Now look, I get that a lot of people aren't sure that we're serious about this. | |
I know that we don't exactly have the strongest reputation on privacy right now, to put it lightly. | ||
Sarah Wynne Williams, a former Meta insider turned whistleblower, has accused Meta of aiding China's AI dominance by supplying its llama model built for $6 million to advance Beijing's military ambitions. | ||
She claims Mark Zuckerberg's $1.3 trillion empire lied to Congress, betrayed U.S. security, and earned $18 billion in China while cozying up to Trump to deflect scrutiny. | ||

|
My name is Sarah Wynne-Williams, and I served as the Director of Global Public Policy at Facebook, NowMeta, for nearly seven years, starting in 2011. | |
Throughout those seven years, I saw Meta executives repeatedly undermine U.S. national security and betray American values. | ||
They did these things in secret to win favor with Beijing and build an $18 billion business in China. | ||
Meta is bracing for a critical antitrust battle with the U.S. government, which could dismantle Zuckerberg's empire by forcing a divestiture of Instagram, generating $32 billion in U.S. ad revenue in 2024, nearly half of Meta's total. | ||
The FTC, led by Lina Khan, alleges Meta violated the Sherman Act by acquiring Instagram, WhatsApp, Anavo, and iGroove to crush competition and dominate online. | ||
advertising using Onavo's surveillance to neutralize threats like Snapchat. | ||
Companies like Facebook, Meta have enormous structural power that markets | ||
This is a textbook example of what happens when a monopoly that has... | ||
political agenda, in this case a very hard edged political agenda for years, when they use that monopoly in order to try to control other competitors and also to try to control the information that flows to the American population. | ||
people. Do I have that right, do you think? | ||

|
Yes, and the political system itself, which had previously been so supportive of him and the work that he did to silence again, not just in the political, in the election sphere, but those journalistic voices that were countering his | |
Trump-hating Judge James Bosberg has not signaled support for the FTC's case, despite Zuckerberg's alleged 2008 email favoring buying over competing. | ||
In 2022, as Facebook's popularity waned, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg floated a bold idea to boost Was your data included in the data sold to the malicious third parties? | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. It was. | |
Are you willing to change your business model in the interest of protecting individual privacy? | ||
Congresswoman, I'm not sure what that means. | ||
Meta's acquisitions projected to drive Instagram past 50% of its ad revenue by 2025. | ||
Fuel claims its stifled competition. | ||
Meanwhile, Wynne Williams' revelations cast Meta as a traitor in the AI arms race. | ||
unidentified
|
We are engaged in a high-stakes AI arms race against China. | |
And during my time at Meta... | ||
Company executives lied about what they were doing with the Chinese Communist Party to employees, shareholders, Congress, and the American public. | ||
I sit before this committee today to set the record straight about these illegal and dangerous activities. | ||
Meta's dishonesty started with the betrayal of core American values. | ||
Mark Zuckerberg pledged himself a free speech champion. | ||
Yet I witnessed Meta work hand in glove with the Chinese Communist Party to construct and test custom-built censorship tools that silenced and censored their critics. | ||
When Beijing demanded that Facebook delete the account of a prominent Chinese dissident living on American soil, they did it. | ||
And then lied to Congress when asked about the incident in a Senate hearing. | ||
Zuckerberg prioritized global power over U.S. interest. | ||
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
Welcome to the American Journal. | ||
I'm your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
For this Thursday, April 17th, 2025, a live broadcast coming to you from the InfoWars satellite studio here in Austin, Texas. | ||
Yeah, we're still... | ||
Hey, things get mixed up a little bit when you're transferring around all of the assets. | ||
Required to do a show. | ||
We have a lot to talk about today and I'm very excited. | ||
I'm very excited to talk about all of it. | ||
There's been some crazy information that's come out over the last 24 hours about the way in which certain members of the Trump administration have tried to get us into war with Iran and how we dodged that bullet thanks to Donald bullet dodging Trump. | ||
I didn't mean to make that pun, but it works incredibly perfectly. | ||
So we're going to talk about that, talk about some of the strife and division inside the Trump administration. | ||
Basically, you had Pete Hegseth's assistants, apparently, stop the initiation of an attack against Iran, which likely would have been the full-fledged start of World War III. | ||
Those assistants have now been accused of being leakers to the press and forcibly removed from the offices. | ||
So I'm a little bit suspicious about that. | ||
It turns out it's one of those biases you can have that actually makes you kind of like a fortune teller, like able to know things you're not supposed to know. | ||
In other words... | ||
There was a story about three days ago that was like leaker discovered. | ||
Defense Department leaker escorted out of the building. | ||
He'd been leaking things to the press. | ||
And at first you think like, haha, got him. | ||
Got him. | ||
This was a leaker. | ||
He's an anti-Trump guy. | ||
He was leaking to the anti-Trump press. | ||
Good riddance. | ||
And then you click on the guy and you're like, wait. | ||
He's like kind of anti-Israel. | ||
He's like kind of anti-war. | ||
He's made statements about... | ||
About Israel and about America's support of them. | ||
And suddenly go, maybe it wasn't really the leaker at all, actually. | ||
Actually, now that I read that, I wonder if that doesn't have some impact on the fact that he was escorted out of the building. | ||
I wonder if that claim of him being a leaker wasn't fabricated. | ||
It turns out that seems to have been exactly what happened. | ||
So again, we'll get into that a little bit later. | ||
Sometimes you can have a bias or a predilection, a just understanding of the way things work. | ||
They go, yeah, if he's anti-Israel and he's being publicly ousted from the executive branch, the claim for which he's being ousted, probably not real. | ||
It's probably fake. | ||
He's probably being Richard Nixon. | ||
We'll get into that. | ||
We'll get into all of that. | ||
The narrowly avoiding of World War III, the continuing negotiations with Russia. | ||
By the way, maybe the crew can find this story. | ||
Somebody posted a headline yesterday that was like, Russia announces Soviet-era space weapons have now been armed with nukes. | ||
I'm just like, what? | ||
But I can't find any information about this. | ||
Can't find any headlines about it. | ||
I can't find it. | ||
What I can find is a bunch of... | ||
Stories from a year ago, from like February 2024, where it's like, Russia promises no spaces in nukes. | ||
Yeah, May 24, that's the one I'm talking about. | ||
DoD official confirms Russia is developing indiscriminate space nuke. | ||
And indiscriminate space nuke, that's a good, that could be a Twitter handle. | ||
Yeah, so everything I could find was stories from like, yeah, last year of Russia being like, what, us space nukes? | ||
