Are you on?
Which side are you on?
We'll fight against George.
We'll fight Elon Musk.
alex jones
It's easy to laugh at the Democrats and their minions.
The lies they tell, the gaslighting they're involved in, how hysteric they are, the calls for violence.
But you have to take it serious because A large percentage of the American people are still in the cult, and they think everybody outside of the cult that's awake are the problems.
Now, obviously, the politicos, the big central banks, they are the bad guys that know what they're doing.
But when you look at the average Democrat, they really are just hokey, very simple, sheltered people.
And I wanted to play a very, very sad clip I saw on Fox News a little while ago of them up there singing this, again, super cheesy campfire song about they're the heroes and they're going to stop Trump and they're going to stop Musk.
And there they are defending their very abusers, defending the corrupt system that's brought us into bankruptcy, and that has set up all this incredible tyranny.
And then I think about the Pentagon documents that came out last week via Doge.
Where Biden had the Pentagon pay, in just one payment, there were many, $9 million-plus to Reuters to engage in mass deception operations, social engineering, against the American people.
They actually call it a deception operation.
And that's just one contract, $300 million for Reuters to attack Elon Musk.
Incredible amounts of money to attack me, that's all come out.
I mean, this is crazy town.
And listen, people keep saying Alex Jones is right.
Yeah, I was right about how corrupt it was and out of control.
But it's quite frankly even worse than I could have imagined because we've been the big powerful country.
We've been the big empire.
The world's been accepting our currency.
And so these people have just gone completely mad.
But a lot of the Democrats, like these people we're about to show you, they're not on the take.
I mean, maybe they got a little government job or something.
No, no.
These are the real bozos.
I mean, the real cult members, folks, that love their abusers.
And actually think that we are the bad guys.
Here is this saddening clip.
Then you juxtapose that with Congresswomen getting up there.
She looks like Darth Vader minus the helmet.
And Darth Vader outfit.
And says, yeah, we've been wanting to censor for a while.
There's groups claiming they want to do it.
We're serious.
Get with us.
We want to censor the American people better.
And then preachers.
Prominent ones saying, let's start killing Republicans.
I mean, these people are dangerous and they're nuts.
You have the invincibly ignorant grassroots Democrats who really think they're the good guys, but above them, you've just got a collection of psychopaths.
Here's the saddening clip.
unidentified
Which side are you on?
Come all of you good workers, good news to you I tell!
Of how the good old union has come in here to dwell.
Oh!
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Tell me.
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
We'll fight against Josh!
We'll fight Elon Musk!
Any landscape within our walls will fight from dawn to dusk.
Oh, which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Tell me!
Which side are you on?
Tell me!
Which side are you on?
Trump's coming for our unions!
He wants us all to fail.
He wants us to bow to him, but we want him in jail.
Oh, which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Tell me.
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Look, let me tell you something.
I'll take a bit of umbrage here.
I'll speak on behalf of my colleagues.
I think I can say we are all But they are not serious.
This is not about government efficiency.
What kind of efficiency makes people hungrier, poorer?
It's Thursday, February 13th 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.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The American Journal.
harrison smith
I'm your host, Harrison Smith, coming to you live this Thursday morning.
For just one heck of a show, folks.
Giant show we have for you today.
I don't know how I'm going to get to all of it.
We got Ian Carroll in studio in the third hour to talk about everything going on.
And boy, is there a lot going on.
But InfoWars is changing.
I don't even know if we've recognized it.
But it's certainly happening.
Before the show, I'm doing my news gathering in the office.
We have a loop of the InfoWars network playing, so I'm watching the tail end of yesterday's War Room episode.
And it's Caitlin.
Why am I blanking on her name?
Caitlin Bennett.
Yeah, Caitlin Bennett.
Her triumphant return to right-wing media.
And, of course, the conversation between her and Owen is all about the absolute freak show of leftist protest.
And just the bizarre concoction, the strange...
Unity between Gen Zers that just hate Elon Musk and boomers that think transgenderism is the next civil rights hurdle and they're just constantly trying to live in the 60s.
It's just a strange kind of...
And then this morning we start the show off with this five-minute report by Alex Jones.
And again, it's this sort of...
We're almost becoming a nature channel now.
We used to do conspiracies.
We used to do conspiracy theories.
But apparently, over the last about 24 hours, we've just become almost, we're almost just engaged in like a sociological, philosophical, psychological profiling of the left.
Because that's what I intend to do today, is just look at what is going on with the left and A, laugh at them in their faces about how utterly shattered this election has left them.
But B, try to Try to get inside their minds.
Try to figure out what exactly they think is going on.
We'll also be laughing at them.
We're laughing at them in every step of the way, I should admit.
We're also going to try to figure out what do we do with this?
Because this is, again, a major vulnerability.
It's a chink in the armor of the globalists.
They have failed so badly.
They're in such disarray right now.
Basically, we routed them.
We routed them.
They are engaged in a panicked retreat.
And during war, this is the time when you rack up the numbers.
Okay, 90% of deaths on the battlefield back before gunpower was during the route when everybody turned and ran and the lines broke and you could pursue your enemy and run them down.
That's the phase that we're at right now.
And it's almost like the other side has turned and is running and we're all still in the battle lines kind of like looking at each other like, well, what do we, this has never happened before.
Usually we have to fight to the death, and they've got all sorts of bizarre trickery to keep us on our back foot.
And it's almost like we don't even know what to do, like how to pursue them, because we haven't been in this situation in a very long time.
So we're going to try to figure out, what do we do?
How do we close this chapter or this particular battle in the war in a way to maximize our victory?
So that's really what, you know, we'll be talking about conspiracies, obviously.
We'll be talking about trillions of dollars of wealth stolen from you and other Americans to pay for all sorts of ridiculous nonsense around the world.
We'll get into all of that for sure, and we'll take a look at what, you know, the Trump administration is doing to pursue this victory, including launching lawsuits against politicians in New York, New York City.
We'll be talking about all of that, of course.
But for a lot of it, it really is just going to be...
Like psychologically profiling the left and what they're going through right now, how they're handling it, and partly just how they have nothing.
They just have absolutely nothing.
One thing I want to get very much into, because I've seen it like a hundred times on X in the last day, is the left has latched onto this.
It is the thing they're hanging their hat on.
And it's just an image, a clip out of a single line from an article that just says, like, because of Doge, A 71-year-old woman had her oxygen cut and has died.
And it's just like there's no context.
There's no information about it.
No picture of this.
It was just a sentence.
Old woman died.
And it's like that's all they have, huh?
That's it?
I was thinking about doing a version of my own.
Just writing a sentence that's just like, you know.
A puppy has been euthanized because of Trump.
Just type it out on Word.
Screenshot it.
Put it up.
And they'd repeat it like 10,000 times.
Just be like, evil.
This is evil.
How evil this is.
And not to make fun, you know, obviously you're not happy about a 71-year-old woman dying.
But, like, that's all.
There's no photo ops with AOC crying at the border on the chain link fence.
There's no, like, they can't latch their teeth on anything.
They just have...
Absolutely nothing.
And they're resorting to just a one-sentence summary of something that I guess happened in Thailand.
It's weird.
71-year-old woman dies after being sent home from USAID-funded hospitals.
Other die after hospitals close in refugee camps.
Yeah, we'll get into this story.
It's not what you think it is.
Because that's not new.
That's not a new part of this phenomenon is that what the left is mad about kind of isn't even real.
Anyway, we'll get into it, but this is where the Democrats are at this point.
They have just literally nothing, and they're latching on just the most vaguely related stories to try to somehow regain the moral high ground and act like they're the good guys, and it is just completely falling flat, which is extremely entertaining and I think highly enlightening, so we'll get into all of that and so much more, and I won't give anything away.
I want to thank our audience.
Personally, I want to thank our audience for helping me out.
Responding to my clarion call yesterday, I asked you to reach out to Anna Paulina Luna, and there's some stuff happening.
So no promises.
I'm not going to get into details, but the pressure campaign is working.
So thank you very much for everybody who is helping us out with that.
And again, we are going to just continue to absolutely dominate this entire year.
I'm very excited for 2025. I know we're like a sixth of the way through, but...
It just feels like this is our year.
It's very fun.
As we transform from a conspiracy, news, political series of shows to kind of like the David Attenborough, the planet Earth of liberalism, studying the wildlife and seeing if we can't come to some scientific conclusions.
So we have a lot to talk about.
We got a lot of...
You know, it's a bad analogy.
Now that I think about it, It's a bad analogy.
Animals are beautiful and majestic, so I don't know.
Is there some sort of documentary series that studies mold and that grows in sewers?
That's sort of the type of documentary I'm talking about.
One of the documentaries about bugs that makes you sick to your stomach to watch.
That's sort of the style of nature documentary we're now engaged in as we watch the leftists shriek incoherently.
All right.
Let's begin today, as we do every day, with our Daily Dispatch.
All right, here it is, folks, your Daily Dispatch.
For Thursday, the 13th of February, 2025, Pam Bondi announces a lawsuit against New York over immigration Quote, you're next.
On Wednesday, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the Department of Justice has filed a civil lawsuit against New York Governor Kathy Hochul and State Attorney General Letitia James, both Democrats, for allegedly failing to enforce...
Bondi said the lawsuits were also filed against Mark Schroeder, New York's Department of Motor Vehicles Commissioner in the state of New York.
The civil suit was reportedly filed in Albany County Federal Court.
Quote, this is a new DOJ. We're taking steps to protect American citizens.
As you know, we sued Illinois and New York didn't listen.
So you're next, Bondi said during her first press conference as Attorney General.
Exciting, you know, good to see that they're on the march on the...
Offensive here.
However, it was reported a little bit, I don't know, hyperbolically yesterday when it was saying Pam Bondi drops charges, not drops charges, but lays charges on Kathy Hochul and Letitia James.
Because these aren't criminal charges.
This is a civil lawsuit.
So again, we're like halfway there.
Like, okay, good, but more.
Okay, good, but handcuffs.
Handcuffs.
We don't want to be wrapped up in civil court with them for years while they fight back and try to continue their malfeasance.
They need to go to jail.
They need to be imprisoned for a long time because of the crimes they commit.
So far, the motto of the Trump campaign, as far as I'm concerned, is like, you're good, but more.
Good, but we want faster, more, harder.
Do it better.
But it's good.
It's good.
I'm not complaining.
It's good.
We're on the march.
Things are happening.
Lawsuits being laid.
Democrats being held to account.
Sloan said he wins the race.
I know we should calm down a little bit, but I want to see them in handcuffs, so I should keep reminding you of that.
Meanwhile, Senate advances RFK Jr.'s HHS nomination.
Final confirmation vote to be held today.
So I actually meant to mention that to the crew.
We need to be monitoring this.
Yesterday, the Tulsi Gabbard confirmation broke during our show.
I imagine the RFK Jr.'s We'll keep an eye on that and bring you the results just as soon as it happens.
The Senate on Wednesday voted along party lines 53 to 47 to invoke cloture on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s HHS nomination.
The final Senate floor vote to confirm RFK Jr. will be held 30 hours later on Thursday morning unless Democrat senators give back their time.
I think Adam Schiff might be engaged in a filibuster right now.
I don't know.
He posted something about...
If you're up at 1am and it's like...
If Adam Schiff is ever asking you where you're at in the middle of the night, just run.
Just run away as quickly as you can.
Alright?
You never want Adam Schiff being like, what are you doing at 1am?
unidentified
What are you doing a little after midnight tonight, kid?
harrison smith
Please, sir.
Please let me go.
I don't know.
I don't know what he's doing, but we will be keeping an eye on that and bringing you the update just as soon as we find it.
Meanwhile, from Gateway Pundit, why is this not making headlines?
Over $2.7 trillion in fraudulent U.S. government payments discovered, Caroline Levitt responds.
On Wednesday, Real America's Voice White House reporter Brian Glenn asked White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt about the trillions in fraudulent Medicare and Medicaid and Medicare payments that have been going overseas.
And the number looks like it's upwards of 2.7.
Trillion dollars in errors since 2003. So that's why we can't have nice things.
That's why we can't afford anything.
And again, we'll get back to that.
It's worse than you think.
These supposed errors, it's pretty clear by the way that they took place, they're not errors.
This was very deliberate.
And whether it's Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, these are funds that have been...
We'll get back to that, but it's finally stopping.
Trump to hold a presser today to reveal names of entities and people involved in government fraud and abuse, saying, quote, there's no chance that there's no kickbacks going on.
President Trump announced he will be holding a press conference tomorrow to release a list of names and entities and people involved in government and fraud abuse.
This fraud and abuse, government fraud and abuse.
This comes one day after Elon Musk said Doge was investigating how government workers mysteriously accrued millions of dollars.
Saying, quote, we do find it sort of rather odd that there are quite a few people in the bureaucracy who have essentially a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars, but somehow managed to accrue tens of millions in net worth while they're in that position, Elon Musk said on Tuesday.
So today, again, we're looking forward to the Trump press briefing in which he'll release the names of the people who have been caught red-handed robbing us blind.
And then we have this.
Kremlin confirms Putin invited Trump to Moscow to discuss ending the war in Ukraine.
Things keep progressing at warp speed on the foreign policy front after the bombshell news that U.S. President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin had a lengthy call and are beginning high-level peace negotiations to end the war in Ukraine.
They also agreed to meet in the future.
Now it arises from Russian official sources that Putin invited President Trump to visit Moscow for a face-to-face summit to negotiate peace.
Yes, peace is on its way.
Europe and NATO is freaking out about this because they want a seat at the peace talks.
And it's like, no, you don't get a say.
You had a chance for two-plus years to try to bring peace.
You've done nothing but aggravate the war.
So now that we're going to end the war, you don't get to bully your way into the peace talks.
You're like, oh, actually, we always want to be here.
We should be in peace talks.
We should be allowed to participate.
It's like, you could have done this earlier.
No, you could have done it earlier.
It's like that Aesop's fable about the chicken baking the bread.
You have to help out with the process.
You can't just scuttle peace talks for two years, and then when Donald Trump forces them through, act like you deserve a spot at the table.
You lost your chance already, so stuff it, NATO. Also, just as a final note, Dozens injured as driver crashes car into Munich protests.
It was actually an Afghan character.
The authorities believe the crash into a union's strike day demonstrations was a deliberate attack.
The suspect is a 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeker who was known to the police.
Wow.
A sentence that we have to read about every month.
Yes, the attack was deliberate.
Yes, it was an asylum seeker.
Yes, he does have a history of violence and was on the radar of the police.
Because apparently we have literally millions of foreigners in Europe, blatant criminals, future terrorists, just allowed to carry out their senseless and horrific attacks over and over and over.
I have a very, very simple solution to this.
If Germany's interested, I have a very simple solution.
It's called Get Them Out of Your Country.
It's really not that complicated.
All right, that's your Daily Dispatch.

I think I was talking to my sister yesterday, and I said something about, like, well, we'll see if I have a job in a month.
She's like, but Trump's president.
She's like, but Trump is president now.
Are you really going to get shut down with Trump as president?
He's like, I don't know.
I don't know what's going to happen.
Maybe that does have an effect.
