This is my message to Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister. | |
| Prime Minister, if I was one of your Labour MPs, and I'm glad I'm not, I would be voting in support of the Conservative Amendment to the Schools Bill today that demands a national investigation into the organised, networked, appalling gang rape, mass rape of young white women and girls. | ||
| By predominantly Pakistani Muslim men. | ||
| Why would I be doing that? | ||
| Well, first of all, I wouldn't care about the cost. | ||
| I wouldn't care about whether or not there have been other investigations. | ||
| And I don't care whether you are satisfied that enough work has been done. | ||
| The fact is the nation needs this investigation. | ||
| It needs it because everybody, every man, woman and child in this nation, law-abiding man, woman and child in this nation, including you... | ||
| Needs the confidence to know, beyond all shadow of a doubt, that this is not still going on. | ||
| We have found that GB News court reports showing gangs operating in 50 towns, 50 towns across the country. | ||
| Are you certain, Prime Minister, it's not going on today? | ||
| Why don't you order a national public inquiry to join the dots between 50 towns, not six, barely mentioned in the jail report? | ||
| Are you afraid it might expose failings as your role as a DPP? And that's why Elon Musk says, were you complicit in the rape of Britain? | ||
| You have not... | ||
| To go after the far right on this does not go to the heart of the problem. | ||
| This doesn't need more consultation. | ||
| It doesn't need more research. | ||
| It just needs action. | ||
| So let's call this problem out for what it is. | ||
| Predominantly... | ||
| A small minority of largely Pakistani Muslim men in West Yorkshire, including, I am sad to say, in Keithley and across the Bradford district, that have been sexually exploiting young children for far too long. | ||
| And the Pakistani community are quite rightly outraged that the entire community is being branded with the same accusation. | ||
| But Madam Deputy Speaker... | ||
| That is the very nub of this issue. | ||
| It is not being dealt with. | ||
| This has got nothing to do with stoking up racial tensions. | ||
| It is about the difference between right and wrong and fundamentally is about protecting young children. | ||
| This is one of the most important debates that we have to be having in this house. | ||
| And look at the other side. | ||
| This is the only member that has turned up to this debate. | ||
| It's just the beginning. | ||
| What they have planned for our little ones. | ||
| I wish to raise a matter this afternoon for the attention of the Minister for Education. | ||
| And I have to say, it is not often in this job I am absolutely shocked. | ||
| I thought I'd seen everything. | ||
| But this one is just beyond words. | ||
| It is a note from a constituent who says, Hi Bernie, this is a worksheet that my 10-year-old daughter brought home from school. | ||
| And it includes a photo of the worksheet. | ||
| Part of her homework was to discuss with her father his erections and ejaculation. | ||
| I find this very disturbing and sickening, as indeed do I, I have to say. | ||
| What the hell is going on in this state when 10-year-old girls are told to go home and talk to your father about his erections and about his ejaculations? | ||
| What the hell is going on here? | ||
| We're delighted that the Family Sex Show will be on in May. | ||
| I'm going to hand over to Josie, the artistic director of this egg, to say a little more. | ||
| I run this egg and I have been making and producing the Family Sex Show along with lots of other people over the last few years. | ||
| Family Sex Show is a fun and playful show for adults and children aged five and up. | ||
| It offers an honest human sex education that is feminist, queer, non-binary, inclusive and sex positive. | ||
| We can allow audiences of all ages to feel confident about their bodies, their boundaries, and their sexual health. | ||
| And we really hope to see you here. | ||
| So those of us that stand up for the little ones, they're going to be attacked. | ||
| We're going to be demonized. | ||
| We're going to be shot. | ||
| We're going to be killed. | ||
| We're going to be imprisoned. | ||
| We're going to be tortured. | ||
| We're going to be... | ||
| A lot of things are going to happen to a lot of us. | ||
| But at the end of the day, ladies and gentlemen, God is watching and God is in control. | ||

We'll be right back on the other side of your daily dispatch for this Thursday, the 16th of January. | |
| Don't go anywhere, folks. | ||
| It's Thursday, January 16th 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. | ||
| Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Welcome to The American Journal. | ||
| I'm your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
| Good show for you today. | ||
| We'll be joined in the third hour by Devin Tracy, a.k.a. | ||
| Atheism is Unstoppable. | ||
| Actually had his childhood home burned down in the California fires. | ||
| We're going to get an update to that situation with him as well as probably talk about some other stuff as well, including the interesting transformation, metamorphosis of the likes of the Young Turks and other liberals who are seeing the light after so long peddling darkness. | ||
| Very excited to talk to him. | ||
| We'll take your calls throughout the second hour. | ||
| I'm probably going to open up calls for new callers today. | ||
| And, of course, we're going to get into all the big news over the last 24 hours. | ||
| And, well, let me see, 22 hours, because it was basically the minute we went off air that the Israel Hamas ceasefire was announced. | ||
| So we'll get into that. | ||
| We'll get very much into that. | ||
| We'll begin today, as we do every day, with our daily dispatch. | ||
| All right, here it is, folks. | ||
| Your Daily Dispatch for Thursday, the 16th of January, 2025. Washington Post cartoonist Darren Bell arrested for child material. | ||
| Too early for this to be the first story, but here we are. | ||
| Darren Bell, a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist whose work appears in the Washington Post and other newspapers across the U.S., has been arrested for possessing... | ||
| Child photographs, according to law enforcement in California. | ||
| Sergeant Amar Gandhi of the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office said the investigation began after someone uploaded 18 files containing child abuse materials to an online service. | ||
| Further investigation revealed a total of 134 videos containing the banned material. | ||
| A search warrant was executed at Bell's home on Wednesday after it was determined that he owned and controlled the account. | ||
| Sergeant Gandhi said Bell was taken into custody and booked into the Sacramento... | ||
| County Main Jail for possession of this content. | ||
| We might talk about that a little bit later. | ||
| It's just, it's not going to surprise you to search this guy's name and go find all of the work that he's been involved in recently. | ||
| Something about outspoken liberal activists in the media. | ||
| They got a thing for kids. | ||
| And racism. | ||
| So, not really. | ||
| Unexpected, I guess you could say. | ||
| And this will be a recurring theme throughout today's show. | ||
| See if you can find the through line. | ||
| See if you can find the similarities between many of the leftist psychopaths that we talk about, whether it's the Pentagon operator caught on tape by James O'Keefe plotting to overthrow the U.S. president's office with the help of four-star generals. | ||
| Who was also caught in a sting trying to meet a child? | ||
| Or the Washington Post cartoonist pumping out easily digestible propaganda? | ||
| They all have something in common. | ||
| And it's disgusting. | ||
| Meanwhile, nutritionists react to red food dye ban, saying it took far too long. | ||
| The US FDA, this was actually broke during the show yesterday, announced the ban this week on red dye number three. | ||
| From foods and oral medications due to potential cancer risks. | ||
| Food manufacturers have until January 2027 to remove the dye from their product. | ||
| And drug manufacturers have until January 2028, the Associated Press reported. | ||
| The dye was removed from cosmetics nearly 35 years ago for the same cancer-related concerns. | ||
| Following this Wednesday, announcement of the new ban, nutritionists and other health experts applauded the removal of the additives from America's food supply, saying it took far, far too long. | ||
| And it is one of the most commonly used dyes in foodstuffs. | ||
| But I have the feeling that they'll ban it and you will not really notice. | ||
| I have a feeling you're not really going to notice. | ||
| Your body will notice. | ||
| The cancer slowly forming in your cells will notice. | ||
| But you're not really going to notice. | ||
| I'm saying that because I think they gave them two years. | ||
| I think they'll figure out something else. | ||
| I don't think it's actually necessary to have these things that cause cancer in the foods. | ||
| I think it's a choice they're making. | ||
| I think they could easily find an alternative that works just as well but doesn't cause cancer. | ||
| But then again, who knows? | ||
| It could either be that they take out red dye number three and it's fine and everything looks the same and it's normal. | ||
| Or they're going to replace it with some other material that's just as cancerous and we won't find that out for another 35 years because they tend to do that. | ||
| They tend to do that type of thing. | ||
| Meanwhile, first U.S. congestion pricing scheme brings dramatic drop to New York traffic. | ||
| New Yorkers are cruising much faster along Manhattan's bridges and tunnels since their city implemented its long-debated congestion pricing plan earlier this month. | ||
| According to newly available traffic data, morning rush hour speeds from New Jersey through the Holland Tunnel, the main route under the Hudson River into Manhattan, has almost doubled to 28 miles per hour compared with a year ago. | ||
| Evening speeds over the Manhattan Bridge to Brooklyn has increased from 13 miles an hour to 23 miles per hour. | ||
| If these trends hold, motorists willing to pay the $4.50 to $14.40 toll to enter the congestion zone in the center of the U.S.'s busiest city will save thousands of hours per year they currently waste crawling through the smoggy tunnels or over-clogged bridges. | ||
| We've shown you some videos of this. | ||
| It's dramatic, I'll tell you that. | ||
| I mean, it makes Manhattan look like a ghost town, which is crazy that a $9 tax could have that effect. | ||
| But of course, it's not about improving traffic time or dealing with congestion. | ||
| It's about setting the precedent for charging you to leave your home and neighborhood, about costing extra money to travel. | ||
| And basically, that's going to be implemented. | ||
| Across the entire country, soon it's already implemented in places like the UK, to devastating effect. | ||
| But they're just going to keep doing it unless we stand up against it. | ||
| Meanwhile, security agencies warn of threat to inauguration. | ||
| The FBI, Secret Service and other security and law enforcement agencies are warning of threats to President Trump's inauguration, which takes place in Washington, D.C. on Monday. | ||
| In private threat assessment obtained by Politico, these agencies warned that individuals or groups with election-related grievances may see the event as their last opportunity to influence the election results through violence. | ||
| The assessment, which was produced by the FBI, Secret Service and Capitol Police, among others, doesn't specify any particular threat. | ||
| It describes a number of potential scenarios, including foreign terrorist attacks attacked by domestic extremists, bomb hoaxes by individuals, the use of drones in vehicle attacks. | ||
| Iran is named in the report as a particular threat, given the Islamic State's vow to revenge itself on Trump for the killing of General Qasem Soleimani. | ||
| I don't think that's actually going to happen. | ||
| Actually, I think because of this next story, because of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, I would think that any Middle East country who was potentially planning an attack probably wouldn't do that. | ||
| They probably wouldn't do that. | ||
| Why would they? | ||
| We now have a six-week ceasefire. | ||
| With Gaza, the main conflict of the Arab world, why would they kick the hornet's nest here as they basically achieve victory, if not victory at least, avoided defeat with this ceasefire? | ||
| No, they avoided pointing out specific threats other than Iran because they're obviously coming from the left. | ||
| But this is the way it's reported. | ||
| If it's threats from the right, it'll be... | ||
| You'll be told that. | ||
| It'll be right-wing white supremacists to domestic terrorists are plotting things, and we have to target them. | ||
| When it's left-wing terrorists planning something, it's vague threats. | ||
| There may be bombing attempts from unrelated people. | ||
| We don't really know. | ||
| They're just your average American domestic terrorist to pay no heed to their ideological bent. | ||
| Obviously, it's not going to be Trump supporters attacking the Trump inauguration, but... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| They assume Americans are too stupid to realize that and frame it in a way that makes it sound like anybody could be attacking. | ||
| It's probably those white supremacists we keep hearing so much about, if I had to guess. | ||
| And finally, we have this. | ||
| Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal brings hope. | ||
| But Gaza bombing continues as hostage families hold their breath. | ||
| The deal reached between Israel and Hamas for a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release immediately brought jubilation to thousands of people across the decimated Palestinian territory. | ||
| But both there and on the streets of Israel, hope was still constrained by anxiety on Thursday morning. | ||
| The jitters were fueled by both increasing bloodshed in Gaza and doubt cast by Israel's leader on the solidity of the deal announced the previous evening. | ||
| Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that a last-minute crisis with Hamas was delaying Israel's final approval in the long-sought truce. | ||
| Israeli media reports suggest that the delay was likely down to Netanyahu trying to buy time to deal with nationalist hardliners in his cabinet who've always fiercely opposed any agreement with Hamas. | ||
| So as I understand it, where this is now is there's a ceasefire agreement. | ||
| It is not particularly advantageous to Israel. | ||
| It's actually got some pretty interesting clauses in it. | ||
| Israel will be releasing upwards of a thousand Palestinian detainees, as they put it. | ||
| They don't call them hostages. | ||
| Something like 33 Israeli hostages will be released over those six weeks. | ||
| That's about one-third of the remaining hostages still in Gaza. | ||
| But they've also barred any inclusion of issues over the West Bank. | ||
| As Israel wanted to annex that, you also have areas in northern Gaza that Israel was looking forward to making official Israeli territory that will remain in the hands of Hamas under Gaza. | ||
| Hamas itself is still up and operating. | ||
| This is a very good thing. | ||
| It's a very, very good thing. | ||
| It did come about because of Donald Trump. | ||
| This was not Biden. | ||
| He's trying to take credit for it. | ||
| But I'll lay out the arguments on both sides, and clearly there's a reason this is happening. | ||
| Just four days before the inauguration of Donald Trump, and that is to both avoid the consequences of Donald Trump getting into office without a deal having been made, and of course the Biden team wanting to get this done in order to take credit for it, knowing it would likely happen immediately after Trump got inaugurated anyway. | ||
| So might as well take the credit for it. | ||
| Again, everybody involved has, except for the Biden team, basically has acknowledged that it was Trump's envoy. | ||
| That really was, in their words, quote, twisting arms to get this deal done. | ||
| So we told you so. | ||
| So we told you so. | ||
| Trump is the peace president, and he's already making peace, and he hasn't even gotten into office. | ||
| Here's Donald Trump's statement on this. | ||
| The epic ceasefire agreement could have only happened as a result of our historic victory in November, as it signaled to the entire world that my administration would seek peace and negotiate deals to ensure the safety of all Americans and our allies. | ||
| I'm thrilled American and Israeli hostages will be returning home to be reunited with their families and loved ones. | ||
| With this deal in place, my national security team, through the efforts of the Special Envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, will continue to work closely with Israel and our allies to make sure that Gaza never again becomes a terrorist safe haven. | ||
| We will continue promoting peace through strength throughout the region as we build on the momentum of this ceasefire to further expand the historic Abraham Accords, and this is only the beginning of the great things to come for America and indeed the world. | ||
| We have achieved so much without even being in the White House. | ||
| Just imagine all of the wonderful things that will happen when I return to the White House and my administration is fully confirmed so they can secure more victories for the United States. | ||
| And again, so where this is now is it's supposed to be approved by the Israeli Knesset, I guess, their parliament or at least some committee therein. | ||
| The biggest barrier to this is going to be the... | ||
| Israeli cabinet with Netanyahu's party and the hardline right-wingers. | ||
| Netanyahu himself has reason to avoid the end of this conflict as if it's not done to the satisfaction of the people. | ||
| On the right wing of his party he will be ousted and will then face corruption charges that have been awaiting him for years at this point while he's still in office. | ||
| I guess we can get more into this a little bit later. | ||
| There's other stuff I want to talk about first, but we'll return to that in just a second. | ||
| Just know this is all thanks to you for voting for Donald Trump and that if the ceasefire holds, which it looks like it will, this is a very long time coming, it's a six-week ceasefire. | ||
| Throughout that six weeks, the 1,000 Palestinian hostages and the 33 Israeli hostages will be returned in a... | ||
| In a slow drip fashion, not all at once, but in pairs and small caches of transfers. | ||
| It looks like it'll be approved and it looks like this will be the end to this particular flare-up of the ongoing Mideast conflict that's been raging for decades at this point. | ||
| And while obviously Gaza is not exactly sitting pretty, The entire place has basically been leveled at this point, and Hamas has been largely destroyed, but is still in power. | ||
| So, all in all, sort of a giant defeat for Israel. | ||
| Didn't get rid of Hamas, not going to get the canal, not going to get the beachfront property. | ||
| Basically haven't gotten anything, and there's still going to be 60-plus hostages held in Gaza. | ||
| Even though they're being forced to return thousands of detainees. | ||
| And maybe I'll pull in some videos because it is interesting how this is reported. | ||
| How with just no sense of irony or acknowledgement of the subjectivity of the statement. | ||
| How they just go from how many Israeli hostages will be released. | ||
| And what about the Palestinian detainees that are being furloughed? | ||
| And it's like, okay, alright. | ||
| One is legitimate and one isn't. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| Makes sense. | ||
| Makes a lot of sense. | ||
| So we don't know. | ||
| I mean, this is not a great deal for Israel. | ||
| Honestly, they're not getting much of anything that they really want. | ||
| The Israeli people want this because they're sick and tired and exhausted of war and want to just get back to living their lives. | ||
| But the people who are looking to use this conflict to annex all of Gaza or create... | ||
| You know, get the oil or create pipeline like they're really not getting anything that they want. | ||
| And, you know, it may it may still be scuttled from the right wing in Israel, not being satisfied with conditions, but likely it will go through again. | ||
| We'll get back into that in just a little bit. | ||
| There have been some there are some more hearings going on that I want to tell you about. | ||
| Before I do that, I do want to remind you about this beautiful coin, this beautiful 47 Donald J. Trump commemorative silver coin battle for the Republic 2024. Fight, fight, fight. | ||