Never. No, we would never. | ||
We would never use our military capability to have a checkmate weapon for which there is no defense, far be it from us. | ||
So I don't know. | ||
I don't know if that's true or not, but things are apparently heating up with Russia as well. | ||
We'll get into all of that and just... | ||
So much more. | ||
My goodness, we got a report from Savannah Hernandez about people released on bail or having lowered bail or released on bond, then going on to murder people in the hundreds of hundreds of innocent victims that have had their lives ruined because of lenient George Soros-sponsored prosecutors and judges. | ||
We're going to talk about Harvard and the attack on America's once-venerated institution. | ||
RFK Jr. yesterday gave a very disturbing speech about the rise in autism rates. | ||
That's getting some completely incoherent pushback from the left. | ||
And it's one of these things. | ||
It's funny. | ||
You can get left. | ||
Anyway, we'll get into it. | ||
We'll get into it. | ||
But basically, RFK during his speech is like, these people, you know, autism, when it's really bad, these people never have a job, they'll never be able to contribute to society, they'll certainly never pay taxes. | ||
You know, people with autism, if it's extreme, I mean, it's a life-ruining condition to have in a lot of cases. | ||
And then you have a bunch of lefties on X going, actually, my son has autism and he pays taxes and has a job. | ||
It's like, okay, so is autism good? | ||
I mean, what are you talking about? | ||
So we shouldn't care about autism? | ||
So because your son has a form of autism that either is manageable or, you know, just less severe than others, therefore those others don't exist? | ||
Like, what is your argument exactly? | ||
And all I can figure out is they apparently are in favor of autism now because Trump's against it. | ||
I think that's as far as their reasoning goes. | ||
Trump and RFK Jr. are concerned about autism, so therefore autism must be good. | ||
Maybe this will be the next thing they'll champion. | ||
Maybe they can make their children autistic on purpose. | ||
Maybe once we figure out the cause of autism, they can inject themselves with mercury while they're pregnant and deliberately have autistic children, except they won't because it's a debilitating and very difficult condition. | ||
A tragedy that it's spread so much, but they're not going to help try to identify, let alone fix the problem, because this to them is a political football that they're in favor of autism. | ||
That's all I can say. | ||
So Trump could cure cancer. | ||
They'd literally be in favor of cancer. | ||
That is the superlative, hyperbolic stance that we now find ourselves literally in. | ||
I feel for people with autism. | ||
But it is extremely difficult, and it's extremely difficult on the family as well. | ||
And I remember early on in American Journal, we had a guest that was talking, and I wish I could remember who it was, but we had a guest who was talking about autism. | ||
And he was talking about how, you know, it's not just a person with autism that will find, you know, their lives made more difficult by the condition. | ||
It's the family's as well. | ||
So, like, you know, if you have a person that requires... | ||
Supervision by a caretaker 24-7. | ||
You're not able to go protest the government. | ||
You're not able to go stand out. | ||
You're struggling just to make it day-to-day, which means you're not really a threat to any order. | ||
If they can sort of bog you down with sickness and illness and mental health crises and... | ||
Poverty and the more difficult they can make your life, the less likely you are to have the free time and resources available to actually make a difference to wider society. | ||
So it's all very convenient for the worst people in the world who hate humanity to inflict us with this sort of stuff. | ||
But for those of us who want people born unencumbered by disease or malformation or anything like that. | ||
I think we should be doing everything we can to identify and eradicate the cause of these very, very difficult health conditions. | ||
Now, let's get into it like we do every day with your daily dispatch. | ||
All right, here it is, folks, your Daily Dispatch for Thursday, the 17th of April, 2024. | ||
Trump blasts Fed Chair Powell saying his termination cannot come fast enough. | ||
This is from CNN. | ||
President Donald Trump on Thursday ratcheted up his criticism of Federal Reserve Chair Jeremy Powell, calling for his termination for not cutting interest rates quickly enough. | ||
His comments come one day after the central bank chief delivered a stark warning about the effect of Trump's sweeping tariffs on the economy. | ||
Early Thursday morning, Trump lashed out at the Fed leader in a social media post, saying the U.S. central bank is lagging behind its European counterpart. | ||
The European central bank later Thursday morning announced its cutting interest for the seventh time in the past year. | ||
Too late and wrong. | ||
Yesterday issued a report, which was another and typical complete mess, Trump wrote. | ||
Powell's termination cannot come fast enough. | ||
Well, you know, you don't have to fire Powell if you eliminate the Fed. | ||
I have a solution to this problem. | ||
I got the idea from my friend Ron Paul. | ||
It's in the Fed. | ||
By the way, if the crew can grab the video, I post. | ||
I posted a video of Alex Jones on my ex. | ||
I just retweeted. | ||
It was the latest retweet I did of Alex Jones because he breaks down just very quickly and rapidly the economic warfare, specifically how it has to do with China and how Trump really is upending the entire global system. | ||
And it's really incredible stuff. | ||
So if the crew can grab that video, I would like to go to that. | ||
It's a short one. | ||
Free Mellow. | ||
Carmelo's Anthony's friends' family sell merch in support of Austin Metcalfe's admitted killer. | ||
Friends and relatives of the 17-year-old Carmelo Anthony, the Texas high school student accused of fatally stabbing another teen, are promoting t-shirts with his face on them with slogans like, quote, Free Mellow and hashtag Justice for Carmelo Anthony. | ||
Well, do they know what justice means? | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
Justice for Carmelo Anthony should come with a picture of a rope in a tree. | ||
That's what justice for Carmelo Anthony would actually be. | ||
Have they read their Plato? | ||
Have they read their Socrates yet? | ||
Do they even know what justice means? | ||
Justice for Carmelo Anthony would be a knife in his heart. | ||
So yeah, hashtag justice for Anthony. | ||
I'm for it. | ||
No, they're monetizing murder. | ||
Crazy, but that's what's happening. | ||
And a couple things about this. | ||
We spent the whole show on this yesterday, so I'm not going to get that much into it. | ||
But somebody, Michael Patrick Hansen, I think his name is, commented on one of my posts on X saying, I watched your show yesterday, I agree with everything you say, except the give-s-and-go thing. | ||
He said, I like the give-s-and-go is consistent and just doesn't judge. | ||
A fundraiser for Kyle Rittenhouse's legal defense. | ||
Carmelo Anthony gets to do it too. | ||
And my instinct is to agree with that. | ||
My instinct and my deep-seated devotion to fairness and genuine equality and consistency in my beliefs. | ||
My instinct is to support that idea, but I know how these things go. | ||
See, I'm telling you, again, it's like... | ||
Some people, they're too good. | ||
