Never shy away from our progressive values.
alex jones
One person's socialism is another person's neighborliness.
Well, the Democrat Party continues to commit political suicide.
They continue to drive off the edge of a cliff.
They continue to not course correct, but only get more extreme and make up bigger and bigger lies.
Why?
The former head of the Social Security Administration, big Democrat operative today, came out and said within 30 to 90 days, Social Security will crash because Elon Musk is destroying all the computers.
Just made up.
But trying to create hysteria and fear, probably before they launch a false flag on the computer systems and crash it and blame Musk.
I mean, that's definitely where this is going.
But to also show how they refused to course correct, we have Kamala Harris saying she's probably going to run for governor of California.
The state she helped run on the ground as Attorney General and Tampon Tim Walsh is back, ladies and gentlemen.
He says yes, he thinks he'd be a great contender for 2028. Well, I hope and pray that he runs against J.D. Vance or Tulsi Gabbards or whoever is the nominee then because there is no doubt this guy is super creepy and people absolutely cannot stand him.
And he's a communist Chinese agent on record.
And as all this other incredible corruption, he will be so easy to beat.
But you'd think that they wouldn't already understand that.
But instead, their main goal is chopping your son's genitals off and putting tampons in the bathroom for boys and cutting your daughter's breast off and uterus out.
So this is truly a psychotic pedo death cult.
And again, I'm not saying Tim Walz is a pedo.
No, no, no.
I'm just saying if I was going to cast somebody...
To play the part of like an evil guy that drives around in an ice cream truck, kidnapping kids, do medical experiments on them, I would cast him right now as Hollywood director to play, you know, the psychotic dungeon keeper with a bunch of locked up kids.
So, you've got The View up there, I saw him today chanting, show your support, chant Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, and oh, Trump's a Russian agent and all this crap.
No, Trump is an agent of prosperity and freedom and Russia is not our enemy.
The globalists use Russia as the pretext to keep the real tyranny of NATO and the incredibly corrupt totalitarian EU that's canceling elections, arresting presidential leaders, kind of like we saw happen here in the last four years that woke folks up in America.
This is a global awakening.
And I'm just proud that America, that has become one of the main centers of globalism, is where the people have begun to get back control, to turn this around, not just here.
But across the world.
For myself, the entire InfoWars crew, I salute you and I thank you.
Now remember, you're the Paul Revere's.
Take this report and share it with everyone you know.

I stand with Planned Parenthood, and we won!
alex jones
The globalist anti-human revolution is now burning down and collapsing in front of us.
Our counter-revolution against them has been an incredible success.
But now, we have to continue the greatest revolution in modern history, the Renaissance, into the future.
And that's why InfoWars is more important than ever.
Ladies and gentlemen, we could not have done any of this without you.
And bad guys and good guys recognize that we would not see this populist revolution succeeding in America and around the world without InfoWars.
And that means without you.

It's Tuesday, March 4th in the year of our Lord, 2025.
And you're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith.
Watch it live right now at band.video.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
harrison smith
Welcome to The American Journal.
I'm your host, Harrison Smith.
We've got a lot of stuff to talk about today, of course.
The rush towards World War III is still very much on the top of the list, although later today, Trump will be delivering his State of the Union address, if I understand that correctly.
So a lot of people looking forward to that will maybe speculate on what he'll be talking about.
After all, he's been dropping quite a few hints about that.
We'll take your calls today as well.
I'll also ask the question, what's going on with RFK Jr.?
What's happening, buddy?
We're a little concerned about RFK. He gets into office on the mandate of fixing America's health crisis.
It's been about two weeks.
Now he's telling people to get the MMR vaccine and to stop being anti-Semitic.
We're all like, well, what are you talking about?
What the hell are you talking about, sir?
It's a little confusing.
It's a little bizarre.
We'll talk about that as well.
I want to take your calls throughout the show today also.
And we've got a lot of videos to go to, so let's begin today as we do every day with our daily dispatch.
All right, here it is, folks, your daily dispatch for Tuesday, the 4th of March, 2025.
Trump's pause on military aid alarms Ukrainians, but Kiev digs in on peace terms.
Ukrainians expressed alarm and apprehension Tuesday at a U.S. decision to pause military aid.
That's critical to their fighting Russia's invasion as a rift deepens between Kiev and Washington.
Days after an explosive meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the assistance halted in a bid to pressure Kiev to engage in peace talks with Russia.
Officials in Kiev said they were grateful for vital U.S. help in the war and wanted to keep working with Washington.
The country's prime minister, though, said Ukraine still wants security guarantees to be part of any peace deal and won't recognize Russian occupation of any Ukrainian land.
I don't think they're getting the message quite yet.
Again, we will touch on that in just a little bit.
Meanwhile, major U.S. retailers warn Americans will pay more because of Trump's trade war with top partners, report says.
Americans to pay more after Trump launches trade war with top partners, major retailers warn.
The CEOs of two large retailers in the United States say shoppers are likely to see prices rise as a result of the tariffs Donald Trump placed on Canada and Mexico and his hike in levies on China.
The warnings from CEOs of Best Buy and Target, reported by CNBC, contradict the president's assertion that the cost to his trade war will not be borne by U.S. consumers, who rebelled against his predecessor Joe Biden after the U.S. economy was hit by the worst bout of inflation in decades.
Quote, those are categories we'll try to protect pricing, but the consumer will likely see price increases over the next couple days.
Target CEO Brian Cornell told the network in an interview, if there's a 25% tariff, those prices will go up.
And on an earnings call, Best Price CEO Corey Berry said China and Mexico were his firm's two biggest suppliers and price hikes were inevitable.
So, again, this is necessary pain to fix a much...
Broader and more systemic issue of the fact that we don't make anything here anymore.
And that's a problem.
So maybe if your goods weren't, you know, had their costs lowered by slave labor in China, then we wouldn't be in this situation.
But here we are.
Turns out paying a little bit more for goods is worth...
Not sacrificing your country on the altar of globalism.
So we'll get back into that.
Meanwhile, EU chief proposes plan to urgently increase defense spending by mobilizing around $840 billion.
New plans for the European Union to increase defense spending could potentially mobilize as much as €800 billion, $841 billion.
European Commissioner President Ursula von der Leyen said Tuesday.
Europe is ready to massively boost its defense spending, she said in a statement.
The plan will include 150 billion euros of loans that member states can access to invest in what Vanderland described as pan-European capability domains.
New plans from the European Union to increase this defense spending comes, of course, as America decides we don't want to provide infinite funding for their defense anymore.
Again, this is pretty much exactly the same thing that happened.
Under Trump's first administration, where Trump says, you're not paying enough into our mutual defense partnerships.
They say, how dare you?
This is crazy.
He's going to start World War III. Then he says, you just have to increase your spending.
And then they increase their spending.
And then it's fine.
So we could just not go through the whole rigmarole of them acting like it's outrageous what he's asking and just do the bare minimum that they're...
Contractually obligated to do in the first place.
But they're a bunch of bitches, so they have to bitch.
Meanwhile, New York FBI field office head forced out days after his office was revealed to have been hiding thousands of Epstein documents.
There's been a significant shakeup within the FBI as one of its top officials has been forced out.
NBC News reported Monday that James Dennehy, the head of FBI's New York office, Threw in the towel just days after his office was revealed to have been hiding thousands of Epstein documents.
In fact, we have a statement from Alex Jones on that that we'll go to as soon as we're done with the Daily Dispatch here.
Why is he not being arrested is my question.
Why is he not being arrested and questioned?
That's the appropriate response to this.
Again, we'll touch back on this in just a second.
Late Friday, I was informed I needed to put my retirement papers in today, which I just did.
And he wrote in an email obtained by NBC, I was not given a reason for this decision.
The reason, of course, is because he was head of the office that seemingly exists solely to hide information and deceive the American people.
So again, this guy should be arrested.
Where are the charges for sedition?
Where are the charges for treason?
Where are the charges for...
You know, conspiracy against rights.
This guy is a deep state actor that should be arrested.
Like, we talked yesterday, Stuart Rhodes, for an hour about, you know, a lot of what happened on January 6th.
And one of the key tactics that they used was to arrest somebody, threaten them with life in prison, and say, you can be out in six months if you just sign here saying you're guilty and provide us some, you know, evidence to go after the bigger people.
Brutal and outrageous when proposed to people whose crime was walking through the Capitol without explicit permission.
But it is how a RICO case works, and it is what you're supposed to do when going after a mafia of sorts to get to the big guy.
First you lean on the little guys and force them to engage in discussions.
So why aren't we doing that?
Let's do that, actually.
That's what we should be doing.
Meanwhile, finally, federal agents bust California human smuggling ring that allegedly involved 20,000 people.
When liberals hear the phrase mass migration, they seem to think of it as an opportunity to virtue signal about how welcoming they are to foreigners.
For conservatives and other supporters of President Donald Trump, however, that phrase conjures up realistic images of horrors for everyone involved.
According to Fox News, federal agents disrupted a massive human smuggling operation on Friday when they arrested two Guatemalan men accused of trafficking 20,000 illegal immigrants into the United States since just 2019.
The arrests occurred in downtown Los Angeles, California.
Edward Domingo Renaj Matul and Cristobal Majib now face the possibility of the death penalty if convicted.
The smuggling operation, which included two other defendants, Jose Paxtor Oxglage and Helmer Obispo Hernandez.
What's up with all these hyphenated last names?
Are these all powerful women?
Is that what's going on here?
Every single one of them has a hyphenated last name.
That's not a Mexican thing, is it?
They featured elements akin to kidnapping and extortion.
For instance, the defendants allegedly charged $15,000 to $18,000 for a safe passage into the United States.
But that passage was also allegedly included unexpected charges for transport across the U.S. and smugglers kept migrants who could not pay as hostages in order to extort more money from their families back home.
20,000 people.
A small drop in the bucket of the tens of millions that have crossed over our border since 2019. Again, where are the mass deportations, I wonder?
That's your Daily Dispatch.
Let's go now, and I just put it in there.
This video by Alex Jones saying the head of the FBI New York, Agent James Dennehy, has been forced out and forced into retirement as a consequence of his Concealing and likely destroying information from Jeffrey Epstein as well as in other very high-profile national cases.
Here's Alex Jones responding to that news yesterday.
We're having trouble importing it in real quick.
We'll get that in just a second.
I don't know what we have to do here.
To get this cross to everybody, but these people should not be fired.
They should be arrested because they're committing crimes.
They're criminals.
Here's Alex Jones on the topic.
alex jones
James Dennehy, the head of the New York FBI, that said they were going to dig in and resist Trump a month ago, was told resign today by the AG Pambondi or be fired.
And he did.
Now, he's the one in the FBI covering up and hiding the Epstein files on record.
And the daughter of James Comey, Maureen Comey, is the one that ran the cover-up cases, the criminal cases, not just with Epstein, but P. Diddy and so many others.
Whenever an intelligence agency, Assad, MI6 or CIA, is involved in these child pedophile rings to compromise politicians and leaders and scientists and others, Bill Gates and others have been heavily implicated, Epstein Island, you name it.
They gave Pam Bondi last week the limited information.
She put a cover sheet on it saying, I'm going to investigate.
We're going to raid the New York offices.
They raided them the next day.
She said that on Thursday.
They raided them on Friday.
And now, reportedly, They have tried to cover up the files, but some good agents had some of the files for their investigations, which proves obstruction by these people.
So we've already heard a criminal investigation was started two weeks ago against James Comey, who was the master cover-up artist over all of this for the Deep State.
Then his daughter ran the cover-up in the actual cases.
Look it up.
And then you've got...
The individual in New York that just resigned, forcibly the news is reporting, but the corporate media is spinning it that it's over him saying don't help on the January 6th investigations and the FBI being involved in that.
No, that's just part of it.
So, everything Trump's doing is real so far.
Everything he's doing, world peace, controlling the border, bringing jobs back to America, blocking the censorship, it's all real.
So why would Pam Bondi and Kash Patel be different?
No.
Kosh Patel exposed the illegal spying on Trump to begin with and got the documents.
So get ready for fireworks, folks.
This is a real revolution.
And I expect these people to be indicted very, very sincerely with James Comey, then his daughter, and then the head of the New York FBI. So we're living in extremely historic times right now, also extremely dangerous.
I mean, Trump is ending the sanctions on Russia.
He just cut all the military funding to Ukraine today.
He just brought in huge tariffs against all these countries.
Screwing us over.
This is real change.
This is history happening right now.
There's not just evil in the universe.
There's good as well.
And I'm so proud of America.
I'm so proud of Trump.
I'm so proud of Musk, all of you.
Let's keep it up.
Please follow me on XRLXJones.
All the reports have been so vital.
I'm going to post under this Owens breakdown earlier today when this first broke.
But this is massive, ladies and gentlemen.
This is real.
This guy arrogantly said he wouldn't hand himself over.
He's gone.
And there's now criminal investigations of all of them.
History is happening now.
But remember, Epstein is just one part of this.
That always be released as well.
But also, the Wiener laptop was the Clinton Foundation above the control group, above Epstein.
We already know that.
It's come out in documents, but not the specifics of what's on the laptop.
And a whole bunch of the cops, what, six or seven that saw it in New York, all committed suicide or got killed.
going back, what, six, seven years ago.
So reportedly what's on that laptop is the snuff films, not just the raping of children.
So get ready, folks.
Trump is just going through all this information.
He's ordered his people release it, go after him.
This is war against the deep state.
This is the second American revolution worldwide.
And this is really good signs from the Justice Department, Trump administration.
harrison smith
Thank you so much. - All right, so that's Alex Jones responding to that.
And again, a lot of this stuff is real.
It's just not happening quite in the way that I would like to see it happen.
But it is...
Things are happening.
We can say that.
NBC News reported Monday that James Dinehy, the head of FBI's New York office, threw in the towel just days after his office was revealed to have been hiding thousands of Epstein documents.
Quote, late Friday I was informed that I needed to put my retirement papers in today, which I just did, Dennehy wrote in an email obtained by NBC. I was not given a reason for this decision.
As if you didn't know.
Two sources confirmed to NBC that Dennehy was given the choice between getting fired or resigning.
He chose the latter.
She later announced that a key FBI official involved in withholding these critical documents will not be working with us anymore.