| Pam Bondi was interrogated yesterday in the Senate as part of her confirmation hearing. | ||
| Some interesting videos coming out of that. | ||
| You also had John Ratcliffe, the potential or incoming CIA director. | ||
| More interesting comments from him. | ||
| We'll go to a comment from his questioning first. | ||
| Clip number one, CIA director nominee John Ratcliffe. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| Candidate Biden's son, Ratcliffe, was the only person in the IC intelligence community to actually tell the truth to the American people. | ||
| A feather in his cap and really a condemnation for the rest of our corrupt spy network police state. | ||
| Let's go to clip number one now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
In 2020, when a chairman of an intelligence committee misrepresented that... | |
| A laptop owned by then-candidate Biden's son was somehow a Russian intelligence operation. | ||
| And 51 former intelligence officials used the imprimatur of IC authority to go along with that. | ||
| I stood in the breach. | ||
| I stood alone and told the American people the truth about that. | ||
| So I think my record in terms of speaking truth to power... | ||
| And defending the intelligence community and its good work is very clear. | ||
| And what I can assure you is those types of instances, if I'm in that position as CIA director and have to do that again, as uncomfortable as that can be to be accused, the truth will ultimately defend itself. | ||
| And I think that intelligence will as well. | ||
| Again, it's not a bad point. | ||
| Hunter Biden Laptop was a partisan domestic disinformation campaign. | ||
| I mean, again, it is a severe condemnation of our entire intelligence service that this lie was spread so egregiously. | ||
| And even to this day, they don't back down. | ||
| They say, well, we said it has all the hallmarks. | ||
| And it does. | ||
| It does have all the hallmarks, which is why I like the way John Ratcliffe said it was misrepresented. | ||
| They didn't lie technically in the most... | ||
| You know, strict sense of the word. | ||
| It wasn't an outright lie, but misrepresentation is one way to put it. | ||
| I'm going to go to these Pam Bondi clips in just a second. | ||
| I do want to go to Joe Biden. | ||
| Joe Biden had a final message for America that he hardly could stay awake through. | ||
| But he had a weird message about the Statue of Liberty. | ||
| Let's listen to this. | ||
| Clip number three. | ||
| This is from Joe Biden's farewell address to the nation yesterday. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
| In New York Harbor, an iron worker installed beam after beam, day after day. | ||
| He was joined by steel workers, stonemasons, engineers. | ||
| They built not just a single structure, but a beacon of freedom. | ||
| The very idea of America was so big, we felt the entire world needed to see. | ||
| The Statue of Liberty. | ||
| The Statue of Liberty is not standing still. | ||
| Her foot literally steps forward atop a broken chain of human bondage. | ||
| She's on the march, and she literally moves. | ||
| She's built a sway back and forth to withstand the fury of stormy weather, to stand the test of time because storms are always coming. | ||
| She sways a few inches, but she never falls into the current below. | ||
| An engineering marvel. | ||
| The Statue of Liberty is also an enduring symbol of the soul of our nation. | ||
| A soul shaped by forces that bring us together and by forces that pull us apart. | ||
| And yet through good times and tough times, we've bestowed it all. | ||
| A nation of pioneers and explorers. | ||
| Of dreamers and doers. | ||
| Of ancestors native to this land. | ||
| Of ancestors who came by force. | ||
| A nation of immigrants who came to build a better life. | ||
| A nation holding the torch of the most powerful idea ever in the history of the world. | ||
|

|
That all of us, all of us are created equal. | |
| That all of us deserve to be treated with dignity, justice, and fairness. | ||
| You know, pretty moving stuff, honestly. | ||
| It was a great statement. | ||
| A few things wrong with it, though. | ||
| This is saying, thanks. | ||
| Symbolism is important. | ||
| Facts are important. | ||
| For one thing, the Statue of Liberty was not built beam by beam by steelworkers in the New York Harbor. | ||
| It was built in France, actually. | ||
| So we just got that completely wrong, but facts never got in his way before. | ||
| Also, the Statue of Liberty is stepping forward because it's supposed to be shining the light of liberty to the world, not welcoming the world in. | ||

| In fact, before I go to these videos of Pam Bondi's hearing, because I do want to go to a few of these, there's some interesting mentions of things like QAnon. | ||
| And I think we can glean some information from. | ||
| But before we do that, I want to go to clip number 10. Just a little comedy skit I think we can all relate to. | ||

|
Let's watch. | |
| That rag was washed with toxic laundry detergent. | ||
| It's in the fabric. | ||
| The soil is devoid of all nutrients. | ||
| The apple will have no nutritional value. | ||
| Yeah, it could be tough sometimes. | ||
| It could be tough. | ||
| That's the voice in your head when you're trying to avoid toxins in the world around you. | ||
| Yeah, it's practically impossible. | ||
| Although not really. | ||
| I mean, taking all those examples. | ||
| I mean, I don't know. | ||
| Watch that. | ||
| I've had this exact thing where it's like, gotta wash the apple. | ||
| It's got pesticides. | ||
| Water's got chemicals in it too. | ||
| Even the filtered water is in a plastic container. | ||
| The paper towels are poison and the laundry detergent is poison. | ||
| Why is everything poison? | ||
| But of course, it's not really that big of a deal. | ||
| It mostly comes down to whether or not you use disposable things or not. | ||
| Just use glass instead of plastic. | ||
| Use laundry detergent that doesn't have poisonous chemicals. | ||
| And don't use paper towels. | ||
| Just don't use things that are one-time use. | ||
| And that's a good place to start. | ||
| That's at least a good place to start. | ||
| But really, the point is that... | ||
| No matter how hard you try, you're never going to be able to eliminate totally the poisons and toxins in the world around you. | ||
| So you have to do other things to counteract and combat that. | ||
| One of them is by supplementing with good supplements in order that those get absorbed and not the dangerous materials in your food. | ||
| And just counteracting things like estrogen mimickers by trying to regulate your hormones through other supplementation. | ||
| You'll never be able to eliminate it completely, but you can avoid... | ||
| A lot of it, and even in ways that you don't really think about, especially things like shower head filters or air filters. | ||
| People don't think about the plastic particles floating around in the air or the chemicals that you're breathing in the shower when it gets all steamed up. | ||
| So just make sure you're protecting yourself and doing everything you can to counteract this. | ||
| Again, even growing your own food, the soil is depleted of nutrients, so you just have to be supplementing one way. | ||

| All right, let's go to some of these videos of Pam Bondi being questioned here. | ||
| We had a little less hysterical shrieking than the Pete Hegseth confirmation. | ||
| They couldn't deploy most of their... | ||
| Their usual smears against Pam Bondi, seeing as she is a woman. | ||
| A 60-year-old woman, by the way, which is astonishing. | ||
| And she is apparently part Nephilim. | ||
| I think she's part Nephilim because she looks like she's about 25. Let's go to clip number five first. | ||
| This is Pam Bondi breaking Adam Schiff like the pencil that he is. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||

...has called for it publicly. | |
| You are aware of that, aren't you? | ||
| No one has asked me to investigate this. | ||
| We're also worried about Liz Cheney, Senator. | ||
| You know what we should be worried about? | ||
| The crime rate in California right now is the way of the roof. | ||
| Your robberies are 87% higher than the national average. | ||
| That's what I want to be focused on, Senator, if I'm confirmed as Attorney General. | ||
| And what you're suggesting today by your non-answer is you don't have the independence to say no to the president. | ||
| So let me ask you a different question. | ||
| It also requires you, if you're going to be a good attorney general, to be able to tell hard truths to the president. | ||
| So my questions now are, can you tell hard truths to the president? | ||
| So let me start with an easy truth that you could speak to the president. | ||
| Can you tell us? | ||
| Can you tell him? | ||
| That Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. | ||
| Can you say that? | ||
| Do you have the independence to say that? | ||
| Do you have the gravitas, the stature, the intestinal fortitude to say, Donald Trump, you lost the 2020 election? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Can you tell us that here today? | |
| Senator, what I can tell you is I will never play politics. | ||
| You're trying to engage me in a gotcha. | ||
| I won't play politics with any ongoing investigation, like you did leaking your colleague Devin Nunes' memo. | ||
| I will look at every file I am asked to look at. | ||
| Of course you won't. | ||
| So will you advise the president? | ||
| Can I answer the question? | ||
| I would have plenty of staff. | ||
| You said, of course you want? | ||
| You'll be able to review hundreds of cases on Thursday? | ||
| Listen, I'm not going to mislead this body, nor you. | ||
| All right, let me ask another question. | ||
| You don't want to ask that. | ||
| Let me ask another question. | ||
| You were censored by Congress for comments just like this. | ||
| You were censored by Congress for comments just like this. | ||
| He doesn't learn. | ||
| No, he doesn't learn. | ||
| But I want to explain what he just attempted to deploy there. | ||
| A very simple rhetorical and psychological manipulation that I find myself very familiar with, actually. | ||
| And it's funny that people try to pull this off. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't really have the words to explain it. | ||
| I'm sure there are academic designations for what exactly this is. | ||
| But it's pretty simple. | ||
| He basically is challenging her to prove that she will stand up to Trump. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It seems so obvious to me. | ||
| It's like... | ||
| Either you say what I want you to say or therefore it proves that you are scared to go up against Trump and you're just a lackey and you're a kiss-ass and you're afraid to speak up and tell the truth. | ||
| It's such a simple manipulation and that's literally all it is. | ||
| And I see it over and over again on places like X. We're just like, say this thing that I want you to say or else, therefore, it proves that you're controlled and not allowed to say things. | ||
| And it's like, I was never, I'm not going to say that. | ||
| I was never going to say that. | ||
| The only person trying to get me to say things here, trying to control my speech, is you. | ||
| It's very frustrating and it's very amateur and it's sad to see it deployed in such a blatant way by a sitting congressman. | ||
| Pam Bondi fends off onslaught from Democratic senators in fiery clash during confirmation hearing. | ||
| Not going to be bullied by you. | ||
| And that's all it is. | ||
| Yeah, it's literally bullying. | ||
| And of course, it's just a fake frame-up. | ||
| See, what this is from the Democrats is pure, unadulterated projection. | ||
| See, in their world, you don't question the person above you. | ||
| You don't tell the person above you something that they don't want to hear. | ||
| You know, internal whistleblowers or just, you know, internal people speaking out from the Kamala Harris camp or the Biden camp or really any Democrat. | ||
| And time and time again, you hear the report of, yeah, if you contradict them, if you question them, if you don't have something right, they flip out and start yelling at you and start berating you and probably fire you if you're lucky. | ||
| That's the way they operate. | ||
| You can't tell me that's the way Trump operates. | ||
| We've seen the opposite, actually. | ||
| I think if anybody in Washington would be open to hearing contradicting information, it'd be Donald Trump. | ||
| He's actually very good at that. | ||
| It's you people that are insufferable jackasses underneath the veneer of friendliness. | ||
| So I think that was pure projection. | ||
| But then layered on top of that was this challenge to Pam Bondi's honor, basically. | ||
| Going either, you know, if you don't say what I want you to, if you don't disavow your president right now, it means that you are scared of him and he's controlling you and you are a weak slave of that person. | ||
| You're not a slave, are you? | ||
| Say what I want you to say. | ||
| Say it now. | ||
| Yeah, happens all the time. | ||
| It's very childish. | ||
| It's Adam Schiff, so you are what you eat. | ||
| Let's go to clip number eight now. | ||
| Senator Adam Schiff acts like a child and figuratively covers his ears while questioning Pam Bondi about the 2020 election in particular. | ||
| Here's Adam Schiff again trying to get her to say that the 2020 election was legit and totally cool and good. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
|