They're too pure of heart, I think. | ||
And you think like, hey, we enjoyed this privilege. | ||
Shouldn't everybody? | ||
And it's like, oh, you poor sweet summer child. | ||
No. No, absolutely not. | ||
You do not open up that type of vulnerability to unscrupulous, devious, deceitful, greedy little goblins. | ||
No, you don't do that. | ||
Don't do that. | ||
That's a bad idea. | ||
Abilities for people to do things like this, this is for a responsible and upstanding group of citizens to utilize, and absent that, you get chaos. | ||
And of course, later that day, a new GoFundMe has now been launched for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the deported MS-13 gang member. | ||
Because if you can have a legal defense fund that is strictly dedicated to paying lawyers, if you can have a legit Defense fund, I'm all for that. | ||
But if you don't have guardrails, you don't have controls, you don't have a way to guarantee that that's the way the money is being spent, then you're going to create crowdfunded crime. | ||
That's what you're going to end up with, crowdfunded crime. | ||
And wasn't there like a Black Mirror episode about this at one point? | ||
There's some form of media that depicts this where it's like people could post bounties online. | ||
And you have, like, people anonymously pledge, you know, Bitcoin or something like that. | ||
And so you just have a website that was like, hey, if you kill this person and can prove you did it, then we'll release this account to you and you'll get a million dollars. | ||
So you can actually crowdfund assassinations. | ||
That's basically where we're headed when you have the support of people like Luigi Mangione or Carmelo Anthony. | ||
Like, there's just a portion of our society right now that's just... | ||
They're just pro-murder, okay? | ||
They're pro-murder and they're literally giving money to a murderer because he murdered somebody. | ||
They don't think he's innocent. | ||
They don't think it was self-defense. | ||
They're not under any delusions like that. | ||
They just like that he murdered somebody and want to reward him for that. | ||
You get enough people donating 10, 20, 100 bucks. | ||
Suddenly people are being made millionaires because they stabbed an innocent person in the chest. | ||
So that's very dangerous. | ||
So again, yeah, if you have a, again, upstanding. | ||
Respectable, conscientious population, then you can have those sorts of things. | ||
But when you have a population of criminals, you don't give them a way to exploit your systems like this. | ||
So again, it reminds me of when the Swedes were like, we're going to pay Syrians to go back home. | ||
unidentified
|
We're going to pay them $20,000 to be deported back to Syria. | |
It's like, you know what they're going to do, right? | ||
They're going to take that $20,000, they're going to go to Syria for a week, and then they're going to come back with a different name and a new passport, and they're going to do it again. | ||
And they're going to make $20,000 off you every month until you wake up to the scam and stop doing it. | ||
Swedish people, a lot of Americans, they have this innocent view. | ||
You have to be able to identify areas that could be exploited in order to defend against the exploitation. | ||
But in order to have that mindset, it's like Alex always talks about. | ||
You've got to be a little bit Machiavellian. | ||
You've got to be able to actually understand and think in the Machiavellian way to defeat the Machiavellian evil people. | ||
So, you know, when I see, oh, we have a Give, Send, Go legal defense fund for this killer. | ||
Like, my first thought is just like, okay, if I was a criminal, I would just be milking this for everything it's worth. | ||
And I'd turn it into a crowdfunded crime generator. | ||
I would never do that, but I can at least put myself in the mindset of one that would and realize that we're surrounded by them. | ||
Meanwhile, Maryland—this is something else. | ||
Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen visits El Salvador to demand return of deported MS-13 member. | ||
An American senator traveled to El Salvador to try to bring back an El Salvadorian— Who had previously been in this country and suspected of human trafficking, by the way. | ||
We have a lot more stories about this deported MS-13 member. | ||
And there's a lot to say about it, and we'll get into it. | ||
But yeah, Democrat Senator. | ||
Chris Van Hollen traveled to El Salvador this week to demand the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadorian national deported from the U.S. under the Trump administration due to alleged ties to MS-13. | ||
Quote, the goal of this mission is to let the Trump administration, to let the government of El Salvador know that we are going to keep fighting to bring Abrego Garcia home. | ||
No, he's home. | ||
He's from El Salvador. | ||
He is already home, sir, until he returns to his family. | ||
Tell you what, his family can join him there. | ||
And for that matter, so can Van Hollen. | ||
Imprison him, Bukele. | ||
I would genuinely love to see that. | ||
I know I've already tasked the crew with something, but I'm just saying, if you could Photoshop all of the El Salvadorian prisoners with that Maryland senator in there with them in his underwear, chained to all of them, just being like, | ||
what? All I was doing was trying to break the law. | ||
All I was doing was trying to bring in an illegal immigrant and using my power as a senator to do so. | ||
Yeah, he should be in jail. | ||
Finally, Trump opted for talks with Iran on nuclear deal rather than Israeli-led strikes. | ||
President Donald Trump opted to engage in diplomatic talks with Iran on a nuclear deal rather than go ahead with Israeli-proposed strikes on the nation. | ||
Officials with the Trump administration who spoke with the New York Times indicated that while the Israeli president Benjamin Netanyahu was interested in attacking Iran, Trump told him during their White House meeting that he would instead begin talks. | ||
and Yahoo had other ideas on how to deal with Iran, namely engaging U.S. military support to | ||
The Times reported, made his decision after months of internal debate. | ||
Israel had come up with a May attack plans and were hoping that the U.S. would sign off on those plans. | ||
Their interest was to put at least a years-long pause on Iran's ability to generate nuclear weapons. | ||
To pull it off, the U.S. would have had to be deeply involved, not only signing off but pledging to defend Israel from Iranian retaliation and to aid in Israel's success with their mission. | ||
Again, we will get very into this because there's a lot of internal division within the Trump administration as to how to deal with this. | ||
Really big shakeups. | ||
This is a true deep state civil war taking place. | ||
So we're going to dig down into that. | ||
I'll just say, watch for false flags. | ||
Red alert for false flags. | ||
Because that's a very convincing thing when an American aircraft carrier goes down with all hands. | ||
That'd be a very compelling argument to get involved in the Middle East. | ||
And when arguments with words fail, arguments with false flags take their place. | ||
I'm sorry, I thought that was the final story. | ||
This is actually the final story. | ||
Trump administration asks IRS to revoke Harvard's tax-exempt status. | ||
This on top of, I guess, this other story from today. | ||
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announces millions more in grants cut from Harvard, threatens schools' ability to enroll foreign students. | ||
