...press secretary. | |
| Look, I would be very good at that job, but come on, Alex Jones. | ||
| Like, there could be no one better suited for that job. | ||
| That would make us happier. | ||
| We would be watching press briefings every single day like it was Game of Thrones. | ||
| There's a couple people I want to put in as press secretary for like a month, two weeks to a month. | ||
| You know, that'd be where, you know, Laura Loomer would fit in for that one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Again, Alex Jones for a month just to put these idiots in their place. | |
| Because I'll say this. | ||
| I woke up this morning to see it trending at the top of X, Alex Jones for the new Trump press secretary. | ||
| Now, this joke, this meme has been going on for eight years, actually longer. | ||
| It was even going on during the campaign in 2016. | ||
| And then recently, Don Jr. | ||
| came out and said, no, I think you should at least be press secretary for a few weeks, a month. | ||
| He said he wasn't joking. | ||
| And then now Candace Owens has come out and talked about it, and she was very gracious. | ||
| And now, again, it's trending the top of X. People are having polls. | ||
| The majority of them want it to happen. | ||
| Let me explain why this could actually be a good idea. | ||
| The globalists have demonized me more than anybody except Trump. | ||
| And the re-election of Trump, despite all the lawfare, all the fake charges, all the lies, all the hoaxes, It was a repudiation of the corporate media, the deep state, the Russia hoaxes, the impeachments, everything. | ||
| And it's important to let the establishment know that whoever you demonize and you attack, who is a patriot, we're going to hold them up as champions and let you know that you don't dictate to us with your distorted stories and your hoaxes and your lies who we're going to associate with. | ||
| The dead corporate dinosaur media has not been very powerful for a long time. | ||
| But now they're absolutely toxic and they have no power. | ||
| Everything they do blows up in their face. | ||
| And so, yes, it would be good to have someone like me to treat the corporate media with the disrespect they deserve, to explain their propagandists, their fake news, their dinosaur media. | ||
| They have almost no viewers, and they're liars. | ||
| And I would do a great job doing that. | ||
| Trump would do a great job doing that. | ||
| Elon Musk would do a great job. | ||
| Candace Owens would do a fabulous job. | ||
| And I think, not to just troll them, but to let them know what a joke they are. | ||
| It would be great to have me in there for, say, a month. | ||
| I wouldn't want to do it longer than that. | ||
| I like doing my daily show. | ||
| I don't want to be in D.C. And then you could have Candace Owens in for a month. | ||
| You could have, you know, there's so many other... | ||
| Hell, maybe Joe Rogan would come to it for a week. | ||
| And I'm telling you, this would be something that would turn out, like Candace Owens said, being bigger than Game of Thrones. | ||
| I absolutely know that if I was the press secretary... | ||
| And did it for like two hours a day. | ||
| I would attack the background of the companies. | ||
| I would know all about the reporters. | ||
| I would know every one of the issues and attack their lies. | ||
| It wouldn't be like their fake press secretary to just read off a list with canned disinfo. | ||
| I would absolutely devastate them for sure. | ||
| And it would just put them on notice even further that they were a fraud. | ||
| I predict within two weeks they would all boycott it and leave because I would be kicking their ass with the truth so bad in the information war. | ||
| And then we'd say, you know what? | ||
| How about all the real media? | ||
| How about all the real podcasters come in or their representatives come in And we then hear their questions and talk to them. | ||
| Or the foreign press, instead of all these little hand-selected so-called U.S. press that's just lapdogs of the system. | ||
| So the corporate media's dead. | ||
| Trump had a billion listeners when he was on with Elon Musk. | ||
| He should do that more. | ||
| And I think a few times Trump should come in and sit there and be the press secretary himself as well. | ||
| I mean, I think that that would be really, really exciting. | ||
| It would dominate the news cycle. | ||
| I would make sure to get Trump's agenda out there front and center because I absolutely support it. | ||
| And it would really show the people that this is grassroots, this is Maverick. | ||
| You know, just like Rogan a few weeks ago told Trump, he said, you know, the Maverick thing, the punk rock thing, the Sex Pistols thing is... | ||
| We really are, as conservatives, the avant-garde, the underdogs. | ||
| And that's what's happening here. | ||
| And so people should lean into that, not run away from it. | ||
| When Rand Paul first got elected to the Senate, and I've been a big supporter of him, they recognized that. | ||
| We were the main fundraiser for him. | ||
| Politico called me and said, what went wrong? | ||
| How could we have beaten him? | ||
| And I said, well, you just should have endorsed him. | ||
| Because you're the establishment. | ||
| Press Secretary Alex Jones, it is a distinct possibility at this point. | ||
| And wouldn't that be something? | ||
| Wouldn't that be the cherry on top of the cake? | ||
| We'll be right back through Daily Dispatch, folks. | ||
| It's American Journal. | ||
| Big guest today. | ||
| Stay tuned. | ||

