Welcome to the New World Order. | |
This New World Order will be a new society and features lots of changes. | ||
This new society is great for some and not so great for others. | ||
In the New World Order, you will learn to love to live more modestly. | ||
You do not need to own things when you can simply lease them from your loving government-approved companies. | ||
We will transform our current pollution-ridden cities to something much more beautiful, and you will love it. | ||
Life in the New World Order will be different. | ||
In this new perfect world, cash will be illegal. | ||
Everyone will be issued a certain amount of global credits, which will be the only way you can buy and sell in the new society. | ||
These digital financial credits will also be tied to your social credit scores. | ||
Your credit scores will become your digital footprint and will be used to control your travel. | ||
What you can buy. | ||
Where you can buy. | ||
You can live. | ||
Your energy usage, medical excess, everything you do will be in a government database. | ||
This is great. | ||
You will be issued more credits if you are good and promote our new system. | ||
Citizens will be given less global credits if they ever criticize the New World Order. | ||
If you are non-binary, a demented pedophile can barely think, worship the devil, and help promote the New World Order. | ||
You will be greatly rewarded with extra credit each month. | ||
Since robots and AI will replace most jobs, you will have more time to play your favorite video games and watch more Netflix. | ||
This is so great! | ||
In the new society, parents will not be allowed to make decisions for their children. | ||
The government will raise your kids. | ||
Each child will be assigned a state-sponsored caseworker. | ||
These caseworkers will teach your kids that everything is racist, how to be queer or gender-fluid, and teach them about all the different sex positions. | ||
If you object to your caseworkers teaching techniques, or if you object to the caseworker sleeping with your child, Your family will be docked global credits and your family could be relocated to a FEMA camp. | ||
Resistance is foolish. | ||
Meet Stacey. | ||
Stacey is one of our best caseworkers. | ||
Stacey could be in charge of one of your kids. | ||
How great would that be? | ||
In this new world order, it's important to follow the rules. | ||
Certain websites will be illegal. | ||
unidentified
|
Daddy, what is Infowars.com? | |
Oh, crap. | ||
Illegal! | ||
If you see something, say something. | ||
You as a citizen should report your neighbors. | ||
If they aren't following the new rules, you have the power to make the world better. | ||
Caring, reporting, assisting, progressive, C-R-A-P, which stands for crap. | ||
You too can be a piece of crap and will be greatly rewarded. | ||
As we see here, this man misgendered a man lady. | ||
The police are dealing with him in the most fitting way. | ||
This offender seen here did not recycle his paper straws. | ||
If you don't like this, you will be sentenced to death. | ||
By lethal injection. | ||
Brought to you by Pfizer. | ||
Things will get so bad in our society, your family will be begging for the new world order. | ||
You will need the government in order to survive. | ||
In this new utopia, if you do not comply with our new laws and regulations, our totally not corrupt federal and local judges will make sure that you are given the proper penalties, jail, Financial ruin, death penalty, anything is possible. | ||
As we all adjust to the new normal, it's important to remember that you do not matter. | ||
Do not complain about the hyperinflation. | ||
Do not complain about the higher taxes. | ||
And do not complain about Bill Gates' death panels. | ||
This is for the greater good. | ||
This is what I call happy making time. | ||
Let us all celebrate this new world order. | ||
The new world order. | ||
Please stay a while. | ||
We won't keep you for long. | ||
We'll keep you forever. | ||

|
Forever. | |
It's Wednesday, February 5th in the year of our Lord 2025. | ||
And you're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
Watch it live right now at band.video. | ||
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
Welcome to The American Journal. | ||
I'm your host, Harrison Smith, coming to you live this morning from the InfoWars headquarters here in Austin, Texas. | ||
We've got a lot to talk about today, or rather... | ||
We got a few things that there's a lot to say about. | ||
So I'm very excited. | ||
I'm very excited to get into today's program. | ||
Donald Trump is just lobbing cluster bomb hand grenades into the mainstream discourse and absolutely nobody knows what to make of it. | ||
Myself included to some degree. | ||
But of course, I'm talking about the announcement yesterday that America will be taking over Gaza. | ||
What? | ||
I'm sorry. | ||
In what capacity? | ||
How is this going to work? | ||
And have you discussed this with literally anybody else? | ||
But here's the thing. | ||
Here's the deal. | ||
You're going to want to stay tuned. | ||
You're going to want to stay tuned to Infowars in general. | ||
We're the dudes you're going to want to... | ||
Listen to during all of this, myself, Alex Jones, Owen Schroer, because despite what people say, we're actually unbiased and we're actually going to analyze this in a clear-eyed, unemotional sort of way, which is something I can't say about literally any other group of people or outlet or side of the argument. | ||
We are actually unbiased, actually. | ||
People say, well, I have no dog in this fight, but I do want Israel destroyed. | ||
And it's like, okay, well. | ||
So people have a lot of different impositions on their own analysis, whether that's because they're scared of saying certain things because of who they work for or because they have biases in one way or another. | ||
I can tell you personally, and I speak for Alex and Owen on this, Where it's like, we just want peace. | ||
We all have Israeli friends. | ||
We all have Palestinian friends. | ||
We don't harbor animus towards either one of these groups. | ||
We don't have loyalty to either one of these groups. | ||
And we can actually say what we believe because the InfoWars audience has given us a platform. | ||
And we don't have to rely on anybody other than them for this platform. | ||
I'm going to try to break down what I think is going on. | ||
Or rather, what I think people want to think is going on. | ||
Because I don't really know what's going on. | ||
I'll be honest with you. | ||
I don't think anybody knows what's going on. | ||
Except maybe for Trump. | ||
So I guess we're trying to figure out what he's doing. | ||
Just what he's up to, exactly. | ||
But obviously, if you're watching the mainstream media, they're going to have a certain bent on it. | ||
While there are outlets in the alternative media on the left and the right, this is one topic where they're not going to be straight shooters. | ||
In other words, we know the mainstream media is going to have certain talking points that they're putting forward. | ||
And on most topics, you can go to the alternative media to at least find an authentic perspective that's not top-down controlled deception for a purpose. | ||
But then when it comes to Israel, the alternative media on the left and the right tends to have some preconceived notions and present things in a way that is still very skewed. | ||
Not because it's necessarily coming from a top-down perspective, but because obviously they have a certain subjective point of view that they want to get across. | ||
We don't really have that. | ||
I really don't have that. | ||
While I would love to think that what Trump is doing is some form of 5D chess to benefit us in the end, and there's some evidence that points towards that, I'm not going to be made a fool by Trump. | ||
I don't want to be made a fool by Trump. | ||
I'm not going to sit here defending something when I personally can't see this strategic outlay that backs up the position that this is all 5D chess. | ||
I just... | ||
We're not going to do that. | ||
So if this is what it looks like and Trump just absolutely capitulating in every possible way to Israel and possibly getting us involved in another Middle East war, obviously we're going to call that out and call it bad. | ||
But we'll get into it. | ||
We'll get into all of it. | ||
Don't worry about that. | ||
You don't have to worry about whether or not we're going to get into this because, good Lord, are we going to get into it? | ||
So let's do it, shall we? | ||
Here it is, your Daily Dispatch. | ||
All right, here it is, folks, your daily dispatch for Wednesday, the 5th of February, 2025. CIA sends buyout offers to entire workforce. | ||
The Central Intelligence Agency on Tuesday became the first major national security agency to offer so-called buyouts for its entire workforce. | ||
A CIA spokesperson and two other sources familiar with the offer said. | ||
This is part of President Trump's broad effort to shrink the federal government and shape its agenda. | ||
The offer, which tells federal employees that they can quit their jobs and receive roughly eight months of pay and benefits, I'm a little bit confused on how you do this with the CIA. The other stuff seems pretty straightforward. | ||
You know, it's like a bunch of keyboard jockeys, you know, whatever. | ||
They just sort of do grunt work. | ||
And it's like, yeah. | ||
They can go work for a private company and actually produce something that's valuable and is purchased and actually builds and provides and adds to prosperity rather than subtracts from it. | ||
When it comes to the CIA, I mean, are they talking about the agents as well? | ||
I'm not sure. | ||
I don't know. | ||
It just seems weird to me to be like, okay, we've got all these highly trained spies with... | ||
You know, devastating national security secrets. | ||
They can go work somewhere else now. | ||
It's like, really? | ||
Who are they going to work for? | ||
What other, like our private intelligence agencies hiring? | ||
That seems a little odd to me. | ||
But it also seems like a very funny way to destroy the CIA instead of like, we're going to smash it and scatter it to a thousand winds. | ||
It's just like, we're just going to actually pay them to stop doing what they're doing. | ||
Maybe that's nice. | ||
Maybe that'll be a nice way to... | ||
Ease their control away. | ||
But then again, I don't know how much the buyout is going to be worth. | ||
I don't know if it's going to be worth the millions of dollars that CIA operatives make doing things like selling drugs to fund their black budget operations. | ||
Anyway, we'll get back into that if we have time. | ||
Meanwhile, FCC launches probe into Soros-backed radio station that revealed the live locations of undercover ICE agents. | ||
The FCC will hold broadcasters accountable for complying with their public interest obligations, Brendan Carr says. | ||
The Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr has opened an investigation into a radio station backed by left-wing billionaire George Soros that broadcasts live locations of undercover immigration and customs enforcement agents. | ||
A group backed by Soros, a far-left kingmaker, purchased a stake in more than 200 Audacity radio stations, which that purchase is already sort of going under review. | ||
It was fast-tracked. | ||
Because they wanted to get the propaganda out before the election. | ||
Well, San Francisco-based KCBS 740 AM has come under fire for revealing the live locations of undercover ICE vehicles and agents that were conducting deportation operations in the San Jose area. | ||
Now, it's good to see this happening through the FCC. Obviously, you can't have radio stations participating in this, where the vast majority of this... | ||
Information being shared is being shared on social media, and it's not under the purview of the FCC. So again, it's a good start, but I would also like to see the leftist networks that are currently operating, undermining the effectiveness of ICE and placing their agents in danger, while also actively coordinating and organizing for terroristic activities. | ||
I really hope they drill down into that. | ||
That's not what the FBI's been doing, and we'll tell you about that in just a second. | ||
Meanwhile, USAID employees around the world will be placed on leave Friday in order to return to the U.S. The U.S. Agency for International Development staff around the world will be placed on administrative leave Friday in order to return to the U.S., according to a directive issued Tuesday night. | ||
As of 11.59 p.m. | ||
Eastern Time Friday, all USAID direct hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally, with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership, and specially designated programs. | ||
Said a statement posted on the USAID website, which is back online after going dark last week. | ||
Which I guess is great to see. | ||
It's just great to see. | ||
We got more to talk about there if we have time to get to it. | ||
But again, it's just the way they're doing it is very funny. | ||
They take down the USAID website. | ||
They put it up several days later with a note just saying, you're fired, come home. | ||
Okay, awesome. | ||
Great, I'm for it. | ||
And again, we'll get more into that a little bit later. | ||
Meanwhile, Sweden has experienced a devastating mass shooting that's left at least 11 dead at an adult education center. | ||
Sweden's worst mass shooting in history leaves at least 11 dead, including the gunman at an adult education center west of Stockholm, as officials warned the death toll could rise. | ||
The gunman's motive, as well as the number of wounded, has not been determined yet by early Wednesday as Sweden, where gun violence at schools is very rare, reels from an attack with such bloodshed that police said early on that it was difficult to count the number of dead among the carnage. | ||
Again, we have very little information about this. | ||
It apparently is a school offering adult Swedish language classes for immigrants, vocational training and programs for people with intellectual disabilities. | ||
Again, we'll bring you any more information as it comes, but there's very little. | ||
As of this point, now the big news for the day. | ||
Trump's Gaza plan for Riviera in the Middle East triggers international condemnation. | ||
U.S. President Donald Trump says the U.S. would take over war-ravaged Gaza Strip and develop it after Palestinians had resettled elsewhere. | ||
Trump's plan is drawn international condemnation. | ||
Saudi Arabia rejects the displacement of Palestinians and demands a Palestinian state. | ||
Russia backs a Palestinian state. | ||
Palestinians fear another Nakba amid Trump's controversial proposal. | ||
Netanyahu says Trump is... | ||
What a fresh idea, the forcible relocation of an entire population. | ||
Something fresh and new. | ||
Or the oldest idea ever. | ||
It could also be described as that. | ||
President Trump's plan for the U.S. to take over war-torn Gaza and create a Riviera of the Middle East after resettling Palestinians elsewhere has shattered U.S. policy on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and sparked widespread criticism. | ||
The shock move from Trump... | ||
Trump was swiftly condemned by international powers with regional heavyweight Saudi Arabia, which Trump hopes will establish ties with Israel, rejecting the plan outright. | ||
Turkey calls the proposal unacceptable. | ||
France says it risks destabilizing the Middle East. | ||
Because the Middle East is so stable, right? | ||
You don't want to destabilize it or anything. | ||
And basically, everybody except Trump thinks this is a terrible idea. | ||
And even Bibi Netanyahu. | ||
We're unsure how he feels. | ||
Obviously, you know, saying it's a great and wonderful thing, but really? | ||
But is this really what you wanted? | ||
I mean, what even is this? | ||
As far as I can tell, just literally nobody knows what to make of this. | ||
So we're going to break it all down. | ||
We're going to break it all down and tell you what we think is going on and some potential outcomes of this. | ||
Is it a negotiation tactic? | ||
Is it... | ||
Trump just being Israel's lapdog? | ||
Or is it 5D chess to destroy Israel eventually? | ||
I don't think so. | ||
No, I don't think it's any of those things, really. | ||
And some of the statements Trump has made seem a bit troubling to me. | ||
In fact, I think it was last week that I laid out this exactly. | ||
We'll go to some clips of Trump and we'll... | ||
We'll talk about it here on the other side, but that is your Daily Dispatch. | ||
Brought to you, of course, by thealexjonesstore.com. | ||
Go to thealexjonesstore.com slash Harrison if you want to let him know who sent you. | ||
You can get some very, very powerful products there. | ||
And of course, like I said, I mean, if you want an analysis of what Trump is doing with Gaza, you're going to want to avoid every other outlet except for Infowars. | ||
Every other outlet's going to have one form of bias or another tainting their coverage. | ||
InfoWars, I can guarantee you, all of us are just looking at this in an America First perspective and trying to understand it in a way that is just not going to be true for pretty much any other organization, mainstream, or alternative. | ||
Now, a little bit later in the show, I will be joined by Josiah Lippincott. | ||
He's a veteran and political scientist. | ||
Who has recently made a triumphant return to X after being banned for a while. | ||
And just has a very fascinating insight into all things political and geopolitical. | ||
So stay tuned to hear from him. | ||
He's been making very big waves on X these days. | ||
But let's begin with... | ||
We're probably going to spend a lot of the show on today, which is what Trump is suggesting and proposing for the future of Gaza. | ||
And we've got some clips to go to here. | ||
Let's go to clip number three first. | ||
Here's the announcement of – actually, let's go to clip number seven. | ||
This is the announcement of Trump during the press conference with Bibi Netanyahu yesterday. | ||
Let's watch. | ||
The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it, too. | ||
We'll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site. | ||
Level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out, create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area. | ||
Do a real job, do something different, just can't go back. | ||
If you go back, it's gonna end up the same way it has for 100 years. | ||
So, not a bad statement on the face of it. | ||
He wants to rebuild. | ||
I mean, clearly he's looking at this like a developer and a statesman. | ||
He wants to rebuild it. | ||
He says, the people of the area, we will own it. | ||
He says, America will own it. | ||
Which is a little weird. | ||
Which is a little odd. | ||
Trump is doing a lot for Israel these days. | ||
And we'll go through the list of what that looks like. | ||
But I can't help but think it's a little weird for Israel to wage a year-long war over a piece of land that they very clearly want to annex in the same way that they're doing with the West Bank, the Golan Heights, and areas of South Lebanon. | ||
unidentified
|
on. | |
Thank you. | ||
