I wish more was a more Plausible deniability only works when it's plausible. | |
| Plausible deniability. | ||
| It is a term allowing high-ranking officials to deny any responsibility regarding illegal activities. | ||
| The term was first hatched by the arrogance of Alan Dulles' 1960s CIA. Plausible deniability surrounded the JFK assassination. | ||
| Who killed John F. Kennedy? | ||
|

|
The commission answers unequivocally. | |
| Lee Harvey Oswald. | ||
| In 1953, they both took office. | ||
| John Foster Dulles became Secretary of State. | ||
| Alan Dulles became Director of the CIA. It's the only time in history that siblings control the overt and the covert sides of American foreign policy. | ||
| And like the Dulles brothers who covertly got the United States into foreign entanglements worldwide, to put it mildly, the Biden brothers are using the very same terminology, plausible deniability, to protect their untouchable sellout scheme. | ||

Mr. Biden! | |
| Hi! | ||
| Do you care to answer some questions? | ||
| No. | ||
| Just wondering why did you involve Joe Biden in your China deal? | ||
| Why did you and Hunter Biden want Joe Biden to meet with Tony B? What are you talking about? | ||
| Are you Mr. Jim Biden? | ||
| I wanted to ask you about the China deal. | ||
| What about the plausible deniability? | ||
| Did you tell Tony B plausible deniability? | ||
| I remember looking at Jim Biden and saying, how are you guys getting away with this? | ||
| Like, aren't you concerned? | ||
|

And he looked at me and he laughed a little bit and said, plausible deniability. | |
| FBI. Fidelity, bravery, integrity. | ||
| And there's the war map. | ||
| Pins tagged with the names of special agents and placed where the agents are. | ||
| Mr. Cholton, I think it's going to be necessary to enlarge the detail of agents in Little Rock, Arkansas. | ||
| Since its inception... | ||
| The FBI has operated as a two-tiered agency, one a respected force of G-men hunting down dangerous outlaws and serial killers, and another we can call the Deep State FBI, an upper echelon of political thugs. | ||

|
Did FDR ask the Bureau to investigate his wife? | |
| Yes, he did. | ||
| He had information, and I don't know from where, but he asked her who were at that particular time to put a surveillance on Mrs. Roosevelt, the purpose of determining whether or not she was having secret rendezvous with a certain Army colonel and with a state trooper in New York. | ||
| And we did that accordingly at the instructions of the president, which brings up to mind the FBI has been used or misused by many presidents. | ||
| Did you ever get any sense of what the president did with the information? | ||
| None whatsoever. | ||
| And we could care less. | ||
| Frankly, it was misusage of the FBI by a president. | ||
| And I think, here again, that President Roosevelt misused the FBI more than any other president, although they have been used by most all presidents since the inception of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. | ||
| The deep state FBI is now front and center in a developing plot. | ||
| To mislead the American people. | ||
| Not about individual Americans like, for instance, MLK, JFK, or John Lennon, but the American people. | ||
| Five years after Seth Rich's mysterious death and due to a FOIA request, the FBI quietly released 137 pages of heavily redacted documents detailing internal emails and memos of the FBI. 68 of those pages regarded their interest in investigation into Rich's death. | ||
| These documents followed years of the FBI claiming that they had no involvement in the Seth Rich case, yet they used Seth Rich's murder as padding for their Russia conspiracy hoax that fell apart. | ||
| The very first email is dated a month after Seth Rich's murder and involves the notorious, adulterous FBI duo Strzok and Page. | ||
| Evidently, Strzok intending to impress Page claims that for her situational awareness, he squashed More emails reveal that the FBI came into possession of Rich's laptop. | ||
| The page also indicates that authorities were not aware if the person deleted or changed anything on Rich's personal laptop. | ||

Why has D.C. police, as the lead agency on the investigation for the past 10 months, insisted... | |
| It's Wednesday, February 12th in the year of our Lord 2025. | ||
| And you're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
| Watch it live right now at band.video. | ||
| I think it's time to blow this thing back. | ||
| Get everybody in the stuff together. | ||
| Okay, three, two, one, let's jam. | ||
| Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Welcome to the American Journal. | ||
| I'm your host, Harrison Smith, coming to you live this morning, this Wednesday morning, the 12th of February, We got a lot to talk about. | ||
| It's pretty big things happening around the world, including getting into some of the press conferences that were held yesterday. | ||
| Elon Musk, a very unique press conference in the Oval Office, standing next to and slightly behind Donald Trump as his son X ran around talking about what Doge is up to. | ||
| As well as Anna Paulina Luna announcing a task force for declassification that we'll get into as well. | ||
| I'm a little suspicious of all of these things. | ||
| This show is basically just going to be me playing clips of things that happened and looking like the meme of Fry from Futurama. | ||
| Just squinting at it a little bit going, alright, alright, we'll trust you for now. | ||
| But only barely. | ||
| And that goes for just about everybody in politics these days. | ||
| I also want to talk at least a little bit about what's going on in Europe as I think it's important for what we can expect to happen here very shortly if we don't double down on our efforts to make America great again. | ||
| So tons of videos to get to. | ||
| I'm going to go to your phone calls about halfway through the show today as well. | ||
| Stay tuned for that. | ||
| But we'll begin today as we do every day with our daily dispatch. | ||
| Here it is, folks. | ||
| Your Daily Dispatch for Wednesday, the 12th of February, 2025. Trump order limits agency hiring, puts Doge leads in decision-making roles. | ||
| President Donald Trump accelerated his reduction of the federal workforce Tuesday with an executive order that minimizes agency hiring. | ||
| Hiring allowances requiring four workers to depart for every one hire to be made. | ||
| The order to implement Trump's Department of Government Efficiency Workforce Optimization Initiative calls on the Office of Management and Budget Director to submit a plan to reduce the federal workforce through those hiring limitations once the administration hiring freeze ends. | ||
| To restore accountability to the American public, this order commences a critical transformation of the federal bureaucracy, the executive order states. | ||
| By eliminating waste, bloat, and insularity, my administration will empower American families, workers, taxpayers, and our system of government itself. | ||
| Again, we will get into that executive order. | ||
| I'll actually get very into it a little bit later, give you the full breakdown of exactly what it contains. | ||
| Meanwhile, Anna Paulina Luna will lead a task force on declassification of JFK assassination records. | ||
| And the Epstein client list. | ||
| Transparency is good, she says, regarding the release of JFK, RFK, and MLK assassination records, says the presidential historian. | ||
| Anna Polina Luna will lead a new task force focused on the declassification of federal secrets, including records related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and other documents in the public interest Fox News Digital has learned. | ||
| House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer appointed Luna to the chair. | ||
| To chair the Task Force of the Declassification of Federal Secrets. | ||
| We'll show you clips from the announcement of this yesterday. | ||
| My takeaway upon first blush is that's unnecessary and therefore suspicious. | ||
| Sort of a rule of thumb around here. | ||
| They're doing something that doesn't have an obvious purpose to it on the outset. | ||
| There's probably some ulterior motives. | ||
| Okay, so declassification goes like this. | ||
| Executive order says declassify these files. | ||
| The agencies declassify the files and publish them. | ||
| That's how it works. | ||
| There's no intermediary necessary. | ||
| There is no congressional oversight necessary unless Anna Polina Luna and her task force, unless their sole responsibility and obligation, like if all they're doing is just making sure that we actually get everything. | ||
| If it's their job to have access to everything, even the non-declassified stuff, just to make sure everything that should be included has been included, I could understand that, but I still don't trust it very much. | ||
| I still don't really trust it. | ||
| There is no intermediary necessary for disclosure. | ||
| All that's necessary is they publish the documents, and so that's what should happen. | ||
| We'll show you the clips in just a second, but this is the thing. | ||
| I'm just... | ||
| I'm waiting to hear the justification for why we need this. | ||
| I'll explain my suppositions later. | ||
| Meanwhile, new U.S. Defense Secretary Hegseth to make first visit to NATO HQ. United States Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to attend meetings at NATO HQ in Brussels on Wednesday and Thursday as allies hope for clarity on Washington's continued support for Ukraine and its commitment to the Western Military Alliance. | ||
| During his two-day visit to Brussels, Hegseth is to attend on Wednesday afternoon a gathering of the so-called Ukraine Defense Contact Group, where weapons deliveries to Ukraine are coordinated. | ||
| The continuation of the United States' vast support for Kiev has been called into question as U.S. President Donald Trump wants to end the war in Ukraine as quickly as possible. | ||
| So, Pete Hegseth making his way into the, well, the, I was going to say lion's den, but like gay lion's den, like a feat. | ||
| Effeminate lion's den. | ||
| It's the lion's den, but all the lions are vegetarians and can't pay for their own defense and rely on us for everything. | ||
| So, Europe. | ||
| Europe's a big joke these days, but we'll tell you the punchline later in the show. | ||
| Meanwhile, DHS fires four FEMA officials over payments to New York City to house migrants. | ||
| The Department of Homeland Security announced Tuesday that it fired four Federal Emergency Management Agency officials. | ||
| Overpayments provided to New York City to house migrants arguing without evidence that the officials circumvented leadership. | ||
| Without evidence? | ||
| What are they talking about? | ||
| What do you mean without evidence? | ||
| They said don't send any money. | ||
| They sent the money. | ||
| What evidence do you need? | ||
| The firings came after Elon Musk, who's running the Doge, and its efforts to dismantle some of the federal agencies accused FEMA on X early Monday of violating the law by sending $59 million to New York last week and said his Doge team will demand the money back. | ||
| The tech billionaire suggested earlier this week that the agency may be one of his next targets, writing on X, quote, FEMA is broken. | ||
| And it's going to be broken. | ||
| I mean, they are going to shatter FEMA. They've announced basically they're intending to shut FEMA down and just send emergency management back to the States, which is frankly a great idea. | ||
| I think that's a great idea. | ||
| Who would have thought 10 years ago when we're on Infowars talking about FEMA camps that one day we'd have a president who makes it a priority to shut the whole thing down. | ||
| It's pretty incredible. | ||
| FEMA heads, and we'll get into who exactly they were in just a second, but firing's not enough. | ||
| They essentially stole $59 million, okay? | ||
| I've seen people go to jail over stealing, like, office supplies. | ||
| Somebody steals a printer from their office, they get investigated, they get hauled into the police station, and they might be charged with grand larceny. | ||
| And put away for a couple months. | ||
| $59 million heist carried out by the United States government. | ||
| Stealing taxpayer money to give away to foreigners when explicitly told not to. | ||
| They should be in jail. | ||
| These people should be in jail. | ||
| It should be a signal to everybody else. | ||
| You're going to go to jail if you don't follow orders. | ||
| So yeah, that should be happening. | ||
| They're fired. | ||
| Good. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Jail them. | ||
| Jail them. | ||
| Put them in jail. | ||
| Finally, we have this. | ||
| Jordanian king rebuffs Trump's proposal to displace Palestinians in Gaza. | ||
| His pushback came after President Trump insisted Tuesday that the United States has the authority to, quote, take Gaza. | ||
| Kim Abdul II of Jordan on Tuesday rebuffed President Trump's proposal for his country to absorb Palestinians living in Gaza, saying that he remained opposed to a plan Mr. Trump laid out to clear the territory so the United States can seize control of it. | ||
| During a constructive meeting with the U.S. President at the White House, King Abdullah said he, quote, reiterated Jordan's steadfast position against the displacement of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. | ||
| Quote, this is a unified Arab position, he stated in a post on social media after the meeting. | ||
| Rebuilding Gaza without displacing the Palestinians and addressing the dire humanitarian situation should be the priority of all. | ||
| And we will get back into that as well as it seems like the ceasefire is up. | ||
| All but broken at this point. | ||
| And the fighting could start up again any time now. | ||
| That, of course, is your Daily Dispatch. | ||
| We'll show you clips of most of these events here during the show and go over what we think we can find out from them and also cast a suspicious glance over the people claiming to be working for us. | ||
| But I got a lot of videos that I want to go to that are a little bit longer. | ||
| Usually I like to try to keep any clips that we go to at least under two minutes. | ||
| The shorter the better. | ||
| Part of me just feels guilty like we're stealing content if I play like a five minute video. | ||
| I got a five plus minute video from Tim Pool. | ||
| Frankly, it's really good and I just want to watch the whole thing. | ||
| So I think that's what we're going to do. | ||
| I think that's what we're going to do here. | ||
| Tim Pool absolutely nailed it in this clip. | ||
| Clip number 16. This is from TimCast. | ||
| And he's just talking about why people don't trust the spy agencies anymore. | ||
| And we'll just watch the clip, clip but he just does he just does a fantastic job of sort of lining up the number of instances of spy agencies breaking americans trust over the last little while here is a tim pool from his live show tim cast Let's watch. | ||
| I completely agree, and I blame the CIA, the FBI, and the other intelligence agencies. | ||
| How about when Eric Charamella filed that complaint against Donald Trump and Vindman brought it forward? | ||
| This is CIA agents lying to the American people about what Joe Biden was doing with Burisma. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| I know it's only surface level, but I'm going to say it again. | ||
| The American people have a right to know, to a great degree, what is going on with our government and why we are involved in foreign countries. | ||
| Joe Biden flies to Ukraine. | ||
| His son's involved in an energy company. | ||
| Largely, presumably having to do with the Gazprom gas monopolies. | ||
| I bring it up 800 million times. | ||
| So the U.S. Through the CIA, with the CIA counterterrorism director on the board of Burisma, along with the president's son, is trying to operate in what they call American interest, despite the fact the American people reject it outright. | ||
| And when Joe Biden flies over there, right after his son called, saying, please help, the prosecutor in Ukraine is investigating the founder of the company that we're using as a CIA front to go up against the gas monopoly, because we want to build a pipeline through Qatar and Turkey. | ||
| I'm not going to get into all of it. | ||
| Let me put it this way. | ||
| The American people do not want to be involved in Ukraine, do not want the vice president flying to Ukraine and offering a billion dollars in loan guarantees for any reason. | ||
| No matter what the American people say, they keep doing it. | ||
| And when Donald Trump got elected by the will of the people through the electoral system. | ||
| The CIA, not just through the whistleblowers falsely accusing Trump of wrongdoing, but through these intel officers who lied to the press. | ||
| And now the email's been released where they said they were doing it to assist Joe Biden with a talking point during a debate. | ||
| This is the intelligence agencies conspiring and committing sedition against the American people. | ||
| If I live in my house and I want to operate in my house as I see fit. | ||
| Police should not be able to walk into my house and tell me I have to live the way they want because I'm wrong and stupid. | ||
| The American people voted for a secure border for our jobs. | ||
| We are tired of the extraction. | ||
| We are tired of our jobs being sent to China and to Mexico. | ||
| We are tired of seeing Michigan be gutted and destroyed. | ||
| We are tired of seeing, as Ro Khanna described it, this leftist, globalist dream, a multicultural dream of bringing in all of these people to create this multicultural utopia, which failed. | ||
| That's Ro Khanna's words. | ||
| And it left the middle class gutted. | ||
| But for some reason, my entire life, no matter how many times we said, no more war, no matter how many times we said, stop sending our jobs overseas. | ||
| They kept doing it. | ||
| And then Donald Trump gets elected. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| Well, Bernie Sanders was the first choice for a lot of people. | ||
| He was the guy saying, we've got to secure the border. | ||
| It's the Koch brothers who want the free trade. | ||
| They want the illegal immigration to come in so they can pay them pennies and the dollar. | ||
| Donald Trump was saying a lot of similar things. | ||
| In the 2015-2016 cycle, the media was comparing Trump and Bernie. | ||
| Bernie got crushed by the DNC. They forced him out. | ||
| He bends the knee and gives into the machine, and now he makes no sense. | ||
| And Donald Trump wins. | ||
| He wasn't supposed to win. | ||
| So what happens? | ||
| Intel agents conspire against Donald Trump, along with powerful interests at law firms in D.C., to destroy what the American people voted for. | ||
| And that's why I agree. | ||
| There are men and women at the CIA and FBI who are deep, patriotic Americans. | ||
| I know they exist. | ||
| I've met some of them. | ||
| I've met them years ago. | ||
| I talked to a guy who worked at Intel in D.C., and he said, you know, there are a lot of people in these departments and these agencies who love Trump and want to see him succeed. | ||
| And then I said, but is your department being run by these deep state bureaucratic elements? | ||
| And the response I got was, it's the same inside as it is outside. | ||
| And at the time, woke was law. | ||
| Nobody wanted to speak up. | ||
| So the people at the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, all the other intelligence agencies, of which I believe there's 17, the people who like Trump wouldn't speak up in his defense. | ||
| Certainly I think many of those people are good, but here's the problem now. | ||
| Trump's in office. | ||
| He's going to have to go to each one of these agencies and say, for one, with the FBI, he's looking to terminate a bunch of them. | ||
