There's an conspiracy out right now that says that they tried to let it happen. | |
That Secret Service let it happen. | ||
Take this to the bank, okay? | ||
That person was allowed to scale that roof. | ||
Look, they're all pointing. | ||
Yeah, someone's on top of the roof, look. | ||
There he is, right there. | ||
Right there, see him? | ||
unidentified
|
He's laying down, see him? | |
Yeah, he's laying down. | ||
We noticed a guy crawling... | ||
Armed, you know, bear crawling up the roof of the building beside us, 50 feet away from us. | ||
So we're standing there, you know, we're pointing at the guy crawling up the roof. | ||
And he had a gun, right? | ||
He had a rifle. | ||
A rifle. | ||
We could clearly see him with a rifle, absolutely. | ||
We're pointing at him. | ||
The police are down there running around on the ground. | ||
We're like, hey man, there's a guy on the roof with a rifle. | ||
Yeah, look. | ||
There he is. | ||
Because we have millions and millions of people in our country that shouldn't be here. | ||
Dangerous people. | ||
Criminals. | ||
We have criminals. | ||
We have criminals. | ||
We have people that should not be here. | ||
Next thing you know, I'm like, I'm thinking to myself, I'm like, why is Trump still speaking? | ||
Why have they not pulled him off the stage? | ||
I'm standing there pointing at him for, you know, two, three minutes. | ||
Secret Service is looking at us from the top of the barn. | ||
I'm pointing at that roof, just standing there like this. | ||
And next thing you know, five shots ring out. | ||
New video shows the moments before shots were fired, with witnesses screaming that a man has a gun, followed by rapid gunfire breaking out with Donald Trump speaking during the rally. | ||
unidentified
|
He's got a gun! | |
Run! | ||
-Rots, get over here! -Rots, get over here! -Rots, get over here! -And the police were like, "Huh, what?" They didn't know what was going on. | ||
We're like, hey, right here on the roof. | ||
We can see him from right here. | ||
We see him. | ||
He's crawling. | ||
I was up at the fence line, saw the guy move from roof to roof. | ||
It's shocking to me that nobody took action. | ||
While Trump is speaking here, and the shooter somehow shot Trump before this guy reacted. | ||
Regular people spot this guy. | ||
You're telling me the Secret Service sharpshooters didn't spot this guy? | ||
They have binoculars, they have drone coverage. | ||
unidentified
|
You're telling me this guy was able to walk up Let me tell you, they get there days before. | |
Let me tell you how a security apparatus is supposed to run. | ||
Days before they get in and they look at every possible angle in which somebody could hurt the president. | ||
Where the hell was the aerial visual support? | ||
Why was there no helicopter? | ||
Why was there no drone? | ||
Why was there no FLIR? | ||
unidentified
|
Why was there no thermal, forward-looking infrared? | |
How the hell is the crowd acting as the freaking counter-surveillance operation? | ||
I know, and that's the best asset you have, is random Trump supporters telling police that there's a guy with a gun? | ||
These guys were on the roof next to Trump, and they're looking directly at where that building is. | ||
And that's their whole training. | ||
Their whole training is to be scanning for any danger. | ||
They don't go cold red, get the president down. | ||
unidentified
|
And that's their whole training. | |
Their whole training is to be scanning for any danger. | ||
So everybody needs to get it through their head that the deep state tried to kill Trump. | ||
And they knew who this guy was, and they said he was a major threat, and they knew he was in the town, and then they sit there for minutes while everybody sees this guy on the roof with a gun. | ||
For our radio listeners, they're actually filming this guy climbing on the roof. | ||
They're zooming in on him. | ||
They're pointing at him. | ||
They're yelling at the police. | ||
And there's dozens of people watching, so that's where that video ends. | ||
unidentified
|
- In fact, if they could ever put up a chart, I don't know if they could do it. - Go to the main feed here. - Do you guys have access to that chart that I love so much? | |
You don't mind if I go off? | ||
That was a minute. | ||
So for a full minute, you guys have been climbing on the roof with his rifle in full view of everybody, including law enforcement. | ||
All right, folks, that was a compilation of just some of the evidence of a stand down yesterday. | ||
We have more evidence on that today. | ||
We have a vice president pick. | ||
We have the first night of the RNC. | ||
I don't know where I'm landing on this. | ||
I'm switching between it's so over and we're so back. | ||
I'm spinning around like a top over here. | ||
We'll talk about it all. | ||
Stay with us. | ||
as your calls and more. | ||
unidentified
|
You're tuned in to the American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | |
Watch it live right now at band.video. | ||
I think it's time to blow this thing. | ||
Get everybody in the stuff together. | ||
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
Welcome to the American Journal. | ||
I'm your host Harrison Smith. | ||
Infowars.com. | ||
Band.video. | ||
Last night was the first night of the RNC. | ||
We'll show you some clips from that. | ||
We'll go over what was said. | ||
And I'll be expressing my supreme disappointment. | ||
What an abysmal cringe fest. | ||
I'm not I'm not happy about it. | ||
I thought I thought it was bad. | ||
I thought it was very bad. | ||
I don't know. | ||
We'll take your calls. | ||
And it's like, you know, I was thinking about this. | ||
I was thinking about doing this myself, but I think I need some sort of advanced mathematical degree. | ||
I would love to see a Venn diagram of where people stand, where groups of people stand on it on various topics. | ||
Because I feel like there's it's like there's two sides to every topic. | ||
And where somebody's gonna come down, I couldn't possibly tell you. | ||
The number, so you got J.D. | ||
Vance being announced as Trump's running mate. | ||
So that would be one of the topics, and it's like, okay, the America Firsters hate him. | ||
But so do the Socialists and the Democrats. | ||
The neocons seem to like him, but so do the anti-neocon Tucker Carlson types. | ||
Okay, this is kind of confusing. | ||
And then the RNC last night. | ||
It's like, again, the America Firsters, the Gropers, mocking it, thinking it was terrible. | ||
Strangely, Matt Walsh on their side in this topic, while other people on the right were celebrating it and thought it was great and wonderful. | ||
I just, I don't know where anybody lands anymore these days. | ||
I don't know what the, there's no simple breakdown. | ||
It's all, it's all very convoluted. | ||
I don't even know what the Venn diagram would look like, what the chart would look like. | ||
But it just seems like so often, it's like, now wait, I'm on the side of the progressives on this? | ||
This doesn't make any sense. | ||
I'm on the side of the neocons with this? | ||
Well, wait, this doesn't make any sense at all. | ||
And why am I against the America First people on this? | ||
And for the... It's all very confusing. | ||
It's all very confusing. | ||
So, I just thought the RNC was, was just honestly pathetic. | ||
It was so bad. | ||
It was so bad. | ||
And it wasn't anything in particular that stood out. | ||
It looked fine. | ||
Look at that, an American flag. | ||
What do you know? | ||
Glory be. | ||
It was more of just the vibe. | ||
The vibe was bad. | ||
The vibe was very bad. | ||
It was very much, um... It was very weak. | ||
I mean, the talking points in the RNC yesterday, 2024, We're the same ones I was hearing in 2016. | ||
And it's like, what are we doing here? | ||
What are we doing? | ||
I heard about the economy probably four times more than any other topic. | ||
And I get it, the economy impacts people. | ||
But it's not like they were even pitching the economy in a way that would resonate with anybody. | ||
There's like yelling statistics. | ||
And it's just like, what? | ||
They're just like, dry good prices are down! | ||
And it's like, what? | ||
What is going on here? | ||
What is this? | ||
There's like unemployment is up 25% and it's like this is not inspiring. | ||
This is this doesn't even resonate. | ||
I just kept thinking about what the RNC is going to do, what the RNC is going to be like. | ||
And while I find their style of politicking even more distasteful. | ||
It's at least effective. | ||
It's at least effective because they play on emotions. | ||
And, and it's, it's just crazy to me because you're watching the RNC yesterday and the speeches sound like they're the speeches from 2020. | ||
They sound like the Republicans are going for reelection on the back of a successful administration. | ||
Kristi Noem gets up and I guess she's talking about South Dakota, the state where she's governor. | ||
But she's, you know, it's like, here we are. | ||
At this time where Republicans are being rounded up and thrown into jail. | ||
To this day, on the back of January 6th. | ||
Being sentenced to prison for decades with terrorism enhancement. | ||
The President of the United States just avoided having his face blown off on live TV by millimeters. | ||
You've got revelation after revelation about the deep state Working with influencers to see the narrative that Trump supporters are domestic terrorists. | ||
The FBI is screening their agents and asking if they're Trump supporters and if so rejecting them from employment. | ||
Our entire government is being overthrown. | ||
It's not even like one coup. | ||
It's like a variety of coups. | ||
They're like trying to disbar the Supreme Court and the DOJ is operating without any oversight from Congress. | ||
Everything is being stripped away and despoiled and usurped. | ||
And Republicans are up there going, when Trump was president, the economy was good! | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
And it's like, what are we doing here? | ||
unidentified
|
What is this? | |
What is this? | ||
Because you know the Democrats always present their arguments as there's this evil force of white supremacist misogynists that are out to kill all of the black children and we must save them and we are what America is and they're redefining America and they're speaking with hope and tenacity and they're standing up And the Republicans are acting like they're in charge. | ||
And it's like people not get that the sides have changed. | ||
Like, this is not the case anymore. | ||
The Democrats are fully in charge of everything. | ||
They're dominating everything. | ||
They're crushing opposition in complete abandon, total disregard of constitutional limitations or any other limitation, decency or humanity or mercy or anything else. | ||
Well, the Republicans are just being crushed underfoot like a bug in most of the cases. | ||
And the Republicans are out here cheering and chanting, and we're the best, and we're super successful in the economy, the economy, the economy. | ||
And you know the Democrats are going to act like besieged minorities in a desperate fight for their life. | ||
And it's like, no, we've switched places, guys. | ||
No, we've switched places. | ||
We are the despised minority now being crushed and we have to stand up and fight for our lives. | ||
We are not in charge. | ||
Nobody cares about the economy. | ||
What they care about is sob stories about individuals. | ||
I didn't even hear one of those. | ||
That's the thing. | ||
If you're going to talk about the economy, You don't just spout percentage points. | ||
Nobody cares. | ||
It doesn't impact anybody. | ||
Literally, I mean, there were speeches where it was just like reading a consumer price index report. | ||
They're sitting there like, rent is up 15% and groceries are up 25%. | ||
It's like, what does that know? | ||
What you need to do is talk about a single mother that just had to put down one of her children because she couldn't afford to feed it anymore. | ||
You need to have sob stories that resonate with people to put a human touch on the percentage points to tell how it impacts the people listening to convince them that you're a better choice. | ||
They didn't even get into why these things are happening. | ||
Like it wasn't like You know, the price of this is up, and that's because Biden did this. | ||
And because what they should be doing is pitching to the American people. | ||
And I get it. | ||
I get it. | ||
The RNC is a unique. | ||
It's a political event. | ||
It's partly for outreach. | ||
You know, you want, cause this is the thing, you remember being like an 18 year old kid? | ||
You remember being a 19, 20 year old kid, never really paid that much attention to politics, but you've got a pretty good idea of what's going on and you're not exactly, you know, ignorant to all the stuff happening. | ||
You get how corporations screw you over and how the government is underhanded and you get all that and you, For tuning in, you know, I'll check out the RNC. | ||
I'm a big boy. | ||
I'll look into politics now. | ||
How about I watch politics instead of playing video games today? | ||
That's what adults do. | ||
You turn it on and it's just these kind of, these like poor speakers just talking about statistics. | ||
It was like, it's like a parody. | ||
It's like a parody of conservatives. | ||
No, but no young person watching that is going to be fired up. | ||
No young person. | ||
Or no, you know, liberal who typically is, you know, votes Democrat forever. | ||
But in the last four years they've seen, they saw what happened with COVID and then they, kid's teacher is like trans now and they're not sure how they feel about that. | ||
And, you know, they're, they're kind of worried that if they speak up, they might get in trouble and, They don't like that that's the situation. | ||
That makes them kind of uncomfortable. | ||
But, I mean, they're still liberal. | ||
But I don't know. | ||
Things are kind of – then they tune into the RNC and it's just like, well, this is nothing. | ||
They're not talking about anything I care about. | ||
They're talking about the economy. | ||
But, you know, for a lot of Americans, they don't really even notice or think that the economy can be controlled. | ||
They really just react to changes in prices, like changes in the wind. | ||
They're just like, Oh yeah, but prices are higher now. | ||
That just happened. | ||
It's nobody's fault. | ||
It just occurs. | ||
We're all trying to deal with it. | ||
I heard Republicans like 10 times yesterday, talk about Joe Biden in a way that made him seem just wasn't very good at his job. | ||
Some of the quotes were just like, Biden's asleep at the wheel. | ||
It's like, okay, yeah, kinda, kinda no, but actually he's awake at the wheel and he's deliberately driving us off a cliff, actually. | ||
Like, do they understand the way you phrase things? | ||
They're presenting it like Biden's just, he's just trying his best, but darn it, he's just too old. | ||
It's like, that's not a compelling argument and it's not the truth either. | ||
Everything that's happening is by design. | ||
None of this is because Biden is trying his hardest and just not doing a good job. | ||
No, he is deliberately crashing the country. | ||
They need to... And again, it's like, it's the young people. | ||
It's the people that haven't really been political, but are seeing what's going on. | ||
This Biden guy doesn't seem like he's the best fit. | ||
I don't know if he's really the... The things they're doing to kids these days. | ||
I don't really know about that. | ||
You got a lot of people out there They're kind of feeling that way. | ||
The RNC yesterday gave them absolutely nothing. | ||
And then there's, like, the people my age, and, you know, maybe a little bit older, who have young kids, and they all see, like, man, it's hard to buy a house. | ||
Man, nobody can afford anything anymore. | ||
Man, this whole system is failing. | ||
It's corrupt. | ||
It needs rejuvenation. | ||
It needs something to change because, you know, decent people working hard are being screwed over. | ||
And they need to be pitched to these people need to be told why this is happening and how to fix it. | ||
You know, the RNC was they told them it was happening, but they already know it's happening. | ||
They don't need to be convinced. | ||
How many TikTok videos have we seen of young people literally weeping in their car sobbing or or older people linemen and and you know, Construction workers, like, bawling in their car, just like, I can't do this, I can't, you know, veterans, all these people just suffering, just feeling the pain of the middle class being squeezed, being crushed out of existence. | ||
Where are the pitches to, like, the normal people? | ||
Where are the celebrations of, like, what America is really all about? | ||
unidentified
|
Like, where are... | |
