It means that somebody like Governor Ron DeSantis could declare an emergency and just change the laws of the nation. | |
| I've had enough of people declaring emergencies in order to take control of our lives. | ||
| I know that mass shootings are bad, but if we're going to do the numbers, then let's do the numbers, okay? | ||
| It's exceedingly rare compared to car fatalities. | ||
| Why don't we declare emergencies on that? | ||
| We can declare emergencies on anything. | ||
| This is—it's part of a bigger problem that we're seeing unfold—permission to go, Alex Jones. | ||

I'm going to decline. | |
| Okay, this 30-day suspension of a constitutional right is meant to be a trial balloon, right? | ||
| A test for something that may happen in the next year in the run-up to the election, saying that the Second Amendment is not absolute, and then having a few gun control fanatics go, hold on, that's theater. | ||
| You got Trump. Trump's... | ||
| I feel like he's going to go to jail. | ||
| You're seeing parents being cleaved from their kids with this bill in California. | ||
| Free speech. It's not just the Second Amendment. | ||
| You've got the First Amendment. | ||
| There's a number of examples of free speech being flexible. | ||
| Right? You know, you could lose your medical license, you know, if you decide to say something different about COVID. We now know that the government did suppress, try to suppress information, First Amendment, so that people wouldn't speak out against what they believe to be right. | ||
| You have these retail theft laws, you know, the $900 ceiling. | ||
| That's another trial balloon for the end of private property in my conspiratorial theater. | ||
| You can see these all kind of go together. | ||
| You're seeing an attack on speech. | ||
| You're seeing an attack on personal protection. | ||
| If you get mugged, I mean, look at the guy on the subway who tried to save people's lives. | ||
| If you look at theft, end of private property. | ||
| I have a feeling that this timing is strange here, and it might get very weird. | ||
| I think this next election will make the other two, I don't know, look like a game of pickleball among friends. | ||
| I mean, why would you suspend the Second Amendment? | ||
| So, and this is where I become Alex Jones, so militarized action will succeed without friction. | ||

Stage an event, call a clampdown, disarm the public. | |
| Very good. Thank you. Judge, does it drive you crazy? | ||
| There's Greg Gutfeld, so-called Going Alex Jones. | ||
| No, that's not Going Alex Jones. | ||
| This is Going Alex Jones, clip two. | ||

|
And I have FBI crime statistics that come out a year late. | |
| 2011, 20-plus percent crime drop in the last nine years. | ||
| Real violent crime because more guns means less crime. | ||
| Britain took the guns 15, 16 years ago. | ||
| Tripling of your overall violent crime. | ||
| Hitler took the guns. Stalin took the guns. | ||
| Mao took the guns. That El Castro took the guns. | ||
| Hugo Chavez took the guns. | ||
| And I'm here to tell you, 1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It doesn't matter how many lemmings you get out there on the street begging for them to have their guns taken. | |
| We will not relinquish them. | ||
| Do you understand? That's why you're going to fail, and the establishment knows no matter how much propaganda, the republic will rise again when you attempt to take our guns. | ||
| My family in the Texas Revolution against Santa Ana, my family was at the core on both sides starting that. | ||
| Because Santa Ana came to take the guns at Gonzales, Texas. | ||
| Pierce, don't try what your ancestors did before. | ||
| Why don't you come to America? | ||
| I'll take you out shooting. | ||
| You can become an American and join the Republic. | ||
| You've got hordes of people burning down cities and beating old women's brains out every day. | ||
| What a ridiculous thing. They arrest people in England if they defend themselves. | ||
| That's on record. My God, you've got a total police state. | ||
| Everybody's fleeing that country because you've had to flee here, bud. | ||
| England wants to ban knives now because tens of thousands are getting stabbed. | ||
| But do you understand the difference? | ||
| The knife doesn't kill people. | ||
| The gun doesn't kill people. | ||
| Knives, bats, rocks kill many, many times more. | ||
| Alex, let's talk about the guns. | ||
| It's not the rock. It's not the knife. | ||
| Look at Mexico. Total gun ban for the citizens. | ||
| Highest crime rate in the world. | ||
| 57,000 people dead the last five years. | ||
| Total gun ban for the citizens. | ||
| Switzerland has the lowest crime rate in Europe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Your country has the highest. | |
| Alex Jones, this is the man who wants to deport me from the country before wanting to get rid of assault rifles. | ||
| It's to point out you're a foreigner, a red coat, here telling us what to do. | ||
| Whatever. Go back to where they took the guns if you don't like it. | ||
| The communists... Yeah, that's going Alex Jones, and that's why they don't invite him on CNN anymore. | ||
| He makes a fool out of him. | ||
| But yes, people are starting to connect the dots, folks. | ||
| People are starting to see that all of these various insanities are actually a part of one global scheme to deprive us of our ability to defend ourselves against their depopulation plan. | ||
| It's actually broken its way all the way to Fox News. | ||
| They just have to couch it in a joke, right? | ||
| Because they're mimicking or mocking Alex Jones while they do it. | ||
| Because it's actually kind of frightening and they're afraid of the truth. | ||
| We're not. We'll tell it to you on the other side. | ||

Stay with us. It's Tuesdays, September 12th, the year of our law in 2023. | |
| And... You're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
| Watch it live right now at band.video. | ||
| Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and what a morning it is. | ||
| You're watching American Journal on Infowars.com and band.video. | ||
| A very special Tuesday broadcast. | ||
| Lots going on today. | ||
| Let me give you the rundown. | ||
| Owen Troyer is awaiting sentencing as we speak. | ||
| We think it should be around 11 o'clock that he is actually sentenced. | ||
| Of course, he's facing a potential year in prison. | ||
| The prosecutors have asked for four months, despite agreeing not to request prison time under the plea agreement, completely screwing him over in a way that only the American government can. | ||
| So, we will bring you the news of the sentencing. | ||
| Before anyone else, we will... | ||
| Talk to Owen and the Infowars crew on the ground there at the courthouse as soon as we get that in. | ||
| Alex is going to be tied up for the first hour of his show, so I'm going to go host the Alex Jones show for the first hour as we await the outcome of the sentencing. | ||
| For the last hour of our show, Chase Geyser is going to come sit in. | ||
| I think maybe he'll take calls or report on his own research. | ||
| So we'll be doing a little game of musical chairs here with the host seats this morning. | ||
| But we have a lot to talk about in the first two hours of this show. | ||
| We'll take your calls in the second hour before I hop over to the Jones studio to get ready for hosting the big show. | ||
| Lots of videos to show you lots to talk about. | ||
| Your phone calls in the second hour. | ||
| Chase Geyser taking over in the third. | ||
| But for now, let's begin as we always do with our daily dispatch. | ||
| All right, here it is, folks, your daily dispatch for Tuesday, the 12th of September 2023. | ||
| According to CNN.com, Americans have never been wealthier. | ||
| Fueled by a resurgent stock market and rising home values, U.S. household wealth hit a record $154.3 trillion during the second quarter of this year. | ||
| According to federal data, consumer wealth is now completely recovered from the recent inflation-driven drop in stock prices and real estate holdings. | ||
| And I know... I know what you're thinking. | ||
| You're thinking my dollar doesn't go nearly as far as it used to. | ||
| You're thinking about all of the prices that you've seen on grocery store shelves raise over and over again. | ||
| You're thinking about how, while the gas prices have fallen since their historic highs a year or so ago, they're still significantly higher than they were before. | ||
| At the end of 2019 into 2020, you're thinking about all of the headlines about how houses are basically completely unaffordable now for almost all Americans that are below the wealthiest 1% of 1%. | ||
| You're probably thinking about how everything from cars to computers to appliances has skyrocketed in price. | ||
| You should listen to CNN. Stop believing the lies of your eyes and your real-world experience. | ||
| Stop having a memory longer than six months. | ||
| Trust CNN when they tell you you're super rich and wealthy and doing better than ever before. | ||
| It's just absurd, but it's the mainstream media. | ||
| So what do you expect? Meanwhile, from TheFederalist.com, CA Assembly, California Assembly wants to strip parents from trans-identified kids. | ||
| The California legislature passed a bill on Friday requiring parents to affirm a child's newfound gender or risk loss of custody. | ||
| Assembly Bill 957 was initially proposed to require courts to consider whether parents were affirming a child's identification as transgender in custody cases. | ||
| The legislation was amended in June to declare non-affirming parents liable for child abuse. | ||
| Republican State Senator Scott Wilk bluntly recommended parents flee the state over the amendment. | ||
| You remember this? | ||
| Well, now that bill has passed and is headed towards Gavin Newsom's desk. | ||
| So, you know, this is an extension of what you might call the ban on conversion therapy, because after all, conversion therapy is the act of suggesting to a child they might not be born in the wrong body. | ||
| Their physical body. Characteristics might not be some sort of manufacturer mistake that has to be corrected under the surgeon's knife to suggest to a kid that actually you're just going through a phase right now, you're just uncomfortable with your body because it's going through changes, and it's up to you as a human to come to terms with that and to be respectful of your own body and the gift of life that God gave you. | ||
| That's conversion therapy and will be made illegal. | ||
| Strangely, that's illegal, right? | ||
| Telling a kid that they're not trans is illegal, and you'll actually have your kid taken away for that, while on the other side, they are indoctrinating your kid into transgenderism in the schools, pressuring them through social media and through popular media, as everything from children's cartoons to popular sitcoms delve into this topic, encouraging and supporting the transgender movement. | ||
| And then you might actually have your body permanently altered by chemical intervention or surgical manipulation. | ||
| None of that is considered conversion therapy, even though they are literally converting them into, you know, a eunuch, a castrati. | ||
| So this is the way it's going from now on. | ||
| You have to allow them to indoctrinate your kid, allow them to propagandize your kid, allow them to transition your kid socially and medically, and if you resist them, then they will take your kid away and send them to a foster care home or just let them go live with some, you know, perverts who will affirm their gender. | ||
| Because they're probably pedophiles. | ||
| So there's that. | ||
| That's happening in California and around America. | ||
| And it's horrific and disgusting. | ||
| Meanwhile, military recruiting crisis. | ||
| Even veterans don't want their families to join. | ||
| This from the Wall Street Journal. | ||
| And it's basically an absolute crisis at this point in the Army where even their most reliable recruitment pool, that is the friends and family of veterans, is being told not to do it. | ||
| And why would you? I mean, it really is a tragic thing. | ||
| And I know personally... | ||
| Families who literally have a military tradition in America that dates back to George Washington's army. | ||
| There's this club called the Order of Cincinnati or Cincinnatus. | ||
| Basically, they call Washington the American Cincinnatus, who was a Roman dictator who was asked to come in and straighten things up for a little while. | ||
| And when his job was done, he simply returned to his cabbage fields. | ||
| And that was seen as a model for American military and American politicians. | ||
| So they're members of this. | ||
| And so the club of the Cincinnati are direct descendants of Washington's officers. | ||
| And these families, despite having generation upon generation, like an unbroken chain of activity in the U.S. military, is looking around at what the U.S. military is doing now, how they treat both their own soldiers and the American people, and what they're willing to spend American lives on overseas. and what they're willing to spend American lives on overseas. | ||
| And they're saying, yeah, it's not just don't do it. | ||
| It's not worth it. | ||
| Breaking chains of tradition that stretch back beyond even the foundation of this country. | ||
| Those are being severed by the actions of the globalists as they... | ||
| Abuse the American people and use American soldiers to achieve their own ends. | ||
| We'll get more into that a little bit later. | ||
| Meanwhile, Virginia Democrat candidate streamed sex acts with husband online while soliciting money. | ||
| A Democrat candidate running for Virginia's House of Delegates was accused of posting sex acts with her husband online while soliciting tips from their online audience. | ||
| Susanna Gibson, a 40-year-old mother of two, running for a seat in the 57th District of suburban Richmond, reportedly used a Platform called Chatterbait to stream sex acts with her husband in exchange for tokens. | ||
| Good lord. According to Washington Post, archived videos of Gibson's pornographic content were then posted to a platform called Recur... | ||
| Recurbate... It's just, it's all gross. | ||
| And the funniest thing is her response is she's just like, this is an invasion of privacy for me and my family, and it won't intimidate or silence us, as if she's some sort of freedom fighter, as if she's like marching with Martin Luther King. | ||
| She's like, I will not be stopped by the revelation that I'm a whore. | ||
| I am a whore and I will continue to be a whore. | ||
| Vote for the whore. Incredible. | ||
| Finally, world's biggest lithium reservoir found in Nevada. | ||
| $1.5 trillion worth of lithium. | ||
| This could be a game changer, folks. | ||
| Welcome back, folks. Welcome to the bunker, as it were. | ||
| Welcome to the command center. | ||
| We're broadcasting live from the Infowars headquarters here in Austin, Texas, where we've got Alex Jones being deposed. | ||
| So I'll have to take over the first hour of the Alex Jones Show. | ||
| Meanwhile, our star reporter Owen Schroer is being sentenced to a potential four months in federal prison for the crime of being near January 6th, of being in the general vicinity of the Capitol when other people were doing things. | ||
| And of course, yeah, you can go to defendowen.com. | ||
| DefendOwen.com. I think maybe I said DefendOwen.org yesterday. | ||
| It is.com to donate to him. | ||
| And of course, you can support us by going to InfoWarsStore.com, buying one of the incredible products like DNA Force Plus. | ||
| It's now 25% off. | ||
| And knowing that you're contributing to the number one threat to the New World Order that has ever arisen. | ||