They've cut $9 billion from federal funds to Harvard. | ||
They've forced the resignation. | ||
Of the Harvard president. | ||
They're essentially trying to destroy Harvard, a premier American institution, which I think is older than the United States itself, if I'm not mistaken. | ||
Maybe that's Yale. | ||
And I had a lot of conversations about this yesterday on X. Maybe we can go through some of them and I can talk about my perspective. | ||
But long story short, There is a pervasive and malicious mindset on our side of conditioned surrender. | ||
I don't even think people realize they're doing it, but they are. | ||
I can't tell you how many people, because I get up and go, why are we letting them destroy Harvard? | ||
Why are we letting them destroy this premier American institution? | ||
The best university in the world, and you'll see lists of the best universities in the world. | ||
It's Harvard. | ||
The top, number one. | ||
Maybe you'll have one or two other American universities in the top ten, but every other one in the top ten is a Chinese university because that's a signal of our collapse and their growth as we destroy our own institutions. | ||
But I had so many people basically going, ah, Harvard's full of libtards. | ||
Let it be destroyed. | ||
Let it burn. | ||
It's lost. | ||
It's full of socialists. | ||
And it's like, that's called surrender. | ||
That's called submitting. | ||
Okay? You don't have to give up. | ||
You don't have to run away. | ||
How did Harvard get that? | ||
Was Harvard always that way? | ||
Or was Harvard actually an incredible scientific institution for centuries before it was infiltrated and hijacked and manipulated? | ||
It's not permanent. | ||
But there's this idea, and again, it really has been indoctrinated into people that like... | ||
The only way institutions go is to the left, and it's impossible to take them to the right, and once they go leftward, they're lost, it's over, it's done, we can never do anything to fix it. | ||
Elementary schools teaching gay stuff, just go to homeschool. | ||
Your city isn't fixing crime. | ||
You better move to a small town. | ||
Yeah, there's the senator there. | ||
unidentified
|
I don't I don't | |
You're watching the American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
The Tricons have blinked. | ||
And they've said, all you need to do is say something nice about us and then we'll start buckling. | ||
Because, again, you think it's bad for American companies? | ||
You think it's hard, the trade war? | ||
Well, that's what a fight's like. | ||
Even if you're winning the fight, it's not fun. | ||
The other guy's getting some licks in. | ||
But we were slowly dying and we'd come to the end and we're going to lose the cards we had that were the best. | ||
But it was the last round we had to play the cards. | ||
And so China is buckling because Trump's got the tariffs up to almost 300% right now. | ||
And yeah, it's hurting so-called U.S. companies. | ||
Well, that's the position we got in. | ||
But it's, I'd say, 10 times worse for the Chi-Coms. | ||
And they will have a revolution. | ||
They will collapse in just six months at the current rate or earlier if they don't buckle. | ||
So, now, I really don't want that. | ||
I'd like to see the CHICOMs go. | ||
The problem, as I talked about with Martin Armstrong on Monday, economists, he agreed, is China will Definitely go into Taiwan to have a war, rather than the Chinese dictatorship be thrown out. | ||
So, as much as I'd like to see them go right now, and certainly remove Xi Jinping and more of a reformist like Deng Xiaoping or somebody, you really can't push a major nuclear power that's run by commies into that. | ||
Because they will go down with a nuclear war. | ||
So, that's just the real politic of all of this. | ||
So is Trump playing a dangerous game? | ||
Yeah. I mean, people that, you know, some of the patriots out there are like, oh, Trump's not for real. | ||
And then the left just thinks he's Satan, but he's 100% real. | ||
I mean, you may not agree with some of the real stuff he does, but he tells you what he's going to do. | ||
He does what he says he's going to do. | ||
And with Trump, I mean, you got some straight shooting going on. | ||
In fact, if you had to describe Trump in any way, it's the straight shooter. | ||
And there's a real power in that. | ||
Because when Trump says something, he means it. | ||
Now, there's the incredible pig-headedness as well. | ||
It's his strength and weakness that he'll never admit when he's wrong. | ||
Though he's kind of started changing that. | ||
I didn't know how bad it was eight years ago. | ||
I've learned a lot. | ||
I talk to people behind the scenes. | ||
And I'll leave it at that. | ||
I mean, the stuff I know about Trump, what's going on in the White House. | ||
Every bit of it is giant newsmaking information. | ||
But I'm given all this information so that I can understand that I'm dead on. | ||
That's basically what I'm told. | ||
So I can add that to my analysis. | ||
But just so much of what you hear from even the sectors in the right wing, if you call it that, and then the left wing obviously is all complete BS, all of it. | ||
It's just not what's going on. | ||
I mean, basically, this show is what Trump is. | ||
I mean, this culture, our worldview, what we do, this is the White House. | ||
I mean, we've won that information war. | ||
This is the recognized crim dollar crim. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
We have won the information war. | ||
Now the real war begins. | ||
So again, breaking down, I just love that he said, you know, we had the best cards, but this was the last round and we had to play them. | ||
Right? That's the way I picture it. | ||
It's like, the game will be over, we'll fold, and we'll be sitting there going, oh wait, we never played our aces. | ||
We never went all in. | ||
We were too scared. | ||
We can't be too scared to do what's necessary to retain just basic control of our economic systems. | ||
And we played yesterday the video about the transformers discovered from China, the electrical transformers, that it had hardware built in to be a kill switch that could be remotely activated, meaning they were sending us booby-trapped transformers. | ||
I want to be clear on how deliberate that is, right? | ||
You don't accidentally put in a remote control shutoff switch that you don't tell the purchaser about if you're not planning on using it at some point, right? | ||
That was an intentional act of sabotage preparing for a wider war with America, between America and China. | ||
So that's just one issue with the overwhelming influence China has on American life through their manufacturing. | ||
But that's not all. | ||
It's going out of clip number 21. After all, it's not just our electrical components that are sourced from China. | ||
It's our food and our medicine as well. | ||

Here's a stat. | ||
In 2016, 18.4 million pounds of antibiotics were sold for livestock. | ||
And that's what you're eating. | ||
Suicide rates amongst farmers are the highest than any other profession, and that includes... | ||
Veterans, believe it or not, I found that alarming. | ||
That's horrifying. | ||
I didn't even know that part. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, that is, wow. | |
What a devastating condemnation of our food system. | ||
So 60% of U.S. pork comes from one company, and it's 100% owned by China. | ||
It just shows how screwed up this whole globalist system is. | ||