Having people question whether this was Dennehy who she was talking about.
And she actually has made more statements about this as she scrambles to make up for the absolute bungling of this, the debacle from last Thursday when they sent out a bunch of right-wing social media influencers into the camera press pool with big binders that said Epstein release one.
Which I still contend was a failed PSYOP that was meant to trick the Trump supporters into thinking that we were getting the Epstein documents.
It was only after that PSYOP failed.
She said, oh no, actually the FBI has been hiding it from me.
And I didn't know.
But now apparently truckloads of documents are arriving.
And that's what Pam Bondi is saying.
Here's Pam Bondi on Fox News yesterday talking about the truckloads of documents that they're receiving having to do with Jeffrey Epstein.
pam bondi
We all did.
And the FBI handed over a couple hundred pages of documents.
But, you know, Sean, I gave them a deadline of Friday at 8 a.m.
to get us everything.
And a source had told me where the documents were being kept.
Southern District of New York, shock.
So we got them all by, hopefully, all of them.
Friday at 8 a.m., thousands of pages of documents.
I have the FBI going through them.
And Cash is also, now that we have Cash here, it's a game changer, of course.
And Cash is going to director.
Patel is going to get us a detailed report as to why the FBI withheld all of those documents.
sean hannity
Okay.
I want to be clear because I think people got frustrated because they were expecting more.
You were expecting more.
And you didn't find out less than 24 hours before the release.
You got a whistleblower that confirmed that there were way more documents that they were supposed to turn over.
And then you found out just before that.
pam bondi
Well, sure.
And you're looking at these documents going, these aren't all the Epstein files.
You know, they were flight logs.
They were names and victims' names.
And we're going, where's the rest of the stuff?
And that's what the FBI had turned over to us.
And so a source said, whoa, all this evidence is sitting in the Southern District of New York.
So based on that, I gave them the deadline.
Friday at 8, a truckload of evidence arrived.
It's now in the possession of the FBI. Cash is going to get me and himself, really.
A detailed report as to why all these documents and evidence had been withheld.
And, you know, we're going to go through it, go through it as fast as we can, but go through it very cautiously to protect all the victims of Epstein, because there are a lot of victims.
sean hannity
Well, you had identified in phase one over 254. Okay.
Now, is that the only thing that would be redacted?
Will everything else be made public that you get in your possession?
pam bondi
Yeah, the FBI hasn't had, obviously, they haven't looked at the thousands of pages of documents that they've just received Friday.
But Cash has a team going through them, and it's always about protecting the victim.
But you know what?
We believe in transparency, and America has the right to know.
The Biden administration said on these documents, no one did anything with them, and why were they sitting in the Southern District of New York?
I want a full report on that.
You know, sadly, these people don't believe in transparency, but I think more, unfortunately, I think a lot of them don't believe in honesty, and it's a new day, it's a new administration, and everything's going to...
Come out to the public.
The public has a right to know.
Americans have a right to know.
sean hannity
And that goes the same with the JFK files?
pam bondi
JFK, Martin Luther King.
Yep, absolutely.
sean hannity
What are the things, and maybe some people don't understand the need to redact.
In the case of a victim, that should be pretty obvious to people.
What are the other things that maybe you'd have to redact?
National security?
pam bondi
Oh, of course.
National security, some grand jury information, which is always going to be confidential.
But we'll see.
Let's look through them.
Fast as we can, get it out to the American people, because the American people have a right to know, not only on that, but on Kennedy, on Martin Luther King, on all of these cases that the Biden administration has just sat on for all these years.
So yeah, it's really, it's not sad, it's infuriating that these people thought that they could sit on this information, but they can't.
It's a new day, and...
We believe in transparency and it's going to come out.
And when we redact things, Sean, what we're going to do is not just pull pages out like they used to do.
If something's redacted, you will know the line and you will know why it's redacted.
A victim's name, identifying information of a victim.
harrison smith
So again, obviously the public pressure about this is having an effect.
I'm still not holding my breath.
I am still standing on the...
Idea that we're probably not ever going to get much more information than what we already know, which is plenty, by the way, which is more than enough to understand who Jeffrey Epstein was and who he was working for and what his purpose was.
You know, I'm not sure what exactly we would find in those documents.
That would be surprising.
But it would be nice to have them.
But it would be nice to know once and for all.
Ideally, it would be nice if even just one of the people who engaged with Jeffrey Epstein in the abuse of children was brought to justice.
But as has been pointed out, since the whole thing happened, since Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested in the first place, you've got a charge of human trafficking and basically child prostitution.
With hundreds of victims and hundreds of customers, and yet the only people to be arrested or even connected to this legally are Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, despite the fact that there were hundreds of people engaged in this trafficking activity.
But again, we have this...
Retirement, this, I guess, you know, fully receiving his pension, this FBI official, Dennehy, just gets to retire now after either lying to Pam Bondi or hiding the documents, or this was all just Pam Bondi's doing, and this guy's a scapegoat, getting thrown under the bus.
Of course, they note that it's not just the Epstein documents that this guy's been NBC also noted that Dennehy previously wrote an email to his staff after the Trump Justice Department requested a list of employees who'd worked criminal cases against the hundreds of Trump January 6th supporters persecuted by the Biden regime.
As Gateway Pundit readers know, then-acting director Brian Driscoll refused to hand over the names of officials involved in January 6th in Trump investigations.
Saying, quote, today we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own as good people are being walked out of the FBI, Dennehy wrote in an email.
And others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and FBI. Quote, time for me to dig in, Dennehy said.
Well, now it's time for the Epstein files to be fully released.
No excuses.
And frankly, the bad actors inside these government agencies need to themselves be arrested and questioned and find out.
What orders they're working on, who they're listening to, if it's not the elected representatives of the American people.
All right, welcome back, folks.
This is the American Journal.
I'm your host, Harrison Smith, InfoWars.com, band.video.
I didn't sleep very well last night.
I'm sort of tired, so I literally took a handful of every supplement that we have.
So we'll see.
You'll get to watch in real time as they kick in.
I'm legitimately already feeling more energetic.
I took a handful of stuff.
I don't know if this is what the doctor orders, but a little Brain Force, a little Shilajit, a little Sambucus, a little Seamoss.
Just throw it all at the wall, see what sticks.
By the way, go to...
This is what's happening in my head right now.
Yeah, just know that is what we do.
That is what we do here at InfoWars.
Feeling a little under the weather, feeling a little tired, a little sleepy, a little groggy.
You go to the supplements.
You grab the supplements at thealexjonesstore.com and take a handful of them.
Turns out they work super well.
We don't just sell you this stuff.
We use it too.
I'm eyeing a whole shelf of products over there.
I'm going to start.
I'm starting eating more and more every break here.
We got a lot.
We got Hydra Force.
We got the Optimal Human, Vitamin Mineral Fusion, Ultimate Fish Oil, Real Red Pill Plus, Voltivitamin, Nerve Renew.
Vazo Beats, Ultra 12, Survival Shield X3, Brain Force, Super Male Vitality, Good Night's Sleep, don't take that, Nitric Boost, Ultimate Krill Oil, Prebiotic Fiber, Energy Supplement, DNA Force Plus, Silver Bullet.
It just goes on and on.
I'm going to take them all.
I'm going to take them all today and see what happens.
I'm going to ascend to a higher level of consciousness.
I'm going to go full rainbow body, Tibetan mystic style.
All right.
We're in.
We're in.
We're zoned in here.
I want to go to a video now.
This is from Piers Morgan's show.
And they're talking about Jake Tapper and the new book he's releasing.
It's a pretty hilarious discussion overall.
I don't even know what to say about it other than the way they talk about this stuff is still sort of infuriating.
I think you'll see what I mean.
Jake Tapper has apparently written a book about the cover-up of Joe Biden's mental decline.
And I got an interpretation of this that I think is more accurate than most people are landing on.
You'll see what it is, but I think the real purpose of this book...
Is an attempt to rehabilitate journalism as a career in this country and to basically frame it.
Maybe I'll just leave this till afterwards.
No, I'll just say it now.
Basically, the way it's worked is that the Democratic Party in the White House under Joe Biden was working hand in glove with the mainstream media.
And they were willfully lying and covering up things from the Biden administration on purpose because they're in collusion, hoots with one another.
When they got busted, now they're taking a different tack and they're saying, oh no, it was us poor journalists that were just tricked by the big bad president.
And so now, you know, it's a reminder that journalists can't just take the presidents at their word and they have to...
You know, be interfering in this.
Let's go to the video.
Here is clip 12. Sean Spicer and Anna Kasparian on Piers Morgan's show.
piers morgan
Jake Tapper has a new book out.
harrison smith
Oh, thank you, Piers.
piers morgan
Jake Tapper has a new book out.
harrison smith
Not yet.
piers morgan
Not yet.
What's that?
harrison smith
It's not yet.
unidentified
I will predict here.
I don't think this book, I'm glad you're covering this, but I will bet you today it doesn't get published.
piers morgan
OK, well, let's explain what it is to viewers who don't know.
It's called Original Sin.
President Biden's declined its cover-up and his disastrous choice to run again.
Now, the reason it's blown up and being so kind of tricky is that Jake gave an interview.
Was interviewing Laura Trump when she...
Well, let's play the clip.
You can mark it out for yourselves what happened.
unidentified
I think what we see on stage with Joe Biden, Jake, is very clearly a cognitive decline.
That's what I'm referring to.
It makes me uncomfortable to watch somebody on stage search for questions and try and figure out an answer.
A cognitive decline.
You're trying to tell me that what I was suggesting was a stuttering.
I think that you were mocking his stutter.
I have no idea, Joe Biden.
jake tapper
Anna, I think you were mocking his stutter, and I think you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline.
unidentified
I would think that somebody in the Trump family would be more sensitive to people who do not have medical licenses diagnosing politicians from afar.
piers morgan
The criticism, Anna, here is that in the blurb for the book, it goes on to say, What you will learn makes President Biden's decision to run for re-election seem shockingly narcissistic, self-delusional and reckless.
It's a desperate bet that went bust and part of a larger act of extended public deception that has few precedents.
And people are saying, well, hang on.
That decision was taken literally around the time that that interview took place with Lara Trump, when you were enraged, Jake.
Now, I like Jake.
I think he's a very good broadcaster.
But he's going to face a lot of criticism, I think, about this apparent double standard here.
What do you think, Anna?
ana kasparian
I mean, I agree and he should face some backlash for the fact that he skewered anyone who was concerned about Biden's age during the 2020 election cycle and after the election cycle.
But, you know, he couldn't really...
Pretend as though Biden still had perfect mental health after that disastrous debate for the 2024 election cycle.
I would have maybe sat this one out.
Maybe don't publish that book.
Maybe find a different topic.
And look, I want to make a broader point.
A broader point about, you know, Democrats in general.
And I say this out of kindness because I think this is what's leading to them making poor decisions.
If the right claims something, I get the temptation to automatically assume it's bad faith, there's no truth to it, no credibility, no merit.
I get that temptation to think that.
And you know what?
In a lot of cases, that might even be true.
But sometimes they make good points, and you should, as someone who purports to be a journalist, just investigate it.
harrison smith
Oh, really?
Oh, really, Anna?
Oh, my God, Anna.
She's breaking new ground here.
Let's pause it.
Let's pause it.
Name something we've been wrong about, Anna Kisperian.
In fact, let me finish up, because I think she finishes this statement with, you know, another one of these claims.
She says, I get it.
I get the temptation to say that any time the right says anything, your immediate reaction, your reflexes to say it has no merit, it's born from bigotry, it's stupid.
Can you name one thing we've been wrong about, I wonder?
We were right about Joe's cognitive dissidence.
Was that born from bigotry?
Was that bad faith, speculation, just totally baseless?
We just wanted to come up with something to throw at Joe Biden.
Even though he was perfectly mentally sound, we decided just to run with this crazy lie that he was not cognitively all there.
This type of thing.
It is killing the Democratic Party.
It's also killing the socialists and Anna Kisparian herself.
And she hilariously is acting like she's not part and parcel with everything Jake Tapper is and says.
And she doesn't do this every single time also.
I don't know how you perpetuate an absurdity for so long without ever receiving even a scintilla of evidence to support it.
Everything we say, you immediately renounce, say is a bad faith argument.
You try to then come up with a whole bunch of reasons why we might be making this claim as if it's not true, even though it is on the face of it.
I mean, what have we been wrong about, about anything ever?
Honestly, what is it?
And they do this with literally everything.
It's infuriating.
We're just like, hey.
There's millions of people crossing over the border.
Oh, we can't care about that.
It can't be that we just actually care about sovereignty, actually just see all of the downstream effects of the rising house prices and the lowering of wages and the crowding of public services and the just lowering of life, quality of life overall.
And the fact that these people aren't like us and don't speak our same language, we can't relate to them because we can't even communicate with them and they're living next door to us and they're total strangers and we'll never be able to even communicate on a basic level.
Like, can we not think that?
Is that not possible for us to just actually have a problem with people crossing the border in just the purely, you know, exactly what we say it is?
This is bad.
This is wrong financially, economically.
Culturally, this is just bad.
No, it has to be that we're secret racists, and actually we just hate Mexican people and brown people and black people, and we want, it's really, we're white nationalists, and we want the return of the Third Reich.
That must be what's really behind it.
They can't just want a safe border.
Oh, they have a problem with vaccines.
Oh, well, that must be because they want old people to die.
This is the absurdity they go to sometimes.
And it's, again, literally everything.
Is it not possible that maybe, just maybe, parents are concerned that their children are being shown hardcore cartoon pornography in the elementary school library?
Is that not a legitimate concern that you could perhaps consider?
Before having a g-jerk reaction where you say, there just must be fundamentalist Christians that hate the existence of gay people and want to discriminate against gay people, so they want to keep their literature out of libraries.
It's literally everything.
Everything we say is true.
Every position we have is perfectly valid, totally reasonable, and backed by infinite evidence.
And every single time, these...
Fucking leftists have to come out and act like what we're saying is ridiculous and it must be born from some bigotry and there must be some secret ulterior motive for us saying what is patently obvious.
So it's enough already.
Enough of this.
Enough.
How many times do we have to be proven incontrovertibly accurate?
You just have to admit.
You have to admit we're right about.
Biden, you have to admit we are right about COVID. You have to admit we are right about the vaccines.
