The American Journal: Deep State Planning Trump Inauguration Attack or Trying To Keep Patriots From Attending? - FULL SHOW - 01/17/2025
The text discusses the power and influence of corporations like BlackRock and Disney over other
companies, comparing them to vampires that have achieved immortality through legal loopholes. It
also mentions the upcoming inauguration as a potential target for false flag terror attacks. The
speaker argues against turning on Elon Musk who has been crucial in achieving victory in their fight
for what they believe in. They criticize left-leaning politicians and discuss various topics
including an energy race with China, TikTok, Red Note app, communism, healthcare in Canada where
15,500 people died waiting for care, Steve Jobs' role in creating unfavorable working conditions
through his deliberate creation of yearly cycles for new phones leading to environmental destruction
on a massive scale. The growth of China has caused significant damage to the environment due to
restrictions on manufacturing in other countries leading to increased pollution and production.
Planned obsolescence or designed obsolescence is a concept that Steve Jobs believed was essential
for profit, which involves creating products with limited lifespans to encourage constant
consumption. The speaker argues that this concept has caused significant environmental harm. They
criticize those who claim to be saving the environment by advocating for reduced consumption and
argue that these individuals are part of a larger scam. Aya Mae is an Australian singer-songwriter
who gained fame with her hit single "Carmageddon". She has recently faced controversy and backlash
for refusing to compromise on the lyrics
There it was in black and white, the terrible truth.
We'd all been too blind or too drunk or too scared to see.
Corporation equals corpse.
Are we blind?
How could we miss it?
These fiendish undead entities shambling through the stock market, gorging themselves on the green blood of commerce while we stood around like helpless cattle, discussing their quarterly earnings reports and market capitalizations as if we were talking about something natural, something human.
We've created monsters.
Not the cheap Hollywood kind that you can kill with a wooden stake or a silver bullet, but something far more insidious.
Immortal paper demons in three-piece suits with teams of lawyers for fangs.
Take Blackrock, that trillion-dollar ghoul squatting in its Manhattan castle like some bloated Count Dracula of finance.
Texas pulls $8.5 billion from BlackRock in stunning blow to ESG movement.
And just when Missouri and Louisiana and Mississippi did this.
And Texas threatened to do it last year.
It made Larry Fink of BlackRock go from, we're going to control all your behavior, run your life, through the thousands of corporations we control.
We control 80-plus percent of all the corporations and wealth on the planet.
To, oh, no, no, no, we're not doing ESGs anymore.
We've abandoned that.
They haven't abandoned it.
They've abandoned the name ESG, which is a corporate governance, which is the beginning and the heart, the foundation.
And really the superstructure of the planetary social credit score where they control every facet of your life, where you go, what you can buy, what you can sell, what you can be paid, where you can travel.
Vampire that learned to feed on childhood dreams instead of blood.
Started out innocent enough, just a friendly cartoon mouse inviting your kids over to play.
Now it's the soul-sucking entertainment leviathan that's been feeding on the imagination of America for nearly a century, getting stronger with each generation it devours.

We have many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in our stories.
And yet we don't have enough leads and narratives in which gay characters just get to be characters.
We've got a pre-recorded interview we did yesterday with Australian musical artist Aya May.
Aya May.
She went totally viral with her new song, Carmageddon, where she calls out Anthony Fauci and Israel and a number of other untouchable public topics.
And we had a great conversation.
That'll be played in the last hour of today's show.
We'll open up the phone lines nice and early for you today.
Take as many phone calls as possible.
We have a lot of stories to get into on the final broadcast before the inauguration on Monday, at least for us here on American Journal.
We got a lot of people in D.C. who we will be talking to throughout the day Monday.
Keeping an eye on things as...
I do think and have thought for a while that the inauguration would be the biggest potential target for false flag terror attack that we're going to face.
Lots of videos to show you today as well, so let's just get into it.
it here it is your daily dispatch all right here it is folks your daily dispatch for friday the 17th of january 2025 energy department deploys helicopters over dc scanning for radiological or nuclear irregular irregularities ahead of trump's historic inauguration
As the nation's capital braces for President-elect Donald Trump's historic inauguration, the U.S. Department of Energy is ramping up to unprecedented security measures.
Helicopters equipped with cutting-edge radiation detection technology are buzzing low over Washington, D.C., scanning for potential radiological or nuclear irregularities.
In an exclusive look at security preparation, CBS's Nicole Suganga...
Star Wars character.
Join the Department of Energy senior scientist Jacqueline Brandon aboard one of the agency's highly specialized helicopters flying in a meticulous grid over the National Mall.
The aircraft's mission is clear, detect and neutralize threats like dirty bombs or other nuclear hazards.
Again, the threats to the inauguration are innumerable.
The biggest one being government ourselves.
But drones, of course, being a very big topic of concern.
For an open-air inauguration for which there is no reliable protection against a drone attack of some sort.
So we'll be waiting to find out.
We'll be waiting to see what happens on Monday.
Hope you join us then, and we'll be broadcasting the whole thing live.
Meanwhile...
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls President Trump and thanks him for his assistance in brokering the hostage release and peace deal.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called President Trump on Thursday and thanked him for his assistance in brokering the peace agreement and hostage release with the Hamas terrorists.
As reported earlier, President-elect Donald Trump's Middle East envoy Scott Witkoff was the deciding factor in securing a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, but President Joe Biden nevertheless took a victory lap anyway.
Arab leaders in the talk crediting Donald Trump with being responsible for the talks all coming together.
And now Benjamin Netanyahu has more or less endorsed this position and called President Trump to thank him for getting the ceasefire agreement and not President Biden.
Meanwhile, Israeli Security Cabinet approves Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal.
The Israeli Cabinet will convene on Friday to approve the Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal, which the smaller Security Cabinet has already approved.
And that was the bigger hurdle, as I understand it, because the Security Cabinet is the Prime Minister's Cabinet, which is the hard-right, hard-line Zionist faction.
So it got through that, and the deal still has to be approved by the full Cabinet before it's implemented.
The Israeli Prime Minister's office said the ceasefire and the process of freeing the hostages are expected to start on Sunday at 4 p.m.
local time.
The cabinet meeting was moved up from Saturday night at the urging of the director of Israel's Shin Bet Intelligence Agency, Ronan Barr, according to an Israeli official.
We can return to that as well, but apparently the ceasefire should be in place Sunday afternoon.
Meanwhile, Biden pardons nearly 2,500 nonviolent drug offenders.
What's the difference between a pardon as an executive forgiveness of a crime while commutation as an executive lowering of the penalty?
President Joe Biden has now issued more individual pardons and commutations than any president in history after announcing announcing Friday that he was pardoning nearly twenty five hundred nonviolent drug offenders.
Biden said in the announcement, which came just three days before his term ends, that he's commuting the sentences of nearly twenty five hundred people convicted of nonviolent drug offenses and serving disproportionately long sentences compared to the sentences they would receive today under current law, policy and practice.
Yeah, I don't like this.
I don't like this.
And this isn't actually supposed to be how the presidential power is wielded, but technically I guess he's allowed to.
The idea is that if there are Exceptional cases, the president can step in and pardon or commute senate.
You're not supposed to do it thousands at a time, going back in time and deciding that the laws, as they used to be written, were wrong, and now we have to backtrack and change them ex post facto.
Because I don't like it.
I don't like it.
I don't like it.
The way the law is...
At the time is how it should be carried out into the future.
I have the feeling that this is going to go both ways.
It's going to be like, well, you know, there weren't those speech laws back then when you said it, but now those laws do exist, so we've got to go back in time and punish you, even though at the time it wasn't illegal what you did.
Sort of the same idea to me.
If it was illegal at the time, if it was a crime at the time, and they were given the lawful punishment dictated by law at the time, Then they should have to serve it.
And then you can change the law and not do that into the future.
But I don't like this idea of going back in time and deciding that the laws as they used to be written were wrong.
And so now we have to change things now.
And it's just I don't like it.
I don't like it.
Finally, we have this.
FBI quietly closes DEI office in anticipation of Trump.
The FBI quietly closed his DEI office last month in anticipation of the incoming Trump presidency.
Earlier this month, Senator Marsha Blackburn sent a letter to outgoing FBI Director Wray and demanded he stop prioritizing DEI after the New Orleans terror attack.
Now, DEI, the DEI office has closed, but apparently the Trump administration has issued legal instruction to the FBI to preserve all of their records.
When it comes to DEI. So they may be shutting down the office, but the investigation into the practices of the office will continue in Trump's administration.
So that's your Daily Dispatch, of course, brought to you by Infowarsstore.com.
Go there today to get Survival Shield X2 Nascent Iodine.
Incredible and best-selling product at Infowarsstore.com is now on sale at 50% off.
Stock up while you can.
After all, Infowars might not have long to exist, depending on...
How things go in the courtroom later this month.
We'll figure that out.
I guess here I want to make something clear, even though it's not you people that need to hear this.
It's everybody that doesn't listen to Infowars but thinks they know everything about us.
We only get income from the sites.
That's the only way that we have any income.
That's where all of our funding comes from, Infowarsstore.com.
The AlexJonesStore.com.
That's our funding mechanism.
We don't have investors.
We don't have sponsors.
We have not been bought by Elon Musk.
We're not being paid by Israel.
Honestly, it's so bizarre.
You see these things on X where it's people like, Alex Jones sold out to Elon Musk.
Like, for what?
What are you talking about?
What are you talking about?
I mean, when you get right down to it, all that really means is Alex Jones agrees with Elon Musk sometimes.
And I guess that's the objection.
But doesn't selling out require that something be sold and you get income for that?
I don't even understand where these rumors are coming from.
I genuinely am baffled at what people think is going on.
Maybe there's some confusion with the fact that Elon Musk's lawyers were at the...
Hearing, the bankruptcy hearing, let me just reiterate, even though I've said this a whole bunch of times, they were there to deal with a concern X had about giving up the, you know, handles of, you know, at Real Alex Jones and at Infowars.
And they settled everything before the bankruptcy proceedings even happened.
The group that is aligned with us.
Putting forward bids is not Elon Musk Group.
So just where is this coming?
It's very strange.
You would think if we sold out, we would get something in return for that.
And you would also see a change in our programming probably.
But none of that happened.
This is the funny thing.
You had this story a few months ago.
People like Tim Pool and Benny Johnson and others being accused of being...
Russian agents.
But they were, you know, and we defended them.
Thank you.
We defended them and, you know, described what a farce that was and how it was clearly just a totally baseless investigation in order to smear the right wing to provide talking points to the left wing media who's losing the culture war.
But even then, at least they were getting $100,000 a month from Russia or whatever.
I mean, they were getting a huge amount of money from Russia.
Now, again, they're...
Output didn't change.
Their content wasn't affected, as far as anybody could tell, as far as I could tell, or the investigation.
You never found that they were instructed to cover things a certain way.
So I don't even know if I would call that selling out, but at least they got hundreds of thousands of dollars a month.
Where's our hundreds of thousands of dollars a month from the people we're selling out to?
Apparently just agreeing with somebody is selling out.
And other people going, Well, you're just, you've changed your tune since Infowars no longer relies on selling supplements since they got, now they're just being paid directly by Israel.
And it's like, it's got like 200 likes.
And it's just like, what are they, what are they even talking about?
What is going on?
What is going on?
I genuinely, I just, I'm just baffled at what these claims are supposed to be or what they're supposed to mean.
Especially when I posted a thing yesterday.
And the first response I got was, I used to be a listener to your show until you started dedicating every second of every show to hating Israel.
Like, well, wait, hold on.