|
It's Friday, November 8th in the year of our Lord, 2024. | |
| And you're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
| Watch it live right now at band.video. | ||
| I think it's time to blow this thing back. | ||
| Get everybody in the stuff together. | ||
| Okay, three, two, one, let's jam. | ||
| Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Welcome to the American Journal. | ||
| It's Friday, the 8th of November, 2024. | ||
| Very glad to have you here with us today. | ||
| Big guest in the third hour, Daniel McAdams. | ||
| He's the co-host of Ron Paul's Liberty Report. | ||
| Very excited to talk to him about what the Trump presidency means, what we can look forward to, concerns that we both share, I imagine, in terms of neocons getting in his cabinet. | ||
| But there's already a huge push to prevent that. | ||
| We're going to talk about some of the races that are still yet to be called. | ||
| As far as I understand it, the U.S. House is still a little bit up in the air. | ||
| Senate races being decided over the last 24 hours as well. | ||
| A lot of big things happening right now, including a statement from Donald Trump about going after the deep state that... | ||
| I don't have words to express what a wonderful thing this is. | ||
| I'm... | ||
| I'm so excited. | ||
| I really can't. | ||
| I mean, it's okay. | ||
| You'll just have to hear it. | ||
| You'll just have to hear it for yourself, because it's a doozy. | ||
| And we'll do that right after the Daily Dispatch. | ||
| We'll begin today, as we do every day, with our daily dispatch. | ||
| All right, here it is, folks, your daily dispatch for Friday, the 8th of November, 2024. | ||
| New York City ends controversial taxpayer-funded prepaid credit card program for illegal immigrants. | ||
| NCS folks, we're now three days after the election of Donald Trump and things are already getting better. | ||
| Mayor Eric Adams has announced the end of a controversial taxpayer-funded initiative distributing prepaid credit cards to illegal immigrants. | ||
| This program, which was initially launched as a pilot earlier this year with a $53 million budget, aimed to assist around 3,000 illegal immigrants and was set to expand its reach to over 7,300 individuals within the next half year, but will not see its contract renewed after January 2025. | ||
| The debit card initiative was designed to enable illegal immigrant families temporarily housed in upscale hotels like the Roosevelt Hotel to buy their groceries and baby supplies instead of receiving predetermined food services. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| It's like, yeah, no, it was to give them money. | ||
| We get it. | ||
| No, it's not that complicated. | ||
| The debit card initiative was designed to allow them. | ||
| No, yeah, you gave them money. | ||
| You know, we understand what giving people money is for so they can buy things. | ||
| We get it. | ||
| We understand. | ||
| It should have never been started. | ||
| It should have never happened. | ||
| And now it's going to feel to them like you're robbing them because you gave them something that they didn't earn and now you're taking it away. | ||
| Maybe this will lead to self-deportations, but it'll probably more likely lead to an uptick in crime. | ||
| But whatever has to happen has to happen, and the money doesn't exist. | ||
| So they all have to go back. | ||
| Meanwhile, big story here from Infowars. | ||
| Feds raid home of popular grocery store owner and Trump supporter Alfie Oaks. | ||
| Feds raided popular grocery store owner Alfie Oaks' home in Florida Thursday. | ||
| Law enforcement, including federal officials, were seen going in and out of the home of Alfie Oaks on Santa Cruz Court in the Villages of Monterey community in North Naples as an agricultural packing plant in Imalaki. | ||
| Federal agents from the Defense Criminal Investigative Service were seen at the packing plant. | ||
| The DCIS investigates case of fraud, bribery, and corruption, including cybercrimes and computer intrusions. | ||
| At the Oaks' home, multiple law enforcement officers were seen coming and going in unmarked cars this morning and afternoon. | ||
| They were going in and out of his home through the garage carrying boxes, including a man wearing an IRS shirt carrying out a computer. | ||
| The Florida Highway Patrol said they're on the scene on Santa Cruz Court securing the area for other agencies. | ||
| Oaks is a conservative political influencer and owner of Oaks Farm and Seed to Table Supermarket. | ||
| He was born in Delaware and grew up in Southwest Florida. | ||
| Recently held a position of Collier County Republican State Committeeman. | ||
| It's unclear why the federal officials and other agencies responded to Oaks' residence at this time. | ||
| Is it confusing? | ||
| Are you confused? | ||
| Are you unsure? | ||
| I know. | ||
| I know why. | ||
| Because he's a Trump supporter. | ||
| It's because he's a Trump supporter and so they're sending the law enforcement after him. | ||
| That's... | ||
| That's what this is about. | ||
| So let's not beat around the bush or pretend we don't know. | ||
| That's what it's about. | ||
| So they're trying to, I guess, just go all out on the tyranny before Trump gets inaugurated in hopes that, I don't know, they can arrest patriotic grocery store owners in some sort of flailing attempt to Stay in power? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know what their reasoning is. | ||
| But obviously, Alfie Oaks' political activities now has him as an enemy of the state and his personal home being assaulted and destroyed by the feds. | ||
| It's... | ||
| Very dangerous time that we're entering into. | ||
| Meanwhile, Federal Reserve cuts interest rates by 25 basis points. | ||
| Fed Chair Powell says he won't step down if Trump asks for his resignation. | ||
| They cut the interest rates by 25 basis points, or 0.25%, on Thursday after President Trump's landslide victory. | ||
| The latest rate cut comes after Fed's slashed rate's 50 basis points in September. | ||
| The benchmark rate is between 4.5% and 4.75%. | ||
| Fed Chairman Jeremy Powell told reporters on Thursday he will not resign his position if Trump asks him to step down. | ||
| And we can show you that video in a little bit, but very interesting... | ||
| Conflict brewing there. | ||
| We'll definitely talk to Daniel McAdams about that and how this contributes to ending the Fed. | ||
| But I see a very interesting conflict happening to brew up right there. | ||
| Meanwhile, our final two stories about crimes you're not allowed to commit. | ||
| FBI investigating slavery texts targeting Austin, Texas residents. | ||
| The racist texts were first reported the day after the election and appeared to come from random numbers. | ||
| I guess people in Austin. | ||
| I haven't gotten one of these. | ||
| Feeling left out. | ||
| The FBI has launched an investigation into reports of racist texts circulating around Austin. | ||
| They say, good morning. | ||
| You have been selected to become a slave at the nearest plantation. | ||
| Please be ready by 12 p.m. | ||
| with all your necessary belongings. | ||
| You will be picked up in a white van with a Trump representative from your area. | ||
| You are going to be searched thoroughly once you have reached your destination. | ||
| You are in slave group A. Well, I mean, if you're going to be in a slave group, you want it to be A, don't you? | ||
| Don't you want that to be A? And yeah, the FBI has put out a statement on this, and it's like, It's like the weirdest statement ever. | ||
| I don't know if the crew can pull it back up. | ||
| Because it's like, there's like a standalone page on the FBI website. | ||
| It's like addressing the racist text messages. | ||
| And it's just, it's like, there are racist text messages. | ||
| The FBI is aware of offensive and racist text messages sent by individuals around the country and is in contact with the Justice Department and other federal authorities on the matter. | ||
| Well, great. | ||
| Is it a crime? | ||
| No. | ||
| No, of course not. | ||
| And I'm just going to go out on a limb here. | ||
| I'm going to go out on a limb. | ||
| For one thing, I doubt we'll ever actually see anything about this ever again. | ||
| I think by tomorrow this will have been completely forgotten. | ||
| That's my first prediction. | ||
| If this is actually taken seriously as, you know, sure. | ||
| Well, whatever. | ||
| Like, well... | ||
| White women get raped by black guys every 30 minutes or so. | ||
| But this is the focus. | ||
| They are going to have to pay attention to this. | ||
| I mean, this is the real crime. | ||
| It's text messages. | ||
| It's words being sent electronically telling you to report to your slave plantation. | ||
| Obviously, this is going to be treated as the biggest threat in America for the time being. | ||
| Here's my guess. | ||
| This was sent by a black guy. | ||
| These are black leftists sending these to other black leftists to create a narrative of racism. | ||
| That's going to be my guess. | ||
| I'm willing to bet a lot of money on this. | ||
| Let me know if there's any takers out there. | ||
| This is just my guess. | ||
| The text reportedly started the day after the election and come from unknown sources. | ||
| Each message varies, but they all appear to ask the recipient to report to a plantation to pick cotton or become a house slave. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Oh, no. | ||
| Oh, gosh. | ||
| I mean, it's just. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, okay, great, great. | ||
| Okay, so there's two possibilities. | ||
| Either, either this is lefty's... | ||
| Just completely fabricating a made-up hate hoax, which is what they do. | ||
| And either we'll never hear that that's actually what happened, because it'll just be quietly dropped. | ||
| They'll figure that out and go, okay, this isn't anything real. | ||
| We'll just shuffle this aside and forget about it. | ||
| In which case, the only thing that people will see is, oh my god, racist text messages, and then they won't hear anything else about it. | ||
| Or it's actually white supremacist pranksters. | ||
| Sending text. | ||
| Either way, who cares? | ||
| Quite frankly. | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| And it's funny that this is like the top story. | ||
| It's... | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Great. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| Racist text messages. | ||
| It's just... | ||
| You think about all of the things happening in America. | ||
| You know where... | ||
| Trolling text messages lies in my list of priority. | ||
| Way, way down there at the bottom. | ||
| But then again, I'm not the ADL-trained FBI, so I imagine their priority list looks a little bit different. | ||
| Meanwhile, anti-Semitic attacks on Israeli soccer fans bring shame on Amsterdam, Mayer says. | ||
| Yes, that's right, folks. | ||
| Israelis are fighting Palestinians, and it's Amsterdam's fault. | ||
| Shame on Amsterdam for this proxy conflict 4,000 miles away from where it's actually taking place. | ||
| Damn you, Amsterdam. | ||
| It's your fault, you damn Dutch. | ||
| It's the Dutch's fault, I imagine, somehow. | ||
| Israeli soccer fans were beaten and injured in violent clashes in Amsterdam overnight which Dutch authorities condemned Friday as anti-Semitic. | ||
| Dutch police said they launched a major investigation into multiple incidents following the Europa League soccer game Thursday night between Israel's Maccabee Tel Aviv and Dutch side Ajax. | ||
| Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halseema said criminals on scooters searched the city in search of Maccabee supporters in hit-and-run attacks. | ||
| This is a terrible moment for our city. | ||
| I'm very ashamed of behavior that was shown last night, she said in a Friday news conference. | ||
| Again, this is actually the worldwide top story. | ||
| If you go on Google News, this is the top story. | ||
| Israel is sending jets to pick these people up. | ||
| They're probably deploying Mossad operatives, how they may be sending a contingent of the IDF to the streets of Amsterdam to protect the Israelis from the anti-Semitic crimes. | ||
| Of course, there is the little, you know... | ||
| The little detail here that it was pro-Palestinian protesters that were approached by and attacked by the Israeli supporters who then were attacked in turn. | ||
| But that's okay. | ||
| But that's okay. | ||
| One video shows a man being kicked while he lies on the ground, while another video shows a man being hit by a man yelling, free Palestine and for the children. | ||
| CNN does not be able to verify these videos. | ||
| Yeah, we have the videos of just before this happened. | ||
| And it's the Israelis trying to tear down the signs and steal the flags of the Palestinians that the whole scuffle kicks off on. | ||
| But ignore that. | ||
| Again, ignore that. | ||
| And it's just these two stories. | ||
| It's like, wouldn't it be... | ||
| Wouldn't it be nice to have, like, our own police force? | ||
| Everybody else gets to have one. | ||
| I just thought these two stories. | ||
| It's like... | ||
| Israelis in the Netherlands get in a fight and it's international news and the Israeli Prime Minister makes a statement and they're sending airplanes to pick them up and there's probably going to be diplomatic repercussions on Netherlands from Israel. | ||
| America's probably on the phone right now, you know, demanding some sort of reparations for this. | ||
| It's good for them. | ||
| One white woman is raped every hour in London, by the way. | ||
| I thought I'd drop that stat in there. | ||
| Every hour in London, a white woman is raped by an immigrant. | ||
| On average. | ||
| Let me be clear. | ||
| I mean, on average, once every hour, every 24 hours, there's 24 rapes. | ||
| In the city of London, of a white woman by an immigrant. | ||
| Just so I thought I'd throw that in there. | ||
| Wouldn't it be nice? | ||
| Wouldn't it be nice to have some representation? | ||
| It just seems a little bit nice. | ||
| It would be nice, I'm saying. | ||
| I'm saying I'm proud of everyone else. | ||
| It's like, you know, black people get sarcastic text messages and it's a national news story and the FBI is on the case. | ||
| And they're probably kicking down the door of telecommunications companies to get to the bottom of that. | ||
| Meanwhile, you have Harvard teaching classes about how white people are genetically evil and have to be eliminated. | ||
| It all seems a little unfair to me. | ||
| It all seems just a little bit unfair. | ||
| I'm happy for you. | ||
| I'm glad that people being sarcastic to you is treated like an international terrorism incident with all the severity. | ||
| Of some sort of mass murder, but it would be nice if actual violence and actual state repression against white Christian people was even talked about, let alone confronted by the authorities. | ||
| It just must be nice. | ||
| Must be nice. | ||
| That's your Daily Dispatch. | ||
| There it is, folks. | ||
| Very happy. | ||
| I'm very happy for all of you. | ||
| You have international police forces making sure nobody is ever rude to you. | ||
| I'm a little bit jealous, I have to admit. | ||
| I think it would be nice. | ||
| Now let's get into politics, shall we? | ||
| Let's get into the results of the election and what brought it about and what's coming next. | ||
| I want to go to a video of Donald Trump. | ||
| This video, I was not prepared for when it happened. | ||
| As I'm watching it, I'm getting more and more excited at a certain point. | ||
| Donald Trump says, truth and reconciliation boards. | ||
| And I just, I had to stop the video and repost it, retweet it. | ||
| I was so thrilled. | ||
| I didn't even realize he was just getting started. | ||
| That wasn't even the best part. | ||
| It just gets better and better. | ||
| Donald Trump has laid out a, what is it, seven-point plan? | ||
| I think to destroy the deep state. | ||
| So here he is, President of the United States, Donald Trump. | ||
| Clip number four, his plan to dismantle the deep state. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
| Here's my plan to dismantle the deep state and reclaim our democracy from Washington corruption. | ||
| Once and for all. | ||
| And corruption it is. | ||
| First, I will immediately reissue my 2020 executive order restoring the president's authority to remove rogue bureaucrats. | ||
| And I will wield that power very aggressively. | ||
| Second, we will clean out all of the corrupt actors in our national security and intelligence apparatus. | ||
| And there are plenty of them. | ||
| The departments and agencies that have been weaponized will be completely overhauled so that faceless bureaucrats will never again be able to target and persecute conservatives, Christians, or the left's political enemies, which they're doing now at a level that nobody can believe even possible. | ||
| Third, we will totally reform FISA courts, which are so corrupt that the judges seemingly do not care when they are lied to In warrant applications, so many judges have seen so many applications that they know were wrong. | ||
| Or at least they must have known. | ||
| They do nothing about it. | ||
| They're lied to. | ||
| Fourth, to expose the hoaxes and abuses of power that have been tearing our country apart, we will establish a truth and reconciliation commission to declassify and publish all documents on deep state spying, censorship, and corruption. | ||
| And there are plenty of them. | ||
| Fifth, we will launch a major crackdown on government leakers who collude with the fake news to deliberately weave false narratives and to subvert our government and our democracy. | ||
| When possible, we will press criminal charges. | ||
| Sixth, we will make every inspector general's office independent and physically separated from the departments they oversee so they do not become the protectors of the deep state. | ||
| Seventh, I will ask Congress to establish an independent auditing system to continually monitor Our intelligence agencies to ensure they are not spying on our citizens or running disinformation campaigns against the American people, or that they are not spying on someone's campaign like they spied on my campaign. | ||
| Eighth, we will continue the effort launched by the Trump administration to move parts of the sprawling federal bureaucracy to new locations outside the Washington swamp. | ||
| Just as I moved the Bureau of Land Management to Colorado, as many as 100,000 government positions could be moved out, and I mean immediately, of Washington to places filled with patriots who love America. | ||
| And they really do love America. | ||
| Ninth, I will work to ban federal bureaucrats from taking jobs at the companies they deal with and that they regulate. | ||
| So they deal with these companies and they regulate these companies and then they want to take jobs from these companies. | ||
| It doesn't work that way. | ||
| Such a public display cannot go on and it's taking place all the time like with Big Pharma. | ||
| Finally, I will push a constitutional amendment to oppose term limits on members of Congress. | ||
| This is how I will shatter the deep state and restore government that is controlled by the people and for the people. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| I think he's going to do it. | ||
| I think he's actually gonna do it. | ||
| Absolutely incredible. | ||
| I mean, it's like better than anything we could hope for. | ||
| He's actually doing it. | ||
| He's actually taking it seriously. | ||
| And I actually believe him. | ||
| That's not the only promise he's making, by the way. | ||
| Let's go now to clip number 19. | ||
| Here's his statement on the rise of transgenderism. | ||
| What are we going to do about it? | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
| Here's my plan to stop the chemical, physical, and emotional mutilation of our youth. | ||
| On day one, I will revoke Joe Biden's cruel policies on so-called gender-affirming care. | ||
| Ridiculous. | ||
| A process that includes giving kids puberty blockers, mutating their physical appearance, and ultimately performing surgery on minor children. | ||
| Can you believe this? | ||
| I will sign a new executive order instructing every federal agency to cease all programs that promote the concept of sex and gender transition at any age. | ||
| I will then ask Congress to permanently stop federal taxpayer dollars from being used to promote or pay for these procedures. | ||
| And pass a law prohibiting child sexual mutilation in all 50 states. | ||
| It'll go very quickly. | ||
| I will declare that any hospital or healthcare provider that participates in the chemical or physical mutilation of minor youth will no longer meet federal health and safety standards for Medicaid and Medicare. | ||
| and will be terminated from the program immediately. | ||
| Furthermore, I will support the creation of a private right of action for victims to sue doctors who have unforgivably performed these procedures on minor children. | ||
| The Department of Justice will investigate Big Pharma and the big hospital networks to determine whether they have deliberately covered up horrific long-term side effects of sex transitions in order to get rich. | ||
| At the expense of vulnerable patients, in this case, very vulnerable. | ||
| We will also investigate whether Big Farmer or others have illegally marketed hormones and puberty blockers, which are in no way licensed or approved for this use. | ||
| My Department of Education will inform states and school districts that if any teacher... | ||
| He's tearing down the deep state. | ||
| He's stopping the mutilation of our children. | ||
| It's all on, folks. | ||
| We're three days in. | ||
| We're back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, the vibe has fully shifted at this point. | |
| You know, the reason why the vibe shift is important and not just as surface level as it sounds is it's giving right-wingers the confidence and courage to do what's right. | ||
| I mean, practically everything wrong in our world is because people who know what needs to happen and know the truth are nice people. | ||
| And they're kowtowed and beaten down and hamstrung by evil people who whine, basically. | ||
| Basically, that's it. | ||
| Just like people that are right and good and want what's best try to do what's right and good and best for the country. | ||
| And they're stopped from doing that. | ||
| By the screeching objection of evil and or stupid lefties. | ||
| I mean, that's the biggest issue we have at this point. | ||
| So being able to get over that, being able to just do what's right and be upfront about it, and we can solve all of these problems. | ||
| So Donald Trump not only lays out his plan to dismantle the deep state, Which is going to be a little bit more difficult, I think, than it sounds. | ||
| But I'll tell you why it's the appropriate way to conduct this. | ||
| Number seven on his list is ask Congress to establish an independent auditing system to continually monitor our intelligence agencies to ensure they are not spying on our citizens or running disinformation campaigns against the American people or that they are not spying on someone's campaign like they spied on my campaign. | ||
| Now, I don't know how that's going to look. | ||
| But essentially the problem that we are facing with the deep state is that there is no oversight that has been usurped from the Congress. | ||
| So you've got black budgets in the CIA, in the NSA, I mean the State Department. | ||
| They've all got black budgets where they can sort of do whatever they want. | ||
| They're spying on Congress. | ||
| They're blackmailing Congress. | ||
| And previously, and we've discussed this over and over, we've laid the history out for you of exactly how this happened, who did it, when they did it. | ||
| The Eagle 2 document and the Council of Five was central to this. | ||
| It was George H.W. Bush, William Lansdale, Colby, Several others got together and decided that they had to get out from under the control of the U.S. Congress in the way that the U.S. Congress wielded control over the intelligence agencies was through the purse strings. | ||
| The intelligence agencies had to go to Congress, say, here's what we want to do. | ||
| Congress had to look at the budget and either approve it or not. | ||
| And that was the control mechanism. | ||
| By running drugs and sex trafficking, the intelligence agencies had their own source of income. | ||
| Their own revenue stream outside of Congress's control, so then they got to do whatever they wanted. | ||
| And so if you want to regain control of the intelligence agencies, you either have to take back that power of the purse strings, which is basically impossible at this point because they have these alternative sources of revenue, so they don't actually need budget from the congressional authority. | ||
| And if you can't do that, then you have to have an alternative auditing oversight system. | ||
| So that's just basically been absent since the 60s. | ||
| Basically, since the 60s, the intelligence agencies have been totally free from oversight. | ||
| I mean, especially any effective oversight whatsoever. | ||
| It doesn't exist. | ||
| Congress has no ability to rein them in. | ||
| They're totally lawless, can act with impunity anywhere in the world. | ||
| And do to cause trouble and overthrow governments and do all sorts of other horrible things. | ||
| And of course, we can't vote for them. | ||
| The only association we have as the people over the intelligence agencies is, I guess, selecting the president, who really just serves as a figurehead at the top of the executive branch, while the national security apparatus beneath him is more or less totally autonomous. | ||
| So, like I said, I think it's going to be a little bit more difficult to rein these things in. | ||
| You might have to go a little bit more severe. | ||
| They're not going to just allow themselves to be subject to audits by Congress, and they're going to do everything they can to remain outside of that purview, in which case they just need to be dismantled and shut down and destroyed. | ||
| The problem is it's, like, impossible to do this in a way that is rapid enough to actually, like... | ||
| When we read the Eagle 2 document and laid out the whole timeline of how all this happened, when it started to come to light through Iran-Contra, what the CIA and other spy state outlets were up to, Bush was placed in charge of the CIA for the explicit purpose of destroying all of the evidence of what they'd been up to. | ||
| And so while Iran-Contra was, you know, blown open by the Dark Alliance-Gary Webb series, most of what they actually got up to was able to be hidden and the evidence destroyed by George H.W. Bush. | ||
| So that's what they're doing right now, if I had to guess. | ||
| If I had to guess, they're like, all right, we got a couple months at least until Trump's in office. | ||
| Let's destroy all of the evidence of all the crap we've been up to because they're going to come after us. | ||
| So in an ideal world, it would be like this was never spoken of until just one day Secret Service agents bust into the FBI, place everybody on lockdown, and just systematically confiscate every piece of documentation in the building. | ||
| That's not really possible right now. | ||
| So... | ||
| I think the best case scenario is you get this congressional auditing committee up and running and you rein in the intelligence agencies and the FBI as much as humanly possible and you punish people that have done what we know they've done, like the signing of the letter about Hunter Biden. | ||
| I mean, basically everybody who signed that letter should probably be in prison. | ||
| Yeah, if you want the full story of how the intelligence agencies actually went rogue, there it is. | ||
| Eagle 2 unearthed top secret document explains how the deep state took over the U.S. government. | ||
| That really lays it out fully. | ||
| Was that the interview with Ian Carroll and I? Because Ian Carroll and I did a breakdown of that as well. | ||
| That was very thorough. | ||
| So, that's how you can learn how they actually went rogue. | ||
| And that's what Trump is trying to... | ||
| Undue. | ||
| It's going to be very difficult for him. | ||
| But they recognize this. | ||
| Like, the deep state recognizes this. | ||
| Short from Washington Times. | ||
| FBI brass stunned and shell-shocked over Donald Trump re-election. | ||
| Again, it's like, you know, it's one of these things where it's like, oh, our supreme intelligence agency had no idea this was coming? | ||
| Hmm, interesting. | ||
| We did somehow. | ||
| No, but they're shell-shocked and stunned. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Like, that's the thing. | ||
| Not only are these people... | ||
| Just evil. | ||
| Just corrupt as you could possibly be. | ||
| They're like dumber than Infowars. | ||
| Like they have less intelligence. | ||
| They know less about what's going on apparently. | ||
| I mean everything they say is lies. | ||
| But just taking them at face value. | ||
| They're constantly being shocked and surprised. | ||
| And wrong about things. | ||
| I mean it's actually worse if they're telling the truth. | ||
| Like We're kind of okay with this because we just know they lie all the time. | ||
| So when they're like, oh my God, we're so shell-shocked. | ||
| It's like, no, you're not. | ||
| You knew this was going to happen to you with better intelligence than us. | ||
| Then they sign a letter saying Hunter Biden's laptop is Russian disinformation. | ||
| It's like we all know. | ||
| It's like, okay, it's not. | ||
| It's not. | ||
| What it is is chock full of evidence of not just Hunter Biden being... | ||
| A despicable cretin, but also bribes being facilitated through Hunter Biden to Joe Biden, who's selling influence in our government. | ||
| Total treason. | ||
| Evidence on that laptop. | ||
| They know that. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| So they're lying about it to try to get people to stop talking about it. | ||
| To provide the big tech agencies... | ||
| The reasonable excuse they need to censor it because they just want to censor it. | ||
| So it's almost like we understand that, right? | ||
| We understand the FBI is chock full of liars, schemers, deceptive manipulators. | ||
| So when they publish a letter saying this has all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation, we know the game they're playing. | ||
| Total deceit. | ||
| In cooperation with the media, in cooperation with big tech, To rig an election. | ||
| We get that, and it's kind of understandable. | ||
| They're a spy state. | ||
| That's what they're doing. | ||
| Wouldn't it be worse if they really thought that laptop was Russian disinformation? | ||
| I mean, that would be really bad, because we all knew it wasn't. | ||
| Everybody in the world knew it wasn't. | ||
| Imagine having an intelligence agency in America that was so stupid and gullible and wrong all the time. | ||
| That would be really bad. | ||
| So it's like the best case scenario here is that they're just horrible, tyrannical, despotic liars. | ||
| That's the best case scenario. | ||
| The worst case scenario is they mean everything they say, in which case our intelligence agencies are run by absolute incompetent retards. | ||
| And that's worse. | ||
| That would be really not good. | ||
| But we know that's not true. | ||
| We know that's not true. | ||
| No, they're just liars. | ||
| But you know what I'm saying? | ||
| Do you see what I'm saying, though? | ||
| That if we had intelligence agencies that actually genuinely believed that the Hunter Biden laptop was rushing to this information, that would really not be good. | ||
| That would really, really not be good. | ||
| FBI Director Christopher Wray and Deputy Director Paul Abate have little chance of remaining at the Bureau by the time Mr. | ||
| Trump is sworn into office, sources say. | ||
| FBI employees also recall when Mr. | ||
| Trump fired former FBI Director James B. Comey in 2017, five months after the president was sworn in. | ||
| It's a countdown for Wray because people here don't think he will stay to get fired after what Trump did to Comey, the first source said. | ||
| Trump will say, yeah, fire his ass, don't let him take the plane home. | ||
| A reference to Mr. | ||
| Comey finding out about his termination while flying to California on the Bureau's airplane. | ||
| Mr. | ||
| Trump appointed Mr. | ||
| Wray as FBI director in 2017 after firing Comey. | ||
| The director's term is for 10 years, but serving a full term depends on gaining the confidence of the president. | ||
| Others on the 7th floor of the FBI are so concerned about their own jobs that they're likely to flood the Washington, D.C. private security job market, sources say. | ||
| According to the sources, no one in the FBI at GS-14 level or higher is safer from losing their job after Mr. | ||
| Trump is sworn in, and they fully expect the president to smash the place to pieces when he gets in and that it will be a bloodbath. | ||
| Well, good. | ||
| Well, I think that's good. | ||
| Former FBI whistleblower George Hill told the Washington Times that people in the agency say the current state of the FBI is frazzled. | ||
| Well, they're very frazzled. | ||
| Now, what they're doing is they're frantically running around destroying the evidence of their corruption before it can be exposed. | ||
| And I'm sad that they get that opportunity. | ||
| And I got to say, again, with so much of this, It is not enough that they lose their jobs. | ||
| Let's just be perfectly clear. | ||
| They are caught. | ||
| They have been caught. | ||
| And this is the analogy I've just used over and over and over again. | ||
| It's like you got a murder case and you got a video of the murder and you got the subject, you got the suspect on video. | ||
| You got the knife where he threw it in the bushes. | ||
| You got the DNA evidence. | ||
| He's admitted it on camera in the interrogation. | ||
| We've got his fingerprints all over the scene. | ||
| We've got a letter he wrote before the murder saying, I'm going to murder this person. | ||
| And for like 10 years, cops are sitting there going, we just need a little bit more. | ||
| If we could just investigate this a little bit more. | ||
| And it's like the time has long since passed for prosecution. | ||
| Long, long ago, we had more than enough evidence beyond any reasonable or unreasonable doubt that they are guilty of the crimes for which they've been suspected. | ||
| So, it's time to punish them. | ||
| That's the phase that we're at now. | ||
| Conviction and punishment is the only thing left to do. | ||
| They're on video in places like the World Economic Forum bragging about this. | ||
| Well, the FBI, the Chris Wray video. | ||
| Guys, see if you can pull in the Chris Wray video where he is talking about the way that the FBI and, you know, spy agencies and private corporations are really meshing together and working hand in hand to oppose myths and disinformation, the greatest threat to our democracy. | ||
| It's like, okay, that's the admission. | ||
| That's the equivalent of the murderer in the interrogation room going, you got me, I did it. | ||
| I stabbed her in the chest five times. | ||
| It's like, we got him. | ||
| We got him. | ||
| So now it's time for conviction and punishment. | ||
| That's all. | ||
| There's no more investigation needs to be done. | ||
| No more figuring out who's involved in what we know. | ||
| We know, we know, we know, we know. | ||
| So punish them. | ||
| Put them in prison. | ||
| And thing is, it's not just about, it's like, not only are these people an existential threat to the country, they carry out false flag attacks, they rig elections, they say that, you know, they fabricate white supremacist crimes in order to justify their discriminatory investigations, like they're bad people that have injured and killed and manipulated. | ||
| Millions. | ||
| So, it's time for them to go to jail. | ||
| Not only do these people need to just be punished for the sake of justice, and that's a good enough reason by itself, but you gotta send a message to anybody else that would do this later. | ||
| Next time, you know, there's some retired CIA agent gets a call. | ||
| Hey, would you be interested in putting your name on this letter? | ||
| There's this laptop that has a ton of information. | ||
| Horrible information about the sitting president. | ||
| We want to really bury it, but big tech needs us to come up with an excuse. | ||
| Will you sign this letter? | ||
| We need the person who receives that call to go, you think I'm going to spend the last 20 years of my life in Rikers? | ||
| I don't think so, buddy. | ||
| Click. | ||
| That's what needs to happen. | ||
| So, you need to punish people that did it for the sake of justice. | ||
| You need to set the precedent that you aren't going to get away with this and all of your privilege and all of your authority and all of your high living is going to be stripped away from you and you will spend the rest of your life in a concrete fart box as a total disgrace to your name. | ||
| So, if you want to hug your children ever again, get in line. | ||
| But there's another third Point that is maybe the most important, and that is that you threaten a guy with 50 years in prison for treason, and maybe he's willing to open up a little bit and tell us who exactly was orchestrating all of this, who exactly started this little scheme that they started running, why they thought they could get away with it, who their contacts were in foreign governments that were providing the information that they were relying on. | ||
| It's not an option for us. | ||
| It's not a question of whether this is the right thing to do or not. | ||
| It is an imperative. | ||
| If we want this country to continue, that the people who have systematically destroyed it from within be punished for the sake of justice, be made an example of for future generations, and put massive pressure on so that we can fully root out and tear up by the roots the corruption that is strangling us. | ||
| Let's do it. | ||
| Let's just do it. | ||
| Let's go to that video of Chris Wray. | ||
| This is Chris Wray. | ||
| He is at the World Economic Forum, right? | ||
| Yeah, bragging about how this is just policy now, and they're happy about this, and they're open about it. | ||
| And this will make us more like Europe, because the First Amendment is a barrier to our control. | ||
| And so we get around that by cooperating and working hand-in-hand, hand-in-glove with the corporations at big tech. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||

