During a football match between Israeli team Maccabi and Dutch club Ajax held in Amsterdam, Israeli fans and one of the players refused to observe a minute of silence for the flood victims in Spain. | ||
Instead, they chanted death to Arabs. | ||
After the game, they went through the streets shouting anti-Arab war chants, ripping down Palestinian flags. | ||
And destroying property. | ||
The locals responded in force. | ||
Several Israelis were beaten. | ||
Injured. | ||
And some are reportedly missing. | ||
The mainstream media is predictably spinning it as an anti-Semitic hate crime against the Israelis. | ||
But the majority of the world now sees through that. | ||
As endless images of dead children flood social media, Israel and the United States are being solidified in the minds of the masses as war criminals. | ||
The U.S. funded war for a greater Israel has now entered into Lebanon. | ||
Netanyahu warned the Lebanese people to leave their homes because Hezbollah may have hidden weapons in them. | ||
unidentified
|
It placed rockets in your living rooms and missiles in your garage. | |
Those rockets and missiles are aimed directly at our cities, directly at our citizens. | ||
To defend our people against Hezbollah strikes, we must take out those weapons. | ||
Now, starting this morning, the IDF has warned you to get out of harm's way. | ||
I urge you. | ||
Take this warning seriously. | ||
And he even promised that they could return to their homes. | ||
unidentified
|
Once our operation is finished, you can come back safely to your homes. | |
Israeli forces then proceeded to use American weaponry to level and destroy entire residential neighborhoods, neighborhoods which have existed for centuries. | ||
After their massive bombing campaign, Israeli troops were sent into Lebanon, and they failed. | ||
Israel has a long history of failure when it comes to trying to invade their neighbor, Lebanon. | ||
And without USA bombs, Israel will run out of soldiers. | ||
One of the main reasons Israel was created was to one day act as an economic corridor for the West. | ||
That mission appears to be failing. | ||
As Israel and the United States are burning children and calling it self-defense, the East is beginning to get a stronger foothold in the area politically. | ||
The US government is run by people who have been bought and paid for by Israel. | ||
Many believe that Trump will negotiate peace. | ||
What we want is peace all over. | ||
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
And many believe that he will help ignite a war. | ||
Unlike liberal Kamala, I will support Israel's right to win its war on terror. | ||
You have to support that. | ||
Gotta win, gotta finish it all. | ||
And instead of pandering to the jihad sympathizers and America-hating radicals, we will deport them. | ||
We will deport them very quickly. | ||
We have no choice. | ||
unidentified
|
This is on the occasion of Donald Trump's presidency. | |
God bless America! | ||
God bless Israel. | ||
unidentified
|
Woo! | |
The fastest way to ignite an all-out war between the East and the West would be for the U.S. and Israel to invade Iran. | ||
And if resetting the world currency is the catalyst for all of this madness, then a world war would serve as a useful cover story for the history books. | ||
Reporting for InfoWars, this is Greg Reese. | ||
Alright folks, that is the latest from Greg Reese. | ||
Find and share that video at InfoWars.com. | ||
Nearly a million Lebanese made homeless by USA-funded Israel aggression. | ||
We'll be talking about the Israeli war today with our guest, a content creator known as Rathbone. | ||
We'll be talking about the left-right divide and how... | ||
The war in Israel makes strange bedfellows at times. | ||
We have a lot of stuff to talk about today, which is good because it might be our last show of all time. | ||
We don't know. | ||
We're not sure. | ||
I'll show you an announcement about this from Alex Jones on the other side, along through Daily Dispatch. | ||
We're going to talk about Trump's picks and also we're going to talk about And apparently little-known website where all the lefties are fleeing from X and going there. | ||
And we're going to have fun with it. | ||
unidentified
|
It's Tuesday, November 12th 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 this stuff together. | ||
Okay, three, two, one, let's jam. | ||
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
Welcome to the American Journal. | ||
I'm your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
Infowars.com, band.video. | ||
We are on the eve of the auction today. | ||
So likely, we will at least have a show tomorrow morning, I would think. | ||
I'm not sure exactly how the auction operates. | ||
But it will be sometime tomorrow that we will know our fate. | ||
Will we be purchased by somebody friendly who will let us continue to oppose the New World Order with everything we've got? | ||
By handing the reins back over to Alex Jones as CEO rather than sole owner? | ||
Or will we be purchased by some unfriendly organization and chopped up for parts? | ||
We don't know, and it really just depends on how much they want to spend. | ||
How much it's worth to them to get the scalp of Infowars. | ||
So I think we'll start off today with that. | ||
We'll do your daily dispatch on the other side, but I wanted to go to clip number one here. | ||
It's Alex Jones responding to trending number one on Twitter yesterday. | ||
Slightly mislabeled headline saying we were shutting down and absolutely going to be closed on Wednesday. | ||
Tomorrow is the auction, and if it goes against us, if an unfriendly person or organization purchases us, then we will be shut down as early as tomorrow. | ||
But it's not a certain thing. | ||
It's not a certainty at this point. | ||
Here's Alex Jones explaining it. | ||
Let's watch. | ||
I was getting ready to go to bed early because we've got a big day tomorrow at Infowars, fighting to get Donald Trump inaugurated because the deep state's publicly trying to stop that right now and got a lot of dirty tricks up their sleeves. | ||
And I noticed trending on the top of X was Infowars shutdown Wednesday. | ||
And I was clear in the video that if good guys buy it, Infowars will continue on, but if bad guys buy it, it won't. | ||
And I saw a lot of leftists running around, you know, celebrating and all the rest of it. | ||
Celebrate all you want. | ||
I've got offers all over the country, huge networks. | ||
We've got sponsors, backup studios. | ||
unidentified
|
We're reaching 70, 80 million people a day on X. We're all over more radio stations than ever. | |
We're almost to 400 stations. | ||
unidentified
|
We've gained like 50 in the last few months. | |
The truth's exploding. | ||
The world's waking up. | ||
The globalists are in trouble. | ||
I didn't do any of the things they said in those fake lawsuits where I was found guilty by judges. | ||
The Democratic Party runs the whole thing. | ||
The FBI, they don't understand that they cooked the whole thing up. | ||
The CIA, that's all come out. | ||
And they never wanted money. | ||
They said no to money. | ||
unidentified
|
They don't want money. | |
There's no money at InfoWars. | ||
There's no money in the equipment and the stuff like that. | ||
It's all a giant power grab. | ||
It's all lawfare, just like against President Trump. | ||
And so they've spent upwards of $80 million the last seven years suing me and coming after me and claiming I'm a crook and saying I had all this hidden money and none of it was true. | ||
New York Times had a report a few months ago, Jones had meager assets, never had a bunch of money. | ||
It's all lies, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
I hardly ever even talked about that story. | ||
The internet didn't believe it. | ||
I covered it a few times. | ||
Many years later, they dig it up. | ||
PR firms claim I did things I didn't do. | ||
Then they sued me. | ||
They raised money off me in fundraisers, reportedly over $100 million, and I was attacking them when I didn't. | ||
It's just all the same BS that Donald Trump said that he hates Hispanics. | ||
He never said that. | ||
It doesn't exist. | ||
Or Donald Trump put kids in cages. | ||
But that's why the dying corporate media is so discredited, is because they've been caught in lie after lie after lie. | ||
And they told you that Biden was smart as a tack, and Harris was gonna win, and the cults all imploding, and they're shaving their heads, and it's just all totally insane. | ||
So I'm vindicated. | ||
All I get's love. | ||
Our audience has exploded. | ||
So all you left is celebrating the end of Alex Jones, Infowars. | ||
You're fools. | ||
Just watch. | ||
Watch what's already happened. | ||
When they took Tucker off Fox, he got ten times bigger. | ||
My God, I can't imagine how it's gonna blow up in your face. | ||
You fail, America wins. | ||
You failed, America wins. | ||
And, you know, he mentions the fact that the New York Times and everybody else had to write articles saying, yeah, it turns out Alex Jones doesn't have a bunch of money stashed away. | ||
And in a way, you know, it sucks going through this, but there's never been a greater vindication that everything we've ever said was true. | ||
Alex Jones, how many times has he talked about, puts everything back into the operation. | ||
He's not just sitting back and making himself a billionaire off this, although he deserves it, although he probably should be. | ||
After all, you look at the salaries some of the people on CNN are paid. | ||
I mean, look at somebody like Don Lemon, who can't get like 500 people on a live stream now. | ||
I don't even know if he can get 100 people. | ||
I mean, he was like the number one voice at CNN for all of Trump's presidency. | ||
He gets fired. | ||
He goes on to try to be independent. | ||
Can't get triple digits. | ||
On his live streams, totally propped up, totally fake. | ||
Yet, when he was at CNN, just like Brian Stelter, they're being paid $15 million a year. | ||
I think Anderson Cooper is making even more. | ||
I mean, think about the fact that you've got people who do nothing but read a teleprompter, whose popularity is entirely fabricated and fake and forced. | ||
Making $12-15 million a year. | ||
And Alex Jones running this giant company. | ||
Changing the narrative. | ||
Remaining incredibly popular despite being banned constantly. | ||
And he's made or kept less in 30 years than they make in a single year. | ||
So it's just... | ||
It's total vindication on that front. | ||
Total openness where they just got absolutely all the finances. | ||
All the communication. | ||
They got everything. | ||
And they can't point to a single fraudulent thing. | ||
They can't point to money being sent to us from unknown sources. | ||
We're all just straight up, and that has been proven incontrovertibly by the legal processes. | ||
So, one little silver lining to the cloud. | ||
As he puts it, We're just going to keep going and put out another video saying we're going to be on air until they come in and physically shut us down. | ||
So that's what we plan on doing. | ||
I guess we should say. | ||
If I don't get to talk to you again, follow us on Twitter. | ||
Follow me on Twitter. | ||
That's the best way to keep up with whatever happens next. | ||
Because there could be... | ||
There's almost any possibility at this point. | ||
It could be a very smooth transition. | ||
It could be a friendly person purchases us and we were able to continue operations without very much of a hiccup. | ||
Or it could be that we got to go down for a couple months while everything else gets up and running before we sort of get the band back together. | ||
That might be the case as well. | ||
No matter what It's my plan. | ||
I'll probably just do Moonbase in the mornings. | ||
I'll just keep doing American Journal just by myself alone at home. | ||
It'll be very sad. | ||
We'll all be very sad. | ||
But hopefully we can rebuild. | ||
So just go follow me at Harrison H. Smith on X. At Harrison H. Smith. | ||
And whatever comes next, you'll be able to at least find me there. | ||
Unless they try to take that account in the lawsuit too. | ||
That's not going to happen. | ||
Alright, let's just get into it. | ||
We have so much to cover today. | ||
I want to take your phone calls in the second hour. | ||
We'll be joined by a guest in the third hour. | ||
So we got a lot to talk about and not a lot of time to jam it in. | ||
So let's get going with our daily dispatch. | ||
All right, here it is, folks, your Daily Dispatch for Tuesday, the 12th of November, 2024. | ||
Trump expected to tap Marco Rubio, first Secretary of State. | ||
Donald Trump is expected to tap U.S. Senator Marco Rubio to be a Secretary of State. | ||
Sources said on Monday, putting the Florida-born politician on track to be the first Latino to serve as America's top diplomat once the Republican president-elect takes office in January. | ||
Rubio is arguably the most hawkish option on Trump's shortlist for Secretary of State, and he has in past years advocated for a muscular foreign policy with respect to America's geopolitical foes, including China, Iran, and Cuba. | ||
You almost never see Cuba in these lists, but I guess since Margot Rubio is Cuban, I assume, they wanted to throw that in there. | ||
I don't believe this. | ||
I'll just say that right now. | ||
I don't think this is true. | ||
It hasn't been confirmed. | ||
Rubio hasn't said this. | ||
Trump hasn't said this. | ||
This is being reported as if it is true in a lot of media outlets. | ||
But so far, I'm pretty sure it's all just rumors. | ||
So we'll see. | ||
It could be true. | ||
I hope it's not. | ||
He's very hawkish. | ||
The one thing to understand with Trump's appointments is it's Trump's agenda and one of the Prerequisites to being a Trump appointee is that you are loyal to him and swear to carry out his agenda and not subvert him from the inside. | ||
Of course, that happened quite a bit in his first administration, so I'm sure he's being extra careful. | ||
But I'd rather not see Marco Rubio take this position. | ||
There are also rumors being reported by the Mises caucus ex-account that Mitch McConnell has basically said that they're not going to Like, the Senate will bar any of Trump's appointments if he doesn't put somebody like Marco Rubio in the Secretary of State position. | ||
Basically, they want a war hawk. | ||
They want a pro-war Republican, like old-school establishment Republican, as Secretary of State. | ||
So that may be part of the decision or the signaling happening here, is that Mitch McConnell is being a worthless sack of trash, completely undermining the massive unprecedented victory that Trump just achieved in spite of the Republicans doing everything they can to hamstring him. | ||
Another pick here that I think is a little bit more certain is Trump reportedly picks Kristi Noem to run Homeland Security Department. | ||
I haven't seen these announcements from Trump or any of the people mentioned. | ||
These are all still just rumors, but this is the rumor. | ||
President-elect Donald Trump has picked South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem to serve as the next Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. | ||
CNN reported Tuesday, Noem, once seen as a possible running mate for Trump, is currently serving her second four-year term as South Dakota's governor after a landslide re-election victory in 2022. | ||
She rose to national prominence after refusing to impose a statewide mask mandate during the COVID-19 pandemic. | ||
Again, pretty unexpected. | ||
I don't really have a lot of opinions on Kristi Noem quite yet. | ||
I'm going to have to look into her. | ||
Maybe we'll take calls on that topic, but... | ||
Not necessarily super good or super bad so far, but a disappointing lack of trustworthy names in his picks. | ||
We'd like to see people like Thomas Massey or Rand Paul or genuine America First conservatives, not establishment Republicans. | ||
We'll get back to that. | ||
Meanwhile, it is official. | ||
Now, finally, Decision Desk HQ projects Republicans will retain House majority. | ||
There are a lot of shenanigans going on, and it was up in the air for a while as to whether Republicans would retain the majority in the House. | ||
But they have done it. | ||
They have done it, and they will now control both chambers of Congress and the presidency. | ||
Total, universal, complete, and unblemished victory. | ||
Really incredible stuff. | ||
But unfortunately, they did do it again. | ||
They did do it again. | ||
This story's in Infowars. | ||
Voter fraud in Wisconsin's Senate race. | ||
Huge and improbable vote dump flips race for Dems. | ||
Shenanigans are being called on a key U.S. Senate election in Wisconsin where the race was called for incumbent Democrat candidate Tammy Baldwin last week after an overnight ballot dump pushed her over the edge. | ||
Now you're looking at that F-shaped graph once again. | ||
The straight up and down line. | ||
Kamala Harris just getting up above that Trump line in a totally unnatural and obviously fraudulent vote dump. | ||
Just enough ballots only for Kamala Harris. | ||
At 3 o'clock in the morning. | ||
Incredible. | ||
So we'll look into that. | ||
And finally, we have this, and this will lead us into our main story for this segment. | ||
Seattle woman overwhelmed by election killed father with an ice axe, police claim. | ||
Suspect reportedly told detectives she'd killed her father during a mental health crisis, feeling overwhelmed by emotions related to Election Day, according to KIRO7. We knew women were super mad that Donald Trump won, but this is just plain Looney Tunes, and it's not the only story like this, which, you know, obviously there's something else going on here. | ||
It's hard to even call this, like, political violence. | ||
Maybe if somebody went out and killed a bunch of random people, that would be even more, you know, easy to understand in terms of, like, political violence. | ||
But your dad killed your father? | ||
Like... | ||
It's just completely insane. | ||
And this is the thing I think is happening. | ||
I think we broke them. | ||
I think this victory really broke people in a very real way. | ||
And I've explained that we haven't shown a lot of compilations on this show of the leftists freaking out because it's got a different feel this time. | ||
It's got a different, I don't know, spirit about it. | ||
It's very sad. | ||
Because they're just like crying and weeping and they're just so insane. | ||
They legitimately are insane. | ||
But they've gone on... | ||
I don't even know how to put this. | ||
They've gone full QAnon with no plan. | ||
It's trust the plan, but there is no plan. | ||
It's the White Hats are in control. | ||
We hope. | ||
We hope. | ||
We're pretty sure. | ||
I mean, they are somehow convinced... | ||