Maybe we'll be looking into what the Department of Justice has been up to and maybe the president's office could take a look at what's been going on with them full wars.
But no, just because we sacrifice ourselves to get Trump elected doesn't mean...
He owes us anything.
We're doing it for the love of the game, folks.
We're doing it for the love of the country.

What's going on today?
It feels like a second American revolution.
And actually, while I'm on the topic, and I won't spend too much time on it, but I gotta recommend a book.
I gotta recommend a book to everybody called The Frontiersman.
It's the best history book about America I've ever read.
I'm only like a quarter of the way through.
And if you've ever wanted to appreciate what early American settlers...
On the frontier had to go through.
It's the best book I've ever read.
It is freaking amazing.
Because these guys were...
They were like video game characters.
They're like legit heroes to a degree that you really can't explain.
So the way this book was put together, it's amazing.
It's called The Frontiersman, A Narrative.
I'm not sure the author's name.
But yeah, The Frontiersman, A Narrative.
And the way it was put together, it's a narrative story.
So it's not just a history book.
But every word in it is taken from first-hand sources.
So the whole first chapter lays out, like, every conversation you hear is taken from direct sources with knowledge of, you know, and so, and then it goes through to be like, and sometimes, you know, occasionally we had to sort of imagine what the conversations were like, but here's how that looked.
And it'll go, you know, was written in the diary was, Jim came to town and I found this out.
And so then it goes, and so we'll render that as...
You know, in the narrative form where I went to town and I saw Jim.
Hello, Jim, I said.
So it goes through the whole first chapter.
They spend like a whole first chapter explaining this because if they didn't explain it, you wouldn't believe it.
If they didn't emphasize like, no, everything in this book is 100% real, you would think it was a fairy tale.
And again, I don't even know if I have like a larger point of this.
But what this book, yeah, this is it.
The Frontiersman and Narrative.
But it is one of the most inspiring books I've ever read.
If I'd read it in like middle school, I'd probably be living in the woods right now.
I would want to be one of these guys.
And it just, it gives you an appreciation of like the destiny of America and like where we came from and the sacrifices people made and the brutality of it all.
And the...
I mean, like, you read this and you're like, yeah, these people are, like, divinely blessed.
There are things that happen in these books that you wouldn't believe if it was in a Hollywood movie.
I mean, characters that you meet and are, like, best friends and then, like, disappear and then, you know, at the last moment a guy's, like, about to be killed and, you know, an Indian with a tomahawk's about to slap him, you know, smash him in the head when suddenly a gunshot goes off and it's the guy from, you know, ten chapters earlier in the book shows up out of nowhere to save the day.
It's like...
You read this and you're just like, there's something mystical about this.
And it's just incredible.
Daniel Boone is a major character.
This type of thing where the Indians capture him and are going to execute him, but he's just such a great guy that they end up just adopting him into their tribe and just giving him freedom.
So he just escaped.
So he's getting on a horse and riding away one day.
It's like, what our forefathers went through?
The toughness, the brutality, the...
Will.
The striving.
Right?
You just can't help but think about the Magellan rant from Alex because it's like, you read this and again, you know, you think about when people go, we were always a nation of immigrants.
It's like, do you have any idea?
Do you have any idea what the early settlers went through?
And this isn't like the Ohio Valley.
This is like, you know, just outside of Pittsburgh.
And there's like...
They're scalping each other.
And just, you know, the Indians, I mean, it was, you know, they put up a fight.
Let's just say that.
It was not a foregone conclusion if you read this book.
Like, yeah, white people are going to take over this continent.
It's like, no, it got close.
It was a close-run thing at the end of the day.
Anyway, it's just fascinating.
So if you're looking for a great history book on American history, That's compelling and in a narrative form, not just a recitation of names and dates, but actual characters that you can get invested in.
Check out The Frontiersman, because again, it will just inspire you and stop you complaining about things that you're going through.
Because what our forefathers went through to build this place was hell.
I mean, they went through hell.
And so...
You know, just as we look at America today and the stuff that we're going through, I think it's worth it to go back and look at what heroes, literal comic book superheroes like Daniel Boone or Simon Butler went through.
It's absolutely wild.
So that's the official American Journal book recommendation for you, Frontiersman.
When we get back on the other side, we're going to start talking about Doge again, what's being uncovered.
What they have found and announced, we'll take a look at the press room, press briefing at the White House yesterday.
I think it's a good place to start as we talk about the flailing, inconsistent, impotent, and desperate reaction of the left to being on the back foot for the first time in their lives.
It's something to behold, and it's amazing to know that Trump is not backing down and just doubling down in his efforts.
All right, good morning, folks.
Welcome back.
This is the American Journal.
unidentified
We've got a lot to talk about today.
harrison smith
Let's go ahead and start with this.
We'll get to the Pam Bondi stuff and the observations of democratic insanity in just a second, although this is just another form of it, I suppose.
But later today, and we'll be keeping an eye on it, the confirmation vote for RFK Jr. to become head of HHS will take place and we'll bring you...
The results or, you know, how that's progressing as it takes place.
Here's a story from Infowars.com.
Democrat attacks JFK for linking SSRIs to mass shootings.
Mocs claim chemicals and water are turning children gay.
Senator Brian Schatz attempted to block RFK.
However, he passed Senate cloture by a vote of 53 to 47.
Berkeley researchers documented the effects of chemical atrazine, abundant U.S. water supply to sterilization and feminization of frogs.
Let's go ahead and go to this video.
Again, this is from Infowars.com.
Democrat attacks RFK for linking SSRIs to mass shootings, mocking claims that chemicals in the water are turning children gay.
Let's watch.
tina smith
So let me ask you, in an interview in 2023 and again in 2024, you blamed school shootings on antidepressants.
You said, and this is a quote, There is no time in American history or human history that kids were going to shoot schools and shooting their classmates.
It really started happening coterminous with the introduction of these drugs, with Prozac and with other drugs.
So do you believe, as you've said, that antidepressants cause school shootings?
This should be a simple question.
unidentified
I don't think anybody can answer that question, and I didn't answer that question.
I said it should be studied along with other potential culprits.
Social media.
But I don't know.
robert f kennedy-jr
I would never make, because there's no science on that, Senator.
tina smith
Well, there is, Senator.
I mean, excuse me, there is, Mr. Kennedy.
unidentified
Thank you for the promotion.
tina smith
The science shows that there is no link between school shootings and antidepressants.
And in fact, most school shooters were not even treated with antidepressants.
And of those that were, there was no evidence of association, you know.
unidentified
I don't think you can say that, Senator, because HIPAA rules, nobody knows.
tina smith
Well, that is Mr.
unidentified
Why do they hate science?
harrison smith
Why are they science deniers, you have to wonder?
Practically every mass shooter has been on SSRIs.
Now, you can say part of that could be because, well, the people likely to shoot up a school would have mental problems, and so they're the most likely to be put on drugs.
But here's the little twist to that.
They say on the bottle that the medicines can cause homicidal thoughts.
Everybody knows that when you start messing with the brain chemistry with SSRIs, everybody will have a different reaction and some of the reactions will be suicidal thoughts, suicide attempts, homicidal thoughts or attempts.
It completely warps and distorts how your brain functions overall.
You know, main side effects is that it can aggravate homicidal feelings.
I mean, this is not even disputed.
And of course, if RFK had blamed it on video games, it would be taken very seriously, right?
The only reason they're questioning this outcome is because it's pharmaceuticals, and they want to defend pharmaceuticals, and they don't want people questioning pharmaceuticals.
Like, that's it.
That's the only reason they have to question about this.
They're defending the poor, innocent.
Massive pharmaceutical industry that's poisoning our entire country.
And extremely dangerous.
And by the way, wasn't it like last year that they admitted that SSRIs don't even function the way they thought they did?
And that there's no evidence for their efficacy anyway, but they're still being prescribed everywhere?
I mean, didn't we figure this out already?
And then, of course, the atrazine thing.
I mean, the question you have to ask is, like, why don't they...
They would burn the country down if you started putting chemicals in the water that made people straight.
They would burn the city down.
They would burn the country down, wouldn't they?
Wouldn't they?
I mean, don't they get that you can add hormones to things and affect the biological function of animals and that it can change their...
And that frogs being gay is not some sort of, you know, cultural act by the frogs.
These aren't conscious creatures with, you know, souls that are choosing to be gay.
They are animals that operate on instinct and their instinct is wired wrongly, wired for death, not for life.
Gay frogs means the extinction of frogs in a generation.
Do they not understand?
Do they think the frogs are choosing to be gay?
I think frogs are just born this way.
From the article, he puts this Tyrone Hayes, professor of integrative biology at UC Berkeley, put 70 African frogs, water frogs, He put atrazine in a quarter of that aquarium.
That was less than the EPA's level, so it's less than the levels we have in 63% of our water supply.
60 of those frogs became sterile, JFK said, or RFK said in a recent interview with Jordan Peterson, adding, they're all male frogs.
And it's not just frogs, right?
For years, for like over a decade, there have been stories about the Potomac in particular, and the fish there being hermaphroditic, having their biology Mutated by the chemicals in the water.
Why don't they care about this?
Why do they think it's more important to defend big pharmaceutical profits than it is to determine whether or not the medicine they're giving to children is causing mass shootings?
Now the other reason they don't want to talk about that is because they don't actually care about mass shootings.
They want to get rid of guns.
So if you can point to things like SSRIs and say actually if we deal with this we don't have to worry about the guns.
That interferes their ultimate goal, which is to disarm you.
That's what they actually, so by pointing to a real cause of school shootings that's not guns, and they could actually be confronted, you're just interfering with their ultimate goal, which is to get the gun.
So they don't actually care about another reason that can be presented.
And all in all, what this really represents...
Is this conflict between the entrenched sort of industrial mindset of the political class with people that actually care about health and wellness and nature.
These people have a view of reality that is wrong.
I mean, it's like so wrong it's hard to explain.
You know what I mean?
Because I really can't understand a mindset that thinks that pharmaceutical intervention is an unquestionable and ubiquitous solution to every problem.
That totally boggles my mind.
And I don't understand how you can go, okay, if we use this pesticide, it'll make it a little cheaper to harvest the food.
But we destroy nature itself.
We make all the animals die off.
We poison the rivers.
We make our kids gay.
It's like, is this really the trade-off that we want to make?
And who made that decision?
And why did they make it?
And the thing that people found funny about Alex Jones obviously freaking out about the frogs being gay, first of all, they don't understand it's true.
They don't understand...
I don't know.
They're disconnected from...
From whatever wavelength or frequency that we're operating on that goes, that sees, you know, chemical runoff sterilizing and warping the activity of, you know, innocent creatures.
And you go, well, this is horrible.
This is creepy and crazy.
And you think about, and this chemical's everywhere and it's on our children.
And it's literally warping the brains of animals to the point that they are suicidal and they don't even realize it.
Like, this is crazy.
Like, you know, you come to these revelations, you go, oh my god.
But the reason that I think people got the wrong impression about the Alex Jones clip is because of the way he phrases it.
Again, if you'd presented it like a scientist and said...
Our exposure, an overexposure to atrazine by some amphibians with a higher rate of absorption than mammals, we'll see intersex activity.
And it's all very like played down and like, you know, then they would go, oh, yes, yes, I see.
Oh, well, very troubling, sir.
You know, they would take it very seriously.
But Alex says they're putting chemicals in the water to turn the frogs gay.
They're putting chemicals in the water to turn the frogs gay.
So people see that and they say, well, this is crazy.
He thinks people are...
You think that's a big conspiracy that's going behind the scenes?
You have to understand.
He's exactly right.
They are putting chemicals in the water that turn the frogs gay.
They know that's what it does.
They fund lobbying efforts to stop this being studied and figured out.
Just like you can say, you know, they put chemicals in the cigarettes that kill people.
Yeah.
For a long time, the tobacco companies knew cigarettes killed people, paid for fraudulent scientific studies to say otherwise, covered up the actual scientific studies that proved it could cause lung cancer and stuff.
They do this knowingly.
I see a similarity to what's going on with COVID right now, where people are questioning the lab leak scenario.
The fact that they covered it up is proof that they knew the...
Fact going in, and the reason you cover it up is because you know it and you have guilty knowledge.
It's the same thing with chemicals in the water, chemicals in the food.
These companies pay for lobbying efforts.
They pay for fraudulent scientific studies to hide the fact that these chemicals are having this effect because they want to continue to spread the chemicals that have this effect.
It's not like they figured this out and went, oh my gosh, this is terrible.
We better fix this.
This was an accident.
They sit there and they go, okay, this chemical...
Causes all these problems.
Let's keep doing it, right?
They're doing it on purpose.
They're doing it willfully.
They're doing it knowing full well the effects that it's having.
They're making the choice to do it, and they're covering up and blacklisting the reporters who report on this type of stuff.
Remember, Monsanto had a black ops operation going on behind the scenes to target people talking about this type of stuff right here.
And GMOs and all that other stuff.
So again, what this represents at the end of the day is the mindset that has destroyed American health and American culture and the American children versus just an old school way of thinking that I think RFK represents, which is just like, let's look at all of the effects of these insane chemical interventions and actually see if some of the correlation is actually causation.
Because there is correlation.
We always had guns in this country.
We didn't have school shootings.
Something happened.
Something changed.
It wasn't the guns.
If you're looking at the equation, that's not an independent variable.
That's not one of the ones that affects the outcome because there were always guns.
I always think back to the Ted Nugent firestorm interview Alex did with Ted Nugent where he's like, yeah, growing up in high school.
It was a big hunting community and we'd all have our rifles in our locker.
Like, there used to be way more guns all around schools.
Nobody shot each other.
So what happened?
What changed that?
What had to take place in the minds of the American people to where suddenly little kids want to slaughter their classmates?
Like, it's so demented and demonic.
You gotta look at all possibilities.
Part of it is probably just the general collapse of culture overall.
But there's definitely an aspect of...
You know, pharmaceutical interventions going badly.
All right?
So again, we'll keep an eye on RFK's confirmation hearing.
Oh, it'll happen at 9.30 a.m.
Central Time, so about halfway through this show.
We'll bring you updates to that.
And, and I don't know.
I mean, this is what makes someone in conspiracy theories is you see these dis-separate things where you see connections between them.
And I see connections between all of this stuff.
We're going to go to a bunch of videos here of the left, you know, shrieking and freaking out and being utterly baffled by just very normal things.
And you just have to, it's, I honestly don't even know how to express it.
I just wish they were normal.
I just wish they were human beings.
It would just be so nice to have thoughtful, intelligent, unbiased people running our country.
And instead we have the exact opposite.
Because it is just baffling to me how they're able to put people in this mindset.
Again, I'm seeing this connection between the lab leak theory and everything else because we knew about COVID before anybody else.
We were doing reports on it a month before anybody on CNN ever mentioned, you know, a flu arising in China.
And I just always think back to this time where my wife talked to her friend on the phone.
And I was just overhearing it.
And it was very early on.
It must have been like, you know, February of 2020. COVID had first been made public and people started to talk about it.
And they're talking about where it came from.
My wife's like, yeah, well, you know, there's like a lab there in China.
It could have been a lab leak.