I think the sophistication of the private sector is improving, and particularly important, the level of collaboration between the private sector and the government, especially the FBI, has, I think, made significant strides. | |
| Pretty much every technology we could talk about today, we see both great opportunity but great dangers in the wrong hand. | ||
| Great opportunity. | ||
| Really a lot of collaboration between the private sector and the government, especially when the FBI has made significant strides in using the private sector to carry out our despotic and tyrannical and unconstitutional anti-free speech activity. | ||
| Okay, so... | ||
| So I'm not going to be happy if that dude gets to walk his daughter down the aisle, okay? | ||
| That's not something that somebody like that deserves to be able to do, so... | ||
| Throw him in jail. | ||
| Throw him in jail. | ||
| Throw Comey in jail for all of this. | ||
| And again, I think that's the intention. | ||
| One of the other things Trump said was about a crackdown on government leakers who collude with fake news to deliberately weave false narratives and to subvert our government and democracy. | ||
| Again, exactly what Comey got caught doing, sending information to sources in the New York Times about unconfirmed, salacious gossip, but it was coming from the FBI, so it was treated like the gospel truth. | ||
| So they can't do that anymore. | ||
| It's not allowed anymore. | ||
| It's against the rules, and it has to be punished severely. | ||
| And we're going to talk about this, I'm sure, with Daniel McAdams in the third hour, but there is a big and powerful and important and necessary movement to stop Trump from selecting the deep state swamp creature scumbag rat people like Mike Pompeo into his new This is the type of person | ||
| that needs to be as far away as humanly possible from any levers of power, let alone undermining Donald Trump's agenda from within. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||

What Donald Trump is facing, and is it right to charge him? | |
| Brian, good morning. | ||
| Great to be with you. | ||
| Two things I think are both true at this point. | ||
| First, if the allegations are true, and there's lots of indications that they are, President Trump had classified documents where he shouldn't have had them, and then when given the opportunity to return them, he chose not to do that for whatever reason. | ||
| That's just—Brian, you talked about me having classified documents. | ||
| I handled thousands and thousands of them over my time in Congress and then as a CIA Director and Secretary of State. | ||
| So— That document case has been dropped, by the way. | ||
| The DOJ officially is not even pursuing that anymore. | ||
| In an attempt to, like, be like, oh, never mind. | ||
| Oh, sorry. | ||
| Forget about we ever did that. | ||
| No, Jack Smith needs to go to prison, too. | ||
| Merrick Garland needs to go to prison, too. | ||
| I mean, all of this is they were subverting and undermining the very basic foundations of our country. | ||
| It's like the worst crime somebody in these offices could commit. | ||
| And Mike Pompeo is there. | ||
| You know, cheering it along, celebrating it, and giving it justification. | ||
| Because after all, this is Trump's Secretary of State. | ||
| This is Mike Pompeo. | ||
| I mean, it makes sense that Trump's enemies would say that, but here his allies are saying it. | ||
| It must be true, right? | ||
| So giving like a really, really a lot of weight to these now proven to be totally fabricated and fake charges. | ||
| And so I ask you again, is Mike Pompeo not aware that these charges were fake? | ||
| Do you think he got fooled? | ||
| Okay, that's worse. | ||
| Again, that's worse. | ||
| We knew they were fake. | ||
| We knew they were bullcrap. | ||
| You're telling me that the Secretary of State, CIA director, didn't know that this was bull crap, but we did somehow? | ||
| Now, proven right? | ||
| Because DOJ's dropped the cases and they didn't go anywhere and it was all totally fabricated and fake. | ||
| So, it's like, okay, choice is that he's lying and deceiving and against Trump and providing fodder and justification, facilitating the actions of his enemies. | ||
| Or he's dumb enough to believe the lies in the mainstream media when... | ||
| Some dude in a studio in Austin figured it out better than him. | ||
| Like, that's really bad. | ||
| Both of those options. | ||
| Very, very bad. | ||
| But it wasn't just that he was giving credence and justification to these outrageous and Completely politicized charges. | ||
| He was laughing at Trump for having his home invaded by the FBI. And again, a totally outrageous and totally unconstitutional and transparently oppressive and threatening move by the FBI. Let's go to the next video, clip number 10. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What is President Trump up to? | |
| So the question is, what's President Trump up to? | ||
| He's down in Mar-a-Lago watching the FBI raid his arm. | ||
| I mean, what happened there is outrageous. | ||
| No one gets to keep classified information outside of the place classified information should be. | ||
| That is certainly true. | ||
| Secretary of State, former Secretary of State doesn't get to keep it. | ||
| No one does. | ||
| But for the Department of Justice to behave the way they did, by raiding the home of a former president, is absolutely outrageous. | ||
| And it is politicizing the Department of Justice that I fear is in a way that is not consistent with the understandings that we all have of the rule of law here in the United States. | ||
| It sounded like he was saying it was outrageous what they did. | ||
| But he also justified it, didn't he? | ||
| Oh, but, you know, you can't take... | ||
| Classified documents? | ||
| That's outrageous. | ||
| Joking about Donald Trump having his home raided by the FBI. Where's Trump? | ||
| He's probably at home watching his house get raided by the FBI. I mean, that's outrageous and wrong, but I am laughing at it. | ||
| Keep him away, Trump. | ||

All the black people voting for Trump have one major thing in common. | |
| No education. | ||
| No higher education whatsoever. | ||
| Not completed. | ||
| And... | ||
| Well, you're already starting this video off wrong. | ||
| I just voted for Trump and I have a degree in finance. | ||
| And I got my degree in finance while playing football at the school you support. | ||
| But I'm gonna let you continue. | ||
| And, you know, education ain't everything, but it's a lot. | ||
| Coming from someone who has an education, it's overrated. | ||
| In many cases, it is highly overrated. | ||
| But anyway, she was saying... | ||
| Ask a black man why he's voting for Trump and he gonna say something dumb like... | ||
| He's helping the economy, but when you ask him to expand, like that's the end of it. | ||
| He's helping the economy. | ||
| How? | ||
| How? | ||
| And they can't say nothing else. | ||
| Well, I'm glad you asked. | ||
| There are a multitude of ways he helps the economy. | ||
| One way is by decreasing regulation. | ||
| The less regulation you have, the more businesses can actually produce. | ||
| Meaning they're not paying as much money for regulatory burdens. | ||
| They're not waiting on the regulators to stamp a bunch of paperwork that could take them weeks at a time. | ||
| Nor are they paying the same amount of fees and penalties from regulators. | ||
| So he wants to decrease regulation. | ||
| He wants to increase our oil and gas production. | ||
| Here are some things that require oil and gas in their production. | ||
| Or they have petroleum in their base materials. | ||
| Plastic water bottles, toothbrushes, clothing, chewing gum, detergents, deodorant, lip balm, makeup, plastic bags, sunglasses, candles, dish soap, tires, shampoo, credit cards, hand lotion, electrical cords, eyeglass lenses, furniture upholstery, medical supplies. | ||
| This isn't even talking about vehicle manufacturing or home construction. | ||
| The vehicles, you have the plastic components, you have the tires, you have the paint and coatings, you have the fuel and lubricants, you have the foams and upholstery, you've got electronics. | ||
| All of those use petroleum in some way or have petrochemicals. | ||
| When it comes to home construction, you've got insulation, piping, roofing materials, paints and varnishes, flooring, windows and doors, structural adhesives, appliances and electronics. | ||
| So the higher oil and gases, the more expensive those things are. | ||
| Now, that's not even including the oil and gas it takes to actually physically get the material to the plant or to the location where they're building the house. | ||
| They use oil and gas to produce it. | ||
| They use oil and gas to power the factories that produce these products. | ||
| Then they use oil and gas to move these products to their end location to where they can actually be put together and create a product. | ||
| But when he talks about deregulation and drastically increasing our oil and gas output, yeah, that's going to help the economy. | ||
| We will be more productive and things will be cheaper. | ||
| Now let's talk about something a lot of people don't talk about. | ||
| The global supply chain. | ||
| Under Trump there was peace. | ||
| Russia wasn't invading Ukraine and we didn't have the conflicts going on in the Middle East that we do today. | ||
| The Houthis were not attacking shipping lanes. | ||
| The Russians and these organizations in the Middle East I could smell Biden and Harris' weakness, which is why they've been acting the way they've been acting. | ||
| So due to this administration's weakness, there are global shipping routes that are now compromised. | ||
| There are wars being fought in different parts of the world. | ||
| 10% of global commerce goes through the Suez Canal. | ||
| The way into the Suez Canal is through the Red Sea. | ||
| Just so you're aware, this here's the Red Sea, okay? | ||
| Go up through here, and then the Suez Canal is here. | ||
| So when an organization is launching rockets at ships that try to go through the Red Sea, these commercial ships will then avoid the Red Sea and have to go around. | ||
| And when I say around, I mean around all of Africa, which drastically increases the cost for shipping. | ||
| Which then increases your everyday cost of goods. | ||
| Not to mention Trump wants to lower the corporate tax rate, which incentivizes businesses from around the world to have their businesses in the U.S. And it disincentivizes U.S. businesses to go abroad to get lower tax rates. | ||
| That is good for the U.S. economy. | ||
| It keeps businesses here and it invites businesses to come here. | ||
| It's always so interesting to me how Black women will come out in the public and just degrade Black men. | ||
| They act as if they're superior, they're better, they're smarter. | ||
| The degradation towards Black men is just oozing out of that video. | ||
| So then she receives a comment on that video and makes a video in response to that comment. | ||
| Here's that comment. | ||
| This individual said to her, can we hear why you're voting for Kamala and what she did for the economy? | ||
| Other than it's a Black female and also likes ratchet music. | ||
| Come on now. | ||
| So she was asked about Kamala and the economy. | ||
| She then responds with a four-minute video talking about Trump and how evil and racist and bigoted and bad Trump is. | ||
| She's making fun of Black men for not being able to articulate Trump and the economy, but then when she's asked about Kamala and the economy, she can't articulate it. | ||
| She literally spends four minutes not talking about the economy. | ||
| Why are you voting for Kamala? | ||
| And she starts talking about Trump. | ||
| Again, that is their number one play. | ||
| It's not to talk about good policy. | ||
| It's to fearmonger about Donald Trump. | ||
| They know the American people's lives have not gotten better under their leadership, so they have to fearmonger about Trump being an evil, orange, racist boogeyman. | ||
| It's crazy because, again, she tries to make fun of black men not being able to articulate positions on the economy and Trump. | ||
| Really a response, libtards destroyed. | ||
| More on the other side. | ||
| Stay with us. | ||

Welcome back, folks. | |
| Second hour is on here at the American Journal. | ||
| We got... | ||
| Actually, this is kind of a good transition away from what we were just talking about, which we're going to get into. | ||
| Because this article from the Washington Times about the FBI freaking out about Trump's victory ends with this... | ||
| with these couple of paragraphs. | ||
| Additionally, many on the seventh floor of the FBI are concerned about billionaire tech executive Elon Musk, owner of X and Tesla, being brought into the Trump administration as head of Government Efficiency Commission. | ||
| When he tries to do efficiency at headquarters, the place is going to have five people. | ||
| If he's talking about a lot of dead weight, a second FBI source says, try to find a person that's actually working, the source said. | ||
| That may be the biggest problem there, that there's no efficiency. | ||
| So that's actually the bigger threat. | ||
| If you're going to make the government efficient, you would start with the FBI because if you do politics all the time, you're probably bloated. | ||
| FBI agents spent much of their time during the Biden administration seeking out, investigating, and arresting January 6th defendants whom Mr. | ||
| Trump has pledged to pardon at the beginning of a second term. | ||
| A third FBI source said some bureau personnel who are tired of the January 6th investigations are amused at the fact that Trump likely pardons everyone involved in January 6th. | ||
| FBI agents spent much of their time during the Biden administration seeking out, investigating, and arresting January 6th defendants who were peaceful protesters. | ||
| 99% of them didn't even lay hands on anybody. | ||
| Certainly didn't kill anybody. | ||
| That was about $20 worth of damage to the Capitol. | ||
| And for the past four years, Basically, the entirety of the FBI has been hyper-focused on systematically hunting down and arresting grandparents from Arkansas for walking through an open door and high-fiving a police officer. | ||
| It's like when we say that the FBI is like the modern Gestapo, That was an FBI source telling you that the FBI agents themselves are sick of it because for the last four years, their number one priority has been hunting down innocent, lawful, peaceful Americans. | ||
| Like, that's what they do. | ||
| That is their primary concern. | ||
| That is their number one priority. | ||
| Not stopping crime, not stopping criminal aliens, not stopping sex trafficking rings. | ||
| People got moved off of child sex trafficking investigations and put on white supremacy detail in order to fabricate white supremacist crimes by labeling random crimes as if they're hate, according to the ADL. So, like, the FBI exists solely and completely to punish nonconformity with the establishment. | ||
| It exists to hunt out, root out, and send to jail for decades peaceful American dissidents. | ||
| The real enemy within is the literal Gestapo KGB Oppression police that the FBI have turned into. | ||
| And this, I thought, this might be one of those brilliant posts I've ever seen in my entire life. | ||
| It's about January 6th. | ||
| And I just can't say how much I appreciate this. | ||
| Someone named Deb posted a picture of the Electoral College map. | ||
| And asks, how can the total number of voters be less this year than there were in 2020, after we've had the biggest turnout than ever before? | ||
| Demand a recount and an investigation. | ||
| Hashtag do not concede, Kamala. | ||
| And so Vineland at Gaze Windward responds this way. | ||
| Well, I suppose you could try to make a case in court, but, you know, since the states haven't certified the elections, it might be difficult to establish standing. | ||
| After the certification, you might have standing, but unfortunately, a court cannot overrule the act of the legislature. | ||
| You could potentially try to gather a slate of alternative electors, but Congress is under no obligation to accept them. | ||
| At that point, you'd probably have to appeal to the Supreme Court, but that's tough since they don't want to be in the business of deciding elections. | ||
| Then all that's really left is good old-fashioned right of assembly and redress of grievances, i.e. | ||
| a march. | ||
| January 6th is when the VP certifies the election officially, and that's probably the time you want to aim to achieve maximum public impact. | ||
| Good luck! | ||
| This is brilliant. | ||
| This is brilliant. | ||
| Laying out the case. | ||
| It's literally what happened in 2020. | ||
| Try to do it through the court, now you don't have standing. | ||
| Well, can we do it after the certification? | ||
| Well, now because then the legislators decided the court can't overrule. | ||
| Okay, can we do alternative electors? | ||
| Yeah, but we're going to call that terrorism. | ||
| Actually send people to jail for even discussing that possibility. | ||
| Also, Congress will reject them outright. | ||
| Okay, should we go to the Supreme Court? | ||
| Well, they're going to reject John Standing also. | ||
| They don't want to be involved in it. | ||
| So you're left with no choice. | ||
| You're left with no other options. | ||
| But to peacefully assemble and attempt to demand that your Congress do the right thing and not certify the election. | ||
| And at that point, the DC police will shoot you in the face with a flashbang. | ||
| And if you try to fight back, they'll throw you in jail for 20 years for terrorism. | ||
| So that's the world you created. | ||
| And just, you should be thanking your lucky stars, or honestly, you should be on your hands and knees kissing our feet, that we're not the vengeful, vindictive, scheming types that you are. | ||
| You know, we probably should be. | ||
| Even though we're getting more in that direction, actually. | ||
| Actually, you're teaching us, and we're learning. | ||
| And that spells very, very bad news for you. | ||
| So maybe you should have thought about that a little bit. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| Maybe you should have thought about that just a touch. | ||
| And you know, it's funny. | ||
| you There's so many different, you know, comments saying, you know, you'll notice, you know, this smug condescending, like, you'll notice that the Democrats aren't crying fraud and claiming election fraud and demanding a recount. | ||
| We are very, you know, selflessly accepting the results of the election. | ||
| And you think about that and you go, well, why would I care if you called fraud? | ||
| You should investigate. | ||
| I think there still was fraud and I think the election should be investigated. | ||
| We won the election and I still want a recount. | ||
| We won the election and I still want the results investigated and confirmed through certification. | ||
| And you just think like, okay, why would I not want that? | ||
| The only reason you wouldn't want that is because you're cheating. | ||
| They try to throw this in your face like, see, we are accepting because we believe in democracy. | ||
| It's like, no, the only reason you are opposed to questioning the election is because you cheated. | ||
| If you don't cheat, there's no threat of investigating the election. | ||
| So yeah, object all you want. | ||
| You should. | ||
| We won the election. | ||
| I still want an investigation because I think you got more votes than you deserve anyway. | ||
| I think you're trying to flip the House votes. | ||
| House seats as we speak. | ||
| So it's one of those things. | ||
| Everybody should have realized this. | ||
| From the very beginning, it's not all that complicated. | ||
| It's not some occult knowledge I'm sharing with you here. | ||
| If one side is treating it like terrorism to question the election, it's because they cheated. | ||
| It's the only reason you would have that response. | ||
| Let's look at some lefties, shall we? | ||
| This video has gone totally viral, but it's just worth it to watch and to enjoy and to mock. | ||
| Let's go to clip number 8 here. | ||
| And I love this because I'm going to tell you right now, right off the bat, you should know something up front if you're watching this show. | ||
| I have... | ||
| No education in any of this. | ||
| I want to be perfectly clear. | ||
| I've never been trained in anything ever. | ||
| I'm not an expert. | ||
| I'm not certified. | ||
| Nobody has given me a diploma at all. | ||
| I'm a total amateur. | ||
| I'm right about everything, by the way. | ||
| I want to make that clear. | ||
| I'm never wrong, but I'm not a professional political analyst that has been certified by any sort of certification program whatsoever. | ||
| I want to make that clear because this person you're about to hear from has, okay? | ||
| This person you're about to hear condescendingly has. | ||
| You know, flex on Trump supporters. | ||
| This is a political analyst, a professional political analyst, okay? | ||
| So you're supposed to listen to her. | ||
| This video is put up on Election Day. | ||
| Flip number eight, let's watch. | ||

