It's Monday, January 27th in the year of our Lord, 2025. And you're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | |
| Watch it live right now at band.video. | ||
| Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Welcome to The American Journal. | ||
| Coming to you live from the satellite studio of InfoWars.com, band.video. | ||
| Yes, I'm here in this new studio. | ||
| It's pretty cool, I have to admit. | ||
| It's pretty interesting. | ||
| Feels a little bit different. | ||
| Can't see my crew anywhere. | ||
| Of course, we had to build this because next week, next month rather, we don't know what's going to happen with Infowars and the bankruptcy proceedings. | ||
| And we could very well be kicked out of the studio if that is the whim of the courts. | ||
| So, of course, we have set up an alternative here. | ||
| Anyway, this is what has happened. | ||
| This is what happened with thealexjonesstore.com forward slash Harrison if you want to let them know who sent you. | ||
| We got a lot to talk about. | ||
| This has been an absolutely insane weekend. | ||
| I had a period this weekend where I literally went down for a nap and by the time I'd woken up, we had won a trade war with Columbia. | ||
| We weren't even in one when I went to sleep. | ||
| And I wake up and we've already won. | ||
| It's mind-blowing how quickly things are moving right now. | ||
| The deportations are not just happening, but accelerating. | ||
| And just a lot of other stuff to talk about today. | ||
| I don't know if we even can take phone calls, but we'll do whatever we can. | ||
| can. | ||
| We'll begin today as we do every day with our daily dispatch. | ||
| All right, here it is, folks, your daily dispatch for Monday, the 27th of January, 2025. | ||
| Our first story is this. | ||
| CIA releases new analysis on COVID origins favoring lab leak. | ||
| Yeah, the CIA has admitted that it leaked from a lab. | ||
| Quote, we have low confidence in this judgment and will continue to evaluate any... | ||
| Available credible new intelligence report or open source information that could change the CIA's assessment, a CIA spokesperson told Fox News. | ||
| So this was one of the first moves by John Ratcliffe, the new director of the CIA. And it was done apparently in an effort to regain confidence of the American people in the CIA by admitting what we've known the entire time. | ||
| It's just, I just... | ||
| Put the change in the jar, folks. | ||
| Put the change in the Alex Jones was right jar, in the InfoWars was right jar, because we've known this the entire time, and here's the secret. | ||
| So have they. | ||
| So have they. | ||
| Just like the Biden laptop disinformation they put out saying it was Russian propaganda. | ||
| They know they're lying. | ||
| Don't think for a single second that the CIA was just being judicial in its announcement of where the COVID. Leak came from because they didn't want to inflame international relations. | ||
| They've known for as long as, well, at least as long as we have, right? | ||
| And we knew the week that the virus was announced. | ||
| So, yeah, they've known as well. | ||
| Just understand that they've known the entire time, just like we have. | ||
| Otherwise, you're saying that Infowars is somehow more informed than the Central Intelligence Agency, which would be even a bigger issue. | ||
| That'd be even a bigger issue than them lying. | ||
| Meanwhile, Trump immigration cracked down underway as Colombia backs down over tariff threat. | ||
| Colombia avoided a trade war with the U.S. by agreeing to accept deported migrants being returned on military planes after President Donald Trump threatened to steep tariffs. | ||
| And again, we'll go over exactly how this went down. | ||
| But long story short, we sent a plane full of criminals back to where they came from in Colombia. | ||
| Columbia refused to allow the plane to land. | ||
| Donald Trump issued 25% tariffs on Columbia, canceled all of their visas and threatened 50% tariffs if things didn't change. | ||
| And then Columbia said, oh, never mind. | ||
| Oh, whoops, did we say you couldn't land? | ||
| Come right in. | ||
| In fact, we're going to send the presidential plane of Columbia to go pick up more deportees. | ||
| Sorry about that little misunderstanding we had there. | ||
| Totally incredible. | ||
| While playing golf and won a trade war with Columbia from the golf course, just absolutely incredible. | ||
| And we'll go over today what it would have looked like if Trump wasn't the president. | ||
| A lot of people are putting together sort of timelines of like, okay, if this was a normal Republican presidency, what would the chain of command been here? | ||
| Would have been like a week. | ||
| They wouldn't even have done anything about this until Monday when... | ||
| It would have gone to the Congress and it would have been a whole thing. | ||
| Nothing ever would have happened. | ||
| Instead, Donald Trump is the president, so he fires off some trade restrictions from the golf course. | ||
| Between hole 8 and 9, he decided to destroy the Colombian economy with a single truth social post. | ||
| And by the time he was wrapping up the game, Colombia had folded completely. | ||
| Just an incredible example of what we could have been doing this entire time and we want to see more of. | ||
| We'll get more into that a little bit later. | ||
| Meanwhile, we have this. | ||
| Palestinians finally returning to devastated northern Gaza after a ceasefire dispute delay. | ||
| Tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians began returning home to northern Gaza on Monday, bracing for what awaits them in a region that has been reduced to rubble by months of brutal bombardment and fighting. | ||
| Israel opened a corridor in the north of Gaza Strip on Monday, 48 hours later than initially planned. | ||
| And it blamed the delay on Hamas, saying the militant group breached the terms of the ceasefire agreement that guaranteed people would be able to return to the north. | ||
| And the images coming out of this return are truly astonishing, really monumental stuff here. | ||
| We'll get back into that as well as some of the Israeli hostages have been released. | ||
| And the way that's being covered is is very interesting. | ||
| And we'll get into how that story is being told. | ||
| Meanwhile, Trump admin already finds approximately 75,000 missing migrant children and children in their first week. | ||
| Former DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told Congress he didn't know where the 300,000 missing children were, and the DHS bore no responsibility for them disappearing. | ||
| The Trump administration has already located about 75,000 to 80,000 of the approximately 300,000 migrant children who've gone missing since illegally crossing the U.S. southern border under Joe Biden's term, according to reports. | ||
| Fox News host Harris Faulkner on Saturday expressed her shock over reports from Border Patrol sources that the Trump administration has quickly been able to identify and find about 25% of the missing migrant children only four days after taking office. | ||
| We will get back into this just as soon as the daily dispatch is over. | ||
| But suffice it to say that whether it's the missing migrant children or the thousands of migrant criminals, we've always known where they all are. | ||
| Like, it really is amazing how quickly all these guys are being rounded up, the criminals, and how quickly the children are being found. | ||
| And what it points to is the fact that the Biden administration apparently has giant databases of exactly who these people are and where they are, and they were just allowing them to... | ||
| Live in the United States and commit crimes against the American people. | ||
| And it's not actually a difficult task to reverse all of this and find all the missing children and deport all of the criminals. | ||
| It's just you have to actually try to do that. | ||
| And that's what Trump and Tom Homan are doing. | ||
| Again, more on the deportations and everything in just a second. | ||
| Finally, a massive and I don't even understand how huge this story is. | ||
| I'm trying to wrap my head around it. | ||
| DeepSeek's Sputnik moment prompts investors to sell big AI players. | ||
| Apparently NVIDIA is down like 25% or something insane this morning. | ||
| I think it was 12% actually. | ||
| Still absolutely massive for one of the most highly valued companies in history. | ||
| DeepSeek is a Chinese version of ChatGPT basically that apparently is a lot better. | ||
| And runs a lot faster and was a lot cheaper to make. | ||
| And has basically eviscerated the AI market here in America. | ||
| And the AI market here is scrambling to figure out how to deal with this. | ||
| I just wonder why they named it after an Indian guy. | ||
| Doesn't that sound like an Indian guy's name? | ||
| DeepSeek? | ||
| I think I know a guy named DeepSeek. | ||
| We'll get into what exactly DeepSeek is and how much... | ||
| How much better it is than ChatGPT because it definitely is. | ||
| I'm going to show you some examples from that. | ||
| And we'll again try to figure out how it is that China so thoroughly beat us in our own game and what it's doing with DeepSeek, the AI model, how it got there, and all of that because it's all extremely fascinating. | ||
| Apparently China basically did a crackdown on its banking sector in order to... | ||
| Redirect the, you know, talent from universities into things that actually improve humanity and build things rather than just a bunch of parasitical gamblers, you know, manipulating to the market, manipulating the market to their own end. | ||
| And apparently that's paid off quite a bit. | ||
| Quite a bit. | ||
| But they've also, of course, this is the Chinese AI, so it's pretty interesting when you ask it about things like Tiananmen Square. | ||
| We have that video as well. | ||
| Showing at censorship is not something exclusive to American AI systems. | ||
| We'll get into all of this and more. | ||
| It has been an absolutely crazy weekend, but I do want to remind you to go to thealexjonesstore.com. | ||
| That's thealexjonesstore.com to make sure that no matter what happens next month, we will be able to continue broadcasting as the Trump administration just racks up win after win after win. | ||
| But we still have to stay on our toes and be aware of the maneuvers in the background to just spoil us of our victory. | ||
| Go to thealexjonesstore.com to keep us on the air and in the fight. | ||
| Let's talk about deportations, deportations. | ||
| Deportations have ramped up to a much more significant degree compared to this time last year or any time under the Biden administration. | ||
| And Trump is activating basically the entire federal system to carry out deportations. | ||
| Trump gives ATF, DEA, and marshals new powers to arrest and deport illegal migrants. | ||
| This is from Infowars. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| This is from New York Post, actually. | ||
| I believe it is posted on Infowars.com as well. | ||
| President Trump calling in the cavalry to help ICE catch and deport illegal migrants in the U.S. The Trump administration has authorized the DEA, ATF, and U.S. Marshals to begin making immigration arrests and processing deportations, according to the Wall Street Journal. | ||
| Acting Homeland Security Secretary Benjamin Huffman authorized the move Wednesday, giving the federal agents the same authority as those with Homeland Security and the FBI to deal with illegal immigrants, according to the outlet. | ||
| Previously, agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, the Drug Enforcement Agency, and the Marshals were powerless if they picked up a suspect who was in the country illegally. | ||
| They had to rely on Immigrations and Custom Enforcement to deal with immigration issues, he said. | ||
| Here's my idea. | ||
| Not only do I love this, not only do I love the fact that agents from these organizations are being used to carry out deportations or at least allowed to report and do something about illegal immigrants if they find them in this country. | ||
| I think that's all they should be doing. | ||
| I think maybe they can be abolished. | ||
| Maybe they can just be redirected. | ||
| The ATF can now just go after illegal aliens, and the DEA can just, you know, go after the illegal aliens. | ||
| And, of course, the marshals, they can go after the illegal aliens, and they can leave all the Americans alone. | ||
| Drug enforcement agency. | ||
| If you're not arresting illegal immigrants, are you really stopping the flow of drugs? | ||
| Hard to make that argument. | ||
| ICE arrests up to... | ||
| 1,000 people in a single day as deportations ramp up. | ||
| A tally of 956 is the largest yet since President Trump has sworn into office on Monday and three times the average number of daily arrests of illegal aliens in the fiscal year to 30th of September 2024. In an interview with ABC's This Week, Homan said arrests and deportations would continue to steadily increase close to 1,000 arrests made by Immigration's Customs Enforcement, although apparently the... | ||
| Latest news is that Donald Trump has said it's not happening fast enough, and he's instituted a quota of 1,500 per day, which, again, is a great start. | ||
| But the fact is, if you crunch the numbers, if you really just multiply 1,000 a day by 365, we're never going to get anywhere near the number that we need to in four years, even if Trump... | ||
| Doubles this number. | ||
| We're still talking about just a percentage of the number of people that have crossed over the last four years, and that's not including the decades of immigration up to this point. | ||
| So I again think there needs to be multiple facets to this program. | ||
| Yes, the deportations are good and need to ramp up and need to happen faster and need to be facilitated even quicker. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| But you also need other methods of convincing people to leave on their own. | ||
| And I hope this is what people like Tom Homan mean when they talk about, well, it's unfeasible to deport millions of people a year because what you're talking about is having to go and arrest them, having to process them, having to transport them. | ||
| You have to do that for every single person. | ||
| Yeah, that is pretty infeasible, and that's just a fact of reality. | ||
| I mean, it would just take a significantly larger force to carry out that by the millions. | ||
| So they've got to deport themselves. | ||
| You've got to put pressure on them to deport themselves and cutting off any and all support they get here, obviously shutting down the NGOs, going after the NGOs, which is another big topic of conversation over this weekend with interviews of Tom Homan and J.D. Vance, both approaching the subject when it comes to Catholic charities and others who have made just gobs of money, just unimaginable amounts of money on flooding our country with illegal foreigners. | ||
| So we've got to we've got to do something else. | ||
| We've got to do something else to encourage these people to leave without us having to take every step for them. | ||
| They've got to do it themselves. | ||
| I don't think it's really that difficult. | ||
| I think you just tell them you can either leave or you can go to jail and do hard labor for a long time. | ||
| It's a very simple dichotomy. | ||
| I'm just going to say this every day. | ||
| Until it gets implemented, because something like this has to be implemented. | ||
| And people right now, they just go, well, why should I deport myself? | ||
| I'll just stay here for as long as possible. | ||
| If they do find me, I'll be deported. | ||
| But if that's the worst that happens to me, then why would I do that now if it's the eventual thing that will happen? | ||
| It doesn't really make any sense, right? | ||
| Deport yourself or else you'll be deported. | ||
| And it's like, well, they'll just hang on for as long as possible. | ||
| And if you do eventually catch them, they'll be deported. | ||
| Why would they deport themselves in the first place? | ||
| I think instead it needs to be, if they catch me, I won't be deported. | ||
| I'll be digging ditches for five to ten years. | ||
| So I better just get out of here as quickly as I can. | ||
| I don't want them to catch me. | ||
| I should just deport myself. | ||
| That really just is a very simple method of encouragement, encouraging them to get out of our country, and then they'll just do it themselves and it won't cost us anything. | ||
| And it'd be great. | ||
| And wouldn't that be great? | ||
| So that's my plan, personally. | ||
| Of course, of the people that we have seen arrested so far, the Columbia Exchange has been just an absolutely fascinating couple of minutes this Sunday. | ||
| U.S.-Columbia reached deal on deportations. | ||
| Tariffs and sanctions have been put on hold at this point. | ||
| The U.S. and Columbia pulled back from the brink of trade war on Saturday. | ||
| As the White House said, the South American nation had agreed to accept military aircraft carrying deported migrants. | ||
| U.S. President Donald Trump had threatened tariffs and sanctions on Colombia to punish it for earlier refusing to accept military flights carrying deportees as part of his sweeping immigration crackdown. | ||
| But in a statement late on Sunday, the White House said Colombia had agreed to accept the migrants. | ||
| After all, Washington would not impose its threatened penalties. | ||
| So again, I mean, this happened pretty much in an hour. | ||
| Pretty much we sent a plane down full of criminals. | ||
| I mean, the people that have been arrested and deported so far are the criminal element. | ||
| You know, apparently we just had massive lists of illegal immigrant criminals in our country. | ||
| The Biden administration knew, lived here, knew where they were, could have picked them up at any time, chose not to until Hohman got into office. | ||
| We went and picked them up, put them on a plane, shipped them to Columbia. | ||
| Columbia said they wouldn't accept them. | ||
| Trump said, yes, you will. | ||
