unidentified		Yes, we celebrate our diversity and in Islam, we are a very, very diverse religion.
		But there are some people, there are some people who think diversity is not a strength and is a weakness.
		They think diversity shouldn't be celebrated, it should be denigrated.
		They try and pit Muslims versus Hindus.
		They try and pit those from London versus those from other parts of the country.
		They try and pit those who are older.
		Versus those who are younger.
		And as the general election approaches, they will try and make these culture wars bigger and bigger.
		And we've got to say no.
		We've got to say we're going to build bridges and we're not going to build walls.
		We've got to show them that Islam celebrates diversity and we celebrate our brothers and sisters whether they're Muslims or they are non-Muslims.
		In school they were teaching us about Islam, about Prophet Muhammad and all their ideologies.
		They barely cover Christianity after all.
		Did they tell you about how he was a warlord who brutally murdered people?
		They wouldn't say any of that.
		And when I tried to stand up and say that some of them things, I would get in trouble for it.
		Dispended from school.
		Shame on them all.
		Because what the state is subjecting Tommy Robinson through in solitary...
		For a piece of independent journalism, whether you agree with that piece of independent journalism or not, is depraved.
		So here's the information, the breaking information that the MSM is ignoring direct from Tommy's official team.
		Urgent update on Tommy's situation.
		Tommy is in solitary confinement for a non-criminal offence.
		Now they're trying to starve him.
		The prison has banned him from ordering food for a week, his only source of nutrition, tinned tuna and mackerel.
		Just because he spoke to his son on speakerphone went on a call to another family member.
		They've blocked visits, cut off phone access, he's lost serious weight, and his mental health is deteriorating.
		His human rights have been breached repeatedly.
		This is political persecution, plain and simple, and it's effing spiteful.
		If they go through with this on Monday, we'll have no choice but to call a protest next week directly outside Wilhill Prison.
		Enough is enough.
jon bowne ▲ ● ▼		Tommy Robinson's outrageous plight will only be the beginning of the slow transfer of Her Majesty's government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland toward Sharia.
unidentified		Sharia for you, guys!
unidentified		Let the British government go to hell!
jon bowne ▲ ● ▼		Let the law and order go to hell!
unidentified		The law and order go!
unidentified		The law and order go!
jon bowne ▲ ● ▼		The migrant influx contributing to so-called British white flight in London has opened up a portal for Sharia, as the BBC seemed to be perplexed when a 2013 report stated something quite remarkable happened in London in the first decade of the new millennium.
		The number of white British people in the capital fell by 620,000, equivalent to the entire population of Glasgow moving out.
		The consequence, as revealed by the latest census, is that white Brits are now in a minority in London, making up just 45% of its residents.
		Now, London has seen Sharia Muslim patrols, no-go zones, specialized Islamic tax reform, Sharia courts, and even a Sharia-compliant airline.
		While the Guardian headline says the far right is organized and growing, those Nazi salutes are While the only picture used shows a man with his hands up as the police intensify on the crowd.
		The Independent also posted a video of one guy giving a Nazi salute in response to being called a Nazi by leftists just to anger them.
		Hardly swarms of Nazi salutes.
		It's blatantly obvious that Britain's detached government wants to paint their fellow countrymen and women simply concerned for the future of their country as racist Nazi scum.
		John Bowne reporting for InfoWars.com.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		All right, those guys, the latest from John Bowne, free Tommy Robinson.
		This is the American Journal.
		We'll be your daily dispatch on the other side.
unidentified		Don't go anywhere, folks.
		Blow this thing.
		Get everybody in the stuff together.
		Okay, three, two, one.
		Let's jam.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
		Welcome to the American Journal.
		I'm your host, Harrison Smith, coming to you live this Friday morning.
		We got a lot to talk about.
		a lot of videos to show you this morning as, of course, CPAC. It is underway.
		There's a lot of stuff going on overseas.
		Lots of speeches and statements from all sorts of interesting people and compelling world events.
		So I'm glad you're here with us today.
		I actually want to start today with the first thing I saw this morning, which was a speech by our friend Matt Baker and from the San Diego City Council.
		Matt Baker.
		Well, simply put, he's done it again.
		He's done it again.
		He went to San Diego City Council, and basically he's taken the mantra, the mindset, the worldview of Doge, and is taking it to his locality.
		And I love this, and I'd love to see more of it.
		And what's happening in the federal government could inspire a revolution all across the United States, people demanding accountability.
		For where their tax dollars are spent.
		So here's Matt Baker.
		I'm going to say it now.
		Future Mayor of San Diego, Matt Baker, giving an incredible speech as only he can to the San Diego City Council.
		Let's watch.
unidentified		There we go.
		Hello.
		It's, you know, people say I'm being disrespectful, but...
		To be honest, I feel like you guys are being a little bit disrespectful and dishonest to the people here.
		Because do you really feel like these guys are independent?
		Because I don't.
		I haven't heard you guys talk about one bad budget move by the government.
		I haven't heard you say, you know, this seems a little wasteful over here.
		These guys aren't spending enough money.
		Every time it's like, hey guys, you're just not paying enough.
		You know, guys, you need to pay more for trash, guys.
		Hey, why aren't you paying them more for the sales tax, guys?
		Well, here's the thing.
		Every dollar that our inflation goes up, their sales tax goes up.
		And every dollar our property goes up, their property tax goes up.
		We are paying six times the national average for property tax, man, woman, and child.
		And you guys are still broke?
		You don't even question any of these things.
		Does this sound like doge to you?
		I don't see a doge here.
		We need a Department of San Diego efficiency.
		Dose.
		We need a dose.
		And you guys need to stop analyzing the budget and start figuring out how to cut the budget, okay?
		I have a couple of ideas for you.
		You know, I went downtown, okay?
		And I'm looking at why is it that they have to shut down the gas lamp?
		You know, they said, we need to save money.
		So they figured out, hey, if we shut down the gas lamp, that's going to save us a bunch of money.
		And those little businesses that are there making all that money, feeding it back into the tech space, well, that's not going to affect anything.
		How much does it actually cost someone to go and put those ballers in the street?
		I don't think a lot of money.
		I met people down there that said that they would do it themselves.
		And it would increase your budget.
		Okay, but you're not interested in that.
		That little precinct, okay, is not to be there.
		And all of the little parking meters in downtown San Diego are now twice the price.
		So you're raping the people in San Diego, but that's okay.
		You know what they're doing with the money?
		How much did you say we are now, is it 100 million?
		What is it again?
		What's the current?
		Was it 250?
		I thought he said it's 100 now.
		What is it now?
		If you want to, ask your question.
		Answer the question.
		What's the number?
		What is which number, sir?
		What is the total amount of the budget deficit, sir?
		Currently?
		We are projected to have a 258...
		Okie dokie.
		Well, here, 250. I got $27.5 million that we can eliminate from the budget.
		So apparently they can't have a promenade.
		Downtown San Diego, because that's costing them too much money.
		So they're going to build a brand new promenade, the Pride Promenade.
		And they're going to have rainbows all over the streets.
		And they're going to have kids parks at $27.5 million projected fee.
		And if we can judge that by the railway to nowhere, I wonder what that's going to end up being, $100 million perhaps?
		So we could cut that one.
		That's $27.5 million.
		That's 10% of your total budget, which you have paid no attention to even attempt.
		To cut, sir.
	Here's another one.
	We talk about homelessness, don't we?
	Oh, those poor homeless people.
	And we need affordable housing, don't we?
	Well, let's do the numbers, shall we?
	$35, $36 million, the state is going to pay, the city is going to pay for one little place, 161 units, okay?
	That's going to come out to...
	$440,000 per unit of a building that's already built for affordable housing, for forever homes, for homeless people.
	You couldn't just move them in to the extended stay as it was.
	It's good enough for you and I to go and stay there on vacation, but it's not okay for them.
	You gotta spend $440,000 per unit at 161 units, which is gonna do what to our homeless problem?
	Nothing.
	It's all about kickbacks, and it's all about- At every single moment, you guys are wasting money.
	Every time you see a guy standing on the road, checking his cell phone, trying to fix the roads, there's 20 dudes, there's one guy filling a pothole.
	Every time a cop car pulls over, there's 100 cops show up.
	In Ocean Beach, one guy gets a fight, there's 100 units, there's a helicopter.
	How much does it cost the people for that?
	Too much money cuts the budget.
	Do you understand?
	I don't think they're being respectful.
	You work for the government.
	You are not attempting to cut any money out of this.
	You're just trying to ease it into us and like mind control everybody into saying we need to spend more money.
	No, you need to cut more money.
	All right.
	That's the reality.
	You can fucking sit around here and play NPR. Well, you know what we need to do is cut the budget.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Bravo, bravo, Matt Baker.
		The DOS, Department of San Diego Efficiency.
		I'm telling you, can that man be mayor of San Diego?
		Or maybe a senator?
		I don't know.
		I just, I love it.
		I can't get enough of it.
		And I want to see.
		I want to see more of this.
		And this is one of the things we haven't even really explored that much, is the fact that what has happened over the last several decades of the federal budget, trillions of dollars being spent to these pet projects and cultural undermining events around the world, it's been happening on the local level too.
		We haven't even mentioned this.
		We've been so aghast at what's been discovered at the federal level.
		You forget.
		Now, little cities like San Diego are spending half a billion dollars on some complete waste of money boondoggle that will inevitably fail while cutting services for their citizens who actually need it.
		So yeah, we need doge countrywide.
		We need doge nationwide at every locality.
		And I love seeing Matt Baker get so involved and fight back.
		And I'm serious, he should be mayor.
		For governor?
		I don't know.
		All I know is I would go to San Diego to campaign for that man.
		It needs to happen.
		All right.
		Like I said, I have a lot to talk about.
		Let me just say, it's one of the stories in our Daily Dispatch, but before we get right down to it, the Dream Team is in place.
		Tulsi Gabbard, Cash Patel, Pete Hegseth, Pam Bondi.
		Everybody has been confirmed, and everybody is firing on all cylinders.
		We got statements from...
		Pretty much all of these people today.
		Pam Bondi talking about the Epstein list due for imminent release.
		Kash Patel dispensing lists of deep state criminals that he'll be going after.
		Pete Hegseth is now doing an almost fireside chat style updates on the military.
		It's time.
		It is time.
		And the A-team is in place.
		And we're just getting started.
		It's very exciting at times.
		I'm going to take your phone calls throughout the day today.
		Like I said, lots of videos to get to, lots of updates to try to untangle.
		But we'll begin today, as we do every day, with our Daily Dispatch.
		All right, here it is, folks, your Daily Dispatch for Friday, the 21st of February 2025.
		We're fighting for you, J.D. Vance tells young men at CPAC to buck broken culture opposed to masculinity.
		During his interview at CPAC, Vice President J.D. Vance was asked about the message he has for young people, as well as specifically for young men, where he told them not to listen to the broken culture that is opposed to masculinity.
		Matt Schlapp said, when asked about Vance's message to younger people, as well as young men in America, J.D. Vance responded, my message to young people generally is we're trying to make your life better.
		And that is this.
		That is the simple thrust of President Trump's policy is we want you to be able to buy a home.
		We want you to be able to work a good job.
		We want you to be able to raise your kid.
		Like I said, according to the values you believe in and we want you to be able to build a nice life in this country that all of us love.
		Vance responded.
		Again, Vance is one of the best decisions Trump made.
		It has made during his entire political career as far as I'm concerned.
		And he's just returning us to normality.
		It's incredible to see.
		And we'll show you clips from that CPAC speech as well as interviews he did around it.
		But his message is very simple.
		It's very much just like, yeah, we just want what's normal.
		That's all.
		We just don't want to continue to perpetuate this culture that is a constant challenge to parents.
		Why are parents constantly saddled with the anxiety of having to try to protect their kids from the mental poison that's constantly being thrown at them?
		He's like, I just want to raise my kids as Christians and have them prosper.
		What's so bad about that?
		That's exactly what we've been calling for here for a long time, after all.
		The other side likes to act like we're extremists when literally all we're asking for previously was to be left alone.
	Since they've refused that.
	It's literally just we just want life to be normal.
	We just want it to be how it always was until they decided to completely upend and invert everything and everything got terrible.
	So it's very normal.
	Nothing extreme about it.
	And J.D. Vance is like the embodiment of that argument.
	Meanwhile, the Trump effect is in full swing.
	Illegal border crossings plummeted in January.
	The House Committee on Homeland Security released its latest border brief for January, reporting a significant decline in illegal immigration since President Donald Trump took office.
	Both the White House and Republicans are attributing the drop to what they refer to as the Trump effect, which is just fascinating, isn't it?
	Fascinating how this could have been done the entire time.
	Again, these people just get away with these lies they tell.
	For over a year, they told us that it was impossible to shut the border.
	And we knew it was a lie then.
	It's not like Trump came in, shut down the border, and we're like, wait, we could have done that the entire time?
	We thought, no.
	It was always a lie.
	We always knew it was a lie.
	It's like occasionally when these lies get just shattered beyond repair, when it's just proven beyond any doubt they've been lying.
	I wish there'd be some recompense for that.
	I wish there'd be some price to pay.
	For just gaslighting the American people for a year, justifying or giving excuses as why you're allowing their country to be utterly flooded by millions of immigrants.
	They just lied about it.
	Every time they were asked, they lied about it.
	Every single time this topic came up, they said the same talking point about, well, Donald Trump didn't want this bill to pass.
	And if that bill doesn't pass, we can know about it.
	And it's just like, it's just a lie.
	So how many lies is it going to take?
	For people to wake up.
	That they constantly lie about everything.
	I just don't get it.
	I don't get it.
	There's another perfect example in our next story.
	Trump ends deportation protection for 500,000 Haitians.
	The U.S. government will end temporary protected status for 500,000 Haitians living in the country in August.
	The Department of Homeland Security said on Thursday.
	This comes despite deteriorating conditions in the Caribbean country with gangs controlling about 85% of the capital and sexual violence against children increased by 1,000% last year, according to the United Nations.
	TPS is granted to nationals of designated countries facing unsafe conditions such as armed conflict or environmental disasters.
	U.S. President Trump has moved to overhaul parts of the U.S. immigration system since returning to office and has promised mass deportations and arrests.
	TPS, this protected status, has been held by Haitians since 2010 and will be ending on the 3rd of August 2025.
	I'm not kidding.
	We should take over Haiti.
	85% of the Haitian capital is being controlled by gangs.
	So, like, should we not do something about that?
	Should we not confront that at its source and just make it a protectorate?
	Is that not...
	Would that not be best for everybody?
	And then we'd have a lovely island location to send all of the deportees to.
	All of them.
	They can all go to Haiti and help rebuild it.
	It would be great.
	I'm serious about that.
	We really should.
	85% of their capital is just run by cannibal gangs.
	What?
	How?
	How is this?
	Okay.
	Alright.
	But no, you can't come here.
	If there's 500,000 Haitians living here, What percentage of Haiti is that?
	What's the population of Haiti?
	Seems like if you have 500,000 Haitians in America, the best possible thing to do would be just like give them all a gun and send them back to Haiti and then they can be in charge of Haiti.
	I think a force of 500,000 Haitians could reconquer their, yeah, 20th of the entire country is here.
	Yeah, send them back with guns.
	See what happens.
	Meanwhile, Trump loyalist Kash Patel is narrowly confirmed as FBI director by the Senate.
	Senate on Thursday narrowly voted to confirm Kash Patel as director of the FBI, moving to place him atop the nation's premier federal law enforcement agency.
	Despite doubts from Democrats about his qualifications and concerns, he will do Donald Trump's bidding and go after Republican presidents' adversaries.
	Well, AP News, I hate to break this to you, but that's literally exactly why we voted for him.