Where the groups of like little kids, uh, you know, playing and singing in choirs, where it's like all we get like an ex porn star and some Hindu lady chanting to a demon. | ||
I mean, it was just weird. | ||
It was just weird and uncompelling and boring and lame. | ||
The speakers were uncharismatic. | ||
The topics they were talking about don't resonate with anybody. | ||
It was just bad. | ||
It was all very bad. | ||
And again, it wasn't even, it wasn't a particular part. | ||
It wasn't one particular thing. | ||
It was the attitude of just like, do you people have any idea what's going on in this country? | ||
Do you have any idea the attack that we're under? | ||
Do you have any plans to fight back against it? | ||
Or do you have platitudes that were outdated last election cycle? | ||
Where is the urgency? | ||
Where is the fury at what is being done to our country? | ||
And again, I get it. | ||
The RNC, it's like part leader outreach, but the main part is sort of like party cohesiveness and it's just supposed to be high energy. | ||
And it's not really the place for like in-depth policy speeches. | ||
You do just sort of want, you know, talking points or, you know, applause breaks. | ||
The biggest applause break I saw last night, And I stopped watching after a little while. | ||
I honestly couldn't take it. | ||
I think it was Byron... Byron Daniels? | ||
Is that his name? | ||
He was probably my favorite speaker out of all of it, but the biggest applause break was, the Republicans are not racist! | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
Yeah! | ||
And he like leaves the podium and is like, like shouting to the crowd, but he's not in front of the microphone. | ||
He's like, It's just like, great. | ||
Yeah, we're not racist. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
Yeah! | ||
Okay. | ||
Cool. | ||
No, this is, this is great. | ||
unidentified
|
It's great. | |
It's really great. | ||
I just don't get it. | ||
I just don't get what the, what the play is here, what the angle is, what the, how this is supposed to inspire anybody. | ||
And again, I sort of saw the same thing with, with, J.D. | ||
Vance yesterday. | ||
Like, I get blackpilled at certain things, right? | ||
When an obvious lie spreads like wildfire, that can be very blackpilling, right? | ||
When they talk about January 6th being an insurrection, you just go, people actually believe this? | ||
And they keep saying it? | ||
Like, oh my God, you know, Joe Biden, these are cheap fakes. | ||
Joe Biden is perfectly capable. | ||
And you're like, everybody believes this? | ||
Really? | ||
They're going with this and nobody is calling them on it? | ||
That's kind of depressing. | ||
You know, other things the Democrats do when you hear about some new, you know, when they pass some FISA warrantless spying thing, or when they empower the spy state even more, and it's just like, really? | ||
We're still doing this? | ||
Here are the Republicans. | ||
They're supposed to protect us from this, but they're just going along with it. | ||
Just when you hear about these things, it can be very blackpilling. | ||
Nothing, to me, is more blackpilling than our own side. | ||
And I don't know, I don't know what to do about that. | ||
I really don't. | ||
J.D. | ||
Vance, I think, is a good example. | ||
I don't know if you could find anybody in politics that is a better fit for the far-right, very online community. | ||
He is a member of it. | ||
He follows all these dissident accounts. | ||
He's very much online. | ||
He's a white guy in his 30s from the Midwest. | ||
He's a massive success story. | ||
His, his early life was brutal. | ||
Absolutely brutal. | ||
His mom was addicted to drugs. | ||
His dad left the family. | ||
He ended up getting adopted and getting, you know, moved around from family to a total American success story. | ||
He seems like a based dude long story short, but then it's like a video like this will come out and people are just like, he's Israel first. | ||
It's like, if you, If you thought that it was ever a remote possibility that the vice president pick would be somebody who'd never gone and genuflected to the wall, to the Israeli wall, like you don't, what are you talking about? | ||
Why does our side indulge in fantasy so often? | ||
And if you're mad that the vice presidential pick of Donald Trump is a pro-Israel person, I don't know what to make of you. | ||
Because Trump is incredibly pro-Israel, so why do you care? | ||
If to you, the only thing that matters is whether somebody's pro-Israel or not, and the fact that J.D. | ||
Vance is not anti-Israel. | ||
I mean, he's pretty pro-Israel, but so is literally everybody in our government. | ||
To varying degrees. | ||
You can find article after article about him withholding, you know, trying to block funds going to Israel and, you know, it's one of the ironies, right, is the far right is like, he's a, she's a, Israel first, he's a Jewish plant. | ||
And then the far left is like, he's a Nazi, he's Hitler reborn. | ||
And it's like, okay, all right, let's calm down. | ||
Let's calm down. | ||
So think about all the other options. | ||
Think about all the Nikki Haley's and Marco Rubio's that Trump could have picked. | ||
JD Vance is like nine stars out of 10. | ||
He like fits the mold for what you would want in a successor to the MAGA movement. | ||
And yet when I post just a very tepid approval of JD Vance, What I said verbatim was what I've said on this show many times. | ||
When you're choosing the vice presidential candidate, the only metric you should be judging them by is whether they can be the president. | ||
Whether they can, at a moment's notice, pick up the mantle and run this country. | ||
You don't want this position being chosen to maybe get a few extra votes in this particular demographic. | ||
Or we'll pander to the women and have a lady as a vice president. | ||
You don't want that coming into the decision-making process. | ||
So, sorry, you know this. | ||
I've said this before. | ||
The tweet I said was that. | ||
It was, when you're choosing a vice president, that's the only thing you consider. | ||
To me, J.D. | ||
Vance is a good pick in that regard. | ||
And it shows that Trump is thinking about the nation, not some political maneuver. | ||
Right? | ||
And this is the... | ||
The backfiring of diversity drives, right, is if you choose a black guy or a white woman or a woman of any color, it feels like you're pandering. | ||
It feels like you're pandering. | ||
Whether you are or not, maybe they're the best qualified, but how many times have people been picked for these positions? | ||
Not because they're best qualified, but because of the immutable characteristics that apparently define politics at this point. | ||
So yeah, maybe the best person for the job would be a minority of some sort, but with the way politics is now, it's almost like it doesn't seem like that. | ||
It doesn't seem like that, typically. | ||
And so why are all of the supposed Trump supporters, so many of the supposed Trump supporters, so furious at J.D. | ||
Vance being picked? | ||
He touched the wall because he wears eyeliner. | ||
Does he wear eyeliner? | ||
I don't know. | ||
He says he thinks. | ||
unidentified
|
And people are like, this is cope. | |
It's like, it's literally what I've been saying for months, if not years on this show. | ||
How could it possibly be cope? | ||
I was coping with things before they happened, apparently. | ||
I'm a precognitive coper, I guess. | ||
So we'll get into all of it. | ||
And again, J.D. | ||
Vance, he's like, as good as you could possibly hope for with a Trump appointee. | ||
Now, I wish we lived in a world where the politicians who represent Americans didn't have to go debase themselves and worship at a Roman fort as a sign of subjugation to the Jewish lobby. | ||
But that's where we are. | ||
At this point. | ||
So it's just like why. | ||
Why make demands that will never be made. | ||
Like this is the ridiculous thing. | ||
The people who don't like J.D. Vance. | ||
Who would you prefer? | ||
Who would you prefer? | ||
If it's not going to be Thomas Massey. | ||
It's not going to be anybody. | ||
Like he's the only one. | ||
That I can tell. | ||
That's like a Republican. | ||
Maybe Rand Paul I guess. | ||
But even he. | ||
You know took the trip. | ||
Took the pledge that Thomas Massey was talking about. | ||
From APAC. | ||
unidentified
|
. | |
So who would you rather have? | ||
Who else would you prefer over J.D. | ||
Vance? | ||
Oh, there's not an option? | ||
Okay, so you're just complaining about the best possible choice? | ||
So nothing that Trump does will ever please you? | ||
Like, you're setting an impossibly high bar and then just being mad that it's not met? | ||
Great. | ||
Do you want to win? | ||
Can you possibly... Do you have any room in your conception of the world for, like, strategic thinking at all? | ||
Or does everything have to be totally black and white? | ||
We'll get into the Daily Dispatch on the other side. | ||
I just wanted to rant a little bit about the fact that our country is on the verge of total collapse, World War III about to start, and the people we're relying on to stop it. | ||
unidentified
|
It's a great pleasure to be here. | |
Great pleasure to see President Donald Trump safe. | ||
And if I may, before the benediction, give you this promise: You're going to be so blessed. | ||
You're going to be tired of being blessed. | ||
I guarantee it. | ||
Believe me. | ||
Let us pray. | ||
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. | ||
Amen. | ||
Almighty God, you have given us this good land as our heritage. | ||
Grant that we remember your generosity and constantly do your will. | ||
Bless our land with honest industry, truthful education, and an honorable way of life. | ||
Save us from violence, discord and confusion, from pride and arrogance, and from every evil course of action. | ||
We give thanks to you for keeping President Trump safe. | ||
We pray for the families of those affected by the demonic violence at the rally on Saturday. | ||
And we pray you would send your holy angels to guard and keep President Trump from all harm and danger. | ||
Grant that we who came from many nations with many different languages may become a united people. | ||
Support us in defending our liberties, and give those to whom we have entrusted the authority of government the spirit and wisdom that there may be justice and peace in our land. | ||
When times are prosperous, may our hearts be thankful. | ||
And in troubled times, do not let our trust in you fail. | ||
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. | ||
Amen. | ||
So that was a prayer given, a benediction. | ||
Thanking God for sparing Donald Trump on Saturday. | ||
We have a lot of news on that front as well to get to. | ||
We'll be covering the RNC a little bit more with Kriston T. Harris later in the show. | ||
I'll take your calls throughout the second hour, getting your input on all of this. | ||
Where do you land in the Venn diagram of approval and disapproval of all these various topics? | ||
Again, I don't know. | ||
I don't know what the sides are anymore. | ||
It's all very confusing. | ||
Like I said, we have some interesting news when it comes to the assassination attempt, President Donald Trump. | ||
And in a similar way to, you know, the, the actual assassination attempt, like I was saying yesterday, how it's, it doesn't really matter what the, what the truth of it is. | ||
It's all evidence of a deep state that is frantic, panicking and failing and losing control, letting their grip slip no longer in the driver's seat. | ||
And whether it was a Deep state conspiracy to pull this off or whether it was just a radicalized kid and the, you know, DEI policies of secret service. | ||
It's just all compounds to create this horrible situation. | ||
And it extends now beyond the actual events to what happens after and what we've learned about what has happened after where everybody is just desperately trying to point to everybody else and say it's their fault. | ||
Some of the things that have been announced about the assassination attempt don't even make sense, really. | ||
At all. | ||
They say that the roof where the sniper was was supposed to be or was a sniper's nest for the local officers. | ||
It's like, that doesn't even make sense. | ||
No, it wasn't, because they aren't up there. | ||
Like, how can you say that this was You know where the local police were if they're not there. | ||
It just this makes no sense. | ||
Total nonsense. | ||
Now there are other eyewitnesses saying they think there's actually a different shooter. | ||
But I think maybe what's happened is that the Secret Service was up on the water tower. | ||
And people heard that shot and thought that there was a second shooter in the water tower. | ||
We'll show you those. | ||
Videos, interviews, where people are saying that. | ||
Yeah, we'll get into all the updates from the assassination right now. | ||
This is from WPXI. | ||
Alleged Trump shooter spotted by law enforcement nearly 30 minutes before shots fired, sources say. | ||
Of course, we've seen the video. | ||
At least two minutes prior to the shots ringing out, people frantically running around trying to warn the police, trying to point out the sniper on the roof getting into position to kill Trump and nothing being done. | ||
Two minutes seemed like an extremely long time to allow this to go on without so much as radioing in the threat. | ||
Now apparently it's 30 minutes. | ||
Channel 11 News uncovered dramatic new details Monday in the moments leading up to the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. | ||
According to multiple law enforcement sources, Thomas Crooks was spotted by law enforcement on a roof nearly 30 minutes before shots were fired that injured Trump, killed a former fire chief, and injured two others in the crowd. | ||
So he was on the roof near the rally at 5.45 p.m. | ||
Beaver County's ESU team, which I'm not sure what that stands for, but had eight members at the rally, including snipers and spotters. | ||
According to Ford's sources, this is Channel 11's Nicole Ford, one of them noticed a suspicious man on a roof near the rally at 5.45 p.m., called it in, and took pictures of the person. | ||
We have learned from our sources that the person in the picture was Thomas Crooks. | ||
We're told it's not clear if Crooks had a gun with him at that point. | ||
According to multiple sources, a law enforcement officer also previously saw Crooks on the ground and called him in as a suspicious person with a picture prior to 5.45 p.m. | ||
Our sources tell us an officer checked the grounds for Crooks at that point, but did not see him where the first picture was taken. | ||
That was 26 minutes before shots rang out. | ||
So there's a stand down. | ||
So they knew about this guy before the event even started. | ||
30 minutes before shots rang out, he was spotted on the roof? | ||
I mean, if this... Dude, if this was all... What the official narrative so far says, that this was just a lone gunman... He must have been confused. | ||
He must have been, like... Like, I didn't expect to get this far. | ||
He was on the roof for 30 minutes? | ||
30 minutes. | ||
That's an extremely long time. | ||
What was he even doing up there? | ||
He's probably waiting to get caught. | ||
Probably sitting there like, there's no way. | ||
They gotta be finding me soon. | ||
I guess I'll crawl to the top. | ||
I guess I'll just go take the shot then. | ||
Like, what was going through his head when he was just, you know, in front of everybody? | ||
unidentified
|
What's that? | |
Maybe it's on his phone. | ||
Yeah, maybe it's on his phone. | ||
Well, the FBI has already told us he hacked it alone. | ||
He was not in cahoots with anybody, but also we can't unlock his phone. | ||
unidentified
|
News update, they did get in. | |
Oh, they did? | ||
Yeah, so they got in late yesterday and it was reported on Drudge, but there was no reporting as to, yeah. | ||
No information? | ||
They don't have anything inside the phone yet. | ||
Oh, yeah, I'm sure. | ||
I'm sure. | ||
This political radical, he never got on social media, he never posted anything. | ||
unidentified
|
Absurd. | |
Completely absurd. | ||
And, I can't remember if it was yesterday or on, it must have been on Saturday when we were doing the live coverage, the emergency broadcast. | ||
It was like, as soon as his name came out, you knew, it was like, okay, so he's been scrubbed from the internet. | ||
So they withheld his name until they got everything off the internet and now they're releasing it. | ||
Usually, the name gets released, and then people find a bunch of interesting stuff. | ||
Not this time. | ||
Alright, welcome back, folks. | ||
This is the American Journal, Infowars.com band. | ||
We'll open up the phone lines in the next hour for your calls. | ||
We're joined by Chris Dontee Harris, who is there on the ground in Minneapolis at the RNC. | ||