Do the Israelis know this?
Do they know that despite paying us off, I'm relentlessly anti-Israel and it's the only thing I cover?
It's just, I don't get it.
It's very bizarre and it's very strange.
But all this is to say that we get funding from one source.
And this is absolutely undeniable.
I mean, I guess it makes sense because then you've got people posting pictures of Alex Jones now, Finn, looking healthy, and they're just like, either they think he's a clone or they think he's been replaced or they think he's on a Zimpik.
It's like Alex Jones and his fitness trainer have been posting practically daily workout videos.
For a year.
So I don't, it's like, it's very, it's very odd how people just don't see this stuff, don't look into things at all.
It's all very weird.
It's all very strange.
It's all very blackpilling, to be honest with you, because it's like, something's happened on our side in the last couple years, maybe even just the last like year or so.
So it used to be that like, To sort of get into our content, our material, you had to be good at research and investigation, and even just basic logic.
You had to have a certain level of IQ to be able to identify patterns.
It's all IQ is, really.
It's just identifying patterns.
If you take an IQ test, it's all just pattern recognition.
And so, you know, you would see something that was inexplicable, that where the official explanation wasn't up to snuff, had some...
You know, glaring inconsistencies in it.
And then you'd go research, try to figure out, like, okay, what are we missing here?
What are they hiding from us?
What's being kept from us?
And usually if you dug a little bit, you would find, like, what the real ulterior motive of whatever policy was being pursued or attack occurred or whatever.
And I don't know if, you know, we've gotten too big tent.
The gate's been left open.
And not even like, you know, we want to gatekeep this side.
It's just there used to be these kind of natural barriers.
It's kind of like you had to be a certain type of person to sort of find this information because the information wasn't spoon-fed to everybody.
So only people that went out and looked for it, only people who were intellectually curious or, again, you know, could see these inconsistencies and wanted to find out more.
Like the Matrix, right?
It's like...
You know, Neo chasing the white rabbit.
It's like you've got to actually notice something's wrong.
You've got to look around and go, something's not quite right.
I better look into this.
I guess that doesn't really happen anymore.
So you've got like, you know, the before and after of Alex Jones.
You've got Alex Jones at his largest and unhealthiest.
And then a year later, you've got Alex Jones thin and fit and healthy.
And so this is the type of thing where like, if you just see these two things, you go, well, what happened?
What am I missing here?
Then you should do, like, one second of research and go, how did Alex Jones get skinny?
Oh, he's been working out every single day.
Oh, he goes on five-mile hikes every single day, and he stopped drinking, and he started really dedicating himself to physical fitness, like in an almost obsessive way for the last year.
And you can watch over the entire year as he slowly, by, you know, gradations, loses all of this weight.
And then you go, okay, that's the explanation.
He was fat.
Now he's skinny.
He worked out every day for a year.
Problem solved.
Now it's just like, okay, he's fat, he's skinny.
Let's just come up with something totally baseless.
Assert that.
Do no research.
Not look into it at all.
It's like something, like we used to really care about being accurate and being right about things and like finding the information, but I guess that's like gone out the window at this point, and it's very frustrating.
It's very frustrating, I have to say.
Because again, it's like, It would be nice to be paid off by Israel.
It'd be nice if we sold out to Elon Musk.
Elon Musk doesn't even interact with us on X. He's just like, what is the claim?
I don't know.
Maybe I'll open up phone calls about this because I'm genuinely confused about not only people saying this, but like so many people liking the comments because it's like, I don't even get what the claim is.
Genuinely, I don't even get what the claim is.
Alex Jones sold out to Elon Musk, but didn't receive anything and hasn't changed his coverage and has had the same position forever.
Maybe I'll just paint it this way.
Because, yeah, I mean, this is, like, ubiquitous.
And this isn't even for people that watch, because people that watch are just, like, they know that all of this is nonsense.
But, I don't know, maybe we'll have to post this to Twitter or something.
But, like, just imagine that, like, there's this fantasy world.
This Lord of the Rings, Middle-Earth-style world.
And you have the forces of Mordor take over Gondor, right?
You've got some outside foreign force conquers a nation.
And the nation is just totally conquered.
All of their government is occupied by these foreign people with foreign interests.
But you've got this one rebel guerrilla group that for decades is just fighting these little skirmish battles.
Doing everything they can to just remind people, hey, we're under occupation here.
We should be fighting against this.
And they can't get, they don't get any major victories, but just constantly have this sort of ragtag group of rebels in the forest fighting this long, extended guerrilla war with little to no public acclaim.
And then one day, this army shows up, this massive army.
And instead of coming in and just trying to conquer the...
The country for themselves, they actually point to the rebel group and go, no, we're on their side, actually.
We're here as a force multiplier for them, and together we're going to take our country back.
And that would be like Donald Trump's election victory, right?
That would be Alex Jones for 25 years fighting in the wilderness, no public acclaim, no political victories to hang your hat on.
But you're right, and you're just fighting with all your heart because you know that...
It's your country, after all.
Very little success.
I mean, there's this hardcore group of fans that's very supportive and loyal and massive victories in the information war.
But in terms of political success and political domination, it didn't really happen until Donald Trump showed up, said nationalism, not globalism, will be our credo.
America first.
Make America great again, and we need to quit all of this.
Crap that we're going through.
All the stuff that Alex Jones has talked about forever.
And so we have this massive victory because the occupying force thought they just had to deal with these ragtag rebels.
They weren't ready for and didn't expect this massive army out of nowhere by this industrial titan who organized a militia, purchased a bunch of mercenaries, and took on the establishment.
And so they suffer a major defeat, but then they reorganize.
They reestablish their supply lines and they counterattack.
And our forces are beaten back again.
And there's this big battle that will sort of determine whether this insurrection succeeds or not.
And it's almost like a Helm's Deep.
To go back to the Lord of the Rings idea, there's almost this Helm's Deep style scene where we're in the fight for our lives.
It's really not looking good.
You know, it's fairly even matched.
Victory is hanging in the balance, and then sort of over the crest of the hill rides this whole new, fresh, and incredibly powerful force, even more powerful than the combined might of the Trump army and the Alex Jones army, and that's Elon Musk.
And he swoops in, sweeps in.
And, you know, clears the battlefield and we achieve victory.
And that's the 2024 election.
And so then, you know, after the victory, it's like suddenly there's dissension in the ranks.
And it's like suddenly people are going, well, no, now it's time to fight that army.
Now we need to fight Elon Musk's army.
He's actually the bad guy.
And it's like, but he just swept in and helped us.
Helped us to achieve incredible victory.
We might not completely align 100%.
We don't want to turn over what we've fought for 30 years to this dude that just showed up.
But without him, the battle would have been lost and that would have been it.
We'd have President Kamala Harris right now, folks.
Think about that.
Red dye wouldn't have been taken out of the diet.
Fluoride would still be in the water.
Hamas and Israel wouldn't be talking about a ceasefire right now.
Already so many things have changed.
And he's not even in office yet.
This is a major victory.
And it's just like, but you want us to then turn on the group that swept in and helped us with the incredibly powerful force.
This incredible force multiplier in the information war.
Elon Musk opening up X. The money to Donald Trump, the organization he provided to Donald Trump.
The communication possibilities have been opened up because X can now have everybody on it and verified so our networks can communicate just tangible, literal benefits to us.
Does that mean that he's in charge?
Does that mean that we owe him everything?
Does that mean that he's the one that we listen to now?
No, but he is the general of an incredibly powerful force that has helped us to achieve victory and is on our side.
So why fight him?
The goal is to win our country back.
The goal is to achieve victory against the occupiers that are sitting in the halls of power and still destroying our country from the inside out.
And Elon Musk has been a crucial part of the victory we've already achieved and is going to be necessary into the future to achieve more victory.
But our camp now wants to turn and fight the people that just pulled our ass out of the fire.
What Biden said last night is we're moving toward an oligarchy.
I'm asking you that question.
Do you think, forget how they made their money, do you think that when so few people have so much wealth and so much economic and political power that that is an oligarchic form of society?
unidentified
Well, I would note that President Biden gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to two people who I think would qualify for his oligarchs.
Oh man, we need the clip that goes longer than that.
See if you guys can find the clip where it's extended because Sanders immediately interrupts him and just desperately scrambles to try to reframe the way that he questions and he goes back and forth.
See if you can find the longer version of that because I do want to show Bernie Sanders freaking out.
But again, I don't need...
Just, you can just look into it yourself.
I mean, the idea, the idea that the Democrats are talking about an oligarchy, I guess it's typical.
I guess this is how it goes, but you have all of the billionaires minus one.
Minus one, maybe two.
I don't know.
Either they're in Trump's cabinet.
Like, they're actually one of Trump's appointees for something as a billionaire, Mark Anderson or Vivek or Elon Musk.
Like, those are the billionaires on our side.
Every other one is a Democrat supporter, so just like, what are they talking about?
If we have the longer clip, let's go to that now, because you gotta feel my frustration.
We gotta share this frustration of hearing Bernie Sanders desperately try to get the answer that he wants.
What Biden said last night is we're moving toward an oligarchy.
I'm asking you that question.
Do you think, forget how they made their money, do you think that when so few people have so much wealth and so much economic and political power that that is an oligarchic form of society?
unidentified
Well, I would note that President Biden gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to two people who I think would qualify for his oligarchs.
When you have a small number of multi-billionaires who have enormous economic, media, and political power.
Would you agree with President Biden, who last night stated, and I quote, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power, and influence that threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights, and freedoms?
I understand that, but what I'm asking you is when you have a handful of people like Musk, who will soon be part of the Trump administration and others, when you have three people owning more wealth than the bottom half of American society, when these people have enormous influence over the media, when they spend huge amounts of money in both political parties to elect candidates.
What Biden said last night is we're moving toward an oligarchy.
I'm asking you that question.
Do you think, forget how they made their money, do you think that when so few people have so much wealth and so much economic and political power that that is an oligarchic form of society?
unidentified
Well, I would note that President Biden gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to two people who I think would qualify for his oligarchs.
I mean, his worldview is just so inconsistent and baffling.
Does he know what an oligarchy is?
Oligarchy would mean that the people with the money have political power exclusively.
It doesn't just mean that rich people exist or have influence or sway or can participate in the political process.
It's been like...
Things are decided by them and them exclusively for their own benefit.
We clearly don't live in an oligarchy because the government often does things that are against the interests of the wealthy.
That wouldn't happen in an oligarchical society.
But he wants to use the word oligarchy, this word that defines a form of government, to just mean billionaires bad.
And then when the guy's like, okay, but you have more billionaires and you are celebrating billionaires, you're giving the Medal of Freedom to billionaires, he's like, oh, it's not about the billionaires.
It's like, well, of course it is.
That's what you're talking about.
So it's just utterly inconsistent.
It's like they think oligarchy is just the existence of billionaires, but when you point out that they have more billionaires on their side, they're like, it's not about the existence of billionaires.
It's just like, so what is the issue here?
What is the issue exactly?
And I would have actually liked to hear Scott...
Besson's response.
It seemed to be ramping up.
It seemed to be somewhat interesting.
He's listing out the billionaires that are on Trump's team.
He's like, yeah, all these guys started from nothing and built their own wealth by providing services that people wanted in a purely capitalistic sense.
None of these guys just inherited billions of dollars, unlike Alexander Soros, who's receiving the Medal of Freedom on behalf of his father, despite having never provided anybody anything.
That anyone wanted.
Just pure nepotism and intergenerational wealth that was robbed from places like Britain when they crashed the pound.
Manipulate the market.
Impoverish everybody there and run away with the winnings.