|
Was there massive fraud affecting the result of the 2020 election, yes or no? | |
| Senator... | ||
| I'm glad you asked that question, if you'll let me answer what I saw in Pennsylvania. | ||
| No, I asked a simple question about massive fraud. | ||
| I can only tell you what I saw in Pennsylvania. | ||
| I know you want to answer a different question, but my question is, can you tell us whether there was massive fraud affecting the results of the 2020 election, yes or no? | ||
| Was there or was there not? | ||
| I can tell you what I saw when I went as an advocate to the campaign. | ||
| That's not my question. | ||
| So you can't answer that question. | ||
| You can't speak that. | ||
| Even easy truth to us, let alone to the president. | ||
| So let me ask you a different question. | ||
| It would be so easy for you to say this, but you're being obstinate and not saying the thing I want you to say. | ||
| Say the thing I want you to say. | ||
| Pathetic. | ||
| Why ask questions if you're not going to hear the answer? | ||
| Answer the question. | ||
| You ask her a question, let her answer. | ||
| Every question Adam Schiff asks, Pambani gets two words in, and then he interrupts because he just wants her to say the thing he wants her to say. | ||
| He's not actually interested in asking questions again. | ||
| It's an embarrassment that this is the governance of our country, but things are turning around. | ||
| Let's go to clip number six now. | ||
| This wasn't even about Pambani. | ||
| They're preloading their smears against Kash Patel, Shows again, I think there's something happening in the Democrats where they're losing really badly. | ||
| They're really on the cusp of total destruction. | ||
| When people like Pam Bondi and Cash Patel get into office, depending on how well the Trump-proofing has gone, things are going to get very messy for the Democrats. | ||
| So they're very panicked. | ||
| And when you panic, you make bad choices. | ||
| So they're attempting to... | ||
| I don't know, smear Pam Bondi through Kash Patel, but Kash Patel's confirmation hearing is coming up, and what they're really doing is just showing their cards to Kash Patel. | ||
| So if they were actually strategic in this, they wouldn't say anything about Kash Patel, and they'd surprise him with these questions during his confirmation hearing. | ||
| They're so panicked, and they're so desperate to get something on Pam Bondi, get something to interfere with this process that they can hang their hat on. | ||
| That they're asking about Kash Patel and basically just giving him a roadmap to what they're going to question him on, meaning that he'll be very prepared for these questions when he arrives for his confirmation hearing. | ||
| And I look forward to that because the Democrats are not great under pressure, let's just say. | ||
| Let's go to clip number five here. | ||
| Pam Bondi, or I'm sorry, clip number six. | ||
| QAnon gets brought up during Pam Bondi's confirmation hearing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I guess as I reflect on what you've said today, a couple things. | |
| Surprise me. | ||
| I did not expect you to be as outspoken as you are about Kash Patel. | ||
| He's been characterized as a professional career defense attorney and a career prosecutor. | ||
| That's a pretty amazing achievement in his life. | ||
| But he also has said and done some things which are impossible to understand and justify. | ||
| For example, are you familiar with something called the QAnon conspiracy? | ||
| I've heard of it, but I do not know what it is, but I've heard of it many times, Senator. | ||
| So let me tell you what I've learned about it. | ||
| Its core belief is that a cabal of satanic, cannibalistic child molesters are embedded within our government and are conspiring against President-elect Trump. | ||
| They asked Mr. Patel about it, and he said, quote, I agree with a lot. | ||
| That the movement says. | ||
| End of quote. | ||
| Does that sound like a good preparation to run the FBI? Senator, I don't know anything about... | ||
| I actually... | ||
| I had heard of QAnon, but I've never heard that definition attached to it at all. | ||
| You're going to have to ask Mr. Patel about those statements. | ||
| We will. | ||
| And I'll tell you, until we get answers to those questions, I... Don't know many people on this side of the table will give him an unequivocal endorsement. | ||
| This and his enemies list, what he calls his government gangsters. | ||
| This is what you expect of Stassi. | ||
| This is what you expect of secret police. | ||
| It is not what you expect of justice in America, as you've even described it at the table today. | ||
| So I would say this unequivocal support of Mr. Patel should at least have some reservation until he explains some of these outrageous positions he has taken. | ||
| I look forward to hearing his testimony about QAnon in front of this committee. | ||
| You will. | ||
| Let me say another word about... | ||
| Sounds a little nervous, doesn't he? | ||
| Doesn't he sound a little bit nervous? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Who, Dickless Durbin? | |
| Yeah, a little Durbin out there. | ||
| He's like, do you believe? | ||
| He's like... | ||
| Kash Patel endorses this idea that there's a bunch of pedophiles in the U.S. Congress, and we are frankly outraged and terrified at this. | ||
| We're not going to let him come in and just start looking for pedophiles in Congress. | ||
| We're not going to do that. | ||
| That's outrageous. | ||
| What an outrageous claim. | ||
| He's not allowed to do that. | ||
| Can he do that? | ||
| Don't let him do that. | ||
| Don't let him look into the... | ||
| There's several people on this side who will stand up against that. | ||
| There are several satanic pedophiles on this side that will not allow that to happen, okay? | ||
| You're not supposed to be questioning this. | ||
| It's like, he's literally so worried about this, he's bringing it up in the confirmation hearing of Pan Bondi. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| This is the behavior of a satanic pedophile. | ||
| Oh, I'm just gonna let you know right now. | ||
| I'm gonna let you know right now. | ||
| Someone calls me a murderer, I'm not going to be very worried about it because I haven't murdered anybody. | ||
| Someone calls me a pedophile, I'm not going to freak out. | ||
| I'm not a pedophile. | ||
| You can investigate me for that. | ||
| I'm not particularly nervous about that type of thing. | ||
| These people are so nervous about it, they're asking about it to a person that's not even Kash Patel a week before Kash Patel is even sitting down. | ||
| This is how they're really trying to get out ahead of the whole satanic pedophile cabal thing. | ||
| Wonder why that could be. | ||
| Wonder why that is. | ||
| And it's funny that he even gave that definition because it's like, even if you've never heard of QAnon, it's like, you know, what better endorsement for QAnon? | ||
| QAnon, I've never heard of it. | ||
| Oh, it's this idea that the satanic pedophile cabal runs the U.S. government. | ||
| You're like, oh, then I agree. | ||
| I don't know what QAnon is, but based on what you've told me, they know what they're talking about. | ||
| They're correct. | ||
| In that particular point anyway. | ||
| And it's funny. | ||
| I mean, there's just so many things to say about all of this. | ||
| It's funny because it kind of relates to the previous question from Adam Schiff talking about the electioneering. | ||
| I asked about widespread nationwide fraud. | ||
| She's like, I want to talk about what I saw in Pennsylvania. | ||
| I'm talking about what I witnessed, saw, and definitely happened in Pennsylvania, the rigging of the election there. | ||
| That could have also happened in Arizona and Georgia and the other swing states that just happened to get entire tranches of votes exclusively for Joe Biden at 3 o'clock in the morning without a single vote for Trump. | ||
| I want to talk about what I've seen. | ||
| And they're like, no, no, no. | ||
| We're only talking about the straw man that we're setting up. | ||
| The argument... | ||
| The argument that Pam Bondi and our side is making is there are instances of cheating in the 2020 election, verifiable, provable, that would have, without any other state participating, would have alone swayed the results of the election. | ||
| And even if it didn't sway the results of the election, it's still illegal and it's still a crime and it's still a violation of our electoral system. | ||
| You don't need the widespread thing. | ||
| They set up this straw man about you believe that there was widespread voter fraud in every precinct and nothing. | ||
| None of the results were accurate. | ||
| They set up that straw man and say, agree with that. | ||
| Agree with that or else you are crazy. | ||
| And sort of the same thing with Dick Durbin and the satanic pedophiles. | ||
| The question is, are there pedophiles in Congress? | ||
| Are there pedophiles in positions of power in the U.S. government? | ||
| Is there pedophilia used as blackmail in order to control them? | ||
| And the answer is unequivocally yes, obviously. | ||
| Obviously, how much impact that has, how much sway that actually has, what decisions that impacts sort of determines on the individual or what you're willing to believe. | ||
| But it certainly happens. | ||
| Now, they extrapolate that and say, so you think the entire government is controlled 100% by a satanic pedophile cabal? | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| Disavow that immediately. | ||
| And most people will disavow it because it does sound crazy. | ||
| But Haskell, right? | ||
| Dennis Haskell. | ||
| Amongst many others, Jeffrey Epstein, best friends with Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky was an example of this. | ||
| Blackmail actually being utilized because Bill Clinton refused to go along with the Mossad operation that Monica Lewinsky was a part of. | ||
| So this is absolutely true to some degree. | ||
| What degree that is is in the eye of the beholder. | ||
| I tend to believe that, yeah, the majority of people in positions of power have some form of blackmail against them. | ||
| And pedophilia would be the most... | ||
| Obvious one. | ||
| And again, this is like a theme. | ||
| Like I said, a theme throughout today's show. | ||
| You've got a Washington Post cartoonist and a propagandist who writes books like The Talk. | ||
| How black kids have to have to get the talk about behaving themselves in front of police and what a horrible act of oppression that is to tell black people to behave. | ||
| It's horrible, isn't it? | ||
| Isn't it terrible? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well... | |
| Turns out that guy was a pedophile distributor of child sex material. | ||
| I wonder if he created it himself. | ||
| And you've got this guy working with generals to overthrow President Trump, the high-up operator at the Hillary Clinton campaign who followed her to the State Department and then worked in the Pentagon and then worked at Booz Allen Hamilton. | ||
| And yeah, it turns out that while he was at Booz Allen Hamilton, he was caught in a sting trying to meet an underage girl. | ||
| There's that. | ||
| So is pedophilia an issue in liberal politics? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, if you're not into that sort of thing, yeah, it's a pretty big problem. | ||
| Bombshell flashback from InfoWars.com. | ||
| Anti-Trump deep state coup plotter Jamie Menina was caught in a pedophile sexting in 2021 while he was at DOD. The current bombshell video of James O'Keefe exposing Jamie Menina's attempted coup against President | ||
| Trump got people to, you know, reminded people that actually this same guy was caught in this Pedophile sexting in 2021. Why that never resulted in charges of some sort, I don't really know. | ||
| But then again, he's friends with Hillary Clinton. | ||
| And with Hillary Clinton, you either get away with it totally or hang yourself in an impossible fashion. | ||
| So there you go. | ||
| So there you go. | ||
| Why did he get away with it? | ||
| Well, look at his resume. | ||
| All right, we got a lot of other videos to get to. | ||
| I don't know if I'm going to have time to get to all of these here. | ||
| Let's go to the new one I put in. | ||
| Actually, I don't know if you guys have time to drag it in. | ||
| This is some seriously sinister stuff to stay out loud. | ||
| This is the Pentagon spokesman saying something that strikes me as a little bit freaky, a little bit of a weird thing to say. | ||
| He's saying goodbye for... | ||
| Hopefully the last time, unless some unexpected major event happens in the next few days, and wouldn't that be unexpected? | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I just will say one last word, which is, I hope this is my last time at this podium, at least for a little while. | |
| I don't mean that in a negative sense. | ||
| I mean, the only thing that would bring me back is an unexpected event in the next few days, which, as you all know, is totally possible, given everything you've seen over the course of the past years. | ||
| But if it is, in fact, my last time before you, I just want to say thank you for what you guys do every day. | ||
| Thank you for putting up with me. | ||
| We don't. | ||
| No, we don't want to put, we don't like putting up with you. | ||
| No, we are also very happy to see you leave and hope to never see you at that podium again. | ||
| We agree on that, Sullivan. | ||
| Reminds me a little bit of some statements made, you know, just before things like September 11th. | ||
| You know, I'll be, I'm... | ||
| Gone. | ||
| I'll never be back at this podium again. | ||
| You know, unless there's some, you know, unexpected major catastrophe in the next few days, which is totally possible and might very well happen. | ||
| Not that I know anything about that or those plans. | ||
| How am I supposed—I mean, there's no way I'm going to predict some drone attack at the inauguration. | ||
| How would I have information about that? | ||
| It hasn't even happened yet. | ||
| Anyway, see you back on Tuesday. | ||
| I'm sure we'll miss you, Sullivan. | ||
| Back to hell you go. | ||
| Be gone. | ||