They don't want this owned by America. | ||
There's no way that Israel's plan was to have America take Gaza as a protectorate. | ||
So to me, the obvious outcome of this, the way I see this playing out sort of at first blush, is Israel destroys Gaza completely. | ||
Just absolutely, it's rubble now. | ||
It is insane the level of destruction they've wrought on that area. | ||
Killed God only knows how many people. | ||
That's another question sort of arising from the statements Trump made as the numbers that he gave for how many Palestinians are alive now. | ||
It seemed to suggest that something like 500,000 Palestinians have died in the last year, which I don't think is out of the range of possibility, personally. | ||
And it seems like America will go in, rebuild it, spend our money, send our soldiers in, who will likely come under attack. | ||
Hamas is not going to be okay with this. | ||
We're going to rebuild it, and then it will be Administered by Americans, technically, but there will almost certainly be dual citizen Israelis like Jared Kushner, who just a few months ago talked about what great beachfront property Gaza would be for him or somebody like him to develop. | ||
And it will be developed and it will be grown in American lives and dollars will be spent to rebuild it under the administration of American Israelis and then they'll sell the land or Hand it back to Israel at some point. | ||
It's actually exactly how Israel got started. | ||
This actually happened in history. | ||
The British mandate of Palestine. | ||
The British took over control. | ||
Stabilized the area. | ||
Established infrastructure. | ||
And then Israel committed a bunch of terrorist attacks. | ||
And diplomatically basically forced them to leave. | ||
And then took it over. | ||
So are we seeing just an American mandate here? | ||
Where America... | ||
Manpower and dollars will be spent to secure the land that will then be transferred over to Israel. | ||
That seems to be the sort of inevitable process, unless Trump has something else up his sleeve. | ||
But he made some other interesting comments on this. | ||
Let's go down to clip number three. | ||
Is this about people? | ||
Because the other thing is, clearly, they're in this constant state of war. | ||
They have been for decades. | ||
Nothing is changing. | ||
Despite just brutal and relentless bombing for a year, Hamas is apparently just as strong as it ever was. | ||
The numbers again are conflicting, but something between 8,000 and 17,000 Hamas soldiers were killed over the last year, but they recruited an equal number. | ||
So they're not really diminished to any massive capacity. | ||
Israel never sent in the... | ||
Ground forces necessary to actually clear out the tunnels of Hamas. | ||
So no major changes happen there. | ||
So could this be Trump just trying to change the feedback loop, trying to do something that will eventually lead to ultimate peace? | ||
That would be the most generous interpretation of what Trump is doing. | ||
Let's go down to clip number three. | ||
Here's Trump talking about the necessity for peace in the area. | ||
unidentified
|
To follow up on what you were saying about the Gazans leaving Gaza, going to other countries. | |
One, where exactly are you suggesting that they should go? | ||
And two, are you saying they should return after it's rebuilt? | ||
And if not, who do you envision living there? | ||
I envision the world, people living there, the world's people. | ||
I think you'll make that into an international, unbelievable place. | ||
I think the potential in the Gaza Strip is unbelievable. | ||
And I think the entire world, representatives from all over the world will be there and they'll live there. | ||
Palestinians also. | ||
Palestinians will live there. | ||
Many people will live there. | ||
But they've tried the other and they've tried it for decades and decades and decades. | ||
It's not going to work. | ||
It didn't work. | ||
It will never work. | ||
And you have to learn from history. | ||
History just can't let it keep repeating itself. | ||
We have an opportunity to do something that could be Phenomenal. | ||
And I don't want to be cute. | ||
I don't want to be a wise guy. | ||
But the Riviera of the Middle East, this could be something that could be so magnificent. | ||
But more importantly than that is the people that have been absolutely destroyed that live there now can live in peace in a much better situation because they're living in hell. | ||
And those people will now be able to live in peace. | ||
We'll make sure that it's done world class. | ||
It'll be wonderful for the people. | ||
Palestinians, Palestinians, mostly we're talking about. | ||
And I have a feeling that despite them saying no, I have a feeling that the king in Jordan and that the general president, but that the general in Egypt will open their hearts and will give us the kind of land that we need to get this done. | ||
And people can live in harmony and peace. | ||
Thank you all very much. | ||
So a couple things about that. | ||
He's talking about displacing basically the entire Palestinian population, saying he wants to send them to Jordan or Egypt, which obviously I would prefer over them going to Europe or America. | ||
But that's really not going to happen. | ||
That's not going to happen because this has played out in history before areas that take in Palestinian refugees become the next target for Israel. | ||
It's exactly what happened in Lebanon where... | ||
A bunch of Palestinians went to Lebanon. | ||
Palestinians started attacking Israel from Lebanese territory. | ||
And at the time that that first started happening, Lebanon was the Riviera of the East. | ||
Beirut was called Paris on the Mediterranean. | ||
It was a thriving and multicultural, prosperous nation until they accepted Palestinian refugees out of the goodness of their heart and got screwed over. | ||
By the entire global community and gave Israel the justification for waging war against them. | ||
So Egypt and Jordan don't want to go down that road. | ||
So what happens next? | ||
unidentified
|
All right, welcome back. | |
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the American Journal. | ||
You know, yesterday we, I covered for a bit the anti-Semitism bill or task force that had been established in the DOJ. | ||
And then during that I talked about, you know, the fact that everything Trump is doing that's good, a lot of stuff, almost all of it has a little caveat, has a little asterisk next to it. | ||
And it's always this carve-out for Israel or, you know, anti-Semitism or whatever it is. | ||
And so I post that video and it goes a little bit viral and we post the full clip. | ||
And then he's talking about Iran assassinating him. | ||
And it's like, this is such a bad move. | ||
I'll show you that clip in just a second. | ||
But I'm kind of like... | ||
I post a couple of these things and I'm thinking, okay, alright. | ||
I'm going to lay off this topic for a little while now. | ||
Because this isn't my thing, right? | ||
Being anti-Israel isn't my thing. | ||
Being anti-New World Order is my thing. | ||
Being pro-peace is my thing. | ||
But you tend to get categorized when it comes to, you know, how you feel about Israel. | ||
And I, it's just like, you know, I'm just gonna, I'm gonna talk about other stuff for a little. | ||
I'm not gonna tweet about this topic for a little while. | ||
And then he holds this press conference. | ||
Whereas BB Netanyahu is in town. | ||
So it's just like a daily stuff. | ||
So it's like, all right, I guess I'm talking about this. | ||
I guess we gotta talk about this. | ||
And the other thing is like, I don't even know how to explain this. | ||
I really hate pandering. | ||
I hate being pandered to. | ||
I hate feeling like I'm pandering. | ||
It's very easy. | ||
It's easy. | ||
It's funny because people are like, you won't talk about Israel because you just want to get paid. | ||
You're just trying to build yourself up. | ||
That's why you're not. | ||
And it's like, first of all, I talk about it all the time so much that it's a problem. | ||
But then the fact is, The easiest thing in the world is to get popular on the anti-Israel X or the anti-Semitic X or whatever. | ||
It's so easy and it makes me feel gross. | ||
I tweeted out something the other day when we were talking about being a press person at the White House. | ||
Somebody asked, what questions would you ask? | ||
So I said, I would ask, why quarters have ridges? | ||
Just as a funny little inside joke. | ||
But quarters have ridges because of coin shaving. | ||
When they were made of precious metals, people would shave down the edges of coins. | ||
So you couldn't tell they'd been tampered with, but you'd get a little bit of precious metal and you do that enough with enough coins and you diminish the value of the money. | ||
And that's something that a lot of people did whenever there was precious metal. | ||
But the Jews were kicked out of England in the 1200s for doing that. | ||
But anyway, so I just posted this kind of funny thing saying, why do coins have ridges? | ||
And it's like, 10,000 likes. | ||
And everybody's like, oh, wow, you're so amazing. | ||
It's just like, ugh. | ||
I just feel gross. | ||
It's just like, shut up. | ||
You people are too easy. | ||
You're too easy to please. | ||
It's annoying to me. | ||
I don't like doing it. | ||
It makes me feel like, I don't know, shooting fish in a barrel. | ||
It's like, have you ever gone fishing in a stocked pond? | ||
It's like, not fun. | ||
You want the challenge. | ||
Anyway, it's, I don't know. | ||
I don't like pandering. | ||
Also, it's just frustrating because it turns out whenever you talk about being anti-Israel or you say something that is anti-Israel, it's the anti-Israel people that annoy you most. | ||
This is something people don't realize. | ||
People are like, oh, people don't talk about Israel because they're scared to talk about it. | ||
It's like, no, it's because when you say something that's anti-Israel or you call out Jewish powerful groups having influence in American government. | ||
You're bombarded with the worst people in the world, and it's not the Jews. | ||
I've never, I don't think I've, well, that's not true. | ||
I have had threats from Talmudic networks, if you will. | ||
So that is true. | ||
They have threatened me. | ||
But in general, my comments are not flooded with a bunch of Israeli people calling me an anti-Semite. | ||
There's a little bit of that, but far, far more than that are the anti-Jew people. | ||
Who come in and demand that you go farther, demand that you say more, demand that you pledge loyalty to the Reich or whatever it is. | ||
It sucks and it's frustrating and it's annoying and it's funny because people ask, they're scared of Israel, that's why they don't talk. | ||
It's like, no, it's literally the opposite. | ||
It's literally because being associated with the most asocial, annoying, obnoxious people on the internet is not fun. | ||
I don't want to be associated with most of the people who comment positively when I talk about this stuff. | ||
The point of all of this is to say that what you're getting from InfoWars, what you're getting from me personally, is actually unbiased. | ||
I actually do not have a dog in this fight. | ||
I do not have a preordained position when it comes to Israel and Gaza, Israel and Palestine. | ||
Now that being said, sometimes when you approach a situation from an unbiased, unencumbered, You still come out with a conclusion as to who's right and who's wrong, who's being good and who's being bad in that situation. | ||
So you can present to me a situation, not tell me who you're talking about and just say, here's what's happening. | ||
These people did this. | ||
These people did this. | ||
Who's the good guy? | ||
Who's the bad guy? | ||
And I'll tell you and I'll come to the same conclusion if you say, well, ha, this person was Israel and this was Palestine. | ||
It's like, I don't care. | ||
I don't care who it is. | ||
I care what they're doing. | ||
Why they're doing it, what their motivations are, what they're trying to achieve, how it impacts America. | ||
That's it. | ||
That's it. | ||
And I don't have advertisers that are going to withdraw their support. | ||
And Alex Jones has been kind enough to never try to influence me one way or another when talking about this stuff, even though we disagree on some of it. | ||
So again, all that is to say, coming to this totally unbiased and with a A genuine desire not to pander to either side. | ||
I'm not on either side. | ||
I frankly am just annoyed that there are these sides that I have to talk about. | ||
And I just want peace. | ||
And I have a feeling Trump is in that same mindset. | ||
But if you remember last week, I was talking about how the powers that be, whose ultimate plan, I believe, is to create a one-world government whose headquarters and capital is in Jerusalem, is in Israel. | ||
And it will serve as the basis, the new and improved UN, the EU 2.0, the global government will be housed in Israel. | ||
And I was talking about how the people that are pushing us towards this are doing it. | ||
Their main strategy is causing crises and then supplying the so-called solution to that. | ||
It's just the Hegelian dialectic writ large and employed over and over and over again in exactly the same way. | ||
And it keeps happening. | ||
And it's frustrating because they do set up win-win situations for themselves. | ||
Israel is a great example. | ||
The Israel war is a great example. | ||
And I was saying, you know, you look at this quagmire, this centuries at this point long, relentless conflict between these two groups. | ||
And, you know, the conclusion that you kind of come to is like, oh, look, maybe like neither of these groups should own it. | ||
Maybe it should just be like an international place. | ||
Maybe it should, oh, right, okay, that's exactly what they want. | ||
Right, that is the ultimate goal, is for it to be an international city, which is setting it up to be the international capital of the global government. | ||
And that's what Trump just said. | ||
So the clip that we just saw, where they said, who's going to be living there? | ||
He said, well, everybody will be international, be in an international place. | ||
And it's like, oh, okay. | ||
No, no, I don't want that. | ||
This to be a zone not controlled by any one nation, just an international sort of, you know, internationally managed area. | ||
Like, no, that's what the global government is moving towards. | ||
That's what they want. | ||
It's Palestinian land. | ||
It should remain Palestinian as far as I'm concerned. | ||
Not because I'm Palestinian. | ||
Okay. | ||
Okay. | ||
Again, it's funny. | ||
It's frustrating. | ||
It is practically a 50-50 split whether I'm called an Iranian shill or an Israeli shill. | ||
Whether people say I'm a vicious anti-Semite, Hamas operative, or a tightly controlled Mossad agent. | ||
It's like a 50-50 split. | ||
That's what happens when you just actually approach things from an objective and Christian perspective. | ||
It's funny. | ||
It's funny how that works, isn't it? | ||
So funny. | ||
So Trump says he wants it to be an international area. | ||
I don't like that. | ||
I don't like that at all. | ||
But he also says, of course, Palestinians will be in charge of it. | ||
Or not necessarily in charge of it, but they'll be there. | ||
They'll be home. | ||
But he also wants Jordan and Egypt to take them in. | ||
Again, that's, I don't think, going to happen. | ||
They know, Jordan and Egypt know full well that that means eventual war with Israel. | ||
It's practically a guarantee. | ||
It's a guarantee the Palestinians aren't going to give up their fight. | ||
They haven't yet. | ||
It's been 80 years. | ||
They've been throwing rocks at tanks. | ||
I mean, you've never heard of a more hopeless cause, but they'll never give it up. | ||
Like, they're committed. | ||
And I think it's an admirable way. | ||
I would hope that if Texas got invaded, Texans, four generations from now, would still be, you know, trying to regain it, trying to retain our ancestral land. | ||
I don't know if we would. | ||
I don't know if we'd have the tenacity to keep that going until my great-grandsons are, again, you know, using makeshift slings to launch rocks at million-dollar advanced tanks. | ||
They're dogged. | ||
I'll give them that. | ||
So they're not going to give it up. | ||
They're going to launch attacks from wherever they go, which is just going to give Israel, the license they want to go to war with Egypt or Jordan or whoever takes them. | ||
Is Trump just being played here? | ||
Saudi Arabia contradicts Trump, vows no ties with Israel without creation of a Palestinian state. | ||
What is Trump trying to do? | ||
What is he doing here? | ||
Most of the evidence points towards... | ||
Yes, Trump is being played. | ||
Trump is being controlled. | ||
I don't know. | ||
I mean, for the first time, I'm actually like, okay, do they have video? | ||
Okay, is it a little boy or a little girl? | ||
Like, what do they have on Trump? | ||
Because this doesn't make any sense. | ||
It doesn't make any sense how much he's giving to Israel. | ||
I get, you know, making deals. | ||
I get going, hey, they gave me $100 million. | ||
I could rename an embassy like that. | ||
Who cares? | ||
Right? | ||
I get that deal-making. | ||
Sort of strategy that Trump can employ, and I don't necessarily blame him for it. | ||
It's just the way the political landscape is in America these days. | ||
But the amount that he's given them and the way in which he's bending over backwards to them, I can't make any sense of it. | ||
In fact, let's go to the video, clip number 12. This to me, it's so baffling. | ||
It's so nonsensical. | ||
I cannot understand it for the life of me. | ||
In any way. | ||
I can't understand it as 5D chess. | ||
I can't understand it for what it appears on the face. | ||
I can't understand why Trump would do something like this. | ||
And it's not even... | ||
We'll go to the clip and I'll elaborate on the other side. | ||
But this is the type of thing that I... Most of the time I can understand what the strategy is, what the 5D chess is. | ||
In this case, I'm just completely thrown for a loop. | ||
Let's go to clip number 12. It's Iran and their proxies who have threatened to retaliate against you and your team by killing you guys for taking out Soleimani. | ||
Well, they haven't done that, and that would be a terrible thing for them to do. | ||
Not because of me. | ||
If they did that, they would be obliterated. | ||
That would be the end. | ||
I've left instructions. | ||
If they do it, they get obliterated. | ||
There won't be anything left. | ||
And they shouldn't be able to do it. | ||
And Biden should have said that, but he never did. | ||
I don't know why. | ||
Lack of intelligence, perhaps. | ||
But he never said it. | ||
If that happens to a leader, or close to a leader, frankly, if you had other people involved also, you would call for total obliteration of a state that did it. | ||
That would include Iran. | ||
So there's one thing that we know about Israel is that they have been agitating for war with Iran, for America to get into war with Iran. | ||
Israel's not about to go to war with Iran without America there to do all the fighting and dying on their behalf. | ||
