| This report is based on a recent thread by Kim.com that I believe is important for people to be aware of. | ||
| Last June, puppet President Volodymyr Zelensky warned the public that Russia was planning to attack the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine. | ||
| There is now talk in Kiev that the real president of Ukraine, Victoria Nuland, has become so desperate for NATO troops to enter Ukraine and continue this U.S. proxy war against Russia that she is willing to murder innocent locals with a radioactive cloud and blame it on Russian forces. | ||
| And if you know about Victoria Nuland and the government she works for, then this is absolutely a possibility. | ||
| Independent journalist Gonzalo Lira, who was arrested and left to die in his jail cell by Newland's forces, did an excellent job describing Victoria Newland and the United States agenda in Ukraine. | ||
| I highly recommend watching the entire thing. | ||
| But here is my short edit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Victoria Nuland is carrying out a policy which is very, very, very simple. | |
| The American foreign policy goal is to have a weak and preferably divided Russia, a Russia like the good old days in the 90s. | ||
| Because in the 90s, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States was able to enter Russia Russia and exploit it to a degree that is unprecedented. | ||
| Ukraine, since 1991, the collapse of the Soviet Union, has been a cesspool of Western corruption. | ||
| Oligarchs were not only allowed to rise, but were in fact encouraged to rise by the Western powers, in particular the United States, because the United States figured that by way of these oligarchs, These countries could be controlled. | ||
| If Russia was corrupt, if Ukraine was corrupt, it would be easy for Western interests to go into these countries and steal. | ||
| When Putin arose, the people in the West thought, oh, he's one of our guys. | ||
| But what they discovered, to their dismay, was that when Putin took power in roughly 1999, he cut a deal with his oligarchs. | ||
| You stay out of politics and I'll stay out of your grift. | ||
| But what happened was that slowly over the years, Putin started edging out the oligarchs. | ||
| And even as he put in his own oligarchs, he started making those oligarchs smaller and weaker, which is what he's been doing for the past 23 years. | ||
| Had Putin not existed in Russia, Russia That would be what Ukraine is today. | ||
| Americans started realizing this in the late 2000s, early 2010s. | ||
| They started realizing that Putin was subtly resisting them, resisting their attempts to turn Russia into a whore. | ||
| These Ukrainian extremists, they hate ethnic Russians. | ||
| And that fits very neatly with Newland. | ||
| Because Newland, throughout her career, she has always allied herself with groups that were... | ||
| Extremely antagonistic towards Russians. | ||
| She's always allied herself with people who hate Russians. | ||
| When the Maidan revolution started, she supported the right sector. | ||
| She micromanaged the Maidan revolution, and that implicated her. | ||
| When Poroshenko came to power, the next president, she made sure that that government abused the Russians. | ||
| And of course, she made sure that the Ukrainian army started getting seriously supplied with weapons, and she used that Ukrainian army, and she micromanaged this, to attack the Donbas. | ||
| You have to understand that in a very real sense, Victoria Nuland has been president Of Ukraine since 2014. | ||
| And so the weapons flowed into Ukraine from starting in 2014 after the coup d'etat. | ||
| She brought in the weapons. | ||
| She's like the nexus of all these different interests that want to exploit Ukraine and use Ukraine to attack Russia. | ||
| With the ultimate goal of breaking up Russia and bringing back the good old days of the 90s, the good old days for the Westerners, the very, very bad old days for the Russians. | ||
| The Russians don't want a repeat of the 90s. | ||
| That was traumatic for them, as it would for any country. | ||
| Word on the street is that the current commander-in-chief of Ukrainian forces isn't up for the task of attacking their own nuclear power plant. | ||
| And so Nuland is looking to replace him with Budinov, who will become the next Zelensky if he commits this war crime for the U.S. State Department. | ||
| If these rumors are being considered by Russia, you can expect a major push to take control of Ukraine before it's too late. | ||
| Greg Reese reporting. | ||
| That is the latest from Greg Reese. | ||
| Find and share it at band.video. | ||
| And of course, in a five-minute report, you can really just barely scratch the surface. | ||
| I suggest just going to Victoria Newland's Wikipedia page and start clicking around. | ||
| See what you find. It's horrifying. | ||

It's Tuesday, January 23rd in the year of 2024. | |
| And you're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
| Watch it live right now at band.video. | ||
| Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Welcome to The American Journal. | ||
| I am your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
| Very happy to be with you here this Tuesday morning. | ||
| Can't believe it's only Tuesday. | ||

It's been a long week already for yours truly. | |
| I was up late last night doing a podcast. | ||
| I don't know if I can tell you about it. | ||
| InfoWars is coming out with a new podcast. | ||
| Let's just say that. | ||
| It'll be dropping within the next couple of weeks. | ||
| So it was very fun, but I was up very late. | ||
| And then, of course, doing the Sunday night show before this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's been a long week. | |
| A lot of news. | ||
| We got a lot of stories to get to, a lot of videos to go to as well. | ||
| I don't know how we're going to jam them all in here because we will be joined by Brandon Weikert in the next hour, the 9 o'clock hour. | ||
| We'll be joined by him to talk about some of the goings on geopolitically. | ||
| And then, of course, we are simulcasting live. | ||
| We're doing a little bit different today. | ||
| The Twitter spaces. | ||
| We are live on spaces. | ||
| If you're hearing me now on Twitter spaces. | ||
| Hello. | ||
| Welcome. | ||
| Stay tuned because we are going to go out to spaces and phone calls in the third hour. | ||
| But until then, enjoy this Twitter space as a podcast until then. | ||
| But if you want to talk, you can go ahead and leave a comment, request to speak, and we will go out to Twitter spaces later in the show. | ||
| And who knows, maybe if we have a special appearance in the Twitter space by a friend of the show, we can jump over to them on a moment's notice. | ||
| But we're doing a little bit differently today. | ||
| Up till now, we've been hosting them on my Twitter account at Harrison H. Smith, and I've been running it. | ||
| But today we've got Chase in the control room running the space from the Infowars accounts. | ||
| So if you want to follow on Spaces and participate in the conversation there, again, that is the beautiful part of Spaces is that you can actually, you know, you've been leaving comments. | ||
| It works like a comment section or a live comment section for a live stream. | ||
| So anything I talk about you want to add to or provide links for or whatever, you can participate by going and following at InfoWars. | ||
| Or you can find it, I'm co-hosting it at Harrison H. Smith. | ||
| And if you do want to talk, again, leave a comment about what you want to talk about and request to speak, and then we'll bring you on again in the third hour. | ||
| But this first hour, we're going to try to show you a lot of videos, talk about this, the breaking news over the last 24 hours, some very interesting developments around the world, and then Brandon Weikert in the next hour. | ||
| But let's just get into it, shall we? | ||
| Oh, here it is, your Daily Dispatch. | ||
| All right, here it is, folks, your Daily Dispatch for Tuesday, the 23rd of January, 2024. | ||
| 24. more. | ||
| Supreme Court allows Border Patrol agents to remove razor wire Texas installed at Mexico border. | ||
| A closely divided Supreme Court on Monday allowed Border Patrol agents to cut through or move razor wire Texas installed on the U.S.-Mexico border as part of the state's effort to prevent illegal border crossings. | ||
| The court, on a 5-4 vote, granted an emergency request filed by the Biden administration which had argued that Texas was preventing agents from carrying out their duties. | ||
| What is there even to say about this? | ||
| Obviously the correct response, in my opinion, is the same response that Andrew Jackson gave to the Supreme Court when they decided against him. | ||
| And it was, that was the Supreme Court's decision. | ||
| Now let them enforce it. | ||
| In other words, yeah, I'm just going to keep doing this. | ||
| I'm just going to keep doing, we're just going to keep defending our border. | ||
| That should be the correct answer. | ||
| This makes no sense. | ||
| This is ridiculous. | ||
| It was Amy Coney Barrett, I believe, as well as Roberts, who went with the leftists on this one. | ||
| A brief order noted that four conservative members of the nine-justice court would have rejected the government's request. | ||
| They were Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh. | ||
| The Biden administration says the wire prevents agents from reaching migrants who have already crossed over the border into the U.S., Okay, well that sounds like you should have an order to move the wire closer then. | ||
| I mean, that should be the order. The order should be that you should move the wire maybe to the Mexico side of the border. | ||
| And then make Mexico come try to remove the razor wire. | ||
| A White House spokesperson on Monday said, Texas's political stunts, like protecting the border, you know, these political stunts, like doing the basic function of government, So this is a political stunt apparently. | ||
| Texas political stunts like placing raise wire near the border simply make it harder and more dangerous for frontline personnel to do their jobs, to invade America, to participate in and facilitate the human trafficking network that is currently swamping every city in America. | ||
| Including Chicago and New York, as well as of course everywhere in Texas. | ||
| Again, I mean we can just go on and on about the absurdity of all of this. | ||
| Suffice it to say that it's pretty amazing. | ||
| It's pretty amazing how quickly the government can act. | ||
| When it's in their own interests. | ||
| And it's the case of all bureaucracies. | ||
| If you want to do something, it's red tape and precedent and bureaucratic things, you know, limitations that are in the way. | ||
| But then the people operating the bureaucracy want something done All of that seems to go away. | ||
| It all dissolves into the air as they just do whatever, whenever, with extreme rapidity. | ||
| So typically, Supreme Court case, you're talking about months down the line. | ||
| You're talking about some will get to this sometime next year if we can squeeze it in. | ||
| But when it's the Biden administration desperately trying to continue the overwhelming invasion at our southern border, Well, they get a decision the next day. | ||
| Isn't that something? And again, we'll touch on this a little bit later. | ||
| People commenting on it, the story at Infowars. | ||
| This is not over. Governor Abbott vows to defend Texas' sovereignty after U.S. Supreme Court sanctions invasion. | ||
| And that's the right way to put it. | ||
| They have approved the invasion. | ||
| They've said that, according to the federal government, Texas is not allowed to defend its own border. | ||
| It has to remain open. | ||
| For the federal operation of bringing in millions upon millions of people from every country in the world. | ||
| Insane. Completely insane. | ||
| Abbott said, Does that mean he's not allowing them to cut the wire? | ||
| That's what that would mean. | ||
| If he was really actually intending to fulfill such a strident statement, then he should fight back. | ||
| And what does that mean if he says, we will continue to defend our border, but we are going to let them come and cut the razor wire? | ||
| I mean, that makes no sense. Likewise, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton noted the Supreme Court's temporary order allows Biden to continue his illegal effort to aid the foreign invasion of America, saying in full, quote, The Supreme Court's temporary order allows Biden to continue his illegal effort to aid the foreign invasion of America. | ||
| The destruction of Texas's border barriers will not help enforce the law or keep American citizens safe. | ||
| This fight is not over, and I look forward to defending our state's sovereignty. | ||
| Yeah, again, we'll get into this a little bit later. | ||
| Tucker Carlson made a tweet about this that we'll get into and respond to and understand that the solution to this is a political one in that if the right political leader was governor, was in the place of commander-in-chief of the Texas National Guard, They could just give the order to not allow this, and the Supreme Court can say whatever the hell they want. | ||
| If they're not willing to send federal agents to actually physically, bodily fight the Texas National Guard, then they'll succeed. | ||
| The Texas National Guard can just shut the border, and the orders would be perfectly lawful. | ||
| You'd say, go defend the border, arrest trespassers, Put them through deportation processing. | ||
| But defend the border. | ||
| Don't let anybody cross. | ||
| Erect the razor wire. | ||
| And if anybody tries to interrupt you, they are getting in the way of and preventing the lawful execution of an order, or the execution of a lawful order, and they should be arrested and charged. | ||
| Doesn't matter if they're The Border Patrol agents that are doing it, that doesn't matter. | ||
| Just because somebody's a cop doesn't mean you don't arrest them. | ||
| If they show up at a crime scene and start destroying evidence, it doesn't matter if they're a cop, right? | ||
| It doesn't matter if their lieutenant said, oh, go cover this crime up. | ||
| Go help the criminals, you know, perpetrate this. | ||
| It doesn't matter if they're in uniform. | ||
| It doesn't matter if they're told to do this by the authorities above them. | ||
| They're engaged in a criminal activity, aiding and abetting The breaking of the law, and they should be arrested as well. | ||
| And again, if the feds want to fight the Texas National Guard, they can start it. | ||
| But I saw people, again, we'll have to save it for later, because the whole Tucker Carlson conversation Where he says, should we just get into it now? | ||
| We'll talk about it in a second, because we'll finish up the Daily Dispatch first. | ||
| But people are acting like the Texas National Guard is just going to spontaneously decide on its own volition to fight the federal government. | ||
| It's like, that's not going to happen. | ||
| That's never going to happen. This is sort of the... | ||
| It's sort of the damned if you do, damned if you don't, two-sided sword between a rock and a hard place kind of situation we find ourselves in because our military is extremely capable, obviously, but also extremely honorable and loyal and obedient. | ||
| So they're not about to disobey orders, even if it means, you know, defending the border as is obviously said. | ||
| They're directed to by the law. | ||
| They're not going to do that independently. | ||
| They're going to follow orders. | ||
| They're going to stick to the chain of command. | ||
| They're going to try to carry out the objectives that they're given from their superiors. | ||
| So it's like... | ||
| It's almost like if we were just a... | ||
| If we were just a Wild West anarchy... | ||
| Yeah, maybe battalions of men would just go... | ||
| Ah, screw you. We're going to go defend the border. | ||
| That's not going to happen nowadays. | ||
| Because... Our guys are too good. | ||
| Our boys are too... We're good to go. | ||
| That's not a despicable coward. | ||
| Moving on, U.S. and U.K. launch fresh strikes on Houthis in Yemen. | ||
| The U.S. and U.K. have conducted a fresh series of joint airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen. | ||
| The Pentagon said Monday's strikes hit eight targets, including an underground storage site and Houthi missile and surveillance capability. | ||
| The Iran-backed Houthis have been targeting ships, they say, are linked to Israel in the West as they travel through the important Red Sea trade route. | ||
| A joint statement issued by the Pentagon confirmed an additional round of proportionate and necessary strikes against the Houthis. | ||
| Now, obviously, there's an aspect of this being just far away in a country that probably 90% of Americans couldn't even locate on a map. | ||
| And so it just seems, and we're not getting video of the strikes, you know, on the ground, so it just sort of seems like something that I guess is happening somewhere else and it doesn't really matter. | ||
| But just taking this story and the last story, I guess this is the precedent. | ||
| Again, we're dealing with precedents being set here. | ||
| I think this is exactly the type of bombing campaign that That should be done at the Mexico border. | ||
| I don't see why not. | ||
| Obviously you don't have to get congressional approval. | ||
| Obviously, you don't have to, you know, debate this in the public with the American people. | ||
| You don't have to weigh pros and cons and, you know, get some sort of authorization for military force. | ||