You've got American farmers raising pigs, selling them to Americans, and for some reason... | ||
China controls whole operation and profits from it. | ||
It's just, why? | ||
Why do we need them? | ||
And again, you want to talk about their plans for the future, the globalist plans for the future, the eating bugs, the living in tiny boxes, the eradication of history, all this sort of stuff. | ||
But in particular, the eating of bugs, the getting rid of cows and chickens. | ||
I mean, whatever excuse they can find to slaughter... | ||
Farm animals by the tens of millions. | ||
They take it. | ||
They jump on that opportunity like it's going out of style. | ||
And it's an extremely dangerous situation we have set up because after all, they don't have to convince you to give up eating meat if they just stop stocking it on the store shelves. | ||
Like, what are you going to do? | ||
Some of you know how to go out and hunt or raise your own animals, but I, for one, would rather not forcibly dissolve back into Well, actually, now that I think about it, actually, I do want everybody to live on a small farm and be self-sufficient. | ||
Actually, maybe that would be a good thing. | ||
But regardless, the food system in this country and around the world is just horrifying. | ||
And if you could see the way China produces food, it'd give you nightmares. | ||
Factory farming is a sin against God, and I'm against it. | ||
But it's not just China that is feeling the heat from Trump's tariffs and thinking about what comes next. | ||
After the collapse, I want to go to a video now about Europe that puts everything in a very interesting perspective. | ||
Clip number four here. | ||
Europe is not preparing for war. | ||
It's preparing for collapse. | ||
And this puts everything that we've talked about when it comes to Europe preparing for war and, you know, sending things out to their citizens about have 72 hours of, you know, food ready and have gas masks and be prepared for nuclear conflict. | ||
Like all of that. | ||
War preparation that we've been reporting on hits a little bit different in this context. | ||
Let's go to clip number four now. | ||
unidentified
|
Europe's not preparing for war. | |
It's preparing for collapse. | ||
Let's be honest. | ||
And let's stop pretending this is about defending democracy because it's not. | ||
France, Germany, the UK, these elites aren't gearing up for war with Russia because they care about freedom. | ||
They're doing it because their grip on power is slipping and fast. | ||
Their economies are breaking. | ||
The middle class is crushed. | ||
People can't afford rent, food, or heating. | ||
Yet instead of helping, they're dumping billions into weapons. | ||
And now they're panicking. | ||
They sanctioned Hungary, a full EU member, because Orban refused to send more money to Ukraine, a country that isn't even in the EU. | ||
Let that sink in for a second. | ||
They punished a sovereign member state for not funding a foreign war. | ||
That's how desperate they are to keep this agenda alive. | ||
Meanwhile, Slovakia is breaking rank, Poland's pushing back, the AFD is rising in Germany, and France are doing everything to stop Marine Le Pen because the people support them and the elites can't stand it. | ||
So what do they do? | ||
They call them extremists. | ||
They smear them. | ||
They arrest them. | ||
They try to erase them from history. | ||
Why? Because these are the voices of the people, and that terrifies the establishment. | ||
So they fall back on the oldest trick in the book, crank up the fear. | ||
Blame Russia. | ||
Push for a war to cover for their own failures. | ||
But the threat isn't coming from Moscow, my friends. | ||
It's coming from within, from the millions of people across Europe and the U.S. who are done being lied to, used, and ignored. | ||
And yeah, it's happening in America, too. | ||
The media repeats the same script every day, and Trump, he's the one punching holes straight through it. | ||
So what do we do? | ||
Well, we don't scream. | ||
We don't riot. | ||
We speak the truth. | ||
We ask the right questions, and we stop playing along. | ||
Because when enough of us refuse the lie, the machine breaks. | ||
And you know what? | ||
They know it. | ||
Yes, I thought that was an extremely interesting take, and it does put the war plans in perspective. | ||
Of course, we know, and Europe knows, that they'll never win a war against Russia. | ||
But it seems to me like the purpose of the Third World War was to sort of be the final nail in the coffin, be the final act. | ||
Of Europe and the West as global hegemony as we are liquidated like a corporation that's been purchased by a hedge fund and forced into bankruptcy so they could cash out and leave all of the people that depend on the company out of luck even though they were doing fine before. | ||
The purchase happened. | ||
So we're being liquidated like a corporation, the West in general. | ||
And while that's horrifying, it's even more horrifying to know that you don't just sell everything off. | ||
You kill everybody on your way out through war. | ||
Really, really dangerous stuff here. | ||
unidentified
|
All right. | |
When it comes to China and the trade war, We have been warning for months, years even, about the coming conflict with China. | ||
Clearly, they're gearing up for war, and we've been reporting sort of intermittently on the updates to that. | ||
China was firing some of its less aggressive, less war hawkish generals. | ||
We reported on that several months ago. | ||
We've been reporting for a very long time about the criminally underreported fact that China and Russia are running joint bombing simulations over American airspace from Russian Arctic ports flying Chinese bombers and Russian fighters or Russian fighters and Chinese bombers flying in tandem and practicing delivering bombs in American airspace. | ||
That's been happening for several months. | ||
Of course, the menacing of Taiwan has only increased. | ||
In, you know, extremity and how often they're doing it. | ||
Bloomberg has this story. | ||
Are the U.S. and China headed to war? | ||
Watch for these five signs. | ||
They say, well, the two nations fight it out on trade. | ||
Less notice concerns are taking place in cyberspace near Taiwan and at Chinese shipyards. | ||
James Stavridius. | ||
is a Bloomberg opinion columnist, retired U.S. Navy Admiral, former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO, and Vice Chairman of Global Affairs at the Carlyle Group. | ||
With U.S., China, and China announcing increasingly punitive tariffs against one another over the last week, we have zoomed past the theorizing about a new Cold War and into the opening rounds of a very real trade war. | ||
It could conclude with a big, beautiful deal with China, as President Donald Trump has repeatedly promised, or it could lead to a prolonged and painful decoupling of the world's two largest economies if both sides dig in, something China seems prepared to do. | ||
Time will tell. | ||
Yet the question I'm consistently asked is not about trade war. | ||
It is, are we headed towards a hot war with China? | ||
The short answer is I hope not, of course, but I'm increasingly concerned about the trends. | ||
I spent the majority of my Navy career in the Pacific, and I never felt we were as close to an actual shooting war with Beijing as we are today. | ||
Now, again, I just told you this guy is the former NATO Allied Commander. | ||
He's a member of the Carlyle Group. | ||
Might I suggest... | ||