And her friend's just like, that's conspiracy theory.
It's like, well, you don't know that.
You have no answers to this.
You have no reason to believe that it didn't come from a lab.
So why do they have this knee-jerk reaction?
Like, it's been pre-programmed.
How do they pre-program things that they don't even know about?
Like, they had no idea this disease existed, but they already know it didn't come from a lab?
I genuinely don't understand how that happens.
Okay?
Or like the SSRIs and school shootings.
What is the knee-jerk reaction to reject that?
Well, why have that reaction?
What mindset is that?
I'm baffled by it.
I'm fascinated and kind of horrified by it.
What type of person is presented with a perfectly reasonable, totally legitimate...
You know, comment about what could cause or exacerbate mass shootings, and they just reject it outright, like, angrily.
Like, they're angry about it.
They're angry that you would suggest that it's SSRIs.
Why, though?
But why are they so mad that you're pointing out that the vast majority of school shooters are on a cocktail of mind-bending drugs?
What type of person...
Here's that suggestion.
Or vaccines causing autism.
What is the emotional reaction that causes him to get so angry?
I genuinely don't understand it.
So all you can say is like, yeah, these people are broken.
They're mentally destroyed.
They're cult members.
And that's the only way I can explain it.
Kind of like, I mean, just like any hardcore religious group.
You know, you might insult them without even realizing.
You know, you just go, hey, you know.
Could have come from a lab leak.
No, no, that's conspiracy theory.
How dare you?
You hate Chinese people.
What?
You know, Obama's birth certificate.
You can drag it into Photoshop and separate the layers.
It's totally fake.
No, no.
You just hate black people.
Why do they have these reactions?
Genuinely, why?
Why?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I really don't.
But they do, and they have this reaction about everything.
And it's funny to see them try to just react to any of this stuff.
Maybe clip 14 is a good one to start with.
It's Mad Maxine.
It's Maxine Waters, one of the worst people.
She's one of the worst people.
And yeah, this is good because it's frantic, it's angry, but she sort of lets slip what is really going on.
This is sort of a fascinating example of a lot of examples that we'll go through today of the genuine madness that this is driving the leftists to.
Here's Mad Maxine Waters yesterday talking about the Doge and the Treasury and them getting access to information.
Let's watch.
maxine waters
The people of this country are being violated because all of our privacy is being taken up by Elon Musk and Trump, and we don't know what all they have on us.
unidentified
We don't know what all they have on us.
harrison smith
I mean, we've got the criminals so desperate.
They're sitting in the interrogation room going, well, they don't even know that I killed that guy.
I mean, I didn't, but they don't know that I did.
I mean, but I didn't.
It's like they're freaking out.
They can't handle the pressure, and they're cracking.
And again, they are trying every excuse that they can think of.
None of them are sticking.
There's nothing wrong with what Elon Musk or the Doge team or Donald Trump is doing.
But they're like, oh, our privacy.
Oh, they're violating all of our privacy.
Oh, you care about privacy now?
I mean, the last three weeks, it's like, they care about the economy now, they care about privacy, they care about, you know, unelected bureaucrats operating outside of, you know, congressional control.
I mean, it's amazing.
In the last three weeks, Democrats have started to really pretend to care about America, have really started to pretend to care about...
These principles.
Now, they don't.
Let's be perfectly clear.
They don't.
They still don't.
They never have.
You think she really cares about privacy?
What was her vote on the Patriot Act, right?
How does she feel about Edward Snowden?
These people don't care about privacy.
It's their privacy.
It is literally that video that we played on Monday of the woman saying Democrats are acting like the cheating boyfriend who's mad that the girlfriend's looking at his phone.
You violated my privacy.
She's literally saying the exact phrase that that woman was referencing.
Yeah, America, 2025. There it is.
There it is, folks.
Let's go to clip eight now.
This is, again, similar.
You know, the Democrats...
This is what's so fascinating.
I mean, it's just a...
We're witnessing a societal breakdown on the Democrat side that's totally unprecedented.
We're in uncharted waters here.
We've never been in my life in a situation where the left is so frantic and flailing and desperate and they can't get a grip on anything.
Their messaging is simultaneously unified and nonsensical.
Like usually when they all land on a single phrase to repeat over and over, nobody's above the law, nobody's above the law, nobody's above the law.
It at least has some sense to it, some grounding in fact.
You know, if our world was legitimate.
If our justice system was functioning correctly and the former president was under suspicion of committing crimes, then yeah, nobody's above the law.
That makes sense.
It's a good phrase.
It's convincing.
It hits people.
It's rhetorically sound.
They're usually very sophisticated in this type of stuff.
Now they all are going off the same talking points that just don't make any sense and don't actually apply to anything in reality.
And so, again, it's funny to see them...
Trying to figure out what their messaging is and they just can't get it right.
Here's CNN again trying to claim that Doge is being secretive or doesn't have transparency when the exact opposite is true.
These talking points are frankly hilarious.
Let's go to clip 8 now.
karoline leavitt
He's not been transparent.
unidentified
I mean, there may be...
scott jennings
They're making routine announcements about the things they are finding, and they are inviting questions about the things they are finding every single day.
unidentified
But by definition, he's not being transparent.
kate bolduan
They're not providing data for the things that they say they have found evidence of.
unidentified
They just aren't.
I mean, the White House has provided...
You can make announcements, and he also did admit that he actually...
harrison smith
You just don't believe it.
I mean, they are providing information.
unidentified
You just choose not to believe that it's true.
harrison smith
Like, what does she think transparency means?
She's like, he is not being transparent.
The guy's like, they're literally publishing every single thing they're doing.
They're bringing you hourly updates.
And for our radio viewers, the video of that behind it is just the Doge Twitter feed with just hourly updates of everything they're finding, everything they're doing, everything happening is being announced.
And she's just like, but that's not transparency.
No, it is, though.
But that's exactly what transparency is.
They're being transparent.
She's like, well, just because you make announcements about what you're doing, it doesn't mean you're being transparent.
It's like, no, that is what that means, actually.
So, I don't know, you know, I guess we'll just, I guess we'll just, this will be it.
This will be the next four years, is every 24 hours, they'll try some new attack.
It will fail embarrassingly and they'll move on to the next one.
So today it's like, well, they're not really being trans.
Actually, we're the ones that care about transparency and we want transparency.
And we'll just be like, alright, the whole point of Doge is transparency.
Actually, what Doge is doing, every step of what they're doing is bringing transparency and awareness and light to what was previously a totally clouded and obfuscated federal function, federal bureaucracy.
They just have nothing.
They have absolutely Nothing to go on.
I'll bring you more on the other side.
They are...
Well, they're going crazy.
They really are just going crazy.
They have absolutely nothing to offer, nothing to argue for.
They're admitting this.
I'll show you clips on the other side.
Of the Democrats.
I don't know.
I wish I had some very solidified conclusion to come to.
But the reality is that like...
This is just people who have been pulled out of Plato's cave.
Welcome back.
Second hour of American Journal is on.
I want to go down to clip number five.
This is from The Daily Show, I guess the day before yesterday, discussing the problem with the Democrats.
And we'll see what conclusion they come to.
But again, just soak in the pathetic desperation of the left.
Let's watch.
unidentified
Do you really think the Democrats' problem is a messaging problem?
I think it's, I don't know what they stand for.
I don't know what their principle is.
This is three weeks old.
What is it, three, four weeks old?
This is not a new feeling.
People did not believe, I think people did not fully take on board that what Donald Trump was saying that he was gonna do in all those speeches that we- Either laughed about or disbelieved or kind of let fly by or foolish enough to believe that he would lose.
They did not quite take on board the full reality, the fullness of what he was going to do, how fast it was going to come, and with what sense of diabolical organization.
Because you have to say, it is just coming so fast to people.
In terms of the press, in terms of public opinion, in terms of the Democratic Party, that people are on their heels.
And I hope that doesn't last.
If you keep ceding that to Trump, a lot of damage is gonna be done very, very quickly.
I almost wonder, you almost wanna say to them, you have to exist outside of him.
It's as though they define themselves almost entirely by reactions to his movements.
But the problem is that he's president and he's maximizing executive powers quickly and as fully as he possibly can.
And unless you have a coherent reaction to that, whether it's in Congress, with the press, or the greater world, or on the street, you're going to lose a lot.
But people have to wake up.
We have our job.
Do you think they don't have your job?
I think everybody here can't sit back either.
I think we need a game plan.
Honestly, I don't think it's that people aren't awake.
jon stewart
I think they feel rudderless and thirsty for inspiring leadership that feels principled and has a plan of action that can turn this into something.
unidentified
I don't think the American people want this corrosive day to day.
I truly don't believe that.
That doesn't mean they don't want a secure border.
It doesn't mean they don't want law and order in their cities.
It doesn't mean that they don't want some other common sense things that have been done.
They don't want the other part.
I agree with you.
I agree with you.
harrison smith
Comedy Central, folks.
A barrel of laughs over at Comedy Central.
They're like, it's a messaging problem.
No, your messaging is very good.
We know exactly what you stand for.
They're like, Democrats don't know what they stand for.
We know what you stand for.
You stand for cutting the genitals off little boys.
You stand for demonizing the family unit.
You stand for homosexuality and hating white men.
We know exactly what you stand for.
That's not a problem.
The problem is not knowing what you stand for.
It's what you stand for.
The problem is that you're all relentless hypocrites and psychopaths and tyrants and vicious and petty scum.
That's the problem.
How do you not realize this?
Honestly, how do you not realize this?
At the end there, Jon Stewart's like, we don't want all this strife.
I mean, people can have different ideas, but they still want a secure border and law and order.
And it's like, oh, really?
Oh, well, you know, maybe you shouldn't have fought us tooth and nail on that.
I mean, maybe if you're so worried about how we're just dominating you everywhere all of the time, maybe like, 10 years ago when we were like, hey, you can do whatever you want.
I'd like to be safe walking my streets and I'd like my country to be secure.
Can we do that?
And they're just like, never.
You'll never get that, you racist, bigot, white supremacist.
You'll never get it.
So this is your fault.
So now suddenly it's like all they want was secure borders and law and order.
And it's like, yeah, you could have been on our side about that.
You could have just helped us to establish order.
Not tried to defund the police, not opened our border.
This is all of your own making, you absolute morons.
You deserve everything you get.
And by the way, the only reason they're like this is because the Democrats have been acting for the last 10 years like they will never lose again.
And they were convinced that they could do whatever they wanted to the American people because they never thought they'd be out of power again.
This was never...
They never expected this.
They always thought they'd have their boots on our necks.
And now that they're not, they're flipping out.
If you want an image for the modern Democrat, I think the best you'll find available is Scar from The Lion King.
I don't know how long it's been since y'all watched The Lion King.
But I have a three-year-old, so it's a great movie.
Like, one of the best parts.
And literally while I'm watching it, I'm like, I hope my son is getting the message it's sending here.
I hope he gets this.
If you remember in Lion King, you know, Scar's got this pack of degenerate little hyenas.
These cackling little morons that he, you know, convinces to overthrow the glorious and prideful lions.
And, you know, when he's on top, he's just vicious and condescending and snarky.
And just abusing everybody.
And then the instant Simba comes back and knocks him on the back, it's, oh, you wouldn't do this to your poor uncle!
Your poor innocent uncle!
You're right, he just dissolves into this, like, weepy crying.
And if you remember in the movie, Simba, like, falls for it for a second.
Sort of, you know, he is my uncle.
And then Scar throws ash in his face and blinds him and attacks him again.
That's the Democrats.
Okay?
When they're in charge...
They're utterly vicious.
They'll claw your eyes out and laugh at you for crying about it.
And then the instant that you're in charge, they're just a pathetic mess going, I thought you were going to be the nice one.
You keep talking about how nice you are, but here you're being mean to me, and I thought.
And then if you give them, if you fall for it, if you give them even a moment of rest, they're going to throw hot embers in your eyes and blind you and try to throw you off a cliff, all right?
That's who these people are.
They're Scar from The Lion King.
And that's just the image you get over and over again from these people.
Like we don't remember four years ago.
Like we don't remember you locking everybody in their homes.
Saying let's deny the unvaccinated healthcare.
Denying healthcare to white people for racial equality.
Locking.
Grandmothers in the nursing homes, they had to say goodbye through plexiglass to their family members.
I mean, do they think we forgot who they are?
Do they really think they're going to be able to trick us?
Yeah, this scene.
It's so brilliant.
Literally, I'm watching with my son.
I want to be like, see, evil people will pretend to be weak to get an advantage on you.
Like, are you paying attention, son?
Yeah, you give them one instant of...
unidentified
Leeway.
harrison smith
And they stab you in the back.
That's who these people are, okay?
So, no lessening of the pressure.
We need to double down.
Not because we hate these people or we want to be cruel, but because we know who they are.
We know what they've done.
And again, you see people reacting to this kind of laughing at the Democrats and going, you know, did they not realize how mean they were being to us?
Like, did they really not?
Understand how vicious they've been to us for the past 10 years?
It's like, no, they realized they just thought they were going to be in charge forever.
They thought they'd won.
They were on the right side of history.
They thought it wouldn't matter how much they abused us.
They thought we were their prisoners.
They were the abusive prison guards.
And now the jail cells are open.
And we're in charge of the prison.
They're going to get what's coming to them, okay?
But they just have absolutely nothing.
And again, I found that clip with Jon Stewart, ironically, very funny.
I mean, it's the most depressing thing you've ever seen on Comedy Central.
But it's very funny to see them just like, nobody knows what to do.
And they're like, what we need is somebody passionate, a leader who can, I forget how he phrases it exactly.
We need a game plan.
An inspiring leader.
Everybody's like, yeah, yeah, we do.
And it's like, okay.
You want me to tell you some inspiring leaders that the Democrat Party had?
Bernie Sanders was pretty inspiring.
I mean, he was a good speaker.
He had some new ideas.
I don't like them.
They're socialism.
But if you're looking for a guy who sort of breaks the mold a little bit, your system crushed him utterly and turned him into a complete Shell.
And nobody has respect for her anymore.
You had Tulsi Gabbard.
She was pretty awesome, man.
She was really, she could have been a star in y'all's party.
But you crushed her.
And you kicked her out of the party.
And you betrayed her relentlessly.
You had RFK Jr. Scion of a legendary Democratic family.
Very inspiring dude.
Very passionate.
Could have easily led your party in a new and glorious direction.
You crushed him too.
Do they not understand that this is baked into their ideology?
It's not a fluke when it happens every single time.
The reason you don't have inspiring, you know, thinking outside the box kind of people is because when those people arise in your party, all of you crush them and destroy them and mock them and humiliate them.
What do you not understand about this?
I've been saying this since 2016 because people were surprised that Bernie Sanders submitted to Hillary Clinton.
His ideology is submission.
His ideology is top-down power, top-down control is the best organization.
That's what socialism is.
Do you think he's not going to do what his party leaders said?
That's his ideology.
If y'all don't like that, then why are you Democrats?
You're all like that.
You're all terrible.
To each other.
To everybody who's not you.
And then you think you're going to be in charge forever.
You think that your scar and the hyenas have taken over and the pride lands are yours.