You have to admit we are right about the lockdowns and masks.
You have to admit that we are right about homosexuality and the massive and disturbing effects it has on culture.
We're right about immigration.
We're right about the Ukraine war.
We're even right about what's going on in Gaza and Israel.
Now, not the most of the right.
They do have ulterior motives for...
Promoting that.
That's the one occasional case where their ridiculous inherent bigotry happens to find them on the right side of the conflict, the leftist that is.
But this is just, it's like, I just don't understand.
Why does anybody listen to these people?
Why does anybody take anything they say seriously?
Why is Anna Kasperian the one saying this?
She may be, you know, she's in the Young Turks, which are some of the worst, one of the worst outlets ever for this exact thing.
We can't just...
Like having police because we actually don't want to be raped and murdered in our own homes and we understand the basic function of law and order.
It must be that we love that black people are being murdered by the police, right?
That's why we just genuinely like having the neighborhood cops around is because we think that maybe they're hunting black people and actually it's just our vicious racism that's, you know, compounding that too.
I mean, is there...
Is there anything these people are willing to admit that we're right about and that our position is not born from some, you know, absurd ulterior motive?
And maybe the most frustrating thing about it is even when we are right, even when, which is always, by the way, even every time when we are right, they never say, ah, gee, you know, how did these guys know and nobody else did?
Gee, what information are these guys privy to?
What's the pattern of logic that these guys are following?
Because they seem to be right about literally everything, every time, years before everybody else.
Maybe we should look into this.
They instead say, this was a fluke, this was an accident.
You still are just bigots and racist and you're just stupid and have these stupid beliefs that just happen to be right every time.
And that's an accident somehow.
I'm thinking of the Scott Adams thing after he finally admitted the vaccine was bad, was wrong, was stupid and poisonous.
And he's like, you know, it just so happens that these people that are just anti-everything, they happen to be right this time.
They can't give us the grace, can't give us the courtesy of saying, hey, maybe these guys have a position that they hold because of reasonable interpretation of reality, that they've thought about it, and from a place of love and understanding and empathy, they've come to this understanding of the facts and where they lie.
It has to be, well, they're right, but they're just right because they just, they happen to...
To land on the correct position this time because while they're just petulantly anti-everything, in this case they happen to be right.
In this case, just by accident, they knew that the vaccines were bad when really the vaccines could have been good and they still would have been against them.
Everything we say is true and everything you people say is wrong.
And I don't understand how this can happen day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, decade after decade.
And that these dumbass scum suckers still go on TV and act like they're going to inform us about what's going on.
Did anybody need, and of course you have Jake Tapper going, you're just making fun of Biden's stutter.
Okay, so we see the President of the United States, incapable of remembering anything, waving to dead people in the crowd, shaking hands with nobody, falling off his bike, rolling down the stairs.
Just being ordered around by the Easter Bunny, getting lost in his own backyard, social secret service, having to drag him around by the elbow because he can't figure out where the hell he is, what planet he's on anymore.
He can't string a sentence together.
Every time he's in public, he embarrasses himself by trying to pronounce a three-syllable word and getting lost halfway through.
And they sit there and go, you're just making fun of his stutter because you're mean and you hate people with cognitive handicaps.
Some people have slight physical ailments and you're just mocking that because you're a bully.
It's just like, what do we have to do?
How many times do we have to be right?
How many things do we have to be correct about consistently year over year over year before these people just shut the hell up forever?
And just take a little slice of humble pie and go, gee, when I'm wrong about everything for years on end, maybe I should shut the hell up forever.
Maybe I should kill myself because I've been presenting myself as a political pundit, an analyst, somebody who people should listen to, and I'm wrong about literally everything I've ever said.
Like, does that thought ever occur to them?
It occurs to me about them quite a bit.
Quite a bit.
So we're right about literally everything.
I don't know what is wrong with these people.
I can explain it through bizarre psychological imperatives.
I can try to justify it.
But at the end of the day, these people are just scum.
They're just lying, evil, rotten, putrid, socialist, communistic scum.
They're just worthless rats that we just have to continually, day after day, Confront and try to stop from being little weasel rat snakes.
I just, I hate these people.
I genuinely do hate these people.
Because I don't understand them.
Maybe that's what it, maybe I just hate what I don't understand.
And I don't understand people who sit there and claim that Joe Biden is the, not, because it's never just, well, he might be a little bit.
Slow, but he's still on top.
He's messed up a few times, but...
Let's not throw the baby out the bathwater here.
Things are okay.
No, no, no.
It has to be Joe Biden is the sharpest, most intelligent, most cognitively capable man that has ever lived.
We go into meetings with him and we are all in awe.
Our jaws hang agape as we just are in shock and wonder.
We're enthralled at this brilliant, charismatic, sharp, intelligent genius that we all get to work with.
Single time.
We're right about voting fraud.
We're right about mail-in ballots.
We're right about the lockdowns.
We're right about George Floyd and Black Lives Matter.
We're right about just every, just mention a thing and we're right about it.
Just, you know, spin the top wherever it lands.
That's the thing that, again, we're right about.
You're wrong about.
You call us bigots and come up with all sorts of other excuses as to why we believe what we believe when what we believe is what we observe with our eyes.
It's reality.
That's what we believe.
Reality is what we believe.
These people either say, you're just a bigot and you're making fun of the president because he has a little stutter, a little accidental stutter.
Apparently a stutter makes him fall off his bike.
Oh, a stutter?
Was he stuttering when he got lost in his front yard?
It's just outrageous and retarded.
Or...
Or it's, well, you're not a medical professional.
You don't have the, what do you say, professional medical standing to diagnose cognitive decline?
Oh, I'll tell you what.
When the President of the United States says, the one word that defines this is, and doesn't even realize that he messed up and then just keeps going like he's speaking in English, you don't need a medical degree to understand a retard when you see one, okay?
And that's what we saw.
And by the way, Anna Kasparian is right that it was this way during 2020. Remember when his eye exploded during a debate?
Remember when that happened?
And people said, gee, maybe this guy's not physically fit to be president.
And what was the reaction again?
Just like always is, oh, now you're just bigoted.
Oh, that's just a stutter.
Oh, his eye exploding?
That was a stutter.
That's his childhood stutter coming back in the form of a blood vessel bursting in his eyeball.
So we have to pretend like these people have anything reasonable or logical to say.
Let's go back to the video.
Let's see what else they have to say.
But it's like these people are just the worst.
These people are just the worst.
We should go on and on.
Because all I've talked about so far is how we've pointed out Joe's obvious cognitive design.
Do we want to get in to the way that the Democrats...
Take Trump using two hands to drink a bottle of water to act like it's a medical emergency and start talking about the 25th Amendment.
When he walks slowly down a wet metal ramp, they act like he should be put in the hospital and euthanized because he's not going to make it anymore.
So it's like it's the hypocrisy, it's the stupidity, it's the fake speculation about ulterior motives when all we're doing is recognizing reality.
It's just like, how does anybody listen to any of these people?
I don't get it.
I don't understand it.
And I fear for, like, the American populace that these people even still have a voice, let alone an audience.
Let's go back to this video of dumbass number one on dumbass number two's program.
Let's watch.
ana kasparian
As someone who purports to be a journalist, just investigate it.
You don't have to believe what anyone says at face value, but just investigate it.
harrison smith
Oh, just investigate it a little bit, huh?
ana kasparian
Because they might be telling the truth.
harrison smith
Oh, maybe we are.
ana kasparian
You know, lifting the veil on some big issue that the left is blind to.
No.
Please don't automatically assume that if someone on the right says something, it's automatically wrong.
They might have a good point.
unidentified
Please don't assume that everything somebody on the right says is wrong.
harrison smith
No, everything we say is right.
You're wrong about literally everything.
Can you name me?
I mean, honestly.
Honestly, I want to know.
And I'm going to open up the phone lines for this.
Call me if you can point out one thing that the right wing believed that turned out to be false and...
The consequence of, like, bigotry or racism or, like, some sort of ulterior motive?
I mean, can you find one thing, one thing that falls into that category?
And a Kasperian's like, maybe not every time it's like that.
Never, never once.
I mean, was it because we hated Chinese people that we said COVID came from China?
Was it because we hate science that we said COVID came from a lab?
Was it because we wanted grandmothers to die that we said lockdown was stupid and would have negative consequences?
Is it because we just fear needles that we say the vaccine was ineffective and hugely dangerous?
Is it was it racism?
That compelled us to talk about the open border is can you name me one single thing that the right wing has lied about some some false belief that we've held as a consequence of ulterior motives or however she said it.
How did she put it?
Bad faith.
Has there been one instance of an argument between the left and the right where it was bad faith argumentation that brought us to our position?
A single thing?
We're right about transgenderism.
We're right about indoctrinating children.
We're right about literally everything.
So can you name me one single thing that would justify you saying this about anything?
Now, this is how crazy they are.
There's not one example that I can think of, of a position that the right wing holds.
That's bad faith or has ulterior motives or whatever else.
They say that everything we believe is like that.
So just total inversion, total inside-out nonsense retard world that we just have to live in.
So we'll get back to the news here in just a second.
But I just want to emphasize to you, we're right about absolutely everything years before everybody else.
You should just have to listen.
ron paul
To the weekly report.
Suddenly, leaving NATO is on the table.
Over the weekend, President Trump's Department of Government efficiency head, Elon Musk, made quite a stir with just two words posted on his social media platform, X. Responding to a post that it's time to leave NATO and the UN, Musk replied, I agree.
The comment immediately made the rounds on social media and also on mainstream and alternative media.
Was this the Elon Musk who owns X speaking?
Or was it the Elon Musk who has become one of President Trump's closest advisers?
Does it even matter?
Having someone so close to the US president who advocates finally extracting the US from these international organizations...
is a significant and very positive shift for the United States.
With the truth coming out about how USAID has been working against U.S. interests for decades, the disinfectant of public scrutiny is now turning to our membership in and generous funding of international organizations like NATO and the United Nations.
I've long advocated our exit from NATO. At the end of the Cold War, with its very reason for existence gone, NATO decided to look for other ways of stirring up trouble.
First, NATO involved itself in the first Gulf War, and then it decided its mission should be to bomb Serbia to smithereens in the name of human rights.
I agree with the late Senator Robert Taft.
Who argued at the time NATO was formed that we should not join the Atlantic Alliance.
It has become much clearer these past few months just how far NATO has shifted away from U.S. interests.
Even though the United States funds a whopping 70% of NATO's costs, Our own NATO allies are working against the United States as President Trump attempts to pull us back from the brink of war with Russia.
A simple telephone call between President Trump and Putin was met with hysteria among NATO member countries, and just as U.S. and Russian high-level delegations were meeting in Saudi Arabia to look for a way to walk back from a war footing.
Our allies decided to hold their own summit in opposition to the U.S. move.
In Paris, our partners pledged to continue their failed Ukraine policy and to ridicule the United States for looking to try something different.
To add insult to injury right at the center of the table in Paris was none other than the Secretary General of NATO himself, former Dutch politician Mark Rutte.
The message was very clear.
We are working against you.
We push war while you push peace, but you must keep footing the bill.
Also, over the weekend, Senator Mike Lee, Republican from Utah, and Representative Thomas Massey, Republican from Kentucky, echoed Elon Musk's cinema with Senator Lee posting a chart showing the widely...
Disproportionate amount of U.S. taxpayers' dollars that go to funding NATO with the statement, Get out of NATO! Representative Massey added to Lee's comments, NATO is a Cold War relic that needs to be relegated to a talking kiosk at the Smithsonian.
As in the time of Senator Robert Taft, the sentiment against NATO membership is coming from the conservative end of the U.S. political spectrum.
With President Trump's clear mandate to pursue his America First agenda, we have the best opportunity in decades to sever our damaging and expensive entangling alliances across the globe.
Let's start with NATO. Thanks for listening.
harrison smith
There's the great Ron Paul talking about the idea of removing ourselves from NATO. Long, long overdue.
NATO should have died when the Soviet Union died.
There's been no point to it other than to allow our military industrial complex to prop up fake enemies for us to fight.
unidentified
All right, welcome back.
harrison smith
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the American Journal.
I'm your host, Harrison Smith, Infowars.com, band.video.
A lot of videos to show you today.
I also want to open up the phone lines for your calls.
The number to dial if you want to call into American Journal is 1-877-789-2539.
1-877-789-2539.
We'll take your calls throughout the show today.
Like I said, we have a lot of videos to get to.
And we're going to talk about sort of Europe and the Ukraine war today more.
We also have some COVID news.
We have the tariffs being enacted today.
We have Donald Trump promising to tell the world the truth or something like that tonight during the State of the Union.
Trump has suspended military aid to Ukraine after that Oval Office blow-up, causing the EU to scramble to try to make up for the lack of funds from America.
EU chief proposes a plan to urgently increase defense spending by mobilizing around $840 billion.
Question, of course, still...
Should still be ringing in the ears of every European is what the hell do you think you're fighting for in the first place?
Considering the fact that you don't have safety, you don't have security, and you don't have governments that uphold European beliefs, what exactly are you fighting for?
Again, you're fighting for some sort of faux-liberal bureaucracy.
You're fighting to uphold the international rules-based order.
That only applies certain times and at other times is a threat to the existence of Israel.
The international rules-based order, I guess, if you want to actually pinpoint something that would justify going to war, since they're not fighting for free speech, they're not fighting for democracy, because they don't really live in democracies, then they must be fighting for the rules-based international order.
But they also claim that the ICJ is an anti-Semitic terror organization and America threatens to invade the Hague if they dare convict Benjamin Netanyahu.
So it's like, okay, you're going to fight World War III over the rules-based international order that you also hate and ignore when it goes against you.
So what is this?
So what exactly are we doing?
We keep hearing about the security of Europe.
We have to defend our security, right?
Europe is ready to massively boost its defense spending, both to respond to the short-term urgency and react to support Ukraine and also address the long-term need to take on much more responsibility for our own European security, said Ursula von der Leyen.
Well, should we take a look at...
Literally every European capital?
Should we take a gander at what every single capital of every single European country now looks like?
We can at least go to Barcelona, right?
We have this video of what Barcelona is like these days.
Clip number one here.
What could Putin do?
To Barcelona, that would be worse than this.