I mean, you want to talk about oligarchy.
And of course, I mean, the numbers just don't add up, okay?
From Bloomberg, Biden's $466 million bankroll tops Trump by $141 million.
This was back when Biden was still the nominee before he was ousted undemocratically by the higher-ups in his party.
You know, like an oligarchy.
You know, like unelected wealthy people that run your system, that simply chose your nominee, not giving the people.
In your party, a choice or even an opportunity to vote?
Yeah, this was before that happened.
This was before Biden was ousted against his own will and against the will of the people in the Democratic Party.
And then Kamala Harris was appointed by the wealthy influencers in your organization.
So you're railing against oligarchy.
Right.
Right, of course.
President Trump has more small donors under 200 than Biden.
Most of Biden's money came from billionaires.
134 billionaires support Biden.
Democrats take far more money from billionaires than Republicans.
Facts matter.
These facts are from Forbes magazine.
Six dim supporting billionaires Biden didn't mention while calling out political oligarchy.
George Soros, Reid Hoffman, Howard Schultz, Michael Bloomberg, and Tom Sayer have all supported President Biden.
Very anti-Semitic headline there.
The U.S. is a corrupt oligarchy.
The richest 100, it got $1.5 trillion wealthier under Biden.
Richest 100 Americans got $1.5 trillion wealthier under Biden.
And of course, that's not even including the something like $4 trillion of wealth transfer from the lowest percentage to the top 1% that occurred because of the lockdowns and corporate consolidation during COVID. So all of these things tend to massively enrich the people at the top, massively impoverish the people at the bottom, and are supported and facilitated and carried out entirely by the democratic wing of our government and media.
From Forbes, Biden, now up to 106 billionaire donors, Trump has 93. This was back in the 2020 election, so it's not really anything new.
It's not really anything...
Particularly new.
Then we have, of course, this image of Google and Microsoft and Amazon and the U.S. government and Wells Fargo and just everybody.
Everybody other than the U.S. Marines, the New York Police Department, and the U.S. military voting entirely for Biden.
So, I mean, the entire corporate world exists on the Democratic side.
Did Joseph R. Biden, the top recipient of dark money support in the history of American politics, just call to get rid of dark money in politics?
Grok confirms Joe Biden received $174 million in anonymous contributions, making him the top recipient of dark money support in American political history.
And that doesn't even count the one-plus billion dollars groups like Arabella spent for Dems in 2020 alone.
The groups in the network, which also include Hopewell Fund, the New Venture Fund, North Fund, and Wind Fund.
Winward Fund were administered by a for-profit consulting firm called Arabella Advisors.
Taken together, the Arabella Network spent a total of nearly $1.2 billion in 2020, including paying Arabella's a combined $46.6 million in 2020 in management fees, according to the fund's tax filings.
We don't even get an accurate read of this, but talk about all these other foundations that are sponsored by...
A foundation backed by Soros disclosed gifts of $17 million to $16.30 and $5 million to Hopewell.
So it's like, not only is he getting direct funding from billionaires, the billionaires have this entire network of NGOs that are all just operating as money laundry machines.
Pour money into it, then the organization gives money to the candidate or runs ads on behalf of the candidate, the super PAC system, where they can spend infinite amounts of money.
But then on top of that, you've got things like ActBlue.
That takes donations from millionaires and billionaires and then parcels them up into $10, $20 increments and says that they've been donated by some retired person in Oklahoma who they claim has given $100,000 by donating 15 times a day for the last two years.
And then you go and knock on that person's door and they're like, I gave to ActBlue once 15 years ago but haven't given them anything recently.
So they take these massive donations from millionaires and billionaires and then launder it through ActBlue to act like they're small time donations from from average people.
So there's like a variety of different ways that the Democrats conceal the support they get from the oligarchs they claim to fight the billionaires and millionaires that they pretend to stand up against.
And even with all of that deception, even with all of that, you know, underhand underhanded behavior secretly, you know, parsing out the funds from billionaires to individual donors to make it look like a grassroots movement that they're running.
Even with all of that, they still have significantly more billionaire donors.
Even with all of those little tricks, they still have massively more wealthy donors than the right wing has.
So, maybe that's why Bernie Sanders was interrupting.
Maybe that's what he didn't want to actually be addressed.
The legitimate concerns about a real oligarchy in this country that is entirely, completely, pathologically leftist.
Okay?
Anyway, it just goes on and on.
And I shouldn't even have to tell you, it's all imminently observable all the time, but apparently Bernie Sanders is relying on your ignorance to make these claims.
Clip number 18 is Scott Besant talking to Ron Wyden, and I don't even know what this clip says.
I just want you to look at Ron Wyden's face.
I know...
That the left and the right, you know, both have our fair share of freaky looking weirdos, okay?
But the left wing is massively overrepresented in the freaky looking weirdo demographic.
Some democratic politicians are so freaky looking.
I can't help, in my conspiratorial mind, I can't help but think that this is some form of psychological warfare.
Like demoralization, where you see these guys and you're like, how can we be ruled by people like this?
What is this even?
You're Maxine Waterses.
You're Ron Wyden.
You're Adam Schiffes.
These people look like bad caricatures of already ugly people.
And there's something very disturbing about this.
So we're going to go to this clip of Ron Wyden.
Again, there's something about the pasty, splotchy complexion, the doll-like eyes, the bizarre cadence of his voice.
There's something wrong with the Democrats.
And you can see it on their faces.
Let's go to clip 18. I guess this is Scott Besson making Ron Wyden look completely useless.
I don't know, though, because whenever I see Ron Wyden's face...
My ears stop working.
I just start hearing a high-pitched ringing that gets louder and louder, like a demon from hell is approaching.
So I can't actually hear whenever he talks.
It's just like the sound of screaming far away.
You know what I mean?
You know what I mean?
When you look at certain people, you just feel like your soul is being threatened.
Let's watch Ron Wyden, and I apologize for showing you his face.
unidentified
The more you reduce carbon, the bigger your tax savings.
Now there is a big effort in the Trump administration to reverse it.
I think that's going to be bad for the economy, but it is going to be damn good for China, because we are in an arms race on clean energy with them.
Are you going to be on the side of people who want to unravel this?
I probably shouldn't have been talking during that.
It's just there's something metaphysical that we're fighting here.
I guess the point I'm trying to make is that you can judge a book by its cover.
Scott Besson was actually making a great point there.
He says that we're not in a clean energy race with China.
We're in an energy race with China.
And I mean, Ron Wyden is trying to make the argument that China is outpacing us in clean energy.
And Scott Besson is like, they're building 100 coal power plants a month.
Like, what the hell are you talking about?
So good.
Good to have somebody who's actually aware of the just patent absurdity baked into the Democrat worldview.
Just utterly disconnected from reality.
Not just wrong, but the inversion of truth.
The sheer 180 degree inversion of reality.
Saying that China is beating us with clean energy when in reality...
They're doing the exact opposite.
Totally crazy. .
I have some other clips in there, but I want to move on now to some other stories.
And I want to maybe take a bit of a wider view here in terms of what's actually happening in the world right now.
I really don't know how to get into this or how to lay it out.
Basically what's happened is that there's an alternative to TikTok called Red Note, which of course is a play on Mao's Red Book.
And TikTok, as we know it, it's a Chinese company, but it's got an American subsidiary and the TikTok that we see is the American TikTok.
And is largely free from, you know, the algorithmic censorship that China does for its own people.
And you can argue whether that's a good thing or not.
You know, it might be beneficial to have TikTok feeding kids videos of science experiments rather than twerking.
That would definitely be good.
But do you want to open the door to the government deciding what's good or bad for your children, especially considering that our government would actually ban science videos and would force TikTok into your feed?
So, you know, we don't want our government having those types of controls anyway.
Maybe if we had a government like China that actually at least seemingly seemed to care about its people.
Again, I think a lot of this is propaganda anyway.
I'll show you the videos probably on the other side.
Whereas people, because now Red Note, this new TikTok alternative, now that TikTok is apparently going to be banned on Sunday.
It's not like an American version of a Chinese app.
It's just a Chinese app.
So now people are going on there and they're like meeting Chinese people and talking to Chinese people.
And the Chinese people are telling them how great their lives are and how amazing communism is.
And you've got all these Americans sort of flipping out about that.
See, it's like almost impossible to talk about because it's like, okay.
I was going to say, you know, so their plan about TikTok backfired.
They're like, oh, there's too much Chinese influence on TikTok.
Let's ban it.
And then there's this other app that has way more Chinese influence that everybody's migrating to.
So it's like, oh, well, that backfired hugely.
But then all that's predicated on a false premise anyway because TikTok was never banned because of its Chinese influence.
It was banned because of the anti-Israel content on it.
So this is the thing.
If you don't actually know why these things are happening, you're going to be...
You know, doing analysis that just gets off on the wrong foot and is wrong from the very beginning.
Wrong from the get-go.
But I'm sort of torn because, you know, obviously this is the plan.
The plan is to make life in America so miserable, to increase suffering so much that people are desperate for just anything they think is different and...
Potentially better.
Like, they don't even care if, like, well, when this was implemented in the past, it killed 100 million people.
They're like, yeah, but our system sucks, so we need to try something, and this is the only thing we can think of.
So then they try to implement communism or socialism.
Which is why it's so important for them that they destroy American history, because the fact is that American history is the answer.
I mean, the American system, as it used to be...
is the solution to all the problems that we're facing now.
It's not that the American system was broken from the beginning.
It's that it's been subverted and undermined and largely destroyed and now is walking around as a zombified shell version of itself.
If we get back to the basics, the American system is the one that pulls people up from poverty, that provides for everybody, that gives everybody an equal chance, that, you know, it doesn't matter where you start from, you can be in charge one day.
Got a lot of videos to show you I'm going to open up the phone lines for your calls at this hour.
In the third hour, we'll be joined by IMA. We actually did a prerecorded video yesterday since she's all the way in Australia.
We did an evening time recording.
It was the morning for her.
And I had a lot of fun.
I think you will enjoy it.
She, of course, is the artist behind Carmageddon who got fired by her or split with her management because they wanted her to change the lyrics and she refused and that has been a choice that has led to massive success.
So it's very fun to talk to her about that whole process and what she's going through and advice for young conservative artists out there, although I don't even know if I'd say conservative, just anti-establishment.
We're going to talk about the problems in America.
We're going to talk about the economic problems.
We're going to talk about the demographic problems.
We're going to talk about the morality problem, the morale problem.
I think it all is sort of summed up in this clip.
When I saw this clip on X, something broke in my brain.
And I don't even know how to set this up for you.
Clip number 13. This is the governor of New York's state of the state address.
You know, Biden has the State of the Union where he talks about just the overall condition of America.
It's a very big deal.
States do the same thing.
Governor will come out and give the state of the state address.
This is the New York state of the state address in 2025. Clip 13. Just fair warning.
I can't even explain what you're about to see.
This is the State of the State address, the official address from the governor of New York.
Here it is.
For our radio listeners, how do I even explain this?
It's a bunch of old people in black suits.
Vaguely choreographed dancing, mostly just incoherent flailing.
The label on it says, New York Governor Hochul's State of the State.
That's what this is, I guess.
Okay?
We got a young black lesbian who's really into it.
What are we watching here?
What is this?
What could this possibly mean?
Why is this going on?
Who are these people?
Why are they wearing black suits?
Why do all the women look like they're about to die?
I mean, what is this song?
The state of the state address from the governor of New York.
It's like a bad SNL skit.
It's like a cutaway from 30 Rock.
I don't know what we're seeing.