	See, this was the problem with the...
	The hysterical coverage of Trump before the election is you told everybody Trump is running for revenge.
	Trump is running to inflict vengeance on his adversaries.
	If you vote for Trump, you're voting for this guy with an enemies list to be in charge of the FBI and go after them.
	And then we all voted for him.
	So it's kind of late.
	It's kind of too late now.
	To be acting like this is a surprise.
	No, you told us.
	We knew.
	We voted for him.
	We want it.
	That's what we want.
	That's why we voted for him.
	So there you go.
	It's done.
	A Trump loyalist who has fiercely criticized the agency he will now lead, Patel will inherit an FBI gripped by turmoil as the Justice Department over the past month has forced out a group of senior bureau officials and made a highly unusual demand for the names of thousands of agents who participated in investigations related to January 6th riot at the U.S. Capitol.
	Oh, is that why it's in turmoil?
	Is it in turmoil because people have been fired?
	Or is it in turmoil because it has been systematically hijacked by political interests and used to punish peaceful protesters who wave the American flag?
	The turmoil is the correction.
	It's the treatment for the illness it's been suffering under.
	So it's a good thing.
	It's actually a good thing.
	It's being purged like a...
	Like when you vomit, when you've been poisoned, right?
	They're getting the poison out.
	They're purging the body of the toxins.
	So it's going to be messy.
	It's going to be a little bit messy, but necessary.
	In fact, I think the messier it is, the more brutal it is, the better it will be.
	At the end of the day.
	So that's your Daily Dispatch brought to you, of course, by thealexjonesstore.com, thealexjonesstore.com.
	Go there today, get your Sambucus gummies or Irish Seamoss gummies.
	Again, it's kind of a funny name, Irish Seamoss, just because, I don't know, it's almost, it sounds like a parody.
	It sounds like something from like South Park to King of the Hill or something.
	In like the 2000s, they'd be making fun of some health food and it'd be like, I'm eating sea moss.
	It'd be like, what?
	These crazy hippies eating this crazy food.
	And it is, it is kind of crazy food.
	It's sea moss.
	Like, who would have thought sea moss just happens to be one of the most nutrient-packed, nutrient-rich and dense foods on planet Earth?
	But it is.
	So you process it, you extract all the nutrients, you put it in capsules or gummies, and it turns out it's like taking...
	It's got everything you need.
	Stuff that's incredibly hard to find.
	And the way these nutrients all work together makes them more bioavailable than in other forms.
	And it turns out it's just an almost miraculous superfood.
	And again, it's interesting when you look up Irish sea moss and the history of it.
	You know, sea moss obviously is from all over the world.
	But for some reason, some inexplicable reason, the sea moss from the North Atlantic is just...
	It's just like jam-packed with all these nutrients, more so than anywhere else.
	Again, they don't really know why, but some ineffable combination of conditions from temperature to water depth, we don't really know, but just God.
	We'll just explain it with God doing this.
	And it sort of got a lot of, I don't know if I want to say it, it's like it raised in popularity, but it was during the Irish potato famine.
	It was during the time when the island of Ireland I was starving to death and people started eating the sea moss almost out of desperation and realized that it was like the only food you had to eat.
	Potatoes are kind of similar.
	Like if you only eat potatoes, they have like every vitamin and nutrient you could possibly need.
	So it's like that's all you have to eat and you'll get all your nutrients unlike other foods where, you know, you can starve to death if you eat nothing but rabbit.
	They have like, you know, it's like wild game starvation where if you eat nothing but lean meat, you'll actually starve to death because it doesn't have all of the All the nutrients that you actually need.
	Sea moss does.
	It has absolutely everything.
	So I think it's appropriate because if you know the truth about the Irish potato famine, you know that it was a plot.
	It was basically the English trying to crush Irish resistance by confiscating their food and also prevent starvation in England by confiscating all of Ireland's food.
	It wasn't a blight or just a natural condition that caused the potatoes to...
	Go bad and so Ireland starved.
	That's sort of how it's portrayed.
	That's also kind of appropriate because, once again, you have these international interests manipulating the food supply to their own ends, blaming it on a natural disaster, and that lie going into the history books.
	So it's like very appropriate that we're selling this product.
	Very appropriate.
	Came to prominence during a time when, you know, international...
	Neo, or not Neo, but proto-globalist factions were manipulating the food supply in order to achieve their ends and punish their enemies.
	And here we are experiencing the exact same tactics once again and combating them with the exact same miraculous superfood, Irish sea moss, ultimate sea moss, bladderwrack, and burdock root gummies now available at thealexjonesstore.com.
	This bottle's dirty.
	This bottle's got coffee all over.
	Somebody spilled coffee all over this bottle.
	The bottles from the store are perfectly clean.
	Stuff back here gets a little bit messy.
	But, of course, you keep us on the air and in the fight, and we are bucking at the gate here.
	We're ready to go and launch again into the stratosphere as we come to the end of our long and torturous bankruptcy road.
	Now, I got a lot of videos to get to, so I should just get to them.
	But I'm running out of time in this segment, so I'll have to get to the next one.
	So let me just give you a preview of what we're coming up to.
	We got J.D. Vance at CPAC, again, just laying down the law and just saying things that everybody should have been saying this entire time.
	And maybe it's because he's young.
	Maybe it's because he's like two years older than me.
	Like, he's a really young dude.
	Which is strange because you would think that it would be the old guard that would just be...
	You know, solidified in their way and refusing to budge and holding on to these old, you know, principles that nobody cares about anymore.
	But no, the old people have all been co-opted.
	All the Mitch McConnells out there are fully on board with the crazy, weird, modern crap.
	And it's J.D. Vance and the young people that are yearning for tradition and, you know, feel nostalgia for a country that they never actually got to live in.
	And so they're actually bringing it back and reasserting the primacy of these traditional ways of having a mother and a father raise children with just the father working and the mother staying at home.
	It's not the old folks that are, you know...
	The old folks, for any reason, have a weird obsession with transgenderism and supporting it now.
	It's the young people that are going to reassert the American tradition and J.D. Vance is at the very forefront of that.
	We'll show you videos of that and a lot of other CPAC appearances coming up.
	Stay with us.
unidentified		All right, welcome back, folks.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Welcome back.
		This is The Info War.
		InfoWars.com banded video.
		Please do share those links.
		Share these videos and everything.
		We rely on you to get this information out.
		I do have a lot of videos to get to because we really are firing on all cylinders.
		I mean, it's crazy the variety of videos I have.
		We've got CPAC speeches, CPAC interviews, interviews on the CPAC red carpet.
		They're doing press conferences with Steve Miller, joining Caroline Levitt and just laying waste to the orcish hordes of the...
		White House press room.
		So it's just, it's like international, national.
		The Trump team is just rocking and rolling and really, really firing on all cylinders.
		So I got so many videos to get to, I don't even know where to start.
		Because a lot of this has to do with Zelensky in Ukraine as well as the talks continue overseas with...
		Marco Rubio and others giving us updates on that.
		So I want to go to some of those, but we'll start with just the more general stuff.
		In fact, we'll start on the Senate floor with Dr. Rand Paul, which he's got to just be, I mean, it's just crazy.
		It's just crazy historically where we are and that Rand Paul, the son of Ron Paul, is watching as...
		You know, his father's dreams come true.
		It's just, it's just, it's amazing what we've been able to accomplish.
		I really just want to soak it in.
		But let's go to Rand Paul here on the Senate floor giving an absolutely bombshell speech.
		Let's watch.
rand paul ▲ ● ▼		Why are the decisions of this body so awful?
		Because there's a printing press.
		I had a conversation with one of my Democrat colleagues and he said, I said, we have to make a choice.
		You've got to decide whether you want to help the poor in our country or you want to help the poor in Ukraine or help whoever you're paying in Ukraine.
		And he says, we shouldn't have to make a choice.
		Well, it's like, you do have to make a choice.
		The fact that you think you don't have to make a choice is why we're $36 trillion in the hole.
		You have to make choices.
		Which comes first, Ukraine or America?
		You can't do both.
		Because we don't have enough money.
		We only have enough taxes coming in to pay for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and food stamps.
		Everything else is borrowed.
		So maybe able-bodied people need to go back to work.
		Maybe there needs to be a work requirement.
		Maybe for goodness sakes, food stamps shouldn't buy sugar drinks, chips, ding-dongs, and Twinkies.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		What'd you just call me?
		No, he's exactly right.
		But of course, remember...
		Cutting costs is never going to be...
		It is happening.
		We just have that meme just behind me on this wall just constantly.
		All day, every day.
		It is happening.
		Ron Paul is dancing.
		It really is happening.
		It really is happening.
		It's not enough just to cut spending because every dollar we print is borrowed.
		Every dollar we spend has debt attached to it.
		That's the real head of the snake.
		That's the real heart of the dragon.
		You gotta strike the creation of money as a debt by a private reserve bank.
		That's the big issue.
		That's what we have to solve.
		Until then, all the spending cuts in the world will only slow the rate our debt is growing.
		It'll never reverse or abolish it.
		But it's great to see it happening.
		And of course, that is the primary...
		The operation of the Trump campaign right now is Doge, and there's a lot of updates to that, including what seems to be more and more solidified, the policy that the money saved from Doge will be returned to the American people.
		Let's go to clip number nine here.
		This is Donald Trump announcing what they're going to do with the savings that they're finding by eliminating wasteful programs under Doge.
		Let's watch.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		...saving taxpayers billions and billions of dollars every single day.
		And there's even under consideration a new concept where we give 20% of the Doge savings to American citizens and 20% goes to paying down debt because the numbers are incredible, Elon.
		So many billions of dollars, billions, hundreds of billions.
		And we're thinking about giving 20% back to the American citizens and 20% down to pay back debt and pay down debt, If you look at value, if it were a real estate balance sheet, the debt is tiny, but we still want to pay it down.
		It doesn't matter.
		We don't look at it as a piece of real estate.
		It's America.
		We're going to get it down through intelligence, hard work, and as Elon said, a word called caring.
		You have to care.
		By doing this, Americans will tell us where there's waste.
		They'll be reporting it themselves.
		Participate in the process of saving money.
		So many of the men and women in this room, as an example, they pay tremendous amounts of taxes.
		And here are just a few examples of where your money was going before I came along.
		These are just some of the, just taken at random.
		Oh, there are much worse examples than this.
		I was just looking at them before the speech, and I can tell you they were much worse.
		And there are some that are horrible, but I don't want to really say them because they're...
		Very, very embarrassing to people.
		Very, very embarrassing.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		I can just tell Trump's having a good time.
		Trump's giving Doge savings to public, defending cost cuts.
		The president suggests 20% be sent out to the American people, 20% be spent to pay down the debt.
		I think that's probably what's going to happen.
		I do think that's probably what's going to happen.
		It just makes the most sense.
		Electorally, literally just sending out $5,000 checks to American households.
		I mean, who's going to complain?
		Who is going to complain about that?
		And we'll make it all, I hope, a bit more real to people.
		Because right now, the mantra that the left is spouting is, he's not really cutting anything.
		They're just denying reality.
		That's all they have left is just...
		Hearing what's happening and then just closing their eyes and ears like babies and hoping it all goes away.
		So they're just like, he's not really cutting any waste.
		This is all a lie.
		If the average American gets a $5,000 check with a note from Trump saying, this is just one tiny part of what was stolen from you by the Democrats over the years, and we thought you should have as much as we can claw back, we should give back to you.
		It's going to make it a little bit more real.
		Hopefully it will get through to people of like, huh, so every year this is the amount of money?
		This is one-fifth of the amount of money that's been taken from me to pay for the crap I keep hearing about?
		Yeah, that sucks.
		I'd rather have the money.
		There's a classic story.
		I should have grabbed the clip, but Ronald Reagan would say it on late night shows and stuff, back when he was president, where they'd do these polls and it would show the majority of Americans want...
		Greater welfare.
		Want all of these, you know, government spending programs.
		And he goes, okay, now what you do is you go out and before you ask him the question, you give them a hundred dollar bill and you say, that's yours.
		You get to keep it.
		Now here's the program.
		We want to have gay pride murals in Compton.
		And people go, yeah, that's great.
		That sounds great.
		I love helping people.
		Yeah, I'm in favor of that.
		And they go, okay, give me the hundred dollars.
		Do you want the $100?
		Because if you want this program, you've got to give me that $100 back.
		And you'll find that these things that have massive and majority support, suddenly people aren't so thrilled about it.
		Suddenly when they realize it does cost money and it's their money it's going to cost, they have a different priority when it comes to what they're okay with and what they want.
		So I think the Doge dividend, the Doge adend.
		Doja Dividend.
		The Doja Dividend would have that sort of effect in reverse of people going, wait, I actually like having this money.
		Wait, I prefer it when I have a giant wad of cash rather than Nepal being taught to be atheist or whatever other program it would go to.
		However, not everybody is super down with this.
		Again, I think there's actually better ways to spend.
		Said the whole time that we should just be repurposing this cash flow into supporting principles that are actually American, not the mind virus parasite that's taken America over.
		But electorally, I think giving out $5,000 cash is probably a good move.
		Clip number eight here.
		This is Speaker Mike Johnson.
		He's not so keen on the idea.
		Let's watch.
unidentified		The president said that a percentage of Doge savings could maybe go back to the American people in the form of what he called Doge stimulus checks.
		Something like 20%.
		How would that work?
		Well, look, I mean, politically, that would be great for us, you know, because then everybody would check.
		But really, we have to think of it, I think, in a...
		That just got everybody's attention, by the way.
		Yeah, I know.
		I just saw everybody look up all of a sudden.
		I know.
mike johnson ▲ ● ▼		But if you think about our core principles, right, fiscal responsibility is what we do as conservatives.
unidentified		That's our brand.
unidentified		We have a $36 trillion federal debt.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		We have a giant deficit that we're continuing with.
unidentified		I think we need to pay down the credit card.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Screw that.
		I think the money should go to the banks.
		Actually, I think we should inject all of that money we saved not into the American people who paid in the first place, but into the banks who hijacked our monetary system and charge us debt for every dollar.
		Print for us.
		We allow them to print for us.
		Has he not gotten the memo?
		Mike Johnson, wake up, dude.
		Wake up.
		It's 2025. Conservatism isn't falling for the tricks anymore.
		We shouldn't be.
		We shouldn't be.
		And it's not that it's not an admirable goal.
		Fine.
		Fiscal responsibility.
		Great.
		It's great.
		I love it.
		Love fiscal responsibility.
		I'm not physically responsible myself, but sure, the government probably should be.
		That makes sense.
		It's a trick.
		It's a lie.
		We know it's a lie and a trick.
		You might have a leg to stand on if at one point in the last, I don't know, 40 years, any substantial effect was had from fiscal responsibility.
		If any Republican ever...
		In my lifetime, had it ever lowered the debt, destroyed the spending projects, imposed fiscal responsibility on the government, maybe you would have an argument.
		But this is Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown.
		No, trust us, fiscal responsibility this time.
		And it's like, no, why would we fall for this again?
		Why are you even pitching this?
		What do you think you're doing?
		What do you think you're doing?
		I don't get it.
		Money's fake.
		They print it from thin air.
		The debt has never been paid down.
		The size of the government has never been diminished.
		And instead what happens is our enemies, who have absolutely no compunction about spending our tax dollars to progress their ideals, have dominated everything.
		Okay, so for the last time, and I don't think I'm alone in this, I also used to prioritize fiscal responsibility in the government.
		I don't think I'm the only one who at this point, I don't care how much money is spent.
		I'm cared that it's where it's spent.
		I'm cared that it's spent to build up and make the American people prosperous rather than giving out wholesale to our enemies, funding the very programs that are destroying us.