|
Okay, so... | |
| We're closing in on almost 5 p.m. | ||
| Eastern Time, and I've been tracking everything that's been going on across the country today. | ||
| And my most important encounter was when I went out to get my champagne. | ||
| I was talking to the guy in the store, of course, asking him, did he vote? | ||
| And he said he did early voting, and he asked me if I early voted. | ||
| And he asked me, you know, Why I was getting the champagne. | ||
| And I said, because I'm going to be toasting Madam President tonight. | ||
| And he just looked at me with kind of like a smirk on his face. | ||
| And I said, you know, she's going to win this, right? | ||
| And he says, oh, well, it's very, very close. | ||
| And I said, no, it's not. | ||
| He says, well, what do you mean? | ||
| I said, no, it's not. | ||
| The women of America are making their voices heard. | ||
| Reproductive rights is what it all comes down to. | ||
| And the women are voting in numbers relative to men. | ||
| That are unbelievable. | ||
| She's won this. | ||
| And I said to him, she's going to take every one of the swing states plus Iowa. | ||
| And he said, oh, but the numbers are so close. | ||
| I said, I'm a political analyst. | ||
| I'm telling you right now. | ||
| The numbers are there. | ||
| She's taking this election. | ||
| And I said to him, you realize, and he didn't tell me who he voted for, but of course I knew. | ||
| And I said, you do realize you wasted your vote, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I didn't care. | ||
| And I walked out with my bottle of champagne and happily walked home. | ||
| Bye-bye. | ||
| How'd that champagne taste? | ||
| you How'd that champagne taste? | ||
| Did it turn to ash in your mouth, you witch? | ||
| I just love when people condescendingly flex their... | ||
| Their labels. | ||
| When they're just completely wrong. | ||
| I'm a political analyst, sweetie. | ||
| I'm sure it's just some... | ||
| I'm sure it's just some dude at the 7-Eleven like... | ||

|
Okay, $7.99 then. | |
| Pay for your gas station champagne. | ||
| Go home to your empty house. | ||
| Enjoy being wrong about everything. | ||
| And it wasn't just her, of course, I guarantee you. | ||
| She has spent the last three days crying. | ||
| But so has former comedian Jimmy Kimmel. | ||
| Let's go to clip number seven. | ||
| He offers a tearful lecture after Trump's big win. | ||
| He's very sad. | ||
| He's just thinking about all of the women. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||

|
Let's be honest, it was a terrible night last night. | |
| It was a terrible night for women, for children, for the hundreds of thousands of hard-working immigrants who make this country go, for healthcare, for our climate, for science. | ||
| For journalism, for justice, for free speech. | ||
| It was a terrible night for poor people, for the middle class, for seniors who rely on Social Security, for our allies in Ukraine, for NATO, for the truth of NATO. Won't somebody please think of the NATO? And it was a terrible night for everyone who voted against him, and guess what? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was a bad night for everyone who voted for him, too. | |
| You just don't realize it yet. | ||
| Here's the good news. | ||
| It was a great night for the majority of the country. | ||
| Because we won. | ||
| There's more of us than you. | ||
| He starts getting choked up over NATO. The poor innocent military alliance. | ||
| What are they going to do? | ||
|

|
What are they going to do? | |
| Can we deport him? | ||
| I bet we can deport him. | ||
| These people, again, you know, they just live in delusion. | ||
| They're just utterly deluded. | ||
| And I guess mocking them is the only thing to do. | ||
| I mean, what are you supposed to actually try to talk to that person? | ||
| I don't, you know. | ||
| We've tried, we've tried, we've tried, we've tried. | ||
| Talking is over. | ||
| We are done talking. | ||
| The information war has been won. | ||
| It's time to just do. | ||
| Try and just do the stuff that we're supposed to do. | ||
| Let's go to clip number three here because really, I mean, the liberals, they're not learning their lesson. | ||
| They're not learning their lesson. | ||
| So like a dog that refuses to be house trained, we have to rub their faces in it. | ||
| Let's go to clip number three. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The rhetoric got heated everywhere. | |
| You got pretty heated, Anthony, at that time. | ||
| Joe, how did I get heated? | ||
| What did I say, Joe? | ||
| About Trump? | ||
| What did I say? | ||
| I repeated what he was saying. | ||
| I said, this is wrong. | ||
| Come on, Joe. | ||
| I've had an utter disdain for Trump. | ||
| You'll always be welcome at the table of legacy media and have people nodding as you trash Trump. | ||
| That's always going to happen. | ||
| But aren't you the slightest bit embarrassed or at least humbled about how wrong you were about the feeling of most Americans? | ||
| Let me finish. | ||
| And for enthusiastically supporting a candidate who a majority of people thought had no business being anywhere near the Oval Office, and you're a Republican, and you saw that all the different policies that she was talking about are anathema to what you thought your whole life, and yet you went along with it. | ||
| Do you ever eat any crow, or not even a little crow, like a little cape on? | ||
| I mean, Michael Avenatti could still be on TV trashing Trump. | ||
| You'll always find a place on TV. If he wasn't in prison, he'd still be on CNN running for president with Brian Stelter. | ||
| Just give me a little bit, a little bit, Anthony, about how wrong you were. | ||
| Joe, first of all, I immediately put out a congratulatory tweet. | ||
| They won, we lost. | ||
| In the immortal words of Barry Diller when he lost a Paramount deal. | ||
| Next, Joe, what would you like me to do? | ||
| Do you want me to get on bended knee before you? | ||
| No, I thought you were going to start that. | ||
| That's not even what America is about, Joe. | ||
| We have a violent disagreement about lots of things related to Trump's personality. | ||
| You like Trump. | ||
| I was up close to Trump. | ||
| I got to see the ugliest of what he is. | ||
| And by the way, Joe, it's not just me. | ||
| There were 40 of us that worked for the president that warned people. | ||
| I think he's been very good for your career, Anthony. | ||
| He's been incredibly good. | ||
| You're here, are you not? | ||
| And you're going to be welcome anywhere you want to go. | ||
| I think he's been very good for you. | ||
| And you'll be able to live off this for another four years. | ||
| Joe, why don't you calm down a second, Joe? | ||
| We know each other a long time. | ||
| Are you saying that you and I can't disagree on somebody's personality? | ||
| Is that what you're saying? | ||
| And you're saying what I'm saying in terms of identifying those features and traits of the personality, you don't see those two, but you're choosing to ignore them? | ||
| I guess 75 million people looked at everything you looked at and decided that there were other things that... | ||
| But there were 67 million people that didn't, Joe. | ||
| That's what makes America, Joe. | ||
| That's what makes America a joke. | ||
| But you're saying to me that stuff that I was saying wasn't factually true. | ||
| If somebody's saying they're going to use the American military to go after their political adversaries, and I say, geez, that sounds very un-American to somebody like me. | ||
| Is that what he said? | ||
| Is that what he's going to do? | ||
| They're not going to eat crow. | ||
| They're not going to admit they're wrong. | ||
| Again, it's like we have to stop asking them to. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| Can we get over that and just understand like when somebody lies to you over and over and over, when they're wrong over and over and over, and they refuse to admit it, and they refuse to be humbled, and they refuse to be contrite, offer any sort of contrition whatsoever, like they're your enemy. | ||
| They're your enemy and have to be crushed. | ||
| Sucks. | ||
| Yeah, it would be great. | ||
| Yeah, it'd be great, Scaramucci, if we lived in an America where people could peacefully disagree and that would be the end of it. | ||
| But that requires humility on your part. | ||
| That requires that when you're wrong, you not persist with the delusion. | ||
| Okay, so that's your end of the bargain, is that you have to admit you're wrong and And ask for forgiveness. | ||
| It's like, they just want to lie to your face, and then when they're proved wrong, just be like, oh, well now you're, so now you're mad at me for being a liar? | ||
| Now I'm the hurt one. | ||
| They're acting like they're the hurt ones because we discovered their lies. | ||
| Now the first step is to go, look, I was wrong. | ||
| I was out of step with the American people. | ||
| I was wrong about what I believe to be the case. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I wasn't meaning to lie. | ||
| I wasn't meaning to deceive. | ||
| I wasn't meaning to mislead you. | ||
| And if I did that on accident, I have some lessons to learn. | ||
| And I'll try to do better next time. | ||
| Until you do that, you're just still a liar. | ||
| So, why should we ever trust you on anything ever again? | ||
| I mean, this really is not a difficult concept. | ||
| Children understand this, you know. | ||
| They do. | ||
| And we'll go to some more clips here. | ||
| Scott Jennings has been going to town on CNN. It's going on to clip number 16. | ||
| Here's Scott Jennings on the whole Never Trumper industry. | ||
| Bang up job. | ||
| I mean, this Never Trump whole complex that grew over the last several years Nothing has ever failed as hard in politics as this. | ||
| The Lincoln Project, all these people that built millions upon millions upon millions of dollars from Democratic donors, and all the eggs that was put in this basket. | ||
| The split was amazing. | ||
| Trump got like 94% of Republicans. | ||
| I don't think they accomplished anything except probably build a bunch of beach houses. | ||
| That's about what they did. | ||
| Republicans being lectured to, condescended to, browbeaten by all these folks over the last... | ||
| I mean, look, at some juncture, it's okay if we have different opinions about the election. | ||
| You don't have to beat people to death over it. | ||
| And the more you do that, the more it drives people away. | ||
| Total failure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So I think we gotta... | |
| But I think that if you... | ||
|
unidentified
|
But actually, I think if we really look at the... | |
| No, no. | ||
| Stop. | ||
| Calm down. | ||
| Relax. | ||
| You lost. | ||
| You lost resoundingly. | ||
| You lost embarrassingly. | ||
| Everybody knows you're liars. | ||
| You should be embarrassed. | ||
| You should be shamed. | ||
| You are a walking font of shame. | ||
| We are all ashamed of you. | ||
| You need to be shamed of yourself. | ||
| Please show some humility, show some contrition. | ||
| You lost utterly and not because you fought a good fight and just couldn't close the deal. | ||
| No, you were resoundingly rejected across the board because you are deliberate liars. | ||
| And everybody knows it, and everybody sees it, and everybody wants you to go away forever. | ||
| So do that. | ||
| Do that so we don't have to do it for you. | ||
| A little humility would go a long way. | ||
| We're going to show you more videos of this. | ||
| Scott Jennings, I mean, he's just been on a tear. | ||
| You thought that was bad? | ||
| Him saying, quote, nothing has ever failed this hard in American politics. | ||
| Absolutely true. | ||
| Nothing has ever failed this hard. | ||
| As hard as the Republican Never Trumper movement. | ||
| They thought getting Dick Cheney's daughter to the Democrats would sway Republican voters. | ||
| You are so out of step, it is embarrassing. | ||
| You should be embarrassed. | ||
|