I don't know what this is.
I don't know if this is supposed to be impressive.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I couldn't tell you.
I am just utterly baffled at this point as to what it is we're watching, why it's going on, who's determined this, who this group of people is, why they're not even remotely in tune with one another.
They're all just on different dance moves at different times.
I don't know.
I don't know.
It's just...
It's just a very diverse group of weirdos in ill-fitting black suits flailing their limbs around in some semblance of concert.
I don't...
You know, I can understand if you're going to have something.
You're showing off your state.
You're going to want to have the best in the state to show your cultural importance.
Maybe you want to have...
A high school team to come up to be like, you know, look how cool and good our kids are.
But I don't know what this is.
I just feel like every morning I wake up and this type of thing assaults my eyes.
By the way, quickly, another arson suspect was arrested in California as wildfires spread.
California State Parks announced Friday the arrest of Gloria Lynn Bandich, 60, in connection with a brush fire that ignited near Leo Corrillo State Park in Los Angeles County.
The arrest comes as California continues to battle multiple destructive wildfires fueled by strong Santa Ana winds and dry conditions.
Thousands of acres have burned, prompting evacuation orders and widespread damage.
The fires have already resulted in at least 10 confirmed deaths and destroyed more than 10,000 structures across the region.
They're still investigating the origin of these fires, but all the...
Fires with origins determined so far have been arson.
Mandich was booked into Ventura County Jail on a felony charge of arson under California Penal Code 451D. That's kind of clever, isn't it?
The charge of arson is 451. Very cute.
It's scheduled to appear in Ventura County Superior Court.
Authorities say the fire, which started on January 8th, was quickly extinguished by the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
Mandich's arrest is the second since the fires began.
Earlier this week, law enforcement detained a man near the Kenneth Fire in Woodland Hills on suspicion of arson.
However, following further investigation, Los Angeles Police Department officials determined there was insufficient probable cause to charge him with arson.
Yeah, he was just running away from the breakout of the fire with a blowtorch.
But don't read into it or anything.
Crazy.
Now, the interesting thing about this woman, I don't know if it's mentioned in this article, but she is a climate change activist.
Gloria Lynn Mandich.
You know, one of those environmentalists that's just starting fires to help out, I guess.
60-year-old Kentucky woman charged with arson for allegedly setting brush fire near L.A. wildfires.
And yeah, she's a climate change activist.
That's what I'm thinking.
I think if the climate change activist really wanted to be clever, They would go to the DMV, they'd go to their statehouse or wherever, and they would change their name to climate change before they started the fires.
That way they'd give the media a chance to, you know, with no obfuscation, say these fires were the fault of climate change.
These fires were started by climate change.
They just don't tell you that climate change is the name of an arsonist hobo Antifa member who set all of the fires.
That's our good friend climate change.
He sets fires in the woods.
Then you could call it, then you could say the fires were started by climate change.
Okay?
I'm just giving advice, giving advice to my enemies here.
If you want to start a fire to make people aware of the dangers of climate change, you should change your name to climate change so that they can say it was climate change that started the fire.
And, you know, it is one of those things, again, I've told this story a million times, It's weird how often it happens that the people that are genuinely concerned about something get so mad that you don't care about the thing that they're going to make the thing happen to prove themselves right.
Like I remember talking about false flags with a friend of mine who, full disclosure, is Israeli.
And he actually made the argument like, well, you know, if people don't realize the danger that terrorism presents, you know, maybe you need to show them.
Like, they don't think there's any threat.
Well, maybe, you know, if you let a big attack happen, you can point to it and go, see, we told you this was a big threat.
You didn't believe us.
Well, now look.
And it's like, but you're the one that did it.
Like, literally, there's something crazy about this.
But it...
It sort of spans all these topics where you've got somebody that's like really concerned about climate change.
They try to get us to be concerned and we're just like, nah, it's fake.
We don't care.
They get so mad.
They're like, we'll see.
They don't think there's a risk of fire.
We'll show them fire.
And then they go start a fire.
And then they point to it and go, see, I was right.
It's climate change.
But like you started the fire.
So what are you proving?
It's weird, but this actually happens quite a bit in a lot of different ways.
Oh, you don't think that these people are a threat?
Well, you don't think Trump supporters are insurrections?
You don't think they're violent?
Well, we, the FBI, will coordinate a kidnapping scheme against Gretchen Whitmer, and we'll get MAGA people to go along with it.
See?
See what a big threat they are?
No, you did that.
False flag climate change attacks.
So, again, I want to play these videos, but I... The timeline of this is so funny to me.
In like 2018 or something, there was discussion about banning TikTok because of the negative influence it had and because of the fact that it was Chinese and it was giving the Chinese government direct access to the phones of Americans.
And it went nowhere, completely died on the vine, never made it through the committee.
It was just talked about a little bit, but never any serious action to move it forward despite the...
The desire of a lot of people didn't go anywhere.
It wasn't possible.
That's outrageous.
We have the First Amendment.
It's an American corporation.
They get to change whatever they want.
People don't want to use TikTok.
They don't have to use TikTok.
There's nothing we can do to stop it.
Sorry, our hands are tied.
Then October 7th happened.
Then people started posting videos from Gaza on TikTok.
And then they decided they needed to stop that.
Then you had things like Nikki Haley going on the presidential debate stage and saying, every 15 minutes, Somebody spends on TikTok, they become 17% more anti-Semitic.
And she actually said that, and people actually took it seriously, which in and of itself is very depressing.
That they had an actual percentage amount that your anti-Semitism increased, spending 15 minutes on an app, which most of the time I've ever been on it.
I'm seeing, like, extreme sports.
I'm seeing, like, check out this guy skydiving down a mountain.
But that's okay.
You know, you watch a guy skydiving down a mountain, suddenly you're reading about Magnus Hirschfeld.
It's a bizarre phenomenon, I guess.
But now, then, you know, Israel wanted TikTok banned.
So in, like, a week, they had the entire bill not just written but passed through the committees on the floor for a vote, and it was approved.
So, well done, Israel.
You can't actually just say that outright.
Clearly, that's what's actually happening.
And when you read between the lines, it's obvious what the impetus of this was.
But in order to divert blame from this away from Israel towards China and Trump, I guess, it was said, oh, it was the Chinese influence that we're trying to shut down.
And so now we're getting close to the...
You know, scheduled shutdown of TikTok.
And TikTok could have been sold to an American company.
They decided, no, we'll just shut it down.
We don't want to be sold to an American company so they can, you know, have even more.
And it's like these American companies, like they're less American than the Chinese ones.
So it's all crazy anyway.
But it gets shut down under claims of, you know, they want to avoid Chinese influence and avoid Chinese indoctrination of our people.
Not that that was going on anyway.
So then all the TikTokers, pissed off at this, find an alternative TikTok.
It's called Red Note, which is named after Mao's Red Book, which is not an American version of a Chinese app, but it's just a straight-up Chinese app.
People are, I guess, communicating on this, talking to Chinese people, seeing videos from China, and are deciding that America sucks now.
So it's like massively...
It backfired if, in fact, the point of banning TikTok was to ban the Chinese influence, which it wasn't, but taking that as an assumption, then this just utterly backfired.
It's backfired in a whole bunch of different ways.
And the people that are making videos about this and talking about the realizations they're having are not wrong from the outset.
Their conclusions are wrong, and I can't help but think that's all part of the cloward...
The deconstructionist, you know, rules for radicals kind of agenda where they want people giving up on America.
The whole point of all of this, of all the chaos, of all of the misery, of all of the nonsense that we're being put through is to convince people that the American system is failed and wrong and bad and corrupted and evil and that the only alternative solution is socialism and communism and one world government.
So that's what all of this is actually psychologically programming people to follow.
Now apparently the Supreme Court has upheld the TikTok ban, setting the stage for the shutdown, but the Biden administration said they're not going to shut it down.
They're going to leave it up to the Trump administration, and Trump is not in favor of the TikTok ban.
Although Trump could choose not to enforce the law, it's unclear whether third-party Internet service providers will trust that they won't face any consequences for failing to comply.
Under the terms of the law, third-party Internet services like Apple and Google will be penalized for supporting TikTok after the law's deadline.
Again, I think this whole thing is wrong and bad, and it's just a bunch of problems that are being caused for us because, Well, the Israelis didn't like people talking about him on TikTok.
But I want to go to some of these videos from this Red Note app that's now number one on the app stores that is straight up Chinese.
Clip number three.
I think it's clip number three.
I got two of them here.
Let's go to clip number three here.
This one's posted saying a lot of Americans are starting to ask questions.
Let's watch.
unidentified
Hey, U.S. government, you have some explaining to do.
So I downloaded the Little Red Book, and I made a new bestie.
We were just talking about the differences and similarities between China and the U.S., and she ended up going to the market and sent me a picture of her local market.
I picked what was familiar to me and what I knew, and that was corn on the cob.
I seen that one kilogram, which I found out was 2.2 pounds, was six...
So I went on Google because it's free, right?
And I looked up to see what would that be in US dollars?
I mean, all this stuff is kind of difficult to talk about because he does the conversion from yen to dollars, but that's like a little bit dishonest.
In 2023, the average income in China was 33,000 Chinese yen, which is equal to 4,500 United States dollars.
I get that corn might be 25 cents there, where it's a dollar here, but our average income is something like $30,000 or $40,000.
The Chinese average income is one-tenth of that.
So it's not exactly one-to-one.
In addition to that, most of what you see out of China is propaganda and controlled.
There are cities in China that are absolutely massive, like unbelievably massive.
I mean, Wuhan is one of them, right?
Who even heard of Wuhan before the Wuhan virus came out of there?
It's got like a billion people in that city.
I mean, it's crazy.
Cities are miserable.
I don't know if you've ever seen the inside of a Chinese apartment, but if you're in America, you know, walk to your closest bedroom and look in the closet and that's about, you know, and then imagine living in it.
Then imagine having a kitchen and a bathroom in there too.
China's not great.
It's achieved a lot in the last 30 years, but that's strictly out of American companies outsourcing their manufacturing there and massively building up China on purpose using American money.
Just look at where China was in 1990. It was like 95% of their population was still...
Like peasants and poverty.
So, I mean, they've gained a lot in the last 30 years.
And there are cities that are very flashy and fancy and look very nice in China.
And I'm sure there are parts of China that are nice.
But it's also a slave state where you have to scan your face to get on a train.
And if they don't like your ideas, then they'll put you on the slow train or maybe not even sell you a ticket.
And there are still millions upon millions of Chinese peasants.
Who live in absolute destitution and misery.
So, again, you've got to have some perspective on this.
You can't just take the price of corn and run it through a currency converter and say, oh my god, America has failed.
These are not the things we're supposed to judge civilizations on.
But it does get deeper, and there are legitimate concerns being expressed in this form.
Let's go to clip number 17 now.
Red Note seems to have opened some people's eyes to the fact that U.S. citizens are treated like corporate livestock.
Again, the problem this woman is identifying is very real and has to be empathized with.
And this is a problem conservatives have in general.
We'll talk about it on the other side.
But you can see how this misery that this woman is expressing that you'll see in just a second is clearly being weaponized.
Against the United States itself in order to try to drive people towards communism or socialism and through the red note they're being presented this false view of China in order to denigrate and demoralize America.
So let's go to the clip and again her concerns are very real and they have to be confronted by America if we want to continue to exist.
The last thing we should do Is go to socialism and communism, but we'll explain the reality on the other side.
Let's go to clip 17 now.

Stay for this.
Because I've reached the part in this whole class consciousness part.