		Creating feedback loops of non-governmental organizations that lobbied the government for more money, to make more projects, to lobby the government for more money, to make more projects.
		That's got to stop.
		It is stopping.
		It has been stopped.
		But it's just what are you talking about?
		Fiscal responsibility.
unidentified		Great.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Does he not realize it's that thinking exactly that got us to this point?
		That while the Republicans were going off fiscal responsibility, they were at the same time allowing Democrats to plunder the expense account for billions of dollars that they just give out to their friends, giving their compatriots or fellow travelers, their fellow subversives, $200,000 a year jobs, making anti-vape commercials for transgender Indonesians.
		How have they not learned the lesson?
		I mean, honestly.
		It's not even that big of a deal.
		I'm getting worked up about it.
		At its core, it's not that big of a deal.
		It's the frustration with just like the Speaker of the House still doesn't get it.
		He still doesn't get it.
		I'm surprised people cheered that in there.
		Seriously, it's 2025. Who is cheering for the words fiscal responsibility?
		Again, as a principle, sure.
		Great.
		I'm glad the government is not.
		This isn't about waste.
		It's not about fraud.
		Those are the mechanisms.
		Those are the tools by which they have conquered our nation and are destroying us.
		That's the problem.
		That's the real problem.
		Money's a problem too, but it's just like, what is it going to take?
		What is it?
		We just have to replace all these people.
		We have to replace all of them, honestly.
		My mind is going through what particular Roman emperors did in this type of situation.
		Usually what they would do is just expand the Senate massively.
		Maybe Trump just goes, alright, everybody's getting a third Senate seat.
		Every state is getting a third Senate seat.
		And then we just have like a MAGA party that just composes one-third of the Senate overnight.
		Something like that.
		I don't know, but it's exhausting with these people.
		How do they not get what's going on at this point?
		Alright, just final thing I'll say, but just final note, just to reiterate myself here.
		Whatever.
		It doesn't matter.
		It doesn't matter.
		I'll just say the same thing over and over.
		But it's just a little frustrating.
		It's just a little frustrating that Speaker of the House is talking about fiscal responsibility like they have for several decades.
		When under that mantra, they sat there and watched as trillions of dollars were robbed from us.
		Again, I would have a little bit more acceptance of these claims of fiscal responsibility if, again, Trillions of dollars wasn't stolen from us directly under your watch.
		That's the whole point of Congress is to control the purse strings.
		You've been sitting there while a gigantic siphon has been attached to our bank account.
		Trillions of dollars are stolen and you're sitting here acting like you're the fiscally responsible one.
		No, give us the money back.
		Just give us the money back.
		Give it to the banks to pay off the debt that we shouldn't even have in the first place.
		So anyway, I'm glad to see Trump and Elon at least seem to understand it, seem to get what's going on here.
		Let's go to clip number 16. Here's a little report of Elon and J.D. Vance at CPAC from yesterday.
		Let's watch.
jd vance ▲ ● ▼		Everything the president has done on the border, we have got to empower him to do it, not just for a month, but for the next four years.
		And we've got to hire more border patrol agents.
		We've got to give Tom Homan and Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem the resources they need to secure the border.
		Not to return to the border, but I think so many of our issues come back to the border because if you take 30, 40 million illegal aliens, you take Medicare fraud.
		Social security fraud.
		Why are we taking the people's social security payments and giving it to illegal aliens?
		We know that's happening in the United States of America today.
		We've got to stop it.
		If you get control of the border, Mercedes, you do more to control the fiscal problem, the financial problems that we have in this country than almost anything.
		Get illegal aliens out of our country.
		Make sure American tax dollars go to American people.
		That is how you solve the fiscal crisis in the United States of America.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Again, it's just very simple, common sense sort of stuff.
		The left somehow has the American people in this state of imposed stupidity where they can't understand how extra 10 million people in a country might drive up home prices, might lower wages if these people are from a third world country with bare minimum comforts where they'll be thrilled with...
		Living conditions that would be appalling to the average middle class American.
		I don't know how they've done it.
		I've explained it again.
		You can explain to a leftist how cow farts release methane, which are greenhouse gases, which go into the atmosphere and block the sun.
		Rays that are bouncing back from Earth into space.
		You can draw this line of causality from cow farts to...
		To New Orleans being flooded.
		And they're just like, yep, makes total sense.
		Perfect sense.
		Ban all cows.
		Ban all cows.
		Kill them all now.
		Kill everybody who eats meat.
		I get it.
		We have to save the earth.
		Kill all the cows.
		They're like, not only do they understand this obscure, this convoluted chain of causality, but they're like extremist about it.
		And it becomes a moral imperative that you do whatever it takes to...
		Affect this chain anywhere down the line.
		They get that perfectly.
		But then you try to explain to them, like, if 10,000 new people move into a town, the price of houses is going to go up because there's going to be a lot of competition for houses.
		And they're just like, what?
		What are you talking about?
		That's insane.
		That doesn't make any sense.
		How are immigrants driving up home prices?
		This is nonsense.
		That's crazy.
		I don't get it.
		It's not complicated.
		It's very simple.
		And J.D. Vance has laid it out there.
		You bring in tens of millions of people.
		You put them on welfare and Social Security.
		You pay for their hospital.
		You pay for their education.
		You buy them homes.
		They take your jobs.
		Like, how is this good for America at all anywhere?
		How do you not understand the compounding effects, negative effects this has in every aspect of American life and the American economy?
		It's very obvious.
		All of this, very common sense.
		That's what's the best thing about...
		The new Trump administration is just all very simple common sense.
		Nothing is radical.
		There's no crazy change taking place.
		Everything is just like, hey, shouldn't we be normal?
		Yeah, we probably should.
		Hey, should we not let 10,000 people cross our border every single day?
		Yeah, let's not do that.
		Let's stop that from happening.
		Great.
		Done.
		It's done.
		What's the issue?
		How have we not done this 50 years ago?
		It's crazy.
		It's crazy it's taken this long.
		Immigration is, of course, a big topic.
		Elon Musk at CPAC took on this topic as well, making some claims that are, of course, obvious to everybody, but he claims to have some proof or some extra detail as to how this scheme was carried out.
		The scheme I'm talking about is the one in which the Democrats import millions of people to vote for them, replacing American voters.
		Let's go to clip number two now.
elon musk ▲ ● ▼		Elon Musk at CPAC. Well, I think it's really important for people to understand that the Biden administration sent any possible money that they could, if there was money they could send to facilitate and amplify illegal immigration, they sent it.
elon musk ▲ ● ▼		They took money from FEMA, meant for helping Americans in distress, and sent that money to luxury hotels for illegal immigrants in New York.
unidentified		That is an outrage.
elon musk ▲ ● ▼		They actually did that.
		And not only that, even after the president signed an executive order saying it has to stop, the sort of deep state bureaucrats still pressed send on $80 million last week to go to the Roosevelt Hotel in New York and other places.
		Last week.
		And now they're mad that it got stopped.
		And they're trying to sue to have it be restored.
		It's like, the gumption isn't unreal.
unidentified		You think they're creating a new voter class?
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Do you think that was the goal when they opened up the borders for four years?
unidentified		Create a new voter class, get them citizenship, get them in, green cards, vote.
elon musk ▲ ● ▼		A lot of these things, you don't actually have to assume some grand conspiracy.
elon musk ▲ ● ▼		You just need to look at basic incentives.
unidentified		Benefits.
elon musk ▲ ● ▼		So if the incentives, fundamentally...
		If the probability that an illegal is going to vote Democrat at some point, whether it's cheating, but eventually they can become citizens.
		But if the probability is like 80-90%, just look at California, which is supermajority Dem, then the incentive is to maximize the number of illegals in the country.
		That is why the Biden administration was pushing to get in as many illegals as possible.
		And spend every dollar possible to get as many, because every one of them is a customer.
		Every one is a voter.
robert f kennedy-jr ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
elon musk ▲ ● ▼		So the whole thing was a giant voter importation scam.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Pretty obvious.
elon musk ▲ ● ▼		Very obvious.
		And then moreover, they actually created the CVP1 voter app thing, where they literally fly people in.
		It's not like, at the point at which...
		You know, people being flown in at your expense.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Sending planes.
robert f kennedy-jr ▲ ● ▼		Building a wall.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Doesn't matter.
elon musk ▲ ● ▼		They're literally flying them in.
jd vance ▲ ● ▼		No other country in the world would do something like this.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Nobody is this stupid.
elon musk ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and then we found that it was like a $100 million contract given to some guy in London, actually, oddly enough, for the CVP1 app.
elon musk ▲ ● ▼		So they're flying illegals into the swing states.
robert f kennedy-jr ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
elon musk ▲ ● ▼		And if you've got like a margin of victory of maybe 20,000 people and you fly 200,000 illegals into that state, it's not going to be a swing state for long.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Change the numbers.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Eventually.
robert f kennedy-jr ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
jd vance ▲ ● ▼		Maybe in four or eight years you're excited about perpetual power.
unidentified		It's just a matter of time.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		It's a long game.
elon musk ▲ ● ▼		It's just a matter of time.
		So it might take like a year for an asylum seeker or something to get a green card and then five years for the citizenship.
		Is there an investment that is guaranteed to pay off?
robert f kennedy-jr ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
elon musk ▲ ● ▼		Just a question of when.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		They all remember who brought them in and who left them here.
elon musk ▲ ● ▼		Exactly.
unidentified		Exactly.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		I want to go.
		Well, and they also just, you know, they're not bringing in white South Africans for a reason.
		Let's just say that.
		Right?
		They know who they're bringing in.
		Welcome back.
		Ladies and gentlemen, this is the second hour of America.
		So a lot to cover in today's program.
		We're going to be joined actually later this hour by Matt Baker.
		He's going to come on to talk to us about his new initiative, taking Doge to San Diego.
		Getting them a dose of reality, Department of San Diego Efficiency.
		Talking about how just average people in their own towns and cities across America can be inspired by what Trump is doing.
		And do it to their localities as well.
		Very excited to talk to him.
		We'll be joined by Rachel Blevins in the third hour.
		We'll talk about the international situation, Gaza, Ukraine, and so much more.
		But I have a lot of videos to get to still.
		And I want to go now to a pair of videos.
		The first is from CPAC against J.D. Vance.
		Again, just laying down the most basic American beliefs you've ever seen.
		And this is a revolutionary act in this.
		Holy, distorted empire of lies that we are held in today.
		Here's J.D. Vance being asked about the role of masculinity in modern America.
		Let's watch.
jd vance ▲ ● ▼		My message to young men is don't allow this broken culture to send you a message that you're a bad person because you're a man, because you like to tell a joke, because you like to have a beer with your friends, or because you're competitive.
jd vance ▲ ● ▼		It's...
unidentified		Our...
jd vance ▲ ● ▼		Like, our message, the cultural message, and I think the president's and mine is the exact opposite, but our cultural message is, I think that it wants to turn everybody, whether male or female, into androgynous idiots who think the same culture. into androgynous idiots who think the same culture.
		talk the same, and act the same.
		We actually think God made male and female for a purpose.
		And we want you guys to thrive as young men and as young women.
		And we're going to help with our public policy to make it possible to do that.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		It's been overdue for a long time, the reassertion of basic everything, just basicness.
		Yeah, heteronormativity might be one way to put it.
		But it's like, yeah, let's not denigrate and insult and...
		Give complexes to our young men.
		Like, is this really that complicated?
		I mean, it's been, it's been like 10 years since it all really got going.
		It was like 2016, even a little bit before 2015 and so when, you know, the phrase like toxic masculinity started going around.
		And like, it never should have even gotten off the ground.
		The instant anybody heard that should have been, you know, met with outrage.
		What are you talking about?
		Toxic masculinity.
		What outcome do you think this is going to have?
		So we've had to suffer this for a decade, but it seems like we're finally just returning to normality.
		Let's go now to clip number...
		Oh, shoot.
		You know what?
		This is a little longer than I thought, so we're going to have to...
		I'm going to have to save that one, actually.
		We'll do that one on the other side, because I definitely want to get to the whole thing.
		In the meantime, we do have time to get to clip number five here.
		Like I said, the A-team is...
		Is in Washington, and they really are firing on all filters.
		Here's Pam Bondi, Attorney General, talking about disclosures that will be coming out very shortly.
		Let's watch.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Scaring bad guys is something Cash has talked about a lot, and you have, when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein and the people who are predators in this country.
		They've been given a pass, and a lot of Americans think these guys have got to pass for a long time, and maybe even are still being protected right now.
		Where are we at with the Jeffrey Epstein list, the documents?
		And Cash has made a lot of public statements about this.
unidentified		Where are we at?
unidentified		I was briefed on that yesterday.
pam bondi ▲ ● ▼		I can't talk about that publicly, but, you know, President Trump has given a very strong directive, and that's going to be followed.
unidentified		Wow.
unidentified		OK.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		A lot of documents.
		Yeah.
		OK.
		All right.
		So people can expect actual movement on this, not just empty promises.
unidentified		Oh, Donald Trump doesn't make empty promises.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		I think promises made, promises kept.
unidentified		And that's why we're all there to carry out his directive about making America safe and prosperous.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		It looks like disclosures about Epstein will be released, as well as about P. Diddy.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Trump AG Bondi confirms Epstein and Diddy Dox to be released, exposing globalist pedo blackmail operations.
unidentified		missions.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Should we be betting on what's going to be in these releases?
unidentified		Do we think we're really going to get full-scale releases?
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		It's exciting, one way or another.
		Just know we've been telling you the entire time.
		The releases will just be confirmation of what we've always seen.
unidentified		All right, welcome back, folks.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		This is the American Journal, Infowars.com, band.video.
		Again, the Trump administration is fully impaneled.
		Now, Castro Tell, RFK Jr., Pete Hegseth, Pam Bondi, Caroline Levitt, Tulsi Gabbard, they're all in place and already achieving a massive victory.
		It's been one month, one day since the inauguration.
		Already he's had more success than basically any other Republican in my lifetime, maybe living memory.
		Which is just incredible to see.
		Still some Republican holdovers.
		Kind of pathetic.
		And actually that ties into what we're talking about because we just showed the clip of J.D. Vance doing what every Republican should have done the entire time, which is just argue against the left in a forceful and confident way that doesn't cede any ground to them.
		It's really not hard.
		It's not difficult.
		I don't know why they can't do it.
		Like, number one response to the outrageous claims of the left, the blood libel, the sheer insanity when it comes to gender or race or anything.
		You know, the response typically is like the General Milley response where it's like, I want to know about white rage.
		I've heard about white rage and I'm scared.
		I want to know what I'm scared of.
		Why are white people so bad?
		And it's just like, There's this pathetic, groveling attempt to look like the good guys to your enemies.
		It's really kind of gross.
		And the same thing happened with gender.
		Well, I mean, I just...
		There's so many examples of Republican Congresses passing some ban on child mutilation, ban on castrating or chemically retarding children because they have a mental illness that they got from the Disney Channel.
		The mental illness that was sold to them on TikTok as a style, as a trend to follow, now they're being permanently disfigured over it.
		A Republican Congress would pass a law to ban that type of operation, and the Republican governor would veto it.
		He'd exercise his veto power to make sure that children could continue to be castrated.
		And it's like, well, but this is just what my advisors are telling me.
		The media says to do, so that's what I'm doing.
		It's just like, literally all we've needed this whole time is for just American men to say no.
		Just go, no.
		No, it's not happening.
		Oh, but we really, but this man really thinks he's a woman.
		Well, okay, no.
		But no, but the answer is no.
		End of discussion.
		Like, that's it.
		That's all it needs to be.
		Well, but talk, but we're really concerned about...
		Toxic masculinity.