That there's something, there's some secret, there's some twist in the story yet to come, and Donald Trump is not going to be president. | ||
They have absolutely nothing to bank this on. | ||
It's truly wild, and we're going to look at some of these videos and try to figure out what the hell they're even talking about, and what they're saying, and just what they think is happening. | ||
And I have some speculation in this regard. | ||
I have some ideas. | ||
But we'll start with clip number 17 here. | ||
This is one of the Blue Anon, QAnon knockoff psychopaths whose vision of reality has been so utterly warped. | ||
And these are all from TikTok. | ||
And I truly think it's because these people are having their view of reality. | ||
I mean, they are seeing the world through reality. | ||
The window of a Chinese lip syncing dance app for children. | ||
So they are absolutely bonkers. | ||
Let's go to clip 17 and just try to figure out what the hell these people are talking about. | ||
unidentified
|
I'm saying some things publicly, and there are some things I'm saying privately in backchannel chats. | |
And I'm doing this because there's actually a lot more dialogue going on right now. | ||
We know the score. | ||
We're not dummies. | ||
We may have underestimated the zeal for Trump, but we are strategizing. | ||
I want to remind you folks that people are watching us. | ||
They're watching us. | ||
Our views and thoughts are being recorded. | ||
My attitude is that I've already said so much crazy shit before he got elected that I'm already... | ||
And I'm going to continue speaking my truth because I'm already... | ||
So why not just lean into who I am? | ||
I encourage you to do the same. | ||
Oh, I encourage you to lean right in, my friend. | ||
Lean all the way in. | ||
Lean in so far, you go right over the edge. | ||
So they're working. | ||
They've got back channels. | ||
They're communicating. | ||
About what? | ||
Who knows? | ||
Who knows? | ||
God only knows. | ||
But again, they're in this delusion where they're like, I've already said too much. | ||
I'm already on the list. | ||
It's like, dude, nobody cares. | ||
Nobody cares what you're talking about. | ||
But what the hell are you talking about? | ||
No, the FBI is systematically cataloging for eventual detention right-wingers who do things like say they don't want their race to go away forever. | ||
Like, we actually are under extreme oppression and surveillance from an unfriendly occupying force in our government. | ||
You're just a crazy, beady-eyed bug person that nobody cares about. | ||
So what are you talking about? | ||
So they're utterly paranoid, but they are working behind the scenes to do something. | ||
We're sure about that. | ||
They're convinced that the election is going to be overturned, and primarily, like this is the thing, it's QAnon, but they don't have QAnon. | ||
It's trust the plan, patriots are in control, but... | ||
They don't even have riddles on the internet to back it up. | ||
They can't even point to word games on 4chan as a source of their paranoid delusions. | ||
No, it's all purely vibes. | ||
It's all vibes. | ||
So let's go to clip number 18 here. | ||
This is, again, another one who's convinced that Trump is going to be arrested. | ||
He's not going to be inaugurated. | ||
The election was stolen because she's just had a weird feeling. | ||
She woke up in the middle of the night one time. | ||
Let's watch. | ||
unidentified
|
I'm gonna put my tinfoil hat on here because something feels weird. | |
And I have avoided saying something, one, because everyone's talking about it, but I don't want to stoop to that level, but something feels weird. | ||
I'm one of the people who woke up in the middle of the night of election night just feeling a weird feeling. | ||
And I spent all day Thursday with a horrible headache, like sleeping all day, only waking up to throw up. | ||
And I've seen other people say that as well. | ||
Something is... | ||
Weird. | ||
And I love a conspiracy person just as much as an ex, but I really do believe that something is weird going on. | ||
So I don't want to get my hopes up, but I'm kind of hopeful. | ||
I don't know. | ||
I feel like something's going to happen. | ||
Something's going to happen. | ||
No, what happened is you took an extra Lexapro on election night and screwed up your insides. | ||
Now, that's probably what happened is you're Anti-psychotic and anti-depression medicine is screwing you up. | ||
This is the thing. | ||
These people are so paranoid and delusional, like they literally have physical symptoms of this delusion, of this fear of the boogeyman that doesn't exist. | ||
And they take that as proof that something's really happening because they're so intuitive. | ||
That, you know, if they wake up in the middle of the night, if they have a headache all day, I mean, it must be because Elon Musk used Starlink to help Trump cheat, and they're all going to go to prison. | ||
That's actually what they believe. | ||
Again, clip number 19, she has intuition, she has a feeling. | ||
It's all going to happen, folks. | ||
Let's watch. | ||
unidentified
|
I knew it. | |
I knew it! | ||
I have had a feeling since Tuesday, and so has my family, that something was very off about this election and the results. | ||
We just couldn't quite pinpoint it. | ||
We just couldn't put our finger And shout out to all the people who have made videos with information and divulging and divesting into all of this. | ||
It's really great informational help. | ||
And you know what? | ||
It just it makes sense. | ||
It makes sense that Starlink is a part of this and Elon Musk had It makes sense why Elon Musk is in this, why he just suddenly came out of nowhere. | ||
And I just couldn't quite put my finger on it because I didn't have enough evidence, I didn't have enough information to go off of a hunch, an intuition that I had. | ||
And as women, our intuitions are never wrong. | ||
And now it makes a lot of sense. | ||
It makes a lot of sense. | ||
And you know what? | ||
I didn't really want to say anything because I didn't want people, or, I'm sorry, not people, MAGA and Trump supporters to come out and say, oh, so now it's voter fraud, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. | ||
Like, just coming out with bullshit to try to, you know. | ||
Point out your hypocrisy. | ||
unidentified
|
I've noticed that a lot of MAGA Trump supporters have been very quiet. | |
And I live in a very deep red state. | ||
I haven't heard a single peep from these people, okay? | ||
And that crazy orange man... | ||
He's been real quiet, a little too quiet on social media. | ||
And that man is a creature of habit. | ||
He has patterns. | ||
He has shown us repeatedly for years that he can't shut his yap, okay? | ||
He just says whatever he wants on the internet. | ||
And for him to not brag about winning this election? | ||
Hmm. | ||
Hmm. | ||
Mm-mm-mm. | ||
Something's off. | ||
Something has been off. | ||
And now it makes total sense. | ||
Now it makes sense, guys. | ||
unidentified
|
I knew there was something up. | |
As soon as I saw Elon and he was being a little too annoying by coming out on the internet, I knew something was wrong. | ||
It's all making sense now. | ||
Ah, yes. | ||
unidentified
|
It's all making sense now, guys. | |
It's all making sense. | ||
unidentified
|
I knew it. | |
It's all coming together. | ||
What the hell is she talking about? | ||
God only knows. | ||
I have no idea. | ||
I have absolutely no idea what the hell she's talking about. | ||
It's QAnon. | ||
It is QAnon with no plan. | ||
It's amazing. | ||
What is she talking about? | ||
She's like, I knew it. | ||
And thank you to everybody for posting the information. | ||
I didn't have the information before, but I do now. | ||
It's like, do you want to tell us what it is so it doesn't exist? | ||
Oh, you're just an insane person. | ||
Who's scared to say Trump's name? | ||
Yeah, we broke him, folks. | ||
We broke him. | ||
We broke him completely. | ||
We're diving into Blue Anon. | ||
QAnon for leftists. | ||
Without even a QAnon. | ||
There's not even a Q to guide them. | ||
They're completely off the rails. | ||
It's wild. | ||
Now, there are some moves the Democrats are making to try to undermine and reverse the results of the election. | ||
I don't think they're going to work, and I'll tell you why. | ||
But I want to continue to hear the wisdom of these people. | ||
Clearly it's all about intuition. | ||
Starlink has something to do with it. | ||
Elon Musk is there too, I guess. | ||
They're also seemingly convinced that Donald Trump has been very quiet on social media. | ||
He hasn't. | ||
They're convinced that Trump supporters have been very quiet. | ||
We have not. | ||
We have not. | ||
Have we been too quiet? | ||
Do we need to yell? | ||
You lost. | ||
We won. | ||
It's awesome. | ||
I don't know how much more we can say that. | ||
We got a lot of very normal, reasonable people who go on TikTok and come out as literal clowns. | ||
Go now to clip number 16. | ||
unidentified
|
I just know it's Elon. | |
I know it's Elon Musk. | ||
I know that barrel-chested bitch has something to do with all... | ||
He's behind it. | ||
I swear to God. | ||
I swear to God. | ||
Listen, I don't have logic, I don't have evidence, I don't have facts. | ||
I'm a very logical evidence guy. | ||
I don't have logic, facts. | ||
I mean, my God. | ||

I really feel like, listen, Elon's not the smartest cookie in the cookie jar. | ||
Duh. | ||
But... | ||
Yeah, he's just a rocket scientist. | ||
unidentified
|
He's got power, he's got influence, and I really don't feel like people truly understand how much influence he has. | |
For our radio viewers, she is dressed up like a mime, I want you to know. | ||
She has full-fledged clown makeup on. | ||

|
The math isn't mathing. | |
The math isn't... | ||
Listen, if really that many people voted, you know, it wouldn't be surprising. | ||
The education system in this country is f***ed, so I'm really not surprised. | ||
But, girl. | ||
We don't need to vote. | ||
Elon. | ||
Elon, that transphobic f***wad. | ||
I swear to God, it's him. | ||
We don't know. | ||
Honestly, I was going to print out transcripts of this, try to go line by line, word by word. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Aren't mimes supposed to be silent, lady? | ||
Somebody put her in an invisible box. | ||
God only knows what these people think that they're seeing. | ||
By the way, shout out to Shellshocked is the X account that posted all these. | ||
Shellshock with two Ks at the end. | ||
Well, three Ks at the end. | ||
So ShellshockKK. | ||
Posted all of these, and okay, so Elon definitely has something to do with it. | ||
We're assured. | ||
All right. | ||
What do they think? | ||
I don't know. | ||
They just, they say nonsense, and they look at you condescendingly. | ||
We're just like, what do you think is happening? | ||
Like, can you even express it? | ||
Can you explain it? | ||
If you're not getting QAnon vibes here, I don't know what to tell you. | ||
There was a lot of this with QAnon. | ||
A lot of this like, now we know. | ||
Now we know. | ||
It's confirmed. | ||
I finally got the information, guys, breaking. | ||
My sources have told me it's happening. | ||
It's like, what are you talking about? | ||
What are you saying? | ||
What do you think is happening? | ||
Who is doing it? | ||
What are you talking about? | ||
Now with QAnon, they were being led along by riddles on the internet. | ||
Word puzzles on an anime forum. | ||
But at least they had something. | ||
At least they had somebody guiding them. | ||
At least they had some reason to follow the breadcrumbs. | ||
When QAnon started, there were posts from within Air Force One. | ||
I was like, okay, wow, this is somebody actually in Trump's inner circle. | ||
They're trying to tell us something secret. | ||
These people are just dressed up as clowns. | ||
And blaming Elon Musk for Trump's election victory. | ||
But why though? | ||
But why? | ||
But what are you talking about? | ||
And let's go to clip number 20 here. | ||
Because they're trusting the plan. | ||
And frankly, actually, let's go to clip 13 first. | ||
This is one of the QAnon kind of style. | ||
They're looking for hints. | ||
Uh-oh. | ||
Oh, we just went completely down. | ||
Are we still on air? | ||
Every electronic in the building just turned off. | ||
I don't know if you can still hear me. | ||
We are still broadcasting. | ||
That was crazy. | ||
Alright. | ||
Yeah, everything just went down, folks. | ||
unidentified
|
Alright. | |
They can still hear me okay. | ||
Wow. | ||
We've had power outages before, but that was like everything. | ||
That was crazy. | ||
Look, we're back up and running. | ||
Look at the resilience of the Infowars studio. | ||
Of course the generator kicked off. | ||
Of course the backup generator kicked on. | ||
We're prepared for these sorts of things. | ||
It's the type of redundancy we expect from an operation like this. | ||
Alright, so what should we do? | ||
Can we play videos? | ||
I do want to play some more of these insane people, but I'll just... | ||
I guess we'll skip to the end. | ||
I guess we'll skip all of the silly gibberish from the clown people for now. | ||
And talk about what they're actually planning. | ||
This is from Wall Street Journal today. | ||
Harris fundraising fine print signals recount effort. | ||
The Harris Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee that allocates contributions to her campaign, the National Democratic National Committee and to state Democrat committees, quietly updated the information on its donations page on Wednesday morning. | ||
The donations page now says that a portion of its money donated to the fund will be allocated to Harris for president's recount account, signaling that Kamala Harris's team is gearing up to watch the counts of votes in contested states closely. | ||
Quote, this is a razor-thin race. | ||
We need your help to make sure every vote is counted. | ||
The Harris campaign didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. | ||
So they are apparently trying to pull some sort of recount maneuver. | ||
Which I say, fine. | ||
Okay, yeah, do a recount. | ||
That'll be great. | ||
I have the feeling of the very distinct premonition that if they do a recount, they're going to lose votes. | ||
I have the feeling that if anybody cast fraudulent votes in this election, it was still the Democrats. | ||
And if you do a recount, your vote total will actually go down in the future. | ||
That's my supposition. | ||
But they seem completely convinced, the Democrats, that Kamala Harris has some secret plan that it's about to be put into action. | ||
They're organizing and coordinating, communicating behind the scenes about this illusionary fix. | ||
Harris fundraising page says portion of donations will be directed to recount account. | ||
And people are saying, yeah, she set aside money. | ||
They're going to do a big recount. | ||
They spent a billion dollars on the campaign. | ||
And ended it $20 million in debt. | ||
They don't have money for a recount. | ||
They would have to raise $20 million to pay off their debt and then millions of dollars for a recount. | ||
I don't think it's happening anytime soon. | ||
Are we able to go to the videos, guys? | ||
We are? | ||
Okay. | ||
All right. | ||
But they're getting signals. | ||
They're hearing signals like a schizophrenic person hears demons. | ||
I mean, they are hallucinating. | ||
And one of the primary things, you point to QAnon, and they have all these things where it's like, oh, I can't even think of an example, but they have where it's like, oh, follow the money, and then Trump says follow the money, and they're like, ah, confirmed, QAnon confirmed. | ||
But they have things that are on the QAnon post that then something happens in real life, and they draw a connection there. | ||
There's at least something there. | ||
It's not totally hallucinatory. | ||
With these people, What they're clinging to is the way Kamala Harris walked off stage when she gave her concession speech. | ||
They're legitimately like, did you see the way that she walked off stage? | ||
She knows something. | ||
It's coming. | ||
Donald Trump's not going to be president. | ||
Not because of anything she said, not because of anything anonymous people posted on 4chan, but because of the way she flipped her hair while she walked away after conceding the election. | ||
Go with that. | ||
Sure, go with that. | ||
If that's the proof you got, good for you, people. | ||
It's not just Kamala Harris. | ||
AOC, I think, is kind of playing into this a little bit. | ||
I think she knows what she's doing. | ||
Let's go to, I think it's clip number 13. | ||
Let's go to clip number 13 now. | ||
unidentified
|
Did AOC just drop like the biggest hint we've had yet since the election? | |
Listen. | ||
I've been getting a lot of questions to this effect. | ||
What's the game plan? | ||
What do we do? | ||
unidentified
|
What's the deal? | |
And what happened is so massive that it's going to take just a second. | ||
It's coming, but it's going to take a second to share. | ||
Orange Man has been so, so quiet since all this went down. | ||
Something is happening. | ||
Something's happening and it's coming. | ||
I guess, yeah. | ||
Okay. | ||
Sure. | ||
It's this vague way of speaking. | ||
What happened was so big. | ||
It's going to take a while, but it's coming. | ||
What's coming? | ||
What happened? | ||
What was big? | ||
What are you talking about? | ||
What is this? | ||
What is this? | ||
Honestly. | ||
I don't know if AOC is playing into this and just like, oh, people think something's happening. | ||
I'll drop them breadcrumbs. | ||
Just get attention because you might as well. | ||
I guess you might as well play along. | ||
Or if they really think they're scheming and planning something, that could be true too. | ||
We've got weirdo, bug-eyed Australian TikTokers convinced that Donald Trump's not going to be president because AOC is like, trust the plan, you guys. | ||
Trust the plan, Patriot's in control. | ||
Let's go now to clip number 20. | ||
And this one's hilarious. | ||
I love this one. | ||
Because again, you got these people that are so delusional, so deluded, and so out of touch, so disconnected from reality. | ||
unidentified
|
Imagine... | |
Just watch the video. | ||
I'll talk about it after. | ||
Watch the video. | ||
unidentified
|
On the night of the election, at approximately 7 p.m. | |
Eastern, a source... | ||
Moderately high up within the DNC, texted me, keep the faith, with three exclamation points. | ||
Now at the time, I read that as, hoorah, the polls are still open. | ||
Upon reflection, keep the faith? | ||
Maybe they didn't mean keep the faith that Kamla will pull through. | ||
Maybe they meant keep the faith in democracy, in the rule of law, in checks and balances. | ||
