| Ladies and gentlemen, the Democratic Party just stole the 2024 the Democratic Party just stole the 2024 election long before the polls opened. | ||
| The Supreme Court of Colorado, in a 4-3 decision, without Trump ever being convicted of January 6th or any of that other garbage, Just said Trump is off the ballot in the primary, so you can't vote for him to be president. | ||
| And they say other states will follow. | ||
| We've seen Jack Smith in the politically motivated operations. | ||
| We've seen trials in New York without juries against Trump. | ||
| This is criminal activity in front of everyone. | ||
| This is the oligarchy that's hijacked our country, setting up a totalitarian dictatorship in our face. | ||
| The Supreme Court must act quickly to overturn this. | ||
| But you see the incredible pressure going on against the U.S. Supreme Court right now by the media, the attacks on Clarence Thomas and more. | ||
| This is a dark day for our republic. | ||
| They're making their move. | ||
| When all these indictments of Trump blew up in their face and made his approval rating go up even higher, 10, 15 points about Biden, they didn't stop. | ||
| So now they're moving. | ||
| And have been successful in Colorado to take him off the ballot so you can't vote for him. | ||
| The definition of stealing an election. | ||
| We'll be covering this all live tomorrow at 11 a.m. | ||
| Central on the Alex Jones Show at InfoWars.com forward slash show. | ||
| You can follow us right here at X. But this is... | ||
| Incredible. And look, it shows what tyrants do throughout history. | ||
| When they're cornered, when a bureaucracy, when a coup is exposed, it digs in and it goes for broke. | ||
| And this has happened right now. | ||
| Remember, they've indicted him. | ||
| Federally for saying the election was stolen in 2020 when there's massive evidence. | ||
| But regardless of the way you think about that evidence, this is open election meddling. | ||
| This is saying you can't vote for who you want to. | ||
| And they just did it last year in Brazil when Bolsonaro questioned the election. | ||
| The State Department went down there and got their government to pass a law saying Bolsonaro can't run for president either. | ||
| That's what they're doing. They're telling you who you can and can't vote for. | ||
| Infowars.com, tomorrow's news today. | ||
| The tyrants are up in your grill, but the good news is humanity's awakened and it's not going along with us. | ||
| But 2024, just days away, is going to be spectacularly crazy. | ||
| As Dorothy says in The Wizard of Oz, Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore. | ||

While other networks lie to you about what's happening now, InfoWars tells you the truth about what's happening next. | |
| Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| This is the American Journal. | ||
| That is the latest from Alex Jones. | ||
| You can find that exclusively on X at RealAlexJones. | ||
| We have a lot to cover today. That is going to be our top story. | ||
| Of course, Trump being kicked off of the Colorado ballot. | ||
| Or is he? What does that really mean? | ||
| And we'll look at some of the reactions from across the political spectrum. | ||
| Of course, it's the last show we'll be doing before Christmas. | ||
| And somebody in a big red suit left me a present here. | ||
| And I was told from some elves that I should open it on air. | ||
| So we're going to do that right now. | ||
| I hope this isn't anything embarrassing, Santa. | ||
| Santa in the control room. | ||
| It's something. | ||
| It certainly is something. | ||
| Oh, wow, beautiful. | ||
| It's the abolition of man. | ||
| Wow, that is a beautiful book. | ||
| The abolition of man. | ||
| We'll have to read some excerpts from this. | ||
| C.S. Lewis. Is this a C.S. Lewis book, or is this an experiment in four parts? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ooh. Whoa, it's a creepy graphic book. | |
| It's an AI comic book? | ||
| That's what this is? That hardback cover is furnished in human flesh. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? That's right. | |
| That's the least Christmas spirit gift I've ever got. | ||
| No, this is crazy. | ||
| Guess how many foreskins went into that one? | ||
| The world's first AI-illustrated comic returns in a deluxe hardcover edition. | ||
| Well, thank you, Santa, whoever you are. | ||
| I mean, Santa is real. Santa is real, and that's the position of this network, and we will not deviate from that solid truth. | ||

|
We'll be right back. It's Wednesday, December 20th, year of our Lord 2023. | |
| And you're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
| Watch it live right now at band.video. | ||
| I think it's time to blow this thing back. | ||
| Alright, welcome back. Ladies and gentlemen, this is The American Journal, Infowars.com, band.video. | ||
| This will be our last live broadcast before Christmas, so let's make it a good one. | ||
| We have a lot to talk about. | ||
| This is where we go on a slightly extended break. | ||
| Hopefully nothing big happens in the next five days or so. | ||
| We'll see. We'll see about that. | ||
| I hope everybody is doing well. | ||
| We have a big show for you today. | ||
| Lots of videos to get to. Of course, the main topic will be this decision by the Supreme Court in Colorado to remove Trump from the ballot. | ||
| Is it legal? | ||
| That's debatable. Is it moral? | ||
| Absolutely not. And we'll look at reactions from across the political spectrum. | ||
| Some very admirable responses and some very typical, predictable, and despicable responses as well. | ||
| I think today would be a very good day for Donald Trump to get back on Twitter. | ||
| I know whenever he does, it's going to be a huge deal. | ||
| But honestly, he's missing out on so much. | ||
| I mean, does he know what spaces are? | ||
| Does he know what Twitter spaces is? | ||
| Does he realize he could be holding a roundtable? | ||
| Where literally everybody with a Twitter account will be scrambling to try to get in, and he'll be able to pick and choose who to bring up and who to talk to. | ||
| And you could have, because as soon as Trump gets on, I mean, obviously there are a lot of politicians that are already involved in this sort of stuff, right? | ||
| Matt Gaetz jumped on with Elon Musk and Alex Jones. | ||
| I mean, today would be, it'd be a great day. | ||
| It'd be a great day, Trump. | ||
| Be a great day for Donald Trump. | ||
| Tweet out, I'll be on Spaces in one hour. | ||
| Hope to see you there. It'll be the biggest ever. | ||
| Elon Musk will jump on. | ||
| I'm sure Vivek and Matt Gaetz, I'm sure anybody in the political sphere will drop whatever they're doing to hop on Spaces. | ||
| You can sit there and hold a roundtable on Twitter. | ||
| It would be monumental. | ||
| I don't know why he's not taking advantage of The new Twitter ownership and he should just be dominating the media landscape like he was in 2016. | ||
| What is he doing? | ||
| Oh right, going from courthouse to courthouse, being sued and charged in a variety of entirely spurious legal proceedings. | ||
| That's what he's actually doing. | ||
| It'd be a good day, Trump, for you to hop onto it. | ||
| If anybody's listening to this, know somebody who knows Trump. | ||
| Maybe tell him to hop on Twitter. | ||
| Maybe today's the day. | ||
| But we'll see. So yeah, lots to cover. | ||
| I think Chase Geiser is going to be joining us in the third hour. | ||
| We'll take your phone calls with Chase if he shows up. | ||
| I don't know. I asked him yesterday. | ||
| He said yes. And we'll see if he's able to carve out some time to come on. | ||
| Either way, we'll take your phone calls, show you lots of videos, lots of reports to get to. | ||
| So let's just jump into it. | ||
| it here it is your daily dispatch all right here is folks Your Daily Dispatch for Wednesday, the 20th of December, 2023. | ||
| Trump is disqualified from the 2024 ballot, Colorado court says, in an explosive ruling. | ||
| This, of course, is a deeply dishonest way to report it, using words that seem to express some sort of authority. | ||
| Disqualified. It has sort of a depersonalized feel to it, as if it's just something that happened that everybody has to deal with. | ||
| But it's not. It's not. | ||
| And we'll get into exactly what this means and, of course, all the responses to it. | ||
| Here later in the show, the way the New York Times reports it, is this. | ||
| The decision, the first by a court to find that Donald Trump is ineligible to hold office again because he engaged in insurrection, is likely to put a monumental case before the U.S. Supreme Court. | ||
| Colorado's top court on Tuesday... | ||
| Ruled on Tuesday that former President Donald J. Trump is disqualified from holding office again because he engaged in insurrection with his action leading up to the January 6th storming of the Capitol, an explosive ruling that is likely to put the basic contours of the 2024 election in the hands of the U.S. Supreme Court. | ||
| And of course, aside from the claims of the election being stolen, aside from the claims of January 6th being an insurrection, all of these things, totally baseless nonsense, obviously. | ||
| But aside from all of that, At the very least, this is a trial without a defense. | ||
| This is a conviction without a trial, really. | ||
| This is a legal proceeding and a legal punishment being levied on somebody who was not given a chance to defend themselves, was not charged with the crime that they're now being punished with. | ||
| It's just punishment by dictate. | ||
| It's a conviction by By assertion. | ||
| They're just saying, we think you're guilty of this, so we're going to punish you. | ||
| You don't get a chance to defend yourself. | ||
| At least they held show trials for January 6th. | ||
| So this is like a step beyond that. | ||
| And of course we know from Letitia James' statement, they rigged the court case in New York for coming out and saying, like, we'd already decided he was guilty before it ever went to the... | ||
| Like, me and the judge, we decided he was guilty already. | ||
| So now we're going through the procedure to make it look like we're having a fair trial, but we already decided. | ||
| So this is just the absolute destruction of the rule of law completely. | ||
| Again, we'll get into it a lot later, so I'll keep my powder dry for now. | ||
| But from Greg Price, here's a little... | ||
| Ray of hope for you. The Colorado decision removing Trump from the ballot is so absurd that the justices stayed their own ruling until January 4th. | ||
| And if Trump appeals to the Supreme Court before then, which he will, his name will continue to appear on the ballot unless SCOTUS rules otherwise. | ||
| So it appears as though he will actually still be on the ballot. | ||
| That being said, this is still an egregious violation of Of our sacred democracy. | ||
| Oh the sacred democracy that we must protect. | ||
| Again we'll get into it. | ||
| We'll get into it a little bit later. | ||
| Stay tuned for that. Meanwhile, California allows wastewater to be recycled into drinking water. | ||
| Yes, folks, California officials on Tuesday voted to allow wastewater from showers and toilets to be purified into drinking water as the state braces for years of drought-induced shortages. | ||
| And by drought-induced shortages, what they mean is that they're allowing corporations to water endless acres of almond plants and olive groves While simultaneously pouring by the millions of gallons water, fresh water into the sea for no particular reason. | ||
| It's mismanagement. It's not drought. | ||
| There's water in abundance in California. | ||
| It's just not being used right. | ||
| So now Californians, I guess... | ||
| I guess they've gotten used to the poop everywhere on the streets, and now they actually want to imbibe it themselves. | ||
| It's just like a drug. | ||
| It's like once you're exposed to enough human feces, that exposure doesn't do the trick, and you need more. | ||
| You need more and more and more. | ||
| So now it's on the roads. | ||
| Now it's in the air. Now it's actually going to be in your drinking water as Californians prepare to literally drink poop water. | ||
| It's the 21st century. | ||
| Meanwhile, Israel offers new deal to Hamas. | ||
| Israel is ready to briefly halt its military operation in Gaza Strip if the militant group Hamas releases more hostages. | ||
| Axios and multiple Israeli media reported on Tuesday, citing officials and sources with knowledge of ongoing negotiations. | ||
| The proposal was delivered through Qatari mediators and reportedly envisages a seven-day-long ceasefire in exchange for the release of up to 40 women, elderly, and sick people, according to Channel 12. | ||
| Hamas requested a complete cessation of hostilities, but according to the broadcaster, the demand is unacceptable to the Israeli leadership, which had vowed to continue the war until a Palestinian militant group is neutralized, or until everyone's dead. | ||
| Yeah, whichever. Meanwhile, U.S. court orders release of 180 Epstein-linked names. | ||
| A federal judge in New York has ruled to unseal the document that contains the identifying information of an estimated 180 people connected in some manner to Jeffrey Epstein. | ||
| The convicted pedophile died in 2019 in a New York jail, and the documents are related to the case that put him there. | ||
| So this is still not even really a large percentage of the names in the list, but 180 names. | ||
| We'll see. We'll see about that, and we'll talk a little bit more about it later. | ||
| Finally, we have this. U.S. illegal border crossings reach all-time high with over 14,000 in a single day. | ||
| This will be another big topic we'll discuss today as the invasion is reaching almost comical levels. | ||
| It's almost funny, except it's the destruction of our nation. | ||
| All right, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| What a ridiculous charade we're all being forced in one way or another to participate in. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Jingle bells chime in, jingle bells chime in. | |
| Honestly, I just have to laugh. | ||
| I just have to laugh at it at this point. | ||
| Especially, you know, often we try to start the show on a little bit of a lighter note. | ||
| You know, I know people are just waking up. | ||
| Nobody wants to... Nobody wants to wake up to the reality of the world this early in the morning. | ||
| So we try to ease ourselves into it. | ||
| And usually we have some just embarrassing collapse of Biden in one way or another. | ||
| Whether it's a literal physical collapse or a mental collapse or, you know, something that just reminds us the reality that we're... | ||
| We're in the year 2023. | ||
| United States, still the most powerful country in the history of the world. | ||
| And it's being run by just an incompetent mess. | ||
| I mean, he's just a mess. | ||
| Again, it's just crazy to just remember what the world was like when Donald Trump was president. | ||
| He was out there just... | ||
| Just killing it. Just firing on every cylinder, just every day in front of the cameras, every day being very public about what exactly he was doing, goals he was trying to accomplish, just constant nitpicking about every single little thing that he did. | ||