We'll continue to talk about the RNC. | ||
We'll talk about J.D. | ||
Vance and who he is. | ||
We'll cover that from a variety of different angles. | ||
Crew is saying they were surprised at my take from about J.D. | ||
Vance. | ||
You know, we'll get into it. | ||
We'll get into J.D. | ||
Vance and who exactly he is. | ||
I don't think that he is a deep state plant, to be honest with you. | ||
I just don't. | ||
I could be wrong. | ||
And I'll look at evidence from both sides and present it to you and you can decide for yourself. | ||
Because there are some suspicious things about him, including where he got his initial, you know, money outlay from. | ||
His rise has certainly been astronomical. | ||
Rocket-like in trajectory. | ||
As in three years, he went from nothing, as far as I know, to being a senator and now being a vice president. | ||
unidentified
|
So that's a little bit suspicious. | |
But again, I'll save that. | ||
I'll get to that later because I want to continue with the coverage of the assassination attempt and the various finger pointing that's going on. | ||
And that actually is what's going on here. | ||
Secret Service blames local police, says they were tasked with securing property surrounding Trump's Pennsylvania rally. | ||
It's just the type of thing that you shouldn't ever should never be said. | ||
It's just one of those, it's just one of those things. | ||
They, they are responsible for the security of Trump. | ||
Now, if they choose to delegate that responsibility to the local police, that doesn't become the local police's responsibility. | ||
It's still the secret service's responsibility. | ||
They just have, Delegated operations to local forces, but they still have oversight. | ||
They are still the ones. | ||
Wait, Secret Service denies blaming local police for Trump rally shooting. | ||
unidentified
|
What the hell? | |
Okay, I'm sorry. | ||
We have two different headlines to say exactly the opposite things here. | ||
From the New York Post, Secret Service blames local police. | ||
From USA Today, Secret Service denies blaming local police. | ||
Oh, great. | ||
I thought the confusion was supposed to stop once the bullets rang out. | ||
I get it was chaotic and convoluted before then, but after then, why are things still so topsy-turvy? | ||
So they're denying that they blamed that. | ||
Okay. | ||
All right. | ||
Great. | ||
Then why did they report that they were blamed? | ||
Well, because the building where the sniper shot from was not in the venue You know grounds exactly. | ||
It was just on the edge just outside. | ||
And apparently that was. | ||
under the local police officers purview. | ||
unidentified
|
Incredible. | |
Just absolutely incredible. | ||
unidentified
|
people. | |
Sean Davis at Sean M Dab on X. | ||
Says this is treason. | ||
They deliberately starved Trump's security detail of manpower and resources. | ||
Their plan deliberately did not place spotters on the roof. | ||
And when local law enforcement radioed the command post with details of a suspicious person using a rangefinder to determine precise distance to Trump, they kept Trump on the stage and didn't do a thing until after Trump was shot and an innocent man was murdered. | ||
When it was all done, Biden's DHS secretary said he has 100% confidence in the entire operation. | ||
Which that is a wild thing to say. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay, so... Okay. | |
So they're trying to have their cake and eat it too. | ||
They're like, blaming local police, but not in so many words. | ||
shooting kimberly cheetle uh in her first public remark since the attempted assassination called the security laughs unacceptable and quote appeared to shift blame to local police okay so they're trying to have their cake and eat it too they're like blaming local police but not in so many words so they're like oh we're not blaming local police but it seems as though some of the local elements of law enforcement may have dropped the ball on this one | ||
And It is pathetic. | ||
All of this is just so utterly pathetic. | ||
A security operations plan had placed each So apparently they were inside the building that the sniper was crawling around on top of. | ||
They were inside looking out the windows. | ||
While on top of them was the guy who was going to shoot the president. | ||
So apparently they were inside the building that the sniper was crawling around on top of. | ||
They were inside looking out the windows. | ||
While on top of them was the guy who was going to shoot the president. | ||
Incredible. | ||
This is also from a New York Post. | ||
Yeah, call me crazy. | ||
But is the... I mean... This isn't real, is it? | ||
Just think about it for... Let's think about this for one solid second, shall we? | ||
roof and open fire yeah call me crazy but is the i mean this isn't real is it i just think just think about it for think about this for one solid second shall we let's pretend you are a local police officer | ||
you're the local police captain and you hear that president trump is doing a rally at the fairgrounds - Yeah. | ||
And you're tasked with covering the surrounding buildings. | ||
You're provided three sniper teams, and there's a giant warehouse building. | ||
Where do you put the snipers? | ||
Do you put them on the ground floor looking out the windows, or do you put them on the gigantic roof of the huge building? | ||
Who chooses to put them on the ground floor? | ||
What could they even do on the ground floor? | ||
Why would you choose to put them inside the building on the ground floor looking out of windows and leaving the roof totally unmanned? | ||
Who makes that decision? | ||
How did that get determined to be the best place to place snipers? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, we did have snipers on the ground. | |
They were actually in the sewer. | ||
We had the snipers, they were undercover, under manholes, in the sewer. | ||
So, you know, just in case. | ||
This makes no sense. | ||
Something doesn't make sense. | ||
It's up to us to ask why. | ||
Why were these decisions made? | ||
The building, the ARG International Factory in Butler, Pennsylvania, was being used by local police as a watch post for snipers to scan for threats as the former president spoke on stage only 130 yards away. | ||
Cops were inside but not on the roof during the shooting. | ||
Hey, maybe, maybe there's a reason. | ||
But for me, if I'm trying to guard an outdoor event with a prominent VIP speaker that could be under threat of violence, I'm going to be outside. | ||
I'm not going to be inside a different building 130 yards away. | ||
But that's just me. | ||
Hey, I'm no expert. | ||
Madness. | ||
Yeah, you spotted 26 minutes before law enforcement sources said it was not clear as Monday night whether any local officers who were tasked with securing perimeter outside Butler County Farm Ground showgrounds were able to warn Secret Service agents about the gunman. | ||
Seems like another. | ||
Outrageous oversight, but again, hey, what do I know? | ||
If it was up to me, I think the local police that were charged with protecting the perimeter would have some sort of radio communications with Secret Service, but maybe that's not how it works. | ||
I don't know. | ||
know. | ||
NPR reports, FBI focuses on alleged gunman's cell phone in Trump assassination attempts. | ||
Over the past 48 hours, federal agents have been racing to try to understand what led the 20-year-old alleged gunman to try to assassinate the former president. | ||
Well, NPR, if you were taking your typical tack, if you were not feeling maybe a little bit guilty about what part you may have played in the radicalization of this one would-be assassin, it probably would have said something like, federal agents have been racing to try to understand it probably would have said something like, federal agents have been racing to try to understand what led the 20-year-old alleged gunman to try to assassinate this existential threat to democracy, Hitler | ||
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
Oh, maybe that, oh, maybe that's what, oh, maybe we answered our own question here. | ||
Maybe what led the 20-something-year-old gunman to try to assassinate the former president is the fact that outlets like you, NPR, Continually demonize him as an existential threat to all good things in the world. | ||
And you insinuate continuously that should Trump be allowed to gain power, that it would be a genocide. | ||
But the FBI is really, they're racing to figure it out. | ||
They're really, they're really struggling. | ||
Biden rejects responsibility. | ||
Anybody who says I have overheated rhetoric is a MAGA extremist domestic terrorist and must be eradicated from our society. | ||
Overheated rhetoric, not me. | ||
Are they going to succeed to prevent him from running? | ||
Yeah, I think they'll, I mean, I think they're going to demonize him and dot him and dot him and dot him and dot him. | ||
And then I, I think they'll blow his airplane up. | ||
I really, at a gut level, believe they're going to kill Trump. | ||
unidentified
|
Who's this? | |
Trump? | ||
I mean, I believe the deep state establishment will murder him. | ||
I mean, I believe he's going to steadfast go through all this. | ||
He'll be, he'll be 30 points ahead in the primaries. | ||
Nothing's going to stop him. | ||
And then they just, you know, he dies of a heart attack or they poison him or they blow his airplane up. | ||
unidentified
|
And what else do you suggest? | |
Well, it doesn't happen overnight. | ||
It's not a miraculous... What did you say? | ||
Murder. | ||
She's kidding. | ||
If you want to really see something that's said, take a look at what happened. | ||
Most importantly, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, Trump is a threat to this nation. | ||
unidentified
|
The higher-ups and some of the smarter ones are not stupid. | |
They're like, if we kill him, it'll cause way bigger problems down the road. | ||
Don't do it. | ||
But before they let him get in charge and prosecute him, which Trump said he will, he goes, I'm getting in, I'll be destroyed, and you'll be destroyed with me, or they'll be destroyed. | ||
It's a death battle. | ||
Donald Trump is a convicted criminal. | ||
He was convicted by a jury of his peers of 34 felonies for paying hush money to a porn star. | ||
And hiding from voters in 2016. | ||
Mr. Trump raped her. | ||
Raped her. | ||
But guess what? | ||
Donald Trump has gotten a free pass. | ||
He hadn't done a damn thing until a couple days ago. | ||
He'd been riding around in his golf course, golf cart, in his course, filling out a scorecard before he picks up his club. | ||
Rambling about. | ||
Think of what he's been talking about. | ||
Hannibal Lecter. | ||
He says he's a nice guy. | ||
Trump would rather be electrocuted than eaten by a shark. | ||
Now to have them put him in jail so he can't vote for him or whatever, it's just not going to fly. | ||
It's not going to happen. | ||
And so, but at the same time, you saw what Comey and others said on TV. | ||
Well, whatever we do, we got to stop him. | ||
He can't be allowed in because he'll put us in prison. | ||
He said repeatedly, Biden says we will not allow Trump to be president again. | ||
And he says, we'll use whatever we have to with law enforcement and the constitution to make sure he's not president. | ||
I said if we were in high school, I'd take you behind the gym and beat the hell out of him. | ||
unidentified
|
When was the last time an actor assassinated a president? | |
They're still gonna have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump, and that's a fact. | ||
unidentified
|
Look as his character is stabbed to death. | |
Where is John Wilkes Booth when you need him? | ||
I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House. | ||
A Missouri State Senator is under investigation by the Secret Service after saying she hopes President Trump is assassinated. | ||
I will go and take Trump out tonight. | ||
And if you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. | ||
And you push back on them. | ||
And you tell them they're not welcome. | ||
They're not going to stop before Election Day in November, and they're not going to stop after Election Day. | ||
And that should be, everyone should take note of that on both levels, that this isn't, they're not going to let up, and they should not. | ||
unidentified
|
As a matter of fact, if you think back to the last president that had an assassination attempt taken on him that has gotten this close, you're going to go back a ways. | |
And if you actually look at the presidents that were assassinated, and you look at what they were doing to the government money, you would realize the reason they're getting taken out isn't because some random Joe Schmo downtown doesn't want that president. | ||
It's because the system feels threatened. | ||
It's not some random person that's living out in the country that's like, I'm going to go in there and I'm going to take out Donald Trump. | ||
No, this is a systematic approach, right? | ||
Their first approach was, hey, we're going to make sure that Joe Biden gets elected and we're going to make sure he gets the votes. | ||
He got the votes. | ||
Boom. | ||
This time around, they were going to do the same thing. | ||
They were going to put Joe out there. | ||
He was going to get a landslide of votes. | ||
Joe was going to win again. | ||
But here's the thing. | ||
They decided, instead of trying to do anything risky, let's just put our opponent in prison. | ||
Let's do it the legal way. | ||
Let's send him to the judicial system, get him locked up so he can't run for president. | ||
And that failed. | ||
And as a matter of fact, it garnished more support for Donald Trump. | ||
So they were like, oh crap, Joe Biden, you got to get out there and debate. | ||
You got to make sure we can sell how many votes are going to get and people are going to believe you. | ||

Thanks for joining us, Kristan. | ||
Harrison Smith, wonderful time here in Milwaukee. | ||
Loved the chance to talk to you. | ||
And there's a lot to unpack here with the assassination attempt recently on Donald Trump. | ||
And I got to tell you, this is something that we predicted on the Rundown Live almost eight years ago. | ||
There was a video game that was created when Trump was running for president in 2016. | ||
And the whole video game was trying to save Donald Trump from being assassinated. | ||
But the thing is, it gave Donald Trump a very weird look, like his wig would fall off. | ||
It made him look weak consistently. | ||
And you were this bodyguard, and you're always trying to get Donald Trump to be safe. | ||
And essentially, it was really hard. | ||
Donald Trump would be shot, and then you'd have to try again. | ||
Donald Trump would be shot, and you'd have to try again. | ||
And you could download this video game from Steam. | ||
And on the Rundown Live eight years ago, we downloaded it, and we were playing it, and we were showing everyone. | ||
And we're like, this sounds almost like predictive programming. | ||
It is something that we completely believed, and we saw that could happen, and we know that there was something going on greater, and that this could actually occur. | ||
And here we are, fast forward eight years later, and what do we see? | ||
Donald Trump. | ||
Donald Trump having an assassination attempt on him. | ||
And I thought this wasn't possible for a while, Harrison, mostly because I thought digital assassination was way more effective. | ||
You ban Donald Trump from all social media platforms. | ||
You don't have the kickback of a potential, you know, Bonding of Americans rallying behind Donald Trump because of this, you know, event happening. | ||
So this video game stuck to my mind and it was something I wanted to bring up because it's something that a lot of people don't know about. | ||
And it's something that we talk about on the Rundown Live to bring awareness, how people are programmed. | ||
And so you have the shooter who just lollygags on in there, climbs up a building like nothing's happened, like nobody sees them or nobody cares. | ||
And he gets reported to the police. | ||
And the police don't do anything, and it's almost as if it was allowed to happen. | ||
I've covered so many of these rallies where the Secret Service is harassing you to get on the grass, or they're eyeing you down from afar, or they're coming up to you, or they're looking at you. | ||
How the hell do they miss the shooter on the rooftop? | ||
I believe that there's a great opportunity that they want to blame this on negligence. | ||
And I even dare that it's possible that it is intentional. | ||
I don't know for sure, but how do you have such a big mess up? | ||
So that is something that has really been on my heart and something I've been thinking about in my mind is how they've been programming the people. | ||
Oh, he's Adolf Hitler. | ||