|
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | |
| Day three of the new age. | ||
| The dawning of the age of being unapologetically correct. | ||
| I'm sorry, more and more videos are dropping They all show a similar trajectory, a similar pattern, a similar response from the left. | ||
| Not that it's unexpected, but there's something a little different about it this time. | ||
| There really is. | ||
| They're not going to make it to Inauguration Day. | ||
| They're not. | ||
| They're already exhausted. | ||
| They're already tired. | ||
| The people that are freaking out. | ||
| They've been freaking out for three days. | ||
| It's not gonna last. | ||
| It's not gonna last. | ||
| They're not gonna be able to keep it up. | ||
| And honestly, it should play into Trump's strategy to retain the initiative in this regard. | ||
| Keep them freaking out if they can. | ||
| They're not gonna be able to keep it up. | ||
| They're not gonna be able to handle it. | ||
| And I said this when it came to deportations. | ||
| And Trump has said that there was a question yesterday about the price tag. | ||
| And he's like, look, it's not a matter of price tag. | ||
| We have to do it. | ||
| We have to do it. | ||
| It's like, well, what's the price tag of heart surgery? | ||
| It's like, well, I don't want to die, so I'll pay whatever it is. | ||
| So this is just a necessary procedure. | ||
| The cost is irrelevant. | ||
| Plus, it's going to be a lot cheaper to deport them than to keep them here. | ||
| So it's a savings anyway. | ||
| Regardless, when it comes to deportations, They're going to freak out. | ||
| They're going to be loud about it. | ||
| And so one way to deal with that would be to start off slow and small, knowing that they're going to freak out and just going, what, we're deporting criminals? | ||
| You're really freaking out about us deporting criminals back to where they came from? | ||
| That's one way to do it. | ||
| I would actually go the opposite way. | ||
| I would actually just launch a full-fledged, gigantic, aggressive deportation campaign Raiding the shelters. | ||
| Big buses. | ||
| Get all the prison buses in the state. | ||
| Just start shipping them back. | ||
| Just make it a big spectacle. | ||
| Embrace the fact that they're going to freak out. | ||
| Give them something to freak out about. | ||
| Then, you know, after like a month or so, you can go, yeah, you know, we heard you. | ||
| That might have been a little much. | ||
| We'll take it back a little bit. | ||
| And then you... | ||
| You curtail it back to the level that you really wanted it at in the first place. | ||
| So I think you go overboard at the beginning. | ||
| I think you really give them something to freak out about, and as they're freaking out about that, you hit them with the next thing. | ||
| And as they're freaking out about that, you hit them with the next thing. | ||
| And as they're freaking out about that, you go back to the first thing, you hit them with that again. | ||
| I mean, just do it. | ||
| Just do it, do it, do it, do it, do it. | ||
| And that's what it seems like the plan is at this point. | ||
| And I'm all for it. | ||
| I'm completely in favor of it. | ||
| There's nothing wrong with this. | ||
| And I think Republicans are on board. | ||
| I mean, I know it. | ||
| I know 100% Republicans are on board. | ||
| And we talked about this yesterday. | ||
| The right shift that occurred, the shift to the right, every demographic save college educated women and 65 plus rich people. | ||
| Everybody else shifted to the right. | ||
| Everybody else voted for Trump who had moved significantly farther right than 2016 or 2020. | ||
| So there is absolutely no legitimate reason to temper the message or the movement at all whatsoever. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| At all. | ||
| They're going to screech. | ||
| We know that. | ||
| If you try to do it with kid gloves and as nicely as possible and politely and just minimize any aggravation at all, they're still going to freak out. | ||
| So just do it. | ||
| Just do it. | ||
| It's fine. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| We'll go to clip number two now. | ||
| Scott Jennings, again, this was posted saying he's just toying with the libs at this point. | ||
| But they haven't learned their lesson. | ||
| They won't shut up. | ||
| They can't admit they're wrong. | ||
| Rub their faces in it. | ||
| Clip number two. | ||
| If you look at the arc of the Biden presidency, he was in really good shape until August of 2021. | ||
| When Afghanistan happened, he went under 40, she went under 40, and they really lived there until the end of the press. | ||
| He's still there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| I'll tell you why. | ||
| Because he ran and told us that the adults were back in charge, and that was the opposite of that. | ||
| Yeah, they were, because Donald Trump was a child. | ||
| And you know what else? | ||
| And you know what else? | ||
| The fact that they wouldn't give these 13 service members' families the time of day. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm sorry, but Donald Trump hates veterans. | |
| He called them suckers and losers. | ||
| He did. | ||
| He absolutely, despite, he has his whole life, he has his entire life. | ||
| I know you're super emotional. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course I am. | |
| I'm terrified. | ||
| I'm telling you the political reality is that when they made that decision, It doesn't matter. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You don't admit it. | |
| You deny a man, Chief John Kelly, a Marine. | ||
| You say he lied. | ||
| You say he lied. | ||
| It's not over. | ||
| It'll never be over. | ||
| It'll never be over. | ||
| You wish. | ||
| The political reality is when they made that decision and everyone realized, oh my gosh, these aren't the competent adults that we were promised. | ||
| And then when you pile on top of it, the decisions that made inflation worse, it was a compounding interest of political crap over time that they could never get out of. | ||
| And that's how she lost the room. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There was a bipartisan consensus to get out of Afghanistan. | |
| That wasn't the point. | ||
| It was the way it was done. | ||
| No, no, hold on. | ||
| It was the implementation. | ||
| It was the fact that they took out our soldiers first instead of last, which you would think would be common sense. | ||
| And again, it's like you said, we thought the adults were in the room. | ||
| That's why people voted for Biden, a return to normalcy, a return to competence. | ||
| He's a lifelong public servant. | ||
| We thought we're going to get normal, we're going to get competent. | ||
| And that's what it felt. | ||
| We did. | ||
| And the veterans community... | ||
| Afghanistan doesn't signal that. | ||
| The wars in Afghanistan, the war in Iraq, the Republican policies that led to those wars, the idea that Joe Biden made the final difficult decision in his administration and his military leaders. | ||
| I mean, you guys live on the tippy-top of bullshit mountain if you actually think that That so many people think that the pull out of Afghanistan was the pivot point? | ||
| Are you kidding me? | ||
| I mean, I can read a chart and I can read a poll. | ||
| I guess you can't. | ||
| But the reality is when he made that decision... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Your petty insults are so weak, dude. | |
| You have no idea. | ||
| Like, I don't even understand if you hear yourself talking. | ||
| You can laugh all you want, but like, I can't read a chart. | ||
| It's so un-interesting and un-convincing. | ||
| The reason that we brought this up is because... | ||
| That was from a Democratic... | ||
| I'm telling you, they're like children. | ||
| They really are like little children. | ||
| He's like, well, why did no one like Biden? | ||
| It's like, well, I can explain it to you. | ||
| Here's when it happened. | ||
| Here's the chart. | ||
| See, he was actually improving. | ||
| And then Afghanistan happened and he went below 40 and he never got above 40 again. | ||
| And there's like, no, no, no, that's not what happened. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And it's just like, just stop. | |
| Just stop talking to them. | ||
| Just stop talking to them. | ||
| They have no humility. | ||
| They've refused to humble themselves. | ||
| And it's like, it's fine. | ||
| It's fine. | ||
| Let them do this. | ||
| Let them destroy themselves. | ||
| But again, I think Republicans, again, I know. | ||
| I know Republicans are coming around my way of thinking. | ||
| Clip number 14, Laura Ingram. | ||
| She's getting a very good signal. | ||
| Out of all this noise, very good signal that Laura Ingram is talking to Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, and jumps on him immediately for simply using the... | ||
| Orwellian doublespeak terms that the leftists have seeded into our national consciousness. | ||
| In this case, it's Mike Johnson using the term comprehensive immigration reform. | ||
| She's like, no, no, no, no, stop, stop, stop. | ||
| And that's the thing. | ||
| That's what we need. | ||
| All of this doublespeak, all of these weasel words. | ||
| You know what I realized? | ||
| I forgot about this. | ||
| I thought about this last night. | ||
| I need some sort of, I think, a jack-in-the-box. | ||
| I think I need a jack-in-the-box with a weasel. | ||
| We need to identify weasel words. | ||
| This is something everybody needs to be aware of. | ||
| The weasel words. | ||
| The words that they... | ||
| Drop in that change the entire meaning of statements, but they still sound good. | ||
| This is what we're dealing with. | ||
| Comprehensive immigration reform is just a weasel word. | ||
| It's a way of saying something so you don't have to say what you actually mean. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| We're done with all that. | ||
| We're done with all that. | ||
| We don't want to hear comprehensive immigration reform. | ||
| We want to hear deportations because that's a word with a meaning that we can identify. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Comprehensive immigration reform, that means anything. | ||
| That means amnesty. | ||
| That means opening the border in the case of the Democrats. | ||
| That was their comprehensive immigration reform. | ||
| So these words don't mean anything. | ||
| We've got to stop using them. | ||
| The word we want to use is deportation. | ||
| What we want the Congress to do is not comprehensive immigration reform or Whatever other terms they use. | ||
| We want them to stop the flow of immigrants into our country and get the ones that are here out. | ||
| That's the English language being used in a way that has meaning behind it, not weasel words. | ||
| So let's go to clip number 14. | ||
| Again, I love this. | ||
| I love the knee-jerk, reflexive reaction from Laura Ingraham. | ||
| Just be like, don't even use that phrase. | ||
| Tell me what you're actually going to do. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
| I don't pay much attention to what Nancy Pelosi says anymore. | ||
| She's not in power and she won't be for a long time now. | ||
| I think we've got a mandate from the American people. | ||
| I was delighted to be with President Trump and the whole team in Palm Beach last night. | ||
| It was such a great celebration into the wee hours of the morning. | ||
| People are excited. | ||
| We're exhausted from the campaign, but we are exhilarated about the days ahead. | ||
| The majority of the people in this country want to restore common sense. | ||
| They want secure borders. | ||
| They want They want a robust energy policy. | ||
| They want a free market that thrives and creates more jobs and better economic opportunities for more people. | ||
| We can deliver all that. | ||
| We know how to do it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But President-Elect Trump... | |
| That's the first time I've said that, I realize. | ||
| President-Elect Trump can do a lot just by executive order. | ||
| But I do understand from my sources that they want laws passed. | ||
| They don't want an executive order that can just be thrown away in four years or eight years. | ||
| They want permanent change. | ||
| Can't ask for asylum inside the country. | ||
| Can't play the game where you come here and say, oh, I'm oppressed, and you get to stay. | ||
| He's even talked about the birthright citizenship issue, which obviously is more problematic because of the Constitution. | ||
| That would require more thinking and study, but he doesn't want to just do the executive orders. | ||
| Is that what your understanding is as well? | ||
| Yes, and our agenda is to enact this into law. | ||
| We need real, comprehensive immigration reform. | ||
| We've needed it for a long time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That sounds like amnesty. | |
| Every time I've heard a Republican say that, it's like, earn path to citizenship, then we have 20 million people who get their citizenship overnight. | ||
| Every time I hear that, it drives me crazy, but you can explain it. | ||
| No, we want to do the opposite of amnesty. | ||
| If you do an amnesty program, you invite more people to violate the law. | ||
| That's exactly the opposite of what we need to do. | ||
| We've got to begin on day one with securing the border. | ||
| President Trump will issue an executive order. | ||
| He has that authority under existing statutory law. | ||
| But we've got to come right behind him with a robust legislative agenda. | ||
| We have got to do this for the American people. | ||
| Secure the border. | ||
| And then turn to the catastrophe that's been created by the border being opened. | ||
| I don't even like him saying secure the border. | ||
| We can take it down. | ||
| Again, this is what we need. | ||
| We need pressure on congressmen, pressure on senators to go, don't you tell me you're going to have comprehensive immigration reform. | ||
| Don't use those words at me. | ||
| Insult my intelligence. | ||
| Tell me what you're going to do. | ||
| Reaffirm your commitment to Donald Trump's policies. | ||
| Are you going to get in the way again like you did the first time? | ||
| Because we will vote your ass out of office immediately. | ||
| They need to know. | ||
| They really need to be told. | ||
| I don't even like border security. | ||
| That's what Kamala Harris and Alejandro Mayorkas used to justify the CBP1 app. | ||
| Because it's when illegal immigrants are trying to cross the border and we have to stop them. | ||
| That's what makes it unsafe. | ||
| It's very safe for them to walk through the gate that we're holding open and get into the van that we provide for them and bring them deeper into the country. | ||
| That's very secure to them. | ||
| That's safety to them. | ||
| That's managing the chaos according to them. | ||
| So I don't want to talk about border security. | ||
| I want to talk about a closed border where nobody is allowed to cross it illegally. | ||
| Not cross it safely, which is what they mean when they say border safety or border security. | ||
| So we're done with the words. | ||
| We're done with these stupid words that don't mean anything. | ||
| We want actual meaning and we want actual commitment to support Trump's policies. | ||
| Not vague weasel words. | ||
| And again, it's not just Republicans and Republicans. | ||
| News anchors like Laura Ingraham that are getting this clip number 22. | ||
| This is Trump's lawyer Mike Davis firing warning shots at New York Attorney General Letitia James. | ||
| Letitia James came out. | ||
| And we should really do a whole show on her because it's just when you see her videos from her campaign where she's talking about, I'm going to throw Trump in prison because... | ||
| I'm, you know, make me AG and I'll investigate everything he's ever done and I'll find something to throw him in prison. | ||
| I'm not even really paraphrasing. | ||
| Like, she actually said those words. | ||
| She actually said, like, make me AG, I'll investigate his business dealings, I'll investigate his property, I'll investigate his communications. | ||
| Like, okay, so she needs to be in jail, okay? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But aside from that, she's very scared of being held accountable for this. | ||
| And immediately after the election, she came out with another statement. | ||
| Basically, again, threatening to go after him because that is her priority and that's her only concern at this point. | ||
| Well, Mike Davis, Trump's lawyer, has some interesting words for her. | ||
| Let's watch clip 22. | ||
| Let me just say this to Big Tish James, the New York Attorney General. | ||
| Big Tish. | ||
| I dare you. | ||
| I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against President Trump in his second term, because listen here, sweetheart, we're not messing around this time, and we will put your fat ass in prison for conspiracy against rights, and I promise you that. | ||
| So think long and hard before you want to violate President Trump's Bravo. | ||
| I applaud you. | ||
| We've been warning people on the show, Mike, this isn't the same Trump administration. | ||
| Stop messing around. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Don't rig elections. | |
| Don't illegally vote. | ||
| Don't try the funny business because we know the team this time and they are not effing around. | ||
| Finally. | ||
| Finally. | ||
| How long has it been that these people have been just utterly lawless, violating every right they can get their hands on, distorting and perverting every position they hold, | ||
| annoying the hell out of all of us, Finally, somebody with some position in authority, somebody with some power, finally saying what needs to be said. | ||
| Do your job. | ||
| Stop destroying people's rights or you're going to prison. | ||
| And that's the thing, man. | ||
| These people are cowards. | ||
| These people are cowards. | ||
| These people are... | ||
| Like, they're not really rebels. | ||
| You know this. | ||
| You know who the real rebels are. | ||
| It's me. | ||
| It's Alex Jones. | ||
| It's Owen Troyer. | ||
| It's Steve Bannon. | ||
| It's Stuart Rhodes. | ||
| It's Joe Biggs. | ||
| It's people that are in prison right now because they stood up for what they believed in, going against the grain, doing what's hard, doing what's necessary but not easy, with no support, with no encouragement from the authorities. | ||
| These people depend and rely on and only act With the knowledge of or with the thought that they are going to get away with it. | ||
| The instant you push back on them, they will fold like a house of cards. | ||
| That's what I mean by like high pressure, constant, aggressive action. | ||
| You have the governor of Massachusetts. | ||
| Going up there and saying, I will protect my immigrant residents from Trump's ice. | ||
| They only do this because they know the media will celebrate them, because they know the billionaires will fund lawyers to argue for them, that people that have been planted in Trump's office will advise him, well, you know, it could look really bad if you go after this. | ||
| We don't want to make anybody mad. | ||
| If they had an ounce of pushback, They would fold. | ||
| They would collapse. | ||
| They would fail. | ||
| Now, Leticia James might be a little bit different. | ||
| There are some people that are in a position where they have to do this because they have committed crimes already. | ||
| They have violated people's rights already. | ||
| So for them, it's like, wow, I gotta double down. | ||
| I gotta keep going. | ||
| I gotta fight this with everything I've got because if I... Retreat. | ||
| If I lose, if I surrender, I'm going to jail. | ||
| So they don't really have a choice. | ||
| They have to fight. | ||
| And those types of people, you say, hey, look, you don't want to go to jail? | ||
| You got to start talking, lady. | ||
| You got to start giving us the information that we need. | ||
| Just like you round up any mafia. | ||
| Any mafia, it's the same. | ||
| It's the same. | ||
| It's the same. | ||
| So these people are only able to do this because they think they're totally protected from any consequence whatsoever. | ||
| Subject them to consequences and they'll surrender. | ||
| They're full. | ||
| They'll give up. | ||
| Same thing with this, right? | ||
| Governor Newsom calls special legislative session to, quote, fight Trump. | ||
| These are the pro-democracy people. | ||
| The guy that just won the popular vote. | ||
| They're organizing to oppose with everything they've got. | ||
| California is ready to fight, Newsom said. | ||
| I just called an emergency special session to help bolster our legal resources and protect our state against any unlawful actions by the incoming Trump administration. | ||
| You know, just... | ||
| Trump's got to do it. | ||
| He's just got to do it. | ||
| He's just got to do all this stuff. | ||
| Anybody that tries to stand up against him just needs to be dealt with. | ||
| It'll stop. | ||
| It'll stop before he's even inaugurated. | ||
| They will not be able to continue this so-called resistance at all. | ||
| Now, when it comes to how we got here, What caused the massive shift right? | ||
| Why we feel so righteously indignant and want aggressive action against you people, you absolute dirtbags. | ||
| It's not all that complicated, especially when it comes to white guys, young white men, the backbone of this country. | ||
| We got a lot of people talking about this, right? | ||
| And this might be just the best example of how this typically goes. | ||
| We've got this woman, Molly Flynn, with a communist symbol next to her name, which should be treated like a swastika at this point. | ||
| Quote, I've been bombarded with death and rape threats from thousands of Nazis due to targeted harassment tweet from the fascist Andy Ngo. | ||
| I've been bombarded? | ||
| I've been attacked? | ||
| And Anne Deneau responds, all I did was repost your public statement. | ||
| Here's what she said. | ||
| If you know a MAGA Republican Nazi, hurt them, punch them, fight them, harm them, make them hurt. | ||
| It's because they're Nazis, they're awful human beings, and they deserve to be killed. | ||
| So she comes out and says, if you know somebody that voted for Trump, kill them. | ||
| And people are like, wow. | ||
| You communist idiot, try it. | ||
| And she's just like, help, help, they're attacking me. | ||
| That's like... | ||
| And they wonder. | ||
| And they wonder why we hate them. | ||
| And why they're being treated the way that they are. | ||
| If there's no introspection, if there's no shame, if there's no, like, okay. | ||
| The right-wing radicalization of high school and college-age men is truly one of the biggest crises in the U.S. And it goes nearly completely unaddressed. | ||
| Really, because you won't shut up about it. | ||
| We're sick of hearing about it. | ||
| We're sick of explaining why it is only to have you keep doing that thing. | ||
| Blackstar on X says, I want to make this very clear. | ||
| Young men have nothing. | ||
| Literally, we have nothing. | ||
| No future prospects. | ||
| Most don't have skills. | ||
| Most don't have partners. | ||
| All for reasons outside of our control. | ||
| All we had was our hobbies and we couldn't even be left alone to have that. | ||
| So you've done this. | ||
| You've created this. | ||
| And for all these years, all our lives from every institution, every piece of pop culture, the message has been beaten into us that we are the root of evil and that we're irredeemable and privileged. | ||
| The only escape was pop culture of the past, where we weren't hated, but even there we had no refuge. | ||
| And now we're given the opportunity, finally, many of us for the first time to think maybe, just maybe, get a future, get peace, and you tell us that we're radicalized? | ||
| Well, most men are really radicalized. | ||
| Really low maintenance. | ||
| We really don't need much at all. | ||
| Just a hug now and then, a hobby, a challenge, and to be left alone for most of the time. | ||
| And that's more than enough for the mass majority of men. | ||
| But apparently that was too much to ask for. | ||
| So you had to come in and destroy all of our hobbies and destroy everything that we liked and take it over and tell us that it was bad and we're wrong for liking it in the first place. | ||
| us, we're the only group that you're allowed to discriminate against, we're the only group that constantly being demonized and villainized despite the fact that we are the opposite of everything, we're the least likely group to be racist, we're the least likely group to be criminals, we're just the least likely to be any of the things that you claim we are the supreme representative of. | ||
| So we're sick of it. | ||
| We're not taking it anymore. | ||
| And I encourage you, keep pushing, keep pushing. | ||
| See what happens. | ||
| See what happens. | ||
| Because Donald Trump, you have to understand this, you should have understood in 2016, is your way out, people. | ||
| The communists, the scumbags, the socialists out there. | ||
| You have to be praying with everything you've got that Trump is able to turn this around because he is the release valve. | ||
| He's the pressure release. | ||
| He is the way that we fix this without young men doing what they're capable of and what we really want to do, actually. | ||
| So take this opportunity, morons. | ||
| Embrace Trump and understand that this is your escape hatch from the reality that you are creating with your every word and your constant demonization. | ||
| And your overt hatred of young white men. | ||
| So accept what Trump is doing. | ||
| Go along with it. | ||
| Admit you were wrong. | ||
| Show some contrition. | ||
| We're happy. | ||
| We're happy to move forward without being demonized, without being hated, without causing violence. | ||
| Or you can go crazy for another four years. | ||
| Or you can be just as insane and insufferable as you have been. | ||
| And next time it won't be Trump. | ||
| It'll be somebody a hell of a lot less friendly and reasonable and understanding than Trump. | ||
| This is your way out, socialists. | ||
| This is your way out, communists. | ||
| Think about it very carefully. | ||
| We're getting sick of it. | ||
| This is what most Americans innocently put into their bodies these days and, most alarmingly, into the bodies of their children. | ||
| And it's no coincidence that Americans die earlier than Canadians or Germans or Italians or Japanese or Koreans or Australians or most any other comparable country. | ||
| And it wasn't always that way. | ||
| Until the early 1990s, our life expectancy was the same or better than other developed countries. | ||
| Then, suddenly, more and more Americans began suffering from chronic diseases, from obesity, cancer, diabetes, kidney disease, Alzheimer's, heart disease, and all kinds of autoimmune diseases. | ||
| Our maternal mortality rate soared to the highest of any developed country on Earth. | ||
| Same with infant mortality. | ||
| Like the frog and the slowly boiling water, we didn't really notice as we got sicker and sicker. | ||
| We've grown now to accept chronic disease conditions as normal. | ||
| But now, in 2024, we're finally waking up to this cataclysm and we're asking ourselves, how in the world did this happen? | ||
| A big part of it is our diet. | ||
| Restaurants that serve contaminated food are fined or shut down. | ||
| But when it's the government that approves the poisons in our food, a few people get very, very rich, and the toxins end up in every supermarket aisle. | ||
| Let me show you what I mean. | ||
| Doritos, Cheez-Its, Cap'n Crunch, gummy bears. | ||
| Everyone knows that these are junk foods, so maybe you wouldn't be too surprised to see that the ingredients include a lot of poisons, including a harmful yellow dye called tatrazine, or yellow dye number five. | ||
| What you may not know is that this dye was originally made out of this sludge that's left over when you turn coal into coke for blast furnaces. | ||
| It's called coal tar and I've actually sued many big industries for legacy contamination of coal tar all around the country because it's so toxic and it's so harmful to the environment and human beings. | ||
| A century ago it was just an obnoxious industrial by-product that everybody was trying to figure out ways to get rid of. | ||
| One of the ways that they did that was by paving roads. | ||
| But then a British chemist figured out that the coal tar could be used to derive fabric dye. | ||
| And if fabric dye, why not food? | ||
| Food manufacturers began using it to cover up the discoloration of low-quality foods that they wanted to pass off on unsuspecting customers. | ||
| They didn't know back then that this yellow dye, tartrazine, causes tumors, asthma, developmental delays, neurological damage, ADD, ADHD. Hormone disruption, gene damage, anxiety, depression, intestinal injuries. | ||
| Well, we know it now. | ||
| We've known this for decades. | ||
| That's why tartrazine is heavily restricted in other countries. | ||
| In some countries, foods with tartrazine have a warning label that it may cause ADHD in children. | ||
| Today it's made from petroleum, not coal tar. | ||
| Either way, it's crazy to add this to your kids' favorite foods. | ||
| It doesn't even change the flavor. | ||
| This yellow dye isn't just in junk food. | ||
| It's in the foods that we consider healthy. | ||
| It's in everyday kids' snacks like popcorn, mac and cheese. | ||
| Fruit snacks. | ||
| It's in sports drinks, like Gatorade, and so-called vitamin water. | ||
| It's even added to chicken broth, to corn, to pickles, to mustard, and to yogurt. | ||
| And so, of course, our kids get sick. | ||
| And we lovingly feed them chewable vitamins, which have, surprise, tartrazine. | ||
| And so the cycle continues until the coughs and asthma kick in, at which point you go to pick up some cough syrup. | ||
| And yeah, you guessed it. | ||
| Tartrazine. | ||
| I've been picking on tartrazine today, but that's just one of at least 100 chemical poisons that our health agencies allow into our children's food. | ||
| I can make a video just like this to talk about Red 40, BHA, BHT, potassium bromate. | ||
| Chemical after chemical and on and on and on. | ||
| If just one of them can cause all of these problems, imagine what they're doing in combination. | ||
| That's never been studied. | ||
| If we took all of these chemicals out, our nation would get healthier immediately. | ||
| We'd have fewer sick days. | ||
| We'd have better focus. | ||
| All right, folks, so that's a video from RFK Jr. | ||
| Donald Trump has been elected. | ||
| He was elected three days ago. | ||
| We're already calling out the poisons that are in our food supply. | ||
| The combination of personalities that have started to orbit around Trump at the very end of the campaign is really something to behold. | ||
| And I'm very happy to be joined in the next segment by Daniel McAdams. | ||
| He's the executive director of the Ron Paul Institute. | ||
| Of course, Ron Paul is another one who, there at the very end of the campaign, was welcomed with open arms. | ||
| That's a very exciting thing. | ||
| Very excited to talk to Daniel McAdams on the other side. | ||
| Stay with us. | ||
| Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| This is the American Journal. | ||
| Third hour is on. | ||
| I'm your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
| Infowars.com, band.video. | ||
| Support us at Infowarsstore.com. | ||
| I'm so happy to welcome my guest, Daniel McAdams. | ||
| He is the executive director of the Ron Paul Institute and co-host of the Ron Paul Liberty Report. | ||
| He previously served as the Foreign Affairs, Civil Liberties, and Defense Intel Policy Advisor to U.S. Congressman Ron Paul from 2001 until Dr. | ||
| Paul's retirement in 2012. | ||
| You can follow him on x at Daniel L. McAdams, and you've got to include the L because You're not easy to find on X, Mr. | ||
| McAdams. | ||
| They have you very, very difficult to find. | ||
| You have to spell it exactly right. | ||
| Daniel L. McAdams. | ||
| And, of course, the website is ronpaulinstitute.org. | ||
| Welcome to the show, sir. | ||

