and Hungary is such a great example because, you know, people so often now, they see what D.C. is like, and it really makes them hopeless that there will ever be a political solution to this.
I mean, a lot of people I know in our audience have given up on the idea that you can vote your way out of this.
Well, you're not going to be able to vote for one guy and have that one guy fix everything.
That's a ridiculous idea, and anybody who thinks that about Trump is— Missing the big picture.
The big picture is we don't just need Trump.
We need a coalition behind him.
We need congressmen and senators and activists all working together.
To pursue this goal, not just electing one singular person.
And you take a look at a place like Hungary, where you get the right people in office, they start enacting policies that solve the problems that we're dealing with.
I mean, Hungary is such a great example of a place that had a falling birthrate until they simply changed the tax code around a little bit, and now their population is growing again.
I mean, these problems are not insurmountable.
Many of them are imminently solvable.
We just don't have the right people in place.
So through You know, Republicans for National Renewal are just this precinct tactic in general.
We can get the right people to get the right policies to correct so much of what's going on because it's not too late and we have not gone over the edge.
But do you experience that a lot with people sort of just going, oh, you want a precinct captain voting?
Yeah, right. This system's so gone.
I mean, do you deal with that sort of pessimism a lot?
unidentified
Yeah, you know, there's a lot of nihilists.
You just want to see it all burned down and, you know, the system's too far gone.
And I can understand the sentiment, but at the same time, there's really—it's not a point to give up.
As you said, I mean, you still have a voice, especially in your local community, because— You know, a lot of things that happen in D.C. on the federal level don't really affect a lot of Americans, for the most part.
It's really local affects you the most.
Your state's going to affect you.
And so you can have a fortified state.
I mean, look at Florida, for example.
They've fortified a lot of things.
Texas, although we have a lot of rhinos here, we've still done a fairly good job compared to a lot of other states as far as, you know, conservative policies, such as getting transgender surgery on minors.
sense thing, but it's controversial nowadays.
harrison smith
Right.
unidentified
Yeah, your local communities, even in California, of all places, I've seen a lot of local conservative communities be pretty solid, even if it's made up of Armenians or Hispanic Americans who you'd think would vote Democrat, a lot of them are actually conservative.
And so really, once you fortify your own place, I think you're in solid standing.
And at least you have some immunity to a lot of things that are happening on the federal level.
But again, that's simply a starting point.
You have to have that foundation. And once you have a solid foundation, then you can start building.
harrison smith
But a lot of people try to jump We're good to go.
We have all the missiles. You don't try to out-missile them, right?
So our enemies in this fight for globalism versus nationalism, they have all the money.
They have a lot of top-down control at the national level.
They have a lot of media savvy and a lot of psychological operations they're carrying out.
But they don't have the people.
They don't have the activists actually going and becoming precinct chairs and getting involved in the party.
And the left does a little bit.
But this is where we can beat them because this is where our strength lies.
They can have all the money in the world.
It can be outweighed by the number of activists that we have who don't need any money to go do what we're talking about doing.
All you need is the time or the effort or the drive to go do this.
So if enough of our people go out and get these precinct chairs, we can actually overpower all of those other advantages they have with our sheer force of weight of people.
We're already seeing this. It's not speculation.
It's not a pie-in-the-ice dream.
Look at places like Idaho where they're actually already having tangible effects.
I'm sorry, you were just saying something?
unidentified
You know what, you're right, and I want to give a shout-out to Scott Pressler.
He's been a great activist, and he's a perfect example of what you've been describing.
I saw a speech at Con recently where he was saying, Republicans are going to be ballot harvesting.
We're going to be collecting those mail-in ballots.
We're going to be doing all the tactics of the left in order to be competitive.
We fully agree and support him in that mission.
And our aggressors director has worked with Scott Pressler.
And so that's what we need to do to win.
We can't just keep saying, well, our ideas are good enough.
We'll win that way. No, you need to get out there and use the same tactics because if they're scuffing the ball and you're playing by the rules, you will always lose.
harrison smith
Yeah, 100%. And you can go and become precinct chair, and then you can go get a dozen more people.
And if those dozen people get a dozen people, I mean, we need that snowball effect.
We need that to reach that critical mass.
And then it's game over for the leftist liberals and the globalists.
Quickly, I know that you guys put on a really big event that you wanted to talk about.
Your Christmas, is it a Christmas event, Christmas party?
I know you want to tell us about that.
unidentified
Yeah, it's our annual Christmas reception in Phoenix in December.
It's going to be right outside of TPUSA's AmFest.
We've had great people like Congressman Paul Gassar, Cary Lake, Blake Masters, Abe Hameday, my main man Alex Stein, Anthony Sabatini, and I think this one will be huge considering the momentum and energy behind America First Now.
I think people support Trump probably now more than ever, maybe compared to The only time they support Trump more is maybe 2016.
And so I think it's going to be a huge event.
I encourage anyone who's going to be attending TPUSA's AmFest, check out our events.
A lot of TPUSA folks will be there as well.
They support us. We support them.
And we're all trying to just do the right thing, fight for America first, and get the grassroots to take over the Republican Party.
harrison smith