We all know that in the 1970s, people are jumping off the Empire State Building, committing suicide. | ||
And when the media promoted it, Uh, you know, some mentally ill person would go, Oh yeah, that's the way to go. | ||
Let's go climb up the, you know, get up the stairs, jump off the empire state building and commit suicide. | ||
Cause they wanted to go out famously either they're depressed or they had issues. | ||
And when you, when you go out there and you call the president of the United States, Hitler, you go out there and you, uh, suggest that he needs a hit needs to die. | ||
There's some mentally ill person out there that wants to be glorified and remembered throughout history. | ||
And this is his moment to shine. | ||
And he's going to take the opportunity. | ||
It was just a matter of time. | ||
And I just am curious on how there could have been such a big mess up by the Secret Service or the FBI with all the metadata collection, the NSA, all the fusion centers out there, the citizen threat scores and everything else. | ||
They had to have some idea that this kid was going to be on the roof potentially, I believe, at least when they look back at it for sure. | ||
How do they miss it? | ||
It just blows my mind. | ||
It's crazy. | ||
And it all ties together. | ||
It's all programming. | ||
And they found somebody that would be willing to do it. | ||
The agencies didn't have to do anything if there was a deep state plan. | ||
And all they had to do is allow it to happen and allow them to take a shot. | ||
And for some reason or another, he missed. | ||
And here we are today at the RNC in Milwaukee. | ||
Yeah and I want to get to what the the RNC is like and of course it's I don't know so I got a little bit of uh whiplash from like Trump surviving this assassination attempt it's like oh my god this is this is amazing I can't believe it and then I walked to the RNC and I'm just like oh right oh right uh the Republican party is absolutely terrible absolutely abysmal and hey don't get me wrong I'm glad we're not having a funeral and instead having the national convention so it could be worse but | ||
Only a little. | ||
Only by varying degrees. | ||
But let's talk a little bit more about the assassination as we were just talking about it. | ||
They apparently saw the guy before the event even started and took a picture of him and radioed it in. | ||
This guy's acting suspicious 30 minutes before the shots rang out. | ||
A local police officer took pictures of him, radioed in, suspicious person on the roof. | ||
He was on the roof 30 minutes before, two minutes before shots are fired. | ||
He's seen crawling on the roof and crowds of people are yelling and pointing and trying to get the police to do something about it. | ||
Nothing is done. | ||
My first suspicion yesterday when I heard that it was claimed that this building was a was actually a nest for local police snipers and it's like well that doesn't make any sense and I thought well but that's kind of good like plausible deniability or plausible a plausible excuse as to why Secret Service wouldn't have fired because even though the guy was in plainclothes it's kind of hard to see from far away and if this if the Secret Service is sitting there and they see somebody crawling around the roof but they go oh well that's the local | ||
law enforcement sniper rifle like that's that's where they're going to be with their sniper rifles so it gives plausible excuse as to why the secret service didn't fire on him before the shots rang out because they assumed that the law enforcement you know that was going to be a law enforcement sniper up there uh but none of this makes any sense kriston that's They had snipers apparently in the building, but they were on the ground floor inside and not on the roof. | ||
Who puts snipers, three snipers, on the ground floor of a building behind windows? | ||
I mean, it just makes no sense. | ||
You're handicapping your defense in an egregious way. | ||
So what is your takeaway from this? | ||
Do you think this was orchestrated? | ||
Do you think this was the deep state? | ||
Or do you think this was what they're saying it was? | ||
A lone gunman on his own and he just slipped through the cracks? | ||
I mean, how did he know that was the location to go to? | ||
It would have been improv, right? | ||
He would have had to say, oh, there's no one up there. | ||
And how did he know that there was nobody on the roof laying down? | ||
You can't see really clearly. | ||
Right. | ||
Maybe he was watching. | ||
But, you know, I think it was, you know, negligence. | ||
Not only that, I almost believe that there's potential that it was allowed to happen. | ||
What kind of breakdown of communication is there if the Secret Service doesn't know where the law enforcement is, and they just assume that's law enforcement on the roof? | ||
If you walk around any of these events, and if you have in 2015 in Cleveland, in 2020, or 2020 in the DNC or RNC, if you look up, most people don't look up, you will see people on just about every building with guns. | ||
Right. | ||
And they're there looking at you, and they're looking down at you. | ||
They're constantly monitoring you. | ||
And if you have a building that doesn't have anyone on there, and there's no communication on it, hey, whose person is that? | ||
Oh, we don't know. | ||
I mean, secondly, this kid, he didn't look like a law enforcement officer. | ||
How many cops do you know that have long, girly hair like that? | ||
Like, what kind of Secret Service person goes, yep, that's a cop? | ||
Like, come on! | ||
Like, what kind of instincts? | ||
You would fire that guy. | ||
Right? | ||
There's no way with binoculars and everything else that they did not know that was not a cop, you know? | ||
And what kind of Secret Service guy have you ever seen that has long girly hair looking all unprofessional just hanging there in the side with glasses and borderline plain clothes, you know? | ||
Yeah, but I mean, it just, it doesn't make sense why they would say this. | ||
I mean, why would they say, actually, that rooftop was a LEO sniper. | ||
And it's like, but there's no one up there. | ||
It just, it doesn't make any sense why they're saying these things or making these claims. | ||
Apparently, according to the people that own the land quote nobody contacted me nobody nobody called me nobody stopped here said valerie finnell whose home backs up to the fairground and is just beyond a strand of trees from the actual fairground there i was kind of thinking that as close as my house is i honestly thought this might be a command station at some point and it wasn't just finnell who wasn't contacted by law enforcement's She said her entire neighborhood was bafflingly left alone despite their proximity to the rally grounds. | ||
So I mean, it seems like this was just a disaster waiting to happen. | ||
They clearly, either deliberately or just because of incompetence, failed to secure the area around this. | ||
Just how would the shooter have known, though? | ||
I still don't get it. | ||
Out of all the locations, how did he not know that there wasn't somebody out there waiting for him on top or someplace else? | ||
It just blows my mind that this guy was that lucky, like climbing up the side of the building. | ||
No one does anything. | ||
They kind of lay back. | ||
I believe that, you know, wholeheartedly, at the very least, That, you know, it could have been orchestrated. | ||
I mean, there's a lot of things. | ||
We got to look at every angle, ask a lot of questions. | ||
We don't have all the answers, Harrison. | ||
But what we do know is that this guy beat the odds, right? | ||
He went up a building. | ||
He went on, crawled on top. | ||
He was able to get up there. | ||
And, you know, nobody noticed him or actually nobody responded to him being up there. | ||
People noticed him. | ||
They reported him to police. | ||
But like, he could have been shot on the way up there. | ||
The Secret Service could have crawled up there and asked him who he is and what he's doing. | ||
And you would have thought that there would have been a lot more engagement. | ||
Because if I look at a secret, like I said, if I step on the sidewalk and they want me on the grass, they let me know. | ||
You know, were they busy pushing people on the grass at this event? | ||
You know, what was going on with law enforcement and the FBI and the CIA and everyone else that was probably in attendance at some level, either remotely or there. | ||
They had to have known. | ||
Where's the drone surveillance? | ||
Was there not any drones out there that they could have gotten some video of this shooter? | ||
Like amongst other things, there's just such a big breakdown. | ||
I can't believe that the agencies, you know, are so incompetent that they made this mistake. | ||
And that's what they want you to believe. | ||
You know, a shooter's nest. | ||
The police should have had that covered. | ||
Potentially they're passing the buck. | ||
And the real question we should ask is, how the hell did the shooter know that that was the location to be? | ||
He had the great line of sight. | ||
And secondly, how did he know he could get up there? | ||
Obviously he got up there quick. | ||
What kind of training did this kid had? | ||
I mean, there's black rock videos and yeah, the big deal. | ||
He was in a black rock commercial amongst other things that People are claiming out there, but in all reality. | ||
This whole thing, if there's that kind of breakdown, I'd question whether or not the Secret Service is actually having the best interest of keeping the former President Donald Trump safe, because how are you going to mess this up? | ||
This is a big mess up, and nobody's saying, hey, the Secret Service messed up big time, because they did. | ||
At no time have I been at an event where the Secret Service hasn't eyeballed every reporter down there. | ||
Why aren't they eyeballing some guy with a gun crawling up to a roof, getting ready to take a pot shot at Donald Trump? | ||
Unless You know, they literally allowed it to happen. | ||
Like, somebody out there, you know, there might be a, you know, Benedict Arnold with the Secret Service sitting up there just allowing things to happen with all the metadata collection that they have. | ||
I thought it's there to keep us safe, though, you know, NSA, all the spying and all the social media. | ||
And what happened to this kid's social media? | ||
It's literally non-existent. | ||
Yeah, well, apparently they've broken into his phone, but I haven't discovered anything yet. | ||
A shocking lack of information on his phone, apparently. | ||
I mean, we're never going to get the full story, but you know, maybe the biggest disappointment for me is the fact that following this incredibly close-run thing, this near-run assassination attempt, They go to the RNC and it's like the whole thing is it felt to me like they are in 2020 and they're running for re-election and the economy is booming. | ||
There was no sense of like seriousness at the RNC. | ||
There's no sense of like we are under attack and we have to fight back with everything we've got. | ||
It was all just like the price of dry goods is down 30% or was when Trump was president and it will be again. | ||
It was like We're under attack. | ||
We're at war. | ||
This is the fate of our country in the balance. | ||
World War III on the offing. | ||
I mean, what has to happen for the Republicans to seem to actually take this seriously? | ||
And even when they were asked about security, when Secret Service and the Milwaukee Police were both asked about beefing up security following this assassination attempt, Everybody who was anybody was just like, yeah, we're it's fine. | ||
We're not doing anything extra. | ||
No, nothing, nothing added, nothing extra. | ||
I mean, they don't seem to be taking any of this seriously. | ||
And there were protests yesterday at the RNC. | ||
I don't know if you were there on the ground and actually saw this take place. | ||
We have a couple stories here. | ||
Two different headlines. | ||
Maybe you can help us figure out which one's the accurate one, Kriston T. Harris. | ||
Thousands of RNC protesters denounced Trump Republican agenda in Milwaukee or hundreds with coalition to march on RNC protests in Milwaukee. | ||
So there was a protest there. | ||
Was it thousands or hundreds, Kriston? | ||
Well, I would definitely say it was mid to upper 100s, but there definitely wasn't 1,000 individuals. | ||
I used to be a concert promoter. | ||
I've thrown thousands of concerts. | ||
I know what thousands of people look like. | ||
I'm telling you, there's probably maybe six or 700. | ||
I think there's hundreds of people. | ||
They obviously want to try to, I think the biggest impact of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump isn't so much on the conservatives who are trying to rally behind Trump. | ||
The quietness of the Democrats and the protesters. | ||
Literally, they said that there's no additional protests scheduled for the entirety of the remainder of the RNC, which as a protest reporter who's covered hundreds of protests, that's unheard of. | ||
Every day. | ||
I was at the 2020 DNC. | ||
Every day there was some type of protest during COVID. | ||
How is it that the Democrats aren't scheduling any protests? | ||
Well, it's basically, I believe, an offshoot of what happened with Donald Trump. | ||
They're trying to kind of limit the rhetoric because of the violence, and they know that it impacts the election. | ||
But I do believe a lot of the people, the RNC goers I've communicated and talked to, they are unified now under Trump. | ||
Now, as far as the establishment, though, I think the establishment, the mainstream media, the leftists, they're really struggling to deal with the fact that they have to climb uphill now. | ||
Literally, I think Americans are unified and they're coming together to understand that there's something going on and that these extremist points of view, these far leftist points of view, and hate and anger is starting to be exposed and they're worried that it's really going to be the downfall of the Democrat Party. | ||
And to be honest, with the way they've been going after children in a predatory manner, I mean, I'm okay with it. | ||
I think that the Democrat Party is limited in its time once Americans start waking up, once liberty starts rising again, and we start to take this country back. | ||
And I think this is the opportunity and the momentum that Donald Trump needed to get re-elected. | ||
Also, a historical event that took place in Milwaukee, I believe it was Roosevelt, who was shot in a speech, right? | ||
And the bullet was an inch from his heart and he continued his speech. | ||
And that was really what propelled him to get elected. | ||
In the same way, I saw Donald Trump, he looked like he wanted to finish his speech after he got shot. | ||
I'm not going to lie, it looked like he wanted to stay on stage. | ||
And like, how do you, how do you knock that kind of chivalry, especially after the left has been propagandizing false information, claiming that he's a Nazi and he's Hitler while they're funding real Nazis in Ukraine under the Azov battalion? | ||
The hypocrisy abounds but and you know the thing about Like you see these big leftist protests and the way they're portrayed is sort of just a naturally occurring Outpouring of rage all of these, you know, good-hearted people just coming together and then they can't take it anymore They take to the streets and and protest in March But then you see that if it's inconvenient for them to do that, they don't do it it | ||
Represents that these protests that break out from leftists are always highly coordinated all they have to be told to do this and when they're not told to do it they don't do it so you would expect with the amount of anger that we see from the left is these days the amount of vitriol and and hatred and you know panic that we see in the left that they would just be out there protesting regardless but they haven't been told to their plane tickets haven't been paid for so the protests don't show up the fact that there was one | ||
minuscule protests with a couple hundred people and nothing else planned for the rest of the RNC, to me represents the fact that these protests are all coordinated and astroturfed. | ||
And if they aren't, then they don't show up. | ||
Nobody shows up. | ||
Nothing happens because they haven't been told to. | ||
So, I mean, the entire leftist street mob activity is all orchestrated and coordinated and funded. | ||
And you can see the evidence of that because if the funding's not there, then nobody shows up. | ||
Talk a little on that, if you would. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Absolutely. | ||
I noticed that there's a lot less people flying in from around the country to come to this event to protest. | ||
That's one thing that I can tell you. | ||
I arrived at the event at about 9.30, a little bit early, but started at 10 o'clock. | ||