And I texted them today asking if we should still be keeping the faith. | ||
And they didn't respond. | ||
Which either means yes, and I can't tell you, or means that they're sad because they just lost their job because the campaign is over. | ||
I'm keeping the faith. | ||
It's keeping on. | ||
It's trust the plan. | ||
I got a text from a DNC insider on election night that said keep the faith. | ||
I'm thinking what does that mean? | ||
What could that mean? | ||
It means it was 7pm on election night. | ||
Nowhere in the country has their polls weren't even closed yet. | ||
There were no returns in yet. | ||
It meant The election's not over. | ||
Keep the faith. | ||
We don't know who won yet. | ||
That's what that meant at 7pm on election night. | ||
Imagine being that person in the DNC that's like, hey, keep the faith. | ||
You know, it's still early. | ||
It's only 7pm. | ||
90% of the country hasn't even announced results yet. | ||
Just keep the faith. | ||
But the person you're texting is an insane person. | ||
That's like, what do they mean? | ||
unidentified
|
Do they mean keep the faith in democracy and the rule of law? | |
And then you get a text a week later, a week after you resoundingly lost the election, a week after everybody knows that your candidate completely lost, you get a text from that same person going, should I still be keeping the faith? | ||
Of course she didn't respond. | ||
She thought you were messing with her. | ||
She thought you were trolling her. | ||
That's probably what it sounded like from that person. | ||
Keep the faith on election night, and then like five days later, after you resoundingly lose, you get text messages like, oh, should I still be keeping the faith? | ||
No, it probably sounded like you were being a sarcastic jerk. | ||
That's probably what it sounded like to that person. | ||
I mean, they said keep the faith at 7 p.m. | ||
on election night, and to this person, That was actually a secret message saying that a week later, you should still be keeping the faith because Patriots are in control. | ||
Trust the plan. | ||
Should I still be keeping the faith? | ||
And they didn't respond. | ||
That could mean that I'm a secret agent and a spy, and there's secret information that they don't want you to know, or it's just they thought I was mocking them, so they didn't respond. | ||
Yeah, that's what happened. | ||
No, she thought you were mocking her. | ||
By asking if you should still be keeping the faith after losing so badly, just so, so badly you guys lost, man. | ||
Just, it was bad. | ||
It was really bad, you guys. | ||
Keep the faith, trust the plan. | ||
We got a couple more here. | ||
Let's go to clip number 15. | ||
Another totally lucid and sane liberal leftist convinced that it's all coming down. | ||
Let's watch. | ||
unidentified
|
Believe in her. | |
She is way too quiet. | ||
They are way too quiet. | ||
I don't hear, you know, our boy... | ||
We're so wonderful. | ||
You guys all suck. | ||
No, we're wonderful. | ||
You guys suck. | ||
Hold on. | ||
Pause real quick. | ||
This is, I mean... | ||
I'm going to joke when I did the skit of The Boy Who Cried Wolf, where it's like, you know, the fact that there was no wolf, really, that just means, wow, this wolf is dangerous. | ||
You know, the silence is actually proof of how dangerous this enemy is. | ||
The fact that they don't exist is just proof of how cunning they are. | ||
That's what we're seeing here. | ||
It's QAnon, but instead of things being said, it's silence. | ||
And the silence they're taking as incontrovertible proof That the whole election's about to be overturned. | ||
They're actually too quiet. | ||
Everyone's too quiet. | ||
Nobody's saying anything. | ||
That must mean the election's about to be overturned. | ||
What the hell are you talking about? | ||
Nobody's saying anything is proof that nothing is happening. | ||
The opposite of what you think. | ||
But let's go back. | ||
So again, it's the silence, which I guess they're just not reading Trump's social media. | ||
We are dunking all over, you fools. | ||
We're being very loud and rambunctious in our celebrations. | ||
Mocking you. | ||
So, what are you talking about? | ||
Let's go. | ||
unidentified
|
Our girl is not going to be outmaneuvered by this trashcan island of misfit toys. | |
I don't believe it. | ||
It's not gonna happen. | ||
She's too smart. | ||
We're too smart. | ||
We're so smart, you guys. | ||

If America wants to go on, we've got to break up. | |
We have to. | ||
We ought to break up with our Krusty Joe Alwyn so we can find our Travis Kelsey. | ||
That's what we have to do. | ||
Look, they don't want to move with us. | ||
They don't want to evolve. | ||
And I get it. | ||
Listen, if all I had to do was sit around all day and have people wait on me, I would think that was great, too. | ||
But you know what? | ||
Actually, I probably wouldn't think that was great. | ||
Can we pause it again? | ||
Can we pause it again? | ||
This is, it's like the levels of, first of all, they're Their brains are Swiss cheese. | ||
I think she was talking about Taylor Swift there. | ||
That breakup with your old boyfriend to find your closeted gay football player. | ||
To have a totally fake relationship. | ||
Remember when all those documents got leaked where it was like, the breakup is planned for November and it'll be a full push, full press push. | ||
The breakup will be very big news. | ||
Make sure the tabloids are ready to report on this. | ||
That's totally beside the point. | ||
But they can't relate with the real world. | ||
They have to interpret it through Taylor Swift and Marvel movies. | ||
Okay, that's fine. | ||
That's totally fine. | ||
She says they don't want to move forward with us. | ||
They don't want to progress with us. | ||
And why should they? | ||
I wouldn't want to move forward if I sat around being served and waited on hand and foot. | ||
Who is she talking about? | ||
What is she talking about? | ||
That's the question. | ||
What is she talking about? | ||
What, 80 million people voted for Trump? | ||
75 plus million people. | ||
Does she think? | ||
That all the Trump supporters in the country are Roman emperors being alternately fanned and fed grapes by voluptuous slave women? | ||
Like, what is she talking about? | ||
I wish I had answers for you. | ||
Honestly, I wish I could come here and go, here's what's happening. | ||
But no, we're just diving headfirst into the fetid cesspit of the liberal mind, and there's no light to see by. | ||
It's just darkness. | ||
It's just pure, inky blackness. | ||
I have no idea what these people are thinking. | ||
I have no idea what they're... | ||
The clown woman make up. | ||
The woman in clown... | ||
Okay. | ||
Said, I have no proof. | ||
I have no logic. | ||
I have no information. | ||
And I'm a very logical, factual information person. | ||
I have none of these, and I'm sure. | ||
So God only knows. | ||
What are they thinking? | ||
What are they saying? | ||
Who do they think they're fighting? | ||
Who do they think they're representing? | ||
We honestly have absolutely no idea. | ||
If we can go back to clip 15 here to... | ||
Close it out and then we'll show you one more. | ||
But again, I'm just... | ||
These people think that you either vote for Democrats or you are a billionaire. | ||
I guess. | ||
They think you're waiting on hand and foot. | ||
Which, by the way, billionaires are probably some of the hardest working people in the world. | ||
So that doesn't even make sense. | ||
But regardless, they legitimately think they are like the Jacobins in the French Revolution. | ||
That are rebelling against an entrenched monarchical aristocracy that's weighted on hand and foot. | ||
The people who voted for Trump are truck drivers and plumbers and grocery store baggers and retired teachers. | ||
Like, what are you talking about? | ||
I don't know. | ||
Let's keep listening. | ||
unidentified
|
Pathetic. | |
My God. | ||
At any rate. | ||
We are all going to move forward and we're going to move forward together and they can stay back there. | ||
They can stay with their climate change denial and women really are good for nothing but having babies because, you know, the white boys are so smart. | ||
I mean, and don't try to tell us. | ||
That our men turned on us. | ||
Because they did not. | ||
White women did not. | ||
We didn't suddenly wake up and go, you know what, let's just turn. | ||
No, we did not. | ||
Girls, sisters, we did not turn on you. | ||
Do not let them divide us. | ||
They are saying that our Black, Latino, our white male partners, no, our men did not turn on us. | ||
Do not believe them. | ||
Kamala is going to handle this. | ||
Believe in her. | ||
Believe in her. | ||
Kamala's gonna she's gonna handle it you guys. | ||
They're the smart ones. | ||
They're so smart. | ||
Trust us. | ||
We got one more. | ||
Let's go to clip number 21 here. | ||
unidentified
|
Like a couple weeks ago, I said either Kamala's gonna win and it's gonna be like embarrassing amount like like landslide, which obviously didn't happen. | |
Or, he's gonna win and we're gonna find out that he cheated. | ||
If I were to tell my mom in high school that I got an A on a test, she'd automatically be like, No, you didn't. | ||
Like, when somebody normally gets an F and then they get an A, like, you're like, what's... | ||
You get a little... | ||
No, you get it. | ||
You're dumb. | ||
I would also be surprised if you got a passing grade. | ||
I understand that completely. | ||
I want to go to one more video here because, again, this is the level of delusion. | ||
Let's go to clip number six. | ||
We're going to be saved by Black Girl Magic, and you can tell because of the way Kamala Harris flipped her hair. | ||
I'm very smart. | ||
Let's watch. | ||
unidentified
|
The way she walked off the stage... | |
Anybody who has been around black women, anybody who's been around black mamas, has black mamas, has black grandmas, or have been around very strong women, have you noticed the arm? | ||
She walked off. | ||
With the arm. | ||
With the arm. | ||
unidentified
|
Guys, we know what that arm means. | |
Do we? | ||
unidentified
|
We know what the arm is. | |
What is it? | ||
Like, you can go out with the boys if you want to. | ||
Like, that's the energy that she gave off. | ||
She was smiling. | ||
And it was a genuine smile. | ||
Like, because we can tell when Kamala genuinely smiles. | ||
Because we have black grandmas, yeah. | ||
We know the difference. | ||
We see the difference. | ||
The arm and the smile. | ||
unidentified
|
And in her speech, she said, you know, in her speech, she said that when we fight, we win. | |
And the fight isn't over. | ||
There's the arm. | ||
unidentified
|
That's it. | |
That was the signal. | ||
unidentified
|
She knew something. | |
She knew something. | ||
unidentified
|
That walk and that arm gave off the, you just fell into a trap. | |
She finally got that one little thing that she needed. | ||
That one extra thing that she needed. | ||
And now somebody's going to be going into the find out stage. | ||
Yeah, they're delusional, folks. | ||
We're going to comment more on the other side, but wait for it. | ||
Wait for it. | ||
Okay, she's losing. | ||
It's depressing. | ||
It's hopeless. | ||
But wait. | ||
But wait a second. | ||
What's that? | ||
What's she doing? | ||
There it is. | ||
There's the arm. | ||
There's the arm. | ||
My occult knowledge of black women tells me that that means Donald Trump isn't going to be president. | ||
I am very smart. | ||
We are the smart ones. | ||
Welcome back. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, second hour of American Journal is on... | ||
Infowars.com, band.video. | ||
Share those links. | ||
Follow me on Twitter, at Harrison H. Smith. | ||
I got some people on Twitter saying there's more important things to talk about. | ||
Suggesting I do a deep dive on John Podesta. | ||
Like, that hasn't been done to death years ago. | ||
I'll tell you why we're covering this. | ||
Because, one, it's hilarious. | ||
And that's my role here. | ||
Did you not know that? | ||
Did you not know that nine-tenths of victory is morale of the troops? | ||
That's according to Napoleon, the greatest general of all time. | ||
So I'm just following in the footsteps of the great men that came before me, keeping morale up by dunking on the insanity of liberals, but also glimpsing into the dark recesses of their cursed minds. | ||
So we have to understand our country and really our world. | ||
Is having their reality framed through the distortioned lens of TikTok, of a Chinese sing-song app. | ||
And these people are insane. | ||
I mean, it's not just like, wow, they believe crazy things. | ||
Like, no. | ||
Legitimately, I'm concerned for them. | ||
Matt, I know you wanted to chime in on this. | ||
What do we do with these people? | ||
What do you think they've got up their sleeve? | ||
I'm thinking there's gotta be something to this. | ||
I mean, their intuition, as we know, is never, ever wrong. | ||
What do you think about this, Matt? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, no, I mean, she was obviously dog whistling to her base as she was walking away there. | |
When we fight, we win. | ||
That type of rhetoric is frightening. | ||
It's an insurrection is what it is. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
No, no doubt. | ||
I think what we should do is impanel a bunch of people to start an investigation into everyone Who was wearing Kamala, you know, stuff. | ||
And, I mean, obviously, right? | ||
Obviously. | ||
Well, for the sake of democracy. | ||
I think we have to do this to save democracy. | ||
We have to arrest all of these people for insurrection. | ||
She did say fight. | ||
And that's the funny part. | ||
Her slogan literally at the end was, when you fight, you win. | ||
While they're trying to... | ||
Discredit Trump through the 14th Amendment by saying that him saying fight meant that he was in an insurrection and now can't hold the presidency. | ||
But their slogan is, when you fight, you win. | ||
Pretty amazing stuff. | ||
Pretty incredible madness that we're witnessing on a daily basis. | ||
So we will move on, but there's another thing that you need to know, which is that they are planning, they are organizing, they do have, until now, secret websites that they're trying to keep from us, but we're not going to let them. | ||
Because if there's one thing we've learned from their incessant nagging, it's that when somebody tries to keep you out of a place where you don't belong, That means they're evil and bigoted, and that thing must be infiltrated and or destroyed. | ||
Okay, so this is what you get. | ||
unidentified
|
Real quickly, though, just to follow up on, you know, just what we were talking about, though. | |
It would be so awesome to see, you know, first act as president, Donald Trump pardon all the January 6th people. | ||
I mean, on a serious note, because, you know, now that the shoe's on the other foot... | ||
Yeah, no, 100%. | ||
Trump should absolutely... | ||
And you know what? | ||
I got two things for him to do. | ||
One, he should free all the January 6th prisoners immediately. | ||
Total blanket pardon. | ||
Scrub their records. | ||
Even the people that have been let out, they should actually be paid some sort of restitution for the unlawful torture that they went through. | ||
100%, that should be top of the list. | ||
Maybe the next thing I would do would be to promise to rebuild Asheville, North Carolina with a billion dollars. | ||
I would say we're taking a billion dollars from the weapons package from Ukraine. | ||
Instead, we're going to spend it to rebuild the state of North Carolina. | ||
January 6th, rioters expect Trump will keep a pardon promise. | ||
He kind of has to for him to retain any legitimacy. | ||
But yeah, this is another story that is definitely worth talking about. | ||
Asheville, North Carolina is like completely destroyed. | ||
And honestly, most people are like moving away. | ||
Like, I don't know if it'll ever come back. | ||
And I think if Trump wanted to do something great, he could rebuild Asheville, North Carolina from the ground up. | ||
And that'd be a huge boon to the area. | ||
unidentified
|
Welcome back, folks. | |
We're going to take your calls this hour. | ||
I'll be joined by TikToker Rathbone in the next hour. | ||
We're going to go ahead and open up the lines for your calls on what could very well be the second-to-last broadcast of American Journal. | ||
Give us a call. | ||
1-877-789-2539. | ||
1-877-789-2539. | ||
We still have a lot of stories to cover. | ||
Of course, including some shenanigans the Democrats are getting up to, like trying to appoint something like 40 new judges before Trump can be inaugurated. | ||
But it doesn't look like that's really happening. | ||
There's a lot of speculation about Trump's cabinet picks, although some of the people announced have not been officially announced. | ||
So I want to hold off and actually commenting on some of those. | ||
And we have Europe to talk about as well. | ||
Some very strange things are going on there. | ||
But I want to tell you about a website. | ||
I want to encourage everybody listening to my voice to take two minutes, not even. | ||
It takes about ten seconds to sign up for this website. | ||
It's totally free. | ||
And they're trying to keep us out. | ||
They don't want us there. | ||
But we're not going to let them keep us out. | ||
We're not going to let them gatekeep us. | ||
It is a website called Blue Sky. | ||
Blue Sky is a Twitter clone, a Twitter competitor, and we are fairly certain we know what the plan was with this. | ||
Basically, it's a total Twitter clone. | ||
It just looks just like Twitter, but it's called Blue Sky. | ||
It was founded by Jack Dorsey, actually, former CEO of Twitter. | ||
And it is, from all appearances, a communist Chinese front. | ||
And so the plan was, should Kamala Harris have won the presidency, to shut down Twitter, shut down X, by attacking Elon Musk, by, you know, in one form or another, doing what Brazil tried to do, | ||
and shut down X. And so before they did that, they had to have an alternative set up so everybody could migrate over to, and that alternative was built, has been built, it's called Blue Sky, and it's built with the censorship program built in. | ||
So it's not enough for them just to destroy X, because then everybody will just go somewhere else. | ||
They'll probably go to Telegram. | ||
They'll go somewhere else that's uncensored. | ||
So they had to set up an alternative, then shut down X, have everybody migrate to Blue Sky, where there already is a CCP-run website, totally controlled, totally censored. | ||
Because it wouldn't make any sense to do it any other way. | ||
They've tried threads. | ||
They tried Mastodon. | ||
They tried these other, you know, X alternatives. | ||