Let's watch.
unidentified
This is also Barcelona.
Multicultural.
Yes, multicultural.
harrison smith
By the way, it's not just Spain whose capital city is flooded by literally millions of random foreigners it's not just Spain whose capital city is flooded by literally millions of random foreigners beating their
It's also the capitals of Portugal and the UK and Ireland and also France and don't forget Germany and the Netherlands and Sweden and Norway.
I mean, it just goes on.
I mean, unless it's an Eastern European country like Poland that actually and very racially defends its border.
Yeah, that's...
That's every capital in Europe.
You know every capital in Europe now, the number one name for babies is Mohammed.
Every single capital in Europe.
So what is the security that they're defending?
What is the European way of life that they are spending a trillion dollars to uphold against Russia?
Meanwhile, take a look at a Russian downtown in a major Russian city.
It looks like heaven.
It looks like a very peaceful and let's just say it doesn't have hordes of random Indian men pouring cow poop on themselves and some sort of bizarre occultish orgy.
Okay, so it's not really security that they're after since those countries are deliberately and efficiently eradicating their own population.
Okay, so it's not security.
It must be the values.
Must be the values, right?
Let's go to clip number two.
Let's take a look up close and personal at some of the values that are worth going to World War III over this time in the UK where British police raid the home of a grandfather with a heart condition because he said something they don't like on Facebook.
Let's watch clip number two.
unidentified
What do you mean I can't have any alcohol?
Okay, well, I'll tell you.
Okay, the Times, 23, 1440, are arresting you on suspicion of improper use of the electronic communications network.
What?
127, communications network.
So I'm actually being arrested?
You're going to be arrested, okay?
Right.
This is in relation to some comments that you've made on Facebook.
Oh, I'll see a Facebook crime, is it?
OK. So, we need to ask you some questions about that.
Right.
piers morgan
Have you got anything in your pocket?
unidentified
I've got my keys.
No, I suppose it, I take the keys.
So, anyone who's been arrested, we can search for another section 32. Right.
piers morgan
And that's for dangerous items.
unidentified
I mean, you said I was going to be arrested under some more information.
I'm going to be arrested for posting on Facebook.
You've made some comments that are offensive, obscene, and people have made complaints about that.
Can you tell me what this comment was?
We'll do that in the interview.
All right.
So when am I going to be locked up for the night?
Hopefully not.
Hopefully not.
Right, do I need to take my medications with me?
Yes, we will look at taking all of those.
When do you need to take them?
Well, I've got pain medications, I've got anxiety medications, which I might take one of those in a bit.
Okay.
You know?
piers morgan
If we take everything with us, then you've got everything there, haven't you?
unidentified
No, no, no.
We've got a nurse up there.
They'll be able to come and see you, and then once you've been there, they can assess whether or not a medication can be issued.
All right, so what we're going to do is you want to pop yourself up.
We're just going to search.
I need the glasses.
Yeah, search you.
To come with you.
My glasses?
Yeah.
Do you want to come with you?
Bye.
First of all, I'm going to seize this, okay?
Advogance.
harrison smith
And so she turns off the phone.
It turns out you can be a Nazi if you're just polite.
It turns out the UK is fine with Nazi-style raids of old men for things they post on Facebook.
They won't even tell them what it is because it's sort of one of those things.
If you have ideas or words or phrases that are illegal, you're arresting somebody and they're like, what did I say?
And they're like, well, we can't say it.
Well, it's illegal for us to say what you said that we're now...
Arresting you for it.
It gets kind of confusing, a little complicated.
And it's like, I don't, you know, I don't know what is, what's wrong with people.
Like, they have this almost, like, surface-level interpretation of the world where if you saw that exact same thing with, like, Nazis, they're in Nazi uniforms with the jackboots, going, hand your phone over now, you've insulted the Führer.
It's like, oh my god, oh my god, tyranny!
But it's like a woman going, okay, sweetie, you need to hand your phone over because you said some naughty things and, you know, hopefully you won't have to stay the night, but you better grab your medicine just in case you need to.
It's like, this is the same.
We're seeing the same thing.
You understand that, right?
You understand that just doing it politely doesn't mean you're not being a tyrannical, oppressive, jackbooted thug.
You know, they figured this out.
And this is one of the key things that the people in power figured out.
They're like, man, if we just stomp on people, then they fight back.
But if we stomp on people while petting them on the head, they think they're being treated nicely.
They think it's all good.
They legitimately realize that if we force people to do things and we're mean about it, they're going to rebel.
But if we force somebody to do something and we smile and condescend to them and act sweet while we do it, then they go along with it.
This has been the key...
Understanding of the New World Order and their drive to control humanity.
They figured out they just have to do it acting nice and then people can't see what's actually happening.
It's very strange, very bizarre.
But that's just one instance.
I mean, I don't want to make a big deal out of, you know, an instance of one old man posting something he doesn't even know what he posted on Facebook, being arrested and hauled away, dude with a heart condition, somebody who probably, like, fought in the Second World War, being hauled off to a dungeon.
Because he insulted the Mohammedans that have been flooding his country and raping his granddaughter.
It's just all awful.
But it's not just one instance.
It's a statistical reality.
So let's go now to this next video, video number 24. Let's watch.
unidentified
In Russia last year, 400 people were arrested for things that they said on social media.
400 people in Russia.
Obviously, this country is very different.
How many people do you think were arrested in Britain for things they said on social media last year?
Go on.
Take a guess.
I have no idea.
3,300.
Really?
Arrested for what they said on social media?
What sort of things get you arrested?
Well, one example I give in my show is there was a young woman from Liverpool called Chelsea Russell.
And people can look this up.
Her friend was killed in a car crash, a 19-year-old woman.
And she posted the lyrics of his favorite song on her Instagram.
And it was a rap song, so the lyrics contained several instances of the N-word.
She was arrested, prosecuted, found guilty, given 500 hours of community service and a fine, tagged, and for a year she was under 8pm to 8am curfew.
My goodness.
In Britain.
harrison smith
Yeah, not in Russia.
And by the way, those numbers are actually even more staggering than you might think.
It would already be outrageous if you've got 400 people arrested in Russia and 4,000 people arrested in the UK. That would mean that the UK is 10 times more censorious, 10 times more restrictive when it comes to speech.
That would be if they had equal populations.
The fact is that Russia has almost double the population of Britain.
So it actually turns out that Britain is something more like 20 times more restrictive than Russia.
400 people arrested for social media posts in Russia.
A population of 143.8 million people.
4,000 people arrested in the UK. With a population of 68.35 million people.
So what are we fighting Russia for again?
What exactly is going to be the harm that comes to Europe if Russia were to rule all of Europe as if that was ever a remote possibility?
Even taking their most insane fever dream You could actually say things that are true.
You could actually express your own experience.
Do you know, I mean, I've been over just some of the examples.
It's worth reiterating that they will throw you in prison for praying silently in your head.
They will throw you in prison for praying silently in your own home.
They will give you a greater sentence for burning a Quran than the guy who stabs you over it.
They'll give you a greater sentence for insulting the person who raped you than the person who raped you gets.
There was even an instance in the UK where a girl claimed she was raped by a Muslim rape gang.
They decided that she wasn't.
And they sentenced her to eight years in prison for lying and for trying to inspire racial hatred.
It turned out that a year later, the guys she accused of being in a rape gang were caught red-handed as part of a rape gang.
So was she lying about that?
She just happened to guess that these guys were rapists?
So you've got a girl in the UK who's raped by a Muslim rape gang, reports it.
She's in prison for eight years.
They're let go.
They get caught later with a different rape gang raping another white girl.
But they don't go back and say, hey, maybe that first girl was telling the truth.
She's just in jail for eight years.
She's in jail for nearly a decade in prison because she was raped by a Muslim rape gang.
So what are we fighting for again?
What does the recruitment poster look like here exactly?
Are they even bothering to try to make the argument?
So far, I haven't seen it.
So far, it's just Putin bad, Ukraine good, Russia big, Ukraine small.
Therefore, we have to start World War III. Worst case scenario, worst case scenario, Russia takes over Ukraine, keeps going, takes over Poland, takes over Germany, takes over the rest of them, and maybe they get free speech back.
Worst case scenario, the illusion of democracy is stripped away and you're just in the system that you're actually in.
It's just acknowledged now.
The totalitarian, authoritarian, anti-democracy that they live in right now is just admitted to rather than concealed under layers of bureaucracy.
So I don't know what they're...
What they think they're fighting for.
Let's go to a final video before we got to your phone calls.
Clip number 14. This is Tulsi Gabbard talking about Europe abandoning freedom.
Let's watch.
shannon bream
Well, and they also, though, think that they're in more alignment, and they should be, with the U.S. when it comes to those freedoms and things you talk about.
Certainly those are not things that you would say that Russia or Putin celebrates or bestows on his own people.
tulsi gabbard
That's correct.
I would not make that claim, and it's clear that that's not the case, nor does President Trump.
But that's not really what we're talking about here.
We're talking about many of these European countries, and Zelensky himself, who claim to be standing and fighting for the cause of freedom and democracy, when we actually look at what's happening in reality in these countries, as well as with Zelensky's government in Ukraine, is the exact opposite.
You have the canceling of elections in Ukraine.
Ukraine, you have political parties being silenced or even criminalized or thrown in prison, you have the freedom of religion, churches being shut down, you have political opposition being silenced, you have total government control of the media.
We could go down a whole laundry list of issues that are against the values of democracy and So it really begs the question, as Vice President Vance said again in Munich.
It's clear that they're standing against Putin.
Obviously, that's clear.
But what are they actually really fighting for?
And are they aligned with the values that they claim to hold in agreement with us, the values that President Trump and Vice President Vance are standing for?
And those are the values of freedom, of peace and true security.
unidentified
All right.
shannon bream
So the way that you describe Ukraine and the way that most Americans and most of the world understands Russia, are you saying it's essentially choosing between the lesser of two evils?
tulsi gabbard
What I'm focused on is what President Trump is focused on, which is peace.
Seeing the world through a very clear picture and making sure that the president is having honest and good faith negotiations with both of these countries to bring about an end to this war.
That is what it's about.
Lives are at stake.
The potential of World War III, if this war continues to go on and escalate, is what's at stake.
harrison smith
So I lied.
I got one more video.
I got one more video to show you before we go out to calls.
But, you know, I forgot.
I forgot during that whole rant.
I forgot to mention that Ukraine doesn't even have elections.
I forgot to mention the whole democracy psyop that we're supposed to believe in with a country that doesn't have elections has shut down all opposition parties and has confiscated the means of broadcast for...
Uncontrolled, non-government-sponsored media outlets in that country.
Sorry, I forgot to mention the wholesale eradication of even the semblance of democracy in Ukraine over this period, just adding another layer of absurdity to the claims that Europe is making that it has to defend the thing that doesn't exist.
But you know, J.D. Vance, when he gave that speech, talked about the fact that in Scotland, it was illegal to pray in your own home.
And a lot of people heard that.
And again, you know, like Anna Hesperian said, you know, this must be a bad faith argument, right?
I mean, there's no way that's true.
That's ridiculous.
It must be one of these very common, apparently, Republican talking points that's totally not based in fact, totally absurd, totally ridiculous, probably born of bigotry or white supremacy or Christian nationalism.
There's no way this is accurate, right?
And I hate to say it.
He was wrong.
J.D. Vance was wrong.
He was so wrong about the fact that it's illegal to pray in your house in Scotland.
There's no way that's accurate.
Here's somebody from Scotland to explain to us that that's not true, but actually kind of it is.
Let's watch.
unidentified
I should be really clear.
Praying in of itself is not an offence under this.
Under this bill, we are not banning prayer under the act.
Performative prayer.
If you're standing at a window with your hands together in front of your face in that classic kind of, you know, that classic image of prayer, if you're standing at a window so people can see you, then could it be interpreted as an offence?
That then depends on who's passing the window and whether anybody can actually...
harrison smith
So he's not wrong, is he?
unidentified
No, he is wrong because if...
I don't know anyone that can pray loudly or performatively enough to be seen from outside their own house.
harrison smith
Oh, so, okay.
So you can pray in your own home.
You just have to draw the curtains first.
Okay.
So you're allowed to pray just as long as you do it in a closet.
Okay?
It's ridiculous to say it's illegal to pray in your own home.
That's ridiculous.
It's illegal to pray in your own home in front of a window.
Okay, or out loud in a way that can be heard by other people.
Okay, so no singing hymns in your own home in Scotland.
That's illegal.
Okay?
But to say that it's illegal to pray in your own home, that's absurd.
Criminality of prayer within home depends on who's passing the window, claims author of the Scottish Buffer Zones Law, called out by J.D. Vance.
It's not illegal to pray in your own home.
It's illegal to pray in your home when somebody's outside.
When somebody's walking past your house, then it's illegal.
I mean, this is very reasonable.
It's not that we're systematically eradicating spirituality in Europe to fold everybody into a materialistic worldview in which life and death are meaningless and the exchange of energy is sterile and corporatized.
It's not that they're trying to tear down the very core of humanity itself.
It's just that, you know, you don't want to offend the Muslims.
So don't pray by the window.
All right, welcome back, folks.
I was going to go to this new video, but actually I'm going to save that because I understand our caller Mike is calling about the topic that's covered in that video.
So in the meantime, I will go to – I'm going to go to Patty in Boston.
We haven't heard from Patty in a while.
I'm so glad you've called in today, Patty.
Thank you for calling in.
How are you doing, sir?
unidentified
Well, first of all, you started out with a straight-up lie.
You're not glad that I called.
harrison smith
I beg to differ.
Why would I go to you first if I wasn't glad you called?
I could have left you on hold.
unidentified
Because you're a shyster.
andrew in new jersey
Yeah.
unidentified
Anyway, look, I just wanted to ask you, like, I have a question for you.
So, how is it, like, okay, when do we actually need to intervene in Europe?
Like, the whole concept of your argument here is that, well, we should just mind our own business and America first and all that.
Okay, fine, I get that.
But, like, when is it appropriate for us to get involved in Europe?
Is there any line that needs to be crossed?
harrison smith
Yeah, yeah, I would think so.
I mean, I think, frankly, I think we should be involved in the UK and Ireland.
I posted earlier, I'm generally anti-war.