| But he'd get up in front of the cameras, in front of the media, and just go toe-to-toe with them while they're simultaneously saying, he has dementia, like just coming up with all this crap. | ||
| Biden, it's like, If Biden died a month ago, would we know? | ||
| Would anybody care? | ||
| Does he do anything? | ||
| Have we seen him recently do anything? | ||
| Occasionally he hobbles across the White House lawn to like yell something at somebody from like 50 yards away while his handlers hurry to rush him away from everybody. | ||
| It's just like, it's just a night and day difference. | ||
| And we wouldn't even know. I mean, literally, if Biden just sat in the Darth Vader, you know, gas tank for 23 hours a day, nobody would know. | ||
| Like, it would be fine. | ||
| Be fine. Everything would just continue on and just like, what is he doing? | ||
| What is he doing? What is Biden doing these days? | ||
| Anybody know? I mean, for a couple months, he was just laying on the beach like a jellyfish. | ||
| I mean... What's he doing now? | ||
| Anybody know? Anybody care? | ||
| Does it matter that we are in a country that's being run by a non-entity? | ||
| And that's just the first layer, you know, and then you're talking about the American society. | ||
| You're peeling onions. | ||
| You're peeling the layers of an onion and after each peel underneath it, well, it's a cackling imbecile named Kamala Harris. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| And again, she's like, what is this? | ||
| What have they done to us? | ||
| How is this real life? | ||
| Honestly, how is this real life? | ||
| Joe Biden, the brain-dead, walking zombie amphetamine commercial, And Kamala Harris, just the dumbest broad in politics. | ||
| And they're the leaders of our country. | ||
| Ostensibly, right? The real leaders are the unelected, permanent bureaucrats that none of us ever voted for and yet have been setting our policy and speaking on behalf of America for the last several decades. | ||
| Victoria Nuland, Anthony Blinken, these types of people. | ||
| They're the ones actually running the country because it's not actually a democracy because we don't actually have a say in what our country does. | ||
| We vote for the The shells, we vote for the flesh pods that they parade in front of us to distract and infuriate us. | ||
| While behind the scenes, the hyper-vigilant, hyper-capable, hyper-evil, unelected bureaucrats are just running everything with complete, almost like abject disdain for the goodwill of the American people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All this is to say... | |
| We have some videos again to show you, not of Joe Biden this time, but of Kamala Harris. | ||
| And it's hard to even understand what she's saying. | ||
| Clip number 11 here. | ||
| This is Kamala Harris. | ||
| She's trying to say something, certainly, and we'll try to figure out what that is. | ||
| Let's watch. You know, every election cycle we talk about this is the most election of our lifetime. | ||
| Lawrence, this one is. | ||
| It really is. This one is. | ||
| It's the most election. We are literally talking about... | ||
| People who are attempting to divide our country in the most crude, frankly, and profound way. | ||
| Crude and profound. | ||
| You're talking about those who are intent and purposeful to attack fundamental freedoms, be it the freedom to make a decision about your own body, the freedom to love and love. | ||
| Words are coming out of her mouth. In her brain, she's just like, I'm killing this. | ||
| I sound like I know exactly what I'm talking about. | ||
| Violence and hate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. The freedom to just be. | |
| Freedom to just be. | ||
| Wow. You know, a lot of people make jokes where it's like, here's Kamala Harris's speechwriter and it's like a preschooler. | ||
| I think her speechwriter is more like the advertising agency that like Monsanto hires to make those ads that just make no sense. | ||
| Where it's just like a bunch of Puerto Rican teens like twerking under a overpass and the voiceover is just like, we are the generation that's going to change the world. | ||
| It's just like a Monsanto logo at the end and you're like, what did I just watch? | ||
| What is this? That's the feeling I get. | ||
| Like McDonald's, whoever writes the ads for McDonald's where they try to make, you know, eating pink slime... | ||
| Chicken nugget gruel that they charge you $6 for is somehow a revolutionary act of, you know, resistance against a fascist government. | ||
| You know, it's just like the nugget, oh, the nuggets, right? | ||
| Yeah. You know, it's less of a preschool and more of just like, if I put enough emotion... | ||
| Into the nonsense that I'm saying. | ||
| It sounds profound. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hate. Love. | |
| Good, bad. This is the most election of our lifetime. | ||
| Out of all of the election, this won the most. | ||
| Dennis Reynolds, speechwriter. | ||
| Incredible. So that's Kamala Harris with a very powerful statement about how this is the most election of our lifetime. | ||
| How can you disagree? | ||
| How can you disagree? | ||
| I think there's another one on here, isn't there? | ||
| Alright, let's go to nine. | ||
| Alright, we'll go to nine. | ||
| What is Kamala Harris up to? | ||
| What is she actually doing these days? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's watch. Hey everyone, so I have some news. | |
| We're heading back out on the road. | ||
| This time we are going to start our fight for our reproductive freedoms tour. | ||
| We're going to start in Wisconsin. | ||
| We're going to be organizing. | ||
| We're going to be gathering. | ||
| We're going to be building coalition and community to fight for reproductive freedom. | ||
| There is a full-on attack in our country against the ability of people to just make decisions about their own body and their life. | ||
| So join me. | ||
| I will see you soon. | ||
| And take care. | ||
| So that's what Kamala Harris is doing. | ||
| She's doing a cross-country tour in defense of Reproductive, in offense of abortion. | ||
| I mean, honestly, this G Prime comic, we'll show you on the other side, it just encapsulates everything about Kamala Harris. | ||
| And we'll get into the Donald Trump Colorado thing. | ||
| We just want to ease into it here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think we were tricked by the past. | |
| I think that's what happened. I think the 1930s, 40s, and even later in that, it convinced us that Tyranny had this hyper-capable, you expect a dude in a military uniform, clean-cut. | ||
| It's scary how intelligent he is, and he's just forcing you to do things. | ||
| When in reality, the tyranny that we're experiencing is just this hodgepodge mix of people who are incapable and people who are hypercapable but super evil and behind the scenes. | ||
| You don't even know who they are. | ||
| And instead of a singular dictator that's ordering everything from on top, the people technically on top are just bumbling idiots that are just constantly embroiled in some nonsense cause that nobody even cares about. | ||
| While the people underneath them, technically, but actually running things, are just carrying out these diffuse kind of missions that infiltrate the Justice Department from every level. | ||
| It's just this like weird kind of hive mind tyranny that we're dealing with. | ||
| That it almost makes sense why just the average person just can't even figure it out. | ||
| They're just like, we're being tyrannized? | ||
| What? There's like, but Joe Biden's laying on a beach. | ||
| How can he be tyrannizing us? | ||
| How can we be tyrannized by a guy who gets ordered around by the Easter Bunny? | ||
| This doesn't make any sense. We're not being, we're not being, he's not a dictator. | ||
| How can he be a dictator? | ||
| The only thing that he's done in the last month was release some sort of racist version of the nutcracker. | ||
| Like, he's not tyrannizing us. | ||
| So it's this weird, diffuse kind of tyranny that we're dealing with that is Frankly, kind of insulting. | ||
| I would honestly be happier with some Nazi or some Joseph Stalin-style communist just like kicking your door down and dragging off your neighbors like, wow, this is tyranny. | ||
| This is the real deal. I can see this and I recognize it. | ||
| Instead, we have this smiling, gleaming, retarded tyranny. | ||
| They're just like, We are focused completely on making sure to defend your right to kill your baby. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just like the economy is crashing. | |
| You're starting wars across the world. | ||
| This is the crazy thing. | ||
| Show the video in the last one. | ||
| Kamala Harris announces nationwide reproductive freedoms tour that will kick off in Wisconsin. | ||
| We are on the cusp of World War III. The Ukraine war has killed hundreds of thousands of people and continues to spiral and dwindle into just this festering open sore of human misery. | ||
| You've got shipping being shut down through the Suez Canal. | ||
| As there's yet another axis of evil and coalition of the willing getting together and gearing up for the third in the trilogy of Mideast wars that are incredibly and entirely detrimental to all of our national interest. | ||
| You've got an ongoing slaughter in Gaza, killing tens of thousands of children in an unrelenting campaign of bombing. | ||
| You've got an open border with 15,000 people crossing in a single day, and those are just the ones that are being processed as tens of millions of people from all over the world are funneled into our country in complete violation of all of our laws. | ||
| The economy is the worst it's been in my lifetime with people unable to afford basic groceries dipping into their savings to deal with the most routine emergencies. | ||
| People unable to afford houses. | ||
| It's just everything is collapsing. | ||
| And this shrieking harpy is going around trying to make it easier for people to kill their babies. | ||
| Like, that's their focus. That's their priorities. | ||
| That's what they're doing. | ||
| How everybody isn't just insulted by this is beyond me. | ||
| Across our nation, there's a full-on attack on a woman's fundamental right to make decisions about her own body, Harris wrote on a post on X. Just missiles going into hospitals. | ||
| Just rebel pirates storming onto shipping lanes and... | ||
| Killing the crew. Ukrainian 45-year-olds being grabbed by the conscription officers and shoved into a uniform to go die in the meat grinder on the front lines. | ||
| In the new year, I'll be traveling the country to organize, build community, and fight back. | ||
| Just murder rates skyrocketing. | ||
| Murderers let out of prison just roaming the streets. | ||
| Gunning down innocent family men. | ||
| Because when we fight, we win. | ||
| Just ripping babies out of the womb. | ||
| Leaving them to die cold on a hospital floor. | ||
| It's just, it's sickening. | ||
| All of this is just so gut-wrenchingly disgusting. | ||
| Everything they do. And again, this comic that I talked about, it really sums it all up. | ||
| It's from back when, on Memorial Day. | ||
| Kamala Harris' only note was, enjoy the long weekend! | ||
| Do y'all have a long weekend, you guys. | ||
| From G Prime 85, George Alexopoulos. | ||
| He's a little kid whose father, you know, joined the military, signed up to be in service, do his patriotic duty, gave his life. | ||
| Now poor kid is stuck with the responsibility of growing up Alone, clutching the flag that represents the thing he died for. | ||
| And here comes Kamala Harris stepping in. | ||
| Enjoy the long weekend! Enjoy the long weekend, you guys! | ||
| And of course, Joe Biden just eating ice cream cone like a diseased skeleton in the background. | ||
| It really sums it all up. | ||
| Sums it all up. So we'll move on. | ||
| But, you know, I feel like with all the stuff, with all the removing from the ballot and the trials and the imprisoning journalists and the just complete dismantling of our entire sacred way of life, like it's sort of embodied all, | ||
| I think, in the fact that Kamala Harris, the last place Democratic primary leader, Contender who was kicked out of the race almost before it even began, humiliated on the debate stage, rejected entirely by the collective will of the Democratic voters, | ||
| and yet appointed to the vice presidency spot where she has languished an abysmal failure ever since, and now she's traveling around the country to make sure you can kill your babies. | ||
| Because they have to pretend that they're the victims. | ||
| They have to pretend they're fighting against something. | ||
| They have to pretend that they're standing up for rights of some sort as a distraction from everything that actually matters and is actually going on. | ||
| So I put together this little collage yesterday talking about our democracy because it's not just America where this is happening. | ||
| It is, in fact, around the Western world. | ||
| Of course, the story from America, Colorado Supreme Court disqualifies Trump from state's 2024 ballot under the U.S. Constitution's insurrection clause, despite the Senate acquitting Trump of the charge of inciting an insurrection. | ||
| This is our democracy. | ||
| Not only is this obvious election rigging, obvious political gamesmanship in order to subvert the will of the American people, But it would be wrong even if it was just a private citizen. | ||
| You get charged with something. | ||
| You go to trial. You defend yourself against it. | ||
| You get acquitted of those charges only to have some judge that you never got to present a case to decide actually you were guilty the whole time and you're going to be punished for it. | ||
| It's not just a subversion and the undermining of our Constitution, constitutional rights to actually have a government by the people for the people. | ||
| But it's just a blatant violation of just legal process in general. | ||
| But to save our democracy. | ||
| If we have to get rid of elections to save our democracy, we'll do it. | ||
| If we have to jail journalists and destroy free speech to save democracy, we'll do it. | ||
| If we have to be authoritarian to save democracy, we'll do it. | ||
| We have to defend democracy, you guys. | ||
| They keep telling us that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
In fact, they won't shut up about it. | |
| Everything they're doing is, of course, to defend our democracy. | ||
| Mail-in balloting, completely undermining the legitimacy of the elections, that's to save democracy. | ||
| We have to imprison journalists and throw peaceful protesters in prison for decades to save democracy, to get rid of voting, potentially, to save democracy. | ||
| We, at the very least, have to have obscure, bureaucratic pyramid structures Throughout the country, destroy the leading presidential candidate so that you can't vote for him, you know, to save democracy. | ||
| We know how important this is because they're willing to send us to war to save our sacred democracy, and not just here, but around the world. | ||
| Again, beyond the political implications of this, the mere double jeopardy being instituted here, Would alone make this charge wrong, bad, not legitimate. | ||
| In 2021, the U.S. Senate charged Donald Trump with insurrection. | ||
| Citing an insurrection, he was acquitted. | ||