Welcome back, folks. | |
| This is the American Journal. | ||
| Again, I want to bring up this screen. | ||
| I want to show you one of these cartoons. | ||
| One of these cartoons. | ||
| So for our radio listeners, you gotta... | ||
| A guy screaming, white guy screaming, split down the middle. | ||
| On the left, he's wearing a Make America Great Again hat. | ||
| He's yelling, groomer. | ||
| On the right side, it's a Nazi. | ||
| And he's yelling, Juden Verderber. | ||
| Says modern American versus the original German. | ||
| Because see, MAGA people are just Nazis. | ||
| And wanting to kill all the Jews is basically the same as being against grooming of children. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, I'm not like a deep, like... | |
| Conspiracy guy, but like, when you do go back and look at the reasons why the Germans were agitated, there was some pretty weird sexual stuff back in the day. | ||
| There was a couple of, what's this guy's name? | ||
| What's this guy's name again? | ||
| Darren something. | ||
| Darren Bell. | ||
| A lot of Darren Bell type characters in Weimar Germany. | ||
| I think is what you're getting. | ||
| I mean, there's something to this, you know. | ||
| There's something to this. | ||
| I've mentioned it before, but in Germany, after the Nazis, they had that experiment, that little test they ran, where they took children from their parents and gave them to homosexual pedophiles to brainwash and molest for a long time. | ||
| And you read that and you just think, this is insane. | ||
| How could they have ever justified this? | ||
| And it turns out they justified it by... | ||
| Noticing, I guess, that fascism, part of, like, an aspect of fascism was sexual morality. | ||
| And so, literally, the guy who did this, Kessler, I guess his dad was a Nazi, and growing up, his dad was, like, mean to him, and I think Kessler was gay, so, like, he, you know, the dad didn't like that the kid was gay, and tried to suppress his, oh, Kessler, suppress his, You know, deviant sexuality. | ||
| And so this guy basically is, you know, to get back at his dad for not letting him be gay, took children from their parents and gave them to gay pedophiles and thought if we can just shatter the concept of sexual morality, then everything else will fall like dominoes. | ||
| If we can just undermine that foundational understanding of basic human sexual morality, then everything else will come easy. | ||
| It's like there's something about... | ||
| You know, sexual, sexual morality, I'm sorry, I don't have another word for it, that sort of undergirds and supports the rest of his general morality. | ||
| And if you can tear that down, then you can tear it all down. | ||
| So there's something to this. | ||
| There's also just something to the idea that you've got a Washington Post cartoonist writing letters calling people who talk about groomers Nazis when he's a literal groomer who's now been arrested for over a hundred. | ||
| For being in possession of over 100 examples of child sexual material in his possession, trying to distribute it to other people. | ||
| So a literal pedophile groomer writing cartoons saying that if you are suspicious of or care about or are against the grooming of children, you're a Nazi. | ||
| You're a MAGA supporter, which is actually just a Nazi. | ||
| So fight fascism. | ||
| Give us your children. | ||
| Give us your children to be our sexual playthings and then it'll really prove that you're not a Nazi. | ||
| Maybe they can use that rhetorical psychological trick I was talking about earlier. | ||
| Listen, any non-Nazi would give us your child to give as an adopted son to a single homosexual pedophile who will brainwash him against fascism. | ||
| You're not a Nazi, are you? | ||
| Give us your children. | ||
| So there really is something to that. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| There's something there. | ||
| Famed cartoonist arrested for possession of child sex. | ||
| Abuse material. | ||
| Sacramento Valley Internet. | ||
| Crimes against children detectives. | ||
| Oh, those anti-groomer Nazis I keep hearing about. | ||
| Crimes against children detectives. | ||
| You might as well call them the Stasi. | ||
| You might as well call them the jackbooted Nazi thugs. | ||
| Oh, the SS is here. | ||
| And they're mad we have child sex abuse material on our computers. | ||
| Jeez, when will we get out of this oppressive white supremacist ideology? | ||
| We have to defeat the Nazis. | ||
| Make your children gay. | ||
| Welcome back. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, second hour of American Journal is on. | ||
| I'm going to open up the phone lines here shortly. | ||
| But I have a feeling I'm going to be spending a bit of time on our next topic. | ||
| I don't want to make you hold, so... | ||
| Stand by. | ||
| Stand down. | ||
| Stand by. | ||
| We'll get to you in just a second. | ||
| There's a lot of other stuff to talk about with this ceasefire. | ||
| First and foremost is the conversation about attribution. | ||
| Who is responsible for this breakthrough, this diplomatic triumph? | ||
| Of course, the answer is Donald Trump, but we'll lay out the arguments here. | ||
| Of course, Atlantic has the headline. | ||
| Atlantic has the headline, Trump made the Gaza ceasefire happen. | ||
| That's the Atlantic, by the way. | ||
| That's the anti-Trump Amazon outpost. | ||
| It's not Amazon, it's Steve Jobs' wife. | ||
| That's what it is. | ||
| Sorry, I get confused because there are these tech giants like Bezos and Steve Jobs, both of whom's wives have dedicated their entire, or in the case of Bezos, half his fortune to Subverting the United States at every pass. | ||
| So, I forget who owns what in particular, but they're both just terrible. | ||
| The Atlantic. | ||
| Trump made the Gaza deal ceasefire happen. | ||
| Today, after 15 months of brutal war, if you could call it that. | ||
| I wouldn't call it war, but then again, you know, war requires two sides. | ||
| Israel and Hamas agreed to a deal to secure the release of Israeli hostages and the cessation of hostilities in Gaza. | ||
| The agreement's first six weeks will see Israel withdraw from much of the enclave and release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, including convicted mass murderers, in exchange for Hamas releasing 33 captive Israelis, some living, some dead. | ||
| Should everything proceed according to plan, subsequent negotiations would assure the release of the remaining Israeli hostages and the reconstruction of Gaza in the deal's second and third phases. | ||
| Given the precarious nature of the deal's phased structure, the matter is far from settled. | ||
| Despite the headlines and handshakes, the accord must still be ratified by the Israeli cabinet. | ||
| If that happens, the ensuing weeks will be traumatic as returning Gaza refugees discover whether their homes are still standing and the families of Israel hostages discover whether their loved ones are still alive. | ||
| The tentative agreement is nonetheless a victory of the foreign policy team of Presidents Joe Biden and Donald Trump, who worked in tandem with regional partners Qatar and Egypt to bring it about. | ||
| The terms largely echo a proposal laid out by Biden himself in May 2024, but the incoming president dragged the parties over the finish line. | ||
| What changed was not Washington's general orientation towards the conflict. | ||
| Far from turning up the heat on Israel, Trump telegraphed a further embrace of its positions during his 2024 campaign, repeatedly attacking Biden for restricting arms sales to Israel. | ||
| But this posture may have helped deliver both sides. | ||
| Hamas could reasonably surmise that it would not get a better deal during Trump's presidency, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's hard-right government likely exceeded to the arrangement in order to stay in the new leader's good graces, as he assumed office. | ||
| So that's the interpretation from the Atlantic. | ||
| From the Gateway Pundit, you have a very similar story. | ||
| This coming from the... | ||
| Arab side of the conversation. | ||
| Arab officials say Trump's team did more for hostage deal in a single meeting than Biden admin did in an entire year. | ||
| Steve Witkoff, who Trump appointed as his Mideast envoy for a second administration, emerged successful from a critical meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday, according to the Times of Israel. | ||
| Witkoff apparently did more to move Netanyahu towards a ceasefire in a single meeting than Biden did in the past year, according to two Arab officials who spoke with the outlet, which is based in Jerusalem. | ||
| Witkoff, a real estate attorney and investor, was in Doha, Qatar last week to take part in the talks, capping the trip with a stop in Jerusalem to meet with Netanyahu. | ||
| Two days later, negotiators from Israel and Hamas confirmed that they accepted the ceasefire agreement in principle. | ||
| A deal could have been reached much earlier, but both sides led to talks falling apart at various times, one official told the Times. | ||
| But the Biden administration was swift to take credit for the ceasefire, overlooking the fact that the approaching Trump administration seems to have been the catalyst for the new deal. | ||
| Harris also appeared to pat herself on the back for the deal. | ||
| Funny they couldn't make it work in the 15 months it was happening under their administration, at which point at any time they could have limited weapons distribution and leaned on Israel, pressured them to come to the table. | ||
| Never, never felt like doing that. | ||
| The play here from Biden and Harris is rather obvious. | ||
| Biden is concluding a dismal four years in the Oval Office. | ||
| Harris, who lost decisively to Trump a few months ago, may never have the chance to take the mantle. | ||
| As commander in chief, taking credit for the ceasefire is merely a desperate attempt to pad both of their resumes before their chief political rival. | ||
| It takes power in a few short days, but the American people know exactly who is responsible for this breakthrough, and that, of course, again confirmed by Arabs involved in the discussions. | ||
| Now, reading the response to this from diehard Israel supremacists is reassuring, because they're not... | ||
| Not super happy about this. | ||
| Eli David has been one of the worst people on X ever since the conflict between Gaza and Israel broke out in October of last year. | ||
| He says under heavy U.S. pressure, Israel agreed to return 1,300 terrorists, cease fighting Hamas, and leave most of Gaza in return for the release of only 33 hostages out of 98, of which only 23 are alive and 10 of them are dead. | ||
| Cannot imagine a worse deal. | ||
| Well, why'd they take it? | ||
| Why'd they take this terrible deal? | ||
| The answer to that is, of course, in Donald Trump's best-selling 1988 book, The Art of the Deal. | ||
| I don't know when it was from. | ||
| It was from the 1980s, though, for sure. | ||
| So, this does seem to be an end to this particular outbreak of violence as part of the Middle East conflict. | ||
| It could still be disrupted. | ||
| The vote for Israeli confirmation has been delayed slightly. | ||
| A couple different reasons being given as to why that in particular is happening. | ||
| But this follows on Trump signaling that he's not actually the best of friends with old Bibi, his good friend Bibi. | ||
| I think things, you know, tangibly changed after Donald Trump posted the video with Jeffrey Sachs explaining how Israel had manipulated the U.S. and got us into all of these wars. | ||
| Even, you know, calling Bibi Netanyahu something terrible. | ||
| I can't remember exactly what it was, but I think a dark son of a gun. | ||
| Something along those lines. | ||
| A curse word in the mix as well. | ||
| And tweeting this out was not... | ||
| You know, not a small thing. | ||
| They're truthing it out, or whatever you say. | ||
| That's like a major, major signal to the Israelis. | ||
| Like, I'm going to play ball with you. | ||
| We'll glad hand, we'll shake hands, you know, in front of the cameras, but I'm going to send you a little signal about what I really think. | ||
| So let's make the deal. | ||
| So let's get the deal done before I come in and have to humiliate Benjamin Netanyahu. | ||
| In front of the world. | ||
| They're desperate to avoid that. | ||
| Again, this has to be disturbing for Israelis and for Benjamin Netanyahu in particular. | ||
| But I want to be perfectly clear here. | ||
| I did tell you so. | ||
| I did tell you so. | ||
| I got a lot of crap. | ||
| A lot of people calling me a lot of names for pointing out that Donald Trump is the better choice for Israel. | ||
| I'll tell you one thing. | ||
| If Kamala Harris had won the election, this deal wouldn't have ever happened. | ||
| I think we can all pretty much agree that at any point during the last 15 months, they could have had a deal if they wanted it. | ||
| They didn't want one, not until Trump was coming into office and they realized they better get a deal so they can take credit for it in the last, literally the last four days of the Biden administration. | ||
| If that wasn't the case, there'd be no deal. | ||
| There'd be no deal whatsoever. | ||
| And the genocide would continue. | ||
| So just understand, this is total victory. | ||
| Not total victory. | ||
| Let me be clear. | ||
| This isn't total victory. | ||
| But this is massive victory. | ||
| And it is a total defeat of the established war aims of Israel. | ||
| No canal. | ||
| No competitor to the Suez Canal going through Gaza. | ||
| No seizing of their oil fields. | ||
| No displacing the entire Gazan population to Western Europe or America or Canada. | ||
| No gay beach resorts. | ||
| They didn't get rid of Hamas. | ||
| They didn't annex the territory. | ||
| They don't even have extra settlement rights in West Bank. | ||
| They really didn't get much here. | ||
| At all. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| So, to all the black pillars, to all the skeptics of Trump, eat crow, my friends. | ||
| Eat crow. | ||
| Never surrender. | ||
| No black pilling. | ||
| And Donald Trump is the man of the hour with the talent, drive, and influence to make peace happen. | ||
| And it really is a beautiful thing to see. | ||
| So, Eli David, not happy about this. | ||
| Meanwhile, David Smith, I thought, had a good take on this. | ||
| He said, I know this is a huge if at this point, but if team's envoy was successfully able to pressure Netanyahu to accept a ceasefire slash hostage release deal, and if that isn't ultimately offset by a major insane concession to the Israelis, such as allowing them to annex the West Bank and ultimately leads to an end to this tragic war, then Donald Trump will start his second term as a legitimately heroic president. | ||
| It will be the best thing he's ever done in his life. | ||
| If he can negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine as well, put the man on Mount Rushmore. | ||
| Let him take Lincoln's spot. | ||
| And I agree. | ||
| And again, the only people saying that this wasn't Trump is Biden. | ||
| Biden's team is trying to take credit. | ||
| Everybody else is crediting Donald Trump. | ||
| Everybody involved on either side, really. | ||
| And again, I think this has to do with not just Donald Trump's foreign policy and where his priorities are and the fact that he is not about to Send Americans to die on behalf of Israel in some wider war with a state like Iran. | ||
| It also has to do with his personal relationship with Benjamin Netanyahu. | ||
| Again, The Atlantic has a story. | ||
| How Netanyahu misread his relationship with Trump. | ||
| The ceasefire in Gaza reflects another triumph for Donald Trump and shows Benjamin Netanyahu, who's boss. | ||
| Again, this is The Atlantic. | ||
| Okay, just so you can be as shocked as I am of what I'm about to say. | ||
| Quote, let us now praise Donald Trump. | ||
| It's hard for me not to choke on that phrase. | ||
| Well, choke on it, Franklin. | ||
| Franklin Foer, author of this article, choke on it forever. | ||
| It's hard for me not to choke on that phrase, but it was his bluster, his demand that Hamas release its remaining hostage before his inauguration, or else, quote, all hell will break loose, that effectively ushered in a ceasefire at the beginning of the end of the Gaza War. | ||
| Although honesty requires crediting Trump, his success was not the product of magical powers or an indictment of the Biden administration diplomacy. | ||
| Trump's splenetic threats, splenetic? | ||
| So we're making up words now? | ||
| Trump's splenetic threats. | ||
| I'm looking it up. | ||
| I'm looking it up. | ||
| What does splenetic mean? | ||
| I have to start using this word if it's a good one. | ||
| Splenetic. | ||
| Bad-tempered and spiteful. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| Okay. | ||
| I was going to say I'm feeling splenetic today, but I feel like saying that would put me in a good mood, so it's sort of self-defeating. | ||
| Trump's... | ||
| Bad-tempered and spiteful threats injected urgency into the floundering talks, and by allowing his envoy Stephen Witkoff to coordinate with the Biden administration, the incoming president left Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with an acute sense of isolation. | ||
| Over the course of Netanyahu's long reign, he has transformed the nation's foreign policy. | ||
| Over much of his history, the Jewish state cultivated bipartisan support in the United States. | ||
| Netanyahu trashed that tradition for his own domestic purposes. | ||
| He has provoked spats with Democratic presidents, bolstering his reputation among his right-wing base. | ||
| At the same time, he tethered himself to the Republican Party. | ||
| But again, I think the overall sentiment of this article is exactly right. | ||
| Benjamin Netanyahu overestimated his influence with Donald Trump and his ability to control things with Donald Trump at the helm. | ||
| Again, I think this undercuts a lot of what people said bad about Trump. | ||
| I think it proves correct. | ||
| People like myself who went out on a limb saying that Trump's Pro-Israel stance is a lot of bluster, and at the end of the day, he's not going to do the things Israel requires of him in order to fulfill their ultimate goal in the region, which would require American boots on the ground militarily. | ||
| I'm going to go ahead and drop another video in here. | ||
| Since we're talking about it, after all, this article mentions Netanyahu's long reign that for much of its history... | ||
| The Jewish state has cultivated bipartisan support in the United States with Netanyahu trashing that tradition. | ||
| I think, again, he sort of overestimated the control that Israel had over American foreign policy. | ||
| Here's a video from the 1980s of Benjamin Netanyahu bragging about how much control Israel enjoys in America. | ||
| So this was 40-plus years ago, or about 40 years ago. | ||
| That this statement was made. | ||
| 40 years this has been the case, not just Israel influencing to a huge degree American geopolitics, but being open about that fact. | ||
| Let's go now to the clip. | ||
| The reporter says we don't have America with us. | ||
| It's the 1980s. | ||
| Menyahu responds, USA is not a unified bloc. | ||
| We have the Senate, the Congress, and a record-strong Jewish lobby on our side. | ||
| We have a strong influence over the general support of America in America. | ||
| We have a strong influence. | ||
| America won't force us into anything. | ||
| We have a very strong influence in America. | ||
| They're not going to force us to do anything. | ||
| The tiny country 2,000 miles away who relies on America 100% for their existence. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Are they biting the hand that feeds them? | ||
| Or is there absolute insane overreach over the course of the last 15 months at least sort of driving a wedge between Jewish groups in America as to whether they support Genocide in Israel or our genuine liberals. | ||
| But again, to get Netanyahu to even agree to this, pretty huge deal. | ||
| After all, he might be on the hook. | ||
| He might go to prison now. | ||
| If he doesn't have the war powers to keep himself in office and he's ousted, then he is susceptible to all these corruption charges. | ||
| Pretty crazy. | ||
| Pretty crazy stuff. | ||
| Again, from Washington Post. | ||
| Pedophile cartoonist newspaper. | ||
| Biden and Trump jockey for credit in Israel-Hamas hostage deal. | ||
| Their deal-making cooperation represents an unusual moment in the polarized world of U.S. politics, but it did not stop both Trump and Biden from touting their respective roles. | ||
| President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump jockeyed Wednesday for credit. | ||
| For a ceasefire and hostage release deal between Hamas and Israel that Biden had long pursued and came together days before Trump is set to retake the White House, the Biden and Trump teams worked closely in the days leading up to the deal, talking daily and holding meetings in Qatar and Israel, in Egypt, I believe. | ||
| Biden officials said in a meeting Saturday that between Trump's incoming Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was crucial to closing the deal, and Witkoff has called the Biden administration the tip of the spear in talks. | ||
| The cooperation represents a highly unusual moment in the polarizing world of U.S. politics, especially given the contentious history between the president and president-elect. | ||
| But it did not stop both Trump and Biden from touting their respective roles. | ||
| Trump declaring on social media that this epic ceasefire could have only happened as a result of our historic victory in November. | ||
| Biden, speaking later from the White House, repeatedly noted that the agreement was very similar to one he proposed in May. | ||
| Saying, quote, we got the world to endorse it, Biden said. | ||
| Secondly, it's America's support for Israel that helped them badly weaken Hamas and its backers and create the conditions for this deal. | ||
| He said he told his team to make sure that he and Trump were speaking with the same voice because that's what American presidents do. | ||
| He asked, is that a joke? | ||
| A reporter asked, who deserves credit for this deal, you or Trump? | ||
| And Biden asks, is that a joke? | ||
| And then walks away. | ||
| He's such a dick. | ||
| He's just such a jackass. | ||
| It's so funny. | ||
| Honestly, like, Biden since getting kicked out of the presidential race, since they pulled that coup against him, he's been so funny. | ||
| I really wish he had just been like this the whole time. | ||
| He's putting on MAGA hats. | ||
| You know, when he's just being rude to reporters, it's like that's hilarious. | ||
| When he's out there giving speeches, calling me a domestic terrorist, I don't like him so much. | ||
| But I don't know, something happened. | ||
| He really, like, stopped caring when they kicked him out of office, and he just, uh... | ||
| He's just such a jackass. | ||
| Is that a joke? | ||
| And he just leaves. | ||
| It's like, no, it's not a joke. | ||
| It's a very legitimate question. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's probably just entering terminal stages. | |
| He probably just doesn't actually know if it's a joke or not. | ||
| Is that supposed to be funny? | ||
| Should I be laughing? | ||
| Somebody told me if I should be laughing. | ||
| Yeah, it was Trump. | ||
| It was Trump. | ||
| If this was so similar to a proposal you published in May, then why did it take until halfway through January to get it done? | ||
| Is it because Steve Wyckoff was actually the tip of the spear? | ||
| Is it because you never actually wanted to have a ceasefire at all, regardless? | ||
| It's kind of hilarious that Biden is even taking credit for this. | ||
| It makes sense. | ||
| He is still the president. | ||
| It had to happen with his say-so, but it's just purely political grandstanding. | ||
| It would never have happened if Harris had been voted into office. | ||
| Now, we actually have the text of the hostage ceasefire agreement. | ||
| Long story short, they are releasing 33 hostages, 10 of which are dead from Gaza, 1,300 hostages being released from Israel, including women and children, as well as some convicted of mass murder terrorist attacks in Israel. as well as some convicted of mass murder terrorist attacks Again, representing how disadvantageous this deal was for Israel itself. | ||
| I don't know if there's too much more to say about this. | ||
| The ratification of this ceasefire agreement. | ||
| It has been delayed for some reason. | ||
| The Israeli parliament has to approve it, and they are delaying that in order to deal with some Hamas situations, which, yeah, Hamas created a last-minute crisis. | ||
| So I guess Israel is bombing refugee tents. | ||
| There's still a couple refugee tents they need to destroy before they're willing to close out this chapter. | ||
| Legitimately, death toll in Israeli strikes on Gaza rise to 77 since ceasefire deal. | ||
| It's just the way, I mean, the Middle East is just such a crazy place. | ||
| 77 people. | ||
| I mean, you can take the worst terrorist attack, you know, aside from September 11th. | ||
| I think it would have been the truck attack in Nice, France, killed at 87. Something like that. | ||
| You know, you get these like once in a decade. | ||
| Horrifying large-scale attacks. | ||
| You realize this is happening literally every day in Gaza. | ||
| It's pretty wild. | ||
| Israeli airstrikes killed at least 77 people in Gaza overnight on Thursday. | ||
| Residents and authorities in the enclave said hours after a ceasefire and hostage release deal was announced to bring an end to the 15 months of war between Israel and Hamas. | ||
| The complex ceasefire record emerged on Wednesday after mediation by Qatar, Egypt and the U.S. to stop a war that has devastated the coastal territory and inflamed the Middle East. | ||
| The deal, scheduled to be implemented from Sunday, outlines a six-week... | ||
| Six-week initial ceasefire with the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip where tens of thousands have been killed. | ||
| Hostages taken by militant group Hamas, which controls the enclave, would be freed in exchange for Palestinian prisoners detained in Israel. | ||
| And yes, no, they literally bombed a refugee camp full of tents. | ||
| I guess that was the crisis that they had to settle before willing to implement this ceasefire. | ||
| Okay, we've got the ceasefire coming up. | ||
| Let's just kill a couple dozen more. | ||
| Let's kill a hundred more people because we can before this gets implemented. | ||
| Absurd, but I think it's going to go through. | ||
| Welcome back, folks. | ||
| Give out the number now. | ||
| Give us a call here on American Journal. | ||
| 1-877-789-2539. | ||
| Before you dial, new callers only. | ||
| New callers only. | ||
| If you have never been on the show, you've never called in, or you've never gotten through. | ||
| Now's your time to call 1-877-789-2539. | ||
| 1-877-789-2539. | ||
| If you're a regular caller, called on before, just hold off for now. | ||
| We'll go to new callers and maybe we'll continue on the other side of our conversation with Devin Tracy. | ||
| We'll be joined by Devin Tracy, a.k.a. | ||
| The Rue, a.k.a. | ||
| Atheism is Unstoppable. | ||
| We'll be talking to him about the California wildfires as well as crime in general. | ||
| He covers a lot of crime material. | ||
| As well as the seeming red-pilling of left-wingers like Cenk Uygur and Anna Kasparian of the Young Turks. | ||
| Is that real? | ||
| Is it fake? | ||
| Is this a sea change or just a grift? | ||
| I want to get his take since he's been actually instrumental in converting people like that before. | ||
| I'll let him tell you about it, but apparently Dave Rubin told him that... | ||
| He would go and watch Devin Tracy dismantle Young Turks' arguments, and that helped to convert Dave Rubin to a conservative. | ||
| He's been a main fixture in the right wing ever since. | ||
| So is something similar happening for Cenk Uygur? | ||
| I doubt it, but we'll ask Devin about that, and then we'll take your calls again on the other side. | ||
| We have a lot of other news still to get to. | ||
| I'll save some of these stories about... | ||
| It's a crime for him. | ||
| Donald Trump has just tweeted out another very funny text on Truth Social. | ||
| Trump very respectfully makes it clear who he isn't allowing to work in his administration. | ||
| He even says, thank you, how gracious. | ||
| He says, as of today, the incoming Trump administration has hired over 1,000 people for the United States government. | ||
| They are outstanding in every way, and you will see the fruits of their labor over the coming years. | ||
| We will make America great again, and it will happen very quickly. | ||
| In order to save time, money, and effort, it would be helpful if you would not send us or recommend to us people who worked with or are endorsed by Americans for No Prosperity, headed by Charles Koch, Dumb as a Rock John Bolton, Birdbrain Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, disloyal warmongers Dick Cheney, and his psycho daughter Liz. | ||
| Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, General? | ||
| Mark Milley, James Mattis, Mark Jesper, or any of the other people suffering from Trump derangement syndrome, more commonly known as TDS. Thank you for your attention in this matter. | ||
| He's back, he's back, we're back. | ||
| We've never been more back. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| It really is beautiful. | ||
| And then also on this, You know, Matt was asking, I think during the break, like, do you think Washington Post is going to report on the fact that their cartoonist was just arrested for having a huge number of child sex abuse material images? | ||
| Do you think they're going to report on that? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| I doubt it. | ||
| I seriously doubt they're going to report on that. | ||
| And it's pretty common. | ||
| Something will be exposed about the mainstream media. | ||
| You don't hear about it on the mainstream media. | ||
| Kind of obvious things, because, and it's only obvious if you understand who the mainstream media is, if you understand how patently dishonest they are, especially about themselves, then it shouldn't be a surprise. | ||
| It should be an obvious thing. | ||
| You know, there's this website called Ground News, and it will give you a story and then provide you with various sources on it, and tries to get all the sources talking about this particular story online, and then it gives you... | ||
| A breakdown as to what percentage of the outlets talking about it are liberal and what percent are right-wing. | ||
| Now, yesterday on the Tucker Carlson show, Billy Bush, former NBC anchor, spilled the details about an alleged coordinated media campaign to undermine Donald Trump during his 2016 presidential run. | ||
| Bush painted a damning picture of the mainstream media's behind-the-scenes activism, accusing networks of abandoning journalism in favor of partisan politics. | ||
| Bush claimed that during Trump's rise to power, major networks assembled a sprawling investigated team with a single purpose, go after Trump. | ||
| Headlines like, former NBC anchor blows the whistle, exposes network's stunning anti-Trump unit. | ||
| Ex-NBC anchor blows the whistle, exposes network's anti-Trump unit. | ||
| NBC has a 75-person investigative unit just to get Trump. | ||
| And I'm sure the other mainstream media outlets have similar contingents of reporters with this singular assignment. | ||
| And I'll see you next time. | ||
| But if you look at the biased distribution of these stories, 100% right wing. | ||
| 100% of the stories about this are coming from the right wing. | ||
| The left wing not touching this at all. | ||
| Despite the fact that it should probably be a pretty big story. | ||
| But obviously they're not going to cover it. | ||
| Obviously they're not going to tell you about it. | ||
| Because it... | ||
| It undermines their legitimacy, so they're going to cover that up with everything they've got. | ||
| Even though they could come out and acknowledge it and try to explain it, they'd rather just not talk about it. | ||
| But that's, it's not exactly surprising, but it is astonishing. | ||
| Like, I'm not, I'm not shocked, right? | ||
| It's like NBC had 75 people dedicated entirely to just coming up with anti-Trump stories. | ||
| And the response is like, really, just 75? | ||
| Really, that's all? | ||
| Seems like more. | ||
| Seems like your entire news organization decided that was the only thing that mattered. | ||
| But if you really think about it, really think about what you could accomplish, like you right now listening to my voice, if I told you I'm going to pay the salary of 75 top-line Ivy League graduated investigative reporters at your disposal, To work eight hours a day, five days a week for eight years. | ||
| What do you think you could accomplish? | ||
| What do you think you could uncover? | ||
| What stories do you think you could break? | ||
| 75 full-time employees at your disposal. | ||
| You think you could take one person down? | ||
| You think you could come up with enough stories to discredit or expose a single person? | ||
| You would think that that would be enough. | ||
| But just imagine... | ||
| You've got these networks who, obviously, from the top down, from an editorial discretionary standpoint, they're all dedicated to going after Trump. | ||
| They have dedicated contingents within these people whose sole employment is predicated on going after Donald Trump. | ||
| There's definitely one of these in NBC, according to Billy Bush. | ||
| I would also be surprised if there wasn't one of these in every major network except for maybe Fox. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| ABC, CNN. I mean, they all have at least 75 people working full-time to bring down Donald Trump. | ||
| That's on top of the massive array of academic organizations and non-governmental organizations and people in government going after him. | ||
| I mean, just imagine if you can. | ||
| What if you could just see the entire spectrum of the anti-Trump agitation movement? | ||
| You know, in a single image, it's millions of people, probably. | ||
| It's at least tens of thousands of people, day in and day out, working to destroy this guy. | ||
| Kind of like how they work to destroy Infowars. | ||
| Kind of like I've showed the video before. | ||
| We did a Moonbase Live broadcast about it, called Disinformation Expert, bringing up a disinformation expert who had reviewed 10,000 different sources about Alex Jones and how there were entire schools within universities dedicated to investigating In order to, you know, counteract the influence of Alex Jones and Infowars. | ||
| And meanwhile, we, you know, let me put it this way. | ||
| We have significantly less than, well, maybe not significantly, about, it's about half of the number of people NBC has dedicated solely to going after Donald Trump. | ||
| That's our entire production team at Infowars. | ||
| There's about 40 of us. | ||
| We're on all the shows and all the writers and everybody here at InfoWars. | ||
| Not really that many of us. | ||
| Especially compared to the dozens upon dozens of people at every outlet across the entire United States. | ||
| All focused solely on going after Donald Trump and his supporters. | ||
| And yet we're winning. | ||
| It shows you the power of truth and the incompetence of the deceptive. | ||
| We'll go out to your phone calls now. | ||
| Let's see if there's any other stories I want to get to quickly while we continue to take the caller's names. | ||
| Let's go to Antone. | ||
| Antone in Miami. | ||
| You have been banned from exile here. | ||
| That's tough. | ||
| No one wants to hear that. | ||
| Antone, thank you for calling in. | ||
| You're on the air. | ||