| We have a lot to talk about today. | ||
| We'll be taking your calls in the second hour. | ||
| Chase Geiger will be taking over for me in the third hour. | ||
| Man, we have a lot to talk about. | ||
| In the meantime, I think maybe we'll start with a video that gives a little bit of a zoomed out bird's eye view image of what is coming. | ||
| And it's really not that difficult to To see all this stuff coming. | ||
| We actually started out the show today with a clip of Greg Gutfeld, the stories at Infowars. | ||
| Permission to go, Alex Jones, Fox News host, slams New Mexico governor's gun ban. | ||
| It raises alarm on abuse of power across America. | ||
| Greg Gutfeld... | ||
| Sort of sarcastically asked for permission to go Alex Jones when slamming New Mexico Governor Michelle Grisham's recent gun ban. | ||
| He invoked Jones to raise alarm on the growing trend of officials using emergencies to take rights away from Americans. | ||
| And he's talking about, you know, the fact that they can use emergencies to take away rights and that that's what they're doing, going after your guns, taking our guns. | ||
| But in that, he also... | ||
| Just starts mentioning other studies like they're going after the First Amendment. | ||
| They're going after just law and order in general. | ||
| With the retail theft, $900 minimum to actually charge that. | ||
| Stopping people from protecting themselves by charging people who do defend themselves with murder. | ||
| If the person that they defend themselves against dies. | ||
| And it's like for the first time, they're starting to see that these things are not separate at all. | ||
| They're not just individual occurrences that are all just totally different and totally unrelated. | ||
| They're in fact all necessary chess moves to get to checkmate for the American people. | ||
| These are all separate instances of policies and positions and ideas being put into place All building up, all culminating, all applying to one another to the ultimate goal of total global enslavement. | ||
| And it's like such a terrifying reality once you awaken to this. | ||
| It's like when Fox News just wants to dip their toe in this concept because it's easier for them and it's easier for the way the New World Order wants us to treat this as if these are all totally separate and you can't act like they're all the same because they're different. | ||
| It's the same way that globalists and globalism work overall, right? | ||
| They issue orders from supranational combines like the World Economic Forum but they get implemented on the national level. | ||
| And so... When things happen on a global level, they can say, well, you know, this isn't... | ||
| They have their cake, you need it too, basically is what I'm trying to say. | ||
| So they... When they cause a global recession, then they do it through the national governments. | ||
| Then you point out, hey, look, this national government is failing. | ||
| The economy is terrible. They can say, well, it's not our national government. | ||
| It's a global thing. | ||
| So you can't blame the national government because it's happening globally. | ||
| And then when they institute things through the national government, like in the Netherlands, destroying all the farms, and you point to this being in... | ||
| Something that you want to stop on a national level, they say, well, this is really an international thing that we're doing here. | ||
| They have their cake and eat it, too. | ||
| They impose things on a global level, but they do it through the national power structure. | ||
| And in that way, they can pretend it's not their fault, pretend they're not responsible for this because it's happening everywhere. | ||
| But also, it's clearly all part of a singular plan. | ||
| And they're starting to sort of wake up to that. | ||
| They're starting to connect the dots. | ||
| They're starting to see the constellation instead of just the stars. | ||
| And that's an important move forward. | ||
| And of course, it means that InfoWars was right the entire time. | ||
| So I want to go to a video here. | ||
| This is Katie Hopkins, clip number seven, talking about what the ultimate goal of the restricted emissions zones, the ULEZ, The 15-minute cities are really all about and how this is all part of simply a plan to deprive you of ownership of private vehicles, | ||
| private homes, anything really as we are forcibly transitioned into a neo-feudal communistic world order. | ||
| Here's Katie Hopkins breaking it down. | ||
| You may have heard that in Wales there is a new law going to be enforced that says where there was formerly 30 miles an hour, the default speed setting in those 30 mile an hour zones will be 20 miles an hour. | ||
| I don't know if you've ever driven your car at 20 miles an hour, but it literally feels as if you're going backwards. | ||
| They say the idea is to lower noise emissions and to encourage people to cycle or to take public transport, to recognise that a car isn't the fastest option. | ||
| I mean, the absurdity of all of that rationale is obvious, but what are people going to do? | ||
| to drive up to the 20 miles an hour zone, park their car, get out, walk that bit and then what? | ||
| Realise that they've left their car the other side of it. | ||
| How does this work for the elderly who can't walk or bicycle wherever they feel like it? | ||
| And what about mums with small kids in strollers? | ||
| Are they supposed to just throw them on their shoulder and get on the bike? | ||
| I also think it's really disingenuous to keep kind of explaining this stuff away with false rationale that has nothing to do with the real reason behind it. | ||
| I heard a lady on the radio say, well, if fuel prices can continue to go up, people will be put off from using their cars. | ||
| And that's exactly the point. | ||
| That's the real strategy behind all of this, to make it as inconvenient as possible to use your car in order that you change your behaviour. | ||
| And we begin the process of taking away the right to own a private vehicle here in the UK. | ||
| I believe, and I believe it's absolutely the strategic plan, that nobody in the UK will own a private car within five years. | ||
| I don't believe you will have the right to do that. | ||
| It also helps explain things like 20, 30 miles of restricted speeds on motorways. | ||
| People asking, why is it 60 miles an hour? | ||
| Why is it 50 miles an hour? | ||
| And you'll be told, oh, emissions or greener targets. | ||
| But in fact, it's It's all about dissuading you from using the private vehicle. | ||
| And for people who say, oh, yes, but electric's the answer, not one day it won't be, because there will be a countrywide electric fleet. | ||
| You will have to summon it using an app, and eventually that will be restricted as well. | ||
| Going back to COVID and that whole restricted radius that you were allowed to live in five kilometres from your home address is not too hard to see. | ||
| Now that was some early conditioning for a time when not only do you not have the freedom to own a vehicle, not only do you not have the freedom to drive, but you no longer have the freedom to go more. | ||
| All right, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| The most censored, attacked, limited, demonized, And yet correct media establishment America has perhaps ever seen. | ||
| Infowars.com banned.video. | ||
| Just compiling some breaking video here as Russian President Vladimir Putin is addressing his delegates at the Eastern Economic Forum and making his pretty bombshell statements. | ||
| And of course we continue to drive headlong towards World War And potential nuclear exchange with Russia over Ukraine. | ||
| Infowars has the story. | ||
| NATO prepares for biggest military exercise since Cold War and close to Russia. | ||
| The upcoming steadfast defender NATO war drills set for early 2024 are expected to be the biggest military exercises in Europe since the end of the Cold War. | ||
| The Financial Times is reporting Monday. | ||
| At a moment when the war in Ukraine grows more and more unpredictable, given neither Russia nor the West have shown any signs of backing down, the Financial Times writes that NATO is preparing its biggest live joint command exercise since the Cold War next year, assembling more than 40,000 troops to practice how the alliance would attempt to repel Russian aggression against one of its members. | ||
| Like the ongoing smaller Northern Coast War games currently being executed by NATO and Baltic waters, the Steadfast Defender 24 drills will simulate how the military alliance would respond in the face of hypothetical Russian invasion. | ||
| NATO officials were quoted in Financial Times as saying the planned exercises are seen as a key part of demonstrating to Moscow that the alliance is prepared to fight. | ||
| They're so prepared to fight, they're starting the fight. | ||
| They're so prepared to fight that they have aggressively encroached on Russia's territory through NATO expansion for the last several decades. | ||
| That's how ready to fight they are. | ||
| The problem is Russia also seems ready to fight and also is not buying into and is, in fact, very Appropriately and effectively countering NATO propaganda by pointing out the utter hypocrisy of the West in complaining about any so-called authoritarianism in Russia or aggression in Russia or coming from Russia. | ||
| As in America, they're imprisoning or trying to throw into jail the ex-president and primary political rival of the current regime. | ||
| Donald Trump, they're imprisoning peaceful protesters in jail for 20 plus years. | ||
| Which, let's remember, is more insane than the gulags. | ||
| The gulags in communist Russia had like maybe 10 year sentences. | ||
| You'd maybe go to the gulag to be in slave labor for... | ||
| Maybe 10 years. | ||
| Maybe. Usually it was more like 4 or 5 years. | ||
| Then you'd be back on the street. | ||
| In America, they're sentencing young men to 20 plus years for crimes that they didn't even participate in on the basis that they shared some sort of intangible, unprovable mental connection with the people who did commit the crime. | ||
| It's insane, but that's actually what's happening. | ||
| At the same time, They're imposing on the people of the West massive, massively unpopular restrictions like the ULES zones, like the destruction of the Dutch farms, like the importation of millions upon millions of Africans to Ireland, things that are all opposed in overwhelming numbers by the population that's being inflicted upon. | ||
| And yet, for some reason, democracy doesn't come into play there. | ||
| See, democracy works like this. | ||
| Modern democracy, the modern globalist vision of democracy. | ||
| If the people vote for it, then it's a democratic imperative. | ||
| It has to be implemented because the people demand it, and we're a democracy after all. | ||
| Yes, sir, we'll do it. But if the people are against what the elites want to do, then it's for their own good. | ||
| They have to be subjected to it. | ||
| They have to be propagandized and indoctrinated until they're okay with what's being done to them. | ||
| That's quite literally what's happening, and it's basically across the board. | ||
| There's a story today. Pretty big one from NBC, of all things. | ||
| Most Americans oppose including trans athletes in sports. | ||
| Not just most, but 70%, 69 to be exact, 69% of people say that transgender athletes should only be allowed to compete on sports teams that correspond with the sex they were assigned at birth. | ||
| So obviously, that means that... | ||
| Our democracy is going to outlaw trans participation in sports, right? | ||
| Of course not. No, they're going to push ahead on that, despite it being hugely unpopular. | ||
| And while, you know, we might sit here and say, oh, see, 70% of people don't like this. | ||
| It's sort of terrifying that a good 30% of Americans, apparently, according to these polls... | ||
| I think it's totally fine for a man to compete against a woman in a sport as long as the man uses the magic word, the magic incantation by saying, I believe I am a woman. | ||
| That somehow gives them the magical right to participate in sports. | ||
| So it's not about democracy. | ||
| It's not about... What's popular or what the people demand. | ||
| It's about what the elites want. | ||
| And if the people go along with what the elites want, all the better. | ||
| Then it's democracy in action. | ||
| If they go against it, then it gets imposed on them anyway, and they call it democracy in action regardless. | ||
| Let's go now to this video of Putin just laying out the absolute lack of base or foundation that the West has to call out anything that Russia is doing. | ||
| Let's watch. So he says, as for the prosecution of Trump, for us, what is happening in today's conditions, in my opinion, is good. | ||
| Why? Because it shows the rottenness of the American political system, which we cannot pretend to teach others, which cannot pretend to teach others about democracy. | ||
| Everything that is happening with Trump is the persecution of a political rival for political reasons. | ||
| That's what it is. | ||
| And this is being done in front of the U.S. public and the whole world. | ||
| They simply exposed their internal problems. | ||
| So again, he's like, this is great, because it really shows that America doesn't have a leg to stand on. | ||
| They have nothing to teach anybody about freedom and freedom. | ||
| We're a well-functioning government. | ||
| Our government is rotten to its core. | ||
| It is being weaponized to go after political rivals. | ||
| Who's the good guy in this situation? | ||
| Seems increasingly like it's Russia, honestly. | ||
| And this goes hand-in-hand with stats we've covered elsewhere where it's like, Per 100,000, Britain arrests like 10 times more people than Russia does for their speech. | ||
| So we're constantly fed this image of Russia as some sort of brutal authoritarian regime. | ||
| It's unquestionable when in reality, thousands of people in the UK have been arrested for insulting lesbians or whatever. | ||
| So I have nothing to teach anybody, and democracy has absolutely no effect on what the elites have planned for us. | ||
| We'll talk a little bit more about Ukraine a little bit later. | ||
| We also have a lot of LGBTQP plus news that I guess we'll get to if we have to. | ||
| We'll take your calls in the second hour here. | ||
| I mean, there's... There's so much news. | ||
| We have the full-on invasion as well with absolutely shocking videos from the Darien Gap. | ||
| Ben Berkwam is down there and filming just thousands upon thousands of military-aged men with brand-new camping gear making their way through the Darien Gap. | ||
| And we'll play those videos in just a little bit. | ||
| But again, it's not something that the American people actually want. | ||
| They actually want to be replaced in our own country. | ||
| Because the Democrats think that the Mexicans will vote for them over us. | ||
| We'll get to that in just a little bit. | ||
| Still so much more to cover. | ||
| I'm going to save some of the New Mexico... | ||
| Gun-grabbing coverage for the Alex Jones Show. | ||
| We'll be hosting that in the first hour, but stay with us and we'll pick up with the invasion on the other side as the Democrats are getting exactly what they voted for and are finding that it sucks and all of their ideas suck and they suck and nothing they do ever works, even in the slightest. It makes everything worse and everyone hates it and then they double down and do it even harder and say that you're hateful if you oppose it. | ||
| It's The most infuriating cycle that we can't break out of for some reason. | ||
