unidentified		Breaking news, a horrific situation unfolding in New Orleans.
		Ten people are dead and dozens more hurt when police say a man intentionally drove a pickup truck into a crowd on New Year's.
		This is not a terrorist event.
		What it is right now is their improvised explosive devices that was found.
		John and Rachel, we know the driver of that vehicle who was armed is dead and the mayor of New Orleans is calling this an act of terrorism.
		At least 10 people are dead and 35 injured.
		There's a lot of information going around.
		Some of it is actually true.
		Some of it isn't.
		The federal government is now in charge of this investigation.
		By that I mean the White House, the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Justice.
		Here's what I want to ask from the federal government.
		Catch these people.
		Catch these people.
		And then tell the American people the truth.
		Now, I don't want you to tell us yet anything that's going to interfere With your investigation.
		And there's things that I've been told that I think are true that I'm not sharing with you today because it could interfere with your investigation.
		But after we get to the bottom of this, I need to tell the American people the truth.
		Rachel Wolf from the Wall Street Journal, you said you are confident there are multiple suspects involved.
		What makes you confident?
		And that is their honor.
		Like, why would we tell you that?
		The 72,000 Americans last year who died from fentanyl poisoning.
		That's more than the entirety of Vietnam.
		The entire Vietnam War.
		Migrant children pouring into our area on flights chartered by the feds.
		Former Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino says that's what you're seeing on this video from a distance at Westchester County Airport.
		And he says the number of flights is increasing.
		We have no answers about basic questions.
		Like, who's coming here?
		Where are they being settled or taken to?
		The News 4 Jack's Eye team is digging into claims that the federal government is flying illegal immigrants into Jacksonville in the dark of night as the Biden administration tries to handle the flood of people crossing into the U.S. along the southern border.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		But I see the arrogance.
unidentified		As far as the border, we're taking unprecedented action.
		We had to fix something that was broken, especially by the last administration.
		We've secured record levels, this is what we have been able to do, of funding for the Department of Homeland Security.
		You know, doing it for the sake of a headline, what we're seeing with these governors is irresponsible and it's inhumane.
		It's inhumane.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		And the evil.
unidentified		Biden and the Democrats, you tell me.
		Look at their faces.
		You tell me which one of these 20%, 20 to 40% of these children are going to go missing.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		And the corruption.
unidentified		Well, think about this, okay?
unidentified		People came into this country illegally violating our laws, okay?
marco rubio ▲ ● ▼		And the first thing they do is get lawyers and use our laws to sue an elected governor, to sue a state.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		And the chutzpah.
nancy pelosi ▲ ● ▼		We have a shortage of workers in our country, and you see even in Florida, some of the farmers and the growers saying, why are you shipping these Immigrants up north, we need them to pick the crops down here.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		And there's really not even words to describe it.
		The Democratic Party working for the UN and the globalists.
		There's a worldwide lockdown, opens the borders, floods us with tens of millions of people.
jon bowne ▲ ● ▼		That is, until stories like this bubble to the surface, as a New Mexico man was indicted for allegedly trying to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization.
unidentified		45-year-old Herman Wilson has been trying to help militant Islamist group ISIS since at least 2020. Federal documents filed by the US Attorney's Office say the Albuquerque man wanted to go to Egypt to support the terrorist organization.
		Even using the online platform Telegram to recruit others.
		A confidential informant recruited through Telegram told investigators Wilson was training them how to fight on behalf of the terrorist organization and drove them to Kirtland Air Force Base to show them how, quote, easy it was to get through security.
jon bowne ▲ ● ▼		Contrary to the fantasies of Saul Linsky's egotistical neophytes jabbering away on the idiot box, the threat is very real.
unidentified		Shamsa Din Jabbar, the 42-year-old Texas National, named by the FBI as the suspect in this case.
		A man who has been killed in a firefight with police in New Orleans.
		It's Thursday, January 2nd in the year of our Lord 2025. 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 up.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
		Welcome to the first broadcast of 2025. This is American Journal.
		I'm your host, Harrison Smith.
		Coming to you live this morning from the InfoWars headquarters here in Austin, Texas.
		We have a lot to talk about, folks.
		We've got multiple terrorist attacks around the country.
		We're going to see if we can't get to the bottom of what's behind some of these things.
		We have an interview for you in the third hour that we'll be playing that gets into ancient history and modern geopolitics and where these two things intersect.
		Bloodlines and the like.
		I'm very excited to show you that as well.
		And we will open up the phone lines for your calls in the second hour.
		But yeah, most of the show today will probably have to do with untangling the attacks that occurred yesterday.
		And so let's just get into it.
		Here it is, your daily dispatch.
		All right, here it is, folks.
		Your Daily Dispatch for Thursday, the 2nd of January, 2025. Feds probe possible military link between suspects in Bourbon Street massacre and Trump Hotel cyber truck blast.
		That's the headline at Infowars.com.
		Of course, the major and devastating terror attack that happened yesterday in New Orleans on Bourbon Street, where a truck was driven at incredibly fast speeds down Bourbon Street, killing at least 15 people and injuring dozens.
		Another was a U.S. Army veteran who drove an explosives-filled Tesla Cybertruck that detonated outside of Trump's Las Vegas hotel just hours after the Bourbon Street massacre.
		Two law enforcement sources familiar with the New Orleans truck terror ramming attack in the Las Vegas incident told NBC News that federal investigative teams are proving a potential military connection between the two individuals involved in both attacks.
		And there are a lot of similarities.
		They apparently both were at the same military base.
		They both used the same app to rent the trucks.
		And that's just the very beginning.
		Again, we'll get into that more in just a second.
		So that first attack was the attack on Bourbon Street.
		Leaving at least 15 dead and many, many more wounded.
		Just hours later, a Tesla Cybertruck burst into flames near Trump Tower in Vegas.
		Authorities treating that explosion as a possible act of terror.
		Here's the video of the explosion.
		Now, ironically, interestingly, apparently, one of the reasons it didn't do more damage was that the way the Cybertruck is constructed Explode out from the side of the truck, but rather just went straight up as the walls of the truck and the metal of the truck resisted the force of the explosion.
		Again, we'll get into that in just a second.
		Meanwhile, there was another brutal and senseless attack over New Year's Eve, this one in Manhattan in the subway system, which apparently is a literal war zone now.
		Victim in subway shoving suffered a broken skull and other injuries.
		This attack also caught on video when a man was shoved off a Manhattan subway platform and into the path of a fast-moving train.
		Luckily, he not only survived, but was able to speak from his family from his hospital bed.
		the attacker has been arrested and charged.
		His survival was a matter of inches.
		Mr. Linsky was struck by the train, but not head-on, according to two law enforcement officials with knowledge of the matter.
		He also fell next to the train, not under it, apparently saving his life, according to officials.
		Around the world, New Year's Eve was rung in under a cloud of violence and terror.
		New Year's chaos in Berlin.
		Over 400 arrested.
		37 apartments destroyed with ball bomb firework mortars.
		In one of the troubled areas of the Schoenenberg District of Berlin, youths deployed ball bomb mortar fireworks, which produced a tremendous explosion that blew out the windows of an entire apartment building.
		However, there were mass arrests, totally over 400, and 600 police investigations across the city on a night of firework chaos.
		In fact, we have a video of one of these events in Berlin, I believe.
		But really, it was all over.
		We'll get into that a little farther in just a second.
		And finally, to close out our rather lengthy list of domestic terror events.
		Plots, FBI seizes one of the largest stockpiles of homemade explosives in its history.
		Investigators seized over 150 pipe bombs and other devices when they arrested a Virginia man on a firearms charge.
		Federal agents in the U.S. found one of the largest stockpiles of homemade explosives they've ever seized when they arrested a Virginia man on firearm charges last month, according to a court filing by federal prosecutors.
		150, over 150 pipe bombs.
		And what is going on?
		And what is happening here?
		What exactly is this?
		There's a variety of different possibilities.
		Either this is legitimate terrorism, either as part of a coordinated network of operatives embedded not just in our country but in our military itself, now given the green light to attack,
		or it's a deep state plot To gin up the war against Islam that has ruined the last 20 years of America.
		Let's keep that going forever, I guess.
		No matter what, it's not looking good, and it's the inevitable consequence of what we've warned about for years.
		We'll go to a video breakdown of just some of the bizarre coincidences.
		Connecting some of these attacks.
	Clip number five.
	This was posted with the title on X. When I tell you 2025 will be the year of the PSYOP. Yeah, this is what we're talking about.
	Let's watch.
unidentified		Boy, boy, boy, when I tell you 2025 is gonna be year of the PSYOPs, believe me.
		So there was a horrific attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans on New Year's where this car plowed into a crowd of people, got out and start firing at police.
		The suspect is Shamshindin Jaipur, which is a 42-year-old real estate agent from Beaumont, Texas.
		Now, in this marketing video, he states that he's born and raised in Texas, lives in Houston, but there's a few things odd right off the bat that I found.
		Born and raised in Beaumont, Texas, and now live in Houston.
		And I've been here all my life, with the exception of traveling for the military where I spent.
		Why does this video feel like a setup?
		Because he's giving vital information about his background instead of talking about real estate.
		Mind you, this is the only video he's posted on his YouTube back in 2020 then completely fell off.
		Then his real estate license actually expires in 2023 and he doesn't renew it.
		So this screams sleeper cell to me.
		Going back to the truck, so that flag that's covered up is an ISIS flag and allegedly that's who he has allegiance to.
		Now here where it starts to get really weird.
		Ford's ex-account got hacked a few days ago saying all eyes on Gaza, Israel is a terrorist state, free Palestine.
		And Ford even made a statement saying their account was compromised and they did not make those posts.
		Then you have an attack with a Ford F-150 Lightning with an ISIS flag.
		What are the chances?
		And who could have hacked that Ford X account?
		Oh, I don't know, maybe a military IT specialist?
		But it doesn't stop there.
		This actual car was at the scene of another attack.
		Can anybody tell me why that same truck was in front of this Cybertruck that blew up in front of Trump Towers in Las Vegas?
		You can't make this shit up.
		Now, this Cybertruck pulled up, parked, and then exploded with the driver inside.
		Now, obviously, they are sending a message to Elon and Trump.
		And who would willingly pull up just to unalive themselves like this?
		Sleeper cell.
		And I find this pretty odd that Elon reposts this on his ex account saying, this cyber truck looks like the future.
		This was a response to this post saying, this cyber truck is on fire and this literally looks like the cyber truck is exploding.
		And it doesn't stop there.
		So you guys, on New Year's, the Empire State Building, the Washington Monument, Also, they said that this truck was sitting on a dealership lot on December 14th, then got bought, then got put on Turo, which then he rented.
		Not to mention that Cybertruck that was in front of Trump Tower was also rented on Turo.
		Then the Airbnb he rents actually catches on fire and dozens of people had to evacuate.
		How convenient.
		Wait, hold up.
		This is happening in the same city where the Super Bowl is happening this year, February 9th.
		Didn't the Super Bowl happen last year in Las Vegas on February 11th?
		So you have two attacks on the same day in both of these cities.
		And look at the dates.
		9-11.
		Oh, they love their symbolism.
		Now, since then, the governor declared a state of emergency in New Orleans and even postponed the Sugar Bowl.
		Now, the question is, are we really under attack?
		Because the FBI just found 150 homemade bombs in her Virginia home, which is one of the largest seizures they've ever had.
		Either way, I would keep my head on a swivel, especially if you're in a major city, because it seems like somebody's sending a message.
		I'll keep you guys updated on any developments, but let me know what you think about this down below.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		So that's a lot of coincidences.
		That's a hell of a lot of coincidences.
		One after the other.
		Coincidentally, on top of all of that, the social media landscape has blown up over the last few days with rediscovered details about the Rothrum rape gangs and grooming gangs.
		We're sort of at a...
		how do I put this?
		I feel like we're being set up I feel like this is all being coordinated deliberately to foster a desire in the minds and hearts of people in the US and the UK to go to war with Iran.
		I mean, we know that that is...
		The plan, that is like the absolute goal of our deep state and Israel's.
		It's the same thing.
		And so it seems more than a little bit suspicious to me that you have all of these attacks taking place one after another, very obviously, very deliberately branded with extreme Islam, particularly ISIS. And I think for the sake of understanding what's really going on here,
		we have to start with the premise that we are ISIS. That ISIS is no more and no less than just a creation of our intelligence.
		This has been established over and over through various facts.
		And I think that may help us sort of come to terms and understand exactly what is the underlying play going on here.
		After all, a branch of ISIS, a former ISIS commander, just took over Damascus and all of Syria under the offshoot HTS. As well as the fact that Ukraine troops fighting for us in our proxy war against Russia are being trained by and provided drones to ISIS over the last several
		years.
		We, of course, showed you the video of the AP News broadcast.
		I forgot to check.
		they forgot to notice that there was an ISIS patch on the arm of one of the Ukrainian commanders.
		And in a way, it's like, I mean, it's almost, it's almost perfect.
		It's It's almost 1984. It's like beyond 1984 that you've got this group of, you know, supposedly radical Islamist terrorists, ISIS, that is in fact, from its inception, a creation out of whole cloth of our intelligence agencies.
		Like ISIS never existed before we created it.
		We funded it.
		We are even now, as we speak, establishing diplomatic ties to the current rulers of Syria.
		It's just ISIS rebranded under a different name.
		And so in the same way that in 1984 they used Emanuel Goldstein as this boogeyman to scare people into doing what they say, we now essentially have a government-funded terrorist we now essentially have a government-funded terrorist group attacking us within the United States.
		I'm torn.
		It is one of those things, and this is what the powers that be excel in, setting up situations like this.
		Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
		Obviously...
		There's a problem here.