Hi, it's a pleasure to finally speak to you. | |
| I just want to first say I'm a huge fan. | ||
| I really love the show. | ||
| I respect you a lot. | ||
| And Alex Jones. | ||
| And I just want to bring something to your attention because, like Alex Jones says, we are the Paul Revere's, and it's important to bring information. | ||
| Just like when Alex Jones let Trump know about the Iran and how they were going to try to do some kind of thing and blame Iran so they can go to war, I feel it's important for me. | ||
| I'm a very small account nobody. | ||
| No one really knows who I am. | ||
| I've been banned from all social media since lockdown. | ||
| I was allowed on X, but recently I got banned for life, and I was wondering, why am I banned for life? | ||
| I have a Martin Luther King mentality. | ||
| I believe in peace. | ||
| I never believe in violence. | ||
| Things I preach for are all pretty good. | ||
| I do use naughty words. | ||
| I do kind of push the boundary with the words. | ||
| But my overall message is good, and probably Eli would probably approve of everything I'm saying. | ||
| I was debating pedophiles, and they were saying that they have the right to be attracted to children and everything. | ||
| My comment went along the lines that said, if you touch or hurt a child, then maybe you don't deserve to have your private parts. | ||
| Maybe you should be chemically castrated or get the death sentence. | ||
| Now, that is state law here in Florida, and it's not really a call for vigilante justice or violence or anything. | ||
| It's just a call for law and order. | ||
| And I was banned for life. | ||
| I've been banned for life on X. I can never make another account again. | ||
| I can never speak. | ||
| And this goes against everything Elon Musk has said about X and everything. | ||
| And if you look at my post, it's like I would never call for violence. | ||
| So I'm thinking, like, Elon Musk is an extremely busy guy. | ||
| He's doing rockets. | ||
| He's got doge. | ||
| He's doing things in other countries. | ||
| There's no way that he can know. | ||
| But the thing that I'm worried about and the thing I wish I could put to your attention and Alex Jones' attention is X is compromise. | ||
| There are people at X who are not politically aligned with Elon, who are abusing the system, who are banning people who don't need to be banned. | ||
| At the same time, they're allowing. | ||
| The only thing that I believe personally that should be banned is porn, gore, murder. | ||
| I don't want to go on my feed and see these horrible things, but ideas shouldn't be banned. | ||
| And I feel like I just really want to bring this to your attention. | ||
| And another thing I want to say is I do support the TikTok ban, but not for the reason you think. | ||
| If you look up patent number US6506148B2, when you ask Gronk or you ask AI that, it's a patent to subliminally brainwash and manipulate people with quick imagery. | ||
| And TikTok, I believe, is highly guilty of this. | ||
| This is how they get a lot of people to... | ||
| Be, become transgender and all this stuff, because it doesn't work if you're a moderate intelligence, but I feel like it works on a lot of people, and the algorithms and the suggested content is what really gets the people, and I just wanted to hear your thoughts on that. | ||
| I know it's a lot. | ||
| Yeah, well, let's talk about, well, let's take the TikTok stuff first. | ||
| I'm against the TikTok ban in general, because to me, it's, like, either we live in a country where the government gets to decide what we can and can't see or what we can't. | ||
| I mean, this is a matter of parents not having oversight over what their kids are watching, which can be a problem, or it's just Americans watching bad stuff and don't have, like, the self-control to not watch that thing. | ||
| If you go on TikTok and all you... | ||
| You know, watch our woodworking videos. | ||
| That's all you're going to get, our woodworking videos. | ||
| And if you, you know, just swipe as soon as you see some, you know, tranny trying to indoctrinate you, they're not going to feed you that stuff anymore. | ||
| So, you know, it's really our fault that all this stuff from TikTok is coming in. | ||
| I'm against the ban in general. | ||
| Plus, have you heard of this Red Note, the Red Note app that's basically replacing TikTok? | ||
| That's like kind of even worse, but everybody's moving over there. | ||
| You know, they didn't pass a law to ban anything like TikTok. | ||
| They just focused on TikTok, that company in particular. | ||
| So another company is just going to crop up and could even be worse. | ||
| But I've also heard interesting arguments about like the financial arguments talking about the number of small businesses that operate on TikTok exclusively. | ||
| And it's true. | ||
| There are a lot and sort of transformed the way people shop in a lot of ways. | ||
| TikTok has become sort of a combination of like Instagram and Etsy in a lot of ways and Amazon for that matter. | ||
| So I know a lot of people in America have built businesses or at least side hustles on TikTok and all that's going to go away. | ||
| So I'm against that. | ||
| When it comes to X, it sucks that you were banned. | ||
| I talked yesterday quite a bit about the fact that I believe that X has either been infiltrated by or is fully under the control of Israeli operatives because people can dox you if you're anti-Israel and those posts don't get taken down even if you report them. | ||
| The accounts stay up and the posts stay up. | ||
| Just blatant threats against you and your home address. | ||
| Like, that is allowed to stay up. | ||
| If you, you know, are anti-Israel, then they're allowed to dox you. | ||
| As well as the fact that during the H-1B visa crisis in December, a lot of anti-Israel people got deleted and all the blame went on Elon Musk for H-1B visas when really it was clearly the anti-Israel people that were targeted. | ||
| So, somebody is undercover at X making problems for them and banning people. | ||
| Unfairly. | ||
| I don't know if they had anything to do with your ban, but it is a bummer. | ||
| And that's even something that Mark Zuckerberg said during his latest interview where he's talking about how he's changed and he's pretending to be a free speech guy now. | ||
| He's like, we were banning things that are being talked about on the floor of Congress. | ||
| If it can be talked about on the floor of Congress, it should be able to be talked about. | ||
| On social media. | ||
| So the same rule has got to apply to X. If you can advocate for the lawful punishment as prescribed by the law, how are you going to get banned? | ||
| You're literally just reiterating what is actually law in some places. | ||
| Like, yeah, if you want to say pedophiles should be castrated by the state, I don't see any problem with that. | ||
| And it's certainly not a call to violence, but I'm sure that's how it was portrayed. | ||
| I assume you went through the whole... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I sent over a hundred appeals. | |
| I actually ran my post through Gronk and I asked, should I be banned? | ||
| And Gronk actually told me, no, you haven't broken any laws. | ||
| They banned me for violent speech, which I mean, if you want to look at my things, I'm always saying peaceful protest, never do violence. | ||
| Because I obviously know once you do violence, then that's when they get you and that's when they have an excuse to use lawfare. | ||
| So I always advocate for peace and everything. | ||
| So it's very disappointing. | ||
| And I agree with you a lot. | ||
| I also agree that TikTok shouldn't be banned. | ||
| Like, they shouldn't be allowed to use it. | ||
| I just don't think that the Chinese government or these algorithms in the background that show you this recommended content should be so sinister. | ||
| Because social media is fun. | ||
| I mean, they have nothing against what you see and what's on there. | ||
| But there is a lot more going on with this content that the personalized content it takes for you. | ||
| I don't notice that on X. I don't notice that on Facebook. | ||
| But I do notice that on TikTok. | ||
| I feel like if you look up that patent number that I spoke to you about, you would see what I was speaking on. | ||
| Give us that patent number again. | ||
| It's US6506148B2. Collaborate off-site, | ||
| and then brigade posts and everybody in that group will go and report a post at the same time, and it'll get taken down automatically. | ||
| So you could have been targeted by some sort of pedophilia group on Telegram that said, let's get this guy banned. | ||
| He's arguing against us. | ||
| That's what happened with a lot of anti-Indian people. | ||
| There were Indian groups that were coordinating mass reporting in order to get people like Leonardo Joni taken off of X. Usually that's reversed, though. | ||
| So if that hasn't been reversed, I don't know what to tell you. | ||
| It is a bummer and we have to keep fighting for free speech. | ||
| As it has gotten better, it is clearly still not super great. | ||
| So we've got to keep working on it. | ||
| Thank you so much for the call, Anton. | ||
| That was excellent. | ||
| Let's go to Dean in New York City now. | ||
| Dean, thank you so much for calling from the Big Apple. | ||

Hi. | |
| You can hire India to do whatever you want from your... | ||
| HR to your scheme. | ||
| So it's very cheap and it's a terrible thing, but yay capitalism. | ||
| What can you buy? | ||

You can hire people in India to do all of your HR and basically whatever you want. | |

No, I mean, obviously. | |
| So, to the point of my call, I love Infowars. | ||
| I love Alex Jones. | ||
| I love the team he's put together. | ||
| I've been listening since 2007. Alex Jones has to take a step back from his platform and run for office. | ||
| The universe bends to Alex Jones. | ||
| A phenomenon that I've witnessed since 2010. Alex Jones says, this is what it is. | ||
| This is what's going to happen. | ||
| Where are the indictments? | ||
| Why are there no indictments when everything he calls is true? | ||
| What should he run for? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The one that hangs treasonous people from the neck until dead. | |
| Please, Alex. | ||
| What? | ||
| I got, they told me no cussing. | ||
| This man needs to take the next step. | ||
| And his next step, he's like, I want to go swim in Barton's Creek. | ||
| You're not doing that, Slim! | ||
| You're hanging people! | ||
| You're hanging treason! | ||
| I watch your show every morning. | ||
| I mean, the blonde guy. | ||
| What's his name? | ||
| Owen Schroer. | ||

Owen Schroer. | |
| Owen Schroer is great, but he's like the afternoon show. | ||
| By the afternoon, I'm making dinner. | ||
| I'm doing stuff around my apartment. | ||
| But you and Alex, and then there's a ginger guy. | ||
| What's his name? | ||
| He's like a redhead. | ||
| You're talking about Chase? | ||
| Chase, yeah. | ||
| Chase Kaiser. | ||
| Awesome! | ||
| You guys have InfoWars locked down. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| We'll see what comes next. | ||
| Of course, InfoWars might not even be around. | ||
| We might be forced to do something else. | ||
| Here in a couple weeks. | ||
| We'll keep you up to date on that. | ||
| You can still support us by going to thealexjonesstore.com slash Harrison. | ||

| Do your shopping there to let them know who sent you. | ||
| And I don't know, man. | ||
| It's like, you know, Alex Jones needs to either be Supreme Emperor. | ||
| He needs to be King. | ||
| And his order, his word is law. | ||
| Or he needs to just keep doing what he's doing. | ||
| Because can you imagine Alex Jones having to sit? | ||
| Across the bench from Adam Schiff and politely adhere to the rules of decorum while he's spouting his outrageous lies, it would kill him. | ||
| It would kill me. | ||
| I've been in those rooms. | ||
| It's hard not to say what you believe when you believe it. | ||
| So, I don't know. | ||
| It seems to me like being in a political position would be too constraining for the spirit of Alex Jones, but... | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| We'll see what the future holds. | ||
| Thank you so much for the call, Dean. | ||
| I enjoyed that. | ||
| Let's go to Santo in Ohio. | ||
| Only about two minutes left, but you say you have some comments about Biden's cryptic farewell speech last night. | ||

|
Hey, thank you for taking my call. | |
| Love the show. | ||
| Love InfoWars. | ||
| Love what you guys are doing. | ||
| Yeah, I just, for people that can see it, I think it was obvious. | ||
| He's sitting there trying to give this speech. | ||
| You know, it muddles together, and in it sticks out like a sore thumb is all this stuff about the Statue of Liberty, which, if we look at the octopus of everything, you know, it's up for debate amongst people that are truthers, whatever you want to label us. | ||
| People would actually critically think, put it that way, Freemasonry definitely has its holding there. | ||
| So if you know what to look for, and what really sparked it off, I was talking to a gentleman at the screen of the call. | ||
| Was yesterday the piece specifically about Pike and Matheny. | ||
| And if people, you know, peel the layer back, all the things that we see all throughout our culture, all throughout what's going on, it is laced. | ||
| It is laced with all the pagan idolatries, all the things that Freemasonry... | ||
| Definitely surrounded by, and definitely who I believe a lot of these people are beholden to. | ||
| It's the reason they do things that they do, and people that are just people that watch the propaganda, you know, Cuba, the television, and everything that they're programmed to watch, they can't see it. | ||
| But if you can see it, it's plain as day. | ||
| And like I say, he's pretty much talking about how, you know... | ||
| The Statue of Liberty is going to keep moving forward. | ||
| And I think cryptically it means, like, we're going to keep up with our plan. | ||
| You see that with what Mr. O'Keefe... | ||
| I was able to reveal yesterday. | ||
| Yeah, no, clearly they're not giving up. | ||
| I'm sorry, we do have to go to commercial break. | ||
| If you want to stay on the line, I'll go back to calls after we talk to Devin Tracy. | ||
| We're going to talk to Devin Tracy for the first 30 minutes of the next hour, so stay tuned for that. | ||
| Atheism is Unstoppable up next. | ||
| We're going to talk about the California wildfires and crime and the Young Turks. | ||
| Stay with us. | ||