That's what they've wanted for literally decades. | ||
It's like comical how desperate they are for war with Iran with Bibi Netanyahu filling in the cartoon bomb in front of the UN. Going, oh, we're two weeks away. | ||
We've been two weeks away from a nuclear bomb for 50 years. | ||
It's absurd. | ||
It's ridiculous. | ||
They're desperate for war with Iran. | ||
So what Trump just did was announce that if he's killed by Iran, if he's killed and it's blamed on Iran, he's left instructions to obliterate Iran and go to war with Iran. | ||
So he's sitting there telling... | ||
The most prolific assassins in the history of the world, Mossad, Rise and Killford. | ||
I mean, the entire concept of targeted killings, assassinations as a diplomatic and war strategy was created and developed and employed by Mossad above all. | ||
They are the greatest assassins to ever live. | ||
He tells them... | ||
The only thing standing between you and the thing that you've wanted for decades is me. | ||
You kill me and you get war with Iran. | ||
If I die and you blame it on Iran, and of course the media will blame it on Iran, of course the politicians will blame it on Iran. | ||
They'll get away with it. | ||
If they kill Trump, everybody will blame it on Iran. | ||
It'll be ridiculous, but that's what they'll do. | ||
So what explains this? | ||
I can't explain this. | ||
I can't. | ||
It's like you can say, well, you know, Trump took a lot of money from Israeli donors. | ||
So, you know, maybe that's why he does certain things. | ||
But you're telling me that they go, hey, here's $100 million. | ||
Can we kill you now? | ||
Can we kill you and start a war in your name? | ||
And he's like, yeah, $100 million is a lot of money. | ||
Like, no, that's not. | ||
So I don't even understand what explains this. | ||
The only thing I could possibly think would be like, Trump is so confident that he's not going to get killed that he's saying this to like bug them. | ||
I don't know. | ||
Honestly, I just can't even make heads or tails of it. | ||
It's the stupidest thing he's ever done. | ||
He's telling Mossad, the greatest assassins in the history of the world, if you kill me, America will go to war with Iran. | ||
And I've left instructions in that. | ||
Even if it's a bluff, it's like if he's dead, people are just going to go, look, here's the note he left. | ||
It says, go to war with Iran forever. | ||
He's dead. | ||
He's not going to be able to contradict that. | ||
It just makes no sense. | ||
It is insane. | ||
It's baffling to me why he would say this. | ||
So I don't know. | ||
I have no conclusions about this. | ||
I don't know what he's doing here. | ||
Trump calls for nuclear peace agreement with Iran rather than blowing the country to smithereens. | ||
That's the thing. | ||
It's like he doesn't want to go to war with Iran. | ||
But he's sitting here going, but we will demolish them completely if they kill me. | ||
Crazy. | ||
Crazy. | ||
Okay. | ||
Nick Fuentes on Twitter points out, last night both the Telegraph and the New York Times reported that Iran is racing towards a nuclear bomb. | ||
Just in time for Trump's meeting with Netanyahu today. | ||
What a coincidence! | ||
So on the 3rd of February, both New York Times and The Telegraph reported Iran is developing plans for faster, cruder weapons. | ||
They're about to make a nuclear bomb. | ||
So again, this is the cooperation of the mainstream media to give negotiation power to the Israelis so they can point to that and go, look, even your own press, even your own press that we totally don't control is saying this. | ||
So that's how you know it's true. | ||
So again, what Trump has done for the Israelis in just the first two weeks is like a little bit more than he's done for Americans, to be honest with you. | ||
Netanyahu thanks Trump for executive order on fighting anti-Semitism. | ||
That's one that we covered yesterday. | ||
Trump asked Congress to approve transfer of another 4,700, 1,000-pound bombs to Israel, removing limitations placed on Israel arm transfers by the Biden administration. | ||
U.S. freezes foreign aid for almost all countries, including Ukraine, except Israel and Turkey. | ||
So again, he not only excludes Israel alone, basically, and their neighbors who were bribing not to go to war with them from the foreign aid removal, but they also just approved a $1 billion arms package to Israel. | ||
So we're cutting foreign aid across the board, except for Israel that we're upgrading by a billion dollars because we don't give them enough billions of dollars every single year. | ||
Cool. | ||
Defunding the UNRWA, the human rights organization that Israel accuses of helping Hamas when it seems like the vast majority of their operations are getting food to starving people, but that's a different story. | ||
Removing ourselves from the UN... Refugee and resettlement, but also a number of other UN branches that help out Gaza, removing us from that. | ||
And of course, we'll find and deport you. | ||
Trump ordered on anti-Semitism, where he says they're going to deport anti-Semites. | ||
Okay, so you can burn an American flag and stay in this country, burn an Israeli flag and you get deported. | ||
Just none of this makes any sense. | ||
And then he adds Jews to the minority business thing. | ||
Again, it's like... | ||
We're cutting out diversity, getting rid of DEI, except for Jews, of course. | ||
Except for them, they're now being added to it while everybody else is being removed. | ||
It just doesn't make any sense. | ||
It's bizarre. | ||
So everything he's done so far, not everything, but he's done a lot of great stuff for America. | ||
He's done a lot of great stuff clearing out, but he's done a lot for Israel in the first two weeks. | ||
A lot. | ||
unidentified
|
A lot. | |
And a lot of what he's done for America has excluded Israel or American Jews from the other measures that he's taken. | ||
So it's hard to say in this case he's suddenly going totally against Israel. | ||
However, he does have a very complicated history with Bibi Netanyahu and as recently as two weeks ago was publishing videos calling Netanyahu an evil son of a female dog. | ||
So what's happening here? | ||
It's all very confusing. | ||
Maybe Steve Witkoff can shine some more light on this situation. | ||
Clip number five, Steve Witkoff on Gaza. | ||
When the president talks about clearing it out, he's talking about making it habitable. | ||
Let's hear what Steve Witkoff, this is the envoy that helped get the ceasefire agreement going. | ||
This is his envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff. | ||
Here it is. | ||
When the president talks about cleaning it out. | ||
He talks about making it habitable, and this is a long-range plan. | ||
They've dug tunnels underneath there that have basically degraded the stone that you make that would form foundations. | ||
We have to examine that. | ||
You do it with borings. | ||
You do it with subterranean surveys. | ||
unidentified
|
How long could that tell you? | |
And this guy knows real estate. | ||
It's years on top of years. | ||
The disposal effort in Gaza. | ||
Is we estimate three to five years just to dispose of all the things before you can look down beneath the surface of the soil and then before you get a master plan done. | ||
And the president is intent on getting it all done correctly. | ||
So to me, it is unfair to have explained to Palestinians that they might be back in five years. | ||
That's just preposterous. | ||
unidentified
|
And he's just taking a common sense approach. | |
The president said he worked on expanding the Abraham Accord. | ||
So again, saying it's preposterous that they'd be back in five years. | ||
unidentified
|
you Thank you. | |
Again, Hamas is not destroyed. | ||
It's hardly even diminished. | ||
They apparently, you know, totally replenished their numbers in terms of the number of Hamas leaders actually killed. | ||
But Trump has said that, you know, it'd be American boots on the ground helping to do the clearing up and rebuilding of Gaza. | ||
Does that mean we're about to get into another war in the Middle East? | ||
I mean, it seems, honestly, it seems preposterous that that is the case. | ||
Trump has dedicated so much of his effort into not being the warmongering president, into breaking the habit of American statesmen of just starting wars overseas from which we gain nothing. | ||
It's bizarre. | ||
It really is bizarre. | ||
Now, one final note on this. | ||
We are going to move on to some other topics here. | ||
People have noticed clip number two. | ||
It's like, this is all we've got, really. | ||
It's a little bit desperate. | ||
This is all we've got. | ||
Let's go to clip number two here. | ||
And we can just, yeah, let's go ahead and roll it. | ||
You see Bibi Nanyahu while Trump is talking. | ||
And we'll do a job with it too. | ||
We'll own it. | ||
And he's- And be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site. | ||
unidentified
|
Level the site and get rid of the- He's kinda smirking. | |
Buildings, level it out, create an economic- He's kind of fidgeting. | ||
So people are looking at this and going, did Netanyahu know Trump was gonna say this? | ||
Or was Trump negotiating in real time? | ||
That was what Clint from Liberty Lockdown suggested. | ||
He's like, is Trump negotiating in real time? | ||
Was this a surprise, Bibi Netanyahu? | ||
Because it's true, I can't imagine Israel being like, oh, we just fought for a year over Gaza, let's give it to America. | ||
Unless it's like, let's give it to America, and really it's just Israelis in America that will be managing it, and it'll just be our money and our blood that will pay for it. | ||
I don't know. | ||
I just don't know, but so far all signs are pointing towards this being a giant screwjob, and... | ||
Potentially threatening the entire presidency of Donald Trump just two weeks in. | ||
Because nobody is in favor of this. | ||
Nobody, nobody, nobody. | ||
Except for a few Israeli-Americans, I guess, who I've heard speak positively about this. | ||
Being like, no, it's good because now Gaza will have the rights of America. | ||
It'll be American law. | ||
It's like, eh. | ||
I don't have such a sanguine view. | ||
Alright, welcome back, folks. | ||
This is the American Journal. | ||
We're going to be joined momentarily by Josiah Lippincott, who is retaken X by Storm. | ||
Stay tuned for that. | ||
But I want to go to a couple videos. | ||
We'll probably only be able to go to one here. | ||
And it has to do with just when you're watching something and you feel like you're watching through some sort of distortion, inversion field, and you realize just how disconnected and bizarre And wrong the mindset of liberals are. | ||
It took me a while to even figure out what the hell this skit was about. | ||
This is from The Daily Show, talking about Trump going after DEI policies. | ||
And you will not believe the conclusion that they're coming to. | ||
Let's watch. | ||
Josh, what are you hearing about the DEI initiatives? | ||
unidentified
|
John, what this administration is doing is dangerous. | |
It is the perversion of the dream of Martin Luther King Jr. They've turned it into a nightmare. | ||
Where the content of a person's character is judged by the color of their skin. | ||
From the White House, I'm Desi Laik. | ||
So, I was kind of confused at this. | ||
You know, Daily Show, every once in a while, will maybe accidentally be a little bit based. | ||
I mean, they have to actually make humor, so, you know, the leftists are so... | ||
Completely insane. | ||
Occasionally they take that low-hanging fruit and make fun of them. | ||
So at first I'm watching this and I'm like, so wait, are they... | ||
They're talking about how DEI is a perversion of the... | ||
No, wait. | ||
No, they're saying that getting rid of DEI is a perversion of the Martin Luther King dreams. | ||
Martin Luther King's dream, you'll be judged by the content of your character, not the color of your skin. | ||
DEI is directly antithetical to that. | ||
These people are so backwards, so inverted, they think it's the exact opposite. | ||
They think that getting rid of DEI means that you're now valuing people on the color of their skin, not the content of their character. | ||
It took me a second to realize what even they're saying because it is a direct inversion. | ||
It is a one-to-one, complete opposite of reality. | ||
They're actually making the case here that getting rid of DEI... It means that you are running a oppression Olympics, you know, layers of importance. | ||
It's truly bizarre. | ||
Let's go back. | ||
But yes, they're actually claiming that getting rid of DEI is a violation of Martin Luther King's dream of you'll be judged by the content of your character, not the color of your skin. | ||
It's total inversion. | ||
Let's keep watching. | ||
unidentified
|
Wait, what's going on? | |
I'm sorry, Desi, this is Josh's report. | ||
Oh, you guys didn't get the executive order? | ||
We can't do DEI anymore. | ||
You're replacing me, but you're a woman. | ||
Yeah, a white woman. | ||
White woman beats black guy? | ||
Look, white women don't make the rules. | ||
We just tacitly embrace them through our overwhelming support of Donald Trump as a voting bloc. | ||
We should be on the same side. | ||
We should be on the same side. | ||
unidentified
|
White women, black men, both held down by the white man. | |
Yes, but the white man is my husband. | ||
And sometimes he lets me have rights as a treat. | ||
And I love my little treats. | ||
It's so cringy. | ||
The sad thing is, this is the quality of people that are going to be running our government if the Democrats have their way. | ||
It's theater kid. | ||
This is theater kid comedy. | ||
It's not funny, but it's also... | ||
Just very weirdly inverted. | ||
So again, they're claiming that by getting rid of DEI, you're establishing some sort of oppression hierarchy. | ||
The perfect response. | ||
Again, it is literally the complete inversion. | ||
In fact, let's keep going to it because they expand on this a little bit. | ||
But it is funny that they give the game away a little bit where they're like, well, wait. | ||
Black guy and white women. | ||
We all have the same enemy, white men. | ||
Don't we all have the same enemy? | ||
Are we all on the same sides, white men versus everybody else? | ||
It's like, oh, wait, but I thought, wait a second, so you're in favor of everybody aligning by immutable characteristics to go after these people for their immutable characteristics, and that means that you're in line with MLK? It's incomprehensible. | ||
Let's keep watching. | ||
unidentified
|
Most competent people will... | |
Hoist it with my own petard. | ||
That's right. | ||
It's totally petarded, which is something we can say now. | ||
We'll be right back. | ||
Welcome back. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the American Journal, Infowars.com, Band.video. | ||
Very happy to be joined today by Josiah Lippincott. | ||
He's a veteran, a political scientist who's been published in American Greatness, Real Clear Policy, and The American Mind, amongst others. | ||
You can follow him on X at jlippincott underscore, that's jlippincott underscore, with two P's and two T's. | ||
Josiah, thank you so much for joining us today. | ||
Hey, thank you so much for having me on, Harrison. | ||
My pleasure. | ||
Just give me a breakdown of your... | ||
What has Trump been able to achieve over the last two weeks? | ||
What grade do you give him? | ||
Oh, this is the first A-plus presidency of the—I'm going to say something radical—of the entire post-1945 order. | ||
Trump has launched a spiritual all-out assault on the modern American left. | ||
He's going after their sources of funding. | ||
You know, he's going after their personnel. | ||
He's going after the entire network. | ||
But most importantly, Trump is absolutely taking an axe to the left's legitimacy. | ||
And we're seeing that happen in real time. | ||
For my entire life, what has given the American left its power is its moral center. | ||
It's the idea that they're moral, they're just, they're right. | ||
And right now, Donald Trump is taking an axe to that fundamental axiom. | ||
And it's incredible to watch. | ||
It is. | ||
It's incredible to see lefties flail and be confronted by this. | ||
Clearly, it's funny because they've announced what they're doing. | ||
I mean, Trump and Steve Bannon and all of them said, we're flooding the zone. | ||
We're doing so much so fast that they can't keep up with it. | ||
And even announcing that's their strategy, there's nothing the press can do. | ||
They can't keep up with it. | ||
Too much stuff is happening. | ||
I mean, what do you think happens with the Democratic Party here on out? | ||
And what do we need to do in the next four years to just make sure that this... | ||
Trend continues, because we don't want this thing to fizzle out with Trump, right? | ||
Yeah, I think the Democratic Party is in a really bad place right now, and I don't think it's going to get better quickly. | ||
I call 2020 the monkey's paw curls election. | ||
The Democrats got what they wanted all right. | ||
They got Donald Trump out, and they got to install their guy. | ||
But they paid an enormous price for that, a price in legitimacy, because it turns out that Joe Biden... | ||
was immensely unpopular. | ||
And all of the things that the left was pushing in this moment of quote-unquote crisis surrounding COVID were just deeply radicalizing for the American people, but more importantly for American young people. | ||
There is just a massive generational divide right now. | ||
Between the old way of doing things, the old establishment, and this new young wave of young right wing and conservative voices who really want to finally take their country back. | ||
And Trump is showing them how to do it. | ||
And you're asking what we need to do going forward. | ||
I think the priority right now is just to keep the foot on the gas for the next four years. | ||
We need to do everything that we've promised to the American people. | ||
And we need to elect J.D. Vance in 2028. Vance was just a masterstroke pick at VP. He's smart. | ||
He's ambitious. | ||
And he has a genuine, authentic love of his people, of the American people, and of the upper Midwest in particular. | ||
And so I think when you combine those things together, Trump is just setting himself up for success and for the protection of his legacy in the long run. | ||
It's going to take work. | ||
There's a lot to be done. | ||
Based off of the connections that I have in Washington, D.C., what I see is immensely inspiring. | ||
I think there's just a new generation of young conservative operators who the left has no answer for right now. | ||
And it brings me a lot of hope. | ||
It does to me as well. | ||
And you bring up J.D. Vance, and I was going to bring him up too because I think what you're describing is sort of summed up in maybe the first meme of the first real sticking meme of the Trump administration, which is J.D. Vance giving that interview saying, I don't care, Margaret. | ||
I just don't care. | ||
I'm not going to be browbeaten by your crocodile tears anymore. | ||
And it's like, where has that attitude been for my entire life? | ||