| Why? | ||
| What is it, like 40% of FBI agents were hunting down J6ers? | ||
| I mean, that is absolutely insane considering we had thousands of far leftists across this country ransacking everything in the George Floyd riots. | ||
| Trump sent out a memo that got leaked, or a memo was sent out, I think it was from Trump, saying, we don't believe you can uphold the Constitution and do your duty because of the biased political actions you took during the Biden administration. | ||
| I completely agree. | ||
| Trump's going to have to—that's why they said, tell us who was involved in this. | ||
| They turned over 5,000 names. | ||
| Judges and Democrats are desperately trying to stop that. | ||
| Why? | ||
| These institutions are majority deeply corrupt. | ||
| You either have the banality of evil or evil. | ||
| There certainly may be good patriotic FBI agents who sat by and watched as corrupt institutions went after the president in the most corrupt ways and hunted down nonviolent protesters. | ||
| You want to complain about the violent people in J6? Please do so. | ||
| I think if you hit a cop, you deserve jail. | ||
| But what about the people who are walking around on the grass? | ||
| What about Owen Schroyer? | ||
| So those FBI agents go after those people while other agents sat back and watched. | ||
| That is not the kind of person I want upholding my constitution or at least pretending to. | ||
| Donald Trump's going to have to go into these institutions in whatever way he can, shatter them, splinter them into the wind, and maybe we can rebuild them. | ||
| Maybe if we get Pam Bondi and Kash Patel start going through and firing all of these people that were complicit in this corruption and the targeting of the American people, Maybe then we can actually have a resurgence of deep patriotic Americans in Intel we can trust. | ||
| Yeah, bravo. | ||
| Bravo to Tim Pool. | ||
| Really a powerful rant. | ||
| Drawing so many separate things together. | ||
| And we could talk about each one of them, but I also think he makes a great point about the fact that this was allowed to go on in these Major organizations within the federal government. | ||
| Because of the cowardice and weakness of the patriots who refuse to stand up and do the right thing. | ||
| And it's kind of a consistent, constant problem everywhere. | ||
| And it's one of the things that I think Infowars does a great job. | ||
| At least we try. | ||
| And I think the best example is somebody like Alex. | ||
| Trying, and I make it a personal goal, like trying to express things in a way to encourage people to not allow themselves to be abused or not allow themselves to be party to corruption like this. | ||
| Or just in your personal life. | ||
| If you see that your school is teaching little kids inappropriate stuff, you make noise about it. | ||
| You get angry about it. | ||
| You confront the school board at the meetings. | ||
| You run for school board if they don't do the right thing. | ||
| You complain. | ||
| You go to the local news station. | ||
| You get stories. | ||
| The squeaky wheel gets the grease, right? | ||
| You have to make noise. | ||
| You have to stand up when you see things that are going wrong. | ||
| Same thing in the FBI and the CIA. How pathetic, how utterly pathetic to be a CIA agent or an FBI agent. | ||
| To be, oh, I really love Trump. | ||
| No, I'm a big Trump supporter. | ||
| It's just, you know, I gotta do my job. | ||
| You're just hunting down Trump supporters, pointing loaded guns into babies' cribs. | ||
| I gotta get a paycheck, right? | ||
| It's one of the things where, you know, we always point to where it's like, what we're experiencing now should never even have started. | ||
| Like, as soon as somebody brings up something, I think I used the example the other day when it came to, you know, you finally passed a law to the Olympics aren't going to allow men to compete against women. | ||
| And it's like, yeah, no, they never should. | ||
| And at any point in the process, if somebody's trying to push men in women's sports, all it takes is one person just to go, no, we're not doing this. | ||
| Discussion over. | ||
| You can whine all you want. | ||
| So if you're in the FBI, you're in the CIA. If you're in the local police force, if you're in the DMV, wherever you work, if you got rabid leftist psychos openly destroying your institution to pursue Trump, try speaking up against them. | ||
| Try standing up against them. | ||
| I know it can be scary. | ||
| I know. | ||
| And this is part of the trick. | ||
| This is part of the trap. | ||
| They have you in. | ||
| They've given you very cushy jobs. | ||
| Access to secret information and all of this stuff that they can take away from you if you don't behave. | ||
| I understand that that's a big risk. | ||
| It would be a big sacrifice for you to make. | ||
| First of all, the sacrifice you're making it for, the reason you're making the sacrifice is because it's the future of our country and whether we exist or not and whether these agencies that are empowered with surveillance and arrest authority, are they going to actually go after criminals or are they going to become a tool of oppression? | ||
| Is worth nothing compared to what you are for sure getting if you don't take the risk. | ||
| You see what I mean? | ||
| So I get it. | ||
| They have your cushy job, your marble bathrooms, your brass fixtures. | ||
| I know. | ||
| They make you feel really cool and you don't want to lose the seat at the cool kids table. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| Get over it. | ||
| You got to stand up against it. | ||
| And by the way, if people did that and if more people did that, it wouldn't be an issue. | ||
| I can't tell you how many times I've been in a situation. | ||
| We're in a room, and there's some leftist just spouting off, because they feel no hesitation in saying what they believe, even when it's just patently insane. | ||
| They'll try to shove it down everybody's throats. | ||
| I can't tell you how many times I've been in a situation where there's some leftist person saying a bunch of crazy stuff, and nobody's saying anything, and everybody's just sort of nodding along, or just being quiet. | ||
| And I'll just say something and then like three or four other people go, yeah, yeah, you know, actually, yeah, actually, I think that is kind of crazy. | ||
| I actually agree with Harrison. | ||
| It's like all it takes is one person just to go, this is wrong. | ||
| This is really, this is really wrong and bad. | ||
| And I don't think we should be doing this. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| If the punishment for that is that they fire you, well, you've got a lawsuit that you, I mean, you do have any idea the number of people that will contribute to a legal fund for a whistleblower or for somebody that's fired for standing up against the FBI when they're you do have any idea the number of people that will contribute to a legal fund At the end of the day, we know the bad guys are bad. | ||
| We know the evil people are going to try to do evil things. | ||
| All that you need is people to stand up against it. | ||
| You can't be mad at the dog for having rabies. | ||
| It's going to try to bite you. | ||
| It's your responsibility to put it down. | ||
| You understand? | ||
| That these organizations are evil. | ||
| There's sort of nothing we can do about that. | ||
| These people are attracted to these positions of power because they're ambitious in one way or another. | ||
| They're usually not good people. | ||
| We get that. | ||
| We know they're going to try to use the organization for evil. | ||
| The only way that happens is if you don't stand up against it. | ||
| And if you don't speak out against it. | ||
| And the reason most people don't speak out against it is because they're just not confident enough. | ||
| To express it. | ||
| They have a feeling that if they go, well, actually, I think this is wrong, then they're going to get, you know, brow beaten and everybody's going to, you know, look sideways at them and nobody's going to stand up for them. | ||
| It's like, who cares? | ||
| If you're right, speak up. | ||
| Just say it. | ||
| Just stand up against it. | ||
| Just refuse to comply with illegal orders. | ||
| And at this point, I mean, the entire agency is going to shut down because you didn't. | ||
| So I have no sympathy for you. | ||
| Like, everybody in the FBI should be fired because either they're the people doing the bad thing or they're cowards that allow the bad thing to happen. | ||
| They all need to be cast to the wind. | ||
| We'll be right back on the other side. | ||
| Stay with us. | ||
| Stay with us. | ||
| But no, we definitely did. | ||
| Donald Trump said he was going to bring on Elon Musk. | ||
| He said he was going to do Doge. | ||
| He said he was going to downsize the government. | ||
| He suggested that's the case. | ||
| We voted for it. | ||
| It's a done deal. | ||
| At the same time, I'm perfectly willing to acknowledge how strange it is. | ||
| How very strange this new sort of... | ||
| It's almost like... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Like, revolutionary in a way. | ||
| Like, it's like, do we have, like, almost a triumvirate at this point? | ||
| Like, we've got the two leaders at once in a way? | ||
| It's weird. | ||
| It's like we have, like, a tag team presidency right now. | ||
| Obviously, Donald Trump is the president. | ||
| But the role Elon Musk is playing is being pumped up so much and is taking such a prominent position in the media. | ||
| It's almost like we have two presidents. | ||
| It's very odd. | ||
| But it's good, but I like it. | ||
| It's almost like we're watching the governmental populist revolution and the private populist revolution join forces to combat the government-slash-privately-owned tyranny that we've been struggling under for a while. | ||
| It's just pretty wild. | ||
| So this press conference was very... | ||
| Unique situation. | ||
| It was Donald Trump at the Resolute desk, but he's, like in most of the clips, he's like pretty silent. | ||
| He's letting Elon Musk do most of the talking. | ||
| Elon Musk is just standing there next to the Resolute desk in a hat, in his black Make America Great Again hat with his son. | ||
| And I gotta be honest, I don't like the son thing. | ||
| I don't like that he drags his kid around everywhere. | ||
| I don't think it's, I think it's, Fake. | ||
| I think he's using him as a prop and I don't really like it. | ||
| It works. | ||
| I mean, it softens his image quite a bit. | ||
| Hard to call somebody, you know, evil. | ||
| The reincarnation of Hitler when he's got his son, you know, bouncing on his shoulder. | ||
| It works. | ||
| And I don't really trust it. | ||
| I mean, doesn't he have like 12 kids or something? | ||
| Why is he always taking the same one around? | ||
| It's kind of unfair to the other kids, don't you think? | ||
| And you just think about, you know, Tucker Carlson's got like eight kids or something crazy. | ||
| I never see Tucker Carlson dragging his kids around when he's going to do political stuff. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I just think it's a little cynical. | ||
| I think it's a little... | ||
| I don't know what the right word is. | ||
| Just fake. | ||
| Just phony. | ||
| I think it's a little bit phony, and I don't really like it. | ||
| I feel like he's pandering a little bit, and I don't like being pandered to. | ||
| I wish I could trust it, though. | ||
| I do like the image. | ||
| I like that he's, you know, it's good to see politicians, little kids running around everywhere. | ||
| In a way, I really like it, but at the same time, I'm like, it's not real. | ||
| It's not... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| He seems like he's only with them during, like, photo ops, and even the way he interacts with them, it's like, he doesn't seem super comfortable. | ||
| Like, this is just a normal thing that he does every day. | ||
| So, I... I just think it's unnecessary and just kind of off-putting to me. | ||
| But that's just a personal note. | ||
| But it is something that's happening during these clips where they get interrupted by the kid every once in a while, which is very funny. | ||
| I do like... | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| Everything about what we're covering today, I'm torn about. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| I love a little kid running around in a little suit, interrupting the president. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| It's cute. | ||
| It's human. | ||
| We want people with kids like... | ||
| It was one of the great things about when Trump was doing the space with Elon Musk. | ||
| It was like Trump and Musk and some other people and everybody who was talking had kids talking in the background. | ||
| I like that we are now being run by people who have a stake in the future because they have children and they seem to actually love their children unlike certain former presidents I could point to who either don't love their kids or love them a little bit too much, let's just say. | ||
| I like the innocent family atmosphere. | ||
| At the same time, I'm like... | ||
| It seems fake. | ||
| It seems phony. | ||
| It seems like a put-on. | ||
| So I don't know. | ||
| Not to get off track about his son, but I do feel like it's a little bit illustrative of how I feel about the whole thing. | ||
| Like, yeah, this is great. | ||
| I think. | ||
| No, I like this a lot. | ||
| At first, you know, everything's like, well... | ||
| If it's real, then it's great. | ||
| If he really is just like, yeah, I'm just bringing my kid. | ||
| He'll enjoy it. | ||
| It's fun. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Wonderful. | ||
| If it's like, ah, gee, people are really hating me. | ||
| I bet they'll hate me unless I have my kid on my shoulder. | ||
| Like, then I'm like, well, okay. | ||
| Now you're just a fake. | ||
| Now you're just a phony. | ||
| So that's sort of the thing with all this, where it's like, I love that Elon Musk is helping Trump to run everything at the same time. | ||
| Man wants to put a chip in my brain. | ||
| Are we really this excited? | ||
| Let's just go to the video, shall we? | ||
| Clip number seven here, this is Elon Musk, talking about how it's necessary to downsize the government in the way that we are. | ||
| CBS News, Elon Musk defends Doge in Oval Office as Trump orders agency to comply with cuts. | ||
| And he also talks about democracy. | ||
| Maybe we just need a ticker at the bottom of the screen that just says America is a republic, not a democracy, because I don't want to have to say it every day. | ||
| But you also have to understand that there's two, well, there's lots of definitions of democracy. | ||
| There's the big D democracy, like a direct democracy as a form of government that we are not and should never be, and we're explicitly designed not to be a direct democracy. | ||
| But then there's just the small D democracy, which just means... | ||
| The participation of the people in their government. | ||
| So when he says democracy in this clip, just think about the dictionary definition of democracy as being ruled by the people or the regular people having a say and the ultimate say in who is in our government. | ||
| In our case, with a republic, their will is carried out through intermediaries and representatives, not direct democracy. | ||
| Just a little note I have for what Elon Musk says here as he gets into... | ||
| Whether or not we are a democracy and what it would take for us to be one. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
| At a high level, if you say, what is the goal of Dojo, and I think a significant part of the presidency is to restore democracy. | ||
| This may seem like, well, are we in a democracy? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, if you don't have a feedback loop, FBX, we'd have to... | |
| Sorry. | ||
| I tell you gravitas can be difficult sometimes. | ||
| So, if there's not a good feedback loop from the people... | ||
| To the government. | ||
| And if you have rule of the bureaucrat, if the bureaucracy is in charge, then what meaning does democracy actually have? | ||
| If the people cannot vote... | ||
| And have their will be decided by their elected representatives in the form of the president and the Senate and the House. | ||
| Then we don't live in a democracy, we live in a bureaucracy. | ||
| So it's incredibly important that we close that feedback loop, we fix that feedback loop, and that the public, the public's elected representatives, the president, the House and the Senate, decide what happens as opposed to a large unelected. | ||
| This is not to say that there are good people who are in the federal bureaucracy, but you can't have an autonomous federal bureaucracy. | ||
| You have to have one that's responsive to the people. | ||
| That's the whole point of a democracy. | ||
| And if you looked at the founders today and said, what do you think of the way things have turned out? | ||
| Well, we have this unelected The fourth unconstitutional branch of government, which is the bureaucracy, which has, in a lot of ways, currently more power than any elected representative. | ||
| And this is not something that people want. | ||
| And it does not match the will of people. | ||
| So it's just something we've got to fix. | ||
| And we've also got to address the deficit. | ||
| A $2 trillion deficit. | ||
| And if we don't do something about this deficit, the country's going bankrupt. | ||
| I mean, it's really astounding that the interest payments alone on the national debt exceed the Defense Department budget. | ||
| Which is shocking because we spend a lot of money on defense. | ||
| And if that just keeps going, we're essentially going to bankrupt the country. | ||
| So what I really want to say is it's not optional for us to reduce the federal expenses. | ||
| It's essential. | ||
| It's essential for America to remain solvent as a country. | ||
| And it's essential for America to have the resources necessary to provide things to its citizens and not simply be servicing vast amounts of debt. | ||
| Not just servicing vast amounts of debt. | ||
| It seems to me like the way that they're approaching this really previously seemingly insurmountable problem is in a very deliberate and methodical fashion, which I really appreciate. | ||
| It seems like they're building up to ending the Fed, getting Ron Paul on board, and actually going for the head of the snake. | ||
| I think that's... | ||
| And when you look at the budget and you see that we're servicing debt on money that we could just print ourselves, and it's like our number one expense, yeah, I think if you're serious about cutting government waste, well, the Fed would be the first place to go. | ||
| We could be printing our own money and not borrowing it with interest from a private bank. | ||
| But you don't go at the head of the snake right off. | ||
| First, you have to lure the snake into a false sense of security. | ||
| By going after everything else. | ||
| So it seems effective what they're doing. | ||
| Again, it's interesting seeing Donald Trump sort of take the back seat in a press conference. | ||
| But clearly this is in response to the sort of surprising amount of outrage against Elon Musk. | ||
| I mean, people legitimately hate him more than Trump at this point. | ||
| But then again... | ||
| I don't think they're kind of like dogs. | ||
| They're kind of like Pavlovian responses to things. | ||
| I don't think they hate or love anything. | ||
| They just sort of, you know, Elon Musk is the flavor of the week. | ||
| And so that's who gets their panties in a bunch right now. | ||
| But he's launched another effort or announced another effort yesterday, which again should have happened a long time ago. | ||