And there are people that have flown in, but a lot of them are potential protest leaders. | ||
A lot of them were against the war in Gaza, what's going on. | ||
And I do believe, like we talked about in one of the articles I wrote about in 2015 was called Crowds on Demand. | ||
It was a company that you literally can hire crowds of people to come and support your cause, whether it's protests, whether it's you as a politician. | ||
And what you would do is then give the overall portrayal that you have support. | ||
Whatever your cause is, crowds on demand, you guys can look that up. | ||
So essentially, you can just hire a bunch of crowds. | ||
And if you got the funding to support them, I just don't think the funding and the support for Joe Biden is there. | ||
People realize the guy's old. | ||
He can barely count the fingers on his hand. | ||
He can't complete sentences. | ||
He's stumbling, walking around. | ||
And it's a very sad look for Americans. | ||
And I think overall, whether you're on the right or the left, people are not supporting Joe Biden. | ||
They're calling for him to be replaced. | ||
A lot of people, Robert F. Kennedy, I was just at Freedom Fest. | ||
I think he's trying to take over some of those votes and get some of that support. | ||
I wouldn't doubt that Donald Trump wins by landslide. | ||
But this protest, like you mentioned, there's always a lot of money that comes in. | ||
And when people say, oh, they're funding these protesters and they're paying them to be there, that's George Soros money. | ||
It isn't like he's directly paying these individuals and putting money in their pocket. | ||
Most of the time it's in the form of buses, like you mentioned, hotels, shuttling, and things of that nature that really helps support and increase these protests. | ||
So for some reason, that's not there this time around. | ||
And what we're seeing is more of an authentic, genuine protest, where she is only bringing out, you know, a few hundred protesters. | ||
The reason why they want to frame it as a few thousand is they're grasping for any kind of momentum, any kind at all, in order to go ahead and try to push back at this narrative Donald Trump is the president of the election, that he will be the one to overall win this election. | ||
And I guess we're going to go ahead and see what happens here in November. | ||
And I wouldn't doubt that Donald Trump wins by a landslide. | ||
If the left was smart, then maybe they'd start putting some investment and support behind RFK to make them a spoiler for But I think Donald Trump, what you're seeing right now, him pumping his fist, saying fight, has really rallied a lot of Americans. | ||
And if you didn't like Donald Trump right now, and you have anything negative to say, you can't really say it now, can you? | ||
Because of him being targeted by the left extremists. | ||
100% brilliant breakdown. | ||
Kriston T. Harris at kristontharris on X. TheRundownLive.com on Rumble at The Rundown Live. | ||
Thank you for your update. | ||
Stay safe and we will check in again with you later on as the RNC continues. | ||
Kriston T. Harris, everyone. | ||
unidentified
|
Welcome back, folks. | |
This is the American Journal. | ||
I'm going to go ahead and open up the phone lines for your calls. | ||
Your calls throughout the remainder of your Of our show here today, we're talking about J.D. | ||
Vance. | ||
I'm sure people are going to want to call in with their takes on him. | ||
So we'll be taking your calls on J.D. | ||
Vance, the RNC, and the assassination attempt. | ||
We have more news to deliver on all of these fronts still ahead. | ||
Lots of videos to go to as well, and we'll go to one of those now. | ||
But we'll go to clip eight here in just a second. | ||
I know, I imagine a lot of our listeners probably disagree with me about JD Vance because apparently all my followers on Twitter do as well, which I wonder if, um, I don't know. | ||
It's, it's like there's no room for, for nuance in these conversations. | ||
That's saying that JD Vance is a good choice and probably the least bad choice. | ||
That was available. | ||
That considering all of the limitations and considerations of the political landscape. | ||
This was a very good choice overall. | ||
And this this apparently is me. | ||
You know, throwing full support behind him, saying that he never did anything wrong and can be trusted. | ||
I'm going to name my firstborn child after him and I don't know anything about the fact that he went to Yale. | ||
Do you know he went to Yale? | ||
But he went to Yale though! | ||
These are the types of things, this is what I don't get. | ||
It's like, okay, so did Stuart Rhodes. | ||
Do you know that? | ||
Going to Yale should not disqualify you. | ||
I don't think going to Israel should disqualify you. | ||
I don't think, you know, not liking Trump eight years ago should disqualify you. | ||
I think what disqualifies you is being Marco Rubio or being Tim Scott. | ||
These things are disqualifiable. | ||
These things make you a non-starter for me. | ||
J.D. | ||
Vance got to start with Peter Thiel, though. | ||
Did you know that? | ||
Did you know he received $15 million from Peter Thiel to run for Congress? | ||
I knew he was wearing eyeliner. | ||
He might wear eyeliner. | ||
And it's just like, yeah, you know what? | ||
I agree. | ||
I agree. | ||
Trump should have chosen one of one of the many anti-Israel Republicans. | ||
He should have picked a white guy with a white wife, who's middle class, he's Catholic, he's gotta be Catholic, he's gotta have lots of kids, and he has to hate Israel, and he has to have never gone to college, and not gotten any money from any billionaires. | ||
And anybody short of that is a deep state plant, and you are now a plant for Saying you like him. | ||
And it's just like, okay. | ||
Great. | ||
It's a wonderful fantasy to have. | ||
But this is the real world. | ||
And there are only so many options available. | ||
And of those, J.D. | ||
Vance has very little to complain about. | ||
Very little. | ||
Very, very, very, very little to complain about from the right-wing perspective. | ||
And he's a good choice politically. | ||
Because believe it or not, you have to get elected to have power. | ||
You have to play the game a little bit in order to get the authority to change things. | ||
So I guess my question is who else? | ||
Who else? | ||
I see people on Twitter saying JD Vance was the worst possible choice. | ||
As if Nikki Haley wasn't in the running. | ||
As if Marco Rubio wasn't in the running. | ||
As if Tim Scott wasn't in the running. | ||
As if any of these people are not significantly worse than J.D. | ||
Vance in every possible regard. | ||
And we'll go over some of J.D. | ||
Vance's positions and some of his policies and where he falls short and where there is some suspicious stuff in his background. | ||
But you understand we are dealing with reality here? | ||
You understand that Don Trump has to pick a vice presidential nominee And it has to be the best pick for the entire nation. | ||
And that your complaints about... Again, it doesn't even make sense. | ||
It doesn't even make sense. | ||
People are like... I don't know how many times the picture of J.D. | ||
Vance praying at the Israel wall has been posted as a response to me being like, yeah, J.D. | ||
Vance is pretty good. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, J.D. | |
Vance is fine. | ||
And people are like, but he went to Israel once! | ||
And it's like, okay, Trump is like the most pro-Israel person ever. | ||
So are you a Trump supporter? | ||
You are. | ||
Because otherwise, why would you care about his vice president pick? | ||
Why would it matter to you who his vice president pick is if your only political decision-making process is, do they support Israel or not? | ||
Because if that's your decision-making process, then you're not on Trump's side in the first place. | ||
It's a Roman fort, by the way. | ||
It's a Roman fort they're praying to. | ||
The reason I would never pray to that wall is because one, I know it's a Roman fort because they found Roman coins underneath it. | ||
Meaning that, you know, Roman coins forged after the fall of the temple. | ||
You know, when that wall was built, it was a Roman landmark. | ||
And while that might not seem to matter to you very much, I want to remind you That Jesus said that the temple would be destroyed and no one stone would be standing on another. | ||
So if you think that that wall is a temple, a wall of the temple, you're kind of calling Jesus a liar. | ||
So I wouldn't do that. | ||
Personally. | ||
But again, it's like, yeah, I don't like how subservient our political class is to Israel. | ||
I want that to change. | ||
But they are, and this is the situation we find ourselves in. | ||
And this is not disqualifying to me. | ||
We can argue about it. | ||
Give us a call. | ||
First, we'll go to clip number eight here. | ||
This is Alex Jones on his take with Trump's decision to choose J.D. | ||
Vance. | ||
Well, I've got some breaking news for you and some inside baseball. | ||
Trump has just picked Senator J.D. | ||
Vance as his VP. | ||
An excellent choice. | ||
I happened to run into J.D. | ||
Vance at the TPUSA Action event that I was speaking at. | ||
He spoke right after I did a few weeks ago in Detroit, Michigan. | ||
And I talked to him and his chief of staff, and they told me they were listeners for a long time. | ||
I know Vance has defended me before against these attacks on free speech. | ||
And I said, hey, I hear you're the guy. | ||
And he goes, yeah, I think I've got it. | ||
And so Trump keeps his cards close to the vest. | ||
I was blown away that Vance actually told me this. | ||
And then I saw Chase Geyser at the green room door with his camera on and almost slapped him. | ||
I love Chase, but this was a private meeting, and there's Geyser. | ||
So we even have that on tape, but I'm not going to put it out. | ||
Just amazing information, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
Because Marco Rubio is super ultra evil. | ||
Very well spoken. | ||
I admire his mind. | ||
He's very smart. | ||
But he's a deep stater, folks. | ||
And Trump was signing his death warrant if he did that. | ||
You know, that goes the same for the governor and all the rest of it. | ||
Carson would have been great, very trustworthy, very smart, very good man. | ||
But this is a good choice. | ||
J.D. | ||
Vance, Vice President for President Trump. | ||
And I was a good boy and did not break the news. | ||
I was blown away when he said, yeah, it looks like I've got it. | ||
I said, I hear you're probably the guy. | ||
He goes, yeah, I think I've got it. | ||
And I was just like, OK, we're having a really good conversation. | ||
And then it ends when Geyser's at the door. | ||
And I'm not putting Geyser down. | ||
I'm only telling that story so Vance sees this and knows what was going on there. | ||
And I love Geyser. | ||
I mean, to him, he's a news guy. | ||
It's like, hey, he's talking to J.D. | ||
Vance. | ||
Yeah, I do need a green room. | ||
We don't do that. | ||
But yeah, so I knew. | ||
Kind of like what Joe Rogan told me six months before he was going to Spotify. | ||
I didn't buy any Spotify stock, even though it exploded afterwards. | ||
I don't do insider trading. | ||
And I couldn't believe Joe told me that. | ||
So I'm in a really blessed position that I get all this intel. | ||
And, uh, wow. | ||
So with all the crazy stuff going on, this is some good news. | ||
This is some exciting news. | ||
So God bless President Trump. | ||
God bless J.D. | ||
Vance, the senator. | ||
And just get behind Trump, folks. | ||
The Deep State has nothing left to lose. | ||
They're gonna try to kill him again. | ||
They have the Secret Service staying down. | ||
I had the guy that did 300 of Trump's events, his advance team head on today. | ||
He talked to Secret Service. | ||
He said, no, they're not letting us have any crew we need. | ||
So that's Biden directly doing that so that Trump is not safe. | ||
This is insane. | ||
That interview is going up at Infowars.com right now. | ||
It was live about an hour ago. | ||
Watch X for that information coming out as well. | ||
God bless and good luck. | ||
Stay with us. | ||
We'll break down J.D. | ||
Vance, the good, the bad, and in between on the other side. | ||
unidentified
|
Stay with us. | |
All right, welcome back, folks. | ||
A lot of callers about J.D. | ||
unidentified
|
Vance. | |
Before we get into this topic, it's important to remind everybody that the vice president doesn't actually matter 99% of the time. | ||
It's important to remember that, God willing, J.D. | ||
Vance You know, Trump gets elected and J.D. | ||
Vance becomes vice president. | ||
He's not going to do anything for four years. | ||
He's just going to stand around. | ||
So it's not actually that big of a deal. | ||
But again, the question is, could he pick up the reins should something happen to Trump? | ||
I think he seems like a very good option. | ||
But we got we got a lot of Conflicting arguments about this from human events, Kenny Cody. | ||
Vance is the best VP choice for Trump. | ||
Back in 2016, J.D. | ||
Vance was writing on the success of his best-selling memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, detailing his rags-to-riches story while growing up in Middletown, Ohio, under his Kentuckian-born family. | ||
The book resonated with many across the country, allowing them to view Southern Appalachian rural Americans through a more positive scope than they had ever seen before. | ||
Overnight, Vance became a media darling, but was quickly criticized by establishment media for awakening a new understanding of Rust Belt culture, Appalachian values, and the struggles of economically disproportionate whites in the United States. | ||
Meanwhile, the country is being taken over in a firestorm of political rhetoric never seen in politics. | ||
As entrepreneur and TV personality, Donald Trump won the presidency on the heels of a campaign on populism, nationalism, and pure Americanism. | ||
From November 2016, Trump changed the political landscape in ways that had never been tapped into, revealing the silent majority of rural voters that helped propel him and his supporters to heights, federal positions, and ideological shifts unlike any other movement in American history. | ||
Fast forward to present year and election year 2024 on the heels of attempted assassination the 45th president and 2024 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump selected now United States Senator from Ohio JD Vance as his vice presidential nominee at the RNC in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. | ||
How the GOP got to the Trump-Vance ticket is no mystery. | ||
On the scope of two back-to-back losses to President Obama at the hands of moderates John McCain and Mitt Romney, the Republican Party had to shift in a new direction. | ||
While hardly anyone could have predicted that the most globally impacting campaign in modern world history would be led by Donald Trump and figures such as Senator Vance, that is precisely what transpired. | ||
Vance began to rightly correct himself about his feelings on Trump as he entered office in 2017. | ||
Like many, Vance had been told by the media, the left, and many pundits that Trump was the next coming of Adolf Hitler, and when it could not have been any farther from the truth, not only did J.D. | ||
Vance come to appreciate Trump, but he quickly identified with the American nationalism that his administration was advocating for. | ||
And that's probably the most common complaint I hear, is that he was a never-Trumper in 2016. | ||
And the obvious response, it's coming from everybody, is like, yeah, so was I, though. | ||
Yeah, but I also didn't like Trump until I liked him. | ||
That's how most people were. | ||
It's how almost everybody was, actually. | ||
It's almost impossible for it to be otherwise, because for a while, the only media there was out there about Trump was negative. | ||
And wasn't until, you know, the campaign really got into motion. | ||
And look, if you, if it took you till 2017, you were late to the party, you should have realized before then. | ||
If you're anti-Trump in 2016, I don't necessarily blame you. | ||
A lot of people were. | ||
I again, don't see this as disqualifying. | ||
Perhaps it says a little bit about his awareness. | ||
Maybe it says a little bit about. | ||
His understanding of the fundamentals of these policy topics. | ||
It's not disqualifying. | ||
Okay. | ||
unidentified
|
It's fine. | |
It's fine. | ||
All right. | ||
It's fine. | ||
Calm down. | ||
Everyone just calm down. | ||
Marianne Williamson. | ||
So let's just go through some posts about old JD Vance. | ||
Talk about some of his views. | ||
See if we can't get a handle on who's for this guy and who's against him. | ||
First, Marianne Williamson. | ||
The former presidential candidate for the, I don't know, cat lady party. | ||