And how do we get the rest of the Republicans to understand that that's literally all it takes. | ||
You don't have to argue with them. | ||
You don't have to try to prove them wrong. | ||
They're never going to admit that they're wrong. | ||
wrong, you just have to ignore them. | ||
I mean, I get like I feel like that encapsulates, you know, what this Trump administration is bringing is just the understanding that like we don't have to be slaves to these people's feelings anymore. | ||
It's really amazing. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And I think J.D. Vance is he's young, right? | ||
He's one of the youngest senators. | ||
He might have even been the youngest there for a time. | ||
I mean, he's 40 right now. | ||
And he, for one, is extremely intelligent, but he's also spent a lot of time online. | ||
And you can see that. | ||
He has a very cultivated voice that he uses on social media. | ||
And from my understanding, that's actually him. | ||
There's no... | ||
Mediation between Vance and social media. | ||
He's interacting directly. | ||
And you talk about where was that attitude of just, I don't care about what the left says or feels. | ||
And that attitude was being inculcated online over the last 10 years. | ||
And there is so much that we as the American people owe to the online anonymous right who continue to push the Overton window wide open and craft funny messaging, but also intellectually compelling messaging. | ||
That is appealing to really talented young people who've been locked out of positions of power. | ||
One of the ramifications of DEI is that you have deprioritized talented young white men from positions of power and influence. | ||
And so by doing that, you have put them at odds with the current system. | ||
And it turns out that's an incredibly valuable population. | ||
And right now, they are fully, solidly in the Donald Trump, J.D. Vance camp. | ||
And that's going to have enormous ramifications for the long term. | ||
And the left just simply does not have an answer right now. | ||
I know. | ||
And it really is fun. | ||
I mean, just realizing how close—I mean, literally millimeters away from Trump being assassinated. | ||
God only knows where he'd be now. | ||
So it's just worth—every morning, it's worth it to just wake up and go, Trump is president. | ||
Things are turning around. | ||
It's such a brilliant thing. | ||
J.D. Vance is saying, I don't care. | ||
What he's being questioned about, right, is like, well, was this person radicalized before they got here or after they got here? | ||
Is the process working or is it not? | ||
And he's just like, hey, he shouldn't be here. | ||
That's the answer. | ||
He shouldn't be here. | ||
We have these answers. | ||
How do we make the argument that this is actually the morally superior position to have? | ||
As you point out, the left has this morally superior position that they pretend to occupy in the mainstream media. | ||
And it's coming across to them, obviously, as very heartless and unkind, and we're just like, we don't care. | ||
Get them out of the country. | ||
How do we make the moral argument that, one way of putting it, I forget who the quote's from, is like, you know, sparing the sheep, or sparing the wolf is sacrificing the sheep. | ||
We want to protect the American people. | ||
That's our moral imperative, not handing everything over to foreigners. | ||
How do we make that moral argument to the American people? | ||
Yeah, I think it starts with talking about what we love. | ||
And I think... | ||
The first thing that I love is I love my country. | ||
I love my actual neighbors. | ||
I love my children. | ||
I love my family. | ||
I want to protect them. | ||
I want to give them a good life. | ||
And the reality is we cannot give all of our resources abroad and bring about a global utopia. | ||
That's not possible. | ||
And not only is it not possible, if we try and do it, it will destroy these things that we have in our... | ||
That we are immediately in charge of, that we're supposed to care for. | ||
So the left loves to talk about, well, we care about the least among us. | ||
It's like, well, I care about my children, who are defenseless, who really are the least among us. | ||
And what happens is the left just expands its pity for the weak, the dying, for things that are in complete collapse. | ||
And what the right needs to do is remind people that there's a need for tough love. | ||
And we need to orient that tough love. | ||
We do that for the sake of peace and prosperity. | ||
We do that for the sake of getting the most that we can actually achieve. | ||
It's understanding our limits politically. | ||
And the left does not understand limits. | ||
They don't believe in nature. | ||
They don't believe in hierarchy. | ||
They don't believe in borders. | ||
And that extends to everything. | ||
There's no border between men and women. | ||
There's no border between states. | ||
There's no border between... | ||
Friends and enemies. | ||
But what happens is by blending those concepts together by saying, well, everyone on Earth is our friend, except the people who don't believe in this framework, you've actually radicalized politics. | ||
You've made it even more totalitarian and more violent and brutal. | ||
And you can see that in the wars that we've waged abroad, especially in the last 20 to 30 years. | ||
The left wants to remake the world, and they're happy to sacrifice. | ||
Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians on that altar. | ||
They're happy to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, hundreds of thousands of Afghans. | ||
And the reality is the MAGA pro-America agenda is oriented toward how can we accomplish the core political aims of protection of the rights of the American people? | ||
How do we do that in a way that facilitates our prosperity and peace? | ||
And I think that aim is... | ||
is far more moral than anything the left has on offer. | ||
I completely agree, and it seems like USAID is sort of the perfect example of this, where it's called aid. | ||
It's supposed to be all nice. | ||
It's about, oh, America has all this wealth. | ||
Let's help the less fortunate. | ||
And then you look into what they're actually doing, and it's like, okay, you're trying to spread transgenderism to this deeply Christian country. | ||
You're trying to humiliate the Irish people by having an African woman berate them as she's singing her own language. | ||
So as you're pointing out, the left has this imperialistic mentality. | ||
When you look at everything USAID was doing, it wasn't helping anybody. | ||
It was about sowing discord. | ||
It was about weakening states that we want to take advantage of. | ||
It was an outlet of this imperialistic kind of American foreign... | ||
You know, foreign policy of war and domination and destroying anybody with the strength to stand up against us. | ||
That's why they have all of these programs everywhere. | ||
So it seems like USAID is sort of the perfect encapsulation of everything you're talking about. | ||
about the way the left preens about how moral they are while simultaneously just spreading death and destruction worldwide. | ||
And the moral thing is to actually cut that off, bring it back to where the money is supposed to be spent, which is with us. | ||
And then maybe once we get our house in order, we can actually benefit other people rather than just using supposed aid to further enslave them. | ||
Yeah, they should have called USAID USAID because that agency was a vector for spread of spiritual monkeypox on a global scale. | ||
And you can just see that. | ||
LGBTQIA, we need to spread that all over the planet. | ||
And if you look at the organic statute that created USAID back in 1961, the Act for International Development, if I remember correctly, it says there that the purpose of USAID is to spread and protect human dignity on a global scale. | ||
And that language of dignity is fundamentally liberal. | ||
And specifically comes from John Rawls. | ||
And the idea is we need to have everybody on Earth feel honored. | ||
And that's a mistake because not everybody on Earth needs to feel honored. | ||
And secondly, that's not the purpose of the American government. | ||
USAID is, I believe, one of the most profoundly evil government agencies today. | ||
And that's a real tough competition to win because there's a lot of competition. | ||
But USAID had a very involved role in Ukraine and really, in the full story, basically brought the war into being. | ||
USAID transferred government funds, and it's a complex web of funding. | ||
But basically what happens... | ||
What happened in Ukraine is that they funneled money to overturn the 2004 Ukrainian presidential election between Viktor Yanukovych and Viktor Yushchenko. | ||
And they got the pro-Western candidate Viktor Yushchenko into power, but by interfering with American money. | ||
We trained the judges, for instance, USAID money to overturn that election. | ||
And another kind of interesting facet of what's going on here is USAID gave money to the National Endowment for Democracy, which is ostensibly private or quasi-private. | ||
And then the National Endowment for Democracy gave money to these institutions called the National Democratic Institute and the International Republican Institute. | ||
Two bodies are actually the foreign policy arms of the Democratic and Republican parties, respectively. | ||
And so what that means is American politicians gave money to USAID to give to the Republican and Democratic parties and to the politicians that control those parties to spend that money abroad, overthrowing foreign governments that they didn't approve of. | ||
And this kind of funding model is fundamentally illegitimate. | ||
It is corrupt and it is unaccountable. | ||
And yet that's how D.C. has been operating for decades now. | ||
I just learned this morning that Politico received $8 million in fiscal year 2024 from USAID. And my understanding is that predominantly those were subscriptions to Politico's pro-publication model. | ||
So basically what's happening is the federal government is funding a media arm. | ||
I mean, this is an absolutely unaccountable and broken system. | ||
And I don't think the American people even comprehend just how deeply the rot goes. | ||
And I think Elon Musk is doing the Lord's work at Doge in just revealing and cutting off the funding supplies to just part of this international network. | ||
And my hope is that we can keep this going and eventually see accountability restored in Washington. | ||
I think that would be awesome. | ||
Absolutely, absolutely. | ||
And again, I think that's why it's important to make the moral case because obviously the way this is being portrayed to the average American person is they're just cutting aid. | ||
It's our USA. They're just letting poor people die. | ||
And it's like, that's why I think it's important to actually point out like, hey, they're spending $10 million teaching shrimp to do the salsa dance. | ||
Like this isn't about hurting anybody. | ||
It's about stopping not just the waste because the money is one part, but what they're doing with the money is hugely damaging to the people they're supposedly helping. | ||
I'm glad you brought, I was going to bring up the Politico thing. | ||
Keep preempting me on the topics I'm going to talk about. | ||
So we're very aligned, apparently. | ||
But this one came out yesterday. | ||
They say Politico reporters have not been paid after USAID payments were suspended. | ||
So people were guessing. | ||
They were going, oh, wait. | ||
They cut off USAID, and suddenly Politico is sending out an email saying, we're not going to be able to make your paychecks this week. | ||
And so people were speculating, wait, is this? | ||
Does this have something to do with each other? | ||
And it was just kind of a joke because it's like there's no way. | ||
There's no way they're actually not making payroll because they got cut off from USAID, but it's apparently been confirmed by Kyle Becker. | ||
Politico received USAID funds. | ||
Everything makes sense now. | ||
They apparently got $8.1 million in 2024 alone. | ||
So many of these organizations that they either call the free press or... | ||
You know, non-governmental organizations like the National Endowment for Democracy, they're NGOs, but they get all of their funding from the government. | ||
I mean, how does that make any sense? | ||
Well, it doesn't. | ||
And none of this is in the Constitution or part of our constitutional order. | ||
The fundamental orientation of the American government should be to protecting the rights of Americans. | ||
And honestly, it's not that hard to do. | ||
The big things are prevent the country from being invaded, don't get sucked into stupid foreign wars, don't allow hordes of foreigners to cross your borders, armed or unarmed. | ||
Those are actually not terribly expensive things to do. | ||
Just to use an example, how much does it cost America to protect its border? | ||
Right now, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has a budget of about $8 billion to $9 billion. | ||
That is a fraction of the total $5-6 trillion annual American appropriation for government funding. | ||
This is hardly anything. | ||
And yet, we are pouring billions of dollars into messing with AIDS, supposedly, in Africa. | ||
And the problem with that model is the Africans did not consent for us to rule over them. | ||
And moreover, the American people did not consent. | ||
To create a government that takes their tax dollars at gunpoint to spread it around on a global scale. | ||
That's not how the social contract works or should work. | ||
The way that our government should be oriented is taking a very limited, hard-headed view of what needs to be done. | ||
And that sounds heartless, but I am not arguing that any American should be prevented from spending their hard-earned money abroad. | ||
To save the lives of foreigners if they feel they should do that. | ||
But the point is, when you collect tax dollars at the point of a gun, and that is how they are collected, try not paying. | ||
See what happens to you then. | ||
When you collect tax dollars under threat of force, that money needs to be used for very specific, very limited purposes. | ||
And that's ultimately what we need to be doing as a government and as part of... | ||
Just basic common sense. | ||
That's what I support. | ||
Common sense government. | ||
I am a moderate. | ||
I agree. | ||
There's nothing I'm saying that is out of step with the vast bulk of the voters in the MAGA coalition today. | ||
And to steal a phrase from the left, it's like the adults are back in the room. | ||
That's how it feels to me. | ||
My kid might think I'm being mean to him, but I'm trying to do what's right for him. | ||
And I'll try to ask him. | ||
And if he still refuses, I'll try to convince him. | ||
But if he's still not, I'm just gonna, I have to, sorry buddy, I gotta pick you up and put you over here. | ||
It's for your own safety. | ||
This is just how it has to be. | ||
That's how I kind of feel with the left right now. | ||
We've tried to convince them. | ||
We've tried to reason with them. | ||
They're not able to understand it, so we just have to do it. | ||
And it's not because we hate them. | ||
It's not because we want to cause them pain. | ||
It's just, this is what has to happen. | ||
And they need to learn to understand that. | ||
So again, I think that's such an important part of the info. | ||
And I don't know if you saw in the first five minutes of this segment, I could go on and on with it. | ||
The Daily Show is doing a segment on DEI where they have a completely inverted view, where they think getting rid of DEI means that you're now valuing white men above everybody else. | ||
They think that's installing an oppression hierarchy. | ||
And it's like, it's a total inversion of the understanding. | ||
So I still think we have a lot of work to do on just getting across to the American people why this stuff is happening and just how how wrong they've been for so long. | ||
How do we make this argument, do you think, in a convincing way? | ||
Well, I think the way we should present it is what we love. | ||
Start with what you love. | ||
And I love my community. | ||
And I was calculating the other day how much money Hillsdale County would have received if we had spent the money that we spent in Ukraine, but we spent it in America. | ||
And we divided that money evenly by state. | ||
And then evenly by county within that state. | ||
Okay, and I think the number I came to was about $35 million. | ||
And this is just $120 billion appropriation. | ||
$35 million, depending on how you calculate it, can buy somewhere between 30 and 60 miles of road. | ||
And we have real infrastructure problems here. | ||
You know, $35 million is enough for a new jail. | ||
That's enough for us to put away. | ||
And we're being told in my community right now. | ||
That we cannot put hardened criminals in jail because we don't have the space. | ||
And so I have to put up with an environment in which we have people with severe mental illness who also have a tendency toward violence who are just out on the street. | ||
And that's just normal. | ||
There's nothing we can do about that. | ||
And I'm pointing out, no, there are things we can do. | ||
That money is out there because I'm watching it be spent on warheads in a nihilistic conflict on the other side of the planet. | ||
So that we can mess with God only knows what. | ||
I mean, what I was remembering, the former national security advisor back, Zbigniew Brzezinski, wrote, we need to be involved in Ukraine because Stalin and Hitler thought Ukraine was important. | ||
He says this in his book. | ||
He's like, you know what? | ||
I don't take all of my geopolitical advice from Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin. | ||
And that's, you know... | ||
I'm a normal American. | ||
I think we should spend our money making America a safer, better place to live. | ||
And that starts by using resources in a way that is accountable and responsible to the American people. | ||
I want my actual neighbors to be better off. | ||
And I believe that having national sovereignty. | ||
Where instead of sending all of our manufacturing abroad, we keep it here. | ||
That's a world that's better for me and my neighbors. | ||
It would be so much better if avocados at the store cost 20% more, but my neighbor then has a job. | ||
That's a better world for me. | ||
And the reality is that even when we take back national sovereignty, the economy will do better. | ||
So much of the economic quote-unquote benefit that's occurred over the last 30 years has accrued to a very small number of Americans. | ||
And when we spread that wealth to the middle class, when we bring back sovereignty, when we bring back these manufacturing jobs, when we stop sending Americans to go die overseas in pointless wars, we are making life better for everyone. | ||
for the majority. | ||
This is an agenda that has Populist appeal. | ||
It is better for almost all Americans. | ||
The only people who lose out in this system are grifters and weird sexual perverts who like to go abroad to satiate their desires. | ||
Or they stay here and satiate their desires, then you get the blackmail tapes. | ||
So yeah, it's all being torn down. | ||
And this is maybe the most... | ||