| And could have some very, very, very interesting outcomes if it's pursued to its logical end. | ||
| It's the idea of investigating public officials, including congressmen and senators, whose net worth is in the millions, despite the fact that they're only paid $100,000 or so a year. | ||
| Which this is the classic meme, where it's like, how do you make $10 million when your salary is... | ||
| 100,000. | ||
| In two years, you're now a multi-multi-millionaire. | ||
| How did that work? | ||
| Well, apparently Elon Musk is going to find out. | ||
| Let's go to clip number eight. | ||
| Could you mention some of the things that your team has found, some of the crazy numbers, including the woman that walked away with about 30 million? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Well, we do find it sort of rather odd that, you know, there are quite a few people in the bureaucracy who have ostensibly a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars, but somehow managed to accrue tens of millions of dollars in net worth while they are... | ||
| In that position, which is, you know, what happened to USAID. We're just curious as to where it came from. | ||
| Maybe they're very good at investing, in which case we should take their investment advice, perhaps. | ||
| But it just seems to be, mysteriously, they get wealthier. | ||
| We don't know why. | ||
| Where does it come from? | ||
| And I think the reality is that they're getting wealthier at the taxpayer expense. | ||
| That's the honest truth of it. | ||
| So, you know, we're looking at, say, If you look at, say, Treasury, for example, basic controls that should be in place, that are in place in any company, such as making sure that any given payment has a payment categorization code, that there is a comment field that describes the payment, and that if a payment is on the do not pay list, that you don't actually pay it. | ||
| None of those things are true currently. | ||
| So the reason that departments can't pass audits is because the payments don't have a categorization code. | ||
| It's like just a massive number of blank checks just flying out the building. | ||
| So you can't reconcile blank checks. | ||
| You've got comment fields that are also blanks. | ||
| You don't know why the payment was made. | ||
| And then we've got this truly absurd, a do not pay list, which can take up to a year for an organization to get on the do not pay list. | ||
| And we're talking about terrorist organizations. | ||
| We're talking about... | ||
| Known fraudsters, known aspects of waste, known things that do not match any congressional appropriation can take up to a year to get on the list, and even what's on the list, the list is not used. | ||
| It's mind-blowing. | ||
| So what we're talking about here, we're really just talking about adding common sense controls that should be present, that haven't been present. | ||
| So you say, well, how could such a thing arise? | ||
| That seems crazy. | ||
| When you understand that really everything is geared towards complaint minimization. | ||
| So then you understand the motivations. | ||
| So if people receive money, they don't complain, obviously. | ||
| But if people don't receive money, they do complain. | ||
| And the fraudsters complain the loudest and the fastest. | ||
| So then when you understand that, then it makes sense. | ||
| Oh, that's why everything just, they approve all the payments at Treasury. | ||
| Because if you approve all the payments, you don't get complaints. | ||
| But now we're saying that, no, actually, we are going to complain. | ||
| If money is spent badly, if your taxpayer dollars are not spent in a sensible and frugal manner, then that's not okay. | ||
| Your tax dollars need to be spent wisely on things that matter to the people. | ||
| I mean, these things, it's just common sense. | ||
| It's not draconian or radical, I think. | ||
| It's really just saying, let's look at each of these expenditures and say, is this actually in the best interest of the people? | ||
| And if it is, it's proved. | ||
| If it's not, we should think about it. | ||
| So, you know, there's crazy things. | ||
| Like, just cross-reexamination of Social Security, and we've got people in there that are 150 years old. | ||
| Now, do you know anyone who's 150? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| Okay. | ||
| They should be on the Guinness Book of World Records. | ||
| They're missing out. | ||
| So, again, another, you know, important task that probably should have been handled a long time ago, of course, they're referencing things like Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren managing to accrue a net worth of $12 million, at least, it's likely much higher, on a relatively modest $200,000 per year senator's salary. | ||
| And they do it in a number of different ways. | ||
| Obviously, there's the Nancy Pelosi investment tracker, where apparently if you make the same investments Nancy Pelosi does, you beat the average stock market return by like 100 times. | ||
| Because if you're passing laws that affect major industries, then you can invest just before you pass the law, knowing that you're going to give a major boost or a major downturn to whatever stock the law involves. | ||
| Congress is legally allowed to do that, but they shouldn't be. | ||
| I think that's kind of obvious, but they do. | ||
| They're basically exempt from insider trading laws that would affect regular people and that regular people get hit with pretty regularly. | ||
| They're exempt from. | ||
| They shouldn't be, obviously. | ||
| And if anybody shouldn't be exempt, it's them. | ||
| Because obviously you don't want them taking in their investments to account when they're trying to do the, you know, manage the government of the country. | ||
| They should have only one concern. | ||
| It should be what's best for the American people. | ||
| But instead, you've got this little ticker in the back of their mind going, well, if I pass this law, I can invest in this and make this much money. | ||
| If I do it this way, then I can make this much money, which is a heck of a lot more. | ||
| I think I'm leaning more towards this way. | ||
| And even if it's, you know, subconscious, that shouldn't be an impact on on the way our laws are written. | ||
| So obviously that's wrong and bad, but there's other legal ways that they can get bribed if If you have a publishing company that wants to bribe a politician, give them a $5 million advance for a book that might not ever get written, right? | ||
| Oh, we'll pay you $5 million advance for the right to publish your book. | ||
| And just like some person ghostwrites it, it's just a $5 million gift, essentially. | ||
| But it's in the guise of consumer activity, so it's technically legal. | ||
| There's like a million ways they do that. | ||
| Obviously, Hillary Clinton's speeches. | ||
| Was a big topic of concern in 2016 where she'd be paid a quarter million dollars for a 10-minute speech to a tiny group of people by some corporation. | ||
| Or just have NGOs and have people donate to the Clinton Foundation. | ||
| Because the Saudis are so good-hearted. | ||
| They just give billions of dollars to charity on a regular basis. | ||
| Nothing to do with buying political favors, right? | ||
| So again, investigating people who have become rich despite being on a public servant's salary. | ||
| I think it's a very important and good thing for them to be doing. | ||
| Again, we'll get into a little bit more of the exact executive orders that Trump has signed over the recent past. | ||
| I just want to see if there's any other comments I want to make about that. | ||
| Probably think of one here in a second. | ||
| But I want to go to another video here. | ||
| Because something else got brought up during this press conference. | ||
| That is just like hilarious, kind of sad. | ||
| Apparently, it's hard to fire people from the federal government because all of the federal files are kept in a limestone mine under a mountain. | ||
| Oh, okay, what? | ||
| Yeah, apparently so. | ||
| Let's go to clip number five. | ||
| Digitizing retirement paperwork. | ||
| It's a pretty big task. | ||
| Apparently you need an excavator to do it. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He was dead serious when he said that we can only retire 10,000 people a month because the retirement paperwork, paper, is kept in a limestone mine. | |
| All the retirement paperwork is manual on paper. | ||
| It's manually calculated, then written down on a piece of paper. | ||
| Then it goes down a mine. | ||
| And like, what do you mean a mine? | ||
| Like, yeah, there's a limestone mine. | ||
| We'll restore all the retirement paperwork. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I found an article that was written in 2014. The government has been trying to digitize this system since the 80s and has wasted over $100 million on the project with no results. | |
| We're still doing it manually by hand to this day. | ||
| When this article was written, they mentioned that there are 600 employees doing this job, and Elon just said today there are 700 people working on this. | ||
| 11 years later, here we are in 2025, still doing it manually with paper and storing it in a limestone mine. | ||
| If anybody can't see the value of Doge at this point, you're trying so hard not to. | ||
| Uh, okay? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| What? | ||
| Apparently this is true. | ||
| From 2014, a limestone mine and government paperwork. | ||
| In Boyers, Pennsylvania, the trucks full of paperwork come every day, turning off a country road north of Pittsburgh and descend through a gateway into the earth underground. | ||
| They stop at a metal door decorated with an American flag. | ||
| I can think about 13 different movies we can make with this setting. | ||
| There's something about it I just love. | ||
| I mean, do they access it regularly? | ||
| Is it just there for storage? | ||
| Because I can't imagine, like, remember David Brown? | ||
| Can we pull up his file? | ||
| And the guy's like, yep, and puts on a hard hat with a flashlight on it, gets a little canary in a cage, and starts going down. | ||
| Like, what do you mean? | ||
| And then it's like... | ||
| It's like so epic and so mundane at the same time. | ||
| There's something about that too that you can almost imagine like 10,000 years from now when America is long gone and there's some Indiana Jones-style archaeologist finding this giant man-made cavern and they're like, what secrets does it hold? | ||
| What would be worth going through so much trouble to hide deep under the earth? | ||
| It must be bad. | ||
| It's just... | ||
| Personnel files? | ||
| It's just hundreds of thousands of personnel files from the 70s? | ||
| It's weird. | ||
| It's very funny that this is actually real. | ||
| And there's video and photos of it, too. | ||
| I don't know if the crew can find any. | ||
| I didn't grab any exactly. | ||
| But they have 28,000 file cabinets full of paper. | ||
| You can imagine the storage unit at the end of Indiana Jones where they put the Ark of the Covenant. | ||
| That apparently exists, except it's all... | ||
| Retirement files for federal workers. | ||
| And in a way, it's almost symbolic of the American government itself. | ||
| I doubt this mine was originally intended to hold defunct paperwork. | ||
| I have the feeling that this was something cool at one point, that it was like at the beginning of the Cold War and it was like nuclear weapons were just invented. | ||
| They were like, we need to have a parallel government ready to go underground. | ||
| We'll have facilities, as far as the eye can see, powered by miniature nuclear reactors. | ||
| And it's just like this kind of epic sci-fi, like the world is our oyster. | ||
| We're landing on the moon. | ||
| We're building underground cities. | ||
| And then just over time, it just becomes that room in your house where you just throw it in the back room. | ||
| Throw it in the junk drawer. | ||
| It just became the junk drawer for the American government. | ||
| Sci-fi level futuristic underground city has just become a defunct file storage system that you can't get rid of because it's too complicated. | ||
| This legacy system that prevents you from replacing it because it's so complicated and entrenched in the way that you do things that you just have no choice but to let it get messier and messier and less and less efficient. | ||
| As it just entrenches itself into your practices further and further. | ||
| There's something symbolic about this. | ||
| I really feel like there's something deeply poignant about the fact that probably a one-time nuclear raid shelter that the American government was making for a doomsday scenario is now just a hoard. | ||
| It's just a goblin hoard of paperwork that we don't need and haven't for 50 years. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, second hour of American Journal is on. | ||
| I'll open up the phone lines for your calls this hour. | ||
| Still a lot of videos and stories to get to, including the announcement from Anna Paulina Luna that she'll be heading the disclosure, the declassification task force. | ||
| Their task is to allow it to be declassified. | ||
| I don't get it. | ||
| We'll get into that. | ||
| A lot of other videos to get to, including this one. | ||
| I want to go to this one because it just, it again reemphasizes the Lack of self-awareness that the Democrats have and how that is absolutely bringing them down to a level of failure that they may never recover from. | ||
| That's from the Piers Morgan Uncensored show. | ||
| Let's go to clip number two now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They took down the publicly available budget for USAID and then just started making... | |
| So I'm all for cutting government spending, but it shouldn't be happening. | ||
| It's there. | ||
| It's all documented. | ||
| It's all transparent. | ||
| And you all hit it. | ||
| It was transparent until it was taken off of the website, Mercedes. | ||
| Like, you guys took it down, and then now you're making shit up. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| Oh, you think that that's your conspiracy theory? | ||
| One of the reasons why it's pathetic is Joe Biden lost. | ||
| Okay, let me bring in Sage. | ||
| Let me bring in Sage. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sage. | |
| One of the reasons why Kamala Harris slash Joe Biden slash the Democrats, the whole movement lost, is because of the lack of transparency, Mike, and I think you know that. | ||
| You couldn't even be honest about the mental acuity of the commander-in-chief. | ||
| Everybody knows what was going on the entire time. | ||
| I spoke to the man, interviewed him three months after he was inaugurated in 2021. And he couldn't finish his sentences then in the commercial break leading up to it. | ||
| And this is not a personal attack. | ||
| It is devastating. | ||
| And you couldn't even be honest about that. | ||
| The transparency is everything. | ||
| One thing I think I learned about Donald Trump over the last few years is since he lost the election in 2020. What did he say on Joe Rogan? | ||
| He came out and he was honest. | ||
| Are you saying he didn't lose the election? | ||
| 100%. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| That's four years ago. | ||
| If you want to, don't distract. | ||
| That's my opinion. | ||
| Let me continue. | ||
| He went on Joe Rogan and he talked about the fact that he learned a lot and maybe in that first term he should have taken a little bit more time and some of his picks weren't the best picks and was too loyal and did things for too much, for too long, all of the things. | ||
| He actually admitted it and acknowledged where mistakes had been made and how... | ||
| This time he had another plan if elected, and sure enough, you got to go back to 2015 and 16. The whole reason why he won is because people were sick of the norm, sick of what was coming out of Washington, to bring in somebody with no political experience and elect him as president. | ||
| They did not listen to that for years. | ||
| We know what happened in 2020. He comes back because the Democrats did not take advantage of the position they were in and also tried. | ||
| You lied. | ||
| You failed. | ||
| You weren't even honest about the commander-in-chief. | ||
| And then he wasn't hiding for the rest of his term after that debacle of a debate on June 27th. | ||
| I say it's okay. | ||
| There's no need to fight and go back and forth. | ||
| Donald Trump said it. | ||
| You got to own the failings. | ||
| You got to own the mistakes. | ||
| How do you improve from now? | ||
| You can debate till the end of time, but just like the Republicans had to look themselves in the mirror after losing, right? | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| And I'm not asking just you, Mike. | ||
| What are you as a group doing? | ||
| Roe mentioned it, to say, why was this such a... | ||
| I mean, did you see the map? | ||
| Did you see all the red on the map? | ||
| This was a domination of the election. | ||
| What did we do wrong? | ||
| Yeah, the problem, it seems to me, is the Democrats just don't have anybody out there. | ||
| They were shocked by it. | ||
| And if I was a Democrat or just a liberal in America right now, I'm watching Trump supremely confident, surrounded by a lot of smart people, doing things the way he probably wished he could have done it the first time around, without the problem of a pandemic to crush him. | ||
| If he gets four clean years at this, he could go down as one of the all-time great presidents. | ||
| I wouldn't put it past him at all, including, by the way, finding peace in the Middle East. | ||
| So again, just a bunch of great points made by that woman. | ||
| Her name is, I believe, Sage Steele. | ||
| Sage Steele was her name. | ||
| And yeah, she made a bunch of great points. | ||
| And of course, it gets to the heart of the spiritual weakness of the Democrats. | ||
| They can't accept responsibility for their failures because in their worldview... | ||
| Their ideology is superior. | ||
| It cannot fail. | ||
| So failure has to be explained by something else, by something outside of it. | ||
| They cannot even conceive of failure. | ||
| All right, good morning. | ||
| Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Welcome back to the American Journal. | ||
| I'm your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
| I'm going to try to hit the accelerator here in this second hour because we still have so much to talk about. | ||
| And it's like so much is happening in D.C. It's like I don't even have time for anything else, but there's so much other stuff going on. | ||
| I'm going to try to just drill down and get through the political stuff here in this segment, open up the lines for your phone calls, and then move on to some more global topics. | ||
| Let me just say before I do any of that, that I went the whole first hour without asking you, even once, to go to thealexjonesstore.com. | ||
| And here's a simple fact. | ||
| People just really have a hard time understanding. | ||
| We're funded by our audience. | ||
| We're funded by you. | ||
| We're funded by viewers like you. | ||
| And that's it. | ||
| That's all. | ||
| That's the only place that we get money. | ||
| And if you think I'm lying about that, we don't even control our own finances anymore. | ||
| They're being managed by a court-appointed, you know, whatever, CRO or whatever it's called. | ||
| All of our finances have been totally public for years. | ||
| It's a thing that gets under my skin. | ||
| I don't care if you think my glasses are stupid. | ||
| I don't care if you want to insult the tie I'm wearing. | ||
| That doesn't bother me. | ||
| It bothers me when people question our legitimacy because we've paid the price over and over again. | ||
| We've proven we're the real deal. | ||