| Help us, fellow Americans, stop being dumb. | ||
| Welcome back, folks. | ||
| It really is mind-blowing all the things we're having to deal with today. | ||
| And I was going to get into some of the invasion stuff here, but I think I want to stick for a moment with Russia and the meeting that they're having right now, the Eastern Economic Forum. | ||
| This is from Sputnik. | ||
| They have a list of the key statements from Vladimir Putin in his address to the delegates at the Eastern Economic Forum. | ||
| He says... | ||
| Putin says... | ||
| Again, as a direct response to the sanctions that America put on Russia over Ukraine. | ||
| The percentage of subsoil exploration in the Far East has averaged only 35%. | ||
| There's opportunity for the extractive industries to vastly grow. | ||
| Putin instructed the government to include a study of subsoil in the Far East and Siberia in the geological exploration program. | ||
| Production of liquefied natural gas in the Arctic zone should have tripled by 2030 thanks to a decision that was made to create new lines and strengthen technological sovereignty, Putin says. | ||
| So again, as we are forcibly downgraded here in the West and forced off of so-called fossil fuels... | ||
| Russia and China continue to exploit and grow through those. | ||
| U.S. jumped into the last car when agreed on economic corridor from India, but project itself is beneficial to Russia, says Vladimir Putin. | ||
| He says on Elon Musk that he's an outstanding person, an active and talented businessman. | ||
| Wouldn't that be something? | ||
| Wouldn't that be... Elon has to end up fleeing America and going to Russia because they won't stop persecuting him. | ||
| And they are. And Elizabeth Warren is now calling for investigations into Elon Musk. | ||
| Maybe they'll send him to prison for treason for not allowing his technology to be used to start World War III. He says the West is trying to stifle China's growth, but it's too late. | ||
| The time has run out. New centers of power will emerge, Putin says. | ||
| Russia and China have achieved unprecedented cooperation in recent years, Vladimir Putin added. | ||
| So again, direct response to America's actions, as it seems like everything that America does goes directly towards strengthening China and weakening America. | ||
| Pretty much across the board. | ||
| So there really is a great realignment happening. | ||
| Of course, it's not happening in opposition to the desires of the people that run the Western world. | ||
| It's happening as a direct consequence of their explicitly designed actions. | ||
| I mean, they won't shut up about how much they love China and how much they think China is doing a great thing, despite the fact that China is building hundreds upon hundreds of new coal power plants in direct direction. | ||
| Opposition or contravention of the demands of the people that are, in effect, paying for it. | ||
| I mean, it's just completely insane. | ||
| It's all, everything is just completely insane today. | ||
| And we're, I'm saving some of this to cover during the Alex Jones Show. | ||
| I do want to remind you, we are awaiting the sentencing of Owen Schroer. | ||
| We'll find out. Whether he'll be spending time behind bars for his free speech. | ||
| Make no mistake, that's exactly what it is. | ||
| In fact, maybe we'll touch on that now for a second. | ||
| And it's moving around. | ||
| It's a fluid situation. | ||
| Regardless, no matter when it happens, as soon as the sentencing occurs, we'll be going live from the courthouse and talking to either Owen himself or whoever's on the ground there. | ||
| The InfoWars crew is there to cover it, so we'll bring you the news just as soon as it breaks. | ||
| You'll hear it here first, and then we'll Skype in with Owen to discuss what's going on. | ||
| We don't know whether it'll be this hour or the next or whether it'll be when we're in the Alex Jones studio, but regardless, stay tuned here to learn exactly what is going down. | ||
| You know, we covered a lot of this indictment or this sentencing memo, as it were, when it first broke. | ||
| But we really only covered a couple of pages. | ||
| And this whole thing is over 20 pages. | ||
| And they really don't bandy words around. | ||
| Like, they pretty much admit exactly what they're doing. | ||
| In fact, they cite A May 17, 2021 broadcast where they say on his InfoWars broadcast, Schroer stated that he realized something about January 6th while downplaying that, yeah, January 6th got a little out of control. | ||
| Yeah, there was some violence against police. | ||
| There was a little bit of violence to the building, too. | ||
| Property damage. Schroer stated that January 6th was like a mouse that roared compared to when Democrats riot. | ||
| Oh, well, send him to jail then. | ||
| So this is May 17th, 2021. | ||
| This is months and months after January 6th. | ||
| And yet they're citing what he said about an event that occurred in public that he was commenting on months before, citing that as if that's a reason to throw him in prison. | ||
| They are criminalizing free speech. | ||
| They are criminalizing the act of being a journalist right in front of our eyes. | ||
| And the psychopaths in the Democratic Party Including our ill-informed neighbors and friends are in favor of this, celebrating this, apparently totally ignorant and blind to the reality that this is setting a precedent that the government is not going to give up willingly. | ||
| They're going to continue this. | ||
| They're going to expedite and accelerate this concept. | ||
| I mean it really is it really is shocking it really is incredible the fact that they are using an Infowars broadcast for months after the event to somehow claim that he deserves to go to prison for months on end in a federal prison and so then they have this under nature and circumstances of the offense Of course, | ||
| they say that January 6th posed a grave danger to our democracy. | ||
| Which is like, okay. | ||
| I don't know. I have a little bit more faith in our democracy. | ||
| I don't think one moderate riot for a couple hours is going to bring down the United States of America. | ||
| But hey, what do I know? While assessing, they say, Schroyer's participation in that attack to fashion a just sentence, this court should consider various aggravating and mitigating factors, notably for a misdemeanor defendant like Schroyer, the absence of violent or destructive acts is not a mitigating factor. | ||
| Sure, he didn't actually participate in the riot, but don't pay attention to that. | ||
| Ignore that. One of the most important factors in Schroer's case is his access and use of the platform that is his internet streaming program. | ||
| One of the most important factors in Schroer's case is the fact that he is a journalist. | ||
| Both before, during, and after January 6th. | ||
| The events of January 6th did not happen in a bubble, they say. | ||
| Individuals like Schroer stoked the fires of discontent with the outcome of the 2020 presidential election online. | ||
| Stoked the fires of discontent. | ||
| They are criminalizing free speech. | ||
| It's really not that complicated. | ||
| They're telling you they're doing it. | ||
| They're writing it in the sentencing memo. | ||
| That a riot occurred on January 6th, and because Owen Schroer expressed a belief that was shared by the rioters, that he has to go to prison. | ||
| He stoked the fires of outrage by pointing out criminal activity in the government. | ||
| You understand that if that's the barrier, if that's the bar that they have to get over, I mean, we should arrest every mainstream media anchor in America. | ||
| Because here's the thing. They don't even say that Schroyer lied. | ||
| They don't even say that Owen was not telling the truth. | ||
| They just say that he was stoking the fire. | ||
| He was telling the truth. | ||
| He actually told nothing but the truth. | ||
| And yet the truth inspired people to get angry. | ||
| So now it's his fault for expressing the truth because people who were angry did something in fulfillment of that anger. | ||
| So what about the people that are on MSNBC and CNN who spread the hands up don't shoot lie? | ||
| What about people who spread the complete totally at this point completely debunked lie about Systemic racism. | ||
| There's a big story this week of the professor that was caught fabricating information, fabricating data in order to perpetuate the concept of systemic racism. | ||
| What about those people that encouraged and lit the fire of Black Lives Matter? | ||
| So, you know, the only ray of sunshine I can see at all this is they set the precedent and then we take power and And that's the end of mainstream media, because they should all be arrested, and the politicians too. | ||
| Welcome back, folks. Second hour has begun here on American Journal. | ||
| We'll go out to some of the other news here in just a moment, but I do want to continue with this sentencing indictment, as yes, Owen Troyer will be sentenced today. | ||
| It'll be within the hour, and I will hear about his fate. | ||
| I just want to stop sending my friends to prison. | ||
|

|
It really is horrific. | |
| It really is insane where we've gotten to. | ||
| So again, in this document, let me explain one of the ridiculous stretches that they make. | ||
| By the way, this is also just the most amateur sort of Document you can imagine. | ||
| The first word in the introduction is misspelled. | ||
| One. Introduction. | ||
| John Thone Owen Schroer. | ||
| They spell his name wrong. The first word of the introduction. | ||
| Okay. Alright. So just to let you know the caliber of this document. | ||
| They can't even spell the name of the defendant right the first time that they say it. | ||
| Fine. But on top of that, they say things that are just absolutely blatantly false. | ||
| And we've covered this document before, but I didn't even know some of this stuff was false at the time since talking to Owen about this. | ||
| You know, they talk about the fact that he was arrested on December 19th, 2019, after disrupting a House Judiciary Committee. | ||
| And they say that on February 25th, 2020, he entered a community service deferred prosecution agreement with the government. | ||
| So in other words, a plea agreement. | ||
| In other words, he pled guilty with the understanding that in doing so, he would be spared jail time. | ||
| He cooperated with them. | ||
| I'm sorry, I'm getting mixed up here because there's two different plea agreements. | ||
| Sorry, this deferred prosecution agreement was that he would not violate any laws and perform 32 hours of verified community service. | ||
| They say that he did not... | ||
| Do any community service. | ||
| The reality is he completed all of it. | ||
| He showed me the paper. | ||
| He certified official community service hours. | ||
| He did them. He fulfilled them. | ||
| So they just ignore that completely. | ||
| They totally lie about it. | ||
| They say as of January 5th and 6th, 2021, Schroer had not completed any hours of community service and the DPA and Schroer's stay-away order from the U.S. Capitol was still active. | ||
| That's entirely untrue. | ||
| He had completed his Community service. | ||
| So they misspell things. | ||
| They blatantly lie. | ||
| And then, of course, they admit under the section nature and circumstances of the offense. | ||
| You can go read this yourself. You can go download this yourself. | ||
| It's not hard to find. | ||
| They say that literally by basically being mad at the government, he is therefore responsible for other people who are mad at the government and rioted. | ||
| That's literally what they're saying. | ||
| The way they phrase it is, Schroer cannot light a fire near a can of gasoline and then express concern or disbelief when it explodes. | ||
| So in other words, if you have found out something or you've discovered something or you believe something that would make people angry, it's your fault if you say it and then people get angry. | ||
| So if you say the government is going to try to take your guns and then people... | ||
| Realize that you're right about the government trying to take your guns and then do something in response to that. | ||
| It's your fault for talking about it. | ||
| It's not the government's fault for doing the bad thing. | ||
| It's not the person's fault for acting on the information. | ||
| It's your fault for sharing the information. | ||
| That's literally what they're saying here. | ||
| I'm not kidding. And the way that they justify this is beyond the law. | ||
| Let's just say that. I don't know if I have time to explain it here, but I'll explain it on the other side. | ||
| Essentially, they reference Supreme Court decisions saying that you can take a person's past actions into consideration when sentencing. | ||
| I'll have to explain it all the other time. | ||
| There's no easy way to sum this up. | ||
| So I'll explain it on the other side. | ||
| Stay with us. We'll talk a little bit more about what's happening with Owen. | ||
| We have a lot of other news to cover. | ||
| It's a big day for news, and it's a big day for Infowars. | ||
| Stay tuned here to American Journal. | ||
| We'll be right back. All right, welcome back. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, second hour of American Journal is on. | ||
| I'm your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
| We're going to open up the phone lines for your calls this hour. | ||
| So a lot to talk about. | ||
| News from around the world. Lots of videos to get to. | ||
| I do want to take your calls. | ||
| The number to dial is 1-877-789-2539. | ||
| That's 1-877-789-2539. | ||
| Again, we'll be taking your calls this hour. | ||
| Chase Geyser will be swapping with me. | ||
| He'll be hosting the last hour of American Journal. | ||
| I'll be hosting the first hour of the Alex Jones Show until Alex is free to take over. | ||
| And we are awaiting updates from the courthouse where Owen Troyer is currently being sentenced up to a year with the government asking for four months of federal imprisonment for his free speech. | ||
| So let me tell you my layman interpretation of what is being, of how the government is Using Supreme Court rulings and precedent to go after Owen Schroer. | ||
| Now they say the First Amendment is no bar to the court's consideration of Schroer's words and actions at sentencing. | ||
| They're saying, no uncertain terms, that they don't want the First Amendment to be a consideration. | ||
| They're charging him for his speech and they're trying to, I guess, Counter the obvious criticism of this, which is we have the First Amendment. | ||
| He's allowed to be outraged. | ||
| He's allowed to be mad. He's allowed to point out the government doing bad things, even if people act on that information. | ||
| He's not calling for violence. | ||
| He wasn't calling to invade the Capitol. | ||
| He was just expressing the truth about the 2020 election, and that is what they're trying to charge him with, and they're saying the First Amendment should be no bar. | ||
| And the way they justify this is they say no limitation shall be placed on the information concerning the background, character, and conduct of a person convicted of an offense which a court of the United States may receive and consider for the purpose of imposing an appropriate sentence. | ||
| That's 18 U.S.C. 3661. | ||
| The Supreme Court has likewise long recognized that sentencing judges exercise wide discretion in the types of evidence they may consider when imposing sentence and that highly relevant, if not essential, to the selection of an appropriate sentence is the possession of the fullest information possible concerning defendants' life and characteristics. | ||