Like, what do you mean in other countries they don't have to spend 20% of their paycheck on groceries?
What do you mean in other countries everyone can own homes?
Because they're not paying $2,000 a month in rent.
Or that their mortgages aren't like their entire paycheck.
What do you mean?
That people in China work one job and they don't even work 40 hours?
And they can easily afford their life?
And then I'm over here working 60 hours a week?
Just me as a single payer?
Barely make ends meet and I'm penny pinching every single second and like there's so much of life that my kid misses out on and that I miss out on because of money and like work and no social support net and you mean to tell me that it didn't have to be like this?
They keep us in these chains on purpose and it never had to be like this like I did everything right.
I went to college.
I had to drop out of college to take care of my mom when she was sick because, again, no social services, like, no safety.
My dad worked his whole life and died and left everything to my mom.
My mom was disabled, and she lived on credit, and, like, she barely made ends meet, and she did everything she was supposed to.
And I did everything I was supposed to.
And it just keeps getting worse.
It was never supposed to be like this.
And I'm so angry that it is.
Because what do you mean?
I've spent so much of my life working so hard to scrape by.
And it never had to be like that.
My suffering was at the expense of someone else becoming wealthy because they could.
And I am so angry about this.
It can't stay like this.
It doesn't have to stay like this.
All right, so where do you even begin with this woman?
First of all, this is what communist and socialist indoctrination does to you.
You can tell from the first moment of the video.
She's like, as I've gone down this path of awareness of class consciousness, it's like, okay.
So you've been brainwashed by the communists, and now you're sad and miserable and hopeless, okay?
That should be your first clue as to whether this path is healthy or not.
She talks about impotent, white-hot rage.
She wants to just bite something, and it's like, okay.
So you're not thinking logically.
You're not calmly, like, actually thinking about this.
You're literally admitting that, like, you're just reacting savagely to things that you don't understand.
Like an animal.
Okay.
Not the best way to actually consider, you know, the political outlook.
But the people that put you in this state know that, which is why you've been put in this state.
She says it never had to be this way.
And again, she's right.
She's right in general.
Like, you can't discount the way people are feeling.
And a lot of people are feeling this way.
And this is something that we talked a lot about.
It sort of slowed down, but for a while there was this trend of, like, young women in their cars just, like, literally weeping, being like, I'm never going to get married.
I can't have friends.
I don't have time to do anything.
I can't afford the place I'm living.
And, you know, the conservative response is just, like, laugh at these people or, you know, there's a big debate on X right now about, like...
Young men feel hopeless and feel like nothing is worth it and they're never going to get ahead and they're never going to be in charge and they're never going to get out of debt.
And there's a lot that's just like, pick yourself up by your bootstraps.
It's not so bad, kid.
And it's like, no, you entered the workforce 40 years ago.
You have no idea what it's like.
Now you have to have empathy for the young people that are suffering like this because they're going to vote.
They're going to be in charge.
And right now, the only people offering them a solution.
Are communists that want to rob and exploit and enslave them.
So you have to give them another option.
You can't just ignore their pain.
You can't just discredit their life experience.
Because it's real and it's not human and not good.
The question I would want to ask these people that are looking around going to quote her.
It never had to be this way.
Has it always been this way?
If it hasn't always been this way.
How was it before?
And what has changed since then?
Have we gotten more conservative?
Is that why it's worse?
Or is it a direct correlation between the more socialist we get, the worse everything is?
It's like a one-to-one dependent relationship.
It didn't used to be this way.
It used to be that you could work 40 hours doing manual labor and fund a...
Family of six where the wife doesn't work and you both have a car and you live in your own house or the big yard in a safe neighborhood.
None of these things, but not a single aspect of this is possible anymore.
Even to have a house in a safe neighborhood is like you have to be a millionaire at this point.
So things have gone wrong.
They've gone very wrong.
And it's in direct proportion to how far removed we are from the original American experiment and the American, the intentions of the American philosophy.
But right now you've got the American system that worked so well for so long that until like the 80s still was set up to provide people the chance to have comfortable lives with just basic, you know, work and work.
and people would go to work and, you know, feel fulfilled in that way because they knew they were contributing to a, you know, cohesive and positive civilization.
Then it starts to go off the rails.
Then it starts to get manipulated a little bit.
Then it starts to get twisted and the foundations are undermined.
Now we're in this horrible situation where everything is broken and nothing works and everybody's insane.
The communists are the only ones offering a solution.
Again, this topic sort of ties into a lot of stuff going on right now.
I mean, on X, the controversy du jour.
And my God, we've been through a lot.
A lot of controversies.
It's like at this point they're overlapping.
We used to at least get a day or two break between them.
But now the minor point derailing the entire right wing is whether young men should get jobs at fast food places.
Totally crazy.
But it breaks down into whether or not you have empathy and concern for the lives of young people who are entering the workforce in a very different condition than the boomers did or Gen X did.
And it's strange how these Gen Xers are morphing into boomers before our very eyes.
And again, you have this woman breaking down.
And I sort of get the impulse to just like not take her seriously because she's being totally hysterical and she's just completely off the mark about everything.
But you have to understand this is how a lot of people feel.
And the...
Reality of what she's talking about, having to work 60 hours a week, not having time for anything, feeling like you're missing out on your kids' lives because you're working all the time, having to drop out of college, take care of your mom because she's sick and you can't afford health insurance.
All these are legitimate problems that should be addressed by the government.
If this woman was your sister, would you disregard what she's saying?
Would you mock her or laugh at her?
Let's call her a communist.
These are real concerns and we have to have care for these people and for the young men that have been discriminated against and despised by their own country for their entire lives.
And the solution to this is America.
It's the way America used to be.
We have to let people know that all these problems that you're talking about are not part and parcel with The American governmental system or capitalism, these are distortions and perversions of these things, and it's happened over time as these things have been watered down and deliberately destroyed for a variety of different reasons.
But again, the psychological play here is to cause mass suffering and then act like you need more of what you're offering, even though what you're offering is the thing causing the mass suffering and people can't see through this apparently.
I mean, there's a million different ways that this manifests itself, but just again going through what this woman was saying.
You know, clearly from the outset, she's talking about class consciousness.
That's a total communist psyop, which means that she started this video already sort of primed.
To be receptive to the communist indoctrination.
But again, if you're not addressing these concerns, and communists are, don't be surprised when people become communists.
If somebody says, I've worked my ass off, I've done everything I'm supposed to do, I got good grades in college, and now I can't get a job.
If you just look at them and go, well, get a job at a fast food place, bucko.
And the communists are there going, Actually, it's because you're being kept down and we're going to revolt and the world will be yours.
Who do you think they're going to go with?
This is just human nature.
The correct response to this is we need to get back to how it was.
We need to get back to the 1950s.
We need to make America great again.
We need to undo all of this government intervention that has made everything terrible.
And, you know, coincidentally enough, in an act of serendipity, this headline dropped today.
She's sitting there going, my mom, you know, got sick and I had to drop out of college because we don't have any social services.
Meanwhile, headline from today, 15,500 people died waiting for health care in Canada.
5,500 Canadians died because their social health system just didn't have time for them.
Just couldn't get to them in time to save them.
Canada's socialized healthcare culture of death, 15,000 plus die awaiting care, 15,000 plus euthanized.
Again, from BBC, assisted dying now accounts for 1 in 20 Canadian deaths.
One out of every 20 people who died in Canada died at the hands of a doctor administering poison to their IV. Why can't we be more like Canada?
It's like, I don't know, because I don't want to die sitting in a waiting room while 10,000 Indians get priority.
By the way, do you know that in the UK, their National Health Service...
Totally collapsing, just astronomically expensive, unimaginable how much money they pour into the NHS. And it was recently uncovered they had secret instructions to the NHS to give priority to non-UK citizens.
So the people actually funding this to the tune of billions of dollars like a month were put at the back of the line as anybody from Eritrea got to jump right to the front and take advantage of the services that they never paid into and will never have to pay for.
This is an illusion.
The socialist, communist solution is a lie, but it's the only lie being offered.
It's like people who live in a place that used to be a garden, and then for decade upon decade of mismanagement, the garden has slowly died.
There's nothing but inert dirt and sand, and these people are starving.
They're dying of thirst.
And the people who are in charge of managing the garden are going, well, maybe you need to just learn not to drink.
Maybe, you know, you're thirsty because you're dumb and you should just work harder.
Then maybe you'll get water.
Meanwhile, there are people like just on the other side of the fence with a beautiful cold glass of ice water, but it's got poison in it.
But they're going to drink it.
They're going to go drink that water because he's the only one offering them.
You're sitting there telling them to enjoy their desert.
Because that water is bad.
But it's water.
They're going to go for the water.
So you got to give them water.
You got to offer them something.
People are in pain.
They're desperate.
They see everything sucks.
They want a solution.
They want to be proud of their country.
They want to participate.
But you're not offering them anything.
The communists are.
It's poison.
It's water.
But it's got some arsenic in it.
But they're so thirsty.
They're going to drink anyway.
So you got to offer them something.
The thing is that America is the solution.
It always has been.
I've often pointed to this book about Italy in the 1930s.
It's actually a prequel to The Godfather by Mario Puzo.
Sort of a Robin Hood-esque character.
And a lot of the book talks about the political conflicts in Italy that, of course, eventually led to the rise of fascism in Benito Mussolini.
This was all an anti-communist revolution.
But the main character in this book is going, there's all these peasants in Italy.
And of course, you know, Europe always had these sort of stratified populations where people who are rich stayed rich and their kids were rich and the people who are poor stayed poor and their kids would be poor.
And that's just kind of how it was.
And the people of Europe were looking around going, we're sick of this.
We don't want to be peasants forever.
We don't deserve this and you don't deserve what you have.
What's going on here?
We got to have something else.
And the main character is going, I understand why people are going to the communists because they're the only ones offering a solution to this problem.
That the people don't own anything and they can't ever own anything and their children won't ever own anything?
That's intolerable.
They're going to try to fight back against that and here come the communists to tell them we have the solution.
And then the main character says they're the only ones offering the solution except for America.
Because America also has a solution to this problem.
It's called capitalism.
It's called an unstratified, an undivided populace.
Where you come to America, and it doesn't matter who you are.
It doesn't matter where you come from.
It doesn't matter how rich you were when you started off.
If you work hard, you're going to succeed.
And if you work exceptionally hard or have exceptionally good ideas, you're going to succeed to an exceptional level.
That's the alternative to communism.
It's America.
And it's not capitalism per se.
Capitalism is just a natural outcome of freedom.
Because if you just let people...
Being in a state of nature, pretty much, they're going to share some things, they're going to collaborate on some things, but mostly they're going to exchange goods for services and they're going to establish capital.
It's just a natural consequence of telling people, go do whatever you want.
Go behave in a way that benefits you and your community and people will naturally exchange things and both sides will benefit and everybody does better.
I think what I have is worth this much.
You think what I have is worth more.
We change it.
I get what I want.
You got what you want.
Everybody wins.
This is the solution, actually.
And when it's properly functioning, like in the 50s or the 60s, then you have, yes, classes of people that are millionaires and billionaires and far above the average.
Fine.
But the average is a single income home with two cars and their own yard and they own their home.
And they can retire at 50 and get a house on the lake and enjoy their times.
That is the ideal America.
And it's not like communism where it's like, well, they just didn't try it right.
It's like, here's the meme where it's talking about the Nazis, but it's actually more true about America where you've got all the communists going, you know, that wasn't real communism.
That doesn't count.
You can't include that.
And then it's like, America, it's like it was perfect.
Down to the last letter of every word, it was perfect.