But when someone comes back, you expect people to forget what you've done to them.
No, we're not forgetting.
And it's not that they didn't know what they were doing to us anyway.
They did it to us on purpose.
They did it to us deliberately, sickly, with just heartless abandon.
It was part of their strategy, you understand.
They weren't just being mean because it felt good.
There was obviously that as part of it.
But the other part of it was they thought they'd won and they thought it was time in the war to implement the humiliation phase of victory.
That comes after you achieve victory, right?
The Russians go in and rape every woman in Germany.
It's a humiliation ritual.
Because you want to not just say we beat you.
You want to put your enemy down so badly that psychologically they can't even imagine rising up against you again.
That's what they thought they were doing to us.
They thought they'd beaten us.
They thought they would implement the humiliation phase of their victory in which they did deliberately painful and harsh and unfriendly things to us because they thought that they were solidifying their victory and humiliating us on purpose.
For their own, you know, joy because they're bad people that like seeing their enemies in pain.
And because as a strategic method of diminishing our ability to come back in the future.
They underestimated us.
They thought the fire was out, but the ember was still burning, and now the forest is ablaze, okay?
We are back.
We are in charge now.
And we're not going to forget what you did to us, and we're not going to give you a chance to do it to us again, okay?
You blew it.
The Democrats absolutely blew it.
And now they just don't know what the hell to do.
This, I think, weirdly corresponds with this.
Clip number 12. Caroline Levitt shuts down CNN hack Caitlin Collins after whining about an AP reporter losing access over the Gulf of America.
Let's watch.
unidentified
Which White House official made the decision to bar the AP reporter from the Oval Office and the diplomatic reception room last night?
karoline leavitt
Well, first of all, let me just set the record straight.
It is a privilege to cover this White House.
It's a privilege to be the White House press secretary.
And nobody has the right to go into the Oval Office and ask the president of the United States questions.
That's an invitation that is given.
And there are hundreds of outlets on this campus.
Many of you in this room who don't have the privilege of being part of that pool every single day.
And getting to ask the president questions.
We reserve the right to decide who gets to go into the Oval Office.
And you all have credentials to be here, including the Associated Press, who is in this briefing room today.
unidentified
But isn't it retaliatory in nature, is the argument, because the reason that the AP was barred, which they said was because they're not using the phrase Gulf of America, they're using Gulf of Mexico in line with their standards.
And so the question here is, is this setting a precedent that this White House will retaliate against reporters who don't use the language that you guys believe?
Order should use and how does that align with...
The First Amendment commitment that you were just talking about.
karoline leavitt
I was very upfront in my briefing on day one that if we feel that there are lies being pushed by outlets in this room, we are going to hold those lies accountable.
And it is a fact that the body of water off the coast of Louisiana is called the Gulf of America.
And I'm not sure why news outlets don't want to call it that, but that is what it is.
The secretary of interior has made that the official designation and the geographical identification name server.
And Apple has recognized that.
Google has recognized that.
Pretty much every other outlet in this room has recognized that body of water as the Gulf of America.
And it's very important to this administration that we get that right, not just for people here at home, but also for the rest of the world.
unidentified
Sure.
Yeah, I just I love her.
harrison smith
I love Caroline Levitt.
Absolutely, absolutely amazing response.
Again, I see a continuity here.
I see a similarity where you've got these people who, they're the AP. They deserve a spot.
They're always going to have a spot.
And they get to say whatever they want, do whatever they want.
And they're used to nobody standing up against them, nobody doing anything to diminish their respectability.
So, you know, just go away.
You can just go away now and cry about it.
Because, you understand, it's like, they're like, really?
Just because we called it Gulf of Mexico and not Gulf of America, you're going to kick us out?
Isn't that a little overwrought?
Isn't that an overreaction?
And it's like, well, then just call it Gulf of America.
What's the big deal?
What's the big deal?
You're the one calling it Gulf of Mexico.
If it's not that big of a deal, then just call it Gulf of America.
It's not so hard, is it?
Zero tolerance.
I'm for zero tolerance of any of their shenanigans, again, because they think they can just get away with it.
They think they can just do whatever they want, say whatever they want, and that's just not true.
So we're setting it back.
We're setting things back to how they should be.
Let's go now to clip number 20. Here's, again, the press secretary talking about the liberal judges who push their own agenda rather than uphold the law.
Let's watch.
karoline leavitt
Now, before I take questions, I would like to address an extremely dishonest narrative that we've seen emerging over the past few days.
Many outlets in this room have been fear mongering the American people into believing there is a constitutional crisis.
Taking place here at the White House.
I've been hearing those words a lot lately.
But in fact, the real constitutional crisis is taking place within our judicial branch, where district court judges and liberal districts across the country are abusing their power to unilaterally block President Trump's basic executive authority.
harrison smith
That is the constitutional crisis.
The other constitutional crisis would be that unelected Of the communications of people in Congress and use it to blackmail them and convince them to do things they wouldn't otherwise normally do.
It's the fact that for a long time, powers inherent in the Congress have been taken by the executive branch.
There's been a lot of constitutional mischief going on in the United States government before Donald Trump.
Donald Trump is actually setting it right.
I want to go to clip number 18 here.
This is Milo Yiannopoulos.
On with Tim Pool, but it's just, he's exactly right.
He's exactly right in this.
Again, talking about just the way the Democrats are flailing right now and how they're responding to everything and how we can respond to them.
Here's Milo Yiannopoulos on how to talk to Democrats these days.
unidentified
There are two reactions that you're going to need over the next couple of years as a conservative who's looking at all the things that they're going to tell, all the people they say you're going to murder.
By the way, women are really bad at lying.
The UN said, oh, six million people are going to die because of dough.
Just like, get a new number.
I'm just saying.
There are two phrases you're going to need.
The first one is from Evelyn Waugh.
It was in a short story of his, about the middle of his career, and it's goodness.
How sad.
That's the first one.
And the other one is, it's a very unfortunate situation.
And depending on just how cruel you want to be, you can reply with either of these phrases to any of the things they say, any of the horrors that they say that you are creating by demanding that the Pentagon can pass an audit.
You say, goodness, how sad.
Or you say, yes, it's a very unfortunate situation.
And those two phrases will carry you through the next four years.
You're welcome.
harrison smith
He's exactly right.
That's if you want to pretend to show sympathy, you say those things.
Or you can take the J.D. Vance tack, which is just say, frankly, Margaret, I don't care.
Frankly, Margaret, I don't care that you're sad that I'm doing the right thing.
I'm going to keep doing the right thing.
As for an example of one of these situations where one could deploy these useful phrases.
Let's go to clip 21 here.
Here's one of the poor, innocent victims.
Of Donald Trump's Nazi regime.
Let's watch.
unidentified
I got a DHS letter in the mail this morning and I just now opened it.
And somebody reported me to the state of Michigan because I'm making money on TikTok and I drive a 2024 BMW. They have caught my- Food stamps from almost $4,000 a month down to $88 a month.
They are telling me if I want a review that I have to sell my car.
So you're telling me if you are on welfare, food stamps, cash assistance, section 8, you can't drive a nice car?
They're forcing me to sell my brand new BMWs or I lose almost $4,000 in food stamps.
Not only that, they have taken my cash assistance totally away.
They are telling me that Section 8 will no longer be paying 95% of my rent, only 10% of my rent.
So I will have to pay a little over $400 a month now instead of $60 a month.
It looks like the Doge got you too, boo.
harrison smith
Now, to be clear, I don't think this has anything to do with Doge because they didn't touch any of that type of stuff.
They should, and maybe they will eventually.
Sorry, let me practice this.
Oh, dear.
I'm so sorry for you.
I'm so sorry you're going through this.
I gotta say, this...
That video, it seems real to me as we watch it.
She doesn't seem like she's acting.
Maybe it's just my relentless optimism to think that there's no way.
There's no way this can be true, but who knows?
In other words, I could see people making this type of video as a parody, trying to get conservatives to...
Share it and be like, hi, you idiots.
You think that there are welfare queens that are getting $4,000 a month and driving new BMWs?
You don't know that's fake?
No, I'm pretty sure it's real.
I'm pretty sure it's real.
And that woman was getting $4,000 a month food stamps, had her rent paid for, and actually had a job and was making money driving a 2024 BMW and thinks that she's the victim?
She thinks that she's the victim.
You ever feel like a sucker?
You ever feel like an absolute tool?
Working?
Having a job?
$4,000 a month?
Free from the government?
And you're not even paying rent?
I'm going to have to sell my car.
I drive a brand new 2024 BMW. You ever stop thinking about the fact that people living off government assistance have nicer cars than you?
I mean, everything is just so utterly broken.
And so I guess they're having a time figuring out how to deal with the fact that the gravy train has ended.
But there's nothing to say, but I'm so sorry you're going through this.
But I'm not.
And again, I don't think that has anything to do with Doge.
I think just somebody reported her for collecting welfare $4,000 a month when she has a job.
These people, man.
I'm telling you, it's those people.
And again, the Democrats just have absolutely no concept of what to do with this.
Let's just keep going into just the absolute incredible ways.
Clip 22 here, the Doge subcommittee.
Found $2.7 trillion in improper payments in Medicare and Medicaid overseas.
Let's watch.
karoline leavitt
Brian.
unidentified
Yes.
I want to go back to Doe just for a second.
Earlier, the subcommittee headed by Chairman Marjorie Taylor Greene, her and her staff discovered $2.7 trillion in improper payments.
Medicare, Medicaid, overseas, to people who should not have gotten it.
Some of this room might have missed that press conference.
Can you elaborate on what the president is thinking at this point?
karoline leavitt
Well, again, that's another example.
There's a very long list of the fraud, waste, and abuse that Doge is identifying on a daily basis.
Elon Musk also talked about yesterday about Social Security payments that are going out the door for people who are no longer with us.
Unfortunately, I would say that is certainly a fraud.
There's also a lot of contracts.
I identified that, just as a hypothetical example, are a million bucks, but only 500,000 went out the door.
So where's the rest of that cash?
And so those are the things that Doge is working on every single day.
And I would just remind everybody in this room, this is what President Trump campaigned on doing.
He's delivering on a promise that 77 million people elected him to do.
harrison smith
Absolutely.
But remember, it's not incompetence.
It's not that these people are trying their best.
It is deliberate fraud.
It is criminal activity.
Let's go now to clip number 29. Here's the reality about what Doge found in the Social Security fraud.
unidentified
So Elon, a.k.a.
Harry Balls, uncovered in Social Security not just waste and abuse, but what now looks like an epic amount of criminal fraud.
As he posted, the Social Security database was not deduplicated, meaning it had no firewalls or security system in it to eliminate duplicate numbers.
So they were putting a load of people on the same Social Security number.
Right?
Some numbers were being duplicated as many as 10,000 times.
So let's just take one of those and you got 10,000 people now having Social Security withheld from their checks and going into Social Security, right?
You would think that.
Well, if that was the case, Social Security should be flush with money because the way it was set up, it would only pay out on one number, but you had hundreds of thousands paying in.
Where is all the money?
Here's where the fraud comes in.
The way the system was set up, that when one number had Social Security payment put into it, it only accepted one payment into the Social Security fund.
Any duplicate number that paid in automatically took that money and diverted it to a secondary slush fund.
So all the duplicate numbers weren't paying into Social Security.
Somebody's f***ing robbing it.
The awesome part is, is money leaves a trail.
You know, you can't move that s*** around without a f***ing trail.
Somebody's going to f***ing jail.
Somebody's in some f***ing jail.
So here's the bigger part where it ties to the open borders.
You open up the borders, you just down there handing out social security numbers, as has been reported multiple times.
And all that money, then, that is taken out for Social Security.
harrison smith
So again, not fraud, not mistake, deliberate criminal activity.
Musk claims there are 150-year-olds receiving Social Security benefits.
Trump will be giving a presser later today where he'll name some of the people benefiting from this criminal activity.
And when we get back on the other side of this short commercial break, we will tune in to the confirmation hearing with RFK Jr. set to begin at 9.30 Central Time.
Stay with us.
Go to Infowarsstore.com and thealexjonesstore.com to support everything that we do here.
unidentified
All right, welcome back, folks.
harrison smith
We're going to be keeping an eye on the confirmation hearing of RFK Jr. taking place in the Senate right now.
We'll keep you up to date on that.
The crew is keeping an eye on it and will bring me any updates as they come.
But we're going to continue to talk about sort of what the Democrats are going through right now.
unidentified
Cause I've been in and out alone Thank you.
harrison smith
I think it's worth it to just think back to the first Trump administration where it was a constant deluge.
Of fabricated scandals.
And you can go in the Wayback Machine, pull up the CNN front page for any day in the four years of Trump's first presidency.
And it was scandals that you forgot even happened.
But at the time, we're all consuming, right?
Just random, weird stuff.
It was constant, right?
It was constant attacks, constant impeachments and scandal.
You know, AOC crying at the border over kids in cages, even though the pictures from the Obama administration was just like relentless hoaxes.
One after the other, after the other, after the other.
They're so unused to being on the back foot and actually being the one having to respond to things rather than being the ones who set the agenda.
They really have absolutely nothing to push back on.
The things that they are pointing out now are so pathetic that it's actually kind of funny.
Like, you know, when it comes to J.T. Vance, this person feraled Jor to commentary on X. It says, honestly incredible that J.D. Vance managed to F up theology so bad that the F-ing Pope had to issue a statement saying he got it wrong.
That's like F-ing up your science fair model rocket so badly the administrator of NASA asked to issue a statement calling you out on it.
Okay, good one, dude.
Okay.
Good point.
What are you talking about?
So this is what they've been forced to...
To rely on now is they're like, the Pope had a theological difference with J.D. Vance, so that's what a big F-up he is.
It's like, first of all, the Pope's a communist, so not surprising.
He's an open-border communist.
He lives in a giant castle, so it's not exactly practice what you preach going on here.
But who cares?
And at the end of the day, what this whole...
Conversation is about, in case you don't know what this guy is even referencing, essentially J.D. Vance referenced some Latin phrase from the church fathers about sort of your circle of care and whether you owe fealty and allegiance to your family over foreigners and strangers.
And the answer is obviously yes, but of course the Pope is an open borders communist and is hijacking Catholicism for his own ends.
And came out to rebuke J.D. Vance for his interpretation.
You don't need to know Latin, okay?
You don't need a doctorate in theology.
This is the most basic, not even human, but just animal behavior.
We really are at a point where we're having to explain to Democrats...
That caring about your family over a total stranger is not a bad thing.
That you should prioritize your family over not your family.
And for a second, I'm like, I think we've hit the bottom.
I think this is rock bottom.
This is the bedrock.
You can't go much more distorted and inhuman than this.
Because we've taken steps to get here.
I mean, when you're sitting here having to explain that men and women are distinct, separate, different, and not interchangeable, you think, okay, this is crazy.
This is as far as it's gotten, right?
There's no way we can get farther than having to explain basic binary biology, sex, and reproduction to people.
You would think, you know.
This is like explaining the sky is blue.
It can't get much worse than that.
But then we go down another step where we're like, yeah, you should prioritize your children over an African dude you've never met yet.