		There's something very dangerous happening here.
		And it's not just here in America.
		It's around the Western world.
		And that is the deliberate seeding of Islamist terror networks in every city in the Western Hemisphere.
		The coordination and radicalization of those people by our allies and our very own government.
		That's a very big problem.
		And, I mean, it's most apparent In Europe, I've got a lot of videos.
		We covered one of the stories in the Daily Dispatch.
		Clip number four.
		These are migrants purposefully shooting fireworks into random windows in Berlin.
		We can go ahead and watch that now.
		Lighting up what looks like a gigantic bottle rocket with a firework about the size of a Coke can at the end.
		Aiming it into a random apartment building.
		Oh, look, they made it in and boom!
		Explosion.
		So that's what we're talking about when we read the story from InfoWars.com.
		New Year's chaos in Berlin.
		Over 400 arrested, 36 apartments destroyed with ball bomb firework mortars.
		In one of the troubled areas of the Schoenenberg district in Berlin, youths deployed a ball bomb mortar firework which produced a tremendous explosion that blew out all the windows of an entire apartment building.
		However, there were mass arrests totaling over 400. It's not just that.
		We have video out of Milan.
		Clip 13. Here's Milan on New Year's Eve.
		Go ahead and roll that.
		It's an Arab guy talking about how there's no Europeans.
		It's New Year's Eve.
		There's thousands and thousands of people packed into the center square in front of the Duomo in Milan.
		And there's no women and no Europeans.
		It's all Arab men celebrating their total takeover of Europe.
		Other places in Europe, women did try to celebrate New Year's Eve.
		Clip number seven here.
		But following the cologne attacks several years ago and the understanding now that in big holiday events where massive amounts of people take to the streets, women are not welcome if they're not willing to be groped by the entire crowd.
		There are some women trying to enjoy New Year's Eve in Europe and just being harassed by a sea of Arab men.
unidentified		That's kind of a pretty big problem.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		A pretty big and legitimate issue that we have here.
		That much is obvious.
		But not only that, not only are these sort of naturally occurring events taking place.
		Yeah, we can go ahead and take that down.
		But yeah, a fun New Year's Eve night out in every European city.
		Every major European city.
		Completely taken over and swamped by Muslim men.
		And in Berlin...
		Where the Germans don't even try to leave their homes anymore.
		You've got Arabs firing mortars into their apartment buildings and burning them down.
		But it's not just that.
		You also have protests, I guess you could call them, taking place.
		All over the Western world.
		Clip number 10. Pro-Hamas extremists marched in New York City.
		Calling for a global infatata.
		Infatata?
		Infanticide?
		A jihad.
		A massive global jihad there.
		They were marching in New York City.
		I believe we also have footage of them marching in Toronto.
		Clip number 9. Palestinian sympathizers taking over Toronto on New Year's Eve.
		Flying their home country's flags and marching through the now conquered cities.
		So, pretty big problem if you ask me.
		Pretty overwhelming.
		And again, this coincides with a renewed discussion of the rape gangs in the UK. Which I'm still trying to figure out why this conversation has cropped up right now.
		As it's just like all over X, people talking about the absolute mind-boggling horrors of the so-called grooming gangs in places like Rotherdom and other places throughout the UK. Potentially upwards of a million English girls systematically denied justice as they allow their Pakistani interlopers to commit the most heinous crimes you can possibly imagine.
		And then they cover up for them.
		To avoid appearing racist.
		Now whether this report just dropped and people are just finding out about this, I don't get it because this is stuff that we've covered for years.
		None of this information is new, but it's definitely being talked about.
		now a lot more so so here's the deal Here's the problem that we're facing.
		We have a very real threat of Islamists.
		Muslims, terrorists, whatever.
		In Western Europe, to the point where they absolutely dominate any scene of city life anywhere in Europe.
		Where they're marching by the tens of thousands here in North America.
		Terrorist attacks being committed, killing dozens of people.
		While waving ISIS flags in New Orleans.
		All of that is absolutely true.
		God only knows, many hundreds of people on the terrorist watch list that have been allowed to cross our border and infiltrate our country to act as sleeper cells awaiting activation over the last several years.
		These are all very real issues.
		But they're very real issues caused by the very people that will now use this issue to get us to go to war with Iran.
		So what do we do?
		What do we do here?
		Because it's a real threat, obviously.
		But it seems to me like the real threat has been deliberately fostered and created, established by the very people in our deep state, in our government, that will now use the anger and outrage and Islamophobia or anti-Muslim sentiment To gain support for another or a just continuation of the endless war on terror that has utterly destroyed our country over the last several decades.
		So we can't fall for it.
		We still have to do something about this.
		So we got enemies on all sides.
		We're surrounded.
		We're infiltrated.
		And the people in our government are now activating sleeper cells that they brought over to achieve their ends, which is endless global war.
unidentified		You're tuned in to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith.
unidentified		Watch it live right now at band.video.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
		We find ourselves in an impossible situation right now.
		Not impossible, but a difficult one.
		In which our government is clearly insane.
		And is causing the very problems that they are now going to attempt to solve.
		Through the only methods that they are willing to entertain.
		Which are things like massive expansion of the surveillance state and endless wars overseas.
		So we have to not fall for that while at the same time contending with the very real threat of networks of terror cells in every western country.
		Now the only reason this is really difficult at all is because It's being done on purpose by our own establishment.
		The obvious solution to all of this is remigration, deportations, and a massive concerted effort by the federal government against the people that are actually terrorists.
		It's very interesting the similarities between the UK and the US. As the story That has dominated Twitter over the last 72 hours or so.
		There's two of them.
		There's these attacks, the cyber truck attack and the truck attack in New Orleans, Bourbon Street, which seem like incredibly sloppily coordinated attacks.
		The trucks both rented using the same app called Turo to People involved having been on the same military base, both of them in the military, and veterans.
		Like it's insane how infiltrated we really are.
		Let's go ahead and go to clip number one here.
		This is an FBI agent.
		Giving a press conference to the media about this terror attack, the truck attack in New Orleans.
		And we have some videos of the attack itself.
		It is horrifying and terrifying to see this stuff.
		I guess we'll go to some of those videos first.
		Let's go to clip number 22. Fair warning here.
		Viewer discretion advised.
		This is clip 22, footage of the New Orleans terror attack on Bourbon Street.
		Let's watch.
		You see security camera footage, and you can see the speed at which that car comes rushing down the road, probably going 100 miles an hour, if I had to guess.
		Clip number 20 is a different angle of that.
		At least 15 people have died as a result of this attack.
		Dozens more injured.
		New Year's Evil is the headline from New York Post.
		The New York Post has obtained an ID photo of the New Orleans terrorist suspect, Shamsuddin Jabbar.
		It's from Andy Ngo.
		The 42-year-old Texas divorcee and father is a U.S. Army veteran who was an information technology specialist at one point.
		Shamsud Din Jabbar, the New Orleans terror suspect, was selling firearms online.
		He listed his location as being in Houston, Texas.
		Authorities say he used a firearm in the truck ranting attack that killed at least 10 people.
		15 now is the official count.
		He was shot dead by responding police in a shootout.
		So he got out of his truck and actually started firing on police who fired back.
		Now following this...
		It was revealed that he was not working alone.
		He apparently was based in Houston, and there was a massive FBI SWAT operation carried out in Houston that people captured on drone.
		I believe we have that footage as well.
		Clip 21, drone footage from KPRC 2 News reveals a tense situation as a suspect is walked out of a building here, hands in the air, as he's being talked to by SWAT. This is the drone footage of the encounter taking place.
		So clearly the guy wasn't working alone, and they had reason to believe that Other attacks were imminent.
		Explosives were found all around New Orleans, including in the French Quarter, in the main Catholic Church there.
		So all of this would lead most people to the sort of inevitable conclusion that there are terrorist networks embedded in our military.
		Throughout our country, following the open border policy of the last four years.
		There's a story from KPRC 2 News.
		Man seen surrendering to SWAT outside of Shamsu Din Jabbar's home.
		And while it's undeniably true that there are these terror networks, there are these sleeper cells planted everywhere, The problem is that you've got the likes of Lindsey Graham out there putting out this tweet in response to the attacks yesterday.
		Lindsey Graham says all Americans are heartbroken this New Year's Day because innocent people enjoying their lives were killed or injured in a senseless cowardly act of terrorism.
		May God grant healing to the wounded and comfort to the families of the fallen.
		That's where the tweet should have stopped.
		But he goes on, over the last several years we have allowed radical Islam to regain its footing in places like Afghanistan.
		That inevitably leads to inspired attacks against our homeland and that of our allies.
		To protect America, we have to keep radical Islam beaten down throughout the world.
		If not, we will pay a heavy price at home.
		So endless war.
unidentified		Thank you.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		So our mistake was ending the Afghanistan war, I guess he's saying.
		Now, meanwhile, Israel has carried out a number of massive and devastating raids across Gaza.
		When you look at the headlines here in America about the truck attack, absolutely horrific.
		10 people or 15 people killed, dozens injured.
		Obviously a very big, devastating deal.
		And heartbreaking as you see the biographies of the victims.
		Young football players from Princeton just mowed down while out.
		Celebrating New Year's Eve, just absolutely horrific.
		You've got things like the terror attack on the Christmas market in Magdesburg.
		In Germany last week.
		I believe something like 11 people were killed.
		But then you also have to put that in context and realize in the last 24 hours over 60 people have been killed by air raids by Israel in Gaza.
		An absolute slaughter fest.
		Many, many more times people killed there.
		than in all of the terror attacks in the West combined over the last couple weeks.
		And so what's the solution here?
		We have to wage more war in the Middle East.
		We have to deploy more Americans.
		What if it's the exact opposite?
		What if our endless war in the Middle East is exactly why all of this is happening?
		And what if our endless support of the genocidal regime in Israel is the primary reason that we're being targeted?
		What if the funds that we've been pouring into the Middle East and Ukraine are going directly to funding the very attacks that we're now suffering under?
		What if all of this is very deliberate and on purpose and the inevitable consequence of a variety of different policies being implemented internationally, geopolitically, and domestically?
		I mean, could these attacks have happened without Could they have taken place without the DEI programs infiltrating places that aren't just, you know, movie studios, but life and death situations like hospitals and our military.
		Apparently this attacker in New Orleans, Jabbar, Was reported twice for his extremist religious beliefs, only to have those claims downplayed and ignored by the military out of fear of looking Islamophobic for actually investigating this.
		While at the same time, no fear of appearing Anglophobic when they publish documents and guidelines for the military saying, anybody with a don't tread on me flag or a The Stars and Bars Confederate flag, they are a terrorist and should be kicked out of the army.
		Or the FBI going after parents speaking up and raising their voices at school board meetings.
		I mean, would these attacks be possible without a combination of all of these things?
		Our militarist adventurism in the Middle East, pissing everybody off and making them hate us because we support endless murderous warfare against civilians in that part of the world.
		The funding that goes to these groups, as we are ISIS and we have been funding ISIS forever.
		The weapons caches being sent to Ukraine and then proliferated everywhere around the world as there are no controls or tracking mechanisms to figure out where those weapons go.
		And the entirety of Syria gets taken out by our ISIS allies.
		The open borders allowing the people in.
		The DEI programs that are crippling our military and our law enforcement from actually going after the real threats.
		As we are relentlessly told that white men and right-wing extremists are not just the primary danger, but really the only danger worth considering.
		And again, all of these things are reflected in the UK as well.
		All of these things have to be happening.
		for this outcome.
		And in my interpretation, it has to be deliberate, on purpose, and by design.
		Let's go now to clip number one.
		This is an FBI agent giving a press conference about the attack in New Orleans, saying it was an event, but not a terrorist event.
unidentified		Let's watch.
		We'll be taking over the investigative lead for this event.
		This is not a terrorist event.
		What it is right now is their improvised explosive devices that was found, and we are working on confirming if it's a viable device or not.
		As Chief Kirkpatrick said, we're asking everyone to stay away from Bourbon Street, specifically from Canal Street to St. Anne.
		That is my ask.
		Once again, stay away from Bourbon Street, Canal Street, all the way to St. Anne, until we can figure out what is going on.
		Our goal is to provide you additional information at the 11 a.m.
		press conference.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yes, folks, improvised explosive devices was found.
unidentified		Hmm.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, pretty crazy stuff.
		Pretty crazy stuff, and everybody is recognizing that what's happening here, again, is not something that we are incapable of dealing with.
		This is Trump's statement.
		With the Biden open border policy, I said many times during rallies and elsewhere that radical Islamic terrorism and other forms of violent crime will become so bad in America that it will become hard to even imagine or believe that time has come, only worse than ever imagined.
		Joe Biden is the worst president in the history of America, a complete and total disaster.
		What he and his group of election interfering thugs have done to our country will not soon be forgotten.
		MAGA. Again, we're going to have to take your phone calls on this.
		I just...
		It just seems so apparent, the setup here.
		You let in radicals.
		You fund the radical terrorist networks.
		You cover up their infiltration.
		Time and time again.
		Whether you even have to coordinate the attack or whether it just happens naturally, the consequence is that you drive the American people like a herd over the cliff of endless war in the Middle East and direct conflict with Iran.
		Again, we see this on display in this next video.
		We'll go to clip number eight here.
		This is a TikTok user called Older Millennial, breaking down again some of the Bizarre, seemingly purposeful shortfalls of the border agency and US military that allowed these attacks to happen.
		Let's watch.
unidentified		You guys seem to be really into the not important and not suspicious news, so let me give you some more.
		Let's talk about this dude.
		If you're unaware of who this is, his name is Asif Raza Merchant.
		He is a Pakistani national, and he recently wanted to visit the US. Now, he didn't fly directly from Pakistan.