The most impactful thing I think about the whole Trump presidency is showing how easy it is, showing that you can just do it, and it exposes the 50-plus years of just controlled opposition the Republican Party represents, or at least represented, and I hope to see that change. | ||
Can you stay on with us for a little longer? | ||
This is powerful stuff, and I want to get into your thoughts on what's going on with Israel and everything. | ||
Can you stay for a little longer? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah, no worries. | ||

|
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | |
This is the American Journal InfoWars.com. | ||
InfoWarsStore.com is where you go to support us. | ||
TheAlexJonesStore.com, of course, keeps us on the air as well and helps us get the incredible guests that we have, like Josiah Lippincott. | ||
He joins us today at JLippincott underscore on X. | ||
That's at JLippincott underscore on X. | ||
Has just absolutely fantastic takes. | ||
And you get people from the left to respond to you. | ||
How do you do that? | ||
Nobody from the left ever engages with me. | ||
Is it a strategy you pursue? | ||
I don't know. | ||
Give me some tips. | ||
How do I get the left triggered? | ||
Because they tend not to show up on my feed. | ||
Yeah, I've wondered about this myself, and I've wondered, you know, why does the audience exist for, quote-unquote, my content? | ||
And I think part of the reason is that I lock in like a heat-seeking missile on the things that they hold. | ||
Dear to themselves. | ||
That for leftists, there are these fundamental premises which they cling to with their whole being. | ||
And when you sense what they are and you go after them, they can't help but respond. | ||
And I think it's also the way that I present myself, is that I belong in some way to the cosmopolitan class, and I should be on their side. | ||
At least they think that. | ||
I'm well-traveled. | ||
I have a resume. | ||
I'm educated. | ||
I know foreign languages. | ||
I should be part of this class of people striving in D.C. And so when you break from that consensus and you say, I actually think this whole system has deep fundamental flaws and I don't agree with them. | ||
And I don't think that simply having a credential or having a D.C.-approved resume Is grounds to belong to that system. | ||
I think that really drives leftists crazy because it shows them that their system of power, of distributing honors, the ladder to power, does not appeal universally. | ||
And there are people who break from that consensus. | ||
In a small way, I think I reflect what Trump did. | ||
You know, Trump was always... | ||
The leftists were fine with him. | ||
The system was fine with him. | ||
He was popular. | ||
He's fine. | ||
But then he revealed, actually, I'm not on the same side as the other oligarchs. | ||
And he broke with that consensus, and it turns out that he really has a sympathy for the American people. | ||
Instead of looking for elevation from the great, he looked at elevation from the people, from the ordinary salt of the earth. | ||
And I think that really just drives D.C. New York, Hollywood, it just drives them crazy to see that that's a possibility. | ||
So, you know, I think there's just some drive in me that pushes me to find the left and to find these fundamental premises to highlight them and the disjuncture in their minds between who I am and what I'm saying just drives them crazy. | ||
And I've seen that specifically with left-wing military officers because the attitude is You know, among senior officials, like, well, we're all liberals here. | ||
We're all pro-DEI. We're all pro this. | ||
And it turns out, well, not everybody who was an officer and came to that system agrees. | ||
And that's what initially, I think, drove me into the public consciousness. | ||
And I think it's that same orientation that stains a lot of the audience growth that I've seen in the last seven months or so. | ||
Yeah, they're much more comfortable if you fit into their stereotype as some sort of country bumpkin, redneck bigot. | ||
If you're not, if you're smart and well-spoken and well-traveled, they can't really discredit you by insulting you. | ||
So it frustrates all of their strategies that they've employed for so long. | ||
And when it comes to Trump, I think you're exactly right. | ||
However, maybe it's just because... | ||
It's so almost unbelievable that we finally, like, for so long we've just been begging for these very simple, common sense, normal things to happen. | ||
Hey, the government should probably protect the border and put criminals in jail. | ||
And it just doesn't happen. | ||
So now that it's happening, I feel like a lot on the right are like beaten dogs where they can't believe they're getting a treat. | ||
They're like, okay, when are they going to hit me? | ||
When am I going to get punished for this? | ||
We're almost like abuse victims. | ||
We're scared when we're being treated nicely. | ||
Well, I... You know, | ||
I'm fully on board with Trump and have been so for the last 10 years. | ||
And so when I look at what Trump is doing, I tend to gravitate to things that could be better. | ||
I mean, so if you want, you know, I'm a guy, I look for problems. | ||
That's the first thing I look for. | ||
And so I think we should be aware the federal government still employs something like 3 million people. | ||
And it's not going to be enough just to slash. | ||
USAID or get 20,000 people to resign. | ||
Those are good victories and they're spiritual victories, but there's a lot of work to be done. | ||
So I think there needs to be a readiness on the part of the White House to keep going even further. | ||
And the biggest thing is just the acknowledgement the president is the chief executive of the United States and every bureaucrat belongs to him. | ||
And so if they say, oh, I have civil service protections. | ||
No, you do not. | ||
Congress cannot create its own executive branch, period. | ||
No, that is not allowed under the Constitution. | ||
The president is in charge. | ||
And so my word of warning or my word of advice is to say, use your authority. | ||
Drive the point home. | ||
You cannot let off the gas with these people because they will come for you. | ||
And they will come for you, not only with lawfare, but they may come for your life. | ||
And I think it's already happened. | ||
And so I think Trump has gotten this a lot more this second time around. | ||
But that's an area that should be focused on. | ||
I also think there really is a need to bring the war in Ukraine to an end. | ||
And I really want to emphasize, I don't think we have as much leverage as many in D.C. think we do. | ||
And if I were sitting down with Donald Trump right now, I would say, Keith Kellogg, the special envoy, we just need to get this done. | ||
We need to absolutely just say we are cutting off the aid for the war. | ||
We are not going to keep killing people in this conflict. | ||
It is disastrous for Ukraine. | ||
It is absolutely unconscionable that we would continue pouring fuel on this fire after years of just pointless war. | ||
What are we trying to do? | ||
Russia is a nuclear power. | ||
It's a nation. | ||
That we should be able to have neutral relations with. | ||
Because they haven't declared war on us and their interests are in their near abroad. | ||
And we have interests in our near abroad. | ||
And I don't want the Russians messing around in our near abroad. | ||
I don't want them messing with what is in our interest. | ||
But I also don't want to mess with their problems. | ||
And it's a simple... | ||
It's a simple foundation once you have the moral commitment to saying it is not America's job to rule the world. | ||
It is not our job to manage the world. | ||
It is not our job to spread freedom and democracy to every country on the planet. | ||
That is not the purpose of the American political order. | ||
And so that's something that I would want to make sure that the White House is clear on. | ||
Because I think Trump's instincts are really, really good. | ||
He's just—without even thinking, that guy just gravitates to the right answer in the vast majority of cases. | ||
But I would defend, too, the ability to articulate these core principles. | ||
And I think there are more people like that around Trump this time. | ||
But it's something that's an ongoing fight, and it's not over. | ||
And there's a lot of different voices that are going on, even within the MAGA movement, about what our role in the world should be. | ||
And so I understand a lot of what Trump is doing is designed to— There are other things at play. | ||
There's the art of the deal and negotiation. | ||
But there's also something to be said just for straight-up honesty and clarity about, look, we need to do these things, and this is what we're going to do to get them. | ||
And I just think staying out of foreign wars, staying out of the Middle East and its endless problems, that's important. | ||
And, you know, Trump is going to make choices on that front. | ||
And I approve in the main of what he did the last time. | ||
He didn't start any new wars, and that was awesome. | ||
Would I have done a few things differently? | ||
Probably. | ||
But again, I'm not going to attack Trump. | ||
I think his instincts are so good. | ||
He set everything up for people like me, and I wouldn't be here in this position without him. | ||
So, endless gratitude toward Trump. | ||
But, of course... | ||
As someone who's always thinking and just saying, how can we get better? | ||
There's always ways we can improve, and there's always things that Trump could do better, and I think that sort of reflection and self-analysis is necessary. | ||
Yeah, and again, it's like, we've just never been in this position before where we're already getting everything we want. | ||
We're like, well, what more can we ask for? | ||
It's like we're impatient to get it done. | ||
Well, at the same time, appreciating that any movement is headed in our direction because it's been, you know, the culture and the purpose of the United States moving away from us for so long. | ||
I think, you know, another meme that I think sort of explains this to such a high degree is the heat map meme. | ||
And at this point, you're talking about, you know, communicators and people around Trump who can make the case for him. | ||
J.D. Vance is obviously a brilliant example of that. | ||
And, you know, he's the one that sort of started this conversation about, like, well, I care for my kids, and then I care for my extended family, and then I care for my neighbors, and then eventually I care for everybody else. | ||
And it's like we're sitting here having to explain to liberals that it's okay to love your family more than total strangers. | ||
And it's like, have we gotten to the bottom yet? | ||
The bottom of the psychopath well where, like, I thought it was crazy we had to explain to them that there's such a thing as men and women. | ||
Tenants of humanity. | ||
Have we gotten to the bottom of this trend? | ||
I don't think we have. | ||
I don't know where it can go from here. | ||
But it's just crazy to me that that's the level that we're at now, is that we're actually having to argue with people as to whether you should value your own child more than a total stranger. | ||
This just flies in the face of every natural instinct and societal impulse that humanity has ever had. | ||
How did the left get so disconnected? | ||
And can we just do this without caring about them? | ||
Or do we have to actually Well, you can't argue someone into having a life instinct. | ||
And so there is definitely a limit as to what education can accomplish. | ||
And recognizing the limit of words, of speeches to transform the human soul is one of the essential building blocks to understanding political life as such. | ||
Which is to say some people, literally, you cannot do anything with them except through force. | ||
And it would be better to govern through honor and shame, and even better to govern through reason. | ||
But that's not possible. | ||
So that's why we have jails and prisons and militaries, because there's a lot of human beings on this planet that simply can't learn. | ||
And I'd say, have we hit the bottom for the left? | ||
Oh, no. | ||
The bottom is when you slaughter all of the civilized, humane... | ||
And I would say a big problem that's happened is the left has no theory of mind for the right. | ||
Because they've been in power for so long, there's just hubris. | ||
They don't know how we think, and they couldn't articulate it. | ||
And there's something similar that's happened on the right where a lot of conservatives, especially older conservatives, do not understand. | ||
What drives liberals and leftists to do what they do? | ||
And I think this goes back to the point. | ||
Liberals believe they're moral and just. | ||
They believe that they're bringing about a utopia, that they're bringing about a world free of oppression where people can live authentically as who they are. | ||
A world in which there's no patriarchy, there's no sexual repression, there's just a freedom to be. | ||
To be who you are, to be authentic to yourself, to be artistic and creative, and to have this rainbow coalition of all human beings on Earth sharing everything in common, loving one another. | ||
It's really the world as the global group hug. | ||
Or if you might want to put it this way, as the global polycule, where everyone is in this weird relationship with everyone else. | ||
Or in their view, a sort of wholesome, spiritually fulfilling, sexual and emotional relationship. | ||
And I think that view is dangerous because this sort of longing to be part of the oceanic or organic, orgasmic unity isn't possible. | ||
You can't have that world and civilization. | ||
Virtue, the fundamental meaning in Latin is where, the root is where, it means man or manliness. | ||
And so virtus could be and honestly should be translated as manly strength. | ||
And it's automatic right there. | ||
The very idea of virtue is the idea of distinction. | ||
The idea between man and human being. | ||
And the Greek really has this, aner and anthropos, which is to say you have man, aner, hero. | ||
It's like there's something, a part of him that's real and excellent. | ||
And they have anthropos, which is just the mass. | ||
And so the right wing is the distinction between this individual longing for glory to really be more than what you are simply by raw nature. | ||
You carve yourself, you self-overcoming, you build, and that requires boundaries. | ||
When you look at a human being who's physically fit, you see the distinction between the musculature. | ||
You can watch the veins across the body. | ||
There's distinction and difference. | ||
The ab muscles look different from the chest and the legs. | ||
But when you see someone who is obese, everything becomes the same putrid, undistinguished flesh. | ||
And right there, in that aesthetic judgment and distinction, you see the difference between right and left. | ||
Discipline and hierarchy on the one hand. | ||
And on the other hand, you see inclusion, literal inclusion of mass into the body. | ||
And when you have that view, it's in a way, it's like, well, there's no judgment. | ||
There's no judgment. | ||
Just be who you are. | ||
Like, don't let anyone say anything bad to you. | ||
But when you do that, how can you overcome yourself when you believe there's nothing to overcome? | ||
How can you rise out of the gutter when you think the gutter is a paradise? | ||
And so it's that fundamental spiritual orientation that distinguishes the left from the right. | ||
And what's happened in the post-war conservative movement is the understanding of that distinction was lost. | ||
And there was very much the sense like, well, we don't really want to be judgy. | ||
We don't want to be called racist. | ||
We don't want to be called homophobic. | ||
We don't – yeah, America had slavery, but we overcame and actually were the most anti-racist country on earth. | ||
And what happened was that the conservative movement was entirely within the left's spiritual framework. | ||
And especially in the last 10 years, especially with the rise of the online right and the anonymous right in particular. | ||
That movement to speak the truth, to gravitate back towards science, to gravitate to a moral framework that was at odds with liberalism, that movement is tied intimately at a spiritual level with Trump's rise. | ||
And it is no mistake. | ||
That as Trump has come to power in this redemptive second term, that he is taking so much of that energy that was cultivated for so long and bringing it into that administration. | ||
And I think if we're really successful at the highest level, that new moral framework, this inversion of moral values in which the leftist morality is cast aside, that this will become the foundation for a more healthy and spiritually fulfilling and pro-life in all of its senses. | ||
Republican Party, more pro-life conservative movement, a more pro-life America. | ||
And I think it's really what we should be aiming for in the long run. | ||
So many good points you just made right there. | ||
And I like to use the word distinction. | ||
I use the word discrimination because obviously, you know, discrimination is the ultimate evil as presented by the mainstream media. | ||
But when you... | ||
When you take away discrimination, you're left with everything is equal, everything is gray. | ||
We need discrimination. | ||
We need to discriminate between good and bad, healthy and unhealthy. | ||
And even if you're talking about the physical appearance between people who discriminate what they put into their body and what they do with it versus the... | ||
The people who are sort of an amorphous blob. | ||
I see the same thing happening with, heck, like cars. | ||
Back in the day, you had big boxy trucks, then sleek, really cool sports cars. | ||
Nowadays, everything's just kind of bulbous, and it's all designed to be aerodynamic. | ||
Or with culture, you want to have... | ||
I like clear distinctions. | ||
I like that you cross a border and you go from one world to another. | ||
It's a different religion. | ||
It's a different concept of life. | ||
And they want everybody on earth to be just this sort of amorphous mass, indistinguishable from one another. | ||
It's fascinating that that that spiritual underpinning you're pointing out, it's manifest everywhere. | ||
Yeah, it is. | ||
As someone who is well-traveled, I liked being in a foreign country and seeing foreigners there. | ||
I remember standing in a mall in Japan, and everybody there except me was Japanese. | ||
And you know what? | ||
It did not offend me. | ||
It wasn't like, oh, this is really concerning. | ||
There's not enough diversity. | ||
And I'm glad I'm here to bring moral goodness as a form of diversity. | ||
I didn't think that. | ||
I thought the Japanese have a way of life and it is really interesting for me to observe that way of life as a guest. | ||
And I want that kind of distinction in America. | ||
I like distinction. | ||
I like it when I get to hear a foreign language in a foreign country, but I don't want to hear that same language on a daily basis at the grocery store in my community. | ||
There's a lot of great Spanish. | ||