And you would think maybe this is the floor.
Maybe this is the bedrock.
But if there's anything we've learned from the leftists and the Democrats, there is no bedrock.
There is no lowest...
Common denominator, lowest end that they can reach.
They will always go lower.
Because I'm sitting here going, you know, this is the most unnatural thing I've ever heard.
They're actually arguing that it's wrong to prioritize your family.
Okay?
It's not complicated.
This is just, again, not even human.
It's like the Jordan Peterson thing where he brings up lobsters to be like, this is how instinctual and basic and natural things like hierarchy are, is even invertebrates.
Understand hierarchy at a genetic level.
It's how natural, and this isn't a creation of society, this is natural.
You prioritize your family, you then prioritize your extended family, then you prioritize your friends and your acquaintances, and then your city, and then your country, and eventually we get down the line to caring about the rest of the world or rocks on other planets.
Leftists have an inverted Uh, position on that.
Uh, Schumer is attacking RFK as we speak.
We should go to it.
We should, we should bring in that hearing and go to a live if we can.
chuck schumer
The fact that we're here right now, that we're even here right now, voting on this wildly unqualified conspiracy theorist.
harrison smith
Oh, he's a conspiracy theorist.
chuck schumer
One of the most life or death jobs, HHS secretary charged with protecting the health.
harrison smith
Oh, yeah?
Well, what's he going to do?
Lose 300,000 children?
It's not a very high bar to get over.
As long as he doesn't lose a quarter million children in the interior of this country, he'll be doing better than the previous guy.
chuck schumer
My colleagues on the other side of the aisle, I implore you, think one more time.
One last time.
harrison smith
One last time.
chuck schumer
My colleagues on the Republican side, you know the consequences of what you're doing.
unidentified
Health, sunshine, straight frogs.
chuck schumer
You know how dangerous this is.
harrison smith
So dangerous.
chuck schumer
My colleagues on the other side, you know you are not putting your constituents, their health, their families first when you vote yes.
To quote my colleague, the junior senator from Texas just a few years ago.
He said, quote, we need an expert.
We need a scientist.
harrison smith
Oh, yeah.
Nothing over the last 10 years would make anybody question the efficacy of experts and scientists, right?
You've done this to yourselves.
You know, it's like when people say, you know, you come up with something different for the Middle East.
And they go, well, that could be chaotic.
It's like, have you looked over there recently?
They really can't do worse.
I don't know who needs to take charge.
Whatever they do, it's not going to be as bad as what's already happening.
So, what's the big threat here?
HHS, Health and Human Services, has presided over the most devastating downturn of American health in world history.
We've gone from being a fairly healthy country 40 years ago to being the symbol of unhealthiness.
To being the fattest, sickest, saddest, lowest...
You know, life expectancy country in the world.
What's RFK Jr. going to do to mess that up, right?
I mean, what's he going to do?
What's he going to do that's so bad that hasn't already been done?
I mean, the DHS, Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, blamed HHS. He said, well, all of those kids that got lost, we handed them all off to HHS. So I'm not even being facetious.
If the last guys lost over a quarter million children into sex slavery and human trafficking, never to be seen again, what do you think RFK Jr. is going to do?
I mean, if RFK Jr. can keep his child death count from direct, you know, his direct responsibility, not just in some vague, like, well, lots of people will die because of sickness.
Like, no, no.
They were the lawful...
They were the lawful caregivers to these children who they lost.
A quarter million plus of them.
300,000.
Like 80,000 have been found now.
Is he going to screw up worse than that?
I don't think that's possible.
I think as long as his immediate responsibility, he doesn't kill a quarter million children, he'll be doing significantly better than the last guy's.
Color me a little skeptical of Chuck Schumer's feigned You know, care about the health and safety and wellness of the American people while it's been systematically dismantled under the previous regimes.
Let's go back to old Chucky, shall we?
unidentified
Mr. Sullivan.
harrison smith
Oh, he's done?
Oh, that was it?
All right, they're taking votes now?
All right, the votes are being counted for RFK Jr. I pray to God he gets accepted despite that rousing and convincing speech by Senator Hamburger there.
unidentified
Mr. Tuberville.
harrison smith
You know, while they're counting this...
Let's go ahead and go to a video that mentions Chuck Schumer.
Clip 28. Again, this is the theme of today's show, is the Democrats are flailing hilariously and asking questions they should have asked 10 years ago, coming to conclusions that we've been desperately trying to tell them for decades.
Like when Jon Stewart's like, we can still have border security and law and order.
They don't need to be so mean to us.
It's like, well, no, apparently we do.
No, apparently we do.
We didn't want to be this mean to you.
We wanted you to be sensible.
We wanted you to provide us with just the bare, basic, minimum responsibility of the government, protecting the border, keeping criminals off the street.
You called us names for that and then shoved an intubation tube down our throats and kept the family outside while you killed us.
So shut up.
So just shut up.
Oh, now you want to play.
And the same thing's happening with NATO, by the way, with the Ukraine peace talks.
We deserve a spot at the table.
You had that chance.
You had the chance to be reasonable.
You had the chance to bring about peace.
You had a chance to get most of what you wanted and just give us a little bit of what we wanted.
And all of this could have been fine.
You people are psychopaths.
You people are extremists.
You people refuse to be reasonable at all about anything because you thought you were going to be in charge forever and thought you would never pay the You know, experience the consequences of your actions.
Now you are.
Shut the hell up.
And again, they're desperately trying to figure out how to deal with this.
And the answer that they refuse to acknowledge is the other part.
They could acknowledge their failures if they were human beings.
If they had conscience and a spirit, then they could have a real thoughtful discussion and say, you know what?
Maybe we treated these people badly.
Maybe we should.
Roll that back.
Maybe being such relentless pricks wasn't a good move in the long run, and that's our fault.
They could have some real introspective moments and come out on the other side ready to engage with politics, but there's something about them that doesn't allow that.
I explained it yesterday.
I'll explain it again.
It's because their ideology is a top-down, system-first ideology where They're like a cult member.
Their belief structure is superlative, and when reality contradicts their ideology, reality has to be destroyed.
Reality has to be changed, not their ideology.
That is permanent and unchanging.
I mean, it changes a lot.
They believe things now that they thought were ridiculous 10 years ago, but that core idea of the system that we believe in, the communistic, Government-sponsored, you know, power-comes-from-on-high sort of ideology has to be right.
And so they can't acknowledge that they were wrong or else their whole belief system crumbles.
It's the reason why the Holodomor happened in Ukraine, right?
Because the communists believed our system's better, we'll have more food.
So they'd make all of these...
You know, schedules saying we'll have this much food because obviously once we get rid of the greedy Kulaks, then we'll be just drowning in grain.
Of course, that's completely wrong.
The opposite happens.
There's no food, but they still confiscate enough food to meet the expectations of their system being so superior.
And so you steal food from everybody and they all die.
But at the end of the day, your metrics have been fulfilled.
Your imagination about the superiority of communism.
Will be maintained because you see how much grain we got?
Ignore all of the starving to death peasants.
We got enough grain.
Communism is superior.
They will literally kill you or themselves rather than admit that they were wrong, that the system is flawed, and that they need major changes.
In this same line, let's go to clip 28. Here's some Democrats trying to figure out who the most masculine Democrat is.
Let's watch.
unidentified
Who is the most masculine Democrat right now in America?
Mayor Pete.
Is that a gay joke?
No, no.
Mayor Pete.
No.
Well, no.
It's just that he's not particularly masculine.
Nobody's like, oh, Mayor Pete, he's a badass.
Chuck Schumer?
Is anybody like, hey, you know, Chuck Schumer holding up an avocado and a beer to talk about the Super Bowl?
Is anybody like that trying to grill?
Is anybody like, hey, that's a dude I want to hang out with?
But Trump's like a grandpa.
Well, hold on.
Yeah.
Trump took a bullet in his ear and immediately stood up and said, fight, fight, fight.
Every man in America and most of the women out here were impressed by that, even if the women won't admit it.
She's shaking her head strong.
harrison smith
Who's the most masculine Democrat?
It's probably John Fetterman, if you want to know the truth.
It's definitely not David Hogg.
Might be Maxine Waters.
She's got a sort of manly aggressiveness to her.
All right, let's go back to this vote.
RF11 knows 17 yes is the current count.
Obviously, the Senate is 100 senators.
He needs to get at least 50. And by the way, I got it wrong yesterday.
We were reporting the results of Tulsi Gabbard.
Yeah, that was the cloture vote for RFK. Well, we thought it was a split, but that was misreported.
It was somebody saying it looks like it's going to be split, and if that's the case, J.D. Vance will have to come back from Paris to cast the tiebreaker.
So we don't know if it's going to be—we don't know how close it's going to be.
Obviously, he got through cloture 53 to 47, which should pave the way for similar numbers for his confirmation.
So let's go—let's bring in the audio here as the senators vote one by one.
unidentified
Mr. Cassidy.
Aye.
harrison smith
20 yes, 13 no's so far.
The ayes are maintaining.
So 20 yes, 13 no.
We're a little less than halfway through the vote here for the confirmation of RFK Jr. Hey, there's a masculine guy who was a Democrat.
RFK Jr. He's a very masculine dude.
He's working out.
He's cheating on his wife.
He's taking Methyl and Blue by the droppers full.
Bernie Sanders was a no, huh?
He was a no on Tulsi Gabbard too, even though Tulsi Gabbard went out of her way to be loyal to Bernie Sanders throughout his entire presidential campaign.
He stabbed her in the back.
Brasso I. Leftists by nature are traitors.
I think this is what I'm trying to get across here.
A couple no's coming through.
Is there a way to have just an ongoing count?
Do we have a graphic that we could find?
We don't have one.
Well, it's okay.
I'd rather have something that I can just sort of glance at and look up at because, you know, these votes.
Can take a little while.
I wonder if we'll have a conclusion here before the commercial break.
We're about six minutes from the commercial break, and I imagine we'll get a conclusion probably shortly before the next hour, or at the beginning of next hour.
What's the current vote?
We're 20 yes, 13 no previously.
We've had a couple more no's in the meantime.
24 yes, 16 no.
So we're, again, a little less than halfway through this vote.
We'll keep an eye on it.
And when we get closer to the end, we'll bring you some updated numbers here.
I still have a lot of videos to get to.
Let's do this one.
Let's go to clip 15 here while the Democrats try to end the career of RFK Jr. Which, yeah, you want a masculine leader with the background to be a powerful champion for the Democratic cause?
You had one.
His name was RFK Jr. You changed the rules to screw him out of a nomination.
Totally scuttled his efforts to legitimately be elected in your party and made him an enemy of yours.
So that's what happens to masculine people in the Democratic Party.
I bet John Fetterman joins the Republicans.
At some point, because anybody showing the masculine tendency to stand up against the crowd, to reject what he's being told, to go out on a limb or do something that's not co-signed by the majority, then you all eat him like piranhas.
So that's what happened to all the masculine men in your party.
You consumed them like a demon.
So let's go to clip 15 where we see Jamie Raskin, not a particularly masculine or even human person, being absolutely humiliated by a small business owner.
Let's watch.

I've been living in the US since 1998 and I became a US citizen in 2018. I'm also an author of The Heart of a Cheetah, a book that talks about African entrepreneurship and prosperity.
Mr. Raskin, your words earlier really, really worried me, and I will tell you why.
When you say we are here and we should be here to talk about Mr. Elon Musk and all the unconstitutional things that he's doing, and you said we shouldn't be here to talk about regulation or anything like that.
First of all, I want to say, then, why did you have me here?
As an entrepreneur, my time is valuable.
I came here because I thought we were going to talk about the regulatory state and why it matters.
So you need to make up your mind on that, and I'm deeply offended by what you said there.
Furthermore, I would tell you why I came when I was invited to speak on this.
Because right now, everybody in this country, these issues of regulation, overregulation, has been made into a matter of partisanship.
Are you from the left or are you from the right?
I don't care.
Because where I come from, the overregulation causes us to be where we are.
My continent, Africa, is the poorest region in the world today because it happens to be the most overregulated region in the world.
So if you don't see the value of overregulation, if you need and want to wait until this country becomes like most African countries, I don't know.
I love this country and I don't want to see it go down there.
And also, just so you know, what does overregulation mean for regular people?
It means death.
Death, literally.
People are packing themselves into little fishermen's boats, trying to leave nations that are over-regulated, therefore no jobs, and then they have to leave and go seek jobs someplace else.
harrison smith
I love her.
I love her.
And I love that she just humiliated Jamie Raskin.
She's like, what are you talking about, sir?
We're here for something important, and you're talking about Elon Musk?
Why did you bring me up here to do this?
By the way, her name is Maggot Wade.
M-A-G-A-T-T-E. Her name is literally MAGA. With two T's and an E at the end.
Yeah, Democrats are struggling.
Let's just say that.
Alright, we have a floor count now.
A vote count with a graphic, I understand.
The RFK Jr. confirmation hearing is taking place.
28 yay, 22 nay.
So the yeses are still ahead by 6. As we are at...
A little over halfway through the count now.
All right, we're halfway through this vote.
Another yay, 29, nay, 22. You know, and this is the other part that maybe doesn't get talked about enough.
It's not just that Trump got elected.
It's that the Senate and the Congress got elected Republican as well.
So much of what Trump has been able to do is because...
The Democrats have not been able to interfere and interrupt in his process through parliamentary tricks, senatorial or congressional interference on the executive branch.
So, again, it's so much better than it ever would have been in 2020. And luckily it seems like the Republicans in office, despite their efforts to remain ignorant, are learning the lesson.
That the American people are trying to teach them.
You have to go along with our agenda.
You have to actually be America first.
You have to actually support President Trump.
We're not accepting honorable defeat anymore.
We're not accepting John McCain coming in at the last second to cast the deciding vote against Trump's agenda.
That's over.
It's done.
The old guard mostly are dead and those that are still clinging on barely.
By their claws to power like Mitch McConnell will soon be out of office.
And if they don't get their act together, it'll be sooner rather than later.
Meaning they'll be voted out sooner rather than later.
Calm down, everyone.
We'll return to this on the other side.
We'll have Ian Carroll in studio to watch the results with us.
Don't go anywhere, folks.
It's the American Journal.
Go to thealexjonesstore.com slash Harrison to support us and let us know.
Let them know who sent you the RFK Jr. results on the other side.
unidentified
This is the darkest of conspiracy theories.
The darkest of conspiracy theories was that the leak was intentional.
The darkest of conspiracy theories is that this was planned.
They knew this was going to be a financial windfall.
It is the greatest transfer of wealth in the history of the United States by far from the working class to the elite.
It's like three plus, what, trillion dollars or something crazy like that?
mike benz
Yeah.
unidentified
We've already established.
That it was created in a lab.
We already established that USAID funded it.
We already established that Fauci et al.
lied about gain-of-function research, what they were doing.
The worst theory possible is that this was released on purpose.
mike benz
Yeah, that would be the worst case scenario.
unidentified
Have you ever danced that one around your head?
Because that's where you...
We know they're willing to do horrible, evil shit, but is there a...
mike benz
Even now to this day, having spent so much of my life in it, I try to just pursue the leads that I have and then try to let the conclusions come to me.