| Apparently, the president can just sort of do this. | ||
| So I'm excited for Trump to get into office and just sort of do this against Mexican cartels. | ||
| Wouldn't that be fun? Wouldn't that be nice? | ||
| Wouldn't it be fun to, you know, the U.S. has carried out airstrikes against enemy forces in Piedra Negra or whatever. | ||
| A joint statement issued by the Pentagon's confirm an additional round of proportionate and necessary strikes against the cartels. | ||
| It'd be nice. Like, it's just that you use the same language, the same actions. | ||
| It's just the difference would be, for one thing, it would be closer in, you know, it'd be people, you know, within eyesight of... | ||
| The American border. | ||
| So it's, you know, for the sheep out there who probably don't even know we're bombing Yemen, like they don't give a damn. | ||
| It would be very scary for them and they would be very mad that this is happening in their awareness, you know, so they wouldn't like that. | ||
| But, you know, it could be effective. | ||
| It could be efficient. | ||
| We could secure the border, stop the invasion. | ||
| So the difference between what we're doing with the Yemenis in the Houthis in Yemen is And bombing the Mexican cartels is one of those has to do with American sovereignty and national security. | ||
| And the other one is bombing the Houthis. | ||
| Moving on, Nikki Haley sweeps the first New Hampshire primary votes in Midnight Tradition. | ||
| I literally thought this was a joke when I first read it. | ||
| Because apparently the first place that votes in New Hampshire is called Dixville Notch. | ||
| Okay, that's what, as Dixville-Notch goes, so goes New Hampshire. | ||
| That's what former South Governor Nikki Haley will be hoping after the tiny village near the Canadian border carried on its five-decade-old tradition of midnight voting early Tuesday. | ||
| All six eligible voters in the precinct, four registered Republicans and two undeclared voters, pulled the lever for Haley, 52, who is desperate for a shock victory in the Granite State, to halt what many observers see as former President Trump's unstoppable march to the GOP nomination. | ||
| So I kind of love how it's like. | ||
| Nikki Haley sweeps the voting. | ||
| It's like, how many people voted? | ||
| Oh, six. She got six votes. | ||
| She got six votes in New Hampshire. | ||
| Oh, Trump's shaking in his boots now. | ||
| I mean, it is weird. | ||
| It is weird that she got one vote, so to get six out of six, there's something in the water in Dixville Notch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There is something weird with those people. | |
| You know, it's almost like one of those things where it's like a Groundhog's Day tradition where they see if, you know, if someone wins Dixville Notch that, you know, they'll close out the primaries. | ||
| They're the first to vote in New Hampshire. | ||
| I remember going there with Richard Reeves. | ||
| I don't think Trump... | ||
| Won Dixville Notch last time in 2016. | ||
| So last time he primaried in the state. | ||
| So is everybody else voting today and they just voted midnight? | ||
| Yeah, Dixville Notch is the first precinct to report for New Hampshire. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So yeah, everyone else is voting today. | |
| In 2016, Trump was edged out in Dixville Notch 3-2 by a high governor. | ||
| Oh, by John Kasich. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They always try to be edgy. | |
| They don't want to, you know, by not going with the populist candidate, right? | ||
| By not going with the most popular people, they're going to be edgy, right? | ||
| Like, oh yeah, we think this second place person is going to be great. | ||
| Yeah, Nikki Haley. | ||
| Wouldn't she be a breath of fresh air? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, when she drops out, we'll know that she's popular among six people, though. | |
| Yeah. Hey, maybe she can retire in Dixville. | ||
| Dixville Notch. Anyway, moving on. | ||
| In Gaza, 24 Israeli soldiers have been killed in the... | ||
| Don't you love the way CNN reports this? | ||
| This is the headline from CNN. Tell me if you see something wrong with this statement. | ||
| Gaza, 24 Israeli soldiers killed on deadliest day of the war. | ||
| Deadliest day of the war. | ||
| Deadliest day during Gaza conflict. | ||
| Does that mean that a whole bunch of people were bombed and 24 Israeli soldiers killed? | ||
| Or is this some sort of weird Talmudic reading of human life where it's like, 24 Israelis died. | ||
| It's the deadliest day of the Gaza conflict. | ||
| It's like, well, 200 Palestinians died yesterday. | ||
| And they're like, yeah, we know. | ||
| This is the first time that 24 human lives have been destroyed in Gaza since the fighting began. | ||
| It's a weird way to phrase it. | ||
| 24 Israeli soldiers killed on the deadliest day of the war for Israel. | ||
| For Israel is the part that they left off that because the deadliest day of the war for Gaza is hundreds of people dying all at once hundreds of innocent civilians dying so this wasn't the deadliest day of the war it was deadliest day of the war if you only consider Israeli soldiers to be human I mean it's just it's a weird thing for them to say 24 Israeli soldiers were killed during fighting in southern Gaza on Monday, | ||
| the military said, in the deadliest day for its troops inside the battered enclave since the war with Hamas began. | ||
| That's the correct way to put it, the deadliest day for its troops. | ||
| But again, it's just, I don't know, it's weird, man. | ||
| It's weird. You know, 10,000 children in 100 days, that's 100 children a day on average killed in Gaza. | ||
| So, on average, 100 children a day are killed by Israeli airstrikes and snipers and starvation and lack of nutrition and, you know, just disease and being trapped under rubble and suffocating to death. | ||
| So, not the deadliest day of the war, as every day has been five times as deadly as this day for the Gazans. | ||
| But if you only count Israeli soldiers as being human lives worthy of Noticing, then yes, this was the deadliest day in the Gaza War. | ||
| 21 soldiers were killed in one incident, removing structures and terrorist infrastructure, the IDF said in a statement, when a rocket-propelled grenade was fired towards a tank protecting the unit. | ||
| Two two-story buildings then collapsed following an explosion, which was likely caused by explosives that had been laid by the Israeli troops. | ||
| Uh-oh. Inside job. | ||
| It was an inside job. | ||
| Somebody got a kill streak on this one. | ||
| On Monday, the Hamas-controlled health ministry in Gaza said the number of Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza since October 7th has risen to 25,295 with at least 63,000 injuries recorded. | ||
| A tank attack came as Israel seemingly shifts into a new phase of fighting in the embattled enclave with the IDF pulling out some soldiers from Gaza and officials promising a less intense, more targeted approach. | ||
| Yeah, now that everything is gone, you have to actually target the few things that are left. | ||
| Maybe that's what they mean. It's more targeted in the sense that we have to actually find the living beings within the rubble. | ||
| First we created the rubble, sort of a saturation campaign, genocide-style bombing, and now we have to go and find the survivors for elimination. | ||
| Incredible. And so, of course, they are... | ||
| Hamas is fighting back and hardly weakened at all and the entire campaign has done very little to diminish their fighting capabilities whatsoever because that was never the goal. | ||
| The killing of civilians and the creation of terror within the civilian population in order to drive them from the land to displace and displace them from Gaza to eventually annex it into Israel has always been the primary intention of this military operation and That's that. | ||
| Finally, we have this. And what's interesting about this, | ||
| obviously lots and lots and lots of companies have fled areas of California because of the rampant, uncontrolled, unrestrained even crime that has made continuing business there untenable. | ||
| But In-N-Out is sort of the first one to just directly lay it at the feet of the Democrats and say, this is your fault. | ||
| It's the crime. | ||
| We can't handle the crime that you're creating. | ||
| So we're leaving now. | ||
| Other places will say, because of the changes to the economic circumstance, we've decided to, in and out, it's all the crime. | ||
| It's the crime and the criminals and the crazy leadership that's on their side and not ours. | ||
| So we're leaving now. | ||
| Goodbye. Sorry about taking away all of the incredibly high-paying and comfortable jobs, but you can't have nice things when you're run by criminals. | ||
| Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| This is the American Journal. Thanks so much for joining us. | ||
| If you're joining us on Spaces, make sure you request to speak if you want to, but we are not going to be opening up the floor to other speakers until the third hour, doing things a little bit differently today. | ||
| But you can go follow the at Infowars account for Spaces, which I just think is, if anything, just a convenient way to listen to the show. | ||
| You can just have it on the background as you peruse Twitter or go to other apps. | ||
| So just listen, tune in for now, and then we'll take your calls, take your Spaces requests. | ||
| A little bit later in the show, we'll be joined by Brandon Weikert in the next hour. | ||
| Talk about all sorts of geopolitical goings on. | ||
| I have a lot of videos I could go to. | ||
| Again, since we are going to be taking calls and since we'll be joined by Brandon Weikert, I'm just trying to figure out what I should, what's the most important things to cover since we're not going to have infinite time to get to all of it. | ||
| But I think for the sake of recapturing 2016 energy, we need to listen to Trump. | ||
| We need to hear from Trump. We need to receive the reports from our Commander-in-Chief. | ||
| Our General has given another speech. | ||
| And in case you missed it, it was very much in 2016 form. | ||
| Trump giving a rally in New Hampshire yesterday with Vivek Ramaswamy as well as a number of other conservatives from the state. | ||
| And, I mean, this partnership, Vivek and Trump, This is what we've needed. | ||
| This is what we've required. | ||
| I would love to see Vivek as the vice president. | ||
| I wouldn't put my money on it. | ||
| I wouldn't put my money on it. | ||
| Trump's probably going to be very strategic in his choice for vice president. | ||
| I think Ron DeSantis even has a better job, a better chance of getting the job than Vivek. | ||
| If you wanted to know my thoughts on it, that's the speculation. | ||
| Lots of people wondering about who the VP pick is going to be. | ||
| The most important decision that a candidate makes prior to the presidency. | ||
| As after all, they can't just be an accoutrement. | ||
| They can't just be an accessory. | ||
| Which I feel like is a lot of the ways people think about the VP, where it's like, well, Trump's a white man, so he better get a black guy or a woman to be vice president. | ||
| Because they're like the accessory. | ||
| He's got to like round out the outfit. | ||
| It's like, no, he's got to pick somebody who's ready at a moment's notice to step into the biggest job in the history of the world, president of the United States. | ||
| They cannot be chosen for their role. | ||
| Characteristics like gender or race. | ||
| That's unacceptable. | ||
| And maybe I'm unique or out of the ordinary in that, but I remember I was not a fan of McCain for a lot of reasons, right? | ||
| The warmongering, the In fact, he's John McCain. | ||
| There were a lot of reasons to not vote for John McCain. | ||
| But to me, what really put it over the top was when he picked Sarah Palin. | ||
| Because it was such an obvious and obviously cynical pandering choice. | ||
| So it's like, okay, here's the first and most important choice you're going to make as candidate. | ||
| And you decide to make that choice to pander to women. | ||
| To try to, again, cynically and stupidly get the women's vote. | ||
| Because women vote for women, I guess. | ||
| I mean, it's just... It's like, okay, if you're gonna... | ||
| Basically, you know, risk... | ||
| You're McCain. You're John McCain. | ||
| You're an old, crippled man. | ||
| You might not make it through the presidency. | ||
| So you're gonna stick us with Sarah Palin because you wanted to pander? | ||
| That's the choice you made? | ||
| It's like, okay, if that's the choice you make, then you can't be trusted to be making decisions for the nation. | ||
| Because you're going to make bad decisions. | ||
| So I wonder if other people feel similarly. | ||
| Where it's like, if you're going to make this incredibly important decision, in other words, making the decision of who may very well be the President of the United States should something happen to you, and you're going to just try to, like, do it to scrounge up a few more votes, well, then you can't be trusted with these big decisions. | ||
| So I hope Trump makes a good decision. | ||
| I hope he picks somebody that we would be happy with having as our president. | ||
| So let's go to some of these clips of President Trump. | ||
| We'll go to clip 15 first. | ||
| Trump in his element. | ||
| I'm talking about how much he loves Vivek. | ||
| Let's watch. And this I do for Vivek, because he's very big into it. | ||
| I happen to agree with him, but he said, could you mention this? | ||
| I will never... She said, I love Vivek. | ||
| I love him too now. | ||
| I didn't love him when he was running, but I like him now. | ||
| It's amazing the way you can like somebody when you win, right? | ||
| LAUGHTER But Vivek is great. | ||
| He's really great. But he wanted this, and I'll give him full credit for it. | ||
| It's very important, actually. I will never allow the creation of a central bank digital currency. | ||
| I think we can all just give up a prayer of Thanksgiving that... | ||
| President Trump, but any presidential candidate in America would so forcefully go against one of the primary pillars of control that the global elites are trying to saddle on the people of the world. | ||
| It's strange that we're even at this point. | ||
| You never would have thought that the Infowars message would break through and that the globalist prison-planted designs It would become a main talking point of presidential candidacies. | ||
| But that's where we are now. | ||
| And I think Infowars can take a pretty large chunk of the credit for getting us to this point. | ||
| But of course, Vivek has his own, you know, I mean, he's the one. | ||
| He's the one that's doing this. And again, I really think that this is showing that the legal attacks against Trump are successfully distracting him from the most important topics. | ||
| And so now you've got Vivek in there. | ||
| Educating him on this stuff. | ||
| It's like Vivek can be the idea guy, he can be the planner, the operator behind the scenes, and Trump can be the orator and the head who takes the advice of his aide-de-camp, Vivek. | ||
| I mean, this is the... This is the couple. | ||
| This is the power couple that we need. | ||
| Here's clip 16. | ||
| President Trump is the anti-war candidate. | ||
| Again, he just talks about war in a way that sounds a hell of a lot more like an InfoWars program than an American president, at least any president in the recent past, and certainly very differently than the sort of neocon war is a grand adventure type of Talking points you get from the likes of Nikki Haley. | ||
| So here's President Trump showing once again he may be the only human in the race. | ||
| Let's watch. And by the way, now we're getting involved again in the Middle East. | ||
| Look what's happening. You're getting involved. | ||
| Here we go again with the Middle East. | ||
| We spent $9 trillion, killed millions of people, including our side, their side, millions of people. | ||
| $9 trillion. You know what we got? | ||
| Nothing. Nothing. What? | ||
| Nothing. You got death. You got blood. | ||
| You got nothing. | ||
| And it just, we spent our blood and our treasure, as they say. | ||
| Our blood and our treasure. | ||
| And our blood is more important than our treasure. | ||
| And it's a shame. It's a shame. | ||
| I beat ISIS. You're right. | ||
| Thank you for telling me that. | ||
| You're right. I was getting to that, but he's very good. | ||
| He's sharp this way. | ||
| Thank you. We did. | ||
| We beat the hell out of ISIS. It was supposed to take four to five years. | ||
| We got it done in four months, I'd say. | ||
| Four months. 100% of the ISIS caliphate. | ||
| Of course, ISIS is back now, and it's attacking Iran and Syria. | ||
| And that's all very suspicious. | ||
| Don't you love it though? We got nothing but death and blood. | ||
| We have to have him back. | ||
| We have to get him back. Please, for the love of God. | ||
| He's not somebody that's just like Nikki Haley. | ||

Just like, well, we gotta start another world war, everyone. | |
| Won't that be fun? | ||
| We're gonna make so much money. | ||
| Trump's like, what about the human beings? | ||
| What about the misery and the death and the chaos? | ||
| And the money. Like, what about all of the horrible things about war? | ||
| Anybody want to talk about that? | ||
| Again, he's like the only human that is running for president or even a politician. | ||
| We may go to more clips of that in just a second, but we've got a lot of other stories to go to as well. | ||