I'm in favor, basically, as I can see it, of three wars at this point.
I'm in favor of a war on the southern border to deal with the cartels.
I'm in favor of a war on the Chinese fishing fleets that are deliberately and systematically destroying life in the ocean.
And I'd be in favor of an invasion of the British Isles to free those countries from the occupation by hostile foreigners.
So yeah, I'm actually in favor of not just using...
It doesn't have to be American military boots on the ground, but I'd like to see American influence be wielded to ensure that American ideals like free speech are still accepted in Europe, which is what J.D. Vance and Trump are doing.
So yeah, I would encourage...
You know, activity there.
The problem is that it's our activity in Europe, it's our intervention in Europe that has led to this war in the first place.
So, yeah, that would be my take on that.
unidentified
So, I mean, so the idea that we should be, like, do you think we should get involved in European Union politics?
Like, I mean, because it gets a little sticky at this point, right?
Like, I mean...
Where do we draw the line?
Like, I mean, I guess you could consider Ukraine part of the EU, right?
I mean, they are, you know?
So when do we say, like, okay, this Russian aggression is too far and we're going to go ahead and, I don't know, you know, are we going to get militarily involved?
harrison smith
No, I really don't think we should.
I mean, I like what's happening now.
I like the fact that the EU is rearming itself.
I mean, that's what they're calling it.
They're talking about spending $840 billion on mobilizing their own defense.
I mean, I want these countries to be self-sufficient and be able to defend themselves.
If they have to be defended against Russia, why should it be us doing that?
Like, that doesn't really track.
That doesn't really make any sense.
unidentified
When you're the biggest superpower in the world, is it your responsibility to militarily get involved when somebody does something really silly?
And I think that Russia has done something really, really silly with Ukraine.
I mean, they invaded another country.
So are we responsible to get involved there, or do you think we're not?
harrison smith
You know, honestly, I think the only argument to me that makes sense of why we're responsible and have to get involved is because it was us in the first place that started the fight.
I actually have sympathy for Zelensky and the fact that he's like, hey...
You guys told me to do this.
You guys said I would be good.
You guys said that you would fund Ukraine if I just go to war with Russia.
I believed you, and now you're backing out.
The thing is that that was a terrible deal.
He should have never made that.
That was the American deep state that we were against.
That was Biden and Obama and John Kerry and John McCain, right?
It was Republican and Democrat, so I'm not even making this a Republican-Democrat thing.
It was the American deep state.
Setting Ukraine up for destruction, but the people that called that out, we played yesterday the clip of John Mearsheimer in 2008 saying, hey, Ukraine, you are being led down the primrose path.
You are being set up for destruction, and they didn't listen, and they went along with the deep state.
Now that a populist is in power, I can understand why Zelensky would say, hey, what the hell?
You guys told me I'd be good.
I can actually sympathize with that.
Because the fact is, it was our intervention.
It was America's intervention in the first place that set up this whole war to begin.
I can understand that.
At the same time, that was bad.
We were against that when it happened.
We should have never done that.
This isn't an act of Russian aggression.
This is an act of Russian defense against American aggression encroaching continually on their borders and bringing more and more of their direct neighbors into our military alliance.
unidentified
You have to admit that it's not their border.
I mean, whatever was done in 2008 is okay.
I accept your argument, but the fact of the matter is that Ukraine is a sovereign nation, and they shouldn't have to deal with an invasion and just say, okay, well, we'll just...
They're getting their ass kicked, and there's no reason why they should.
Why should we, as a NATO country, I understand that they're not a NATO country, but still, I mean, they're a borderline NATO country, right?
Why should we bother?
Why should we accept?
The fact that Russia invades them.
Like, I mean, is that really what we want to be?
Like, is that what we want to be as a nation?
Like, I really don't want to be the country that says, hey, it's okay.
No problem.
harrison smith
Well, this, I mean, this is kind of funny to me because this is, I mean, I don't want America to be the world police.
And, you know, countries...
unidentified
Neither do I, but there's the line you have to draw.
Like, eventually you have to say, Look, this is not acceptable.
I didn't, look, the second Iraq war, I was not in favor of, even though I was part of it, right?
But the first Iraq war made a lot of sense.
We said, no, you can't do this.
You cannot invade Kuwait.
You just can't do that, right?
And that made sense at the time.
The second one did not make any sense, and like I said, I was part of it.
I was on the ship that fired the first missiles.
At the time, I didn't think it was right, and it wasn't right.
But this is different, man.
We cannot allow one country to invade another just because they feel like it.
And I just don't think it's right.
Can you make an argument for it?
harrison smith
Well, yeah.
Well, for one thing, as you point out, we invaded Iraq.
Would Russia have been justified in going to war with America?
You know, making the same arguments that you're making.
We can't just allow this other country to invade this sovereign nation of Iraq.
So we have to go to war with Russia.
I mean, it's also different because we're not in direct conflict with Russia.
We're just funding the Ukrainians to go die.
But I don't think you would say that we should have American boots on the ground.
I mean, you don't think America should declare war on Russia?
unidentified
No, I don't.
I understand where you're coming from.
No, I definitely don't.
I don't think we should put American troops on the ground, but I don't think we need to because Russia's military is a complete disaster anyway.
harrison smith
I don't think it is, though, man.
I mean, aren't they winning the war?
unidentified
No, look, I don't think they're...
Look, I talked to a bunch of right-wingers, right?
One of whom is a friend of ours, Ed Rizal, who told me that that war would be over in like two weeks.
And I said, no, there's no way in hell that that war is going to be over in two weeks.
And it wasn't.
And it's still, it's three years later.
They still can't manage to beat the most, like, the...
It's an absolute disastrous economy that exists in Ukraine.
They still can't win that war.
That's ridiculous.
It's the largest country in the world, and they can't beat Ukraine?
Are you kidding me?
harrison smith
Well, I don't think they're trying to just destroy Ukraine.
I think they...
Probably could do that if they wanted.
I mean, clearly they're not going all in with their full capabilities, right?
They haven't launched nukes.
They barely, you know, they just launched the hypersonic missiles they've had for a while, and they really haven't done that too much.
So I don't think it was ever Russia's intention to, like, destroy all of Ukraine and batter them into dust and win this.
I think they wanted to claim the eastern oblasts and, you know, solidify their control of Crimea and ensure they have access to the warm water seaport.
There in Crimea, and I think they achieved that pretty quickly and have since been sort of going back and forth.
The front line goes forward a little, then back a little, forward a little, back a little.
But they haven't lost any major ground, but they also haven't launched any major offensives that have failed.
unidentified
They're actually getting missiles fired into Moscow.
I mean, by any metric you could possibly imagine.
They're losing.
And why should that be?
This is the poorest country in Europe, and they're getting their ass kicked.
Like, this is a joke.
Like, it's silly at this point.
And the only reason that it's still going on is because we're helping them, right?
So, like, I just don't—I don't understand why people think that Russia's military is somehow this badass, like, operation.
What it is— It's a complete joke.
It's a joke.
It's a disastrous situation.
And they're probably going to lose.
Unless we completely remove our support, Russia's going to lose this thing.
harrison smith
And that shouldn't happen.
Hold on, hold on, Patty.
Hold on, hold on.
You said a lot.
I just want to respond to it.
And again, this is why I like talking to you, Patty, because I'm not looking for like a...
You know, gotcha with you.
I understand that you're on the other side, but I appreciate that we can actually, like, talk about this.
Because I don't get to talk about this with people that disagree with me very much.
So, you know, let's not get worked up because I'm not trying to, like, get one over on you.
I genuinely want to know what you think about this.
Like, obviously, those missiles that they're shooting into Russia are American made.
You know, America is funding Ukraine.
So, you know, I think it's a little disingenuous to say, like, you know, Russia is failing to take over this super poor country.
Well, they're failing to take over the super poor country with American arms, American munitions, American support, American intelligence, American operatives, you know, directing them.
So, you know, it's a proxy war.
unidentified
Right.
harrison smith
So and look, I think the way I perceive it is that, you know, Russia understands that, like, if they do things that are that are so outrageous, then America will go see.
We have the excuse we need to go after Russia and get involved in third world war.
Seems to me like Russia is like, look, we have these objectives.
We're going to try to achieve these objectives and we're going to sort of stay in a holding pattern until we can, you know, achieve peace.
But their economy is doing well.
They're aligned with Russia, with China now to a greater degree.
unidentified
They're, you know, their economy is the size of the state of New York.
Their economy is garbage.
You said earlier that they have 140 million people.
Their GDP is the size of New York State.
harrison smith
So why are we so concerned about them?
unidentified
Because they have nuclear weapons.
That's why we're concerned with them.
Their economy is trash.
You know what?
I've never been able to understand why the American right wing is so in love with this country.
Because it's silly, right?
And by the way, the American right wing is obsessed with guns.
We understand that, right?
You guys in Texas are obsessed with guns, right?
harrison smith
Obsessed.
unidentified
Well, yeah, obsessed with guns, right?
Yeah.
Well, in Russia, you can't have a gun.
You can't have a gun, okay?
If you have a criminal record, you're not allowed to have a gun in Russia.
harrison smith
Do you like that?
No, I don't like that, but I don't live in Russia.
Look, you also can't have guns in any of the European countries, so that's sort of a moot point.
I think what happens with the right wing...
It's the same thing that happened, which is why I became a Trump supporter in the first place, because I'd be hanging out with a bunch of leftists and they would be lying about Trump.
And I wasn't even a Trump supporter at the time, but they were lying.
And I'd go, y'all, this is bullcrap.
This isn't true.
And suddenly I'm defending Trump.
And then, you know, after like a couple of weeks of that.
I'm like, alright, I'm fully a Trump supporter, because I've made all the arguments, and you people are insane, you think he's all these things that he's not.
And it's the same thing that happens with Russia, where we don't have any love for Russia, but when you're lying about Russia, then we're like, alright, let's correct these lies, and then they're like, why do you support Russia?
And it's like, you just are lying about them.
unidentified
Yeah, but I didn't just lie.
It's the truth that you can't, if you have a criminal record, you cannot have a gun in Russia.
harrison smith
I believe that.
But that's the same case in Europe, too.
I don't condemn them for that.
unidentified
Which means Troy Boy, my man Troy Boy can't have a gun in Russia.
If he wants to go to Moscow, he can't have a gun.
harrison smith
Well, people charged with felonies here can't have guns either.
That's not even necessarily a restriction of rights.
That's a limitation as a punishment for committing crimes.
But no, I'm not even talking about what you're saying right now.
I'm talking about in general, like when you hear the media say, like, Putin is invading Ukraine for no reason.
And we go, well, I mean, there's not no reason.
Like, just don't just be dishonest about it.
You can say it's still bad what he's doing, but like...
Look what happened.
Look, you know, let's try to see it from his perspective.
And people go, you're a Putin apologist.
And it's like, it's this back and forth where it's like, if you just stop lying about Russia, then we won't have to defend Russia against your lies.
And then you won't be calling us Russia.
You know, it's this back and forth ratcheting up of tensions between the left and the right.
Look, and I've talked about it before.
I've seen videos.
Where they're on the Red Square or wherever in Moscow, and they're asking people, what do you think about Putin?
And this was years ago.
This was before this war ever started, right?
But they go, what do you think about Putin?
And you can see the people look at the camera, and they go, yeah, he's great.
He's great, thanks.
And they walk away.
And that's freaky to me.
Like, it's freaky to be in a country where people are like, you know, why ask me about this?
I have to say I like him.
So don't ask me.
That's weird.
I don't like that.
unidentified
The thing that bothers me most...
Is that, you know, there's a band called, I'm not going to say the name of the band because, you know, I don't want to get you, you know, knocked off.
harrison smith
The rioting band?
unidentified
Yeah, exactly.
Yes.
But, I mean, the idea that someone goes to jail for saying something really bothers me.
It, like, really bothers me.
And it should bother, like, I can't even imagine someone more than Alex who would be bothered by that.
Well, look, I mean, you have to be pissed about that.
harrison smith
I mean, you have to be.
I agree, but don't you see that also happening in England?
You know, it's like just because these people don't have free speech.
unidentified
Look, you want someone to hate England?
harrison smith
That's right, you're Irish.
unidentified
Come on, man.
Come on.
No, seriously, I really, like, I'm not, you know, yeah, yeah.
harrison smith
Yeah, no, I get it.
It's just, it's one of those things where it's like, I'm not defending, you know, Russian free speech policy.
I'm not even really certain what it is, but, you know, obviously it's not American.
But as we, you know, played earlier, I'm sure you saw the video where it's like, you know, 4,000 people in the UK versus 400 people in Russia being arrested for free speech.
So if that's the spectrum, I mean, and then you talk about like Saudi Arabia, where like, you know, you can be executed for what you say.
unidentified
I totally understand what you're saying.
I get that.
harrison smith
But if that's a justification for going to war with Russia, then it's inadequate because there's lots of places.
unidentified
I'm not justifying going to war with Russia.
I don't want to go to war with Russia.
I definitely think that's a terrible idea, and we shouldn't do it.
But I do understand the criticism of Russia and the criticism of China.
So, yeah, I get it.
I don't think we're that far off.
harrison smith
I don't think we are either.
That's why I'm kind of confused here.
And we've got other callers, so I do have to let you go.
But just to put a bow on it, I mean, what do you think Trump should do in Ukraine?
I want to see peace.
I don't care about Russia or Ukraine, to be frank with you, but I don't want to see them dying by the millions.
I want to see peace.
It seems like Trump is pushing for peace.
If you were Trump right now, what would you do in Ukraine, Patty?
unidentified
Well, I don't want to be frank with you either.
Instead, I'll be Steve.
But the point is, I think that we should have some sort of, you know, I don't know.
I don't think we can justify them invading the country and just say, hey, you get some more land.
Like, that's not going to work for me.
So there's got to be something else.
There has to be something else.
I don't know what it is.
But I know that it can't be you get Donbass and you get, you know, whatever and we're just going to move on.
harrison smith
Well, again, all I would say is they never would have gotten those if it weren't for the coup that we pulled off that caused the people in the eastern parts of Ukraine to want to separate from Ukraine.
I mean, I do think it all goes back to the American deep state at the end of the day.
And I appreciate that, you know, the impulse is like we're America.
We should be able to stand up for these little guys.