| And as rigged and nonsensical as that whole dog and pony show was, he at least got to present a case for his defense. | ||
| It's like, that might be like the bedrock thing that our entire society is built on. | ||
| Jury of your peers, the right to face your accusers, the right to present a defense and hear the charges against you. | ||
| Out of anything from the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, that might be the bedrock, not just American government foundation, but like Western society as a whole. | ||
| Has been a very long and drawn out. | ||
| Trial and error session getting us to the point. | ||
| Where you can't just have secret trials for people imprisoned without being able to face their accusers, not even knowing the crime that they're being in prison for. | ||
| If you want to pick the one dead rock of freedom, it's the right to trial of a jury of your peers. | ||
| Unbiased strangers who ostensibly, and they take an oath, To look at the evidence in a completely dispassionate way and come to the truth of the matter regardless of who it is that's being charged or what they're being charged with. | ||
| All that matters is that both sides are able to present a case and an unbiased jury of regular citizens gets to decide. | ||
| That is the bedrock foundational concept behind all of Western civilization, honestly. | ||
| And it's the one thing that gets eliminated when tyranny comes to pass. | ||
| That's the thing that the Nazis and the communists and tyrants anywhere in the world, that's the thing they get rid of. | ||
| They say, we accuse you of something and you're guilty. | ||
| You go to jail. You don't have a right to protest. | ||
| You don't have a right to present your case. | ||
| Trial by dictate. That's what we're entering into. | ||
| That is what's happening here. | ||
| Again, just to illustrate where our democracy is. | ||
| Our wonderful... | ||
| Yeah, that's a great... | ||
| Biden and Trump, that's kind of hard to... | ||
| That's kind of hard to choose. | ||
| You have a choice. They are still giving you a choice. | ||
| It's just between Biden or not Biden. | ||
| And not Biden... | ||
| It's really just sort of a symbolic option. | ||
| So again, these are the contradictions of our... | ||
| Our democracy, trademarked. | ||
| Senate acquits Trump in impeachment trial, only to have the Colorado Supreme Court decide he is in fact guilty of insurrection, and is therefore being removed from the ballot. | ||
| In other words, they are doling out to him the punishment for the crime of which he was tried and acquitted. | ||
| Again, not just in America. | ||
| Democracy, of course, means the will of the majority. | ||
| It means what the people want, the people get. | ||
| Unless, of course, what the people want is at odds with what the elite want. | ||
| See, if those that run the media and run politics can't psyop you into voting in favor of your own destruction, they'll just implement it anyway. | ||
| If what the majority wants is in line with what they want, then it's all about democracy. | ||
| It's the will of the people. | ||
| That's why we do this. We have a mandate from the people. | ||
| They want it. The majority of the people want this. | ||
| We have no choice but to implement it. | ||
| Then in other cases, like in Ireland, when nationwide reputable polls come out showing that 75% of people in Ireland think that Ireland has taken in too many asylum seekers, And when it rolled back, | ||
| with only 19% of people saying, actually, we could use more, well, suddenly the will of the majority comes second to the will of those in power, as Irish Justice Minister Helen McEntee insists high levels of immigration will continue. | ||
| 75% of her population says they don't want more immigration. | ||
| She says, too bad, you're getting more immigration. | ||
| Whether you like it or not, this is our democracy. | ||
| The majority gets what they want if it's in line with the designs of the elite. | ||
| If it's not, then the elites get what they want anyway. | ||
| With or without your manufactured consent. | ||
| Just like in Germany, where you have these headlines, one immediately after the other. | ||
| Germany's far-right party now pulls higher than the three parties in government. | ||
| Followed immediately by, Germany is thinking of simply banning the far-right. | ||
| As radical conservatives continue to rise, Germany's mainstream is desperate for a fix. | ||
| See when an idea is so popular, you have to ban it. | ||
| That's democracy, right? When a political party gets so popular that it's pulling higher than everybody else, well that's when you get the spy state to call it a domestic terrorist group and ban it outright from representation. | ||
| The state of our democracy. | ||
| This is our democracy that we're fighting for. | ||
| I don't just mean fighting in the information war. | ||
| What about the real war that is going on for our democracy? | ||
| After all, we have to stand up against big bad Putin, who ironically impersons less journalists than America or the UK does by like a factor of 10. | ||
| Kind of weird, isn't it? The tyrannical authoritarian dictator that we're supposed to fear like the next coming of Hitler is less oppressive than the democracies that he's fighting. | ||
| Especially when you have articles like this. | ||
| Zelensky will not hold Ukrainian elections without financial support from the U.S.E.U. Give him money or you don't get to vote. | ||
| He'll just remain in power forever until he gets what he wants. | ||
| To defend democracy... | ||
| You ban the most popular party. | ||
| To defend democracy, you do the thing that the vast majority, the super majority, 75% of your population is not in favor of. | ||
| You do it anyway. To defend democracy, you kick the most popular dissident politician off the ballot by fiat at the Supreme Court level. | ||
| To defend democracy, You cancel elections and throw journalists in prison. | ||
| That's not the only place this is happening. | ||
| Of course, in the Ukraine war, Poland has been a major and important ally. | ||
| And today, Polish public media chiefs were dismissed. | ||
| News Channel stops broadcasting. | ||
| The management of Polish public television radio and news agency PAP have been dismissed, the culture minister said on Wednesday, as one public news channel that critics have said become politicized under the previous government went off air. | ||
| Yeah, they sent in police to the main opposition news channel and shut it down and fired all of the operators. | ||
| You know, our democracy. To preserve our democracy... | ||
| You have to send the Gestapo in to shut down the media broadcast that question you, you know, to defend democracy. | ||
| So we'll focus on what's happening with Donald Trump in Colorado in the next hour. | ||
| I just want to point out that this isn't something that's happening in America. | ||
| It's happening in every European country, all throughout the Western world. | ||
| These systems, these governments, which over literally centuries through trial and error, through revolution and suppression, worked their way towards some semblance of fairness, some semblance of what you call democracy in the most beneficent way, most beneficent light. | ||
| The idea that the people are not subject to the Capricious whims of some unelected nobility. | ||
| We've strived and fought our way out of the mire of tyranny and despotism, and now we're being dragged back into it. | ||
| Those things that are upholding our house above the swamp are being knocked down one by one. | ||
| Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
|

|
Let's talk about Colorado, shall we? | |
| I'm seeing images of that volcano eruption. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know, man. | |
| I mean, honestly, when you just think about everything that's going on, I guess it's like looking at Rome during the fall or something, where you just think about this as a historian, and it's like... | ||
|
unidentified
|
I like her. | |
| alright, the economy is going terribly. | ||
| No shortage, the number of stories of the skyrocketing price of houses and people dipping into their retirement or their savings to deal with, you know, a thousand dollar expense to get their car fixed or something and they're going into bankruptcy and just the wars and the chaos and strife and the misery and the You know, | ||
| just like massive murder rates and the shoplifting gangs that are forcing businesses to shut down, leaving entire downtowns completely vacant, like in San Francisco, where they have entire buildings with no tenants because crime rates are out of control and the streets are covered in poop, and now they're drinking the poop water coming out of their sinks. | ||
| And you just think about a historian looking back on this and going, what was the government doing at the time? | ||
| It's like, well, let's take a look at what they've done. | ||
| They declared a transgender day of remembrance. | ||
| So there's that. | ||
| They did a parade route about abortion, about killing babies. | ||
| So there's that. Had a man dressed like a woman take her shirt off in front of the White House. | ||
| They did that. | ||
| It's like at least... At least Tiberius had the decency to go to a little island, you know, to do his degeneracy. | ||
| He didn't bring it back to Rome. | ||
| And you just think about, you know, we're just showing the images of the volcano and it's just like... | ||
| When they want something, they get it, right? | ||
| I mean, they want... | ||
| They want to shut up right-wingers on the internet. | ||
| They get it. They're censored. | ||
| They're destroyed. Child pornography, that's everywhere, apparently. | ||
| 70 million images in a single year. | ||
| That just keeps going. | ||
| They can't stop that, apparently. | ||
| If they want you to eat bugs, they'll get it. | ||
| They'll get you eating bugs. | ||
| They will take your car away. | ||
| They will take your gas oven away. | ||
| They'll do it. I mean, there's no lack of ability or competency in America. | ||
| It's just entirely dedicated to ridiculous bullcrap. | ||
| I just, I don't even, I don't even want to talk about the Trump Colorado thing. | ||
| Because it's just, what is there to say about it? | ||
| What is there to say about it? | ||
| Here's what I'll say about it. This is not a test for Patriots. | ||
| This is not a test for conservatives. | ||
| This is like an easy answer for us. | ||
| It's like a Scantron, but the only answer available is A. You just bubble in A. We just know what's going on. | ||
| It's just obvious. This is a test for For all of the Trump haters out there, this is a test that they're subjecting you to because they want to know, have they brainwashed you enough? | ||
| Are you so far gone that you cannot recognize a blatant attack on your most fundamental rights as Americans? | ||
| Is your view of American politics so warped? | ||
| Have they... Insinuated into your mind such a vicious and illogical hatred of Trump that you're going to go along with your disenfranchisement. | ||
| You're going to allow an unelected body to remove a presidential candidate from the ballot on entirely spurious claims. | ||
| Are you that gone or not? | ||
| Welcome back, folks. | ||
| The second hour is on American Journal. | ||
| It's live broadcast Wednesday, December 20th. | ||

I just... | |
| We'll get into it. We'll get into the Trump Colorado ballot thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I just... | |
| Tell me when you get that video in, because... | ||
| Alright. This video sort of explains why... | ||
| I don't even want to get into it. | ||
| Like, it's... | ||
| It's too much. | ||
| Honestly, it's too much. I, like, I literally can't handle... | ||
| The state that we're in right now. | ||
| Because I'm not going to call for violence. | ||
| I am certainly thinking about violence a lot. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| It's like, what are you supposed to do with these people? | ||
| Let's watch the video. You tell me. | ||
| How are you supposed to talk to this person? | ||
| Okay? This is Mara Gay on... | ||
| The NBC morning show. | ||
| She's from the New York Times editorial board. | ||
| This is the editorial board of the New York Times. | ||
| This is our newspaper of record. | ||
| It's one of the most storied and celebrated publications of all time. | ||
| She's on the editorial board. | ||
| We're talking about very serious topics. | ||
| We're talking about Donald Trump. | ||
| The leader of the Republican Party, who is being charged with dozens of entirely fabricated charges, all orchestrated, coordinated, and puppeteered by the current ruling regime and their attack dogs in the DOJ. And if we could talk about this sensibly, we could probably... | ||
| Both sides would understand what an outrageous precedent this would be setting. | ||
| But instead, we're dealing with people like this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's watch. To the Republican candidate's argument that this should be, the voters should have the say and not the courts. | |
| Why are you standing with Confederates who betrayed this country? | ||
| And this is what they're standing with, is the spirit Of those Confederates rather than the Americans who came together after a long and brutal civil war that was fought to keep the Union together and saw, clearly saw, a threat in ex-Confederates running for office. | ||
| So much so that they amended the Constitution to prevent Those traitors from running for office. | ||
| That should send a message that our election system, our electoral system, can be used for nefarious purposes against the democracy itself. | ||
| It's clear as day. | ||
| Something is certainly clear as day. | ||
| Trump, the guy who let black people, minorities, Jewish people play at his golf courses, he broke that record. | ||
| He embodies what the Confederacy stood for. | ||
| I don't think you understand, Matt. | ||
| According to the New York Times editorial board, Trump is a Confederate from 1860. | ||
| Trump is the ghost of Robert E. Lee. | ||
| When asked about whether unelected judges or the people should decide on who they get to vote for, her response is to let the people decide is to stand with the Confederacy. her response is to let the people decide is to | ||
| I'm just saying maybe talking with these people is a waste of breath. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Maybe when you have somebody like that, there's nothing you can do to talk to them. | ||
| Why are you standing with the Confederates? | ||
| I'm just, you know. | ||
| Just because it was made in response to the Civil War doesn't mean that your opponents are the Confederacy racist or slave owners. | ||
| A law, a provision that was put into place after the actual Civil War where armies of hundreds of thousands of people Murdered each other for years on end. | ||
| And it was put into place to prevent the people that engaged in open rebellion with the United States. | ||
| Was never even implemented after the Civil War. | ||
| For the nearly 200 years since then, it has been a forgotten, defunct measure that has never been even raised before. | ||
| But now apparently because Donald Trump gave a speech hours before there was a protest where it got a little out of hand and the police murdered a bunch of protesters, now he's a confederate. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| You know what I mean at a certain point? | ||