| Now here's what that's supposed to mean. | ||
| Again, this is my layman interpretation. | ||
| And they list a whole bunch of these Wisconsin vs. | ||
| Mitchell, Dawson vs. | ||
| Delaware. But here's the... | ||
| And so they say, consistent with this principle, the Supreme Court has held that the Constitution does not erect a per se barrier to the admission of evidence concerning one's beliefs and associations at sentencing simply because those beliefs and associations are protected by the First Amendment. | ||
| Indeed, a court may impose a sentence based on a defendant's protected beliefs as long as those beliefs are relevant to the issues involved. | ||
| So as I understand this, as I read this, maybe a caller can correct me if I'm wrong, But the way this is supposed to be utilized is say you have somebody who was convicted of a crime, was convicted of an actual physical crime. | ||
| They did something like they killed a woman, right? | ||
| And then the judge can go back in their history and see that, okay, this person has tweeted or this person has communicated and we have evidence that this person has expressed a belief. | ||
| That women deserve to die. | ||
| And that he'll do it again if he gets out or if he's not convicted of this. | ||
| That he loved killing the woman and that he can't wait to experience that again. | ||
| While it may be your first minute right to say, I hate women. | ||
| women are terrible and don't deserve the rights of a human being you can say that under the First Amendment that's protected speech, might be abominable but that's your right to say but if you're convicted of killing a woman then they can use those statements in the sentencing they can go alright, we gotta put this guy away for a while because clearly this wasn't just a one-off this wasn't an act of passion this is like what this guy believes and he acted on what he believed the problem | ||
| When it comes to Owen, is that what they're charging him with and what they're sentencing him on and what they're essentially punishing him for is the speech itself. | ||
| You see what I mean? It's not that his speech has somehow informed or can tell you about his propensity to commit a crime. | ||
| The speech is the crime. | ||
| So I don't get how any of this applies to it. | ||
| When you're charging him for what he said, then... | ||
| You're not going to find anything in there that says that he's going to commit a crime, that he likes committing crime, that he's doing this because he wants to incite violence and anger and other people to do crime. | ||
| So, again, they lay all this out, and essentially they say the First Amendment is not a factor here, apparently, because in previous cases... | ||
| Judges have been allowed, and there's been a precedent set that you can take into account people's actions and beliefs, or their speech and their beliefs, when sentencing for an actual crime. | ||
| Here they're sentencing for the speech itself, so how this has nothing to do... | ||
| It just doesn't apply. | ||
| It just doesn't apply to this, but this is what they're trying to say. | ||
| It seems just utterly fascistic to me. | ||
| They say Schroer's words and criminal actions, which he didn't commit, so that's interesting. | ||
| They say his words and criminal actions surrounding January 6th are inexorably intertwined. | ||
| Well, the criminal actions are his words, so yeah, I guess that's right. | ||
| Imposing a sentence of incarceration would not punish Schroer for his beliefs or for any associations. | ||
| it would punish him based on appropriate 3553a factors his statements and actions leading up to and on january 6 for example events the the depth of his intent to stop the transfer of presidential power through sheer volume the court must consider that that evidence to determine how best to enforce respect for the law and detroit and deter schroyer specifically again the only thing that schroyer has expressed is the only is the same thing that i have expressed is | ||
| The same thing that millions of people, millions of Americans, tens of millions really in the private sphere have expressed. | ||
| That the election was fraudulent. | ||
| That it was stolen. And that January 6th should have been the opportunity during the certification of the election for the vice president and the president. | ||
| Legislature to demand an investigation to put a 10-day pause on certification to get answers to some of the questions that were being asked. | ||
| That is what he's being punished for. | ||
| He is literally being punished for advocating the constitutional provision that should have been enacted. | ||
| Like, they had an obligation to do it, actually. | ||
| But they didn't. So we'll wait and see. | ||
| We'll wait and see whether Owen Schroer is going to be sent to federal prison for the crime of expressing doubt about the 2020 election and encouraging his fellow Americans to use their First Amendment constitutionally protected right to petition the government, right to demand redress of grievances, the right to gather together and... | ||
| Oppose, through their words, through their actions, through protest, criminal activity that they perceive in their own government. | ||
| That's what they're sentencing him for. | ||
| That's what they've charged him for. | ||
| And despite the fact that he cooperated completely and agreed to a plea agreement that forbade them from asking for prison time, they're doing it anyway. | ||
| And he may be very well going away for a while. | ||

| I hadn't heard this story, Sean. | ||
| The FBI pulling all COVID vaccines. | ||
| What does this mean? Thanks for calling in. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're on the air. Harrison, just want to start off by saying you, Alex, and Owen, I listen to you guys every day. | |
| I love you guys. Well, thank you. | ||
| Good supporter. Every morning I wake up, I use my Alexa Pure water filter. | ||
| I take all my pills, my Nitrate Boost, red pills. | ||
| I take the krill, I use the fish oil, and of course the brain force. | ||
| Fantastic. Thank you so much for your support, Sean. | ||
| We appreciate it. Oh, and next three. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I just started taking that two weeks ago. | |
| Just kicked in. I love that stuff, man. | ||
| You guys are awesome. Fantastic. | ||
| Well, thank you for that. What's your story here? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, my wife, she's higher up in the medical field in the state of Massachusetts, which Massachusetts is right beside Rhode Island, where I live. | |
| And short story is she said that she got an email, Department of Health, saying that the FBI is going to be coming in, removing all COVID jabs from the shelves. | ||
| What? I don't know, man. | ||
| Sounds weird, right? The FBI is going to get you? | ||
| So like the old one, the ones that they've had from the first round, I guess? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I asked her. I said, is it the new one that's supposed to be coming out today? | |
| And she said she's not 100% sure. | ||
| She just got a quick email saying she has a phone conference at 2 o'clock. | ||
| So, who knows? | ||
| Interesting. Who knows what's happening? | ||
| But last thing she came out with was the protocols that Alex was talking about. | ||
| She's got wind of that as well. | ||
| Another funny story is the rapid response teams that usually come in the hospitals, nursing homes, A lot of those have been pulled from those buildings and sent to take care of immigrants. | ||
| Absolutely crazy. | ||
| Well, that I'm not exactly surprised about. | ||
| In fact, literally right before we went live, I found this story from News Nation. | ||
| NYC migrant crisis forces Adams to cut funding to city agencies. | ||
| So he's cutting 5% spending for all city agencies. | ||
| So he's cutting pay to firefighters, sanitation workers, and police to deal with the migrant crisis. | ||
| So that's not surprising to me that much. | ||
| Tell you what, stay on the line, Sean. | ||
| I'd like our producers to get your information and maybe you can call back in or we can call you at 2 once your wife gets that email to figure out exactly what is going on because that is very weird. | ||
| If she literally learned that the FBI is coming in to confiscate COVID vaccines, that is a story we are interested in. | ||
| So stay on the line there, Sean, and we'll get your information so we can check back on you this afternoon when you have more info about what's going on because I want to... | ||
| I'm going to stay on top of that. That sounds very interesting. | ||
| Thanks for the call, Sean. Stay on the line. | ||
| Let's go to Jordan in New Jersey. | ||
| You have some info about the sentencing of Owen. | ||
| Thanks for calling in. Jordan, you're on the air. | ||
| Hi, Harrison. Thank you. | ||
| Can you hear me okay? Yes, sir. | ||
| Okay, good. So I studied a white collar crime in law school. | ||
| I'm a practicing attorney now. | ||
| And the sentencing guidelines have just been basically totally abused here. | ||
| It's supposed to be an administrative, discretionary type of thing for people in totally different situations than Owen. | ||
| The underlying, there is no underlying crime here. | ||
| There's no mens rea. There's no crime. | ||
| So what they did in order to put pressure on Owen and the organization, in my opinion, is basically totally manipulate and distort the sentencing guidelines, which is a gray area, and they knew that, ambiguous, and something that they can do in order to see – just throw him in jail probably. | ||
| I hope that doesn't happen. I'm wrong, but to put pressure on the organization as they try to put pressure on people like Terrio and all these people to say whatever they want them to say or to destroy information, you know, infrastructure for the independent media movement and so forth. | ||
| So that's my take on it. | ||
| It's a total distortion. | ||
| A lot of your analysis is spot on, but, you know, there is no underlying crime here. | ||
| So this is all tucked in there so that they can put pressure on Owen and you guys. | ||
| Right. And so was I more or less correct? | ||
| Because again, I'm just a layman. | ||
| I'm not a lawyer. But when I read that they're referencing these Supreme Court cases where they say, well, they can use even First Amendment protected beliefs to inform their... | ||
| That's about, like, actual crimes that take place, not... | ||
| Correct. Okay. And any talk about an actual crime is not First Amendment protected speech. | ||
| That's the thing. So, you know, that's what they're doing. | ||
| They're totally misapplying the law here or not dealing with it at all and saying, oh, we can do things in the sentencing guideline world, which is great, for things that are totally different and inappropriate here and not applicable. | ||
| And that's the God-honest truth. | ||
| And I like to use the word God as much as I can these days. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, as long as you're not using it in vain. | ||
| Man, well, thank you for that call, and I think you're exactly right. | ||
| I mean, there's a reason that they're going after the leadership, the Proud Boys, the leadership of the Oath Keepers, the leadership of InfoWars. | ||
| I mean, they want the destruction of these organizations that pose a threat to them, not that we're violent or actual domestic terrorists, but that we literally just tell the truth about what they're doing, and that in and of itself is a threat to a criminal organization. | ||
| Obviously, in the same way a mafia would want to get rid of stool pigeons. | ||
| The government wants to get rid of us who tell the truth about the criminal activities that they're up to. | ||
| Thank you so much for the call, Jordan. | ||
| That was excellent. And of course, that is exactly what they're doing. | ||
| And it's not like Owen can go back, right? | ||
| Once you plead guilty as part of a plea deal... | ||
| You can't exactly go, oh, actually, now that—because they changed the plea deal. | ||
| They say, all right, if you plead guilty, then we promise we will not send you to prison. | ||
| He says, okay, deal. | ||
| I plead guilty. Then they go, okay, well, actually, we are going to try to send you to prison. | ||
| He can't exactly go, oh, wait, I'm not guilty. | ||
| Actually, I want to plead not guilty now. | ||
| It's like, well, you already pled guilty. | ||
| You already admitted to doing the thing. | ||
| So there's no going back once you make that plea agreement, but they get to change their side of the agreement. | ||
| And as Jordan from New Jersey points out, it's because there's leniency, there's gray area in the sentencing guidelines that they can take advantage of. | ||
| Thank you for that call, Jordan. | ||
| Let's get to some more here. | ||
| William in Arkansas is also commenting on Owen's potential detention. | ||
| Go ahead, William. | ||
| You're on the air. | ||
| Morning, everybody. | ||
| I hope you're tolerating what is happening to our nation well. | ||
| I support incarcerating him not out of animosity, But because it's going to do the same thing that they have done to Trump, people that have never heard his name before are going to know who he is, and they're not going to like the injustice if they got any kind of morality about it. | ||
| I think you should go ahead and do the time, get out, run for office, run as a senator, run as a House member, run as a local physician within Austin. | ||
| If you can't do it in Austin, move out. | ||
| Go to Bastrop or somewhere. | ||
| Go around Camp Swift. | ||
| I'll bet you you'll get support there. | ||
| You know, it's ridiculous. | ||
| I earned my free speech right in American military uniform, Fort Benning, Omni Church. | ||
| It's the old World War I barracks. | ||
| It's a museum now. | ||
| I'm becoming one myself as the years go by. | ||
| It's ridiculous that we have to tolerate this. | ||
| I'm being nice. | ||
| I'm trying to be calm because Literally, you know, I'm an infantry soldier. | ||
| I was able to acquire a little bit of education and training because of the greatness of this nation and the freedoms that we are abandoning. | ||
| But I don't have a problem stating things in a hardcore way. | ||
| And the day that somebody comes up to my door with a badge or an arrest warrant for my free speech, I'm going to put a hole. | ||
| I'll tell you, I mean, and that's why I like your calls, William, because you don't mince words, but be careful what you wish for. | ||
| In fact, I got a stack of news here titled, uh, FBI Kill Squads. | ||
| Do you have any idea how many people the FBI has straight up murdered in the last month? | ||
| More than one, I'll tell you that. | ||
| We're covered on the other side. We still have no update. | ||
| As to the sentencing of Owen Schroer, but it will be occurring in the next few hours, the latest. | ||
| Whenever it does occur, you can stay here to know that we'll be the first to break it. | ||
| And we'll bring you a live report from the courthouse itself just as soon as the sentence comes down. | ||
| If you're a praying person, now would be the time to pray that the judge in this case have some sympathy and empathy and understanding of what's going down around him. | ||
| Praying, of course, for Owen as well. | ||
| Hopefully the judge in this case can have some modicum of the Holy Spirit Bring him the understanding of what he would be participating in if he were to actually give the government what they want. | ||
| Of course, you can support Owen, defendowen.com, support us at Infowarsstore.com. | ||
| Let's talk about what's happening with the so-called domestic terror program in a way that was easily... | ||