They all fail completely because it's nothing but liberals on them and they have nothing interesting to say. | ||
And their ideas only exist in places where they can't be scrutinized or commented on. | ||
So they have this Blue Sky website. | ||
AOC is on it, and yesterday at 5pm she says, should I tell Twitter I'm here? | ||
I don't want to inadvertently cause an influx of all the worst accounts on the internet. | ||
And everybody says no. | ||
See, it was a secret before now. | ||
Nobody knew about it before now. | ||
All of the worst people in the world are still having a wonderful time laughing at stupid liberals on X. Little did we know they'd all been migrating over to Blue Sky. | ||
Now, here's where it gets interesting. | ||
Yeah, in the story from The Verge from yesterday, Blue Sky adds 700,000 new users in a week. | ||
So they're already moving over. | ||
They're still probably going to try to shut down X one way or another. | ||
But what we want to do is everybody listening to my voice can go to Blue Sky Social Media. | ||
Just search it, Blue Sky Social, B-S-K-Y dot app. | ||
You can sign up for free. | ||
It takes like two seconds. | ||
You just have to have a valid email address. | ||
We want to thank AOC for telling us about it. | ||
We would never have known about it if not for AOC letting us know about this wonderful new platform. | ||
Because obviously, the lefties don't want a bunch of MAGA chuds, a bunch of alpha male cool dudes showing up at Blue Sky. | ||
And they're probably going to get really mad at AOC for being the one who brought us all over there. | ||
So go thank AOC and congratulate her for being pregnant. | ||
We're very happy. | ||
She's about to welcome a child to this world. | ||
Obviously, we don't want to harass her. | ||
We don't want to be mean to her. | ||
We want to thank her for showing all of us MAGA chuds how to go to Blue Sky and sign up. | ||
Now, fair warning. | ||
It is, again, a... | ||
It's a cesspit, but it's a particular Democrat cesspit. | ||
You know what a cesspit is? | ||
It's an open latrine, right? | ||
But Democrats have this way of taking an open latrine and then covering it in flowers. | ||
And it's almost more disgusting that way. | ||
You know what I mean? | ||
So it's like, this whole website is like, wow, I just love everybody being so friendly. | ||
And half of the posts are like, just anime furry pictures, just weird drawings. | ||
It's all very flowery and friendly and cute. | ||
And then it's like a friendly, cute picture of a dog person. | ||
And then... | ||
You know, a graphic image of a woman cutting a man's head off, and it says, my body, your choice. | ||
And it's like, oh my god. | ||
You know, MAGA chuds in the wood chipper, and then a beautiful, lovely drawing of Batman pregnant with Superman's baby. | ||
It's crazy. | ||
When I got onto Blue Sky for the first time, the first thing I saw was a very detailed drawing of Batman pregnant with With Superman caressing his pregnant belly, as I assume the father of the trans demon monster in the belly. | ||
I don't know. | ||
It's just, it's a very weird place. | ||
It's a weird place that they don't want us to know about, but now we know about it. | ||
So let's take it over. | ||
I think that's what we should do. | ||
And so funny, there's like, I just love, I don't know why I stopped using this in the first place. | ||
Good God, it's nice to be in a digital place with other real human beings. | ||
Can anyone give me a cliff notes of what went down here over the last year? | ||
T, dev notes, big memes, whatever is best, please. | ||
That was AOC on Blue Sky. | ||
Let's see what's happened on Blue Sky over the last year. | ||
I'm glad you're here. | ||
Oh, they have video now. | ||
All right, well, they got video where they're posting Trump rallies. | ||
That's cool. | ||
Okay, what else has happened? | ||
Welcome back. | ||
Billionaires running the country for profit. | ||
Okay, so nothing. | ||
So nothing has happened. | ||
Since AOC left and has now returned, your guess is as good as mine. | ||
My Blue Sky timeline has been largely quiet in the last couple days, so nothing. | ||
So absolutely nothing happens on Blue Sky worth anything to anybody, is what I'm learning. | ||
Posts are called skeets. | ||
So apparently instead of a tweet, it's a skeet. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay, there you go. | |
And it's like, leftists are so funny. | ||
They're like, Blue Sky's better. | ||
They're like, yeah, there it is. | ||
Yeah, that's the one. | ||
That was the first thing I saw signing on Blue Sky. | ||
This type of brilliant content that awaits you from the real human beings. | ||
You know, it's just so great being around real human beings who draw their childhood comic book characters as gay, pregnant, trans men. | ||
It's just real human beings, really. | ||
So it's all just this very cutesy, flowery, sickening hate is what we witness, right? | ||
Cute little drawings of flowers to deal with my crippling depression. | ||
And then we're going to pee on Trump's head. | ||
You know, it's just bad. | ||
It's just bad. | ||
But you should go there. | ||
You should go there and say hi. | ||
Hello, less hateful world. | ||
Apparently Jack Smith is on here. | ||
I don't know if that's real or not. | ||
But they're like... | ||
Are you crying? | ||
No, I'm having logical action. | ||
To what? | ||
To life. | ||
Yeah, so cutesy cartoon, weird, vaguely pornographic drawings, and depression memes. | ||
What more could you want, folks? | ||
That's what X has really been missing, I think. | ||
Yeah, they say, uh, they're like, Blue Sky is better because it doesn't have an algorithm. | ||
Of course it has an algorithm. | ||
What are you talking about doesn't have an algorithm? | ||
When you sign up, it's like, make sure to like posts so we know what to put in your feed. | ||
What do you mean it doesn't have an algorithm? | ||
These people are, this is what I mean, they just, they don't understand anything. | ||
They think Blue Sky doesn't have an algorithm. | ||
It's a social media feed. | ||
Just letting you know, this is where they're coagulating. | ||
This is where they're gathering to, you know, draw their sexual fantasies and rage at white men for existing. | ||
It's really incredible. | ||
Okay, but this is actually where it gets interesting. | ||
So that's Blue Sky. | ||
It's a new social media site. | ||
They want to shut down X and migrate everybody to Blue Sky because it has the very strict censorship regime in control. | ||
But it has an interesting history, this website, Blue Sky, with the monarch butterfly appropriately as their logo. | ||
It was... | ||
Apparently an initiative at AT Protocol, a decentralized social network protocol in which multiple social networks, each with its own system of curation and moderation, interact with social networks. | ||
It was founded by Jack Dorsey, but now it's being run by CEO Jay Graber. | ||
Jay Graber. | ||
Okay? | ||
It's this person. | ||
Sounds like a very normal name if you hear it. | ||
Doesn't belong to a normal person, though. | ||
It belongs to a Chinese woman whose actual name is Lan Tian. | ||
And what they say is that she, in 2015, started working as a software engineer for Scoochain in Mountain View, California. | ||
She worked as a factory where she soldered together Bitcoin mining equipment. | ||
She was like on her hands and knees soldering metal together. | ||
She's like a blue-collar type of worker. | ||
Back in 2015. | ||
In 2016, she's working as a junior developer for Zcash Cryptocurrency. | ||
2019, she founded an event planning website called Happening Inc. | ||
And then in August 2021, Graber became the first CEO of Blue Sky, a microblogging social platform and public benefit company. | ||
Which is another interesting term. | ||
That's like a company where ESG is part of their founding documents. | ||
We're a public benefit company. | ||
So yeah, we're for profit, but what we do is benefiting the world with the help of the World Economic Forum and BlackRock. | ||
So she's this 33-year-old woman from Tulsa, Oklahoma, who has now been made CEO of this multi-billion dollar Twitter clone startup that has never made any money whatsoever. | ||
There's no advertising on it. | ||
It has purely been propped up by either venture capitalist investors, but more likely from CIA state-run front companies. | ||
It had been conceived of as a new initiative by Twitter's original owners in 2019, but involved to become Twitter's main rival following the 2022 acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk. | ||
So it was founded by Jack Dorsey, got billions of dollars, has not made a single penny, but still brings in a million dollars. | ||
And now this 33-year-old woman named Jay, who was a... | ||
Soldering Bitcoin mining equipment two years ago is now CEO of this multi-billion dollar company. | ||
Here's where it gets interesting, though. | ||
Her real name is Lan Tian, which means blue sky in Mandarin Chinese. | ||
What a coincidence, huh? | ||
What a coincidence, am I right? | ||
This just totally, you know, unrelated person just happens to be named Blue Sky. | ||
Her name is Blue Sky in Mandarin Chinese, and she just so happens to become the CEO of Blue Sky four years after it's founded by Jack Dorsey with a resume that is completely empty. | ||
Totally no experience whatsoever. | ||
Now she's CEO of Blue Sky at 32, and her name is Blue Sky. | ||
She was born in 1991 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the daughter of a Chinese mother who worked as an acupuncturist and a Swiss father who teaches mathematics. | ||
Her mother, who grew up in China during the Cultural Revolution and immigrated in the 1980s, named her Lantian, meaning Blue Sky in Mandarin Chinese. | ||
So I think what I'm seeing here is a CCP-aligned deep state system. | ||
Internet ghetto being built. | ||
I think that's what we're dealing with. | ||
I don't think it's coincidence that the current CEO of Blue Sky was named Blue Sky by her Chinese mother who fled during the Cultural Revolution. | ||
Just some interesting things to think about here. | ||
Okay? | ||
And again, it's a public benefit corporation. | ||
A benefit corporation is a type of for-profit corporate entity whose goals include making a positive impact on society. | ||
Yeah, ESG from the ground up. | ||
You guys, if I can get the call screen up, I don't want to go out to calls here, but I got a lot of videos to go to as well. | ||
But that's Blue Sky. | ||
Go make an account and thank AOC. Let everybody in AOC's follower list know that it was her that sent you. | ||
It was AOC that brought you to Blue Sky to ruin it with the truth and facts and reality. | ||
Because remember, their ideas cannot exist with opposition. | ||
They have to flee places like X because there's not censorship there and their terrible ideas and their outrageous lies get exposed. | ||
unidentified
|
They're afraid of the community notes. | |
They're afraid of the other users. | ||
They need a safe space. | ||
They need a safe space where their lies and distortions and, frankly, delusions can go unchallenged. | ||
unidentified
|
Harrison, I'll take Echo Chambers for $500, please. | |
That's what they should have called it. | ||
They should have called it the Echo Chamber. | ||
That would have been an appropriate name for this leftist Twitter clone that they're clearly setting up with the help of deep state actors with billions of dollars. | ||
And they're very concerned that MAGA supporters might find their way to Blue Sky and ruin the great vibes they have going. | ||
With the depression posting and the suicide notes and the furry porn. | ||
It's leftism manifest. | ||
Let's go to your calls. | ||
We've got Dave from State 48. | ||
Which state is that? | ||
Is that Washington? | ||
Dave, you're on the air. | ||
Yeah, calling from the belly of the beast. | ||
Maricopa County, Arizona, sir. | ||
State 48. | ||
The last one admitted before we did Alaska and Hawaii. | ||
So I've been boots on the ground since 2020. | ||
State 48 Arizona is 70% conservative. | ||
So the games that they're playing in Maricopa County... | ||
The county recorder, Stephen Richer, the Board of Supervisors. | ||
I'm sure you guys have looked at the numbers. | ||
So they've announced, AP has announced Ruben Gallego, got 1.6 million votes in the Senate race. | ||
Kerry Lake got 1.528. | ||
A Green Party candidate who I'd never even heard of until three days ago got 70,000. | ||
If you added his 70,000, Kerry Lake would win by a whisker. | ||
But unfortunately, since I work the polls, there's a zero chain of custody here, and I saw it firsthand. | ||
Election workers came on our last day of emergency voting on Monday and took ballots, both green mail-in ballots and day-of ballots in white envelopes, and they never took account of any of them. | ||
There's zero chain of custody, no accounting at all, in violation of the law here in Arizona. | ||
And I pointed out to our election team, they just dismissed it and walked away. | ||
No big deal. | ||
So what do you think is, what do you think the solution is here? | ||
I mean, what do you think is going to happen now? | ||
Because, yeah, there's been some very bizarre, sort of inexplicable decisions. | ||
Like, I think Ruben Gallego got, like, more votes than Trump in Arizona somehow, but Trump won the state. | ||
Like, the numbers just don't make any sense. | ||
They just don't make sense. | ||
So, like, what, is there a mechanism in place for a recount, anything like that? | ||
Yeah, so let me correct that, first of all. | ||
Right now, President Trump has gotten 55,000 more votes than Ruben Gallego. | ||
But Ruben Gallego got 150,000 more votes than Chameleon Kamala, just to clarify that. | ||
Which just makes no sense, right? | ||
It's abnormal. | ||
Yeah, people don't vote down ticket and then up. | ||
So now there's three states, actually, where the Senate race has more votes than the loser of the presidential race. | ||
It's never happened in history before. | ||
Statutorily, there will be a recount, but here's the challenge with a recount. | ||
And we saw this in the 2020-2021 Maricopa County Forensic Audit. | ||
You can count bad ballots all day long, you get the same result. | ||
The problem is people don't do an audit where they verify chain of custody and somebody's eligibility to cast a vote. | ||
And I've mentioned this for months. | ||
Our problem in Arizona is this. | ||
When you cross the border illegally as an invader and you get a driver's license, it's mandated that they register you to vote. | ||
If you get any social services, it's mandated by federal law that they register you to vote. | ||
Even if the applicant for food stamps that we the people are paying for as taxpayers, they check the box that says, no, I'm not a citizen, they still put them on the voter rolls. | ||
So our challenge is bad voter rolls. | ||
And that's why it takes a week to count the votes here, because the sociopathic overlords in our establishment class know what selection they want to make. | ||
They just have to announce the winner and then back it up with a false paper that they put in the system after the fact. | ||
Yep. | ||
And we have this story from Gateway Pundits. | ||
Send in the U.S. Marshals. | ||
Arizona officials caught changing the ballot totals as counting for U.S. Senate seat continues. | ||
This was just updated. | ||
Just like we witnessed in the 2022 Arizona election, election officials are openly changing the ballot totals remaining to be counted without explanation. | ||
In 2022, Democrats swept the statewide elections, despite Republicans having the strongest set of candidates in recent history. | ||
Carrie Lake was so impressive and polished that she made a name for herself nationally prior to the race. | ||
But on Election Day, Maricopa County officials sent the wrong-sized paper to precincts, essentially shutting down early votes across the metro areas, but especially in deep red districts. | ||
Democrats were somehow able to pick up over 50% of the votes that day, despite having only 17% of the turnout on Election Day. | ||
Then, following election day, 25,000 mysterious and still unexplained ballots were inserted into Maricopa County's totals. | ||
They were never investigated or explained. | ||
And now it's basically happened again, because that's what happens when people commit crime and get away with it. | ||
Rig the election and aren't punished and it's not undone and the mechanism by which they did it is not made impossible. | ||
This is similar to the 2020 election, finding that hundreds of thousands of 2020 election ballots also lacked necessary chain of custody documentation. | ||
The filing states that 25,000 ballots were added to Maricopa County's totals after Election Day. | ||
So this was revealed by a runback whistleblower in Lake's filing that hundreds of thousands of ballots did not have chain of custody documentation. | ||
So yeah, they were elected by votes without people. | ||
Just bodiless, personless, identity-less votes, putting them over the top. | ||
Which is absolutely wild. | ||
President Trump won the state 52.7% to 46.4% over Kamala Harris. | ||
But the officials in Arizona want you to believe that a majority of Arizona voters voted for Trump and then a majority voted for open borders communist Ruben Gallego, son of a cartel attorney. | ||
That's just crazy. | ||
It really is crazy that they can get away with this anywhere, but especially in a place like Arizona. | ||
Not super populous. | ||
It almost makes more sense when you have Some giant city, New York City, Philadelphia, right? | ||
Plenty of room for shenanigans there. | ||
Arizona, one of the least populous states, as I understand it, and yet they can't get anything done. | ||
But I guess... | ||
I guess that's what happens when you have an election system where it is literally impossible to verify the legitimacy of elections. | ||
Whereas our caller Dave is pointing out, there is no chain of custody anywhere in the entire system. | ||
On behalf of Cary Lake for Senate, this letter says my client requests the county provide complete transparency as to the ballots tabulated and the ballots awaiting tabulation. | ||
Further, my client demands a complete accounting as to discrepancies that have been identified in public reporting data. | ||
Specifically, the estimate of uncounted ballots went up by 14,666 today, November 8th, between reports as uploaded 1.23 p.m. | ||
MST and 3.23 p.m. | ||
MST. So that number of uncounted ballots shouldn't go up. | ||
You've got the uncounted ballots. | ||
They remain the same. | ||
And then they should be ticked away as they're counted. | ||
But inexplicably, 14,666 just appear out of nowhere. | ||
No chain of custody. | ||
No verification. | ||
So, I mean, it really is impressive. | ||
And I can't believe it actually happened. | ||
unidentified
|
Welcome back, folks. | |