| At a certain point. | ||
| He just... I mean, I guess they're trying to get this reaction out. | ||
| Like, I don't know. I'm sort of torn because it's like, on one hand, like, there is no peaceful solution to this. | ||
| Honestly, I don't know what it is. | ||
| I don't think there is one. I don't think there is one. | ||
| You've got MSNBC. The primary media outlets of our country interviewing the editor of the New York Times, somebody on the editorial board. | ||
| And she's sitting there saying, if you don't let us remove your candidate from the ballot, you're siding with the Confederate States of America from 200 years ago. | ||
| We're supposed to take that seriously? | ||
| Oh, well, that's a good point, but here's a counterpoint. | ||
| Here's what we're going to need to do. | ||
| We're going to need to start running ads in Colorado on how to properly spell Donald Trump's name for the write-in. | ||
| And that's the thing. I was thinking that same thing yesterday. | ||
| And when he beats Nikki Haley or whoever else wants to run against him in Colorado in the primary, right? | ||
| That's going to say something, right? | ||
| When the write-in Donald Trump beats the GOP candidate, that's going to be awesome. | ||
| We'll get into it if that would be necessary or if writing in would even work. | ||
| I mean, if you're banned from the ballot, I think you're banned from being a write-in candidate, too. | ||
| I mean, the idea is that you're banned from holding office. | ||
| So it doesn't even matter if you get the right number of votes. | ||
| They're saying that you're banned from holding office because you engaged in insurrection. | ||
| Words have definition. | ||
| You can't just... | ||
| It's so utterly insane. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't... I just... | |
| I can't be the person up here doing that. | ||
| I can't. If there's one thing that I make sure to do is just tell the truth and just tell you what I think about things, I can't tell you what I'm thinking. | ||
| I just can't. I just can't. | ||
| At a certain point, you just can't talk to these people. | ||
| Why are you standing with Confederates that betrayed this country? | ||
| I like how Oren McIntyre on Twitter responded to this. | ||
| this, the rhetoric escalated to January 6th was a civil war and we need imperial power to reconstruct red states without missing a beat. | ||
| It's all I can say that running through my mind, there's images there's images of... | ||
| I can't say it. | ||
| I'm sorry I can't say it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But... We're on the topic of civil war. | |
| Maybe we have something to talk about here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right, welcome back, folks. - I think I figured out why I have such a problem with all this. | |
| Obviously, there's lots of reasons to have a problem with it. | ||
| But there's something about the way that people on both sides are treating this with any legitimacy at all that just infuriates me. | ||
| It's just this idea... | ||
| That old saying, right? Just like... | ||
| They're spitting in our face and telling us it's raining. | ||
| We're supposed to sit here and act like that's a legitimate claim to make. | ||
| We're supposed to sit here and act like this has... | ||
| Like we should be arguing the points. | ||
| Well, it's technically not an insurrection. | ||
| It's just like... They're just attacking us. | ||
| They're just doing this. | ||
| They're just... Installing tyranny just right out in front of us. | ||
| And I don't want to treat it like it's even worth discussing. | ||
| It's like... | ||
| I'm trying to think of just like an analogy or a metaphor or something where you've just got like dudes with a moving van showing up to your house and they just start like unloading your stuff. | ||
| And you're like, what the hell are you doing? They're like, oh, we're here from a collections agency. | ||
| You defaulted on debts. | ||
| We're here to collect your stuff for payment. | ||
| And you're like, I never took out a loan. | ||
| And you're just robbing me. | ||
| And we're supposed to sit here and debate whether you defaulted. | ||
| And like, well, let's look at the numbers. | ||
| And well, I didn't actually take out that loan. | ||
| I took out this other loan. | ||
| And it's like, no, they're just robbing you. | ||
| So just stop them from robbing you. | ||
| You don't need to debate whether... | ||
| Like, you never took out a loan. There's no collections agency. | ||
| There's no bank that ordered this. | ||
| This isn't legal. You don't have... | ||
| That's how it feels to me. | ||
| Like, you're sitting here... | ||
| People sitting here arguing over the details of just a blatant criminal act. | ||
| They're just obviously taking Trump off the ballot and charging him for all these crimes because they hate him and they want him gone. | ||
| There's no subtlety to this. | ||
| There's no nuance. There's no two sides. | ||
| They're just removing Trump from the ballot because they don't want him on the ballot. | ||
| And that's it. And that's what happened. | ||
| They can couch it in insurrection. | ||
| They could couch it in whatever. | ||
| Like, it doesn't matter. None of that matters. | ||
| It doesn't matter what the guy with the gun tells you about collection agencies. | ||
| He's just robbing you. | ||
| He's just sticking a gun in your face and taking your stuff. | ||
| And it's like, if we can deal with it like that, if we can deal with it just with the... | ||
| Basis of what's going on. | ||
| Just to shed away all the claims of insurrection, all the claims of trials, and all the claims of this and that. | ||
| It's just like they're just robbing us. | ||
| They're just stealing our election in front of us right out in the open. | ||
| And that's it. That's just what's happening. | ||
| So we'll get into it, but we'll go to this video by John Turley on Fox responding to this. | ||
| And he's telling the truth. | ||
| He's responding well, but I can't help but feel infuriated that you're even discussing the claims they're making Because it lends them too much legitimacy to even talk about insurrection, to even say, like, was this an insurrection or not? | ||
| You think it matters to them? | ||
| You think they really think it's an insurrection? | ||
| If you can convince them that it wasn't an insurrection, they'll be like, oh, gee, it wasn't. | ||
| I guess he can be on the ballot. | ||
| They don't care. They don't care. | ||
| They know exactly what they're doing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They know exactly what they're doing. | |
| It's like thinking you can argue with the thieves that no, actually I didn't default on it. | ||
| They know. They know what they're doing. | ||
| They're just robbing you. | ||
| They're just doing this. | ||
| So it just infuriates me that I have all these articles about like all the way people are reacting to it and it's just like maybe democracy just doesn't exist and we just need to come to terms with that. | ||
| We just need to understand where we are. | ||
| And just start making alternative plans. | ||
| Maybe that's where we are at this point. | ||
| Here's clip 18. Here's Jonathan Turley on Fox News yesterday. | ||

|
Well, this court just handed partisans on both sides the ultimate tool to try to shortcut elections. | |
| And it's very, very dangerous. | ||
| I mean, this country is a powder keg, and this court is just throwing matches at it. | ||
| And I think that it's a real mistake. | ||
| But I think that they're wrong on the law. | ||
| You know, January 6th was many things, most of it not good. | ||
| In my view, it was not an insurrection. | ||
| It was a riot. That doesn't mean that the people responsible for that day shouldn't be held accountable. | ||
| But to call this an insurrection for the purposes of disqualification would create a slippery slope for every state in the Union. | ||
| This is a time when we actually need democracy. | ||
| We need to allow the voters to vote. | ||
| We need to hear their decision. | ||
| And the court here just said, you're not going to get that. | ||
| In Colorado, we're not going to let you vote for Donald Trump. | ||
| And, you know, you could dislike Trump. | ||
| You could believe he's responsible for January 6th. | ||
| But this isn't the way to do it. | ||
| I mean, it is, you know, for the people that say they're trying to protect democracy, this is hands down the most anti-democratic opinion I've seen in my lifetime. | ||
| Yeah, duh. They think they're defending—no, they don't think they're defending democracy. | ||
| They're just exerting political power. | ||
| It's as simple as that. | ||
| To take his metaphor, take his analogy, take his imagery. | ||
| You're throwing matches on a powder keg. | ||
| A keg of gunpowder. | ||
| What this actually looks like is these people are behind a blast wall. | ||
| They're behind a fire wall. | ||
| We're sitting in a room with a powder keg. | ||
| They're like throwing matches through a slot at the powder keg trying to get it to explode. | ||
| We're sitting there going, hey, that's a powder keg. | ||
| Hey, if that explodes, we're going to get hurt. | ||
| And they're just like behind this like plexiglass wall. | ||
| It's like 10 inches thick just being like, I know. | ||
| I know it is. I'm trying to kill you. | ||
| It's like to argue about this. | ||
| Hey, they're throwing matches on the powder keg. | ||
| Yeah, they know. They've tied you to the powder keg, and they're far out of the blast radius, shooting fire at it, trying to explode it. | ||
| It's just, again, yeah, it's a very good point, right? | ||
| It's a powder keg, and they're throwing matches on it. | ||
| We need democracy now. It's like, mm-hmm, we know. | ||
| They know exactly what they're doing. | ||
| They're just doing it. They're just doing it, so we can stop them. | ||
| But I don't know how talking is going to stop them ever. | ||
| I don't think it's going to. | ||
| So we need to figure out what to do. | ||
| Maybe I need to open up the phone lines. | ||
| Maybe I need your input on this. | ||
| So maybe we'll do that in just a second. | ||
| I'm going to try to treat this professionally. | ||
| I'm going to try to actually... | ||
| I guess treat this like it has any legitimacy. | ||
| Again, I mean, that's the thing. | ||
| It's like... | ||
|
unidentified
|
But I just... | |
| Honestly, I just have trouble doing it because it's like... | ||
| It's like I have to participate. | ||
| It's like I'm having to participate in this attack on us by even treating it legitimately at all. | ||
| We'll treat it legitimately. We'll treat it as if it's legitimate. | ||
| We'll go to break. We'll come back. | ||
| Read what the New York Times says. | ||
| I'll read why this is going to go to the Supreme Court and what's going to happen after that. | ||
| Why mail-in ballots or write-in candidates. | ||
| It's not going to work. I'll do it. | ||
| We'll do it. Okay. | ||
| Brain force first. | ||
| Go to Infowarsstore.com to support us. | ||
| I'm really trying here. Welcome back, folks. | ||
| I'm going to treat this like it's some serious thing we have to actually pretend with on Grounds of our enemies. | ||
| We'll do that. All right, let's do it. | ||
| Let's get into it. New York Times article says this. | ||
| Trump is disqualified from 2024 ballot. | ||
| Colorado court says an explosive ruling. | ||
| Colorado's top court ruled on Tuesday that former President Donald J. Trump is disqualified from holding office again because he engaged in insurrection with his actions leading up to the January 6th storming of the Capitol. | ||
| An explosive ruling that's likely to put the basic contours of the 2024 election in the hands of the U.S. Supreme Court. | ||
| The ruling directs Colorado Secretary of State to exclude Mr. | ||
| Trump's name from the state's Republican primary ballot. | ||
| It does not address the general election. | ||
| Mr. Trump's campaign said immediately that it would appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. | ||
| Colorado justices anticipated that likelihood by putting their ruling on hold until at least January 4th. | ||
| If Mr. Trump appeals before then, the hold will continue until the Supreme Court rules. | ||
| And while Tuesday's ruling applies to only one state, it could force the nation's highest court to decide the question for all 50. | ||
| Well, that should be pretty simple because he didn't engage in insurrection. | ||
| He was charged with insurrection during the impeachment, which was in fact a trial on that exact matter, and he was acquitted in it. | ||
| So it seems pretty simple. | ||
| When you're accused of something, have a trial, and then are acquitted, you then are not subject to the punishments of the thing of which you were accused. | ||
| So he is now being subjected to the punishment for a crime that he was committed, he was acquitted of having committed. | ||
| And again, it's just the bubbling rage when you hear things like this. | ||
| Mr. Trump's campaign denounced the ruling, which is likely to inflame a Republican base that he has primed to see the array of civil and criminal cases against him as a witch hunt. | ||
| He primed people to see this as a witch hunt. | ||
| It's not that it's obviously a witch hunt. | ||
| It's not that this is the only time this has ever happened in American history where a former president is not just being charged for a crime, but is being charged for a dozen different crimes by a dozen different... | ||
| There's actuaries in the Justice Department that's all being coordinated by the White House, that they put a special prosecutor, not for a particular case, but for a particular person, saying go after him for the documents, go after him for January 6th, go after him for the 2020 election, go after him for whatever, just get him. No, but Trump primed us. | ||
| We would not think this without Trump saying this. | ||
| I don't even know I mean, Trump doesn't even make statements that often anymore. | ||
| Like, none of this is from Trump. | ||
| None of this is because Trump primed people to see, like, if Trump wasn't saying this, then we would just be like, oh, a legitimate court proceeding. | ||
| They're going to come to the right decision, and we're going to have justice. | ||
| And then Trump comes along and says something, and we all change our mind. | ||
| I mean, they have to phrase everything like this. | ||
| They have to. They have to. | ||
| And this was all carried out by Noah Bookbinder, the president of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. | ||
| Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. | ||
| So it's a Soros-funded group. | ||
| Soros, this international billionaire criminal that's crashed entire economies around the world, who should have been arrested probably decades ago at this point. | ||
| He just gives millions upon millions of dollars to professionals who are the least ethical, least moral people in the world to put on the guise of ethics and morality, to spend day after day, hour after hour, a full-time job doing anything they can to disrupt and eliminate democracy in America. | ||
| And they're just able to get this ruling. | ||
| They're just able to present this case despite... | ||
| And they've tried it in a dozen different states... | ||
| They've tried it in Michigan. | ||