		And if you could just make a statement condemning toxic masculinity, no.
		Toxic masculinity?
		What the hell are you talking about?
		No.
		Masculinity is good.
		Men and women are different for a reason.
		It's good for boys to be aggressive, to be competitive.
		What the hell are you talking about?
		It's just been so obvious from the very beginning that all of these things are exclusively designed to weaken us.
		It could not be more obvious.
		They go up to a population and go, hey, what if we feminized all of your young men?
		Okay, what if we put a gun in your mouth and pulled the trigger?
		It's a threat.
		They're weakening us in every possible way.
		People think it's principled to go along with it or something.
		It's weird.
		It's weird, man.
		It's weird how it's taken this long.
		It's weird how it's taken a full-fledged decade for even one politician.
		The level of J.D. Vance to forcefully push back against this stuff.
		And of course the way he's doing it is unimpeachable.
		They'll screech.
		They'll call him sexist.
		They'll call him whatever.
		Who cares?
		He's clearly just telling the truth.
	And that's all he should have been doing the entire time.
	So it's pathetic that these old men are still going along with the scheme that they've seen in their lives destroy their entire country.
	It's the craziest part.
	I came to the tail end of this thing, right?
	By the 90s, it already largely slipped away.
	Can you imagine growing up in like the 50s and 60s, seeing the world that you grew up in just melted by the acid of liberalism, just destroyed, disfigured, turned into this abomination of a civil society that we have now, and you still don't get it?
	Again, I'm confused at all this because it seems like it's those guys who should be the most aware of what we've lost and the most vociferous and outraged and aggressive in fighting back against the poison that has crippled us.
	But instead, it's the young people.
	For some reason, the young people get it.
	Even J.D. Vance is not that young, but he gets it more than others.
	And the younger people younger than J.D. Vance get it way more than him.
	They're way more intense.
	This is all kind of tied in together with this old guard, old school, principled Republican scam that they've been running is over.
	They just don't realize it yet.
	You got Mike Johnson up there going, I don't know if we should be giving out $5,000 to every American.
	I mean, I know it's free money that we could give to our constituents and thereby solidify our control over the levers of government, massively benefit the economy of the United States.
	I get personal loyalty from a vast swath of the population who decides loyalty on the basis of what they get from certain people.
	I get that it would be an absolute boon and benefit in every possible way, but I'm a principled conservative.
	So I think we should give the money to the banks.
	I think the banks deserve that money for how they so skillfully hijacked our monetary system.
	Considering that they tricked us into...
	Saddling us with debt every time they print one of our dollars.
	I think they deserve all the excess money that we found they were stealing.
	Those same people.
	Just go away.
	Mike Johnson needs to get the hell out of Washington, D.C. as soon as possible.
	And it's going to be sooner rather than later.
	Because, look, the chutzpah, the confidence, the overconfidence of these people is fascinating.
	They've been incapable of maintaining their principled stance of decreasing the size of government, something they've never been able to achieve ever.
	They've never been able to hold the line against the flood of liberalism and leftism.
	But they think they can stand up against the MAGA version of that, that's coming in and going, stop talking about fiscal responsibility.
	We want action.
	We want benefits for us.
	We want the American people to thrive.
	Shut the hell up about principled conservatism.
	And these people are like, well, if you take a look at our decades-long record of failure, I think we have this one in the bag.
	I think we'll be able to maintain and hold our principled stance against now the wave of leftism is being joined by the wave of MAGA telling us to get out of the way.
	But we'll stand against him.
	It's like you are going to be washed out to sea immediately.
	It's over, dude.
	It's over.
	It's over.
	And you need to realize this.
	For the sake of our country and for the sake of your own personal political career, right?
	Young people are way farther to the right culturally than these old men Republicans, okay?
	And there's an obvious reason why.
	Let's go to clip number 14 now.
	This is a local radio guy from Houston.
	I first heard about him when he went on with Owen, I believe.
	I think he went or maybe Owen went on his show.
	His name is Kenny Webster.
	At Kenneth R. Webster on X. And here he is breaking down why young Americans are shifting so far to the right.
	All right, let's watch.
unidentified		Young men right now are skewing more conservative than ever before in the history of the country.
		You might wonder why.
		You look around the country right now at what is happening, and you ask yourself, how did it get this bad?
		And the answer you get from college professors, high school professors, people in positions of authority, they'll look at the person asking that question, this 17-year-old, 16-year-old, 19-year-old, and say, it's your fault.
		It's my fault.
		I'm 17.
		I just finished high school 10 minutes ago.
		How could it be my...
		No, it's your fault.
		You're young, you're male, toxic masculinity.
		Misculinity, cisgendered, heteronormative patriarchy.
		You notice how whenever liberals need to win a fight, they make up words?
		Where do you think trans activists learn that from?
		Communist party leaders that seem to have taken over the Democrat Party.
		Young men are looking at women, their age, and they're asking themselves, why are the standards so different?
		Men are still expected to adhere to the same financial responsibilities they had back in the 1800s.
		Pay for the woman.
		Pay for the date.
		Support the family.
		You pay for dinner.
		You pay for the vacation.
		But, despite the fact that they're now expected to be held to the same standards, you know, 100 years ago or whatever, women are not.
		Women are supposed to get all the equality, all the freedom, but they're not supposed to have to answer the door, open the door, pay for dinner.
		People on the left have told young white kids, "You're the problem." And then black men stood there and they were, you know, I was like, well, wait, am I the problem?
		Well, you're a man, so you're part of the problem.
		And then, you know, Hispanic guys are like, well, what about us?
		Are we the problem?
		Well, that depends.
		How much money do your parents earn?
		Oh, no, you're the problem, too.
		Asians were a minority until five minutes ago.
		In California, Asians are now considered to be white.
		It's silly and ridiculous and stupid.
		Young people like to win.
		Do you feel like the Biden administration won anything?
		Joe Biden quote unquote won the election and even he's a loser.
		It's abundantly obvious.
		Trump declared a national emergency at the southern border.
		That's a big win.
		Illegal crossings went down from like 11,000 a day to a couple hundred.
		The numbers have dropped so much, and we were repeatedly told over and over again, this could never happen without Congress passing some bill.
		And yet Donald Trump did it without that.
		Deportation flights of criminal illegal aliens ramped up.
		You think this doesn't matter to young people?
		It matters.
		You know what else matters to young people?
		Crypto.
		Crypto is very popular with the hip hop community, with rappers.
		It creates a decentralized currency you can use on the internet to buy and sell things without some big brother looking and breathing down your throat, telling you what you can and can't do with your money.
		That makes a big difference.
		Even if they're not doing anything illegal, that makes a big difference to people.
		To young libertarian-minded people, liberty-oriented people, the fact that they're allowed to say what they want, do what they want, think what they want without being punished for it, that's the cool party now.
		The Republicans are the party that say, hey, someone told a dirty joke.
		Get over it.
		That used to be the Democrats.
		The Democrats created an economy you couldn't afford to live in because everything was too expensive.
		The Democrats created an economy where they shamed you for having a fuel combustion vehicle.
		And then, weirdly enough, they didn't create a power grid that was able to sustain all these EVs.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, kind of weird how that worked out.
		And obviously he's exactly right.
		And it goes beyond the political.
		It goes beyond the cultural even.
		It's like...
		Yeah, young people are growing up in a world that is just completely and utterly broken.
		Where everything is inverted and backwards and weird and bizarre.
		I mean, you've got...
		And trust me, it's weird.
		It's weird.
		I have cousins.
		They're graduated from college now.
		But like last year, you know, they were in college.
		And like, even, you know, in their freshman year and stuff, they were talking about how the culture now is for like young women.
		And, you know, these are like good kids.
		They're like, you know, literally they're choir boys, right?
		These are like cousins.
		They're not hanging out with the fast and loose crowd, right?
		They're, you know, in theater troops and choirs and things.
		Their group of friends is not the extreme group, and yet, you know, they would tell stories where it's just like, you know, the girls would just always brag about how many people they'd slept with, and it was like a, you know, a mark of status, how, like, slutty you would be, basically.
		The bigger of a whore you are, the better, the cooler you are.
		And, like, you know, not to sound like a prude or anything, but, like, it's weird.
		That's very weird to have...
		You know, young 18-year-old women who just, like, think it's really cool to be super blasé about, like, having slept with dozens of people.
		And it's just like, this is creepy because at the same time, statistically, the younger generations are having less sex than any generation before.
		People in the 1950s in high school had more intimate contact with the opposite sex than kids today.
		So you've got a generation.
		That is, like, been watching porn since they were eight on their iPad.
		They're, like, incredibly perverted and, like, promote, you know, open sexuality as, like, a, you know, a marker of their status in society.
		Well, at the same time, statistically, they're all just, like, alone and scared of intimacy and have never touched any of the opposite sex.
		So it's, like, this weird...
		Just destruction of anything normal that young kids are growing up with and they're sick of it and they just want things to be normal again.
		It's really not that good.
		It's also clearly a directed attack at white kids, obviously.
		White boys in particular.
		White girls as well.
		A failure to launch while young people are having less sex.
		Yeah, it's like not a good thing.
		It's not a good thing.
		So it just goes way beyond the economy.
		And same thing we talk about all the time where it's, you know, older generations think that the young generation is just lazy.
		But the older generation had motive.
		It had a reason to be working hard because it benefited them.
		Because if you worked hard, you would succeed.
		If you worked hard, it would be rewarded and you could have a nice life.
		Without working too, too hard, right?
		You just did what was necessary.
		You worked eight hours a day, five days a week, and you were pretty much set for life.
		You could retire at like 55 and have multiple vacation homes.
		It was pretty sweet.
		It was pretty nice a couple generations ago.
		Kids are perfectly willing to work hard today.
		It's just they know and they're being told and it's being designed for them, the world, in a way to where they will never own anything.
		They'll never own a house.
		They'll never own a car.
		Probably never get married.
		Probably don't want to get married.
		Because of the way the gender relations have been destroyed on purpose, by design.
		It's psychological terrorism against young men and young women.
		I had a video yesterday, but it ties into it.
		And I don't want to get too off track because we've got a lot of other political stuff to talk about.
		But you go on and on about the cultural impact of all of this.
		The cultural impact of targeting white people in particular.
		But, you know, the way girls are falling for this as well.
	Because, you know, mental illness, it is something you can actually control.
	Like I understand some mental illnesses is mysterious and overpowering.
	But you can also very easily indoctrinate yourself into trauma.
	It's weird, but again, I've seen this in my personal life.
	Kind of a lot, actually.
	Where a young woman who is totally normal, happy, successful, good relationships, doing good at work or whatever.
	They get into this cultural milieu of like, you're just suppressing your trauma.
	Let's unpack your trauma.
	And they go from, like, totally happy, successful, and normal, and they just degrade.
	And, like, in a single year, they become, like, catatonic.
	They, like, can't, all the relationships fall apart.
	They start, you know, piercing their face and giving themselves tattoos, and they just look like, and then they're on SSRIs and, you know, depression pills because they've been convinced they have trauma they have to deal with, and so they then, like, hyper-focus on their trauma.
	So, again, it's all to say, it's just like...
	The number of things that are affecting young people that are deliberately designed and on purpose targeting them to destroy their mental capacity, separate them from the opposite sex, set them up for failure later on, destroy their hope and motivation in achieving anything.
	It's been a decade of this being blasted at 100% capacity on every level of the culture.
	It has to end.
	It has to be reversed.
	And we have to give a reason for our young people to actually believe in this country.
	A country that for their entire lifetimes, if they're young enough, has just been systematically degrading and humiliating and bastardizing them.
	Clip number 11 sort of ties into this because obviously...
	You talk about mental health, you talk about human relationships, you talk about all these things, you talk about physical health as well.
	And all this stuff that I'm talking about all now, at least in part, falls under the purview of RFK Jr. as he takes on the health, the many-layered health crises in this country.
	Clip number 11, RFK Jr. is asked about the danger that he's putting himself in.
	By taking on these incredibly powerful, entrenched, and ruthless interests in D.C. Let's watch.
jd vance ▲ ● ▼		Will, last question.
unidentified		Hey, Mr. Kennedy, I think you're going to win and I'm a boomer.
		You are going after some of the largest entities that exist.
		Big Pharma, Big Agra, Big Government, the CIA, the FBI. Do you think that that means that we elect you, right?
		Are you going to live?
		Are they going to come after you?
robert f kennedy-jr ▲ ● ▼		Well, you know, that's not something, Will, that I worry about.
		I think there are, you know, I'm not stupid about it.
		So I have, you know, the government, the White House has denied me Secret Service protection.
		But I do take precautions and I have a very good security firm, Gavin DeBecker Associates, that is doing my security right now.
		So I'm not, like, stupid about it.
		But it's not something that preoccupies me.
		I was raised in a family where we were taught that, number one, there's a lot worse things than dying.
		And one of those things is living like a slave or having our children lose all the freedoms that so many generations of Americans died to give us and to protect during the Revolutionary War.
		There was a whole generation of Americans that...
		With their lives on the line, their fortunes, their property, their salaries, their reputations, their contacts, on a line to purchase us these freedoms.
		And many of them died.
		During the Civil War, 659,000 Americans died to keep these freedoms.
		And we have to be willing, our generation, to make sacrifices to make sure that we don't lose them.
		And we've seen attacks, unprecedented attacks.
		On our freedom of speech, on our freedom of worship, on all of the amendments of the Constitution over the past three years.
		They're unprecedented.
		And it's important for everybody to stand up and say, we're not going to do this.
		Even if there's some risks involved, reputational risks, salary risks, we need to make sacrifices for our country.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Still running as a Democrat.
		Obviously, he's asked, you know, if you win.
		But it rings true today as he's still taking on these very powerful forces.
		And again, the message there, and I choose to believe it.
		I choose to believe he's the real deal, saying there are things worse than dying.
		And he seems compelled to do this by destiny almost.
		So it's absolutely amazing to see.
		When we get back on the other side, we're going to be joined by Matt Baker.
		Of course, coming off his bombshell diatribe against the San Diego City Council.
		We might just play it again.
		We might just play that clip.
		Maybe we'll play a clip from it or something.
		But it's fantastic because, as we said in the beginning of this program, it's not just the federal government that is wasteful with your money to this degree.
		It's happening on the local, state, city, county level as well.
		And so, I don't know if this was really part of a plan or if this can just develop naturally, but I would love to see what Matt Baker's doing go nationwide and have basically a doge for every city.
		Citizens keeping their city council in check and finding out where their money is going and demand cuts be made.
		That absolutely needs to happen.
		And at the end of the day, If there's one thing that has led to the success of Infowars, not just as a company making news and putting out broadcasts, but as a force for political change, it's been the average American getting out there and getting involved.
		Alex Jones was always a threat from what he talked about.
		Owen Troyer was always a threat from what he talked about.
		It was the on-the-ground activism that made them an existential threat.
		It was the...
		Not just talking about these events, but encouraging our listeners to be involved, to know that they can change these events.
		You don't have to be passive.
		You actually have to be aggressive and get involved and change the world.
		that makes us dangerous.
unidentified		music
unidentified		- For that, things are changing, folks.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		You can find that video at Real Alex Jones or at Media Rival, the work of our very own Darren McBreen.
		Yeah, things are changing and only getting better.
		Joining me to discuss this, the first month of Trump's administration, as well as the absolute bombshell speech that you saw at the beginning of this show, is the one and only Matt Baker.
		He's the man you want to be, Alex Jones with dreadlocks.
		And it says here a six-pack, Matt.
		I understand you have a six-pack.
		You can find him on X at slave underscore two underscore liberty or on band.video at slave to liberty.
		His Instagram is mattbaker underscore unhinged.
		X again, slave underscore the number two underscore liberty.