That he's not being totally honest and that the people talking about war with China aren't actually interested in preventing a war with China or even winning a war with China should it come. | ||
If that is what lies ahead, if we really are in this life or death struggle where only one can survive, where it's either us or them, and eventually it'll have to get to the shooting match phase of the conflict. | ||
Then would your number one strategic priority not be to become an ally with Russia? | ||
I mean, if he really is, if this is like, oh my god, war with China, and every simulation we run on war with China, we lose, because that's true, by the way. | ||
You're talking about the trade conflict and the devastating effect that China could have on America, all these people behind enemy lines. | ||
If this really is the existential threat that they're... | ||
Portraying it as, then why isn't our number one priority peace with Russia and then allying with Russia? | ||
Because everything we've done in Europe, in Eastern Europe, Ukraine, and surrounding areas for the last several decades has been to drive Russia, a European nation, into the arms of China and into greater cooperation with China and greater alliance with China. | ||
Why would we do that? | ||
Why would we make an enemy out of the country that is ethnically, culturally, religiously like us, that also happens to almost encompass or at least massively surround our geopolitical enemy, | ||
China? If you're looking at a world map, you're looking at China, you're saying, okay, what country is the biggest threat to China? | ||
It's probably the gigantic... | ||
Landmass that looms over China like a sort of Damascus. | ||
Like, wouldn't you do everything you possibly could to as rapidly as possible create a friendship and military alliance with Russia so if China starts getting cheeky and starts trying something on with us, | ||
we can go, you know who your next-door neighbor is, right? | ||
It's our best friend Russia who's got our back and is on your back. | ||
So what are we doing? | ||
So they're like, oh my god, war with Russia. | ||
Let's spend three years forcing, or war with China. | ||
Oh my gosh, it's coming. | ||
What are we going to do? | ||
Well, let's spend several years driving Russia into their arms. | ||
Let's make sure that China and Russia are trading weapons, and now they're running military drills together, and now they've increased their trade agreements, now they're codependent. | ||
Why? Are they stupid? | ||
Are these people stupid? | ||
Are they suicidal? | ||
In a way, yes. | ||
No, they're evil and they're setting this up. | ||
This has all been a setup the entire time. | ||
If anybody in American geopolitics felt like treating the threat of China legitimately, then Russia would be our best friend. | ||
Russia and America would have a special relationship. | ||
It wouldn't be the UK and America. | ||
It would be Russia and America. | ||
Because China is the biggest threat in Russia. | ||
Okay. I think you get it. | ||
But here are the five signs. | ||
Cyber attacks. | ||
China is increasingly assaulting U.S. critical infrastructure through its powerful offensive tech capability. | ||
The best known of these programs is called Volt Typhoon. | ||
It has been openly discussed by senior U.S. national security officials and has been reportedly subject to discussion in a secret December meeting between U.S. and Chinese authorities. | ||
The attacks have been directed against ports, water utilities, airports and other infrastructure targets. | ||
Aviation pressure on Taiwan is the second. | ||
Monitoring the levels of incursions into Chinese air defense identification zone can provide a key indicator of China's forward-leaning military strategy in terms of capturing the, quote, rogue province. | ||
Last year, there were more than 3,000 such incidents, nearly double the number in 2023. | ||
And already there have been several this year that have been larger than any others before. | ||
The third sign to look for is South China Sea Operations. | ||
Beijing bases its claims to virtually all these vast waters, about half the size of the continental U.S., in part on the historical voyages of 15th century Chinese Admiral Zheng He. | ||
These assertions have been adjudicated in the international court and rejected. | ||
Nonetheless, China is undertaking a range of maritime action. | ||
I do kind of appreciate that. | ||
Zheng He came here in 1434, so we own it. | ||
It's like China. | ||
It's like Spain claiming control over Mexico. | ||
Because that's where Columbus landed, or the Caribbean, because that's where Columbus landed in 1492. | ||
I know that works for some places in the Middle East, but typically claiming that you have some divine right to a piece of land because of stuff that happened hundreds or thousands of years ago isn't usually the most compelling geopolitical argument in the modern age, | ||
but I can see where they got the idea. | ||
Fourth on this list is Chinese naval construction. | ||
China's building warships at a prodigious rate, averaging 20 to 30 annually. | ||
The current fleet, in terms of numbers... | ||
of combatant vessels is larger than America's, well over 360 ships compared to roughly 300 for the U.S. China's stated objective is more than 400 warships. | ||
Beijing knows any war with the U.S. will be fought primarily at sea for a good indicator of Beijing's intention for significant combat, keeping an eye on the level of production at its shipyards. | ||
And finally, trade and tariff conflict. | ||
Perhaps the most dangerous indicator is one already in play, the level and breadth of tariffs imposed by each side. | ||
It's worth remembering how World War II began in the Pacific. | ||
with trade sanctions that cut off Japan from vital resources, notably oil, steel, and rubber. | ||
Many historians believe the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 was the culmination of a decade of economic disputes and provocative steps. | ||
China is now starting to cut off supplies of many rare earth minerals and strategically vital minerals over which it has a virtual global chokehold in terms of mining and, more importantly, perhaps refining. | ||
The U.S. tariffs will do immediate and significant damage to the Chinese economy, but it's China's response that will be the fifth key indicator of impending conflict. | ||
It's interesting he brings up Japan and World War II and Pearl Harbor, partly because all of that that we did to aggravate and almost force Japan into attacking us by cutting off the necessary oil supplies they required. | ||
And we've talked about this before. | ||
I presented the numbers on American Journal before, but it was astonishing how much oil they required to operate their war machine. | ||
And so we cut them off. | ||
And we did all of that for the benefit of China. | ||
Right? Japan was at war with China at the time. | ||
They were in a war with us. | ||
And we were helping China to defeat the Japanese by cutting off the Japanese supply lines. | ||
And that got us into World War II. | ||
That got us attacked at Pearl Harbor. | ||
It's like... | ||
No good deed, right? | ||
Of course, it wasn't a good deed. | ||
It was a steel geo... | ||
Strategic move, tried to gain dominance over formerly British holdings that the Japanese had liberated, according to them. | ||
But it's just, it's like, if only we'd known, if only we'd known where China would eventually lead, maybe we wouldn't have bothered getting into a war with Japan over it. | ||
But of course, it was all about Europe anyway. | ||