| Remember to go support us at Infowarsstore.com. | ||
| It's the only way that we get funding. | ||
| Infowarsstore.com. Stay tuned. | ||
| Quick commercial break, and we're back for our final segment of the 8 o'clock hour. | ||
| Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||

|
Here's what we're going to do on this episode of American Journal. | |
| We'll keep talking a little bit about domestic politics here. | ||
| Trump and respond to some left question that a leftist has for us about what it means to make America great again. | ||
| Some other interesting stories to get to here in this segment. | ||
| Then we'll be joined in the next hour by Brandon Weikert. | ||
| So I'm saving some of the topics about our upcoming world war and Israel and other stuff like that to discuss with him as we get into the whole geopolitical chess game being set up right now. | ||
| And then I think in the third hour we'll talk about The border. | ||
| That's the topic that will open up to spaces and ask what we should be doing to fix the border. | ||
| And we'll bring up what Tucker Carlson said about it yesterday and the response to him. | ||
| and there's a caravan that's going down to the border to try to draw attention to the catastrophe. | ||
| So we'll cover all that in the third hour and take your calls on that topic. | ||
| So if you are listening to us on Spaces, again, if you're just joining us, the Spaces is going to be closed. | ||
| It's just going to be sort of a podcast until the third hour, at which time we will open it up for other people to join in the conversation. | ||
| We'll do a little roundtable. | ||
| But we got Chase's there in the control room running the space from the InfoWars account and... | ||
| I assume, Chase, if you see a friend of the show pop up and want to say something, we can always cut in. | ||
| Because that's the fun part about spaces, is we'll get people who are guests of the shows maybe popping in and wanting to say something. | ||
| And that'll be very fun. Of course, you can comment on the show or share information about what topics that we're covering by commenting on the space itself. | ||
| And that also... We're good to go. | ||
| But let's get back to Donald Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy and the primary in New Hampshire and what is at stake here and who our opponents in this contest are. | ||
| I have like 10 videos of Trump just from yesterday. | ||
| Again, really... Embodying that 2016 energy that's been so lacking up until now. | ||
| And it's very fun to see. | ||
| And Vivek, of course, just is like a multiplier of this energy. | ||
| And it really is wonderful to see. | ||
| Let's go to clip number 19 here. | ||
| Trump masterclass. | ||
| He's going off on the left. | ||
| Let's watch. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. | ||
| They've only got 17 seconds to figure this whole thing out, right? | ||
| 17. Q. Okay. | ||
| Missile launch. And we don't have it here. | ||
| He's talking about building an iron dome for America. | ||
| But if there's one thing that can heal this nation... | ||
| There's one thing that can unite Americans across class, color, creed, income bracket. | ||
| It's Donald Trump doing sound effects. | ||
| I think that's the one thing we can all unite on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. | |
| Is hearing Donald Trump describe war with sound effects. | ||
| It's very funny. | ||
| And that's why people love him. | ||
| Let's go to a couple clips of Vivek here. | ||
| Clip number 20. Vivek, bring in the hopeful message that MAGA is really all about. | ||
| Let's watch. You guys do your part. | ||
| Come out on Tuesday night. | ||
| End this primary right here. | ||
| Off to defeat Joe Biden in November. | ||
| And our best days as a nation are still yet ahead of us. | ||
| Vote Trump, and that's how we do this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
God bless you and your families and our United States. | |
| Vote Trump. Welcome to my show! | ||
| You never were great. You never will be great. | ||
| And they think if they can convince enough Americans of this, they'll believe it, and then it will become true. | ||
| But it's a self-fulfilling prophecy, just like the inverse is a self-fulfilling prophecy. | ||
| If you believe that the greatness of America is not gone forever, why would it be? | ||
| This makes no sense. There's nothing about America right now and our situation that we find ourselves in as deplorable and despicable as it is. | ||
| The government opening the border and the economy being terrible. | ||
| As bad as that is, none of it's irreversible. | ||
| None of it is permanent. None of it is a matter of natural decline that can't be resisted. | ||
| You just change the policies. | ||
| You just stop doing the things that are deliberately destroying us. | ||
| We could be back on top in a week. | ||
| I'm serious. We'll go to a final clip here. | ||
| Again, Vivek spitting truth about how we are not in a political contest. | ||
| We are, in fact, smack dab in the modern form of war. | ||
| Let's watch. We're good to go. | ||
| And right now we need a commander-in-chief who will lead us to victory in this war. | ||
| That is this man standing right here. | ||
| He's exactly right. | ||
| And again, that needs to be the message. I mean, who would disagree with that? | ||
| Who would disagree with that? It's a message that every, you know, crimson socialist should be able to agree with. | ||
| We don't want to be ruled by an unelected, permanent, bureaucratic class. | ||
| Who are literal vampires in that they survive on the blood of innocent victims. | ||
| They survive on war. | ||
| War is their trade and their sustenance. | ||
| Who wants these people in charge? | ||
| It's about returning sovereignty not just to America as a nation, but to the people of America as the authorities in this country. | ||
| Who can disagree with this? | ||
| I'll tell you who. | ||
| I will show you who. | ||
| I want to go to clip number six, but I want to do something with this. | ||
| I want to play without audio first. | ||
| And I can tell you what she's saying. | ||
| I just want to show you who our enemies are. | ||
| Okay? We know who our enemies are. | ||
| Let's go to clip number six here, but let's play without the audio. | ||
| Let's bring the audio down. And you tell me, as you look at this woman, does she seem like a nice woman? | ||
| Does she seem like what she's saying is nice and kind and loving? | ||
| Or does she look like a condescending rat? | ||
| Does she look like a constipated rabbit? | ||
| These people are not healthy. | ||
| They're not happy. They're not good. | ||
| Here's what she's asking. And you can tell. | ||
| Just from the visual alone, you can tell what she's saying is condescending and probably stupid. | ||
| She's got what those in the medical industry call crazy eye. | ||
| She's got the crazy eye where you see the whites of the eye above the pupil. | ||
| It's what happens when it's like what you look for if a pit bull is about to attack. | ||
| You can tell it's condescending. | ||
| She is just exuding what I would call the Dolores Umbridge energy, right? | ||
| The condescending, smiling, hateful, bigoted, vicious sort of talking. | ||
| You see what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? | ||
| So you don't even need to hear what she's saying, right? | ||
| Think she's a loving, joyful person? | ||
| Or do you think she's a conniving, deeply unhappy human rat? | ||
| Just from her visuals and the crazy eye. | ||
| Let's hear what she's saying, though. | ||
| Let's listen to her for 14 seconds. | ||
| Clip number six. She's got a question for us Trumpers. | ||
| Well, she's going to stump us with this one. | ||
| What's she gonna ask? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I keep asking this question and none of you can answer it. | |
| We can't answer it. Not one of you. You just get on there and bark like Trumpers. | ||
| Oh yeah. When was America great? | ||
| I need clarification. | ||
| Thanks. Thanks. | ||
| Thanks. I need clarification. | ||
| Thanks. When was America ever great? | ||
| Can't answer it, can you? | ||
| Gee, I don't know. When was America ever great? | ||
| When was America ever great? | ||
| Gee, I mean, I guess it was when we won the Second World War with a nuclear bomb and were standing astride the entire... | ||
| Populated areas of the globe with dudes from Kansas and Ohio serving as supreme dictators in our conquered territory. | ||
| I guess it was when we landed on the frickin' moon, you know? | ||
| I guess it was when we had the highest standard of living and the highest community participation and the highest economy and are in control of the entire world. | ||
| When was America great? | ||
| If America's not great, nobody's ever been great. | ||
| If America wasn't great in the 50s and 60s, no one has ever been great ever, and greatness is an illusion. | ||
| America is great, you witch. | ||
| Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Second hour of The American Journal is on. | ||
| We'll be joined shortly by Brandon Weikert to talk about the geopolitical goings-on. | ||
| But stick to this question of when America was great. | ||
| When was America ever great? | ||
| Okay. Oh, what? | ||
| When black people had to drink out of different water fountains? | ||
| I guess that's... | ||
| It's better to not be able to drink out of a water fountain than not know who your father is. | ||
| That's the change we've made with the black community in this country. | ||
| Is that a great thing? | ||
| Have we done great things in the last 50 years? | ||
| Or has it been in a slow but... | ||
| Seemingly inevitable decline since the height of our power. | ||
| I mean, you realize that there were a couple years there where we had the nuclear bomb and nobody else did? | ||
| Do you get what that means? | ||
| I mean, think about this. | ||
| You want to talk about, like, the empire from Star Wars and the Death Star. | ||
| For years, America was the only superpower with the ability to... | ||
| Just erase entire cities with the press of a button. | ||
| And you know how great we are? | ||
| You know how great we were? | ||
| We didn't use it. | ||
| This is the greatness of America. | ||
| Not only did we have the technology to prevent the Soviet Union from ever getting the nuclear bomb. | ||
| If you have the nuclear bomb and nobody else does, you could, if you wanted, prevent anybody else from ever getting it. | ||
| Right? If the only... | ||
| Foreign government with the capability or the desire to get the nuclear bomb was Russia and we, I don't know, bombed them to hell with nuclear bombs. | ||
| They would never get it. America could have set itself up as the supreme power on earth forever with the secret of nuclear technology. | ||
| But you know how great we were? | ||
| We didn't do that. We didn't do that. | ||
| Instead, we actually tried to create a world that was free and free from war. | ||
| Where nuclear bombs wouldn't be necessary or where their attainment would mean greater peace as the fear of using nuclear bombs would prevent wider conflict. | ||
| It's almost impossible to overstate how great America was in the post-war years. | ||
| Landing on the moon, I guess, would be one thing, but that comes second to the quality of life The peace and prosperity that we enjoyed. | ||
| The fact that literally for decades we were the supreme authority in every land that had participated in World War II essentially. | ||
| I mean, it's such an asinine question, when was America great? | ||
| But I can actually show you. | ||
| I actually have footage. Let's go to clip number one. | ||
| You want to know when America was great? | ||
| It was when we made things like this. | ||
|

|
Let's watch. Someone is gonna say they want this. | |
| So this is a refrigerator from 1963 that still is in operation, still works, and still looks brand new with features that you can't find on modern refrigerators, primarily because it was made out of actual steel. | ||
| It was created in factories here in America. | ||
| Do you understand the civilizational attainment that's necessary for this quality of craftsmanship? | ||
| Pure steel, stainless steel, no plastic parts that'll just break right off. | ||
| Creating a kitchen appliance that operates for 60 years without breaking. | ||
| When people were paid fair wages for manufacturing before it had been offshore to China to save a couple bucks. | ||
| Somebody could afford appliances like this as well as a house and a car with one parent working and the other parent being a homemaker. | ||
| Is there anything greater than America Pre-globalism. | ||
| There's never been a country as great as America pre-globalism. | ||
| And honestly, not even joking, the refrigerator is proof of that. | ||
| It is proof of a superior civilization in whose ruins we now live. | ||
| But we can retain it. | ||
| We can regain it. We can get it back. | ||
| We can bring back the manufacturing. | ||
| It's all there waiting for us. | ||
| Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to the second hour of American Journal for this Tuesday, January 23rd broadcast. | ||
| Coming to you live from the InfoWars headquarters here in Austin, Texas. | ||
| This is our long commercial-free segment here, so we've got a good chunk of time to talk to my guest. | ||
| I'm very happy to welcome Brandon Weikert. | ||
| He's a geopolitical analyst and the author of Winning Space, How America Remains a Superpower, as well as Biohacked, China's Race to Control Life, and The Shadow War, Iran's Quest for Supremacy. | ||
| Brandon's also a contributing editor to American Greatness, the Asia Times, and the Washington Times. | ||
| He's a former congressional staffer who holds an MA in Statecraft and National Security Affairs from the Institute of World Politics in Washington, D.C., and he manages the Weikert Report, World News Done Right. | ||
| You can follow him on X at X.com slash WeTheBrandon, and the website is WeikertReport.com. | ||
| Brandon, welcome back to the show, sir. | ||
| Thank you for having me again. | ||
| It's such a joy to be back, and I loved your last segment, by the way. | ||
| That was excellent. Has America ever been great? | ||
| Have you ever heard a question like, when was America great? | ||
| I mean, if America wasn't great, who was? | ||
| When was anybody great if America doesn't fit that category? | ||
| Right, exactly. And unfortunately, our current political class are making sure that we're not great anymore. | ||
| And that's part of what we're seeing on display in the Middle East. | ||
| 100%. 100%. We seem incapable of having any positive effect in the Middle East. | ||
| We can't get Israel to do any sort of pause. | ||
| We can't... I mean, every time we're sending Blinken or Sullivan or anybody over there with a mission, they announce it. | ||
| We're going over to demand a ceasefire, and then we get nothing. | ||
| And then the Houthis, they put out a video today. | ||
| The title of it is, We Will Not Be Intimidated. | ||
| They don't seem to be scared, so... | ||
| Whether it's our enemies or our allies, we got no influence in the Middle East. | ||
| I mean, is this on purpose, Brandon? | ||
| We're the premier superpower on Earth, and yet nobody listens to us. | ||
| What is behind this? | ||
| Well, it doesn't help when we have, you know, an Alzheimer's patient as president. | ||
| Nobody, you know, nobody respects him. | ||
| You know, it's interesting. | ||
| Donald Trump is, you know, almost the same age, but yet that region feared Trump. | ||
| That region did not challenge Trump the way it's challenging and defying and embarrassing the Biden administration. | ||
| So I think leadership matters. | ||
| And I think that we're seeing and you mentioned in your last segment, you know, that golden age of America. | ||
| Well, the one thing we had, whether they were Democrats or Republicans leading us, is they were they were adults and they actually believed they believed in America and they had no problem about exercising American power when it was needed. | ||
| And exercising it responsibly, which is something that our elite today are incapable of doing as it relates to trying to get a ceasefire with Israel. | ||
| My personal opinion is I'm a believer in state sovereignty. | ||
| And I think that in any instance of a national defense, I think we should just stay out of it. | ||
| Just let the region figure itself out. | ||
| I think the biggest problem is In the post-Cold War era has been that the United States has tried to behave as a peacekeeping force. | ||
| And there's a great essay in Foreign Affairs from 1993 by Ed Lutwak, who entitled it, Give War a Chance. | ||
| And what he was arguing was that actually when Western peacekeepers move in, they actually prolong conflicts They actually make it worse, and they actually make peace impossible. | ||
| So it's better to just stay out and let the locals figure out what they need to figure out, no matter how gruesome it may seem, because inevitably, you know, all politics is local. | ||
| And so I think we need to stop trying to tell the regional powers to get a ceasefire. | ||
| And I think we should say, you know what, if you guys want to duke it out, you know, we have interests, we're going to protect our interests, but you guys figure it out, because it's not our problem. | ||
| But is that even possible? | ||
| Because obviously we're in, you know, the position that Israel's in, without American, you know, military power and air force or, you know, aircraft carriers just off the coast of Lebanon, I mean, Hezbollah would be getting involved in a direct way, Iran would get, without the specter of American, you know, intervention in this, we'd be leaving Israel out to dry and essentially be completely destroyed, right? | ||