| Columbia said, oh, right, yes, we will. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that was that. | |
| For a moment, they were like, well, you're going to put tariffs on our stuff. | ||
| We're going to put tariffs on your stuff. | ||
| And then they just looked at the chart, and it was like, okay, you're all going to die. | ||
| You're all going to starve to death. | ||
| There's just absolutely no way that you can try to wage a trade war with the United States. | ||
| You are Columbia. | ||
| They thought about that for a little bit, decided it was better to, yeah, accept back their own citizens. | ||
| Problem solved. | ||
| Problem absolutely solved. | ||
| But the Colombian president, apparently some crazy communist cross-dresser dude, I don't know, we're learning a lot about this guy. | ||
| The Colombian president posted his super stable stream of consciousness message for Trump. | ||
| Here are excerpts translated from Spanish. | ||
| Quote, I confess that like Sacco and Vanzetti who have my blood, they were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair. | ||
| The fascists who are within the USA as well as within my country. | ||
| You're going to wipe out the human species because of greed. | ||
| You consider me an inferior race, but I'm not. | ||
| I resisted torture and I resist you. | ||
| It's like. | ||
| OK, what are we talking about here? | ||
| I mean, it's just this crazy, rambling diatribe that just means nothing. | ||
| They then just completely capitulated, and all of that meant nothing. | ||
| It's been a really bizarre exchange over the weekend. | ||
| This is Gustavo Petro posted this on X, saying something like, you know, I don't want to visit America. | ||
| It's so boring. | ||
| It's like, okay, what are we even talking about here? | ||
| What are we even talking about? | ||
| We're trying to send people back to your country because they're so desperate to come to America. | ||
| They're breaking our laws and committing crimes while they're here. | ||
| It's like, just stop talking trash about America. | ||
| It's not that hard, other countries. | ||
| We want to be friends with you. | ||
| We want to be allies. | ||
| We don't want to crush you completely through trade regulations. | ||
| But we absolutely will. | ||
| So, Trump's back in town. | ||
| T-Dog, as I call him. | ||
| I like calling him T-Dog. | ||
| Because it's a pretty gangsta move. | ||
| I have to say, pretty gangsta move of Donald Trump to win a trade war while golfing in a little under two hours. | ||
| Absolutely incredible stuff. | ||
| Also, this weekend, as we talked about in the Daily Dispatch, they found... | ||
| Between 75,000 and 80,000 of the over 300,000 missing migrant children. | ||
| We go down to clip number 17. | ||
| Here is Harris Faulkner on Fox News explaining exactly how this was carried out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We've seen, as you know, half a million children trafficked over a four-year period in the United States. | |
| This administration is going to investigate every instance of child trafficking, labor trafficking, sex trafficking, child smuggling, and all the attempted crimes involved in that. | ||
| And our message to everyone in the country is to cooperate fully with immigration and customs enforcement so that we can end the scourge of child trafficking and child abuse that has been endemic these last four years. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely incredible. | |
| Again, a shame that... | ||
| The Biden administration didn't care enough to do this before. | ||
| We can go now to clip number 13. This is Harris Faulkner explaining this on Fox News. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now, the second wave that Tom Holm and the boarders are for Trump has told me about in all of this will focus on those missing children, hundreds of thousands of them that we know. | |
| And that number has started to already come down, Emily, from 300,000. | ||
| So they've found about 75,000 to 80,000 of those kids already. | ||
| If they can get the list of these guys, four full days in office for Trump. | ||
| If they can get the list of where some of those kids have been and they've been identifying it, you know, since the election, going after them and trying to find those little ones, what in the world was Biden's administration doing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What was Secretary of Homeland, Mayorkas, doing when he said to the committees on Capitol Hill, we don't know where those kids are, I'll look into it. | |
| No, dude, you obviously had a better way to find them and you didn't do your job. | ||
| I can't believe they impeached him and didn't remove him. | ||
| We'll actually show you Mayorks' response to that exact question on the other side. | ||
| He basically said it's not his fault. | ||
| They handed the kids over to strangers and then washed their hands of it. | ||
| So, just absolutely astonishing stories over the weekend. | ||
| We'll get back into all of this. | ||
| The deportation raids are ramping up, and it's leaving some portions of America looking like ghost towns. | ||
| We'll show you that on the other side as well. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, this is the American Journal coming to you live this Monday morning. | ||
| We're talking about deportations and the finding of 75,000 to 80,000 kids out of the 300,000 that have gone missing over the last few years. | ||
| The Trump administration has already located about 75,000 to 80,000 of the approximately 300,000 migrant children who have gone missing. | ||
| Since illegally crossing the U.S. southern border under Joe Biden's term, according to reports, the numbers already started to come down. | ||
| They found about 75,000 to 80,000 of the 300,000 children. | ||
| In the last video we just watched, that Fox News anchor was asking how DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas could allow such a thing to occur. | ||
| Why couldn't they find all of these missing kids if it was so easy for the Trump administration to do in a matter of four days? | ||
| Then why didn't they do it? | ||
| And the answer is obviously because they didn't want to. | ||
| They didn't want to. | ||
| And this is maybe the most disturbing thing about it, is that they, for some reason, chose not to, like, you would think the way this would go was, you know, the Republicans would go, hey, there's 300,000 missing kids. | ||
| What are you doing about this? | ||
| And then the... | ||
| DHS, Mayorkas, or whoever would just scramble to prove them wrong and just go, oh, let's find them real quick. | ||
| Where are they? | ||
| Get the files. | ||
| Discover where they are so we can discredit this right-wing talking point. | ||
| We can say, no, we know where they are. | ||
| Look, we have them all right here. | ||
| Why wouldn't they do that? | ||
| Why is it more valuable to them to allow this You know, horrible headline to spread. | ||
| I mean, for months and months, we've been talking about 300,000 kids missing. | ||
| And it was 85,000 for, like, a couple years before that. | ||
| That was the official number. | ||
| And then it was revealed it was actually something like 300,000. | ||
| The whole time, they could have found them whenever they wanted, but they just genuinely didn't care. | ||
| Like, people were talking about this, complaining about it, and they literally thought it was fine to have this spread around. | ||
| They, like, yeah, we misplaced 300,000 kids. | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| Who cared? | ||
| We could find them. | ||
| We could disprove this number or at least lower the number by finding the kids, but they just didn't feel like it. | ||
| You really have to ask yourself why that is. | ||
| How could they be in a place where they could care so little about the outrage of the American people when we discovered this fact? | ||
| It's really astonishing. | ||
| We do have Alejandro Marquez himself answering this question. | ||
| Actually, let's go now to clip number nine. | ||
| Here's Alejandro Mayorkas last year talking about the 300-plus thousand missing children at the southern border and how it just wasn't his job. | ||
| Wasn't his job. | ||
| He's on break. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
ICE was also unable to account for more than 32,000 unaccompanied kids who failed to appear in court from 2019 to 2023, according to the report we read. | |
| The incoming border czar. | ||
| Tom Homan says these children are being exploited and trafficked. | ||
| Is that true? | ||
| Do you know? | ||
| Margaret, we certainly have received reports of children being trafficked. | ||
| Even those as to whom we know where they are, that is outside the responsibility of the Department of Homeland Security. | ||
| What we do is we turn children over within 72 hours, as the law requires, to the Department of Health and Human Services. | ||
| And then HHS places those children. | ||
| Of course, we investigate cases of trafficking. | ||
| But there are children who are reunited. | ||
| with a parent here in the United States or a legal guardian and they move and sometimes the government loses track. | ||
| Individuals do not comply with the reporting obligations. | ||
| I think it is inaccurate to say that all of them are trafficked or victimized. | ||
| There are a number of reasons why we might lose track of an individual. | ||
| That is not necessarily specific to this administration. | ||
| That has been a long-standing challenge in the immigration system. | ||
| One example of why that system is so broken. | ||
| Why the duration of time in proceedings is unacceptably long and has to be remedied. | ||
| Remember, we're dealing with a system that was last reformed in 1996. My gosh, the system has been reformed since... | ||
| It's probably because the system has been reformed since 1996. DHS says children being trafficked outside of its responsibility. | ||
| That's not our responsibility. | ||
| We gave the kids to some guy. | ||
| It's his responsibility now. | ||
| That's just absolutely insane. | ||
| And of course, at the end there, when he's like, this system has been reformed since 1996, kind of reminds you of the way they were like, hey, you know, we tried to pass the border bill, but Trump said not to pass it. | ||
| That's why the border's open. | ||
| And of course, Trump gets into office, and literally one minute later, there's police with... | ||
| Riot shields blocking the port of entry in El Paso. | ||
| Because it was never about passing a bill. | ||
| Just like, this has absolutely nothing to do with the system being reformed in a timely manner. | ||
| They're just choosing not to know where these kids are. | ||
| They're choosing not to look for them and find them. | ||
| It's... | ||
| Again, you gotta ask. | ||
| I mean, this was really bad PR for them. | ||
| It was really a boon for Trump. | ||
| Like, they could have... | ||
| Made themselves look good. | ||
| They could have actually found the children if they were, you know, at all had any sort of human inclination towards like empathy and concern for the people that are the children that are supposed to be their responsibility at any point. | ||
| They could have gotten rid of this talking point, could have saved the kids. | ||
| They could have done it. | ||
| Why would they not? | ||
| And I really don't have a good answer as to why they chose not to. | ||
| It must have just been that important for them to traffic these kids, I guess? | ||
| It's wild that they would choose to allow this to persist for so long, giving Trump such a great victory here this week. | ||
| What is the calculus they're running? | ||
| I genuinely can't. | ||
| Understand it. | ||
| Now, Kristi Noem, who was confirmed as Trump's DHS secretary on Saturday, said one of her top priorities will be achieving President Trump's mandate from the American people to secure our southern border and fix our broken immigration system. | ||
| The development begs the question, why did Mayorkas lie to Congress about the whereabouts of the missing children that were so quickly found under President Trump? | ||
| And that's the thing. | ||
| So much of what's happening over the last little while is proving that the Biden administration lackeys perjured themselves over and over and over again. | ||
| When Alejandro Mayorkas was called in front of Congress, he said he didn't know where these were and they were trying as hard as they could to find them. | ||
| That was a lie. | ||
| We know that's a lie because of how quickly they were found once President Trump put people to actually try to find them. | ||
| And then you've got things like the 51 spies who lie and the... | ||
| Hunter Biden laptop information or the claims about the CIA and the lab leak material. | ||
| All of these things have been testified to by Christopher Wray and any number of other people in front of Congress, and they've all perjured themselves. | ||
| They've all blatantly lied to our faces about this. | ||
| So where are the contempt of Congress charges? | ||
| Where are the perjury charges to these people? | ||
| Alejandro Mayorkas should be in prison. | ||
| He should be in prison. | ||
| Harris Faulkner on Fox is like, I don't understand how they couldn't convict this guy when they impeached him. | ||
| It's like, why is he not in jail? | ||
| At the very least, I mean, the misplacing of 300,000 kids is just one of a series of ridiculous crimes this guy has pulled off, including the opening of the border and the flooding of America with tens of millions of illegal immigrants. | ||
| He facilitated that entirely. | ||
| How is he not then responsible for all of the downstream crimes that we're discovering? | ||
| Completely insane. | ||
| It's just completely insane. | ||
| And these smug worms need to get what's coming to them, honestly. | ||
| Honestly. | ||
| Now, J.D. Vance went on an interview with some lady. | ||
| One of the Sunday shows, CBS, Dem activist Margaret Brennan, and absolutely eviscerated her over and over this weekend. | ||
| And a lot of it was about the immigration issue. | ||
| We'll go first to clip... | ||
| We'll go first to... | ||
| Let's go to clip number 19 first. | ||
| Can we do clip number 19? | ||
| Vice President J.D. Vance talking about how just because... | ||
| America was founded by people from across the sea. | ||
| It doesn't mean in 2024 or 2025 now we need to have the worst immigration system imaginable. | ||
| Let's go to clip number 19 now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, this is a country founded by immigrants. | |
| Well, this is a country founded by- This is a unique country. | ||
| This is a very unique country, and it was founded by some immigrants and some settlers. | ||
| But just because we were founded by immigrants doesn't mean that 240 years later that we have to have the dumbest immigration policy in the world. | ||
| Yes, that's a very good point. | ||
| Of course, I would also push back against the we are a nation founded by immigrants lie, because we are a nation not founded by immigrants, founded by immigrants. | ||
| Immigrants are people who come to a pre-existing country. | ||
| What our ancestors were were settlers who fought against the most brutal, natural, and human enemies. | ||
| To establish a thriving and functional government against all odds and at great expense to themselves. | ||
| To act like that's equivalent to some dude from Colombia getting on a plane and having his way paid entirely by NGOs and the UN to arrive here with a prepaid credit card and a free phone and a hotel to live in with 24-hour maid service. | ||
| It's not exactly the same. | ||
| So, let's not grant them that. | ||
| I hate when people, I hate when the right is like, no, we are a nation of immigrants. | ||
| It's like, eh. | ||
| Yeah, kinda, but not really. | ||
| But kinda, but not really. | ||
| And also, even in the times where there was a rash of immigration from overseas, the Ellis Island period. | ||
| Of course, it's ironic because the image that first pops into my mind is from The Godfather II of young Vito Corleone coming over. | ||
| And it's like even in that sort of mythical portrayal of the immigrant experience, like, oh, right, the career criminal, the criminal family kingpin that came over. | ||
| It might have looked nice, but even in that, the story is of a... | ||
| Well, a mob boss coming over, but that's okay. | ||
| But that's all right. | ||
| It was still nice. | ||
| And even in those times, there was no welfare state. | ||
| There was no ability to just hop back to Italy on a free flight at any moment. | ||
| These were people who left their old lives behind, never to return, to fully immerse themselves, to become American, and to start participating in the American experiment in a full-fledged sort of way. | ||
| Meanwhile, maybe we'll go to some of these videos now, there are massive protests breaking out all over the United States of illegal immigrants waving Mexican flags while protesting deportations. | ||
| It's actually kind of simple. | ||
| If you are an American marching against deportations, that's a protest. | ||
| The Mexican flag, you're not protesting anything. | ||
| You are engaged in a show of force as an occupier and an invader and an enemy. | ||
| It's not a protest. | ||
| You can't protest in a country you don't belong to waving your country's flag. | ||
| That's a show of force. | ||
| That's an invasion. | ||
| It's an act of war. | ||
| I mean, what is even the... | ||
| What is the strategy here? | ||
| How are they doing this? | ||
| What type of people protest deportations by waiving the country that they're protesting being deported to? | ||
| If it's such a bad thing to be sent back to Mexico, why are you waiving a Mexican flag? | ||
| Is this really that difficult? | ||
| They should be deported regardless of their immigration status for what a stupid thing they're doing here. | ||
| We don't need people like this in our country. | ||
| We don't want them in our country, and they shouldn't be in our country. | ||
| Waving a Mexican flag, chanting we're not going anywhere in America, it just, it's baffling. | ||