| Easily predictable to anybody that was paying attention. | ||
| This was the ultimate desire, the ultimate purpose, the ultimate intent behind the Patriot Act, which was, I remind you, written by Joe Biden himself. | ||
| Nothing that's happening right now is happening spontaneously, all of the sudden, without a big lead-up. | ||
| We're seeing the fulfillment and the culmination of 20 years, at least, of groundwork being laid. | ||
| And it really is getting insane. | ||
| Gateway Punna has this story. | ||
| Homeland Security awards $20 million to police, mental health networks, universities, churches, and school districts to help identify Americans as potential extremists. | ||
| The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced on September 6th that $20 million in federal grants, that is your tax dollars, will be handed out to 34 organizations to, quote, prevent targeted violence and terrorism. | ||
| Pre-crime, thought crime, speech crime. | ||
| Since today's the anniversary of the 9-11 attacks, published yesterday, you might think these 34 organizations would be focused on al-Qaeda, ISIS, the Iranian Republic Guard Corps. | ||
| But you'd be wrong. | ||
| They're focused on Americans who dissent from the prevailing narratives coming out of the federal government and its collaborating partners in the corporate media and major social media platforms. | ||
| Whether it's COVID and vaccines, the war in Ukraine, immigration, the Second Amendment, LGBTQ ideology and gender child gender confusion or the issue of protecting life in the womb, you are no longer allowed to hold dissenting opinions and voice them publicly in America. | ||
| If you do, your own government will take note and consider you a potential violent extremist and terrorist. | ||
| The $20 million is going to universities, behavioral and mental health providers, youth services organizations, schools, churches and faith leaders and state law enforcement agencies. | ||
| Their job will be to identify political dissidents and foster interventions among those Americans considered to be, quote, going down a path towards violence. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| By which they mean opposing the government. | ||
| By which they mean telling the truth about the insane lies, the incredibly damaging tyranny that this government has inflicted on its own people on a continual basis for the last several years. | ||
| We were right about everything when it came to COVID. We were right about everything when it came to Patriot Act. | ||
| We were right about everything when it came to the election being stolen. | ||
| We called it months before the theft even happened and then watched in real time as they stole it right in front of us. | ||
| But if you mention any of these things, they'll claim that you are going down the path towards violence in exactly the way that we predicted it would. | ||
| We said, we told you, we made the prediction that they would steal the election, then they would Encourage and foster violence as a result of people questioning the election and then they would say that by questioning the election you are therefore contributing to the atmosphere of violence so you can't question the election anymore or else you're responsible for violence. | ||
| Like that's what I predicted on Twitter in August of 2020 months before the election even happened and now we're seeing the fulfillment of that as they literally try to send Owen Troyer to jail Four months or more simply for questioning the election, or as they put it, contributing to the atmosphere of violence. | ||
| Not because he called for violence, but because he questioned the election. | ||
| So now this will be decentralized. | ||
| It'll be schools and churches and mental health organizations who will now be The deputized Stasi of the political class in order to crush any dissent before it can manifest itself in some sort of pushback. | ||
| While it's still simply in the discussion phase, they want intervention. | ||
| To date, they've awarded $70 million in grants to private non-profit state and local government agencies. | ||
| And the press release about the $20 million in new grants I thought her name was like Lujan or something. | ||
| Maybe she has two last names. | ||
| Yes, they're using mental health, they're using public health crisis as an excuse to bring all this about, and we've covered it every step of the way. | ||
| When they announced that racism is a public health issue, when they say that misinformation or disinformation is somehow a public health issue, now gun violence is a public health issue, despite the fact that all of these things have been made infinitely worse by the actions and policies of the Democrats themselves. | ||
| New Mexico was very extreme in the defund the police movement. | ||
| They have allowed the atmosphere of violence to foster, to fester, to grow and bubble over to where the gun violence is at an all-time high now because explicitly they stopped imprisoning criminals. | ||
| They made it easier to get out. | ||
| They made it harder for prosecutors to hold suspects. | ||
| I mean, they did all of these things. | ||
| That led to more violence. Then they see the violence and say, oh, it's a public health crisis. | ||
| You can't have guns anymore. | ||
| As if the lawful gun carriers are the ones doing this rather than gangs who are forbidden a lot of times because of felony convictions from having guns in the first place. | ||
| Meanwhile, the FBI and White House likely coerced social media platforms, this according to an appeals court. | ||
| Federal appeals court on Friday limited the scope of a district court ruling that restricted communications between government agencies and social media companies. | ||
| The appeals panel agreed that several federal offices and agencies, including the White House, likely violated the First Amendment by coercing the platform's content moderation decisions. | ||
| The appeals court decision means that some federal agencies, the State Department and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, will not be subject to the injunction. | ||
| So they admit that they violated the First Amendment. | ||
| They cooperated with corporations like Big Tech in order to silence language that was true but they didn't want you talking about. | ||
| But they say it's fine and that's okay because I guess they meant well. | ||
| Who knows? Now, when it comes to the FBI murdering people, it's not even getting attention anymore. | ||
| Relatives ID Albuquerque man killed by FBI while authorities stay silent. | ||
| Family members have identified a person who was shot and killed by FBI agents last week in northeast Albuquerque. | ||
| Attorney Ahmed Ased, who is assisting the family, said an FBI task force killed 32-year-old Ahmad Nassar On August 8th, inside his family's home near Mountain and Chelwood Park, they knocked and asked for Nassar before detaining his mother and brother. | ||
| Said authorities then took over and an hour or two later told the brother and mother Nassar had been killed. | ||
| Okay. Nassar had been shot at least four times as a result of this FBI raid. | ||
| Hardly heard about that, I would think. | ||
| You also have Theodore Deschler. | ||
| He was killed by the FBI in a pre-dawn raid. | ||
| His family is now demanding answers, saying law enforcement have not explained why he was shot dead and his mother Bonnie's home destroyed. | ||
| They're seeking answers from the FBI agents that killed Theodore Deschler, 45, in a pre-dawn raid, claiming the victim had been unarmed and was in fact completely disabled because he was a veteran who had PTSD. And the house has been ruined by tear gas, flashbang, bullet holes and broken windows. | ||
| FBI kill squads. And of course, you probably have heard about the one in Utah where a man who was confined to a wheelchair and like 400 pounds said he was going to get in a ghillie suit and shoot President Biden. | ||
| So they broke in his house and shot him dead. | ||
| Welcome back, folks. This will be my final segment with you for today's American Journal. | ||
| I'll be moving over to the Alex Jones studio to prepare for that broadcast. | ||
| Chase Geiser will take over here. | ||
| I imagine he'll still be taking calls, right, Chase? | ||
| He's got his own stories to cover as well. | ||
| But he'll take over the last hour of American Journal. | ||
| Then I will be in the big studio for the Alex Jones show. | ||
| We are, of course... | ||
| Keeping an eye on and awaiting updates from the courtroom where Owen Schroer will soon be sentenced. | ||
| Hopefully, and praying to God that it's not jail time that he's facing, but of course they're trying to give him four months, potential year is what he faces. | ||
| And stay tuned because we will go live to the courtroom just as soon as that decision is finalized. | ||

| So we thank you so much for going to infowarstore.com. | ||
| We simply ask that you... | ||
| Continue, and if possible, ramp up your contributions as we are facing some of our most difficult challenges in our long and storied history of opposing the globalists. | ||
| With that, we go to the phone calls now. | ||
| Let me see. I want to take more calls just on Owen, so let's go to Gene in Virginia. | ||
| Gene in Virginia has called in about the First Amendment. | ||
| Thanks for calling in. Gene, you're on the air. | ||
| How are you doing, Harrison? Good, thank you. | ||
| Alright, so my reason for calling today is, well, this attack on the First Amendment there, but the real purpose is that I'd like to remind the people of their sovereignty with the holy word. | ||
| You know, rank in the military and, you know, you just put two and two together and one remembers to be a commander, to be sovereign. | ||
| And we're commanded, you know, in the Bible to cast out demons and do all that sort of thing. | ||
| There's a lot to be said about the power of your mouth and your tongue, which, you know, they're really trying to, like, put a mask over. | ||
| So I'd like people to get in touch with that and remember their heart and who they are, you know, to push all of the excess aside. | ||
| And that one voice can make a difference. | ||
| Many voices can change everything. | ||
| And what you guys are doing is invaluable to us in our sovereignty. | ||
| And I just want to say thank you very much for what you're doing. | ||
| Well, thank you for your support and your kind words. | ||
| And I can't imagine not wanting to stand up to this. | ||
| I can't imagine not doing everything that one can to try to oppose this really existential threat. | ||
| I think it's Pathetic, weak, and cowardly to anybody who knows this is going on and is just shrugging it off. | ||
| It's just too much trouble. | ||
| I just have my own stuff going on. | ||
| I mean, this is it. This is the destruction of America as we know it. | ||
| This is an irreversible program they're putting into place. | ||
| I mean, Aldous Huxley called it the ultimate revolution, the revolution beyond which any further revolution would be impossible. | ||
| That's the point of all of this. | ||
| The point of all of this is total, absolute, complete, and permanent control of humanity itself. | ||
| If they are able to put this stuff in place, that's it. | ||
| There is no breaking out. | ||
| Just as you're seeing with their $20 million gift to hospitals and schools and youth organizations. | ||
| Do you think it's possible for the Chinese people to stage a popular revolution against the Chinese government? | ||
| Of course not. Because the instant somebody gets that idea in their head, their social credit scores drop, their own friends are no longer going to... | ||
| Talk to them anymore. I mean, there's no possible way for the snowball effect that is necessary for popular ground, you know, grassroots change to take place. | ||
| It'll be cut off. It'll be aborted before it's viable. | ||
| Like, that's the system that they're putting into place. | ||
| If we don't stop it now, if we don't stop this system now, It'll be put in place, and that'll be it for humanity. | ||
| The most evil people in the whole world will be in charge forever, and that's the way that they want it. | ||
| Now is not the time to slacken in our resolve. | ||
| And just to emphasize the point you made, Gene, a quote attributed to Joseph Stalin says, Ideas are more powerful than guns. | ||
| We would not allow our enemies to have guns. | ||
| Why should we let them have ideas? | ||
| The pin really is mightier than the sword, especially in this. | ||
| In this ultimate struggle for existence. | ||
| Let's go now to David. | ||
| Thank you for the call, Gene. Let's go to David in Pennsylvania. | ||
| Line 5. They're taking us down one by one. | ||
| They really are, aren't they, David? | ||
| Go ahead. You're on the air. Hey, Harrison. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How are you? Good. Thank you. | |
| Yeah, the reason I called is, you know, I've listened to all three shows. | ||
| I started listening in 2005. | ||
| And, um... | ||
| You know, Enrique Tarrio, Joe Biggs. | ||
| I remember when Joe Biggs was on InfoWars. | ||
| If we keep... | ||
| I call my congressman every day. | ||
| You can call Guy Roshenthaler. | ||
| I'm in southwestern PA. I call him every day. | ||
| I even told him about Schroyer. | ||
| I demanded an investigation into Hawaii. | ||
| It's just like nothing seems to work. | ||
| And what I'm afraid of Because we're going to watch everybody get taken down one by one by one. | ||
| And once they take the leadership out, then they're just going to come for people like me. | ||
| I already know them on the list. | ||
| I was called by the FBI about going to 1-6. | ||
| I made a post that I'd be lucky to come back alive. | ||
| The reason being is they let Antifa and BLM attack people like us. | ||
| I lived in Baltimore for 12 years. | ||
| You're not allowed to open carry. | ||
| You can't conceal carry. | ||
| So who was going to protect us? | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And, you know, at what point are we going to say, you know, no more? | |
| These people do not belong in prison. | ||
| People who do belong in prison are running the show. | ||
| And we're at a stalemate. | ||
| So what are we going to do to break the stalemate? | ||
| *sigh* Well, we've got to get active. | ||
| We have to realize what's at risk here and realize that the purpose of all of this is to instill fear in us, is to make us think that if we exercise our rights, then we'll be punished for it, and so we willfully give up those rights. | ||
| And, I mean, all you have to do is look back at... | ||
| Don't take my advice. Take it, you know, Alexander Solzhenitsyn's, right? | ||
| We have to love freedom so dearly that it's impossible to tear it away from us. | ||
| I mean, that really is the only path forward. | ||
| And we can look back in history at times when the... | ||
| Human drive for liberty has been snuffed out and has been taken over and realized that it's not an inevitability that these systems collapse. | ||
| The Soviet Union, despite being opposed at every pass by the most powerful country in the world, I mean, it lasted for eight decades. | ||
| So what do you think is going to happen when America goes down and there's nobody fighting against the system they're putting into place? | ||
| How long do you think it'll last then? | ||
| I mean, it can go on forever. | ||
| Look at South Africa. | ||
| It's been in a state of collapse for decades, and it's just getting worse and worse and worse, and there's never a point where it's so bad that... | ||
| It's a flip of the chessboard, a flip of the monopoly board, and everything goes crazy and you get to rebuild. | ||
| It'll just slowly degrade until there is no infrastructure. | ||