| And it's frustrating to me that some people still haven't gotten the message. | ||
| I shouldn't have been saying this because if you're watching me right now, you're probably not one of these people. | ||
| But in case you don't know, we get funding. | ||
| From our stores. | ||
| From Infowarsstore.com, TheAlexJonesStore.com. | ||
| It's you. | ||
| It's viewers like you. | ||
| The contributions that you make, the products that you purchase, go to funding this organization, and you are responsible for all of our success, and we are beholden to you and you alone. | ||
| We do a good job. | ||
| We hope that you go to the Infowarsstore or TheAlexJonesStore.com and purchase a product, some memorabilia, some merchandise, one of the incredible supplements, because not only do we... | ||
| Believe in the products and we like them ourselves and we trust that you'll like them and you do and people call in all the time talking about how their lives were changed because of the products or mad that we don't have the products in store because, you know, they forgot to stock up. | ||
| The products are fantastic. | ||
| We want to give you a good product. | ||
| And, you know, actually I was just on a tangent within the tangent. | ||
| We're doing the Trump weave here. | ||
| I was listening to some, I can't remember what it was, but they're talking about snake oil salesmen. | ||
| And the whole thing with snake oil salesmen is that they would be in traveling carnivals because by the time people figured out the snake oil was bunk, they would be in a different city and there was nothing you could do about it, right, in the Old West or whatever. | ||
| You'd sell them something, promise them you'd cure all their ales, and then you hit the road and you'll never see them again. | ||
| What we do at Infowars is the opposite. | ||
| Our whole process is to try to retain Customers, we want you coming back over and over and over again. | ||
| It'd be kind of suicidal for us to sell you something that doesn't work. | ||
| Because we don't want to just sell you one thing and then make off into the sunset. | ||
| We're here for the long run. | ||
| We've done this for decades. | ||
| People come back over and over and over again because the products are the real deal. | ||
| All of them. | ||
| All of them are incredibly powerful in different ways, in different forms, different functions for each one. | ||
| But every single one of them does exactly what it says it does, has the best ingredients available on Earth. | ||
| In the most bioavailable way that we can possibly make it, whether it's white labeling just the top of the line supplements or our own concoctions, our own supplement recipes that we put out that are just combining some of the top stuff in the world and making sure it's even better than what's available elsewhere. | ||
| We want you to return. | ||
| We want you to be return customers. | ||
| Our business model relies on you being happy with the product that you get. | ||
| Alex says it's a 360 win. | ||
| It's like a 1080 win. | ||
| You're getting a fantastic product. | ||
| Hopefully you love the product so much that you come back. | ||
| Even if you don't watch this anymore, you'll just be like, but I still got to get the product. | ||
| I still need another water filter, and I know who has the best ones. | ||
| I still appreciate what iodine has done for me, so I should stock up there. | ||
| So we want you to enjoy the product. | ||
| We want you to come back and be repeat customers. | ||
| We also are free to say whatever we want because it really is as simple as... | ||
| If you think we're doing a good job, we ask you to go to these websites, purchase our products, and we'll continue to do what we do for as long as we have the funding. | ||
| But we don't answer to sponsors. | ||
| We don't answer to investors. | ||
| We don't answer to anybody but you. | ||
| If you're hearing my voice right now, you are my boss at the end of the day. | ||
| And the feedback we get is whether you go to Infowarsstore.com or thealexjonesstore.com and make a purchase. | ||
| So if you think what we do here providing 10 plus hours of live Brand new, totally independent news content, breaking bombshell stories, and helping to shape the course of human history. | ||
| You can be a part of this by going to thealexjonesstore.com. | ||
| Go to thealexjonesstore.com slash Harrison to get... | ||
| Well, you don't get anything, but it does show them who sent you. | ||
| And I get a little cut, so if you want to support me, go to thealexjonesstore.com slash Harrison. | ||
| And again, that's the only way. | ||
| It's the only way I have insurance and income. | ||
| It's the only way any of us work is if you go to thealexjonesstore.com. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Hopefully that makes up for me. | ||
| Forgetting to plug the entire first hour. | ||
| But let me tell you about what's actually going on in Washington right now. | ||
| Because it's a ton of stuff. | ||
| And, you know, we are as big of a victim as the flood the zone tactic as the leftist media. | ||
| We're also just trying to keep up with everything going on. | ||
| The biggest news of the day should again be about Doge. | ||
| A new executive order was passed yesterday. | ||
| It empowers Doge to spearhead the complete reorganization of the federal government. | ||
| This is a very thorough thread by Premio Recule on X. Implementing the President's Department of Government Officially Workforce to Optimization Initiative. | ||
| It's what the EO is called. | ||
| The OMB, Office of... | ||
| The budget management office will put out a plan to make the federal workforce smaller and more efficient, including stipulations that agencies must remove four existing employees for each new hire, with a few exceptions. | ||
| New hires will have to be approved by newly installed Doge team leads in each agency. | ||
| These team leads will report what goes on in the agency they're assigned to on a monthly basis. | ||
| Third, agency heads will prepare for a massive reduction in the federal workforce overall. | ||
| Fourth, suitability judgments about accepted service will be expanded. | ||
| Those who do not meet certain legal obligations, those who do not certify NDA compliance, those who steal or misuse government resources are deemed no longer suitable for employment in it. | ||
| Here's the really big part of this order. | ||
| It's kind of buried deep down, but it's very important. | ||
| Agencies are ordered to develop comprehensive reorganization plans that identify offices that can be purged altogether because they lack statutory protections and offices to consolidate. | ||
| Okay, so they're talking about actually taking an axe to the American government in a very forceful way. | ||
| Putting this all together, what the order entails is a massive reorganization of the federal workforce and the streamlining of the civil service to make its operations line up with the goals of Doge. | ||
| Not only that, but it empowers Doge by embedding team leads for oversight. | ||
| Couple this with the February 4th OPM memo on CIOs, and what we have is staggering. | ||
| The federal government will be centralized, stripped down, and more intimately controlled by the president and his delegates, with control enhanced via DOGE. This is the biggest news of the day. | ||
| It's hard to overstate just how big it is. | ||
| Because the federal government has grown so unwieldy that no one can provide you with the semblance of an outline of it, measures like this may just be needed to tame the beast. | ||
| So that's the latest EO, the executive order from Trump, which imposes sweeping reorganizations of the entire federal government in a way that I'm very happy about. | ||
| And again, we can explain why. | ||
| You know, for one thing, I mean, it should be just clear now. | ||
| I mean, it's just, it's a... | ||
| It's a den of thieves. | ||
| The government's just a den of thieves. | ||
| They're just the most relentless thieves you've ever seen. | ||
| In fact, we'll go to a video of them admitting this on hidden camera here in just a second. | ||
| But we'll get into some of the examples, like this one, right? | ||
| DHS fires four FEMA officials over payments to New York City to house migrants. | ||
| There's something about leftists and Democrats in general. | ||
| You know, it reminds me, maybe not the most appropriate reference to make, but it reminds me of the white man's burden where there's a phrase in that, or the term he uses is, he says, people are half devil and half child. | ||
| That's sort of how I picture the Democrats. | ||
| Half of the time, they're like the most brutal and heartless, narcissistic, abusive boyfriend anybody's ever had, where they're just gaslighting you and keeping you And restrained and exploiting you and then blaming you when it all falls apart. | ||
| And just it's this constant, just like heartless gaslighting of the American people. | ||
| And it's sophisticated and cruel and brutal. | ||
| And then the other half of the time, it's like they're little children. | ||
| Who just like, when they don't get what they want, they cry. | ||
| And if you tell them that they can't do something, they just do it anyway. | ||
| Because they're like little children, they're like little kids that you have to like constantly keep an eye on. | ||
| So they're told we're ending all of the subsidies to illegal aliens. | ||
| We're not paying for illegal aliens anymore. | ||
| No more payments should go to illegal aliens. | ||
| And they just send $59 million to illegal immigrants. | ||
| So they have to be fired. | ||
| So they get fired. | ||
| So DHS fires four FEMA officials over payment to New York City to house migrants. | ||
| They have this level of privilege, I guess. | ||
| The image that I come away with, when you're both petulant, you're both childish and immature, and a whiny baby, while also brutal and vicious. | ||
| They're just... | ||
| You just picture the worst people. | ||
| They're just like bad guys from 80s movies that want to tear down the town's skating rink because they can. | ||
| They're just bad people. | ||
| They're just evil, bad, but spoiled people that you almost can't blame because no one's ever... | ||
| Held them to account, so they genuinely don't understand what responsibility is. | ||
| But we still blame them, because they're bad people. | ||
| The Department of Homeland Security announced Tuesday it fired four federal emergency management officials over payments provided to New York City to house migrants arguing without evidence that the officials circumvented leadership, which of course they did. | ||
| The firings come after Elon Musk, who's running Doge and its efforts to dismantle some of the federal agencies accused FEMA on X early Monday of violating a law by sending $59 million to New York last week. | ||
| And his Doge team will demand the money back. | ||
| The tech billionaire suggested earlier this week that the agency may be one of his next targets. | ||
| Writing on X, FEMA is broken. | ||
| Of course, we love to see this. | ||
| I'd like to see some declassification about FEMA. I'd like to know where all of the disposable coffins they bought are. | ||
| I want to know why they were building camps all around the country and what they were... | ||
| Preparing those four. | ||
| So again, you know, I just can't help it but relate the things that Elon and Trump are going through to my struggle as a father of toddlers. | ||
| Because that's really what it's like. | ||
| And the ultimate frustration when you have toddlers is just the boundary testing. | ||
| It's like you go, don't put that in your mouth. | ||
| And he just looks at you and goes, and you're like... | ||
| Okay, now you are making me yell at you. | ||
| If you would just do what we ask when we ask it, it would be no problem, no issue. | ||
| When you're told, do not send the money, don't send the money, or else then we have to get mad and punish you. | ||
| It's like, just don't be children. | ||
| Just don't be little babies. | ||
| You have no excuse. | ||
| You're not little babies. | ||
| You're human beings. | ||
| Act like it. | ||
| So they get fired. | ||
| Good. | ||
| They should be arrested. | ||
| Because it amounts to stealing, 59. Million dollars, which make this like the biggest heist in American history. | ||
| Except, I guess, because it's the government, it's business as usual. | ||
| Meanwhile, the Tulsi Gabbard confirmation vote has been postponed. | ||
| And I was thinking this was saying it was going to happen next Wednesday, but I guess this could have been published yesterday. | ||
| The votes will now be held Wednesday morning, so I suppose today they will be... | ||
| Voting on Tulsi Gabbard. | ||
| Tulsi Gabbard passed her last hurdle on Monday of a procedural vote in the Senate. | ||
| In order to advance a final vote this week for her confirmation as Director of National Intelligence, the vote was in favor of invoking cloture 52-46. | ||
| So she should be confirmed as DNI later today, which again is a very important position to hold as she would sit as the... | ||
| And sort of the managing director of all of the various spy agencies. | ||
| It's the director of national intelligence. | ||
| So all of the intelligence agencies would report to Tulsi Gabbard. | ||
| Previous person occupying this position was, of course, Avril Haines, who is a deep state kingpin and, of course, carried out the event to a one exercise in which they planned the COVID scam they would be running on everybody a month later. | ||
| Actually, before we keep going, or I'll keep going a little bit, but I do want to... | ||
| Go to clip 15 here in just a second. | ||
| It relates to the FEMA thing, but there's other downsizing information that we'll get to first. | ||
| Trump's executive order directs agencies to submit reorganization plans and prepare for RIFs, which is reductions in force. | ||
| This again is just another breakdown of that same executive order. | ||
| The Department of Efficiency Initiative across government. | ||
| Trump signed the executive order Tuesday night in the Oval Office alongside Musk. | ||
| Under the EEO, the Office of Management and Budget will develop a plan to reduce the size of government's workforce through efficiency improvements and attrition, meaning firings. | ||
| The order directs agency heads to prepare to initiate large-scale reductions in force while at the same time terminating both temporary employees and re-employed. | ||
| Some things. | ||
| Working in areas that won't be subject to reductions in force. | ||
| It doesn't specify when these will begin, but it's typically a very complex and time-consuming process that can open agencies to legal challenges and worsening productivity. | ||
| It is one of the things with any organization of the size of the U.S. government, of which there really aren't. | ||
| It basically is the biggest organization in the history of the world, singular entity, if you can call it that. | ||
| Because you do have things like, okay, in the 70s, they started storing employee files in a mine. | ||
| For the last 50 years, it's just been stockpiling files. | ||
| They want to reorganize and digitize it. | ||
| Apparently, they spent $100 million to do so and failed. | ||
| Just completely failed to do it. | ||
| Spent $100 million and then just said, it's impossible. | ||
| It's actually impossible. | ||
| Which, okay, how is it impossible? | ||
| It doesn't even make any sense. | ||
| The problem is that you're constantly getting more files as you're trying to take care of the past files, and you've got 600 people working on that, and it's like, okay, do you fire those 600 people? | ||
| Because then you're not reorganizing the thing that you need to reorganize to make the cuts further down the line. | ||
| It's all very complicated, but I trust that Elon Musk is somebody... | ||
| Do you really want some... | ||
| Do you really want Elon Musk's team? | ||
| Responsible for airlines. | ||
| The planes will fall out of the sky sort of thing. | ||
| And somebody else responded, well, you know, this team can catch a rocket in midair. | ||
| So I think we're all right. | ||
| I think we're okay. | ||
| I think if anybody can do it, it'd be the team surrounding Elon Musk. | ||
| They seem to be experts in providing efficiency to large and encumbered organizations. | ||
| Meanwhile, the left is absolutely... | ||
| Having just really conniption fit after conniption fit. | ||
| I mean, they are really angry at what's going on, but also really impotent to do anything about it. | ||
| And that's just making them frustrated to the point of literal insanity. | ||
| I actually got a couple of videos to go along with this. | ||
| So let's go to some of these. | ||
| Let's go to clip number four first. | ||
| This is the latest desperate... | ||
| Talking point dispensed to the mainstream to try to argue against what Trump and Elon are doing. | ||
| It sort of falls a little flat when you hear it, and it especially is less impactful when it is so clearly a psychological program being run. | ||
| Like some A-B testing group came out with constitutional crisis is the phrase to use, and suddenly everybody on every mainstream media outlet All uses exactly the same words. | ||
| The strategy is not going to work. | ||
| It just doesn't work anymore, okay? | ||
| Maybe for the dummies, maybe for the stupid people that don't realize that the arguments they make are just spoon-fed to them and make no sense. | ||
| You know, maybe it's the same thing happened a couple weeks ago when they were like, President Musk, let's call him President Musk. | ||
| We're going to try to get under Donald Trump's skin by claiming that Elon Musk is really in charge of him. | ||
| That'll annoy him because he's so egotistical. | ||
| And then they'd say that, and you just respond like, what does that even mean, President Musk? | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| And literally, the response I got from a friend of mine was just like, I don't know. | ||
| He's like, I don't know. | ||
| He says it to me. | ||
| I say, what does that mean? | ||
| He says, I'm not sure, actually. | ||
| Why are you saying it? | ||
| They don't even realize what they're saying. | ||
| They don't even understand. | ||
| These people are broken. | ||
| But this is the new talking point that's going out, so don't be surprised if you hear this over and over until it... | ||
| You know, doesn't work. | ||
| And then they come up with the next phrase. | ||
| That's what I said last time. | ||
| Last time I was like, OK, Elon Musk is president. | ||
| That's the latest psyop trying to get under Trump's skin. | ||
| This will go on for two weeks. | ||
| It'll fail. | ||
| And then they'll come up with the next thing. | ||
| Here's the next thing. | ||
| It's constitutional crisis. | ||
| Clip number four. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Trump derangement syndrome is something so real that legislators from the Democratic Party are actually having psychiatric psychological visitors at Capitol Hill. | |
| They have. | ||
| Emotional regulation therapy. | ||
| Because many legislators are now suffering from depression, anxiety, and so many executive orders on behalf of Donald J. Trump in the first days of his administration are altering their emotions. | ||
| That's why Gateway Hispanic launched an article which questions who is actually regulating the regulators, which means are they being manipulated? | ||
| Are they being controlled? | ||
| How unstable are they? | ||
| And how progressivism turns into a cult, so much so that they can't control their emotions, that they feel at risk. | ||
| MAGA is such a change in the United States that it's altering emotions and becoming a phenomenon. | ||
| I pitched the wrong video, but that was the other video I wanted to play here because it's all in the same line. | ||
| It's literally driving them insane. | ||