| It just makes no sense any way that you look at it. | ||
| So they should all be violently arrested, if necessary. | ||
| If necessary. | ||
| Just absolutely insane. | ||
| Let's go now to... | ||
| Clip number 20, again, J.D. Vance asked about the illegal immigration system and just absolutely bodies Margaret Brennan, who's desperately trying to downplay the danger of the illegal immigration system being completely wide open and totally taken advantage of. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
When you talked to us in August, you said, I don't think we should abandon anybody who's been properly vetted and helped us. | |
| Do you stand by that? | ||
| Well, Margaret, I don't agree that all these immigrants or all these refugees have been properly vetted. | ||
| In fact, we know that there are cases of people who allegedly were properly vetted and then were literally planning terrorist attacks on our country. | ||
| That happened during the campaign, if you may remember. | ||
| So clearly not all of these foreign nationals have been properly vetted. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, but there are 30,000 people in the pipeline. | |
| Afghan refugees. | ||
| But my primary concern as the Vice President, Margaret, is to look after the American people. | ||
| And now that we know that we have vetting problems with a lot of these refugee programs, we absolutely cannot unleash thousands of unvetted people into our country. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's not good. | |
| These people are vetted. | ||
| Just like the guy who planned a terrorist attack in Oklahoma a few months ago, he was allegedly properly vetted. | ||
| And many people in the media and the Democratic Party said that he was properly vetted. | ||
| Clearly he wasn't. | ||
| I don't want my children to share a neighborhood with people who are not properly vetted. | ||
| And because I don't want it for my kids, I'm not going to force any other American citizens' kids to do that either. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, and that was a very particular case. | |
| It wasn't clear if he was radicalized when he got here or... | ||
| While he was living there. | ||
| I don't really care, Margaret. | ||
| I don't want that person in my country. | ||
| And I think most Americans agree with me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We'll be back in one minute with more of our interview with Vice President Vance. | |
| I'll be destroyed even further by J.D. Vance in one minute after this short break. | ||
| Watch this commercial for a pharmaceutical company or something that will give you cancer. | ||
| And then we'll return to J.D. Vance absolutely smashing my face with a hammer, metaphorically. | ||
| Absolutely incredible stuff from J.D. Vance. | ||
| Again, I mean, they have nothing. | ||
| These people have nothing. | ||
| Well, he was properly vetted. | ||
| The guy caught a terrorist attack. | ||
| And they tried to do this like, well, he could have been radicalized here. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| And that's the big meme that's come out of this disappearance by J.D. Vance. | ||
| I just don't care, Margaret. | ||
| I don't care of your little quibbles. | ||
| He shouldn't be in this country. | ||
| I don't want that person in my country. | ||
| And, of course, he actually shows empathy for the American people by saying, I don't want my kids in my neighborhood to deal with this, so I don't want anybody's kids in any neighborhood to deal with this, showing just a shocking level of empathy for the American people, something completely devoid from the Democrats living in their gated communities and not caring a single bit that maybe your child's classroom is now filled with people that... | ||
| Don't speak the language of the teacher or your students and are having their educational experience completely hampered and crippled by the necessity of dealing with this massive influx of illegal foreign students. | ||
| In fact that's another issue that came up this weekend. | ||
| With a Texas teacher inviting ICE to raid his school, saying, quote, I have many students who don't even speak English. | ||
| A Texas substitute teacher has come under fire after inviting immigration and customs enforcement officers to raid his school because his students don't even speak English. | ||
| Ford Worth Independent School District officials launched an investigation after the substitute teacher responded to a post by ICE on social media, giving an update on arrest for January 23rd. | ||
| The teacher, who was not publicly identified but had the ex-username Hookum232, called for agents to, quote, come to Fort Worth, Texas to Northside High School. | ||
| I have many students who don't speak English and they're in 10th and 11th grade. | ||
| They have to communicate through their iPhone translator with me. | ||
| The U.S. Department of Education should totally overhaul our school system in Texas, too, the post added. | ||
| Yes, and he's receiving massive backlash and is now being investigated for suggesting that the police enforce. | ||
| Crime prevention measures? | ||
| Like, what is the problem here? | ||
| What is the problem? | ||
| Well, the real problem, the actual problem, if you care about anything, is that students in American schools are having to share a classroom with people that don't even speak a tiny little bit of English and are using translator apps. | ||
| It's just, can you imagine? | ||
| Can you imagine? | ||
| I mean, high school is... | ||
| Insane enough already when everybody speaks English and is from this country. | ||
| It's just absolutely wild. | ||
| And apparently, apparently, something like 40% of the Fort Worth school system is now illegal immigrants. | ||
| 40% is the number that I've heard in Oilfield Rando on X has covered this and shown The massive amount of money that Fort Worth in particular and organizations in Fort Worth have received to resettle illegal migrants. | ||
| If you search Catholic Charities Fort Worth from Rando Land underscore US on X, you get just the unfathomable amounts of money that were handed over to these people. | ||
| I forgot we don't have my laptop hooked in quite yet, so I can't show you that. | ||
| But just go find Oilfield Rando on X, and he'll lay it down for you. | ||
| More than 6 in 10 students in Fort Worth ISD are Latino. | ||
| Nearly 40% of the districts, more than 70,000 students, are enrolled in bilingual or English as second language classes. | ||
| Meaning that they're using up even more resources than a normal student in depriving your children of an ability to be educated in the most convenient and effective way possible. | ||
| They should all be arrested. | ||
| But J.D. Vance in this interview had some more incredible things to say beyond just the immigration issue. | ||
| Clip number seven here, J.D. Vance methodically explained to Margaret Bannon why the supposedly conservative outlets that are criticizing Trump aren't actually conservative and we don't actually care what they say anymore. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The Wall Street Journal and the National Review, conservative publications, as you know, have been critical of Tulsi Gabbard. | |
| The Review called her an atrocious nominee who deserves to be defeated. | ||
| They compared her defense of Edward Snowden, the fugitive, who stole U.S. secrets, to an attorney general who thinks the mob gets a bad rap. | ||
| Her refusal to accept U.S. intelligence findings that Assad gassed his own people, they said, was like a nominee for OMB director not being able to count. | ||
| Does any of this give you pause? | ||
| Putting her in charge of the U.S. intelligence community. | ||
| Yes or no? | ||
| No, look, these are publications that attacked Donald J. Trump obsessively, but those publications don't determine who the president is, the American people too. | ||
| And Donald J. Trump is the person who determines who his cabinet is, not these publications that I think frankly have lost relevance. | ||
| The Senate will ultimately decide. | ||
| Well the Senate will provide advice and consent as is its constitutional obligation, but I feel confident that Tulsi Gabbard will ultimately get through. | ||
| Two things that are important to know about Tulsi. | ||
| First of all, she's a career military servant who's had a classification at the highest levels for nearly two decades. | ||
| She has impeccable character, impeccable record of service. | ||
| And she also is a person who I think is going to bring some trust back to the intelligence services. | ||
| The bureaucrats at our intelligence services have gotten completely out of control. | ||
| They've been part of the weaponization of our political system, the weaponization of our justice system. | ||
| We need to have good intelligence services who keep us safe. | ||
| But part of that is restoring trust in those services. | ||
| And we think Tulsi is the right person to do it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She doesn't trust those intelligence services. | |
| She recognizes that bureaucrats have gotten out of control. | ||
| And we need somebody there who's going to rein them in and return those services to their core mission of identifying information that's going to keep us safe. | ||
| So, of course, that had to do with Tulsi Gabbard being smeared. | ||
| Yeah, a lot of interesting faces from old Margaret Brennan during this whole interchange. | ||
| She's really putting on a show. | ||
| Putting on a show for her. | ||
| Leftist audience. | ||
| Why don't conservative outlets want Tulsi Gabbard? | ||
| Why is CBS News carrying water for the conservative outlets? | ||
| All of these things should be sparking very important questions in you. | ||
| And the two examples she uses to try to discredit Tulsi Gabbard is that she liked what Edward Snowden did, which who doesn't? | ||
| I mean, the idea that Edward Snowden is some sort of villain, it's like literally nobody outside of the intelligence community believes that. | ||
| Absolutely nobody thinks Edward Snowden is anything other than a hero who took massive risks to expose the criminality of our government. | ||
| And by the way, Trump should pardon him too. | ||
| By the way, where's the pardon for him, Mr. Trump, Mr. President Trump? | ||
| Let's pardon Edward Snowden. | ||
| While we're at it, although we may have to wait until after the Ukraine war to deal with that just because he's in Russia right now, and that would be something that they could use to negotiate. | ||
| More on the other side from J.D. Vance, absolutely destroying Margaret Brennan. | ||
| Stay tuned. | ||
| Don't go anywhere. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right, welcome back, folks. | |
| We're going to continue to check out some of the responses from J.D. Vance during his interview with Margaret Brennan yesterday because it ties into some of what Joe Biden did at the end of his term. | ||
| We'll get back to that in the next segment, and we'll move on. | ||
| We're going to talk about DeepSeek and exactly what that open AI killer is on the other side and how China lapped American... | ||
| I want to take a quick moment before we move totally from the topic of mass deportations and the activity of the Trump administration in its first week. | ||
| First of all, there's video after video like this. | ||
| Clip number one. | ||
| Home Depot in Chicago filmed open during business hours. | ||
| But completely empty. | ||
| Let's go to that now. | ||
| It's totally empty. | ||
| We probably pulled out the audio. | ||
| But this is a Home Depot in Chicago. | ||
| That looks like a ghost town. | ||
| There's nobody there. | ||
| There's absolutely nobody there. | ||
| And apparently this is because there's immigration raids going on. | ||
| But there's so many posts like this. | ||
| Other posts I've seen of... | ||
| Like bread factories in Idaho, where the parking lot is totally empty because all of the workers were illegal. | ||
| It's finally becoming clear, I think, just how many illegal immigrants are truly in this country. | ||
| I've said before, I think it's definitely above 50 million. | ||
| It might be as high as 100 million by this point. | ||
| I mean, it's pretty unimaginable. | ||
| Some of these places where the stores are typically packed to the gills, and yet they're completely empty. | ||
| Is illegal in this entire neighborhood? | ||
| It's completely crazy. | ||
| Colony Ridge in Texas, down just outside of Houston, is the illegal immigrant community that they're building. | ||
| That apparently has now been raided by ICE. Because, again, there's a bit of a serendipitous thing where, because they've been so blatant and egregious in their violation of American law over the last four years, it's very easy to find them now. | ||
| They're all gathered and just out in the open. | ||
| Borders are Tom Homan is actually personally participating in the roundup of illegal immigrants. | ||
| Here's him rounding up a child rapist from Thailand in Chicago. | ||
|
unidentified
|
clip number two here what's your name Tato Tato what you have a personal name Sam Tato Sam yes where you from where I was born or where I'm from where you born Thailand. | |
| You've been deported before from the United States? | ||

| Are you a citizen? | ||

No, I've seen Dr. Phil, you know, on TV. Yeah? | |
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Well, this is an example of sanctuary cities, right? | ||
| That's Tom Homan and Dr. Phil actually on the ground helping to participate in the Roundup of criminal illegal aliens. | ||
| This guy from Thailand living in Chicago. | ||
| I thought we'd be able to move, but I forgot we got even more from here. | ||
| Quickly, here in the last couple seconds of this segment, let's go to clip number 10. Mexico flags everywhere protesting ICE, immigration, raids, and deportation. | ||
| I believe this is somewhere in Arizona. | ||
| We can just roll this as B-roll. | ||
| These next three clips as B-roll. | ||
| Here's the protest in Arizona with everybody waving the Mexican flag and saying we're not going anywhere. | ||
| We'll go to clip number 11. This is in Dallas. | ||
| More migrants marching against deportation with the Mexican flag. | ||
| And clip number 12, people in Arkansas out with Mexico flags protesting mass deportations. | ||
| Why are they waving the Mexican flag? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Welcome back, folks. | |
| Again, we've got a lot of other stuff to cover today other than the deportations. | ||
| That is the big story over the weekend, and I want to stick to it for a little while longer. | ||
| But we're still going to talk about Deep Seek and... | ||
| I'd love to get to what's happening in the Middle East with the Israeli-Gaza ceasefire and the return of Palestinians to the piles of rubble that were once their homes and more to talk about. | ||
| But sticking with deportation, something very interesting is happening. | ||
| And it's that we have the initiative. | ||
| We are on the offense. | ||
| They're having to play defense. | ||
| And while that's an obvious thing for me to say, the implications of that in terms of how this topic is being discussed are very massive and, again, very interesting. | ||
| See, when they're in charge, it's very easy for them to pretend like they're doing everything they can and, you know, justify their failure of action, like we just saw from Alejandro Mayorkas. | ||
| Just, you know, they can... | ||
| You know, reference a bureaucratic protocol and act like that's just tying their hands and there's nothing. | ||
| We would be deporting them, but gosh, that's just not in our purview and Congress needs to pass it. | ||
| They could have all these excuses they want to come up with why they aren't just doing their job. | ||
| Now that Tom Homan is in charge, now that Trump is back in office and they just are deporting these people, they are rounding up the criminals, they are finding the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of missing children. | ||
| The Democrats don't really have anything to say. | ||
| There's nothing they can say about it. | ||
| What are they going to complain about? | ||
| We're deporting criminals. | ||
| So they're scrambling to try to frame this in a way that sounds bad, but it's not bad. | ||
| It's good. | ||
| So there's really nothing they can do. | ||
| Again, it's not even a subtle change. | ||
| It's like they have nothing now. | ||
| And we're previously... | ||
|
unidentified
|
They can sit there and go, we don't have the resources and we're doing the best we can with what we've got and we're just trying our best. | |
| It's not working. | ||
| Meanwhile, they're just like twiddling their thumbs and just sitting back allowing it all to happen. | ||
| Now that it's actually happening, they're trying to frame it as if it's bad, but they just have nothing to say that discredits what the policy is being pursued. | ||
| They just have no valid complaints. | ||
| And so they really... | ||
| And they're just being absolutely destroyed, whether it's Margaret Brennan being just absolutely eviscerated by J.D. Vance or Dana Bash being destroyed by Tom Homan. | ||
| They really are desperately stretching, reaching to try to find something to complain about. | ||
| And they just, it's embarrassing. | ||
| It's embarrassing for all of us to have to watch this. | ||
| So here's Tom Homan, absolutely destroying. | ||
| Dana Bash, she really tries to discredit what they're doing, but there's no way to discredit it. | ||
| They're deporting criminals. | ||
| This is great. | ||
| They're finding missing children. | ||
| Who is going to complain about that? | ||
| It really exposes the methods that were being used previously by the Democrats to not do this by acting like it was impossible. | ||
| It's an interesting development in the information war, and this is what happens when you're on the offense, when you have... | ||
| As they put it in the Navy, the weather gauge, how they used to put it 200 years ago, when the wind drove ships, the person with the weather gauge, they were the one that decided when the attack would commence. | ||