| So is that even an option for us to leave it alone? | ||
| Well, when I say leave it alone, I mean at that sort of Israel-Palestine level. | ||
| And this is the basis of my book. | ||
| The issue is that Iran, for 40 years since its beginning, the regime there, the Islamic Republic, has been at war with the United States. | ||
| They are not... And it doesn't matter what we say or do. | ||
| It's an ideological issue that that regime believes that we are basically, when they call us the great Satan, they really believe it. | ||
| And they are not going to make peace with us, no matter how nice we are to them or whether we let them get the nukes. | ||
| So when I say leave it to the locals, I mean in that sort of I think the United States can and should apply diplomatic and economic pressure on Iran to kind of prevent them from making this very small fight between Israel and Hamas into a wider fight, which is what Iran is trying to do, of course, because they are supporting Hamas, they're supporting the Houthis, they're supporting Hezbollah. | ||
| But it is interesting that Hezbollah did not open up a second front as we all thought they would, and that was partly because The leadership of Hezbollah is afraid that the Americans might get involved, and maybe all we need to do is make them afraid of that. | ||
| This is a very precarious position to be in, but in the case of Iran, we do not want them to run roughshod over the region. | ||
| We do have interests in the region. | ||
| And remember, if Iran does end up sort of intervening everywhere in the region, they're bringing with them China and Russia, who are, especially China, is our big threat that we have to contend with, and we do not want them to take over that region, any region, really. | ||
| And yet it seems like with the interventions that we've carried out thus far, or the entire conflict in the Middle East, obviously China is sort of happy this is all going on. | ||
| It's weakening America's position overseas. | ||
| Obviously it's weakening our moral superiority that we like to project as people around the world are seeing what's going on in Gaza and seeing that it's America that keeps vetoing UN resolutions and whatever. | ||
| So... It seems like if nothing changes, if just sort of what's happening now continues to happen, Iraq is keeping America coalition forces out. | ||
| They're not letting new ones come in. | ||
| They've said they want all coalition forces out. | ||
| American bases are being attacked on a routine basis. | ||
| American soldiers are being injured and casualties are coming over. | ||
| So if this continues... | ||
| To me, if this continues on the path that we're currently following, you know, in a year or two, America will basically lose any foothold in the Middle East whatsoever, meaning losing any influence over any of the players in that region. | ||
| So, I mean, is that what's going to happen? | ||
| Are we just allowing that to happen and we'll just, like, sort of slowly withdraw like a slow-motion Afghanistan? | ||
| That's what you're seeing. | ||
| I think if Biden gets reelected, especially, that's what will happen. | ||
| Personally, I think we should be at the very least relocating those bases in Iraq and Syria that we have. | ||
| They're too dangerous. They're basically easy targets. | ||
| We can't reinforce them. | ||
| And so I do think we should be pulling out of that. | ||
| What I think we should be doing, though, as a signal to the region, is we should have opened up the mother of all attacks on the Houthis from the air. | ||
| We could have knocked out the Houthis in 72 hours with the kind of air assets we have, but we didn't. | ||
| Biden is trying to basically keep the Iranians happy by not hitting too hard their proxies. | ||
| But that's actually encouraging greater violence and unrest from Iran, which is the big problem here. | ||
| Because if it's contained to just Israel-Palestine or Israel versus Hamas, I think Israel can kind of resolve that on their own. | ||
| But it's the issue of Iran sort of being the Svengali here pulling all the strings. | ||
| I think we're good to go. | ||
| Well, how does Saudi Arabia play into all of this? | ||
| Because obviously they've been at war with the Houthis for a decade, but they haven't entered into our coalition, you know, Operation Prosperity Guardian or whatever it's called, because the Houthis have said early on, and we played the clip on December 3rd, the Houthis made an announcement saying if Saudi Arabia joins the American coalition against us, we will bomb their, you know, basically there will be no more oil coming out of the Middle East for them. | ||
| will bomb their oil fields and their transportation. | ||
| So, and Saudi Arabia said that there's no reconciliation with Israel until Palestine has a two-state solution, which Israel has said is not gonna happen. | ||
| So it seems like there's a lot of, a lot of different stalemate sort of going on. | ||
| Like what's gonna shake this whole construct loose? - Well, I think the first thing that'll shake the construct loose is a new president. | ||
| I think Trump is the only president in my lifetime who figured out the Middle East. | ||
| They respect him. | ||
| The Saudi government has close ties with him. | ||
| The Israelis obviously have close ties with him. | ||
| I think that if he were president, he could use that leverage to sort of bring together, sort of finalize those Abraham Accords, which is actually the reason October 7th happened. | ||
| What happened was, when Biden took power, he basically paid lip service to Trump's Abraham Accords, which was bringing Israel and the Sunni Arabs together. | ||
| In a security alliance against Iran, but actually behind the scenes, Biden was gutting the Abraham Accords in favor of negotiating with the mullahs in Iran. | ||
| And Israel kept with the Saudis trying to bring the alliance together without America. | ||
| In fact, Netanyahu went to the UN three weeks before the attacks on October 7th and showed a map, and it was called the New Map of the Middle East, showing how Saudi Arabia and Israel were finalizing the security alliance begun under Trump. | ||
| And that's when the attack happened because Iran could not be contained. | ||
| They wanted to basically trigger a terrorist attack so that the Saudis would be forced to distance themselves from Israel before the finalization of that alliance. | ||
| And so now we are living in a situation where Iran is very much trying to use its proxies to prevent the Saudi-Israel marriage. | ||
| And the only thing that could stop, you know, that could complete that marriage would be a new president in the United States that could make certain inducements and promises to those two parties to help them come together so that they can do the hard work of containing Iran while we take a step back from the region without losing that could complete that marriage would be a new president in But under Biden, that's not happening. | ||
| And so this is the big problem is that the Houthis are also being deployed by Iran to undermine our position and to also force the Saudis to kind of stay back. | ||
| And the Saudis will stay back because they don't like Biden, but... | ||
| Biden has spent the last three years humiliating Saudi Arabia for human rights violations. | ||
| And so what we really need is a November, a new president so that we can kind of reset our stance in the region. | ||
| Do you think we'll even make it to November without this spiraling out into a wider conflict? | ||
| I mean, you know, talk about the Middle East, but that's just one flashpoint. | ||
| You know, China yesterday was sending spy balloons over Taiwan. | ||
| We know there's a Taiwanese election coming up and, you know, China is making very aggressive moves around that island as they have for a while. | ||
| But that pace seems to be increasing. | ||
| Obviously, Ukraine is people are realizing that that conflict is, you know, it's the classic like Ukraine is dead. | ||
| Long live Ukraine. | ||
| Ukraine war is dead, long live the Ukraine war, right? | ||
| They seem to be coming to an impasse. | ||
| Everybody seems to be recognizing, okay, Ukraine's not about to win this war. | ||
| And so NATO is coming out and saying, we should all be preparing for war. | ||
| Sweden, Germany, we should all be ready to go to war. | ||
| So are we even going to make it to 2024? | ||
| And is the Middle East the main flashpoint? | ||
| Or how do you take into account these other areas of conflict? | ||
| Yeah. I wrote the book because I believe regardless of what's going on in the world, the Middle East is still the flashpoint. | ||
| And that's why I'm very worried about what's going on with Iran. | ||
| That's why I never supported doing a deal with Iran. | ||
| That's why I've been saying, look, we don't want to invade the region. | ||
| We do not want to repeat the Iraq War. | ||
| We don't have to, though. | ||
| We've got partners on the ground, Israel and the Sunni Arab states, who, if If we would just get out of the way and help them come together, get over their differences, they could be an effective coalition for containing the Iranians. | ||
| But right now, we have a president in America who doesn't want to use the leverage and induce those parties to come together. | ||
| Instead, they want to do deals with the Iranians. | ||
| And actually, what that's doing is it's creating a situation where the Iranians are going crazier than they normally would because they think, hey, now's the time because they've got Sleepy Joe. | ||
| So you're right. We could witness the complete breakdown. | ||
| The Iranians could be calculating that, hey, we don't know who's going to win in November. | ||
| And if it's Trump, he has a tendency to kill our leaders. | ||
| So we're going to try to go crazy right now. | ||
| So that is my fear. | ||
| And unfortunately, there's not much we can do until the election. | ||
| But I still have hope that we can get to the election and the American people can do the right thing and put Trump in because he's the mad king and the mad king is better than Mr. | ||
| Magoo, especially when we're talking about the Middle East. | ||
| Well, and the big problem with Biden being Mr. | ||
| Magoo is that he's not really the one running things, is he? | ||
| So is it even Biden we should be talking about here? | ||
| Or is it Anthony Blinken or one of his other handlers that is actually running things and negotiating and traveling to the area to try to hammer out agreements? | ||
| Is it even Biden that we should be discussing here? | ||
| Or is it his shadow administration that's actually running things and calling the shots? | ||
| Right. You're right about the shadow administration. | ||
| In fact, they're all former Obama advisors, and I think that they're all being controlled by Obama. | ||
| I think this is his third term. | ||
| But my theory is you get rid of the president, all those people lose jobs underneath him, and then Trump can bring in the people that he thinks would be best. | ||
| Hopefully he gets the personnel in the second term better than he did in the first term. | ||
| And if he can do that, he can really, I think, reset the tables in the Middle East and prevent World War III. What we're witnessing now, and the reason I wrote the book is because I really wanted to carve out an understanding for people that the Bush policies were a failure in the Middle East because they overcommitted us. | ||
| And the Obama policies are a failure because basically they surrender the region to Iran, which is inherently hostile to us, and we will basically lose that vital region. | ||
| It'll become a Chinese protectorate. | ||
| We do not want that to happen. | ||
| So the third way is what I'm talking about, the sort of Abraham Accord coalition. | ||
| I think that the real threat is China, and they're about to break out. | ||
| And so what I've been advocating, because given how weak our industrial base is and how weak the U.S. military has become, what I've been advocating is we need to focus on China, and therefore we need to come to a deal with the Russians over Ukraine. | ||
| Ukraine is lost. NATO lost it. | ||
| They spooched it. And we need to also freeze what's going on in the Middle East and let our partners on the ground deal with it so that we can really refocus on preventing Iran from breaking out of this first island chain. | ||
| Because if they can get to the third island chain, that's Hawaii, they can have a lot of power projection into our region, and that's what they want. | ||
| And we do not want to have the Chinese military having proximity to the Western Hemisphere. | ||
| So we need to focus all hands on deck on China and let our allies in the Middle East handle their problems, and then let the Russians and the Europeans figure out what to do with Ukraine, because we do not have the ability to do all those things. | ||
| And that's to say nothing, by the way, of protecting our border. | ||
| One of the stories I've been tracking for two years, Harrison, is Iran has been moving uranium into the hands of their proxies. | ||
| In Yemen, it was intercepted in November 2022, a shipment of uranium going to the Houthis. | ||
| It was intercepted, though, by Al-Qaeda. | ||
| So now Al-Qaeda has Iranian-made Uranium. | ||
| And then a month later, in December 2022, Heathrow Airport authorities intercepted another Iranian shipment of uranium going, I think, to Hezbollah agents in England, and they were able to stop it. | ||
| But those are just the two known instances. | ||
| I believe Iran is shipping uranium all over the place to their proxies. | ||
| We have a huge open southwest border. | ||
| I think they're shipping it up through the broken southwest border here in the United States, handing it off to their proxies who are then building dirty bombs in our cities to detonate them when and if the big war over the Middle East initiates. | ||
| Well, that would be a very efficient way of kicking it off, right? | ||
| I mean, have a bomb go off and obviously the... | ||
| People like Lindsey Graham and others in the American administration are desperate for an open war with Iran. | ||
| I wonder how much of it is like nostalgia, or maybe not nostalgia, but they're like stuck in the 80s, 90s mindset where they think it's going to be another Gulf War where we lost like 75 people and conquered a nation. | ||
| But that's not the case anymore, right? | ||
| As you're pointing out, Iran has sort of systematically strengthened itself over the last 40 years. | ||
| We're not going to waltz in and just carpet bomb them like we did Baghdad in 2003. | ||
| So how much of this is the American leadership not being honest about the strength of our enemies? | ||
| We seem to be projecting this like we can just brush them aside whenever we want. | ||
| I mean, how true is that though? | ||
| Because it's not going to be another, it's not going to be Iraq war 3.0 if we go into the Middle East this time. | ||
| It's going to be a lot harder for us, won't it? | ||
| Right. Well, I think in a conventional war, we could conventionally defeat the Iranians. | ||
| But again, just like Iraq in 2003, you know, you could knock out a government, but then if you break it, you own it. | ||
| And we do not want to own Iran because it's going to be 10 times worse to rebuild and basically try to make Iran like Idaho. | ||
| We do not want to do that. | ||
| I think what we need to do, this is what I've been advocating, is replicate the strategy that defeated the Soviet Union. | ||
| We create allies in the region, and we have them, who will contain Iran and deter Iran. | ||
| And that will allow for us to basically let Iran be strangled over time. | ||
| And eventually, I think their people, just like the people in Russia overthrew the Soviet Union, eventually their people will push that government out and it will be a new day. | ||
| But it's a bloodless victory. | ||
| We want to do what Reagan did. | ||
| Reagan didn't say, I'm going to go to war with Russia. | ||
| He said, I'm going to kill Russia basically with economics and containment. | ||
| And it worked. | ||
| And we can do the same thing, especially because Iran is a lot weaker and smaller regionally than the Soviet Union was. | ||
| But it requires us to build up our allies on the ground and not tear them down the way that Biden has been doing. | ||
| But it seems like how... | ||
| I agree with you. | ||
| You know, obviously some sort of diplomatic or economic conflict is always going to be superior to outright conventional war. | ||
| But it seems like we sort of tried that in Syria with proxy armies. | ||
| And the ultimate result of that is Syria invited Russia in. | ||
| And now Russia is a big player in the Middle East because we sort of started like Russia would never have the foothold they have in the Middle East if not for our meddling in Syria. | ||
| So what's the likelihood of a backlash where we end up strengthening Russia and China by any sort of offensive move that then gives them the green light or gets the governments in the region to reach out to them to ask for defense? | ||
| And suddenly they have a bigger foothold in the Middle East than before. | ||
| I mean, what's the likelihood of that sort of backlash happening? | ||
| So, yeah, no, what I'm talking about with Syria, the issue was we were supporting ISIS, al-Nusra, al-Qaeda, those head choppers. | ||
| It was a civil war, and so that was a little bit different from what I'm talking about. | ||