| They tried it in all over New Hampshire, Minnesota, Michigan. | ||
| Every one of these just gets thrown out immediately. | ||
| They're like, no, he didn't. | ||
| There wasn't an insurrection. | ||
| There was no insurrection. What are they even talking about? | ||
| This is the craziest thing. | ||
| There wasn't even an insurrection. | ||
| What are they even talking about? | ||
| How did it get this far? | ||
| How did it get this far? That's the real upsetting thing. | ||
| I guess the good thing about this is it really puts into stark relief how thoroughly gone America is. | ||
| Not only that this would be suggested, that it would be actually presented to a court, that the court would actually pick it up, that the court would actually decide on it, that the mainstream media would actually treat it with sincerity and seriousness. | ||
| How many layers of our society have been wholly compromised at this point? | ||
| And what is necessary to get back some semblance, some modicum of reality back in this system? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's just crazy. | |
| It's just absolutely crazy. | ||
| So, I mean, the good news is that by actually electing Donald Trump in 2016, and 2020 for that matter, but by actually electing him in 2016, he was able to get some good people on the Supreme Court. | ||
| So there's some hope there. Although, we don't know. | ||
| We don't know. I mean, who knows? | ||
| The Supreme Court could literally just be like, no, we're not picking it up. | ||
| He's disqualified. I mean, they could do that. | ||
| Also, by the way, I do need to correct myself. | ||
| Earlier, I said that there could be a write-in campaign. | ||
| Actually, that's not true. | ||
| Right. They've also banned the electors from counting those votes as well. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. All hope is lost in Colorado. | |
| Yeah, I mean, it's not like he was going to win Colorado anyway, but it's like... | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| I mean, the people of Colorado, are you not insulted? | ||
| Are you not infuriated? I'd say if I was Trump, I'd put up big billboards, the pictures of the Supreme Court justices, the four of them in the Colorado Supreme Court. | ||
| It's a court of seven. | ||
| Three of them dissented. | ||
| But they got out one. So, you know, four people in Colorado basically have decided for the entire state, you don't get to vote for Donald Trump. | ||
| Even if I didn't support Donald Trump, are you not personally insulted by this? | ||
| You're an American citizen. | ||
| You get to vote for who you want to. | ||
| Even if the person that you don't want to vote for Even if you're not going to vote for Donald Trump, the fact that somebody would come along and tell you that you can't, like you're sitting there about to vote, and you've got Donald Trump and Joe Biden on the ballot, and you're about to vote for Joe Biden, and somebody comes up and is just like, you cannot vote for Donald Trump, you're not allowed to. | ||
| There's something in me that just goes, well now I'm going to. | ||
| Who the hell are you to think you can tell me who I can vote for? | ||
| Who do you think you are? | ||
| An insurrection. My God. | ||
| So again, Greg Price points this out, as we just read in the New York Times article. | ||
| If review is sought by the Supreme Court before the stay expires, which is January 4th, it shall remain in place, and the Secretary will continue to be required to include President Trump's name on the 2024 presidential primary ballot until the receipt of any order or mandate from the Supreme Court. | ||
| So if the Supreme Court doesn't just immediately drop this case, then he will still be on the ballot. | ||
| It doesn't even matter. It doesn't even matter. | ||
| The fact they tried this, the fact they've gotten so far with it, the fact that not only that, you've got people like Dan Crenshaw coming out in favor of this. | ||
| You've got rhino Republicans actually not just treating this with Legitimacy, like we saw John Turley do, where you can dissent and disagree, but you still act like this has some sort of legitimacy. | ||
| The Republicans, like Dan Crenshaw, are actually acting like this is like a good thing. | ||
| This is like a good ballot. This is like a good decision here. | ||
| They should be removed from the ballot. | ||
| I mean, it's just insane. | ||
| It's just utterly insane. It's like charging him for murder and there's no dead body and there's no missing person and there's no victim. | ||
| There's no insurrection. | ||
| There was no insurrection. | ||
| What are they even talking about? | ||
| The protest where a bunch of protesters were killed by police shooting at them point blank. | ||
| The protest that was peaceful until the cops fired flashbangs into the crowd forcing them forward into the police lines where they beat them to death. | ||
| Was that the insurrection? The insurrection where nobody was armed? | ||
| The insurrection where there was absolutely no plan? | ||
| As laid out in the courts themselves, who claimed it was an unspoken conspiracy? | ||
| It was a mental connection that everybody had where they just all knew they were going to insurrect, but none of them brought weapons. | ||
| None of them made plans. | ||
| There was no insurrection, so what are we talking about? | ||
| Why is anybody treating this with anything other than laughable contempt? | ||
| Folks, in response to the ruling from the Colorado Supreme Court, the Colorado Republican Party has announced it will withdraw from the primary and convert to a pure caucus system if the state's the Colorado Republican Party has announced it will withdraw from the primary and convert Quote, we will withdraw from the primary as a party and convert to a pure caucus system if this is allowed to stand. | ||
| Whatever you have to do, whatever you have to do to defeat this, But once again, we're in this situation where it's like, what is the charge for attempted tyranny? | ||
| Like attempted murder? | ||
| Just because it didn't succeed in getting Trump off the ballot, you did try to subvert the foundation of our electoral system. | ||
| So, we're just going to let him get away with this? | ||
| John Bowne at NewsBowne on Twitter has a good take on this. | ||
| He says this, Per usual, Soros and Crewe are working loopholes. | ||
| However, and I believe that's the initialism for this group, right? | ||
| Citizens of Responsible Ethics. | ||
| Or whatever. | ||
| I assume that's what he means when he says crew in all capital letters. | ||
| Per usual, Soros and crew are working loopholes. | ||
| However, if the Supreme Court finds that Trump did not violate Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, a.k.a. rebellion or insurrection, which he didn't, then the ball rolls right back to Soros and his underlings. | ||
| The Federal Elections Campaign Act of 1971, pursuant to 18 U.S.C.S. 241, two or more persons are prohibited from conspiring to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any state, territory, commonwealth, possession, or district. | ||
| In the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States or because of his or her having so exercised the same. | ||
| I would argue that Soros and crew have conspired against every citizen of the United States. | ||
| It's a gray area because no one has interfered in our election so boldly, and a precedent of this magnitude has no previous foothold. | ||
| But just a drop of jurisprudence into the intent of the crew watchdog group Behind this reveals an open hostility to the average American voter. | ||
| No matter your political leanings, the precedent is corrupt on its face and it is dangerous. | ||
| George Soros just crossed the Rubicon. | ||
| Soros, his children, and his supporters must be fined and permanently banished from our political process and our country and our country as reason would dictate. | ||
| But we are ruled over by a deeply dug-in corrupt and psychopathic, sociopathic madness. | ||
| This isn't about Trump anymore. | ||
| This is about a foreign oligarch twisting a constitutional amendment in order to alter the future of the 2024 presidential election, thus altering the free exercise of the future of the United States. | ||
| Not only does the Supreme Court clearly need to overturn the ruling of the Colorado Supreme Court, but the congressman must now address this grievous breach of the republic, or it will set a precedent that will corrode the foundation of the United States of America and will set in motion an already massively corrupt Soros-funded executive branch towards an inevitable or it will set a precedent that will corrode the foundation of I completely agree. | ||
| I mean, this should be a call to arms for the congressman. | ||
| This should be a clarion call, a wake-up call, not just to denounce this, not just go on Twitter and say, I disagree, this is bad, but like, go on the offense. | ||
| Hardcore go on the offense. | ||
| Just start calling committees up today. | ||
| Start getting the Congress together today and go, we desperately need to pass a law because as John Bound just laid out, this is a blatant attempt to destroy the democratic process in America funded by a foreigner who's using NGOs and billions of dollars to just scattershot, | ||
| try to get Trump off the ballot in whatever state they can, by whatever methods they can, in complete, abject violation of the constitutional rights of Americans to actually have a fair say in their country. | ||
| There should be new laws written to address this. | ||
| They should repeal the 14th Amendment. | ||
| I mean, there's like a dozen different things they should be doing today, putting bills on the floor, taking votes for it, doing investigations, demanding documents, demanding, you know, internal discussions between the people that orchestrated this. | ||
| Sending them to jail if they refuse to provide them. | ||
| Now is the time to go on the absolute offensive. | ||
| For the sake of this republic, for the sake of our entire system, something has to be done in response to this. | ||
| Not just in defense of what they're trying to do, but in offense against them ever trying anything like this ever again. | ||
| Has to be done. | ||
| John Bowne laid out a very good argument for it right there. | ||
| Of course, Trump in response of this, Biden should drop all these fake political indictments against me, both criminal and civil. | ||
| Every case I'm fighting is the work of the DOJ and White House. | ||
| No such thing has ever happened in our country before. | ||
| Banana Republic election interference. | ||
| Just don't even know what to say. | ||
| Peter Spilakios on Twitter says, whether it's Harvard saying you're a star, if you're a star, they let you do plagiarism, or the Colorado Supreme Court trying to preemptively cancel the 2024 election, Overreach by elite liberals that feel they are above the rule helps Trump by creating a general atmosphere of moral chaos. | ||
| Responding to this, Sagar Ingeti says, Trump's genius is he makes his enemies into what they accuse him of. | ||
| To protect democracy, they violate democracy. | ||
| To fight racism, they implement literal race quotas. | ||
| To fight norms, they violate – to protect norms, they violate norms. | ||
| Trump's a spotlight slash accelerant on the contradictions of the elite. | ||
| Now, Vivek Ramaswamy has pledged to withdraw from the Colorado ballot amid Trump's removal. | ||
| A very admirable thing, and he's calling on other Let's go to clip number 10 here. | ||
| This is Vivek Ramaswamy pledging to withdraw from the Colorado primary ballot. | ||
| Let's watch. They have just tried to bar President Trump from the Colorado ballot using an unconstitutional maneuver that is a bastardization of the 14th Amendment to our U.S. Constitution. | ||
| This was a provision, Section 3, that was designed to bar Confederate members. | ||
| People switched to the Confederacy from actually being able to serve. | ||
| That's very different than what's at issue here, to say the least. | ||
| This is a hollowed out husk of what the country was built on. | ||
| The basic principle that we the people select our leadership, not the unelected elite class in the back of palace halls. | ||
| That's old world Europe, not the United States. | ||
| That's why I'm making a pledge today that I will withdraw. | ||
| I pledge to withdraw from the Colorado GOP primary ballot unless and until Trump's name is restored. | ||
| And I demand that Ron DeSantis and Chris Christie and Nikki Haley do the same thing, or else these Republicans are simply complicit in this unconstitutional attack on the way we conduct our constitutional republic. | ||
| I refuse to be complicit in that. | ||
| I think what they're doing is wrong, and I think it's up to Republicans to step up and stand up with a spine for our country's future. | ||
| That's really what's at stake, whether we the people actually have a say in deciding who leads this country. | ||
| Yes, it would be easier for other Republicans like me who are running in this race to say, hey, if Trump is sidelined, there's our opportunity. | ||
| No doubt other candidates are probably privately celebrating with their corporate sponsors. | ||
| That's not the right thing to do. | ||
| I think the most useful thing that every GOP candidate can do right now is to join me in that pledge. | ||
| I'll say that I will withdraw from that Colorado GOP primary ballot until Trump's name is restored. | ||
| This belongs to the people, not to the unelected Democratic cabal of judges in Colorado or any other state. | ||
| And I demand that Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley and Chris Christie do the same thing, or else they're complicit in what this security state is trying to do to shut down Trump. | ||
| I stand by that and I expect them to do the right thing. | ||
| Very powerful and appropriate statement from Vivek Ramaswamy. | ||
| I'm just checking Ron DeSantis' Twitter here. | ||
| Nope, nothing about any of this. | ||
| He's talking about hunting and fishing licenses. | ||
| Wonderful. And of course, the Republicans, the mainstream fake conservatives, the RINOs, have just the most typical and despicable and disappointing response to this. | ||
| Vivek Ramaswamy pledges to withdraw from the Colorado ballot amid Trump removal. | ||
| Dan Crenshaw tweets this out saying, maybe he should just withdraw from all the other states too. | ||
| Maybe he should just drop out. | ||
| Can you imagine... | ||
| Going to war and getting your eyes shot out for America and then still being so moronic, being so utterly complicit in its destruction. | ||
| Imagine something you feel so strongly about. | ||
| You're willing to sacrifice your life, sacrifice the vision of one of your eyes to uphold, only to allow it to be stolen from you in peacetime. | ||
| And you're polite to the thieves. | ||
| I mean, it's just... | ||
| Naya Bukele, president of El Salvador, responds to this ruling by saying the United States has lost its ability to lecture any country about democracy. | ||
| Yeah, we're not a democracy. | ||
| We're not even a republic. | ||
| It really puts into stark relief what our options are at this point. | ||
| Again, I'm sorry. | ||