| There are no complex systems that are running functionally. | ||
| There is no freedom... | ||
| You know, at all because there's no civilization at all. | ||
| I mean, that's where they're eventually taking us. | ||
| So it's not possible to wait until the right time. | ||
| The time is now. The time is before now, actually. | ||
| But now is when we're really up against the wall and right at the finish line. | ||
| I'm going to leave the phones up. | ||
| Chase is taking over for me. | ||
| It's up to him if he's going to take more calls or not. | ||
| He'll let you know that. I'm going to jump over to the Alex Jones studio and get prepared for... | ||
| Today's Alex Jones broadcast. | ||
| We are awaiting word from the InfoWars team at the courthouse where Owen is either being sentenced as we speak or will be very shortly. | ||
| Again, stay tuned to InfoWars. | ||
| We will be the first to report it whenever the sentencing comes. | ||
| So stay with us. Chase Geiser takes over for me after this. | ||
| Of course, you can... Subscribe to us at substack, harrisonelsmith.substack.com to see the stories and get all the videos that we cover every day. | ||
| And stay tuned. Chase, guys, in the next hour, I will be back on air in one hour for The Alex Jones Show. | ||

Don't go anywhere, folks. You're tuned in to The American Journal with your host, Chase Geyser. | |
| Watch it live right now at fan.video. | ||
| Welcome back to the American Journal, folks. folks. | ||
| I am guest hosting, filling in for Harrison Smith. | ||
| This final hour today is Chase Geyser. | ||
| This hour, we are going to be taking calls and breaking balls. | ||
| In the meantime, please visit Infowarsstore.com and make sure that you support the Info War. | ||
| It's good to be back on the air. | ||
| You know, one of the things that frustrates me About everything that's going on is we have a disadvantage compared to our forefathers in that at least our forefathers got to look the enemy right in the eye and fight them, right? | ||
| During the Revolutionary War, they could actually go into battle, fight the enemy, and see it was face-to-face, it was honorable, it was clear-cut. | ||
| But this day and age, the enemy always operates in the shadows with things like litigious harassment, Censorship. | ||
| Targeting right-wing outlets or organizations specifically for audits, taxes, things of that nature. | ||
| And you never really know exactly where the enemy is or what it's going to do. | ||
| But in light of all that's going on with Owen, it feels good to be sitting in a chair facing a camera on Infowars because I know that I'm one step closer to the front. | ||
| And I just want to say a special thanks to the crew here, everybody at Infowars, and all the listeners for being part of the great Infowar, the great battle for civilization, for the West, for the United States of America, and all that it stands for, all that it was built upon. | ||
| Because without you guys, I think that this war would have been lost a long time ago. | ||
| Without M4s, I think it would have been lost a long time ago. | ||
| And it's funny because I've been listening to a lot of old broadcasts from Alex Jones from all the way back in 2001 as I go through and sort of archive some of the old episodes and sort through what Alex has said over the years. | ||
| And the message has been consistent. | ||
| It's been the same for over 20 years. | ||
| The globalists are taking over. | ||
| There is a new world order. | ||
| These power structures, these political elite, the political class, are doing everything that they can to conglomerate power, to mitigate freedom and liberty, So that they can ensure ultimate power for themselves and ultimately turn themselves into transhuman gods and live forever. | ||
| I think that's ultimately the goal is that the political class can secure power for itself guaranteed forever and never die because those who don't believe in God must themselves become God. | ||
| Those who fear there is nothing when we die seek most to live forever. | ||
| And I wonder if If we were to go back to ancient Rome, if we would see someone who looks just like Alex Jones, screaming on the corner outside of the Capitol, outside of a Senate meeting, about how everything was about ready to come down, everything was about ready to collapse. | ||
| And it begs the question, why is it that despite all of these historical examples, Throughout the last 2,000 years, 3,000, 4,000, 5,000 years, throughout the last 6,000 to 8,000 years that we've even had written history, time and time again, civilizations build up, they accomplish great things, freedoms are mitigated, and inevitable collapse comes. | ||
| One thing that I refuse not to believe is that this entropy is inevitable. | ||
| I refuse to believe that Collapse is what must happen. | ||
| I refuse to believe that all civilizations reach a peak, experience entropy, and then fall upon themselves. | ||
| I believe that if America can be a first of anything again, perhaps it can be the first nation to actually reverse corruption. | ||
| And even if it is impossible, should we not fight for that? | ||
| I'll be taking your calls in the next segment. | ||
| Make sure you call in, 877-789-2539. | ||
| I want to hear what you think about the future of America, what you think about what's going on with Owen today. | ||
| And stay with us, folks. | ||
| Folks, make sure you visit InfoWarsStore.com and get yourself something good. | ||

You're listening to The American Journal with your host, Chase Geyser. | |
| The American Journal with your host, Chase Geyser. | ||
| Welcome back to The American Journal, folks. | ||
| Taking calls this segment. | ||
| I remember the first time I ever heard this song. | ||
| I was playing Foursquare in Downs, Illinois with some friends, and I was like, who is this? | ||
| It's all along the watchtower. | ||
| So much better than the Bob Dylan version. | ||
| All right, we're going to take a call from Don in Montana. | ||
| Don, are you with us? | ||
| Yes, I am. Thank you for calling. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good morning. Good morning. | |
| Nice talking to you, Chase. You too. | ||
| Hey, on the Owen thing, I did serve 10 years in federal prison. | ||
| Thank you for your service. | ||
| Yeah, right. | ||
| So as he gets read his sentence today, regardless of what time it encompasses, The judge is going to let him know that he has lost his Second Amendment right to possess, own a firearm, and or possession of ammunition. | ||
| So as you get your head around that, you know, as you plead guilty of these things, you take these alleged sweetheart deals as opposed to doing, you know, the ultimatum is this. | ||
| Hey, we're going to give you 120 months if you plead guilty. | ||
| If you don't, we're going to give you... | ||
| 15 years. You're a repeat offender. | ||
| You've got a felon in possession of a firearm. | ||
| You're a prior conviction for driving while suspending or a habitual offender for whatever, partner, family member, assault, whatever your charge may have been when you've pled guilty to. | ||
| Now you're a convicted felon. | ||
| You have prior criminal convictions. | ||
| You're not going to be allowed to own a firearm. | ||
| And as the judge reads his guilty, accepting his guilty verdict, and before he passes judgment, he's going to tell him the conditions of his conviction as the judge accepts it. | ||
| So Owen's going to lose that. | ||
| Not only that, he's probably going to go to jail for a little bit, you know? | ||
| I mean, it is what it is. | ||
| I mean, you tell me one of those Jan Sixers that have been acquitted or found not guilty. | ||
| There's not one. So that's what's going to happen to him. | ||
| Yeah, that's what's going to happen to him. | ||
| And it's just sad that we're living in a time that that's where we're at. | ||
| And this conspiracy charge that the feds always like to use, and when I was in there doing 120 months of my life, Most of the people were in there for the conspiracy was part of the charge. | ||
| What that is is a lazy charge that says, hey, we don't have to have evidence. | ||
| All we got to have is a text form. | ||
| You sending text to somebody or somebody saying you said this, and we're not going to do the police work. | ||
| We're not going to prove. It's thought crime is what it is. | ||
| And that's basically what's going on. | ||
| Conspiracy is the Fed's favorite charge because they're lazy, and they brag about their 98, 99 percent conviction rate. | ||
| You know why? Because they go to states all over the United States. | ||
| And they pick and choose who they want to convict. | ||
| Well, hell, if you're in possession of five firearms and you're pulled over by a cop, guess what? | ||
| They're going to pick you up because they know they've got a slam dunk case. | ||
| They pick and choose. This is selective prosecution. | ||
| It's all BS. And that's just how the feds work. | ||
| This is the country we live in now. | ||
| And I know because I've been there. | ||
| I've lived it. Tell me a little bit about... | ||
| I want to hear... Tell me about your first day. | ||
| What was your first day in the can? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I was blown away when I first went. | |
| You go to Oklahoma City to get classed. | ||
| They decide where you're going to go. | ||
| You're going to go to a medium, a low, a high, USP, or wherever you're going to go. | ||
| So you sit there for a couple months, and you sit there, and then they class you. | ||
| Then from there, you go to your prospective prison where you've been classed upon. | ||
| And like I said, you do 80% of your time. | ||
| The feds hand out time like it's water, and you don't get... | ||
| You know, like some states like California, you know, you get 20 years, you do about five on 20. | ||
| Not with the feds. It doesn't matter where you go. | ||
| You're doing 80% of your time. | ||
| That's if you program, you do the classes, you do everything you're supposed to do. | ||
| That's just how it is. But the sad part is the conspiracy charge. | ||
| They don't need, they don't use evidence. | ||
| They don't have the end result is, okay, you know, this is what you've done. | ||
| You conspired to do this, and that's exactly what they're doing to Owen. | ||
| He conspired to do this. | ||
| Well, we have this and this and little bits of evidence, but they don't have no proof of what transpired from that. | ||
| What's the end result? Well, nothing happened, but you conspired to do this because we have the evidence on your text message. | ||
| And it's just the prison system is full of it. | ||
| I mean, I've been there. I know it's full of this. | ||
| This conspiracy charge is a horrible thing. | ||
| And I just feel bad for Alan because if he has any guns, he better get rid of them. | ||
| He's going to have to get rid of them because he cannot be around them because if they do, now you're under scrutiny after because you violated your conditions of release. | ||
| You've lost your Second Amendment right. | ||
| He can't go to Canada anymore. | ||
| He's not going to be able to go abroad. | ||
| He's not going to be able to go to a lot of places because he is a convicted felon now. | ||
| And I just feel bad for him. | ||
| And, you know, he had to take the deal because it's an ultimatum thing. | ||
| And they're actually right. | ||
| I mean, you hear, but Joe Biggs, if you would have took the deal, you probably would have got three, four years, five years, whatever. | ||
| If you don't, we're going to give you 22. | ||
| And that's exactly what happened to them. | ||
| In your entire 10-year time in prison, did you meet anybody that was a political prisoner, or is this happening for the first time in your experience? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, I was at a USP, which is the highest level other than in Colorado, where you're underground and they pipe in daylight. | |
| It goes like this. | ||
| It goes low, medium, and then USP, United States Federal Penitentiary, that's the highest level. | ||
| I've been around people that were in Victorville. | ||
| I was around people that were in the 9-11, Al-Qaeda. | ||
| People that were actually at the highest level, that were Muslim and from other... | ||
| The feds don't care. They'll come anywhere in the world and grab you up, throw you in our prisons in America. | ||
| And yeah, I've been around Arabs, I've been around all of them, South Africa, everything, all walks of life. | ||
| You can't imagine. They'll go anywhere and grab you. | ||
| They don't care. And when I was at the USP level, which is the highest level, that's where those And it's interesting because you're seeing people from Africa, you're seeing people from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, all these people that are in there are basically on conspiracy charges. | ||
| And what percentage of them would you say cooperated with the feds? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's not really a matter of cooperation. | |
| If they want to make an example of you, it's not a matter of cooperation. | ||
| It's a matter of making an example of you. | ||
| That's what our government is now. | ||
| They don't care. It's about, this is what you are, and it's a numbers game for them. | ||
| It is. It's a numbers game. | ||
| And that's exactly what they do. | ||
| They'll come anywhere, anytime, snatch you up out of your country, if not kill you, if you're at that level where you need to be removed. | ||
| I mean, that's just what happens. | ||
| It's I was blown away when I got to the federal level, and I actually seen and listened and talked to a lot of people in 120 months. | ||
| You have a lot of sellies. | ||
| You meet a lot of people. You do a lot of things, and you hear this stuff, and you're just aghast at how our government really is. | ||
| As an average American, it's never been in trouble. | ||
| We live under the facade that we don't know. | ||
| Until you've been there, like these guys are now, the Gen Sixers, until you've been there, you cannot... | ||
| It's mind-blowing. I mean, your head just was like, oh my gosh, I can't believe this is really happening to me in this country. | ||
| Supposed to be the freest country in the world. | ||
| New slash, not so much. | ||
| When did you get out? I got out in 2015. | ||
| Wow. So what's the last eight years been like for you? | ||
| Was it hard to get reintegrated? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, well, that was at a higher level. | |
| I mean, I've seen a lot of... | ||
| I've seen a lot of people get murdered right in front of me. | ||
| People that I used to, you know, I play basketball with and do sporting events. | ||
| You know, you do stuff in there to occupy your time. | ||
| I've been in there with people that, yeah, I've watched a lot of heinous stuff. | ||
| I've watched it. People are, you know, when you get sentenced to life and there's people that are never getting out for stuff that, it was just conspiracy. | ||
| They were doing things. 25 years at 45 years old, you're never going home. | ||
| So these people have really bad attitudes, and when you live amongst the wolves and you're never going home, you adopt a certain mentality. | ||
| You become a—you tip up—oh, I say tip up—you join gangs because in there, you're living amongst wolves. | ||
| If you're not a wolf, then guess what? | ||
| You're preyed upon. So, and these people have really, really, really bad attitudes. | ||
| You know, the devil's alive in there. | ||
| It's just, it's vicious. | ||
| Every day you wake up, you don't know if it's going to be your day that's getting stabbed. | ||
| You don't know. You know, it's just, it's a vicious lifestyle in there. | ||