J.D. | ||
Vance is Trump's choice for VP. | ||
His views on women are particularly interesting. | ||
Quote, we are effectively, this is J.D. | ||
Vance saying, quote, we are effectively run in this country by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable with their own lives and the choices that they've made. | ||
So they want to make the rest of the country miserable too. | ||
unidentified
|
Lovely. | |
Might not be lovely, but it is true though. | ||
But it is true. | ||
And frankly, Marianne, it's not a great look when that's what you get offended by. | ||
Makes you look like a cat lady. | ||
JD Vance on DEI. | ||
JD Vance says, DEI is racism, plain and simple. | ||
It's time to outlaw it nationwide, starting with the federal government. | ||
Okay, I like that too. | ||
But uh oh, we've hit a bump in the road. | ||
It looks like we're in for more fake pandemics and mRNA bioweapons. | ||
unidentified
|
J.D. | |
Vance's company, Noria Capital, is an investor in Amplify Bio. | ||
Amplify Bio is in partnership with RNAV8 Bio in creating more mRNA vaccines. | ||
So his company, Noria Capital, Trying to figure out what's being said here. | ||
Amplify Bio and RN8V Bio announced a strategic partnership to support mRNA therapeutic developers from sequence design to GMP manufacture. | ||
JD Vance, co-founder of Noraya Capital, invests in Amplify Bio. | ||
They announced a strategic partnership to support mRNA therapeutic developers. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
Great. | ||
That's easy. | ||
He's a venture capitalist. | ||
Now this is where it gets really confusing. | ||
Because you've got Lindsey Graham posting this. | ||
Senator J.D. | ||
Vance is one of the most compelling stories in American politics, overcoming so much adversity in life. | ||
He understands the struggle of working class Americans and has walked in their shoes and become one of their best champions. | ||
Bright, articulate, and a Marine veteran with a smile that just doesn't quit. | ||
So, you know, Lindsey Graham is praising him. | ||
He loves him. | ||
They're best friends, right? | ||
So I get sent this, people being like, oh, you like, oh, you are, you want to surrender your firstborn child to Vance? | ||
Well, you know, Lindsey Graham supports him. | ||
Is he somebody you want on your team? | ||
It's like, okay, but then there's this. | ||
Tucker Carlson, Lindsey Graham is a liar. | ||
No one lobbied harder against J.D. | ||
Vance than he did, and in the sleaziest, most vicious way possible. | ||
He was doing it this morning, which is why everyone hates Washington, because people like Lindsey Graham are happy to lie right to your face, smiling as they plot your destruction. | ||
It's disgusting! | ||
Okay, so Lindsey Graham doesn't actually like J.D. | ||
Vance, and he's being a slimy politician there. | ||
Interesting. | ||
Roger Stone backs him up on this. | ||
Backs Tucker up on this. | ||
I can confirm 100% of what Tucker Carlson said here. | ||
Lindsey Graham first lobbied furiously for Tim Scott, then lobbied furiously for Marco Rubio, then tried to destroy J.D. | ||
Vance's candidacy for vice president. | ||
Hashtag right now. | ||
Okay. | ||
So, so far the cat ladies and the DEI pushers and Lindsey Graham don't like J.D. | ||
Vance. | ||
Which means I like him so far. | ||
King Pilled at Real King Pilled on X. The man who was just granted the mandate of heaven is in the clearest possible fashion, that's Donald Trump, selected as his heir apparent, a white boy who exists at the intersection of Appalachia, Yale, Silicon Valley, and the USMC. | ||
A recent Catholic convert who has staffed his team with based young white men, who is on the record with the strongest statements from any election official regarding the purging the new administrative state and staffing it with Trump loyalists. | ||
The only people complaining about this are liberals and the guys who LARP is based right-wingers. | ||
Today is a day for exaltation. | ||
The energy is back and better than ever. | ||
And he posts two images here talking about Vance. | ||
He said he thought this was pessimistic. | ||
I tend to think we should seize the institutions of the left, he said, and turn them against the left. | ||
We need to de-bathification program, de-wokification program. | ||
I think Trump's going to run in 2024. | ||
I think Trump I think that what Trump should do is, if I can give him one piece of advice, fire every single mid-level bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, and replace them with our people. | ||
And when the courts stop you, he went on, stand before the country and say, he quoted Andrew Jackson giving a challenge to the entire constitutional order, the Chief Justice has made his ruling, now let him enforce it. | ||
He says we are in a late Republican period, invoking the common new right view of America as Rome awaiting its Caesar. | ||
If we were to push back against it, we're going to have to get pretty wild and pretty far out there and go in directions that a lot of conservatives right now are uncomfortable with. | ||
Oh, well, he sounds like a deep state plant, doesn't he? | ||
No, he doesn't. | ||
Of Vice's senior staff, the vast majority are men under 40, almost all are six feet tall, with the notable exception of his chief of staff, Jacob Reese, who walks around like Gulliver amongst the Big guys. | ||
And a significant percentage of them ingest some form of nicotine on a regular basis. | ||
Bastis. | ||
On a regular bastis. | ||
My Senate office probably has the highest ratio of smokers of anybody in the U.S. | ||
in advance who does not himself smoke, told Business Insider in January. | ||
So far, all of the information, barring his company investing in a pharmaceutical company, so far it's all good. | ||
But uh-oh, you would think the InfoWars crowd would be looking more deeply at the Yale Law School, much left to the other checkoffs. | ||
And again, going to Yale does not disqualify you from being a patriot. | ||
What is wrong with you people? | ||
We'll go through some of the negatives on the other side. | ||
Not to hear phone calls. | ||
Stay tuned. | ||
I'm calling you on J.D. Vance. | ||
I want to hear what you have to say. | ||
unidentified
|
All right, guys, welcome back. | |
Just finishing up our whiplash coverage of J.D. Vance. | ||
Vance, again, is going to be vice president. | ||
He is the vice president candidate alongside Donald Trump. | ||
Nathan Green at 17 in Green, 76, says the InfoWars crowd should be looking more deeply at this Yale Law School, much less the other checkoffs. | ||
Again, going to Yale is not disqualifying. | ||
Stuart Rhodes. | ||
Went to Yale. | ||
A lot of good people. | ||
This is the thing. | ||
It's like, I get that a lot of these organizations are corrupt, but it's not even the same as it was. | ||
I mean, back in 2008, when you had John Kerry and George Bush, both as members of Skull and Bones, everybody was becoming aware of this for the first time and learning about the way that these, like, old clubs, you know, handpicked and trained people to become Politicians and presidents and spymasters. | ||
Have you looked at it recently, though? | ||
The majority of the recent Skull and Bones class are, like, transsexual Puerto Ricans. | ||
I'm not even kidding. | ||
Like, literally. | ||
All of the... It's not like the old white guy country club anymore. | ||
It's nothing, basically. | ||
It's the same as any other Frat just with more gays and trans and people of color and women. | ||
Women in and out too. | ||
Seriously, Skull and Bones is not, it's succumbed to its own poison. | ||
Skull and Bones and equity and inclusion. | ||
And this story is about how Skull and Bones was systematically taken over by transgender activists who now run it. | ||
Okay. | ||
It's not the Bushes and the Careys, not the Rockefellers and the Vanderbilts in Skull and Bones anymore. | ||
It's the guys wearing eyeliner, exactly. | ||
Okay, so, uh, J.D. | ||
Vance is a Manchurian candidate, according to Mr. Green. | ||
Here's the proof. | ||
He was in the military. | ||
That's disqualifying, right? | ||
You want a soldier? | ||
You want somebody who joined the American military? | ||
Yeah, right. | ||
You mean a deep state plant? | ||
Okay, fine. | ||
So he was in the military. | ||
Great. | ||
He went to Yale Law. | ||
Billionaire investor class. | ||
That's sort of dishonestly putting it though, isn't it? | ||
We'll get to how he's an investor, but the man grew up as an orphan for all intents and purposes. | ||
So this guy wasn't, this guy's in the blue blood. | ||
He's not somebody who, you know, comes from a long line of billionaires. | ||
He's had his way through life paid for him. | ||
You know, he's not an Anthony Blinken type where it's like Anthony Blinken's grandfather was the NATO secretary and his uncle was the ambassador to Japan and his dad was the I mean. | ||
That's type people that run our country now. | ||
JD Vance is a truly self made example of the American dream. | ||
But as that's categorized here, billionaire investor class is a diverse family. | ||
Yes, he married an Indian woman so. | ||
Obviously that's disqualifying, right? | ||
AIPAC. | ||
Yes, he took money from AIPAC. | ||
That might be the only thing on this list that I, that is actually kind of annoying, but also, except for Thomas Massey, everybody in office is taking money from AIPAC. | ||
That's one of the problems that we're trying to deal with, but until we deal with it, it's going to be there. | ||
Big Tech has a big check mark next to it. | ||
Never Trumper. | ||
Yes, in 2016, he did not like Donald Trump. | ||
Fast-tracked politically by the existing establishment. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, he... Yeah. | |
Is a senator. | ||
Okay, so, again, I'm just not- This is not compelling to me. | ||
This is not, like, proof that he's not... the best choice. | ||
Nothing about this. | ||
When you compare J.D. | ||
Vance's record, and his life, and his... curriculum vitae, It's like so much better than anything else from any other politician. | ||
So what are you complaining about? | ||
He's not 100% perfect, so therefore he's a deep state plant and they're gonna kill Trump and... Would you market the B system with him? | ||
I just don't think so. | ||
unidentified
|
You're tuned in to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | |
Watch it live right now at band.video. | ||
Believe it or not, folks, we still here on InfoWars get the majority of our audience on terrestrial radio. | ||
I know most of the time we talk about our broadcast, it's Rumble or it's band.video or Bing on X. The majority of our audience is still listening to my voice right now on a radio tuner. Yeah. | ||
And I was just trying to think about why it makes me so frustrated to see what I'm seeing now with all these supposed Trump supporters, all these supposed far-right, nationalist, patriot, liberty types. | ||
Demand perfection. | ||
And spurred out when, you know, they learned JD Vance visited Israel once. | ||
It's like, I sort of get the same feeling when people complain about commercial breaks on InfoWars. | ||
And there's like, I try to listen in forwards, there's too many commercial breaks. | ||
And it's like, we're on radio. | ||
We're on terrestrial radio. | ||
We have to take breaks. | ||
It's programmed in. | ||
It wouldn't make any sense for us. | ||
We cannot not take breaks. | ||
We have to. | ||
It's in the, it's in the programming. | ||
It's on the radio. | ||
These things have to be stuck to. | ||
It's just how it is. | ||
So I'm sorry that we're giving you 10 hours a day of free content. | ||
And that three times an hour, we have to take a two minute break. | ||
I'm sorry it's not perfect for you. | ||
I don't know, I shouldn't be yelling at our audience. | ||
But this is how I feel. | ||
It's like, look, there's just some things that are reality and you just have to deal with it. | ||
And we're doing the best we can. | ||
And maybe you could just be appreciative of what we got and that we're doing the best with what we have. | ||
And yeah, we gotta take commercial breaks. | ||
It's just the way the world is. | ||
It's just a requirement. | ||
I don't know what to tell you. | ||
It's not an option for like we okay. | ||
What should we do is just abandon the majority of our audience to go totally on the internet. | ||
So you don't have to hear and we don't even play commercial. | ||
I mean half the time. | ||
It's just like cool edits and like reports playing so it's not even like commercial break. | ||
So just what are you complaining about? | ||
I don't get it. | ||
And yeah, we have to sell things to stay on air. | ||
We can't just do this for free. | ||
We have families to feed. | ||
And if we can't, you know, get support at InfoWars, we can't do this anymore. | ||
That's just reality. | ||
So again, when I, when I hear people complain about this stuff, it's like, I don't know, you know, this is just how it is. | ||
We just have to make money and we are on the radio. | ||
We have to take commercial breaks. | ||
So we do the best we can with these things in mind. | ||
But people hate us for it. | ||
People think, you know, people refuse to listen. | ||
They talk badly. | ||
They don't even listen to us. | ||
They just talk bad. | ||
I used to listen, but it was too much like a, it was like a, you know, infomercial. | ||
I had to stop watching it. | ||
It's like, okay, well, I'm sorry that we have to earn money. | ||
I'm sorry that that's the way the world is. | ||
And I'm sorry if us acknowledging and contending with reality makes you mad, but there's nothing we can do. | ||
I don't know if that makes any sense, but I just, I get that same feeling with JD Vance, where it's like these people are just demanding something that's like impossible. | ||
It's just like, okay, we're talking about reality here. | ||
So I'm sorry that reality doesn't match with your imagined fantastical perfection. | ||
And you're angry that that's literally not possible, but we're trying to deal with reality here. | ||
And the reality is, That for anything to get better, Donald Trump has to get elected. | ||
And no, that's not going to solve everything. | ||
And no, he's not perfect either. | ||
And in reality, there's a whole litany of other things we need to be doing to ensure that MAGA has a future after Donald Trump. | ||
But what doesn't help is undercutting and bitching at and being hyper critical of Some of the best people on our side. | ||
I just want to win. | ||
I just want to win. | ||
And I want to strategize on how to win. | ||
And you don't win by being a bunch of crabs in the bucket. | ||
unidentified
|
That's how it feels. | |
Crabs in the bucket. | ||
We're frogs in a boiling pot, and we're crabs in a bucket, right? | ||
If you don't know that saying, basically, if you have a bucket full of crabs, they could escape if they wanted, but every time one of them gets its claw up on the edge of the bucket and starts to pull itself to freedom, the other ones go, oh, I can do that, too, and pull him down, and none of them ever escape, because they're pulling each other down, not because anything else is keeping them in the bucket. | ||
And that's how it feels to be a right winger these days. | ||
Speaking of commercials and advertising, have you gone to InfoWarsStore.com? | ||

It's InfoWars MD, the premium supplements. | ||
They're really doing incredible stuff. | ||
With that, we'll go out to your calls. | ||
I still have more from, you know, JD Vance. | ||
We get into his big tech participation, that sort of stuff. | ||
He received $15 million from Peter Thiel, who helped found PayPal along with Elon Musk. | ||
He also runs Palantir, which is up to some very evil things. | ||
And he's in the steering committee. | ||
He's a steering committee member of the Bilderberg Group. | ||
This is Peter Thiel, who helped to fund J.D. Vance in his campaign. | ||
But they actually were in business together before then, J.D. | ||
J.D. | ||
Vance, Blake Masters, Peter Thiel, and the anti-Big Tech hypocrisy. | ||
These GOP candidates profited off of tech firms. | ||
Now they denounce them. | ||
This is a story from 2022 from Mother Jones. | ||
They talk about some of the statements made against Big Tech by J.D. | ||
Vance. | ||
He said, quote, Big Tech has become more powerful than our own government and controls what you're allowed to say and what you're allowed to think in your own country. | ||
He thinks that breaking up Silicon Valley companies is a good idea and complained there are very few senators willing to go after Silicon Valley. | ||
He characterized the entire economic engine of Big Tech, of Facebook, of Google, of everyone as quote, harvesting your data. | ||
It's effectively spying on you. | ||
Which is true and all good. | ||
Here's where his participation comes in. | ||
Vance was a principal at Mithril Capital Management, feels So yeah, he was a VC. | ||