		Matt Baker, future mayor of San Diego.
		I'm standing right now.
		Welcome to the show, sir.
unidentified		Harrison, it is great to see you, man.
unidentified		Oh, man, I was having so much fun giving it to those guys last night, you know?
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		It was another classic.
		Add it to the real, man.
		Some of the speeches you've given have truly been incredible.
		This one I loved because not only were you giving them a piece of your mind, obviously, but you were laying out the facts.
		You were, you know, not just sort of incoherently screaming, like, stop spending our money.
		You were going, here's what you're spending money on.
		Here's why it's stupid to do that.
		What's been the response to your speech from the city council or anybody else who heard it?
unidentified		Well, you know, it's actually, I just put it on this morning.
		I've had three hours of sleep.
		I did a little bit of editing to do some B-roll of their responses last night, and it actually took a little longer than I thought to do.
		And then I had to wake up this morning to get it up so that it would be good for East Coast time.
		If I want to get stuff to go viral, I need to get it up on the East Coast.
		But, you know, it's funny because the whole time I was thinking we need our own...
		Doge, our own Department of Government Efficiency, the DOS, the Department of San Diego Efficiency.
		And so I was joking around with this idea.
		And then I heard that there was this meeting.
		So I showed up at it.
		And then there's this independent board of, what do they call themselves again?
		The Independent Budget Analysists, right?
		And so I'm like, oh my God.
		And it seemed like it was not a city thing.
		It was in this little hall.
		I'm like, wow, they've actually got this going.
		And when I showed up, they're like, well, you know, we think we might have found like $100 million of the $250 plus million that were shy in the hole, if you will.
		And so I'm sitting down there waiting for them to start like laying out, you know, some doge type stuff like, hey, we found this over here and we found that over there and we can cut this and we can cut that.
		It was not that at all.
		The entire time they were just obfuscating the entire thing.
		They're just like, well, with the DPI percentages coming back from the TTPs on the 30 year, you know, just totally making everybody like glaze over in the crowd.
		And at the whole time, they're just like, look, guys, you just need to pay more taxes.
		The reason why we're not doing well is because you didn't pass the one-cent budget sales tax increase.
		So they wanted an extra cent.
		And then we're also already paying for trash as part of our general fund.
		And so now they're like, well, we're going to start charging you for trash.
		And they created this giant...
		It was so deceptive how they did that.
		They said, would you like extra trash cans and extra recycling and help the...
		County recover their expenses at no extra cost.
		So the recovering expenses turned out to be $80 million.
		But they were like, at no extra cost at the end, because you would get to have extra recycling at no extra cost other than the $80 million they were going to add to the general fund, which they were already getting paid for.
		So they tried to tack on $80 million from the trash, then one-cent sales tax.
		And then now they doubled the price of the parking meters.
		And now they're saying they're going to ticket us if we park within 15 feet of the curb, too, of the corners.
		So it all came to a head.
		I've been going nice on Todd Gloria the whole time here because, you know, he's a fairly nice guy.
		I've shook his hand before, and he gets out there and he talks about the issues.
		But once this budget situation came up, I'm like, you know, I need to look into this and I want to see if I can find some glaring mistakes myself from the little bit of information that they actually put out there.
		And like the first thing I do is while he's saying, oh, he's like on one screen on the news saying, you know, we're $257 million in debt and we're just struggling to figure it out.
		And then I turn the channel, and he's over in Hillcrest, which is the gayest part of San Diego.
		No joke.
		It's on the corner of Normal and Harvey Milk, where they have the world's largest rainbow flag.
		And every single restaurant in the entire town has a rainbow flag.
		And I'm like, guys, you've got what appears to be a pretty gay town, but I need more rainbows.
		Guys, we've got to have more rainbows in the town.
		And so they decided they're going to spend $27 million.
		On a promenade, a little pedestrian area that they nicely have, it's going to be surrounded by rainbows and rainbow flags and Rainbow Kitty Park.
		And it's like this big, giant, you know, festival for these guys to, I don't even want to get into it.
		I'm not going to say they're grooming, but it's a little weird that they got to put the kids park right in the middle of it.
		And so then I'm watching this thing and they say, oh, but don't worry, we're paying for it with the parking meter increase.
		So I'm like, I thought the parking meter increase was supposed to be like helping.
		The money that we're already, like, in the hole.
		But meanwhile, we can't even surface our streets with just black blacktop.
		But over there, they're going to have, like, every color of the rainbow.
		It's going to be perfect.
		And you know they're going to have to keep that thing up, constantly painting it.
		Someone's going to burn out on it, and it's going to be a hate crime, and they're going to have to be out there every few weeks painting this thing.
		And I was like, so not only...
		Then they shut down the pedestrian district downtown.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that was the crazy part to me because I wasn't even sure if you were just like, you know, coming up with an example of something that could, but all of that's real, that they were shutting down one promenade because they couldn't afford it while simultaneously spending $27 million to build a brand new gay one over in the gay part of town.
unidentified		Big gay Al's big gay part, right?
		And it's like, so it honestly was like just a God thing almost because I was sitting there wondering like, I was already pissed off about the parking meters.
		And then a good buddy of mine, Dan Plant, he's always covering the local stuff.
		He's like a real news reporter on KOSI locally.
		And he's down there like, they're going to save money by, they have these bollards in the street that they block off at night when they have like, you know, big games.
		Like the Padre Stadium is right there.
		So you can walk from the party.
		Padre Stadium, right down there, and they have all these clubs, and they have all these restaurants, and it's a whole scene, right?
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right, and you block off the street to car traffic just to allow pedestrians free.
unidentified		It's almost like a little mini Vegas at night.
		It's like a great place for adults to go.
		The best-looking women are out there, all dressed up to the nines.
		You've got people out there.
		It's a whole thing, right?
		And it's been going on since like 1853 or whatever, that it's been a situation in the center of San Diego.
		And they go, well, we're going to save money, which costing us too much money to shut.
		The street down.
		When all it is, is these metal bollards on the end.
		And you just put them in.
		I actually, before I went to this thing, I've been down there.
		I was trying to put a report together about it.
		That's why I have all these numbers in my head.
		Because I'm like, wouldn't you guys just go out there and put the bollards out for free?
		And they're like, yeah, we would.
		It's hurting our business.
		This is killing us.
		These guys have basically shut down our entire business by doing this.
		And then as I'm like, I need to find something, I need to find something, and I'm looking up, I'm like, oh my god, this promenade, it's costing $27 million, which is a 10% of the total budget shortfall.
		So there's one big gay project.
		Look at this guy, the so-called mayor, that freak with the hat, right?
		Todd Gloryhole named him the wannabe mayor of Gaytown right there.
		Look at this guy.
		This is the mayor of Hillcrest.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		That's the actual mayor?
		He's wearing a top hat and a big sash that says mayor?
		Like he's a cartoon character?
unidentified		Yeah, and that's, I don't know, you remember back a few Halloweens ago, I was down there where they were doing the grooming thing where they had the drag queens and all that, and they had the kids there that were putting the money in the G-strings and all that.
		Like that was in that same spot.
		So now they're turning it, it's not good enough to have it already be the biggest gay place in town.
		It's not good enough to call it Harvey Milk Road on Normal Street.
		And so now, yeah, there he is.
		There's Todd Gloryhole with him.
		I mean, Gloria.
		And so then I'm like, so A, they're charging the...
		All of my most hated things just fell into one thing.
		The budget is messed up.
		They're charging us over for the parking meters.
		Meanwhile, they're stealing the money from downtown, shutting downtown down.
		And the guy has the nerve, it's like, and all that money goes back to the community, which is, you know, a word that the gay community uses.
		So they're taking your money and putting it into their community.
		And meanwhile, we have no money for anything.
		But God forbid, I mean, why is it that we have all this money for gay projects?
		Like, if we could just cut the gayness out of the budget, we'd be pretty much there.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		You're talking about conversion therapy for your city budget.
		We need to un-gay the city budget and get back to a straight shooting, you could say.
		But no, look, it doesn't even make sense on the face of it.
		Obviously, the tax income generated by putting those bollards up.
		It massively outweighs the cost of putting those bullards up.
		So you're not even saving money anyway.
		It seems like just sort of, you know, cultural terrorism, right?
		They just would rather drive people to the gay part of town.
		So they're like, yeah, we're going to stop, you know, making it easy for this area of town to have pedestrian traffic.
		And I'm sure it is killing the businesses there.
		I'm sure they're not making as much money, which means they're not paying as much taxes, which means it's a losing money proposition in the end of the day.
		It reminds me of what Austin did.
		When they said we have, you know, we're spending too much money, we have to defund the police, but by the way, check out these incredible new license plate readers we have, you know, traveling around downtown, super high-tech surveillance to make sure that you're paying with the brand new, you know, Wi-Fi-enabled parking meters that we replaced the old meters with.
		It's like, okay, it's not that you don't have money, it's that you...
		Want the money going exclusively to squeezing every penny you can out of the taxpayer.
		And this is, you know, really why I think what you're doing, I hope it sort of starts a movement.
		I want to see more of this because as we've been talking about the waste of the federal government.
		I haven't even mentioned, we haven't even talked about the fact that these same type of programs exist in every municipality in the country.
		Every state has these programs.
		Every city has these programs.
		This mindset, the USAID mindset of just like, yeah, this is what the government's for.
		It's there as a...
		A treasure chest for me to plunder for my particular identity group.
		That's been spread all over the United States and we're being bled from a thousand different sources, not just the federal government.
		So I'd love to see what you did be done in cities around the country and have local municipalities come together and go, what can we cut?
		What are we wasting our money on?
		Because I think every city is, you're going to find things like what you found about San Diego.
unidentified		With that, let me give you a tip on how to do it, because after I did that, I was like, well, let me look again.
		We've got these guys.
		Those guys, by the way, I was like, these guys are not independent.
		So I ended up looking it up.
		They're getting $2.7 million or something like that from the very fund that they're supposed to be policing, right?
		And I just noticed it when I was looking at it.
		I was like, wait, these guys haven't found one single thing.
		There's nowhere they said, oh, you know, we might be paying a little bit too much for this.
		Yeah, we're trying to figure out why we spent, you know, a million dollars per mile on this street, but we only spent, you know, a thousand dollars per mile on the other street.
		Like, there's no numbers being crunched.
		There's no one questioning any number.
		Like, everyone's an angel and nobody ever tried to overbid a project or nobody ever tried to fluff anything up ever with billions of dollars on the line.
		So if you want to do this in your area, it's super simple.
		Just look up, first of all, you could probably put in Pride Project.
		And I just have a feeling you're going to hit gold right there.
		But also, I just looked up like project completed or project breaks ground, okay?
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		And then you basically just look up, and that's how I found the next one, which is this so-called affordable housing, which I did the math, $440,000 per unit, which is for them to remodel an existing...
unidentified		Extended stay.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Okay, that's the cold.
		I gotta stop you.
		That is the craziest thing.
		And the same type of stuff happens in Austin.
		We have almost exactly the same thing, where there's like a econo lot, some budget hotel that's shutting down, that the city goes, we want to buy this for the homeless population to live in.
		And then you break down the numbers.
		They're spending nearly half a million dollars per room at this crummy hotel.
		I mean, half a million dollars, you can buy a mansion in the suburbs around Austin for that.
		How are they spending this?
		I mean, genuinely, how can you spend half a million dollars on a single hotel room?
		If you gave me half a million dollars and said, you have to spend this on a hotel room, I'd be like, okay, I guess everything's going to be made out of gold.
		I don't know how to spend half a million dollars in one hotel room.
		You have to be trying to spend that much money.
		Dude, I think this should be a thing.
		It's got to be.
		That's got to be it.
		I mean, they're just stealing it.
		It's going to their friends.
		There's no—it is so astronomically high.
		It makes no sense at all.
		So dig down on that for me.
		But I think we should do this.
		I think this should be like a fixture of American Journal.
		This is a call for submissions.
		I'll know how we'll do it.
		But I want to see— People go into their city budgets and find waste and do the Doge thing, but for your local city, and we'll do a segment like every day on American Journal, just going through.
		Now we have a submission from Albuquerque.
		Albuquerque is spending this much on this.
		Take Doge to the local level and find out what these local governments are spending their money on.
		I think we should take this on as a mission of ours to try to spark this around the country.
		Sorry to interrupt, but when you said that in your speech, $440,000 per room to house homeless people.
		You could literally buy them a house.
		You could rent them a nice apartment for 10 years for that type of money.
		What could they possibly be spending this money on?
unidentified		It's kickbacks.
		They have no big contracts.
		They send it out to them.
		Unions and these union bosses basically get all these local politicians elected.
		All the union money is how these whack jobs keep getting elected, right?
		So here's the thing.
		So I actually tried to figure this out earlier, but I was looking.
		All they give you is pie charts.
		They just love charts.
		So when you look at it, you go, I want to know what the budget is.
		And I'm asking my friends and they sent me something like, yeah, I've seen that.
		It's a pie chart.
		It says infrastructure, 44% of a $5.3 billion budget, right?
		44% of 5.3%.
		So, how do you know?
		It's completely obscure.
		You need a line-by-line item.
		It's not like there's national security involved.
		It's not like San Diego's doing black ops.
		Like, we want to see every freaking dollar.
		Like, I can see the government saying, yeah, we got some slush funds that we gotta, you know, we gotta have that, you know?
		And so maybe they gotta go and talk to Trump and be like, bro, that's how, you know, that's how we get shit done.
		You know, it's like, but...
		San Diego doesn't have that.
		They certainly aren't running black ops down at the border or anything.
		So we want to see every...
		Thank you.
		Look at these guys.
		Wow, you're good.
		And you're supposed to figure out where the waste is.
		And this is what they show you at the meeting.
		They're like, well, this is 44% here, you see.
		And that's up 2% from last year, which was 42%.
		Which, when you percentage that out at the amortization of the...
		And then there was a part in the thing where they're like, you know, we could put a slurry on the road and fix the roads.
		But if we do that, it's going to cost more money.
		Because in the future, we're going to just need to redo the entire road.
		So we can't fix it now, because it's going to cost us more money to fix it later.
		And you're like, bro!
		And I asked the one guy, I'm like, how long have you been...
		Been in this agency when I still thought that they were like literally like a real, you know, independent agency.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Independent thing, yeah.
unidentified		It was like four years.
		I'm like, and they're like, oh, the budget's all messed up.
		I'm like, so either you're not finding the waste or they're not listening to you.
		Like, which one is it?
		They're like, excuse me, sir.
		That's why I started with like, oh, you think I'm being disrespectful?
		I'm like, no, I'm asking a legitimate question that I want to know is you guys are just bamboozling the people.
		They're basically there.
		Literally what it felt like was, you know, I've been to the hospital quite a bit and getting bad news.
		I felt like it was a doctor who's just like, bedside manner, and they're like, it's bad.
		Yeah, you got cancer.
		You're going to need chemo.
		You're like, I don't have cancer.
		Like, yeah, yeah, it's going to cost a lot of money.
		Yeah, it's going to change your life.
		They're just slowly easing it in, just lulling the people in.
		They have all these, this is another thing they do.
		They have all these meetings now where they make you feel involved, but really it's just a brainwashing session where they go in and they just give you these mantras of like, this is what we're doing.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		This is what you're doing.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		It's a release valve, so you can go and say your piece, and they'll act like they're listening to you, and then they just do whatever they're going to do anyway.
unidentified		Exactly.
		I've got to give a shout-out, again, to my buddy, my main man, Luke Slywaker.
		Go follow him, man.
		He was there filming that thing.
		He's such an inspiration.
		He's great.
		A lot of times I'm just like, oh, bro, I don't want to do it.
		He's like, come on.