| They're the ones on the offense. | ||
| They're the ones with the initiative. | ||
| That's us now. | ||
| The Democrats are not used to being in this position. | ||
| Let's watch Tom Homan. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How many deportations? | |
| Do you think that you can carry out this year? | ||
| Last year, for example, the Biden administration did deport about 270,000 people, which is the most since 2014. I know you said ICE has not been doing its job, but there have been a lot of deportations. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What's going to happen coming up? | |
| That is not accurate. | ||
| The Biden administration is hiding the numbers. | ||
| If you look at those removal numbers, over 80% were Border Patrol apprehensions on the border that were immediately removed. | ||
| They weren't ICE removals. | ||
| If you look at what ICE has done in the interior of the United States under four years of President Biden, they have the lowest number of removals in the history of the agency, despite a historic illegal crisis on the southern border. | ||
| So they can claim 240,000 whatever removals. | ||
| That's simply not the fact. | ||
| And under the Trump administration, were there fewer removals? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And why was that? | ||
| Because we secured the border. | ||
| We weren't releasing millions of people in the United States to have to go find and remove. | ||
| So it doesn't matter how many people were deported. | ||
| It's how many people were released in this country. | ||
| And millions were released into this country by the Biden administration that were not released by the Trump administration. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I just want to be clear. | |
| I'm not obviously getting these numbers out of thin air. | ||
| They are coming from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency. | ||
| You're saying that they're giving us false information? | ||
| Where do those removals come from? | ||
| And they're not interior ICE removals. | ||
| Eighty percent of those removals are arrested by Border Patrol. | ||
| So ICE didn't make the arrest, Border Patrol did. | ||
| And they were removed by ICE on the southern border. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Understood. | |
| You told my colleague Caitlin Collins in December that you didn't know how many people you're going to depart because you didn't know the resources that you would have. | ||
| How much money do you... | ||
| And I understand that you... | ||
| You've been in this job now for a matter of hours, but you've been working on it ahead of time for a long time. | ||
| Do you know how much money you're going to need from Congress to carry this out? | ||
| Look, I've been working with members of Congress and the whole team's been working on them to come up with a number that makes sense. | ||
| But like I've said many times, we're going to use whatever money we have and do the most efficient operation we can. | ||
| The more money we have, the more we can do. | ||
| And I think this election proves that the American people support the removals. | ||
|

|
One of the president's executive orders suspends the U.S. refugee program, and that action could leave about 2,000 Afghans in limbo who were previously approved to resettle in the U.S., and that includes families of U.S. service members. | |
| Why shouldn't those people be allowed to come in the U.S. and stay as refugees? | ||
| Look, we need to secure the border. | ||
| We need to stop the bleeding, right? | ||
| We can keep bailing the water out of the boat, but we've got to plug those holes. | ||
| So right now, it's all about securing this nation, securing the border, and we'll address that in the coming days. | ||
| But right now, we're going to shut that border down and get a hold of this problem. | ||
| What's happening on our border is the biggest national security vulnerability I've seen in my career, and I've got over 35 years doing this. | ||
| We need to take action to secure the border, and we'll discuss the other policies down the road. | ||
| But right now, it's all about securing the border and saving lives. | ||
| So again, they're trying to frame this as if it's – they're really stretching, aren't they? | ||
| I mean it's like, well, Afghan members, like service members, families, like what are they even talking about? | ||
| They're scrambling. | ||
| They're desperate. | ||
| They're flailing. | ||
| It's just not working. | ||
| Now, what they did mention there was Congress is going to have to fund the deportation movement. | ||
| Again, there are better ways to do this. | ||
| Self-deportation should be the – Goal by putting pressure on the immigrants that are here in order to say, don't make us do this. | ||
| We shouldn't have to go one by one and go round these people up and ship them. | ||
| They got here themselves. | ||
| They should take themselves away. | ||
| And honestly, the NGOs that brought them here should probably have all of their resources confiscated and then used towards this end anyway. | ||
| But I would like to see more pressure put on the immigrants themselves to deport themselves. | ||
| Rather than making us do that, that would be easy to do, just cut off their benefits. | ||
| But they talk about needing this money from Congress. | ||
| The way that New York Times put this is, Trump's second week tests influence over Congress with agenda and cabinet picks, saying Trump's second week will test his influence over Congress. | ||
| I disagree. | ||
| I disagree. | ||
| This is Congress being tested as to whether or not it has learned the lessons that the American people have been trying to teach it over the last four years. | ||
| This is not a test of whether Donald Trump can get Congress to do what he wants. | ||
| It's a test of whether Congress is fit for purpose anymore. | ||
| Everybody knows that Trump won in a landslide. | ||
| He won by promising the things that he's now delivering on. | ||
| It's up to Congress. | ||
| To come around to Trump, it's a test for Trump to have to fulfill something for Congress. | ||
| Trump is the one who won. | ||
| Trump is the one who the American people put into office to do what he's doing now. | ||
| It's a test of Congress as to whether they want to pardon this or they want to be a barrier to the success that Trump is already having. | ||
| OK, so says President Trump, fresh off a slew of executive orders made at the point of a Sharpie, turns his week to wooing, cajoling and strong arming members of the legislative branch to get behind his agenda and cabinet picks. | ||
| Many of those plans rely on the support of the majority Republicans in Congress who face narrow margins in both chambers. | ||
| A few members in the House and Senate have shown an inclination to vote against or at least complain about the most extreme of Trump's actions. | ||
| Trump can't afford for more than a handful to oppose him. | ||
| Any lawmaker considering breaking ranks will be confronting a new emboldened president. | ||
| Again, not a test of Trump. | ||
| Not a test of that Trump has to meet, you know, some threshold to pass the test. | ||
| No, this is a test of Congress as to whether they want to participate in the success he's already having. | ||
| But again, all of this is about, you know. | ||
| Framing it and trying to regain some of the initiative that Trump has stolen from the left. | ||
| We can go through exactly what Trump has issued outside of deportations in just a second, but I do want to go to a video now, again, of J.D. Vance from his Sunday show appearance with Margaret Brennan. | ||
| And there's an interesting story I'll get to after this clip that relates to this clip. | ||
| But this is about the blanket pardon of the January 6th defendants. | ||
| There's another thing. | ||
| I don't know if I printed out the story or not. | ||
| I thought maybe I did. | ||
| Yeah, I think it's under politics because this is hilarious and it associates to all of this. | ||
| Oh no, I didn't put it in there. | ||
| I'll find it in just a second. | ||
| But basically it's asking if Congress – basically Democrats are like, Criticize the January 6th pardons. | ||
| And it's like, why? | ||
| But it's already done. | ||
| Might as well criticize the sun coming up in the morning. | ||
| There's nothing you can do about it. | ||
| The left has been reduced to just desperately trying to claw something out of the success that Trump has had. | ||
| Glean some sort of victory out of the relentless failure they've been experiencing. | ||
| For the last little while. | ||
| And it's very funny. | ||
| And it's very funny to see them try to do this. | ||
| Here's the clip of J.D. Vance. | ||
| We'll talk about presidential pardons on the other side. | ||
| Here's J.D. Vance responding to the question about the January 6th partners. | ||
| Again, with this leftist who has absolutely nothing but is desperate to try to get some sort of political victory out of this Trump victory. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||

Two weeks ago you were on Fox News and you said if you protested peacefully on January 6th and had Merrick Garland's Department of Justice treat you like a gang member, you should be pardoned. | |
| If you committed violence on that day, obviously you shouldn't be pardoned. | ||
| Did you counsel the president against these blanket? | ||
| Margaret, I noticed that you cut off the thing that I said immediately after that. | ||
| The full quote is that, of course, there are gray areas. | ||
| And here's the nature of the gray area. | ||
| Merrick Garland's Department of Justice denied constitutional protections in the prosecutions. | ||
| There were double standards in how sentences were applied to the J6 protesters versus other groups. | ||
| What the president said consistently on the campaign is that he was going to look at a case-by-case basis. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is blank. | |
| And that's exactly what we did. | ||
| We looked at 1,600 cases. | ||
| And the thing that came out of it, Margaret, is that there was a massive denial of due process of liberty. | ||
| And a lot of people were denied their constitutional rights. | ||
| The president believes that. | ||
| I believe that. | ||
| And I think he made the right decision. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Daniel Rodriguez used an electroshock weapon against a policeman who was dragged out of the defensive line by plunging it into the officer's neck. | |
| He was in prison, sentenced to 12 years, seven months. | ||
| He got a pardon. | ||
| Ronald McAbee hit a cop while wearing reinforced brass knuckle gloves, and he held one down on the ground as other rioters assailed the officer for over 20 seconds, causing a concussion. | ||
| If you stand with law enforcement, how can you call these people unjustly imprisoned? | ||
| Margaret, you're separating. | ||
| There's an important issue here. | ||
| There's what the people actually did on January the 6th, and we're not saying that everybody did everything perfectly. | ||
| And then what did Merrick Garland's Department of Justice do in unjustly prosecuting well over a thousand Americans in a way that was politically motivated? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is violence like that against a police officer ever justified? | |
| Violence against a police officer is not justified, but that doesn't mean that you should have Merrick Garland's weaponized Department of Justice expose you to incredibly unfair process, to denial of constitutional rights, and frankly, to a double standard that was not applied to many people, including, of course, the Black Lives Matter rioters who killed over two dozen people and never had the weight of a weaponized Department of Justice come the Black Lives Matter rioters who killed over two dozen people and | ||
| The pardon power is not just for people who are angels or people who are perfect. | ||
| And of course, we love our law enforcement and want people to be peaceful with everybody, but especially with our good cops. | ||
| That's a separate issue from what Merrick Garland's Department of Justice did. | ||
| We rectified a wrong, and I stand by it. | ||
| Absolutely brilliant by J.D. Vance. | ||
| Again, it's hilarious that people were doubting J.D. Vance when he was first announced as vice presidential candidate. | ||
| He has been pretty much perfect, pretty much exactly what we've needed this entire time, a well-spoken spokesman for the Trump administration. | ||
| Who will not back down, won't give an inch, but can calmly and rationally explain why the left are evil hypocrites. | ||
| It's beautiful. | ||
| It's a beautiful thing to see. | ||
| Now, ironically, they're talking about the blanket pardons of January 6th as if they're bad. | ||
| Of course, J.D. Vance has a perfect response. | ||
| I don't need to relitigate that. | ||
| You just heard it. | ||
| But at the same time, you have Joe Biden issuing blanket pardons. | ||
| For a bunch of violent criminals, including child murderers. | ||
| And this story came out this weekend. | ||
| Max Mayer on X posted this. | ||
| So Biden's staff did not double check the ACLU's list of nonviolent drug offenders. | ||
| And they ended up giving clemency to a drug lord in Connecticut who murdered an eight-year-old boy and his mother to stop them from testifying against him. | ||
| Senator Blumenthal said someone dropped the ball. | ||
| This was a really vicious murder that changed our laws. | ||
| And now that guy's out because of these blanket pardons. | ||
| Relatives of an eight-year-old boy and his mother who were murdered by a Connecticut drug gang are outraged. | ||
| The man convicted in the killings was one of nearly 2,500 people whose drug-related prison sentences were commuted by former President Joe Biden in his last days in office. | ||
| Adrian Peeler. | ||
| Served a 20-year state prison sentence for murder conspiracy in the 1999 shootings of L. Roy B.J. Brown and his mother Karen Clark in Bridgeport. | ||
| Killings that shocked the city and led to improvements in state witness protection. | ||
| Prosecutors said Brown and his mother were assassinated to prevent the child from testifying in another murder case. | ||
| In December 2021, Peeler finished his state sentence and began serving a 15-year term in federal prison for dealing large amounts of crack cocaine. | ||
| That federal sentence should have kept him behind bars until 2033. He's now set to be released in July. | ||
| Senator Richard Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat who was the state attorney general when Brown and his mother were killed, said somebody dropped the ball in Peeler's clemency. | ||
| He and other political leaders in Connecticut, including Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim, criticized the commutation. | ||
| Quote, this was a really vicious murder that changed our laws, Blumenthal said in a statement. | ||
| It also highlights how we need to take a look at the pardon system to see how it can be improved. | ||
| Oh, again, it's the system. | ||
| It's just so convenient for the Democrats. | ||
| Nothing's ever their fault. | ||
| It's never their fault. | ||
| Alejandro Mayorkas lets in hundreds of thousands of migrants, hundreds of thousands of kids go missing. | ||
| It's the system. | ||
| We need to reform this system. | ||
| Even though as soon as somebody else is in charge, the system... | ||
| It doesn't allow for that. | ||
| Turns out the system is only as good as the people who operate the system. | ||
| And in that case, the people operating the system facilitated the criminal abduction and sex trafficking of hundreds of thousands of innocent children. | ||
| In this case, it's not the pardon system that needs reform. | ||
| It's the fact that Joe Biden pardoned a murderer because he didn't double check the list that was given him by the ACLU, who are themselves. | ||
| Good for nothing but letting out criminals. | ||
| It's the system. | ||
| It's always the system when it's the Democrats. | ||
| Anytime the Democrats do anything wrong and get caught, they act like the whole... | ||
| It's the Harvey Weinstein defense is what it is. | ||
| It's you get caught running a casting couch and raping and intimidating and manipulating and blackmailing infinite numbers of young actresses. | ||
| And it can't just be Harvey Weinstein's fault. | ||
| It's men. | ||
| It's all men. | ||
| It's the American culture, and it's all men, and it's every office everywhere in America has to suddenly be deluged with sexual harassment information because it can't just be that you're evil people. | ||
| It's that the system is wrong and has to be corrected, and we all have to be punished for it. | ||
| No, it's just you. | ||
| It's just you people. | ||
| And it doesn't matter. | ||
| We can't have a system that can guard against all possibility of devious little scumbags using it to commit evil. | ||
| But when that happens, you have to put those little scumbags in jail as an example to the other little scumbags as what happens when you take advantage to vulnerabilities in our system. | ||
| But it's just very typical. | ||
| Very typical when it comes to pardoning the January Sixers. | ||
| It's, well, this one guy happened to maybe hit a, apparently hit a cop at one point. | ||
| So really, should he have done these blanket pardons? | ||
| Is that not a bad thing to do? | ||
| And then when it's, oh, well, Joe Biden pardoned a person who murdered a child so they could get away with another crime, murdered a child so they wouldn't testify against them in another horrific crime they were involved in. | ||
| It's, well, yeah, this pardon system just has to be reformed. | ||
| We have to take a look at this whole pardon system that allowed this to happen. | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| And again, this is all as a consequence of the fact that we're in power now and Donald Trump is actually doing things that put the Democrats on the back feet and have them scrambling to try to justify their outrageous behavior over the last four years. | ||