		No, first, he went to our good old friends in Tehran.
		He flew from Pakistan to Iran, spent four days there, then flew directly from Tehran to Houston.
		Now, when he got to Houston, he ran into some trouble because Asif here is on the terrorist watch list.
		So you can imagine when he showed up...
		There were some issues.
		Luckily, Asif is a very good talker.
		I mean, he'd have to be.
		Because even though he was on the terrorist watch list and was interviewed by the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force, they decided, ah, no big deal, and gave him special permission to enter the U.S. They actually gave him what's known as Special Public Benefit Parole, which is a privilege reserved for people whose visits are so beneficial to the American people that their history doesn't matter.
		Whatever he said he was doing here must have been spectacular, or at least the FBI thought so.
		So even though Asif was on the terrorist watch list, they let him in.
		They gave him Special Parole.
		Although that didn't work out too well, because yesterday Asif was arrested.
		Now what do you think he was arrested for?
		Go ahead and pause the video and put it in the comments.
		Asif was arrested for plotting with Iran to assassinate Donald Trump and 35 other government officials.
		Who could have seen that coming?
		Who could have guessed?
		Pakistani national, who is on the terrorist watch list, flies from Pakistan to Tehran, Iran, spends four days there, and then flies directly to the U.S. He is picked up, fingerprinted, and released, even though he's on the terrorist watch list.
		Yeah, that ain't suspicious.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Of course, he's just one of thousands of people on the terrorist watch list deliberately let in to the country.
		So he's been arrested based on plots that he was going to assassinate Trump for Iran.
		But the FBI had to go out of their way to make a special exclusion to permit him to enter the country, despite being on the terrorist watch list.
		This is what we call a setup.
		This is what we call a false flag operation.
		Remember, false flag operations don't necessarily mean that you've got some American FBI agent dressed up like a jihadist and attacking Americans false flag operations don't necessarily mean that you've got some American FBI agent dressed up It is more often simply the authorities allowing things to happen.
		Setting things in motion and then just stepping back and allowing the attack to occur.
		Because the ultimate result is instead of doing anything necessary to actually undo the underlying causes, they'll implement massive restrictions and surveillance.
		I mean, they just do this over and over again.
		It's like infuriating at this point that we still fall for it, but these are the types of win-win situations they set up for themselves.
		Hell, you don't even have to go to something as extreme as terrorism.
		Look at the way that failing to prosecute shoplifters in California has turned out.
		I mean, if your goal was we want to create a society ready for the mark of the beast where we have surveillance cameras everywhere, freedom is limited, cash is eliminated, everybody's purchasing things on their biometric scans, Well, it turns out all you have to do is stop arresting shoplifters.
		You stop arresting shoplifters, then they start shoplifting at an incredible rate.
		Companies want to survive.
		They have to do something to protect their merchandise from thievery.
		So they have to set up plexiglass barriers and facial scans, locking the store until you smile into the AI camera.
		It happens on its own.
		It happens almost automatically.
		And all the government has to do is not do its job and allow the criminals to continue operation.
		It's exactly the same thing happening here.
		They don't actually have to coordinate and cover up the coordination of terrorist attacks across the country.
		All they have to do is when you get a report of an extremist inside the U.S. military or crossing the border, You just give it your managerial overwrite.
		You say, yeah, well, that's fine.
		Let them in.
		See what happens.
		Maybe they attack and you get what you want.
		Maybe they don't.
		Doesn't cost you anything.
		It's a win-win situation for them.
		At the end of the day, we have to do something.
		And the one thing they want us to do is go back to war in Afghanistan and start full-on conflict with Iran.
		And again, they are...
		Very deliberately pumping up the fear factor here.
		Let's go to clip 23. This is Senator Kennedy making some very obscure statements about potential future threats to major American cities.
		Let's watch.
unidentified		For not just people in Louisiana that are watching, but people coast to coast that are watching tonight, are you getting the sense that there's any threat of any other potential attacks tonight on any other major cities?
		I can't answer that.
		I can, but I won't.
		Is New Orleans safe tonight?
		Yes, but we're still in the process of tightening up security.
		We're still in the process of doing everything that we possibly can.
		The governor's called out the National Guard.
		We've got more FBI coming.
		We've got Homeland Security people.
		We've got state troopers who've done an awesome job.
		We've got the NOPD. We're doing everything we can.
		Like I say, there's a lot of information out there.
		Some of it's accurate.
		Okay.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		So again, that is Senator Kennedy being asked if other major American cities are under threat right now.
		To which he responds, I can't answer.
		Well, I can, but I'm not going to.
		In other words, yes.
		In other words, yes, there are other threats.
		That's true or not, I guess is up to you, but the one thing we know to be true is that they want you to think it's true, if you understand what I'm saying here.
		According to Mike Cernovich, the FBI stonewalled Senator Grassley on the Garland, Texas terror attack, where an FBI agent was caught texting the terrorist, tear up Texas.
		What did the FBI really know before the terrorist attack in Garland, Texas?
		This was a while ago, several years ago.
		But it again implicates the FBI in actually talking to and helping to in some way coordinate the terrorist attacks by radical Islamists.
		Chuck Grassley is calling on the FBI to explain its advanced knowledge of any plan to thwart a 2015 terrorist attack in Garland, Texas.
		Grassley's questions follow recent media reports revealing that an undercover FBI agent was not only in communication with the terrorist weeks before the attack, but the agent was also at the scene taking pictures of the terrorist seconds before the shooting began.
		This was the shooting of the Draw Muhammad cartoon in Garland, Texas.
		Showing that, once again, the FBI had foreknowledge and was actually in conversation with the terrorists.
		Showing precedent and a pattern of behavior.
		That these terrorist attacks are either coordinated or allowed to happen.
		Because the fear they create and the political impetus that they inspire is beneficial for the deep state.
		They want to control.
		We'll be right back.
unidentified		Welcome back, folks.
unidentified		Welcome back.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Some very bizarre coincidences taking place around the world right now.
		Which, again, I'm just having trouble coming to terms with, considering the fact that the threat of Islamism, considering the fact that the threat of Islamism, Islamic attack and terrorist infiltration, is very real.
		And yet, it seems so overt, it's like ridiculous.
		I mean, you've got infatata marches with Palestinians taking over the streets in Toronto, in New York City, and several other big cities.
		Around the world, you've got 400 people arrested in Berlin, youths, migrant gangs, throwing fireworks into apartment buildings, destroying 36 apartments.
		It's just crazy.
		Massive attacks.
		You've got the vast majority of European cities just devoid of Europeans on New Year's Eve.
		They're forced to stay inside their apartments and Watch the ball drop on TV while their town squares are filled with Muslim men groping and attacking anybody who wanders through.
		You've even got something like 70 cars burned in Brussels.
		Massive attacks take place there.
		You've got this attack in New Orleans.
		By somebody with an ISIS flag.
		Like, it's almost too much.
		And while all of this is happening, you've got a major, you know, reignition of the fire in the UK. And again, I don't know to look into why this is cropping up right now, but everybody in the UK is posting about these rape gangs.
		Information that has been known for decades, but it's all cropping up right now.
		So, this seems coordinated.
		Like, this just seems coordinated to me.
		I mean, how many things is that?
		It's the marches in New York and Toronto, the attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas, the attacks in every European capital, the UK rape gang controversy springing to life all of a sudden.
		All of these things all at once, it's like, alright, clearly they're engaged in a psychological operation here, but the threat is real.
		So what do we do?
		So what do we do and how do we combat this?
		Well, the obvious answer is do all of the things that we should have been doing the entire time anyway.
		Instead of having the FBI waste its time going after parents at school board meetings or having the army expel people for refusing to take the COVID shot or having a don't tread on me Gadsden flag, Or a come and take it flag or a Betsy Ross flag as being symbols of domestic terror,
		the number one threat, having Merrick Garland spend all of the resources available, deliberately taking people off of actual terrorist cases, actual child trafficking cases, and putting them to work fabricating and creating themselves conflicts like the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping case.
		Which wouldn't have existed without the FBI planning, organizing, and sponsoring it the entire time.
		But if instead we focused on actual terrorists in this country, actual criminals crossing our border, we'd shut the border and have mass deportations.
		If we would just do all of the normal things that any government should do, none of this would be an issue.
		And yet, at every step of the way, whatever has to be done to create this outcome has been done.
		This is only possible if it's deliberate.
		There's absolutely no way all of these things are happening completely by accident, by coincidence, and our federal law enforcement is just doing the best they can and barely keeping it together.
		No, they're deliberately allowing this to happen.
		This is the newest manifestation of the false flag.
		They are flying planes into buildings.
		It's much more subtle this time.
unidentified		You're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith.
unidentified		Watch it live right now at band.video.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Welcome back, folks.
		This is The American Journal, our first broadcast of 2025. We did an interview with a very interesting author.
		Now we'll show you in the third hour, and that's about the bloodlines of the Illuminati, I guess you could say.
		Really, it's about the reality of modern Israel as it relates to the biblical Israel and the way that religion is used to manipulate the masses in order to gear us towards war.
		So it sort of fits in perfectly with what we're talking about today.
		Which are the numerous terror attacks.
		And again, I thought I'd go into a lot of the rape gang details.
		I guess a big report came out where people saw the transcripts of the courtroom proceedings in which these rape gangs practices were discussed.
		And a lot of people were just absolutely outraged and horrified at the scale and Actual details of these events.
		I'm suspicious of that too.
		Why now?
		If you've been watching Infowars, you know all of these details.
		None of this is new.
		I'm glad it's being talked about.
		I appreciate people actually willing to sink their teeth into The true levels of depravity that we're talking about here when we talk about rape gangs and the complicity, really participation of the UK government.
		The example I brought up over and over again is the fact that you had girls in foster care in the UK and government-run orphanages and the people running those orphanages would just rent out the girls.
		They would just, every night, some Muslim dude would show up They'd hand over, you know, little Vicky or whoever.
		Vicky would come back, be dropped off, literally just dropped off outside the orphanage at three in the morning, completely drugged and beaten and abused.
		And the orphanage would bring her in and clean her up and rent her out the next day.
		Like, the government is doing this.
		And we've talked about this for years.
		Even before I had...
		American Journal, before I was doing American Journal, I did a report about the fact that there were guys trying to break into a house in England where a man was asleep with his wife and daughter.
		The man called the police while he's on the phone with the police.
		He's yelling at the people trying to break into his house.
		Uses an unsavory word to describe them.
		Get out of here, you blanks.
		The police show up, arrest him, and leave with the two people still trying to break into his home and his wife and daughter now defenseless as their father is arrested.
		Like, this stuff is routine in the UK at this point.
		Doesn't mean it's okay.
		It's like...
		This is the frustration of working it forward.
		Any one of these events should be cause of violent revolution.
		Your government is bringing people in who stab your children at a dance class or systematically rape a million girls.
		Just any one instance is more than enough valid justification to burn down Whitehall and string up every parliamentary member.
		I'm just saying.
		This is like the reality that you're dealing with.
		People are finally waking up to it.
		Good, but why and to what end?
		And how is this being utilized by the very people that could have solved this at any point?
		And the answer, of course, is war with Iran, which is their ultimate goal, which would just be more death and destruction for all of us.
		So, it's a little bit...
		A little bit like the feeling of just being on the precipice.
		Just looking down at the yawning abyss.
		Just going, we're about to fall for this, aren't we?
		And we've let it get this far.
		Crazy.
		I'm going to open up the phone lines for your calls on this topic and more.
		The number to dial is 1-877-789-2539.
		That's 1-877-789-2539.
		We'll give you some headlines, some more details into specifically the truck attack in New Orleans on Bourbon Street.
		Now apparently this was only allowed to happen because the steel bollards, the barriers meant to prevent this exact thing, were taken down and are being repaired.
		But in the meantime, there's nothing.
		There's nothing there.
		And again, it's one of these things where it's like, I don't think the conspiracy goes so deep that you've got people in New Orleans' city administration deliberately shutting down security so that this truck attack can happen.
		I don't think it goes that deep, but I think there's almost a sense of uncoordinated...
		What's the term they use from the Proud Boy?
		Unspoken conspiracy?
		It's not even a conspiracy, necessarily.
		It's just like...
		What else is going to happen when you have your city administration or your national police force no longer prioritizing competence and instead engaged in DEI practices?
		Like, how many shortcomings contributed to this eventual outcome?
		Like, what are the downstream effects of just, like, everything taking a thousand years when you just want to get something simple done, but everybody in the bureaucracy is utterly incompetent and totally immoral and has no drive and doesn't want to do anything, so is just constantly looking for ways to pass the buck, is working from home and doesn't even come into the office.
		He can't really communicate with them.
	Like, I mean, how many warning signs were missed?
	How many...
	Steel barriers should have been erected but just happened to slip through the cracks.
	How many things had to go wrong to allow this to happen?
	How many layers of incompetence did this have to get through?
	New Orleans was replacing street barriers at time of truck attack.
	What type of system of security for a large tourist attraction...
	I mean, this could bankrupt New Orleans, right?
	New Orleans having survived everything over the hundreds of years, including having a large portion of its city literally washed away in a flood 10 years ago.
	The reason they survive is because they're a massive magnet of tourism.
	How many people are going to go to a city where you're going to get run over or bombed?
	And what type of system do you set up where you're replacing security barriers, which by the very nature of their existence means they're necessary and not something that you let lapse for any period of time?
	What type of repairs take place where you Go any period of time, let alone weeks or months, just taking down the old ones before you set up the new ones.
	It's just so stupid.
	There's so much stupidity at play here.
	New Orleans attacker was inspired by ISIS, Biden says.
	Investigators who briefed President Biden told him the suspect had posted videos indicating he had a desire to kill.