Certainly the fact that they funded the capacity to do this, they worked directly with all the networks that were both doing it and censoring it, Puts you pretty much as, you know, they created it and they covered up at least the leak.
In terms of the intentionality for doing it, that is a really dark scenario.
There are a lot of things in American history that have that same, you know...
Mi-ha-li-ha distinction.
Do they make it happen or do they let it happen?
Do they let it happen or do they make it happen?
And both of them are major scandals that completely change the legitimacy and credibility of policy changes in response to the crisis, for example.
Take something like Pearl Harbor, right?
It's been declassified now, the McCollum Memo, the Eight Action Plan.
Are you familiar with this?
Yes.
And this was written before the bombing, and it was eight ways to get Japan to attack us because we don't have diplomatic cover to declare war on them.
If we get them to attack us, and we can then spiral that into a war predicate.
I mean, the same thing, for example, with the Northwoods memo, with pretext to war with Cuba, and cooking up all these, hijacking our own planes, sinking our own ships, doing riots on the streets of Miami, and then saying that it was the Cuban government behind it.
Same thing with Vietnam, Gulf of Tonkin.
Same thing with the weapons of mass destruction, predicate for invading Iraq.
Did we know that that was...
Did we...
harrison smith
All right, folks, that's Mike Vins on Joe Rogan.
Here in studio to cover with me is Ian Carroll.
I don't have a character sheet for you.
I don't have information for you.
Ian, welcome to the show.
ian carroll
Good to see you again, man.
It's good to be in studio with you.
That clip...
Is a great clip to play because A, it's amazing, but also it's so tepid from them.
harrison smith
Yeah, hesitant.
ian carroll
Yeah.
harrison smith
Why won't they say it?
Should we say it right now?
It was created in a lab and released on purpose.
COVID was released on purpose, folks.
You don't need to be shy about saying this.
Why are they so tepid?
ian carroll
I mean, I know, like Mike Benz, I understand why he's tepid because that's kind of his MO is he talks about what he can prove and he kind of is very tepid about.
But Joe is free to speculate.
He has freedom of speech.
And we know that they had the deception about the lab leak ready to go at day one.
As you just mentioned earlier, that they had actually done scenarios and talked about what do we do if they talk about lab leak.
harrison smith
In Event 201, they ran the scenario.
Well, what if people say it came from a lab?
And that could make people question science, and then they might not get vaccines.
So how do we counteract that disinformation before it was even known?
Look, if you look at all of the evidence, like I always say, if you look at a murder case and you have a suspect lying about something, it's a red flag.
They lied about the lab leak for four years until we...
Basically, you know, it wasn't feasible to lie about it anymore.
It came, it was leaked on purpose, folks.
Look at all the evidence.
It's the only thing that makes sense.
It was leaked on purpose.
The RFK confirmation vote on the other side.
More with Ian Carroll this hour.
Stay with us.
Welcome back.
Ladies and gentlemen, third hour of American Journal is on.
I'm your host, Harrison Smith.
In studio with me is Ian Carroll.
You can follow him on X at Ian Carroll Show.
That's Carroll spelled C-A-R-R-O-L-L. And how else can people find you?
ian carroll
I do have a website called cancelthisclothingcompany.com where I've got some links.
I've got a whole bunch of resources to shop small family founder-owned businesses.
But really, X is the place to connect with me.
That's where I'm voicing my opinions the most and sharing the most of my stuff.
I'm on Instagram and TikTok.
harrison smith
I was going to say, you're a big TikTok star.
I hate TikTok so much.
ian carroll
TikTok can just kick rocks.
harrison smith
We are monitoring the RFK confirmation vote.
The current total is 38 yes.
29, no.
So, you know, the yeses have it at this point.
39, yay.
30, nay.
It's going to be close.
What's your prediction about the outcome here?
ian carroll
I mean, how would I know beyond what we've been hearing?
And we've been hearing that it's going to pass.
And like last night, there were senators, pro-RFK senators, coming out of the halls and updating us around midnight, saying that they feel confident that it's going to pass.
There was the reporting yesterday that they were going to need J.D. Vance to break the tie.
But at this point, it feels confirmed in my mind, and I'm going to be so let down and angry if it's not, because this is the most overwhelming support for a position that we've ever had.
Not to mention just overwhelming attention for a position.
harrison smith
Exactly, yeah.
ian carroll
This entire process of Trump selecting cabinet members ever since months before he was actually in office has felt like...
Like, watching the NFL draft.
But, like, we've never seen the American public engage with political appointments and just the process in this way ever in my lifetime.
And it's really encouraging.
harrison smith
Absolutely.
That's so funny.
My sister used that exact thing because she's like, I've never...
I didn't even know this is how it worked.
But she's like, now I'm watching it like the NBA draft or something.
ian carroll
It's almost like our republic is healing and people are reengaging with the democratic process when you allow free speech and you restore the ideals that our republic was founded on.
harrison smith
But how strange is it that all of this attention, all of this support is going to two people who until like...
Last year, we're Democrats.
I mean, RFK Jr. was running on the Democratic ticket, and yet now, Democrats are throwing him under the bus.
So, I mean, is this just a total shattering of the two-party system?
Like, what do you think comes from this, and what do you think explains this?
I mean, it's uncharted territory in American politics.
ian carroll
I mean, this is just my opinion, and I am a former Democrat.
I'm on the same train of exiting as Tulsi, RFK, and all these other people.
And my opinion about it is that over time, the intelligence communities...
The...
Subversives in our government slowly weaseled their way deeper and deeper and deeper into the Democratic Party.
Because when I was a kid, they were really focused on controlling the Republican Party during the Iraq War era.
They've certainly had their hands in both parties for a very long time, but as they've worked their way into this narrative of obey or die in the Democrat Party, and that coincides with things like the trans-agenda rising, the Black Lives Matter movements rising, all of these semi-cult religious follow-it-to-the-letter-or-you're-out ideologies.
That don't square with rationality.
They don't square with logical thinking and genuine discussion.
They don't square with American ideals, intellectual ideals.
And so inherently when you get deeper and deeper into this just propaganda machine of intelligence agency talking points, real rational Democrats are going to ask a question.
And the moment you ask a question in that environment, you get...
This really cultish non-response that is basically shut up and toe the line.
And so there's really no world where you can control the party through those methods and not alienate all the most powerful, intelligent people within it.
And I think we're just watching the slow walk over time of a sort of underthought control mechanism engaging with the modern digital age of free information sharing that...
The two cannot coexist simultaneously.
harrison smith
Right.
Which is why they love censorship.
I mean, we point it out all the time.
Anywhere that's not controlled from on high that doesn't deliberately censor the right wing becomes right wing.
You open up Twitter to everybody, it becomes right wing.
You go on 4chan where anybody can post anything, it becomes right wing without censorship.
So that's why they require, and not just censorship, but total censorship.
Because even just that one person asking that question, that one person making that point sort of shatters the whole paradigm.
So they have to have...
Total control.
And it's interesting that you reference the war in Iraq and stuff and how the Republican Party used to be sort of more of the focus of the intelligence.
Because both parties have the extremist sort of branch of their party.
And on the right, it would be the libertarian sort of small government extremism and liberty is no sin, as Goldwater said.
But sort of the extremist in that regard.
On the left, the extreme...
And so it seems like the Democrats have been taken over by their...
I don't know.
Path to failure over the last 50 years are being ousted.
So it's interesting the way that that has shifted.
I hadn't thought about that yet.
ian carroll
Certainly each party has its own, like when you look at the core values of each party, they have their own aspects that play well to propaganda, control, and kind of mass manipulation of the public.
And in the left wing, inherently it's that extreme leftist Marxist fringe that, you know, it's...
For a long time throughout history, it would have been very hard to convince the American people to have anything to do with that.
But as we've walked people closer and closer and closer, like that...
Far left wing is very enticing to these oligarchs, these globalists.
Whereas the right wing, you don't want that right wing fringe.
You don't want that super nationalist, like, except as a controlled opposition to make the right wing look bad.
Like, during the war in Iraq, it was like all these centrist neocons that are just like the core of this, like, fake Republican blob that are really just beholden to big money.
And so I think that it's not inherent that they're using the same tactics on both parties.
But when they're like when one party is in power for a certain reason and they have their claws in it, they'll do one thing on the right and they'll do a different thing on the left.
harrison smith
Yeah.
ian carroll
And it's just really astounding to see how far they're willing to go with the left and how far leftists are willing to walk with them before they say no more.
harrison smith
Well, yeah.
And I wonder if they didn't sort of lose control of the, you know, the classic sorcerer's apprentice thing where they created this, this, you know, communistic sort of trend in the Democratic Party.
And now they're I think they're kind of trying to pull it back.
And it's like, no, it's out of your control now.
You drop the remote.
ian carroll
Yeah.
Inherently, when you start to play, I think that, you know, though they are very, very smart, they have a lot of players.
They've got infinite money and they've got infinite control mechanisms throughout all their power networks.
I think that inherently, how could you be equipped to predict how these...
Like, old propaganda methods, subversion methods, COINTELPRO methods, how could you predict how those are going to play in a modern digital age with platforms like Twitter?
And the ability for, like, I'm a great example.
I'm literally just a random person from America that started to wonder what was going on, started to research it, share it online, and two years later I have a platform of millions of people and I can, like, actively change the political landscape as a normal American citizen.
That is something that the intelligence state was not prepared for because such...
Suddenly, how are you going to buy off or control or blackmail just all these different ventures?
harrison smith
It's a lot easier when there's five television stations and you own all of them.
All right, let's get an update on the count here.
RFK Jr. confirmation vote.
Coming in, and we should be coming up close to the end here.
What's the official vote now?
We got 42, yay.
37, nay.
It's looking good.
43, yay.
44, yay.
ian carroll
Let's go.
harrison smith
All right.
We're six away, folks.
ian carroll
It's going to happen.
harrison smith
Five away.
Oh, my God.
We're racking them up here.
unidentified
All right.
harrison smith
45, yay.
37, nay.
46, yay.
Okay.
ian carroll
And, Harrison, I made a point yesterday when I was talking to a friend about RFK that, you know, all the stuff that's happened so far, Since Trump has been in office that has been- Awesome.
Just so much winning in so many directions.
And there are some things that I have problems with.
But in general, like what Doge is doing is amazing.
Most of these executive orders are amazing.
Most of these appointments are amazing.
And we don't even have RFK in position yet.
So a huge amount of what we're excited about has not even begun.
Not to mention Cash Patel.
Not even there yet.
And so I am just kind of like, I'm going to be really honest.
I was pretty lukewarm on my expectations of what this is.
I don't hate Trump.
I'm totally down with him in position way more than what we had the last four years.
But I was expecting a pretty mediocre delivery on promises.
What so far...
Every promise, like, I mean, not every promise, but so far it has been, like, deliver on promise after promise.
harrison smith
It feels like he's been president for four years.
It's been less than a month.
ian carroll
And the icing on that cake is having Carolyn Levitt...
Like, legitimately impressive young woman in charge of the pulpit to tell, to like, not only tell the American people what's going on, but also to just slap the lying press in the face with facts and with documents.
It's so refreshing to see her.
harrison smith
Guys, let's keep the count up because we're two votes away here from 50. All it needs is 51. All it needs is a simple majority.
But you're exactly right.
You know what it's like is when you...
When you watch an old Superman cartoon and I'll watch it with my son, he starts getting scared because it's like, oh no, the bad guys are winning.
It's like, son, you know Superman always wins.
He always comes in.
He always kicks butt.
You never even really have to worry about it.
That's how I feel with Caroline Levitt, where you see some headline where it's like, she gets asked some question, and you think, oh, gee, I'm not sure.
I'm not sure how I would answer that.
You know, they might have got her on this one, and then she just nails it with the perfect response.
And it's like, okay, I don't even have to worry.
We're just going to watch Superman.
All right, folks, we are one vote away from 50, which would give us the win, because there it is, 50. RFK Jr. officially.
We'll be confirmed as the Secretary of Health and Human Services, even if it becomes 50-50.
J.D. Vance would be the tie-breaking vote, which means we're at 51. So there it is, folks.
RFK Jr. of California is now the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
We're coming for you, Big Pharma.
ian carroll
It is officially Make America Healthy Again season, and we could not be happier.
Oh, my goodness.
harrison smith
Amazing.
What are you most looking forward to with RFK Jr. as the head?
ian carroll
In the immediate future, I am most looking forward to watching Rachel Maddow chill for Big Pharma every night.
As the ship sinks and burns around her.
In the distant future, in a serious way, what I'm most hopeful for and excited about, and this is a big goal, but I am hopeful for a shift towards regenerative agriculture in this country so that that way we are not using Roundup Ready corn and other patented GMO products from companies like Monsanto that are designed in order to allow farmers,
farmers, if you can even call them that at this point, to just spray fields with insane amounts of pesticides and chemicals that are toxic to us, which causes it to be that when I go to the grocery store and try to buy some tortillas or some bread or eat some pizza,
all of that is full of just insanely high amounts of Roundup all of that is full of just insanely high amounts of Roundup and other chemicals that are causing all these gluten allergies, causing all these intolerances, and basically causing the majority of the food in America to be poisoned to the point where the carnivore diet is extremely popular these days because it's just not full of all But you go to Europe and it's not poison.
You go to these other countries, it's not poison.
harrison smith
It's not necessary for us to do it.
It's a choice that we're making that's totally not required.
And the downstream effects of that will be incredible because obviously all of these things sort of exist in feedback loops where you poison the food, it's unhealthy, people feel sick, they go to the doctor, they get a pharmaceutical prescription.
That has side effects that require other ones.
So it's impossible for me to even understand how...
The food system in this country has destroyed us.
Now it's changed America.
And it will be beautiful just seeing what happens next as this trash...
ian carroll
It's a good full circle to what you were talking about earlier on the show about turning the frogs gay, the transgender, the insane spike in transgenderism, which certainly would have nothing to do with a whole bunch of reprotoxic and endocrine-destructive chemicals in our food and water supplies, but also to the SSRI phenomenon, because what happens when you have a serious mental health crisis and then you allow big pharma to just go willy-nilly with drugs that are not properly tested and not properly disclosed?
Right, because there's...
harrison smith
This is, I think, one of the psyops that's been so successful over the last hundred years is separating mental and physical health when in reality they're one and the same, right?
ian carroll
And spiritual health.
harrison smith
And spiritual, exactly, right.
These are all facets of the same time.
By the way, if you're just joining us, I just want to say it again, RFK Jr. has been confirmed.
He is the HHS secretary, right?
I didn't jump the gun on that, right?
InfoWars, again, will be the first to call results like we were on election day, but...
That's it.
There he is.
ian carroll
That's all, folks.
harrison smith
Get in the car.
We're making America healthy again.
ian carroll
Someone find Anthony Fauci.
Make sure he's not on a plane right now.
Make sure Anthony Fauci's in the country.
Someone confiscate his Blackberry and his laptop, please.
harrison smith
100%.
ian carroll
So, one thing that my friend pointed out on a podcast last night is that you remember when Hillary Clinton's email servers got leaked?
harrison smith
Oh, yeah.
ian carroll
That was a leak, right?