Unlike Gavin. | |
| I am in the pursuit of truth, so I've taken it upon myself to interview boots on the ground. | ||
| I have interviewed members of the Los Angeles Fire Department, and the truths I have found are harrowing. | ||
| Why is Gavin so adamant about pushing this narrative that they did not run out of water in the Pacific Palisades? | ||
| Well, it's because they did. | ||
| A firefighter told me that he was on a street in the Pacific Palisades, and not only did he run out of water, But they had insufficient hydrants. | ||
| So he explained to me that the standard distance between residential homes is usually less than a thousand feet. | ||
| And in this case, these homes were very large. | ||
| We're talking like 15,000 square foot mansions and hydrants that were over a thousand feet apart. | ||
| In addition to that, running out of water and these hydrants being too far apart, these hydrants only had a two and a half inch wharf hydrant. | ||
| Instead of four inches, which means the diameter of the hose. | ||
| This means that these firefighters did not have sufficient fire flow to extinguish these fires. | ||
| He told me that they were doing the best that they could, and they were making good effort, but they could have saved more homes by putting up a water curtain, which would have allowed them to save the exposure of houses. | ||
| But they couldn't because they ran out of water in the Pacific Palisades. | ||
| He highlighted that he didn't want to diminish the fact that this fire behavior was insane and it was the worst he's ever seen. | ||
| We could have saved way more structures than we did if we had water. | ||
| In addition to that water reservoir being empty in the Pacific Palisades, holding 117 million gallons of water, they tarped it when they never should have for environmental reasons and evaporation. | ||
| But don't you think that evaporation should? | ||
| Not supersede the need for helicopters to access the water and suck out water for fire suppression for aerial help? | ||
| That was out of the question because it was tarped when it was not meant to. | ||
| I was also informed that the city allegedly did not consult with the fire department before they drained this reservoir. | ||
| Let me read what he explained to me. | ||
| He says that we are set up to run something called a master stream operations. | ||
| This is where you're flowing upwards of 800 gallons a minute from a big water cannon on top of the rig. | ||
| And in order to do that effectively, you have to be connected to a hydrant. | ||
| It's highly effective. | ||
| You can put out a ton of fire with it. | ||
| Now, granted, this fire behavior was insane, and we're working to save every home we can. | ||
| But in this instance, we could have saved more homes if we had more water, but no water in the Palisades. | ||
| We had water in Malibu because those reservoirs were filled. | ||
| It's basic stuff. | ||
| We need water to put out fires. | ||
| With water in Malibu, we made a difference and saved homes because we sit on a hydrant and protect the exposure. | ||
| The reason we even lost homes in Malibu along the coast was because they were connected. | ||
| It wasn't multiple structures. | ||
| In theory, it was one big structure. | ||
| But he also told me that what these people are saying, that no water system is able to operate and push out that much water, isn't incorrect. | ||
| But they're conflating, extinguishing the whole fire with that because that's not what they're trying to do. | ||
| They're not trying to extinguish the whole fire. | ||
| They're going to lose homes. | ||
| They know that that's the reality. | ||
| But the reality is also that they could have saved more if they had water in the Pacific Palisades. | ||
| And that is the message that needs to get out. | ||
| I mean, Malibu was also really bad, but at least they saved homes there. | ||
| But then you go look at the streets of Palisades and you tell me there's nothing, nothing left. | ||
| I also asked about climate change. | ||
| And I was told that they're calling bullshit on climate change because The Native Americans called the Santa Ana winds the devil winds. | ||
| These winds have been around for hundreds of years. | ||
| And it's the main reason that these fires got so bad. | ||
| So I don't know how you conflate the two. | ||
| Also, these winds were predictable. | ||
| We knew that they were coming. | ||
| So why were we not better prepared in the days prior? | ||
| I asked about rumored arson. | ||
| And he said, I'll be honest. | ||
| And I'll say what no one is willing to say. | ||
| It's the freaking homeless. | ||
| They had a Palisades fire in the exact same area three years ago caused by homeless, but no one wants to say it and everyone's afraid. | ||
| More than half of the calls they respond to are fires caused by the ever-growing homeless population in L.A. All right, folks, this is a TikToker who is talking to whistleblowers in the L.A. Fire Department, exposing some of the on-the-ground failures that led to the absolute disaster that is still unfolding. | ||
| Welcome back. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, third hour of the American Journal is on. | ||
| I'm your host, Harrison Smith, Infowars.com, band.video. | ||