	At least 15 people died in the attack.
	How many resources dedicated to investigating Infowars, spying on people like me, white Christian patriots, how many agents were on that detail, and so they weren't looking for the radical extremists embedded in our own government and in our own military?
	FBI probe into New Orleans terror attack turns to suspects home in Texas and other collaborators.
	This is from Just the News.
	The agency said investigative activity in Houston was related to the New Orleans attack.
	The FBI investigation into the New Orleans terror attack on New Year's Day is turning to the suspect's hometown in Texas in questions of whether there are other collaborators.
	On New Year's Day, a man drove a pickup truck through a crowd in the French Quarter for opening fire on police with a gun, killing 15 and injuring 35. FBI Houston and the Harris County Sheriff's Office are currently conducting law enforcement activity near the intersection of Hugh Road and Crescent Peak Drive in North Houston.
	The agency said this investigation is in relation to the New Orleans attack and as of now, no other information can be provided.
	He was hell-bent on creating the carnage and damage that he did, New Orleans Police Superintendent Ann Kirkpatrick said in reference to Jabbar.
	And they say they're May very well have been other collaborators, and we saw at least one be arrested.
	Here's where it gets really disturbing.
	Apparently, an email went out from a mosque in Houston, urging people not to talk to the feds or press, and instead to contact CARE, C-A-I-R, that is the Muslim Relations Organization.
	It says, important announcement, must read...
	I'm sure many of you have heard about the tragic events that took place in New Orleans this morning and are now being classified as an act of terror by the FBI. I want to emphasize the importance of everyone to stay very vigilant and aware of your surroundings.
	The safety of our community is the most important thing.
	If anyone is contacted by the media, it is very important that you do not respond.
	If approached by the FBI and a response is necessary, please refer to CARE and ISGH. It is crucial that we stay united at this time as we condemn these terrible acts.
	Please stay safe.
	So yes, it is real.
	And you've got a mosque in Houston where this terrorist is from telling its followers, if you have to talk to the FBI, get in contact with our PR firms first.
	Okay.
	This is from The Last Refuge 2 on X. He says,
	My daughter called me at 5 o'clock this morning and was telling me this before the information about the bomb was made public.
	The thing that I keep wondering is how the FBI knew the bomb was in the truck and why they didn't act to evacuate everybody within the vicinity of the truck.
	They're either reckless or knew that the bomb was not viable.
	These events all seem to have a pattern suggesting the FBI knew much more before it happened.
	I suspect that we will see more of this, both the New Orleans and Las Vegas events.
	I hope this gets exposed.
	So, yeah, lots of suspicious things about that.
	The speed at which the FBI shows up, the fact that they apparently knew there was a bomb in the cooler of the truck, the fact that they didn't evacuate everybody if they knew there was a bomb in the truck, the fact that they lied about this, and as you saw during the press conference, said this is not a terrorist attack, when it obviously was.
	The presence of the ISIS flag is enough to justify that interpretation.
	At 6 a.m.
	in New Orleans, officers found an explosive device near the cathedral in the French Quarter.
	They discovered two devices and safely detonated both.
	Thank God.
	This, of course, was an attack on Catholics and the Catholic heritage, I think, in New Orleans.
	It would have been a devastating blow to American history, let alone the death and destruction it would cause.
	Shows that this attacker likely wasn't acting alone.
	And again, we see the connections.
	We see connections between the Tesla truck bombing in Las Vegas and the bombing in the truck attack in New Orleans have very interesting connections that go right through the U.S. military.
	As both of these guys were apparently at the same military base at the same time that this happened.
	Another bizarre twist to the New Orleans story is that the Airbnb where the suspect stayed, The guy who drove the truck through the crowd in New Orleans burned down, apparently.
	I need more details on this, but either he set fire to it before committing the attack, which would at least make some sort of temporal sense, but if the Airbnb happened to burn down after the attack took place, that would be a whole other level of suspicious and reek of a Official top-down cover-up situation.
	And by the way, here's a picture of the ISIS flag that was discovered in the truck.
	However, there are pictures of the flag mounted on the back of the truck, but there are other videos I've seen where the truck is driving and clearly doesn't have the flag on the back.
	So whether this was...
	I mean, it's all very suspicious and clearly coordinated.
	Finally, we have this.
	Shamsu Din Jabbar was flagged and barred from reenlistment circa 2014 for an incident that happened while he was on his way out of the 82nd Airborne Division and Army for a normal ETS. He wasn't allowed to join the National Guard because of it.
	Unfortunately, I can't share details because of who sent them to me, so this is a trust-me-bro post.
	Take with a grain of salt.
	Maybe it spurs a reporter to call for it, brag, and do some digging.
	So apparently this guy was flagged for some reason and barred from reenlistment as early as 2014. Let's go now to clip number 11 and then out to your phone calls.
	But here's a retired Secret Service agent.
	He was a Secret Service for 25 years.
	He has some very stern warnings for the rest of us.
	Let's watch.
unidentified		I'm a retired Secret Service agent and I think I know a thing or two about protection.
		And how to get through life safely.
		I protected presidents for 25 years.
		And unfortunately, I have a pretty bad feeling about what's happening right now.
		If you take a close look at this early morning hours event that took place down in Louisiana and then over later, a few hours later in Nevada, I don't believe in coincidences.
		Okay, you might.
		I don't.
		I think you should do yourself a favor and check out Sarah Adams.
		Shawn Ryan's interviewed her several times and she's been talking about what's coming our way in 2025. And if what she's talking about is what just happened, they wasted no time.
		Get it?
		You should be ready to protect yourself and defend yourself and your family.
		I'm not saying live in fear and be a hermit.
		But when you go out, for God's sake, pay attention to what's going on around you.
		Unfortunately, I think it's here.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Again, I'm reminded of so many of their other attacks.
		I mean, this is the skill of the globalists, to set up these win-win situations for them.
		Things like COVID. When COVID broke, we knew what the intention was.
		We knew, okay, they're going to use this to do shutdowns.
		They're going to dangle the vaccine in front of us.
		They're going to get people on track and trace.
		It's all about surveillance and control and consolidation of corporations, get rid of the small businesses, get them all in gigantic corporate networks to lay the groundwork for cooperation between the government and private sector.
		To destroy your rights.
		Like, we knew all of that.
		At the same time, these same people doing this same stuff could actually release a deadly virus.
		So, you know, you can't totally ignore it.
		You can't just assume that the virus doesn't exist.
		These are evil scumbag people bent on global genocide.
		Like, they'll release a real virus.
		So, you know, it's just...
		This is the reality when the globalists set the agenda.
		When they have the initiative, this is what they do.
		They set things up like this, where we've got all these Muslim infiltrators clearly posing a very dangerous and real threat to the people in our countries.
		And the only solutions from on high are endless war and the destruction of our rights.
		Damned if we do, damned if we don't.
		Or we could just do the obvious thing, which is be mean.
		We just have to be a little bit mean to people that aren't us.
		It's not even mean really, but a little bit stern.
		Maybe that's a better word for it.
		Strict.
		We need mass expulsions, mass deportations.
		And...
		You know, criminal charges for the people at the head of the law enforcement agencies who have deliberately allowed this to happen.
		With that, we got to your phone calls.
		Leatherneck in Austin.
		Leatherneck in Austin, you're on the air about these terrorist attacks.
		Go ahead.
unidentified		Yeah, good morning.
unidentified		So, all of this is being funded by the federal government, but currently, and have been since 2021, giving the Taliban $40 million a week.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Not to mention tens of billions of dollars in weaponry in Ukraine that we can't track and don't know where it's ended up.
unidentified		85 billion in weapons that we gave to the Taliban and that they freely gave to al-Qaeda.
		We have to understand, though, al-Qaeda, ISIS, Hezbollah, Hamas...
		Terrorists that exist under different names in Iran, it's all the same international Islamist army now.
		When we vacated or abandoned Afghanistan and created a power vacuum, the Taliban actually obviously fulfilled.
		And al-Qaeda considers themselves subordinate to the Taliban.
		So the Taliban commands al-Qaeda's action.
		But it's important that we make it.
		There's really no distinction between ISIS, Hamas, Hezbollah, any of it.
		They all train.
		There's over 50 training camps within Afghanistan that were created after we abandoned Afghanistan, fall of Kabul.
		So they have – there's a book, Al-Qaeda 2.0, that goes into great detail, these attacks that are unfolding right now.
		There are a whole wave of attacks that are slated for 2025, and what we fear is that it's already started, as of yesterday.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I'll say, I appreciate your call, and I think you're right.
		And we do have to treat this threat as very real as it clearly is.
		And I said after the fall of Syria, you know, what is the likelihood that this is Turkey doing this to sort of deal with a problem in its rear so it can turn its focus fully on the West as they have thousands and tens of thousands of sleeper cells in every city in Europe.
		But at the time, we're still dealing with an enemy in their rear as Syria was flanking them in the east.
		So it's sort of complicated.
		I disagree.
		This is all one big faction.
		Like clearly they're all Muslim, but there are different Muslim factions that are warring with each other.
		Some that are controlled by American and Western interests through Saudi Arabia, like the Wahhabis.
		Some are working against that interest.
		I mean, it is a little bit more complicated than just they're all Muslim, but they are all Muslim.
		But there is that.
		So, you know, again, it's...
		It's very complicated, but at the end of the day, white European Christians just need to look after themselves and nobody else.
		Like, it really is that simple.
		And we'll take more calls on that topic on the other side.
		I do want to remind you to go to thealexjonesstore.com, thealexjonesstore.com slash Harrison, so they know who sent you.
		And just know that, you know, we've been warning about this forever, and like so many things that we talk about, we could have...
		At least mitigated this threat a long, long time ago by doing just very basic things like not going to war with Afghanistan.
		When we're at war in Afghanistan, not abandoning all our equipment there.
		When we did abandon all our equipment there, not bring over all of the people that we were fighting with last year.
		Instead of doing any of the sensical things, we did all of the retarded things that got us to this point.
		And now we have to try to extricate ourselves from this trap we laid.
unidentified		You're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith.
unidentified		Watch it live right now at band.video.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Alright, welcome back folks.
		We're going to go out to your phone calls again.
		We've got a pre-recorded interview for the third hour that I think our audience will find very interesting.
		Connecting...
		Well, connecting ancient religious history to modern global politics in a way that's very illuminating.
		So hopefully you stay tuned for that, but we're going to go out to your phone calls momentarily.
		I do have two videos I want to show you.
		The first, clip number 15. This is former Green Beret Scott Mann issuing a, again, a very disturbing warning that you've heard many times here.
		On Infowars, because it doesn't take a genius with inside information to figure out that we're being set up here.
		Let's watch.
unidentified		You know, Scott, it just feels like this is a president with bad instincts.
		He always seems to be late.
		You look at the debacle in Afghanistan, just to name one of many maladies of the Biden era.
		And then you look at today.
		This was, by my count and just my own independent research, the 11th deadliest terrorist attack on American soil.
		It was on the level of San Bernardino, the level of Fort Hood.
		And it just feels like Biden's remarks 16 hours late are a little too late.
		Your thoughts?
		Yeah, thanks, Kayleigh.
		And, of course, our prayers go out to the victims and their families.
		But, you know, something that I would say is that the Global War on Terror veterans have been trying to tell the Biden administration something for three years since the departure from Afghanistan, and they haven't listened.
		And so now this message, I'm actually saying it to the Trump administration.
		There is an emerging threat gathering on the horizon of local distributed attacks That's going to look much more like October 7 than it does 9-11.
		And the reason that I'm saying that is because a whole number of global war on terror veterans picked up the phone when the Biden administration abandoned 99% of our human intelligence capability in Afghanistan.
		And we paid for safe houses and for babies to be born and a range of other things.
		And over the last three years, those individuals who are very well placed, who have tremendous information, Kaylee, have been giving very high fidelity, high veracity information about local attacks where we live, work and play.
		And I do believe this is the first shot across the bow.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Shot across the bow.
		Yeah.
		So not only do you have this truck attack in New Orleans, you have IEDs found all around New Orleans, including next to the historic church in the French Quarter.
		With a statue of Andrew Jackson there.
		I assume that's still standing, right?
		They didn't tear that one down, did they?
		We also have the discovery, apparently, by the FBI of a house in Virginia with 150 improvised explosive devices.
		And you have this Tesla Cybertruck attack in front of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas.
		One that I guess maybe should have been bigger than it was, except the actual construction of the cyber truck caused the attack to be less impactful as it maybe would have otherwise been.
unidentified		We can watch that report now from Fox News, clip 18. But I also would like you to pay attention to on that video as you see that it looks like the exterior of that truck is completely intact as it sits there.
		The fact that this was a cyber truck really limited the damage that occurred inside of the valet because it had most of the blast go up through the truck and out.
		In fact, if you look on that video, you'll see that the front glass doors at the Trump The hotel were not even broken by that blast, which they were parked directly in front of.
		You can see that in the video there.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		So again, very, very bizarre coincidences.
		Sort of an amateurish mistake, honestly, for these people to make.
		I remember even reading about the truck attack that Hezbollah carried out in the 80s against the Marines in Lebanon, just outside Beirut.
		And that was like the first truck attack ever.
		In that case, suicide truck attack that now has become a hallmark of Islamic terror.
		And in that case, they deliberately put the bombs under the truck with a bunch of metal sheeting on top, knowing that the explosion would go up and not do much damage, so you had to weigh it down so that when it did explode, the pressure was forced out to the side and you got a wider range of attack.
		In other words, this seems like a somewhat amateurish attempt.
		Still a lot of unanswered questions.
		We got to your phone calls once again.
		Let's go to Ian in Houston on line one.
		Go ahead, Ian.