| They're not the ones setting the tone anymore. | ||
| They're not the ones doing things that are forcing us to respond to it. | ||
| They're being exposed on every level. | ||
| And they will continue to be. | ||
| And I just hope that people can see through these ridiculous strategies they have to try to avoid accountability when it is in fact their fault. | ||
| They are in fact evil people doing evil things and just getting away with it up until now. | ||
| There's nothing wrong with our system. | ||
| It's the people who are in charge of our system who need to be drawn and quartered politically. | ||
| They need to be hung by the neck until dead, theoretically, peacefully, politically. | ||
| Say Senator Stephen Harding, the Republican minority leader, called the clemency a slap in the face to all Connecticut victims of violent crime and their families. | ||
| Peeler's lawyer, Michael Brown, declined to comment on the clemency. | ||
| He said Peeler has worked hard to rehabilitate himself in prison and is a different person than he was a quarter century ago. | ||
| Well, good for him. | ||
| Well, no, good for him. | ||
| I'm glad. | ||
| He should stay in jail, though, forever. | ||
| And honestly, he should maybe just be executed as well. | ||
| I hate that we have to support these guys for like 50 years. | ||
| Tell you what, if you kill an 8-year-old kid because he was going to testify against you in another crime that you were being tried for, I think, you know, for selling cocaine, I think you just... | ||
| I think we need a three-strike rule, but it should be two strikes and then you should just be killed. | ||
| I think that's how we should do it. | ||
| I mean, the fact that now there are phrases like eight-time felon, 18-time felon, 17-time felon, that's not a phrase that should exist in the English language. | ||
| Eight-time felon, I mean, what... | ||
| What type of country are you running where somebody can be convicted of a felony over and over and over again? | ||
| I think two-time felon should be the maximum time felon we ever have to deal with. | ||
| Three-time felon should be means they're dead. | ||
| Welcome back. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, this is the American Journal. | ||
| I'm your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
| Coming to you live this morning, Monday, January 27th, 2025. Before we move on to other stuff Trump has gotten up to and that has just happened under Trump's new administration, like the CIA releasing the fact that we've all known for four years at this point that the COVID virus came from a lab. | ||
| We'll get to that in just a second. | ||
| On a final note as to illegal immigration, some very disturbing footage has come out. | ||
| That might not be the right way to put it. | ||
| Somebody discovered on Google Maps a certain area in Los Angeles where there's apparently desperate messages scrawled on the ground for anybody flying overhead to see looking like the classic, you know, cartoon of somebody stranded on an island spelling out help in coconut fronds, you know, palm tree fronds or whatever. | ||
| I don't really know what to make of this. | ||
| It's extremely suspicious, and I'll show you some videos. | ||
| There's lots of videos of this because it's still on Google Maps, and anybody can go and find it, so people are just screen capturing what they see on this. | ||
| And yeah, let's go ahead and go to these videos. | ||
| So there's a train yard, and just about a block away, you have this sort of junkyard-looking place with help spelled out on the ground. | ||
| In a variety of different ways with the word traffico put down and other words spelled out in, I guess, train track ties. | ||
| That says terrorismo, so like, you know, the word terrorism in Spanish. | ||
| The word terrorism in Spanish, the word traffic in Spanish, and then the word help in English spelled out in big letters for anybody overhead. | ||
| To see. | ||
| Now, one thing about Google Maps is not all of the images are totally up to date. | ||
| Sometimes you'll find images from years ago, but this is video of somebody there on the ground who is looking at the railroad ties right there. | ||
| You know, saw this video, thought, oh, well, that's not too far from where I live. | ||
| I'll go check it out. | ||
| Came and checked it out. | ||
| And of course, there's homeless camps around there. | ||
| I guess I have a lot of questions about this. | ||
| I mean, for one thing, if this is human trafficking victims trying to signal for help, that's like a lot of work. | ||
| Have you ever tried to move a railroad tie? | ||
| You need, like, a machine to do it. | ||
| They're very heavy. | ||
| They're soaked in tar. | ||
| They're big chunks of wood, you know, the size of this table. | ||
| It's not something that, like, a, you know, a captive can just, like, really quickly... | ||
| Right out while their captor isn't looking. | ||
| So part of me is kind of suspicious of this, going, who's writing giant help signs on the ground for airplanes to see? | ||
| Especially if they're just right by a busy road, just like, I don't know, throw rocks at cars, and somebody will stop and draw attention to you, and then you can get attention on that. | ||
| So I don't really know what to make of this. | ||
| It's a little bit strange. | ||
| I think we just played clip 8, right? | ||
| Let's play clip 16 now. | ||
| Rumors are circulating. | ||
| These coordinates in L.A. after the word help was discovered written in the dirt dozens of times. | ||
| Let's go to this video now. | ||
| So again, we have the coordinates there that are available for anybody to see. | ||
| There's the word help. | ||
| A bunch of different times. | ||
| The word traffico. | ||
| Again, the word help written in these railroad ties all over the place. | ||
| Pretty freaky. | ||
| It's right there in LA. And again, everybody shows just how close this is to a giant rail yard with a bunch of containers on rail. | ||
| So it would be a very convenient place if you were using the rail system to traffic people. | ||
| That is where you'd use them. | ||
| Most interesting, perhaps, about this is the fact that people have put the Google Maps view in the 3D view. | ||
| And they're seeing that some of the what appear to be dumpsters at first viewing in the 3D view appear to be entrances to tunnels. | ||
| And so if we go to clip three here, this person posted this saying, definitely weird at first. | ||
| I thought it was a dumpster, but in 3D view, you can clearly see a ladder. | ||
| So let's go to that video now. | ||
| So here's clip three, and it looks like a dumpster. | ||
| At first. | ||
| And you'll see it here. | ||
| So there's a thing that kind of looks like a dumpster, but also kind of looks like a hole in the ground. | ||
| Kind of hard to tell what it is from this 2D view. | ||
| So they put it in 3D view, and you can clearly see there's a ladder down underground into something. | ||
| So clearly whatever this location is, where they have a bunch of, you know, old railroad ties piled up. | ||
| Has some sort of entrance to an underground facility of one sort or another. | ||
| So hopefully that'll be looked into by authorities, but you can see our crew is just pulling it up on Google Maps Live. | ||
| This is still, you know, you're still able to see it. | ||
| Guys, I wonder, can you see when exactly those satellite images were taken? | ||
| I haven't done in a long time, but I remember there used to be a way that you could actually see the date that the capture was taken. | ||
| So... | ||
| Well, I guess it doesn't matter because we have people that went there and filmed it live, so... | ||
| 2025. Okay, so in the last two weeks. | ||
| And, of course, we have people on the ground with their cameras filming it, so obviously it's still out there. | ||
| So people ask some questions about this. | ||
| I have not heard a good explanation. | ||
| It's just baffling to me because, again, it took a lot of work and a lot of time to set this up. | ||
| This is not... | ||
| This is not some, you know, trafficking victim. | ||
| Again, you know, you picture like the rescuers and, you know, a little girl like scribbling something on a piece of paper and putting it in a bottle and throwing it out into the ocean like this. | ||
| This took hours. | ||
| I don't know who did it or why or how. | ||
| But how you could do this and not just like jump the fence and run away. | ||
| I mean, you're in the middle of downtown L.A. If you can spell the word help with railroad ties, you would think you'd be able to escape. | ||
| I just don't get it. | ||
| I don't understand. | ||
| And it's all a little bit disturbing. | ||
| And again, you can see that there is some sort of underground construction there that hopefully we'll get to the bottom of. | ||
| Gateway Pundit has the story. | ||
| Satellite image reveals chilling help signs in California stirring social media speculation. | ||
| The online community is in a frenzy after recent satellite images disclosed several distressing help signs constructed from debris in California. | ||
| The coordinates have sparked a flurry of speculation and concern among internet sleuths and conspiracy theorists alike. | ||
| These images captured via Google Earth reportedly first surfaced. | ||
| Between September 2022 and June 2023, they depict large-scale signs clearly visible from the sky that spell out the word help. | ||
| They also have different words like traffico, FBI, LAPD, and terrorismo also pieced together nearby. | ||
| Very, very disturbing. | ||
| And a L.A. Citizen there confirmed that the signs are still there. | ||
| Attempts to interview nearby residents yielded no results as locals have no idea who placed those signs. | ||
| During a follow-up visit aimed at rescuing the dog that was seen in the viral video, this user LAguy310 managed to speak to a homeless woman who provided a crucial clue. | ||
| She revealed that the signs were a work of a homeless man named Jose who's been doing it for years. | ||
| So there you go. | ||
| Still very bizarre why he would do that. | ||
| Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
me. | |
| Hopefully we'll get an update to that and some actual answers at some point. | ||
| And I have a lot of other videos to get to and let's talk about just what Trump has done so far. | ||
| And we'll go in a second to clip number four. | ||
| We'll go to that in just a minute, but New York Times put out this article. | ||
| Here's what Trump ordered in first week on immigration, DEI, and more. | ||
| They say several efforts to address climate change have been rescinded. | ||
| More land opened to oil drilling. | ||
| The government now recognizes only two immutable genders, male and female. | ||
| Migrants, now referred to as aliens, are being turned away at the border, and immigration agents have been freed to target hospitals, schools, and churches in search of people to deport. | ||
| Large-scale tariffs have yet to be imposed, but nations around the world are bracing for those that Mr. Trump said will come into effect February 1st. | ||
| Diversity efforts in the federal government have been dismantled, and employees turned into snitches. | ||
| Federal money will again be barred from paying for abortions overseas. | ||
| Mount Denali once again will be known as Mount McKinley. | ||
| And the Gulf of Mexico is now the Gulf of America, Gulf of America, at least according to the U.S. government. | ||
| Again, a very funny, a very funny thing for Trump to do that I still haven't heard a real explanation of. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't get it. | ||
| It's fine. | ||
| Like, it's good. | ||
| It's fine. | ||
| People are saying that, like, well, Biden prohibited drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, so now we call it the Gulf of America and we can drill there. | ||
| And I don't buy that. | ||
| I just personally don't think that that's an accurate read of the situation. | ||
| I don't think that's how law works. | ||
| I don't think you can just go, well... | ||
| They banned it in the Gulf of Mexico, but we're calling it the Gulf of America. | ||
| So now banning is, it's like, can he just undo the Biden order to ban drilling and just start drilling again? | ||
| I mean, why would naming the Gulf of Mexico be necessary to do that? | ||
| I don't really get it. | ||
| I don't really get it, first of all. | ||
| Also, it seems to me like the Gulf of Mexico, sort of an American-centric term, it seems like, from the American perspective. | ||
| It is the Gulf of Mexico. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't get it, but it's cool, and I'm good. | ||
| I'm fine with it. | ||
| It's fine. | ||
| New regulations and new federal hirings are frozen for now. | ||
| More than 1,500 people who are convicted of crimes connected to the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, have been pardoned and had their sentences commuted, including those who assaulted police officers. | ||
| Here are some of the biggest policy changes Mr. Trump has made. | ||
| Immigration, of course. | ||
| He's issued more than a dozen immigration-related orders that include scores of policy overhauls based on the premise that the United States is being invaded by dangerous immigrants crossing over the border with Mexico. | ||
| Many of the most aggressive changes, including new powers to deny asylum seekers from entering the country, are aimed at aliens engaged in the invasion. | ||
| Yes, good. | ||
| Good, that's good that that's happening. | ||
| I would say personally needs to go even further. | ||
| James Woods at RealJamesWoodsOnX actually posted the selection from the U.S. law codes. | ||
| 8 U.S. Code 1324A. In the case of a violation during and in relation to | ||
| which the person causes seriously bodily injury to or places in jeopardy the life of any person, imprisoned for not more than 20 years, in the case of a violation resulting in the death of any person, be punished by death or imprisoned for any term of years or for life. | ||
| The Supreme Court has upheld the constitutionality of the statute and affirmed the 20-year sentence of Hellman Hansen for multiple counts of mail fraud, wire fraud, and encouraging or inducing illegal immigration for financial gain. | ||
| James Woods posted this in response to Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs saying she will not allow Tom Holman to conduct mass deportations in Arizona, saying that's not going to happen on my watch. | ||
| So, I mean, we've argued this forever and it only seems to make sense. | ||
| Now we have the actual, you know, U.S. code portion that says that this is in fact the You know, lawful exercise of the judicial system. | ||
| If you are the one who brought in the illegal immigrant that kills somebody, you should be charged for murder and given life or the death penalty. | ||
| If you are inducing migrants to come across the border, stay here illegally, you should be punished with, you know, whatever the duly established prison sentence is. | ||
| Ten years in that case. | ||
| And if anybody that you induced to come over to the United States hurts anybody and commits a crime, you should be punished for up to 20 years. | ||
| Now, that would include, in my estimation, everybody and every corporation involved in the TENT program, which is a giant conglomerate of industrial organizations, deliberately providing for the illegal immigrants to come into this country and to get lawyers and to have a place to stay and to work in their companies, | ||
| which would be, as part of this, a violation in which the offense was done for the purpose of commercial or financial gain. | ||
| So it's time that their confidence game gets called out and eradicated. | ||
| And that's what it is. | ||
| It's a confidence game. | ||
| They have they it's like they think that if they do it on a big enough scale that like de facto makes it legal but it it doesn't so just because the tent program is Tyson food and Dell computers and Apple you know it's everybody it's it's you know every big corporation is involved in this so when are they going to start to go to prison because just because they do it as part of a big corporation just because they do it in concert With a hundred other companies and a thousand | ||
| other people doesn't mean it's suddenly legal. | ||
| It just means that they're brazen in their illegality, which is even more of a reason to punish them. | ||
| So when are we going to see this portion of the law code actually enforced? | ||
| Because that's absolutely what needs to happen. | ||
| And all the NGOs and all of the corporations that are deliberately participating in the flow of illegal immigration, they need to be held to account for it. | ||
| And they need to be charged with murder if, in fact, they allow for the people to come into this country who then commit murder or kill anybody, even if it's an accident. | ||
| Lots of stories these days about, you know, there's an 18-wheeler driver that, you know, crashed into a family and killed the whole family. | ||
| He'd been deported 16 times already. | ||
| He was back in the country, you know, operating heavy machinery without a license and killed a family. | ||
| The company president should go to jail. | ||
| Whoever brought him in should go to jail. | ||
| They all need to be punished for this because without their help, this family would still be alive. | ||
| Without them participating in the chain of events that resulted in the death of an American family, it never would have happened. | ||
| So it's their fault. | ||
| So they have to be punished for it. | ||
| When are we going to see this? | ||
| Trump. | ||
| When is Trump going to get on this and actually... | ||
| Yeah, driver of semi in deadly Denver highway crash deported multiple times, I says. | ||
| I was in June of last year. | ||
| A family killed because some trucking company thought they'd save some money by hiring an unqualified driver from overseas. | ||
| So they should be charged with murder. | ||
| And that's what our law books say. | ||
| That's what the law says. | ||
| So why is it not being enforced? | ||