I get the image of like, The big brother standing up for the little brother who's getting confronted by a bully.
I just don't think it's accurate here.
I think that's a misconception that's been imposed through media coverage of how this whole thing came about.
And I think if you look at the...
Maybe that's...
I don't know.
I want to go to other calls.
Now I'm thinking of the analogy of America as the big brother and Ukraine as the little brother.
And it's like, yeah, maybe he's defending him from a bully.
But maybe he's the one that started the fight in the first place with the bully.
And maybe...
Well, whatever.
I don't want to get too much into it, but I do appreciate your call, Patty.
Always fun to talk to you, and I do appreciate it when people not on our side call in so we get that other perspective.
Patty from Boston, thank you so much.
unidentified
Take it easy.
harrison smith
You too.
Let's go to Sally in Canada now.
Sally in Canada, I'm sorry, we are now enemies in a trade war.
We are now on opposite sides of a trade war.
So what do you have to say?
You Canuck?
I don't know.
I need more insults for Canadians.
Thanks for calling in, Sally.
You're on the air.
unidentified
That is funny.
You've got to understand, not all Canadians are on this hate Trump, orange man badge.
harrison smith
Oh, I understand.
I follow some very good Canadians on X. We appreciate you guys.
unidentified
We're the good Canucks.
harrison smith
Absolutely.
unidentified
I'm going to switch gears to a completely different but probably more important subject, I think.
harrison smith
Okay.
unidentified
I'm a disillusioned nurse from Canada.
I woke up in 2020 and I have to say Alex Jones was very instrumental in that.
It was the first time in my life I've heard of predictive programming.
Now I'm going to take it to 2008 when the movie I Am Legend came out with Will Smith.
Okay?
Yep.
I think about 10 minutes into the movie, there was a scene where he's having a flashback as to where the whole zombie apocalypse started.
And I even think it was NBC. They illustrated, but I'm not sure.
But it was the news outlet.
And they said, oh, we have, you know, mRNA has cured cancer worldwide.
harrison smith
Really?
unidentified
Was that predictive programming or what?
Wow.
harrison smith
Okay.
unidentified
Trump waltzes Larry Ellison.
And promises, with promises of mRNA technology being a miracle cure for the cancer that they gave us.
And, you know, Revelation 9-6 says, hang on, I'm going to read it to you.
It's a very short verse.
It says, in those days, people will seek death and not find it.
They will long to die, but death will flee them.
So I don't think that the Holly Weird version of the zombie apocalypse will take place, but maybe the biblical one might.
harrison smith
Hmm.
Yeah, that's super interesting.
You know, I never actually saw that movie.
Weirdly enough, I did visit New York, and I saw them filming it at the time that they were making that movie, but I never actually saw it.
I guess we have the clip from this.
unidentified
Well, it was just a beginning clip.
Like, it was right at the beginning, and it was just a short little, how did this all begin?
harrison smith
How long is that clip, guys?
unidentified
And the newscasters are saying, oh, yeah, mRNA technology has cured cancer.
harrison smith
We'll tell you what, we'll play that clip in the first five minutes of the next hour, because we actually, we do have that clip.
It's about a minute and a half, and we're running out of time here.
So we'll play that on the other side and take a look at it.
My producer tells me they say genetic engineering, or they don't mention mRNA in specific, but...
I thought they did.
unidentified
I'm pretty sure they did in the movie.
harrison smith
We'll take a look at it here on the other side, but thanks for bringing...
Bringing our attention to that.
And yeah, predictive programming is very much a real thing.
unidentified
Everything else is a distraction.
Because if they can turn us into zombies.
Not the Hollywood version of zombies.
But if they can do that to us.
harrison smith
This is the problem with doing what we do.
It's like, well, you know, the mRNA, that could be the thing that destroys the world.
But nuclear exchange could also be the thing that destroys the world.
But also the mass immigration could eventually destroy the world.
It's like, yeah, all of these things are massively important.
It's hard to determine which is the one to focus on.
We'll show that clip on the other side and go out to more of your phone calls in the third hour of American Journal.
Stay with us, folks.
We'll be right back.
unidentified
The world of medicine has seen its share of miracle cures, from the polio vaccine to heart transplants.
But all past achievements may pale in comparison to the work of Dr. Alice Crippen.
Thank you so much for joining us this morning.
Let's do it.
So, Dr. Cribbin, give it to me in a nutshell.
Well, the premise is quite simple.
Take something designed by nature and reprogram it to make it work for the body rather than against it.
You're talking about a virus?
Indeed, yes.
In this case, the measles virus, which has been engineered at a genetic level to be helpful rather than harmful.
I find the best way to describe it is if you can imagine your body as a highway and you picture the virus as a very fast car being driven by a very bad man, imagine the damage that that car could cause.
Then if you replace that man with a cop, the picture changes and that's essentially what we've done.
How many people have you treated so far?
Well, we've had 10,009 clinical trials in humans so far.
And how many are cancer free?
10,009.
So you have actually cured cancer?
Yes, yes.
Yes, we have.
harrison smith
All right, so that's from the movie I Am Legend.
So I didn't hear them say mRNA, but they did describe exactly what mRNA does and is.
It's reprogramming the cells in that way.
And of course, it leads to the zombie apocalypse.
I mean, I can't say they didn't warn you.
This is always a distinct possibility.
It's one of those things, you know, predictive programming is one thing.
There's also just the fact that some people can speculate on the future and sometimes they're right.
Or, you know, you see the way that scientists are messing with the fundamental nature of reality.
And this coming out with bad outcomes is not difficult to understand.
Very interesting.
In fact, since she mentioned measles, I didn't know she mentioned measles there, but let's go to clip number four here.
Most of you have probably seen the first part of this, but I like the way that they added on the second part.
This is what the measles was like in 1969 versus how it's treated today.
Let's watch.
unidentified
They sent me home.
Measles!
See, their measles are a strange case of red freckles.
You have got a temperature.
They told me.
101.1.
What's the record?
Never mind.
Oh, are you sure it's the measles?
Well, he's certainly got all the symptoms.
A slight temperature, a lot of dots, and a great big smile.
A great big smile?
No school for a few days.
Say hello to my dotted son for me.
sean hannity
Tell him I'll bring him some comic books and I'll see you later, dear.
unidentified
Okay, honey.
Bye.
Boy, this is the life, isn't it?
Yeah.
If you have to get sick, you sure can't beat the measles.
That's right.
No medicine.
Inside or out.
Like shots, I mean.
Don't even mention shots.
Yeah!
Dad says I should go to school.
Seven students confirmed with measles.
Four others possible.
pam bondi
Wow, they had to have been vaccinated.
unidentified
These moms never vaccinated their kids and lied about it.
pam bondi
Vaccines are a fight.
unidentified
You are endangering the health of every child in this city.
pam bondi
Live.
unidentified
No, it's true.
All nine, one, one.
The epidemic hits home.
All new Law & Order SVU.
harrison smith
I just thought that was really good.
We've all seen that Brady Bunch clip.
He's got the measles.
Oh, lucky him, right?
Fast forward to nowadays, and it's like, he's got the measles.
Call 911. Dun-dun.
And it's just like, they're like wiping things down.
They're all in hazmat suits, like carrying little children with big clamps so they don't have to touch them.
It's like, okay, all right, let's calm down.
Again, it's not even that, it's not that it's right.
It's just like, this is, you get you're being played, right?
They're messing with you.
They're activating the fear response in your brain to overcome your logic and appeal straight to your animal subconscious and invoke the fight-or-flight method of reaction.
It's very obvious.
You don't have to fall for it.
Everything's fine.
By the way, we can get into the measles thing that they're trying to push right now.
It's very bizarre.
RFK is talking about getting the vaccine.
It turns out the first death from the measles outbreak, which of course came about because of either a leaky vaccine or immigration, you know, illegal immigrants or a combination of the both.
The person who died didn't even have measles.
They were injected with the measles vaccine and then died.
unidentified
All right, folks, I gotta go out to your calls.
harrison smith
before I do I got to show you this video that just dropped I don't even know I don't know how to set this up for you Basically, the Democrats...
I don't know.
I mean, the Democrats got caught, but it's like, were they even trying to hide it?
Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren, and Hakeem Jeffries all came out with exactly the same video.
All three of them posted today TikTok videos where they're reading exactly the same script as one another.
So it's like, I mean, I don't think they were trying to get away.
Just what are they trying to do?
What is this?
Let's go to the video here.
Again, this is from Libs of TikTok.
Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren, and Cory Booker all posted identical videos right before Trump's big speech tonight.
Let's watch.
unidentified
When I win, I will immediately bring prices down starting on day one.
That ain't true.
That's what you just heard.
Since day one of Donald Trump's presidency, prices are not down, they're up.
harrison smith
Inflation is getting worse.
unidentified
Not better.
The prices of gross gas, housing, eggs, of essentials.
It's not getting better.
harrison smith
It's getting worse.
unidentified
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has done nothing.
Instead, he's pardoned violence.
harrison smith
He's pardoned violence.
unidentified
My brain!
My brain is melting.
I have to get out of here.
I have to get out of here.
Oh, my God.
What are the three least likable people in Congress doing?
harrison smith
Why are they all yelling at the same time?
Turn it off!
unidentified
People will help our veterans get their benefits.
jordan in new jersey
People fighting them all up.
harrison smith
Oh, my God.
It just goes on and on.
unidentified
All right.
harrison smith
Yeah, we got to take it down.
We got to take it down.
Okay, let's just enjoy the silence for a second.
Well, that was a lot.
I'm sorry to do that to you people.
Oh, boy.
My brain just got scrambled.
So, yeah, apparently the three least charismatic and likable people in the Democratic Party decided to all make their own equally uncomfortable version of exactly the same video and put it out at exactly the same time.
Why?
It edited the same, with the same video in the beginning to exactly the same point, the same captions on it.
So like, are they trying to fool people?
I can't think they're that stupid.
But, you know, I think the takeaway here is...
Yeah, they're desperate.
Man, they are desperate to try to forestall some of the points Trump will make today.
And it has been very funny seeing Democrats suddenly all in unison and on a dime turn from the economy is amazing, it's the best economy literally ever.
Right, there are all these articles of Tim Kaine and who, Mark Kelly, also made these same videos.
So they have every, basically every major establishment Democrat is all making exactly the same video.
Blaming Trump for egg prices.
Even though it was the Biden administration that killed 100 million chickens that actually drove up the egg prices.
And again, there's articles.
Okay, so they added two more.
They all are saying exactly the same thing.
Holy crap.
Again, I just don't even know what's wrong with these people.
I don't even know what's wrong with Democrats.
How do you justify this?
One of them not good enough.
You couldn't just have old Chucky say this.
You needed Pocahontas and Tampon Tim to get in on the action too.
Dollar Store Obama.
And Gay Mark Kelly.
I don't have a nickname for him.
He's just gay.
He's not really gay.
It's an insult.
I'm just insulting him.
unidentified
Wow.
Wow.
harrison smith
What a pathetic display of unified stupidity.
I mean, it's just, my God.
Imagine being a Democrat right now.
Imagine being a liberal these days.
Good Lord Okay All right.
Now, we actually have a story on this.
From Reason.com, are cage-free laws to blame for high egg prices?
I know Mike from Michigan has called in about this.
Clip number eight.
There we go.
We just heard five different Democrat vampire zombies say exactly the same thing at the same time about how Trump is responsible for the rise in egg prices.
This is the left-wing BS talking point that's gone out.
Mike in Michigan, explain this to us.
unidentified
Yeah.
Thanks for taking my call.
Wow.
Eggs, eggs, eggs.
harrison smith
It's all about eggs today.
unidentified
I thought I was going to be off subject, but after that, wow.
harrison smith
Yeah, so you sent us this article from Reason.com.
Americans' current spike in egg prices has quickly become one of the central public policy issues of early 2025.
But while the emphasis is in much of the media and amongst policymakers is focused on the epidemiology patterns of the avian flu, the government itself bears much of the responsibility for our current national egg panic.
So what is your takeaway from this article, Mike?
unidentified
Well, I didn't send in the article, but my takeaway is that around when Trump was sworn into office, Governor Gretchen Whitmer...
Decided to go with this cage-free law in Michigan.
And it was just out of nowhere.
No one ever heard about it.
And right after that, first people I hear screaming about it is Chief Warren and Tlaib, you know, the squad people.
And now everybody's eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs.
And after she changed that law...
We went from like $2 and some change eggs up to $5, $6, $7, $8 eggs.
And I'm like, am I the only one that connected this dot?
This is a hoax?
harrison smith
Right.
Well, it clearly is a hoax.
I mean, like we said, they've killed 100 million chickens on the off chance that they might eventually catch bird flu.
Totally irresponsible activity there.
But I hadn't heard of this.
And yeah, sorry, I thought you said it, but apparently the crew just found the story that backs up what you were saying.
So in raw numerical terms, eggs cost 53% more today than they did this time last year.
They say it's also important to conceptualize what that means on the ground.
A family-owned cafe in Florida is reportedly spending $1,500 a week just on eggs, a three-fold increase from last year.
While chains such as...
Denny's and Waffle House have started implementing a surcharge for dishes made with eggs.
More stories on soaring egg prices have concentrated on the spread of the bird flu since 2022 and whether any president can influence the price of eggs.
Largely overlooked is the impact government regulations are having on the current price spike, namely state-based cage-free laws that ban the sale of any eggs within state boundaries that are not laid by cage-free hens.
Since 2018, California, Massachusetts and close to a dozen other states have adopted cage-free laws.
Banning caged eggs is a class example of supposedly altruistic government policy, resulting in detrimental unintended consequences.
Given that 60% of the eggs are still laid by caged hens, residents in these cage-free states are effectively cut off from two-thirds of America's egg supply.
And they mention that in Royal Oak, Michigan, a cage-free mandate state, a dozen eggs went for $6.29 this past January.
In comparison, just over the border in Toledo, Ohio, which has no such cage-free law, eggs could be found for under $4 a dozen.
So, I mean, that's interesting.
I mean, obviously, there are ways to do this that don't require banning non-cage-free eggs.
Obviously, I'm in favor of cage-free eggs.
Go out of my way to search for and purchase cage-free eggs because I think the industrial food production system in this country is sickening and inhumane to the animals there.