We'll go directly out to your calls, but I am just amazed at the graph from Wisconsin. | ||
It's literally the meme. | ||
It's too big to rig. | ||
This is from Native Patriot, LA Native Patriot. | ||
Too big to rig. | ||
They tried. | ||
They failed. | ||
And, yeah, you can see the vertical jump there, the massive dump of Kamala Harris ballots probably in the middle of the night, and yet it didn't. | ||
Make it enough to cross that red line. | ||
Literally the too big to rig meme. | ||
I can't believe it actually happened. | ||
So well done everybody. | ||
Well done. | ||
We were too big to rig. | ||
The victory exceeded the cheat. | ||
It's a wonderful thing. | ||
With that we go back out to your phone calls. | ||
We've got... | ||
Don, Don in Michigan, I want to thank you, folks. | ||
You probably remember seeing the video at a Trump rally. | ||
It got quiet and you heard a voice in the crowd yell, buy InfoWars. | ||
And we so appreciate that. | ||
Don, I understand that was you. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, that was me, buddy. | |
I was outside bullhorning, too, plugging InfoWars before I got into the event because, you know, I couldn't bring my bullhorn inside. | ||
Well, that's amazing, man. | ||
And, you know, you represent what makes Infowars so powerful. | ||
And remember, you know, the reason they wanted to take us down was because of our success in 2016. | ||
A huge part of our success in 2016 was people like Don interrupting public events, calling Bill Clinton a rapist, going, you know, in front of CNN cameras and yelling that or wearing the shirt, the Bill Clinton rapist shirt. | ||
It's the audience that recognizes the power of InfoWars and the influence of InfoWars and gets involved and becomes a necessary part of InfoWars. | ||
So, you know, you doing that was, again, just a throwback to what has made us so powerful, so feared, and so attacked throughout all of time. | ||
So thank you for that, Don. | ||
What was the reaction when you yelled that out? | ||
unidentified
|
It was quiet because it was a medical event. | |
Somebody needed some water or something, but as soon as I yelled, why don't you buy InfoWars? | ||
Some lady goes, yeah, InfoWars! | ||
And a couple people clapped. | ||
I was like, that was cool. | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
And it was in Traverse City, Michigan, too, and that's leftist central. | |
And it was a pretty packed house either way, right? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, there was a couple thousand people that left already because he was coming from Houston after doing Joe Rogan. | |
He flew to Traverse City and still did that event, and there was probably a couple thousand people that left, but it was still packed. | ||
It was still packed. | ||
I wish I could have took the InfoWars info wagon up there. | ||
We're looking at it right now. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I wish I could have took it up there, but I don't know. | |
They might have smashed the windows out. | ||
It is pretty left up there in Traverse City, Michigan. | ||
It's like taking it to Portland or something. | ||
Well, you're operating behind enemy lines here, and we so appreciate it. | ||
Again, it's like I cannot express how much we appreciate our audience. | ||
It's unlike any other audience in the world. | ||
You guys are so committed, and it's just an honor, honestly. | ||
It's just amazing. | ||
unidentified
|
I pray for you guys every single day, buddy. | |
Every day. | ||
Well, thank you for that. | ||
And genuinely, thank you. | ||
It means a lot to us. | ||
And of course, we pray every day as well. | ||
And we wouldn't be anything without you. | ||
But you just think about how many other alternative media sites out there. | ||
Nobody has the loyalty and the energy and the enthusiasm of the InfoWars audience because you guys are really a part of something special on the tip of the spear. | ||
unidentified
|
To listen to you guys on shortwave radio, man. | |
I've been listening a long, long, long time. | ||
I know you're going to continue on with Moonbase and American Journal. | ||
I know Alex Jones is going to continue on and everybody. | ||
But if the company is shut down because some jerk-off buys it or something, I'm going to be sick to my stomach, Harrison. | ||
I don't know what I'm going to do, bro. | ||
Well, you'll be alright. | ||
We'll continue to... | ||
I mean, they can get their symbolic victory. | ||
They can get their trophy for the mantle. | ||
But we will continue on. | ||
And, you know, if they want to waste a couple million dollars to buy this old equipment so we can get new equipment in our next iteration, Godspeed to them. | ||
Don't let it upset you personally, Donna. | ||
It's upsetting, of course. | ||
It's very... | ||
It's very upsetting, but in a way, it's like almost appropriately. | ||
We've won the info war. | ||
And it's almost like the information phase of the Great Awakening is pretty much over at this point. | ||
I mean, with Elon Musk and Donald Trump and X opening up to free speech, I mean, we have changed the conversation forever. | ||
We've changed the course of human history forever. | ||
In an irreversible way. | ||
And you have been a key aspect of that. | ||
We could not have done it without you. | ||
And we couldn't have posed a threat to the system without you being involved and taking it to the streets and understanding that we're not just spinning slogans when we say you are the resistance. | ||
It's a call to action knowing that this is not something to be observed. | ||
This is something to participate in. | ||
It's a participation activity. | ||
unidentified
|
I wish you and McBreen and a few of the others would have went over to the Summer Bash the next day. | |
It was nice hanging out with you at the Vulcan and stuff, but a lot of you guys didn't get to the beach the next day. | ||
I would have liked to have seen everybody. | ||
I know Alex wasn't coming, but I would like to see you and McBreen and a few others. | ||
Well, here's the good news. | ||
Once we get through this bankruptcy stuff, whatever happens one way or another, either we continue with a good owner or we have to, you know, collapse and reform like the Iron Giant. | ||
Whatever happens, you know, hopefully in the future we'll have this albatross off our neck of the lawsuit and we'll be able to do more events, we'll be able to travel more, and we'll be able to actually, you know, have control of our own finances again. | ||
It'll be nice. | ||
We're coming to the end of a... | ||
Eon, but we're entering into a new and glorious age. | ||
So thank you so much, Don, for everything that you do. | ||
Brilliant, as always, and we so appreciate it. | ||
Let's go to Michael in Mississippi now. | ||
Michael, thank you for calling in. | ||
You're on the air on line one. | ||
Go ahead. | ||
unidentified
|
Hey, can you hear me, Harrison? | |
I hear you now. | ||
unidentified
|
All right. | |
How are you, man? | ||
Good. | ||
unidentified
|
Good, man. | |
I just wanted to call and say thank y'all so much. | ||
Y'all have been a catalyst for free speech and... | ||
I don't know if you remember, but three years ago I called into your show to talk about the vaccine mandate, and you just allowed me to speak my voice freely in a world that was slowly getting rid of our speech. | ||
And I just want to say God bless you for that. | ||
Y'all have been a big key in this great awakening, and I just want to pray for blessings over Infowars and I want to say, if Satan can even take anything from y'all, God will return it tenfold, so y'all have nothing to worry about. | ||
Well, thank you very much, and being able to give people a platform It's such a fun thing and honestly it's like it's so unique it's not something you see on streaming shows it's like this kind of old-school thing back in you know the days of talk radio you know it's not something you see with with streamers very often but we do it and it just means that anybody from anywhere in the world can call in and we'll put you on there on the air we really don't screen calls we ask you your name we ask you what you want to talk about but honestly | ||
people want to call in and argue we're probably more likely to go to them quicker And in part, it's almost like a narcissistic thing for me. | ||
It's like a confidence thing. | ||
It's like, I'm gonna say all this crazy stuff. | ||
I'm gonna say all this sort of outlandish and out there stuff. | ||
And you might think it's crazy, but then I'm gonna open up the phone lines and you're gonna get to call in. | ||
If I'm wrong, you get to try to prove me wrong. | ||
That's the thing. | ||
It's a way of going, come test me, come try me, come try it out, right? | ||
Here, I'm going to say all this stuff, and if it sounds crazy to you, give me a call and tell me why. | ||
Because you're not going to be able to, because what I'm saying is, as crazy as it sounds, the absolute truth, and we're actually just paying attention to what's going on in the world and giving you our analysis of it. | ||
So, opening up phone lines is just such an important part of this show and the Infowars community as a whole. | ||
It's a... | ||
I love doing it. | ||
So let's go to Moore. | ||
Thank you so much for that call, Michael. | ||
Let's go to Tim in Seattle on Line 7. | ||
Thanks for calling in. | ||
Tim, you're on the air. | ||

|
How's it going, Harrison? | |
I can't believe that this moment has happened where you guys have put America and probably humanity over such a finish line, but at such a great cost that we're going to lose InfoWars. | ||
You know, you guys deserve Nobel Prizes. | ||
You deserve plazas of statues. | ||
Dedicated in your honor and your efforts. | ||
And again, if America can really sit back, where in the heck would we be if it wasn't for your guys' courage? | ||
Where would we be right now at this moment? | ||
Would we be four years or eight years past a Hillary strike? | ||
Because she was threatening to nuke the United States. | ||
I mean, you guys got Trump elected three times. | ||
So God bless Infowars. | ||
I'm really, really just so proud of you guys. | ||
Thank you so much. | ||
Well, thank you. | ||
And I'm lucky just to be in this sort of unique position where I can brag about InfoWars knowing that I haven't been here that long. | ||
It's all Alex Jones. | ||
Really, it's all glory to God, the audience, and Alex Jones because he really put all this together. | ||
So I feel the same way. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, no. | |
You guys, no, no, no. | ||
Harrison, tip me your hat, brother. | ||
You did a hell of a lot. | ||
I don't agree with a thousand percent of what you're saying, but your voice, Owen's voice, The production staff, everybody that made information cool and sexy again, you guys put that effort forth and it worked. | ||
So hats off to Harrison Smith. | ||
Definitely. | ||
Well, thank you very much. | ||
I do appreciate that, but it's just... | ||
I just feel lucky. | ||
I just feel lucky to be a part of it at all. | ||
So thank you so much for that and what I consider unearned but deeply appreciated praise. | ||
Thank you so much, Tim. | ||
Let's go to Sean in California now. | ||
You want to talk about the Recount and Blue Sky platform. | ||
Go ahead, Sean. | ||
You're on the air. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, Harrison. | |
I kind of want to now lean more into the Blue Sky things that you opened up that portal for us, but This recount issue, with the Harris campaign, $20 million in debt. | ||
I haven't seen the Democrats. | ||
This broke since Barack Obama bankrupted them. | ||
So that's going to have some very interesting consequences. | ||
We should be looking at what dark money is flooding into these recount challenges. | ||
And just on principle, unite behind the candidates that are good MAGA Republicans. | ||
As far as supporting them to beat whatever recounts are attempted, you know what I mean? | ||
Yes, and you remember that the thing with Obama leaving the Democrats bankrupt was that Hillary Clinton swooped in and paid off their debts, and that's how she basically gained control over the DNC. Remember, the head of the DNC previous to that was Tim Kaine. | ||
They made a deal to where, okay, you give us control of the DNC, you get to be vice president, we'll pay off the DNC's debt, and then you can rig it against Bernie for us. | ||
So that had a lot of consequences, the fact that Obama left them bankrupt. | ||
It gave Hillary Clinton basically total control over the DNC, which is, I wonder if that's why Trump was offering to pay off their debts. | ||
He's like, hey, for the sake of unity, I'd be happy to pay off the debts from the horribly run Democratic campaign, a billion dollars, and they still left $20 million in debt. | ||
So yeah, that was a big deal when Obama left them bankrupt, and a similar thing is happening here. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep, and that's what got the Bernie bros to go over to Trump when Bernie got screwed because of the financial politics there. | |
So when it's all around like a corporation, you've got to be in the black or be in the red. | ||
Sometimes being in the red is going to determine who's running the whole show. | ||
But this Blue Sky thing, you have something interesting here, or maybe you did reference it. | ||
It turned out when they created it originally, it was invite-only. | ||
So I love how... | ||
I just looked at it here. | ||
There's two quotes here. | ||
I'm not going to give out the names of these people, but this sums up their platform completely. | ||
Life is too short to argue. | ||
Block them and sleep peacefully. | ||
And then right below that in the feed it says, the people who wound us get no say in how we clean up the blood. | ||
These folks are freaking lunatics, my friend. | ||
I think some Pepe and some Infowars and things would be a nice way to brighten their day up. | ||
What do you think? | ||
They need joy. | ||
We will bring them joy, whether they like it or not. | ||
unidentified
|
Challenge accepted. | |
Yes, I challenge all of you. | ||
Go make a Blue Sky account today. | ||
This is a great sort of similar juxtaposition that you're talking about here. | ||
Timothy Lassley posted this. | ||
Mark Cuban posts, hello, less hateful world. | ||
And then immediately under that, good morning, Blue Sky, with F Trump on the sunglasses. | ||
Hello, less hateful world. | ||
But also F Trump. | ||
At least kill the MAGA chuds. | ||
It's like, okay. | ||
All right. | ||
Psychos. | ||
Total psychos. | ||
Thanks so much for the call, Sean, as always. | ||
Some more calls here. | ||
Kurt in Indiana. | ||
Hasn't I told you so? | ||
Did you tell us so, Kurt? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I did. | |
Last Thursday, I think it was. | ||
I called in and warned you that maybe the... | ||
The election, you know, all the euphoria was maybe just a little too early. | ||
A touch. | ||
A touch too early. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Yeah. | ||
And, I mean, Joycelyn Benson, you know, she come right out and said, hey, the machines are flipping the votes. | ||
I mean, you think that they've done that on purpose, or was it just by accident that they come out and admitted that on national TV? And then another thing, you can look at the vote totals in each state for president. | ||
The total votes cast for all candidates for president, senate, house, governor, and the representatives. | ||
And when you tally all those up, you're going to see some huge discrepancies. | ||
50,000 here, 67,000 there. | ||
And they've done it in multiple... | ||
I've done several states, Minnesota, North Carolina, Virginia, Michigan, Indiana, and even Indiana, which... | ||
I would say would be a little more honest of a state as far as an election result, still had some discrepancies in vote count. | ||
And nobody goes in and juke votes for just one person, you know? | ||
Yeah, that would be very weird to do that. | ||
And look, I mean, all we can say is that it has to be a top priority. | ||
For the Republicans at this point to just completely reform the election system. | ||
Just nothing short of total eradication of mail-in ballots in person on the day Paper ballot voting. | ||
It's the only way to go. | ||
We cannot survive another election where we have absolutely no idea how many people are voting, who's on the voter roll, where the votes are coming from, whether they're legitimate or not, trying to match signatures. | ||
I mean, it's just, it's absurd in person on the day. | ||
unidentified
|
I'd even be happy with the thumbprint idea. | |
I think the thumbprint idea is good. | ||
I mean, that's where we're at at this point. | ||
We got to go back and we don't need to, you know, I guess we got two paths to take. | ||
You can either embrace technology and have some sort of blockchain, Bitcoin-style voting system where you can just audit it totally. | ||
It's permanent blockchain-style. | ||
Or you can do an election like they do in third-world countries that are voting for the first time in their history, like the voting in Iraq where you have the thumbprint with the ink. | ||
That would be a good way to do it, too. | ||
It's like innumerable, the number of things that are messed up about this election system. | ||
And we'll see how the recount goes. | ||
I don't think it's going to have a big effect one way or another, but we'll keep an eye on it. | ||
Thank you very much for that call, Kurt. | ||
Let's go to Will in California now on line 10. | ||
Go ahead, Will. | ||
QAnon and DAnon. | ||
DAnon, BlueAnon, whatever you want to call it. | ||
Go ahead, Will. | ||
You're on the air. | ||
Yeah, Harrison, yeah, I thought it was a very interesting first few segments you did with all these TikTok videos of Democrat conspiracy theorists claiming they've got premonitions that the election was actually stolen, you know, with trust the plan and hold the line. | ||
The DNC is allegedly texting keep the faith while Kamala's team is signaling a recount. | ||
They've caught the desperate hopium syndrome. | ||
With accusations that Elon Musk's Starlink has obviously interfered with the election machine somehow that aren't connected to the internet, by the way. | ||
Sounds just like us four years ago. | ||
But now maybe the Democrats will finally demand paper ballots, hand-counted, one-day voting, and proper ID. Wouldn't that be something? | ||
I gotta disagree with you there, Will. | ||
That sounds nothing like us. | ||
We had proof. | ||
We had evidence to point to. | ||
We had example after example after example of the ways where they very clearly cheated that can be determined statistically or with the evidence on video or with signed affidavits of people involved in the process. | ||
So you can say it sounds like us in 2020, but it doesn't really, does it? | ||
And that's the thing. | ||