| This is a very rare circumstance where I'm having trouble expressing myself because I can't just say what I would like to. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, Ladies and gentlemen, the Democratic Party just stole the 2024 election long before the polls opened. the Democratic Party just stole the 2024 election long before | ||
| The Supreme Court of Colorado in a 4-3 decision without Trump ever being convicted of January 6 or any other garbage just said Trump is off the ballot in the primary so you can't vote for him to be president. | ||
| And they say other states will follow. | ||
| We've seen Jack Smith in the politically motivated operations. | ||
| We've seen trials in New York without juries against Trump. | ||
| This is criminal activity in front of everyone. | ||
| This is the oligarchy that's hijacked our country, setting up a totalitarian dictatorship in our face. | ||
| The Supreme Court must act quickly to overturn this. | ||
| But you see the incredible pressure going on against the U.S. Supreme Court right now by the media, the attacks on Clarence Thomas and more. | ||
| This is a dark day for our republic. | ||
| They're making their move. | ||
| When all these indictments of Trump blew up in their face and made his approval rating go up even higher, 10, 15 points about Biden, they didn't stop. | ||
| So now they're moving and have been successful in Colorado to take him off the ballot so you can't vote for him. | ||
| The definition Of stealing an election. | ||
| We'll be covering this all live tomorrow at 11 a.m. | ||
| Central on the Alex Jones Show at InfoWars.com forward slash show. | ||
| You can follow us right here at X. But this is incredible. | ||
| And look, it shows what tyrants do throughout history. | ||
| When they're cornered, when a bureaucracy, when a coup is exposed, it digs in and it goes for broke. | ||
| And this has happened right now. | ||
| Remember, they've indicted him Federally for saying the election was stolen in 2020 when there's massive evidence. | ||
| But regardless of what we think about that evidence, this is open election meddling. | ||
| This is saying you can't vote for who you want to. | ||
| And they just did it last year in Brazil when Bolsonaro questioned the election. | ||
| The State Department went down there and got their government to pass a law saying Bolsonaro can't run for president either. | ||
| That's what they're doing. They're telling you who you can and can't vote for. | ||
| Infowars.com, tomorrow's news today. | ||
| The tyrants are up in your grill, but the good news is humanity's awakened and it's not going along with this. | ||
| But 2024, just days away, is going to be spectacularly crazy. | ||
| As Dorothy says in The Wizard of Oz, Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore. | ||

| Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| This is the American Journal. I'm joined in studio by the one and only Chase Geiser. | ||
| Thanks so much for joining me here. | ||
| Always a pleasure to be with you, Harrison. | ||
| What have you been doing with your time since you are not having to host a three-hour show every day since Owen got back from prison? | ||
| Well, we've been very busy, as you can see, in the office ever since Alex and Infowars have been allowed back on X. So I've been busy dealing with that content and helping out the best way that I can and also putting together some pretty cool AI things that are going to be coming at the first of the year. | ||
| Yeah, a lot of really awesome stuff I've been seeing you doing, including some pretty cool images of me you've been coming up with, I have to say. | ||
| So obviously we're going to keep talking about Trump being excluded from the ballot just here in the first minute. | ||
| What's your immediate response to this? | ||
| Well, it's just totally hypocritical given that the left always talks about how right-wing extremism is a threat to our democracy. | ||
| And then, of course, they're literally just not allowing a democratic process to happen. | ||
| This is the only thing about our republic that is democratic is our elections. | ||
| And they say they love democracy so much their whole party is named after democracy. | ||
| It's the Democratic Party. | ||
| And then they don't want people to be allowed on the ballot, especially when they're the most popular candidate or by far the leading candidate of the opposition. | ||
| So it's not like some bizarre fluke candidate or some Green Party person who doesn't meet signature requirements, right? | ||
| This is obviously a political dissident being punished. | ||
| I don't know if you've been watching the show. | ||
| I'm like at a loss for words. | ||
| It's so blatant what they're doing. | ||
| I don't know how we get out of this. | ||
| Well, I do. I'm just not allowed to say it. | ||
| We'll be right back with Chase Geiser, folks. | ||

| 2% is actually in front of the camera. | ||
| 98% of what we do here is all behind the scenes, including what Chase Geyser is working feverishly on day in and day out. | ||
| InfoWarsStore.com is the only place we get funding. | ||
| It's the only thing that keeps us on the air. | ||
| So please do go to InfoWarsStore.com and And do your part. | ||
| We promise we will do ours. | ||
| Chase, once again, welcome back to the show. | ||
| Thank you. I felt bad. | ||
| You got a taste of the host life for like two months, and then we kicked you to the curb. | ||
| I know, I got demoted. | ||
| You got demoted. Send back to whence you came. | ||
| But no, but you've been doing really awesome stuff and of course it was very good timing as you are the social media guru and we got back on X and that's been super exciting. | ||
| How's that been going? Give us some behind the scenes details, numbers. | ||
| Yeah, I think in the first seven days that Alex was back, his personal account alone reached over 70 million impressions. | ||
| It'll be like one in five Americans. | ||
| I think that those impressions could be the same person seeing tweets multiple times. | ||
| So it's not 70 million people necessarily, but it's 70 million impressions. | ||
| Even 20 million would be a shockingly large number of people to reach. | ||
| You're more likely to see an Alex Jones tweet than you are to watch CNN. Yeah, very, very true. | ||
| Well, it's been very exciting seeing all that happen. | ||
| Like I said, I've spent the first two hours just biting my tongue. | ||
| Because, honestly, I don't... | ||
| I don't know if you're watching the show, but do you get what I'm saying about like, I can't even treat this with seriousness because it's so blatant what they're doing that to like argue like, well, it wasn't technically an answer. | ||
| It doesn't matter because they're just doing it. | ||
| So it's like, I feel like I'm almost complicit in their scheme by even treating it with any semblance of legitimacy or trying to argue the points. | ||
| It's like, it's just, this is all disgusting to me. | ||
| Well, it's just like with anything that we've seen from the left or just government as a whole. | ||
| The right wing does it, too. | ||
| They just use these things as excuses to do what they already want to do, whether it's justified or not. | ||
| So they want you to wear masks even though they don't work because it's part of their psychological agenda or whatever. | ||
| So, yeah, it's obvious that they don't actually believe that it was an insurrection. | ||
| They just use that. | ||
| It's hyperbole. | ||
| There was no one ever convicted of insurrection. | ||
| So the Supreme Court in Colorado just disregarded the fact that there was never actually anyone found guilty of the crime in which would legally disqualify someone from the ballot. | ||
| Frankly, I don't even think it's constitutional, at least not in the sense of the law, the spirit of the law to ban somebody from a ballot because they're an insurrectionist. | ||
| You should be legally allowed to attempt insurrection in this country. | ||
| Right, right. It's sort of what we're all about. | ||
| And actually, Vivek Manaswamy goes into some of those legal arguments that we'll get to in a second. | ||
| But remember, they already did this, and I think it was Colorado... | ||
| Also, or no, it must have been Georgia because it was Marjorie Taylor Greene, and she had to sit there and was, like, subjected to a questioning about, like, whether she participated in insurrection. | ||
| So they're already doing this, not just on the presidential level, but on the congressional level, subjecting people to totally unconstitutional, like, pseudo-court proceedings where they're sitting there and being questioned by some lawyer, and the outcome is whether they'll actually be allowed on the ballot or not. | ||
| Like, how did we even get to this point? | ||
| I don't know how we got here, but it's a damn shame. | ||
| Frankly, I'm optimistic, and I'm not a lawyer, so I don't know for sure, but I'm optimistic that this is going to go to the federal Supreme Court, they're going to overturn it, and it's going to make all the other cases about whether or not Trump can be on the ballot, according to the 14th Amendment, moot. | ||
| So hopefully this bounces back, but the fact that they're even attempting this to me is incredibly offensive. | ||
| Again, I don't know if you were watching when I read it, but what did you think about John Bowne's tweet? | ||
| Because he was basically saying, now is the time Congress has to do something to prevent this from ever happening again, basically. | ||
| I mean, you've got this foreign oligarch, George Soros, who funds this group, who just launches lawsuit after lawsuit, trial after trial, just trying to get something done. | ||
| Like, how should Congress, how should Republicans, how should people that actually care about this republic respond in a way that's more than just playing defense and trying to, like, mitigate the actions of the left? | ||
| Like, how do you think they should go after these people to punish them for, like, I'd say we need, like, attempted tyranny as a charge. | ||
| Like, you tried to be tyrannical, even if it failed. | ||
| Just like if you try to murder somebody, just because the person survived your attack doesn't mean you get off scot-free. | ||
| Even if we survive this attack, what needs to be done to make sure that this type of thing is forbidden from now on? | ||
| That's a great question, and I struggle with the response to that question because technically it's up to the states to determine how their elections are conducted. | ||
| And on the one hand, I agree with that because if the federal government were to enact some election policy that I disagreed with, whether it was voting machines or mass mail-in voting, then it would ruin elections all over the country for everyone at the federal level. | ||
| But on the other hand, since states are allowed to do this, we have issues like this where it's impossible for third parties to get on the ballot in Texas, for example. | ||
| And every state has its sort of intricacies and nuances around it. | ||
| So I honestly, man, I don't know what the solution is. | ||
| I just know that this level of unethicalness is a serious problem. | ||
| And I talked about this a little bit when I was covering on the show for you. | ||
| I wish that we had a bizarro Soros. | ||
| And Musk is kind of like that, but he's more apolitical. | ||
| He's interested in business and tech and cultural influences. | ||
| He's not buying up attorney generals or district attorneys or anything like that like Soros did. | ||
| But where are the right-wing billionaires to counteract the supervillains? | ||
| Where are the superheroes to counteract the supervillains? | ||
| And so I think... | ||
| What we have to do is we just have to make sure that everybody as an individual is as activated as possible. | ||
| But honestly, unless we get some superheroes involved... | ||
| We're screwed, man. Right. | ||
| No, we literally have this massive array of supervillains. | ||
| Yeah. None of whom died of COVID. Right. | ||
| Yeah. Despite being 90 years old and traveling the world constantly. | ||
| It's funny because I use the term Bizarro Musk saying like, you know, you've got Elon Musk standing up for free speech and buying these companies and doing all these amazing things. | ||
| But what he's up against is not a Bizarro Musk. | ||
| That's what I was saying. There's not just one guy that did all of this. | ||
| It's like this massive confederacy of people on the left all working towards his ultimate goal. | ||
| We've got one guy, Elon Musk, is doing some things to prevent it. | ||
| But it's not just Musk versus Soros. | ||
| It's Musk versus Soros and Clinton and da-da-da-da and just like this massive, I mean, unimaginable array. | ||
| Rather than superhero versus supervillain, it's almost like individual versus collective. | ||
| Yeah. It's like you have this one man with principles and he defies all odds and he goes against the massive collectivist sort of movement. | ||
| Yeah. It's very Ayn Rand, like Fountainhead, Howard Rook type thing where it's the individual versus the masses. | ||
| And we're going to see how it plays out. | ||
| But traditionally speaking, individuals seem to win. | ||
| Well, they have in the past, but I think the world that we're in now is not the one we were in before. | ||
| And, you know, so the way John Bowne puts it, he says, George Soros just crossed the Rubicon. | ||
| Soros, his children, his supporters must be fined and permanently banished from our political process and our country, and our country, as reason would dictate, but were ruled over by a deeply dug in corrupt and sociopathic madness. | ||
| Let me ask you this. Has Soros actually broken any laws? | ||
| Or is everything that he... | ||
| Is everything that he does within the bounds of the law just screwed up? | ||
| I don't know. I think it all kind of falls in the gray area because... | ||
| I mean, I guess he's technically... | ||
| I assume he's an American citizen. | ||
| I'm sure he holds other, you know, citizenships as well because he's not from America originally. | ||
| He didn't grow up here and he didn't spend most of his life here. | ||
| He spent it overseas in Hungary and in the UK and elsewhere. | ||
| So maybe some law about, you know, foreign funding or something. | ||
| But... I mean, when you launder your money through these NGOs that just goes into some black money fund and they get to take it out and do whatever they want with it, I'm sure he's very careful to stick within the strict technical bounds of the law. | ||
| People forget that you can be evil without being a criminal. | ||
| You can just be a terrible person. | ||
| How do they forget that? | ||
| Because it's like... I just don't know how you'd lock him up. | ||
| What would you charge him with? | ||
| Other than just being a terrible human being. | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| What he points out is that the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, two or more persons are prohibited from conspiring to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in the state, territory, commonwealth, etc. | ||
| of the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States or because of his or her having exercised the same. | ||
| So if you're funding a group that is Starting legal proceedings with the sole intent and purpose of depriving the American people of their right to vote for their chosen candidate, maybe that's a violation right there. | ||
| So what about funding groups like the ADL that just blackmail and harass and run these slander campaigns against the likes of Elon Musk? | ||