		You're on the air.
unidentified		Yes, good morning, Harrison.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Good morning.
unidentified		Yeah, I just wanted to remind you guys, maybe, I don't know, what was it, five, six years ago, there was a pickup truck from a plumbing company here in Houston.
		That ended up, like, with a machine gun mounted in the back, and it still said, like, you know, so-and-so plumbing company.
		It had the Houston phone number on the side of it.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, yeah.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		It was, like, pictured in, like, Syria or something, right?
unidentified		Yeah, totally.
		And it's, like, we really never, like, got any more information.
		And, like, how did this pickup truck, you know, the ultimately used car dealer here in Houston was just like I sold it.
		And, like, we never really, like, who shipped a pickup truck to ISIS to have a machine gun mounted in the back?
		Like, how did that occur, you know?
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		And the crew already found images of this truck, Mark I plumbing, with that big machine gun in the back.
		Yeah, very bizarre.
		Very bizarre.
		I mean, what do you account this to?
unidentified		Um, there's some level of organization.
		And it's, you know, my best guess is that For sure, the Cybertruck.
		I don't know, honestly.
		You know, I just looked up real quick online the Cybertruck suspect supposedly from Colorado Springs.
		You know, I don't know if the two incidents are connected, but there's some level of organization at least between obviously Houston and shipping a truck to have a machine gun mounted in it.
		And now they're saying that, you know, the guy from New Orleans is from Houston.
		I'm not quite sure.
		I mean, I'm just...
		It's very...
		You know, we just...
		Everybody just wants more clarity, I think, is what all of it comes down to.
		It's what we all talk about all the time.
		They're just...
		Nobody ever really provides answers.
		The stories just kind of fade away.
		You know, it's kind of like the Las Vegas shooting type thing.
		It just fades away into the ether.
		And they just move on to the next thing.
		And it's like, well, no.
		There's something going on.
		I mean...
		We can't just say there's nothing going on.
		There's the car attack in Germany, you know, car attack in the UK, car attack in New Orleans.
		There's something going on.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yes, there is very much something going on.
		I appreciate your calling.
		That's a good point about that truck, because again, it's like, think about the amount of resources that, I mean, we've covered it for years, and really it was January 6th that kicked it off full-fledged, but it was happening before that.
		The diversion of resources in our federal government away from actual terrorists and their networks towards fabricating terrorist acts in order to justify anti-white activity, anti-Christian activity.
		We've seen over and over.
		They had to create those threats.
		They had to actually themselves come up with a plan to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer and then try to scheme and con people into going along with it.
		Whereas you've got things like this where a truck from Houston ends up with an ISIS machine gun mounted on the back in Syria somewhere.
		Do you really think it'd be that difficult to find out who bought that truck and who shipped it and whether they knew what they were doing?
		All it takes is resources and a concerted effort.
		There's a reason that we're not getting clarity, and it's because clarity is not what they want to provide to us.
		We could have clarity.
		And you can just imagine a country being administered and governed by people that actually care about it and want to do the right thing.
		And it would look entirely different than the world that we have now, which is exactly as you point out, the role of the media and the establishment seems to be Just sort of covering it up and making everybody think everything's normal until they forget and we can just move on to the next thing and nothing positive is ever done and no corrective measures are ever taken.
		Because it's on purpose.
		Because it's all on purpose.
		Because the result of a system is the reason the system exists.
		And this has just proven to us over and over again.
		Thank you so much for the call, Ian.
		Let's go to Keith in FEMA Region 6 now.
		Keith in FEMA Region 6, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hey, how you doing?
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Good, thank you.
unidentified		I just wanted to bring up a couple questions.
unidentified		One is, you know, why would they choose those two locations instead of somewhere closer to where they're from or where they live?
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Good question.
unidentified		And the other one is, you know, would these soldiers happen to have been stationed where those so-called Afghan refugees were sleeping in the barracks while the soldiers were sleeping in tents?
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		You know, I don't know about that.
		I do know what you're talking about.
		I know the story that you're talking about because we brought over a ton of Afghan refugees totally unvetted.
		A lot of them were on the terrorist watch list and many of them were housed on military bases when they first arrived here.
		But these guys, I think, were from America.
		I'm pretty sure both of these suspects in New Orleans and Las Vegas were born and bred in America.
		And weren't refugees, but the one guy was apparently reported twice to his commanders for his extremism.
		As to the locations of the attacks, I believe, isn't the Super Bowl about to be played in New Orleans?
		Are there some big game that was about to be played in New Orleans?
		So there could be a connection there.
		The fact that Bourbon Street is one of...
		One of the few places, I guess, in the South where you have tons of people gathering like that.
		I mean, it's New Year's Eve, so I'm sure there are other instances, but I can't think of anywhere in Houston where you would have an opportunity like you'd have basically every day in New Orleans with all these people jammed shoulder to shoulder on Bourbon Street.
		I don't know.
		It is a good question.
		Of course, the Trump Tower targeting was pretty on the nose.
		The Sugar Bowl, that's what it was.
		The Sugar Bowl has been postponed after a deadly truck attack in New Orleans.
		The college football quarterfinal between Georgia and Notre Dame was to take place at the Superdome on New Year's Day.
		It will now take place Thursday night after that truck attack.
		So I don't know.
		I think speculation is warranted.
		Again, the connections between these, the guys were at the same military base at the same time in the past.
		They both used the same app to rent the trucks.
		Both truck attacks, obviously.
		Improvised explosive devices in both instances.
		So it would be pretty coincidental if these two guys didn't know each other, didn't have some sort of And of course, there's been an arrest in Houston at the suspect's house.
		We haven't seen any more information beyond the footage captured by the local news station of the man being arrested by FBI SWAT. Thank you for the call, Keith.
		But again, I think speculation at this point is all we have, and we're open to any and all answers to these open-ended questions.
		Let's go now to Joshua in Minnesota.
		Joshua, you're on the air.
		Go ahead.
unidentified		Hello, Harrison.
		I just wanted to talk about, well, two main points.
		I guess I had a conversation with a Satanist at my job last week about, like, the planet's aligning sometime this month.
		And, you know, he was on his Behemoth app showing me all these, like, curses and stuff of how to bring hell on Earth.
		Also, the point of how to practice, not how to practice, just research common law for all our info warriors.
		To kind of get out of maritime law, our taxes aren't, you know, fines aren't getting used in a great way.
		So just research more on common law.
		I think getting out of maritime would be a good solution.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Did you say there was an app for Satanist?
		There's a Satanist app?
		Hold on.
		I'm a little confused.
		You had a conversation with a Satanist at your work who showed you an app with curses on it?
		Explain that.
unidentified		Yeah, he showed me this app called Behemoth.
		He was scrolling on and I was kind of dumbfounded by it as well.
		I heard nothing about this.
		I heard this from him, this All Eight Planets lining sometime this month.
		I don't know how true that is.
		I looked it up, and apparently it is happening, I think around the 17th or something.
		But yeah, he showed me on his phone, I don't know, there's a bunch of weird symbols, you know, pentagrams, and I don't know.
		But yeah, this app, it's weird.
		I don't know much about it.
		He just showed it to me.
		But it's more about...
		I've heard nothing about the news of this happening, so I just kind of wanted to bring that to your attention.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Interesting.
		Well, you know, 2025 promises to be a very strange year, and we've started out appropriately, and I think a lot of people are now sort of getting bad vibes about the inauguration on the 20th, and a lot of people going...
		If there's going to be a big attack, it's going to be there in D.C. on the eve of the inauguration, which would align perfectly with everything else.
		They're sort of seeding the soil right now with this massive uptick in Islamic crime.
		You've got people talking about what happened in the U.K. with the Islamic rape gangs.
		You have, of course, continual war drums being beaten, as we discussed in the year in review.
		We spent the entirety of last year on the cusp of World War III with Iran.
		Wouldn't it be predictable if there's some big Iranian attack on the inauguration where they kill Trump and then get all of the Trump supporters to go along with retribution against Iran and get that full-fledged World War III Mideast conflict that they've been salivating for the last 30 years.
		Thank you very much for the call, Joshua.
		Very disturbing stuff about the Satanism.
		But we do have some more information.
		Coming out about the Cybertruck explosion, the man connected to the rental of Cybertruck that exploded outside the Trump Hotel in Vegas yesterday is an active duty Special Forces Operations Sergeant who was on leave from Germany where he was serving with the 10th SFG, according to multiple U.S. officials.
		So that's interesting.
		From BBC. Police probe if blast at Trump Hotel is linked to New Orleans' attack.
		Police in the US are investigating whether an explosion outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas is linked to the deadly car ramming attack in New Orleans.
		The Cybertruck was rented in Colorado and arrived in the city on Wednesday morning, less than two hours before the detonation, police said.
		Parked in front of the hotel near a glass entrance, the vehicle started to smoke, then exploded.
		Law enforcement sources told CBS News, the BBC's U.S. news partner, that the vehicle was rented to Matthew Allen Livelsberg, Livelsberger, an active duty U.S. Army service member, Livelsberger had been serving in Germany but was on leave in Colorado at the time of the incident.
		Two relatives of Livelsberger confirmed to CVS that he rented the Cybertruck but were unaware of him having any involvement in the incidents.
		Just crazy.
		And apparently, you know, one of the similarities between these guys...
		I mean, the symbolism alone is pretty incredible.
		A cyber truck, the Trump Hotel, especially with everything going on with Elon Musk and Donald Trump right now and the controversy that they're creating with the H-1B visas.
		The sheriff noted that both vehicles, the one in New Orleans and in Las Vegas, appeared to be rented from Turo, an app-based car rental company.
		A Turo spokesperson said in a statement that the company was working with authorities in Las Vegas and New Orleans to help with the investigation.
		The spokesperson noted both renters appeared to not have criminal background that would have identified them as a security threat.
		Crazy.
		Just crazy stuff.
		Let's go out to your calls again.
		Let's go to Jordan in New Jersey on line eight.
		Apparently you have an angle I haven't established yet.
		Go ahead, Jordan.
		You're on the air.
jordan in new jersey ▲ ● ▼		Hi, Harrison.
		Thank you so much.
		Happy New Year to you.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Happy New Year.
jordan in new jersey ▲ ● ▼		So I just wanted to...
		I mean, your analysis as to these various connections, I think, was very spot on.
		There's one thing that I just wanted to bring to your attention that should be part of analysis, in my opinion, is the ex-censorship that has gone on with the suspension of multiple accounts.
		It started with the H1, you know, B1 visa flap, but that was just a cover story, in my opinion.
		A lot of people who have been, who were active members once they opened it up, especially prior to the election, have just been You know, totally suspended.
		You'll strangely not see people in your feeds anymore silently, not even knowing that they're no longer, you know, the accounts aren't canceled or whatever.
		You're in a read-only mode.
		There's no reason given for it.
		My account was suspended.
		And if you look back, you can see a clear, you know, passage of a concerted effort to do this.
		It looks like they allowed unfettered access all prior to the election.
		Once the election was held, all of a sudden you start seeing all this UAP stuff, right?
		And all the drone stuff.
		No community notes are on it.
		You know, if you posted one chemtrail, you know, story, they would be, oh, these are ice crystals.
		But people could post crazy, you know, ridiculous pictures that were obviously airplanes and say they're UAPs.
		No community notes on it.
		That started.
		And then slowly but surely, people started getting marked.
		And then eventually...
		At the beginning of the year, they just unleashed all these suspensions.
		And we heard about some of this through various people.
		It's not just about immigration, but anybody, you know, who's out there actually reporting on stuff that they can't control, who knows how to work against their logarithm and get news out on the X platform.
		All those people have been basically suspended.
		So I think that there's some aspect of this that probably should be in the analysis.
		I understand Alex's relationship with Elon, and it appears that he was doing a great job, but there's censorship actively going on.
		I've been censored.
		I just want to report that.
		This is a part of what's going on, in my opinion, so that citizen journalists who actually know what's going on, who can see things and report on them articulately are being censored.
		That's my, you know, I just want to bring that to the fray and have you consider that.
		I want to thank you for your time and best of luck in 2025 to you and for World's Crew.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Thank you, but don't go.
		I appreciate that, Jordan.
		It sounded like you were signing off.
		Don't go anywhere.
		I want to expand on this a little bit.
		I think what you're bringing up is very interesting.
		I'm trying to figure out how it plays into it because you're right.
		I mean, this timeline is interesting.
		You had the election, you had the UAPs, then the dominated conversation, New Jersey drones.
		That was like all anybody was talking about.
		That sort of got crushed by the H-1B discussion.
		And you had, you know, Elon Musk and others, you know, flipping out about the supposed racism of saying, hey, we don't want our country flooded with infinite Indian people.
		No, thank you.
		That was outrageous and beyond the pale.
		And then Elon Musk is like retweeting Tommy Robinson, who, you know, I probably loves Indian people like the same excuses will be made when censoring or imprisoning people like Tommy Robinson is, oh, your racial hatred.
		And really what he's talking about is just absolutely real.
		You have, you know, Elon and others very hardcore pushing the new revelations about the UK rape gangs that that is, again, just like hitting the headlines in a very hard way.
		No, no censorship there for talking about that very racialized conversation.
		Elon Musk, you know, bans large groups of people associated with each other through these, you know, Twitter groups, either taking down their check marks and removing their verification or outright banning them like the Project Groeper community was banned.
		it I'm having a hard time, like, you know, drawing the connection.
		Physically, it's hard to tie these in, but clearly they're associated with each other.
		I mean, what do you think this means, Jordan?
		What do you think is underlying all of this?
jordan in new jersey ▲ ● ▼		Well, for me, one of the kind of touchstones is that just prior to the election, Elon was touting how X had become basically the source for news.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
jordan in new jersey ▲ ● ▼		And it was being used...