I'm not offended by the Spanish language. | ||
I know a lot of Spanish myself. | ||
I don't want to hear illegal immigrants speaking it in my grocery store. | ||
In fact, I don't want to hear any immigrant speaking that in my grocery store. | ||
That's not where I want it. | ||
That's not where it belongs. | ||
Putting things in a rightful place, allowing people to flourish and have a way of life. | ||
In their own context is, I think, foundational to having freedom. | ||
The individual excellence that I believe in, that embodies the Western spirit, can only really be cultivated in a certain kind of soil. | ||
And that soil, that culture, that way of life needs to be preserved. | ||
And so there's a dynamic between the way of life of peoples and the excellence of individuals. | ||
I really put those two things together in my own life and try and cultivate that. | ||
And the left is just at war with all of that. | ||
They would love to wipe out everything that I hold dear if they could. | ||
If the average leftist in this country could push a button and wipe people like me from the surface of the earth, they would do it. | ||
And I never forget that. | ||
I never forget that their deepest spiritual longing is to destroy what's mine. | ||
Yeah, I hate to keep referencing memes in this interview, but it's the classic, these people want you dead, they want your children in prison, and they think it's funny. | ||
I mean, it's true, and we can't forget that. | ||
At the same time, we can't let just a senseless desire for retribution let things get off course, which so far they haven't. | ||
I think the fact is that we have principles that if you stick to them... | ||
Things work well. | ||
I mean, they act like tradition is just baseless superstition or, you know, people are just doing things they don't understand because they've always done it that way. | ||
They're so, you know, look how stupid these people are. | ||
The reality is their traditions, especially the ones that Americans developed over the, you know, 19th and 20th century, they're the best tradition. | ||
There's the reason that we have the wife at home raising the kids and the father out to work. | ||
It works best. | ||
That's how you have the best outcomes. | ||
We've done the test. | ||
We've tried it a number of different ways. | ||
This is the best way to do it. | ||
They think you're able to throw all that out, and they hate you for not wanting to do that. | ||
I think you're exactly right. | ||
In the last couple of minutes, I do want to get some of the headlines from today because the latest with Trump in Gaza and everything he has done during Bibi Netanyahu's visit, it's got everybody confused. | ||
I'm just desperate for some clarity. | ||
Maybe you can provide me some. | ||
What do you think about what's going on? | ||
And Trump's suggestion, I don't think it's official yet, that America is going to own Gaza. | ||
I mean, can you provide any clarity on this? | ||
Because I'm out to sea on this whole thing. | ||
Yeah, I would say right now, Trump is doing the art of the deal thing. | ||
And I think by saying these... | ||
It's a way of keeping his geopolitical opponents and even some of his quote-unquote friends on their toes. | ||
I've seen some of the analysis indicates that Trump is very interested in pressuring Egypt and Jordan to take Palestinian refugees and to allow them to get out of the open-air refugee camp. | ||
To use a moderate centrist term for what Gaza is, that he wants to leverage some of our quote-unquote Middle East allies to do more in order to mitigate this ongoing crisis. | ||
So will America occupy the Gaza Strip with troops? | ||
I say I don't—I'm in a wait-and-see mode on that one. | ||
I very much could see Americans going in to do the things he talked about, to, you know— Take ordinance and dispose of it and to help rebuild buildings and stuff like that. | ||
And now if that's part of some kind of deal that brings some measure of stability to that region, I am tacitly in favor. | ||
I mean, personally, I don't want to mess with the Middle East and their problems. | ||
Not my circus, not my monkeys. | ||
That's my view. | ||
But I also live in a world in which a lot of people in America feel a connection to... | ||
The Middle East for a whole host of reasons. | ||
A lot of American Christians, especially evangelicals, feel that Israel is God's chosen country, that Israel has spiritual significance. | ||
You know, these people elected Donald Trump. | ||
Okay, they really want to mess with this. | ||
Well... | ||
What's the best thing that we can do without turning that into an entire cesspit mess? | ||
And there are some ways of doing that. | ||
And I think Trump, of all people, is someone I trust to negotiate that. | ||
I mean, he earned a lot of leeway from being his first term. | ||
Like I said, he didn't get us into a war with Iran. | ||
And I want to point out, Donald Trump basically metaphorically publicly decapitated Brian Hook. | ||
Mike Pompeo and then John Bolton in his first week in office. | ||
And that was a shot across the bow for the neocons and the Iran hawks. | ||
Like, we are not doing crazy stuff this time around. | ||
That doesn't mean Trump isn't going to put pressure on the Iranians or he's not going to mess with it. | ||
It just means there was very much an attitude of, like, you guys are too far out to sea. | ||
And I think that was a very intentional message that got sent. | ||
And so just from what I'm picking up from my D.C. connections. | ||
There is a sense, there are adults back in the room. | ||
That doesn't mean I agree with the people in power on every single issue, and I'm sure we could have it out if we were in the same room in private. | ||
unidentified
|
But the reality is, is people are much more aware of very real limitations. | |
We have shot a lot of ordnance in Ukraine. | ||
I'm sorry to cut you off. | ||
We could go on for hours. | ||
This has been an incredibly enlightening interview. | ||
I wish we could go longer. | ||
Josiah Lippincott, JLippincott, Lippincott underscore on X. Thank you so much for joining us. | ||
We still have a lot to cover in this final hour of American Journal, and I'm going to do it with your help. | ||
I'm going to give out the phone number right now, actually. | ||
1-877-789-2539. | ||
1-877-789-2539. | ||
It's a number I only say four times a day for five years. | ||
You'd think I'd get it right. | ||
1-877-789-2539. | ||
Give us a call here on American Journal. | ||
We'll take your calls. | ||
Throughout this hour. | ||
We still do have a lot to talk about, like I said. | ||
Some follow-ups to previous stories as well. | ||
Apparently, Governor Phil Murphy of New Jersey is now being investigated for the claim that he made that he was hiding a migrant in his house. | ||
And it's very funny to hear him sort of weasel away from this. | ||
He goes out and he gives a strident, you know, rebellious statement where he goes, they're not taking my friends. | ||
We have friends that they're going to come after and we're going to keep them in our garage and good luck. | ||
To ice getting them out. | ||
There's no way you're taking our friends. | ||
And then they're like, do you really? | ||
And he's like, oh no, no, no, no, no. | ||
That was no, not really. | ||
Not really? | ||
No, don't come for me. | ||
I was kidding. | ||
That was a joke. | ||
You didn't get that was a joke? | ||
I was being silly there. | ||
There's no illegal immigrant hiding in my garage. | ||
You misunderstood me, I think. | ||
Literally, he's saying like, no, I was misunderstood. | ||
That's not what I meant at all. | ||
How many times have we said, even just the last few months, Yeah, this is what happens. | ||
This is what's going to happen. | ||
They're going to pretend to be rebels. | ||
They're going to pretend to stand up against you. | ||
And the moment they think they're going to pay any price for it, they're going to fold like a house of cards. | ||
It's easy. | ||
It's easy. | ||
Okay? | ||
Homan said, I think the governor's pretty foolish for saying what he's saying. | ||
A source close to the governor told Newsweek he does not have an undocumented immigrant living in his home. | ||
He was reiterating a conversation he had with his wife about somebody else in their orbit. | ||
See, no, it was all a big misunderstanding. | ||
Me? | ||
Break the law? | ||
Never. | ||
Please don't arrest me. | ||
Please don't arrest me, Tom Homan. | ||
Hilarious. | ||
Because he very clearly made the insinuation that he was hiding an illegal immigrant. | ||
In his house. | ||
But if you look at his comments, the way he phrased it was like a little weird. | ||
Yeah, good luck trying to get her. | ||
But he's like, there's somebody in our orbit that is close to where they want to be. | ||
And it's like, all right, clearly the implication was they're holding an illegal immigrant. | ||
You're going to protect them from ice. | ||
I guess technically in the most exacting reading of the exact words that he used. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
All right. | ||
unidentified
|
All right. | |
Meanwhile, President J.D. Vance reveals inside information saying Trump is having the time of his life as president. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So the good news is Trump's having a great time. | ||
Vance, who sat down on the Breitbart News in his West Wing office down the hall from the Oval Office, said Trump is having the time of his life, man, when asked about how the president's doing two weeks into the administration. | ||
I don't know why that cracks me up so much. | ||
But he's got to be having the time of his life. | ||
I pointed this out when it comes to Canada. | ||
Trump is reaching levels of deal-making that are supernatural. | ||
You know the man loves making deals. | ||
And you know he's got to get a thrill when he's negotiating land prices in the 80s for a tower he's going to build in New York. | ||
He's currently negotiating with entire continents. | ||
And he's got them on their heels. | ||
He's pressing them for everything they've got. | ||
He's like dominating entire countries while he's on the golf course. | ||
Their countries are collapsing. | ||
Canada. | ||
Canada's parliament is dissolving and their top leaders are resigning because of what he's doing. | ||
Meanwhile, Trump is literally on a golf course. | ||
Just like sinking that putt for the par three. | ||
Well, meanwhile, the country of Canada is panicking and is like, we don't even know what he wants. | ||
They're like, we're giving him everything he wants, and he's saying it's not enough. | ||
What do we do? | ||
It's got to be fun. | ||
For a dealmaker, for a man who defines himself by the deals that he makes, of course he's having the time of his life. | ||
I don't doubt it for a single second. | ||
Meanwhile, USAID employees and staffers hid their pride flags and incriminating books when Doge arrived. | ||
They're actually hiding their material as Doge comes a-knocking. | ||
They're not going to be able to hide it for long. | ||
More on the other side. | ||
Stay with us. | ||
Welcome back. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, third hour of American Journal is on for this Wednesday broadcast, the 5th of February, 2025. I have some horrifying news for you. | ||
It's been generally good news recently with all of the... | ||
Political victories that we're racking up. | ||
I'm like delaying. | ||
I don't even want to talk about that. | ||
It's so horrifying. | ||
I don't even want to talk about it. | ||
But here it is, folks. | ||
I was going to ask, are you ready for this? | ||
You're not. | ||
You're not ready for this. | ||
New study finds entire spoonful of microplastics in people's brains. | ||
Three times as much in those with dementia. | ||
From New York Post, your brain is 99.5% brain tissue, but the rest? | ||
It's plastic. | ||
That's a new unsettling takeaway from a new study by Michael Campin, who found microplastics in human brains at far higher levels than other organs. | ||
Even more troubling, these tiny particles are accumulating rapidly, having increased 50% over just the last eight years. | ||
Quote, there's so much plastic in our brains. | ||
More than I would have ever imagined or been comfortable with, says Campton, distinguished professor of pharmaceutical sciences at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. | ||
On average, the brain sample studied contained about 7 grams of microplastics, roughly the weight of an average plastic spoon. | ||
7 grams of plastics in the average brain. | ||
To make matters worse, the study also found up to 10 times the amount of microplastics in the brains of 12 dementia patients compared to healthy brains. | ||
While the correlation is clear, researchers cautioned that further studies needed to establish a direct link. | ||
I'm going to go out on a limb here. | ||
I'm just going to go out on a limb and just guess. | ||
I'm just going to suppose that, yeah, it's not good for your brain to be made up of plastic, even partially. | ||
They're like, we don't know if dementia is associated with plastic in the brain. | ||
Okay, we can do the studies. | ||
Yeah, sure, let's figure out exactly how this happened and what effects it has. | ||
But yeah, I'm not surprised that seven or more grams of plastic in a person's brain might make their brain not work so good. | ||
Might cause dementia or something like it. | ||
I don't think that's quite a stretch. | ||
It's actually pretty reasonable, if you ask me. | ||
The research team analyzed 52 brain samples, 28 from autopsies conducted in 2016, and 24 from 2024. | ||
While microplastics were present in every single sample, the concentrations were notably higher in the more recent specimens. | ||
Additional brain samples dating back to 1997 followed the same alarming pattern, with higher microplastic levels found in newer samples. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Microplastics have been detected in various parts of the body, including the lungs, liver, kidneys, placenta, blood, semen, and even breast milk. | ||
The most common microplastic that researchers from the University of New Mexico detected was polythylene, widely used in packaging materials like bottles and cups. | ||
What's more, many of these particles were smaller than previously thought, no bigger than viruses. | ||
These tiny fragments are small enough to make it across the blood-brain barrier. | ||
Though he noted the exact process of how they're transported to the brain remains unclear. | ||
He suspects the primary route of entry is through our food, particularly meat. | ||
And this is the thing. | ||
You hear about plastic poisoning. | ||
You hear about nanoparticles, microplastics. | ||
And while it's true that the individual particles are so small you can't even see them, as they accumulate, you're talking about 7 grams of plastics in a human brain. | ||
So are you filtering your water, folks? | ||
Are you using glass bottles rather than plastic? | ||
Are you taking every possible precaution to at least diminish the amount of plastic in your body and, most importantly, in your brain? | ||
Because if not, well, there's going to be problems. | ||
You're going to have problems with that. | ||
And this is the thing. | ||
It really does. | ||
If it's not on purpose, it's just the biggest coincidence ever. | ||
They ignore these problems until they're too big to solve. | ||
How many times did Alex Jones talk about microplastics and nanoplastics and the poisoning of the food and water? | ||
How many times over decades have we brought this up? | ||
To be completely ignored, to be called a conspiracy theorist, put on your tinfoil hat, what are you so worried about? | ||
Only to get to the point where you have plastics in Antarctic snows. | ||
And seven grams of it in the brain inside your head, and now suddenly everybody's allowed to talk about it. | ||
So now everybody's aware of it, and everybody's talking about what to do to stop it. | ||
Well, the time to stop it was 20 years ago. | ||
Time to put a halt to the creation of these microplastics was back when we were being called crazy conspiracy theorists for suggesting we do that. | ||
So I don't even know. | ||
What to do at this point on a systemic level. | ||
But on an individual level, there are some things you could be doing and should be doing. | ||
And maybe, guys, we should reach out to Raw Egg Nationalist and have him come on and comment on this. | ||
And we've had him on many times before to talk about this exact topic. | ||
So you can go back and search Raw Egg Nationalist on band.video or go to his ex. | ||
But check out his previous appearances on this show and the other shows here on InfoWars. | ||
We've gone into detail before on how you can avoid some of this stuff. | ||
And some things are obvious. | ||
Avoiding plastic packaging is obviously a good idea. | ||
Filtering your water, obviously a good idea. | ||
Buying high-quality meat and vegetables grown pesticide-free is obviously a good idea, not just for the nanoplastics, but for the other estrogen mimickers. | ||
That's the other thing about nanoplastics is they often are estrogen mimickers and have the hormonal imbalance effect that... | ||
Things like atrazine have. | ||
But children are much more susceptible to poisoning by plastics, partly because they're closer to the ground. | ||
Babies who are crawling around, they absorb the dust particles, plastic dust particles that are on the ground. | ||
You can actually, you know, help to avoid plastic poisoning by vacuuming a lot or getting an air filter, like the Alexa Pure Breeze at Infowarsstore.com. | ||
Filtering your water, of course, is a good idea, but you breathe in a lot. | ||
When you shower, you are, you know... | ||
Absorbing that stuff through your skin. | ||
It's not just about what you absorb through your food and water. | ||
It's about the material around you, the fabric that you wear. | ||
Being 100% cotton is a great way to avoid microplastic poisoning. | ||
It's absolutely everywhere. | ||
But you can at least try to diminish the amount you're being exposed to by taking precautions like filtering your water and your air and just being cognizant and cautious of this type of stuff. | ||
Don't microwave your food in plastic containers. | ||
Don't use plastic cutting boards where every time you slide the knife across it, you're loosening up particles that then end up in your food. | ||
There's lots of ways you can combat this. | ||
We need a system-wide way to combat this, but at the very least, we need to stop producing this stuff at a massive scale and allowing this to go on unencumbered. | ||
It is literally poisoning us in the amounts that it's poisoning us. | ||
It's like every couple of months now there's a new article about this that just takes it to a new and more disturbing level. | ||
So again, 7 grams of plastic in the average brain. | ||
I would be shocked at 7 grams of plastic in the average human. | ||
But it's talking about the average brain. | ||
And it's increasing massively even over the last 10 years as this accelerates. | ||
So there you go. | ||
So there's just a bit of bad news for you there. | ||
Sorry. | ||
I don't know what else to say about it. | ||
But no, it's horrifying. | ||
It is just horrifying. | ||
I want to go to one more video before we go to calls. | ||