| Literally. | ||
| They're having psychologists come to Capitol Hill, try to tell people how to regulate their emotions. | ||
| They're cult members. | ||
| They're babies. | ||
| They're mean, vicious, psycho babies, okay? | ||
| Liberal analyst says Democrats are committing political suicide by defending USAID spending. | ||
| And this is the thing. | ||
| Usually they're more sophisticated than this. | ||
| Usually what they would do is they would go, yes, USAID spending. | ||
| That's very bad. | ||
| It's out of control. | ||
| And they would try to hijack it. | ||
| In order to, you know, they'd find something the USAID was doing that was benefiting the right in some way, and they would make that the big story. | ||
| But, like, they're just scrambling, they're flailing, and so they end up defending things that just nobody likes, nobody wants, nobody in America is in favor of our taxpayer dollars being given away by the tens of millions to completely pointless programs overseas that don't help anybody. | ||
| Even the people that they claim to help. | ||
| I'll find that other clip in just a second. | ||
| I swear I thought I downloaded it. | ||
| But long story short, it's everybody in mainstream media saying constitutional crisis. | ||
| It's a constitutional crisis. | ||
| It's absurd. | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| And we don't even need to play the video because you saw it. | ||
| That was it. | ||
| It's just a picture of a thousand people saying constitutional crisis over and over. | ||
| Meanwhile, President Trump fires USAID Inspector General a Biden holdover. | ||
| Paul Martin, the Inspector General of the USAID, was fired on Tuesday, just one day after his office released a report blasting the Trump administration for working to gut the agency, according to CNN. Martin, a Biden holdover, was terminated effective immediately. | ||
| On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I'm writing to you that your position as Inspector General of the United States Agency for International Development is terminated effective immediately. | ||
| Thank you for your service. | ||
| That was the email written to Paul Martin. | ||
| And yeah, this is the classic, just greatest example of like, what would you say it is you do here? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| You're the Inspector General of USAID. And over the last week or so, we found out that just hundreds of billions of dollars are being fittered away to... | ||
| Just anybody and everybody, including dead people and programs that were supposed to stop years ago. | ||
| So that was your job. | ||
| Your job was to make sure that didn't happen. | ||
| So yeah, you're fired now and you should really be arrested because there's absolutely no way that this level of corruption was just an oversight. | ||
| Okay, it was deliberate. | ||
| It was on purpose. | ||
| You're guilty. | ||
| People are guilty. | ||
| They should all be in prison. | ||
| We'll be right back. | ||

| 1-877-789-2539. | ||
| We've taken your calls throughout the show. | ||
| Still have a lot of videos to get to, and let's just continue with the news of some of these cuts that Doge is up to, some of the EOs that have been... | ||

| Oh, man. | ||

|
Okay. | |
| All right. | ||
| We have a lot to talk about. | ||
| We have still very, very much more to talk about. | ||
| First, let's just go to the video. | ||
| I did find it. | ||
| So here's the puppets being tugged along by the string. | ||
| Here's the script that was written for mainstream media. | ||
| Ironically, probably by the deep state. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That is a constitutional crisis. | |
| Causing a constitutional crisis. | ||
| A constitutional crisis. | ||
| This is a genuine constitutional crisis. | ||
| Constitutional crisis. | ||
| What crisis the country has faced. | ||
| Constitutional crisis. | ||
| He's calling it a constitutional crisis. | ||
| Head on into a genuine constitutional crisis. | ||
| Witnessing is a constitutional crisis. | ||
| It's the TikTokers. | ||
| It's the mainstream media. | ||
| It's the members of Congress. | ||
| They're all saying the same thing. | ||
| It's a constitutional crisis. | ||
| Now, I imagine if you get the same response to that as I got asking people what it meant when they said President Elon Musk. | ||
| What is a constitutional crisis? | ||
| Do they even know? | ||
| Do they have any idea what they're even saying? | ||
| Do they even like the Constitution? | ||
| These are the same people that are like, the Constitution is 200 years old. | ||
| It needs an update. | ||
| It's outdated. | ||
| They don't even like the Constitution, so what are they even talking about? | ||
| It's just a talking point. | ||
| It's just a talking point that's gone out. | ||
| And it is essentially utterly meaningless. | ||
| But it confuses and tricks old people into thinking they understand something. | ||
| They don't. | ||
| Now they're... | ||
| There are so many interconnecting loyalties at play here. | ||
| This was just posted by Amuse on X, USAID. The swamp is deep. | ||
| One of the activist judges blocking Trump's agenda, Judge John Bates, is married to the founder of a USAID-funded NGO. Carol Reese is a Democrat lawyer who started Hope for Children in Ethiopia, a longtime USAID grant recipient. | ||
| What a tangled web we weave. | ||
| So, the judge that ordered the president to restore sex change and gender ideology web pages apparently has a wife who has made a fortune off your tax dollars and USAID funding. | ||
| Of course, what the USAID is doing internally, and this is the point, right? | ||
| The real constitutional crisis is the fact that all of these people are controlled by an unelected That's actually a constitutional crisis, that the authority of our government has been handed over to people with no oversight, no ability for the American people to recall or inspect what they're up to. | ||
| And the very same people that are controlling our government and handing our taxpayer dollars out by the hundreds of billions are also controlling the media, which is why you see them all saying constitutional crisis at the same time. | ||
| Like automatons repeat the same talking points coming from the deep state unelected bureaucrats is in fact the constitutional crisis that they're pretending to care about. | ||
| Very interesting. | ||
| It's very ironic in a way. | ||
| And of course, the impeachment was brought about by, essentially coordinated by USAID funding. | ||
| That was the thing that Tim Pool was Ranting about earlier, but of course the international activities of USAID is sort of their main focus as they are an arm of or just the funding mechanism for the CIA. FICO or FICO's letter to Musk slams USAID funding for NGOs. | ||
| So Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has written a letter to Elon Musk complaining about the subsidies and grants the USAID agency has provided to NGOs, media outlets, and specific journalists in Slovakia. | ||
| The Slovak Prime Minister congratulated Musk on his appointment and the decision he's making, saying it is indisputable that financial resources from USAID were used in Slovakia for political purposes with the aim of distorting the political system and favoring certain political parties, Fico wrote on a Facebook post. | ||
| even He continues to say that even from the incomplete public sources, it's clear the USAID agency supported these entities with subsidies amounting to several million dollars over a relatively short period. | ||
| So again, they pretend it's charity. | ||
| They pretend it's human rights. | ||
| They pretend what they're doing is American outreach or somehow supporting American foreign policy when in reality all they're doing is using the American reputation as a smokescreen. | ||
| And American money as a weapon to destroy governments that are standing up for themselves. | ||
| And the governments themselves are aware of it. | ||
| And this is having reverberations all over the world. | ||
| And I really think like what's happening in America, not just the deportations, but the declassification trend and the exposure of what USAID is up to. | ||
| I mean, it's the same playbook that's being played, that's being run all over Europe. | ||
| If we can be successful here, it won't be all that difficult to export. | ||
| It looks like we just had a power outage, but usually the audio stays up. | ||
| Let me know if we went down there. | ||
| It looks like the phone lines are still up, though. | ||
| So the backup systems are working, and now I'm just in a darker and more mysterious setting. | ||
| Have I asked you to go to InfoWarsStore.com yet? | ||
| Do you have any idea how... | ||
| These redundant systems, how complicated these redundant systems are to guarantee that even when we have a total power outage like we just did, we remain on the air and our crucial systems never go offline. | ||
| It takes a lot of money to build up a system like this, I'll have you know. | ||
| And all of it comes from your support at thealexjonesstore.com. | ||
| Some final news here, and we'll get into Europe. | ||
| We'll get into what's happening in Europe, but we keep talking about how USAID is used to fund... | ||
| It's hard to even imagine what it means when you say they started a protest movement and what it takes to start a protest. | ||
| How do you do that? | ||
| If I gave you a million dollars and told you go start a protest movement to overthrow a government, would you have any idea where to even start? | ||
| What you would do with it? | ||
| How you would do it? | ||
| It'd be very difficult. | ||
| Well, it's happening in Germany where they are They've just figured out, they've just discovered that the German government is financing mass demonstrations against AFD and the opposition parties. | ||
| So German government financed mass demonstrations against opposition, news outlet found. | ||
| Germany's left green government has been using taxpayer money to fund the organizations behind a wave of mass protests against the Christian Democratic Union, an alternative for Germany AFD, according to an investigation by news outlet NIUS. After the CDU accepted the support of hard-right AFD in Parliament to get a majority on the vote on immigration, | ||
| the left accused the CDU of tearing down the so-called firewall, the principle of not cooperating with the AFD. The left called for protest, and it turns out several organizations at the forefront of those protests had received substantial financial support from the government itself, | ||
| from the left-wing government, various federal ministries, this according to NIUS. The government using taxpayer funds to fund protest against what the taxpayers voted for. | ||
| It's just all fraud. | ||
| And it's across the world. | ||
| And it's the same playbook used absolutely everywhere in the Western world. | ||
| So if we can expose and eliminate it here, it can provide a blueprint for freeing all of Europe from this despotic and sort of self-fulfilling regulation. | ||
| Where, like, they'll always get what they want because they can always use the funds that they steal. | ||
| To fabricate and manufacture consent for what they're doing. | ||
| Fabricate, support, and manufacture consent. | ||
| When it comes to USAID, it should be no surprise that this is what they're up to overseas. | ||
| That their entire purpose is overthrowing governments. | ||
| That they are an arm of the intelligence agencies, in particular the Central Intelligence Agency. | ||
| And I like how... | ||
| What video were we just watching? | ||
| Is that the Bound Report? | ||
| We were talking about Alan Dulles and John Foster Dulles saying one was in charge of the CIA, one was in charge of the State Department and calling those the secret and the public faces of American foreign policy. | ||
| We've said for years, like, if you want to find out where the corruption is in America, it's the State Department. | ||
| That is the headquarters of the corruption. | ||
| The FBI, the CIA, it's all done through the State Department. | ||
| That's just the public facing. | ||
| All this to say that... | ||
| All of this is being orchestrated and designed by the intelligence agencies. | ||
| If you want to know USAID's role in this, I have two simple facts for you that should illustrate pretty much everything you need to know. | ||
| One of them is that John Bolton was once the head of USAID fund distribution. | ||
| Left the USAID. They gave him a personalized hand grenade as his parting gift. | ||
| Let's go to clip number nine here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I might say I've got some personal experience here. | |
| I was in charge of policy and budget at USAID during the Reagan administration when we undertook a major effort to fix it. | ||
| And I'm going to show you my farewell present from AID. You can see it's a hand grenade. | ||
| And it says on it, John R. Bolton, truest Reaganaut, AID 1983. This is a style of government. | ||
| And that's the way we approached it. | ||
| Well, hang on. | ||
| That's weird. | ||
| Well, wait a second. | ||
| That's very weird, sir. | ||
| Do you not know that? | ||
| So I gave him a hand grenade. | ||
| By the way, it's interesting that this happened in the 80s and that John Bolton was in charge at the time because I sort of only half is a joke. | ||
| Said that USAID is what happens when you stop the CIA from drug running. | ||
| Because you remember, the CIA started drug running operations in Vietnam and then Latin America running drugs into the United States. | ||
| And there were multiple benefits for this. | ||
| But the primary reason they were doing it was to get funds for black budget operations. | ||
| Previously, the CIA would have to go to Congress and say, here's what we want to do, here's who we want to overthrow, here's how we want to do it, and then Congress would control the purse strings and say whether or not they had the funds to carry out the operation they were presenting. | ||
| Well, if you have your own source of income, you don't have to go to Congress for the money. | ||
| It's pretty simple. | ||
| So, it used to be that the CIA would have to be running coke fields in Columbia and flying Cessnas below the radar. | ||
| You know, airdropping crack into South Central LA to make funds. | ||
| Then the Iran-Contra affair came about. | ||
| A lot of it was exposed, what they were doing. | ||
| The Gary Webb, Dark Alliance paper, yeah, exposed a lot of it. | ||
| And so it seems like around that time, they just went, you know, we can still get the funding we need from the American taxpayers. | ||
| We don't have to be running drugs, which I'm sure they still do something, you know, some part of that. | ||
| They're still a part of human trafficking. | ||
| That stuff does still go on. | ||
| But because they got caught doing it, it's like, well, we could run these complicated trafficking organizations where we're flooding America with drugs and laundering the money through European banks. | ||
| Say it's for HIV prevention and the government will just give us the money. | ||
| And then they don't know what we do with it. | ||
| So I do wonder, to a certain degree, whether USAID is just like the replacement for the way the CIA used to get funds, which was by selling drugs to black people in America. | ||
| It's a lot of risk. | ||
| You don't need to go through. | ||
| All you need to do is file an LLC for some fake charity. | ||
| And it turns out you can get billions of dollars from the U.S. government with absolutely no oversight or... | ||
| Need to justify your expenditure. | ||
| So yeah, much easier for them just to do it like that. | ||
| Meanwhile, Trump has announced a new intelligence advisory board and Devin Nunez will serve as the chairman. | ||
| On Tuesday evening, President Trump announced he would create a new intelligence advisory board tasked with advancing his America First agenda. | ||
| The new advisory board will advise Trump on national security issues. | ||
| Truth CEO Devin Nunez will serve as chairman. | ||
| Robert F. Kennedy's daughter-in-law, Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, longtime head of the Global Government Affairs at Blackstone, Wayne Burnman, former Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien, and Katie Miller, who's the wife of Trump's White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, will also join the board. | ||
| Not as super excited about a lot of those names. | ||
| Devin Nunes, of course, broke the FISA gate story wide open after he spearheaded an investigation into the FBI's plot to frame Trump in 2016. And really, Nunes' whole career over the last decade or so has been a lesson for loyalty to Trump because they really sort of destroyed him and got him out of office and tried to keep him off of even getting positions on Fox News as a talking head. | ||
| But he got a job as CEO of Truth Social with Trump, and now he is set to sit at the head of this new Intelligence Advisory Board. | ||
| So, good for him. | ||
| Very good for him. | ||
| I'll go out to your calls in just a second, but I want to present something here to you. | ||
| Let me see if there's any other videos I want to get to before we go. | ||
| Let's do one more video. | ||
| Let's go to clip 12 here, because this sort of relates to everything that we just talked about. | ||
| And the way that not only are these government entities funding protests in their own country, it's all just this fabricated, fake, astroturfed, grassroots scam, the support for liberalism, the support for these causes. | ||
| They're very well and sophisticatedly designed psychological operations from the intelligence agencies funded by USAID with the cooperation of the mainstream media. | ||
| Black Lives Matter just would defund the police. | ||
| All of this crap, the lockdowns, all this crap is being orchestrated. | ||
| And in Germany, it's just been exposed that the government was in fact funding the protest directly against the opposition party. | ||
| Total violation of the supposedly sacred democracy that a million people have died in the last three years in Ukraine to defend. | ||
| It's totally absurd. | ||
| And this is part of the absurdity of it all. | ||
| This is at the WEF, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz commenting on Elon Musk. | ||
| And just, it's the type of phrase, the type of statement that people say. | ||
| And again, just like constitutional crisis or President Elon, if you ask them to explain it, there is no definition behind the words they're using. | ||
| They're just saying things they think justify stuff that is unjustifiable. | ||
| Let's go to Olaf Scholz speaking at the WEF right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
On the question of the dealing of Elon Musk, I had a lot of things to comment in the past because he was discussing a lot about Europe. | |
| And just to repeat what I already said, we have the freedom of speech in Europe and in Germany. | ||
| Everyone can say what he wants, even if he is a billionaire. | ||
| And what we do not accept is if this is supporting extreme right positions. | ||
| And this is what I would like to repeat again. | ||
| That just means nothing. | ||
| Extreme right positions. | ||
| Like what? | ||
| Wanting to limit immigration? | ||
| That extreme right position? | ||
| Extreme right position, it just means nothing. | ||
| It's a placeholder word. | ||
| It means whatever they want it to mean. | ||
| So it makes everything else he said in that statement totally meaningless. | ||
| Nonsensical. | ||
| Of course we have freedom of speech. | ||
| Everybody can say whatever they want. | ||
| Unless I don't want you to. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| So nobody can say anything that you don't want them to. | ||
| That's all that means. | ||
| Oh, extreme right. | ||
| Extreme right. | ||