| Another grayer. | ||
| That's why Elon Musk is threatening to take him to court for defamation. | ||
| He can show damages, show how they've caused him monetary damage. | ||
| And because of lies. | ||
| And they sort of backed off once he threatened to do that. | ||
| But again, it's like, why should he even have to do that? | ||
| Where is our legal framework to stop the bad actors from abusing our laws? | ||
| We'll be back on the other side of the chase, guys. | ||
| I'm glad neither one of us know what to do. | ||
| I'm not alone here. Welcome back. | ||
| Chase Geyser in studio with me at Real Chase Geyser on Twitter. | ||
| He, of course, is behind so much of the social media content that we've been pumping out ever since we got back on X, I should say. | ||
| I have trouble not calling it Twitter. | ||
| We're actually going to open up the lines for your phone calls in the last 30 minutes of today's show. | ||
| So we won't be able to take too many calls, but give us a call and... | ||
| You'll only stay on hold for a couple minutes either way. | ||
| The number to dial is 1-877-789-2539. | ||
| I'm really desperate. | ||
| I'm really desperate for somebody out there To tell me what needs to be done here. | ||
| Here's a question. What would the Democrats do if this was their candidate? | ||
| They would do George Floyd 2.0. | ||
| They'd be in the streets. | ||
| They'd be burning buildings down. They'd be looting stores. | ||
| Yeah. What would they do legally? | ||
| Because it seems to me like, and it happens over and over. | ||
| We had a story yesterday actually about it. | ||
| I didn't get to it, but it was on my substack in the Daily Dispatch where they bar institutions like universities from Doing, from taking race into account when getting candidates or applicants. | ||
| And so they just, they just keep doing it anyway. | ||
| Right. But they just change how they word it. | ||
| So it's still, so it's then technically in line with the law. | ||
| So they say like, you can't take race into account. | ||
| They say, okay, we won't, but we'll take. | ||
| But now when we judge merit, race is a part of merit. | ||
| You know, whatever they do is just like a little workaround. | ||
| So, you know, I wonder if this happened to the Democrats, they would just go, well, we're putting them on the ballot anyway. | ||
| And just they would just put them on the ballot and just count it and just go. | ||
| I think what they would do is they'd riot and loot and burn things down and they'd constantly get bailed out when they got arrested for doing these things. | ||
| Because they have that coalition. | ||
| It would catalyze. Like a Kyle Rittenhouse 2.0. | ||
| And I think Kyle Rittenhouse is innocent. | ||
| So when I say Kyle Rittenhouse 2.0, take that with a grain of salt. | ||
| I don't mean it like that. But they would try to catalyze some sort of a mass shooting or right-wing extremist response. | ||
| And then use that to even further... | ||
| You've got to keep in mind, this was almost three years ago now that January 6th happened. | ||
| And they're still calling it an insurrection. | ||
| Yeah, they're still calling it an insurrection. | ||
| There's people that have been sentenced to prison for over two decades. | ||
| Some of whom weren't even in the capital that day at all. | ||
| And so they milked these crises. | ||
| They milked 9-11 forever with the war on terror. | ||
| War on terror over and over again. | ||
| 10, 15, 20 years. | ||
| 500,000 civilians killed between the two wars. | ||
| They're going to milk the insurrection thing until the next big thing happens that can replace it. | ||
| But if this were happening to them and somebody was being forcibly removed, you'd see all the mass media outlets call for the assassination of Trump. | ||
| We have a highlight reel of them doing that in 2016 anyway already, with Johnny Depp famously saying, when was the last time that an actor killed or assassinated a president? | ||
| And he's referring, of course, to John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Abraham Lincoln. | ||
| You would just see rhetoric from them that they have traditionally ascribed to domestic terrorism when it comes from the right. | ||
| Right. Well, speaking of Lincoln, I know you're working on a ex-exclusive for later today, but can you give us a preview of that? | ||
| Because you saw some similarities between this and the 1860 election of Lincoln. | ||
| So, a lot of parallels between this and the Civil War. | ||
| Some unearned, like calling January 6th an insurrection, equivalent to the most devastating war in our history. | ||
| But there are some other interesting connections that you're drawing. | ||
| Yeah. So... I believe and I could be mistaken about this but I believe that Abraham Lincoln is the only other major presidential candidate who has been absent Right. | ||
| Right. Now we're seeing the same thing happen with Trump, where there's this push to get him off the ballot. | ||
| They're using these technicalities to try to do it right or wrong. | ||
| And there's overwhelming support for Trump. | ||
| The other thing that is similar between the two instances is... | ||
| I have a political theory that the higher the voter turnout is, the closer you are to a Civil War. | ||
| So we've always seen, get out to vote, get out to vote. | ||
| Everyone's pushing for higher voter turnout. | ||
| You don't want a high voter turnout because when everybody shows up to vote, it's because they're upset about something. | ||
| Voter turnout in 1860, I think, was like 80%. | ||
| I mean, it was astronomical. | ||
| So the closer we get to a similar voter turnout at a presidential level to what happened in 1860, the closer we are, I think, to Civil War 2.0. | ||
| I think it's a really good correlative indicator. | ||
| That's very interesting. I hadn't heard that. | ||
| And then you're talking about, who are the Wide Awakes? | ||
| I had never heard of them. Yeah, so I don't know much about the Wide Awakes, but I know that they were supporters of Abraham Lincoln. | ||
| They rallied similar to like the Proud Boys. | ||
| And their whole slogan was Wide Awake. | ||
| They called themselves the Wide Awakes. | ||
| And I think it's just so interesting how there's so many similarities between Lincoln and Trump and this political dynamic now and right before the Civil War, given that we talk about the Great Awakening and awareness and activation of And there was this massive political movement that titled itself the Wide Awakes over 100 years ago. | ||
| I'd never heard of it. When you mentioned him, I looked him up on Wikipedia and I don't know much about them. | ||
| I do know they have a far superior uniform than any other right-wing group. | ||
| They wore capes. Right. | ||
| It was a full robe or cape, a black glazed hat, and a torch six feet in length with a large flaming pivoting whale oil container was mounted. | ||
| That sounds awesome. | ||
| I want a six-foot torch and black capes. | ||
| Oh, there they are. And a cool hat. | ||
| Oh, they look cool. Those are the proud boys of yore. | ||
| Yeah. That's what we need to do. | ||
| We need to bring back the costume. | ||
| That's right. That's all that we're missing. | ||
| That's what the Proud Boys are missing. | ||
| Instead of the polos with the stripes on it, they need capes or dusters of some sort. | ||
| Can you imagine if they would have shown up and done the same exact thing in the wideways? | ||
| Oh my god, they would have gotten shut down so much quicker. | ||
| You know, liberals, they really put a lot of... | ||
| Put a lot of emphasis on what things look like, and if you look scary, they think you're scary, so they'll shut you down. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. Unless you're Klaus Schwab, then you can dress like a Sith Lord, and it's not even a problem. | ||
| Right. Free speech, free soil, free men. | ||
| I like it. It was the anti-slavery movement, yeah. | ||
| I want to be a part of the Wide Awake Club. | ||
| Look at that. I love the six-foot-tall torches. | ||
| Yeah, it's really cool. I wonder if there's an example of one of their uniforms in a museum somewhere. | ||
| Cool to see a real one. Yeah, it is... | ||
| So, Aaliyah, a lot of interesting corollaries to the Civil War. | ||
| Zabivak Ramaswamy notes, And he also points out that, They're equating President Trump's speech to rebellion, right? | ||
| He spoke out against the election, called for protests. | ||
| They're equating that with rebellion. | ||
| There was no insurrection. There was no rebellion. | ||
| And he also notes that Trump is not a former officer of the United States, which is the people that are actually talked about in the section of the Constitution that they use to disqualify him. | ||
| So, as that term is used in the Constitution, meaning that Section 3 does not apply, as the Supreme Court explained in Free Enterprise Fund vs. | ||
| Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in 2010, a, quote, officer of the United States, somebody appointed by the president to aid him in his duties under Article 2, Section 2, the term does not apply to elected officials and certainly not to the president himself. | ||
| So he's not an officer. Doesn't apply to him. | ||
| There was no insurrection. I mean, nothing about this is valid at all. | ||
| Yeah, it's like that scene from Game of Thrones. | ||
| This is all you have, a piece of paper, and she rips up the decree that he was going to be the sit-in king. | ||
| They don't care about what the law actually means or says. | ||
| No, I'm telling you, it's like we're sitting here debating whether or not Trump should be charged with murder, and the person he's accused of murdering is sitting here alive. | ||
| And it's just like, how are we even talking about this when the crime hasn't even been committed? | ||
| Phone calls on the other side, folks. | ||
| Stay tuned. We're back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| We're on the cusp of whatever comes next. | ||
| I don't even know. We got your phone calls pouring in, and a lot of people from Colorado calling in will give you priority here. | ||
| And of course, people are calling about the topic of discussion. | ||
| I know other people calling in about other things, but we are going to stick to the actual insurrection that's happening, the actual takeover of our electoral system. | ||
| Wild, wild stuff. | ||
| Let's start with Line 8. | ||
| Sean in Denver, thanks for calling in. | ||
| What's the solution to this? | ||
| Hi, guys. Can you hear me okay? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, sir. All right. | |
| Yeah, the solution to this would have been the same when it comes to these convoys back in 2020 that they shut down, and they should have never stopped, folks. | ||
| I mean, we should have Gotten a grassroots movement up and ready, and we could right now be having the biggest numbers on the streets right now with this resistance, but I really don't understand what it's going to take to get people to get out into the streets. | ||
| There's multiple podcasts, Abu Seven and others, that are trying to get their people out into the streets, and there's this really lethargic kind of Movement about the resistance where we just cannot pour out into the streets. | ||
| I mean, Matt Drudge a long time ago warned about getting out of our internet ghettos right on the show. | ||
| And if we stay in our internet ghettos out here, you know, all these little, you know, Twitter or whatever, you know, they're just going to continue to censor us, shadow ban us, and keep us in our bubble. | ||
| And they're going to pick us off one by one. | ||
| If we don't get out here in these streets en masse, we're done. | ||
| And that's the end of the story, guys. | ||
| We've got to start getting this resistance out into the streets. | ||
| And we really need to be protesting issues that matter, like things like the central bank digital currency. | ||
| And we really need to get people to come to Christ because time is running out before this rapture. | ||
| We need to be harvesting souls, gathering these souls up to get ready for the rapture because I think I'm going to go. | ||
| I mean, obviously there's a major spiritual element to all of this, but when it comes to getting out on the street, I mean, obviously January 6th put a big old wet blanket on any attempts for the right wing to gather because people are scared that if they show up and the police cause violence and suddenly they're in jail for 20 years for, you know, having been a victim of it. | ||
| Which is troubling. And then, you know, we've talked about it a lot here, the idea of things like protests and boycotts that are supposed to be, and ostensibly they're, you know, ground up from the bottom up, uprisings of normal citizens standing up. | ||
| But the way protests work now is if you're on the left wing, your protest is organized and basically just a... | ||
| Oftentimes you're paid to be there. | ||
| You're paid to be there. It's an excuse. | ||
| They're going to do what they want anyway, and they just want people out to give it the veneer of legitimacy by saying, look, these people are demanding this. | ||
| That's why we're doing it. Whereas the right wing can come out in a force of millions and protest something very legitimate, and it gets completely buried or called domestic terror. | ||
| But getting people on the street, Chase, what's your take on that? | ||
| I have mixed feelings about it. | ||
| I really appreciate the sentiment of the caller. | ||
| It's unfortunate that as human beings, psychologically, we're more wired to feel the impact when we see thousands of people physically in a place. | ||
| But I would argue that in terms of how our elections are done now and how information is done now and how politics is manipulated now, it's actually mostly taking place in cyberspace. | ||
| And so when I see things like 70 million impressions on Alex Jones' account and I see him get a million followers in seven days when Nikki Haley's been on the platform for five years and she's only got a million followers. | ||
| He had a million additional followers in seven days. | ||
| I see that there's actually... | ||
| Great Awakening happening. | ||
| These rallies are happening. | ||
| These massive movements are happening. | ||
| They're just happening in the cyber sphere. | ||
| And psychologically, we don't see the impact of that like we see when we see Palestinian sympathizers in the streets by the thousands all over major cities all over the world. | ||
| That's like, whoa, as human beings, that's a large group of people. | ||
| I'm threatened or I'm vulnerable to a large group of people because our tribal instincts are very defensive when we see large numbers of people for a political cause. | ||
| But I think that We shouldn't underestimate the power of keyboard warriors. | ||
| I know that used to be sort of slang term that you'd use to disparage somebody that was, you know, sort of fat living in their parents' basement. | ||
| But that's how 2008 was won for Obama. | ||
| It was keyboard warriors and social media 2016's keyboard warriors. | ||
| And I think this time it's going to be keyboard warriors. | ||
| That's why they're trying to come after Musk so much because they know the power of X. Here's the other... | ||
| Let's take it back to the biggest right-wing protest before January 6th. | ||