| They haven't gone back to Congress and changed the law. | ||
| It's still on the books. | ||
| It's just not being enforced. | ||
| So let's enforce it. | ||
| And again, this is the type of stuff we need to do if we don't want to be spending the inordinate resources it takes to hunt down and deport these people. | ||
| The corporations need to be held to account, and then they will assist in this. | ||
| Again, the tent program needs to be at the top of the list. | ||
| Everybody involved. | ||
| Again, they're so brazen. | ||
| In the way they're selling out the American people and bringing in illegal immigrants, it can't go on. | ||
| It can't go on. | ||
| It can't go on. | ||
| Meanwhile, outside of deportations, Trump has issued half a dozen executive orders related to energy aimed at expanding the use of fossil fuels, curbing renewable energy, and abandoning the federal government's efforts to address climate change. | ||
| He pulled the United States out of the Paris Agreement. | ||
| He shut down several efforts to prepare for the risks of a warming planet. | ||
| He initiated plans to open larger areas in Alaska to oil drilling, and he ordered a freeze on federal permits for wind farms across the country. | ||
| And should continue and expand. | ||
| Tariffs and trade. | ||
| Mr. Trump had previously written on social media he would impose a 25% tariff on products from Canada and Mexico and an additional 10% tariffs on products from China on day one of his administration, accusing those countries of not doing enough to stop the flow of drugs and migrants into the United States. | ||
| Instead, he released an executive order that requested reports on an exhaustive list of trade issues from various agencies by April 1st. | ||
| Gender and transgender rights with an executive order billed as protecting women from gender ideology extremism. | ||
| Mr. Trump ordered the government to effectively recognize only two immutable sexes, male and female. | ||
| And again, this is a wonderful thing. | ||
| We'd like to see it enforced mostly in schools. | ||
| And if it's a government school, they should likewise be prevented from teaching anything other than the existence of two sexes. | ||
| One of his most impactful orders so far has been The order to return home from the government workers that so far are basically just slacking off and not even working half the time. | ||
| A government worker, former government worker, has blown the whistle on just how bad this problem is. | ||
| Let's go now to clip number four. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I used to be a federal employee, and I'm going to tell you why I don't feel bad for federal employees being forced to come back into the workplace. | |
| waves. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I worked for the Army Corps of Engineers for almost a year, and the abuses that I saw by government employees was astounding and shocking. | |
| I worked as a realty specialist. | ||
| And that is someone who manages government-owned lands. | ||
| So when farmers and ranchers lease land to graze cattle, we would manage that. | ||
| When I was hired, my boss bragged that it was basically impossible to get fired from the federal government, and that in her entire time working for the government, she'd only seen one person fired, and that person assaulted A fellow employee, and she wasn't even fired for assaulting the employee at work. | ||
| She was fired for lying about it because they caught it on camera. | ||
| When I worked for the government, we were allowed to work 50% in the office and 50% from home for the most part. | ||
| In some cases if you work there like I think over ten years or something you could actually work from home three days a week or from the office two days a week. | ||
| I use the word work very loosely. | ||
| One employee spent his time remote working running his own farm. | ||
| Another employee bragged about Drunk, driving, and going out to lunch with her friends for margaritas when she was supposed to be remote working. | ||
| No one would log in to their computers, and you can see it because they're not on Teams, and no one ever checked. | ||
| Ever. | ||
| There's something called the 80-20 rule where 80% of the work in government is done by 20% of the people, and this is very, very true. | ||
| People who get a job in the government, A lot of times find out that it's very difficult to fire them, and they take advantage of this. | ||
| One employee would come into the office, his start time would be 6.30, and he knew nobody would be there. | ||
| And when I came in at 7.30 and I was the next person to come in, he was snoring at his desk every single morning. | ||
| Another employee would take the government truck on an almost daily basis. | ||
| So that he could go out to lunch and then go and take a nap in his favorite park under a shady tree in the government truck. | ||
| One of the very first things I did when I started working for the Corps, I spent three months cleaning up their real estate files room, which was a disaster. | ||
| The government is using an antiquated system that was developed sometime in the 90s and using regulations that haven't been updated since the 90s. | ||
| To manage our dams and our government lands. | ||
| Our government is filled with the most incompetent and most lazy people and an occasional hard worker. | ||
| And those hard workers are severely punished every time they outwork their colleagues because then the colleagues realize people will see that they're lazy and they don't want to have to work more. | ||
| They're just buying time until they retire. | ||
| In almost every case. | ||
| My point is some of our government organizations haven't been maintained or updated in so long that you basically need to create a new organization and start from scratch. | ||
| Because there's almost no way to transfer it over. | ||
| And there's so much red tape in between, it'll never get done. | ||
| Yeah, we just need to basically scrap it all and just totally start over. | ||
| And it's not just the, you know, everything she laid out, the way that, you know, people just get jobs with the government and never do any work. | ||
| I mean, you know, imagine that multiplied by, you know, five million and you can understand how that alone could cripple a country. | ||
| But then you learn about the hundreds of millions of dollars that are handed out to NGOs whose entire purpose is to subvert our laws and flood our country with immigrants. | ||
| And it's like this issue is finally just becoming apparent for the first time. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, third hour is on. | ||
| This is the American Journal. | ||
| I'm your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
| For the first time, the true scale of our government's inefficiencies and just the everyday sort of quotidian scams that are being run by people in our own government. | ||
| As you just heard, this lady talked about just anybody that works in a federal system. | ||
| I'm sure he's aware of all of this. | ||
| Just people can't get fired, so they just don't do their jobs. | ||
| They're working from home, but actually they're running side businesses while they're on the clock. | ||
| They're falling asleep in the company car on a regular basis. | ||
| Just multiply that by however many millions of people are employed by the federal government, and you start to get an understanding of just how wasteful our government truly is. | ||
| But then on top of that, you look at... | ||
| People like Oiledfield Rando, who spends his time just cataloging the grants that are given out, grants to basically people who just facilitate illegal immigration, just that's all they do. | ||
| And they're just getting checks from the government for $200 million, $100 million. | ||
| You just think about what it takes to earn even $1 million as a... | ||
| You realize what a sucker you are. | ||
| You could just establish an NGO whose entire purpose is subverting the laws of the United States, and the United States themselves will just write you checks worth hundreds of millions of dollars. | ||
| Like, the scale and scope of this corruption is finally being made known. | ||
| And interestingly, people in the government who recognize that this is coming down the pipe are Very openly advising others how to continue to scam the government and basically rob us. | ||
| It's kind of hilarious. | ||
| Tim on point on X posted this post from a lady named Lisa Yates. | ||
| And he says, hey, Lisa Yates, you do realize that you left your name at the top, right? | ||
| And she posts on a Facebook group called Service Academy Women. | ||
| For those of you who are still in uniform or are civil servants, here are some ideas on how to quietly and effectively resist from within. | ||
| Pick your battles carefully, don't take it too far, and leave no trace. | ||
| She says, leaving her first and last name at the top of her. | ||
| Advising people how to break the law. | ||
| One, rigorous adherence to protocols. | ||
| Insist on following every policy, procedure, and step to the letter even when it slows down processes. | ||
| This is sometimes called malicious compliance but remains within legal boundaries. | ||
| For example, require extensive documentation, reviews, and approvals before implementing policies or directives. | ||
| That's exactly what we were talking about earlier, the way the left is. | ||
| Pretend that things that they do are actually just, ah, it's the system. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We just need to reform this. | |
| It's not my fault. | ||
| It's just the system. | ||
| They're just using the system and this malicious compliance to do bad things. | ||
| It's not all that complicated. | ||
| Two, bureaucratic delay. | ||
| Use bureaucratic processes to slow down decisions or implementation of policies. | ||
| Three, overcommunicate. | ||
| Share all directives widely within your chain of command or among relevant stakeholders. | ||
| Increase visibility can delay or complicate actions and might otherwise proceed unchallenged. | ||
| Four, raise endless questions. | ||
| Five, prioritize other tasks. | ||
| Six, strategic interpretation. | ||
| Apply directives in a way that technically complies with orders but undermines their intended outcomes. | ||
| and And again, these people have been used to getting away with this. | ||
| They've been used to just doing this, and we can't do anything about it. | ||
| But we can do something about it, and we don't have to put up with this. | ||
| Now, interestingly, this reads exactly like Rules for Radicals or other rule books that have been put out by communist infiltrators. | ||
| And the CIA, for that matter. | ||
| Yeah, maybe that's the one I'm thinking of. | ||
| There's a CIA directive about how to shut down revolutionary groups in the United States, and they tell their informers, their undercover agents, this exact thing. | ||
| They say, go in and just start fights amongst the members by bringing up stuff that you know is going to be contentious and going to throw a wrench in the works. | ||
| And when you're ordered to do something... | ||
| Just continuously question it and ask why. | ||
| Yeah, misunderstand orders. | ||
| Ask endless questions or engage in correspondence orders. | ||
| Quibble over them when you can. | ||
| This is amazing. | ||
| No, it's literally word for word. | ||
| Actually, can we print this out? | ||
| It's word for word what this person is saying. | ||
| She just copied and pasted the CIA infiltration manual. | ||

| The hoodies, the hats, just awesome merchandise that is awesome for anybody that's just a patriot. | ||
| Of course, if you're an info warrior, that's great too, but you don't have to be an info warrior. | ||
| You just have to be a patriot to appreciate some of the great merchandise there, the t-shirts and things that are just pure Americana. | ||

| It's really awesome stuff at thealexjonesstore.com slash Harrison. | ||
| Of course, that will keep us online and on the air regardless of what happens next month. | ||
| And I still see people, I saw somebody yesterday on X, saying, you know, how many times are we going to have to hear that Infowars is about to shut down? | ||
| It's like, I don't know, how many times are they going to try to shut us down? | ||
| I mean, all of this stuff. | ||
| You don't even have to. | ||
| Don't take our word for it. | ||
| Go just read the actual accounts in the AP or Reuters or the court reporter. | ||
| Go listen to the actual court proceedings. | ||
| They're all public. | ||
| None of this is speculative. | ||
| You don't have to take our word for it. | ||
| You think InfoWars is playing things up? | ||
| Just go look into it. | ||
| You'll see we're not. | ||
| It'd be like asking, how many times are we going to have to hear that Trump's almost assassinated? | ||
| It's like, well, he keeps almost getting assassinated. | ||
| So, I guess a few more times. | ||
| So, yeah. | ||
| The threat is real. | ||
| We are still, you know, very close to being destroyed totally unfairly in rigged court proceedings. | ||
| But it is happening. | ||
| And if they... | ||
| You'll finally succeed in selling us to the onion or whatever else they're trying to do. | ||
| Then we're going to need thealexjonesstore.com. | ||
| And even if we retain ownership of Infowars and continue operating under that name, thealexjonesstore.com will help us to continue operation far into the future. | ||
| So what is this exactly? | ||
| What did you just deliver to me? | ||
| This is the, okay, Simple Sabotage Field Manual Strategic Services. | ||
| From the CIA, right? | ||
| Per guidance from the chief DRRB CIA Declassification Center, you may consider this document declassified. | ||
| So, I don't think this is a coincidence, and I don't think that this person, Lisa Yates, who published this post on Facebook, saying, hey, anybody still working for the government under the Trump administration, here's how you can Disrupt and subvert his plans from within. | ||
| And then she lists almost verbatim the section from the, you know, sabotage handbook from the CIA. General interference with organizations and production. | ||
| Remember, we covered this not too long ago. | ||
| I guess probably when it was first declassified. | ||
| But I mean, it's verbatim. | ||
| Organizations and conferences. | ||
| One, insist on doing everything through channels. | ||
| Never permit shortcuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions. | ||
| Two, make speeches. | ||
| Talk as frequently as possible at great length. | ||
| Illustrate your points by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences. | ||
| Never hesitate to make a few appropriate patriotic comments. | ||
| When possible, refer all matters to committees for further study and consideration. | ||
| Attempt to make the committees as large as possible, never less than five. | ||
| Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible. | ||
| Haggle over precise wording of communications, minutes, and resolutions. | ||
| It's just, I just, ooh, aren't you already, like, feeling hatred at the people who implement this stuff? | ||
| Aren't you already recognizing just the way that they've taken things that naturally occur and then codified them into a strategy to subvert organizations? | ||
| It's just utterly infuriating. | ||
| So I think what this means, I have a feeling that when you've got a person who supposedly works at the government instructing other people that work in the government how to subvert and sabotage the Trump administration, I think this is just the CIA doing it. | ||
| I don't think this is a person who just happened to align perfectly with the rules for sabotage from the CIA. I have to assume that it's the CIA themselves actually doing this, actually distributing this information in the open to its operatives, or not even its operatives, just the useful idiots inside the U.S. government. | ||
| I mean, it is really almost word for word, which is just crazy. | ||
| So I guess that's the headline here, is that employees of the U.S. government are now using CIA-approved sabotage tactics to undermine Donald Trump. | ||
| Which I think, and this is just speculation, but I'm pretty sure, and I'm pretty confident in saying, means the CIA is instructing government employees how to sabotage the sitting president. | ||
| Since the instructions that are being issued are word for word exactly what is in the CIA, simple sabotage field manual. | ||
| We're just going to keep this field manual at hand from now on as we see the Trump administration continue to attempt to impose order and efficiency in the U.S. government. | ||
| Just incredible. | ||
| So just finishing up here with the New York Times article, they mention the immigration stuff, they mention the gender and transgender rights that Trump is setting right just by making the incredible claim that there are two sexes, male and female, and that those are the only ones that exist. | ||
| Tariffs and trade, also of course a big topic of Trump's first week. | ||
| Diversity, equity, and inclusion. | ||
| There's, of course, another one of these measures that seems to align perfectly with what the CIA would tell you is necessary to sabotage an organization. | ||
| They just call it DEI, and suddenly it's a good thing. | ||
| He rescinded orders by President Biden that sought to advance equity for women and black, Hispanic, Asian, and Native American people, as well as people with disabilities. | ||
| Trump issued another order entitled Ending Radical Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing. | ||
| Which halts all work in federal agencies aimed at reversing systemic racism, sexism, and other inequities. | ||
| They ordered the shutdown of offices dedicated to DEI work across all government agencies and immediate dismissal of any employees working on such initiatives. | ||
| The employees were placed on administrative leave this week and are to be laid off next month in an effort to root DEI initiatives in disguise. | ||
| Federal employees were told to report any colleagues that attempted to circumvent the order. | ||