| And welcome once again, sir, to the program. | ||
| I'm happy to be here. | ||
| It is a dark time, but yeah. | ||
| Let's get into it. | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| Yeah, well, I wanted to have you on for a couple reasons, but I was watching one of your videos and I realized that your family home, I guess your childhood home, burned down in the fire. | ||
| So I definitely wanted to get you on to talk about that. | ||
| And I know you have a fundraiser for your family. | ||
| In fact, to GoFundMe, people can search Help Paul and Susan Restore Their Lives After Devastating Fire on GoFundMe to find that. | ||
| But just tell us about... | ||
| Personally, how you've experienced these horrible fires in LA? Oh, Harrison, it sucks. | ||
| And it's very surreal to be talking about this. | ||
| I haven't seen the devastation myself. | ||
| I'm currently in Berlin, but I'm going to be coming back soon. | ||
| I've seen the footage. | ||
| I've seen people ride their bikes through town with little GoPros in the days that have followed. | ||
| And it's been truly horrific. | ||
| I mean, you would have had to have lived there to know what has been destroyed because ruins look like ruins. | ||
| Honestly, it looks like Nagasaki or Hiroshima. | ||
| But I crunched some numbers and it's way worse than Nagasaki and Hiroshima. | ||
| And obviously there's a major difference, meaning a lot of people were killed in those things. | ||
| But Nagasaki was 1,900 acres. | ||
| Hiroshima was 3,000 acres. | ||
| Palisades Fire was 23,700 acres. | ||
| So we're talking about over five times combined Nagasaki and Hiroshima, which is, you know, just to give you a little, that's the level. | ||
| And this is one of the best neighborhoods. | ||
| In the world, quite frankly, it was a secret of Los Angeles. | ||
| You know, not many people could afford to live there. | ||
| My parents couldn't afford to live there anymore. | ||
| My dad bought the house in 76. He built a second story. | ||
| He raised his family there. | ||
| And now he's without a home and he's lost everything. | ||
| And you can imagine it's just totally devastating. | ||
| I can only imagine. | ||
| Honestly, it's hard for me to imagine that. | ||
| I mean, it's one thing when you have a catastrophe hit an area, you at least think, well, you know, we'll all go back and rebuild. | ||
| But I mean, there's just nothing left here. | ||
| It's sort of horrifying. | ||
| Honestly, I can only imagine. | ||
| I mean, what do you think happens from here on out? | ||
| I mean, do you think the people that live there are going to rebuild? | ||
| Do you think people are just going to move and go somewhere else? | ||
| Like, I mean, just what do you think is going to happen at this point on? | ||
| The Palisades is still the Palisades. | ||
| It's still ideal for many reasons. | ||
| The weather is still the weather, and it still has infrastructure. | ||
| Actually, I've seen the footage. | ||
| Not all has been lost. | ||
| In fact, the area of town that Rick Caruso developed, the newest area, that's fine. | ||
| All those buildings are fine. | ||
| There's several hundred houses that are fine. | ||
| The Pali High is going to be okay. | ||
| It's going to survive. | ||
| So there's Noah's Bagel. | ||
| That survived. | ||
| My Starbucks is dead. | ||
| But there's a movie theater in town. | ||
| It has the charm. | ||
| It will rebuild. | ||
| All these people, they have money and whatever they can wrestle out of their insurance companies. | ||
| Quite frankly, I'm going to be bold here. | ||
| Let me say something that might be controversial. | ||
| I am actually in favor of firing, and I think we need more fire because we need to start to fire everyone who was in charge. | ||
| They need to go immediately, as in recall. | ||
| We've done recalls in California before. | ||
| These people... | ||
| We're asleep at the wheel. | ||
| They have failed miserably. | ||
| The town has been lit up and razed to the ground. | ||
| And we're talking $250 billion of damage. | ||
| This is inexcusable. | ||
| This is unforgivable. | ||
| This is the most catastrophic mess-up in the history of fire prevention. | ||
| Quite frankly, it's embarrassing. | ||
| I'm embarrassed. | ||
| When I was looking at the footage, there's a fire station in town, right in the heart of the Palisades. | ||
| The fire station didn't burn down, I presume, because it was built of stone. | ||
| Every single building around that fire station is burned. | ||
| There's nothing there. | ||
| Now, I don't blame the firefighters. | ||
| Let's be clear. | ||
| They tried their best. | ||
| These are brave people that do their best. | ||
| But the leadership? | ||
| Let's put some people on blast. | ||
| It's Gavin Newsom, yes. | ||
| It's Karen Bass, the mayor who should never have won. | ||
| By the way, she barely won. | ||
| She was the establishment Democratic pick. | ||
| She barely won over this billionaire real estate tycoon, Rick Caruso, Everyone loves. | ||
| He got 70% approval in the Palisades. | ||
| The guy is from the Palisades. | ||
| His daughter lost a home. | ||
| He built up and enhanced the Palisades. | ||
| The guy's our boy. | ||
| He's a local guy. | ||
| We want him in because he's a problem solver. | ||
| He's a go-getter. | ||
| And he knows what's what. | ||
| He knows that this fire should never have done this. | ||
| Look, you can't stop fire. | ||
| I'm not mad at the fire. | ||
| Fire's going to do what it's going to do. | ||
| But you can mitigate this and you can prevent it from wiping out the entire village. | ||
| City? | ||
| I mean, the level of destruction is just mind-blowing. | ||
| But oh, yeah, also, let's put some other people on the chopping block. | ||
| The head of the Department of Water and Power, who is another DEI hire, a woman, we have the lesbian-in-chief over at the Los Angeles Fire Department, and her assistant lesbian-in-chief, who is a black, trans, whatever, lesbionic person of color. | ||
| The TikToks and the videos that have surfaced, mind-blowing. | ||
| I thought it was a joke. | ||
| I thought it was Saturday Night Live. | ||
| It is not. | ||
| It is morbid. | ||
| It is surreal. | ||
| We can get into it if you want. | ||
| Yeah, no, let's get into it because that's what I want to know. | ||
| I mean, we're just sort of watching this from afar and, you know, it's typical who we blame. | ||
| It seems pretty obvious their priorities were completely out of whack. | ||
| They're prioritizing the most insane DEI leftist nonsense when, you know, the kindling was slowly piling up, just waiting for a spark. | ||
| But, you know, having experienced this personally, I can imagine the anger is a lot more visceral to you and a lot more probably focused on the people who, you know, actually deserve it. | ||
| I mean, what is the – is it recalling? | ||
| Is it criminal charges? | ||
| I mean, I don't know what you do to get back from this. | ||
| Obviously, hopefully we're learning our lessons. | ||
| And again, you know, for people that are outside L.A. I'm even guilty of this myself a little bit. | ||
| I saw a headline yesterday that was like, you know, this could happen in Austin, too. | ||
| And it sort of struck me. | ||
| I was like, oh, crap, it could happen in Austin. | ||
| Like, you think about this as like, well, that's California. | ||
| They're crazy. | ||
| It's like, well, it could sort of happen anywhere. | ||
| Hopefully it'll be a wake-up call for people not in L.A. to, you know, make sure their leaders are on top of things. | ||
| But I mean, what would even be justice at this point, I guess, is what I'm asking. | ||
| There's an instinct to blame, and I get it. | ||
| We're not going to scream at the fire. | ||
| This was not an act of God. | ||
| We know about fires. | ||
| We've had many fires. | ||
| These people were asleep at the wheel, and they were totally incompetent. | ||
| Let me put it as bluntly as possible. | ||
| We had no water to fight this. | ||
| Now, the hurricane-force winds were a major problem. | ||
| You have embers flying everywhere, and it was a historic confluence of horrible... | ||
| Weather patterns to lead to this disaster. | ||
| But, look, the reservoir was empty. | ||
| Okay, heads must roll metaphorically here. | ||
| This is not a minor screw-up. | ||
| They did not get the brush under control. | ||
| It was never cleared. | ||
| We didn't have enough fire breaks at all. | ||
| So everyone's fired. | ||
| So imagine you go out with your wife on a date. | ||
| You have a babysitter. | ||
| You come back. | ||
| Your child's dead. | ||
| It's cold. | ||
| It's lying on the floor. | ||
| First starters, okay, there's going to be a personal tragedy at play there. | ||
| There's going to be processing and, you know, grief. | ||
| The babysitter is fired. | ||
| Can we just state that? | ||
| The babysitter is fired. | ||
| Never again, this babysitter. | ||
| So when you talk about rebuilding, it's a clean sweep of everyone in charge, and it has to be. | ||
| And it has to be immediate. | ||
| I don't want Karen Bass. | ||
| First of all, she wasn't even here, and she's off in Ghana doing that whole thing. | ||
| The interview, did you catch her at the airport getting confronted by the Sky Reporter? | ||
| Acting like she wasn't hearing the question. | ||
| It was creepy. | ||
| Honestly, it was creepy. | ||
| It reminds me of one of those pedophile encounters where they ambush a pedophile and he's like, look, I don't want to talk on camera. | ||
| I've done something very wrong. | ||
| What on earth? | ||
| We are paying your salary. | ||
| You are supposed to be the leader of the city. | ||
| You're completely AWOL and a disaster has unfolded and you're sitting there You know, ghosting or stonewalling this interviewer? | ||
| You have nothing to say? | ||
| I mean, this is worse than George Bush getting the news about 9-11 whispered in his ear, and he continues reading the children's book. | ||
| I mean, what on earth? | ||
| She shouldn't survive the week politically. | ||
| So it's a total disgrace and an embarrassment. | ||
| And she's just one of the people. | ||
| The others, the DEI crew. | ||
| I mean, first of all, were you aware that lesbians run the fire departments of major cities? | ||
| I never got that memo. | ||
| Why is this the case? | ||
| It's a brilliant signal of our progressive ideals. | ||
| It's a major triumph. | ||
| I've been led to believe over and over. | ||
| This is a wonderful thing. | ||
| What's the problem with lesbian fire crews? | ||
| No, I had no idea until this time that this is what we're prioritizing. | ||
| And this is the thing. | ||
| It's like... | ||
| You can almost tolerate it if it's like, oh, we're going to have DEI hiring and whatever for street cleaners. | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| Fine, get whoever a job. | ||
| But the fact that DEI is now infiltrated into firefighting and the military and medical school and who's going to be our doctors, it's now a life and death issue as to whether we pursue this insane identity politics stuff or whether we just hire the most meritocratic. | ||
| And of course, the frustrating part is that not only are they not answering questions like you saw or just, you know, Fumbling through their answers and reading scripts and not even understanding what they're saying. | ||
| There's that part, too, where she's like, you can find answers for this at URL. And it's like, are you even listening to yourself? | ||
| So that's crazy. | ||
| Now they're just playing the blame game, right? | ||
| Now they're just trying to point fingers and going, actually, it's that person's fault. | ||
| It's this person's fault. | ||
| And then on top of that... | ||
| If they're still in office during the rebuilding, they're like greedy. | ||
| I'm sure you've seen Gavin Newsom. | ||
| He's like dancing around going, oh, we're going to be able to really remake the city now. | ||
| It's going to be LA 2.0. | ||
| And so they fail so horribly the whole city gets burned down. | ||
| And now they're the ones in charge of rebuilding it. | ||
| And they're going to be the ones choosing the contracts and who they go to and where all the federal money flows to. | ||
| For one thing, I totally agree with you. | ||
| They have to be fired. | ||
| I think criminal charges wouldn't be off the table. | ||
| Total dereliction of duty. | ||
| There's got to be some sort of punishment for this. | ||
| But at the very least, they shouldn't be the ones benefiting from the recovery and managing the rebuilding because that's just more power and influence to them and they show they are incapable of wielding it. | ||
| So, I don't know. | ||
| What are your thoughts? | ||
| I mean, the fact that they're trying to blame everybody, it's just like, focus on the problem at hand, guys. | ||
| I feel bad for... | ||
| Gavin, a little bit. | ||
| I mean, he is a scumbag, but he has to show up at the scene in the rubble with the fires behind him because otherwise people would say, oh my God, you're just like a champagne liberal up in San Fran. | ||
| You're not going to come here and help with the disaster. | ||
| But what it does is now we have all this footage of him with the city of Los Angeles just completely in ruins and his face and his smirk. | ||
| Like, why are you smiling, sir? | ||
| What is funny here? | ||
| What is lighthearted about this? | ||
| And his passing of the buck and trying to delineate, oh, well, this was a state reservoir and this is a local one and this is, like, who is in charge here? | ||
| What are we doing? | ||
| These people are completely self-interested. | ||
| The trip from Karen Bass to Ghana, that was her vanity project. | ||
| That was a victory lap for her to say, look, I'm of African descent. | ||
| I'm a high-powered political Black woman from America. | ||
| I mean, what are you doing over there? | ||
| She's aware the winds are coming. | ||
| We had a week's warning on this. | ||
| And we had fires a couple weeks prior. | ||
| I mean, so you have to understand, I am animated and livid because I know what has been lost personally. | ||
| And look, this is not just about us. | ||
| And there's a weird communal grief going on here because we have this Hiroshima-type event where it's just thousands of people that we know, our entire community, which has been there for, you know, 100 years. | ||
| The Methodists started it back in 22. And it's been the most tranquil, serene place, a magical place to raise families. | ||
| I loved my childhood there, and I was living there. | ||
| I've been living there the last two years. | ||
| So this is my life has been completely railroaded by these people. | ||
| But look, I don't want to be strictly in the blame game because it's now the rebuilding game. | ||
| Yes, they need to be fired, but we need to put people in who are competent to solve this problem. | ||
| And I am confident Trump is aware of what is going on here. | ||
| One of the things they need to do is get rid of the red tape. | ||
| All these regulations to rebuild, all the zoning crap, that has to be gone. | ||
| And the victims of this fire need to get a fast track. | ||
| Otherwise, people are going to move. | ||
| They're just going to leave. | ||
| These people don't have the time. | ||
| Many of them are older people. | ||
| They've lived their whole lives. | ||
| They need a home and they need to have their lives happen now. | ||
| Not in three years. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| And as you pointed out, your parents bought the house in the 70s. | ||
| They probably wouldn't be able to afford it now. | ||
| My neighborhood growing up in Houston is sort of similar. | ||
| A lot of people, if they're not given help and given support to rebuild, they're not going to be able to afford it anyway, and they'll just have to leave. | ||
| So it's just absolutely horrible. | ||
| And again, the silver lining, I guess, to this is that there is always after disaster, the community coming together, the neighborhood sort of going, man, our beef wasn't that big of a deal. | ||
| Now we're both in this, you know. | ||
| We have to work together to get out of it. | ||
| So hopefully we can see people come together and help each other out. | ||
| And I know, again, that's one of the reasons I wanted to have you on to get help to your parents, who I know have this GoFundMe set up. | ||
| You can just search Help Paul and Susan Restore Their Lives After Devastating Fire and go find Devin Tracy on X at It's Devin Tracy. | ||
| And I'm sure there's... | ||
| There's links to it there, but you hate to see this strike somebody and then they're left on the hook when they really didn't do anything to deserve what's happened to them. | ||
| And again, to lose your childhood home, I can only imagine the sort of mourning process you're going through. | ||
| I do want to shift gears just a little bit because we don't have too much time left here. | ||
| And I would love to get your take on what's happening to the left right now. | ||
| And it does sort of dovetail into this because I wonder if... | ||
| If these fires are going to be a true wake-up call and people are going to sort of start looking at everything they believe and go, man, this whole DEI thing really screwed us over. | ||
| What's behind this and why do we believe this again? | ||
| And maybe the right wing has a point here. | ||
| Maybe my house wouldn't have burned down if I wouldn't have followed the leftist so long. | ||
| So I wonder if there's a... | ||
| A transformation, a genuine transformation going on, or if people are going to say, well, this is bad, but I'm still Democrat, you know, true blue till I die. | ||
| And I wonder the same thing with people like the Young Turks and other lefties now that seem to be sort of tempering their rhetoric a little bit. | ||
| Is it legitimate? | ||
| Is it real? | ||
| Is it long-lasting? | ||
| Or is this just a flash in the pan? | ||
| So I don't know if that parallel makes any sense, but... | ||
| Do you think people are going to wake up? | ||
| Do you think people on the left waking up right now? | ||
| Is it sincere? | ||
| Is it a grift? | ||
| Is it going to stick? | ||
| What do you think is happening? | ||
| In particular, the Young Turks, I know you've been a critic of them for quite a while. | ||
| I hope we didn't lose them right there. | ||
| You can say that. | ||
| I'm right here. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Yeah, there's a lot there. | ||
| I mean, there's a lot to dive into there. | ||
| I would say yes. | ||
| The DEI stuff, the woke stuff, has run its course. | ||
| You know, not quite. | ||
| There will still be little bastions of people that stick to it, but it has jumped the shark. | ||
| It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye or until one of the best cities in our country gets completely burned to the ground. | ||
| And it's in part because of the incompetence of the people hired from the mayor to the chief of the Department of Water and Power, who is a doozy, to the fire chiefs. | ||
| I mean, these people, it is a fireable offense that they are bringing up their sexuality or their race. | ||
| In a professional capacity while talking about their job to fight fires. | ||
| It is completely irrelevant. | ||
| We are sick of this bullshit identity politics. | ||
| You are obviously incompetent. | ||
| There could have been people better suited to serve us at this job. | ||
| It's no more fun and games. | ||
| We are not sitting here picking who gets to read the bingo numbers at an old age home. | ||
| And it's like, oh, let's let Martha have a shot at it because Frank does it every week. | ||
| It's like, no one's going to die if Martha sucks at reading the numbers, right? | ||
| Have died over 20. We've lost billions of dollars. | ||
| Our family homes, my family home. | ||
| This is inexcusable and ridiculous. | ||
| So yes, it is absolutely obnoxious that these people have pushed this really... | ||
| I mean, it's transparently racist. | ||
| And I'll come up with a new word. | ||
| It's heterophobic. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| The celebration of gay culture, gay whatever identity. | ||
| Who gives a shit? | ||
| You do not get a... | ||
| A gold star because you suck a D here or there or do whatever scissoring. | ||
| We don't care. | ||
| You cannot fight fires. | ||
| Your policy decisions were insane. | ||
| We had no water. | ||
| Okay, I'm going to ratchet it down. | ||
| Let's talk to Young Turks. | ||
| Young Turks, first of all, these people are older than they've ever been, okay? | ||
| You know, you're familiar with linear time. | ||
| We're all aging. | ||
| Cenk is in his 50s. | ||
| Anna is approaching 40. They, you know, just by... | ||
| Raw physics. | ||
| They're going to be less stupid than they used to be. | ||
| They've just been around long enough. | ||
| Now, I'm here to tell you that they are not red-pilled in the slightest. | ||
| They are showing a modicum of common sense, which is like, congratulations, you get a golf clap. | ||
| But I'll give you some of the things that are being given credit to them as to their awakening, their movement to the right. | ||
| And you tell me if you should be impressed with this. | ||
| There's such a thing as biological sex is one of the things that got them in trouble. | ||
| Big trouble. | ||
| They ended relationships over that. | ||
| How about this one? | ||
| It's not cool to cheat at sports. | ||
| So no men, you cannot compete against women in sports. | ||
| Sorry, that's cheating and it's immoral. | ||
| Here's another one. | ||
| I hope you're sitting down for this. | ||
| Crime is bad. | ||
| Crime is bad is a hot-button issue in the progressive circles. | ||
| And we're sitting here from afar. | ||
| If you're anywhere into the normal spheres of life, like the center, the right, or a moderate liberal, you're looking at this going, are you people effing serious? | ||
| Can you please grow up and, like, homelessness? | ||
| So Anna gets bumped into by some apparently white homeless guy, and he pushes his boner into her, and that starts a cataclysmic change of her worldview, apparently. | ||
| And now... | ||
| Talking about the homeless, homelessness is a problem in our country, in our city, country too. | ||
| We got 80,000 homeless people. | ||
| And it's not just homelessness, it's the homeless. | ||
| They themselves are, first of all, gross, dirty, mentally deranged. | ||
| They're drug addicts, mental health problems. | ||
| Yeah, they got all of them. | ||
| They commit 10% of the murders in our city, and they are a blight. | ||
| They are our personal dingleberry that we cannot get rid of, we cannot address. | ||
| Caruso wanted to address it. | ||
| Bass does nothing for it. | ||
| And we are, quite frankly, sickened by them. | ||
| And I'm sick of coexisting in this hellscape where we have homeless people just wandering around like it's apocalyptic, it's Mad Max. | ||
| Actually, they didn't even have homeless people in Mad Max. | ||
| I'd prefer to live in the Mad Max era. | ||
| All the homeless got jobs in Mad Max. | ||
| He had to be a blood troller for somebody. | ||
| No, you're exactly right. | ||
| But isn't it fascinating that we're seeing this movement to the right and it always seems predicated on personal... | ||
| Personally being affected, right? | ||
| Mayor Adams in New York got personally attacked and is suddenly moving to the right. | ||
| Anna Kasparian gets personally assaulted and suddenly she realizes. | ||
| For people that claim to like empathy, they really need to be personally affected before they're willing to consider the problems that they're causing. | ||
| It's such a good insight and it's such like a red flag. | ||
| It shows you who they are. | ||
| They're definitely self-interested, but they're also massive hypocrites. | ||
| Okay, so what they say and what they do, do not sync up. | ||
| There's countless examples of this. | ||
| A couple other movements that they've moved a little bit to the right, and I'm not even joking with you, they said we shouldn't abolish prisons. | ||
| So that was a controversial thing. | ||
| We need cops. | ||
| So they did want to defund the cops, so they got behind that. | ||
| But then, yeah, we do need cops. | ||
| And guess who they're going to call the second they're in trouble, the second they're in danger, they're calling the cops. | ||
| They did say that Luigi killing an innocent man and shooting him in the back, just executing him. | ||
| So they said that was bad technically before they launched into a diatribe about how he was justified in being irate about health insurance. | ||
| So they kind of walked the line on that a little bit, but technically they're against lynching, which is nice. | ||
| They got that going for them. | ||
| And also they're just blatantly racist to white people. | ||
| So Anna Kasparian has come forward. | ||
| She has said, look, I regret. | ||
| Having done 15,000 segments about Karen this, Karen that, and just basically crapping on white people, which is great, Anna. | ||
| Thanks. | ||
| Those videos are still up, and you can't just come forward and be like, you know, I've decided to stop being racist starting now. | ||
| It's like, okay, well, again, what kind of approval are you seeking from us? | ||
| It's not impressive. | ||
| It's not good enough. | ||
| You know, you're repugnant people. | ||
| By the way, I don't know if your audience knows this, but, like, Cenk is trying to cozy up with you all. | ||
| He's coming out there. | ||
| He's like, look, let's have a beer. | ||
| Let's argue. | ||
| But we're populists. | ||
| We're all the same. | ||
| No, you're not. | ||
| It's all ridiculous. | ||
| Cenk has blood on his hands. | ||
| He inspired his fan to kill cops. | ||
| Can you hang on for a few minutes? | ||
| Can we do a few minutes on the other side of the break? | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Okay, all right, because I feel like we're just sort of ramping up here on talking about the Young Turks, and there's a lot we can get into, and that in particular is something that's been popping up in my mind quite a bit, especially because we're being sued and now owe $1.5 billion for apparently having inspired people to do things, despite the fact that they're totally unrelated to us. | ||
| Not so much the case with the Young Turks, actually a much more egregious example from them. | ||
| Devontracee will tell you about it on the other side at itsdevontracee on X. | ||
| This is the American Journal. | ||
| I'm your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
| I asked our guest, Devin Tracy, to stay on for a few more minutes because I feel like we were just getting into one of the topics I wanted to discuss with him. | ||
| Of course, the first topic we discussed was the fires in which Devin lost his childhood home. | ||
| His parents now have a GoFundMe. | ||
| You can search Help Paul and Susan Restore Their Lives After Devastating Fire on GoFundMe. | ||
| Follow Devin on X at It'sDevinTracy. | ||
| And yeah, I'm totally with you with what you're saying about the Young Turks. | ||
| I guess we sort of teased it at the end there. | ||
| Tell us about what you were referencing. | ||
| I know this whole story, but for our audience, you said Cenk Uygur has blood on his hands. | ||
| I mean, why do you say that? | ||
| You know, I think I'm going to release these videos. | ||
| Go sign up on my Twitter because I'm just going to put them out for free. | ||
| But I've made multiple videos on this. | ||
| Really, the world should know about this. | ||
| These people have escaped accountability. | ||
| Let me give you just a quick setup. | ||
| So the Young Turks lost. | ||
| All right, Trump won. | ||
| Trump won the popular vote. | ||
| The progressive movement lost. | ||
| They lost within the left. | ||
| Like, everybody they put forward loses, including Cenk himself. | ||
| He tried to run for president. | ||
| He tried to run for Congress. | ||
| He loses at everything. | ||
| Their ideas suck. | ||
| They... | ||
| They're just, they're losers, right? | ||
| So what are they going to do? | ||
| If they can't beat you, they're going to try to join you. | ||
| So Cenk is trying to shift over there. | ||
| He's going on right-wing shows. | ||
| He's, you know, he's coming to you like, oh, I'm a friend. | ||
| Like, we have things in common. | ||
| Meanwhile, he calls right-wingers monsters, literally monsters. | ||
| Calls you Neanderthals, calls you pedophiles. | ||
| Everyone's racist. | ||
| Of course you're all racist. | ||
| And it's just... | ||
| Disingenuously, man, obviously has a financial incentive, and it's disgusting. | ||
| They support Hamas, you know, just totally BFF with Hamas, and Hamas has lost too. | ||
| So the whole thing is a sinking ship, and it's kind of got that ick vibe to it, and you just want to distance yourself. | ||
| And then they have a two-front war. | ||
| So the far left, they are not pure enough for the ridiculous commie sort of scum over there. | ||
| And so they're just sick of it, and they're feeling the pressure, and it's coming in on all sides. | ||
| But one of the worst things they ever did was that they inspired a guy to go out and kill cops. | ||
| And this is a super fan of theirs, not just a casual fan. | ||
| This is a man who watched their videos, mirrored their videos on his channel, I Am Cosmo. | ||
| His name was Gavin Long. | ||
| And the thing that put him over the top was the police shooting in Baton Rouge, where cops came in, they killed a blood gangster who was reaching for a gun. | ||
| It's like yawn, right? | ||
| I mean, they didn't want to kill him. | ||
| The guy reached for a gun. | ||
| What do you expect these people to do? | ||
| The guy went berserk. | ||
| He staged an ambush and killed four cops. | ||
| One of the cops survived for several years with severe brain damage and just grinded out just a horrific final years of his life. | ||
| He had a wife and kids. | ||
| The Young Turks did not take accountability for that. | ||
| They have never served jail time. | ||
| No financial settlement. | ||
| It didn't cost them a dime. | ||
| They didn't get a strike from YouTube for having inspired a four-time cop killer. | ||
| And it's disgusting. | ||
| And there's no public acknowledgement from them. | ||
| They don't take any accountability whatsoever. | ||
| They wash their hands of this, and they hope you are too ignorant or stupid to hold them to the fire on this. | ||
| It's all documented, though. | ||
| Like, Gavin Long watched their videos, and they knew that their rhetoric was going to lead to this because they publicly called out Tiller the baby killer. | ||
| So Bill O'Reilly used to talk about this abortion doctor, and he called him Tiller the baby killer. | ||
| And he said, this man is executing babies. | ||
| And I have video of Cenk on record saying this publicly. | ||
| He said, look, if you use the word execution, you know the response that's coming. | ||
| People are going to say, wait. | ||
| We've got to stop this guy from executing babies. | ||
| So what did they do? | ||
| Some guy went out and killed the man. | ||
| Now, Bill O'Reilly was criticized heavily for this. | ||
| And they said, you inspired this guy to go kill because of your rhetoric. | ||
| What does Cenk do when it comes to cops? | ||
| Okay, this is my challenge to you. | ||
| You go to the Young Turks YouTube channel, do a search within his channel, type in the word executed, and look at the titles of those videos. | ||
| They intentionally use that word, knowing full well the... | ||
| Anticipated reaction. | ||
| I mean, this is predictable. | ||
| They know it's going to inspire killers. | ||
| And even on the Baton Rouge killing, type in Baton Rouge or Alton Sterling into that search and it will say, police execute black men in Baton Rouge. | ||
| That was the final straw for Gavin Long. | ||
| He said, okay, it's time for me to take action. | ||
| Someone's got to stop the execution of black men. | ||
| So it's totally crazy. | ||
| I give this knowledge to you. | ||
| This is... | ||
| A gift. | ||
| They deserve to fry for this. | ||
| And it is very frustrating just even talking about it because I've seen the footage of specifically Nicolas Toulier when he was trying to learn how to talk and move his eyeballs around. | ||
| He was totally paralyzed. | ||
| It's just, it really is sickening. | ||
| So anytime you look at these people, understand they are the monsters here. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| And, you know... | ||
| I'm sort of torn because part of me wants to say, oh yeah, this is victory. | ||
| Come on over. | ||
| We're going to join. | ||
| But then it's like, oh wait, who are these guys? | ||
| What have they said about us? | ||
| What have they done to us, even personally first? | ||
| And by the way, I've reached out to them because I do want to talk to them. | ||
| If they're doing this round or they're talking to Dennis Prager or whoever, I'm like, come on, Infoward. | ||
| Come talk to us. | ||
| Let's talk to you for a little while because I really want to... | ||
| I want to confront them with some of these things and see how, you know, genuine their change is. | ||
| But they want nothing to do with us. | ||
| So apparently they haven't gone full red pill yet, you know, as you're laying out here. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| Their numbers are dying. | ||
| I mean, they need to do this. | ||
| So they have a huge channel. | ||
| They have terrible engagement. | ||
| And they've just run dry. | ||
| Do you think they want to make just anti-Trump video after anti-Trump video? | ||
| They've done that for years. | ||
| The better part of a decade. | ||
| And they've lost. | ||
| And it's just, it's tired. | ||
| But don't trust them. | ||
| The man's a liar and he's a hypocrite. | ||
| And it would be nice to put like a trophy on your wall and to mount the head of this fat brown buffalo and be like, okay, we've been telling you you were wrong the whole time. | ||
| I mean, the man used to be a conservative. | ||
| He was a Republican. | ||
| He does change. | ||
| I mean, he denied the Armenian genocide for 50 years publicly. | ||
| He was advocating for the non-existence of the Armenian genocide because he's a Turk and it didn't reflect well upon him. | ||
| And he changed on that. | ||
| So again, golf clap. | ||
| You acknowledge the genocide. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| And it really is that level of like, and it happens all the time here where it's like, you know, a story will come out and it just confirms what we've known forever. | ||
| And it's like, okay, good, I guess. | ||
| Yeah, you understand that biological women exist. | ||
| Like, congratulations, you know? | ||
| It's a good thing, but it really just shows how far we have to go and how bad our situation is as it stands. | ||
| But one thing I thought, It was really interesting. | ||
| And one of the reasons I wanted to ask you about this is in one of your videos, you talk about how Dave Rubin credited you, at least in part, by waking him up because you would make videos criticizing the Young Turks and pointing out the flaws in their arguments. | ||
| And by the way, it's funny. | ||
| You're not a right-winger. | ||
| Like, Devin Tracy, he's a liberal. | ||
| You're a liberal that makes sense and that has logic behind what you say and aren't putting forward all this very illiberal stuff that progressives try to shove down your throat. | ||
| So it's funny to me when you're criticizing these guys and you're going, they're lying about Trump. | ||
| They're lying here. | ||
| They're lying here. | ||
| Trump's a scumbag, by the way, but they're lying. | ||
| And it's like, is that so hard? | ||
| Is it so hard to just acknowledge the truth? | ||
| You can still hate the guy. | ||
| Just don't lie about him. | ||
| It's really not that difficult. | ||
| There are things bigger than all this. | ||
| I mean, you call me a liberal. | ||
| I'm so post-labels politically. | ||
| First of all, I'm on right-wing watch. | ||
| I'm an Obama Democrat, but who cares at this point? | ||
| Right now, there are bigger issues. | ||
| Here's what I'm against. | ||
| I'm against killing people. | ||
| I'm against crime. | ||
| I'm against fires. | ||
| I'm against riots. | ||
| Now, in many people's minds, that makes me a right-winger. | ||
| But for sure, If you speak out about race as a white man in a non-pussified way, they'll demonize you in whatever. | ||
| You're a right-winger, you're a Nazi, you're everything. | ||
| So, look, I'm an Eagle Scout. | ||
| I'm a UCLA graduate. | ||
| I am a white, straight male. | ||
| I am not hiding from that, and I'm sickened by the weakness in the society we live in. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Cenk and Anna, they represent some of the worst. | ||
| Political ideas I've ever come across. | ||
| Dave Rubin, though, he did switch up. | ||
| And, you know, he shifted. | ||
| And there's a little something to be said about maneuvering your positions in life that late into life. | ||
| But he's maintained his position on, like, Israel. | ||
| Like, that was the original conflict they had, is that they disagreed about Israel, as in Cenk is an anti-Semite and hates Israel. | ||
| And Dave Rubin is a Jewish guy, and he is quite fond of Israel. | ||
| So, you know, that's a good thing to be divided about. | ||
| But it doesn't interest me. | ||
| They're irrelevant. | ||
| They're wrong. | ||
| That's what's important. | ||
| And there's bigger things at play here. | ||
| Like, I listened to Elon Musk talk the other day, a great dude from South Africa who's kind of helping the world. | ||
| While we are doing damage control about, you know, talking about what is a boy, what is a girl, what is DEI nonsense, Elon Musk is talking about us becoming an interstellar species or something. | ||
| Like, it was a phrase. | ||
| I was like, what? | ||
| Is this Star Trek? | ||
| I mean, the man has big ideas. | ||
| And wouldn't it be great if we had positive momentum, something that was inspirational, something that wasn't us putting out a, you know, a shitshow of a fire of some raw stupidity or, you know, incompetence? | ||
| Like, we're so tired of that. | ||
| So it's a new year. | ||
| Let's have new goals. | ||
| Let's have better fights. | ||
| And let's ignore people who are, you know, we can easily deem to be irrelevant and broken human beings. | ||
| They don't have to be the main characters of our lives. | ||
| You know, let's push them to the side. | ||
| Let's make them Kramer, but not Jerry Seinfeld. | ||
| That's amazing. | ||
| Wow, what a brilliant way to put it. | ||
| I think you're exactly right. | ||
| And hopefully we can move forward and actually achieve something and have something that we all are proud to contribute to rather than just, as you so accurately put it, the utter dumpster fire of American culture as it exists today. | ||
| I'm completely there with you. | ||
| And I love it. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| I hope the Young Turks have a genuine conversion, but, you know, it's kind of like with my three-year-old, you know, he'll hurt his little sister, and it's like, you know, you say apologize, and he'll just sort of, he keeps playing, he goes, sorry, and looks over his shoulder, he's like, no, no, no. | ||
| You gotta look him in the eyes, you gotta apologize, you gotta explain why you were wrong, like, until Cenk sits down and does a full mea culpa and explains how he's reorganized his thinking, that why all that stuff he used to believe is wrong now, until we get that... | ||
| I say, yeah, treat them like the enemy that they are. | ||