But RFK Jr. has just inherited all the documentation of all of what has happened within all of the agencies underneath HHS, correct?
harrison smith
Right.
ian carroll
And so, unless they've tried to bleach a bunch of servers and delete a bunch of files and emails, I'm assuming that there's a whole bunch of evidence of crime in the digital signature of that agency.
harrison smith
Right.
ian carroll
And so, I can only imagine what kind of, and I would imagine that...
RFK probably already knows where he's trying to look.
He's very familiar with the lobbyists.
He's very familiar with this fine lady and with all these other people that have been committing crimes for years.
And I can't help but imagine that RFK is already ready to hit the ground running on, like, go seize that, go look at that, start that, find that dude.
Shut him down.
harrison smith
You know what's so funny is they keep saying that RFK Jr. is unqualified, and he might be unqualified for what they want him to do, right?
He's not a lifelong bureaucrat, but there is nobody in America better informed about the criminality and the corruption in the HHS and the medical industry at large.
The book he wrote, The Real Anthony Fauci, is a mind-blower.
I mean, I think you and I had to say— It's a must-read.
I don't know if it was you that I was talking to where it's like halfway through the book you're like I get it.
I get it.
It's all effed.
Everything is screwed up as deep as you can possibly get because it's just that bad.
I think you're exactly right.
And of course, we talked about it earlier, HHS was who was in charge of the 300,000 children that went missing.
Yes, sir.
I imagine there's going to be some criminality discovered there as well.
ian carroll
I mean, to be fair, citizen journalists like Ryan Mata and many others have already exposed the criminality of HHS and the human trafficking scandals at the border.
And so the scope and breadth of HHS and the various natures of their criminal kind of campaigns they've been running.
For four years and more.
It's really hard, I think, for the average American to understand.
And USAID is just the tip.
And, like, I am so excited for RFK. Oh, my God.
harrison smith
All right.
The crew is giving me a note here.
Mitch McConnell, the lone Republican to vote against RFK Jr. What a surprise.
So what's the count now?
He's got 51 yay.
Okay, so we don't even need J.D. Vance.
You stay in Paris, J.D. We got this.
We're holding it down on the home front.
Mitch McConnell, the lone Republican to vote no on JFK so far.
It's because he's retiring.
He knows that anybody voting no on RFK would not be returned to Congress next year, and he's going to go off and die, so he just doesn't care.
ian carroll
I mean, he might be dead already based upon what happened the other day.
This video of him dying was from years ago, and somehow he's still there, right?
harrison smith
Crazy.
ian carroll
So, yeah, I think that there's been a lot of, especially, so I exist kind of right in the conspiracy theory sphere with a lot of, like, my following and my critics and stuff are in, like, pretty deep down the tinfoil.
And some of them are really logical and some of them are super not.
And there's been a lot of COINTELPRO style, like...
Hatred being thrown around at RFK and at Tulsi and at Cash, although primarily at Tulsi and RFK. And, you know, it's always hard as citizens, as regular people, you know, at home when you're trying to figure out what is really going on.
Even with sourcing like American Journal and the Infowars shows, like, even with that kind of sourcing, it's still hard to, like, make up your own mind about what's going on.
And for me personally, I've been looking at what's going on.
And my first indicator is what are all the...
Worthless, evil people in Congress, evil lobbyists, all the most horrible people on the news and on the classical TV. Who do they hate?
How hard are they trying to stop them?
harrison smith
It's hard to know who the good guys are, but it's pretty easy to know who the bad guys are.
ian carroll
Whoever the bad guys hate the most, that's a pretty sure sign that you should start out listening to people that are supporting that person and trying to explore what's going on there.
And RFK is a great example of that.
harrison smith
100%.
100%.
ian carroll
I mean, it only really started once he started, like, he was the darling of the Democrat Party.
He was the darling of the left for decades and decades of incredible work that all was great, you know, resume builder for his current position at HHS. And it wasn't until he started talking about vaccines that he started to become demonized and kicked out and, you know, all the rest is history.
harrison smith
Well, and that's what, you know, people are surprised that they're like, these people are...
Former Democrats, but the Democrats seem to hate them even more than they hate.
Same thing could be said with Elon Musk.
He was sort of a big Joe Rogan.
He was a Bernie supporter in 2016. But that's not surprising to me because that's what happens with cults.
Cults might not think nicely about people outside of the cult, but they don't really care.
It's the people that leave the cult and escape.
They hate them and they want them dead.
The same thing is happening with the Democrats.
But let's think about this from the opposite.
Let's do a little thought experiment here.
If you were in HHS or you were one of the criminals that's worried about their criminality being exposed, what's your strategy here?
You just lost control of HHS. Do you just try to burn all the documents that prove it?
Do you have agents deep undercover pretending to be RFK supporters, but really they're going to be working behind the scenes?
What would you do?
Because we know these people aren't just going to go, darn it, you caught us, we give up.
They're doing things behind the scenes.
What do you think those things are?
ian carroll
I mean, honestly, If I were in HHS and what Ian Carroll suspects is happening at HHS, has been happening at HHS, I would probably be putting my family in a car and heading for the nearest border to cross it in order to get on a plane, in order to fly to a country with a non-extradition treaty and trying to disappear into the ether.
Because...
I don't think there's any covering this up.
And it's an organization of such vast scale that there's no way that anyone could have any level of confidence that they're actually going to cover that up.
And even if you were to try, which they have and are doing, is putting plants into like RFK's team and into Trump's team and around them and into the media, into our spaces, to try to discredit them, to try to sow discord, like to try to sow a divide between Elon and Trump is one example.
And like, that's not going to work.
Like these guys, RFK, He's been dealing with these tactics for a decade at this point.
And he is no stranger to it.
And he's surrounded by people that are deeply loyal to his agenda, to what he's trying to do.
And it's not just an agenda that is political.
It's an agenda that is spiritual in nature and that goes beyond any sort of petty desires.
This is him fulfilling an American dream, his father's and his uncle's dream, and his responsibility all the way from to his children all the way up to God.
harrison smith
Yeah.
ian carroll
So I don't see Kennedy backing down and I don't see any level of subversion being able to, you know, derail what's coming.
harrison smith
You know, when you talk about Elon and Trump and RFK Jr., it like it's it's almost cheesy, but they're like men of destiny.
Like they have to feel it.
I mean, RFK Jr. with his his father's being being murdered and yet getting this lifeline with MAGA and, you know, making this happen.
And now he's the head of it.
I mean, this must be a dream fulfilled for him.
But all of these guys.
I can't imagine what they think when they wake up in the morning.
They must just be pinching themselves going, I'm really the most powerful person in the world or I'm really the richest person in the world.
They really do seem to have like a, they feel an obligation to be worthy of what they've been given.
That's the impression I get at least.
They seem to be literal men of destiny who understand the burden that puts on them and they actually want to like save the world and are in a position to do it.
It's just an amazing time.
ian carroll
It's really...
It's magical, too, how this team of destiny, like you're speaking, in some ways it's like the American destiny because they are not perfect men.
They are deeply flawed, too.
unidentified
too.
ian carroll
Trump comes from a deeply flawed background of wealth and power.
Elon Musk has all kinds of flaws and questions in his history.
RFK has transgressed many times.
They are far from perfect, but they're coming together across their differences, beyond their failures, and certainly taking a huge step forwards for America.
In some ways, I just feel like that's so metaphorical for where America's at as a country right now, is we've all experienced so much transgression against...
We've all been a part of the problem in our own small We've all been a part of the solution in our own small ways.
You know, some of us far more than others.
And I think we're going through this collective awakening that it's about putting the past behind us and seeing who's ready to walk towards a better America right now.
And if you're ready for that, let's go.
And if you're not, bye.
harrison smith
And as much as I, yesterday I was sort of...
I wonder if Elon's sort of pandering with bringing his kid everywhere, and I have a little cynical view on that, but I love the symbolism because that is true.
They are actually looking forward to the future.
We're not under the control of someone like Kamala with no kids and no stake in the future.
These are guys who want their grandkids to live in a world that they grew up in.
RFK Jr., officially HHS. More on the other side.
All right, welcome back.
unidentified
Ladies and gentlemen, this official RFK Jr. is...
harrison smith
HHS Secretary.
The masculinity of the Democrat Party has left them.
And everybody worth anything has moved over to the MAGA side.
Ian Carroll is in studio with me.
Follow him on X at IanCarrollShow at IanCarrollShow and go to CancelThisClothing...
I'm sorry, was it CancelThisClothingCompany.com?
Yes, sir.
CancelThisClothingCompany.com to support him and everything that he does, which is, you know, just take a sledgehammer to the lies of the mainstream media and their corporate masters.
And we have so much more to talk about.
We have so much more news to get into.
During the break, we were talking about...
Sort of the shift away from wokeness that's happening.
ian carroll
Yeah, the corporate masters are changing their tune pretty dang quick.
harrison smith
Why is that, do you think?
ian carroll
Well, money.
I mean, right?
Like, money, profitability.
But also, like, it's bizarre that our political class was even able to convince them to go DEI and woke in the first place.
Because those ideas are inherently not capitalistic.
And they inherently undermine your business.
It's hard for me to imagine that they didn't know that this would be undermining their business, like DEI and ESG policies and all this stuff that has nothing to do with creating a good product and satisfying your consumers.
harrison smith
It's antithetical to it.
ian carroll
Yeah, exactly.
And so they're very happy to shift back.
And I was mentioning how I saw most, not all, of the Super Bowl commercials as a very clear shift.
The Jeep commercial.
I made a piece highlighting the Jeep commercial with Harrison Ford that was both very clever and very American and very nonpartisan.
And very inspiring.
It was just a really wonderful work of art, honestly.
That's the kind of thing I would show to my son to inspire him to be a better man.
And that's exactly the kind of messaging that a company like Jeep should be giving.
And so it's cool to see that corporations are happy to shift back to a true American capitalist framework in their messaging.
And I think a lot of people push back on that saying, oh, they're just blowing with the wind, wherever the...
Yeah.
That's okay.
We are the wind.
And so if we push them to be better and they listen to us, that's good.
And that means that we just keep pushing.
Just don't stop.
Just keep demanding that companies stand for what's right, stand up for what matters, and don't get involved in all this other bullshit that has nothing to do with your company.
I see it as a very, very positive shift.
harrison smith
I do too, and of course we know...
ESG was foisted on a lot of these companies, or at least it was an angle of interest that they had to then reply to.
ian carroll
They pushed top down right from Larry Fink and BlackRock themselves.
harrison smith
Saying explicitly, we have to change behavior, we control the money.
I was always amazed by this.
You'll talk to investment bankers, and you go, have you ever heard of ESG? And they go, yeah, ESG, yeah, yeah, we put that in.
But why?
Why would you ever choose?
To invest in a company based off how many gay black people are on the board.
It makes no sense.
It's antithetical to profitability.
So it is a violation of your responsibility to get the best return on investment, except that they make up for that by going, hey, you might lose money because you're selling things that nobody wants, but if you sell these things, then your ESG score is higher, meaning we'll invest more, so you'll actually make more money in the end.
Because it can't just be about money, because you see things like...
Hollywood is just producing trash.
They're completely failing.
They're absolutely bankrupt at this point.
And they could always just make good movies, but they choose to make terrible movies that push their terrible message, even though it's going to make less money because it's more important to them to sigh off the American people than it is to make money.
ian carroll
Completely agree.
I think that our...
Our monetary system, especially our stock market and investing systems, are so convoluted by gigantic piles of money influencing the regulations that are influencing how those piles of money can influence the markets.
And BlackRock and Larry Fink is a really good example of how the...
Not that they own the shares that they control, because BlackRock is the top shareholder of basically every giant publicly traded company in our country.
And people are always like, yeah, but they don't own all those shares.
They are holding them on behalf of us, and that is true.
But BlackRock votes those shares.
And those shares, every share of a public company represents a vote for the board of directors, a vote for the ESG policies.
All these are votes.
And because BlackRock manages the voting power of our shares, of all those shares, Larry Fink quite literally decides if that CEO gets fired or not.
He decides if that board of directors gets switched out or not all across our economy and all these different companies.
And so they are not actually incentivized.
They don't care if a DEI policy or an ESG policy is going to make their actual company money or not.
Because really the money is coming from their stock price, which is coming from the investment money, which is coming from these gigantic investment firms that are pushing top-down agendas that make no sense from a capitalist standpoint.
And that is how they sort of like, I mean, I'm not going to try to pretend like I know exactly what their agenda is, but I know that they are subverting capitalism in the actual American system in order to push agendas into.
And that is inherently just been like making a mockery of American capitalism and our American culture.
Decades now.
harrison smith
Yeah, I know what Thurgeon it is.
You want to know what Thurgeon it is?
ian carroll
Yeah, yeah, please tell.
harrison smith
It's a one-world government where they rule over everybody as slaves, right?
unidentified
Absolutely.
harrison smith
You start with that understanding, everything else sort of falls in a line.
ian carroll
Oh, this makes sense.
harrison smith
Yeah, well, and it's funny.
I actually have a clip.
We don't have to go to it, but it's another clip of Mike Benz, and he's saying that the CIA used feminist groups to push regime change in other countries.
And it's like, other countries?
Why do you think it was instituted here?
It's always, it's a disruption.
ian carroll
Listen, the CIA would never operate on American soil.
Be against their purviews.
They would never break the rules.
harrison smith
Heavens no.
ian carroll
Oh my goodness.
They certainly wouldn't orchestrate an assassination of an American president on American soil with multiple shooters.
harrison smith
No, never.
Not the angels we have in our deep state.
ian carroll
So speaking of the CIA and USAID and all this international money that's funding these fringe groups around the world that is promoting this exact same sort of madness around the world, so let's remind ourselves who founded the CIA. Corporate lawyers founded the CIA. And that was on purpose.
Because, A, it makes sense.
Because corporate lawyers had all these connections with all these big, powerful corporations that could help get the job done after World War II. And during World War II. But, also...
The CIA wasn't founded on behalf of us, the American people, to keep us safe.
The CIA was founded on behalf of the corporate lawyers, corporate buddies, in order to go do regime changes in places like Guatemala and Iran and Chile and everywhere else.
Because all those corporate...
We live in a global corporate oligarchy.
And the global network of transnational corporations have all these different mechanisms of control.
From the International Monetary Fund and World Bank systems of indebting countries to this global financial system.
To the CIA jackals that John Perkins describes going into destabilized countries and coup them if they don't play along.
Straight up to, you know, just this international, this kind of like financial manipulation of our public stock markets and our public companies to push woke policies straight down to us.
It's just corruption all the way up and it's all orchestrated not by like one shadowy cabal, but by a set of interest groups that all are extremely wealthy and extremely disconnected from what...
harrison smith
Yeah, 100%.
And of course, you can just see the way that, you know, again, kind of like what's going on now with where they're moving away from wokeness, like the way that they treat a place like China that is completely antithetical to everything they claim to believe, and yet...
They're doing everything in their power to empower China and build China up, right?