But there are ways to do this where you can provide subsidies to the cage-free animals or you could require some sort of, I don't know, marking or warning on products that are not cage-free.
You know, there are ways to do it where you don't just ban the majority of the eggs from your state.
You can instead sort of work your way towards cage free.
And frankly, most people will choose cage free if given the option, if they can afford it.
So, you know, this really isn't something I see that the government needing to step in and impose.
It's something that will arise naturally as we, you know, understand more about our health and the way our food is produced.
You know, the more people get informed, the more concerned they are about the source of their food.
So, you know, clearly just making a law to do this is not not effective.
So, that's very interesting.
I had not known this.
Thank you for bringing our attention to this, Mike.
unidentified
Well, my point is that when they went cage-free, it raised the price and caused shortages.
harrison smith
Right.
unidentified
That's what happened.
And then they scream about it.
harrison smith
Yeah, I mean, that's exactly what's happening.
And of course, it's like, okay, it's either the bird flu or it's this cage-free...
Bird flu, obviously not Trump's fault.
Actually more like Biden's fault.
Also probably slash almost certainly created in a lab and released on purpose.
The mass culling of entire flocks of birds was not necessary.
That was a choice made by the Biden campaign.
I remember the whole last couple of months in office for him was just a series of horrible and You know, painful decisions by the Biden administration trying to set up the worst possible situation for Trump.
And you just have to understand, like, the takeaway here.
Just understand, like, the Democrats will deliberately cause mass suffering if they think they can blame it on the opponents.
unidentified
That's exactly what I'm saying.
harrison smith
The egg hoax.
And it kind of sucks because it's like I do like cage-free.
I do deplore the way that chickens and pigs and cows are raised for slaughter in this country or for egg harvesting in this country.
So it's like taking something that ostensibly would be good, encouraging cage-free eggs would be good for the life of the chicken, therefore the health of the chicken, therefore the health of the egg, therefore the health of the people eating the egg.
Like it's, it would be a good thing for, for, you know, health in general to not have this, this sickening mechanized food system that we have.
But then they hijacked that.
unidentified
Let me ask you this.
I think farmers do, I'm not a farmer, but can farmers do cage-free eggs in the winter in the snow?
harrison smith
Well, and the word cage-free is a little bit of a misnomer too.
There's like cage-free and then there's like pasture-raised.
but then you look into it and it's like okay cage free means they have at least three inches to move like it's like they're still very much caged they're still very much inside and like not healthy conditions uh i don't know if the crew can pull up like what what exactly does cage free mean in this instance because it doesn't it doesn't mean they're out there you know running through the fields with wild horses it just means that they're not actively like clamped down in a in a freaking in a
yeah in a vice grip uh so right so even that's a little bit A little bit wonky.
So I think you can still have Caged Free and do it inside.
I do think that's possible.
But thank you for the call, Mike.
I appreciate that view.
I had not heard about that.
I appreciate that.
unidentified
Thank you.
harrison smith
Thank you.
Let's go to, I understand we have Jordan in New Jersey on line four here about the USAID funding freeze.
Go ahead, Jordan.
You're on the air.
jordan in new jersey
Hi, Harrison.
Thanks for taking my call.
Thank you.
I just wanted to...
I was on Alex Jones as a guest about a week and a half ago.
unidentified
Oh, wow.
jordan in new jersey
Regarding the judiciary, the district court-level appointments that Biden packed in during basically most of COVID, and that Trump wasn't able to get anybody in.
I practiced up at the federal court level, and we couldn't get trials because they couldn't get judges.
And then as soon as Biden came in, there was plenty of judges.
But they were just the most draconian left-wing people you could ever meet in your life.
harrison smith
Right.
jordan in new jersey
So, nonetheless, I've been tracking this fervently, and we have a problem here, and we need to keep our eye on the prize here on this one, because there's a lot of distractions.
So, several days ago, the Gateway Pundit released a very good article called, Biden Appointed Fellow Judge Who Blocked Trump's USAID Freeze Is a Far-Left Activist...
There's some other stuff in there.
It's a little bit long of a headline.
But the judge's name is Amir Ali, who was appointed by Biden during this melee, okay, where we were all stunned.
If you could look at my interview, and I discussed this whole melee that they inserted these folks.
After the appearance on Jones, I received calls from all over the country talking about some of the things that I had discussed.
And documenting some of my more theoretical and speculative aspects of it and proving a lot of what I had said had been totally true.
Now, the important thing to understand here is in the article they talk about something called the MacArthur Foundation, which is a tax-exempt foundation kind of skirting that line between NGO and tax-exempt foundation.
As we've seen, there's a whole family of these things, trees, giant architectures of these things.
And so this guy, Amir, froze the USAID freeze that Trump put on it, and I believe that it's his affiliation with MacArthur that did this, and I believe that these funds that are actually supposed to be going overseas, as we've seen, are coming back in here and funding activities in the United States to destabilize red states, specifically.
All right.
And in this instance, I have proof.
From folks that called me from South Dakota, that they're injecting money into the reservations, as well as the local municipalities and law enforcement and public entities, to basically disenfranchise and purposely go after white businesses, white-owned businesses, and empower folks who have been in the prison system from the tribal areas, right, from using the Indian tribal lands.
To go ahead and try to cause a situation where they can divest what is targeted and what they see as white-owned businesses, which have been oppressing them, to have those people arrested, maliciously prosecuted by this money that's coming in through this MacArthur Foundation system.
And I had several calls and I checked it all out based upon my interview with Alex Jones.
And so there was somebody who was seeking the impeachment of him.
Representative Andy Ogles out of Tennessee, which I think you guys have been playing some of his little TikTok videos and everything like that.
We need to be supporting this so hard right now.
It's ridiculous because the future of the country is hanging in the balance.
These Title III, excuse me, Article III judges are countermanding valid orders of the president.
And it's causing, it's a constitutional issue.
And Congress needs to act.
And people have to understand that Congress can totally dissolve what's called the inferior court system.
The only thing that reigns supreme is the Supreme Court of the United States.
Congress has the power to take to task these systems.
And if we can't get clear indications as to who is on our side and who isn't, the acts here, as opposed to the scalpel of impeachment.
Would be to get rid of this inferior court system or reconstitute it completely.
And the populace and the electorate need to know this.
They're not powerless against these...
Some people call them activists.
I call them operatives.
They're literally operatives.
Especially someone like this.
harrison smith
This guy isn't even...
Isn't he a dual citizen?
He's like Canadian or something, right?
Is this the same guy?
Amir Ali?
jordan in new jersey
Yeah, so this is very serious, and during that period where we had this melee of appointees, these people, like I said in the interview, and utilizing the whole DEI system they set up, were inserted in here purposely in order to completely destabilize our country and to oversee these...
Money laundering operations in many instances, many of which are sending money overseas and then bringing it back here to the NGOs, as we've discussed, but I have direct proof now, to undermine red states.
You know, the Springfield, Ohio situation.
You have Rapid City in South Dakota is also a target of this.
harrison smith
And a lot of people have been talking recently about the way that, I guess, Indians or immigrants...
You know, people have been saying, you know, why don't we live in an America where white people own gas stations again?
And this is one of those funny things, because growing up, it's like, it's almost cliche, I mean, it is cliche, and it's just like assumed, it's just like, well, every gas station is owned by a Middle Easterner or a Pakistani person or an Indian person, like every single one.
And it's funny, I was watching an old clip of, it was Jay Leno, like right before he got The Tonight Show, so it must have been the late 80s.
And he's doing his thing.
He's going, you see these Indians owning gas stations?
You see that?
I walk in.
There's an Indian guy behind the counter.
He's making jokes about this new phenomenon of Indian people owning gas stations?
What?
And it's like, okay, it wasn't that long ago.
It was the beginning of my life that this didn't happen.
And then just by systematically disadvantaging white Americans and empowering immigrants.
We just don't own gas stations in our own country anymore, and we've just paid for this entire class of foreign people to come over and receive.
And basically what it is, is they get $200,000 to $300,000 from the government towards their loan.
So they just immediately can outbid any white person that isn't getting a quarter million dollars from the government for buying this thing.
So yeah, when you talk about...
The fact that these government programs are used to disadvantage white business owners, it's a very direct thing, and it's happening in a variety of different ways.
This is an interesting article from Gateway Pundit.
Biden-appointed federal judge who blocked Trump USAID freeze as far-left activist and Biden donor who pushed defund the police and dropped BLM charges previously accused Trump of hatred towards Muslim people.
And he is, of course, a dual citizen.
He's not even fully American.
He's half-Canadian, I guess.
Amir.
And they mention in this that he was the former executive director of the leftist MacArthur Justice Center, a top donor to Democrats, including Joe Biden, whom he gave thousands of dollars during his 2020 bid against Trump and former DNC chair Jamie Harrison in a bid for South Carolina's U.S. Senate race.
So, you know, somebody else said it's like there's 700 judges in this system, which is like twice as many as there are congressmen, basically, not quite, but about that much.
Just imagine there's basically 700 AOCs out there that can unilaterally, single-handedly undo things that the president does.
This whole system is not supposed to operate this way, especially not supposed to operate this way with people like this who are using their position to progress their clearly and well-advertised leftist ideology and leftist bent.
So whether it's, you know, the judges that were going after Trump, whose daughter is tied in with all the elected officials, it's like corruption of judges in this country is a major issue.
Impeachment certainly should be on the table.
Eradication of the whole system, I think, should also be considered, as we've also seen Naya Bukele point to this and say this was the big barrier to correcting course in El Salvador, right?
His miraculous...
Restoration of El Salvador from the country with the highest murder rate to the country with the lowest murder rate.
He says that would not have been possible with the judges that we had.
They were all corrupt.
They would all stop us from doing anything.
We had to remove the corrupt judges, put good judges in, and then we were able to clean up the streets.
That's the tack I think Trump needs to take.
And Nia Bukele can show you the road.
We got more stories.
I got like three stories delivered to me in just the last five minutes.
I'm going to go to those on the other side of this commercial break for our final segment.
Remember to go to the Alex Jones store.

Shilajit Complex, now available at thealexjohnstore.com slash Harrison.
Stay with us.
We'll go out to your phone calls here momentarily for the final segment of the American Journal.
I do have some breaking news here, as well as a comment I want to make about what we're all doing here.
I went off on a little bit of a rant yesterday about people that are impossible.
It's impossible for them to achieve victory because they've decided that anybody winning must be bad.
So therefore, you're only good if you're Just, I don't know, screaming in the wilderness.
And I want to try to confront that idea in another way, in a new form.
But here's the breaking news.
Well, let's start with this.
Iran says that Putin is going to help Trump broker nuclear talks with Tehran.
Russia has agreed to assist the Trump administration in communicating with Iran on issues including its nuclear program and support for regional anti-U.S. proxies.
The U.S. and Russia have discussed the matter with Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, sharing details with his Iranian counterpart Abbas Aragji.
And Iran's response has been noncommittal.
The US and Iran are seeking channels of communication with the US offering sanctions relief and Iran agreeing to contain its regional ambitions despite public postures and opposition from hardliners in Iran.
Again, we've talked about this quite a few times on this show, but essentially Iran was ready to talk in terms of nuclear weapon development when America...
And Israel sort of changed the topic of our talks to say, actually, we want you to completely dismantle your ballistic missiles program, which is an absurd demand.
It's really a crazy and impossible ask of them, considering the fact that it's like a big chunk of their GDP that they produce these missiles.
They have entire cities underground having to do these missiles.
It is the actual like supreme defensive aspect of Iran is these ballistic missiles.
They were never going to give these up.
And in a way, it was sort of pulling the rug out from under Iran since they'd been not getting super involved with the Israeli conflict on the assumption that once Trump was in office, they'd be able to make concessions with their nuclear program in exchange for more of a free hand in the surrounding region.
Only to be told, actually, you've got to give up your ballistic missiles.
And so since then, the supreme leader of Iran has basically said, anybody who talks to the Americans is going to be arrested and punished.
So you cannot discuss these things with the American ambassadors or anything.
So now it looks like they're trying to find a workaround of that by going through Russia.
Dmitry Peskov said in response to a question sent by Bloomberg that Russia believes the United States and Iran should resolve all problems through negotiations and that Moscow is ready to do everything in its power to achieve this.
So this is interesting.
This is just an interesting development here.
And I wonder what influence the Middle East conflict is going to have on the Russian-Ukraine conflict and how these two things will affect one another.
So that's very, very interesting.
Since taking office about six weeks ago, Trump has tried to restore relations with President Vladimir Putin, which the U.S. severed after Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
As Trump seeks to broker an end to that war directly with Putin, including a February 12th phone call between the two leaders, both sides have signal they're open to cooperating on other geopolitical interests, including trade routes and resources in the Arctic.
So that's very interesting.
We'll have to see how this goes from there.
But obviously, just like Ukraine, I would like to see negotiations take precedent in the Middle East rather than, you know, genocide.
Meanwhile, the White House is sort of...
Yeah, they're still not very happy with Zelensky.
Which one of these should I read?
I guess we'll read this one first from Axios.
Zelensky expresses regret for Oval Office spat with Trump.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday expressed regret for his Oval Office spat with President Trump last week and said he's ready to sign a U.S. minerals deal anytime and in any convenient format.
unidentified
Huh.
harrison smith
So what was behind the spat?
Seems to me like he met with the Democrats beforehand who told him don't take the deal.
He didn't take the deal or messed up the deal and You know, went off the rails with that and during that conversation, J.D. Vance and Trump.
He was told the deal was being canceled.
He thought, that's fine.
I'll go to Europe.
They'll help me out.
I think maybe the reality hit him about how incompetent Europe is to provide any help at all.
And it took him a few days to realize, okay, I actually do need you.
I actually do need to have America's support after all.
Shoot.
I guess I better apologize and say I regret it.
You understand there's nothing like legitimate about this.
It's not like, yeah, you know, I made a mistake.
I let my emotions get too much of me and then, you know, now I need to walk it back.
This is just purely strictly like cynical material advantage that he's seeking.
And he's just like, well, we tried to, I tried to use, you know, what happened in...
Washington, to my benefit, to get all of these Europeans to pledge things to me, but it turns out they only have 25 tanks between them.
One aircraft carrier.
You know Europe has one aircraft carrier?