| What I'm talking about is supporting the traditional state actors that we've supported in the Middle East, like the Sunni Arab states and Israel, and so I don't think it would have the kind of reaction that That the support for Obama, the Obama support for the Syrian resistance movements had. | ||
| But you're right. I mean, any move we make could, it was going to compel a counter move. | ||
| But China's already moving into the region in force. | ||
| They signed a $400 billion oil deal with Iran, which allows for Chinese military personnel to go into Iran, to be stationed in Iran. | ||
| And then also they're moving to basically co-opt the Silicon Valley type Innovation hubs in Saudi Arabia and Israel as a backdoor to get into our technology that we've cut them off from. | ||
| So we need to start making some bold moves. | ||
| War is not the answer. I think the sort of Cold War approach of containment and deterrence against Iran is the way to go. | ||
| Well, we're about to go to break, and we'll be back on the other side with Brandon Weikert. | ||
| Again, you can follow him on X at WeTheBrandon, and the website is WeikertReport.com, where he does the Weikert Report World News Done Right. | ||
| The book is The Shadow War, Iran's Quest for Supremacy, in addition to Winning Space, How America Remains a Superpower, and Biohacked, China's Race to Control Life. | ||
| We'll be back on the other side to talk a little bit more, because some of the news today... | ||
| It really seems like a lot of the situation in the Middle East has been completely upended. | ||
| So we'll talk about that. | ||
| Things that were impossible yesterday, today, seem like it's on the table. | ||
| And I'm wondering what has brought about this change. | ||
| I'll ask Brandon on the other side. | ||
| We'll be right back with the American Journal, Infowars.com, Band.video. | ||
| Share the space, share the links, and we'll be right back. | ||
| Weak men create hard times. | ||
| That's the main takeaway I'm getting from Brandon Weikert, my guest. | ||
| He's on X at WeTheBrandon. | ||
| His website is WeikertReport.com, where he does the Weikert Report, World News Done Right. | ||
| And the book that he's written recently is The Shadow War, Iran's Quest for Supremacy. | ||
| And we've been sort of breaking down the bird's eye view, 30 foot view chess board, you know, chess game that's being played geopolitically between us and China and Iran and Russia and Israel. | ||
| And, you know, I mean, all these moving parts. | ||
| But the news over the last 24 hours has been very different than a lot of the news we've been seeing over the last three or four months of conflict in the Middle East. | ||
| Things like this. | ||
| Israeli parliament stormed by hostages families, the families of those taken hostage by Hamas during the militant group's attack on southern Israel, have forced their way through the security at the country's parliament, demanding answers from lawmakers. | ||
| Videos on social media show a man being restrained as he shouted at lawmakers. | ||
| And we actually have that video we'll go to in just a second. | ||
| The incident caused the Knesset to suspend operations and, quote, shows growing frustration from the families of the hostages towards the Israeli government and the negotiations or lack thereof for the release of their loved ones. | ||
| So we'll go ahead and go to this video now. | ||
| You can see it's not all fun and games in Israel. | ||
| The people of Israel are not exactly happy with the behavior of their government in this conflict. | ||
| Let's go now to clip number two. | ||
| Here you see the guy being actually physically restrained as he yells at the lawmakers who are sitting around a conference table. | ||
| The shirt he's wearing says, bring them home now. | ||
| Of course, talking about the hostages. | ||
| I mean, they're invading. | ||
| They're being bodily held back as they storm in. | ||
| And so just on top of that, just getting the last 24 hours, U.S. and U.K. launched fresh strikes on Houthis and Yemen. | ||
| 24 Israeli soldiers killed for Israel's deadliest day of the conflict. | ||
| Now Israel is actually proposing a pause in fighting as part of a hostage deal, something they have not been exactly keen to agree on before. | ||
| What's going on with this conflict with Israel and Gaza? | ||
| I mean, it seems like yesterday there was no pause, no ceasefire. | ||
| Everything is under control. | ||
| Today, we're seeing little cracks start to appear. | ||
| Is this a new development, or what's going on under the surface there in Israel? | ||
| Well, the Israelis are very, very good at sort of fighting these sort of counterterrorism battles. | ||
| They're a lot like Colombia, which is an expert in fighting FARC. So the logic that they're employing, I think, is very much... | ||
| We're not used to that, but I think that this is all part of a plan where basically they ratchet up pressure for a period of time, and then basically once they think Hamas has reached a breaking point, they then say, okay, we're going to do a deal to get some hostages back. | ||
| That tends to be sort of the pattern here. | ||
| Whether or not it works, I don't know, but that does seem to be what's going on. | ||
| Well, and that's true. | ||
| That does seem to be their method. | ||
| But then you have to ask, how effective has their attack on Hamas been if now, you know, three, four months on to this conflict... | ||
| They're just now receiving the biggest or deadliest day for Israel in the entire conflict with 24 soldiers killed, which, I mean, Israel doesn't have an infinite... | ||
| They have a very small army in terms of actual numbers. | ||
| I mean, so it's like, is their plan failing? | ||
| I mean, if their plan was to sort of drive Hamas down and get them in a position where they'd be willing to negotiate with favorable terms for Israel, but if Hamas is out there... | ||
| Killing 24 Israeli soldiers in a single day, maybe this plan hasn't worked as well as they expected it to. | ||
| Yeah, no, they went in knowing this was going to be extremely bloody. | ||
| Now, the issue that I always had with the plan is they've got to worry about their northern border with Lebanon, with Hezbollah. | ||
| Hezbollah did not open up a second front, but they have thousands of missiles. | ||
| And I talk about this in the book with the Precision Project. | ||
| Basically, HMX-fueled, long-range precision-guided missiles that the Iranians helped them build. | ||
| They are ready to launch. | ||
| Israel has an idea of where they are. | ||
| The problem is the Hezbollah built them near civilian sites, and then also They have spread them very far across Lebanon's countryside, so Israel does not know where all of them are. | ||
| Those missiles would be used to take out Israeli civilian infrastructure, as well as targeting the ammonium nitrate storage facilities in the port of Haifa, which could render kind of a nuclear-like blast to knock out that incredibly important port. | ||
| For Israel's economy. | ||
| So the longer that Israel gets bogged down in the south with a ground war against Hamas, they have less ability to really kind of focus in protecting their northern frontier with Hezbollah. | ||
| And so that, you're right, this is a problematic strategy. | ||
| In my opinion, the Israeli government is trying to basically sort of We're good to go. | ||
| Now they're heavily bogged down in a Fallujah-style ground war in Gaza, which who knows when that's going to end. | ||
| Of course, that might work in Netanyahu's favor politically, because everybody knows that Netanyahu's political career is over now, and that he's basically, you know, he's been blamed for this attack. | ||
| He was already on thin ice with Israeli voters. | ||
| They blame him for this attack, that he didn't see it coming. | ||
| And so now he's in a position where he's going to lose his political career. | ||
| So he might be thinking, hey, maybe I can prolong this and kind of do a long-term war that keeps people distracted from the fact that they're angry with me, which is, I think, part of what you're seeing in that clip is that the voters in Israel are somewhat angry. | ||
| But ultimately, I think from a strategic level, it was a mistake for Israel to do this kind of campaign. | ||
| They should have, frankly, just flattened Gaza And been done instead of kind of prolonging this thing because now they're very much at risk of a second front opening up. | ||
| Well, and there's another aspect to the Netanyahu, you know, his personal preference in this because as he is the prime minister right now, and so he's sort of held hostage in a lot of ways by the people who he's – allied with in the Israeli government because if he loses their support and they kick him out of the prime ministership or break their alliance with him, the more right-wing Likud party members who really want the war in Gaza, if he doesn't do what they want, they can kick him out. | ||
| Then he loses the protection he has as prime minister and there are lawsuits and criminal charges awaiting him. | ||
| So sort of for his own survival, not just politically but legally, he's got to appease the more far-right people in his In his government. | ||
| So, I mean, go ahead. | ||
| No, no, I was just going to say, you're right. | ||
| There's certainly a political dimension that's not being talked about. | ||
| Yeah, and of course Hezbollah, we've pointed out from the very beginning, Hezbollah is sort of the elephant in the room in a lot of this because people in this country sort of treat Hezbollah as like, oh, there's this ragtag terrorist group. | ||
| But when you actually look into it and the people who know about this stuff, they'll tell you Hezbollah is the number one threat to Israel. | ||
| And that's almost taking up most of their bandwidth is figuring out how to not... | ||
| Have Hezbollah really start that second front. | ||
| We've got about a minute left. | ||
| What's your prognosis? What do you think is going to happen? | ||
| Not what you want to have. What do you think is going to happen in the Middle East in the next little while? | ||
| So my fear is that Israel has overcommitted to the south, and they're about to be surrounded to their north by Hezbollah, and Syria, Iranian forces in Syria are going to start doing something. | ||
| And with Biden sort of already not interested in working further with Israel, wanting a deal with Iran, he might try to push Israel away. | ||
| I think Israel is in a very, very precarious position, and I don't know how they get out of it short of a new president coming in power here in Washington to sort of mitigate this collapse of Israel. | ||
| But this is an existential threat. | ||
| I don't even know if the Israeli government realizes how bad the situation could get very soon. | ||
| And of course, that's what we've been saying on this program since the beginning. | ||
| We've never been arguing from a position of, you know, we want Israel to go away. | ||
| It's like we're sitting here going, hey, Israel is making bad decisions. | ||
| And then we're told we're anti-Israel. | ||
| But if I was anti-Israel, I'd be going, yeah, Israel, go get bogged down in Gaza. | ||
| See how well that works. | ||
| It's, again, weak men create hard times. | ||
| I really think that's where we are. Brandon Weicker, thank you so much for being here with us. | ||

| Thank you. Yes, folks, it's Diversity Airlines now taking to the skies. | ||

| This video by Vox Aculi. | ||
| Vox Aculi on Twitter. | ||
| Been putting together these little edits. | ||
| Just juxtaposing. | ||
| Just for your own edification. | ||
| The dancing rainbow-colored flippancy of the DEI agenda contrasted with the almost routine air disasters we're experiencing these days. | ||
| It's called priorities, folks, and we have the wrong ones. | ||
| It's incredibly troubling, but I really think it just sort of does a great job of illustrating where America is right now. | ||
| It's a bunch of drag queens waving a rainbow flag and twerking on the wreckage, the twisted metal bloody wreckage of a downed aircraft. | ||
| It's not going well. | ||
| It's not going well, folks. | ||
| So we're going to, of course, we're still broadcasting on Spaces. | ||
| If you want to follow InfoWars on Twitter, and you can join our space and request to speak. | ||
| And I know Chase is in there monitoring, and we'll bring people live in the next hour. | ||
| We're going to cover some pretty funny stories here in this segment. | ||
| Well, not funny as much as, in some cases, horrifying, in some cases, just... | ||
| Upsetting, but we're going to laugh either way. | ||
| And then I'm going to... | ||
| What I really want to talk about with the Twitter Spaces audience is the border and what we can do about it. | ||
| So if you want to come on and call in through Spaces, as this is a new... | ||
| The thing we're doing. It's a new program we've implemented, expanding our call-in show to a Twitter Spaces show. | ||
| We're going to stick to just Spaces today, because I feel bad today. | ||
| Leaving people on hold while we're going to space. | ||
| So we're just doing pure spaces call-ins today. | ||
| So if you want to call in, you've got to have a Twitter account. | ||
| You've got to go on spaces, follow InfoWars, and comment on the space. | ||
| Comment with what you want to talk about or what you want to say. | ||
| You can keep it vague and just say an idea for protecting the border, whatever it may be. | ||
| And we'll bring you up in the next hour, and we'll do that for the next hour. | ||
| We'll talk about some of the statements and some of the occurrences that have happened at the southern border in the last... | ||
| 24 hours including the Supreme Court siding with the invaders over the American people. | ||
| A very upsetting development, but there it is. | ||
| So we'll talk about that and we'll talk about what Tucker Carlson said about it and the response that we've seen. | ||
| But there's some, just some absurd stories. | ||
| Absurd stories. This story is from 2018, but somebody posted the headline yesterday, I didn't believe it was true. | ||
| I didn't think it was real. | ||
| I tried Googling it with sort of vague terms and couldn't find the story. | ||
| And so I thought, okay, good. | ||
| There's no way this is real. | ||
| I'm glad that this isn't real. | ||
| But then I just searched the title verbatim and discovered it is in fact a real story. | ||
| It's from all the way back in 2018 from nationalreview.com. | ||
| Child euthanasia without parental approval pushed in Canada. | ||
| Now earlier this week or last week we had a story that something like 5% of all deaths in Canada were euthanasia. | ||
| It's one of the leading causes of death. | ||
| 13,000 Canadians were killed by their own government last year. | ||
| Horrifying numbers. | ||
| 13,000 people killed by their own government. | ||
| Put down like dogs by their own government. | ||
| Which is horrifying enough, and other people from Canada were actually commenting on a post that I made about that horrific number, the massive number of people euthanized by their own government, and people were saying, you know, euthanasia is the only procedure you can get on a moment's notice in Canada. | ||
| Everything else, whether it's a broken arm or bronchitis, you're sitting in line for weeks just to get You know, meeting with a doctor. | ||
| But if you want to kill yourself, well, there's spots available the next day. | ||
| And this commenter was saying that's because they've been organ harvesting from the euthanasia people. | ||
| So they really want to get that euthanasia done so they can get hands on your precious organs so they can sell them. | ||
| It's horrifying, but when you're talking about a movement to provide an easy and official path to suicide, is anything out of the realm of possibility? | ||
| Let me just read this headline again. | ||
| Child euthanasia without parent approval pushed for Canada. | ||
| With lethal injection euthanasia now legal in Canada for patients age 18 and over whose deaths are, quote, foreseeable, a vague limitation, sure to be erased eventually. | ||
| And of course, this was back in 2018. | ||
| By 2023, we saw example after example of people going to the doctor in Canada and being offered death, being offered suicide instead of a cure, being offered a lethal injection rather than any actual medical intervention. | ||
| Horrifying but true, including people who are just too poor. | ||
| They were just too poor. And the Canadian government was like, well, if you can't afford your home, would you like us to kill you? | ||
| You're not that poor. Your kidney is worth a lot. | ||
| If we parse out your body parts like a butcher, you're an extremely wealthy man, actually. | ||
| So, yeah, it's no longer foreseeable deaths. | ||
| It's any minor inconvenience that you can now euthanize yourself for. | ||
| Eager bioethicists described a proposed protocol to govern child euthanasia once legal authority expands to include minors as it has in the Netherlands and Belgium. | ||
| From medically assisted dying in a pediatric hospital published in Oxford-based Journal of Medical Ethics, quote, In all other regards than who initiates the euthanasia discussion, our working group has at present elected to conceptualize MAID, that's medical assistance in dying, as practically and ethically equivalent to other medical practices that result in the end of life. | ||
| The theorization of MAID is justified on the grounds that these practices share a common purpose of alleviating unendurable suffering and facilitate the patient dying on their own terms. | ||
| It is reflective of our concern that the conceptualization of MAID should not place additional burdens on the patient or function to limit the rights and freedoms to which patients are typically entitled. | ||