|
Thanks for having me on, Harrison. | |
| It's great to join you. | ||
| It's absolutely my pleasure. | ||
| And of course, I invited you on before the election. | ||
| So I wasn't sure how this conversation was going to go. | ||
| This was going to be how do we deal with what's happened or how do we celebrate what's happened? | ||
| What are your feelings about the election, how it went, how it's going, what we've seen from Trump so far? | ||
| How are you feeling about this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, one of the things I'm actually quite surprised about is that it went off without a hitch. | |
| You know, I mean, I stocked up on whiskey and God knows what for election night because I was expecting to go to bed like I did in 2020 and wake up in a whole different world occurred in the morning. | ||
| And so I was actually, I sort of had a weird feeling that it wouldn't be like we feared. | ||
| But they're talking about they shut down D.C. They put up plywood. | ||
| It's going to be a civil war. | ||
| Everyone is terrified and cowering. | ||
| Now, maybe that's part of the PSYOP. But I was surprised at how smoothly, with some exceptions, but generally how smoothly the election went and how easily the announcement of Trump's victory. | ||
| And in fact, it almost made me suspicious because it almost went too smoothly. | ||
| But yeah, it was, I would say, not a surprise that Trump won. | ||
| But then after 2020, who knows what to expect? | ||
| Who knew what to expect? | ||
| I'm right there with you. | ||
| Even after we were celebrating and drinking champagne, I was driving home at around midnight on election night going, oh man, I hope we're not getting too comfortable here. | ||
| This doesn't feel right. | ||
| They're going to do something. | ||
| But hey, it went off. | ||
| It's happened. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| I'm just so happy. | ||
| And I'm so happy to see the people that have gathered around Trump I'm not sure if you've seen it. | ||
| The fact that they screwed him over in 2020, in my opinion, allowed him to build this coalition with Elon Musk and RFK Jr. | ||
| and Ron Paul there at the very end, you know, getting in on this, talking about ending the Fed. | ||
| I think they really screwed themselves over and have set Trump up to be in such a better position to get his agenda done. | ||
| It really seems like a miracle of sorts. | ||
| Do you think the talk about ending the Fed is real? | ||
| I mean, what do you think is really going to happen here? | ||
| And how did Ron Paul respond to being called back into the game one final time? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, he's not necessarily back into the game, but it was a very gracious offer. | |
| From Elon Musk to Dr. | ||
| Paul to say, hey, you know, we wouldn't mind hearing some of your thoughts on government efficiency and getting rid of and cutting this $2 trillion that Musk talked about. | ||
| You know, so that's, of course, that's nice. | ||
| And you're talking about coalitions. | ||
| I mean, Trump had a great coalition. | ||
| You know, Kamala's people were all these brain dead pop stars and ridiculously washed up actors. | ||
| Nobody cares what they have to say. | ||
| You know, and to his credit, I mean, Trump assembled some interesting people, some people with diverse views, people that weren't, you know, sort of Trumpites, you know, four years ago or eight years ago, people like Tulsi Gabbard and R.K. Jr., Elon Musk, you know, on and on, Joe Rogan. | ||
| He was able to appeal to them. | ||
| And I think a lot of it is just sort of Biden, you know, fatigue. | ||
| You know, I think for me, I'm happy that Trump won. | ||
| I wanted Trump to win, and I hope that he's able to do some of the things, but I have no illusions. | ||
| Even if he's completely sincere, it's going to be a hell of a job for him to get any of these things done, because he's fighting a Leviathan that hates his guts and will do anything to stop him, as we've seen, however. | ||
| But my happiness and my glee was seeing a knife-stabbed, metaphorically of course, in the heart of Bidenism, of Kamalaism, of this gang of thugs that's run roughshod over our country for the last four years. | ||
| You know, completely destroyed our civil liberties. | ||
| And despite being, claiming that they're for joy, actually spreading hate throughout the country. | ||
| So I'm happy they lost. | ||
| That's what I'm happiest about. | ||
| Me too. | ||
| And it seems like the final nail in the coffin of the Uniparty because they actually thought it was a good idea to bring on the Cheneys and the Rumsfelds and they even went for the Bushes there at the end for the Democrats. | ||
| I mean... | ||
| Are they stuck in the past? | ||
| I mean, what explains this? | ||
| To me, that was another great vindication of, like, we've been telling you these people are on the same side the whole time. | ||
| They finally just came out and said it, and they were resoundingly rejected by the American people. | ||
| That is such an amazing thing. | ||
| I never expected to see that in my lifetime. | ||
|

Well, what I was amazed at is the reaction and I'm very pleased about the reaction of African-American males when basically Obama came out and said, hey, you better vote for Kamala or you hate women and you aren't really black. | |
| I mean, it's sort of an extension of what Biden said the first time around. | ||
| If you don't vote for me, you ain't black. | ||
| I mean, it's so absolutely insulting. | ||
| And I was watching with glee so many of these videos that were made by black men saying, you don't have my vote. | ||
| You don't own my vote. | ||
| You know, how insulting to think that I'm going to be on your reservation. | ||
| And hey, look at the record, record percentage of African-American males voting for Trump, of Hispanic males voting for Trump. | ||
| It's astonishing. | ||
| That's a massive shift. | ||
| It absolutely is. | ||
| And of course, it... | ||
| It does just make me think of Ron Paul and peace is popular. | ||
| Prosperity is popular. | ||
| That's what people want. | ||
| They don't want the division. | ||
| They don't want the games they play with race or gender. | ||
| We're sick of that. | ||
| I think everybody's sick of it except for a very small contingent, obviously not the majority. | ||
| They did not win the presidency on this, but that's what they banked on. | ||
| I mean, this is a great thing. | ||
| But there's an interesting evolution, maybe, that libertarianism is going through here. | ||
| And of course, it's yourself and Ron Paul as sort of bulwarks and flag bearers for the libertarian movement. | ||
| How do you feel about what's happening with libertarianism right now and the way that they're sort of working with the Trump government a little bit more, willing to at least, going a little bit more mainstream, at the same time kind of Embracing government a little bit more than they used to? | ||
| I feel like libertarianism itself is sort of going through a transformation right now. | ||
| What's your take on the trajectory here? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think we got a lot of flack, obviously, when Dr. | |
| Paul was friendly to Elon Musk for this reaching out. | ||
| Oh, Ron Paul's selling out. | ||
| What do they have on you? | ||
| This sort of thing. | ||
| What they don't understand is this has been Ron Paul's modus operandi for 40 or 50 years. | ||
| Which is that we're not going to get everything we want necessarily, but we're willing to work with people who are moving in the right direction and to encourage them. | ||
| And this is something he did on Capitol Hill for years and years. | ||
| You know, I worked for him for 12 years on the Hill. | ||
| I mean, at the time, it was the stupid Iraq war, which Trump, to his credit, I think toward the end of the campaign said these dumb Middle East wars. | ||
| He was right. | ||
| So, Ron Paul reached out to progressives. | ||
| We had a great coalition of conservatives, libertarian-leaning conservatives, progressives, and we built a great coalition to challenge the war. | ||
| We worked with Denis Kucinich. | ||
| So, you know, we don't have this kind of litmus test where everything has to be, like, absolutely perfect. | ||
| But if we're moving in the right direction, Well, then, you know, that's a good step. | ||
| And that's why he would vote in favor of, you know, maybe some bills that would cut spending in the right direction that didn't have all of our sort of wish list of things. | ||
| So I think for, at least for Dr. | ||
| Paul, I think this is a logical progression. | ||
| But I do see, and I think you're right, there has been, and certainly when you talk about the Libertarian Party, I mean, there was a definite move. | ||
| Among very, very high visibility libertarians, big L libertarians in the US to back Trump. | ||
| I'm not sure I completely know why or understand it. | ||
| Maybe it was a tactical decision, but I think that's something that's very real. | ||
| Now, I agree. | ||
| And just speaking personally, like I've always considered myself a libertarian. | ||
| And to me, that just means like liberty is the highest goal, the highest thing you're striving for, the thing you value really more than anything else. | ||
| And it sort of defines good and bad, right? | ||
| With liberty on one side and slavery on the other. | ||
| And you... | ||
| You sort of judge policy or anything else on that metric. | ||
| But you sort of realize like, okay, if there's no peace, if there's crime everywhere, if I'm being taxed to death, it's like I'm not free. | ||
| You can't be free without peace. | ||
| You can't be free. | ||
| And actually, I have this... | ||
| This exchange that went on that I'd love to get your take on because I think it points to the real meaning of liberty. | ||
| It's a woman, a liberal woman. | ||
| She says, my mother in New York keeps trying to help me. | ||
| She tells me to go for a walk, go outside. | ||
| She's depressed, right? | ||
| She says, where am I supposed to go? | ||
| Wherever I go, my brain. | ||
| I have no hope for the future. | ||
| I don't want to feel like this for the next four years. | ||
| She's just depressed and miserable because Trump won. | ||
| Somebody says... | ||
| Go to a playground where the children are enjoying the swings and slides and joyfully laughing. | ||
| And she responds, sadly, the closest playground to me has been taken over by homeless people addicted to fentanyl. | ||
| And it's not safe for me to be anywhere near there. | ||
| Right? | ||
| So it's like, okay, if your park is filled with homeless drug addicts that are going to attack you, you're not free. | ||
| If I'm not free to walk to my park, I'm not free. | ||
| So you got to have order so you can have peace so you can have liberty. | ||
| And I feel like Like it's, I've had to sort of like re-engineer, like back-engineer that and go, okay, if I want to be free, then we need police to impose order so I can be safe, so I can feel free. | ||
| Do you see what I mean in the way you, I'm still a libertarian, but weirdly libertarianism means I want police out there, you know, making things safe. | ||
|