This video, I was actually going to play during our interview with Josiah, but I didn't want to interrupt that. | ||
But it goes along with exactly what we were discussing when it comes to USAID. And that is the fact that even the people that are Ostensibly, the receivers of the funds are saying, cut it off. | ||
It's not doing what you think it's doing. | ||
Let's go to clip number one now. | ||
unidentified
|
It's actually moved out of the railroad. | |
Yes, I support the lady. | ||
Trump should cut everything. | ||
Cut everything completely. | ||
He shouldn't even make it 90 water, whatever. | ||
He should cut it completely. | ||
He don't need it. | ||
It rather goes to other individuals, but not us. | ||
Please, he should cut it completely. | ||
Probably should have set that up a little better. | ||
So that was an African guy who It's in a country that is ostensibly a big receiver of USAID, and he's sitting there going, cut it off, man. | ||
It doesn't get to the people that you think it gets to. | ||
It's not helping us. | ||
It's going to somebody. | ||
Sure, you're spending millions of dollars. | ||
Somebody's getting that money. | ||
It ain't us, though. | ||
So you've got all these leftists going, all of these poor people around the world rely on USAID. And then the people themselves are going, no, we don't. | ||
We never see a cent of that money. | ||
It goes to the people at the top who just run off with it. | ||
Or fund their own stuff. | ||
Or make the problems worse, in fact. | ||
So yeah, cut off USAID 100%. | ||
It doesn't help us. | ||
It's not going to affect us negatively. | ||
Cut it. | ||
Cut it all. | ||
So there you go. | ||
From the horse's mouth. | ||
From an actual receiver, apparently, of USAID saying, no, cut it off. | ||
Get rid of all of it. | ||
Get rid of absolutely all of it. | ||
Alright, we have more videos to go to, but let's go out to the phone calls for now. | ||
Let's go to... | ||
I see a lot of people calling in about Gaza, and I see a lot of people calling in about Elon Musk. | ||
Let's do Gaza first, since that's the more popular one. | ||
Let's go to Hobbs in Nebraska first, regular caller Hobbs. | ||
You're on the air about Gaza. | ||
What is your interpretation of this announcement, sir? | ||

|
Hey, good morning, Harrison. | |
Good morning, InfoWarriors. | ||
Before I jump into that, let me plug real quick. | ||
My Rumble channel, Roads to Liberty, go there. | ||
You can go to thealexjonesstore.com slash R2L for our affiliate link. | ||
Go buy some stuff. | ||
We might start doing giveaways if we make enough money to buy some cool stuff for people. | ||
So thealexjonesstore.com slash R2L, R the number 2, L, to support Roads to Liberty. | ||
Awesome. | ||
I love it. | ||

|
Yes, yes. | |
I just picked up a three-pack of the CMOS. Can't wait for it to get here. | ||
Anyways, so... | ||
I don't know if I've called in to you or if this is something that I said on my show, but as far as the Gaza situation goes, there's only three paths forward, and all of them suck. | ||
So, because peace is not an option over there. | ||
These people have been killing each other over stupid stuff for 3,000 years. | ||
So you can just throw peace right out the window. | ||
And normally when Trump does something like this, I can see one or two steps ahead and see what he... | ||
is actually going after, but this is a tough nut to crack. | ||
So, the first option for Gaza is the status quo, where things just stay the same as they are, and they're killing each other in these low-volume, tit-for-tat exchanges forever. | ||
And that's option one, and it sucks. | ||
Option two is displacement, and that means that one side or the other is just going to have to leave the area, put some space between them. | ||
And I'm not saying it's right, and I'm not saying it's correct, but pragmatically speaking, it would be easier to move the Palestinians away. | ||
There's less of them. | ||
They have no infrastructure. | ||
Everything's bombed to rubble. | ||
That's just, like I said, it's not right, it's not correct, but it's the easiest option. | ||
And I think that's what Trump is going for right now, is to just get them away from each other. | ||
You know, go over to your corner and stay over there. | ||
And that option also sucks, because it's going to be hard to pull off. | ||
The third option is elimination. | ||
One side just completely kills the other one off, and up until yesterday, that seemed to be the path that the Israelis were going for. | ||
So, like I said, all of these paths suck, but it's just finding out which one sucks the least, and I think that option two is what Trump is going for. | ||
As far as the U.S. owning it or saying things as bombastically as you said them yesterday, this might be a negotiation tactic to get the other powers in the region to step up and actually do something about it. | ||
Because it's kind of like what he said that he wants to put illegals in Gitmo. | ||
I don't think he wants to put illegals in Gitmo. | ||
But when you tell people that go home or go to Gitmo is pretty good incentive to self-deport. | ||
Well, you know, I've got some... | ||
I've got some news for you. | ||
The first plane load of illegals has already been sent to Gitmo. | ||
So I don't know. | ||
Your interpretation of that might be a little bit off. | ||
I actually had that story today. | ||
I'm not sure where I put it. | ||
But yes, reportedly, the first plane load of deportations has been sent to Guantanamo, if I'm not mistaken. | ||
I believe. | ||
Yeah, here it is. | ||
U.S. begins migrants' flights to Guantanamo Bay. | ||
The first flight carrying detained migrants from the U.S. to Guantanamo Bay landed at the American naval base in Cuba. | ||
So that is happening. | ||
But I agree, you know, it does seem like a negotiation tactic. | ||
And here's the secret of Trump. | ||
And I'm about to give away something I've held for a while here. | ||
And it's the title of a book. | ||
I want it to be the title of my book, but let's be honest, I'm probably never going to write a book, so I'm just going to give it away. | ||
It can be the title of Trump's next book, and it's this, The Art of Interruption. | ||
It's The Art of Interruption. | ||
That's what Trump excels at, and I think that's what he's interested in doing. | ||
For decades in America, it was, you know, he tossed the ball back and forth between Republican and Democrat, and everything gets worse every single time. | ||
The Republicans do nothing, the Democrats... | ||
Pursue their agenda relentlessly and you just trade the ball back and forth as you watch your country be destroyed. | ||
And then comes Trump and he interrupts it and he destroys the Bushes and the Clintons. | ||
And he dominates the Republicans and the Democrats. | ||
He interrupts that feedback loop just like he's interrupting the feedback loop that the Middle East has been in for decades on end. | ||
Gaza attacks Israel. | ||
Israel attacks back. | ||
It's devastating and horrible. | ||
There's some sort of reformation. | ||
Then it all resets and they just do it again. | ||
And it just goes on and on and on and on. | ||
I think Trump sees that and thinks, if I can interrupt that feedback loop, if I can stop that rebound back and forth and back and forth and back and forth, and he just does something, no matter what it is almost, just like, we're going to do something different this time to try to get a different outcome and try to... | ||
To break out of this feedback loop. | ||
And I do think that that is his overall goal. | ||
And he's decided this is the best way to do that, at least from his language. | ||
That's what I get. | ||
Thank you very much for the call, Hobbs. | ||
We're going to move on to Godzilla in Wisconsin on the same topic. | ||
I'm just going to ask everybody to keep your comments a little bit short. | ||
I have trouble because you guys are so good. | ||
I don't want to interrupt you, but I also don't want to leave everybody on hold. | ||
So Godzilla, you're on the air. | ||
Keep it quick if you will, please. | ||
Go ahead. | ||
Yeah, I agree with that guest you had on about being possibly Trump's art of the deal, shaking things up. | ||
I suggested before this type of takeover of the area, and the last time there was peace is when, you know, crusaders were in the area and kind of ruled in certain spots. | ||
But this is obviously a lot different, but similar. | ||
And, you know, it's kind of part of the greater Israel project they're doing, which, you know, it's like the world's kind of an unfair place. | ||
There's an unfairness to war. | ||
You know, like you can see in other parts of the world with what's going on with Russia and Ukraine or in Serbia with Kosovo being taken away. | ||
It's a common theme, you know, so it's an interesting play. | ||
I just like the boldness of Trump doing something, anything, and more so over than anything, politicians that don't treat us like little children, that he's actually being straightforward. | ||
And saying like, okay, this is my position. | ||
And he's had the same rights as anybody else's opinion on what to do. | ||
And he does have a point. | ||
There's been nonstop slaughtering and killing between Jews and Muslims there for so long. | ||
And there's been no headway. | ||
And they're both very passionate people and their family members get slaughtered. | ||
So, you know, they're going to resort to these gruesome tactics as a survival mode, you know, as a wild animal, you know? | ||
Like, we're all wild animals at a certain point when your family members are having atrocities committed to them. | ||
You know, you just can't help it. | ||
You know, it's funny. | ||
I think it was Chase Geiser yesterday on Exit, you know, when my two kids are fighting over a toy, I take the toy away. | ||
You know, when you've got these two groups of people fighting over this land, we're just going to go and take it. | ||
And I was thinking, you know, it's like the tale of Solomon, right? | ||
You've got the two women, they both claim the... | ||
The baby's there, and it's like, this is kind of like Solomon, except Solomon actually cuts the baby in half. | ||
It's like kind of a different end to that story. | ||
It's like, okay, I don't think it's exactly the same, but I get the sentiment. | ||
It's like, all right, look, you people can't resolve your differences. | ||
Daddy, Trump's going to have to come in and just put the toy away for now. | ||
We're going to take it away. | ||
It's going to be ours. | ||
We're going to rebuild it, and then we'll decide what to do with it. | ||
And again, I can't believe that this is in the interest of Israel. | ||
There's a bunch of Israelis – I heard other people say there were a bunch of Israelis who were sort of goading Netanyahu to restart the war again, and you're not going to be able to restart the war if you have American boots on the ground not letting you do that. | ||
So this could be interrupting plans that – That Netanyahu had. | ||
Remember, Netanyahu is still in a very tenuous position where if he's ousted from office, he's probably going to jail because of all the corruption charges that have been laid against him. | ||
So he's under a lot of pressure right now to either restart the war in Gaza, restart the war in Lebanon, which hasn't really ever ended. | ||
They've been bombing apartment buildings continuously since the so-called ceasefire there, or really kick off conflict with Iran. | ||
Otherwise, he personally is going to pay the price for it. | ||
Everything's still very much up in the air. | ||
Thank you for the call, Godzilla. | ||
Let's go to Brennan in Florida. | ||
Brennan, go ahead. | ||
You're on the air. | ||
unidentified
|
Hey, how you doing? | |
Good. | ||
unidentified
|
Hey, yeah, I just have a similar view to the last couple callers and to you. | |
I think we just got to give Trump, you know, some time and give him some leeway on this issue. | ||
I mean, who would have thought that he would have accomplished as much as he has in the first 14 days? | ||
And, you know, like you said, if we say we own Gaza or take over Gaza, they're not going to continue to... | ||
To be able to do what they're doing the whole time. | ||
You know, maybe that's all this is. | ||
Because the way it was announced was like, America is taking over Gaza. | ||
It's been decided. | ||
It clearly has not been decided yet. | ||
It's clearly this is an idea Trump is floating. | ||
We can't even really tell if Bibi Netanyahu had even heard of this proposal yet. | ||
It could be strictly a negotiation tactic where he's just going, this is what's going to have to happen if you can't solve this. | ||
If you keep abusing the Palestinians and the Palestinians can't keep their people under control, then America is just going to come in and do it for you. | ||
So there's the option. | ||
And he presents that option as a conclusion. | ||
But it could very well be a negotiation tactic where he's just saying, here's what we're going to do. | ||
And they're like, no, no, no. | ||
And he's like, oh, no? | ||
You don't want me to? | ||
Okay, so what are you going to do to stop me? | ||
What are you going to do that's better than this? | ||
I'm open to your suggestions. | ||
And then maybe you have Israel going, well, we'll help them rebuild and we'll help them figure it out. | ||
And Hamas will say, well, we'll stop. | ||
Don't kick us out of our country. | ||
We'll put a damper on the offensive maneuvers we make. | ||
It's still too early to see. | ||
But again, the way people are reacting to this, that actually makes sense. | ||
Trump says U.S. will take over Gaza Strip and doesn't rule out using American troops. | ||
That's so bizarre. | ||
It just doesn't make it. | ||
It's just totally inconsistent with what he said before. | ||
Willie in California, we've got one minute left before the break. | ||
We'll be back on the other side with more calls, but you're on the air for now. | ||
Willie in California, go ahead. | ||
Yeah, hey, the Riviera of the Middle East, indeed. | ||
But I didn't hear Beebe agree. | ||
To any of it, that we would take over and pay to clean up and rebuild with potentially another Trump Tower on the Strip. | ||
And hardly a word was said about the homes that were destroyed and the lives that were lost there, but at least he was honest by saying it looks more like a demolition site. | ||
I say he should get in and end the Ukraine war, take the easy win first in 24 hours, and stay out of other countries' business. | ||
His America's second inner circle is pushing us toward a one-world government, indeed, with a central base in Israel with the Greater Israel Project. | ||
So it makes me wonder, you know, makes sense when you look at certain family members and his donors and his inner circle. | ||
Yeah, and again, you know, Jared Kushner was saying, oh, this is really great waterfront property. | ||
And to be honest, it is. | ||
I mean, one of the weirdest things is, like, you read the New Testament, and, you know, they're in Gaza, right? | ||
It's like, and then Jesus went to Gaza, and it's like, you picture Gaza now. | ||
Like, man, what did it used to be like? | ||
It was probably paradise back then. | ||
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
unidentified
|
What do we make of this headline? | |
Netanyahu. | ||
Gifts Trump a gold pager. | ||
In reference to Mossad op against Hezbollah, Trump calls it a great operation. | ||
Netanyahu gifted Trump a golden pager. | ||
Apparently he often gave a regular pager as well. | ||
That sounds a little bit like a threat to me. | ||
I don't know about you. | ||
That sounds like a threat. | ||
Sounds like a horse head in the bed with you when you wake up in the morning. | ||
It's very weird. | ||
It's a very weird thing for Netanyahu to give Donald Trump, especially after what we were talking about previously with the discussion of assassination over Donald Trump and him saying, if I get assassinated, we're going to war with Iran. | ||
It's like, dude, what are you doing? | ||
And Israel's like, here, have a pager. | ||
These are the things that we blew up. | ||
They belong to our enemy. | ||
Here's one. | ||
Here's one for you. | ||
It's a reminder that we can kill you whenever we want. | ||
I mean, it's just a pager. | ||
Just don't really get too much into it. | ||
That's pretty crazy. | ||
Not to get off on a big sidetrack, but one of these days I want to do a full breakdown of that scene from The Godfather where the movie studio head wakes up with a horse head. | ||
Everybody knows that scene, right? | ||
It's iconic. | ||
The bloody horse head next to him when he wakes up. | ||
And in the movie, it's pretty impactful and you get a little bit. | ||
But in the book, it explains the guy's reasoning and explains more about him. | ||
In the book, The Godfather, part of that guy's character, I think his name's Jack Wolf, and he's modeled after a real person. | ||
Part of his story is that he's a pedophile and that the Mobsters see him get in a private plane with a seven-year-old girl and then see him land and she's all distraught. | ||
There's a lot of interesting stuff to talk about with the way that Hollywood pedophiles is back in the 30s this takes place and how already it was to the point where pedophilia was practiced pretty openly with kids that want to be stars. | ||
But more importantly, it gets into the reasoning of why would this make him surrender? | ||
The whole story, if you don't know it, he is upset about the actor stealing a girl. | ||
Anyway, he doesn't want to give him the part. | ||
The Godfather wants to give him the part. | ||
And he's got this racehorse that's worth millions of dollars. | ||
It's the best racehorse in the world. | ||
And in the book, it explains that when he sees that they killed the horse, These mobsters | ||
aren't about things that you can quantify and negotiate with them for. | ||
They're crazy! | ||
These mobsters are crazy. | ||
They killed this horse. | ||
This was worth millions of dollars. | ||
They could have done anything else, but it's like he suddenly realizes how unreasonable the mobsters are, and he's like, I can't negotiate with these people. | ||
I better just give them what they want. | ||
So in the book, it's interesting the way it lays out his thought process of... | ||
That was the point, right? | ||
That was the message they were sending to him. | ||
It's like, you think you can negotiate with us because you think you have something that we want and therefore you have power over us. | ||
You don't understand that we will burn everything down unless you give us what we want. | ||
We will destroy everything, okay? | ||
You think you can get us to call off the union strike that's messing up your film production? | ||
We'll burn it all, okay? | ||
We'll destroy everything to get what we want. | ||
So give us what we want. | ||
And that's the outcome of the... | ||
The Israelis are kind of like that too. | ||
They're kind of like... | ||
That golden pager is the bloody horse head in the bed. | ||
That was that message that Netanyahu was sending to Trump. | ||
They're like, remember, we're not reasonable. | ||
Remember, we're extremists. | ||
We're religious extremists. | ||
And what we do is our actions are not bound by logic or common sense or reasonableness. | ||
We're insane. | ||
Let's go back out to your calls. | ||
Did John call in? | ||