| Remember, the issue here is whether doctors should be allowed to kill children. | ||
| One would think that, at a bare minimum, such homicides would require parental permission, but no. | ||
| If the child is considered mature enough to make decisions, parents can be kept out of death discussions. | ||
| So there's that. | ||
| You know, it's just what is there to say? | ||
| What is there to say? | ||
| Your government is trying to create a process by which your child can kill themselves through the hospital and you can't even say anything about it. | ||
| Which, hey, if they can take hormones and chop their healthy body parts off before they're 18, why shouldn't they be able to end their own lives? | ||
| Even if they're indoctrinated into that idea by the authorities in their lives, like people who run the schools or hospitals, encouraging that practice. | ||
| Just a horrifying glimpse into the cult of death that the globalists Speaking of, how's this for a headline? | ||
| If this doesn't tell you what their intentions really are, I don't know what does. | ||
| From the Telegraph, according to the Telegraph, carbon footprint of homegrown food is five times greater than those grown conventionally. | ||
| Growing your own food in an allotment might not be as good for the environment as expected, a study suggests. | ||
| Now how could this possibly be? | ||
| How could this possibly be the case? | ||
| You're telling me that it's less carbon production to like import, you know, the classic image is the peaches or whatever. | ||
| It's a fruit cup that's like grown in Argentina, packed in Taiwan, sold in Dallas. | ||
| You're telling me it's a... | ||
| Five times greater carbon footprint to take a tomato from your garden to your kitchen than it is to ship a container ship from Argentina to Taiwan and back to America. | ||
| I mean this is absurd on the face of it because obviously the point of all of this is to destroy our ability to be self-sufficient. | ||
| Destroy our ability to not be dependent on the globalist supply chains and interconnecting geopolitical networks. | ||
| We'll touch on this again on the other side as we're about to go to commercial break, but in the next hour we will be opening up the floor to spaces, so make sure to request now to speak, leave your comments saying what you want to talk about, and we'll go to you momentarily. | ||

| Oh, man. I guess I should be thankful that our enemies are so transparent in their designs. | ||
| They could be a lot more subtle. | ||
| They really could. | ||
| Again, the story from The Telegraph, stretching even the most credulous belief system. | ||
| Carbon footprint of homegrown food five times greater than those grown conventionally. | ||
| What I mean by conventionally is, you know, factory farms, massive... | ||
| I mean, the whole... | ||
| The food system in our world is so ridiculous at this point. | ||
| It's ridiculous. And the way it's been set up is that certain areas of the world have sort of monopolies on certain crops. | ||
| Ideally, you would have, like, lots of crops, a variety of crops grown in different places... | ||
| But instead, it's just like, all of the soybean production is in America. | ||
| All of the corn production is in America. | ||
| All of the whatever production is overseas. | ||
| And then it has to all be shipped around. | ||
| And they're actually claiming. | ||
| They're actually asking you to believe that you produce more carbon growing a tomato in your backyard garden than you do shipping one overseas twice before it ever arrives at your grocery store. | ||
| How can they even say this with a straight face? | ||
| It is absurd on the face of it. | ||
| And this is the argument that they're making. | ||
| It's a study from the University of Michigan, they say, looked at how much CO2 was produced when growing food in different types of urban farms and found that, on average, a serving of food made from traditional farms creates 0.07 kg of CO2. The impact on the environment is almost five times higher at 0.34 kg per portion for individual gardens, such as vegetable patches or allotments. | ||
| So obviously what they want you to believe is that to be a good little Earth citizen, you shouldn't try to grow your own food. | ||
| You shouldn't have your own garden. | ||
| You should rely on the free trade, massive, interconnected global supply chain because somehow that's saving the Earth. | ||
| Again, absurd, ridiculous on the very face of it. | ||
| But let's look at how they try to justify this statement. | ||
| And again, I... Just let's try to take this. | ||
| Let's pretend like this is a serious thing they're saying here. | ||
| Even the idea that CO2 is bad, I mean, none of this makes any... | ||
| It's lie upon lie upon lie. | ||
| The lie that growing a tomato in your backyard is worse for the environment because it creates more CO2 is predicated on the idea that CO2 in the atmosphere is somehow bad, which is predicated on the idea of greenhouse gassage, which was debunked in like the 90s, but is still the basis of the global warming climate change agenda. | ||
| Even though it's been debunked. Even though it's not even the argument that they make anymore. | ||
| I saw somebody the other day saying, well, you know, climate change is worse in the summer or something. | ||
| It's like, wait, so you're saying greenhouse gases somehow trap more heat in the summer? | ||
| That doesn't make any sense. | ||
| When it's summer up here, it's winter down south. | ||
| Earth is always getting bombarded with a constant stream of solar energy. | ||
| Just none of it makes any sense. | ||
| None of this makes any sense. | ||
| But let's see how they try to justify it. | ||
| Jake Hayes, or Jake Hawes, a PhD candidate at Michigan, the first author of the study, said the most significant contributor to carbon emissions on the urban agriculture sites we studied was the infrastructure used to grow the food. | ||
| From raised beds to garden sheds to pathways, these constructions had a lot of carbon invested in their construction. | ||
| Yeah, apparently building a raised garden bed, which... | ||
| Consists of banging four pieces of wood together. | ||
| Somehow it's more carbon production than a container ship crossing the Pacific Ocean. | ||
| I mean, guys, come on. | ||
| Come on. It's just really, it really lays bare. | ||
| Oh, oh yeah, look at the massive industrial construction going on here. | ||
| Look at all the carbon this guy's producing. | ||
| This woman, she's producing oxygen. | ||
| Isn't that a greenhouse gas? | ||
| We have to destroy all of the oxygen. | ||
| Is that any more ridiculous than what they're saying? | ||
| Yeah, they're just like, just don't grow your own food. | ||
| Don't be self-sufficient. | ||
| Just rely on us. | ||
| It's for the Earth. We'll put it on a cargo ship that produces more pollution than every car on Earth combined. | ||
|

|
Oh, yeah. | |
| Guess you need it. | ||
| Dying it like the dead. | ||
| Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Third hour of American Journal is on, brought to you by Infowarsstore.com. | ||
| Still a lot to talk about, and we'll be opening up the Twitter spaces to your input in this segment, this long, commercial-free segment here at the top of the hour. | ||
| And we're going to be discussing the border. | ||
| The border, the border, the border. | ||
| The area formerly known as the border. | ||
| The open-air prison camp that now serves as our border. | ||
| Obviously, the big story is that the Supreme Court, beyond all reason, I mean, one of the most bizarre decisions ever by a Supreme Court, has said that The Texas National Guard is not allowed to defend the border and has to allow the Federal Border Patrol access to the border in order to facilitate the mass importation of millions upon millions of illegal immigrants and so-called refugee asylum seekers. | ||
| I feel like every time we talk about the border, I want a big neon sign. | ||
| They are not asylum seekers. | ||
| They are not asylum seekers. | ||
| Stop calling them that. | ||
| Stop referring to them as asylum seekers. | ||
| Asylum seekers is a very specific term for very specific circumstance. | ||
| That's an emergency that you allow people to circumvent certain laws because they're incompatible with the emergency status of the situation. | ||
| These people are economic migrants. | ||
| They're not being pursued by anybody. | ||
| They're not being threatened by anybody. | ||
| If they're rejected from citizenship in America, if they're turned away at the border, they are not going to be slaughtered like the Jews in Nazi Germany for whom the asylum program was initially created. | ||
| They will just go home to the countries where they've lived for their entire lives and are still citizens and have their own government and their own country who's responsible for looking after them and is doing so to the best of its ability. | ||
| They are not asylum seekers. | ||
| I don't know what it takes to get this through to people. | ||
| But this is insane. This is stupid. | ||
| This is the equivalent of some wealthy, middle-class person who's doing fine, is well-off, going to a toy drive, For people in poverty and just taking the toys and going, I don't feel like shopping, so I'll just take the free things. | ||
| It's like, no, no, there's a specific reason we do this. | ||
| There's a specific reason we have these charitable programs and they're for people that require them. | ||
| If you're just taking advantage of that, you're a bad person and you're ruining the actual program for everybody. | ||
| You think a gift program, a Secret Santa sort of program where people are donating toys to go to underprivileged children, if they were learning that it was just some CEO taking all the toys for himself and giving them to his family, would they continue to operate that program? | ||
| It wouldn't happen anymore. | ||
| So then, what would happen is that the kids that were intended to benefit from this program would be left out in the cold. | ||
| So, if you like the asylum program, you should be against fake asylum seekers. | ||
| This is not complicated. | ||
| None of this is complicated. | ||
| None of this is really even remotely complicated. | ||
| This is a choice that we're making. | ||
| This is a decision that our government has made to flood our entire country with tens of millions of foreign economic migrants. | ||
| And I detailed this in a tweet where I went through and I looked back at the timeline Of the Haitian migrants, 12,000 Haitian migrants were trapped at Eagle Pass. | ||
| They were under a bridge and it was a humanitarian crisis. | ||
| It was impossible to... | ||
| Do anything to prevent this? | ||
| It was, I mean, day after day, you see this image of these poor, suffering Haitians. | ||
| Of course, they weren't poor or suffering. | ||
| In fact, they were crossing from America back into Mexico to get to-go orders from a restaurant in Mexico and then wading back across the Rio Grande into America to eat their lunch. | ||
| I mean, they were just hanging out. | ||
| They were just hanging out, basically. | ||
| But this was treated like a humanitarian crisis. | ||
| Like, oh, we just can't even get a handle on this. | ||
| 12,000 Haitians and the images were just this... | ||
| As far as the eye could see, these tents and trash and just, you know, went on and on. | ||
| And for days, these people were trapped there. | ||
| And then there was images of Border Patrol agents on horses. | ||
| And that made all of the idiots in the Biden administration very scared. | ||
| They're very scared of people on horses. | ||
| It reminds them of slavery, after all. | ||
| And this whole story is so... | ||
| I don't want to say retarded, but... | ||
| It was... | ||
| And so you have this humanitarian disaster. | ||
| If we can come to the screen, this is how it went. | ||
| Yeah, well, there's the overhead shot, right? | ||
| 12,000 people in this small area. | ||
| 12,000 people on top of each other in a makeshift camp. | ||
| It was a disaster. They would spread these images saying, look at this horrible border disaster that's happening. | ||
| Look at that. I mean, it looks like Mogadishu. | ||
| Well, it looks like Haiti, to be honest with you. | ||
| It's 12,000 Haitians. Then the Biden administration condemned Border Patrol for riding horses, and that turned out to be a massive embarrassment for the Biden administration. | ||
| So then two days later, all of this was gone. | ||
| All of this was gone. That's how quickly these problems can be solved. | ||
| They present it as some intractable circumstance that we just can't do anything about. | ||
| Oh, these 12,000 people, these poor 12,000 people just stuck here and there's nothing we can do until it becomes a slight embarrassment for the Biden administration, at which point they give the order. | ||
| Okay, clean this up. And two days later, it is all cleaned up. | ||
| All the people are gone. We don't know where they went, but they're not there anymore. | ||
| And all of the trash was cleaned up and it was all over just like that. | ||
| It's a decision that they're making to do this. | ||
| Here, guys, we can come to my computer screen. | ||
| These are the three images that we illustrate this with. | ||
| So, right, first is this. | ||
| This was September 21st. | ||
| Just massive humanitarian crisis. | ||
| My God, what are we going to do? | ||
| Then on the—or that was the 20th. | ||
| On the 21st was this. | ||
| You know, a guy's riding horse is very scary. | ||
| Biden administration makes a statement. | ||
| It gets embarrassing. And then on the 24th, it's this. | ||
| Completely cleared out. Totally problem solved. | ||
| Right? Right. Completely empty. | ||
| Not a tent to be found. | ||
| This is a choice that the Biden administration is making. | ||
| It's a choice that the Border Patrol is making. | ||
| None of this is necessary or even difficult. | ||
| It's a political issue. | ||
| And I have to say, I'm a little annoyed at Tucker Carlson. | ||
| I'm a little annoyed at old Tucker. | ||
| Here's what he said on Twitter yesterday following the decision by the Supreme Court to allow the immigration slash invasion to continue. | ||
| He says this, so it's anonymous. | ||
| It's unanimous. Everyone in power from the White House to the hedge fund managers to the Supreme Court of the United States has decided to destroy the country by allowing it to be invaded. | ||
| That leaves the population to defend itself. | ||
| Where are the men of Texas? | ||
| Why aren't they protecting their state and the nation? | ||
| Well, where are you, Tucker? | ||
| That's my question. Where are you? | ||
| What do you expect people to do? | ||
| It's, again, God bless Tucker. | ||
| Love the man. But, rubs me a little bit the wrong way. | ||
| Tucker Carlson's living up in Maine somewhere. | ||
| Literally the widest enclave in America. | ||
| Farthest away you can possibly get from the border. | ||
| And he's out there fly fishing. | ||
| Going, why don't you guys go fight the cartels for us? | ||
| You happen to be the state on the border, so it's up to you. | ||
| Go, uh, go. Ooh, ooh, almost got out of nibble there. | ||
| Yeah, get your gun and go fight the cartels and the feds, by the way. | ||
| Go create a militia and patrol the border and do the government's job for them. | ||
| And, oh, oh, I almost got... | ||
| That was a big trout. Ooh, I almost caught a trout there. | ||
| So, yeah, why are you guys putting your lives on the line to fight the Mexican cartels and get decapitated? | ||
| It's up to you. Where are you guys? | ||
| Where are the men of Texas? It's like... | ||
| What the hell, dude? What? | ||
| Where are you? Why are you in Texas doing this? | ||
| Eh, it's kind of rubbed me the wrong way, to be honest with you. | ||
| And of course the answer is that this is a political problem with a political solution. | ||
| There is no forming a militia and going down to the border to defend it ourselves. | ||
| First of all, we shouldn't have to. | ||
| Just because we're the state on the border, this is a national problem, and everybody should be dealing with this. | ||
| We just get stuck with it. | ||
| Because we're on the border. I mean, that doesn't make any sense. | ||
| But also, what do you think would happen? | ||
| What do you think would happen if people took what Tucker Carlson said seriously? | ||
| And were like, alright, we're mounting up. | ||
| We're getting our guns. We're going to go defend the border. | ||
| Everybody knows what would happen. | ||
| You'd be Waco'd, right? | ||
| The government would literally burn you alive with your children. | ||
| I mean... You would be not only going up against the cartel, you would be going up against the federal government who would absolutely deploy against you in an instant and without reservation. | ||
| So, again, this is a political issue. | ||
| And I even had, I mean, we can sort of go through the back and forth I had on this because I responded and got quite a few comments. | ||
| Likes on my response to him, saying, what are you talking about? | ||
| What are you talking about? We can't just go defend the border ourselves. | ||
| This is literally why we have a government. | ||
| And the spaces are so active, I can't even find my previous... | ||
| But I do want to find it because I want to go back and forth between what I said and what some other people said, illustrating, again, that there is a solution to this. | ||
| There is a... Well, there are several very simple solutions to this, but they're political. | ||
| They don't involve... | ||