| The extreme right that was saying COVID came from China. | ||
| The extreme right that was saying Biden's brain didn't work fully. | ||
| The extreme right that just wants... | ||
| Not to go extinct in their own countries by the actions of their own governments. | ||
| When you have caveats to free speech that are totally vague, arbitrary, and subjective, then you don't have free speech at all. | ||
| Or even a little bit. | ||
| Just so we're clear. | ||
| Again, they're financing mass demonstrations against AFD and the Christian Democrat Party in Germany because they got together to vote. | ||
| All right, we'll go out to your calls now. | ||
| I'll save this special report for the first five minutes of the next hour. | ||
| Let's go first to Clown Car in Coney Island. | ||
| Clown Car, actually, you're still talking to our screener. | ||
| I went to him too quickly. | ||
| All right, Clown Car, you're on the air. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||

Chickens produce the eggs, and eggs are four times the amount. | |
| How come the price of chicken hasn't gone up four times? | ||
| And how come Governor Hochul said that every chicken livestock in New York and New Jersey tested positive, but you're allowed to sell off the rest of the livestock? | ||
| Then you've got to close down, disinfect, clean. | ||
| Now what's going to happen here? | ||
| Did they just kill off another 20 million chickens? | ||
| Where the hell are 20 more million chickens coming from? | ||
| Now, if case be that these chickens all have bird flu, are we allowed to eat these things? | ||
| Are they contaminated? | ||
| Really transfer over? | ||
| Even after you hit it at a certain temperature? | ||
| Even after you, you know... | ||
| I don't even know what to say at this point. | ||
| Because if they're going to take away our toilet paper during COVID, they're taking away this chicken and the eggs for a reason right now. | ||
| Is it the Sears? | ||
| Is it the Merc? | ||
| Is it the AlphaGal? | ||
| Is this the time that everybody vaccinated starts to reject the proteins and the meat? | ||
| What's going on, Harrison? | ||
| Talk to me. | ||
| You kind of have me stumped, Clown Car. | ||
| That's a very good question. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The clown! | |
| The clown always keeps upside down. | ||
| And I swear, bro, I'm sitting here and I'm going, I'm looking at the eggs and I'm going, I'm holding a chicken, I'm holding the eggs and I'm like, how come this isn't four times the price? | ||
| What's going on here? | ||
| That's a good question. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know enough about poultry farming to give you an answer, to be honest with you. | ||
| I thought maybe I had a story about this somewhere. | ||
| Let me see if I have a story about this, because that's a very good point. | ||
| I'm not sure why eggs are so expensive if chicken isn't that expensive. | ||
| Maybe all the eggs that we would be buying are instead being used to make new chickens? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The eggs? | |
| What came first, the chicken or the egg? | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| This is beyond the scope of a humble internet show, sir. | ||
| We're getting into philosophical conversations now. | ||
| No, I don't know. | ||
| If the crew can bring up that article again, they just pulled the article that you referenced. | ||
| 20 million birds. | ||
| They say because of bird flu. | ||
| Bird flu kills 20 million chickens. | ||
| I don't think that's true. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, they said they've euthanized them. | |
| And not only that, but they've instructed everyone in New York and everyone in New Jersey who has live poultry, where they sell chickens live, that they have to euthanize all of their chickens, but they're allowed to sell off whatever stock they have left. | ||
| So how does that make sense? | ||
| If you're allowed to sell off the rest of the stock that's tested positive for bird flu, bro. | ||
| Yeah, that does not make a lot of sense to me. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| What I know is that, yeah, bird flu was created in a lab, and obviously all this contributes to the very deliberate destruction of the food supply system in America and throughout the Western world. | ||
| Thank you for the call, Clown Car. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't have any answers for you. | ||
| If egg prices have gone up, why has chicken meat stayed relatively the same? | ||
| It makes no sense. | ||
| That does seem counterintuitive at first. | ||
| It actually makes sense if you break it down. | ||
| The main reason is egg-laying hens and meat chickens broilers are entirely different breeds raised under separate conditions and supply chains. | ||
| Oh, right. | ||
| It's because our supply chain is completely removed from nature. | ||
| That's why, if you want to know. | ||
| The reason is because the food system that we rely on is just an unholy... | ||
| Concoction dreamed up by psychos. | ||
| That might be why. | ||
| It's because factory farming has divorced the chicken breeds from natural reproduction and nothing makes sense ever anymore. | ||
| So maybe that's the answer. | ||
| The egg-laying chickens are different from the meat-eating chickens. | ||
| Chickens that you eat. | ||
| So there you go. | ||
| Thank you, ChatGPT. | ||
| Thank you, Clown Car, for the call. | ||
| Let's go to Sean in California. | ||
| We only have about a minute left in the segment, Sean. | ||
| You're on the air about the mine, the mine shafts full of old files. | ||

Harrison, I just want to be rapid fire with this. | |
| If anyone has a claim for their retirement, it has to be in writing. | ||
| So that's why the government has to retain written documents until we get around that century-old attorney. | ||
| I don't know if you want to call it a maximum of law, but the idea is if it's not in writing, it doesn't exist in the courts, which means you wouldn't be able to challenge for retirement. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah, Clown Car, by the way, made a quick point about the chicken stuff. | ||
| There's recalls right now going on for tuna at Walmart, Trader Joe's, Kroger, Costco. | ||
| Apparently TriUnion Seafoods has a bad batch out there that might not be sealed, and you might get botulism. | ||
| So they're aiming at the prepper community yet again. | ||
| Well, that happens more and more frequently as time goes on. | ||
| And usually it's with vegetables because you've got illegal immigrants pooping in the fields and spreading E. coli and that sort of thing. | ||
| But yeah, look, they can destroy your ability to just survive off the bounty of the earth and you have to rely on them for their mechanized and unnatural production methods. | ||

All right, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | |
| This is the American Journal. | ||
| Third hour is on. | ||
| We've got to hear your phone calls momentarily, but in this first five minutes, I want to present to you a little investigation that my dad did for a long time. | ||
| My dad's a big libertarian, and... | ||
| He would always explain, he'd have this thing where he'd call the beer bottle question, like how much is the cost, you know, if you buy a bottle of beer at a bar, it costs three bucks, how much of that is the result of taxes? | ||
| How much of the three dollars you're paying is the result of taxes? | ||
| Obviously, you're going to pay taxes on the beer itself, right? | ||
| So the total cost of the beer comes to $350. | ||
| You're paying, you know, some of that is taxes, but the person who's selling you the beer had to pay taxes on the beer when they bought it. | ||
| And the people who made the beer had to pay taxes on all of the ingredients that went into it. | ||
| And the people transporting the beer had to pay taxes on the truck that they bought and the licensing fees and everything else that goes into it. | ||
| And obviously the business has to operate and pay property taxes. | ||
| So that goes into the price of the beer so they can make a profit. | ||
| They have to take that into account. | ||
| So it's not just, okay, you pay 8% on a purchase. | ||
| It's like that purchase's price in and of itself is already massively inflated because of the taxes that have been paid the entire way down the supply chain. | ||
| So my dad took to ChatGPT to try to ask it, what is the total summary of the percentage tax burden on full-time working Americans, real-world impact, how much of your money actually goes to taxes? | ||
| And it breaks it down bit by bit. | ||
| The federal income tax on average is around 15%. | ||
| Social Security and Medicare employees contribute 6.2% of their wages, 1.5% to Medicare, totaling 7.65%. | ||
| You've got income taxes, you've got sale taxes, you've got property taxes. | ||
| In 2022, the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development reported that the overall tax burden on a single worker in the U.S. with pre-tax income of $70,000 was around $21,000, amounting to 30% tax, so 30% of your money. | ||
| If you work for an entire year, that means you're working from January 1st until the end of March, basically, for somebody else. | ||
| And then you get to work for yourself. | ||
| You're working for the taxman for three months out of the year. | ||
| Well, four months. | ||
| Well, 30%. | ||
| Third of the year. | ||
| Four months. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| So, the end of April. | ||
| When analyzing the tax burden on American workers, it's essential not just to consider direct taxes, but hidden taxes embedded throughout the supply chain. | ||
| So the direct taxes on income can get up to 30 or 40%, but then the embedded taxes in the goods and services that you pay for, since as we explained with the beer, everything you pay for is taxed and has been taxed over and over again every step of the way throughout the supply chain. | ||
| So that could really get up to around 20 to 40%, meaning that the overall tax burden on your income, the money that you make and spend, is likely up around 60%. | ||
| Total estimated tax at the end. | ||
| So you've got sales tax at the final purchase. | ||
| You've got all of the taxes. | ||
| Because remember, it's like property tax and then payroll taxes, excise taxes, regulatory feeds, tariffs, import duties. | ||
| All of these things are factored into the price you're already paying for the product. | ||
| You pay taxes on top. | ||
| I think you get that. | ||
| And then you have inflation as a hidden tax that accelerates everything even higher. | ||
| But even leaving that to the side. | ||
| Here are the components. | ||
| Direct taxes on income, 30 to 40 percent. | ||
| Taxes embedded in goods and services, 20 to 40 percent. | ||
| Sales tax on final purchases, 0 to 10 percent. | ||
| And then the inflation impact is variable and often underestimated. | ||
| Final estimate. | ||
| When considering all taxes and inflation, the real-world tax burden on an average full-time American worker can range from 50 to 70 percent of gross income. | ||
| Just know when we're talking about these hundreds of billions of dollars being handed out to God knows who to do God knows what with. | ||
| We're talking about at least half of your money going towards funding that. | ||
| At least half of your money, likely more like three-fourths of your money or 70% of your income is stolen directly from you by the government, who is, through a few series of, you know, a couple degrees of separation, holding a gun to your head to get it. | ||
| Yeah, you don't have a choice to pay taxes. | ||
| Throw you in a concrete box if you don't. | ||
| So they're robbing you for half of the money you make, at least. | ||
| And that's the average American. | ||
| That's not the higher end that pay the big chunk of taxes. | ||
| That is a $70,000 income level is paying 50-70% of their money in taxes when it's all added up. | ||
| You wonder why we're so broke. | ||
| Alright, welcome back. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, third hour of American Journal is on. | ||
| I'm getting comments from people on X defending Elon bringing his kid to everything basically because their assumption is that it's because he basically lost a kid to the LGBT indoctrination. | ||
| One of his sons now calls himself his daughter. | ||
| And so, you know, he takes it personally. | ||
| Which I think fits. | ||
| I guess that fits. | ||
| You say this person from an objective indulgence says he took it personal. | ||
| It's all part of his personal red pilling and led to putting skin in the game to get Trump 47 elected while proposing Doge during the campaign. | ||
| So, yeah, there may be something to that. | ||
| It's still sort of the kid as a symbol, but in a positive way. | ||
| It's not bad. | ||
| Not a bad interpretation. | ||
| We're going to go out to your phone calls momentarily. | ||
| But I want to go to a video because we're keeping an eye on Twitter, on OnX, and just on the news feeds. | ||
| Because Lee Zeldin, the new head of EPA, posted this yesterday. | ||
| He reposted a video from Project Veritas, the one that we've played a few times where they're talking about throwing gold bars off the Titanic, saying, yeah, basically we're trying to fund as much stuff as possible before Trump gets into office. | ||
| And he posted this video saying, huge news. | ||
| Our awesome team at EPA just located billions of dollars worth of gold bars that the Biden admin, quote, threw off the Titanic. | ||
| Big update coming tomorrow. | ||
| So today, that big update should be coming. | ||
| And we're eager to hear what they've discovered. | ||
| In the meantime, we'll watch at least a portion of this video from Project Veritas that came out late last year of Brent Efren, an employee at the EPA, being caught on hidden camera. | ||
| Talking about how they were just doing a big giveaway of hundreds of billions of dollars because of how bad Trump is. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now it's just time to get the money out as fast as possible before they come in and pop them out. | |
| It truly feels like we're on a titanic and we're throwing gold bars off the top hat. | ||
| Who are the gold bars going to? | ||
| Popfits, states, tribes. | ||
| We gave them the money because it was harder. | ||
| If it was a government-run program, they could take the money away. | ||
| If Trump won, because it was an external policy against Trump winning. | ||
| It's until the Trump people come in and tell us we can't longer give our money. | ||
| I do environmental, climate policy things. | ||
| Really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's amazing. | ||
| That stuff is here? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, because I do, like, federal government climate things. | |
| Well, I have been doing this. | ||
| That might change, but... | ||
| Why? | ||
| So, look at the EPA. Small law is going to change. | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| So, I do, you know, the Inflation Reduction Act? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Okay, Biden's climate law? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So... | ||
| I do entire implementations. | ||
| I work with, like, Biden appointees. | ||
| The money that we've given out, we've given out, like, tens of billions of dollars. | ||
| The EPA has? | ||
| Last year of last year, we've given out, like, $50 billion. | ||
| $50 million? | ||
| Billion. | ||
| Billion would be. | ||
| $50 billion. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| For time and things. | ||
| So, like, to go work for one of these places, I think we've given them a lot. | ||
| What are the places that you've given them to? | ||
| It's only been a few weeks, so it's a little hard. | ||
| Like, green banks. | ||
| So, like, non-profit institutions that are, like, making it more financially feasible to build renewables to do, like, climate projects. | ||
| I do implementation now. | ||
| So, I do, like, how do you spend $100 billion? | ||
| How do you make sure that, like, they're the prop? | ||
| until recently, how do you make sure the proper like, costas and parts in place to prevent fraud and prevent abuse and like, ensure that like, we are funding like, good paying jobs. | ||
| And that's where it's about. | ||
| Now it's just time to get the money out as fast as possible before they come in and like, pop it up. | ||
| You can do that? | ||
| Really? | ||
| Why not? | ||
| Basically, that's what it all is now. | ||
| It truly feels like we're on the Titanic and we're throwing like gold cards off the top. | ||
| Alright, so we're getting into the EPA. Just admitting everything. | ||
| That we've done the whole time, but it's great to see them on camera doing it. | ||
| Again, Lee Zeldin has said that they found the billions. | ||
| I guess we're going to claw it back. | ||
| Again, it's not like, you know, that's the thing about how the Democrats are responding to USAID. None of it's a surprise to them. | ||
| They're the ones doing it, okay? | ||
| If you want to know why the Democrats are flailing and struggling to figure out how exactly to confront the topic of USAID, it's because they're criminals that got caught. | ||
| And when you picture it that way, it makes perfect sense. | ||
| They can't justify it. | ||
| They're just trying to call you bad names for catching them, basically, and playing the victim. | ||
| Again, just the amount of money that we're talking about. | ||
| Hundreds of billions of dollars. | ||
| Just hand it away. | ||
| And again, you just think about what it would take for you or me to earn a billion dollars in our lifetime. | ||
| And it's like we'd have to invent the next iPod. | ||
| We'd have to create some whole new industry. | ||
| A billion dollar industry. | ||
| That's like a major industry. | ||
| These people just give it away. | ||
| They're just writing blank checks with your checkbook. | ||
| That's why you're paying 70% of your money to them. | ||
| Pretty crazy. | ||
| As a final note on the economy before we go out to phone calls, Politico has this story. | ||
| Voters were right about the economy. | ||
| The data was wrong. | ||
| The data was wrong? | ||
| What does that even mean? | ||
| What do you mean the data was wrong? | ||
| You know, it was lies? | ||
| How was the data wrong? | ||
| You mean you were lying about it? | ||
| It's just something about the way this is phrased. | ||
| The data was wrong. | ||
| No, you're liars. | ||
| No, you were lying and gaslighting everybody and telling everybody that the economy was great even though everybody could see in their own lives that it was bad. | ||
| And it's one of those things that sort of goes back to what Clown Car called in about, the chicken and the egg thing. | ||
| Isn't it amazing that they suddenly care about and notice the economy is trash? | ||
| Even though we've been saying it forever. | ||
| Before the presidential election, many Democrats were puzzled by the seeming disconnect between economic reality, as reflected in various government statistics, and the public's perceptions of the economy on the ground. | ||
| Well, they were baffled. | ||
| They were absolutely baffled by this. | ||
| Well, one of them was a lie. | ||
| Does that clear it up for you? | ||
| One of them was real and people's personal observation, and the other was a coordinated lie from the criminals. | ||
| Does that clarify why there's this disconnect? | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| Something about the language they use triggers me. | ||
| Many in Washington bristled at the public's failure to register how strong the economy really was. | ||
| They charged that right-wing echo chambers were conning voters into believing entirely preposterous narratives about America's decline. | ||
| You know, it's like the video that we showed earlier of Sage Steele talking about Democrats just failing to respond to the needs of the voters. | ||