The continent of Europe.
One aircraft carrier.
Maybe that had to do with Zelensky saying, ah, shoot, maybe I need to pretend that I feel sorry about what happened in the Oval Office.
He doesn't.
And maybe that's why the White House is not letting him off so easy.
White House wants a recorded apology from Zelensky, who said he wants to make things right.
Trump wants an explicit public apology from Zelensky.
That's according to Fox White House correspondent Peter Doocy, who described the following on Monday.
Quote, nothing is going to happen with this minerals deal until Zelensky goes in front of cameras and makes an explicit public apology for the way he behaved in the Oval Office with that meeting, Doozy said in a live broadcast from the White House lawn.
President Zelensky on Tuesday is reiterating he's ready to sign the minerals deal with the U.S. This is because in the wake of the disastrous Zelensky visit, there's now quite a disconnect happening here at the White House with their allies in Kiev.
As for the requirement of a recorded apology by Zelensky to make amends, Ducey said he was specifically told by a senior official in the Trump administration President Zelensky himself had this weekend said he still hopes for a constructive dialogue with Washington and has expressed willingness to still sign the agreement.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio Had just hours after Zelensky left the White House Friday advised the Ukrainian leader to apologize, quote, for wasting our time and, quote, for turning this thing into the fiasco for him that it became.
Zelensky has still not done so.
There are regret statements issued from his office Tuesday saying, ah, this meeting was regrettable.
We want to make things right.
And they say, okay, then we need to understand that you fully recognize.
And regret your actions.
And you know, this is, it's sad that this has to be the state of international diplomacy, but I guess it is.
I guess it is, because it's looking a lot like how I deal with my four-year-old son.
Because you can get an apology out of anybody, right?
Hey, apologize to your sister.
Sorry.
Okay, no.
No, that's not enough.
You have to say what you did wrong.
You have to say you're sorry for hitting her.
You have to acknowledge that you hurt her.
You have to make it real, okay, Zelensky?
You can't just say, oh, well, we regretted, you know, whatever.
Let's sign the deal now.
No, no, no, no.
No, explain what went wrong.
Explain why you're sorry.
Okay?
Explain that you were rude and you were condescending and you acted like...
We have to do anything for you.
Apologize for your selfish, puffed-up stupidity in front of the world.
And if you can do that, then your country can be saved.
Ukraine now sits in the balance whether normal, friendly relationships can be achieved or whether Zelensky's pride and ego will kill them all.
So, I said as soon as this happened, this was practically like the Trump administration's engaged in a form of regime change.
Just instead of spending a trillion dollars and destroying a country like Iraq, we're just putting Zelensky in front of a camera and saying basically we're not going to work with this dude anymore.
You've got to send us somebody who is capable of humility and thankfulness.
So Zelensky's trying to maintain his position at the top of this country.
I mean, honestly, Ukraine's so corrupt, and if the people care about Ukraine at all, then Zelensky might be ousted or assassinated within a couple weeks.
Because that is what, I mean, literally, Trump's like, hey, this Zelensky scumbag, this guy who campaigned for my opponent, who...
Participated in the first impeachment.
Who knew all about all the corruption with the Bidens.
Who put the guy who revealed it in prison for 15 months and counting.
The former MP who revealed the Biden corruption in Ukraine that Zelensky helped to facilitate and then cover up.
Yeah, this little weasel scumbag demon creature.
We're not going to work with him anymore.
So either Ukraine can be destroyed and just taken fully into Russia and they can just annex Ukraine.
Because we're not going to defend them.
Or you can oust this guy.
This Zelensky guy.
So I guess that's up to them now.
I guess that's up to them to determine whether they want their country to exist or whether they want to indulge in the puffed up self-importance of this dumbass little comedian puppet scum creature.
I don't have enough words to describe Zelensky that I can say on the radio.
Let's go out to your phone calls.
Let's go to Andrew in New Jersey.
I want to talk about Biden and his cognitive issues.
Go ahead, Andrew.
You're on the air.
andrew in new jersey
Also, speaking of Biden and the cage-free aid, Trump would say, who built the cages, Joe?
Who built the cages?
You and Obama built the cages.
And the blow-up with Zelensky, I got a comment.
What I would have told him if I was Trump, I would say, you don't get any funding.
We want all the money back, all the weapons.
And even the sheets that Obama gave you.
Give us the sheets back.
You don't even get the sheets back.
But I did say, like, I just want to say it's obvious with Biden that he had issues.
But it was, I wanted to comment with Patty more because it was good how you guys had the dialogue.
But he was wrong, like you pointed out, where Russia, the army's not weak.
It's not trying to annihilate the whole country of the Ukraine.
It's trying to take Crimea-specific areas back.
And the Ukraine army is not necessarily strong.
It's because, like Trump said, we fund them and we give them weapons.
And that was so great when you pointed out to Patty that he was against the second Iraq invasion, so then should have Russia attacked us?
You know, in Iraq for invading and supporting the Ukraine, what people don't understand is that...
Either way, we're supporting them.
We've given them so much money and weapons that billions and billions and billions of dollars, that is massive support.
Even if we cut the support, we've given them so much.
So it's like if you needed help or you helped out your relatives with their mortgage, if you give them a million dollars, that's enough to pay their bills and their mortgage.
So we've given them tons of stuff.
And he really, though, jumped the shark with it's kind of like Israel, too.
We want them to stand on their own, like Vivek said.
So EU, by not helping them more, it actually is helping them because that makes the European countries pay the greed upon amount to NATO.
And it makes them, like you said, they only have one aircraft carrier in all of Europe.
That makes them build their military up to the proper amount.
harrison smith
Which they should be doing.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
And, uh, No, you're exactly right.
And yeah, that really is how I see it.
Why I have such, like, ire for Zelensky.
It is like, you know, you've given a family member a million dollars.
They just, like, waste it all, have nothing, and then, you know, come back to you and are like, I need more now.
It's like, what?
What have you done?
Have you even thanked me for the million dollars I gave you?
And they're just like, but I need more immediately.
You think a million dollars was enough?
It wasn't.
And it's just like, who do you think you are?
You don't deserve a penny.
And the fact that instead of being grateful and thankful about this, you're demanding more and then saying we're the bad guys for wanting some conditions on it.
No, no, no, no.
And by the way, I mean, half the money's been stolen and sold.
Thank you for the call, Andrew.
I do have somebody else.
It's funny, every time Patty calls in, we always get reactions to him, which is one of the reasons I like having him on.
So obviously, we just heard a response, but here's something somebody else sent me on Xed.
Enya Figanya.
For the dude who called on the air, criticized Russia and cited Pussy Riot as an example, they were arrested for speaking in the same way that Al Capone was arrested for tax evasion.
We all know who was the sponsor of those disgusting satanic dances in the church and other crimes of this group paid for by the globalists.
You can't do that here.
There's no need to tease the bears, right?
Poke the bear.
And yeah, of course, you know, I mean, look at what we've done to the countries around Russia and to Russia itself.
I mean, This is what USAID and George Soros and all the NGOs and the Open Society Project, it's like you infiltrate these countries on the basis of like, but we just love everybody.
We just think LGBT people should be able to love who they want, when in reality what you're doing is seeding the seeds of total destruction of those countries, causing strife culturally that wasn't there before.
You know, using it to then weaponize it internationally and say, look how bad these guys are.
They won't even let Pussy Riot take their clothes off in church.
Oh, dear.
And this is all a giant scam.
It's why Russia has banned all of George Soros' programs, because that's the type of stuff that they would sponsor.
And it has absolutely nothing to do with helping poor, oppressed people in Russia.
Russia, it has to do with demonizing Russia and the minds of the international community to justify intervention and regime change there so that it can be folded neatly into the globalist one world government combine that it's now resisting under Putin.
So I think this person's right about that in general.
Now, I do want to get to more phone calls, but I also want to talk about this bizarre thing.
This bizarre thing that's happened with old RFK Jr. And look, you know, I'm going to reserve a little bit of anger or fury or outrage at this.
I'm going to trust that he's just sort of playing the game because, you know, you saw him during the approval hearings where they'd say, are you anti-vax?
And he'd say, look, I'm not anti-vax.
I'm not about to come in and just like stop vaccines from everything.
So, you know, I think they're trying to like, I don't know.
Get him to go along a little bit with their programs.
He puts out a statement saying the MMR vaccine is necessary and everybody should get vaccinated for months.
That's not a statement he should be making or I would expect him to be making.
Maybe he's playing the game and saying what he's supposed to, but it's out of character and it's bizarre and it's making people question things.
Here's the story, by the way, from the...
Daily Beast, not Maha, anti-vaxxers rage at RFK Jr. over flip-flop.
Many in the anti-vax community turned on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Monday after President Donald Trump's health secretary pinned a column endorsing the vaccination of children against measles.
At least one conservative influencer, Linda Catalina, asserted Kennedy was no different than former Joe Biden health advisor Anthony Fauci or anybody else from the old regime.
Quote, RFK Jr. is already proving to be a fraud, Catalina wrote to her 35,000 ex-followers, including a screenshot of Kennedy's column that was published by Fox News Digital with the headline, Measles outbreak is called to action for all of us.
It comes as Tom Corey, who served as assistant secretary of public affairs at Health and Human Services, announced Friday that he was resigning.
And look, I'm not about to say, you know, JFK is a total fraud and RFK Jr. is a total fraud and, you know.
He suddenly flipped.
It is concerning that he would say this.
He's trying to sort of, I guess, deal with this measles outbreak, but the measles outbreak itself, there's a lot of speculation about it.
It's not certain, and it's pretty much guaranteed that it's not the cause of, it's not the result of anti-vaxxers refusing to vaccinate.
It is the result of illegal immigration and supposedly the death, the first death that's occurred that's being ascribed to measles.
This is just, they're straight up running the COVID playbook where you have A kid die from something unrelated, but they vaccinated him for measles, and so therefore, you know, they count it as a measles death.
So that's all very concerning.
Yeah, by the way, Sean just delivered this to me, and it's even more than this.
So we showed you the video of the three least attractive and charismatic senators or congressmen in the Democratic Party all saying exactly the same message.
It's bigger than that.
Senators Richard Blumenthal, Andy Kim, Chris Coons, Angela Also-Brooks, Maisie Harino, Mark Warner, and Tammy Baldwin joined the list of dim senators who all released the same message at the same time.
It just keeps growing.
And in fact, I just saw a post showing 22 different people all did this at exactly the same time.
So apparently, like, every Western lensman has the...
Has the post.
So far, there are a total of 22 Democratic senators who have all released identical, cringe, blank-that-ain't-true video.
Democrats are convinced that messaging and not policy is their problem.
This is apparently their attempt to address that.
Okay, that's a very interesting interpretation.
I think that makes a lot of sense, right?
They look at their numbers.
They go, gee, everybody hates us.
Gee, everybody really doesn't like us anymore, and we're slipping in every demographic, and people are sitting there going, who's the most masculine Democrat?
And there's literally no answer.
Like, nobody has an answer.
Nobody has an answer.
Like, maybe John Fetterman because he looks like an ogre, but other than that, what do you got?
What do you got for the masculine side of things, Democrats?
Absolutely nothing.
And so the lesson they've learned from that is, like, we need to...
It's like Kamala Harris.
It's like when Kamala Harris learned you have an authenticity problem.
And their answer is like, well, then how do we fake authenticity even harder?
Then what do we have to do to really make it look and seem like we're authentic?
And it's like, what do you not understand?
It's not that you don't have enough senators saying exactly the same thing in TikTok videos.
It's that your policies are horrible.
Horrible.
Horrifying.
Horrible.
You're a bunch of whores.
It's all horrible.
It's all horror, straight horror, straight from the whores.
It's not going to work, folks.
Democrats, it ain't going to work.
You can't just say the same stupid message 22 different times in exactly the same way and think that that's compelling.
So I think that's an appropriate response from Western Linsman.
Democrats are convinced that messaging is their problem, not policy.
And so they're trying to address that.
Now, finally, I want to just go back to Senator Kennedy here.
Because I just saw all of a sudden yesterday a whole bunch of posts that were like, kind of like what we just saw from the Democrats, like copy-pasted, fake, artificial talking points from a bunch of different people about anti-Semitism.
I was like, is there some thing that happened?
Are we about to, you know, is Israel about to bomb Iran so they're like preempting that going, hey, everybody talk about anti-Semitism for a little bit.
Let's, you know, water that garden while we can.
Senator Kennedy came out saying anti-Semitism, like racism, is a spiritual and moral malady that sicken society and kills people with lethalities comparable to history's most deadly plagues.
jordan in new jersey
Pfft.
harrison smith
Okay.
That's an insane thing to say.
So here's the health and human services guy going, anti-Semitism is a health crisis.
It's more deadly than cancer.
It's like, no, it's not.
What the hell are you talking about?
It's actually part and parcel.
It is a core value of America to be able to criticize any religion.
Not sure if you know this.
Or any person or any group of people.
That's incumbent of being an American.
It's a key component of the First Amendment.
The freedom of religion means the freedom to criticize religion.
So this is a horrifyingly anti-American, anti-First Amendment statement.
And so, of course, I responded to this, blink twice if you need help, because that's exactly what it sounds like.
It sounds like a hostage situation.
And I figured out what actually is happening is the ADL is having their big yearly summit right now.
March 3rd and 4th is the ADL's Now Is Never event in New York City, where they're getting everybody to...
So basically, this is like the pimp showing up and demanding his...
Hookers pay up.
That's what's happening here.
So the ADL rolled into town and was like, it's been a little while since you condemned anti-Semitism.
Why don't you pull up X? I got a copy-paste for you.
So that's what's happening.
It's the ADL sort of coordinating all of this in a really sort of mercenary way.
But I responded, you know, blink twice if you need help.
And of course, I got a response to this.
From somebody, Adam Green, I don't see his response here.
Maybe he got removed.
But, you know, somebody responded to this going, this is exactly what you voted for.
You knew this was coming.
And my response to that was like, yeah, I got to give a hug to Stuart Rhodes yesterday, my friend who was supposed to be in prison for 18 years.
That's what I voted for.
You think RFK Jr. making some stupid statement about anti-Semitism means we were wrong to vote for Trump?
We're having real-world major victories that actually affect reality.
I don't care what they say about anti-semitism.