It was beautiful, what we used to have.
And so we want to get back to there.
We don't need a new thing.
We don't need to try something that fails every time it's implemented.
We don't need to go to China.
And this thing, again, you have to be brainwashed to believe this stuff about China.
Have these people never heard of suicide nets?
Are they not aware of the working conditions of China to this day?
I'm just going to say the word again.
Suicide nets in factories so their workers can't kill themselves and take their final escape.
And you don't kill yourself if there's another option available, right?
So she's sitting there going, you know, acting like...
You know, the Chinese workers are treated really well and paid really well, then why are they flinging themselves off the roof so much that they have to build nets to stop it, lady?
Like, what are you talking about?
I mean, you look into that stuff, and again, it's like, you know, just everything has been perverted and destroyed at this point, and most of it started off good, and most of it is necessary.
What these institutions are for and who they serve and why they're implemented.
Like right now, unions are just horrible, right?
They're just totally not fit for purpose.
Most of the time, their collective bargaining is used just to achieve weird political ends.
But then again, you've got the situation in China, the suicide nets, amongst other things.
In one of the Foxconn Manufacturing plants.
The workers were advocating for and sort of agitating for just like basic breaks, you know, just things that we take for granted here in America, but just like, gee, it'd be nice if we could get bathroom breaks and, you know, didn't have to work 12 hours a day and maybe we could eat lunch.
That would be nice.
Like really basic things that they wanted, but they don't have unions.
They don't have collective bargaining.
And so what ended up happening was every single person In the factory, went to the roof of the factory all at once and told the executives, we're all going to kill ourselves if you don't make these concessions.
That's sort of what has to happen if you don't have things in place to facilitate workers' rights and objections like that.
We have that in America.
We actually solved that problem.
We're pretty good at that.
China, on the other hand...
You have an entire company all collectively putting a gun to their head and saying, we're all going to kill ourselves unless you give us vacation.
And it worked.
I mean, they got vacation.
But that's what they had to do.
Life and death in Apple's forbidden city.
Yeah, where iPhones are made.
Because, by the way, the reason all of these conditions exist...
It's largely due to Steve Jobs deliberately creating the yearly cycle of new phones.
I mean, go watch or listen to a podcast about the rise of Apple and Steve Jobs.
These are the people that his wife is now running the Atlantic and she's all about climate change.
Meanwhile, her husband, her late husband Steve Jobs, probably the single person most responsible for...
Environmental destruction the world has ever seen.
More than literally anybody.
I mean, you think about the plastic island in the Pacific.
Of course, just the growth of China, which in and of itself is massively damaging for the ecology because the more manufacturing goes over there, the less pollution.
Restrictions there are on the manufacturing.
So everything gets worse.
But then also, deliberately, because this whole thing was like, we don't want people just to buy a phone from us and then buy another phone 10 years from now.
We need to create this atmosphere and this culture of every year I need a new one.
Meaning every year we need to make a new phone.
Meaning there's a constant stream of manufacturing of billions of phones that the spigot will never turn off.
If you want to point to one thing that has had the most environmental harm, it's probably that concept itself.
What's the word for it?
I always blank on the word.
Like light bulbs.
Designed obsolescence, I think it's called.
Manufactured obsolescence.
Planned obsolescence.
There you go.
That's exactly what Steve Jobs decided was the greatest way to make profit was to have planned obsolescence in all of their machines.
And it's these people that are telling us they're saving the world from climate change by telling you you can't own a car or eat meat anymore.
I mean, all of it is just a giant scam, and people need to realize this.
And again, the greatest question is, if you can recognize that everything's getting worse, can you recognize that things are getting less traditional, less conservative, less freedom, more government intervention in a direct line to how much worse everything is getting?
Have you noticed?
That the greatest examples of income inequality are on display in the most socialist states in America, like California.
Have you noticed any of these things?
Probably not.
But again, whether it's right or left, people who actually genuinely love America are not doing a sufficient job in describing and explaining how The American system is the solution to these problems.
Instead, they choose to discredit the problems, pretend like the problems aren't actually happening, or pretend like you're just whining and spoiled and want everything handed to you.
Well, why not?
Why shouldn't we be able to work a minimum amount and fund our family?
Why should we be worked to death constantly?
And never see any benefits from it.
This is messed up.
We are hugely off course right now.
And we have to make the case that to solve these problems we have to get back to where we were not chart a new path towards communism and socialism because they're the only ones offering solutions or even pretending to be empathetic towards the people that are going through this right now.
And again, this idea that she's like, Chinese people only work 40 hours a week.
It's like, you're talking to a propagandist.
You're going on vacation in a Potemkin village and telling everybody how wonderful communism is.
Please, for the love of God, don't fall for it.
In other Chinese news, Chinese hackers assessed Yellen's computer in U.S. Treasury breach.
A broader breach of the Treasury Department by Chinese state-sponsored hackers was reported by Bloomberg News on Thursday, citing sources familiar with the matter.
According to the report, the computers of two senior officials, Deputy Secretary Wally Ademeaio and Acting Undersecretary Brad Smith, were also compromised.
Hackers assessed fewer than 50 files on Secretary Janet Yellen's computer, Bloomberg stated.
The Treasury Department has not yet responded to a request or comment from Reuters.
The breach, described by Treasury officials as a major incident, occurred in December when Chinese state-sponsored hackers exploited vulnerabilities in third-party cybersecurity provider Beyond Trust to compromise the department's systems.
China's always opposed all form of hacker attacks, Mao Ning, a spokesperson for Chinese Foreign Ministry, said at the time.
you So Chinese hackers breaking into Janet Yellen's computer.
TikTok CEO Xiao Chu planning to attend Trump's inauguration.
So again, it looks like this ban of TikTok might actually not go through overall.
But I also want you to understand that the move towards Chinese-controlled social media has always been the plan.
Has always been the plan.
That's what Blue Sky was all about.
Now, Blue Sky has largely collapsed under its own weight, as we said it would, after the transsexuals decided it was their platform.
And made it repulsive to anybody with any level of decency.
So it's not really a big threat, but the plan was, and this is just my speculation, but tell me if this doesn't make sense.
They thought Kamala Harris was going to get into office, and when Kamala Harris got into office, they were going to destroy and shut down X, one way or another.
Whether the way they did it through TikTok, by having a vote and just saying we declare X is bad, so we're...
Taking it down.
Or like through the SEC and all these other mechanisms that they have to disrupt business practices in America.
They were going to shut down X. Or massively hinder X or do something legally to take down X. And so, you know, if you're these people and you want to take down X, well, you can't just take it down and not have anything to offer.
They had to establish an alternative X to funnel everybody to once they shut down X. And that...
X alternative is Blue Sky, and it was built pre-established with the Chinese-level censorship controls baked in to the program.
And so this was their plan.
Kamala Harris gets elected.
They shut down X. Everybody migrates over to Blue Sky.
It's the number one choice, and it's the obvious alternative, and it already has embedded in it the algorithmic controls and censorship to guarantee that speech they don't like.
It stays away, and instead you're treated to nothing but transsexual fan art about Marvel characters.
And in fact, the woman who's the CEO of Blue Sky, she wasn't the founder.
The founder was Jack Dorsey, actually, when he left X. He went to Blue Sky.
Jack Dorsey and some other guy founded Blue Sky, and then they found the CEO. They just happened to find the CEO. And she was just like a random woman.
She's like of Chinese descent.
And she was like a Bitcoin miner or something.
She was actually, before she got the job as CEO of Blue Sky, she was like physically wiring servers in a Bitcoin farm somewhere.
Blue Sky CEO Jay Graber.
Now, the weird thing about all of this, the coincidence that I can't quite explain.
First of all, why did this random woman get chosen to be CEO of this major tech company that she apparently didn't found and helped start, but was just brought on?
It's quite a promotion, going from random nobody to CEO of the ex-killer, Blue Sky.
But it gets even weirder because her name is Blue Sky.
So they call her Jay.
That's a nickname.
Her actual name is Chinese, and it's the Chinese word for Blue Sky.
So you're telling me it's just a coincidence that this random 30-year-old woman was appointed to the CEO of a company that happens to have her name?
This is crazy.
No, the fact is she's, in my opinion, a Chinese operative who was always going to be put in charge of Blue Sky.
Her name is Blue Sky.
They named it after her.
But then they act like, well, and then we just decided to make her CEO. So the plan has always been to move people over to Chinese social media, which is why this whole TikTok ban, because it's Chinese, is just utterly ridiculous.
And instead, people are going over to this Red Note app that is pure Chinese propaganda, and they're falling for it.
So I hope you're not falling for it, and I hope it's obvious now why we at Infowars are so...
Wholly dedicated to the symbolism and foundational morality and honoring our founding fathers and the American system because it is the alternative to communism.
It is the actual solution to the problems that we're facing and is the greatest way to spread freedom and independence and self-sufficiency to the entire world.

All right, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
This is the American Journal.
I'm your host, Harrison Smith.
Very happy to be welcoming my guest, Aya May.
She is the singer and songwriter behind the hit single, Carmageddon.
And while her latest track has sparked significant conversation and controversy, Aya has stood her ground.
She refused to compromise on her vision when asked to change a key lyric line, leading to the end of her contract with her manager.
She chose to walk away from her record label and now fully independent.
Aya continues to carve her own path as an artist.
Her fearless approach is shaped by her unique perspective as a qualified medical doctor, having worked on the front lines during the COVID pandemic.
You can follow her on x at ayamaymusic, the Instagram at ayamayham, and the website ayamay.com.
I don't know if you're still in the maelstrom right now, but it absolutely burst onto the scene, you might say, and I personally was blown away by it.
I have to admit, I don't even like admitting this, but a lot of times we have on artists here, and it feels like sometimes you have to choose between really good music or music with a message, political music.
Look, to be honest, just all the stuff that's been happening in the last five years, I wrote it last year with my music producer, Danny Duke, and we just sat down and asked ourselves, what's going on in the world?
What's affect our personal lives?
I mean, I've been affected personally in a lot of ways, and I thought, how can I bring this into a piece of music where I feel like I'm singing what we're all thinking?
And then Carmageddon just kind of, like, evolved.
And we had no plans to write it, but, you know, it just happened, and it's cool because I think there's a lot of people out there who are feeling the same way.
I started thinking about life and what I want to do with my life a lot when I was in medical school, and I felt like there was something missing in my life.
You know, I was really grateful for all that I had, like an awesome job coming up, amazing mates, like had a sweet social life.
It was all cool.
But I just thought, something's missing, and I can't put my finger on it.
And I just felt this, like, intuitive calling to music, and I started doing cover songs.
And then I went to New York for a year to do a research thing, and I kind of just started dabbling in music.
And I met an amazing vocal coach, and he just inspired me, and I just developed this self-conviction where I was like, I want to do music whether people like it or not.
You know, my friends or family like it or not, I'm just going to do it and I'm going to make it work with medicine.
So it's kind of just been like never look back situation.
And so explain to me how this happened, because obviously this the song and the lyrics, I think they'd make a splash regardless.
But, you know, one of the biggest parts of this story is the fact that you did it totally independently and were actually, I guess, fired from your label instead of compromising on some of the lyrics to this song.
But just to lay the groundwork, you were assigned to a label, you'd released songs already, right?
Like, where were you in your musical career when you started to write this song?
Yeah, I don't know his exact opinion about all the lyrics because it kind of just evolved into a bit of a hectic situation and just a lot of, like, threats and just, you know, I won't go into it too much, but there was, like, a lot of that going on.