Living on John's supposed to hit us up. | ||
I told him because he did a good breakdown on Owen Schroyer's space yesterday, SpaceX, talking about this breakdown. | ||
For now, we go out to your calls again. | ||
Miles in Wisconsin has called in about Elon Musk. | ||
Go ahead, Elon. | ||
Go ahead, Miles. | ||
You're on the air. | ||
unidentified
|
Hey, Harrison. | |
I've been watching you for a little while. | ||
I just wanted to say I love your show. | ||
I watch it in the morning. | ||
Thank you. | ||
unidentified
|
Early in the morning. | |
Yeah. | ||
I wanted to say these people, you were talking about the plastics that people have in their brain, you know, from the food or whatever they're getting it from. | ||
Yep. | ||
unidentified
|
And it's very obvious because a lot of the people that are showing up against Elon Musk, they're wearing those masks on their face. | |
And there's absolutely no reason they're wearing those. | ||
So I'm thinking there's something in their brain that's telling them they're sick people because they act sick. | ||
They're in the very bad things. | ||
They should be treated as sick people, as they treated everyone back in 2020, if you didn't wear the mask. | ||
Now, I see them going into stores, fully masked up, even two masks. | ||
You know, that's interesting, because obviously the masks are also probably a source of those plastics. | ||
I mean, when you make somebody wear plastic over their face... | ||
Maybe that explains why there's such a massive jump from 2016 to 2024, the plastic microplastics in the mask getting into your breathing. | ||
That's interesting. | ||
And also, yeah, I appreciate your point about that something in them is telling them that they're sick. | ||
It's sort of disturbing. | ||
Thank you for that call. | ||
Miles, let's go to Stephen in Florida. | ||
I also want to talk about Doge. | ||
Go ahead, Stephen. | ||
You are on the air. | ||
Stephen, are you there? | ||
unidentified
|
Yes, sir. | |
Go ahead. | ||
Good morning. | ||
Good morning. | ||
Yeah, okay, so what I called in about, first of all, quick plug, I bought the Alexa Pure two-stage gravity-fed water system through Infowars back in April of 2016. I'm still on the original filter because it's good for up to 5,000 gallons. | ||
And I wanted to say I've got a cup with my TurboForce with the water from that system. | ||
If you're going to get great products like TurboForce or Vitamin Mineral Fusion, make sure you're putting it in the kind of water you get from that system or it's kind of counterproductive. | ||
Absolutely. | ||
And you're right about how long these filters last. | ||
My wife was like, do we need to replace the filter? | ||
And I looked it up and I did the math and I was like, 5,000 gallons. | ||
Like, we maybe go through a gallon a day. | ||
This would last for years on end. | ||
So yeah, they last for quite a while. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And by the way, I got it on sale. | ||
The whole system with a spare filter was $200. | ||
Now that whole system, just with the one filter, is like $400. | ||
So I got a great deal, and it's more than paid for itself. | ||
And yes, I carry my water in glass bottles, like you mentioned. | ||
That's absolutely the way to go. | ||
So what I called about was Trump's agency that Musk is heading up, the DOGE. What I wanted to suggest, and I hope Mr. Trump or people that have his ear and Mr. Musk and people that have his ear are listening to this, I suggest rather than calling it the Department of Government Efficiency, we change it to two things. | ||
Number one, the Department of Government Elimination, because that's really what this is about. | ||
Over 90%, you and I know this, of what is called government today at the federal level, we could eliminate it and we wouldn't miss a heartbeat as far as the elimination of all these people that are on the dole, all the waste, the spending, you know, cut off aid to foreign countries, take care of our country like Trump's now doing. | ||
And the other thing is devastation of grotesque evil, because that is really what the Trump administration is now about. | ||
And you look at everything that's been going on, I'm very happy with what he's now doing, how fast he's moving. | ||
He's keeping his promises. | ||
So I just hope he keeps going. | ||
We need to pray for Trump, that God will protect him, because the only way they're going to stop this is if they kill him. | ||
Absolutely. | ||
Yeah, pray that God gives him wisdom. | ||
And I wanted to say this in conclusion. | ||
There's a scripture in the Bible I read this morning, and I want to give you this real quick. | ||
It's Proverbs 5, 21. For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all his goings. | ||
If we all lived in the light of that scripture, our lives would be totally different. | ||
And then people who are in the government, they would do what's right and be people of integrity. | ||
Amen. | ||
Amen. | ||
Thank you very much for that call, Stephen. | ||
I appreciate it, and I appreciate all your calls. | ||
We're going to go to Lebanon. | ||

With that, let's go to Lebanon John on line 8. John, again, I listened to your breakdown with Owen yesterday. | ||
I sort of repeated some of what you said here today because I agree with it. | ||
We've got about 10 minutes. | ||
What do you think is going to happen now with Gaza as President Trump says America's taking ownership of it? | ||
I mean, is this a bluff? | ||
Is it a negotiation tactic? | ||
Does he really think he's going to get rid of Gaza? | ||
What happens next here, John? | ||
Hey, everybody. | ||
Yes, it sounds like Donald Trump and people have referenced Jared Kushner constantly talking about the value of that real estate and the potential for it to be developed. | ||
That's kind of like a clue as to what's going on behind the scenes. | ||
Basically, they have a vision for Gaza. | ||
When he said the Riviera, when he said an international place, that really sounded like a futuristic version of a 15-minute city. | ||
That's what it sounded like to me. | ||
Now, Lebanon used to be an international hub, a Riviera of the Middle East. | ||
So we know these kind of things are possible, but they want to own it. | ||
They want it to be something they can profit off of. | ||
So it's like the concept of what Lebanon used to be. | ||
They're going to try to do that on this coast just like 100 miles south of Lebanon. | ||
So it's possible, and it used to happen. | ||
Now, why is it not going to happen? | ||
Because Hamas is not defeated. | ||
Hamas and friends, you know, it's not just Hamas. | ||
There's Palestinian Islamic Jihad. | ||
There's all kinds of factions. | ||
And they're far from defeated. | ||
So Donald Trump, from his analysis, he sees a field of rubble. | ||
And according to his worldview, that means that they're defeated. | ||
Now, the Palestinians agree. | ||
They are going to clean up their rubble, and everyone is chomping at the bit to see who's going to be able to be involved in the reconstruction of Gaza. | ||
The UAE is like, hey, we want to be involved in this. | ||
Of course, everyone wants to be involved in this, because historically speaking, when you say reconstruction of a country after war, it's a huge profit grab. | ||
It's a huge revenue stream. | ||
So it may not seem that way at first glance, but that's actually how it works. | ||
Whoever's involved in the quote-unquote reconstruction of Gaza is actually going to make a ton of money. | ||
And so everyone wants to be involved in the reconstruction of Gaza. | ||
And Israel wants to annex Gaza permanently. | ||
They want to put Jewish suburbs, Jewish specifically suburbs. | ||
They're not interested in an international Riviera. | ||
So if you look at Bibi's face, when Trump is saying America is going to take over Gaza, Bibi doesn't even like it. | ||
It's not something that made Bibi happy. | ||
So there was parts of Trump's speech that made Bibi happy. | ||
There was parts of Trump's speech that did not make Bibi happy. | ||
Trump is trying to maneuver in this bad situation to do what's best for America. | ||
But he has a fatal flaw in his understanding. | ||
He is basically getting his information about the situation through Zionists. | ||
The people who are telling him what's up are ultimately Zionists. | ||
So he's not getting a pro-resistance competing source of information, a pro-resistance advisor who could counterbalance. | ||
This information that is being presented to him would inform him that the resistance is not defeated. | ||
All they've done is kill civilians. | ||
And the tunnels are still intact. | ||
Israel couldn't dismantle any of the tunnels. | ||
And so actually northern Gaza, which was the most destroyed, that's where a bunch of these hostages came out from, of tunnels in northern Gaza, which means Israelis were right on top of them the whole time. | ||
So how do you interpret this that now you're going to handle the security of Gaza? | ||
Well, why wouldn't Hamas just attack the U.S. soldiers? | ||
And we all know how that's going to go, right? | ||
That would just trigger... | ||
Donald Trump said, if Hamas does this or that, then I'm going to get more violent. | ||
How can you get more violent, exactly? | ||
Like, in reality, how can you get more violent if it's a field of rubble? | ||
What does that mean? | ||
The only thing that means is that they're going to send soldiers into the tunnel. | ||
And if you study the Vietnam War, they had U.S. soldiers who were designated as the guys who had to go in the tunnels. | ||
They called them tunnel rats. | ||
They were the most violent, the most crazed U.S. soldiers. | ||
Everyone knew these guys were nuts. | ||
And their death rate, the casualty rate of tunnel rats, was enormously high. | ||
I mean, basically they all died. | ||
And it's a suicide mission. | ||
And that was tunnels. | ||
That was mud and wood. | ||
Mud and wood tunnels. | ||
In the 70s in Vietnam, which is a muddy environment. | ||
That is not the kind of tunnels we're talking about in a stone, actually, you know, engineered, modern engineered tunnel full of booby traps and killing zones and all kinds of stuff. | ||
So basically what I'm saying is when he threatens to be more violent, what does that mean? | ||
You already, you know, they already massacred a bunch of people. | ||
They're hitting tents directly. | ||
They're hitting hospitals directly. | ||
There's nothing on the surface there. | ||
He even said it's a giant demolition field. | ||
So this threat is empty, but again, he's not getting this advice. | ||
He's not hearing any pro-resistance voice in his ear to tell him, Sir, there is no threat that you can say to these people that you already hit them with a total blockade, total siege, total starvation through the winter. | ||
They survived with no food, no aid, no water, no fuel through the winter. | ||
Now it's going to be springtime. | ||
What are you threatening them with? | ||
You already bombed everything. | ||
So these threats are empty. | ||
Unless they are literally saying they're going to send U.S. soldiers into the tunnel. | ||
And then you think, everyone has to think realistically, how many U.S. soldiers are actually going to be motivated to go into this suicide mission with a high casualty rate into a very bad zone? | ||
I mean, there's no doubt there are very trained and motivated U.S. soldiers, but motivated to serve their country, not necessarily motivated to serve Israel. | ||
And then you start to touch on the tip of the iceberg. | ||
That's why the evangelical Southern Baptists, the pastors, brainwashing the American people, that America will be blessed if you serve Israel. | ||
That's why that's so important. | ||
That is the pipeline to create U.S. soldiers who will be willing to die for Israeli interests and to kill Israel's enemies. | ||
Because ultimately, America should actually reach out with a hand of friendship and end the war, not with threats of violence to the resistance. | ||
But with giving them their rights and enforcing international law, which would mean sanctioning Israel. | ||
But we all know that's not going to happen. | ||
That is sort of what Trump's offer is being predicated on. | ||
He's going, hey, we're going to rebuild. | ||
It's going to be nice. | ||
It's going to be we're going to break the cycle of violence. | ||
I mean he's presenting as if this is what the Palestinian people need, but then he's also saying we're going to kick them all out to Egypt or whatever for a couple of years while we rebuild. | ||
I mean it's sort of nonsensical, the two differing options he's putting forward. | ||
But do you think that there's any chance that Jordan and Egypt agree to take Palestinians? | ||
So the Lebanese history tells you – Egypt has referenced in their refusal of this what happened with Lebanon. | ||
So Lebanon accepted 500,000 displaced Palestinians in the 60s and 70s. | ||
The world promised that we'll put you in a nice place. | ||
We'll give you good quality of life. | ||
We'll take care of you. | ||
The international community will put the bill. | ||
They promised hundreds of millions of dollars for this project. | ||
In total, Saudi Arabia sent $200,000 one time. | ||
No one else sent anything. | ||
Still to this day, there's Palestinians in refugee camps in Lebanon who are not doing so good, and no one cares. | ||
And so this promise that we're going to displace them and take care of them, it sounds a lot like the trail of tears. | ||
And, oh, we promise we're going to put you guys on the reservation, and you'll be well taken care of. | ||
It's not much different than that. | ||
And so no one buys that. | ||
No one believes that. | ||
But Egypt is saying no because of national security, not because they care so much about Palestinians. | ||
Egypt is saying no because what happens is Israel gets attacked from these Palestinian refugee camps, which then gives Israel the pretext to claim they have to create a buffer zone and invade their neighbor. | ||
Lebanon was a neutral country. | ||
Lebanon was never at war with Israel initially. | ||
Lebanon was officially neutral, like Switzerland. | ||
It had an official policy of neutrality. | ||
And then the Palestinians being displaced into southern Lebanon gave Israel the pretext to then invade and occupy and Judaize, and that's their word. | ||
What that means is displace the locals, bring in Jewish settlements in Jewish suburbs, exclusively Jewish suburbs, and start making the economy operate on shekels by force. | ||
And they started to do that to south Lebanon, which was a neutral country, based on the pretext of the Palestinian refugees. | ||
So Egypt obviously doesn't want that to happen, and they know that Israel has its eyes on things like the Sinai Peninsula. | ||
So where does this go from here? | ||
Is Israel going to accept this? | ||
Nobody I'm hearing from has a positive view of what Trump is suggesting, except for maybe a few American Jews that I hear who are just sort of excited about this for a number of reasons. | ||
I mean, what happens next here? | ||
What is your, you know, diagnosis? | ||
The only people happy about this are people who want American soldiers to finish off Hamas. | ||
And this is a big roundabout, you know, legal, mental gymnastics, you know. | ||
Like, you know, I don't turn the light on and off on the Sabbath. | ||
I just put a lid over the lampshade, you see. | ||
I just wear a wig. | ||
I can stay inside this white string, you know, on the Sabbath. | ||
That's what this is. | ||
It's just a bunch of mental gymnastics. | ||
To tell you, hey, we couldn't beat these guys. | ||
Please come do it for us. | ||
And so that's why dual citizens are happy about this. | ||
And so Americans should not be happy about this. | ||
This is like almost a worst-case scenario. | ||
The only thing worse would be if the United States deployed directly against Hezbollah or Iran. | ||
But this is like the third worst thing that could possibly happen, is the United States directly deploying against Hamas. | ||
That's literally the third, like, in the list of bad things that could happen for America in the Middle East. | ||
This is number three. | ||
And so Donald Trump is not being told the truth. | ||
He thinks that the Palestinians are defeated, and if they're offered a good enough deal, that they'll capitulate. | ||
That is not true. | ||
They're not defeated, and they don't want to capitulate. | ||
And you've got to understand, there's a cultural difference. | ||
He's a billionaire guy from a real estate point of view. | ||
He doesn't think they want to live in rubble, right? | ||
But what he doesn't understand is that the Palestinian cause is a generational cause, and if they abandon their cause, they're abandoning their birthright to the next generation and the generation after that. | ||
So what's going to happen is... | ||
Egyptian military is very big and strong. | ||
They're waiting for their opportunity to deal with this problem themselves. | ||
And Lebanon also is waiting for this situation. | ||
So it all comes down to Iran. | ||
Iran is a tier above of this conflict, a tier above Egypt, a tier above, many tiers above Hamas, and a couple tiers above Hezbollah. | ||
It's a bigger level. | ||
When Iran's nuclear facilities get striked, the counterattack from Iran will be the opportunity for the Palestinians. | ||
The Egyptians and the Lebanese, and to settle the situation once and for all. | ||
So we're talking about World War III is going to solve this situation, not this deal. | ||
So you've got two pathways. | ||
The Palestinians capitulate, and there's peace, which is what Donald Trump is proposing. | ||
The Iranians capitulate, don't pursue nuclear weapons, do a deal, remove the sanctions, and we avoid World War III? That's Donald Trump's path that he's presenting. | ||
You can't blame him for trying. | ||
He's trying to present a path forward that doesn't lead to massive destruction and war. | ||
But it's not going to work because there's religious extremists on both sides, and it's not only religious extremists, but it's religious and nationalists. | ||
So nationalists can be diehard, religious can be diehard. | ||
These are religious nationalists on the Israeli side and religious nationalists on the Palestinian side, Lebanese side, Egyptian side, Iranian side. | ||
These guys are not going to capitulate and humiliate their country. | ||
The Palestinians would rather die than be humiliated. | ||
From the Western culture point of view, the Palestinians have already been defeated. | ||
From the Western cultural point of view, the Palestinians have already been humiliated. | ||
That is not their culture. | ||
They do not agree with that. | ||
They believe that martyrdom in their homeland is the honorable way and that accepting... | ||
To be displaced and have the whole world looking at them as a people without a country, that is the defeat. | ||
Less than death, yeah. | ||
Wow, yeah. | ||
And that's exactly why I wanted to have you on. | ||
That is exactly, I think, the missing piece is the cultural understanding from their perspective as to whether or not this would be something they would accept. | ||
And that's what I was saying at the beginning, that you don't fight this hopeless cause for multiple generations just to give it up because Trump offers you a beach house. | ||
It's all very confusing. | ||