		As kind of a bully pulpit for the people who have been silenced for so long to basically viciously attack these liberals and do great damage to the Kamala Harris campaign and all the rest.
		And I think that it was unleashed and now it's being reined back in.
		But some of the things that Musk has done, okay, is very suspicious and not consistent.
		And a lack of consistency should autumn, where there's smoke, there's fire.
		And so that whole thing saying that, well, we control news, right?
		And then they released this UAP stuff, which was rampant.
		That's all it was.
unidentified		And so real stories weren't getting reported.
jordan in new jersey ▲ ● ▼		Things were getting distracted.
		They had this blue beam announcement.
		It was all coordinated.
		So you have to ask yourself, who's running Musk once again?
		So, you know...
		It has to be brought to the forefront because he was sitting there talking about how X has become the platform for news.
		And so if that's true, we're in a lot of trouble and we need to reestablish a network that actually depicts what's going on in reality.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		You're exactly right.
		We're going up against commercial break here, but I so appreciate your call.
		What a wild time to be live.
		This is exactly what InfoWars was built for.
		We don't have all the answers, but clearly there are some questions we need to be asking.
		And we thank you all for your input, and we'll continue to try to puzzle this out and prepare and guard against whatever comes next.
		Stay tuned.
		We have a very powerful interview coming up next hour.
unidentified		Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		This is the third hour of American Journal on Infowars.com and Band.video.
		We're going to go to a pre-recorded interview that we did here, and I encourage you to stay tuned.
		It's a very fascinating dive into history and bloodlines and Zionism and the modern world.
		We started off 2025, pardon the pun, but with a bang.
		It's only going to get crazier from here on out.
		The mainstream media is absolutely collapsing and failing and clearly plans long laid by the deep state are now being activated.
		And it's more important now than ever that now like Infowars be here to try as we might wade through all of the various information and help guide the resistance to whatever scheme they're running with next.
		I hope you can support us in this mission by going to thealexjonesstore.com, thealexjonesstore.com slash Harrison, if you want to tell them who sent you.
		We have a huge number of just absolutely incredible supplements there, like the Ultimate Hydra Force, the Incredible Drink Mix, Steam Moss.
		There's just awesome merchandise, hats, t-shirts, posters, collectible coins, all sorts of great stuff.
		To say thank you for supporting us in this mission to stop the psychotic death cult that runs our country from having just a complete free hand with the American people.
		And whether it's talking about censorship on X, or these amateurish and blatant false flags that we're seeing carried out, And that's what it is, whether this is something that the government is allowed to happen or is actively coordinating.
		It's the problem, reaction, solution paradigm that we have tried desperately to warn people against for a very long time.
		And no matter at what level this is coordinated or naturally occurring, it's a choice that's being made and we have to make the choice away from it.
		And It's worth reminding everybody that the people who are carrying this out have to contend with human will.
		Where previously they would just remove you completely from the internet and suffer almost no backlash.
		Now any act of censorship is met with major backlash.
		So they have to use a much softer touch.
		Which doesn't mean they've stopped censoring.
		It just means they've had to change their tactics.
		Which in and of itself is proof that our tactic is working.
		Our tactic of just hammering out the truth.
		And being fearless in the face of this is a successful one.
		And we will continue to operate in this manner as long as we physically can.
		How long that is is up to you and whether or not you go to thealexjonesstore.com and keep us on the air and in the fight.
		And we're going to go to this...
		Before we do that, I want to show a quick video just of something else happening that you should probably be aware of.
		Clip number two, Kroger is partnered with Microsoft to use AI to charge you more for food if they know you can pay it.
		Let's watch.
unidentified		Kroger just rolled out surge pricing using facial recognition technology.
		This means that Kroger has the ability to change the prices of their products depending on the image of the person buying them.
		Not to mention that most corporations already own a lot of our data.
		This means that depending on the image of the person buying the product, they can access our information and dictate that price.
		We can also use our image to determine how often we buy certain products and increase the price of that product.
		This could lead to discriminatory practices using AI as a scapegoat to charge people of different races, different socioeconomic status, different family sizes, and different dietary restrictions, different prices for the same products that they are buying.
		And this is the result of an economic system that cannot sustain itself.
		Capitalism is a pursuit of profit by any means necessary in a finite world.
		Even if corporations attain new technology to make their operations more efficient, they will always pursue extracting more capital out of consumers for the sake of profit.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Well, he's not wrong.
		He's not wrong, folks.
		All right, stay tuned.
		Enjoy our interview with author TJ Smith on the other side, and we'll see you tomorrow.
		All right, welcome back.
		Ladies and gentlemen, this is the American Journal.
		I'm your host, Harrison Smith, Infowars.com, band.video, joined in studio today by Mr. T.J. Smith.
		He is an author, educator, and public speaker.
		He runs T.J. Smith Ministries, which is dedicated to correct Bible interpretation, solid doctrine, fulfilled eschatology, shared knowledge based on proper hermeneutics, and educating believers in their pursuit of truth.
		Welcome to the show, sir.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Thanks for having me.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Happy New Year, Merry Christmas.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Happy New Year, Merry Christmas.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Hermeneutics is a tough one.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		I was going to say, I know I didn't pronounce that correctly.
		Hermeneutics.
		Can you explain?
		Maybe that's a good place to start.
		What are proper hermeneutics?
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Well, the hermeneutics, the word comes from the Greek word Hermes, who was the messenger.
		The hermeneutics is a science of interpreting based on certain rules.
		So the hermeneutics is not just based on the Bible.
		It can be the science of pathology of medicine, figuring out what went wrong, space.
		It's just, here's the rules.
		Make sure you filter through these rules, and you should come to this conclusion every time.
		So that's the one thing that we were talking earlier.
		The church doesn't really teach.
		They don't teach people how to interpret Scripture.
		And that's kind of a failure of our part, you know, to not teach hermeneutics, which is just the science of interpretation.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		How to come to the conclusion.
		Very interesting.
		And so your latest book is called The Last Semite by T.J. and Maria Smith.
		And you can find that at tjministries.com.
		And he said this is your ninth book, but it's your, I guess, by far your most popular one, right?
		Like a lot of attention being brought to this book.
		What's in this book and what inspired you to write this particular volume?
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		The journey started about three, four years ago.
		And I was kind of studying the critical theory and saw that it was brought by the Germans back in the 30s after the war.
		Paperclip, Operation Paperclip.
		You know, we go and bring them over here.
		Well, they brought philosophers and educators teaching critical theory.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		That's the Frankfurt School.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Columbia University.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
		And now, you know, pretty much every major university in America.
		And through that, I saw that, well, gee, shampoo and Tide, dishwashing liquid and bar soap and things that used to be natural and They started putting chemicals.
		That came from that German influence of just terrorizing people, practicing on people, torturing them.
		And then I saw that the German movement came from the Empire of Khazar.
		Over the centuries, they migrated.
		And then I thought, what's with this Khazarian Empire?
		So that led me to study King Bulan, who needed a national religion for his people.
		You know, back then, just like now, you needed an ally.
		Right.
		So religion was a good ally to create.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		So he went through the process of interviewing a Muslim, a Catholic, and a rabbi.
		And I don't know if they all showed the same day, but they all showed up to his castle, you know, his empire, made their pitch of why he should choose them.
		Well, he liked the Jewish pitch.
		Because, well, the Muslims represent and they recognize some of these same people.
		And the Catholic guy, they use the Old Testament.
		They got the new, though.
		They don't agree with the Muslims, so I'm just going to go in the middle.
		Seems like there's more of these than the others.
		And it was a political move.
		He converted his entire nation to Judaism.
		And from that, and you can read this in Wikipedia, if it's there, it's got to be true.
		97% of the world's Jews come from the Kazarian conversions.
		The other three are Sephardic.
		Sephardic is from the Spanish.
		So a rabbi went to Spain and converted.
		All of those are converts.
		So we got 97% and 3%.
		That's when I started thinking, wait a second.
		A Semite...
		I knew what Semite was.
		It morphed from Shemite.
		Shemite was a descendant of Shem.
		Shem was a son of Noah.
		There were three brothers, Ham, Shem, and Japheth.
		Ashkenaz was a grandchild of Japheth.
		So all of the prime ministers, every prime minister of Israel...
		Has claimed his descendancy from Japheth, basically.
		It's Ashkenaz.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		None of them have claimed their descendancy from Shem.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		So all of the promises that Israel's been gaining have been from a false claim that, well, that's ours because it's in the Bible.
		But they're not, they were never, Japheth was never in line for any promises.
		That was all over here.
		On this one was Shem to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
		So that's when I thought, I need to get this out.
		I need to work on it and put it together, and that's what I did.
		But I also created not just that kind of history, but also I started seeing, oh, The Rothschilds were Jewish.
		Oh, the royal family was Jewish and changed their last name.
		Oh, then I found out that Hitler's father was a bastard child of one of the Rothschilds.
		He had an affair with his maid.
		That was Hitler's father.
		So he's related.
		He's a grandson.
		And I thought, okay, there's too much of a web being weaved here.
		So the more we, my wife Maria and I, the more we studied this and researched and pulled up articles and put it together, I started saying, this Zionism thing, they picked up on this crack in the wall in the 1800s.
		And that's what started all this.
		Everything started around the 1890s, 1880s, bringing in that first Zionist Conference, the Belford Declaration, And it's just, it looked a little too obvious to be a coincidence.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, well, and that's what's so fascinating, you know, as a fan of history, I love going back to, I guess it would have been, was it the 400s or the 700s when the conversion of the Khazarians happened?
		I mean, that whole period was fascinating because you had, basically every group was choosing between Muslim and Christian, and so the Khazarians, they didn't want to You know, alienate the Christians by going Muslim, didn't want to alienate the Muslims by going Christian, chose this third path.
		And so it's interesting just for me from a historical, you know, academic standpoint, but obviously what's going on today with the claims that people in Israel make about being sort of given this land by God, I mean, this has real world consequences now that we're experiencing right now in massive war and All this stuff, of course, it goes back to the Balfour Declaration and why America got into World War I. I mean, it's not just history for history's sake.
		It has real-world consequences that we're living through right now.
		And I love in this book, you go through, you get to the Schofield Bible and the way the Rothschilds play into this and how Israel was sort of a creation of the Rothschild dynasty as a purely political outpost for them.
		Now, it's called The Last Semite.
		Can you explain the title of it in particular?
		I know you told me before we went online, but just to tee it up for you here, who is The Last Semite?
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		In my opinion, it's Yeshua, Jesus.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Jesus Christ.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		Paul said all of the promises were spiritual.
		That's how we need to interpret them.
		But all of the promises were given through Abraham and his seed, singular, and then he says the seed was Jesus.
		So if Jesus is the inheritor of all those promises, then he is the last Semite.
		He didn't have any children.
		Which I think by design.
		Could you imagine the monarchy if they could trace back?
		These are the children and the descendants of Jesus.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Oh, you think the Rothschilds are bad?
		I mean, well, hopefully we're saying it would have been a holy alliance for 2,000 years.
		But...
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		But this is a source of endless fascination, things like the Da Vinci Code speculating that maybe he had a son, and there's the bloodline of Jesus and all this stuff.
		But right, taking the story at face value, he had no son.
		That was the end of the line, meaning the end of the inheritance.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Because in two of the Gospels, you get the lineage of Joseph from the beginning, and you get the lineage of Mary.
		Both of them end at Jesus.
		They don't include his brothers.
		Or sisters.
		It stops right there.
		So it's scintillating.
		It's dramatic.
		And I thought that would be a nice way to put it.
		Because if he's the last Semite, he was the true inheritor of all the promises.
		And I give the verses.
		It's Jude or Titus.
		The promise was eternal life.
		So for all these years, all those people were looking for was eternal life with God.
		So Jesus brought us eternal life.
		So mission accomplished.
		He's the last semi.
		We don't need...
		And that's where the title of the book came from.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and it's...
		And again, I find it endlessly fascinating.
		think a lot of people will too.
		And obviously most people have really only heard the term Semite embedded within anti-Semitism, which is an interesting coin of phrase that came about basically to separate religious or any sort of discussion about Jews as something else.
		It's anti-Semitism.
		And I know I have friends from the Middle East that get mad at that.
		They go, no, I'm a Semite.
		I'm the Semite.
		So if you're against me, you're an anti-Semite.
		And it just sort of becomes confusing.
		But obviously if you're, and again, it's like, in my opinion, this shouldn't matter as much, but you've got people in Israel today making these claims of God gave us this land.
		That's why we have a right to do X, Y, Z.
		That's why this belongs to us.
		It's covenant from God.
		But if that's not true, if the blunt line that they're basing all of this on was fractured or, or, you know, joined later on, then that invalidates the argument that they're making right now for why they're doing some of the things that they're doing.
		So So again, can you get into a little bit about sort of how this ties into modern Zionism and its modern form and function in the geopolitical world?
unidentified		Yeah.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Well, first, if folks don't know, Zionism was created in the 1800s by the Rothschild family through Theodore Herzl.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		He's the one that created the very first Zionist convention.
		So this was a plan, and their generations have carried it out for them, and everyone's on board.
		And this is how it plays out.
		So when, and I mention this in the book, when you consider that the Rothschilds actually did set up Hitler, installed him, and I think by now most Americans in the world are aware of How often political leaders get installed, and they don't get voted on, that that's what happened then.
		They got installed, and there's puppets to do what they wanted.
		So Hitler was installed, and what we appear, he hated Jews, even though he was one, and sacrificed his own people to gain sympathy from the world.
		So, you know, I guess the bad news is six million Judaic adherers, people that follow that faith, were killed.
		The good news is they weren't true biblical Jews because you couldn't trace any of them back.