And I just had to step away from it eventually and be like, after, like, the 40th message, I'm like, look, man, this is obviously not working out for you or me, so see you later.
And I'm also not changing my art for anyone, if I believe in it.
But yeah, I don't know exactly.
The scope of his emotions and opinions on everything, but I know that the stuff about Israel and Palestine really, yeah, he didn't agree with that, so I know that for sure.
Oh, look, I won't go into it too much, you know, because I respect the dude.
I do.
I feel for him and I empathize where he's coming from.
But yeah, there was just like threats and just, you know, if you don't change this, I know people in the industry, all that stuff.
I'm like, okay, well, you know what?
I'm just going to keep speaking truth in the world.
See how that goes.
But like, best thing ever.
You know, I'm so glad I put this song out because it's like, I don't know how people would take it, but putting it out, I've just seen so many people feel the same way.
Yeah, it's, no, like you said, I mean, so many people are feeling this way, but, you know, don't have anybody out there to speak for them.
And, you know, I think your song does a fantastic job with that.
And again, yeah, you get into all these different topics and it is very interesting.
I won't push you on that.
You know, I guess you're too respectable to get into the dirt and start spreading gossip.
But I get it.
I get it.
But the reason I think it's interesting is because, you know, in your song you get into some of the, you know, psychological motivations behind what was going on with COVID, like the isolation.
I don't know if you did that on purpose, but that's what came through to me is, you know, you start the song with an opening line about being lonely, about being isolated.
I think that's why your song, you know, speaks to so many people.
But then also you have, you know, once you're trying to put the song out, you see a lot of the same sort of tactics being taken.
Or, I don't know, there's something about it that's like, you're talking about blackmail, you're talking about all this corruption, and then the corruption tries to stop the song getting out.
There's something metaphysical about it that I think is very interesting.
So, again, I won't press you on it, but...
Was that intended, the theme of isolation in the song?
That really came through to me, and I think everybody experienced that during COVID, the imposed isolation with a purpose behind it, right?
Like, isolation during COVID, isolation now, you know, with all the chaos going on in the world, and we have this, yeah, we have this phone in our hands, yet we've probably never felt so lonely, and we're so connected, but we're so disconnected, and we're so...
Engaged, but we're so distracted all at once.
And I, yeah, I mean, I went through a lot of isolation during COVID. Australia was one of the strictest lockdowns in the world.
It was hectic.
People in Melbourne and Sydney really suffered.
I was fortunate to be in Queensland.
It wasn't as, it was a bit more chill.
But I think now more than ever, like we have the means to be connected, but we are so disconnected sometimes and we're so influenced and so manipulated by our...
Our digital pockets, you know, our phones, and a lot of us feel lonely.
And I've had so many comments on this song, like on my Instagram, and it's just so nice to see.
And a lot of people have said, this song makes me feel less alone.
And I just thought, that's the best thing ever.
And that's the reason why I do music and why a lot of artists create, is to just touch people's hearts.
The powers that be might want us to be isolated is because it's easier to manipulate people.
It's easier to get people in a weakened, discombobulated sense of themselves.
And then you can sort of steer them in the direction that they want to go.
But when we have fellowship and we can hang out with each other and have a good time, you're not stressed out.
You're not as fearful.
You're not as easily to manipulate either.
When you have a network of friends that you can rely on, you're not as worried about what the masses might think because you know, well, I have my family and my friends and they'll be with me no matter what.
You know, tell the truth here.
So I think it's a very powerful mechanism that they wield against us and that benefits them greatly.
And I do think that music is one of the most powerful things for bringing people together.
I mean, art in general, but music in particular has such a powerful ability to draw people in.
When you're writing this, I mean, was it just sort of getting your emotions out and getting the feelings out and just wanting to express it?
Did you have the idea that you wanted to bring people together?
You wanted to speak out for people that were going through this?
Was it more personal or more political, your lyric writing?
And again, this is where it almost like folds back in on itself, where it's like then they're using, you know, this pressure to try to get you to change your lyrics.
And, you know, I'm sure it would have been very easy for you, right?
It would have been easy to just go, all right, fine, I'll change this one.
It's one lyric or it's two lyrics like, you know, all right, fine.
I'm sure it would have been very easy to do that.
And then you're...
Way forward would have been a lot more simple for you and probably a lot easier for you.
You chose the hard road.
Clearly, it's paying off.
The guy's got to be kicking himself now.
He's probably the one thinking, gee, I should have just dropped it.
I could be benefiting from this instead of Aya by herself.
Obviously, people resonate with this.
They just love it and are glad somebody's out there speaking for them.
You have to feel like it's worth it, right?
I'm glad that all of this has come to fruition because it must have been a gigantic risk and there must have been a lot of uncertainty when you made the choice to go it alone.
I just thought, stuff it, I'm just going to put this out and see what happens.
It's also hard being a doctor, too, because I'm talking about Fauci and the World Health Organization, and I just felt like I went in, and I just went hard, and I'm just like, whatever.
I actually worked in some of the COVID clinics in Australia.
I mean, I don't know what to say.
I just, obviously, I was affected.
My perspective changed a lot about the health system and I questioned a lot more.
And I started thinking, hang on, like...
Is this just public health or is this something else going on without getting too down the rabbit hole?
But yeah, it made me question my role as a doctor and also a healer, which is important to me and what I'm giving to the people and the flaws in our system.
I mean, obviously from my perspective, it would be the entire top-down construction of our...
Health system, which, again, I thought was so interesting.
You're an Australian singer, but in your song you're talking about Fauci.
And, you know, we're American, we're so American-centric, you know, we forget there's the rest of the world, but it's crazy to me that some dude in America is setting health policy that's being enforced across the entire world in Australia.
So it's this incredible, you know, pyramid structure or, you know, chain of command, basically, where all the doctors seem to fall into line all over the world when Fauci said something.
So, I mean, what would you identify as some of the problems that came to light for you as a doctor during COVID? Yeah, it's a good question.
Yeah, and I think a lot of people, you know, had that same experience where maybe, you know, what happened during COVID sort of opened their eyes to, well, if this is happening here, maybe it could happen elsewhere.
Or, you know, what is, if it's not for our health, what is the purpose behind this?
And why are they so censorious about it?
And just start asking, you know, greater questions about everything else.
I think at the end of the day, all of the COVID stuff, and we have conspiracies all day about why they were implementing these things and what the ultimate purpose of it is.
But I think at the end of the day, it's going to do more damage to their schemes than it helped them.
Because like yourself, so many people woke up maybe for the first time or really understood how serious the situation was under COVID. And like you said, so much stuff is coming out now.
I mean, do you think there's...
What do you think we do?
What is justice in this case?
What do we do with these people like Fauci who locked us down?
And now we know the lockdowns were hugely damaging, didn't help stop the spread of virus.
The vaccines we know now are not effective and probably extremely deadly.
But nobody seems to be taking this as seriously as it needs to be, which is like, if this is true, if this really wasn't necessary and all this damaging stuff, I mean, these guys are Yeah, look, I'm not a politician.
And again, it's amazing that you're an Australian, I'm an American.
We're both sensing this and seeing this.
So, I mean, it truly is sort of a global awakening going on because the attack was global.
So the response has to be global as well, kind of obviously.
And, you know, again, your success, the success of this song, the, you know, how widespread this was, the number of fans you now have, it shows that you don't need...
The system, so they can't really hold that over you.
I'm sure as you were sort of being berated about this song, there was a lot of like, hey, without us, you're nothing.
Hey, you know, we're the ones who give you the platform.
We can take it away from you.
And when that's not the case, when you can just go directly to your audience and they can directly support you, you're cutting out the middleman.
You're cutting out the controlling factor.
I mean, this is a whole new world and it's beautiful and amazing.
And you're, you know, an example of that, an exemplar of that, I think.
I think that's because I started off so badly with the manager ending our contract.
So I thought, oh wow, this is going to be hectic.
So I've been very surprised, pleasantly surprised by all the people rallying behind it.
And as you said, we don't really need the system.
To some extent, you know, this song went number two in Australia on iTunes and it's, you know, it's on like viral charts in Spotify throughout different countries.
And interestingly, I don't know if Spotify just hasn't heard it yet or they're blocking it, whatever.
They're not adding it to their playlist as of yet.
However, the algorithm from the people's support is driving it to hit these viral playlists.
And I just think that's so cool because it's showing that the people actually do have so much power.
The people's support is what's driving this track to get around the world.
Like, I couldn't do this without any of those people and you guys helping me out.
There's no chance.
It's me and my producer.
You know, we're best mates and we're just trying to put something cool out in the world that we believe in.
And I had no idea how it would go.
I thought I'm just going to have to log onto my socials, post it, jump off because I'm going to have so much hate that I just don't want to even see it.
It's a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down.
You can say things that might make people enraged otherwise, but if you put it in a catchy song, there's something about it.
People will listen more.
They'll accept it more.
They'll appreciate it more.
So, yeah, I can't ever see you getting hate for this song.
Frankly, I'm sort of shocked that they didn't want to put it out.
Because, again, it's...
It's just a genuinely good song.
I'm not just saying that to compliment you.
It's one of the things that I think surprises people.
They go, well, wait, she produced this song and this music video without any help?
That's an impressive achievement in and of itself.
And of course, one of the reasons I wanted to talk to you is to inspire more people to go out there and make music.
Maybe more people who are under contract and are worried about, you know, saying the wrong thing, they might get dropped.
It's like, that could be the best thing that ever happens to you.
So I mean, what advice would you have for people or, or what did you focus on while you were making this music in order to get the quality to the level that is equal to this, the mainstream stuff that has out, has networks behind it?
One thing I just thought of is I really would love to just tell other artists just to follow your intuition.
Trust the process.
You just know.
You just intuitively know something is right to do.
Just follow that.
Follow your gut instincts.
If it's telling you to write this and put it out, then do it.
If it's telling you to just maybe work on it a bit more and refine it, finesse it, follow that.
But intuition plays a huge, huge part in this role.
And this was a lot of work.
In the lead-up, I wasn't just messing around.
And my producer, Danny, who's such a legend, helped me out, has my back.
He wasn't messing around either.
We really...
We have a lot of conversations together in the studio together, us two thinking about what's going on in the world, what's going on in our hearts, like what's some really deep stuff that we just want to talk about and I want to write about.
And, you know, we've been doing that for a couple of years, like just having these conversations and all that, you know, subconsciously just like penetrates your mind and your energy and that has just trickled into this song.
Yeah, like, it's hard work making content and going out there.
I shot this music video in Newcastle, Australia with a guy who's amazing as well, Bradley.
He's jumped on board just to help me make cool visuals, you know, just wants to support.
So many people have just jumped in, putting their hands up, saying, can I help?
Can I help?
You know, given the situation where I don't have a team anymore, I'm building up my team, you know, with my friends independently, which is cool.
But yeah, just follow your intuition massively here.
That's what I did.
And work, yeah, just Work your hardest so you can and try and make something that's really quality that you're proud of.
If I ever try to do something that's like, I'm lucky I just sit in front of a camera and we're live, so I just get to spout for three hours and then my job's over.
It's way harder to write something.
It's way harder to figure out what you actually want to say and try to put it in lyrics, try to make it rhyme in your case.
That's actually way more difficult.
I wonder if you were like, I imagine I would be.
Did you have like five songs worth of material that you had to try to pare down to just the best stuff?
I can't imagine you were struggling to come up with things to talk about.
And are we going to see more songs along this line?
Well, I'd actually written a whole EP before this song.
This song was a bit of a throwaway.
Like, we're just writing it and I didn't know if I'd release it.
And then I'm like, no, this is like divine timing.