		He shows up in my car.
		He's got the camera ready.
		We got the mics hooked up and everything like that.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, y'all are awesome.
		And he had some good videos of the protests during President's Day.
		I never got to play because we ran out of time on the show.
		But yeah, he's excellent.
		Luke Slywaker on X. And of course, you can follow Matt at slave underscore to underscore liberty.
		But I'm serious, man.
		Okay, so how do we export this?
		We're going to get you to become mayor of San Diego.
		Well, that's going to have to go on the back burner because I'm inspired by this.
		Local Doge initiative.
		Is that how we call it?
		Local Doge?
unidentified		What should we do?
		I feel like everything needs a slogan.
		That's why I came with DOS. If you can figure out a funny acronym for your town that's like BREXIT or FREXIT, just add your letter in of your town and tweak it to where it makes a funny sounding acronym.
		Local Doge.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		We're going to have to solidify this.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		You'll have to remind me and we'll work on this.
unidentified		Go to your town.
		Go just San Diego.
		If you're in New York, be like, New York, project breaks ground.
		Project finished.
		Don't look finished because those ones are already done.
		You want to get the one where they're just starting or about to break ground or approved.
		Project approved.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Project approved, yeah.
unidentified		And then just, dude, it's simple math.
		Simple math.
		I did this.
		I could have saved them.
		What was it?
		27 million for that, and it was the city portion of the, because they're actually getting 30-something million from the state, which is all more wasted money, but it was like 36 million from the city, so it was a total of like, it was like 70 million out of their 257 million budget that I figured out just on the internet in like two minutes!
		I'm not an accountant, I'm just running the simple numbers.
		I'm telling you, it's everywhere.
		And this is the thing, they're like, Oh, we can't cut this project.
		We can't cut that project.
		But the reality is they are bleeding money every second on every project all the time.
		Like if they can hire an extra friend to oversee the stamping of the envelope that's their buddy, they'll do it.
		If they can hire an extra guy to watch the guy watching the guy holding the shovel, they'll hire him.
		I'm serious.
		When I talk about, you know, no offense to the cops.
		It's probably protocol and whatever.
		But this is like...
		Back in the day, a cop would pull someone over, okay?
		Baton was like, hey, I need backup.
		Okay, two units, okay?
		Nowadays, every single event, a homeless guy yelling on the street, it's 15 cop cars pulled up.
		They're shutting off the whole road.
		In OB, they're literally running around with helicopters and this guy going, we're looking for a mail.
		Like, no idea how much this is all costing.
		Meanwhile, our peer, our local lovely peer, is rotting and got damaged two years ago in the storm.
		And they won't fix it.
		They don't have money to fix it.
		They're just letting our little part of the world that was nice, already built, rot away while they're building their little gay empire off somewhere else, grifting money off everyone else.
		That's what really threw me over the edge.
		This Todd Gloria, and he used to live in that area, and he got basically elected by all of these progressive so-called people.
		And it's funny, now he's like...
		Paying them back.
		Here's your money.
		We're going to turn your thing into this new area, this new pedestrian.
		I mean, why do you need a kid's parks?
		I mean, imagine a little kid goes by there.
		It's like, oh, daddy, rainbows.
		It's so sick, man.
		Come on.
		What are you guys doing?
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		No, but hey, look, the left understands political patronage, right?
		They understand, like, these people got me elected, so they get the reward, right?
		The gay people got me elected, they get $20 million for a new gay peer, all their own.
		Republicans, meanwhile, obsessing over a balanced budget, but never actually balancing the budget, instead just handing everything to the Democrats they could ever want.
		Yeah, man, I'm telling you, I think, I mean, should we start taking submissions?
		Do we need a new X account?
		Maybe we'll make a new account.
		For the meantime, if you want to DM me, it's got to be clear.
		You've got to be able to put it in one tweet.
		Just go, here's the city I'm from.
		Here's what they're spending money on.
		Here's the date.
		With a screenshot from the city budget or a news article about what they're spending their money on.
		These bombshell stories, $27 million for a gay coven in Liberia.
		These are major bombshell stories coming out of the federal government.
		I think you could have these types of expenditures discovered in every major city in America.
unidentified		I didn't know it for a fact.
unidentified		And if the people who are submitting that, if you can find a gay one, you get extra credit.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		There you go, yes.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Extra credit.
unidentified		Look at that.
		The crew's already whipped up a freaking logo for it.
		Or illegal aliens.
		Money for illegal aliens.
		Look that up.
		Look up certain words like look up like transient or migrant project.
		Let's just look up.
		Just like a name of your town.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Diversity, inclusion, migrants.
		Because these types of things, even locally they might get attention.
		Locally you might have people going, what the hell is this?
		Why are we spending money on this?
		We need to raise the national awareness of this and just get people in every city in America auditing their own government and trying to find out waste and drawing attention to it.
		Get it to your local news.
		We'll do this.
		We'll have to remember to do this.
		We'll do a segment every day talking about local waste and the local Doge initiative.
		Matt Baker kicking it off, inspiring it once again.
		Follow him on X at slave underscore to underscore liberty, Matt Baker underscore unhinged on Insta, and of course the Bandai video channel, slave to liberty.
		Matt Baker, keep up the incredible work, sir, and I hope people support you.
unidentified		I'm going broke.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Go subscribe to Matt Baker.
		This dude does this voluntarily.
		Nobody's paying him.
unidentified		You should be.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Go pay him.
		Get him to do this more often.
		Make him mayor.
		Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
		I'm just enjoying some of these retro graphics our crew has thrown together.
		I'm telling you, folks, the crew at InfoWars for every show and all the behind-the-scenes stuff.
		It's practically miraculous we've been able to gather so many talented and hardworking people dedicated to this cause.
		And we were actually talking about it the other day in a meeting, and Alex was talking about everything that we're going through with the bankruptcies and everything.
		And it's like, if we were forced to shut down, if they shut down InfoWars, I mean, the worst part of it, in reality, would be losing The crew.
		It'd be losing this force of talent and drive and ambition and just everything that's been built here.
		If you've ever tried to run a business, I mean, personnel problems can destroy you.
		Slowly or quickly, you know, suddenly or over a long and painful decline, it can be really bad.
		And I don't know if I've ever worked anywhere or heard of anybody working anywhere.
		We're the people where there's as little problems as there are here at InfoWars because we all know we're in this together and there's sort of a siege mentality.
		But at the end of the day, it's, like I said, damn near miraculous the amount of talent and skill and drive that we've been able to consolidate here in this one organization.
		I hope you can support us by going to thealexjonesstore.com, thealexjonesstore.com slash Harrison to let them know who sent you.
		But thealexjonesstore.com is the way that we...
		Are going to continue to operate into the future and keep this crew unified and working together.
		Becoming more than the sum of our parts.
		So everything we do and everyone here is brought to you by thealexjonesstore.com.
		Go there today to keep us on the air, in the fight, and a force to be reckoned with.
		Now, with that, I'm going to be welcoming my next guest, Rachel Blevins.
		In just a second, we're going to be talking about Ukraine and other various conflicts around the world.
		I want to go to a couple of videos beforehand.
		Let's go first to clip number seven.
		This is J.D. Vance talking about Zelensky and some of the statements Zelensky's made during the peace negotiations between the U.S. and Russia.
		Here's J.D. Vance being interviewed, I think, by Benny Johnson at CPAC. Let's watch.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		You said yesterday, you made a lot of news, bad-mouthing Trump.
		Not a good idea for Zelensky.
		What's the thought process here?
jd vance ▲ ● ▼		Well, look, I mean, President Zelensky, his country wouldn't exist without the generosity of the United States of America.
		So say thank you.
		And if you disagree with the president, pick up the phone and call him or call one of our great diplomats.
		Don't go on a media tour around Europe bad-mouthing the president of the United States.
		It's insulting.
		It's insulting to him.
		It's insulting to me.
		It's insulting to the American people.
		And by the way, it's stupid.
		All of us who know the president would tell you that bad-mouthing him in public is not the way to get President Trump to change his mind.
		So I think Zelensky needs to have some better consult.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, he needs to be a little bit more humble, I think.
		Here's Marco Rubio expressing largely the same thing.
		Let's watch.
unidentified		I think this is 19. When President Trump posts that President Zelensky is a dictator without elections, what are you thinking?
marco rubio ▲ ● ▼		Very upset at President Zelensky, and in some cases, and rightfully so.
		Look, number one, Joe Biden had frustrations with Zelensky.
		People shouldn't forget it.
		There are newspaper articles out there about how he cursed at him in a phone call because Zelensky, instead of saying, thank you for all your help, is immediately out there messaging what we're not doing or what he's not getting.
		I think the second thing is, frankly, I was personally very upset because we had a conversation with President Zelensky, the vice president and I, the two, three of us.
		And we discussed this issue about the mineral rights.
		And we explained to them, look, we want to be a joint venture with you, not because we're trying to steal from your country, but because we think that's actually a security guarantee.
		If we're your partner in an important economic endeavor, we get to get paid back some of the money the taxpayers have given, close to $200 billion.
		And now we have a vested interest in the security of Ukraine.
		And he said, sure, we want to do this deal.
		It makes all the sense in the world.
		The only thing is, I need to run it through my legislative process.
		They have to approve it.
		I read two days later that Zelensky's out there saying, I rejected the deal.
		I told him no way that we're not doing that.
		Well, that's not what happened in that meeting.
		So you start to get upset by somebody.
		We're trying to help these guys.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		We're trying to help them.
		They're lying and demanding more.
		We'll talk about all of that, including some updates to that mineral deal on the other side.
		Stay with us.
		All right, welcome back.
		Ladies and gentlemen, this is the American Journal.
		I'm your host, Harrison Smith.
		Infowars.com, band.video.
		Please do share these links, including the videos, the clips of these incredible interviews that we're able to get.
		Please clip them out yourself.
		Share them yourself.
		It's all about getting the information out there.
		At the end of the day, this has been the strategy we've pursued and had.
		Oh, you're seeing it now.
		What you're seeing now is the success of this exact strategy, an information war.
		Knowing that information and awareness is key to victory.
		Joining me this hour is Rachel Blevins.
		She is an independent journalist and a former correspondent for RT America in Washington, D.C. You can find her in-depth discussions and analysis on the conflict in Ukraine, as well as the war in Gaza, on X at Rach Blevins, R-A-C-H Blevins, or on Substack at rachelblevins.substack.com.
		Rachel, thank you so much for joining us.
rachel blevins ▲ ● ▼		Thank you so much for having me.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Well, it's my pleasure.
		What is your take on the current stance of the Ukraine war and the peace negotiations?
		What's the latest and how do you think this is playing out geopolitically?
rachel blevins ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, you know, it's been an interesting week, especially when you look back at the fact that just in December, right, just a couple of months ago, we were on the brink of World War III against Russia under the Biden administration.
		You had them refusing to have any dialogue whatsoever with Russia, even though for the last three years, Russia has said they're open and ready to talk.
		And I think they proved that this week.
		When you had the Trump administration come in, you had delegations from each side meet in Saudi Arabia.
		And you had them have discussions about pursuing normalization and pursuing an end to the war in Ukraine.
		So I do think that that is some very positive progress.
		I think this is something that has been needed for a while now.
		Now, I know that a lot of people are very optimistic about it.
		And while I do share some optimism, I think I'm kind of holding off on that just a little bit when it comes to how quickly we are going to get a deal.
		Because right now, it's just setting up these initial...
		You're seeing plans for President Trump and Russian President Putin to come together and to meet face-to-face.
		But when it comes to what it's actually going to take to make a deal between the U.S. and Russia to officially end the war in Ukraine, I don't think we're quite to that point yet, especially given the fact that you've seen so much rhetoric from the Trump administration this week as you were covering just a few minutes ago on Talking about wanting to make a deal with Kiev to get access to their rare earth minerals.
		Because the reality is that the majority of what was Ukraine before 2014, the majority of their natural resources are found in the Donbass region, which is where this war has been carried out over the last three years.
		That's where you have the front lines.
		All in this area where you find the natural resources.
		And so to see this back and forth between Zelensky and Trump administration officials, and you have Trump saying, hey, we've just given you, as he estimates, over $350 billion worth of support.
		You need to give us something in return beyond just all of the Ukrainian men who have given their lives over the last three years in this war.
		They're looking at a possible deal, but you also have Trump in this position where he's got to know, I think his administration knows, that the wealth of natural resources that they are asking for, a lot of it right now is under Russian control.
		And I don't think you're going to see Russia easily give that up.
		So you have the Trump administration in this place right now where they need to make a decision.
		Either they want a deal, they want to end the war in Ukraine, they want to pursue some kind of normalization with Russia, they want to lift the sanctions against Russia, or they want those rare earth minerals, they want those natural resources.
		And it's not just going to be about them fighting Zelensky for that access.
		It's going to become them fighting.
		Russia for that access.
		And I don't think that that's something that the Trump administration necessarily wants to do.
		But I do think it's interesting that you've seen such a focus this week on talking about a deal for the rare earth in Ukraine instead of that focus purely being on look at these talks that were just had.
		How do we move towards normalization?
		And what does that look like for the U.S. and Russia at this point?
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and that's something that I've heard people say where they go, look, everybody's mischaracterizing these talks.
		These talks are not peace talks officially.
		They didn't make a summit to come to peace in Ukraine.
		It was all about normalization of Russian and American relations and reestablishing the embassies.
		But obviously it all centers around Ukraine and the war there.
		So I don't think it's mischaracterizing it as peace talks.
		It's the first step.
		And, you know, the series of talks that will hopefully eventually lead to peace.
		And it's very interesting what you said about the fact that all these minerals are located in the Russian region.
		I guess I didn't realize it was that.
		It was so weighted to the eastern part of that country.
		Because this has apparently been successful.
		And, you know, it's similar with Gaza.
		Trump comes up with these proposals that seemingly come out of nowhere where he says we're taking over Gaza and Ukraine says we're taking all the minerals.
		It's hard to even comment on it because it's like, does he really want that?
		Is this a negotiation technique?
		It seems to be like largely it's negotiation techniques.
		We know how he does it.
		You ask for the world and then you walk back to what you actually want.
		And it seems to be working.
		We have this story from ABC News.
		Ukraine working on new potential deal with the U.S. over mineral resources.
		Zelensky initially pushed back on the deal, giving U.S. billions in minerals.
		But now apparently he's coming to the table.
		So, you know, do you think...
		Do you think they really want the minerals, or do you think this is a negotiation tactic, where Zelensky's going, we're not going to come to the table, and Trump says, all right, we're taking all your minerals, and Zelensky goes, okay, we'll come to the table then, don't worry about it.
		Because that seems, you know, if that's the tactic they're taking, it seems to be working.
		Do you think these are negotiation tactics?
		What do you think is the real desire behind the Trump campaign?
rachel blevins ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's a good question.
		And I'm actually surprised that Zelensky is kind of trying to hardball Trump on this area because initially what he did was he was like, yeah, sure, you can get access to the rare earth minerals.
		Sure, you can have them because he knew that a lot of them were under Russian control.
		So Zelensky initially was kind of playing that game of being like, hey, sure, we'll give you access to what we don't have control over.
		No problem.
		You can fight Russia.
		You know, I do think that part of it is a negotiation tactic on Trump's part.
		I think that you also have Trump in this position where, look, he is clearly over it and tired of Zelensky.
		And we saw a version of this from the Biden administration, right?
		We saw them in this position of going, OK, we're sick of dealing with this comedian actor over in Kiev who is acting like he is the prince that was promised the greatest thing to ever happen to Ukraine.
		You know, he has been, to a certain extent, a great U.S. puppet, right?
		He has done what the establishment wanted him to do in terms of leading the charge in this war.