Which if they really cared about racism or, you know, the ecology and climate change and pollution.
ian carroll
Or child labor.
harrison smith
Or child labor.
ian carroll
Anything.
harrison smith
Anything you want to point to that they claim, like, we have to tear down our civilization to stop happening.
Well, meanwhile, they are literally funding it to the tune of trillions of dollars in China.
So it's all fraudulent, right?
And I don't think that's even a question.
It's just that you need a reason to lie.
You don't need a reason to tell the truth.
It's the truth.
It exists on its own.
If somebody's lying to you, they have an ulterior motive.
And that, I guess, is what we're trying to really figure out.
ian carroll
Yeah, the interesting thing, too, that I've been thinking a lot over this last, especially since Trump's been elected, because we've been seeing so many different, Democrats especially, come out and sort of shill for this old system.
And because I exist adjacent to this very conspiratorially-minded space of thinkers, I'm always confronted with this.
The answer is yes.
And in some cases, they're all truly in on it, truly understand the plan.
And I'd be very curious for the answer about the COVID release that Mike Benz and Joe Rogan were talking about earlier.
I'd be curious how many of them are literally in on that one.
But in some ways, I think that a long time ago, the CIA and the intelligence world realized that you can't control a conspiracy if you're actually giving out orders to all these people.
The far more effective and insidious way to do such a thing that is far better at protecting you as the sort of head of the snake is to instead create an ideology that...
Can convince people to argue your points for you, that can convince people to defend your position, to go to bat for insane policies.
And you do that by carefully constructing like almost a religious perspective and you use misinformation, you use...
You use division.
You use all sorts of constructed experiences and narratives to walk, in this case, the Democrats, down the path of believing that they're right, giving them evidence to confirm those beliefs, and then feeding them a whole bunch of lies in this little echo chamber around them.
It's wild to watch how effective it is, but it is encouraging to see it falling apart in this modern digital age of social media.
harrison smith
I want to get into the falling apart part, but I think what you're saying is you're hitting the nail on the head.
And I always think back to a false flag in 2016, because typically you think of false flags, you think of like, okay, there's a shadowy cabal with cigars in some back room going, okay, we're going to send this to this, we're going to plant the passport in the dirt here, and it would have to be orchestrated, you'd have to coordinate with people.
in 2016 there's a very good example but it's happened a bunch where there was a gay guy who uh like put a swastika on his own church and and wrote you know slurs on the side of his church and you know he's interviewed about it on the police body cam he's going well you know i just false flagged it because i thought people didn't didn't understand what a big threat trump was so i wanted to make them understand it's like okay so that's how false flags are carried out now like independent on their own just knowing okay all i have to do is give the media chaff and then they will run with it
they'll pick it up and and report it without thinking about it you don't actually need to coordinate with media you just know okay this is how they're going to take this angle on this story so i'll just give them the story and then they'll run with it And it is pretty insidious how not—so you're referring to an— Like a physical, real, in-person, you know, false flag.
ian carroll
Right.
harrison smith
That the guy called a false flag himself, yeah.
ian carroll
But the fact of the matter is that social media makes it so easy to do that on a mass scale with the click of a button and everyone and anyone can create made-up stuff.
It's very complicated.
And so there's a lot of bonuses to this new media system, but there's also a lot of downfalls.
And I think that one of my favorite things about the InfoWars network is that you guys...
Because you guys have a strong team of highly educated people assisting, and you've got really great hosts, and you've got solid sourcing over time to keep you guys informed of what's going on, it really helps for your guys' reporting to cut through a lot of that false narrative and to try to figure out what is really going on, because that's the job of our times.
harrison smith
You know what's so helpful about that is our enemies help us by keeping us on our toes.
We just know that we can't say things that are wrong or they will eat us alive and it will be a big story.
So it's like – and our audience comes to us and can trust us and knows that – and we know that if our audience catches us in a live, we will try to lie to them or try to cover something up.
Like our audience is not going to let us get away with that.
They're not going to support us and we're going to go away.
So it's like we have a very – we have very good reasons to be very sure about what we say.
ian carroll
I mean like let's just pause on that for a moment.
Let's pause on that and think because That's how, like, you guys are operating on that, like, this sort of two hands tied behind your back, two feet tied together, like, and now go fight three Jet Lees.
You've been operating on that level for a long time here at InfoWars.
But in a lot of ways, the entire Republican Party has been operating in a certain way like that for some time now, because just look at how many lies prominent Democrats, media figures, politicians have said about...
Everything from literally releasing a bioweapon that killed millions of Americans and other citizens around the world, all the way down to just lying about foreign wars, lying about our government, lying about our candidates, lying about surveilling our president, potentially even orchestrating an assassination attempt of our interim sitting president of Trump.
So the number of lies that these people have told and gotten away with, and there are still no reconciliations.
As everyone who's not a Democrat right now, we almost don't even, like, we want it, but we are okay playing without the accountability.
Whereas, like, we've seen Republicans go to jail for peaceful protesting, for speaking truth, for nothing.
harrison smith
In some cases, literally for nothing.
ian carroll
So it's crazy to see how skewed the playing board is, and it's really cool to see how Republicans, I mean, it's kind of a bummer that we can just watch the right, the general middle and right.
Sort of accept the unfair state of play.
But it's also cool that despite the unfair state of play, the Democratic position is just crumbling around.
harrison smith
Yes, yes.
It's the silver lining to the cloud is like...
Yes, they've been in control and crushing us for decades, and look at how strong we still are.
Can you only imagine, you know, Harrison Bergeron, the Kurt Vonnegut book, where, you know, they want to create an equal society.
So anybody who's strong gets lead weights put on them.
Anybody who has great eyesight gets, you know, a film over their eyes.
So, you know, that's America.
We are Harrison Bergeron.
We are covered in lead weights.
We're tied down.
We've been crippled on purpose by this unfair state.
And as soon as we get that off, I mean...
Very well said.
ian carroll
I mean, back to what we were talking about on the last segment about sort of the destiny of all of this, how it feels almost ordained.
I mean, let's just remind ourselves that had Trump won in 2020, which he did, it would...
We would not have experienced the trial by fire as a country together that we experienced from 2020 to 2024. And also, Trump would not have experienced that same trial.
So we would not have received any of this had we not gone through that.
And in some ways, it's just important for us all as American citizens as part of the solution to remember that we need to be learning from experience as we go through this because these tactics don't go away.
Marxist tactics of subversion are timeless.
They will always work.
They will always be attempted all around the world.
So we need to remember that we are learning as a culture how to protect ourselves from this subversion.
And if and when we survive this wave of it, we need to remember what they did and how they did it.
And we need to establish laws and...
I mean, really, we just need to go back to the Constitution.
But we need to establish a legal framework by which we protect our country from this ever happening again.
harrison smith
Yeah, and that is a difficult needle to thread because obviously it's like, okay, you know, what they're...
It's like, I don't want speech laws.
I don't want, you know, I don't want to have censorship where you go, you're not allowed to...
ian carroll
The problem is you can't do that.
harrison smith
Yeah, and so it's like...
ian carroll
It's a double-edged sword.
We, like, Marxism...
Relies on censorship of speech, and censorship of speech makes it way harder to fight against Marxism if they're in control of it.
But unfortunately, I mean, this is the problem with being on the side of good, is that the side of good is always hamstringed by having to be good, whereas the side of evil does whatever they want.
But, as we were mentioning earlier, there's this element where...
No matter how hard they crush us down, that only makes us stronger.
And I'm a strong believer that that's how good works.
Is that there is good in everyone inherently.
And the more you oppress a people, the more you...
Just subvert a people.
The more you crush them into oblivion, the stronger that force of good becomes.
And you can never extinguish it.
And this is like the plot of every...
This is Star Wars.
This is the plot of every movie that's ever been made.
Every book.
And it's because it's inherent to the nature of being human.
Good always wins.
But sometimes you have to go through hell to get there.
harrison smith
Always.
You always do.
It's never going to be easy.
It's also what makes it fun.
Not only is there that inherent in good, You're going to have to be good and you have to be crushed.
But there's something inherent in the other side that makes them fail.
And this is a lesson the Democrats haven't learned.
If they had not stolen the 2020 election, if they had not launched the COVID pandemic, not launched BLM, if they hadn't done all this crap, Donald Trump would be retired.
He would have retired two weeks ago and they would never have to hear from him again.
It's their own actions that bring this about.
Will they ever learn that lesson?
ian carroll
No, sir.
I don't think so.
And the reason why they won't ever learn that lesson is because the actual people sort of at the top orchestrating these things, they're way beyond that.
They're not trying to learn a lesson.
They understand what they're doing.
Like, George Soros is a really good example.
George Soros, there's recently been a clip circulating of George Soros accusing Elon Musk of like, he's so narcissistic!
unidentified
He's just, like, got a god complex, and he's just, wait, really?
ian carroll
Yeah, there's literally a clip of Soros accusing Elon Musk of that, like, right now, because Elon Musk is, you know, ruling the world, and he's so narcissistic.
harrison smith
I have a clip of George Soros calling himself the Messiah.
ian carroll
Literally, yeah, George Soros quoted saying that he had a huge messianic complex, thinking he wanted to be a god.
And so it's just, you know, it's this element where the forces we're fighting against, they don't need to learn the lesson, because they're way past...
Because they understand what they're doing.
They understand they're trying to usher in a globalist world order because they think that they know better.
And maybe it's because they're talking to some demon in a basement somewhere.
Maybe it's because they're drinking blood.
I don't know which conspiracy theory it is.
Maybe they're just evil people.
Maybe just money and power corrupts.
But we know pretty dang clear by now that they know what they're doing.
And all the normal Democrats have no idea.
But the ones at the top pulling the strings with all the money, they understand.
harrison smith
That's true.
It's like even if they understand it, there's still something I'm thinking about The Onion trying to buy InfoWars.
They have money.
They could have just done it normal.
They could have just said, we're going to put a ton of money.
And they'd own us by now.
We'd be shut down in the exact same way.
If they just do things normal, if they weren't shady and underhanded constantly, they would win.
But it's like they have to be shady.
It's like they're compelled to do things in an underhanded fashion.
And it always screws them over in the end.
It might take a while, but in the end it screws them over.
ian carroll
You know what it reminds me of?
That old adage of if you're going to lie, you better have a really good memory.
And baked into that concept is the idea that in order to lie once, you have to suddenly support it with another lie and another lie and another lie.
And it all adds up and pretty soon it's so tied together that even if it would make more sense to just go buy InfoWars with a bunch of money, you have all these...
I mean, that's not as good of an example, but like the USAID stuff, even if that program is perfectly above board, you can't look into it because it's tied into all these other things and this...
One person that worked on it actually also worked with Cheryl Mills trafficking children in Haiti.
And if that comes out, then that'll come out, then that'll come out.
And Lord knows what the heck is down that rabbit hole.
So they're just like, they're screwed.
harrison smith
Yeah, I really think they are.
And again, when you look at what the Democrats are trying to put forward as the counter-argument, this time, it's so pathetic.
The one I keep seeing today...
A 71-year-old woman has died after her auction supply was cut off to the United States.
I mean, it's not funny.
I don't like that a 71-year-old woman died.
It is funny to me that it's just this total out-of-context sentence.
ian carroll
Yeah, assuming she actually died.
Trust me, bro.
No thanks.
harrison smith
Who she is, where she's from, just nothing.
It's just this one random sentence.
Meanwhile, these are the people that were shoving intubation tubes into people's throats and putting them on remdesivir and laughing at them as they hugged their grandmothers for the last time through a plastic wall.
Exactly.
These people, they don't give a damn about some 70-year-old woman dying.
So it's not even that this even matters.
It's that these people are so sick and evil.
It's almost funny to see them.
Call this evil because we know what they're willing to do and they will cut off your children from medical care if you don't obey them.
So, screw them.
ian carroll
I mean, realistically, so I used to work as a teacher in a bunch of weird, funny kind of like side positions.
I've worked with kids a lot and if you're a parent, you've seen a temper tantrum.
You know what temper tantrums look like.
And it's undeniable that the American mind, since...
Especially World War II, there's been a large degradation of the maturity of the American mind on purpose.
Because a child is much more consumptive than a rational, mature adult.
And there's other reasons too, but that's a big one.
And as Americans have been coddled and coddled and coddled into this sort of mushy, childlike state of just entertain me and tell me what's real, it just...
It's so clear that what we're seeing now is the most propagandized, the most coddled, the most immature among America throwing a temper tantrum that they're not getting what they want.
And it's very clear when they do things like, say, democracy is at stake as they have a candidate running for president that did not receive any votes to have her position there.
It's just so blatantly obvious that...
And plus, they're supporting Zelensky in Ukraine, who is literally a dictator now.
Everything they believe is just such nonsense.
And so it's just this, clearly you're not there because of any ideals.
And if you really examined your stance, you would understand that.
You would admit that.
But you're throwing a tantrum because you just want what you want, and you want to have your way, and you've had it so long that you expect you're going to get it again.
harrison smith
Yep, 100%.
And I was talking about that, you know, when...
RFK Jr. is saying, hey, maybe SSRIs are contributing to these mass murder phenomena.
ian carroll
I'm so ready for that conversation.
harrison smith
And why wouldn't you be?
Why wouldn't you go, oh, that might have something to do.
We're giving children brain-altering drugs and then they're shooting up schools.
Maybe we should look into a correlation here.
ian carroll
And you pointed out earlier on the show, I noticed that it says on the bottle may cause suicidal and homicidal thoughts.
harrison smith
But it's to your point that they don't have any principles.
They aren't actually interested in coming to conclude they have just this Petulance that is insurmountable.
Like, you just can't get through it.
They just, they won't listen to reason.
It is like arguing with a three-year-old.
ian carroll
But to be fair, to be fair to Democrats and that party, like, so I was raised liberal and I very much, like, speak that language of how they are taught.
And to be fair, they're given a very good message of supporting the underdog, of supporting the disadvantage.
They always repackage it into supporting someone that needs your help.
I'm the savior and I'm going to help this poor black person.
I'm going to help.
This poor trans person that's being bullied.
They always, and it's not like it's very powerful rich people creating those narratives.
And then Democrats are tricked into thinking that they are the heroes.
harrison smith
It's weaponizing their empathy.
It's taking the best thing about them, their care for other people, their empathetic nature and warping it and distorting it.
So they're actually working for the very people hurting the ones they think they're saving.
It's very confusing, but not really.
It's actually all very simple when you get right down to it.
Ian Carroll, time has flown by.

of the spear in the fight against the globalists.
Elon's kicking their ass.
Trump's kicking their ass because you've supported them.
But please don't forget about Infowars because in this fight, Elon and Trump, what they're doing is way larger and just incredible and amazing.
But you look then below that and we are the most effective.
We are now reaching the most people of any of the shows out there.
And not just the Patriot broadcast.
We're reaching over 100 million people a day, conservatively.
And that's because you stood with us and you supported us.
But these new viewers, these new listeners, they're not going to the alexjonesstore.com and they're not getting product.
It is the hardcore viewers and listeners like you, the Patriots that helped launch this whole thing that are keeping us on the air.

You're the people that understand how important it is to support independent, patriot, pro-human, anti-globalist media that are enemies of humanity.