| And just failing to accurately portray reality that people are experiencing. | ||
| In this article, they aren't even like really admitting that it was all a lie. | ||
| I really don't even know what to do with these people anymore. | ||
| How many lies of theirs have been exposed in the last year? | ||
| Just not in a way that can be explained or waved away or said, oh, it was a misinterpretation or it was true in this angle. | ||
| It's like Joe Biden is mental incompetent. | ||
| Then they lie to you about that for four years straight until he has to do a live debate with Donald Trump and suddenly everybody recognizes it. | ||
| Somehow they never take the next step and go, well, who was lying to me about this? | ||
| Why were they lying to me about it? | ||
| Why did I believe it? | ||
| And why is it that the right-wingers are right about literally everything? | ||
| They spent the whole year lying to you about the economy in the most flagrant way you can ever imagine. | ||
| You should be insulted by them telling you to ignore the evidence of your own eyes and your own checkbook and the receipts from a year ago when everything was half as much as it is today. | ||
| What they rarely considered, the article goes on to say, was whether something else might be responsible for the disconnect. | ||
| Whether, for instance, government statistics were fundamentally flawed. | ||
| What if the numbers supporting the case for broad-based prosperity were themselves misrepresentations? | ||
| What if, in fact, darker assessments of the economy were more authentically tethered to reality? | ||
| Oh, what if? | ||
| What if they're flawed, you guys? | ||
| No, you're just liars. | ||
| You're just relentless liars. | ||
| and then when they're caught lying they approach it like it's some sort of riddle they have to figure out I mean they live in a dream world They live in a fantasy world where just absolutely nothing is real. | ||
| And they spend 90% of their time Calling us crazy, saying we're involved in conspiracy theorizing, saying that we are getting talking points, that everything we ever support, every policy we ever propose, is really some hidden agenda, ulterior motive. | ||
| It's actually racist. | ||
| It's actually that they just want people to be poor. | ||
| It's like, literally all we do is observe reality and present you reality. | ||
| Like, that's all. | ||
| People go on TikTok and go, hey, I found a receipt from a year ago. | ||
| Here's exactly the same items. | ||
| It's twice as much this year as it was last year. | ||
| And then they come along and show you a bunch of government charts going, actually, the stock market is higher than it ever has been. | ||
| So you're an idiot and a retard and a conspiracy theorist. | ||
| They're just lying. | ||
| They're just liars. | ||
| They just lie and lie and lie and lie and lie. | ||
| Which would be fine if people didn't believe them. | ||
| The real problem is that Americans keep getting lied to, keep reading articles about how they were lied to for a year, and coming to the conclusion that they're still correct, that the right-wingers are still crazy, and that it was just a flaw in the data that nobody knew. | ||
| And we all tried our best, but just all of us lied all the time by accident. | ||
| And it's just like, come on. | ||
| Come on! | ||
| This is another, like this... | ||
| I didn't even read the article. | ||
| It's just the headline I care about here. | ||
| Commentary. | ||
| Trump fanned inflation fears. | ||
| Now they haunt his presidency. | ||
| Fanned inflation fears. | ||
| Now they haunt his presidency. | ||
| I want to go to call so I won't break this down to the level that I could. | ||
| But I could spend an hour on every word in this sentence. | ||
| In these two sentences. | ||
| The insinuation that inflation didn't exist, that it was just some fear that people had, that Trump was fanning it, obviously insinuating he had some ulterior motive, not that he cared about inflation actually going up, because apparently inflation wasn't going up, except that the data was flawed. | ||
| I mean, it's just, they fanned inflation fears. | ||
| Now they haunt his presidency. | ||
| So now they're admitting there is inflation. | ||
| Now that Trump is president, they're going to say there is inflation. | ||
| And even though he's only been president for a month, They're trying to portray this as if it's like looming over his presidency, it's haunting his presidency, really. | ||
| So what really happened here is that Democrats lied to you relentlessly about the economy. | ||
| Donald Trump told the truth about the economy, told the truth about inflation, actually cared about the fact that regular Americans were being taken to the cleaners from just buying regular staple food products. | ||
| Something that, you know, the inflation does not affect the rich, the wealthy, the super elite, nearly to the degree that affects the average person who's... | ||
| Most of their money goes towards basic necessities. | ||
| He actually cared about that. | ||
| He actually pointed it out, said he had a plan for it. | ||
| They lied to you relentlessly about it, gaslit you, saying don't believe your own eyes. | ||
| Now that Trump is president, they're just admitting that they were lying to you, but still portraying it as if Donald Trump was fear-mongering about something that didn't exist, even though now they admit that it exists because it hurts Trump for them. | ||
| The whole time we've been consistent. | ||
| Inflation is really... | ||
| Damn high. | ||
| Like, on purpose. | ||
| Purposefully instigated the whole inflation scenario by design. | ||
| They wrote articles about it. | ||
| How do we increase inflation? | ||
| Here's how we do it. | ||
| Then they did it. | ||
| Then it increased. | ||
| It's bad. | ||
| It should stop. | ||
| It's hurting the American people. | ||
| And we should pay attention to it. | ||
| And that's still our position now. | ||
| And we'll still tell you, the economy's not going to be fixed in a month. | ||
| And it's probably going to get worse before it gets better. | ||
| Can America just do us a favor and just listen to the people that don't lie to you for once? | ||
| Just stop listening to the liars and start listening to the people who have evidence for our claims. | ||
| Please, please, please, please, please, for the love of God, we're trying to save a country here. | ||
| For you, it's for you. | ||
| It's all for you. | ||
| Let's go out to your calls now. | ||
| Stephen in Florida has called in talking about what's happening with our government now under Doge, Elon, and Trump. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| Stephen, you're on the air. | ||
| Hey, good morning. | ||
| Good morning. | ||
| Here's what I wanted to say. | ||
| You know, I was thinking about this situation with USAID. Now, I want you to follow this, okay? | ||
| Let me get somewhere with all the fraud that's been in our government that Trump is now dealing with. | ||
| Okay, so you go back in the history of this country. | ||
| 1776, the Declaration of Independence. | ||
| Was it 1787? | ||
| We had the Constitution of the United States. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We had that. | |
| But then you go forward, and I looked this up. | ||
| There's a website you can go to called youhavetheright.com. | ||
| And in that, it shows the background for the creation of the United States Corporation, known as the United States of America, under the U.S.-United States Reorganization Act of 1871. This has become well known. | ||
| And so what I say is this, with that in mind, and we had the District of Columbia, or as we'd like to call it, the District of Corruption. | ||
| It's a corporation. | ||
| It's a foreign-run entity. | ||
| So here's the thing. | ||
| Look at USAID. Not as USAID, but as USAID, this is our identity. | ||
| With all the criminality, you know, it's a CIA front organization, but it's a lot deeper than that. | ||
| It's a bank's organization. | ||
| Foreign banks, you know, the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, etc., have been running things for a long time. | ||
| And, of course, back in 1776, their counter for the American Revolution was Adam Weishaupt and the Illuminati, same year. | ||
| All right, so what I'm getting at is this. | ||
| These people are so guilty of the corruption because they identify as a corporation. | ||
| They are not American. | ||
| Their only allegiance is to themselves and their God. | ||
| Satan. | ||
| That's the corporation. | ||
| That makes sense, especially when you know the language that they use and some of the code words we always point out, like stakeholder. | ||
| That's their favorite word these days. | ||
| All the stakeholders, and they're talking about the government or they're talking about any corporate entity or any organization at all. | ||
| They use the term stakeholders. | ||
| And that is a good way to think about it. | ||
| You ask why they don't care about the American people. | ||
| It's like, well, why don't corporations care about... | ||
| Their workers, like, all that matters is that they get the returns to their investors, the people that, you know, on the board of directors get their cut of the profits and maximize those. | ||
| Everything downstream from that is not within their kin. | ||
| They literally don't care about it. | ||
| Very good way of thinking about that, Stephen. | ||
| I'm sorry, I do want to go to another call here. | ||
| I talked for a while. | ||
| Let's go to Jefferson in Virginia now, on line number eight. | ||
| I'm going to talk about... | ||
| This in the next segment, but Anna Paulina Luna, Task Force for Declassification. | ||
| What do you think is going to happen with this, Jefferson? | ||
| Hey, good morning, Harrison. | ||
| Thanks for taking my call. | ||
| No problem. | ||
| Yeah, I just think somehow this is going to slow things down again, like there's going to be an ongoing investigation and there's going to be fights over getting the documents and things like that. | ||
| But it's like window dressing. | ||
| She's a pretty face and she wants to be in public talking about how the government's stonewalling her and all this sort of stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But it's just amazing to me. | |
| I was telling the call screener, you know, the FBI just announced that they have 2,500 files that nobody knew about. | ||
| Right. | ||
| For the last 60 years. | ||
| I'm going, well, how do you create a record and nobody knows about it? | ||
| That doesn't make any sense. | ||
| What they're saying is there are people that are sworn to secrecy in our government, like 88,000 of them, that know about these files that are now suddenly been found by the FBI. Thankfully, somebody's trying to push these out into the public. | ||
| But it's just amazing that for 60 years now we've been, you know, dragging our feet on letting the public know this. | ||
| This was all supposed to be, you know. | ||
| Released, what, years ago? | ||
| And they've just been finding every excuse under the sun to just withhold acknowledging that our own CIA was deeply involved in killing Kennedy because he was doing things that the establishment didn't want him to do. | ||
| And it's just amazing that we're protecting ourselves or the deep state is protecting itself this long in getting away with it. | ||
| And it's maddening. | ||
| And, you know, there's one thing that should be declassified as soon as possible. | ||
| It should be the Sandy Hook. | ||
| Department of Homeland Security emergency exercise hoax that was the Sandy Hook. | ||
| That would change things dramatically. | ||
| Half the females in this country got hoodwinked by the whole maternal instinct to defend the shooting at the school and thinking it was real and how it affected them emotionally. | ||
| And they just can't let go of it. | ||
| But if it was revealed that they all got spoofed and fooled by Sandy Hook, that would make them angry that their maternal instincts were used against them. | ||
| And that would make a sea change in terms of support for Trump and reality. | ||
| But then the government would get sued for a billion dollars and it would have to go down. | ||
| Disavow. | ||
| I disavow Jefferson's statements because I have to because free speech and all. | ||
| But no, that's actually interesting and that is something that I'll bring up with when we talk about Anna Paulina Luna in the next segment because I wasn't thinking Sandy Hook but certainly like The Oklahoma City bombing, the Waco, and Ruby Ridge. | ||
| I mean, there's more declassifications that I would like to see beyond just JFK, RFK, MLK, and some others. | ||
| So yeah, I think this needs to be just the beginning of declassification. | ||
| And I agree, there's no point to a task force. | ||
| And I would actually be more in favor of it if it was somebody like Rand Paul or Thomas Massey, somebody that... | ||
| That we know we can pretty much trust. | ||
| I don't know that much about Anna Paulina Luna. | ||
| She hasn't been around long enough to really test her. | ||
| I agree it looks like a publicity stunt. | ||
| And full disclosure, I reached out to her on X and asked if she wanted to come on the show and explain it. | ||
| So I would like to put that question to her. | ||
| So if you want a little participatory activity, homework, go tag Anna Paulina Luna. | ||
| And tell her to come on Infowars, come on American Journal and explain what it is exactly her task force is going to be involved in. | ||
| Because as far as I can tell, and look, but I don't want to be too cynical because on the other hand, if it's a task force whose role is to just like have total oversight and just make sure that everything that's supposed to be published is being published, you know, I wouldn't be against that. | ||
| There should be somebody other than the FBI making sure that they're actually adhering to the disclosure orders. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Otherwise, if all the files are secret and they go, yep, this is all of them, how are you supposed to know which ones you don't have yet? | ||
| If that's what she's doing, then I'm fine with it, even though I'm still a little suspicious and almost need oversight on top of the oversight on top of the oversight. | ||
| I don't really trust her all that much. | ||
| The other possibility would be packaging it in a way that's more easily consumed by American people. | ||
| The government doesn't need to do that. | ||
| I'm trying to think. | ||
| There's an example of this that I just can't think of right now, but there's something else where they were disclosing it. | ||
| Maybe the Twitter papers, the Twitter files. | ||
| When that was coming out, it was like, just release it. | ||
| Just release the files. | ||
| You don't need to... | ||
| But it turns out what they did was give it to Michael Schellenberger, and he sort of packaged it and came out with reports and articles that made sense of all of the data. | ||
| So if that's what they're doing, I'm not totally against it. | ||
| But at the end of the day, declassification means declassification. | ||
| Just give us all the documents. | ||
| Give it to the public. | ||
| The media will go through it and tell people what it says. | ||
| We do not need a congressional task force to do this. | ||
| They will only interfere. | ||
| Welcome back to the final segment of the American Journal for today's broadcast. | ||
| I want to go to some clips of Anna Paulina Luna talking about her new task force on declassification. | ||
| I don't like this. | ||
| I don't like it. | ||
| I don't think it's necessary. | ||
| I am suspicious of it as it is unnecessary. | ||
| In other words, if there's not an obvious reason why they're doing something, there's probably a secret reason why they're doing something. | ||
| Let's go to clip number 11 here. | ||
| This is Representative Anna Paulina Luna announcing the creation of a task force on the declassification of secret files. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
| For too long, the American spirit has been dimmed by a veil of secrecy by a government that has grown too comfortable in the shadows. | ||
| Denying us the transparency we deserve. | ||
| But today, we stand at the dawn of a new era where the light of truth begins to shine through. | ||
| It is with profound honor that I have been entrusted by Speaker Mike Johnson and Chairman James Comer to lead the House Oversight Task Force on Declassification of Federal Secrets. | ||
| Together with the help of the White House, our intelligence allies, the Department of Defense, the Department of Justice, we will be conducting investigations into the following. | ||
| The assassinations of JFK, RFK, and Dr. Martin Luther King, unidentified aerial phenomena, also known as UAPs, unidentified submerged objects, also known as USOs, the Epstein client list, the origins of COVID-19, and the 9-11 files. | ||
| This task force will be a beacon of bipartisanship. | ||
| So again, what is the purpose of the task force, though? | ||
| They're going to do investigations into what? | ||
| Declassification just means you're just publishing the documents that have previously been secret. | ||
| You don't need to investigate anything. | ||
| We don't need the government having a hand in this. | ||
| I thought this response from ex-user Brad Miller at BradMiller1010 is good. | ||
| He asked, how do people not see what's happening? | ||
| This is controlled, limited disclosure. | ||
| It's meant to further create the illusion that the, quote, good guys are now in charge and are exposing the bad guys and cutting them off. | ||
| This is merely an engineered changing of the guard. | ||
| Behind the scenes, the true players are all the same. | ||
| Certain maneuvers will be presented to us as if they represent victories for the good guys, but in reality, it will just usher in the next phase of the control plan slash grid. | ||
| Again, I don't know why else they would be doing this. | ||
| I don't know what else the purpose of the task force would be other than limiting disclosure in some way. | ||
| It's not like you can improve disclosure. | ||
| Beyond disclosure, once it's disclosed, once the declassification happens and the files are published, you can't publish them again. | ||
| There's just no reason behind any of this. | ||
| Now, what they're actually planning on declassifying is very interesting. | ||
| I personally think that the UAP, UFO stuff is a bit of distraction. | ||
| It doesn't really fall into the category of the other stuff. | ||
| The other stuff were just like historical events having to do with major political figures where they know more than they've told us. | ||
| UFOs, on the other hand, is just a total smorgasbord of nonsense and frauds and hoaxes and reality and secret technology. | ||
| It's just a little messy and it's just not like the other ones. | ||
| So I don't even know why that one's included in the rest of them. | ||
| But here's her answer to the question about what exactly they would be... | ||
| Investigating and what they would be investigating first, clip number 10. Here's, again, Representative Luna. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Epstein 9-11? | |
| Our first investigation will be announced, but it's going to be covering on a thorough investigation into the John F. Kennedy assassination. | ||
| And I can tell you, based on what I've been seeing so far, the initial hearing that was actually held here in Congress was actually faulty in the single bullet theory. | ||
| I believe that there were two shooters. | ||
| And we should be finding more information as we are able to gain access into the SCIF, hopefully before the files are actually released to the public. | ||
| So just again, I don't know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It doesn't seem necessary to me. | ||