| It was in Richmond, Virginia about the gun control measures and it was like tens of thousands of gun owners taking their guns to the streets to demand that that not be passed. | ||
| And I remember I was there and we were there and it was... | ||
| 10,000 gun owners all gathered up demanding that their rights be preserved. | ||
| And you could see, because it's a hill up to the Capitol there in Richmond, you could see the people looking down at all the people gathered there with their guns, right? | ||
| Like, not exactly a subtle sort of implication of what happens if you try to take our guns. | ||
| They passed it anyway. They saw this and they were standing up at the Richmond courthouse laughing at the people below, went inside, passed it anyway, and basically, I don't know if you want to say called the bluff, but nothing happened. | ||
| And, you know, that protest essentially came to nothing because they passed the rule anyway. | ||
| So it's almost like, I don't know. | ||
| I want people on the street. | ||
| I want people talking. | ||
| I want people getting involved and making an impact in the physical sphere. | ||
| But that's got to be in addition to people working behind the scenes, people filing lawsuits, people working the system, getting in positions of power to actually set things right. | ||
| It's got to be in addition. | ||
| It can't just be we go out, we protest, nothing changes, we go home, feel like we did something. | ||
| Nobody ever changes their mind because of a protest. | ||
| Nobody really gets bullhorned into changing positions. | ||
| Politicians don't ever listen to protests. | ||
| All protests are really good for, in my opinion, are making the general public aware of the amount of support behind a specific cause. | ||
| So you might think something's unpopular, then you see tens of thousands of people on the street, and you're like, whoa, I was wrong. | ||
| It's actually very popular. That's one thing that's very common with communist regimes, is that no one within the regime, like China or Russia or Soviet Union, knows whether or not their neighbor is actually a friend of the state. | ||
| And they can't talk about it because the risk is too high that if they say anything antagonistic toward the state that they could get ratted out or whatever. | ||
| And so there's this false sort of confirmation bias where you think that everybody disagrees with you because you're not allowed to talk with anybody about what's going on. | ||
| And that's the benefit of a protest. | ||
| That's why it's important to have the right to protest so that the public can be aware of what everybody else is actually thinking. | ||
| It's like a form of Yeah. | ||
| Right? But it's not actually to impact change. | ||
| But what I think the power really is is in using technology and the cybersphere to actually change minds. | ||
| Because you can't change somebody's mind by beating them in an argument. | ||
| You can't threaten them. | ||
| You can't force yourself upon them. | ||
| You can only change and manipulate somebody's mind, in my opinion, by constantly influencing them with information that is not in an unfriendly way. | ||
| And eventually, once you hear the gospel enough times, you're going to find Christ. | ||
| Right. It doesn't happen by somebody coming over to your house and forcing you to get baptized. | ||
| It doesn't happen by mass protests outside your house telling you Jesus Christ is real. | ||
| It happens because you see things here and there, maybe over years, and eventually, like, you know what, I think I believe in Jesus. | ||
| I've had major changes in my life, whether religious, philosophical, political, what have you. | ||
| But they happen over years. | ||
| And it's because of no one had an agenda to change my mind. | ||
| It was just information that I took in. | ||
| So we have to be the proponents of that type of messaging and information where we're constantly doing things like sharing InfoWars articles and clips and messages out that go viral because people are going to switch without us actually trying to instantly do it in some sort of a debate fashion. | ||
| They're going to switch because they're going to get touched by the truth so many times. | ||
| We're just here, you know, if all they're getting is mainstream media and they perceive like all Trump supporters are just like redneck, whatever. | ||
| But then you see like a smart, articulate guy that you like in general. | ||
| You know, that's why celebrity endorsements are so valuable and the Democrats have identified how valuable that is, which is why they've sort of cornered the market on that. | ||
| Because that has, I think, has a huge, huge impact is just seeing people speaking. | ||
| Openly about, you know, beliefs that are supposed to be foreboding and then, you know, other people hear that and they go, oh, it's okay to believe that? | ||
| Oh, I can actually express that and not have to hide this belief? | ||
| And you see that by example. | ||
| So I think you're right. | ||
| So I'm not saying don't—I think we should be protesting. | ||
| I think we should be on the streets. | ||
| That's just got to be an addition to everything else that we need to be doing right now. | ||
| All right, ladies and gentlemen, final segment with Chase Geyser here on The American Journal. | ||
| I really have done a poor job plugging it today, which is not a way to have a Merry Christmas, folks. | ||
| Oh, look at that. A snowball fight going on. | ||
| Oh, you hit the camera. That's a good arm there, Matt. | ||
| You got Reese and Sean and CJ and Dan, all the boys having a little snowball fight in the control room. | ||

| But I was talking to my friend about it and he was scrolling through TikTok and he found one of my videos. | ||
| A video, when I uploaded to TikTok, got struck immediately. | ||

| I really want to go to Jared. | ||
| You want to go to Jared? Yeah. All right, we're going to Jared. | ||
| Jared called in. His topic is two words, kill box. | ||
| I don't even know what that means. Exclamation, exclamation. | ||
| I like the sound of it, Jared. | ||
| You're on the air. Hey, you guys. | ||
| You hear me loud and clear? We hear you well. | ||
| Thanks for calling in. Right, yeah. | ||

I've been in Colorado since 97, you know. | |
| I've been handed out flyers for bands forever. | ||
| If we want to change the way people think, it's grassroots promotion. | ||
| You've got to make posters and flyers and get on Main Street and hand them out. | ||
| I've been thinking about shooting up Main Street about 3 in the morning with my Knot mask on and sticking stickers to say Info Wars all over every window on a Thursday night or on a Friday night so everybody sees a Saturday morning. | ||
| But this is stuff I've been doing. | ||
| I made cards three years ago right away when COVID came out. | ||
| I've been looking at this like, how do you change people's mind? | ||
| I've talked to everybody. | ||
| I was in a lot of music. | ||
| Talked to thousands and thousands of people. | ||
| And they just don't want the information to ruin their good day, man. | ||
| We've been too pampered. | ||
| I'm not sure people will step out. | ||
| I wish the people would. | ||
| But anyway, that's my point on that. | ||
| We need a million people on the street handing out flyers and posters with bullhorns to make a difference. | ||
| You know, there's a reason that they are so scared of memes, right? | ||
| I mean, when you think of a meme, it's a powerful, a potent idea in a funny context, in a context that doesn't assault you with the information. | ||
| It eases you into it with humor. | ||
| And obviously they're so effective online, but I think they can be just as effective in real life. | ||
| And you know that the grandma down the street, she's not cruising on right-wing Twitter, right? | ||
| She's not seeing the stuff that we're seeing. | ||
| So you have a good meme you think is effective at changing minds, print it out and post it somewhere. | ||
| I think, you know, these little information, little information hand grenades need to be spread. | ||
| Information, I said, informational, metaphorical hand grenades need to be thrown everywhere. | ||
| They need to be exploding everywhere. | ||
| Chase, what are your thoughts on that? Yeah, I agree. | ||
| I'm always reluctant about the street activism because I wonder how much it works. | ||
| My wife and I were walking down Congress Avenue last week, and we passed one of these nice, young, leftist college ladies. | ||
| He's like, do you care about the environment? | ||
|

|
I just go, no! Which I'm sure she hadn't heard all day. | |
| But it's difficult. | ||
| And I know I have a close friend, John, who's a very talented financial advisor. | ||
| And he's very good at it because he's good at selling because he sold Bibles and encyclopedias door-to-door in college in the summers as his summer job to pay for college. | ||
| Wow, and he's 100 years old? | ||
| No, he's just like 10 years older than us, but he did it. | ||
| He was one of those guys. And if you can sell somebody religion or the most boring book on earth, the encyclopedia... | ||
| At their door when they don't want to be bothered for like $100. | ||
| Right. Right? And they're usually knocking on kind of poor communities, people at home. | ||
| Then you can sell them on anything. | ||
| That's a great way to think about it. Like salesmen for the truth. | ||
| Yeah. You have to sell the gospel. | ||
| You have to sell the good news. And that's one of the things that's so impressive about the Mormons. | ||
| That's why so many Mormons are so good at sales is because they have to do that. | ||
| Right, right. That part of their faith where they try to evangelize. | ||
| Yeah. And if you get past that approach anxiety that's associated with knocking on strangers' doors, then you can really be a dynamo in terms of changing minds. | ||
| Right. And even if you get 99 no's, that one yes is incredibly valuable. | ||
| Right. Very interesting. | ||
|

|
Yeah. I've handed out a ton of flyers, made stickers and cards and all that stuff. | |
| And I'm still working it. | ||
| I posted thousands of your news articles. | ||
| I am super on this. | ||
| I know what's up. Anyway, but I wanted the kill box subject. | ||
| If you would like, I figured it out. | ||
| I've been really researching them, really working the problem here. | ||
| And if you want it, global depopulation is the big plan. | ||
| We've got to look at it. The shots, the chemtrails, all that stuff. | ||
| Their big plan is global depopulation. | ||
| Well, what would be the most efficient way for the Americas? | ||
| Well, you would tell everybody in South America, go to North America, and you'd empty the prisons of the people you don't want down in South America, and you'd empty all of the insane asylums, and then you'd send all the mercenaries from South America and everywhere else. | ||
| You would do exactly what they're doing now, Jared, is what you're saying. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. You'd send everybody to America, and then... | |
| Turn off the power and shut off the supplies, and then you get rid of that whole mass of mercenaries, poor people, insane asylums, prison people, everybody, all these people they deem tough to deal with, who's going to hate America and fight us all. | ||
| And they just put us all here, because my Kim, we've had the worst Kim trail this last week than ever. | ||
| Ever. And today's just horrible. | ||
| And I had a friend that I met from Maui. | ||
| And she was from Maui. | ||
| And I met her in Colorado. | ||
| And she moved back to Maui right before the fires, right? | ||
| She said all the locals were standing on the beach looking at the chemtrails. | ||
| I've never seen anything like it. | ||
| The sky was so gray. | ||
| They've been ramping that up across the entire nation. | ||
| I know, and I think you're right. | ||
| I mean, that's the thing, right? | ||
| If you sit there and picture, okay, if an evil cabal of murderous psychopaths ran the world, how would they run it? | ||
| And you realize it's literally exactly what's happening, which leads you to one inevitable conclusion. | ||
| That's exactly the situation. | ||
| It's funny you mentioned the... | ||
| It's funny Chase mentioned the... | ||
| Leftists that are out there trying to get you to recycle or whatever. | ||
| I literally had that exact same experience the other day walking down South Congress. | ||
| It may have been the same person. | ||
| And I had another sort of experience where it's like I wasn't abrasive. | ||
| It was more just like I just laughed at her and she laughed back, right? | ||
| She's like, oh, you look like somebody who recycles. | ||
| And I just laughed and was just like, no way, man. | ||
| That's all a scam. You don't know that? | ||
| It's a scam. And she just laughed. | ||
| I feel like if you just like You can tell these people, like, oh, everything you believe is a lie, actually. | ||
| But if you do it, like, laughing, and you're not, like, condemning, no, that's, recycling is a scam! | ||
| If you're just like, that's a scam, dude, you don't know that? | ||
| You don't know that whole thing's a big scam? | ||
| And they laugh back and go, oh, well, maybe, I don't know. | ||
| I was thinking about this, because there's always people trying to organize debates on spaces or podcasts, whether it's Destiny or whoever. | ||
| Let's get together, let's have a debate. | ||
| Nick Fuentes is famous for appearing in debates. | ||
| But I can't think of an occasion, a famous occasion, where somebody just got their butt kicked in a debate and actually changed their position as a result. | ||
| Actually, you bring up Nick Fuentes. Charlie Kirk has made quite big alterations to his worldview. | ||
| Not because of debates, but because he was confronted at question and answer sessions with questions he couldn't answer. | ||
| It was people saying, you know, why should we be giving our money to a foreign nation? | ||
| Because Charlie Kirk was like... | ||
| If you don't support Israel, you're not a patriot. | ||
| But there's people going up and going, that doesn't make any sense. | ||
| And he was sort of embarrassed so badly that now he's basically completely changed his position on it. | ||
| So it can happen. Maybe public embarrassment is the key. | ||
| Yeah, I saw this clip from this podcast just the other day and I only got a minute left. | ||
| But it was this woman on the whatever podcast, at whatever on Twitter. | ||
| We played that yesterday. The clip of the misogynist. | ||
| Yeah, where she just broke down and started crying. | ||
| Yeah, and it's just the cognitive dissonance. | ||
| But you can't fix that person. | ||
| They have to accept Christ themselves. | ||
| Right, exactly. You can't just throw the holy water on them. | ||
| So, I don't know. We just have to have a culture where people are willing to change their mind, even if it's uncomfortable, if the truth prevails. | ||
| And you know what? If that means we have to make it easy for them to change their mind by not... | ||
| Approaching them with the aggression that perhaps we feel they deserve. | ||
| Whatever it takes to win this information war, because obviously, without the information war, it's real war. | ||
| You're not going to throw snowballs at us, are you? | ||
| Alright folks, that's going to do it for us. | ||