In 2019, he co-founded Noria Capital, a VC firm. | ||
To launch the company, he relied on funding from Teal and other big tech titans, Eric Schmidt, a past CEO of Google, and Mark Andersen, who co-founded Netscape and the Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andersen Horowitz. | ||
unidentified
|
So yeah, he was a VC. | |
The thing is, if you aren't connected to the VC, like if you don't know anything about the VC world, it has a lot of libertarian types in it. | ||
Like a lot. | ||
Like more than almost any other, like real patriot types. | ||
And it's weird because, you know, a lot of the, you know, it's not controlled by those people. | ||
At the end of the day, the big tech companies are all, you know, socialist, globalist types, but still, there's a lot of venture capital firms that are run by just like I mean, I know one guy who just he figured out. | ||
I probably shouldn't even say this on air. | ||
Just because other people are going to do it, but he just figured out early on that he could subscribe by paying like 100 bucks a month. | ||
You can subscribe to the AP Newswire, which is the. | ||
It's the Newswire, it's where all of the other outlets get all of their news, right? | ||
They just get an AP story and then they rewrite it for their own outlet. | ||
But what it means is that you're getting the news before it gets anywhere else. | ||
So this guy, he's just like a regular dude. | ||
He's like a mechanic or something. | ||
And he decided, you know what? | ||
I'm going to sign up for the AP Newswire. | ||
I'm going to get news about five minutes before the rest of the world does. | ||
And I'm going to buy stocks based off of that news. | ||
It's not insider trading because it's public information. | ||
It's just not widespread yet. | ||
And so he just took that five-minute advantage he had to rapidly buy stocks from whichever company was mentioned in the news report. | ||
He became like a billionaire that way. | ||
There's a lot of people in VC who are simply very clever and make a lot of money. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
But that is the, that's the connection that, uh, you know, Peter Thiel. | ||
Peter Thiel's a giant force behind a lot of, um, conservative and so-called conservative movements. | ||
I'm sort of agnostic about him. | ||
Kind of in the same way with Elon Musk. | ||
Does a lot of good stuff. | ||
Funds a lot of great things. | ||
Also has his fingers in some very suspicious pies. | ||
But enough from me, let's go to you. | ||
Toto in Wisconsin has a comment about J.D. | ||
Vance. | ||
Go ahead, Toto, you're on the air. | ||
Yeah, I'm here in Milwaukee with the RNC and, like, last night was pretty wild. | ||
Like, this giant storm came in right as Trump was going to make an appearance at the Pfizer farm. | ||
And, like, there was, like, seven tornadoes in Chicago suburbs. | ||
Just went south of us and there was like klaxons in downtown Chicago. | ||
Yeah, I heard there were tornadoes in Chicago. | ||
unidentified
|
It's crazy. | |
Yeah, it was like dozens of circulations and I think they said now like 7 to 10 tornadoes on the ground. | ||
But with JD Vance, I think it's like a like a coalition pick. | ||
You know, he's making like Obama did a coalition of the willing. | ||
You know, you saw Tucker there and other people like a squad. | ||
And, you know, I think with, uh, you know, if you study communications and optics pick 70% they say is how you look, 20% how you sound and 10% the actual content of what you're talking about. | ||
So I understand the strategy, you know, I thought Trump was like high class. | ||
Like he could have been like other people and probably like show off the wound and be like, Oh, look, look how they got me or whatever. | ||
But he was classy and put the bandage over. | ||
You know, like, maybe he could put in, like, a sweet ear gauge diamond with, like, a Trump logo on it, I thought. | ||
You know, he had, like, a coalition of, like, the Speak Speaker and Teamsters and legal immigrants, so, like, building a platform. | ||
So I thought it was, you know, could have been way worse. | ||
And everything beyond that, I've spoke with Owen before about it, is, like, you get in the realm of, like, pure Puritanism, and Trump's the guy in the arena, and everyone, of course, is going to be like, it's his pick, ultimately, and everyone's going to be like, all right, the gladiator should swing his sword this way or that way. | ||
So who knows why he's made that pick, really, but I'm sure he has his reasons, Trump, that is. | ||
What do you think, Harrison? | ||
No, I agree with basically everything you're saying, and yeah, again, I think it was a very good pick. | ||
He could have picked a lot. | ||
Of significantly worse people. | ||
So, you know, I, I really don't know what everybody's complaining. | ||
I really don't get what everybody's complaining about. | ||
I mean, JD Vance is not somebody that strikes me as someone who they're going to kill Trump to get an office. | ||
He's not friendly to their ideas. | ||
He's really not. | ||
They really hate this guy. | ||
They being the neocons and the liberals. | ||
So again, what are we complaining about? | ||
And so I keep seeing people, you know, they're like, he's the worst. | ||
It's like, who would you rather have him choose instead? | ||
And people are like, Tucker Carlson. | ||
It's like, okay, but Tucker's not going to do that. | ||
You didn't want to do that. | ||
That was never an option. | ||
That's the thing. | ||
It's like, it's just these fancies. | ||
Also, everything you can say bad about JD Vance, you can say bad about Tucker Carlson. | ||
What can you say about J.D. | ||
Vance? | ||
You can't equally say or even more so about Tucker Carlson. | ||
The grass is always greener on the other side, but Tucker Carlson spent his entire, he used to work for CNN. | ||
What? | ||
He was a neocon at Fox for years. | ||
He loves Israel. | ||
All of these things. | ||
So it's like, what are we complaining about? | ||
Who would be better? | ||
Nobody. | ||
What are we complaining about? | ||
Thanks for the call, Toto. | ||
Let's go to Steve in Alaska. | ||
Go ahead, Steve, you're on the air. | ||
unidentified
|
Hold on real quick, coming. | |
All right, Steve's connecting here. | ||
All right, go ahead, Steve. | ||
Hello, can you hear me? | ||
Yeah, go ahead. | ||
unidentified
|
So the problem with JD Vance is he's not somebody that's a fucking establishment. | |
All right, all right, all right, all right, all right. | ||
I'll let you get away with that one, Steve, but we're on Terrestrial Radio. | ||
I just did a big rant about it. | ||
Try not to curse for us here. | ||
Go ahead. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
Sorry. | ||
unidentified
|
Sorry, man. | |
Oilfield language. | ||
He is not somebody that the establishment will fear. | ||
So if they are put in a position where they can kill Trump, which is what they're going to do, they're going to end up with somebody that they can easily control. | ||
Because I don't think that he's going to have what it's going to take, like say, and I'm going to use Vivek Ramaswamy, whom I do not support, but I do support his policies because he wants to abolish the Fed, he wants to abolish the FBI, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. | ||
So somebody like that is somebody that the establishment would fear. | ||
So they would leave Trump in office, you know, as an idea, rather than deal with somebody like him who will basically dismantle their whole platform. | ||
That's why I do not support Vance. | ||
No, I'm not a fan of Israel either. | ||
And I don't like Trump. | ||
I mean, we just read a quote from J.D. | ||
Vance where he says exactly that. | ||
He's like, we need to dismantle everything. | ||
The number one thing Trump should do is fire all of the mid-level bureaucrats and replace them with patriotic Trump supporters. | ||
So, I mean, that's exactly what he said. | ||
unidentified
|
How long has Mr. Vance been in office? | |
And I only say this as an example. | ||
How many bills has he introduced to audit the Fed or dismantle any of these three-letter agencies? | ||
Sorry, man. | ||
Actions speak louder than words when it comes to that. | ||
And I'm tired of settling for second best as an American. | ||
You know, oh, it's the best of the worst pick, right? | ||
All right, so who would you rather he pick? | ||
unidentified
|
I would rather he pick somebody that is a no-name, and don't get me wrong, I would probably be a bad choice for that position, but somebody more like me, because I'm not kidding you, I would dismantle that whole platform. | |
I would push to prosecute all of these traitors, these people who won't swear oaths to office and defend our Constitution. | ||
Those who want to send money to foreign countries rather than take care of our veterans in our own country. | ||
So, I don't know who he could pick, to be honest. | ||
Yeah, he's probably the best of the worst category of choices, but I just hope he works out because I don't want to go to a civil war and I don't want to kill Americans. | ||
I don't want to be forced to Make sure that the legacy of America lives on through the blood of other Americans. | ||
Yeah, I don't want to see that. | ||
Yeah, I don't either so I don't understand it's. | ||
unidentified
|
It's exactly what I was exactly what I said, right? | |
I mean this is. | ||
I don't get it. | ||
I don't get it. | ||
You said you don't. | ||
You're you're tired of. | ||
Settling for a second best. | ||
unidentified
|
But. | |
Then there's nobody better than Vance. | ||
Then you're not settling for second best. | ||
You're settling for first best, which isn't settling. | ||
It's the best, right? | ||
Anyway, I don't, uh, I just don't, I don't get it. | ||
I don't get it. | ||
I don't get it. | ||
Uh, yeah, I don't know. | ||
He's not, yeah, Trump's like, is that what it boils down to is literally, it's just like, who would you rather have Trump pick vice president? | ||
Me? | ||
unidentified
|
I mean, that's... | |
You get he has to pick somebody with experience that's in the... | ||
Like, he's not... | ||
He's not going to pick an old field worker. | ||
I mean, honestly, I'm not not even, you know. | ||
Not saying you wouldn't do a good job, I. | ||
In a fantasy, yeah, that would be awesome. | ||
If Trump was just like, actually it's this guy that's been managing my hotel in, you know, Minnesota for 70 years, for 50 years. | ||
He's just, he's the best manager I've ever had. | ||
And he's, he's just a rock solid dude. | ||
And he's the nighttime manager at the Trump hotel in Chicago. | ||
I, that would probably give us the best candidate to be honest with you, but that's not how this works. | ||
So, What are we doing? | ||
What are we fantasizing about? | ||
That's never an option, so let's talk about real things. | ||
Andrew in New Jersey, what is your take on J.D. | ||
Vance? | ||
Just want to say, Evander Holyfield has nothing on Trump. | ||
You get the reference? | ||
He's a boxer. | ||
I'm not sure I get the reference. | ||
Oh, is he the one that got his ear bit off? | ||
Right, right. | ||
I saw somebody post a picture of him with his ear off and it just said, Trump assassination, Netflix adaption. | ||
And I just want to say, the red flag with J.D. | ||
Vance, from what you read, it only would be the pharmaceutical, being with the pharmaceutical companies. | ||
And I wanted to elaborate on what he said about affirmative action or diversity, equity, inclusion. | ||
And also, I could link that to the Trump fist bump, but he's right. | ||
It is racism against whites and white men, but it's also racism against minorities because you're lowering the standard. | ||
So that is demeaning and that's racist in itself because you're not treating people equally. | ||
You're looking down on them. | ||
Just like with lowering, like with the fist bump Trump was able to do, I think ironically, because of affirmative action, They had these smaller females that couldn't subdue Trump, like stop him. | ||
They were trying to do the right thing and push him, you know, but he was bigger than them. | ||
So he was able to stop. | ||
Not anymore, though. | ||
He does that injury. | ||
Not anymore. | ||
Last night, he was surrounded by all men, all big men on his detail today or yesterday. | ||
I don't know if you noticed that. | ||
Yeah, DEI is destroying this country. | ||
And that's the type of thing that I wanted to hear. | ||
I wanted to hear that case being made yesterday at the RNC. | ||
You know, they'll say stuff like, we're not racist. | ||
Democrats are the racist. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And it's like, okay, great. | ||
You know, we've heard that a million times. | ||
But they'll say, you know, I don't know. | ||
They're sort of pandering. | ||
They're sort of like, actually Democrats are the real racists. | ||
How about you actually make the argument? | ||
Because the argument I always hear from black politicians or public Figures is they're like, they're not doing enough for us. | ||
Biden's not doing that. | ||
They expect our vote, but then they never do anything for us. | ||
We never get, you know, get anything from them. | ||
And like the argument I would make positive, the DNC is like, that's not the issue. | ||
The issue is they're doing too much. | ||
The issue is they treat minorities like little babies that need help constantly. | ||
It's disrespectful. | ||
And it's not that they haven't done enough. | ||
They've done too much. | ||
Every time they try to help you, you end up worse. | ||
So it's not that you need somebody who will pander to you even harder and give you even more unearned goods. | ||
You need to reject this mentality of we cannot do anything without daddy government giving us a leg up. | ||
Like, have some self-respect, have some honor, and say, quit trying to treat me like a child. | ||
Just get out of my way and let me achieve greatness on my own. | ||
I would like to see some speeches that talk about these things with some substance and make arguments that might resonate with people, rather than just, Democrats are the real racists for the thousandth time, without anything to back it up. | ||
At least provide some evidence. | ||
At least provide some arguments as to what makes them racist. | ||
Or why DEI has a negative impact for anybody of every race, color, and creed. | ||
Again, just to talk about Trump's assassination and the J.D. | ||
Vance pick and the RNC and all of these things sort of represent just increasingly common examples of incompetence and ...division in our country when we should all be unified and fighting for our lives to retake power before it's too late. | ||
unidentified
|
All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back. | |
Your calls on our three topics today, the Trump assassination, the pick of J.D. | ||
Vance as vice president nominee, as well as the RNC overall. | ||
I'm gonna go to two videos here. | ||
That I think show that Vance is willing to take extremely unpopular positions in contrary to basically every other Republican politician. | ||
And these stances, to me, represent a fundamental belief system. | ||
That's sort of the most important thing. | ||
You can sort of debate on the nuances of a lot of policies, but if you have the basics right, that's rare in and of itself. | ||
And one of the things that I'm glad that he seems to understand is that America is not simply an economic zone. | ||
We are not just a giant shopping mall. | ||
We are a people with a land. | ||
And you can't just replace all of the people with other people and still have it be the same nation. | ||
We are not interchangeable. | ||
We are unique and special. | ||
And he seems to understand this. | ||
So let's go to clip number 18. | ||
Here's JD Vance rejecting the widely held Believe ideology that the position that you've heard from supposed conservatives for a long time that America is just an idea Charlie Kirk has said this he said if you just You just have America. | ||
It doesn't matter who's there or where it is. | ||
It's just it's an idea. | ||
It's a thing that anybody can be It's like not really though JD Vance Debunks this in this speech, let's watch One of the things that you hear people say, even on our side, that you hear people say is that America is the first creedal nation. | ||
Okay? | ||
America is an idea. | ||
Now, America has really good ideas at the founding of our country. | ||
It was created by very brilliant men. | ||
The Constitution, of course, had this incredible influence and political theory, and that's why it has stood the test of time. | ||
But America is not just an idea, though we were founded on great ideas. | ||
America is a nation. | ||
It is a group of people with a common history and a common future. | ||
And yes, thank you. | ||
One of the parts of that commonality as a people is that we do allow newcomers to this country, but we allow them on our terms, on the terms of the American citizens. | ||