You gotta leave the conspiracy theories to the professionals, folks. | ||
These people, they don't know how to do it. | ||
They don't know how to theorize. | ||
They don't understand what conspiracies are. | ||
They literally have nothing to go on. | ||
No evidence. | ||
No people to point to. | ||
They're just like, I have a feeling and it's all coming down. | ||
Trust me, stay tuned. | ||
And it's like, that's not even a conspiracy theory. | ||
That's just a delusion. | ||
It's just a dream. | ||
A wisp. | ||
A hallucination. | ||
It doesn't even rise to the level of conspiracy theory, Will. | ||
Well, that's the whole idea, tongue-in-cheek. | ||
Finally, what goes around comes around. | ||
But you know what? | ||
Your guys in the back made a great comment that we must demand a thorough investigation of anybody wearing a Harris-Waltz t-shirt or sporting a Harris-Waltz yard sign. | ||
We've got to investigate these people. | ||
But finally, a masterful 4-D chess move by conservatives. | ||
Don't tell Matt he makes great points, Will. | ||
Don't encourage him. | ||
No, I'm kidding. | ||
Yeah, no, I completely agree. | ||
Yeah, it's very ironic. | ||
And it's so funny even hearing them go, you know, I didn't want to question the election because then conservatives would have like come out with their BS like, you know, oh, now it's okay to question the election. | ||
It's like, yeah, we're going to point out your... | ||
Hypocrisy, yes. | ||
Your blatant hypocrisy is on display for everybody to see. | ||
Yes, we are going to be mocking that. | ||
Thank you. | ||
You could not be a hypocrite. | ||
You could not be a despicable liar, but you're going to keep doing that, so we'll keep laughing at it, I think. | ||
Thanks for the call, Will. | ||
Very good stuff. | ||
Let's go out to Jordan in New Jersey. | ||
Jordan, you're on the air. | ||
Thanks for calling in. | ||
Hi, Harrison. | ||
I... I just wanted to say I have a maximum alert message to everybody out there. | ||
We're in a constant state of red flag fire warnings out here in the Northeast. | ||
It's just Northeastern New Jersey I'm calling from. | ||
We've had a spraying campaign from September 11th all the way up to the President. | ||
If you go online, you'll see there's fire alert warnings all over the East Coast. | ||
Most notably, all through the New York metropolitan area. | ||
Now, I want to harken back to the Canadian wildfires a couple years ago, which caused basically hysteria in this area as the winds pushed it right through New York. | ||
Remember, there's pictures of the Empire State Building. | ||
All over in Jim. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So, I want to state, and this goes to a post that MJ Truth Ultra put out on X. I think about them amassing various resources in Michigan, which is also under a lot of red flag fire alerts right now. | ||
I've also experienced a lot of geoengineering operations. | ||
That there is a great possibility that this whole, you know, don't let them in movement where they have Biden either die or step down or have Kamala somehow get the presidency will be also, you know, | ||
they'll also mete out a bunch of I've been charting this. | ||
And if you look at the MJ Truth Ultra post, if you go to that X handle, which I responded to and posted my evidence of the spraying campaign, which I've been taking with telephoto lenses and so forth, they've been repurposing old military installations. | ||
And they've been launching various operations from here, preparing for it. | ||
They have, and I actually have that video, so we'll go to that now. | ||
Thank you for bringing it up. | ||
Yes, MJ Truth Ultra posted it, and it's 350 semi-trucks full of equipment is being stored at a decommissioned Air Force Base in Michigan to cover six counties. | ||
Let's watch that now. | ||
Oh, clip number 14. | ||
unidentified
|
There's not much change other than our projects are moving along. | |
Next would be the airport report. | ||
That would be me. | ||
The airport was just notified that FEMA has chosen the airport facility as a stationing hub. | ||
For emergency services through FEMA, they will be serving six counties in this area, and they will be bringing in some 350 semi-trailers with equipment. | ||
The park on the base. | ||
Also, if you see a lot of trucks coming into the base, that's what it is. | ||
It's nothing to get scared about. | ||
They're staging for emergency situations in any of these six counties that FEMA takes care of. | ||
And Mr. | ||
Freeman is in the house. | ||
I'm not sure if there's much more of that. | ||
We can take it down to that. | ||
That's the information you need to know. | ||
Do you feel comforted? | ||
He told you not to be scared. | ||
Don't be scared. | ||
We're just going to lay the first aid kit out here. | ||
I'm going to lay some towels on the ground to pick up the blood. | ||
But don't worry. | ||
Don't worry about it. | ||
Don't fear. | ||
It's totally normal. | ||
It's totally normal. | ||
350 semi-trucks full of equipment being staged in Michigan ahead of some potential emergency. | ||
It's totally normal, though. | ||
350. | ||
350 trucks. | ||
That's a lot of trucks, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
I can't even imagine that many trucks. | ||
What are they full of? | ||
What's in the trucks, I wonder? | ||
And remember, you know, one of the top stories over this weekend was the fact that FEMA was caught actively and deliberately and explicitly discriminating against Trump supporters in North Carolina, where they sent out text saying, avoid houses, or I'm sorry, in Florida, avoid houses with Trump signs. | ||
So, I don't trust FEMA. You shouldn't either. | ||
And we should probably be a little bit scared, maybe just a little bit, with 350 trucks for an unknown purpose being staged in Michigan ahead of some unknown event. | ||

Where do you think George Lucas got that plan for his student film in the 60s and his first movie in the early 70s? | ||
Well, Lucas has talked about it before. | ||
unidentified
|
I was always struck with the fact that we were living in the future. | |
If you were to make a film about the future, the way to do it would be to use real things because we are living in the future. | ||
Those were plans being floated around since the 30s at major US and European British universities. | ||
Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World in 1931. | ||
So people keep asking how I know what's coming next. | ||
Are you kidding me? | ||
THX 1138 is the actual plan. | ||

As technology becomes more and more complicated, it becomes necessary to have more and more elaborate organizations, more hierarchical organizations. | |
And incidentally, the advance of technology has been accompanied by an advance in the science of organization. | ||
It's now possible to make organizations on a larger scale than it was ever possible before. | ||
And so that you have more and more people living their lives out as subordinates in these hierarchical systems controlled by bureaucracies, either the bureaucracies of big business or the bureaucracies of big government. | ||
Excellencies, the future is already here. | ||
The future has begun. | ||
It's a new system. | ||
It changes us. | ||
Because it's a fusion of our physical, digital, and biological spheres. | ||
It's the integration of those spheres. | ||
Just think of sensors planted into our brains. | ||
The opportunities are immense. | ||
Everyone will wear white, everyone will have shaved heads, everyone will be controlled by robots. | ||
You'll be forcibly drugged and you will worship an antichrist robot. | ||
You want to live like that? | ||
That's where this all goes. | ||
It doesn't go where you're trendy and fun or in the metaverse. | ||
It ends with you as a slave of robots. | ||
The Western world after World War II had a baby boom and our populations in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the US doubled on average in the next 30 years. | ||
And now we have the biggest aged population in the world. | ||
Same numbers for Japan and China as well. | ||
China's more than doubled its population to 1.5 billion. | ||
India's the same. | ||
And so there's been a decision by BlackRock on record, and Bill Gates has given speeches at TED Talks, about this to just kill people at age 75. | ||
Is spending a million dollars on that last three months of life for that patient would it be better not to lay off the those 10 teachers and to make that trade-off in medical costs but that's called the death panel uh and you're not supposed to have that discussion. | ||
The main author of Obamacare Ezekiel Emanuel Ron Emanuel's brother has written essays and articles about how he hopes to die at 75. | ||
By the way, he's past 75 and hasn't died. | ||
He means he wants you to die at 75. | ||
They can't pay you your pension funds. | ||
They've stolen the money. | ||
And they don't want to go to jail like Bernie Madoff. | ||
They want you to die. | ||
And then he gets trendy to eat bugs and all the rest of it. | ||
You're not saving the earth. | ||
You're letting the globalists train you to be a slave as they prepare to cut off the resources, make you fight over the resources, and then phase you out and get rid of you. | ||
And yeah, Joe will tell you, he didn't know what he was doing back on the Fear Factor, Joe Rogan, that was all conditioning too, to get people to dehumanize themselves. | ||
This is a long-term, anti-human, Alien agenda. | ||
And by alien, all of this is alien to the normal way of life. | ||
All of this is anti-human, anti-life on this planet. | ||
The globalists don't want to just get rid of humans. | ||
They want the whole thing taking over. | ||

|
The world's ending and it's our fault. | |
Alright folks, that is my guest, Rathbone. | ||
Welcome back. | ||
This is the American Journal. | ||
I'm your host, Harrison Smith, M4s.com, band.video. | ||
Rathbone is a teacher, musician, and content creator who was unjustly censored on TikTok after reaching half a million followers. | ||
You can find him on X at underscore Rathbone, and that's R-A-T-H-B-O-N-E. And you can listen to his music on Bandcamp by visiting rathbone.bandcamp.com. | ||
Welcome to the show, sir. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
I appreciate you having me on. | ||
Well, it's my pleasure. | ||
And I hadn't learned about you that long ago. | ||
It was, I guess, like two weeks ago or so. | ||
Ben Shapiro reacted to one of your videos. | ||
Then you reacted to the reaction of Ben Shapiro. | ||
And I started following you after that. | ||
And I don't know. | ||
Do you think that was the beginning of the end? | ||
Just tell us about your journey on TikTok and how you got kicked off. | ||
If there was any warning, anything like that. | ||
Just what happened to you with TikTok? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I created a TikTok account about a year ago. | |
I was making a lot more music before that, as you showed. | ||
Thank you for showing my music. | ||
I was actually kicked off. | ||
I was banned from TikTok for my music videos originally because, you know, I guess because they were political. | ||
So I was just very upset with TikTok. | ||
I didn't really like TikTok. | ||
And then I got tired of making music and I said, screw it. | ||
I'll just start talking about politics. | ||
And... | ||
To my surprise, it like sort of took off and it became this big page. | ||
And, you know, it focused on anti-imperialism, anti-capitalism. | ||
But then when October 7th happened, I Just redirected all my attention to Palestine and Israel and early on it was going really well like at least I mean not all things considered but as far as the videos getting through to people I was getting a lot of engagement and feels like I was changing people's minds and people took notice and then I think about a month or two later, | ||
it just completely switched. | ||
The algorithm changed. | ||
My view count was egregiously low for the followers that I had. | ||
I felt like I was already pissed off at TikTok for shadow banning and demonetizing my channel, my page. | ||
And yeah, this most recent permanent ban was just kind of out of the blue. | ||
I didn't even think I had any violations that were like current, but, you know, it just seemed so arbitrary. | ||
There was no warning. | ||
It wasn't like, okay, you're suspended for a week or something. | ||
It was like permanently banned. | ||
And, you know, I think it really just has to do with the, you know, how Zionists control these media apps. | ||
And so that's where I'm at right now. | ||
I've just been pivoting to other platforms. | ||
I've tried joining Rumble. | ||
You know, I'm trying to post more on X now and YouTube as well. | ||
I get shadow banned and, you know, suspended. | ||
It seems like every app I just have to keep pivoting. | ||
So that's kind of where I'm at right now. | ||
Yeah, and there's a couple reasons I wanted to invite you on. | ||
It's just sort of a reflex for me when somebody gets banned unfairly, because I've seen your content, and I understand why people wouldn't like it, especially people that are fans of Israel. | ||
But it's totally legitimate criticism. | ||
It's totally valid critiques of a geopolitical situation, and that's the type of discussion that we need to be able to have. | ||
And I think it's totally unfair for somebody to get... | ||
You probably had a good source of income there. | ||
I don't know, but I know how much hard work it takes to get 500,000 followers on TikTok. | ||
I mean, that's absolutely massive. | ||
And to have all of that wiped away by some bot, there's nobody to even reach out to to ask. | ||
I tried to be on TikTok for about a week. | ||
I lasted for about a week. | ||
I really didn't last that long. | ||
So good on you for lasting as long as you did, but it's so unfair when all that hard work is stripped away arbitrarily with no way to get back to it. | ||
And so, you know, obviously just as a As a free speech standard bearer at Infowars, you know, we want to support people that are being targeted by big tech for censorship, and I think you have. | ||
But of course, we know that because of Nikki Haley told us, if you spend 15 minutes on TikTok, you become 20% more What was the stat that she said? | ||
unidentified
|
Is that right? | |
I didn't know that. | ||
Oh, yeah, yeah. | ||
During the debate, she came out with a very specific stat. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Where if you spend 75 minutes, you become 15% more anti-spite. | ||
Something ridiculous. | ||
But they've been basically trying to get censorship on TikTok on the basis of anti-Semitism after October 7th for the last year or more. | ||
And so clearly you're a victim of that. | ||
I mean, I don't know if it has anything to do with it. | ||
Do you think the fact that Ben Shapiro reacted to one of your videos has anything to do with you being banned? | ||
Because it was only about a week before, right? | ||
That he reacted to your video, and then you're taken down. | ||
unidentified
|
That's funny that she came up with this statistic. | |
I did not know that. | ||
But it tells you that they can't control the narrative, and that scares them, you know? | ||
So they have to tamp that down. | ||
But, no, the Ben Shapiro thing actually happened... | ||
Months and months ago, almost a year ago, because this was right after October 7th. | ||
And I was, you know, I was probably in November or December of last year. | ||
So, you know, getting back to my point of like having to pivot to other apps to share my content and, you know, everybody's very much... | ||
Pigeonhole to a certain app, which I respect. | ||
And so when I share something on like X, for example, people are seeing it for the first time, but really it's, you know, maybe months or even maybe even a year old. | ||
So the Ben Shapiro thing happened a while back. | ||
And yeah, he he he just I felt like he laid a golden egg for me. | ||
I mean, it was just he just made himself look like a buffoon trying to Debunk my video. | ||
And I think people saw it for what it was. | ||
And yeah, it definitely helped people like, oh, who am I? You know, like people wanted to hear from me more. | ||
So thank you, Ben Shapiro. | ||
I really appreciate all of the help you've given me. | ||
Right. | ||
And that's sort of the thing, right? | ||
If they can't argue against you, they have to censor you. | ||
If their arguments backfire, they're like, okay, we've got to find a different way to shut this down. | ||
So... | ||
And, you know, I also think it's interesting that, you know, watching some of your other stuff, and even the song that we played in the beginning of this show, we're not really on the same side politically, I don't think. | ||
I think you're pretty far left, right? | ||
Would that be a fair label? | ||
Sure. | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
So I just, I find it fascinating that, like, Strange bed. | ||
We're making strange bedfellows here because I'm anti-Israel, at least in the terms of what they're doing in Gaza. | ||
I think it's horrific and I think it needs to end. | ||
I think America is completely dropping the ball in playing our role as peacemaker. | ||
Instead, we're contributing and facilitating this horrific and ongoing series of attacks against Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and basically all of their neighbors. | ||
So it's like we're on the same side there, but we're probably at loggerheads on just about everything else. | ||
But it's along the same lines as everything else happening in politics. | ||
These divisions are maybe becoming less important or we're coming together on certain things in a weird way. | ||
Because I have the same thing, especially shortly after October 7th when I would be showing videos of what Israel is doing. | ||
People going, oh, you're on the side of AOC. And it's like, I guess. | ||
Yeah, I mean, I guess on this point I am. | ||
So who cares? | ||
They're right at this point. | ||
I mean, what does this say to you about sort of the changing nature of our political divisions? | ||
unidentified
|
It's weird times, you know. | |
I think these themes within our country are playing out at a zenith, you know. | ||
I think there's nothing really ambiguous about what Israel is doing. | ||
I think there's nothing ambiguous about a genocide. | ||
So you can't sort of... | ||
It's one side or another, you know. | ||
And I think the most important principle contradiction happening here is... | ||
Imperialism, you know, against an ethnic cleansing campaign against an indigenous people. | ||
So it doesn't surprise me that a lot of people are, you know, that, for instance, we see eye to eye on that, but we might not see eye to eye on other issues. | ||
But I think it's a very, I don't know, volatile, a very volatile time. | ||
I've never seen all of these themes being played out to Such an apex, I guess. | ||