| It doesn't seem good necessarily. | ||
| And of course, a lot of people are pointing to the fact that Anna Paulina Luna is a very diehard pro-Israel politician as being perhaps troublesome for her having any authority as to what gets released and what doesn't because JFK, Epstein, 9-11, I mean all of these. | ||
| Have very high levels of Israeli involvement, which is why we've always said, amongst other reasons, obviously the deep state doesn't want this to be released because it would just crush all faith in the spy agencies forever, right, to learn that they killed JFK or whatever. | ||
| But the reason you don't declassify things is people are either still alive who are involved or because it would interrupt our alliances. | ||
| It would interrupt its, we have to keep it secret for our national security because otherwise... | ||
| Our international partners could be, you know, at risk or driven away. | ||
| So, obviously Epstein was an Israeli agent. | ||
| 9-11, tons of Israeli spies were arrested right around that time. | ||
| The dancing Israelis, Mossad agents who were pre-positioned before the attacks happened. | ||
| The Israeli art students had set up explosives inside the building in the exact area where the planes hit. | ||
| E-Team, it's called. | ||
| Lots of interactions there. | ||
| Same thing with JFK. Anybody who's looked into it seriously. | ||
| There's a lot of forces that wanted JFK gone. | ||
| Probably preeminent among those would be Israel over the Damona nuclear facilities as well as making AIPAC register as a foreign agent, which would have prevented their domination of the political system for the last 50 years. | ||
| So it is a little suspicious. | ||
| So it's not the type of information that you'd want somebody with a vested interest in protecting Israel to have oversight over. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| I get people, everybody gets mad when I talk about Israel, but that's the connecting line here. | ||
| It's a very important thing to consider when talking about all this stuff. | ||
| It's not just something random to throw in. | ||
| Why is she being put in any sort of position to either facilitate or prevent the release of anything? | ||
| It just shouldn't exist. | ||
| She should not have a task force. | ||
| The task force shouldn't exist. | ||
| And it should be put out. | ||
| All the files public for us all to go through and come to our own conclusions and do our own investigations. | ||
| So there you go. | ||
| So that's my take on that. | ||
| It is suspicious as it is unnecessary. | ||
| And that's largely the extent of my reasoning. | ||
| Now I want to go to one more clip before we go out to... | ||
| Oh no, actually, oh my god. | ||
| I still have so much to cover. | ||
| Jeez, I'm pizza. | ||
| Let's go to these other videos, because I should have covered this story earlier, and it's a major one. | ||
| It is an absolute major one. | ||
| It really illuminates the real reasons why the judicial activism is attempting to throw a wrench in Trump's agenda right now. | ||
| Obviously, we all come to the same conclusion. | ||
| It's so funny, because it's just... | ||
| By the time I leave here... | ||
| I almost never run into Owen Troyer. | ||
| His show is four hours later than mine. | ||
| We don't really cross paths that much. | ||
| And yet we always come to the same conclusions on things. | ||
| It's like we don't even need to like, what do you think about this? | ||
| You think, okay, that's cool. | ||
| Okay, we'll do that. | ||
| It's just like I watch Owen's show and I'm like, yep, yep, yep. | ||
| We're all the same conclusion in the same way that, you know, I'm talking about activist judges. | ||
| Now everybody's an activist. | ||
| The teachers are activists. | ||
| Coaches are activists. | ||
| The congresspeople are activists. | ||
| The judges are activists. | ||
| Everybody who's on the left, you put them in a position, that becomes the left's position. | ||
| It becomes like whatever role you grant them, whatever authority you give to them, they're not concerned about fulfilling the obligations of that role. | ||
| They see it as license to use that role to achieve their larger societal goals, which is total destruction and replacement of America with a communistic technocracy. | ||
| Everybody who's paying attention knows that this is the case. | ||
| But we have some real powerful evidence of that now, and I want to go to it. | ||
| The Gateway Pundit has a story. | ||
| Judge who blocked Trump's spending freeze, called him a tyrant, decries racism as a white people problem, and advocates packing his court with people of color because it's too white. | ||
| All of this resurfaced in 2021 footage. | ||
| We got three clips of this guy just exposing what his real motives are. | ||
| For making the decisions that he's making. | ||
| It has nothing to do with law and order. | ||
| It has nothing to do with the Constitution. | ||
| It's about him being a far leftist activist. | ||
| But he wears robes. | ||
| But he wears big black robes. | ||
| So now he gets to impose his own personal ideology on the rest of America under the guise of judicial review. | ||
| When in reality it's just interference from the opposition. | ||
| So let's go to the first of these clips. | ||
| I believe this is the male privilege one he's talking about. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Government actions, when you're sentencing someone, when we talk about sentencing, that you have to take a moment and realize that this middle-class, white, male, privileged person needs to understand the human being that comes before us, that maybe a woman, it may be Black, it may be transgender, it may be poor, it may be rich, it may be whatever, may have experiences that aren't yours, and you have to... | |
| You have to walk in their shoes and understand that the law applies to them where they are, and then you have to apply the law accordingly. | ||
| So... | ||
| As a white male... | ||
| I'll tell you right now, you are not a white male, sir. | ||
| As a white male myself, I reject your inclusion in my people group. | ||
| It's mostly your voice. | ||
| What is up with that voice? | ||
| Not to make a lot of it. | ||
| I mean... | ||
| We know what that really means. | ||
| We know what he's really saying. | ||
| Think about the prosecutor that went after Daniel Penny and tried to send him to jail for life for defending himself in a car full of subway riders from an insane, violent criminal. | ||
| You remember, we showed you videos of her talking about, well, you know, I really had to think about the lived experiences of the black guy that murdered an Asian guy for $80. | ||
| Or murdered an 80-year-old Asian dude for the money that he got out of an ATM. And I realized, you know, he had to. | ||
| He was forced to. | ||
| His life circumstances drove him to that. | ||
| And that's not his fault. | ||
| So he made a mistake. | ||
| He did an oopsie. | ||
| And he killed a guy. | ||
| Okay, is that so bad? | ||
| That's why I dropped those charges. | ||
| Because I'm so caring and loving. | ||
| And I understand I have privilege that he doesn't. | ||
| So that's the mindset that we're dealing with here. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| They wouldn't have to say any of that crap if they actually believed it, right? | ||
| If you ask me about this, I'd say the law applies to everybody equally. | ||
| It doesn't matter who you are. | ||
| It doesn't matter where you come from. | ||
| They have the exact opposite, where they're like, you have to see the person's identity, who they are, how they grew up, what their life circumstances. | ||
| Like, no, you don't. | ||
| The law is the law. | ||
| Did they do the crime? | ||
| Send them to jail. | ||
| It's really not common. | ||
| So when you get this activist mindset in these people... | ||
| I think they really think they're being good people. | ||
| They think that this is like enlightenment and progressivism. | ||
| The reality is they're just corrupt. | ||
| They're just corrupted. | ||
| Gay. | ||
| Let's go back to the next clip now. | ||
| Here's the next clip from this completely brainwashed leftist judge who maybe didn't realize that he should have been more circumspect about how much he hated Trump previously. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, you know, what's happened over the last four years or so, and at other times in our country's history, you know, going back to, you know, the Civil War and Reconstruction and Jim Crow laws, the civil rights, and during the last four years, is that the values that we live by, the constitutional values that form the basis of our country, have been tested. | |
| And our institutions have been tested in ways that I don't think a lot of folks thought would survive. | ||
| It got tested in the 1800s by a war. | ||
| And we survived the war. | ||
| Sometimes well and sometimes not so well, but that's for another story. | ||
| So what we saw the last four years, in my mind, was a new testing of it. | ||
| And how I think about it is, it's like a balloon, you know, and you're blowing up a balloon and you keep pushing that air in. | ||
| Well, at some point, the balloon's going to pop, right? | ||
| And it feels like over the last four years, with the challenges that have occurred to the rule of law in this country, that... | ||
| We came very close to that balloon popping. | ||
| So that's the judge that put a freeze on the Doge operation that Trump and Elon Musk is carrying out, basically comparing Donald Trump's election to the Civil War and saying that his mere existence was like an existential threat for the United States. | ||
| Totally insane. | ||
| Here's the final clip of this judge. | ||
| Again, this is what we're fighting against. | ||
| These entrenched liberal activists with authority in our government making decisions on the basis of their own ideology completely devoid of even justification, even seeming justification under rule of law. | ||
| He doesn't even provide the statutes that he's relying on to reverse some of these decisions. | ||
| He just doesn't like it. | ||
| He just thinks he can, so he is. | ||
| So it's just, you know, this is what you get when you get leftist activists in positions of authority. | ||
| Every single time. | ||
| Let's go to the third video now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Where courts stand and enforce the rule of law that is against arbitrary and capricious actions by what could be a tyrant or what not. | |
| We saw plenty of examples of that recently. | ||
| And it enforces our values. | ||
| Our values, in a legal sense, are the Constitution. | ||
| And it's that... | ||
| It's that reason that, and we saw, and there are plenty of examples of history, and there's plenty of examples over the last four years. | ||
| Yeah, so he thinks Trump's a tyrant, and he's standing up against him. | ||
| Racism is a white people problem. | ||
| Long story short, dude is a totally captured leftist plant, and he's interrupting the agenda of the president that we all voted for because he's deep-stayed, because he thinks his... | ||
| A particular progressive agenda overrides the will of the American people. | ||
| Now with that, I have some breaking news here. | ||
| Tulsi Gabbard has been confirmed as Trump's Director of National Intelligence in a powerful blow to the deep state. | ||
| The vote has been counted and she has the vote. | ||
| Appears there were no Republican defections while no Democrats supported her. | ||
| The vote remains ongoing, but she does have enough. | ||
| Gabbard was perhaps the Trump nominee with the biggest question mark due to her long-held opposition to foreign wars and advocacy against intelligence agencies spying on the American people. | ||
| At various points, RINO senators such as Susan Collins of Maine, John Curtis of Utah, and Todd Young of Indiana all expressed concerns about her views and ability to serve America. | ||
| However, they all eventually fell into line, and of course this is thanks to the pressure put on these people by us, by you, by their constituents, saying, do this or you're out. | ||
| Because we want Tulsi Gabbard. | ||
| We want the Trump agenda. | ||
| You can either get in line and help us, or you can end your career, and you can die on this hill. | ||
| So good thing they listened. | ||
| But something else exciting is happening. | ||
| RFK Jr. is totally tied in votes. | ||
| And J.D. Vance is actually going to have to come back from Paris, where he currently is at an AI summit, to cast the tie-breaking vote as president of the Senate, as vice president. | ||
| So, Tulsi Gabbard confirmed, RFK Jr., deadlock, 50-50 vote, J.D. Vance is going to have to cast that final vote, meaning that he will be confirmed, right? | ||
| I mean, he's not confirmed yet, but barring some disaster, knock on wood, J.D. Vance returns into, I don't know why he couldn't vote remotely, but I guess he's on his way back from Paris to cast that vote, meaning that basically, Kash Patel is sort of the last remaining confirmation that we're looking for. | ||
| Tulsi Gabbard confirmed, RFK Jr., dead heat, but will soon be confirmed. | ||
| And the Donald Trump agenda continues at a pace. | ||
| Very brilliant to see. | ||
| And again, thanks to the Republicans for just being reasonable for once. | ||
| My God, is it really that hard? | ||
| Just do what your constituents want? | ||
| You scum. | ||
| You rats. | ||
| I guess I shouldn't say that anymore if they're going along with it. | ||
| I mean, you great people. | ||
| You statesmen. | ||
| But again, it's not because they want to. | ||
| It's not because they actually like her. | ||
| It's because they're egotistical and they don't want to lose their position and they know they will if they don't conform to the desires of the American people, which is to do what Trump wants them to do and appoint people Trump wants them to appoint. | ||
| Again, just another Bizarre situation where you've got, at this point, two former Democrats, who were Democrat as of last year for RFK, the year before for Tulsi Gabbard, and Republicans, the Republicans' constituency fighting tooth and nail against the Republican elite to get Democrats confirmed. | ||
| It's all very bizarre, but great, and it represents a reformation of the American system, a shattering of the two-party system. | ||
| And a principled stance of just getting the right people and the right jobs, not because they are activists who will bend the rule of law and use their authority to benefit you, but because they are genuine patriots that want to put the American people first and have the credentials and capability to carry out the responsibilities of these roles. | ||
| So J.D. Vance on his way back from Paris to cast that tie-breaking vote and get RFK Jr. into position. | ||
| And interestingly, the final video I wanted to show today is on this topic exactly. | ||
| This is Dave Smith destroying neocon Joe Walsh about Tulsi Gabbard and just laying waste all of the excuses they made for not wanting Tulsi Gabbard to hold a position in government. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's go now to clip number 17. Tulsi Gabbard has a 10-year history, accelerated by two and a half years ago, of always blaming America. | |
| And always defending Russia. | ||
| I didn't realize I was doing this panel with two Ukrainian assets who were going to be spreading Zelensky talking points. | ||
| So I just I'm appalled. | ||
| See, the thing is here, Joe, it makes the point, right? | ||
| Like, oh, she's always blaming America. | ||
| This is what the George W. Bush Republicans post 9-11. | ||
| This was their brain dead reply to every single left winger who would criticize their foreign policy. | ||
| Oh, you're the blame America first crowd or something like that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But Russia invaded. | |
| A sovereign nation. | ||
| Putin's to blame for that, not America. | ||
| That's my worldview. | ||
| Even when Vladimir Putin has had reasonable demands. | ||
| You cannot bring my biggest neighbor into your military alliance. | ||
| We have thrown the middle finger in his face. | ||
| The issue is that I don't think you actually know anything about what you're talking about. | ||
|
unidentified
|
9-11, the weapons of mass destruction and the Saddam. | |
| So let me finish the point instead of cutting me off by saying you agree with me. | ||
| Because yes, I know you agree because I'm making an undeniably great point. | ||
| The weapons of mass destruction, the Saddam. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I just asked, hey, you know what, Dave? | |
| You're so smart. | ||
| I'm not even that smart. | ||
| I'm not that smart. | ||
| I'm just arguing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You couldn't answer a simple question. | |
| Is America historically, have we been generally a force for good around the world? | ||
| Yes or no? | ||
| Again, I'll answer the question again. | ||
| It's a dumb, stupid, second-grader question. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We've been both a force for good and force for bad. | |
| Absolutely. | ||
| It's just, you know, I'm glad these tired old These rhetorical frameworks are just being shattered completely. | ||
| He's right. | ||
| It's exactly the same thing that happened with George W. Bush. | ||
| You're either with us or against us. | ||
| You either think America is a force for good or a force for evil. | ||
| And if you say they're a force for good, then you're not allowed to question me. | ||
| And if you say they're a force for evil, then you're the bad guy. | ||
| Nobody should listen to you. | ||
| It's just like, stop. | ||
| Just stop. | ||
| We don't want there to be war. | ||
| Is that really complicated to understand? | ||
| This is really baffling to you. | ||
| Well done by Dave Smith. | ||
| That clip made me want to debate. | ||
| I should debate more people. | ||
| I want to call these people morons to their face. | ||
| Not just for three hours a day on InfoWars. | ||
| We got time for a few more calls here. | ||
| Let's go to Kurt in Indiana. | ||
| Kurt, thank you for calling. | ||
| Thank you for holding. | ||

Morning, Harrison. | |
| Just to let everybody know, we're all disappointed in Todd Young, and I can guarantee you that he will be primaried if he is still in office at the end of his tournament. | ||
| So getting to the judges, there's a maximum of law that says, now which one creates, one controls. | ||
| And if an agency is created by the executive branch, the executive branch controls that branch. | ||
| So there it is, right there. | ||
| This judge has absolutely no idea what he's doing. | ||
| He must be an idiot. | ||
| There's no other explanation. | ||
| Well, it's just they just do what they can. | ||
| It's like the undercover video we saw from Project Veritas. | ||
| They're just like, the guy's like, is that legal? | ||
| And the guy's like, ah, we're doing it. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I mean, it is something like technically, like within certain parameters, you could call it legal. | ||
| Sure, yeah. | ||
| It's like, no, they're just doing things. | ||

All the money that Doge finds, which He's fraudulent. | |
| Would have been debt. | ||
| So he's not only saving us just the money that was being spent, but it's money that we borrowed and we're paying interest on it. | ||
| Very good point, Kurt. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And we're paying interest on it for years. | |
| Absolutely. | ||

Yeah, I just want to talk about the power of symbolism, man, and that B.B. Netanyahu is the gangster, and he's a real king. | |
| He stood in front of America when Trump was there with the red tie, man. | ||
| He showed Trump who the boss was. | ||
| He had the red tie on, bro. | ||
| Everyone catch that? | ||
| You catch that? | ||
| I didn't catch that. | ||