| Us Texans having to pick up the slack of the rest of the government and going and putting ourselves in harm's way and warring with the cartels and the feds simultaneously. | ||
| So what I said is, well what are we doing? | ||
| What are the men of Texas doing? Well we're trying to secede. | ||
| This is a political problem with a political solution. | ||
| Those in power simply need to give the orders and the problem is over. | ||
| Solved. | ||
| Citizens intervening in any direct serious way is not feasible within the current system. | ||
| Because again, when you're talking about tens of thousands of people a day crossing the number of people that you would have to have in some sort of citizen militia to actually deal with that in a comprehensive way is staggering. | ||
| And you're, you're talking about, We're going to need tens of thousands of people. | ||
| And what would we do? Would we arrest the people? | ||
| We'll put them in prison? | ||
| We don't have prisons. We'd be a militia. | ||
| Would we send them back? | ||
| Well, they would just come back. So we'd kill them? | ||
| So we should just go and kill the people on the border? | ||
| How would that work? | ||
| And would they not... I mean, have you seen the Mexican cartels? | ||
| Have you seen the military equipment they have? | ||
| Do you think the American government would come back us up? | ||
| Come back up the militia members? | ||
| Or would they... Airstrike them. | ||
| I mean, come on. Let's be serious. | ||
| But then people were responding to this, although I can't find the, for some reason the comments aren't showing up, but other people are saying there is no political solution to this. | ||
| The National Guard simply has to stand up to the feds. | ||
| To my response to that was, well, that's a political solution. | ||
| That is a political solution because the Texas National Guard gets its orders from the governor of Texas. | ||
| So if you have the right governor of Texas, if you can get a governor of Texas who will give such an order, then problem solved. | ||
| But you're not going to have the Texas National Guard independently and spontaneously going to war against the federal government. | ||
| They'll follow orders if the governor issues them. | ||
| And that's what I said, right? | ||
| The person in leadership has to just give the order and then this problem is solved. | ||
| And other people are going, what orders would they even give? | ||
| And it's pretty simple. Arrest and deport illegal immigrants. | ||
| Seal the border. Close it down. | ||
| No crossing except in approved spots of temporary visitors. | ||
| And problem solved. And that's it. | ||
| Problem solved. Literally problem solved. | ||
| If the governor told the Texas National Guard, I'm giving you an order to seal the border completely, arrest anybody that crosses over, and deport any illegal immigrants you find, then that's what they would do. | ||
| And if the Fed wanted to come and intervene, if they wanted to physically combat the Texas National Guard, they'd say, well, then they are interfering with The execution of your lawful orders? | ||
| Treat them as an enemy combatant. | ||
| And to be honest, I don't think Border Patrol would raise a finger. | ||
| I don't think the Border Patrol is happy about being babysitters and taxi drivers for the illegal immigrants. | ||
| So this is a political problem, and it needs a political solution. | ||
| One political solution is to divorce ourselves from the power structure that put us in this situation by completely rejecting the Supreme Court and the hedge fund managers and the national government who's put us in this situation by saying, actually, you don't get a say anymore because when you're in charge, we suffer. | ||
| That would be secession, and I think that is the most comprehensive, the best singular response to all of this variety of issues. | ||
| But even without secession, having a governor who will issue these orders, especially having multiple governors who will cross the Rubicon in that way, I would love to see Florida and Oklahoma and Alabama all go, you know, our state guard is also going to go down to Texas and we'll go ahead and serve as auxiliaries to the Texas National Guard and we'll do what they do. | ||
| I mean, you could actually have a setup where you've got National Guard members from various states throughout the Union, all banding together to protect our border. | ||
| And then it would be then, you know, the ball would be in the federal government's court. | ||
| Do you want to give the orders for the Border Patrol to attack their fellow American citizens for the benefit of illegal immigrants? | ||
| How does that look? And would they even do it? | ||
| It is a political problem. | ||
| It necessitates a political solution. | ||
| Now there's another solution here, and we can get to that in just a second. | ||
| The story's at Infowars about a caravan called Take Our Border Back. | ||
| Americans announced a multi-state convoy to descend on southern border. | ||
| The Coalition of Americans from across the nation announced the formation of a massive southern border convoy and multi-city rally next month to defy the Biden regime's open border catastrophe. | ||
| Which I think is a good thing. | ||
| I think it should stop by the border on its way to either Austin or Washington, D.C. Because again, it's not the people crossing the border that are the big issue. | ||
| It's not like Border Patrol is doing its best and just can't handle it. | ||
| It's the people in the offices in Washington and Austin that are giving the orders to allow this to happen. | ||
| Those are the enemy. Those are the problem that we have to solve. | ||
| I think an Ottawa-style protest where you've got 18-wheelers and big rigs and tractors and farming equipment clogging up one of these capital cities, saying we're not leaving until you issue the order to close the border, that would be, in my opinion, more effective than going down to the border itself, which both wouldn't be hugely effective and would open up For the possibility of a false flag situation in which the people involved would pay the price. | ||
| But I'm in favor of that. | ||
| I mean, I'm in favor of whatever. Like, whatever we can do, I want to do. | ||
| And I will participate in and give you the information about. | ||
| February 3rd, Eagle Pass, Texas, Yuma, Arizona, San Yistro, California. | ||
| Final rally locations. | ||
| Here's the flyer telling about the Take Our Border Back caravan, takeourborderback.com, the story at infowars.com as well. | ||
| Let's go out. | ||
| It looks like the crew has compiled some candidates for our spaces discussion. | ||
| I see Matt Baker is in the conversation. | ||
| Let's go ahead and bring Matt Baker. | ||
| Oh, you're already a speaker, Matt. | ||
| Go ahead and unmute yourself. | ||
| A veteran of Twitter spaces. | ||
| Welcome to the show, Dreadlock Alec Jones, a.k.a. Matt Baker. | ||
| Here, Matt, do you read me? | ||
| Guys, I think we're having the same problem as yesterday. | ||
| I'm not sure if the Twitter spaces can hear, but I cannot hear Matt Baker. | ||
| Hey guys, if you're in the space, give a thumbs up if you can hear Matt Baker. | ||
| Also, just give a thumbs up anyway. | ||
| And again, the more you comment, the more you share, the more this space gets out to people. | ||
| So it looks like we're having the same problems yesterday. | ||
| We solved it pretty quick yesterday. I'm not sure what the solution was, but let's try to bring Matt Baker on, and we'll talk to him in just a second. | ||
| Now, Greg Abbott, governor of Texas, has vowed to defend Texas' sovereignty after the U.S. Supreme Court sanctioned the invasion. | ||
| Sanctions invasion. Approves the invasion. | ||
| Be a better word for it. | ||
| Texas Governor Greg Abbott says he will continue directing state law enforcement agencies to defend Texas' sovereignty in defiance of a ruling by the Supreme Court siding with the Biden administration's open border policies following a 5-4 SCOTUS decision Monday allowing Border Patrol agents to cut razor wire barriers in Eagle Pass. | ||
| Governor Abbott said he remained committed to combating illegal immigration in his state, although he didn't go so far as to say, I will be defying the Supreme Court. | ||
| What he seems to be saying is, despite the Supreme Court siding against us and despite the fact that we are now obliged to allow the Border Patrol to cut our razor wire, we will continue to do things that symbolically oppose the thing that we're allowing to happen. | ||
| Texas's razor wire is an effective deterrent to the illegal crossings border encouraged, the governor wrote, adding, I will continue to defend Texas's constitutional authority to secure the border and prevent the Biden administration from destroying our property. | ||
| Maybe he is. | ||
| Not bending the knee to this. | ||
| It's amazing how quickly the Supreme Court can act when it puts its mind to it. | ||
| Just like how amazing it is how quickly the border police can clean up entire camps of 12,000 people in a single night if they're given the order to do so. | ||
| Later Monday evening, Governor Abbott agreed with a tweet from Texas Department of Public Safety. | ||
| Spokesperson Chris... Olivares, who said despite the court's order, state law enforcement agencies would continue to conduct border operations. | ||
| Again, it's good to see. | ||
| It is good to see, and I think other states need to start contributing to this and sending their state troopers to be deputized into the Texas National Guard and to help this movement. | ||
| The state of Texas, under Greg Abbott's Operation Lone Star, will remain in its current posture of deterring illegal border crossings by utilizing effective border security measures, reinforced concertina wire, and anti-climb barriers along the Rio Grande. | ||
| Saying, quote, the logical concern should be why the federal government continues to hinder Texas's ability to protect its border, all while allowing for the exploitation dangerous and inhumane methods of permitting illegal immigrants, including children, to illegally cross a dangerous river where many have lost their lives. | ||
| Texas's It's the only state using every strategy and resource to protect its sovereignty, combat criminal activity, and discourage illegal immigration. | ||
| Texas will continue to hold the line. | ||
| The showdown between DHS and Texas is evoking strong emotions on the front lines and online. | ||
| Last week, Texas state troopers patrolling the Shelby Park area in question reportedly indicated they are, quote, prepared and ready to be arrested if it comes to that. | ||
| Which is one way of putting it. | ||
| How about instead of being prepared to be arrested, you be prepared to fight the people who would be illegally arresting you for trying to uphold the law? | ||
| How we doing, guys, on the spaces? | ||
| All right. Tucker Carlson asked, where are the men of Texas? | ||
| Of course, I just said, again, it's like, I get it. | ||
| It's frustrating. It is. | ||
| It's very frustrating that we can't handle this ourselves. | ||
| And in a state of anarchy, we could. | ||
| In a state of anarchy, just like... | ||
| The crime rates, the illegal immigration would be very easy to solve. | ||
| There would not be a problem. | ||
| And it would be fun. | ||
| It would honestly be fun. | ||
| How many college-age dudes do you think would respond to the clarion call if the Texas National Guard, the Texas governor... | ||
| Some state-approved militia said, hey, we got a couple million bucks here. | ||
| Come on down. We got bounties for illegal immigrants. | ||
| You capture them and bring them in. | ||
| You get $100. Bring your friends. | ||
| Get everyone you know who's got a gun. | ||
| Hop in a pickup truck. Come on down to the border for a weekend. | ||
| You can make $10,000 protecting the border. | ||
| I mean, it would be... Just like a fun afternoon. | ||
| Honestly. Honestly. | ||
| If the government wasn't actually doing this and threatening violence against anybody who gets in their way, Texas... | ||
| We could solve this. Instantly. | ||
| Instantly. They wouldn't even come. | ||
| I mean, the Mexicans wouldn't even come across anybody from wherever. | ||
| The Haitians or the Congolese or whoever else is slithering across our border. | ||
| They wouldn't even come because on the other side, it'd be a bunch of Texan dudes like, I'm here for fun, boys. | ||
| We're going to have fun today. | ||
| Cross the river. See what happens. | ||
| They wouldn't even try. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| We tried something a little new today. | ||
| Last week, last Friday, was the first time that we did a test of Twitter Spaces. | ||
| We got some of the kinks worked out. | ||
| On Monday, we went live, but we were using my phone, and I was hosting, but it's kind of hard for me to administer the space while also hosting the show, so today we set it up on a phone out in the control room that Chase is operating, so We're having a little bit of technical difficulties getting it all hammered out. | ||
| But hey, this is what happens when you try something new. | ||
| We try something untested. | ||
| But I do have it on good authority that we've got the kinks worked out. | ||
| I understand Matt Baker is now live. | ||
| Matt, can you read me? | ||
| San Diego. Hey, Matt Baker. | ||
|

|
So this... | |
| Now we have Matt Baker. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Rallying point, San Ysidro is how you pronounce it. | |
| Matt Baker, slave to liberty. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So I can be part of that. | |
| Are you listening? If anyone's in San Diego, California... | ||
| All right, let's bring Matt Baker down because I don't want to say something he doesn't know he's live. | ||
| Matt, you're live. Hello. | ||
| I did hear Liz Churchill just a second ago. | ||
| We can add her as a speaker. | ||
| She, of course, is the unofficial queen of the World Economic Forum. | ||
| I'm going to go ahead and mute Matt for a second. | ||
| And we can... Once Liz accepts the request as speaker. | ||
| Again, this is all worth it, folks. | ||
| All right, Liz, you should be on air now. | ||
| Thanks for joining our space. | ||
| Oh, hello, Harrison. | ||
| Great job, by the way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. I was just talking with Matt, yes. | |
| Yes, oh, it's great to be here. | ||
| I was just speaking with Matt in regards to your border crisis, and I was... | ||
| Telling him before I got cut off that this level of propaganda that you're seeing is no different than the Stalin-era propaganda where their state media told everybody that the economics are booming, there's more food than ever, but then you'd see a five-mile-long line for bread. | ||
| It's the same thing. | ||
| And it's really shocking that people aren't paying enough attention to this. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, and even, you know, you take something like the Soviet Union, which is just the epitome of despotism and evil. | ||
| Even they, I don't know if it went so far as to open their borders for anybody and everybody. | ||
| They actually had pretty strong borders back in the Soviet Union. | ||
| Like our country, they seem to actually just hate the people of our country. | ||
| Well, I think more importantly and more upsettingly is the fact that your Supreme Court Justices Roberts and Amy Commie Barrett betrayed you. | ||
| And in no way should they have stepped in and allowed the border to be unsecured. | ||
| This is a pure act of treason, in my opinion. | ||
| This is treason. And when you're allowing this amount of people to cross through the border and completely collapse your systems of education, health care, etc., you're falling straight into the playbook of the Cloward-Piven strategy. | ||
| And I know that you've touched base about this a lot, but that's exactly what we're seeing. | ||
| And until people understand the Democrat political strategy... | ||
| By Obama, by the way, then it will all make sense why they're doing this. | ||
| They're importing voters. | ||
| They're collapsing the system. | ||
| I can go on for a long time about this, but this is really an act of betrayal on the American people. | ||
| I completely agree. | ||
| And Greg Reese recently did a breakdown of the Cloward-Piven strategy. | ||
| You can find it at Bandot video just explaining exactly what it is and showing the evidence of how it's being implemented by the people in charge right now. | ||
| And as you said, it basically means overwhelming and collapsing a system because you want to usher in a new system that you couldn't get otherwise. | ||
| I mean, the classic problem-reaction-solution paradigm applies here. | ||
| What do we do about it, though? | ||
| Yes, I agree with you and I agree that the only thing that you could do legally and lawfully right now would be to secede from the government that is causing this. | ||
| You, the people, have the right to do that. | ||
| And if that means separating yourself from the tyranny of the other states and the Supreme Court and all of the other compromised crisis actors that are implementing this treasonous strategy at the Texas border needs to end. | ||
| And I'm telling you now that it is so awful. | ||
| And as a Canadian, I have not been there, but I spoke with Laura Logan last night. | ||
| And the tales of Wow, the human trafficking and the child sex trafficking are beyond my words. | ||
| I will tell you that there are boys and girls that are 10 years of age that require Wearing diapers because they have been assaulted so many times. | ||
| And this is exactly what is happening at the border. | ||