And I think, you know, we're headed for interesting times, to say the least. | ||
Right. | ||
Yeah, no, we're in very interesting times, and it's only getting more interesting, if that's the word you want to use. | ||
unidentified
|
It's a bad word, but, you know, I mean, it's, yeah, I don't know. | |
I think it's just, people are all over the map politically. | ||
It doesn't surprise me to see how, you know, Just sort of mix-matched all these political views can be. | ||
But yeah, I'm a socialist and I'm very much against... | ||
It aligns with my values to speak out for Palestine because I am against imperialism, anti-imperialism, anti-capitalism. | ||
Those two themes definitely take precedent in my content, I guess. | ||
Yeah, that's... | ||
Does the racial aspect play into it? | ||
Because my sort of interpretation is, and I always use the phrase, like, I think AOC and these others are right about Israel-Palestine for the same reason that they're wrong about a lot of other stuff, right? | ||
So they sort of see it as the bad white colonists oppressing the poor indigenous brown people, and it's the same sort of metric, that sort of dividing line, the black and white view, that I think they apply to a lot of things here in America. | ||
But that's not how I see it. | ||
I see it as an issue of nationalism. | ||
I see it as an issue of self-determination and the right to rule yourself and anti-imperialism, as you point out, anti-capitalism in its excesses that we see on display. | ||
Do you think that's an unfair characterization? | ||
Because that's the feeling I get, that it's this racial construct of white, bad, brown, good, and they just sort of apply that to everything. | ||
And when it's applied to Israel, I happen to align with them But not because of racial reasons. | ||
I align more on a nationalistic argument. | ||
But do you think that's too elementary? | ||
Am I boiling it down to shallow? | ||
unidentified
|
I don't necessarily think so, because what you're saying is people have the right to self-determine, and that's just in accordance with international law. | |
And, you know, indigenous nationalism is a sovereign human right, so it's not like the UN or any international court of justice or any other institution is going to say that You know, these white people bad just because they're white. | ||
I mean, it's because of what they're doing, what these countries are doing, Israel and the United States. | ||
And I do think there is a racial, obviously a racial component to it. | ||
I think Israel is still incredibly racist. | ||
And I do believe the United States is incredibly racist. | ||
But I would also say that, legally speaking, the United States is denying, in the end, Israel are denying these people their right to self-determine, as you pointed out. | ||
out, but I don't agree with AOC. | ||
I mean, I don't, you know, I don't, I think liberals like AOC are very toxic and, uh, and harmful. | ||
Um, and I, you know, I don't know what her views on Israel and Palestine are, but she's got the tax, the rich, uh, dress. | ||
I remember that. | ||
Uh, it's liberal performative, performativism is right. | ||
Like it's, you know, it's, they, they, they, they pay lip service to these flowery ideals and rhetoric and it's all sounds nice, but they're materially supporting what they say that they're against. | ||
Uh, and, uh, You know, I see that with AOC. I mean, every time a liberal politician brings up the two-state solution, they're speaking out of both sides of their mouth. | ||
They're really saying that Israel has a right to incremental adventurism, you know, incremental expansionism. | ||
So, I mean, I haven't really delved into her comments. | ||
So she might be for Palestinian liberation, or maybe she says that she is, but she also supported Kamala Harris. | ||
You know, she supported The re-election of the actual administration committing a genocide. | ||
So I don't think there's any reason to pay too much attention to what she says, and let's look at what she does instead. | ||
Yeah, I completely agree with everything you just said. | ||
It's just funny that we should be on the opposite end of the spectrum, but there's nothing there that I disagree with even slightly. | ||
And I just use AOC as an example of Ilhan Omar, any of the people in the squad or any of the outspoken people. | ||
But, you know, what I see as a disconnect is like I'm for, you know, Palestinians having the right to not be in a basically a slave camp, right? | ||
In a giant open air concentration camp. | ||
And I think we agree on that. | ||
But then I also see like, you know, mass immigration into Europe as a violation of the sovereignty of those countries. | ||
And I'm just often confused where I'm like, OK, people are for Palestinian, you know, self-determination. | ||
But then they will call you racist if you say that, you know, the native Britons should have a, you know, have control of their island and not be swamped by, you know, asylum seekers coming in by the millions. | ||
And so it's, you know, to me, the consistent belief is like, no, the native people have a right to their land and have a right to be in charge of their policy. | ||
And that's true in Palestine. | ||
It's true in the UK. But then I see a lot of people agree with me on one and disagree on the other. | ||
And I just try to make sense of that and try to figure out sort of where everyone's coming from and what's What's sort of informing at the basis? | ||
What's the foundation of these beliefs? | ||
And how are we misaligned in those cases? | ||
So what would you think about that in terms of the re-migration movement in Europe and trying to send people back home, the so-called asylum seekers that have flooded Europe by the millions in the last decade? | ||
I'm on the side of the native Europeans there. | ||
unidentified
|
I would also say that it's sort of the similar argument that You know, that happens here and with the Trump administration talking about how immigrants are a really big problem. | |
But I think that we have to look at also the policies of the United States and, you know, by extension, Britain and other European countries, which are, you know, very colonial by nature, very imperial by nature. | ||
And these people are I believe that these people from these other poorer countries are seeking refuge from, you know, the devastation wrought by the United States. | ||
So I like to say that when you export bombs, you import refugees. | ||
Right. | ||
People, you know, we are, you know, basically... | ||
Pillaging the world over. | ||
I'm talking about the United States here. | ||
It's no wonder why there are caravans trying to come to the United States because we've deprived all these countries of their resources in the first place. | ||
And I think, like I said, getting back to as far as European migration or re-immigration or re-migration or however you want to put it. | ||
I think that the principal thing that's happening right now is that Palestine is being ethnically cleansed. | ||
And these people, you know, the Israelis, in quotation marks, have migrated, have settled Palestine, and they are displacing the indigenous population, whether it's through exile or whether it's through mass murder. | ||
And that should... | ||
We should give all our attention to that, because if we can't fix that, then we can't fix other injustices in the world. | ||
So, you know, I'm not sure if I answered your question thoroughly, but I would say that we have to look at the policies of those in power. | ||
Like, the United States is the most powerful country in the world, you know, and We are a global superpower and we are largely consequential. | ||
We are the biggest actor on the world stage. | ||
We are the biggest shaper of world events. | ||
So the fact that there's a huge influx of, you know, immigrants or people that are seeking asylum, I think we need to look at our own policies in every hemisphere of the world. | ||
And I think, you know, Great Britain and beyond, they're a proxy for U.S. power. | ||
They largely serve U.S. interests. | ||
So I think that might be the, you know, what I would say is missing in the equation here. | ||
Why are these people, people don't want to leave their country. | ||
People want to live in peace with their land. | ||
Like there's, you know, so the fact that they're leaving their countries in droves and trying to find a place, you know, that they can live in peace should be telling. | ||
Yeah, no, I get where you're coming from, and I agree, you know, Ron Paul called it blowback, right? | ||
You send bombs, you're going to get refugees, and that's one of the things that, you know, it seems like they play both sides, where you've got the right-wingers that are like, yeah, you know, go after the Palestinians, do whatever you want to them, and then the left-wingers are the ones going, and they can all come here, and they can all come and live here, and so it's like, you know... | ||
You got both sides sort of benefiting one another and you end up with massive wars in the Middle East and then a migrant crisis into Europe and, you know, that's going to get bad and we saw what happened with Amsterdam with this, you know, we're importing these like ethnic blood feuds from thousands of years ago. | ||
it's causing chaos. | ||
And, you know, I don't I just don't think it's it's good in general. | ||
But again, this is why I wanted to bring you on because we so rarely get leftists willing to come on. | ||
And I actually want to talk about this because I do think we have a lot of like overlapping interest or a lot of, you know, similar concerns. | ||
And definitely when it comes to the Palestinians, I think we have an outsized. | ||
Clearly, Israel wouldn't be doing what it's doing without the assurances and the money and the funds from America. | ||
So even in that we have we have a greater responsibility as being the facilitators of that attack, not just because it's it's going on and we're a power, but because we're, you know, actually facilitating it. | ||
So I'm totally with you on that. | ||
I'll watch videos and the one we played earlier about capitalism. | ||
I just get confused by this because as I look around, every major corporation is like hardcore left. | ||
They're like pushing leftism. | ||
They're the ones funding the migrant caravans because they want to get cheap labor. | ||
They're the ones who don't want to reshore manufacturing because they get slave labor in China where there is no environmental controls. | ||
So I mean, how is it that you think, and I think I don't want to put words in your mouth, but that like being on the right means you love corporations. | ||
I hate when corporations are doing this. | ||
I hate the way corporations are working with the government to do this to us. | ||
So, I mean, when you look around, do you not agree that corporations are like pretty far left at this point? | ||
unidentified
|
I completely disagree. | |
I don't think that corporations are left at all. | ||
I think... | ||
You know, the left begins at anti-capitalism. | ||
Corporations are extremely capitalist. | ||
So when you say that, you know, the corporations are owned by the left, I'm not sure what that means. | ||
Like, I don't think that George Soros or Rupert Murdoch or the Koch brothers are leftists. | ||
I don't think that the CEOs and the managerial class of executives and the board of directors, these people are leftists. | ||
So when people throw around left and right, it's good to question what their definition of this means. | ||
It's about opposing private ownership Over public resources and public property, land resources and labor, that is the socialist's perspective. | ||
I am a working class member of society. | ||
I labor to procure the things that I need to live. | ||
I'm not a capitalist. | ||
Capitalists are owners. | ||
They own the means of production. | ||
They own the private They own the private property and they exploit So corporations are part of the ownership class and they're monopolist at this point. | ||
I mean, they're the most rabid capitalists. | ||
It's, you know, reached such a zenith, like I sort of been saying, but I don't see, you know, I would I would question, you know, what's what's your answer to, you know, what's your explanation to say that the left owns corporations or that corporations what's your explanation to say that the left owns corporations or that corporations are part of Because I I would, you know, I would disagree. | ||
We're going to go to break. | ||
Can you stay on for the next segment? | ||
I do want to talk about this. | ||
I find this conversation fascinating. | ||
OK, we're going to go to break. | ||
We'll be back with Rathbone. | ||
Follow him on X at underscore Rathbone. | ||
That's R-A-T-H-B-O-N-E. | ||
Rathbone.bandcamp.com is where you can find his music. | ||
He's got kicked off of TikTok for telling too much truth. | ||
We'll be right back. | ||
Don't go anywhere. - Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
My guest is Rathbone, music teacher, musician, and content creator who is unjustly censored on TikTok after reaching half a million followers. | ||
You can follow him on x at underscore Rathbone, and that's R-A-T-H-B-O-N-E. And I think maybe we'll go to one of these videos so just people can see sort of the content that you made and why you got kicked off of TikTok. | ||
I'm not sure if this is one of your latest, but it's one of the ones I most recently saw. | ||
Here's... | ||
Here's Rathbone laying out a little conversation between the concerned citizens of the world and Israel. | ||
Let's watch. | ||
unidentified
|
You shot three-year-olds in the head? | |
But we're Jewish! | ||
You hog-tied children and executed them? | ||
Fuck you! | ||
unidentified
|
And then buried them alive? | |
But it's my favorite thing! | ||
You bombed doctors and nurses? | ||
But the holocaust! | ||
And then ran them over with tanks? | ||
I didn't do it! | ||
You bombed food relief workers? | ||
It wasn't us! | ||
You've single-handedly destroyed the entire education and healthcare infrastructure in Gaza? | ||
We have a right to defend! | ||
You bombed UN workers? | ||
You slaughtered entire families by waiting till they got home at night and bombed them at 5am when you knew they would be there? | ||
F*** you! | ||
You bombed people trying to eat food? | ||
They did it! | ||
You bombed people trying to receive humanitarian aid? | ||
We're looking into it! | ||
And you bombed the people that were trying to administer humanitarian aid? | ||
We conducted an investigation and we found we did nothing wrong! | ||
You roped off entire neighborhoods and then bulldozed over them? | ||
You're being anti-semantic! | ||
You sent drones into Gaza playing audio of children crying to lure Palestinians out and then massacred them? | ||
But like, the Holocaust! | ||
You used AI-generated kill lists and didn't bother to double-check the names. | ||
Oh, that's the Net-Sahayuda! | ||
You set up kill zones where anyone that meandered into this invisible zone was automatically targeted for death. | ||
No, no, no, no, that's the Net-Sahayahuda! | ||
Then you bombed the ambulances who were coming to help those people that were bombed. | ||
Net-Sahayahuda! | ||
You're not allowing independent investigations? | ||
It wasn't us, it was the Net-Sahayahuda! | ||
You sniped journalists. | ||
We're looking into it! | ||
unidentified
|
You killed teachers and students. | |
It's just a few bad apples! | ||
You used disproportionate violence. | ||
Now we get defeated the Gestapo! | ||
You bombed a refugee camp? | ||
Now we get defeated the Gestapo! | ||
And then ran them over with tanks? | ||
But we're Jewish! | ||
Yeah, I feel kind of bad for laughing, Rathbone. | ||
I mean, you ever... | ||
I mean, but it is crazy. | ||
It is legitimately crazy. | ||
As you pointed out in the first segment, I mean, what... | ||
They're up to in the middle. | ||
I mean, it's it is wild and it's dystopian and it's AI controlled robots bombing families. | ||
I mean, it is it's truly beyond description. | ||
And as you point out, it's like, you know, there's a different excuse for every example, but it just goes on and on and on. | ||
It's completely and utterly insane. | ||
Why do you go ahead? | ||
unidentified
|
Go ahead. | |
Sorry. | ||
I'm just going to ask why you like to use humor. | ||
I mean, I like to use humor as well. | ||
I do skits that are very similar to that actually, sort of pitch meeting skits. | ||
But why do you think humor is the right way to get this message across? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, I guess for two reasons. | |
One, I think it's effective. | ||
I think satire is a tried and true tradition to critiquing politics and, you know, awful injustices, to get people to think, to show things very simply, because there is no ambiguity here. | ||
There are many complex geopolitical events in the world, and this is not one of them. | ||
And the second reason would be I don't want to give these cowards the satisfaction of knowing that I'm appalled by what they're doing. | ||
I want to ridicule, shame them, and show people just how cowardly they are. | ||
Yeah, and of course, then you get banned for that. | ||
And I think that's completely unfair. | ||
And that's, you know, one of the reasons I wanted to have you on. | ||
And again, you know... | ||
When I hear you talk about leftism, about socialism or capitalism or whatever, like I hear a lot of people that I know in my personal life, right? | ||
Like I have a lot of friends, a lot of family members that I think think very similar to you about this stuff. | ||
And I disagree, but I get where you're coming from. | ||
And I'm glad that we're able to have this conversation. | ||
We ended off sort of talking about corporatism. | ||
And I think you asked like why I think these corporations are left wing. | ||
I guess there's all these little divisions. | ||
When I say leftist, I sort of just mean if you put a line down, they're on the left side of that line. | ||
So you might label them liberal. | ||
I'm just referring them to as on the left end of the spectrum rather than the right wing end of the spectrum. | ||
And I think it has to do with things like ESG scores being imposed from on high. | ||
The banks are actually the ones... | ||
We're really behind the push for censorship. | ||
They were the first ones to pressure social media companies saying, well, you know, we'll take your ability to take credit cards away if you don't ban certain things. | ||
And I believe it did start with criticism of Israel amongst other things. | ||
So I think, you know, you've got these corporations going for ESG. You've got corporations doing things like the tent program where they're funding the, you know, legal process to get people to claim asylum so they can get cheaper workers moved in. | ||