		But his only problem is his ego, and that is that he thinks that he deserves all of this.
		He thinks that he deserves the NATO alliance getting into World War III against Russia.
		And yet it's those moments where you have Zelensky.
		I know recently he was sitting across from Senator Lindsey Graham and you have Lindsey Graham sitting there saying, you know, not a single American has died in this war.
		And he's bragging about that next to Zelensky, who has had his country lose hundreds of thousands of men in this war.
		And it's like Zelensky still doesn't quite seem to understand the approach that the U.S. has had and that this is their proxy war.
		They're not going to send U.S. boots on the ground.
		The Trump administration, the Biden administration even, knew how detrimental that would be.
		And so I do think that you see Trump in this position of negotiating.
		But I also think the fact that he came out this week and he was referring to Zelensky as a dictator without elections, the fact that he was trying to take all of this blame for the last three years of failure and you pin it all on Zelensky.
		And that's very telling to me that he is ready to be done with this guy.
		And he's looking at this and going, look, this is Biden's war, right?
		We all know that this is the Biden administration's fault, that Russia was in a position in late 2021 where they were practically begging for security guarantees.
		They were like, hey, we want to work with you guys.
		We want you to follow the Minsk agreements.
		means we want the Kiev regime to stop targeting the independent republics in the Donbass region.
		The U.S. under the Biden administration refused to do so.
		But in Trump's position, it's not really useful for him to just blame it all entirely on Biden.
		He looks at this and he goes, OK, well, I can take some of this and I can also put it on Zelensky because he has been at the forefront of continuing this war.
		Zelensky is the one who came out with this so-called victory plan in the fall and was parading it around to the US and Europe.
		And what we know of it was essentially that this plan was to drag the NATO alliance into World War III against Russia.
		And if you're Trump and you're coming into office, you're looking around, you're going, this doesn't benefit us at all.
		This leads to the destruction of the world as we know it.
		Let's not do that.
		But I do think it's going to be interesting.
		What does come after Zelensky?
		Because this is a guy who, to call him a dictator, is a very accurate description.
		He has banned all of his major opposition in Kiev.
		He's nationalized the media.
		Anyone who speaks out against him is targeted, and he claims that he is going after them and that he's fighting corruption in the country.
		So because of that, if we were to have elections in Ukraine tomorrow, there is no possible way to have a free and fair election there unless you- Yeah, and of course,
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		before the war- You know, before the media got their marching orders that you're supposed to treat Zelensky like a, you know, Winston Churchill reborn, there was article after article about how Ukraine was the most corrupt country in Europe, how the whole system was racked with corruption, you know, from the left and the right, from the east and the west, right?
		They were not shy about talking about just how corrupt Ukraine was until the war started when all of a sudden that was, you know, they're totally unquestionable.
		You're right.
		I don't know what comes after Zelensky and I don't know what, you know, Zelensky's role in this is.
		Of, you know, his motivation is purely personal, where he's just like, you know, he might be brought up on charges, you know, war crime charges.
		He might be, you know, put to a, I mean, he's sort of losing this war and he knows what happens to people when they lose wars.
		You know, you get the Nuremberg trials in certain extreme cases.
		So I wonder how much he is just, you know, trying to save, you know, personally save his skin and prevent, you know, whatever deal from, from sacrificing what.
		Zelensky himself has been able to build for himself.
		I also wonder about the natural resources because throughout the war in Ukraine, there's been a lot of talk about what would happen after Ukraine and all of these big American corporations lining up and signing deals to rebuild the country that...
		They helped destroy through the war.
		Infowars had this story from all the way back in October of 2022, talking about Goldman Sachs executives planning with Zelensky for a recovery fund project where he'll be seeking to raise an estimated $350 billion through the World Bank and EU. Of course, that was several years ago.
		But already throughout this entire conflict, Goldman Sachs and BlackRock, they've been making contracts for the eventual rebuilding.
		And I wonder if some of those don't include mineral rights.
		And maybe Trump is not as much going up against Ukraine for their possession of the mineral rights, but rather against this international banking system that already has dibs on the wealth to be gained once the war is over and rebuilding begins.
		How much do you think that plays into the mineral rights discussion or the discussion about the settlement of Ukraine?
		Is all these corporate interests sort of lining up at the gate ready to go in and grab all the government contracts for rebuilding?
		How do you think that plays into these talks?
rachel blevins ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, you know, that's a really interesting point.
		And it was actually surprising to me that Zelensky came out this week and declared that Ukraine is not for sale.
		Because I'm going, that's the first I've heard of that, right?
		And that's probably the first that BlackRock and Goldman Sachs have heard of that.
		Because every time you get Zelensky on some little visit to the U.S., that's exactly where he's going.
		He's going to Wall Street.
		He's meeting with these firms.
		He's talking to people there.
		And he's saying, hey, you can do what you want in Ukraine, right?
		Whatever to him.
		Keep this war going and keep him in power.
		He's like, yeah, sure.
		It doesn't matter to him.
		And I do wonder sometimes for someone like Zelensky, how much of it can be compared to someone like Joe Biden, where he's in office and he's looking around and going, there is nothing for me after this, right?
		Life does not get better.
		This is as great as it gets.
		Zelensky is likely in that position.
		I'm really curious to see, though, with Trump, because as you were noting earlier, you know, he's this kind of guy where he'll throw out these things.
		He'll say, I'm gonna buy the Gaza Strip, or we're gonna do this and that.
		And he throws out these just...
		Insane offers, claims, I guess you could call them.
		And so I'm looking at Ukraine and going, okay, if you want access to these mineral resources, you know, or comparing it to even in Syria, where he's like, yeah, we're going to go in and take the oil.
		It makes me wonder how much he really means of that, how much he's just saying that.
		Because if we're going to talk about, you know, America first, focusing on this country, focusing on what's wrong here, there's a lot that we can talk about here, right?
		If we're going to talk about energy production, there's...
		There's plenty to talk about here.
		We don't necessarily need Ukraine.
		And I think that the further they get into talks, Trump may see a little bit more when it comes to what Russia is saying on their end, that, look, this is not going to happen.
		The way that Russia looks at this, they've said, look, specifically in the Donbass region, they have four regions there, Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, and Zaporozhye, where they all voted in a referendum in the fall of 2022 to join Russia.
		And I know that the Western media loves to get all upset about that and claim that they weren't free and fair elections.
		But the fact is that the people there voted to join Russia.
		And that's something that Russia is not going to give up lightly.
		So if you're looking at future negotiations between the U.S. and Russia, you've got Russia in this position of saying, hey, you say that you...
		Respect, freedom, and democracy.
		We need to see evidence of that specifically in this territory, in the Donbass, where these people have said that they want to join Russia.
		We need to see that respected by the United States and a whole host of other things.
		I know that Russia has already put their demands out there, and they seem to be really sticking to it so far while they're saying that they're open to talks.
		They're also being hardliners when it comes to a possible deal.
		So that's kind of what I'm watching for is, How far are these negotiations going to go?
		And does there come a point where Trump gets a little bit frustrated because he's the guy that wants to make a deal, right?
		He has had these negotiations with Russia.
		Does there come a point where there's kind of a sticking point between the two of them where they don't come to a deal and they, you know, we get into...
		Some kind of freeze between the two.
		But beyond that, there's also the question of what this means for the ongoing war in Ukraine, because Russia is still marching on.
		They're making significant advances in the Donbass region right now.
		And even though they're having talks, it's not as if Russia is stepping back and going, OK, we have talks.
		Let's forget about the war.
		No, they're still pressing on on the front lines.
		And that's something that I think the Trump administration definitely needs to pay attention to right now.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I was just going to try to grab the tweaks.
		I did just see that this morning.
		I think they captured three more towns this morning.
		So they might actually be upping their aggressiveness ahead of these talks, which would obviously be a negotiation tactic, sort of saying, look, we can keep going if you want, but if you want to talk, we're open to that too.
		And obviously, regardless of how the talks go, it's better that we're talking now than the situation under Biden where there was literally no communication.
		They never talked to each other.
		Can you stay with us into the next segment and close out the hour with us, Rachel?
rachel blevins ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, sure.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Okay, if you're available, I want to know whether we have the five minutes of this or whether we can sort of take our time with all this stuff because, you know, there's so many other things that...
		That go into this one topic.
		Again, my guest is Rachel Blevins.
		You can follow her on X at Rach Blevins, R-A-C-H Blevins, rachelblevins.substack.com, where you do a ton of great content, video content, interviews, and stuff.
		I encourage people to follow you, and obviously you're extremely up-to-date on all this.
		I want to talk about how Europe is dealing with this, but just looking at the big picture, as you pointed out, World War III was on the table.
		And it seemed like the Biden administration was doing everything they could to instigate real full-fledged conflict between Russia and NATO, get World War III going before he left office, activating the hyper-advanced missiles, giving permission to strike targets deep inside Russia.
		I mean, they really tried to kick the hornet's nest.
		What do you think they're going to do now?
		I mean, World War III is like...
		Key to their plans.
		They have been desirous of this and all their other plans from shutting down the food production to just censorship.
		Everything becomes so much easier if war is declared and they get this imperative of military action.
		They go, now you're not just spreading misinformation.
		You're a national security threat.
		They really want World War III, I guess is what I'm saying.
		What do you think they do now?
		Do they give up on that?
		Do they do a false flag?
		They have to be...
		Desperately scrambling to retain how far they've gotten, how close they've gotten to World War III. They can't be giving that up easy.
		What do you think the rest of Europe and the powers that be do at this point?
rachel blevins ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I think exactly as you laid it out there, that's one of my major concerns right now, right?
		You have this situation of desperation, not only for Zelensky, but for these leaders across Europe.
		I mean, we saw it this week where you had the U.S. and Russia engaging in talks, and then you've got these leaders in France and Germany and the U.K. looking around and going, wait a second, we're being left out here?
		No, no, no, we're supposed to be a part of this, right?
		NATO is more unified than ever.
		This is not okay.
		And so you have all these leaders.
		Get together in Paris.
		They have their own roundtable meeting.
		And the outcome of that is not unity.
		The outcome of that are these reports that they could not get together on even a unified statement.
		You've got Keir Starmer of the UK sitting there wanting to send boots on the ground to Ukraine as if the mighty British army is going to be the one to get to Kiev and then Russia is going to look at them and go, wait a second.
		We've got to stop the war right now, right?
		That's it for us.
		And then you have other leaders in Europe who are a little bit more...
		Logical, I would say, right?
		They look at the situation on the ground and they go, we don't want to be a part of this.
		We know that obviously we are in the same continent as Ukraine, and if the war spills over, we're next, not the United States.
		And so I do think you're seeing a level of desperation.
		And yeah, a false flag attack is my biggest concern right now, not only for those European leaders, but...
		Also, for the fact that we have to remember, when Russia set out nearly three years ago and they declared what they called a special military operation, one of the main parts of that was that they said that they wanted to.
		De-Nazify Ukraine because they knew that as they had been dealing with for the last several years, you have this element in Western Ukraine of these far-right, banderite, fascist neo-Nazis who want nothing more than to kill Russians.
		And that's what they've done for decades now.
		And so Russia looked at this conflict and they go, okay, we have all of these violent extremists that for the last, at the time, eight years had only been propped up and amplified and funded by The United States, even though Congress wanted to kind of debate as to whether that was legal or not.
		But they knew that that was a serious problem.
		And that problem hasn't gone away.
		Yeah, a lot of those people have been killed.
		You've had, you know, the fact that you have these different legions that have been incorporated into the Ukrainian military over the years.
		So there are less of them, but they are still a major problem.
		And the last thing that they want is peace with Russia.
		And so that's kind of one of the...
		I don't see that happening, right?
		Trump and his top officials that they are on the right track when it comes to progress with Russia.
		But like I was saying earlier, if you get to a point in talks where things aren't quite matching up, then there's also the question of could we see a possible attack?
		Could we then see friction in that newly built relationship?
		But one thing that I think is important to keep in mind is the fact that, you know, the Trump administration comes in, they look at the situation in Ukraine and they go, okay, Is it possible for us to win here?
		Is there a military victory against Russia?
		And the answer is no.
		The next step is NATO gets into the war.
		We have World War III. Everything blows up.
		But if we keep going at the rate that we're going, where the US and these countries across Europe are just keeping Kiev on life support, there is not going to be any kind of victory for the West there.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Exactly.
		We have to be asking what the goal is.
		I'm sorry, we have to take it.
		Quick commercial break.
		We'll be right back with Rachel Blevins.
		Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
		This is the American Journal.
		I'm your host, Harrison Smith.
		Infowars.com, band.video.
		My guest is Rachel Blevins at RachBlevins on X, substack at RachelBlevins.substack.com.
		Again, we're talking Ukraine, World War III, just geopolitics in general.
		This is the latest from ABC News.
		Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's team is working on an updated agreement between Ukraine and the United States for Ukraine to agree to give the U.S. revenue from some of Ukraine's most valuable resources.
		As a Ukrainian official told ABC News, a U.S. official with knowledge of the negotiation says a new version of the deal between the two countries has been put on the table.
		So it appears as though Trump's unconventional negotiation tactic is again bearing fruit.
		And we've seen the same thing with Gaza as well.
		He makes these seemingly insane suggestions, but they have the desired outcome.
		Hey, if the Arab neighbors of Gaza don't like Trump's deal, they better come up with something else.
		And again, this seems to be working.
		I'm wondering what effect this is having on Europe.
		They seem to be struggling right now to even make the argument that this shouldn't be happening.
		We've pretty much gone full Orwell and war is peace.
		They're basically saying Trump's the bad guy for wanting peace.
		They're sort of struggling.
		They're scrambling.
		They can't really come up with the arguments as to why this should keep going.
		I know we've talked about false flags.
		France is upped their GDP spending.
		They've agreed to go from 3% to 5% GDP spending.
		So Trump is having this success across the board.
		I mean, how do you think the European, the EU or the European nations, how do they react to this?
		And where do you think they go?
		I would have to think places like Germany would be ready for the war to end.
		This entire industrial base is shattered at this point.
		They're making no money.
		They're practically bankrupt.
		They can't afford the energy they need from Russia.
		I mean, how are they not begging for peace?
		What do you think Europe's position on all of this is?
rachel blevins ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's been fascinating to see the way that Europe has kind of reacted because they knew this was coming, right?
		Donald Trump spent months on the campaign trail saying, I will end the war in Ukraine.
		And we saw months of reports that NATO was working to Trump-proof Ukraine, right?
		That they were trying to make sure that Trump wasn't going to be able to come in and, I guess, end the war.
		But I think that you have these European leaders really scrambling because if we look back over the last year.
		And we look at the elections that have happened.
		You've seen this rightward shift.
		Part of that is because of the immigration policies of many of these European leaders.
		They want to have open borders.
		They want to bring everybody in.
		And the people that live in their countries are looking around going, OK, this is not improving my society.
		This is not helpful for the people that actually are citizens here.
		Another big part of that is that you have a lot of these more conservative parties that are...
		And so seeing some of these European leaders, seeing Emmanuel Macron, Olaf Scholz, and we'll throw Keir Starmer in there from the UK, looking around and going, wait a second, this is not shifting in my direction.
		I am not winning the public's trust here, and rightfully so, because for the last over three years, we've heard all of these European leaders say things like, oh, you know, you've got to just...
		Buckle down and pay higher energy prices to stick it to Putin, right?
		You have to take cold showers.
		You have to deal with your streetlights being out at 7 p.m.
		at night in order to really show Russia that we are taking them on, that we don't need their cheap energy resources.
		And it's like, for the average person, when you're paying sky-high energy bills, you're struggling to keep a roof over your head.
		You don't care about what happens in Ukraine or in Russia.