|
Yeah, well, you know, we had, in one of our conferences, I think it was 2018, we had the great Nassim Nicholas Taleb as one of our speakers, and he said something that always struck me. | |
| He was talking about politics and philosophy, and he said you can have anarchism at a federal level and communism at your village level. | ||
| If you think about it, that's interesting, and that's all doable within Within libertarianism, I don't like the word libertarianism. | ||
| And Dr. | ||
| Paul uses a better word, I think, which is voluntarism. | ||
| You know, a voluntary society where you're not coerced into doing things that you don't want to do. | ||
| And I think that's a more accurate word. | ||
| Just like I don't like the word capitalism, I like the word free market, because I think it more accurately describes it in a positive way, what we'd like to see. | ||
| But I think, you know, This woman who's having a meltdown, there are millions of people like this. | ||
| You may have had a couple of laughs like I did yesterday watching some of these libs of TikTok put up some videos of people having a meltdown. | ||
| And actually, I was laughing at them, but I also felt sad because of what it reflects is the fact that politics is too important in our society. | ||
| That's a big problem. | ||
| You know, I moved to Hungary right as communism fell. | ||
| And so I was still steeped in that very, very fresh post-communist world. | ||
| And families were so divided on who had been party members, who had been in opposition, who had been supporting the liberals and the right wing. | ||
| And I thought, you know, thank God I'm an American and we don't have that. | ||
| Well, it's been about 30 years ago since I moved there. | ||
| And unfortunately, we're moving in that direction where your politics, I mean, Trump's your family. | ||
| I hate my dad because he voted for Trump. | ||
| That's insane, man. | ||
| You've got your priorities way screwed up. | ||
| Yeah, I could not agree more. | ||
| And that is sort of the ultimate goal, right, is just to not have to care about this stuff. | ||
| Just go, you know, there's certain things that the government needs to be in charge of, and there's good people that are just taking care of that. | ||
| You know, the border's secure, the streets are safe, and so I don't have to worry about it. | ||
| That is absolutely, to me, the ultimate goal is to just be left alone, and you shouldn't have to worry about this. | ||
| And again, I think that is part of the realignment. | ||
| You wrote about this realignment in a recent article from RonPaulInstitute.org. | ||
| Pat Buchanan was right, and young conservatives agree. | ||
| And you point out in this first paragraph, the old right view that the focus of conservatism should be to conserve what's actually great about the United States is making a comeback, and young conservatives are embracing this. | ||
| I think that's certainly on display with the Trump phenomenon. | ||
| Can you expand a little bit on that? | ||
| What is the old right view of conservatism? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, the old right view is, you know, the view, of course, at the time that we didn't even want to get in NATO. You know, that was Mr. | |
| Conservative, the senator from Ohio, didn't want to get into NATO. Senator Taft didn't want to get into NATO, didn't want to have this unfortunate derailing of conservatism that I would blame mostly on William F. Buckley Jr., who said, well, We've got to kind of be the bad guys for a while because defeating communism is the most important thing. | ||
| So we've got to be big government conservatives now. | ||
| And that's a real, real problem. | ||
| And so what I think we're seeing, and I primarily focused on foreign policy, and I've always loved Pat Buchanan, by the way. | ||
| I saw his 1992 Right. | ||
| schooled my kids. | ||
| And when they were studying speech, I said, watch this speech because this is a great speech. | ||
| This is how you deliver a speech. | ||
| Of course, Reagan was great, too. | ||
| But I focused more on foreign policy and a return to non-interventionism. | ||
| Young people, if you look at recent polls, are absolutely sick of us backstopping the wars in the Middle East. | ||
| They don't want us propping up aggression. | ||
| They're sick of the proxy war in Ukraine. | ||
| And if you look at the numbers, it's very, very significant. | ||
| And you're not seeing that with the, and I think you mentioned some polling data earlier in your previous segment. | ||
| You're not seeing this with the 65ers and up, you know, the boomer generation. | ||
| But you are seeing young people who are tired of having to lead the world and having their pockets picked to do it. | ||
| So I think that's a very encouraging thing. | ||
| Isn't it a funny division that sort of crosses party lines in a way that really it's like it doesn't matter. | ||
| It's like you've got the left and the right, so you're dividing down the middle, but then you've got this crossbar that divides those into two groups. | ||
| So you've got sort of the anti-intervention right and the anti-intervention left and the pro-intervention. | ||
| And it's almost like that's the new dichotomy that's being split. | ||
| And It's funny because suddenly I'm on the same side as AOC and Rashida Tlaib. | ||
| And it's like, in my interpretation of all this, I think they're right about Israel and Gaza for the same reason they're wrong about everything else because they just see it as a race thing and they're basically like, well, the Israelis are white and they're oppressing brown people, so that's bad. | ||
| I just happen to agree with them on this, but I see it as a nationalistic and a foreign intervention and an anti-imperial stance is why I am for self-rule by the people of Gaza. | ||
| But it's an interesting new division that really only over the last year has made itself a powerful force in American politics because of what's ensued after October 7th. | ||
| Do you think this is going to have a lasting impact on electoral politics? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I think there's been a lot of pushback, of course, and there's been a real attempt to make the people protesting against what's happening in Gaza to be Marxist and pro-Hamas. | |
| I gave a speech at the Rage Against the War Machine rally here a few weeks ago at the Washington Memorial in D.C., and one of the things that I tried to do in my speech was to appeal to my fellow pro-life conservatives, saying, you're pro-life. | ||
| Why aren't you speaking up? | ||
| Don't let the left dominate this. | ||
| You need to speak up for life and you need to demand that our government stop sending weapons to slaughter families, both Muslim and Christian, in the region. | ||
| We have to, as conservatives, speak up because if we don't conserve life, then there's nothing left to conserve. | ||
| And there's a lot of fear of people being called bad names, but that's kind of, as a Christian, that's kind of in our history. | ||
| And by the way, if you are very pro-Israel, the US government is not doing them any favors. | ||
| The military industrial complex is making a lot of money off this war. | ||
| But we just saw in Amsterdam yesterday, there is so much residual hatred and it's actually terrifying. | ||
| People around the world are sick of what's happening and they're very, very angry. | ||
| So continuing to push this, to push them in this direction, Hey, it's not doing them any favors, you know? | ||
| I mean, it's like the guy at the bar who has had too many. | ||
| Sometimes you need a friend to put his arm around you and say, okay, buddy, let's go home. | ||
| You've had enough. | ||
| And I think that's the case right now. | ||
| And you've had enough means, sorry, no more weapons. | ||
| We wish you well. | ||
| But you guys have got to sort this thing out yourselves. | ||
| Yeah, we gotta cut them off. | ||
| I totally agree. | ||
| And you're right. | ||
| It's not doing the Israelis any favor. | ||
| I mean, they're practically on the verge of civil war right now with all the chaos going on in that country. | ||
| You've got 100,000 people there dislocated in their own land having to live off government handouts because they can't go back to work in the north of their country. | ||
| It's like total devastation, and yet you're called anti-Semitic for opposing this. | ||
| It makes no sense, and it feels like those labels are not having the impact that I'm talking about war. | ||
| I'm talking about babies being killed. | ||
| I'm talking about bombing hospitals. | ||
| I don't care what you call me. | ||
| This is wrong, and I'm going to keep saying it's wrong. | ||
| So call me whatever you want. | ||
| I feel like their labels are having less effect now, which is a wonderful thing in my opinion. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| I mean, you need to have a conversation about things, to use a cliché term. | ||
| But the sad fact is that it's sort of ironic. | ||
| It actually probably is increasing anti-Semitism. | ||
| I mean, I've been very vocal on my Twitter account about opposing U.S. backstopping of Israel's actions, and from a moral perspective, opposing what Israel's doing. | ||
| But the problem is that attracts a lot of people that just hate Jewish people. | ||
| You know, and I get a lot of that on my timeline. | ||
| And I try to, I mean, I'm trying to be the one to push back and say, look, this is the wrong, this is the wrong tack to take. | ||
| You know, in fact, I mean, we know that a lot of great Jewish people are with us on this. | ||
| I mean, people like my friend Max Blumenthal, like Glenn Greenwald, there's a lot of great people. | ||
| I mean, Max gave a tremendous speech at the Rage Against the War Machine rally. | ||
| I encourage people to try to find it. | ||
| Where he said, I do not. | ||
| I'm Jewish. | ||
| I do not subscribe to the supremacism. | ||
| It's terrible. | ||
| So, you know, I think it is encouraging. | ||
| But, you know, again, there's a lot of frustration and hatred out there. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And look, at the end of the day, America, the American government needs to prioritize America. | ||
| Everything they do should be judged on whether or not it's benefited Americans and American interest. | ||
| And clearly that is like not even remotely the top priority of the people in charge right now. | ||
| And I do think that's why there's been a lot of pushback. | ||
| That's why a lot of people have, you know, come to Donald Trump because he sees the nation as what I see the nation as, as an extended family. | ||
| We're on the same team and everybody else in the world is not on our team. | ||
| So, like, don't give them the ball. | ||
| It shouldn't seem that complicated. | ||
| And you say in this article, the younger generation on the right is getting it and they're threatening the establishment in ways that should warm all of our conservative hearts. | ||
| Do you think the establishment is scared right now? | ||
| Do you think they're I mean, what do you think is we think they're going to try to do next to stop this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, yeah, I mean, it's fun to have a victory lap, and I'm pleased to see what's happened, but let's not fool ourselves. | |
| The deep state, the permanent state, the people who are behind this, they're not going away, you know, and they're going to morph into a million different kinds of beasts, you know, and we may knock down Pompeo, but there's going to be a hundred Pompeos behind him. | ||
| So it's worrisome and it's really, this is the time to get down. | ||
| Now, I was just looking at Donald Trump. | ||
| He just released a plan to dismantle the deep state. | ||
| And, I mean, I have to say, I'm surprised at how good this plan is. | ||
| I mean, I don't know if you've seen this 10-point plan, but some of it is just, if he can do, I don't know how he's going to be able to do it because, you know, he's going to have a whole system against him. | ||
| But, in fact, I was thinking about this before we started talking, and I think one of his secret weapons, if he really embraces and understands it, is as we began this conversation, His appeal to outsiders. | ||
| You've got to have people like an RK, who's not part of the system, who doesn't need kudos from the system. | ||
| People like Elon Musk, who doesn't need to make a buck from the system. | ||
| He's already very rich. | ||
| People like Tulsi Gabbard. | ||
| I mean, find more independent people like that. | ||
| His mistake last time was saying, I want to get the general's. | ||
| Well, the generals all hated your guts and stabbed you in the back. | ||
| So he needs to appeal to outsiders to get some of this done because the insiders, this is their bread and butter. | ||
| They don't want to dismantle the system. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| You've got to have people that don't depend on the system to destroy the system. | ||
| And I hope he's learned that lesson. | ||
| It seems like he has. | ||
| I'm very encouraged by the amount of anti-Pompeo stuff I've seen recently from every direction. | ||
| People that I know are close to President Trump posting stuff. | ||
| President Trump, you stay away from Pompeo. | ||
| He is not your friend. | ||
| We covered it quite a bit in the beginning of the show. | ||
| So I want to talk to you about that, about what we can do to keep these types of people and not just Pompeo, but other neocons and CIA operatives out and that secret weapon of appealing to outsiders. | ||
| But also, I think... | ||
| I hope congressmen and senators and the Republican Party realize you're not going to just weather Trump and you can't just oppose him and hope he goes away and get back to business as usual. | ||
| The tide has turned, the political landscape shape has shifted, and we need them with President Trump dismantling the deep state. | ||
| He cannot do it without the backfield of congressmen and senators backing him up. | ||
| More with Daniel McAdams on the other side. | ||
| Stay with us. | ||
| Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| We're here just observing the sea change, watching the tidal shift, wondering where it goes from here. | ||
| I'm your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
| My guest is Daniel McAdams. | ||
| He is the executive director of the Ron Paul Institute and the co-host of Ron Paul's Liberty Report. | ||
| You can follow Mr. | ||
| McAdams at Daniel L. McAdams on X. That's at Daniel L. McAdams. | ||
| And, of course, the website is ronpaulinstitute.org. | ||
| And we sort of finished off the last segment there talking about Pompeo, and there's a big push right now. | ||
| Posting old videos of Pompeo sort of laughing at Trump getting his house raided by the FBI and going, Trump, this is not your friend. | ||
| You don't want him in office. | ||
| Do you think Trump's hearing this? | ||
| I mean, what do you think the threat is? | ||
| And are there other Pompeo's that we need to be looking out for beyond the man himself? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I think he does hear this. | |
| And on one hand, if he can be defeated in his aspirations, and trust me, he's got big aspirations. | ||
| This guy is like Dying for this job. | ||
| That would be a victory because he's a bad guy. | ||
| He was a bad guy last time. | ||
| And when we saw Trump praising him toward the end of the campaign, it was very disappointing. | ||
| This is a guy who's working across purposes to Trump, but he's also a very smart person. | ||
| He graduated at the top of his class at West Point. | ||
| He is no dummy. | ||
| He's very smart. | ||
| He's very slick. | ||
| And he's very dangerous. | ||
| But defeating him would be great. | ||
| But what's worrisome is that there are, you know, tons and tons of Mike Pompeo's behind Mike Pompeo. | ||
| And, you know, I don't want to throw cold water because, you know, this is the time to be happy but cautious. | ||
| But, you know, there are people like Brian Hook who's reportedly staffing up the State Department. | ||
| Brian Hook is a neocon. | ||
| He's the one who... | ||
| Urged Trump, unfortunately, successfully to destroy the Iran deal, which was working really well, and get us on a course toward conflict with Iran. | ||
| You have people like, what's his name, the former ambassador to Germany, Richard, Rick Greiner, who was Bolton's assistant at the UN. Died in the wool, neocon. | ||
| I'll tell you a little story. | ||
| I was working for a neocon think tank when George W. Bush was elected. | ||
| And this think tank had very, very close contacts. | ||
| I'm talking Dick Cheney going through the office, Donald Rumsfeld going through the office. | ||
| And I was not allowed in the conference room. | ||
| But they closed off the conference room. | ||
| They blocked up the doors and windows. | ||
| And they had the plumb book. | ||
| And they sat there with the plumb book. | ||
| And the neocons came in and they said, okay, this guy goes here. | ||
| This guy, put him here. | ||
| Do this. | ||
| That's how they do things. | ||
| While the rest of us are kind of celebrating and hoping things go well, these guys are busy little beavers. | ||
| And you can bet your booty that they're doing it right now. | ||
| They do not give up. | ||
| They do not have a reverse gear. | ||
| know and so we have to be vigilant and careful we don't have to feel despair because we're not going to get everything we want gonna be some bad guys in there but we have to remember that these people do not give up this is their whole life you know the rest of us have families and hobbies and things know for them this is it you know power it so and they still have so much power I I mean, their power is undiminished at this point. | ||
| I mean, no action has been taken yet. | ||
| So, you know, we showed the video earlier in the show, and you referenced it, Donald Trump's plan to dismantle the deep state. | ||
| The most interesting one to me is number seven. | ||
| He says he wants to ask Congress to establish an independent auditing system to continually monitor our intelligence agencies to ensure they're not spying on our citizens or running disinformation campaigns against the American people or that they're not spying on someone's campaign like they spied on my campaign. | ||
| Ostensibly, Congress is supposed to have oversight over the intelligence agencies. | ||
| We know that in practice that hasn't been the case for decades. | ||
| How do you regain oversight when they have so much power, when they've got the blackmail folders, when they've got this unfettered access to information and intelligence and all this stuff? | ||
| How do you do this? | ||
| And how do you think he should go about trying to reestablish elected representative control over our spy state? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's not going to be easy because, as you say, they've infiltrated everything. | |
| Look at how many former intelligence officers are now elected to Congress. | ||
| I mean, do you think they're going to vote for oversight? | ||
| No, it's not going to happen. | ||
| It's very difficult. | ||
| I mean, we need a new church committee, a church commission, to look at what's happened. | ||
| But I think the silver lining is the fact that they did spy on his campaign and he knows it, so he's PO'd and he wants to do something about it. | ||
| It's going to be difficult for him to do something about it. | ||
| But, you know, I think... | ||
| If he were to ask me, and he won't ask me probably, I would say you need to dig a little bit deeper and try to figure out what's the purpose of an intelligence community in the United States. | ||
| Now, I do not disagree that we need to have intelligence analysis. | ||
| We need to have people that will tell us what's coming. | ||
| I mean, this is what unfortunately led to JFK's demise from many reports, is that he wanted to separate intelligence analysis from covert action. | ||
| And he wanted to actually, when he said split it into a million pieces, he really meant the covert action part. | ||
| The people that we send over to stir up trouble, probably in places like Georgia right now, not the state but the country, We definitely have CIA people in Ukraine, in the Middle East. | ||
| These are the people that cause problems. | ||
| They do the revolutions. | ||
| He wanted to separate those two, and I think that's a very good idea, and maybe even break the covert action part up. | ||
| But you have to kind of back off a little bit and look at what is the role of an intelligence community in a free society. | ||
| And a lot of people would say it's incompatible having a covert political warfare unit in your government is incompatible with the free society. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I think this is a good—I mean, again, the silver lining is all the crap they did to him. | ||
| He recognizes now, and he's mad. | ||
| He's going to come out swinging against them, and I hope he's successful doing it. | ||
| But it's sort of one of those, and it's not damned if you do, damned if you don't, but it's like, you know, you talk about his appeal to outsiders, and that's his big strength. | ||
| He's able to bring in outsiders in, but with the intelligence agencies, it's so opaque. | ||
| If you are an outsider, you don't know what does what or who does what or how it works. | ||
| So it's like, okay, if you want to actually make tangible change with this system, you have to have somebody inside who knows it well enough who can advise you on how to change it, but if there's somebody inside that knows it well enough, they're probably not somebody you can trust, so... | ||
| So what do you do here? | ||
| Maybe the only option is just to break it and shatter it to a thousand and come up with a new one in some way. | ||
| He's got a challenge ahead of him. | ||
| And according to, I think it was Washington Times, the FBI is freaking out right now about all of this. | ||
| And apparently they were totally blindsided by Trump's victory. | ||
| And I assume... | ||
| Are probably getting rid of some documents right now, just in case. | ||
| Yeah, FBI brass. | ||
| Stunned and shell-shocked. | ||
| Somehow we know more than they do. | ||
| That's kind of disturbing, isn't it? | ||
| How do we know more than our intelligence agencies? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Multi-hundred billion dollar intelligence. | |
| You got me. | ||
| We didn't know. | ||
| No idea. | ||
| We had no idea. | ||
| And of course, it was right after the JFK assassination that you brought up that they started the drug running during Vietnam. | ||
| That's how they got their alternative source of income. | ||
| So that severed the purse strings, which was the way that Congress previously provided oversight. | ||
| And there's been no attempt since then. | ||
| I think a new church commission is exactly what's necessary. | ||
| And maybe we can find a good senator to lead that. | ||
| Is that something that you think is possible? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I mean, I think, Harrison, you make a great point that it's difficult to find people who understand that world but are objective enough to oppose it. | |
| And I would just, I mean, there's plenty of good names. | ||
| I would throw out, you know, Larry Johnson is someone You know, who I know very well, who was a CIA analyst. | ||
| Ray McGovern. | ||
| Ray McGovern briefed every president since JFK himself for the CIA. Now, he's a person who's on the left, but he's very much a civil libertarian and a great person. | ||
| I mean, that's just two to start with. | ||
| There are plenty of others, you know, that I know. | ||
| They're there. | ||
| You just have to find them and talk to them. | ||
| You know, it's definitely possible. | ||
| Maybe Jeffrey Sachs or John Mearsheimer, some of these people that have been coming out against the wars in Ukraine and in Israel recently, even though they're highly respected, and these professors that understand the geopolitical world, but very few of them actually come out strongly against the manipulation that our deep state has wrought overseas for so long. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, Sachs had nothing to gain by what he did. | |
| You know, only scorn, which is what he's gotten. | ||
| So he's someone who was on the other side, if you remember, when the Cold War ended. | ||
| He was on the Russia side, and he was on the side of the oligarchs destroying the country. | ||
| And now he's come to realize the mistakes that he's made. | ||
| And maybe he's trying to do a little bit of penance, which is not a bad thing, I might add. | ||
| But, you know, he's taking some big risks doing what he's doing. | ||
| And that kind of bravery, I mean, you don't see it very often. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| And again, I think the title shift that I'm seeing is that Republicans are finally sort of understanding the rules of the game and how you have to play it. | ||
| And it's even stuff that we don't even like doing really necessarily. | ||
| Like, you know, we're libertarians. | ||
| We don't want the government interfering and stuff, but it's like... | ||
| I showed a clip earlier. | ||
| Mike Johnson uses the term comprehensive immigration reform. | ||
| And Laura Ingram goes, don't use that. | ||
| Don't use these words. | ||
| Tell me what you're actually going to do. | ||
| We want deportations, not comprehensive immigration. | ||
| So, you know, it's like, let's just get rid of all the weasel words. | ||
| Let's get rid of all of the talking points. | ||
| Just set things right. | ||
| And it feels like people are desperate for that. | ||
| And I just hope that Republican congressmen and senators see this and are like, okay, we better go with the wind if we want to keep our seats. | ||
| What do you think the likelihood is that Trump will be actually bolstered and backed up and helped by a Republican Congress and Senate? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, you know who would not utter such a dopey phrase? | |
| And that's someone like Thomas Massey. | ||
| You know, a plain spoken. | ||
| He says what he means. | ||
| He means what he says. | ||
| I mean, for me, he's the absolute best member of the U.S. House of Representatives. | ||
| And there are some reasons for that. | ||
| One of them is that he's He's a successful man before he went into Congress. | ||
| He's the kind of citizen legislator that our framers, you know, imagine. | ||
| They didn't imagine people like Pelosi. | ||
| Every day she wakes like $80 million on the stock market. | ||
| Wow! | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, I told my son, just do her trades. | |
| He'll do fine. | ||
| I mean, this is not what we imagined, you know, from our legislative body. | ||
| And Thomas Massey, in my opinion, He reflects that. | ||
| And it was interesting to see toward the end of the Trump campaign because, you know, Massey and Trump have not always had a very good relationship. | ||
| I think Trump really didn't understand Massey at first. | ||
| He took a couple of Massey's votes perhaps out of context. | ||
| And there was a lot of tension between them. | ||
| And I think he, if I'm not mistaken, he supported a challenger to Massey a few times ago. | ||
| And I think he understands him better now. | ||
| And I think the feeling is mutual. | ||
| But it was surprising to see at the end, a pretty enthusiastic endorsement of Trump. | ||
| By Thomas Massey toward the end. | ||
| And what I hope for, if I can have my own little fantasy, I hope that means that Trump understands the importance of at least reaching out to someone like Massey. | ||
| Now, I'd hate to see him out of the house, but he certainly deserves a leadership role, more of a leadership role than he has right now, because he's a man of unquestionable integrity and intelligence. | ||
| It's absolutely incredible. | ||
| I mean, his interview with Tucker Carlson should be like mandatory viewing in civics class, because you're exactly right. | ||
| I mean, and you just see it, you watch, you go, oh, this is the type of guy that's supposed to be in our government. | ||
| This is exactly him, where before he was ever in government, he was like volunteering and he was fixing the boiler in the jail with his own bare hands. | ||
| He is a force of nature and explains sort of how it works and some of the pressures. | ||
| He talks about everybody having an AIPAC guy except for him. | ||
| And, you know, he talks about Donald Trump getting mad at him for his vote and going, you know, you're all you're messing me up. | ||
| So I do. | ||
| I hope he's I hope he's bringing Massey in and has the appreciation for Massey that that all of us Americans should have as somebody that is is the real deal in a way that is totally unprecedented in D.C. right now. | ||