I think, you know, free trade and globalism Is very much a creation of the corporatocracy, the corruption that exists there, and the way they're willing to sell out the American people to save a few bucks by using slave labor in China. | ||
It seems to me like everything from just like, you know, the rainbow flag waving during Pride Month from every corporation to the fact that they are engaged in in the deliberate eradication of private property. | ||
I mean, you talk about getting rid of private property, you know, the World Economic Forum, these these big confabs. | ||
I mean, they say you will own nothing and you will be happy. | ||
They're phasing out private property as we know it. | ||
And this is being done through the corporations primarily. | ||
Right. | ||
So. | ||
You know, if they if they ban combustion engines and you can't buy a gasoline car in California, but the grid can't handle everybody's car being electric, then. | ||
Well, not everybody can own a car and it'll all be shared. | ||
It'll all be communal property. | ||
So to me, that's the corporations pushing us very deliberately towards a a post private property world, because in my view, the dichotomy is sort of between freedom and slavery or liberty and oppression and coercion. | ||
private property is like a key aspect of liberty. | ||
Like if I own a house, it's my house, you can't come in it. | ||
If I'm renting a house, well my landlord can give the keys to the cop and have them search it and they don't even need a warrant because they have the permission of the house owner. | ||
Even though I'm the one living in it, right? | ||
Same thing with cars, same thing with cell phones. | ||
I don't want you owning cell phones. | ||
You rent your cell phone, you rent your car, you rent your home. | ||
They are phasing out private property so You know, that's the corporations doing this. | ||
Isn't that in line with what you're saying is far left socialism is the end of private property? | ||
That is what we're headed towards under the corporate world economic forum, one world government sort of operation. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, the answer that I give for this kind of a point is to make the distinction first between personal property and private property. | |
And when socialists talk about private property, we don't mean your house, your car, or your toothbrush. | ||
We're talking about the means of production. | ||
We're talking about factories. | ||
We're talking about railroads. | ||
We're talking about Amazon. | ||
We're talking about The means to produce commodities fit for human consumption, which affects communities and affects the environment and affects public life. | ||
These institutions that govern public life are privately controlled by private individuals who are unanswerable to the public. | ||
They do not have to get the public's consent, but yet all the decisions that they make directly affect the public. | ||
And this is an injustice, I believe, and it is morally repugnant. | ||
This is what socialism and socialists are trying to correct, this idea that public resources should simply be under public control, not private control. | ||
I think a lot of the stuff that you mentioned about corporations are cultural stuff, like whether or not they are pro-LGBTQ or You know, other cultural examples. | ||
But really what it boils down to is that we live in a world where three Americans own more wealth than the bottom half of the world population. | ||
That's four billion people. | ||
We are at the height of excess and disparity between rich and poor. | ||
We think that this is an injustice that needs to be amended. | ||
And I think what we have to go back to is the material conditions. | ||
And I believe that you cannot have a political democracy if you do not have an economic democracy. | ||
And right now the economy is not run democratically. | ||
It's run by five corporations in a trench coat, so to speak. | ||
And so as long as the economy is arranged in a fascistic way that it is, I believe there will never be political democracy. | ||
We'll never have an actual democracy. | ||
It'll always be a corporate duopoly. | ||
I don't see how, you know, you say that private property is being phased out and, you know, We're talking about the World Economic Forum. | ||
Some of the most privileged private owners in the entire world are talking to us about how they're phasing out private ownership. | ||
I haven't heard that, but I know that these people own 90% of the public resources of the entire world. | ||
You know, and they're benefiting and they're exploiting our labor. | ||
And that's what I think it would be weird. | ||
I mean, if I was a capitalist, I would be advocating for capitalism, no doubt. | ||
You know, I mean, it's no wonder why they want to, you know, preserve it or make some slight manicure, you know, cosmetic, you know, Changes to it, but they don't want to abolish it outright because that means that their power would be taken away. | ||
But I'm a worker. | ||
I labor, like I said, I work to procure things that I need for survival. | ||
A car, a house, a toothbrush, personal belongings, those are all fit for personal consumption. | ||
And that's not what socialism is trying to take away from people. | ||
We're trying to say that something like A corporation like Amazon should be democratically controlled because it affects millions and billions of people and this power should not be concentrated into the hands of You know, | ||
15 people in the board of directors, for example, you know, that control, literally control all of the decisions and, you know, make decisions that affect the entire world in some circumstances, depending on how big the corporation is. | ||
So that would be my answer. | ||
And I'm happy to, you know, Go back and forth with you on it. | ||
I mean, it's something that I think about a lot, and I like to have an intelligent, you know, thoughtful conversation about these concepts. | ||
So, yeah, that's... | ||
And look, you know, I agree with you, and it's funny you point out, you know, the World Economic Forum, these highly elite, privileged people, and that's what we always say. | ||
We say, you know, when they say, you will own nothing and you will be happy, they mean you. | ||
They don't mean them. | ||
Like, they're going to own everything. | ||
That's what that means. | ||
And when they say you'll have no privacy, They're still, you know, meeting on some mountaintop in Switzerland and you can't get within 50 miles with a press pass. | ||
So they want total, complete, opaque privacy for themselves, but they're gonna have total, you know, real-time access to everything you do and, you know, a constant microphone in your pocket through your phone. | ||
You're right. | ||
It's completely hypocritical the way this is done, but it's a combination and it's collaboration between the government and the capitalists that are doing this, right? | ||
And again, it's one of these divisions where it's like capitalism, I see as... | ||
Just sort of an outgrowth of freedom. | ||
It's just sort of what naturally occurs. | ||
I think when people are able to make their own choices, they'll choose to trade freely, labor for goods, and vice versa. | ||
Whereas corporatism, the corporatocracy that we exist in, is exactly what you're pointing out, that there's these very few people that are really unaccountable to anybody. | ||
They're making massive sweeping changes to our society that are not beneficial to us, while it may benefit them. | ||
In the short term, at least, they're destroying everything in pursuit of this. | ||
But I think it's about control, not greed. | ||
And I think the means of production, it's like we don't even produce anything anymore. | ||
I hear means of production, I just picture buildings full of people sending emails all day. | ||
And it's like, we don't even produce anything anymore. | ||
Everything's produced in China because it can be super cheap. | ||
And just taking it back sort of to Israel-Gaza... | ||
When I look at Gaza, I see almost a blueprint for the 15-minute city that they're trying to create, the ultra-low emission zones. | ||
I mean, they're using climate change as an excuse, but essentially they want a world where you're not allowed to leave a 15-minute area around your house without permission from them, from the state, or the corporatocracy, or whatever you want to call it. | ||
Very similar to Gaza, right? | ||
They want walls around your neighborhood, and if you want to go from one neighborhood to the other, you've got to get permission first, and there's going to be AI machine guns with facial recognition technology scanning you to make sure that you have the correct permission to walk away from your home. | ||
So, you know, that's what I'm against. | ||
And I see that sort of coming down over the whole world. | ||
And they use capitalism just like they use government. | ||
But at the end of the day, it's all about diminishing human liberty, diminishing our choices, diminishing our power to pose a threat to the ruling order. | ||
And if you watch the World Economic Forum, I mean, the point of it is this cooperation between the corporations and the government. | ||
You know, one of the things, the FBI is very happy and proud of the fact that they are doing a lot of cooperation with big tech companies. | ||
Because again, just like I was saying with a landlord can give permission to the police to search your house because you don't own your house. | ||
You know, they they're circumventing the restrictions of the Constitution by getting corporations to provide your information without a warrant. | ||
So, you know, they're very sophisticated in the way that they are using both corporatism, capitalism and the government to diminish freedoms and circumvent protections from the Constitution. | ||
And they use things like climate change to convince people that scarcity is necessary is is You know, a necessary evil to save the planet when in reality it's about corralling people and controlling people and diminishing our ability to behave in the way that we want. | ||
So it's like, you know, I think we agree on a lot of this. | ||
It's just, I don't know, maybe I just have a distrust of government that's equal to my distrust of capitalism. | ||
And maybe that's different for you. | ||
Do you think that's fair? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, the whole idea of having a mistrust in government, I think, is obviously... | |
Right on point, you know, well founded. | ||
We should distrust our government. | ||
But I believe that the reason that we should distrust our government is because it's captured by capitalists. | ||
They have, like we've gone back to, like I was saying earlier, if you have, you know, a capitalist economy, you're going to have a capitalist government. | ||
And I think I think, you know, I hear you saying like corporatocracy and saying like, it's not capitalism, it's this, you know, capitalism is just freedom. | ||
But I would push back on that and say that I think capitalism always tends towards monopolies. | ||
It's predicated on the... | ||
It's predicated on the principle of infinite accumulation in a world of finite resources. | ||
That's why it's had to have traversed the entire globe, pillaging and extracting resources and turning these countries into indentured servants. | ||
That's what capitalism requires. | ||
And yes, government is controlled. | ||
Government intervenes, I should say, into the market. | ||
But I think that is by the design of the capitalists. | ||
Capitalists secretly love government intervention. | ||
I mean, you can look no further than Elon Musk. | ||
He's one of the most heavily subsidized humans on the face of the earth, and his companies would not thrive if it were not for public money and government contracts. | ||
And look at what Trump is doing. | ||
His favorite word, he said, is tariffs. | ||
It's more beautiful than the word respect, he said. | ||
And what is tariffs? | ||
Well, that's government intervening in the free market, as capitalists love to espouse the virtues of free market and laissez-faire capitalism. | ||
But in practice, it never does that. | ||
It's always controlled and regulated by the government. | ||
And, you know, that's really not – That's always been the case, I think is my point. | ||
Capitalism always needs a nanny state, basically, to bail it out of its own insolvency because capitalism is prone to collapse periodically, as we know. | ||
And every time it collapses because of greedy investors breaking the law, What do they do? | ||
They run to the nanny state to bail them out and say, we need a bailout. | ||
You know, we need billions of dollars. | ||
And then the keys are then handed back over to the people that caused the collapse. | ||
And it goes on as planned. | ||
But, you know, I think the government is always absolutely, you know, unfortunately or fortunately, the government is absolutely essential in regulating an economy. | ||
It's just a question of regulating for who? | ||
In capitalism, it's regulated for capitalists. | ||
In socialism, it would be regulated for workers. | ||
It turns out that workers are the majority of the population. | ||
So when you say that when I hear a socialist government, I hear a workplace democracy. | ||
I hear an economic democracy because we are implementing policies that benefit most people instead of implementing policies that benefit the top fraction of 1% of the population. | ||
Yeah, and I guess part of it, because it's funny because that's a very libertarian argument that the Australian economics will basically say that monopolies can't exist without government support for them. | ||
But I agree with you, right? | ||
Governments are in bed with corporations providing them monopolies or funding them or subsidizing them in the case of Elon Musk or propping them up entirely in the case of You know, the only industry we still have in this country, which is weapons manufacturing. | ||
So, you know, that's why we've got to have the markets open in Israel and Ukraine. | ||
So, again, it's funny, we agree on all this, but it seems like a part of me, and I don't want this to sound insulting or anything, because I really don't mean it, but it almost reminds me of, like, you know, I used to think that the Iraq war was over oil, but I feel like that's kind of like an old way of thinking. | ||
Now it's like, okay, it wasn't about oil. | ||
It was about this big global scheme. | ||
It was about this big, but we didn't even take the oil. | ||
It wasn't about... | ||
It's almost like, okay, maybe the old Republican Party was all about capitalism, but I think the MAGA Republicans and us in the more libertarian style of things, like, I'm a nationalist. | ||
I want terrorists as a nationalist policy, not because it benefits capitalism, like, whether or not it, whatever has to do with capitalism, I don't really care. | ||
I want it to benefit America. | ||
I want America to return manufacturing. | ||
I don't like the environmental destruction that is wrought in places like China, where we do all of our manufacturing. | ||
I don't like the capitalistic demand that we have a new cell phone every six months. | ||
I think that's a complete scam. | ||
That sort of plays into the other thing that you're talking about, which is like the infinite growth concept. | ||
But when you look at where that's causing problems now, it's things like the pension system was set up as a Ponzi scheme to demand infinite growth. | ||
And so when your growth starts to slow down because you don't have infinite resources and you don't have infinite people and your population starts to fall, well, to upkeep the pensions, they bring in, you know, a million foreigners and they say that, you know, there's headlines in, you know, Irish newspapers like, To save the Irish pension system, we're going to have to bring in 5 million people over the next 10 years. | ||
And that's to an island of 5 million people. | ||
So you've got this pension system that's predicated on infinite growth that when you don't reach that, you have to prop it up by bringing in outsiders. | ||
That only benefits the banks and the corporations that can pay them lower wages because they have a lower standard of living from the country that they're coming from. | ||
So you can pay them a little bit less, give them a little smaller apartment, and keep the difference. | ||
So, you know, I think these things, again, come largely from the government and capitalism might play into it. | ||
But when it comes to, you know, the choice between support capitalism or support the nation, I'm going to support the nation and say, I don't care if it's cheaper for you to go to China. | ||
You should have your job here because this is America and you're an American company. | ||
Again, I just... | ||
I think we have a lot more in common than we have apart, and it's interesting because we're, you know, our two sides are at each other's throats so often. | ||

|
I was about to say, you sound like an anti-capitalist. | |
Oh, I am to a certain degree. | ||
I just don't, I don't demonize capitalism as a concept because I think it's just a natural consequence of freedom, like I said, but I think, like, wars. | ||
unidentified
|
So... | |
Like, when we were in the Cold War against communism, that's when we put, in God we trust on the money. | ||
I don't think if you asked people in the 40s or 50s, like, what are you fighting for? | ||
They wouldn't say, I'm fighting for capitalism. | ||
They'd say, I'm fighting for freedom and God against this atheistic communist control grid. | ||
Capitalism just comes along with it. | ||
And I think that's been warped. | ||
Well, I think that... | ||
unidentified
|
You know, yeah, it's necessary for capitalists to have us believe that we're fighting for freedom and democracy. | |
But I would contend that what we're actually fighting for is capitalism. | ||
And when they say they're going to promote democracy worldwide, they mean promote American business interests. | ||
They mean promoting capitalism. | ||
They mean turning countries into corporate plantations. | ||
You said something about the Iraqi war and how it wasn't even pivotal for us to use the oil. | ||
And I agree. | ||
We only need to control the oil. | ||
We only need to control these resources so that we can divide and conquer. | ||
And empires... | ||
Are up to empire things, you know? | ||
So we, post-World War II, in the Cold War, we recognized that we had this newfound global power after the rest of the world was devastated and ruined. | ||
We became the sole creditor Of the rest of the world. | ||
The only thing I'll say, I'm sorry to cut you off. | ||
We're coming to the end of the show, so I gotta say goodbye. | ||
My only response will be, if this was an imperial project of America, you'd think the American people would benefit a little bit, but I think there's something else going on here. | ||