		You care about yourself and your family.
		You're good to go.
		Ability to continue to live, and rightfully so.
		So I think what you have right now, you have a lot of these officials who really need to wake up to reality.
		They should have done it by now.
		But they're sitting around the table acting like, oh, if the U.S. pulls support, well, we're just going to come in and we're going to pick up the slack.
		And I'm sitting here going, how in the world are you going to do that?
		Because there's nothing you're going to do that is going to be able to keep up with Russia and the momentum that we're currently seeing from Russia.
		And I think it's going to be really interesting to see if the U.S. does.
		And I'm not exactly holding my breath for that.
		But if the U.S. does lift sanctions on Russia, that is going to provide even more help to the Russian economy.
		Right.
		Because now we're going to get a lot of trade back.
		You're going to get more tourism in Russia and on and on and on.
		Keep being worse for Europe because you have all these businesses in Europe that are looking around going, OK, when is our turn?
		When do we get to work with Russia again?
		And I think that for all of these politicians, the more that they resist the progress that is being made, the worse it is going to be for them.
		The quicker you are going to see them booted out of office in favor of someone else who is going to be ready to lead the charge and to say, okay, let's go in a direction that is actually helpful for us.
		Unfortunately, you see Europe in this place, and I think we saw it really come to a head in the fall of 2022 when you had the attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines, because Germany especially, they were supposed to be the powerhouse of Europe, and they just sat by.
		They were like, nah, we don't care.
		Our infrastructure that we just spent years and billions of dollars contributing to, oh, that was destroyed.
		It doesn't matter who did it.
		Let's all look the other direction.
		Of course, had later reports that Germany was even in on that destruction.
		So it's going to be really fascinating to see what Europe ends up doing.
		But I think that for the European public, if they look at the U.S. and Russia talking and making any kind of progress, they're going to be going, why are we still doing this?
		For the states that still had mask mandates and all kinds of draconian measures during COVID, they're looking around at the other states that are free and they're like...
		Why are we still doing this when we're the ones being harmed by these restrictions?
		I could see a similar thing happening in Europe, although not overnight, but I think that we'll get there eventually.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Well, it only makes sense.
		If I was a European leader, you know Donald Trump wants peace.
		I'd have a time limit.
		I bet Trump is going, I want to be able to give my first State of the Union address having achieved peace in Ukraine.
		I bet he's got some sort of deadline where it's like, If we can't make a deal by this point, I'm just pulling out.
		It's just going to be—Russia's going to get everything they want.
		You know that he wants peace and that he's going to get it.
		Why would you not want to be in those talks and go, no, we also want to help you get peace, and then maybe we can get some of what we want.
		Maybe we can make a deal here.
		I think just by being obstructionists, they're just going to cut themselves out of the negotiations.
		At the end of the day, Trump is just going to pull the rug and go, you know, whatever.
		You guys didn't want to help.
		Screw it.
		War's over.
		Good luck.
		Good luck against Russia.
		Maybe up your GDP on defense spending.
		So it just makes no sense for them to be obstructionist when the only way they could possibly benefit from this or have a positive outcome from their perspective is by cooperating and participating and maybe getting something at the end.
		I guess their attempts to Trump-proof Ukraine haven't been so successful.
		I'm glad you brought that up because I'd sort of forgotten about that.
		That was a big topic that we talked about before Trump was elected, was the way that they were putting in place 25-year, 20-year agreements to fund Ukraine, presumably forever.
		Before you go, because I know you have another engagement you have to get to, and we can't have you for the rest of the hour, but just moving away from Ukraine and to Gaza, because I want to talk about Gaza.
		I know you've been talking about it quite a bit.
		What do you think is happening there?
		What do you think happens there?
		I mean, obviously Trump threw this hand grenade into everything with this utterly unprecedented suggestion that America take it over.
		That's spurred some of the Arab neighbors to promise to help rebuild.
		What do you think happens with Gaza?
		Where is that right now?
		A lot of the attention has been drawn away to Ukraine.
		What's going on in Gaza?
rachel blevins ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, you know, it's been interesting to watch as right now we are still in this current ceasefire deal that Trump, of course, helped negotiate before he was even in office.
		We had the framework for the deal back in May of last year, and yet the Biden administration put no pressure on it whatsoever.
		And then you had Trump before he was even inaugurated going, OK, let's finish the ceasefire and hostage release deal.
		And so that is still ongoing.
		Part of the problem with that is that you have this.
		Far right in Israel that does not want to see us get to phase three of this deal, which would essentially lead to the end of the war and kind of a settlement agreement.
		And they don't want that to happen.
		So right now Netanyahu is in this place of kind of...
		Juggling things.
		I saw the latest report that he was adding some more demands to the list.
		Right now he's saying that, oh, Hamas officials have to get out of Gaza, that it has to be demilitarized.
		And when it comes to where the Trump administration stands here, this is one place that I'm a little bit concerned about.
		Because before we saw those talks in Saudi Arabia, you add Secretary of State Marco Rubio, he was over in Israel.
		He was meeting with Netanyahu.
		And during those talks, They had their eyes not on Gaza, but on Iran.
		And they were talking about, you know, you had Netanyahu saying we're going to, with the help of the Trump administration, we're going to, quote unquote, finish the job against Iran.
		And I'm very concerned about what that actually looks like.
		Does that look like a full-on war with Iran?
		Or does that look like...
		Increased U.S. support for Israel and its ongoing war on Hamas, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Ansar Allah in Yemen, and kind of on and on all of these allies of Iran.
		But when it comes to where Gaza stands right now, one of the major things that we saw under this current deal was the fact that you had hundreds of thousands of Palestinians returning to the northern half of Gaza.
		And that was not just a big deal as far as the war goes.
		That was incredibly symbolic for them.
		The Palestinian people.
		And when you have Trump in this place of saying, oh, you know, we're just going to build these nice fancy houses and I guess some neighboring country, and it's going to be so great that the Palestinians want to go there.
		Well, I don't think he realizes that the Palestinian people, the vast majority of them, are not going to leave their land.
		They have fought for their land for over 16 months now.
		That is not going to change.
		And I'm with you.
		I think that this is kind of part of a bargain to try to get Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Jordan, all of these countries in the region to get on board and to kind of have their own variation of a deal.
		And I think that it's possible that we're going to see more progress there.
		The only problem with that is that that's not what Israel wants.
		Israel wants to have total control of the Gaza Strip.
		They don't want the U.S. to come and control it.
		They want control.
		And that's what I'm going to be keeping an eye on to see.
		Even as Trump makes progress, you've got regional countries saying, hey, we'll contribute this money.
		We'll help with this reconstruction.
		If Israel's not happy with that, then what happens?
		And of course, how does Trump respond to that?
		Because I think that that is going to end up being a very important defining question of even his second term in office.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		100%.
		Well, I know you have to go.
		I would love to talk to you again.
		This has been very, very enlightening.
		But I completely agree about Gaza, and I'm watching with trepidation.
		But clearly what comes across to me is you look at everything Trump and his administration is doing geopolitically.
		Is they are the force for peace against entrenched interests that are desperate to keep these wars going and expanding and getting even worse.
		So obviously whatever Trump's doing I think is informed by the sincere desire for peace and to stop seeing the useless bloodshed go on in these battlefields that America has helped to spark and then fan the flames of.
		So we'll keep watching and praying and hoping that Trump has success in this mission to...
		To have an actual Pax Americana that can exist and continue to last.

		This story I have to cover and it sort of ties into everything else that we've talked about.
		And that is this revelation from Mario Naufal.
		Patriot files leak the left's plan to cancel EU conservatives and destroy democracy.
		New documents expose a secret EU plot to fracture and destroy the rising right-wing movements in Europe, specifically targeting at Patriot's EP, the fastest-growing conservative party in the EU, led by Orban, Le Pen, and Vox, the populist party out of Spain.
		With mega movements, Make Europe Great Again movement surging.
		And a global shift fueled by Trump's second term and Elon Musk's fight for free speech.
		The elites are panicking.
		They know their days of unchecked power are numbered.
		And we actually have these leaked videos marked confidential.
		Do not copy, distribute, or misplace.
		If disposing of, please shred or destroy first.
		Well, they're not going anywhere now, and we have them.
		Proposed strategy towards the extreme right.
		The ninth parliamentary term saw decisions and legislation in the parliament largely agreed on the basis of so-called Vanderlei and majority of EPP.
		Without getting into the intricate and troubling parliamentary details, the fact is that you've got a rising right wing in Europe for a number of different reasons.
		Most of which, I mean, you can basically sum it all up in that Europe is being actively and deliberately destroyed by its power structure.
		And the young people of Europe are awake to this, aware of what's going on and working politically to combat the deconstruction of their homelands.
		And the people that are doing the deconstruction are not happy about this and they're failing to put a lid on the rising tide of the right wing.
		They're increasing their censorship, they're increasing their repression and oppression of dissident views in Europe, but it's just not enough.
		So now you've got...
		These various parties aligned against the right wing because at the end of the day, that really is the breakdown.
		Same way as it is here in America, left and right is not exactly accurate or Democrat-Republican is not the only division.
		In reality, you have the system and the people outside the system.
		It's pretty much as simple as that.
		You've got the establishment and you have the people.
		And that is the dichotomy at play in Europe today.
		And so all these people that might claim to be vicious, bitter enemies, we've got these far-left socialists who will parade around with effigies of Macron because they're so against his liberal centrism.
		But in reality, they're all happy to coordinate and combine forces to stop the rise of a legitimately right-wing political party in Europe.
		And it's happening all over Europe, all at the same time.
		And they're all desperately combining forces to try to stop this inevitable pushback to their deconstructionist policies.
		They say, you know, in light of this new situation, the situation of the right-wing growing, our group, and they capitalize group, just to let you know, it is a genuine conspiracy.
		Our group, you might as well say Spectre, must define a clear strategy accompanied by a set of principles and concrete guidance for internal actors to reverse the current rightward trajectory and keep the Parliament true to our shared European values of, you know, sacrificing our own people for infinite Middle Easterners, which can only be realistically achieved by building and consolidating a pro-European majority involving the EP, Renew, and Greens.
		EPP, Renew, and Greens.
		So again, you've got the far left, And the center-left and the center-right all cooperating together to stop nationalism from actually taking root again in Europe and reversing some of the, again, deliberately deconstructionist and suicidal programs, whether it's the Green New Deal or the immigration programs or the war in Ukraine or the COVID rules.
		I mean, everything that this cabal does is hugely damaging, directly damaging.
		To the well-being and circumstances of the European people.
		So that can only be maintained by severe oppression and repression of the natives of these countries.
		Strategies and principles are outlined here.
		As a fundamental matter of principle, the group should not engage with extreme right political groups or support their proposals.
		Consequently, efforts should always be focused on building a strong and stable pro-European democratic majority for all positions, decisions taken in the House to counteract the extreme right influence.
		To facilitate this task and build on a platform cooperation statement agreed by the EPP, S&D, and Renew Europe in November 2024, it could be considered to work on So again,
		this is a secret memo sent out to everybody except for the, quote, far right in Europe that are the right-wing people that are just like, let's not kill ourselves.
		I mean, literally, that makes you far right in these countries.
		A simple, basic disagreement with national suicide.
		And their method is basically saying we're just cutting the right wing out of everything.
		We're just giving them nothing.
		We're never going to entertain their ideas.
		We're never going to go to them to solve our differences.
		If there's differences between the center left and the leftist, we need to work that out internally and just full-fledged blacklisting of any so-called extremist right wing, i.e.
		You know, 90s Democrat position.
		He says, this memo goes on, where a European majority is not achievable, then the group, the group at all levels, the squid at all levels, should be prepared to work with those groups who are willing to exclude the extreme right and take clear positions in line with the guidance below, attempting to frustrate extreme right initiatives and exposing and condemning their content.
		So again, what they're saying is, because there's not...
		There's almost not an extreme right in Europe.
		The basic, very normal nationalistic and right-wing is considered the extreme right because their natural disposition is extreme left.
		And the extreme leftists in their countries are actually the big problem.
		There's not really a threat from the far right in Europe.
		The threat from the far right in Europe is that they're actually achieving some electoral victories.
		That's what they see as a crisis that they're issuing this memo to confront.
		The left wing, on the other hand, are the people that are like burning down Tesla factories and deliberately shutting off their energy production, collapsing their entire countries.
		And what they're saying here is even though it might seem distasteful for center left or center politically Europeans to want to...
		You know, cooperate with these avowed communists, that's preferable to giving any credence to the far right.
		So that's the agreement that's being laid out here, is they're saying we're going to bury our differences with the extreme, far, socialistic, anti-humanity, anti-Christ communists.
	We're going to work with them and deal with them, because no matter how bad they are, it's better than giving even a semblance of credence to the extreme right, as they call it.
	So basically they're saying...
	We're going to empower the communists rather than give the right wing even a seat at the table.
	Based on multiple internal discussions, they say, including among coordinators and in the Bureau, it's proposed that the group define strategy towards different actors within Parliament as follows.
	Firstly, there should be no cooperation with the extreme right.
	So again, they just keep reiterating this.
	No cooperation, no cooperation, non-engagement, implementation of a cordon sanitaire.
	So just total...
	Just hardline separation.
	When other groups are willing, also, it must be recognized that the extreme right is no longer a theoretical threat, but rather has become an immediate and clear menace which cannot be ignored.
	A more assertive strategy should be considered in which some of their more extreme ideas and positions, like how men are men and women are women, these types of positions that are considered extreme, actively exposed and ridiculed to be contrasted with our own solutions and concrete policy work.
	At the same time, we should identify and leverage all those issues that can drive a wedge between the extreme right and the EPP. Second, the strategy towards the ECR. It's complicated by the lack of homogeneity, including as it does both mainstream elements and extreme right anti-European.
	Pro-Russian elements.
	We're seeing this as a price for including the Greens in negotiation.
	EPP is often insisting including the ECR for balance.
	Our members and staff request clarity in our stance towards ECR. Yet a one-size-fits-all approach is particularly difficult to agree and implement across all committees.
	Thirdly, our approach to EPP must be carefully calibrated.
	The internal battle within the EPP and traditional center-right over whether to align more with the extreme right or maintain pro-European coalition slash majority is delicately poised.
	Strategy should be to keep the EPP on a more mainstream pro-European track.
	On the one hand, the group must be prepared to call out and expose the EPP whenever it aligns with the extreme right, as the EPP must know there are consequences to looking both ways.
	On the other hand, we must be wary that our overly aggressive approach could alienate those more mainstream voices.
	Proposing a series of working practices and modalities of coordination, as mentioned above, to tie the EPP to pro-European majority should be pursued.
	Do you understand what I just said?
	This is, it might seem boring, it might seem like, you know, little intricate details, but like this is the psychological operation that they are now unleashing on Europe.
	And you can hear how, as they put it, it's very delicately balanced, very delicately maintained, this calibration where they have these parties that are center-right.
	And they're like, we don't want them to go over to the far right, so we have to ridicule them when they go over to the far right.
	But if we're too aggressive, that will push them more towards the far right.
	They're taking all of this into account.
	And again, you know, it's not just like, here's what we believe and that's what we're going to push for.
	It's like, how do we manipulate the right wing into seeing the left wing as pro-European and the right wing as extreme?
	That's their method of division taking place right now.
	And so the takeaway from this for the Europeans should be...
	That the right wing is being targeted for subversion and for manipulation and coercion to try to use psychological manipulation, ridicule, condemnation, and a unified left and center left media attack to drive the center right away from the far right and towards the left.
	It's a trick.
	So the European right wing needs to know these criticisms of you're too far right, they have to be ignored.
	They are a psychological strategy of divide and conquer by your enemies.