And that's the way that we preserve the continuity of this project from 200 years past to hopefully 200 years in the future. | ||
How do you not like this guy? | ||
Can you name me a single other politician that has said something like that? | ||
I tell you, a lot of politicians say the exact opposite. | ||
I can't, I don't, Steve King, maybe, and he was ousted from office for even hinting that America is not just an economic zone with interchangeable parts, being the people. | ||
We'll go to one more clip, then onto your calls. | ||
Clip 20 here. | ||
This is JD Vance, again, taking on the immigration topic and the housing market topic. | ||
In a way that seems fairly unique to Vance. | ||
Let's watch. | ||
I want to focus on one of the under-discussed components of the housing crisis in our country today, and that is its connection to mass illegal immigration. | ||
And just to sort of put a fine point and explain where I'm coming from on that and why I'm raising this issue is, I think that a lot of our friends on the other side of the aisle have convinced themselves that lax immigration is somehow a compassionate thing to do. | ||
And yet if you take 5 to 10 million people and you introduce them into a country over two years and you're talking about you increase the demand for housing because it's 5 to 10 million people need housing while at the same time the supply of housing is relatively inelastic. | ||
So with that in mind, there are a couple pieces of research that we've sort of been looking at just as I focus on this particular issue. | ||
You do see very predictable increases in housing costs and rents when you have mass immigration into a country, into a metro area, even into a county. | ||
Combine that, that increase in rents and increase in housing costs with another unusual component of the effect on mass immigration and housing costs. | ||
And it's that in the neighborhood where you have the highest inflow of immigration, you also have declining home prices. | ||
So if you take those two pieces of evidence together, what you basically get is rich people who have homes in low immigration areas benefit from our mass immigration policies. | ||
And everybody else finds the American dream of home ownership further and further away because of because we've effectively invited five to 10 million people into our country to break our laws. | ||
I think that we talk too much about this, not that the law enforcement component doesn't matter, Not that the fentanyl overdoses don't matter. | ||
They matter a great deal to the people of Ohio. | ||
We cannot, as a country, absorb 10 million people and still provide high quality housing to the rest of our citizens. | ||
It just doesn't, the math doesn't work. | ||
The numbers don't make sense. | ||
The increase in housing prices and rents is clear for all to see. | ||
See, that's why, that's why the left really doesn't like Vance. | ||
Because he believes what Trump believes, but he's better at explaining it. | ||
Like that's the one thing that the left has is that Donald Trump is sort of his own worst enemy a lot of times. | ||
And the thing that frustrates me the most about him is that, you know, he refuses to like read a teleprompter and just lay out arguments that are comprehensible to people. | ||
It's fine for us because we're supporters and we know what he's talking about. | ||
So when he's just like, Housing prices are going up. | ||
Immigration is terrible. | ||
We get it. | ||
Most people, this just sounds like nonsense. | ||
He's talking about housing prices and how are these things related? | ||
Well, you need somebody like JD Vance to lay it out very clearly. | ||
Here's how it's related. | ||
Here's the stats to back up what I'm saying. | ||
Here's how illegal immigration is bad for everybody and opposition to it is actually a, uh, beneficent position. | ||
You can't just say, it's not racist to not want immigration. | ||
That's not a good argument. | ||
The argument is, no, here's why I don't like immigration. | ||
Stat, stat, stat. | ||
Appeal to emotion, right? | ||
That's how you do it. | ||
And that's why they fear him. | ||
But I understand people have their suspicions. | ||
Sean from California says he likes Vance less and less the more he looks into him. | ||
Go ahead, Sean, you're on the air. | ||
Yeah, Harrison, I'd love to wax poetic about that Roman fort in Jerusalem because it shows me you've done your research, as we all expect from the family at InfoWars American Journal. | ||
So I definitely appreciate that. | ||
But I'm not going to condemn Vance out and out. | ||
It's like to me, there's a pro and con list, kind of like what you were doing going through them. | ||
And, you know, I like him because like myself, former Marine, OK, he's young. | ||
That's good. | ||
He's for crypto. | ||
But then you got away the bad. | ||
And, you know, he went from being Christian to Catholic. | ||
Now, I'm not hating on Catholics. | ||
I'm just not a fan of the current Catholic Church and its current Pope. | ||
So there's some questions there. | ||
And you pointed out, you know, with Yale, we don't know if he's skull and bones or not. | ||
And then there's, when it comes to tech, you know, when you tweet stuff out, Not just because, you know, I'm not going to get on about hating Donald Trump in his previous post and then flipping the script when Trump endorsed him, but what I'm going to look at is this tweet he had that has been scrubbed from the Internet in which he states, I'm trying to say that Assange fits pretty neatly into the bad bucket, and I wish people would stop hanging on his every word. | ||
Essentially, he's not a fan of Julian Assange, who, as far as I know, has been one of the biggest thorns in the side of the deep state and the globalists in the last What, 20 years? | ||
Yeah. | ||
So, you know, he has essentially a lot of explaining to do, and I'm going to go a little bit further. | ||
I think Trump was going to drop him as the VP choice at the end of the convention to surprise everyone and have a big pop and momentum, leaving the convention rather than announcing. | ||
Stay on the line here, Sean. | ||
We've got to go to break. | ||
We'll be right back. | ||
Welcome back, folks. | ||
We'll go out to your phone calls again here. | ||
Most people are calling in about J.D. | ||
Vance. | ||
That seems to be the item of contention on today's docket. | ||
Let's go back to you, Sean, in California. | ||
Sorry, you got cut off. | ||
We got the break snuck up on me there. | ||
But, Sean, continue with your thoughts, please, before you got cut off. | ||
Yeah, no problem, Harrison, and I appreciate you letting me continue. | ||
The thing with Vance, I think that maybe Trump Based on his fundraising emails and texts I get, he wanted to delay as long as he could announcing Vance's VP until the end of the convention to have a big buzz and pop and thus spike fundraising. | ||
But with the assassination attempt, we don't know who made Secret Service play the clowns. | ||
I'm thinking maybe it forced him to up the timetable because everyone was focused on whether Biden was going to be dropped by the DNC. | ||
So it takes the attention away from Biden and his gaps. | ||
And it now focuses the spotlight back on what will Trump do and something just to close up with that whole assassination thing. | ||
You know, there's footage of people watching this guy climbing up on the roof. | ||
Americans need to rediscover the citizen's arrest. | ||
It's still on the books and that may come in handy. | ||
You know, if some people had intervened, we might still have one fire chief able to come home and see his wife and daughters. | ||
You know, it's not enough to film stuff with cell phones. | ||
Have your buddy next to you hold your cell phone and you learn how to do a proper citizen's arrest. | ||
And if you have to go to court and testify why you detain them, you detain them. | ||
You know, Americans need to remember that we're not, I'm not saying vigilantism, but if you do things lawfully and properly, the power is bigger with the people locally than it is in a little place, you know, the swamp of DC. | ||
And this is the last thing with Vance Harrison. | ||
I'm going to sum it up real quick. | ||
If you research the root of his name, It actually translates to fan or marshland in like old English. | ||
It's basically a swamp. | ||
Are you serious? | ||
I'm not kidding. | ||
I'm not kidding. | ||
That's what Vance means? | ||
That's what it traces back to, marshland. | ||
Crew, get on that. | ||
We need a debunking. | ||
Yeah, I couldn't believe it. | ||
I'm trying to do a deep dive on him, and I only had about 45 minutes last night to check out stuff. | ||
Look at his mentor, too, when he was at Yale, that she was his godmother for him writing his book, which I'm a conservative like you. | ||
I didn't hear about his book at all. | ||
How did I miss it over here on the West Coast? | ||
Oh, really? | ||
Yeah, it's supposed to be the book that was all the rage. | ||
- Oh, I remember it being a pretty big deal. | ||
I think a movie got made out of it. | ||
I think like a Hollywood picture came out of it. | ||
Yeah, it was pretty big. | ||
I knew about the book before I knew, wait, the name Vance is a boy's name of English origin, meaning someone who lives near marshland. | ||
Oh no. | ||
Oh my God. | ||
This is the first piece of information that has made me a second guess. | ||
I mean, I'll hear about your political opinions, but I'm looking for something more metaphysical. | ||
I'm looking for something God-ordained, and that has to do with meanings of names. | ||
Very interesting. | ||
They tell you who they are. | ||
Yeah. | ||
That's just, that's like too much. | ||
That's like the CIA agent Mudd, Philip Mudd. | ||
I don't know, name can say a lot sometimes. | ||
So his original... Somehow I came across his name last night when he did this too, like, oh gosh. | ||
No, that is very fascinating. | ||
So the story, I mean, Vance's story is very, very interesting. | ||
He was born James Donald Bowman in 1984. | ||
He was named after his father. | ||
Donald Bowman, who left Vance's mother around the time I started walking, he wrote in his memoir. | ||
unidentified
|
Which is horrible. | |
His mother later renamed him James David Hamill, using an uncle's name along with the surname of his adopted father. | ||
When he married his wife, Usha, both took Vance as their last name, a nod to the grandparents who largely raised him and helped shape his values in Middletown, Ohio. | ||
Mama and Papa Vance were among the most memorable characters in Hillbilly Elegy. | ||
Glenn Close earned an Academy Award nomination for her portrayal of Mama in the film Adaption. | ||
He talks about how they taught the importance of loyalty. | ||
So yeah, apparently, I guess Vance would have been his mom's maiden name. | ||
If I assume he was with his maternal grandparents being raised by them. | ||
Yeah, he had a really tragic and rough, rough childhood and was born Bowman, but changed his name to Vance. | ||
And I don't blame him. | ||
Leaving a kid at one years old as a father is like Yep. | ||
One of the worst things you can possibly do. | ||
Well, thank you very much for the call, Sean. | ||
Thank you for your input. | ||
We're going to go to some more here. | ||
Let's go to Jay in Illinois. | ||
Go ahead. | ||
Jay, you're on the air. | ||
What are your thoughts on Vance? | ||
Good afternoon. | ||
Good afternoon. | ||
unidentified
|
Morning. | |
Good morning. | ||
Morning. | ||
So, my thoughts, you asked, who else would you have, you know, who else talks like this? | ||
Well, I kind of like Marjorie Taylor. | ||
And I kind of like Vivek, although I listened to Vivek, one of his speeches, he spoke a lot like Obama did. | ||
And he also has made a lot of money off of pharmaceutical enterprise, whatever, you know. | ||
So, I don't know who this Vance character is, and like you said, it really doesn't much matter. | ||
What kind of matters is getting in Donald Trump, and I'm thinking if everybody wore red, And when they voted and they counted how many people had some type of a red item on, whether it be a hat or a shirt or pants, they could get a more accurate exit polling idea. | ||
And then should they eventually—so should those votes add up and they don't jive with what the machines are going to tell you, because you know they're going to steal it one way or the other, then everybody that has arms ought to surround city halls on a Monday and say, nobody's going to work. | ||
Until this election is fixed. | ||
Disavow. | ||
Disavow. | ||
unidentified
|
I gotta disavow. | |
Jay, come on man. | ||
You can't. | ||
Look. | ||
I like that you're thinking outside the box, Jay. | ||
I like that you're thinking outside the box. | ||
I personally am not going to co-sign Trump supporters getting their guns in surrounding City Hall. | ||
I can't endorse that, Jay. | ||
I just can't. | ||
But I like that you're thinking outside the box. | ||
Thanks for the call. | ||
Jay, let's go to Tony in Texas. | ||
Tony, go ahead. | ||
You're on the air. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, let me give you some advice about Lindsey Graham. | |
Never bend over in front of him, because he's the reason why the politicians at the nation's capital locker room have soap on a rope. | ||
And he always comes out the closet, and he's always singing YMCA by the Village People. | ||
He's a bad character, isn't he? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, but you know JD Vance? | |
Here's something people need to think about with JD Vance. | ||
At least they didn't do what they always do, go to the politician graveyard and dig up some old corpse. | ||
We got young blood in there. | ||
I'm tired of these old crypt keepers destroying our damn country. | ||
I think his age, I think his age is probably his best attribute. | ||
Honestly, I think that's what, like, really you should make people excited about him. | ||
I totally agree. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes, oh yes. | |
Oh, and before I go, can I do a shout out to a little baseball player? | ||
Sure. | ||
Okay, I want to shout out to Wyatt the Possum Wagner. | ||
He's a good little ball player, little buddy of mine. | ||
All right, awesome. | ||
He's got a good name for baseball. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh yeah, the Possum. | |
Oh, I was going to say Wagner, like Honus Wagner, but yeah, the Possum's a good one too. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
And something else, you know, as we're all sitting around waiting on one man to save us, we need to start thinking about this. | ||
You know, these so-called red states that we live in, we don't have control of the local and state government of these red states. | ||
We keep voting in these globalist bush boy rhinos And they're steamrolling us and distilling and destroying us right in front of us. | ||
If we can't fix our own local and state governments, how are we going to fix the federal government? | ||
You're exactly right. | ||
And that is key. | ||
And that's why, again, it's like, I don't think Trump's going to save us. | ||
I think Trump is like a necessary, you know, thing to achieve. | ||
You know, it's like if you're in war and it's like, OK, we need to capture the well because we need to be able to water to our army, but capturing the well isn't winning the war. | ||
It's a necessary component. | ||
It's a necessary step because without it, you're definitely going to lose. | ||
That's how this works. | ||
So Trump's not going to save anybody. | ||
We need to save Trump. | ||
It's up to us to give Trump the backup he needs. | ||
It's up to us to get good congressmen, good senators, good local leaders, good people in the election offices. | ||
It's up to us to create the system-wide change that we desire. | ||
It cannot all come from Donald Trump, and we cannot put all of our energy into that one option. | ||
We can't have all of our eggs in that one basket. | ||
So I completely agree. | ||
And I think if we, you know, there's almost no point of even electing Trump if all of the same people are running everything in the, you know, local areas or in the federal organs, right? | ||
So we've got to, if we want Trump to be effective, we have to send back up to him. | ||
We have to send good people. | ||
I can't, I remember if you or somebody else mentioned Marjorie Taylor Green, we need people like that in Congress. | ||
Now she would not make a good vice president. | ||
And this is the thing. | ||
This is why you need to think strategically. | ||
I love Marjorie Taylor Green. | ||
I love what she does. | ||
I would never endorse her for vice president pick. | ||
Because people hate her, and she's been smeared continuously, and it would hurt Trump's chances. | ||
unidentified
|
I mean, I don't like Marjorie Taylor Greene. | |
It means she wouldn't be a good pick for Vice President. | ||
And that's just the way it is. | ||
Thanks for joining us, folks. | ||