| It is, at that level, at least at the USP. The lows and the mediums are a little bit different. | ||
| But I was in the belly of the beast, and I got to see, and yeah, I got to meet a lot of people from all over the world. | ||
| And I was just amazed how that they came into, you know, they'll go to Afghanistan, snatch you up, put you on a C-130, fly you back to America, put you in a court, throw you in federal prison, and you're never going home. | ||
| That's what they do. Well, thanks so much for your call, Dawn. | ||
| I really do appreciate it. I'm glad that you've been out of the can for the last eight years. | ||
| I hope that you and yours are doing well, getting reintegrated. | ||
| Stay with us, folks. We will be back in the next segment taking more calls. | ||
| Just a heads up to everybody. We are connected with Owen in the courtroom, and as soon as we hear anything, and as far as live updates are concerned, we will be clocking over, switching over, and making sure that we're covering that live as new developments come in. | ||

Welcome back to the American Journal, folks. | |
| This is Chase Geyser filling in for the great Harrison Smith. | ||
| He will be back on the air in about 40 minutes, filling in for the great Alex Jones for the first hour of the Alex Jones Show, and I believe Alex is coming in after that. | ||
| And then, of course, this afternoon, I will be filling in for Owen on the War Room. | ||
| It'll be my first time on the War Room, so make sure you guys tune in and support. | ||
| Stay active in the chats and call in during that show as well. | ||
| Next up, I want to take a call from Tove in Canada. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Tove, what's going on? How you doing, Chase? | |
| I'm good. How are you, sir? I wish the world was in a better state, especially for Owen and Alex and Dan Sixers. | ||
| Anyway, I'm calling from Canada, and I went to a benefit dinner. | ||
| Well, not a dinner. A benefit for a man that was a Canadian trucker who had the crap beaten out of him, and he's being charged with... | ||
| Resisting arrest and honking and a couple other issues. | ||
| And he's been on, I think Jesse Waters was going to get him to Florida and he refused. | ||
| That's how loyal he is. | ||
| So I kind of wanted to know if there's a way maybe to get him on info boards like being interviewed or anything like that and get a few funds for him. | ||
| Well, with God, all things are possible. | ||
| Make sure you send in his info. | ||
| Send us a DM on any of the social media platforms. | ||
| Make sure to check those regularly, and we'll see what we can do for sure. | ||
| So, what's he being charged with? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, there's four charges. | |
| I'm not sure of the other two, but he's being charged with resisting arrest, which he didn't do any of. | ||
| They took his keys, and he had to hotwire his It's rigged to get home. | ||
| And he's also being charged with something called honking, or that's the way he puts it. | ||
| It's probably like public nuisance. | ||
| And there's two other charges. | ||
| And, yeah, his trial, I don't know if it starts this week or next week, but he was one of the last. | ||
| He's like a Romanian transplant to Canada and quite a patriot. | ||
| He was... He was up in Ottawa when all this happened. | ||
| Well, thank you for your call and for filling us in about it, Toby. | ||
| I do appreciate it. Next, I want to take a call from Don in Michigan. | ||
| Don, what's going on? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, Chase. How you doing, buddy? | |
| I'm good, buddy. How are you? I'm doing all right. | ||
| I'm just really concerned about Owen, you know, and all the January 6th Patriots. | ||
| Praying for him. Lois and I are praying real hard. | ||
| Thank you for your prayers. I'm also... | ||
| I'm also almost in tears from what I read from your exchange from your buddy of many years. | ||
| And I'm always changing. | ||
| I've had a couple things like that happen over my lifetime, too. | ||
| Yeah, it's tough. You know, and the crazy thing about it is, I was thinking about this on the drive over here. | ||
| I have so many friends who have the opposite political views that I have. | ||
| And I hate their political views, but I don't like them any less because they harbor those views, right? | ||
| Because I know that my friends, the good people in my life are, even though they believe the wrong things, They believe the wrong things for the right reasons. | ||
| People look at you as an inferior person of worse moral character just because you disagree with them about political issues. | ||
| If I were to ask my friend in this instance, let's say, for example, just hypothetically, let's assume that Donald Trump is innocent. | ||
| If he is innocent in this hypothetical scenario, I don't know. | ||
| So ultimately, it's not that I'm a bad person covering for some sort of tyrant and just, you know, engulfed in some sort of idol worship of Donald Trump. | ||
| And I'm just so blinded by my love of Trump and my worship of his hair and his personality and the fact that he was on an amazing TV show 22 years ago. | ||
| Like, that's not what's going on here. | ||
| We just disagree about a premise. | ||
| So why is it that we can't even, you know, go bowling together? | ||
| Yeah. We don't have to talk about that, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We just disagree. We're all Americans. | |
| We should agree to disagree. | ||
| If everybody was all the same, it'd be an awful boring place. | ||
| Yeah, that's the truth, man. | ||
| Well, I appreciate your call. Next up, I want to hear from... | ||
| What were you going to say, Don? | ||
| I don't want to cut you off. What's up, buddy? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I was going to say, I got two quick questions. | |
| Number one, how did you get out of there without me getting a picture with you? | ||
| And number two, you still got that autograph of mine? | ||
| Oh, I got it, man. It's sitting right on top of the... | ||
| It's sitting in my office. | ||
| I know exactly where it is. And frankly, your autograph is on the back of Reese's Tito's order. | ||
| That's what the piece of paper was. | ||
| It was really nice to meet you. | ||
| I appreciate it. And don't worry about the photograph, man. | ||
| I got a photographic memory. Good to hear from you, Don. | ||
| Take care. Let's hear from Joe in Jersey. | ||
| Joe, what's going on? Yo, Chase. | ||
| How are you, sir? Chase? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep, I can hear you. Hey, bro. It's Joe from Connect Those Dots, bro. | |
| Hey, Joe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What's up, buddy? You're like my first big guest ever on my podcast. | |
| So, like, I love you, bro. | ||
| I love you, too. Before I get into my thing, I met Owen in Vegas at Reawaken America Tour, which is an incredible thing. | ||
| Owen is the dude that you see on The War Room every single day when you watch him. | ||
| He's not like a snob. | ||
| He's not a larger-than-life guy. | ||
| He remembered that I wanted to do a podcast with him and approached me and was like, Joe, I'm about to leave. | ||
| Let's do your podcast together. | ||
| So, Owen is a friggin' stand-up guy, an incredible dude. | ||
| And watching them rake him through the coals like this is just, you know, obviously, like, it tears you up inside. | ||
| But more than the globalists and the Soros DAs and the Baulas and the Shaq Kaulas that do all the globalist stuff, it's really the order followers that we have to worry about. | ||
| So when Alex was talking to Enrique and Dom yesterday, the Proud Boys, they mentioned that when they talked to the guards and the marshals and all the people there, they know it's bogus. | ||
| They know that they're in there wrongfully. | ||
| But they sit there and bow their heads Yeah, and the crazy thing is, it's not like they're being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to do it either. | ||
| It's like, yeah, for 14 bucks an hour, I'll sure as hell disregard all my values. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Dude, it's unreal. | |
| So it's really like when Klaus talks about this will be the rise of the robot. | ||
| This is the robotization. | ||
| Before the robot can come in Terminator style, you got to roboticize the human will. | ||
| Roboticize the human consciousness. | ||
| And really that's what we're seeing. | ||
| That's where the whole NPC meme sort of comes from. | ||
| What's an NPC? It's a computer program. | ||
| It's only programmed to do what the coders have embedded in its activation processes. | ||
| So that's really what we're dealing with when it comes to the people that we love and want to protect and serve and we want to back the blue and all that stuff. | ||
| But when they're getting unlawful orders and they know they're unlawful and they follow them anyway, Those are the real people that we need to... | ||
| The globalists are powerless if these people don't follow their orders. | ||
| That's right. Now, Joe, don't hang up. | ||
| Stay on the line. We've got to cut to break. | ||
| I want to continue this conversation on the other side. | ||
| In the meantime, audience, make sure you visit Infowarsstore.com and support the Infowar. | ||
| We'll be right back. Welcome back to the American Journal, folks. | ||
| We're taking calls and breaking balls. | ||
| You know, Joe, I hope you're still on the line because I want to keep talking to you. | ||
| One of the things you mentioned was how The Owen that you see on the War Room is the Owen in real life, and that's one of the things that really amazed me about InfoWars. | ||
| Since I've started working here and sort of being affiliated with the network, I've been a fan of InfoWars for a long time. | ||
| I've been a fan of Alex Jones for a long time as well. | ||
| Really a devoted fan for the last three years or so, basically ever since the election, but always a sort of surface-level fan since I saw the Bohemian Grove video over 10 years ago. | ||
| And I never knew whether or not it was a real sort of character that I was seeing on InfoWars or whether it was sort of a facade, for lack of a better term. | ||
| All I knew is that I liked it, right? | ||
| Since working here, I've had shifts where I've just clocked in at 10 p.m. | ||
| and clocked out the next day at 10 p.m. | ||
| And I've been around the crew. | ||
| I've been around the hosts. | ||
| Let me tell you folks, these people say what they mean and they mean what they say. | ||
| There's no character, there's no faking, there's no acting, there's no trumped up. | ||
| Regardless of whether or not you believe what is said on InfoWars, InfoWars believes what InfoWars says. | ||
| And it's really been an amazing experience. | ||
| But Joe, I want to hear from you more man. | ||
| What's going on? You still with us Joe? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I'm still with you. You hear me? | |
| Yeah, I hear you. You sound great. | ||
| Do you not hear me? I can hear you. | ||
| Can you hear me? Oh, beautiful. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank God. Yeah, dude, exactly to what you just said. | |
| InfoWars is, like, really just a savior for a lot of people, including myself, you know? | ||
| I mean, and I'm talking more about sort of the order followers I had enough discernment, willpower, wherewithal when my company told me to forcibly inject something into my body that I didn't want to when they wanted me to continue working for them. | ||
| I said no, and I recreated myself. | ||
| I went on a different path. Why do we see all of these people that are supposed to be our protectors, that are supposed to be our thin blue line, they don't have enough willpower to actually stick to their oaths. | ||
| And protect the individuals and call out unlawful stuff when they see it. | ||
| It's disgusting, but with things like Infowars, we have people to get activated. | ||
| InfoWars activated me. | ||
| I wouldn't start my podcast if it wasn't for InfoWars influencing me, and I would probably still be an Order follower. | ||
| I always, just like you, I always had that inclination to have that rebellious spirit, and I liked Alex Jones. | ||
| I didn't know exactly if everything was legit or not, but just like you, I knew I liked it. | ||
| So, and when I actually took the deep dive and started listening to him, it's like, holy shit! | ||
| Sorry. Holy crap! | ||
| What he's saying is legit! | ||
| And It's been a sprint ever since. | ||
| So, God bless you guys. God bless Owen Schroer. | ||
| I know God is going to, you know, see him through at the end of this. | ||
| And we just got to keep fighting the good fight and we can't be like these order followers because once you stop following the globalist orders, they do not have any power. | ||
| I'm just getting an update regarding the Owen story. | ||
| It looks like Owen will be coming up and talking about it soon. | ||
| Preliminary reports are saying that Owen got 60 days. | ||
| Nothing confirmed yet on my end, but I'm not sure about that. | ||
| But I just want to keep you updated as fast as we get new information. | ||
| We may be cutting over to the story shortly. | ||
| Looks like Scott's coming in studio here to give me an update here that we'll go over as soon as possible. | ||
| Thank you, Scott. Okay. | ||
| Looks like InfoWars host Owen Schroer sentenced to 60 days in January 6th case. | ||
| This is me reading it for the first time to you. | ||
| Washington, a host of the far-right media outlet InfoWars, was sentenced Tuesday to 60 days in prison for his role in the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. | ||
| Owen Schroer is one of only a handful of January 6th participants charged with a crime despite neither entering the Capitol building nor being accused of committing violence or destruction on Capitol grounds. | ||
| Prosecutors charged Schroyer because he had previously signed a deferred prosecution agreement after interrupting a congressional hearing in 2019 and had agreed as part of that case not to utter loud, threatening, or abusive language or to engage in any disorderly or disruptive conduct at any place upon the United States Capitol grounds. | ||
| About 1,100 defendants have been charged in connection with the January 6th U.S. Capitol attack and more than 600 have been sentenced, including more than 372 periods of incarceration. | ||
| Democrats are posing as communists, but we know what they really are. | ||
| They're just tyrants. They're tyrants, Schroyer said on a bullhorn as he led a crowd to the Capitol on January 6th. | ||
| And so today on January 6th, we declare death to tyranny, death to tyrants. | ||
| And the article goes on. | ||
| So it looks like... | ||
| This is the outcome. | ||
| According to NBCnews.com, Owen Schroer is going to be sentenced to 60 days of incarceration. | ||
| I'm going to see here on the second page whether it says when the sentence begins. | ||
| I'm not sure. The government sought 120 days of incarceration for Schroer. | ||
| Oh, NBC has a little typo. | ||
| They don't know how to spell his name. | ||
| They don't know how to talk trash about him, but they don't know how to spell his name correctly. | ||
| Saying that while he did not step foot inside the Capitol, many of those who listened to him did. | ||
| Schroer's defense team said that the case had been characterized by a cooperative spirit between the defense and the government and asked that he be spared prison time. | ||
| When he was at the Capitol on January 6th, Schroer wore two hats. | ||
| One was that of outraged citizen who believed that an election had been rigged. | ||
| The other as full-time journalist and commentator who sought a front row seat at an historic event, his defense team wrote. | ||