We didn't actually care that much about what was happening in the East. | ||
But it looks like things are heating up with China. | ||
I don't really know what to make of this, but everything I've heard has said that China is planning on launching a war with America as early as May. | ||
And I keep seeing that timeline crop up in all these stories. | ||
When we get back, we'll show you some clips from RFK Jr.'s very Powerful address yesterday about autism rates in this country as he seems to be clinging to at least some early promises of Maha. | ||
Stay with us. | ||
I'm going to go over some of the key numbers from the ADDM report. | ||
Overall, the autism is increasing in prevalence at an alarming rate. | ||
The study tests eight-year-olds who were born in 2014. | ||
And by the way, these studies are two years later than they should be. | ||
And one of the things that we're going to do as we remove this function... | ||
To the Administration for a Healthy America, to the new chronic disease division, is we are going to have updated real-time data so that people can look at this, Americans can understand what is happening with chronic disease in this country in real time. | ||
And I'd have to wait two years to react. | ||
We don't wait two years to react to a measles epidemic or any kind of infectious disease. | ||
We shouldn't have to do that for diabetes or autism. | ||
The ASD prevalence rate in eight-year-olds is now one in 31. Shocking. | ||
There's an extreme risk for boys. | ||
Overall, the risk for boys of getting an autism diagnosis in this country is now 1 in 20. And as high in California, which has the best data collection, so it probably also reflects the national trend, | ||
1 in 12.5 boys. | ||
This is part of an unrelenting upward trend. | ||
The prevalence two years ago was 1 in 36. Since the first ADDM report in 1990, which was 1992 births, autism has increased by a factor of 4.8. | ||
That's 480%, I believe. | ||
The first ADDM survey was 22 years ago, when prevalence was 1 in 150 children. | ||
In all the core states, the trend is consistently upward, and most cases now are severe. | ||
So about 25% of the kids who are diagnosed with autism are nonverbal, non-toilet trained, and have other stereotypical features: headbanging, tactile and light sensitivities. | ||
Stimming, toe walking, etc. | ||
One of the things that I think that we need to move away from today is this ideology that the autism diagnosis, that the autism prevalence increases, | ||
the relentless increases, are simply artifacts of Better diagnoses, better recognition, or changing diagnostic criteria. | ||
If you look at Table 3 of the ADDM report, it's clear that the rates are real, that they are increasing in the last 10 years, which is beginning with the first one. | ||
Year by year, there is a steady, relentless increase. | ||
I want it because this This epidemic denial has become a feature in the mainstream media and it's based on an industry canard and obviously there are people who don't want us to look at environmental exposures and so I want to just read you some of the little excerpts from some of the older studies. | ||
The baseline for autism in this country was established With the biggest, largest epidemiological study in history, a study of all 900,000 children in the state of Wisconsin, | ||
children under the age of 12. They found 0.7 children had autism in every 10,000. | ||
All right, so that's just sort of the beginning of Senator Kennedy's address about autism. | ||
We'll show you some more clips and talk about what he's doing on the other side. | ||
Stay with us. | ||
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
unidentified
|
The second hour of the American Journal is on. | |
Oh boy, we got a lot to talk about, of course. | ||
And I got a lot to talk about. | ||
A lot of videos to show you as well. | ||
Let's continue with Senator Kennedy and what he is doing at the HHS. | ||
So we just saw his address, or at least part of his address, about autism. | ||
And again, the rates are absolutely astonishing, heart-stopping when you hear how prevalent this condition is becoming. | ||
Growing up, I maybe knew one kid with autism, maybe. | ||
Then by the time I was in high school, my sister was babysitting or she was a nanny for a family with a kid with autism. | ||
That was my first introduction to it. | ||
It makes things very, very difficult. | ||
Locally, it can be dealt with to some degree, but I do like that Senator Kennedy called people downplaying this or Ignoring this, what do you call them, like, pandemic deniers? | ||
He's flipping the language around on them. | ||
Because they like to throw the word denier on things that aren't actually real, like climate change. | ||
You're a climate change denier because you actually understand science. | ||
But in this case, they literally are deniers. | ||
I mean, they literally are telling you... | ||
Shut up and don't worry about it. | ||
Don't look at it. | ||
Don't pay attention to the evidence. | ||
Don't ask questions. | ||
It's just autism didn't exist before. | ||
It's everywhere now. | ||
And don't ask questions. | ||
Just don't look into it. | ||
They're just denying it. | ||
Or they're denying it's a bad thing. | ||
Which I think it is. | ||
I think it is a bad thing. | ||
And he talks about the inability of a lot of people afflicted with autism. | ||
To live normal lives. | ||
It's not something you would choose to, you know, it's not a way you would choose to live. | ||
But for some reason, you have literal autism deniers out there going, actually, my son has a job and has autism. | ||
It's like, yeah, there's varying degrees on the spectrum. | ||
Yes, we understand not everybody with autism is like disabled. | ||
And yes, some people are incapable, even though they're not autistic, right? | ||
These are not exclusive things, but they're acting like they are. | ||
And I really have to ask why. | ||
I mean, why wouldn't you want to know what's behind this? | ||
Genuinely, why would you not ask questions about this? | ||
The only reason I could possibly think is that you're against investigating this because you know what causes it and you don't want... | ||
The answer to be found. | ||
Why else would you see the astonishing, the staggering rise in autism rates in this country and around the world and not ask questions about it? | ||
I'm telling you, this is the MO, right? | ||
This is what we've pointed out over and over in a variety of different topics. | ||
They don't give you an answer, but they're going to demonize you for asking questions. | ||
Or they're going to demonize you for trying to get an answer. | ||
They'll say, we don't know what causes this, but speculation is conspiracy theory and you're a dangerous science denier if you want an answer to this mystery. | ||
It's crazy, but that's the case. | ||
Then we have this story from Gateway Pundit. | ||
Mental health experts fear Senator Kennedy's investigation into psychiatric drugging. | ||
And there's so many aspects to this. | ||
We'll get to this in just a second. | ||
Look again at some of these clips from the autism address yesterday. | ||
Let's go to clip number 10 here. | ||
This is RFK Jr. delivering an emotional and heartbreaking message about how deeply the autism epidemic is devastating our children. | ||
Let's watch. | ||
unidentified
|
This is an indivisible tragedy as well. | |
Autism destroys families. | ||
More importantly, it destroys our greatest resource for child children. | ||
These are children who should not be suffering like this. | ||