Yeah, when we launched the Ron Paul Institute in early 2013, there was a young congressman from Kentucky who had just gotten elected. | |
| Everyone says he's a Ron Paul guy. | ||
| Well, we were holding our press conference to announce the institute, and here comes Thomas Massey just waltzing in, and we invited him to come to the front table. | ||
| He very enthusiastically came to the front table, gave a great speech, joined our board for the Ron Paul Institute. | ||
| And so that was a great beginning for him, and I think he's just gotten better. | ||
| He is amazing. | ||
| We need more Masseys, less Pompeos. | ||
| That's the takeaway here. | ||
| And when it comes to war, you got the Middle East war, you got Ukraine. | ||
| Both of these have been ramping up and up and up and up. | ||
| I mean, it seems like there's never a step backwards. | ||
| It's always expanding. | ||
| It's always growing more and more disturbing. | ||
| Then Trump wins the election. | ||
| And within 24 hours, Russia is making overtures, going, hey, it's time for peace talks. | ||
| Hamas is saying we call for an immediate cessation of conflicts. | ||
| This has given me a lot of hope, but it's also, again, all of this stuff, sort of double-edged sword, right? | ||
| It's like, okay, looks like Trump is the peace candidate. | ||
| He's already making strides in that direction, but we know that they're desperate. | ||
| We know they don't just let their wars get taken away without a fight. | ||
| So, I mean, are they going to do something in the next few months to... | ||
| You know, double down our support of Ukraine or, you know, to get into war with Iran. | ||
| I mean, what do you think the deep state is thinking now about the wars that we are waging by proxy in these areas? | ||
| And do you think that we're in greater danger now or do you think we're starting to move towards peace? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I did think we were in greater danger. | |
| I feel a little bit more comfortable now. | ||
| I think the margin of Trump's victory, not only Trump's victory, but the victory of Republicans in the House and Senate. | ||
| And Republicans are not yet the anti-war party, but there are a lot of Republicans that are. | ||
| I think trying to pull something off right now would be pretty transparently clear. | ||
| You know, political on the part of the administration. | ||
| So I'm not as worried about that. | ||
| But the issue that people need to understand, anyone going into the State Department, anyone going into the Pentagon, people need to understand that other countries also have national interests. | ||
| And that's been the problem with the Biden administration. | ||
| I mean, Russia has legitimate national interests that the United States cannot dictate. | ||
| That is the lesson of this two-year military operation. | ||
| They will not allow another country to dictate what it feels to be its existential needs. | ||
| The same is true with us, and that's fantastic. | ||
| So you're not going to have, I hope, you're not going to have a Trump going over there and telling them what to do because it will be unsuccessful. | ||
| And there are people that are around Trump, reportedly around Trump, that have come up with some plans that are absolutely cockamamie. | ||
| The idea of freezing the current line of contact is absolutely a non-starter. | ||
| And so if these people talk Trump into this as the solution, Trump will fail. | ||
| He needs to understand that this is not how things work. | ||
| And I hope he talks to people that understand this. | ||
| You know, I was really pleased, Harrison, to—we re-showed it on our show a couple of days ago—but an old clip from J.D. Vance from 2023— Where he talked about China and he said, the US is going over and hectoring people and telling them what to do. | ||
| And meanwhile, China is building roads and they're building infrastructure. | ||
| You know, he said, we need to be more like that and stop telling people what to do. | ||
| It was a brilliant little clip. | ||
| And I hope that's the J.D. Vance that we're getting as a vice president, because that would be tremendous. | ||
| I mean, it was just a great little clip. | ||
| It just seems like a clear-eyed and empathetic view of American foreign policy has been lacking for so long. | ||
| And we're being run by these people that think you can just stomp all over everybody anywhere and that they have to take it. | ||
| And they just don't. | ||
| And you've got to take China's point of view and Russia's point of view. | ||
| I mean, these are powerful countries. | ||
| You can't just dictate to them what you want. | ||
| And I'm very happy to see a lot of what J.D. Vance has come up with. | ||
| Or said publicly, I hope he sticks to that in policy. | ||
| And, you know, we've seen some of the public communications between Elon Musk and Ron Paul, some flirting back and forth, some encouragement. | ||
| It's very good to see. | ||
| And I understand maybe if you can't say it, but has there been behind-the-scenes communication? | ||
| Is this really happening? | ||
| Is Ron Paul being asked for his opinion during this transition period? | ||
| Or the Department of Government Efficiency, is he going to have a say in this? | ||
| Can you tell us anything about that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I think it's a little early to tell. | |
| We've had a little bit of contact, but it's not—I mean, as Dr. | ||
| Paul said in the interview with David Gronoski—great guy, by the way—he said, I'm not interested in any formal government role. | ||
| And, of course, that's not—he's not at that stage in his life and career right now. | ||
| But, I mean, I think he's thrilled to be asked. | ||
| He's happy. | ||
| You know, he feels like he has—certainly after 50 years of doing this, he has some insights to offer. | ||
| And I know that on an informal basis, if he's asked, he'll be happy to give those. | ||
| And I hope that does happen. | ||
| I think it would be beneficial for everyone and for the country. | ||
| Yeah, I do too. | ||
| And again, I just keep thinking of that slogan, peace is popular. | ||
| I sort of wish Trump had talked more about peace during the campaign. | ||
| Obviously, I'm not questioning it. | ||
| He won, so whatever. | ||
| He did what he had to to set it right. | ||
| But I would have really liked to see Trump come out and just go, you know, we need peace now. | ||
| This can't maintain. | ||
| Instead, he tends to sort of favor Israel and say they need more weapons and they need to go faster. | ||
| And it sends sort of a mixed message when he's saying I want peace, but also they need to hit Iran harder. | ||
| Like this is all sort of mixed up. | ||
| What do you think his intentions really are? | ||
| And what do you think he'll be able to do to sort of break us away from the conflicts in the Middle East that have nothing to do with us? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, Trump is sort of a paradox in this way, because on the one hand, he will say extremely pro-Israel things. | |
| I mean, way beyond anything that we've seen. | ||
| And he even says that I'm the most pro-Israel president ever. | ||
| But on the other hand, what he doesn't like are messy things around him. | ||
| You know, he doesn't like messy people. | ||
| He doesn't like messy things. | ||
| And I think if he's looking over there and this thing is not being resolved, He's going to be frustrated with Netanyahu. | ||
| He's already done it a couple of times. | ||
| He said this needs to be fixed. | ||
| And it's not because he has any sort of empathy for the other side, necessarily. | ||
| We don't know. | ||
| But it's that this is making me look bad. | ||
| And, you know, you and I may wish that he had more empathy or at least more revulsion. | ||
| We don't know, again, what's in his heart. | ||
| But we'll take the win. | ||
| If he doesn't want to look bad and this is making him look bad and he'll dial down the violence, then, hey, you've just got to take the W. You know, I actually do see a lot of empathy in Trump's statements, you know, more than Kamala, more than Biden. | ||
| I mean, when he actually acknowledges the people dying in Ukraine or in Gaza and, you know, he'll make these overt, you know, praise. | ||
| He'll praise Israel, you know, till the cows come home. | ||
| But he's like, people are dying and we got to stop the dying. | ||
| And he just says stuff like that. | ||
| We're just like, we got to stop the killing enough already. | ||
| And it's like, finally, somebody actually seems concerned that there are human beings expiring somewhere when it's always treated as just a geopolitical maneuver that we're making when it comes to the powers that be and the neocons and others. | ||
| They totally remove the humanity out of it. | ||
| And I see Trump actually having, you know, respecting the humanity of the people involved in both of these. | ||
| What about Ukraine? | ||
| Do you think he'll be able to, you know, find a reasonable resolution there? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I think it has to be bilateral. | |
| I don't think Ukraine as a country or whatever it is should be, you know, is necessarily going to be involved. | ||
| I don't know that it has agency. | ||
| This has to be something between the U.S. and Russia, you know. | ||
| And the thing that people don't understand is that Russia has expended a lot of blood and treasure to secure what it views as its vulnerable flank. | ||
| Now, why is it vulnerable? | ||
| Because NATO expanded despite the promises of the West after the end of the Cold War. | ||
| NATO should be disbanded. | ||
| There's no use for NATO. There's no Warsaw Act. | ||
| Why is there a NATO? Well, they're inventing things to do. | ||
| They invented the Yugoslav war because they wanted to have a purpose. | ||
| So we expanded NATO to their doorstep. | ||
| We put missiles right next to them. | ||
| Hey, if that happened to us, if China started putting missiles in Tijuana, we would be pretty concerned. | ||
| And so we have to understand that they have legitimate concerns and legitimate interests. | ||
| There are a lot of very, very thuggish, weird people in Ukraine. | ||
| Now, the whole country isn't, and it's sad that people are suffering, but there are people with abhorrent ideologies. | ||
| We've all seen the swastikas and the Black Suns and all these crazy tattoos and things. | ||
| They are still living in the world where there was a segment of people in Ukraine that backed Hitler. | ||
| And that's, for normal people, disgusting. | ||
| So they have to deal with that. | ||
| Russia lost how many millions of people? | ||
| The Soviet Union lost millions of people in World War II. | ||
| They're not going to allow this virus to start spreading next door. | ||
| It's just not going to happen. | ||
| You know, it won't be easy to have a solution, but one of the things you could do overnight would be just to stop giving them money and weapons. | ||
| And they're just going to have to deal with it. | ||
| Because everything we've given them hasn't worked anyway. | ||
| You know? | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just stop. | |
| Just stop. | ||
| Yeah, and it really seems that, you know, there's this through line through all of the conflicts and all of the strife that we talk about, whether it's illegal immigration or the war in Ukraine. | ||
| It's like, well, we could just stop funding it and see what happens. | ||
| Like, that would be a great start. | ||
| Stop funding the war. | ||
| Stop bringing people in by the millions and giving them places to stay. | ||
| I mean, just stop funding this stuff and let's start there. | ||
| You know, we only have two minutes left, so I'm not going to introduce the topic of bricks quite yet. | ||
| But I think that's another, you know, interesting thing I'd love to get your take on soon. | ||

| Follow him on X at Daniel L McAdams. | ||

| Just, you know, final words. | ||
| If you had one minute to say to anything, say anything to Donald Trump, what advice would you give him here in the next few months before his inauguration? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, it's a great start with how to dismantle the deep state. | |
| I hope that he takes a good, fresh look at the U.S. place in the world and looks back to our founders. | ||
| We want to be friendly with all countries who feel the same, but to have no passionate attachment to any other. | ||
| You know, China could be a great trading partner. | ||
| We don't need to attack China. | ||
| There's a lot of people who don't like the Ukraine war because they want to go to war with China. | ||
| China's a powerhouse. | ||
| It can't be denied. | ||
| They want to be friendly. | ||
| They don't want to kill their customers. | ||
| And so we can protect American jobs in many ways. | ||
| But doing it by going to economic war with China is not the way. | ||
| And I think he has the right instinct. | ||
| Dismantle the regulatory state. | ||
| Free up the energy that we have here, you know, literally underneath us, oceans of oil and things. | ||
| Free that up, and then we'll become competitive again. | ||
| And I hope that he sees that he understands that. | ||
| And I think he does. | ||
| I think so, too. | ||
| No entangling alliances and jettisoning the passionate attachments to foreign countries. | ||
| Of course, you're quoting... | ||
| I'm George Washington. | ||
| I know that because of your wonderful article. | ||
| You can find it at ronpaulinstitute.org. | ||
| Pat Buchanan was right, and young conservatives agree. | ||
| It's a sea change, and I'm very excited for what comes next. | ||
| Daniel McAdams, thank you so much for being with us on X at Daniel L. McAdams, ronpaulinstitute.org. | ||