| During Tuesday sentencing hearing Schroer tore the court. | ||
| I was not a part of any larger plan for illegal activity or violence that day. | ||
| Troyer was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly, who I believe was appointed by Trump, who last week sent Proud Boys founder Enrique Tarrio to federal prison for a record-setting term of 22 years. | ||
| Correction on September 12th here. | ||
| Previous version of this article misstated when Schroer interrupted a congressional hearing. | ||
| It was 2019, not 2020. | ||
| But they still failed in this correction to spell his name correctly on the second page of this article. | ||
| So there you have it, folks. | ||
| Looks like Owen is going to go to prison for 60 days. | ||
| Let's take some more calls. 877-789-2539. | ||
| I want to hear what you think. In the meantime, we have time for one more call, I believe, maybe two. | ||
| Let's start with Austin from Washington. | ||
| Austin, how are you, sir? I'm pretty good. | ||
| How are you? It's good to hear from you. | ||
| Thank you for asking. I'm doing well. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I was calling in. I was listening about Enrique and Dom from yesterday's show with Alex, and they were talking about their experiences in there, and they were explaining how the guards thought that it was wrong that they were there and how the guards thought that they were praying with them about how they shouldn't be there. | |
| And I just found it odd that the very people who are in charge of actually keeping them physically restrained and in prison Think that it's wrong, but yet they're still being paid to do that. | ||
| What do you think about that? | ||
| Well, can you imagine? Let's just take an extreme example. | ||
| Let's say that you're operating a gas chamber in 1941. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're like, I'm so sorry that this is happening to you. | |
| You don't deserve to be gassed at all. | ||
| I mean, you're obviously a small family, you know, very innocent. | ||
| You're citizens, but... | ||
| Orders from the top! | ||
| Orders from the top! Sorry! | ||
| Like, at what point do you just quit your job? | ||
| Why are you working for the enemy? | ||
| It's not like unemployment is 30% and the only way that you can feed your own children is to do these atrocious things. | ||
| Like, you can get a job somewhere else. | ||
| Like, if you're a security guard at a jail or in a prison, you know how easy it is to get transferred to a different prison, get a job somewhere else, work in private security, just any other job. | ||
| It's not like you've reached this high echelon of career advancement to the point where if you quit your job, you are sacrificing years and years of accomplishment and hard work. | ||
| No! Like, why are you just following orders of tyrants? | ||
| For the sake of just a crummy job. | ||
| Like, oh, I don't understand it at all. | ||
| I mean, the things that the people on this crew have sacrificed in order to report this, the things that I've sacrificed in order to do this because I've had enough of tyranny is so much greater. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I know what you're saying. | |
| Go ahead. I know what you're saying there. | ||
| I know that Alex and the crew and the Infowars in general has a non-violent approach to dealing with the problems that confront us. | ||
| Mm-hmm. But when I look at this, I don't see any other way out of this than I'm worried that the outcome is going to be violent, too. | ||
| I'm worried that that's going to be the ultimate outcome. | ||
| That's not what we advocate here. | ||
| It's not what I advocate. We should start with civil disobedience. | ||
| And the best thing that we can do is work in any way that we can to get the right people in office and stop funding the tyrants. | ||
| So think about ways in which civil disobedience can make America a better place. | ||
| Stay with us, folks. | ||
| We'll be taking more calls in the next segment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Welcome back to the American Journal, folks. | |
| We'll be right back. | ||
| These Chase guys are filling in for the great Harrison Smith. | ||
| Harrison will be hosting the first hour of the Alex Jones Show, coming up here in just a few minutes, about 15 minutes or so. | ||
| At 11.06 a.m. | ||
| this morning at the beginning of the second segment of the Alex Jones show. | ||
| I believe that we will be getting an official statement from Owen and the crew regarding the recent news that he is sentenced to 60 days in prison. | ||
| I want to draw your attention to defend owen.com. | ||
| Now would be an outstanding time to show your support for Owen, all the work that he's done and all the work that he will continue to do after he is finished with his sentencing and up until his sentencing begins. | ||
| Make sure to show your support for Owen there if you haven't had the chance to do so already. | ||
| And I was doing a little bit of math during the break. | ||

| I want to take some more calls this segment up until we hear from Owen at the beginning of the next hour. | ||
| Let's hear from Todd in Alaska. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Todd, what's going on? Hi, buddy. | |
| So, earlier you had a phone call from a guy who did time in the federal penitentiary. | ||
| Yeah, Don from Montana. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I've done a little time myself, about 17 years. | |
| Thank you for your service. And I have... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I had multiple convictions for my stupidity, honestly. | |
| So knowing the rights that I've lost and understanding the rights that we have, understand this. | ||
| Never once did they ever take my citizenship from me, okay? | ||
| Now, you'll never get a court to admit this. | ||
| Most other people don't want to admit this either because that would mean that felons who have served their time, and I've been out since 2005, I haven't even had a traffic ticket. | ||
| I am a law-abiding citizen, technically. | ||
| So if they'd never stripped me of my citizenship, the Second Amendment says that citizens have basically the inalienable right of the Constitution, and the 2A says that citizens have the right to keep and bear arms, then why are my rights not restored if I'm a law-abiding citizen now? | ||
| And people go back and they'll say, oh, but you committed a crime. | ||
| You don't deserve your rights. | ||
| Hold on. You know, every gun law in the United States is based upon the safety and security of somebody, okay? | ||
| So if those are all based upon the safety and security of, you know, public safety or whatever, why don't they institute laws that stand my ground laws, make my day laws, where citizens can protect themselves? | ||
| Then, you know, these felons get shot dead. | ||
| They don't have to go to prison and get paid for by taxpayers, and they won't reoffend either because dead felons don't reoffend. | ||
| So that's just rude for thought, but you can look it up. | ||
| So in anybody's convictions, and you'll see that they don't take their citizenship. | ||
| Yet we're okay with taking somebody else's rights even after they've shown that they're willing that they get out, they don't reoffend, et cetera, et cetera. | ||
| I think it was Benjamin Franklin said that anybody who's willing to trade their liberties for safety and security deserves neither. | ||
| Well, what about people being willing to trade other people's liberties for their safety and security? | ||
| What does that say about them? | ||
| Yeah, we're weak as a nation. | ||
| We're weak as a people. | ||
| It's no wonder why our rights have been eroded so quickly. | ||
| Yeah, I agree with you. | ||
| And I think one of the sort of misconceptions that we have, at least I had growing up about just the nature of the United States and political revolution is you always think, okay, we've got a Second Amendment right, so if the government decides to turn against the people, we can exercise our right to abolish the government and establish a new one. | ||
| And you think about that. | ||
| On the surface, it sounds like everybody's just do-do-do-do-do, minding their own business, working their 9-to-5, coming home. | ||
| All of a sudden, the government crosses a line, and they say, oh, can't do that, and then they fight back. | ||
| That's not how this happens. | ||
| Here's what happens. | ||
| First, they begin taxing the hell out of you, and then you can't do things like pay your bills or your mortgage. | ||
| Or you fail to pay your taxes. | ||
| And then they press charges on you for things like tax evasion or other just sort of tertiary charges like, I don't know, maybe insurrection or participating in the wrong form of protest, right? | ||
| They get you in little ways, right? | ||
| Or they make sure they pull you over every single time that you're going 44 miles an hour in a 40 speed limit area. | ||
| And if you fail to pay the ticket, then they get you again for failing to pay a ticket. | ||
| And if you fail to pay that one, then they put out a warrant for your arrest, right? | ||
| And so what they do is they gradually erode you to the point where you're a second-class citizen. | ||
| And then once you're a second-class citizen, they say, oh, well, you've been convicted of XYZ, so you can't have a firearm, right? | ||
| And then if you say, well, I'm going to keep a firearm because I have the right to defend myself. | ||
| It's protected in the Second Amendment. | ||
| Then they get you for illegally possessing a firearm. | ||
| So this is what they do. | ||
| They push and they encroach and they encroach and then they just take over more and more of your life to the point where not only are three out of every five days that you're working, you're working for the government because of the amount of taxes that you pay, but the other two days you're in prison on work release. | ||
| Right? So they'll let you out to do work, but then they're going to lock you up. | ||
| And it's all because the government just wants to have complete control of your life and wants to encroach upon you. | ||
| There is not going to be an obvious moment in which, hey, we should probably have a revolution in this country because it's a slow burn. | ||
| They creep up on you. | ||
| There's no clear line as to when they've crossed it, as to when you know that you have to fight for your country. | ||
| That's why you always have to fight for it, because the enemy is always pushing against the front. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We haven't had to fight for our rights for, what, 100-plus years since they started eroding the Second Amendment only. | |
| Now it's the First Amendment. | ||
| Like the old saying about the World War II, everybody was basically silent until somebody came for them. | ||
| So how much longer are we going to continue to be silent while the rest of our rights are stripped away? | ||
| Because I can guarantee you this, my grandkids are not going to grow up in this country the way that it is. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. Our Fourth Amendment got totally hijacked, too, by the Patriot Act. | ||
| I mean, we haven't had any privacy or due process for at least two decades, if not longer than that. | ||
| And frankly, I speculate that the government was spying on U.S. citizens illegally for far longer than the establishment of the Patriot Act. | ||
| It just became sort of, you know, legalized through that process. | ||
| And they say that most of the Patriot Act expired now. | ||
| But you think the NSA just stopped spying on people because the Patriot Act expired? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, it's all still going on. | |
| It's nice and healthy for them to do what they're doing. | ||
| Their programs, I should say, are nice and healthy for their goals and not necessarily for ours. | ||
| You know, as for Owen, I wish him the best of luck. | ||
| I'll get paid on Friday. | ||
| I'm going to probably throw him like 20 bucks his way and throw him 20 towards Alex. | ||
| You know, it just is what it is. | ||
| But, yeah, just remember this. | ||
| You know, if people ain't going to start standing up and they ain't going to start standing up soon, Yeah, we're not going to have anything. | ||
| You know, the land of the free and the home of the brave will be a story that gets told to our kids as kids. | ||
| It's a fairy tale. Well, Todd, thank you so much for your call. | ||
| It's been an honor and a pleasure to have you on the American Journal. | ||
| Stay safe out there, brother. | ||
| Let's hear from Tim in Seattle. | ||
| Tim, we've got two minutes left of this segment. | ||
| What's going on? Tim, can you hear me? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I can hear you. Chase, great to hear from you. | |
| How frustrated are you, and how frustrated do you think America is considering the thing of Owen Schroer for his free speech? | ||
| I'm frustrated. They're super frustrated. | ||
| Yeah, I'm very frustrated. | ||
| It's hard for me to process because I just got the news, and I'm not very good at displaying how I feel about things for the first 20 minutes that I hear about them, but I'm very frustrated. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, totally. Well, let me run an idea by you. | |
| Now, nobody's going to go to a January 6th protest in D.C. again. | ||
| Nobody's going to travel to a city and get set up by the feds again. | ||
| Nobody will do that. I wouldn't do that. | ||
| Nobody should. Do anything to distract or derail our movement. | ||
| And another thing about this is it will build community. | ||
| It will strengthen our nation. | ||
| A Million Town March. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. So are you going to organize it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What's the website, man? I'm working on it. | |
| I'm doing a promo video right now, as a matter of fact, that I need... | ||
| I do not have the skill set that is required to push culture over the top to where we rise up, so I need everybody's help. | ||
| Okay, well, Tim, thank you for your call. | ||
| I do appreciate it. We do have to cut to break in just 20 seconds. | ||
| I want to remind everybody that we are going to be hearing from Owen at the beginning of the next hour, I believe at 11.06 a.m. | ||
| We're going to be hearing directly from Owen on The Alex Jones Show. | ||
| Harrison Smith is guest hosting for Alex the first hour. | ||
| Alex will be on after that. Make sure you stay tuned. | ||
| Visit InfoWarsStore.com and don't miss The Alex Jones Show where we will hear from Owen regarding his sentencing news. | ||
| Coffee has not been available at InfoWarsStore.com for two years because the price went up too high and the quality was starting to go down. | ||
| I turned out so many other producers that wanted to partner with us. | ||
| But when the folks at Miniman came to me a year ago and I began to try their coffees, I was blown away. | ||
| We finally have three great coffees that are the best I have to offer available to you right now. | ||
| This is the best coffee I've ever tasted. | ||
| It smells amazing and it's some of the strongest coffee I've ever drank. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, These three single-source Colombian coffees are now available at Infowarsstore.com exclusively. | ||
| Escape the Prison Planet Light Roast. | ||
| Tastes great. It's the strong one. | ||
| Really strong. But these are all close second and thirds. | ||
| Medium Roast. Wake up America. | ||
| Woo! That's what my go-to. | ||
| Dark Roast, tip of the spear, tastes the best and is amazing and is still very, very strong. |