		And as you mentioned correctly, all of those records were destroyed.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		It could be 100 A.D. and someone could say...
		I'm a descendant of Abraham.
		Prove it.
		Well, the temple burnt down 30 years ago.
		I really can't.
		Well, then you're not.
		The burden of proof is on you to prove you are.
		The burden of proof is not to prove you aren't.
		It's just, no, you're not.
		Prove you are.
		So, with that, and I know that's hard to understand for some people to go, no, you're saying Hitler was a Jew and he sacrificed his own people.
		Well, That's what they did in 66 AD as well.
		John of Gishkala and Simon the Zealot, two Jewish guys, read it, from Josephus.
		They, to gain sympathy for their cause against Rome and to get the troops rallied, they set fire to their own grain supply inside Jerusalem.
		They said it was enough to last for two years.
		And they did that to make people mad enough to rise up against the Romans.
		So this is the playbook, man.
		I mean, this is the art of war.
		This is how you get your people motivated.
		So this was done by Hitler as a puppet.
		And that's kind of what kicked it off.
		That's what got them to sympathy.
		That's what got the state of Israel established.
		You know, they predicted that state of Israel About 40 years before.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		When they said, we will have a state of Israel within 30 years.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Well, you will have it.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		And there was a lot of contention there.
		Like I know, I think, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Theodor Herzl was, you know, he was obviously the sort of instigator of the modern Zionist movement.
		But as I understand it, he was like, he was fine about Madagascar.
		It was more of just a strictly national.
		He was like, we're these stateless people.
		We need a nation to represent us.
		And it didn't bother him as much, you know, where it might land.
		You know, there were, There were suggestions, okay, the Jews can go to Madagascar, and Herzl was fine with that.
		And then it was the Ashkenazi influence from Eastern Europe that said, no, it has to be Israel, it has to be the Middle East.
		East, it was less of a nationalistic, you know, purely nationalistic drive as a religious wanting to fulfill the, you know, prophecies that they believed in.
		And so wanted it has to be the Middle East.
		It has to be, you know, the historical land of Judea.
		And of course, that is sort of set the stage for like a huge number of conflicts that we're experiencing here today.
		So again, you know, all this is ultimately important.
		But, you know, I wonder how to present this, you know, to our Jewish listeners or Jewish friends.
		There's a difference, as you recognize it, between like the religion and practicing Jews and their faith and sort of the bloodline claims that they make, which again, these are things that the prime ministers of Israel will make or, you know, they'll make in order to justify actions Israel takes.
		They'll say, God promised this to my bloodline.
		I'm a descendant 100% genetically.
		I'm Jewish, and if that's not true, then that invalidates that claim.
		So, Again, how do you sort of separate the religion from the bloodline conversation?
		Am I framing that right?
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Or what do you think?
		And that's still the ongoing process of figuring that one out.
		You know, like trying to share a new process.
		It's like, you've got to be delicate.
		I do have some Jewish friends.
		And, yeah, they don't...
		They don't like it.
		One friend in particular, he's passed away, but he presented his 23andMe because his wife said, he got his 23andMe DNA test back and he's 100% Jewish.
		Well, she knew I already had been talking about this.
		You can't be.
		There's nothing to compare it to.
unidentified		Right.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Go find Abraham's bones, scrape up some DNA, then we can go from there forward.
		Me and 23andMe can only go back as far as, like you said, 7th, 8th century, to Khazarin Empire and pull DNA from there.
		So when they're pulling this DNA and saying you're 100%, you're 100% Ashkenazi descendant.
		But those were just all converts.
		But for the Jewish person who follows it as a faith, that's fine.
		You don't have to require that you can trace it all the way back.
		For me, there's a difference.
		I mean, you say Semite, that just means one of the three sons of Noah, Shem.
		What about Ham?
		What about Japheth?
		Are they not nice people?
		Do they not have a faith and worship Yahweh?
		And if they don't believe that Yeshua was the Son of God, then they're no different than the Semite Jew that believes Jesus is not the Son of God, or that's not the one they want to worship.
		So you're really only picking up 33%.
		Of Noah's sons and saying, I descend from him.
		Well, what's wrong with the other two?
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Because the other two never had any promises given to them of inheritance.
		Nothing in the Bible.
		Right.
		The Semite did.
		But again, you've got to go back and you've got to trace your lineage.
		Can you produce DNA all the way through up to Jesus?
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		Well, and, you know...
		Obviously, when you're talking about religion, you're talking about Judaism, Zionism, like, you know, when it's in this historical or spiritual realm, it can be very contentious, people have strong feelings about it, but just looking at it strictly, like, pragmatically, and probably how most of the, you know, leaders of the Zionist movement actually see it from a strictly, like, political perspective, it's very useful to Really to control both sides to have this idea of anti-Semitism out there.
		We talk about this on the show all the time.
		You sort of keep the Gentiles silent by saying, if you criticize this group of people, you're being anti-Semitic, so you better not do that.
		That sort of controls them.
		Meanwhile, you tell all the Jews, hey, there's anti-Semitism out there.
		You can't go be friends with or consort with the non-Jews because they are anti-Semitic and they hate you, so you've got to stay with us.
		We're the ones who protect you.
		It's just a very useful tool Politically, to get what you want, it divides people.
		It keeps them separate, not temporarily, but pretty much forever because it's his holy command.
		It's a thing that repeats over and over.
		I think it was before we were on air that I was talking about the assassination of Alexander II in Russia.
		He was a czar that was trying to liberalize and wanted to bring the Jews who were living in the Russian, you know, the Pale Settlement, this sort of stuff.
		He was trying to sort of include them as just full-fledged citizens in Russia.
		And it was actually a Jewish extremist that assassinated him because the Jews in the area at the time derived their power from their separateness, from the otherness, from this is our community and we have control over it.
		And so it's not blaming the Jews for this otherness.
		It's a tool that's being used by people on both sides.
		The people in power understand that by keeping people separate, it's divide and conquer.
		And it's just very easy.
		It's a very convenient psychological tool to wield, to control populations.
		So, again, you know, I just I know people get it all up in their feelings, as the kids say, when this stuff comes up.
		But just looking at it strictly pragmatically and politically, it makes sense why the people in power would want to.
		Would want to fund a Hitler, for example, because you you don't want the Jews that, you know, you're in control of to become full fledged, normal Germans, because then you lose control of them.
		You want them to feel separate.
		You want them to even feel attacked because that's a useful tool to get them away from everybody else and draw them closer to you.
		It's the same thing that's used from a variety of different populations in a variety of different ways all through human history.
		It's all about control at the end of the day.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and it's the three big words.
		Antisemitism, a denier, a conspiracy theorist.
		You use one of those three words and you'll shut down just about anybody you don't want.
		And that began, once they found out that word worked, oh man.
		Write it in.
		Anti-Semitism.
		That's a great word.
		We'll use that one to shut down the other side.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Because people are nice in general, and they don't want to.
		Because it's like when you call, you say, yo, that's hateful.
		People go, whoa, whoa, I'm not hateful.
		I don't want to be hateful, and I don't hate anybody.
		So I guess I reject that.
		So yeah, it's very useful.
		Because people aren't anti-Semitic.
		They aren't hateful towards people just because of where they were born or religion or whatever.
		But if you can impose that as the understanding, you can silence people.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		I mentioned that in the introduction and the forward, that if I can show that there's no real historical DNA Jews that descend from Shem, then I'm not an anti-Semite.
		If there's no Semites, how can I be anti?
		It's like being anti-dinosaur, anti-Barnam and Bailey Circus, anti-Osmobile.
		They existed at one time, but they don't anymore.
		And I guess there's a romance, especially within the Protestant church.
		American church, in English, the thought That we can get that close to a real Jew.
		Maybe I can touch his hand.
		And then he's completed.
		He believes in Christ.
		And he's a Jew.
		He's so much better than me.
		Oh my gosh!
		At our church tonight, we had a completed Jew.
		It was so wonderful.
		You should have been there.
		It's like, no.
		He's in Christ just like I am.
		In fact, I didn't get led astray by Judaism first.
		I came straight to Christ.
		It doesn't make me better.
		And it's the thing, well...
		Paul said Christ did away with two, the two men, and he made one in him.
		No more Jew, no more Gentile, no slave, no free man, no man, no woman.
		We're all one in Christ.
		How can that be as long as Zionism is allowed to tell us you're separate, you're better because you're Jew?
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		You're not as good.
		You're a stepchild.
		You're a Christian.
unidentified		Right.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		So to me, that's the real antichrist is not Judaism, Zionism.
		That's the political movement that's weaponized the world and has duped our military complex into being their bully.
		And going to bat for.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		And that has been one of the most bizarre things to me, especially in the last year of the Israeli conflict, is seeing the way that fellow American Christians are like, you know, they are religiously dedicated to this idea, even though I see it as strictly it's a nation state.
		It's just another country in the world that America has a relationship with.
		And yet so many people I know who are like really good Christians, they're really loving people.
		And then suddenly they're going, yeah, we should bomb Damascus because that's what the prophecy says.
		And it's like, whoa, what is that about?
		It's very bizarre, and you trace it back, at least in part, I know, to the Schofield Bible.
		For people that don't know, can you talk a little bit about what the Schofield Bible is, how it plays into it, where it came from, all that stuff?
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's interesting, Schofield.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		You know, it was John Darby first that came up with the rapture theory.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		And the one thing in Christianity, and probably in any field of thought, if you say, I have just gotten something nobody else ever has gotten, You better check that out.
		Especially with Christianity.
		There should be nothing new that we find in there that has never been revealed to anybody.
		Well, John Darby says, I got it.
		For 1800 years, this has been hidden and I revealed that Jesus is coming back again.
		And Schofield started to develop the timeframe of we would see this happening and we would see this from Revelation and this from Jeremiah.
		And Schofield kind of put that more together and started spitting it back out and then wanted to create this Bible to go with it.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		It was like a study Bible, right?
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Commentary along with the text, yeah.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		And he did something no one else ever had the webbles to do, and that was put his comments right in the same pages.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		And even Philip Morrow, who was a wonderful theologian in the 30s, Just brilliant.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		He said, this is wrong.
unidentified		Yeah.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Because what ended up happening, people got their Schofield Bible and Oxford Press made sure, which was funded and controlled by the Rothschilds, they made sure they put it in a nice binding and gold edges to make it, you want to carry this one around.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Nothing was really marketed to Like that until the Schofield Bible.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		People would remember his comments more than the verse itself.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		And Schofield would purposely say, well, it says this, but what it really means is in the future when Jesus comes back, when the land is finally restored to Israel.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		And this thing about if you cross Israel, you cross God.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		That was not a verse.
		That was his sayings and a comment.
		So there's proof that people remember Schofield's comments more than they even remember scripture.
		So he developed this, and then it was obvious he was an itinerant preacher from Kansas.
		He got in trouble with the law.
		He abandoned his wife and his daughters.
		Huh.
		Found a way, though, being broke, have enough money to move overseas.
		And work on this Bible.
		Right.
		And he gets in this exclusive club where it's only very rich, wealthy people could get into.
		Someone paid his way into that.
		They introduced him to the editor at Oxford Press.
		Oh, I think we can help you with that.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		So Oxford actually takes the copyright on the Bible.
		And they started changing it, which meant since Schofield didn't have the copyright, He couldn't say anything about what they were doing with it.
		Well, it's interesting that in 1948, there was a new revision released on the Schofield Bible that highlighted certain spots where Israel was supposed to inherit this land.
		The next time they did it was in 1967 during the Seven Day War.
		They just happened to have released it again with even more changes to it, rewording It's just, I say it's sick, but it's just, it was wrong.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		But again, you know, you're This conversation could easily be in the realm of just theologians sitting by a fire talking with no consequence.
		But what we're talking about here is like political decisions being made.
		And I have callers or, you know, we hear from people all the time that are basing their current political beliefs off of this interpretation of Schofield or that the modern nation state of Israel founded by the Rothschilds is the one that's being talked about in the Bible, which I find a little bit silly, to be honest with you.
		I think it's pretty clear that the Israel that exists now, as managed now by fairly secular people and brought about in the first place by input from the Rothschilds, There's no way this is the Israel in the Bible that they're talking about,
		and that seems abundantly clear to me, but there's a lot of people in America that genuinely believe that to the extent that, you know, I've seen churches say, well, don't try to, you know, don't try to convert Jews because they're already saved by virtue of their bloodline.
		And it's like, that's so out of whack from what I read in the words of Jesus in my Bible.
		It just seems crazy that people believe it, but Clearly, it's not just believed by a lot of people.
		It's believed by a lot of people in supreme positions of power to make decisions on the basis of these beliefs.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		If I can find it, I've got that quote from John Hagee.
		Bless his heart.
		John Hagee is the main guy that said...
		You know, don't witness to them.
		They've got their own covenant with God.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Which seems so, again, if you just, as just a layman reading the Bible, it seems so out of whack to me.
		And just while you find it, I'll tell people, again, the book is called The Last Semite by T.J. and Maria Smith.
		You can get it at TJSmithMinistries.com.
		T.J. Smith is my guest today.
		The Last Semite is the latest, the ninth of his nine books, and it deals with Zionism, past and present, and the way it's used politically and the Spiritual underpinnings that justify it.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		Well...
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		You've got too many notes.
unidentified		I know, I do have too many notes.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		It's too jam-packed with information.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		And you brought up the one guy I didn't make a note for.
		Oh, that's funny.
		So John Hagee had said, you know, those Jews living in light of Torah, and they've got their own deal with God.
		And I said, well, that's funny, because Jesus didn't say that, like he said.
unidentified		Right.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		All of Jesus' disciples were Jews.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		The first revival was Jewish.
unidentified		Right.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		And they all converted to Christianity.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		And Paul says there is salvation in no one else other than Jesus Christ, our Lord.