Hi. | |
| I just want to say I agree with what he said. | ||
| He said it all so well. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Before I get to my question real quick, I just want to say when the fire started, I put a post out on Facebook. | ||
| I got people saying things to me that, oh, I can't believe you're involving politics in this. | ||
| And then, like, two days later, they started talking about all the bad stuff that's going on. | ||
| So now I don't feel so bad for what I said, which wasn't really bad, but just, you know, the politics are involved. | ||
| And anyways, they're going to continue to keep voting these people in. | ||
| They don't learn a lesson over there, it seems like. | ||
| But anyways, my question is... | ||
| Is Trump, or have you heard anything about Trump going to be doing something about the Chinese buying this land of ours, and like Bill Gates buying stuff that, correct me if I'm wrong, but buying a bunch of land to maybe not use it for food, and these Chinese buying all this property of ours, can they somehow... | ||
| Give them their money back and take back our land. | ||
| And that's pretty much what I wanted to ask. | ||
| You're too kind, Julie. | ||
| Why give them their money back? | ||
| Just take the land. | ||
| You're too soft on the Chinese. | ||
| No, I completely agree. | ||
| First of all, in your comment about politicizing things, I want to explain this to people. | ||
| There are some disasters that are the consequence of political decisions. | ||
| These fires... | ||
| And how bad they got are the direct result of political decisions made. | ||
| You're not politicizing the disaster. | ||
| The disaster itself is the result of politics. | ||
| So talking about politics is actually talking about the disaster and how to avoid it in the future. | ||
| Then you have other things where a black guy overdoses while in custody and it becomes a racial thing. | ||
| That's politicizing something. | ||
| Right. | ||
| When when George Floyd takes a fentanyl pill and overdoses with Derek Chauvin, nobody there is political. | ||
| There's no political impetus behind that event. | ||
| That was a criminal event by two people totally unrelated to politics. | ||
| Maybe you can get into like the training of the police, but that's like a few far removed things. | ||
| It's that's not really the issue. | ||
| But to make that like now we have to change the law, we have to defund the police. | ||
| That's politicizing a nonpolitical event, whereas the fires are the direct result of political, you know, they're the outcome of political choices that were made. | ||
| And so to talk about the politics that led to it is not politicizing an event. | ||
| And I feel like I just need to make that clear a couple times a year when some event happens. | ||
| People say, stop politicizing this. | ||
| It's like, no, we're talking about the cause of the problem and the cause is political. | ||
| So just clarify that. | ||
| In terms of Bill Gates and China buying land, I haven't heard Trump himself make any statements about this. | ||
| If anybody... | ||
| I think he would be the one to do it. | ||
| This is another thing, like we talked about yesterday, that is happening at the state level to huge success. | ||
| So multiple states have banned laws saying China cannot buy land here. | ||
| It certainly can't buy land around military installations. | ||
| Several states have actually put that into effect in the same way that Ohio and Tennessee and some other states are counteracting World Economic Forum sort of Agenda 2030 programs or Kim Trails or that sort of stuff. | ||
| It's one of the things that the federal government should probably take the lead in, but absent their lead, then the states can just do it themselves, and I think they should. | ||
| So I think that should be something we should look to our local state governments to implement, as well as the federal. | ||
| But usually it's the state governments that are doing that. | ||
| And then, yeah, keep your eye on old Bill, because he is buying up huge swaths of farmland in order to shut them down, in order to force people into factory farming and lab-made meat. | ||
| Another existential crisis that we have to solve at some point. | ||
| Thank you for that call, Julie. | ||

|
Good morning, Harrison. | |
| Can you hear me? | ||
| I hear you. | ||
| Thanks for calling in. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, of course. | |
| I just wanted to let everyone know I had an idea. | ||
| I think that right now would be the perfect time to... | ||
| Get on your Infowars gear, your Alex Jones was right gear, and just find out any kind of local events in your area where you live, wherever the media is going to be at, and just get on media. | ||
| Get coverage of just rocking Infowars gear so we can just put the nail in the coffin for these fools and just get control of the narrative and just let everyone see Infowars everywhere and just recruit. | ||
| We need to recruit some of these libs. | ||
| Some of them there's no hope for. | ||
| Some of them there's no hope for, but... | ||
| For some, you know, I mean, the more people unite, the more numbers we get. | ||
| That's really what it is. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| And, you know, wearing the Infowars gear or, you know, getting a shirt or a hoodie or a hat at thealexjonesstore.com slash Harrison. | ||
| That's thealexjonesstore.com slash Harrison to let them know who sent you. | ||
| It's a conversation starter, and you sort of become an ambassador for our side. | ||
| So, you know, when you're wearing this gear, you know, be prepared. | ||
| You're going to get a lot of high fives and thumbs up. | ||
| You also might get people, you know, You're pissed off or yelling at you or wanting to argue. | ||
| But really, what it should be is a conversation starter. | ||
| And hopefully by wearing some of this stuff, especially some of the more in-your-face T-shirts and things. | ||
| I always think of the fluoride in the water with the skull. | ||
| I mean, it's sort of, it's begging people to ask questions. | ||
| It's begging people to go, well, wait, what do you mean there's poison in the water? | ||
| And at that point, you got your foot in the door. | ||
| You can start talking to them. | ||
| Well, here's what this means. | ||
| Here's why I wear this. | ||
| Here's why I say this. | ||
| And then hopefully you can convert people, but obviously nobody's going to be converted if you're wearing an InfoWars hat and just yelling and being a jerk. | ||
| So just remember, when you wear this stuff, you're an ambassador for us, and you're really opening up the door for conversation that can change people's minds, and that's a big responsibility you have to sort of handle appropriately. | ||
| So it's a fun thing, and InfoWarsStore.com and TheAlexJonesStore.com slash Harrison has... | ||
| You know, examples for any way you want to take it. | ||
| You want the in-your-face one to get people to ask questions, start the conversation. | ||
| We got the in-your-face ones. | ||
| We got the red shirts with the InfoWars right there on the cover. | ||
| The Alex Jones is right. | ||
| The more provocative stuff. | ||
| But there's also just your basic Americana symbolism. | ||
| 1776, you know, united together. | ||
| I mean, this type of stuff. | ||
| The Founding Fathers. | ||
| All Americans should be able to come together on. | ||
| So even if you don't want to be out there as an advertisement for Infowars and just want to show your patriotism and sort of signal against the anti-American sentiment of the culture right now, you got to go to thealexjonesstore.com slash Harrison and get something. | ||
| I mean, the Save the Frog shirt is just a classic, and that will start some conversations for sure. | ||

| Shop now, especially if you are a VIP member. | ||
| You get those amazing discounts. | ||

| Thealexjonesstore.com came with a free hat as supplies last, so I'm not sure if that's still going on. | ||

| Let's go to Aaron in Austin. | ||
| Aaron's here in Austin. | ||
| Thank you for calling in, Aaron. | ||
| You're on the air. | ||
| Aaron, do you read me? | ||
| We okay? | ||
| We'll go back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, can you hear me? | |
| Okay, go ahead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sorry about that. | |
| All right. | ||
| I just wanted to... | ||
| I was reading an article here in Austin about the potential wildfires that they're discussing. | ||
| They were saying that Austin is number one highest risk outside of California. | ||
| So when I'm reading the article, it's talking about some of these homeless encampments that have been catching fire. | ||
| I have quite a few of them actually back behind my house. | ||
| And the park that we take our son to is constantly just overwhelmed with homeless people zombified walking around on drugs. | ||
| And so I reached out to the APD representative for my district. | ||
| And I will withhold his name because he asked me not to repeat this information publicly, but I felt that it was pretty important that people know. | ||
| He told me these groups within Austin, he said, I cannot tell you the names of them, but they are advocating for Pushing the homeless people into your neighborhood. | ||
| And I ask for a little more clarification because it kind of seems like a really big accusation. | ||
| I know there's city council members who are using these groups to actively push the homeless people into the neighborhood because APD's hands are tied when it comes to extracting them out of the wooded areas. | ||
| He said the one in particular that was found behind my house had a shooting range that had been set up by some of the homeless folks. | ||
| And, you know, we were always hearing gunshots going off, you know, pretty regularly. | ||
| But they have been setting fires back there lately. | ||
| There was a fire that was just over off of South 1st Street on Saturday. | ||
| I'm not sure if you saw the news about that, but they found about 40 homeless folks who were... | ||
| Living back there, there's abandoned warehouses and tractor trailers, and I guess they had set a massive fire, and it took about a half hour for the Austin Fire Department to respond, and it's about 300 yards away from a firehouse. | ||
| The fire got unbelievably huge and started to spread through the Greenbelt area, but through the article that is now pretty much all over the place about these Wildfire risks in Austin have pointed out that West Austin in particular is at the highest risk, which coincidentally is the most conservative part of Austin. | ||
| But they said that the fuel loads over there are... | ||
| So we only have about a minute left in the show, but I got it because I totally agree with you. | ||
| I mean, I have the Citizen app and every day there are multiple signals of fire reported, smoke reported, all at homeless camps. | ||
| If you want to see video evidence of this, follow Dash Atex on... | ||
| On X, Dash, friend of the show, he goes around and films these and every camp he goes to there's fires burning, especially now in the winter. | ||
| Total fire risk across the board constantly. | ||
| I myself have called in fires at homeless camps that I saw while I was driving that nobody else had called in. | ||
| So you're absolutely right on all this. | ||
| How are they pushing homeless people into the neighborhoods and why would they do that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm sure you remember the camping ban that we voted to reinstate. | |
| When we did that, it actually only limited the... | ||
| It ties APD's hands to where they're only allowed to go and remove them off of public, like medians and sidewalks, and if they're actually on the physical street. | ||
| However, if they're in the wooded areas, it is... | ||
| Off limits for APD, apparently. | ||
| Oh, it's like bass. | ||
| It's like when you're playing tag and you say bass or you're like playing freeze tag and you say the name of a TV show. | ||
| Okay, it's like a cool little workaround they got where if you're in the woods, you get to start fires and be a criminal and they can't do anything. | ||
| Isn't that amazing? | ||
| Very liberal. | ||
| Gee, I wonder why Austin is the second highest risk outside of California. | ||
| Could it be the liberalism? | ||
| Hmm. | ||