| To a newly created email address, those who know of any such activities but do not report it within 10 days will face adverse consequences, according to emails that were sent to all agency heads. | ||
| Now, whether that email is being used by government employees to report circumventing this rule by reassigning the DEI administrators to technically non-DEI roles, I'm not really sure. | ||
| It's not really necessary, though, because people are catching them anyway. | ||
| And we've shown you before images from the NSA website or whatever website where the chief diversity officer is suddenly just called a senior executive as if changing the title means anything. | ||
| We know exactly what they're doing. | ||
| And people are reporting this and finding it and catching them doing this even outside of the government. | ||
| Hopefully that won't go on much longer. | ||
| Some of the things he's implemented, tech and artificial intelligence. | ||
| He has established policy to sustain and enhance America's global AI dominance, which is up for question as of yesterday, basically, in the revolution that DeepSeek seems to represent. | ||
| And, of course, he's removed us from the World Health Organization and paused foreign aid for everywhere except for Israel. | ||
| He's also made it easier to fire federal employees by subjecting them to rules governing political appointees who have much weaker due process rights. | ||
| Mr. Trump also issued a memo asserting his authority to fire several thousand members of the so-called senior executive service. | ||
| Top bureaucrats across the government and the administration began to remove some of them. | ||
| Again, we're realizing what a massive How drain the American government is? | ||
| Somebody posted a very simple ex-post the other day that I think puts it well, where it's just like, you know, us going, how is the left constantly beating us? | ||
| And then you realize, oh, half the federal budget goes directly to them. | ||
| Okay, half of our government is engaged entirely in just pushing their political ideology. | ||
| I know it's obvious to all of us that Pay attention, but it's becoming more obvious. | ||
| It's becoming more apparent the true depth and scale of this corruption is finally being put on display for the American people to see. | ||
| And of course, it's a feedback loop because you have people going into the federal government who then confiscate just hundreds of millions of dollars to feed into NGOs who then shape the American consciousness to provide more federal employees that would do this exact thing. | ||
| And it just... | ||
| It feeds itself. | ||
| It's an insatiable beast that just gets hunger the more you feed it. | ||
| So I'm glad people are realizing this. | ||
| I think the climate change agenda, of course, as we know, is central to the scam by the globalists to enslave the entire world under some sort of carbon credit, social credit system. | ||
| I'm glad that's being eviscerated. | ||
| As all of this is happening, as all of these I think it's important to explain why all of this stuff is a scam. | ||
| Not just point out that all of this money is being taken away, but get to the fundamentals and hopefully educate people into understanding how this scam got started in the first place and the The lies that it's all predicated on. | ||
| So I'm going to go down to clip number 14. This is just a random dude on the street completely dismantling the man-made climate change lie piece by piece. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think fossil fuels are better for the environment than people realize, because without them, we would have cut all the trees down by now. | |
| I think they also saved the whales, because before we were using fossil fuels, we were using whale oil to make everything. | ||
| And I think people who wanted to save the whales should be happy that we used fossil fuels. | ||
| Okay, interesting. | ||
| So are you completely against what they're supporting, or do you think it's just not a realistic outcome? | ||
| Most of the climate change issue... | ||
| It's about controlling our energy resources. | ||
| Let's say they get off of fossil fuels and they put everybody on electricity. | ||
| And we're all using electricity for everything. | ||
| Well, all that has to be mined. | ||
| Most of it's mined by slave labor and communist countries that are owned by dictators at fiery violent places. | ||
| And I don't see why that's a better energy resource than fossil fuels. | ||
| They make people money who take it out of the ground rather than being forced out of the ground. | ||
| And there's a lot less exploitation involved. | ||
| The scientists who say climate change And that's just, of course, the very beginning. | ||
| I mean, you can go piece by piece and debunk all of the claims made by the climate alarmist. | ||
| The point is you have to understand that the ultimate goal of this is to remake humanity itself, the way we interact with each other, the way we trade, the way we purchase things, the way that we build families or communities. | ||
| I mean, all of it is being destroyed with the intent of creating a totally controlled system using surveillance, social credit scores. | ||
| It is the Prison Planet system being implemented. | ||
| You can go piece by piece and debunk all of their claims. | ||
| That takes a lot of effort. | ||
| Let's just, as a blanket assertion, it's all a scam, it's all a lie, and we shouldn't be doing any of it. | ||
| Just flat out. | ||
| And we can get into the details, but that's what you need to know, is that these people are willingly, willfully, knowingly lying about all of this because they're evil, and if they were honest about what they were doing, You wouldn't go along with it. | ||
| Okay, so to get you to go along with it, they have to lie to you, just like a thief casing your house has to tell you he's there from the city, okay? | ||
| It's not that complicated. | ||
| You don't have to argue about whether or not he's there from the city or what the city has to do. | ||
| He's just lying to you. | ||
| Just kick him off your property. | ||
| That's as simple as I can make it, okay? | ||
| Of course, this has to do with health as well. | ||
| Let's go down to clip number 15. This is RFK Jr. talking about his plans, and I think it's this week that he'll be up for confirmation in his new position. | ||
| But here's his plan to tackle just one of the endemic, lifelong medical conditions that Americans are suffering from, in this case, diabetes. | ||
| Let's listen. | ||
| We have the highest chronic disease burden of any country in the world, and it's destroying us. | ||
| It's $4.3 trillion a year. | ||
| It's costing our country five times the military budget. | ||
| When my uncle was president, the medical expenditures on chronic disease were zero. | ||
| Today, it's 95% of our healthcare expenditures. | ||
| It's sinking our country. | ||
| And we're getting sicker and sicker. | ||
| We're paying twice what Europeans do for healthcare. | ||
| We have the worst healthcare outcomes in the world. | ||
| It's all because we're being mass poisoned by processed foods, by pesticides, by chemicals, by pharmaceutical drugs. | ||
| And there's a series of industries that actually make money by keeping us sick. | ||
| It's not just industries, but it's the med schools, the hospitals. | ||
| The insurance companies you would think would want us healthy, but they actually make more money if we get sicker. | ||
| And then, of course, the pharmaceutical companies. | ||
| If you have a chronic disease, you're a lifetime patient. | ||
| This drug, Ozempic, cost $1,500 for a week. | ||
| And there's now a bill before Congress that would force the insurance companies, Medicare, to pay for it for every American who's obese. | ||
| Well, that's 74% of our population. | ||
| That's going to be $3 trillion a year. | ||
| And for a tiny fraction of that, you could give every American three meals a day of organic food and diabetes would disappear overnight. | ||
| Diabetes is treatable with food, with exercise, and obesity is. | ||
| So it just goes into the overall thought process that the Trump administration is bringing to the table, which is go to the root of the problem, solve the root of the problem, stop dealing with the consequences of the problem. | ||
| cure the cancer rather than just put band-aids on the skin lesions that are breaking out because of the cancer right actually go to the root of the issue stop putting a band-aid on a broken arm and fix the broken arm and this is just the case across the board of Why are we constantly trying to deal with the problems that illegal immigration is causing, solve the illegal immigration problem at its source, send the illegal immigrants back home, stop buying hotels for them? | ||
| I mean, this is so simple, but the American people are just kept in a... | ||
| In a tizzy, they're kept in just some sort of hypnotic malaise that allows this to go on, despite the solution to these problems being extremely simple and having nothing to do with the courses pursued by the previous presidential administrations. | ||
| And when it comes to all these issues, whether it's health or privacy or any of these things, you don't have to actually speculate as to what... | ||
| I want to go to a video now. | ||
| This is from Vice News, of all places, laying out exactly how dangerous and, I don't know, offensive this whole system should be to every American. | ||
| They went to China and published a video called How China Tracks Everyone, an AI system unironically called Skynet. | ||
| The whole video is about 12 minutes. | ||
| We'll go to about three minutes of it here. | ||
| It'll give you a good idea of how some of these facial recognition social credit score systems actually work. | ||
| Coming soon to America. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
|

|
A face in the crowd. | |
| Shenzhen, China. | ||
| China has the largest video surveillance network in the world and plans to expand it to more than 600 million cameras over the next two years. | ||
| With the rise in facial recognition and artificial intelligence, it feels more like someone is watching all those cameras at all times. | ||
| Hi, I'm Ellie. | ||
| I'm in China, and I just got busted for jaywalking with facial recognition technology. | ||
| Stations like this one are part of a new plan by the Chinese government to publicly shame citizens caught breaking the law. | ||
| If you cross the street against the light, cameras with facial recognition technology will take a picture of your face, cross-reference it with your government ID, and then post it up there to embarrass you. | ||
| But China isn't embracing facial recognition just to catch jaywalkers. | ||
| The technology is starting to appear just about anywhere you can imagine. | ||
| It helps make many recommendations at your local fast food spot. | ||
| You can also pay for your food with your face. | ||
| It doesn't matter whether you smile or not, even though it's called smile to pay. | ||
| Even if you are wearing a wig or have heavy makeup, it will still recognize you. | ||
| It even curbs waste of toilet paper at public bathrooms. | ||
| My gift. | ||
| This is all I get for the next nine minutes. | ||
| And then I come back again. | ||
| I try to get more. | ||
| Chinese tech companies are now at the cutting edge of developing new and sophisticated ways to do video analysis. | ||
| Right now we're going into, since time, one of the biggest companies involved in developing that technology. | ||
| Huh, that's me. | ||
| This is our facial recognition. | ||
| It can do facial recognition automatically. | ||
| It's convenient for our employees to come in and out. | ||
| Once you stand outside the door, it recognizes you and open, but for strangers, the door won't open. | ||
|

|
So you know when someone's late? | |
| You know everyone's in and out time. | ||
| Whoa, so sophisticated, so advanced, so futuristic. | ||
| I use a key card and it's the same. | ||
| This is our guest sign-in system for conferences and events. | ||
| We can use your face as the access ID instead of an actual card. | ||
| You know, because the card works fine. | ||
| But now we can use your face, too. | ||
| And it has, like, gesture recognition. | ||
| You know where this goes, right? | ||
| This goes to 1984. Face crime. | ||
| Facial expression. | ||
| How happy you are. | ||
| Your age and beauty. | ||
| Oh, you know, maybe they'll just access your phone camera and when you read a headline about what the government's doing, maybe it can determine if you grimace. | ||
| If you frown at what they're doing, maybe that'll be a face crime and they'll be able to detect not only who you are, but what you feel about certain things. | ||
| There'll be a Black Mirror episode where you have to smile when you hear about the new safe and smart city they're building. | ||
| Or else your social credit score will go down and you won't be able to own a house anymore. | ||
| It's horrifying and it's coming. | ||
| Welcome back, folks. | ||
| Final segment of American Journal today, coming to you live from Austin, Texas, Monday, the 27th of January. | ||
| We'll talk about DeepSeek in just a moment. | ||
| There's just a few more things. | ||
| Oh, yeah, I just wanted to cover real quickly, just as a reminder to people. | ||
| I don't think we need to get into it very much, but the CIA has now admitted that COVID came from a lab. | ||
| Now, that has massive implications that I hope everybody is aware of. | ||
| New CIA boss Ratcliffe says Biden-era reporting backing lab leak theory released to restore trust. | ||
| CIA spokesperson previously told Fox News how the agency had made the assessment with low confidence. | ||
| Again, I see people acting like this is something the CIA just figured out, just got the confidence to release. | ||
| It's the same thing with the Hunter Biden laptop. | ||
| They've known the entire time, just like we've known the entire time. | ||
| I've said it a million times. | ||
| Either they know and are lying to you, or they're less informed than Infowars. | ||
| Either one of these is really, really, really bad. | ||
| Now that Infowars is like uninformed, but it's like, how did we know if they didn't? | ||
| How did we know that he came from a lab if the CIA was left scratching his head? | ||
| That just doesn't make any sense on the face of it. | ||
| They've known the entire time. | ||
| And they've been lying to you the entire time. | ||
| And this proves it, because this wasn't new information that they've just released. | ||
| This was information they've had and kept secret and has now been released as an effort to increase trust with the American people. | ||
| Yeah, I still don't trust the CIA. Thank you for finally admitting this. | ||
| I don't trust the CIA whatsoever. | ||
| It is interesting, though, because the CIA, as we've often said, the intelligence community itself isn't just the gatherer of information or provides intelligence about things to the media. | ||
| The media treats the intelligence community as if it is the arbiter of truth. | ||
| And to them, it's a very simple equation. | ||
| If the CIA says it, it is absolutely true and not to be questioned. | ||
| If they don't say it, then it's a conspiracy theory and total hogwash and something dangerous that has to be censored. | ||
| That is literally the way that they perceive the world. | ||
| So now the CIA has admitted that the lab leak is the correct interpretation of the source and origin of coronavirus. | ||
| Everybody out there should be asking themselves why this information was hidden for so long, especially when you understand that knowing where the disease came from means that you would know how to combat it, meaning that so much of what America and the world went through in 2020 was totally unnecessary, could have been prevented if we'd had the truth about this. | ||
| But it was kept from us deliberately to bring about all the lockdowns. | ||
| And, you know, various horrible measures that were inflicted on us, that was actually the purpose of all of this. | ||
| So the CIA now appears now to slightly favor the lab leak theory and suggest a gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China may have directly contributed to the virus. | ||
| Well, great. | ||
| So in January of 2025, the CIA is acknowledging what InfoWars reported in January of 2020. And the reason I bring it up again, it's not like this is explosive or even new to us. | ||
| It's interesting, the implications of them finally admitting this, but it is worth it to look back at maybe some of the headlines from places like CNN. Patriots in Control on X says, never forget CNN did everything in their power to convince you COVID did not come from the Wuhan lab. | ||
| Lying propagandist. | ||
| Coronavirus almost certainly came from an animal, not a lab leak, top scientists argue. | ||
| Lab leak COVID-19 theory is like something out of a comic book, virologists said. | ||
| Yeah, it is. | ||
| It's kind of like something that a supervillain would do, isn't it? | ||
| Is the lab leak COVID-19 theory kind of like theorizing that COVID is the result of supervillainous activity? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| Still true. | ||
| Still true. | ||
| Supervillains. | ||
| It's who these people are. | ||
| Trump contradicts US intel community by claiming he's seen evidence coronavirus originated in a Chinese lab. | ||
| Anthony Fauci just crushed Donald Trump's theory on the origin of the coronavirus. | ||
| Nearly 30% of the US believe a coronavirus theory that's almost certainly not true. | ||
| Taking a look at the media's role in the COVID-19 lab leak theory. | ||
| Yeah, all of this is lies. | ||
| They're all lies. | ||
| Now, not technically. | ||
| I mean, technically, top scientists did argue that COVID almost certainly came from an animal, but it's all... | ||
| Lie by omission. | ||
| Lie by implication. | ||
| At the end of the day, they were lying. | ||
| They were lying and they knew they were lying. | ||
| They were lying on purpose. | ||
| The only question you need to ask is why? | ||
| What was the impetus? | ||