The fact that it would...
If I release this now, it would come out on its own accidentally after the US election.
But I'd been working on music and other songs, which I actually love a lot.
And I'd probably say I love more than Carmageddon, in a way.
All before this.
And I'm still working on songs now, all the time.
I'm about to go to the studio today and work on some new stuff.
So I don't know exactly the direction, you know, if it's going to be...
In the vein of this, or if it's going to be other stuff or both, but I'm just going to, as I said, trust my intuition, follow my heart, and just speak what I think is truth, and I reckon there's some cool stuff that's really going to come out, and I'm excited.
Yeah, I mean, you definitely have inspired a fan base to follow you.
And there's this saying, a little cliche, but it's been making the rounds of, conservatism is the new counterculture.
And when people first started saying that a couple years ago, it was kind of like, is it though?
I don't know.
I mean, obviously our culture is very leftist and liberal.
Australia, I think, is even more so from what I've seen from it.
And if you want conservative messaging, you do have to go to the counterculture.
At this point, it seems like...
The counterculture, again, is sort of subsuming the culture where now, like, the biggest podcasters, the biggest shows, the biggest, you know, comedians, maybe soon the biggest music stars, are all sort of pushing a more conservative message.
Is it that way in Australia, too?
Is that an American-centric sort of idea, or are you seeing sort of the cultural swing back towards the right?
You know, even, and again, this is something that it almost doesn't have much to do with politics, right?
This is more of a cultural thing that even, and it's happening so rapidly.
I mean, if you had questioned any of the COVID narratives, I mean, people got in a fight with you, they'd yell at you, they'd, you know, uninvite you from their wedding.
I mean, people took it really seriously.
Now people are starting, you know, maybe more information is coming in, but, you know, obviously questioning COVID, questioning the vaccine, nobody's getting their vaccine boosters, right?
Everybody sort of realizes it's...
It's a fraud.
So, you know, clearly there's an awareness sort of rising and, you know, you're sort of, you know, riding that wave in a way by talking about this stuff, being one of the first, you know, out in front.
But I think we're going to see more of you.
My producer has a very important question for you, Kim or Kanye?
Yeah, well, the song is about division, so it is a lot about that.
And in my other lyrics, I say, if you go left and I go right, you know, that's like, well, you have to go this way, I have to go this way, and then we hate the other side.
And there was so much division.
Like, the whole thing during COVID, it was just insane.
Like, the amount of division coming into the world.
And then more and more, you know, even in the last year, there's just been division.
And it sucks.
Like, why do we have to be so divided in humanity?
Like, it's my brother, it's my sister, and that's it.
We're all from the same source, I believe.
And also just the celebrity distractions that are used.
You know, there's, like, wars going on and so much stuff going on.
But social media is talking about Kim or Kanye and Kendrick and Drake.
It's like...
You know, like, are they just dangling a distraction there for us?
So it's one of those things where it's like, we don't want to be distracted by the celebrity stuff, but then the real world stuff going on is so blackpilling.
I mean, demoralizing and frustrating in and of itself.
But we don't even have an escape now because politics are so – or entertainment, rather, is so political.
A little Freudian slip there.
Our politics have become more like entertainment, and the entertainment has become unbearably political at this point with few exceptions such as yourself.
So it's almost like we don't get a break from this.
There's no way to escape from whatever this is, this continual chaos being pumped into our brains.
What do you do other than sing and, you know, something other than politics?
I mean, do you have anything that you do to just, like, separate from the world other than music?
I know that's cliche, but I love listening to music.
And, yeah, I was thinking about what you just said yesterday, actually.
There's just so much chaos that...
It's almost like a lot of us don't want to be political, and a lot of us don't care about politics, find it boring, but we're forced.
It's in our faces every day, whether we like it or not, and that is so consuming and overwhelming sometimes.
So it's like we don't have a choice.
Whether we like it or not, these issues are affecting us.
It's impossible to not be political sometimes.
But what do I do?
I love to stay fit.
I just love, I adore my mates.
I love seeing my friends and I love traveling and just like I'm a huge foodie and I just think you've got to find that grounding in your day and whether it's praying, meditating and just finding a way to just get back to yourself and your roots and your heart because otherwise like it's so easy to get lost in this chaotic world with so much going on and we're just bombarded with information every damn day.
Yeah, it's a 3,000-person village, and it is truly in the rainforest in, like, northern Australia.
It's hot as hell.
It's humid.
It's beautiful.
It's stunning.
I think it had a huge role in who I am.
It was an unconventional upbringing for sure.
Yeah, raised by my mom, my older sisters, legends.
I think I have a big appreciation for nature.
The environment and the world and a connection in that way to God and I'm spiritual and I adore the planet and I want it to be healthy and I want others to be healthy.
And every year I go back home to connect to my roots there and I just ground myself there and just remind myself like why I do all this in the first place, what I want to do with my life, how I want to serve others, how I want to give back to the world.
Create.
And I think it's such a grounding, glorious little pocket of earth.
And at the same time, I also really love New York City.
It's my favorite city.
And I'm, you know, like, I want to go there soon if I can.
And yeah, it's fine to love both.
But yeah, I think it had a pivotal role for sure.
It's kind of a quirky, unique little spot.
And I think it comes out in what I write as well sometimes and who I am.
I was just wondering, it just, you know, it seems like a lot of times people who are able to, like, you know, speak freely about stuff, they avoided that indoctrination early on.
I went to, you know, public school here in the States, too, so some of us make it through unscathed, but, you know, I was...
I'm just always wondering what gives people sort of the fortitude.
It's got to be something early in life that, you know, sets your brain a certain way that gives you the confidence and ability to speak out about this stuff, even when you're being pressured so hard not to.
So, yeah, and I can imagine growing up in a small place in the rainforest.
I mean, there's got to be a sense of community there that us big city folks were missing out on growing up.
Because everybody's sort of realizing, like, it's something that we can come together on.
We might be, you know, at each other's throats, you know, arguing over something.
We both go, hey, we both know the people in charge are full of crap, right?
And they're lying to us.
And, like, everybody believes that.
Everybody understands that on either side.
And that seems fairly new to me.
So I don't know.
I don't know if...
I don't know if these labels even work anymore, and half the people that work at Infowars I would classify as hippies at this point.
So, you know, it's not that they're liberal, but they just recognize something about nature and about the corruption of these human structures that we have to live under.
I think there's a real opportunity here for reaching out, and again, I think music's a great chance to do this.
Have you been surprised by any of the support that you've gotten?
Like, have there been any, like, big lefties being like, hey, I hate everything that you're talking about, but I love your song?
Like, what has surprised you about some of the support you've received?
You know, everybody knows at this point it was a man-made virus.
We can stop pretending now if, you know, if we want to.
And just to clarify, I was trying to find the line.
I mean, it's one line in here about, you know, more than war, it's genocide.
You know, politicians bribe for life.
That's the line.
That's the line that, you know, everybody's freaking out about.
But again, even just from like an artistic standpoint, what you're expressing is what...
What millions of people around the world are thinking.
So, you know, even if you were just doing it as, you know, I don't believe this, but let me express what people are thinking right now.
You know, this needs to be said, and I think there's something sort of sick about, you know, taking this feeling that millions of people are feeling and saying, you're not allowed to sing about this.
You're not allowed to express this.
And it's like somebody's got to speak up for this.
And even if you disagree with it...
You recognize how many people are horrified by what's going on and it's not political and it's not choosing a side.
It's just the human reaction of seeing this stuff on our phones in a way that we've never have before and it being more real than it's ever seemed before.
So, you know, I wonder why people can't give maybe more lenience of just going, hey, this is art.
It's what people are thinking.
And even if you disagree, this is reality and it needs to be reflected in the art that we make because that's what culture is.
So, you know, I... I wonder why people are so sensitive about this when it's going on and people are pissed off by it.
When you wrote that, did you know what a controversial line it would be?
Like, without going into it too much, like, it is such a complex issue and there's a lot of genocides going on around the world as well, you know, but just people are hurting and I just wanted to create something that would spark a conversation and just seeing what people might be feeling, what I would think we're all feeling, or many of us.
And that's what this song is about.
It is about just having a chat and bringing things into light and awareness, bringing...
Truth into light and discussing that with each other rather than just like, nah, disagree with you, you know, like I hate you and shut you down.
And censorship is a big part of that.
Like, and silencing is a big part of that.
And I hate that.
And it's not right.
Like, we should be able to say how we feel, especially in art.
And who should be able to dictate that we can't?
You know, when did that happen?
I mean, it happened a lot in the last five years, which we're seeing.
I was worried that this song wouldn't be heard by anyone because it would be censored and silenced.
And, I mean, maybe it is.
You know, like the fact that...
I don't know if Spotify's heard it again or not.
But the fact that it hasn't been added, you know, like it hasn't been supported heaps and it's not being played by mainstream radio, yet it's going viral.
Yeah, well, and when they know that, you know, you've taken a risk, when they know that you've, you know, been dropped by your manager over this, people are, like, eager to support you.
It really is beautiful.
I mean, people are hungry.
Like, we're starving for somebody to speak out and to talk about this stuff.
Okay, so Joe Rogan followed you.
That's good.
We got to hook you up with him.
We're going to try to hook you up with Kanye.
What other...
Anybody else reach out to you or signal to you?
Any other big artists that are secretly based behind the scenes?
If the stardom doesn't work, you can still be a doctor.
That's a very nice backup plan.
But no, I think you're exactly right.
And, you know, I'm sort of a doctor myself now that I think about it, healing people spiritually.
But I do always...
Reference the Hippocratic Oath, and especially the one line in the Hippocratic Oath where it says, to avoid the twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.
And I think that applies so much to the psychological world and the world of politics.
It's like, you don't want to go crazy and just go, ah, everything's terrible.
Just enslave us.
Screw it.
You know, just be in charge and set everything right.
That would be like the overreaction.
And then like therapeutic nihilism is just like, you know, ah, it's all screwed over.
It's the black pill.
It's just, why even fight?
The bad guys have won anyway.
Let's just, you know, go have fun or whatever.
So, you know, as much as I'm being a little bit facetious, I do think there's like these distinct connections between sort of, you know, physical, mental health and the spiritual health that I think you're promoting with this song.
So I think there's a lot to that.
Any comments on the therapeutic nihilism or overtreatment idea?
I think, as you said, our spirituality and our physical health and our mental health is all one.
I believe that.
And one can't operate without the other.
When you look after our emotions as people, especially now with all this world chaos, like our emotions are taking hits every day and our mind is our body and it's one beautiful system.
And I think healthcare is becoming more and more in that holistic way.
I think I love some doctors at the moment.
I'm just speaking out like Dr. Zach Bush.
He is such a cool, Doctor that I look up to.
He's actually US-based.
But just focusing on how to heal our minds and our bodies and connect to nature and connect to our earth and ground ourselves.
And I mean, maybe some people think I'm a hippie for that.
Maybe not.
But is that really being a hippie or is it just like using these natural resources that we have and let's not undervalue the power of preventing disease in the first place by eating well and getting sunshine and having community?
Yeah, I just love the holistic space that that's going into and I'm excited personally as a doctor because I think that's just going to evolve more and more.
And I think COVID and the pandemic in the last five years had a huge role in that.
I think people are questioning the system more, questioning the pharmaceutical industry and just looking to other natural ways of healing themselves.
And there's always a place for pharmaceuticals and I love science and obviously that's why I became a doctor and there's totally a place.
For medicine and Western medicine and surgeries and everything.
I'm not doubting that.
But I think now is the time when we can look at what else can we do for our health?