		So, Hagee is from the old school.
		He bought into it.
		I mean, he never got a true theological degree.
		Not as we understand it.
		Doctors or masters or anything.
		And he's bought into the Zionism and the whole rapture thing, which they're really tied.
		You know, if you don't have a rapture, there's no need for Jesus to come back.
		If we're all one in Christ, there's no need for Christ to come back.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and it also always seemed bizarre to me that it's like, I always understood it as like, okay, things might get really bad, in which case Jesus is going to have to come back.
		That's like the only option that humanity has.
		We sort of lost the plot.
		We spoiled our chance.
		So now Jesus has to sort of come and redeem us once again.
		To me, this always seemed like a worst-case scenario, method of last resort, where humanity really screws up and Jesus will come back to pull us out of the fire.
		But it seems like a lot of people are like, they think God needs their help to fulfill this prophecy.
		They think there's this prophecy of Jesus coming back, and so they're like, we better go start the war to kick it off, because Jesus needs our help.
		He needs us to start the war so he can come back.
		That just seems so bizarre to me.
		If Jesus wants to come back, he'll come back.
		You don't need to help him, and you don't need to be designing your beliefs and your actions properly.
		On the basis of trying to fulfill a prophecy.
		If it's a real prophecy, it'll be fulfilled no matter what you do.
		So it probably shouldn't factor into the decisions you make.
		At least that's my interpretation.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Does it remind you of Islam?
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, a little bit.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, a little bit.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		I mean, like, parallel a little bit.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		They wanted a holy war to usher in Muhammad.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		It's very similar.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		The Christians will stand back and go, yeah, I know people are going to die, but man, we're living in the Bible.
		We're right there in the middle of it.
		Just let it happen.
		Well, this is the sterilization of the church that Schofield aimed for.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Put us in a period of lay back, lays off air, don't do anything.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Let it happen because this is playing out and you don't want to be on the wrong side of God.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		When you think about people that use that phrase, if you're on the wrong side of Israel, you're on the wrong side of God, because God will bless those who bless Israel.
		Israel was Jacob after he got his names changed.
		New Testament points to Christ as Israel.
		We Or the new Israel.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		That's who you don't want to mess with, is the new Israel.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		But yet we're the ones who catch, like you were saying earlier in your other show, Yeah.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		You say something wrong, we're the ones that get in trouble. - Yeah, it's very frustrating actually.
		And yeah, it's funny to me, 'cause even when you read the Bible, it doesn't call the land Israel.
		Like the country wasn't even called Israel back then.
		They called it Judea and Samaria, and Israel was the body of people, but those people were all scattered to the winds.
		I mean, it's amazing to me that they have so many people so dedicated to this, especially in positions of power.
		That's the part that sort of baffles my mind.
		It seems like the people that are really dedicated to this idea of fulfilling some sort of prophecy by having Israel take over all of its ancestral lands, it's like it's the people in power in Israel.
		It's the people in power in Israel.
		Under George W. Bush, when we were going to war in the Middle East, and he was talking about Gog and Magog, and you'd be talking to a French ambassador, and the French ambassador would go back and go, I need a Bible scholar, because I don't know what the heck he's talking about.
		But it's like they really believe this and they're making geopolitical decisions based on it.
		They kill a million people in Iraq and Jesus doesn't come back and they don't even question it for a single second.
		It's bizarre.
		And there's a sense of egotism in it too, isn't there?
		Because we have trouble believing that we're not the final generation, that we're not alive during revelations.
		Well, guess what, folks?
		People in the 600s thought they were in the end times.
		People in the 1600s thought they were in the end times.
		Everybody thinks they're the most important generation.
		Maybe it's just your perspective being alive right now that you think now is the time it's going to happen.
		And maybe in 2400, people will be saying the same thing because they were wrong before.
		They're probably wrong again.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, there's a great book I have by Francis Gumerlach, and it talks about the end times.
		And every century, he lists every place around the world that thought Jesus was coming back because the world's getting so bad.
		Every world war, they all thought, this must be it.
		It can't get any worse than this.
		They're still saying it.
		People today, oh, but now it's even worse than ever.
		I'm like, no, it's not.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		You ever heard of the Black Death?
		I mean, half the people in Europe died from a disease you couldn't even see.
		They didn't even know where it came from.
		So, yeah, people these days, they really think, nope, we're the ones.
		It's got to be us.
		It's like, maybe that's a little egotistical of you.
		Maybe...
		Maybe you're not any more important.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		And getting this slow, you know, turning up the water on the frog, getting that slowly pushed on us for 80 years now or 100 years, that has created the sense of, well, first of all, there's no reason to really, really try to understand what the book of the Revelation is about.
		You know, it's difficult.
		Some things you just might never know about.
		Well, if you get the right narrative of what the Bible is about, it makes sense.
		If you get the timeline straight, you can understand what the book of the Revelation is.
		It's not the revelation of the end times.
		The Bible never uses the phrase, the end times.
		It says, the time of the end, the end of what?
		The Old Covenant.
		And the beginning of the new.
		John said in his letters, the time of the end is upon us.
		We're in the last hour.
		But the darkness is fading and the true light is coming.
		The true light was a new covenant with the world through Jesus Christ.
		They'd had 40 years to prepare and get the gospel out.
		So if you filter it through that, like we talked about narrative and hermeneutics, Audience relevance is probably the most important one that we need to learn.
		When he's saying, Jesus said, talking to you disciples here, I will be back before you even die.
		You'll see me return in the glory of my Father.
		But I'm not really saying this to you.
		I'm saying it to people 2,000 years from now.
		I'm just confusing you.
		But it's okay.
		You're collateral damage for now.
		Just stay scared.
		I could come at any second.
		We good?
		Let's go eat.
		It's like, no, He meant that for them.
		Well, in the glory of His Father, what does that mean?
		Well, that phrase, everything Jesus said, typically came from the Old Testament.
		In the glory of the Father, you go back to the Old Testament, you'll find five or six references to the glory of God, and it had to deal with judgment, And him spanking his own people to show them I am the Lord.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Therefore, you will know you're going to go into captivity for seven years.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		You're going to go into captivity for 400 years so that you will know I am God.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		So what happened 70 AD? Jesus said, he told him, now I'm bringing punishment.
		So that you will know I am God.
		So why do people rebel against that?
		They don't want to know He's God.
		They want their own version of God.
		So keeping us...
		Impotent for so long, sitting on the sidelines, circled the wagons, just circled, let's just pray Jesus is coming back, let it get worse.
		There was a prophet, end times guy up in Dallas back in the 80s and 90s, Irvin Baxter.
		I heard him one day on the radio and he said, the worse it gets, the closer Jesus is to coming back.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		So bring it on!
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		You're an idiot, my brother.
		You're an idiot.
		So we have given away all of our rights that we inherited.
		We gave away prayer in schools.
		We gave away the abortion fight.
		We gave away the gay rights.
		We gave it all away.
		See, it's getting worse.
		Jesus must be coming back.
		Gather the wagons.
		The mothership is coming.
		Maybe the drones are angels and they're coming to see what kind of shape we're in.
		It's just, how about we just learn some hermeneutic principles, audience relevance, let's start there.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		No, and I mean, heck, I see it, you know, every day.
		I mean, where is the church in the modern political sphere?
		And I've told the story on the show many, many times, but, you know, at one point during, I think it was the 2020 election, My dad, you know, Episcopalian Church in Houston.
		And he was talking to the priest and going, look, you know, we got all these new judges.
		They're letting people out of prison.
		We got all these illegal immigrants.
		He's like, why don't you try to do something?
		Like, everybody loves hearing the letters from Corinthians.
		That's fascinating.
		We love it.
		We love hearing that stuff.
		But, like, there's stuff happening now that we need insight in.
		There's sin tearing us down right now that needs to be counteracted and confronted.
		And the priest in this big church in Houston literally said to him, like, that's not our spot.
		We have no ability to affect, you know, what am I supposed to do?
		And it's like you lead a giant congregation of wealthy people in Houston.
		Like, you could actually really help to set things right and help to bring about the peace and the justice that Christianity represents.
		But instead, they just abandoned the physical world, the modern world, to this idea of, like, there's nothing we can do, and heck, the worse it gets, the closer to Jesus we are, so why would we even want to stop that progression to...
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Don't get in the way of God!
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, so again, this isn't just theological pontificating.
		This is like real-world consequences where the churches have been lulled into this belief that, A, they can't do anything, shouldn't do anything, and that doing something would be counteractive because the worse things get the closer to Jesus we are.
		I mean, that's an incredibly damaging mindset for our modern American churches.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		We've lost so much territory that God gave us to inherit peace.
		You know, I mean, just start with peace on the earth.
		It's just, it's been sad.
		And if we can start to turn it around, which I think since 2020, a lot of Americans are waking up.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		I think so, yeah.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Thanks to guys like you and Alex and Joe and Laura and just a lot of people on social media that are helping spread their word, exposing lies, exceptions, corruption.
		I think we're waking up.
		And I think maybe we can learn the lesson that we were able to turn this abortion thing back to the states because we wouldn't give up.
		We kept pushing our congresspeople.
		No, this is not right.
		We got a guy in the office that kind of saw the logic behind it, even though he's kind of a Zionist supporter.
		Maybe he'll read the book.
		But...
		And I'm saying, once you read the book, don't grab a pitchfork and a torch.
		That's not where we start.
		We do it by dismantling politically what this is and getting people to realize, ah, you know what?
		They're supposed to inherit this land.
		But DJ showed me in the book all those verses where God says, I gave it to you.
		And you are dwelling in it.
		And your enemies are at your feet.
		And you're living what I gave you.
		Mission accomplished.
		He already gave it.
		Well, but I'm supposed to get it too.
		No, you're not.
		He wasn't talking to you.
		Audience relevance.
		He did what he said he would do.
		So the same verses that they're calling back to, if you keep reading, you'll see he gave it to them.
		He wasn't slowing his promise to deliver.
		He did exactly what he said he was going to do.
		And so did Jesus.
		Jesus did exactly what he said.
		I'm going to get rid of Jew and Gentile.
		Paul said it three times in his letters.
		Three different groups of Christians.
		He got rid of them.
		Why do we still have them?
		Why is there still a division between us?
		Paul says Christ did away with that dividing wall of hostility.
		Which, what was it?
		Jew against Gentile.
unidentified		He got rid of it.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		I think we were talking before we went live.
		It just makes so much sense to me.
		The more I learn about history, the more sort of convinced in Christianity I am.
		Because it makes perfect sense that in this time period where you have empires rising and falling and you have chaos and murder and just genocide taking place where people would just go wipe each other out and the Achaemite Empire would come in and just stomp you into the dirt.
		It makes sense that you would, you know, God entrusted his revelation to this specific tribe of people and he said, look, you're going to have to be tough.
		You're going to have to be hard.
		You're going to have to be exclusive.
		they never would have survived if he gave them the go love everybody lesson.
		They would have said, oh, you love us?
		Great.
		On the floor, sir.
		So in this time period of barbarism and chaos and violence, they had to be tough.
		They had to be hard.
		I always picture it like an egg, right?
		It's like you had to be this tough shell because you had to protect the revelation that you'd been given to a time period until Jesus came.
		That's the egg cracking.
		The bird comes out.
		The world is reset.
		There's a reason why we now call it the common era.
		It happened to arrive at Jesus' birth, the common era.
		Everything had to be put into place.
		The Greeks had to come in and Hellenize the entire area.
		And then the Romans had to have this giant slave population that would serve as the kindling for the fire to take root.
		So everything historically had to be put into place.
		The Jews had a very specific, hardcore set of strictures that they had to follow.
		But then as soon as Jesus came, those became unnecessary and indeed counterproductive for what God's desire was.
		And to me, that just makes perfect sense.
		It all fits.
		That's the way God operates.
		He was putting things into place.
		Jews had a set of rules.
		But as soon as Jesus came, he'll be the first to tell you.
		He came and said, here's your old rule.
		Here's the new one.
		That old rule is passe.
		It's out.
		My friend's a stand-up, and he's like, of course they killed Jesus.
		What do you think the government would do if I went into the DMV and said, nobody needs driver's licenses, right?
		He just showed up and said, actually, I'm changing all of the laws.
		Of course that made him mad, and they didn't want him doing that.
		Sorry for the rambling, but it just makes so much sense to me, the historical context of all of this and how we got to where we are today.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		Yeah, it's...
		Hopefully we can start to turn it.
		More and more people are saying, I get it.
		I get it.
		The challenge is, how do we stop it without our political leaders going, okay, I see it too.
		Yeah, we can still remain friends with Israel.
		But not for those reasons.
		The context is everything.
		Why are we helping them?
		Well, because there's problems in the Bible.
		Once you realize it's not, what are you going to do?
		I used to think we had to protect Israel because that whole area hated them.
		Everybody hated them because they're the real people of God.
		Now I see maybe the whole area hated them because of who they really were and what they were doing to all the other nations using us as their bodyguard.
unidentified		Right.
tj smith ▲ ● ▼		I was like, wow, we've been duped.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right.
		Right.
		And of course, the people hate us because they see us, you know, America and before us, the British Empire, as the vessels by which their houses are taken or, you know, livestock slaughtered or, you know, family killed.
		So, you know, why are we taking the blame for all of this when it doesn't even benefit us in the first place?
		It's all based on this, I think, misinterpretation.
		I think deliberate misinterpretation by people like the Rothschilds who...
		I seriously doubt have any belief in any of this anyway, but see it as an extremely useful tool for keeping their people separate and in line and the other people separate and in line.
		It's all about control at the end of the day, and it's spiritual malfeasance and manipulation at its most...
		I guess you could say.