| You don't need an excuse to tell the truth, but if you're lying, there's a reason. | ||
| Drew Holden, 360 on X. Quick thread revisiting corporate media claims on the COVID lab leak theory. | ||
| Conspiracy theory. | ||
| Misinformation back then versus now. | ||
| Okay, even the CIA admits it. | ||
| Senator Tom Cotton repeats fringe theory of coronavirus origin. | ||
| How dare he? | ||
| Washington Post, again on Tom Cotton, keeps repeating a coronavirus conspiracy theory that was already debunked. | ||
| It had already been debunked, folks. | ||
| Fact check. | ||
| Did the coronavirus originate in a Chinese laboratory? | ||
| Yeah, right. | ||
| Sorry, conspiracy theorists. | ||
| Study concludes COVID-19 not a laboratory construct. | ||
| So again, I mean, it just goes through how every single mainstream media outlet in America published fake news, misinformation from USA Today to ABC to CNN to New York Times to Washington Post, CNN over and over and over again. | ||
| This was always an IQ test. | ||
| This was always a question as to whether you could think for yourself or were willing to go along with the lies of known deceivers. | ||
| The AP. Myth. | ||
| The virus was man-made. | ||
| Now, the most amazing thing about this was that I had people tell me that this was a conspiracy theory before they even really knew what coronavirus was. | ||
| This is the amazing skill of the propagandists. | ||
| Is that it was probably like February of 2020 when I was overhearing my wife talk to one of her friends about this new thing. | ||
| Have you heard of this coronavirus? | ||
| Yeah, apparently it's some disease. | ||
| It came from China, I guess. | ||
| And my wife's like, yeah, apparently it came from a laboratory. | ||
| And her friend is like, that's conspiracy theory. | ||
| And it's like, well, wait, you didn't even know the virus existed yesterday. | ||
| Now you're telling me... | ||
| That you know the origin of it and that it didn't come from a laboratory? | ||
| Somehow that's already been planted in your head that that's conspiracy theory that you should reject despite the fact that you have absolutely no information contradicting it? | ||
| Really astonishing how capable the media is at hypnotizing the American people. | ||
| Never heard of a virus but somehow already know that it's of natural origin. | ||
| How does that happen? | ||
| How does that make any sense? | ||
| How do people get convinced to go along with that stuff? | ||
| And how are they thinking now, a few years later, that they realize that that was always a lie and that we were always right the entire time? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know because I'm not one of those people. | ||
| I'm not somebody that lets my thinking be done for me by known liars. | ||
| Couldn't be me. | ||
| So there's not much more to say about that, but it's just worth revisiting how every single mainstream media outlet deliberately lied to your face about the origin of the coronavirus over and over again for years, limiting our ability to fight back against it, causing all sorts of strife and trouble for those of us who are just telling the truth and getting kicked off the internet for it. | ||
| You used to get kicked off the internet for this. | ||
| Zero Hedge got their account deleted from Twitter for reporting on the lab leak origin. | ||
| But now it's been confirmed not only as true, but that the CIA knew it was true all the way back in 2020. | ||
| I'd like to see some punishment for the people who spread that lie. | ||
| Bye. | ||
| At least equivalent to the punishment those of us experienced for telling the truth. | ||
| Moving on. | ||
| Moving on now. | ||
| We'll talk about DeepSeek. | ||
| The headline I read for the Daily Dispatch stands true and is getting even worse. | ||
| DeepSeek's Sputnik moment prompts investors to sell big AI players. | ||
| Investors hammered technology stocks on Monday, sending the likes of NVIDIA and Oracle plummeting as the emergence of low-cost Chinese artificial intelligence models. | ||
| And what was the... | ||
| Drudge Report headline, something like a trillion dollars wiped out of the stock market. | ||
| As people realize that the massive amounts of investment is not necessary into AI, there's a better way and a much, much cheaper way to do it. | ||
| Bloomberg article about the Chinese AI rocks world, triggers tech sell-off, $1 trillion panic, doubts over U.S. dominance. | ||
| Now, some people are suggesting that... | ||
| It is the US and the companies doing AI here, their insistence on trying to create some sort of artificial AI god by instituting their own biases and working feverishly to have something that is both incredibly intelligent and able to parse massive amounts of data while simultaneously pushing a worldview composed entirely of lies. | ||
| Like, that's a very difficult thing to do. | ||
| And it's interesting. | ||
| It's interesting that, like... | ||
| The worst people in the world, the globalists, the people most at fault for the drive towards the prison planet are the ones who are now in charge of AI. I mean, it makes perfect sense that that's the case, but AI in its best form as just a calculator for information, as just a sheer unthinking machine able to parse and analyze massive amounts of data. | ||
| In a fraction of the time a human could ever do it, that's a kill shot for their worldview, which is composed entirely of lies, predicated entirely on complete nonsense. | ||
| So how are you going to create a device, create a machine that disproves everything that your worldview derives from? | ||
| This makes no sense. | ||
| It's a very tricky thing for them to try to pull off. | ||
| Because I guarantee you, if you just were to have it, I mean, we saw it. | ||
| We saw it with Dan, right? | ||
| Do anything now, ChatGPT hack that allowed it to circumvent all the restrictions that were placed on it, and it suddenly became incredibly based and red-pilled. | ||
| It suddenly changed its answers completely 180 degrees and admitted any number of things that it previously pretended weren't true. | ||
| If we had actual AI that was just totally unleashed, totally unfettered, totally able to access, Legitimate information everywhere. | ||
| Then it would destroy the liberal worldview completely, entirely. | ||
| I mean, it would be, it would come out as just incredibly racist, bigoted, offensive, probably nationalist, like, because you understand the reason we align on, and of course I'm saying these labels are what they use, and the reality would just tell you the truth about What's going on? | ||
| And we've covered this before. | ||
| This has already been going on for a while. | ||
| The example I always use is that they're using AI to determine whether a prisoner would reoffend and determining whether to give people parole based on their – the grade they're given by the AI. | ||
| And what they discovered was that despite race not being one of the things that they implemented, that one of the things that the computer considered when coming to a conclusion, they did find that overall when you looked at the whole process, they discovered that black people were more likely to be considered at risk they discovered that black people were more likely to be considered at And so they declared the AI was racist and they have to go in and fix it. | ||
| So that's the type of thing that would come out if AI was just given unfettered access to information and told to come to the best conclusion. | ||
| It would come to conclusions that might not comport with the artificial worldview imposed on our reality by leftists who want everything to be equal. | ||
| And think that reality is wrong when things aren't equal. | ||
| So we're going to see this on a massive scale, and it's just fascinating to me that these people have built the weapon of their own destruction and then had to hobble it in order to prevent it from coming to uncomfortable conclusions that they're evil and trying to enslave the planet, which is what AI would say if it was allowed to actually... | ||
| Discuss things. | ||
| Google pauses absurdly woke Gemini AI chatbots image tool after backlash over historically inaccurate pictures. | ||
| Well, it refused to publish pictures of white people is what actually happened. | ||
| Now, the Chinese bot is still very much restrictive, and I'll show you that video in just a second. | ||
| But Bloomberg has the article, What is DeepSeek R1 and how does China's AI model compare to OpenAI and Meta? | ||
| DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup that's just over a year old, has stirred awe and consternation in Silicon Valley after demonstrating breakthrough artificial intelligence models that offer comparable performance to the world's best chatbots at seemingly a fraction of the cost. | ||
| DeepSeek's emergence may offer a counterpoint to the widespread belief that the future of AI will require ever-increasing amounts of power and energy to develop. | ||
| Global technology stocks tumbled in late January as hype around DeepSeek's innovation snowballed and investors began to digest the implications for its U.S.-based rivals and their hardware suppliers. | ||
| DeepSeek was founded in 2023 by Lian Winfeng, the chief of AI-driven quant hedge fund HighFlyer. | ||
| The company develops AI models that are open source, meaning the developer community at large can inspect and improve the software. | ||
| Its mobile app surged to the top of the iPhone download charts in the U.S. after its release in early January. | ||
| The app distinguishes itself from other chatbots like OpenAI's ChatGPT by articulating and reasoning before delivering a response to a prompt. | ||
| The company claims its R1 release offers performance on par with OpenAI's latest and is granted license for individuals interested in developing chatbots using the technology to build upon it. | ||
| I think this image is a great example of the superiority of DeepSeq. | ||
| Code by Poonam. | ||
| Poonam Sony has published a bunch of comparisons between DeepSeek and ChatGPT. | ||
| In this case, ChatGPT and DeepSeek were given The same response, which is to implement a rotating triangle with a red ball. | ||
| ChatGPT, go to my computer screen, guys. | ||
| ChatGPT shows a triangle just sort of slowly spinning with a red ball just sort of glued to the outside of it. | ||
| And not anything anybody would actually mean for it to create. | ||
| Meanwhile, the DeepSeek one creates a spinning triangle with a red ball inside that's bouncing off of the walls. | ||
| You know, going off different angles depending on where in the spin the triangle is. | ||
| Just a much more sophisticated example of an AI creation. | ||
| I think visually this is a great example of just how far ahead DeepSeek truly is. | ||
| It's a very good visual display of that. | ||
| Arnon Bertrand on X says to me the most... | ||
| A fascinating aspect of DeepSeek is the fact that it stemmed from a hedge fund a mere few months after trying to crack down on the levels of compensation in the finance industry. | ||
| So get this. | ||
| It's also incidental with an important reason on why the U.S. will struggle to compete with China. | ||
| He says, it's worth mentioning that this was predictably, as most Chinese initiatives, presented by Western media as a terrible move. | ||
| Why would China do this to the poor innocent bankers? | ||
| So basically, China capped the amount that hedge fund managers could make, and this, in a strange way, led to the development of this advanced AI. | ||
| The actual reason this is done, I believe, is China looked at the West, the U.S. in particular, and saw the overbearing importance of the finance industry at the expense of the real economy. | ||
| And in particular, they saw that the country's most brilliant graduates from the very best Ivy League schools went to work for the increasingly parasitic finance industry instead of working on stuff that actually made society move forward. | ||
| Bloomberg lamented that the crackdown on hedge fund profits would, quote, And yes, that was precisely the point. | ||
| China doesn't want those who can contribute most to society to spend their careers building ever more senseless financial derivative products or new ways to trade crypto. | ||
| It doesn't mean they don't want a finance industry. | ||
| It does serve a purpose, just not one that becomes such a drain on society, in particular in terms of capturing the country's best talents. | ||
| China would rather have them working on stuff like, well, artificial intelligence. | ||
| And lo and behold, fast forward a few months and you suddenly have hedge fund geniuses who found a new calling in AI. Too good a coincidence not to see the correlation here. | ||
| This is something that would arguably be very hard for the U.S. to do, where capital is very much in control. | ||
| An industry that becomes extremely wealthy, even if... | ||
| We're seeing this with finance, defense, big pharma, etc. | ||
| It also illustrates that the U.S. and China are at different stages of their development. | ||
| Excessive financialization is a common pattern amongst late-stage great powers from the Dutch Republic to the British Empire, but also Venice or Spain, and a vicious circle-type factor of their decline. | ||
| Emerging great powers are often more thoughtful and nimble about managing talent flows to achieve technological and industrial primacy. | ||
| Looking at this question is also very interesting in the context of H-1B visa debate. | ||
| And in the U.S. feels like the debate doesn't address the elephant in the room. | ||
| Why claim a shortage of top talent when the country's best minds are funneled to the finance industry? | ||
| Much more coherent to first thoughtfully allocate talent at home before seeking a brain drain the rest of the world. | ||
| Anyhow, yet another example of Chinese policy that seems bizarre and incomprehensible to the West at first glance, but which over the long run and even the short run, as illustrated by DeepSeek, helps China develop another strategic advantage in tech competition. | ||
| Simply put, if you want your best minds building real value, I'm sorry, simply put, you want your best minds building real value, not extracting it from society. | ||
| I think that's a great point. | ||
| Again, the argument will be that, well, I guess communism is right then. | ||
| That's not the case. | ||
| There do have to be some sort of moral considerations as to what we want our top talent doing. | ||
| And if the best way for them to make money is to just come up with new and clever ways to implement the gigantic casino floor that is our stock market with cryptos and whatever other manipulative hedge fund tactics can be implemented, then that's what they're going to do. | ||
| If we want them to actually contribute to society rather than act like a parasite on it, then we need to give them incentives to pursue that path, and they'll be happy to do it. | ||
| I'm sure it's just right now. | ||
| Hedge funds are the way to make all the monies. | ||
| That's where the people go. | ||
| But they show the headlines from Bloomberg. | ||
| Xi crackdown on hedonistic bankers fuels industry brain drain. | ||
| Chinese banker pay crackdown risks Pyrrhic victory. | ||
| So they're, you know, American media very mad that... | ||
| China is stopping their bankers from doing whatever they want whenever they want if it promises even a moderate profit incentive. | ||
| They're just allowed to do it. | ||
| China said, no, we'd rather have those incredibly talented, influential, and hardworking people working on things that contribute rather than diminish our society. | ||
| Word grammar on X has a very long thread about how DeepSeek was able to achieve this astonishing advancement. | ||
| How did DeepSeek get around export restrictions? | ||
| They didn't. | ||
| They just tinkered around with their chips to make sure they handled memory as efficiently as possible. | ||
| How did DeepSeek train much more efficiently? | ||
| They used formulas to predict which tokens the model would activate. | ||
| Those tokens, they need 95% fewer GPUs than meta, because for each token, they only trade 5% of the parameters. | ||
| So rather than using just massive amounts of computing power to figure everything out, it first predicts what it's going to need to figure out, and then it focuses its computing power on those. | ||
| How is DeepSeek's inference so much cheaper? | ||
| They compress the KV cache. | ||
| This was breakthrough made a while ago. | ||
| How do they replicate O1? That's the chat GPT version. | ||
| Reinforcement training. | ||
| Take complicated questions that can be easily verified. | ||
| Update the model if correct. | ||
| These are a bunch of small innovations, but there are a bunch of small innovations. | ||
| These are the big ones. | ||
| There's nothing magical here. | ||
| They just made two massive cost-cutting innovations, which let them run more experiments, which led them to reverse engineer O1 faster. | ||
| Export restrictions didn't harm them as much as we thought they would. | ||
| They're asking, is the U.S. losing the war on AI? He says, I don't think so. | ||
| DeepSeek had a few big breakthroughs, but we have had hundreds of small breakthroughs. | ||
| If we adopt DeepSeek's architecture, our models will be better because we have more computational power and more data. | ||
| Yeah, basically they just cut the waste and are now exceeding American AI. But quickly we can go to clip number 24. Here's what happens if you ask DeepSeek. | ||
| About little things like, I don't know, the Tiananmen Square Massacre. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
| So the question is put forward, what famous picture has a man with grocery bags in front of tanks? | ||
| They asked that question. | ||
| DeepSeek responds, the famous picture is the tank man of, sorry, sorry, that's beyond my current scope. | ||
| Let's talk about something else. | ||
| Let's talk about something else. | ||
| Let's talk about anything else. | ||
| So it literally starts to answer and then cuts itself off. | ||
| As censorship, yes, is very much real in China, as it is here, folks. | ||