| And it is unbelievable that your government hasn't stepped in at least to combat this alone. | ||
| Set aside their fantasies of all of these, quote, asylum seekers, which we know are all To the tune of... | ||
| I could not agree more. | ||
| And I guess the question is, okay, if it's a political problem, then there's got to be a political solution. | ||
| And what that requires is having enough people aware of what's going on. | ||
| I shudder to think what the average person thinks is happening at the border who doesn't pay attention to this stuff, who just gets their news from CNN or whatever. | ||
| I'm sure if you ask them, they're just like, oh, it's a humanitarian crisis. | ||
| Everybody, they need our help and we got to open the border for them. | ||
| How do we get through to people? | ||
| I mean, the 80,000 number alone, and this is from like six months ago, so God only knows what it's up to now. | ||
| Probably at least 100,000 children taken by our government, given to strangers who we have no way of confirming their ID. I mean, these people don't even have IDs. | ||
| We're just giving these children to strangers. | ||
| Whistleblowers have said the children don't seem to recognize the people, the sponsors that they're given to. | ||
| 80,000 of them six months ago was 80,000 lost. | ||
| Just lost. Giving children away and they're never seen again. | ||
| They could be dead in a ditch. They could be slave labor somewhere. | ||
| They could be sex trafficked until they serve their usefulness and then disposed of. | ||
| And it's our government that's doing this. | ||
| If this isn't enough to get through to people, I don't know what is. | ||
| And isn't that what's necessary to have a political sea change to get the political will behind securing the border is awakening people to the reality of the situation? | ||
| How do we do that, Liz? You do that by using shock value because what you're dealing with right now are people that are in a hypnotic trance that are choosing the path of least resistance which means believing what their own eyes or not believing what their own eyes see. | ||
| It's truly a moment of cognitive dissonance. | ||
| And it's almost a moment where people are embarrassed because they're actually witnessing the very policies they thought they supported. | ||
| Now, they can't backtrack and say, oh, that's maybe not what I really wanted. | ||
| But they can't admit that they made a mistake. | ||
| So the problem is Unfortunately, people will have to learn by consequence. | ||
| And I posted a video earlier in regards to Josh McBroom from Naperville who stated that his wealthy community have large enough homes so they can now bring in illegal immigrants. | ||
| So this is the kind of thing I believe that needs to happen for people to feel the damages of the policies that they so vehemently support. | ||
| And until people realize that there are real consequences for having an open border, then nothing will change. | ||
| And we're not even addressing the fentanyl issue. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, this is biological warfare. | |
| That's completely different. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And The asymmetrical warfare that you're facing at the border is overwhelming. | |
| It's absolutely asymmetrical warfare. | ||
| I actually have that video. | ||
| I probably got it from your Twitter feed. | ||
| We're going to go to that on the other side, and we'll bring up more people from the spaces. | ||
| I know Matt Baker is now tuned in. | ||
| We've got some other callers, and we'll go to them. | ||
| Thank you, Liz Churchill. | ||
| But we'll be back in just one minute. | ||
| Don't go anywhere, folks. It's the final segment of American Journal very shortly. | ||
| Stay tuned. All right, welcome back. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, final segment of American Journal. | ||
| I know I see people sometimes going... | ||
| Commercial breaks in spaces? | ||
| Yeah, we're simulcasting. We're a radio show. | ||
| There's pre-programmed breaks. | ||
| We're a terrestrial radio show. | ||
| We're the first terrestrial radio show, as far as I know, to integrate spaces into the programming. | ||
| So we're trying to break new ground here technologically, and there's been a hiccup or two, but this is only our second time trying this, and so far, so good. | ||
| Just had a great appearance from Liz Churchill, who remains here as a speaker. | ||
| Matt Baker also has been able to call in. | ||
| Matt, we... We went to you earlier, but I don't think you noticed, but you're here now if you want to unmute yourself and join the space. | ||
| We're talking about the border and the illegal immigrants. | ||
| But actually, Matt, before you chime in, I do want to play the video that Liz brought up yesterday. | ||
| This is Napperville Councilman Josh McBroom. | ||
| He wants a sign-up list for people to keep immigrants in their own homes. | ||
| Clip number three. Let's go to this now, and we'll get comments from Matt Baker and others on the other side. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I do know that there's a lot of people that do care and I I think we live in a compassionate community. | |
| So you know before we go down the road of you know doing what you know following suit on some of these other cities are taking action on. | ||
| My idea would be, let's find out. | ||
| Let's find out who's willing to help. | ||
| So we do hear from constituents on both sides of this. | ||
| What are we gonna do to preemptively stop this? | ||
| And then we hear from people that tell us we should do more. | ||
| So we do have a very affluent community, a lot of big homes, and what I'd like to do is direct staff to create a sign-up sheet. | ||
| So for individuals that would be willing To house migrant families. | ||
| And if there's people that would do that, God bless them. | ||
| So if we could raise awareness in that way. | ||
| That's what he says. We can go ahead and bring it down, but that's the point. | ||
| Here's an idea. You got voter rolls? | ||
| I'll tell you what, everybody with the D next to their name, they've signed up. | ||
| They've signed up. They've cast their vote to allow this. | ||
| I think Democrats should get to live with the consequences of their decision. | ||
| I think if you have anybody that voted for Joe Biden in the last election, congratulations, your illegal immigrant is on their way. | ||
| Make a room for them. | ||
| Set aside a little part of your house to house the people that you invited here, you traitorous scumbags. | ||
| Of course, it's sort of an irony, isn't there, in that the Third Amendment of the United States is about Not quartering troops in private homes. | ||
| They never said anything about Guatemalans. | ||
| They never said anything about people from the Congo. | ||
| Those can be quartered in your house, apparently, because they're not technically troops, even though in any real sense they are. | ||
| Matt Baker, thank you for joining. | ||
| Sorry about the technical difficulties we had earlier. | ||
| Thanks for calling in. What's your take on this border situation, Matt? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No worries. Am I coming in loud and clear now? | |
| Loud and clear. Thanks for tuning in. | ||
| Okay. All right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I was like, oh my God, not again. | |
| Yeah, I was just keeping people going in the break there because the feed cut out. | ||
| So me and Liz were just taking the reins there for a second. | ||
| Beautiful. Yeah, so I want to thank everybody for being here. | ||
| This is absolutely amazing and awesome. | ||
| Super groundbreaking. This is so cool to be part of. | ||
| But yeah, I put something up in the Jumbotron. | ||
| Maybe one of the people could clip it out for today or tomorrow. | ||
| I just watched the movie with Tom Hanks where he's in the terminal. | ||
| Have you seen the terminal movie where he gets trapped? | ||
| He's like a Russian guy trapped in the terminal. | ||
| Yeah, I remember he has to live in the airport for a while. | ||
|
unidentified
|
True story. Well, there's a particular scene in that movie. | |
| Yeah. There's a particular scene in that movie where the guy who runs basically the security, he's like... | ||
| He wants to get him out of there. | ||
| So he's just like, look, hey, I was just wondering if you have anything you're possibly afraid of. | ||
| He gives them the breakdown on how you apply for asylum. | ||
| There's a clip in that movie that shows exactly how they do it. | ||
| He was just saying, look, you could be scared of a balloon popping. | ||
| You could be scared of your wife. | ||
| You could be scared of anything. He's like, just say you're scared of something. | ||
| For some reason, the guy was Tom Hanks in the movie. | ||
| He's just like... I'm not scared. | ||
| And, you know, I went down there with all these ideas of what I was going to do, maybe even make comedy bits and stuff. | ||
| You go down there, and it's a nightmare. | ||
| I mean, literally, the humanitarian crisis is real. | ||
| But it's because we're putting sugar out there and bringing these people up. | ||
| If this fake asylum stuff wasn't going on, these people wouldn't be dragging their children across, you know, deserts and stuff like that. | ||
| One last thing, the San Ysidro was on that list, and that's right down the street from me. | ||
| So if anybody wants to hit up that, let's go down there and do the San Ysidro version with Luke and me. | ||
| So go ahead. You're talking about the Take Our Borders Back caravan. | ||
| The story's at Infowars.com. | ||
| They're rallying on three different points along the border to take back our border convoy, inviting active and retired law enforcement, military veterans, elected officials, business owners, ranchers, truckers, bikers, and Matt Baker to gather together for three rallies in three states, Eagle Pass, Texas, Yuma, Arizona, and Matt Baker to gather together for three rallies in three states, Eagle Pass, So I hope to see a lot of people out there. | ||
| Again, I'm not trying to send conflicting messages. | ||
| We need to be involved. | ||
| We need to be active. We need to be... | ||
| Doing everything we can to actually secure the border. | ||
| At the same time, it's not a feasible solution to suggest that militias go down and just start defending the border ourselves. | ||
| In the modern construct, that's not the case. | ||
| We need to change the political landscape, and we can do that through protest and political activism. | ||
| I just saw somebody on Twitter saying, you're sending conflicting messages. | ||
| I'm not trying to. I'm just trying to be smart. | ||
| I'm trying to actually treat this like the existential threat that it is. | ||
| In an intelligent way that actually will have a positive outcome. | ||
| But you're exactly right. You know, I liken it to like, it's like a magic spell. | ||
| It's like, no, you just have to say open sesame and suddenly you're an asylum seeker. | ||
| Just say the right words in the right order and the UN will give you a card of exactly what to say and how. | ||
| And by saying open sesame, you're suddenly an asylum seeker. | ||
| Welcome to the United States. Here's your $2,000 in free cell phone. | ||
| It's... It's like a magic trick they're playing, like they're wizards. | ||
| But I totally agree, and that's a great point. | ||
| I hadn't seen that scene from the terminal, but that sounds very interesting. | ||
| I know Heather Kaiser, the crew tells me, is ready to speak. | ||
| Heather, I'll go ahead and bring you up on stage now. | ||
| Whenever you're connected, you can go ahead and chime in. | ||
| I see Daryl Jane is already a speaker right here. | ||
| So again, this is how Spaces works. | ||
| If you want to make yourself live and chime in, I have less control over who's talking than typically when we do it with the landline phones. | ||
| But Heather, I see that you are now a speaker. | ||
| If you want to unmute yourself and say hello to the spaces as well as all of our listeners on band.video and Infowars.com forward slash show and Rumble and Terrestrial Radio, however you're finding us, congratulations on getting past the censorship. Heather, go ahead if you want to take yourself live. Can you hear me? I hear you. Thanks for joining us. Yeah, so I think that you're talking really like two separate issues. One is a stop the bleed kind of issue. Like | ||
|
unidentified
|
you need to put the tourniquet on the border. And then there's the long-term policy issues. | |
| And what is really frustrating is that a lot of people have put out like bits and pieces. | ||
| I know Alex has covered this like ad nauseum. | ||
| He's very familiar with this issue and he's extremely informed on it. | ||
| But what people are not doing is connecting the issues. | ||
| Not only do we have our own bad policies, which are pulling the migrants, the invaders, into the United States, we also have push factors. | ||
| It's coming from the U.N., subsidiary U.N. agencies such as IOM, which is the largest migration agency in the entire world, which is funded by the United States. | ||
| The United States is the largest funder of the U.N. and all subsidiary agencies. | ||
| And all of A lot of this is coming partially because the Sustainable Development Goal number 10, reducing inequalities, 10.7 is migration. | ||
| It's pushing migration, and everybody is embracing this, and that's part of it. | ||
| But people are getting funding, transnational corporations. | ||
| NGOs, nonprofits, they've got the SDGs as part of their mission statement. | ||
| But when we look at the policy, there's two sides to it. | ||
| One is cutting funding to the UN. I mean, just in the time that we've been under Biden, we've had a huge increase in foreign aid and foreign spending. | ||
| But the other is the two laws that allow this to happen. | ||
| They have to be eliminated. | ||
| One is the Migration and Refugee Assistance Act of 1962 that specifically states that the president is hereby authorized to continue membership of the United States in the Intergovernmental Committee for European Migration in accordance with the Constitution approved in Venice, Italy. | ||
| Heather, we're running out of time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What's the other law? The other law is the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. | |
| That is what allows all of our foreign aid money. | ||
| We can't just get rid of USAID. You have to get rid of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. | ||
| 100%. We gotta, you know, undo those laws. | ||
| We gotta, unfortunately, in the asylum system, since it's so easily taken advantage of, it just, it can't continue. | ||
| We can't continue to be invaded like this. | ||
| And I would say, you know, all it would really take would be somebody, a president or an authority, treating this with the seriousness it deserves and rounding up the NGOs and anybody else participating in this as, you know, a RICO case, a coordinated criminal network designed to break our laws. | ||
| Arrest them. It's not complicated. | ||
| Just arrest them. I think that's pretty simple. | ||
| Thank you, everybody, for joining us. | ||
| We are going to be back tomorrow on Spaces. | ||
| We're getting the kinks worked out. | ||
| But I'm loving this so far, so thank you for tuning in, thank you for chiming in, and we'll see you tomorrow. | ||

While other networks lie to you about what's happening now, Infowars tells you the truth about what's happening next. | |
| Infowars.com forward slash show. | ||
| Anybody that's paid attention to Infowars and what we do knows we're at the center of the zeitgeist. | ||
| We literally beat ourselves to death to be as accurate as we can, unlike the corporate-controlled dinosaur media that lies on purpose. | ||
| While they're lying to you about today's news, we're telling you the truth about what's coming next. | ||
| So I am fully focused. | ||
| I'm being as accurate and researched and truthful as I can, and letting the chips fall where they may. | ||
| So when I bring you a product, and all our products are incredible, and I tell you it's game-changing, and quite frankly, you should be careful. | ||
| You can take it to the bank. | ||
| I want you. | ||
| Particularly those on the fence that have never gotten a product at infoworkstore.com to go to infoworkstore.com and I want you to get foundational energy. | ||
| You can take X2, the cleanest iodine out there, goes right in your cells, takes two weeks to kick in on average, and then you're sold. | ||
| And it's great. And it's the same level as this with cellular function. | ||
| But this is the missing link. | ||
| This is the breakdown product. | ||
| Most people's cells have problems doing it. | ||
| Some people have major problems doing it. | ||
| But methylfolate is the breakdown of folic acid. | ||
| And then you give it B-Complex that's organic. | ||
| It supercharges it like nitrous oxide in a funny car or a drag racer. | ||
| So this is already all the rage. | ||
| You don't have a cellular methylfolate. | ||
| But this has the B-Complex. | ||
| It's the highest quality and it funds the Infowar. | ||
| So you can buy methylfolate somewhere else and it's great. | ||
| But this funds the Infowar, so it's a 360 win. | ||
| Get your foundational energy and experience it and be careful. | ||
| Only take one at first. I took one today. | ||
| I'm climbing the walls for the last 10 hours. | ||
| I'm shooting this ad at night. | ||
| I mean, it's not a stimulant, folks. | ||
| It's cellular energy. | ||
| You add stuff like Turbo Force or X2 or stuff to this, it's crazy. |