These are kids who, many of them, were fully functional and progressed because of some environmental exposure into autism when they're two years old. | ||
And these are kids who will never pay taxes, will never hold a job, will never play baseball, will never write a poem, will never go out on a date, many of them will never use | ||
a toilet unassisted. | ||
And we have to recognize we are doing this to our children. | ||
And we take a quick end to it. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
And you've got people out there going, actually, my son uses the toilet by himself, so you're crazy and dangerous, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. | ||
unidentified
|
It's like, okay. | |
So it's a good thing? | ||
So should we be trying to increase autism rates? | ||
I mean, if it's no big deal, if it's actually like a superpower, it's like, no, it's a crippling medical condition. | ||
It's not good. | ||
It's like, I guess this is where we're at now. | ||
I guess it makes sense. | ||
I mean, you gotta explain men are men and women are women. | ||
I mean, you gotta explain the sky is blue. | ||
I guess I have to explain autism bad. | ||
Hey guys, autism bad. | ||
Autism not good. | ||
Is that simple enough for you? | ||
Drooling idiots. | ||
unidentified
|
I just | |
I genuinely don't get it. | ||
I genuinely don't get the outrage that I'm seeing from the left of RFK being like, there used to be one in a thousand, now it's one in twelve, and it's increasing. | ||
What do we do about this? | ||
But they know the answer. | ||
They know it's probably the vaccines. | ||
It almost certainly is the vaccines. | ||
There are lots of... | ||
It's one of the things that you see, I see it almost every day, where it's like, yeah, it turns out if you take whatever, it decreases autism rates, or this person was severely autistic until they did ketamine, or whatever it is. | ||
But almost always, it centers around the immune system. | ||
It appears as though autism has something to do with the immune system overreacting or not functioning correctly. | ||
Or being destroyed by insane amounts of vaccines at two years old. | ||
It's not a surprise that two years old is when a lot of these things come about, because that's the two-year visit to the doctor where they try to get you to take all the vaccines. | ||
But that's not the only thing he's going after. | ||
He's going after the mental health psychiatric drugs as well. | ||
We had a big article on Infowars about this by Raw Egg Nationalists talking about the connection between school shooters and psychiatric SSRI drugs. | ||
Mental health experts fear Senator Kennedy's investigation into psychiatric drugging. | ||
Within a few weeks of Trump's inauguration, the president signed an executive order establishing the Make America Healthy Again Commission, which, among other things, will be assessing the prevalence and threat posed by the prescription of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, stimulants, | ||
and weight loss drugs. | ||
In other words, officialdom finally is looking at the out-of-control, unscientific... | ||
Unscientific chemical experimentation used to address unwanted behaviors. | ||
You know, I almost want to play that video that we played last week or maybe the week before where it was Cali Means addressing a bunch of big pharma people in a conference. | ||
And he basically says, you know, all this in the last 20 years, 30 years, however long the time period was, we've put so much more money in. | ||
These companies have been so much more profitable. | ||
We've had such advances in medical science, and yet everybody is less healthy. | ||
No matter what metric you want to go by, we're worse off now than we were before. | ||
Remember, that's when everybody laughs. | ||
He's like, oh, is that funny? | ||
Tell me a metric. | ||
Tell me one instance you can point to and say, actually, see, we're better off. | ||
We're significantly worse off in every possible regard. | ||
Right? Obesity rate. | ||
And the only thing that offsets that is that with medical advancements, You are able to keep people alive in worse conditions for a longer period of time. | ||
And so the obesity rates in America right now literally wouldn't have been possible 100 years ago because anybody as fat as that would have died. | ||
Your body shuts down. | ||
We have all these medical interventions now to keep people alive even in terribly unhealthy condition. | ||
That's talking about the physical health. | ||
mental health is is even a worse state to be in | ||
Assessing the prevalence and threat posed by the prescription of selective serotonin. | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
This is what I was going to say. | ||
It's so bad at this point. | ||
Oh, yeah, yeah. | ||
And in that talk with Kelly Means, he's like, they're telling seven-year-old kids to go on Ozempic. | ||
They're telling seven-year-old children that they should be taking weight loss drugs. | ||
That's the official recommendation from the CDC. | ||
You don't see a problem with that? | ||
You don't see an issue in that? | ||
You don't see just how they did with COVID in downplaying or denying outright the existence of natural immunity in order to force you into getting a vaccine or ignoring and again downplaying any mitigating efforts, whether that's red light or like dealing with destroying the virus other ways without the vaccine or just being healthy and having a functional and powerful immune system that just makes it just a shield against it is a | ||
natural. Vaccine or natural immunity. | ||
Remember, they downplayed all of that. | ||
They're doing the same thing in every area of health. | ||
Where it's, oh, your seven-year-old child is morbidly obese? | ||
Put him on drugs. | ||
Oh, you're unhappy? | ||
You better go on drugs. | ||
Oh, you're, you know, anything's not working right? | ||
What is the drug we can prescribe to you? | ||
And I know everybody knows this. | ||
Like, everybody kind of gets that. | ||
America's over-prescribed, but then everybody goes along with it anyway. | ||
If you're seven years old, do you have any idea how easy it is to lose weight at seven years old? | ||
Or just like maintain weight and keep growing? | ||
I mean, it's like they forgot that you can do medical intervention without Well, | ||
We don't know how a calorie deficit caused by taking a GLP-1 would alter that development. | ||
I mean, would that stop you? | ||
I mean, you know the effect that giving them hormone blockers will have. | ||
And you give that to them anyway, so what do you care? | ||
As Novo Nordisk weight loss drug lowers BMI in kids as young as 6, Liraglutide is an older version of the popular GLP-1 drugs, which include Ozempic, but questions remain about starting kids on a lifelong drug so young. | ||
The question is how much we can charge for it. | ||
The question we're asking is how much we can rake out of these people. | ||
Convincing people that you need these drugs. | ||
Convincing people that's the only way you can lose weight or be healthy or be in a good mental state. | ||
You have to have the drugs. | ||
Now you're on the drug, you have to have it for the rest of your life. | ||
Gee, who knew? | ||
Look, you're going to be an addicted customer for life. | ||
Whoops, whoopsies. | ||
And it's like they genuinely want you to forget that the option is there to just stop eating and work out. | ||
You can actually lose weight naturally, especially if you're a six-year-old child. | ||
Putting children's channeling a six on weight loss jabs like Ozempic could tackle spiraling under-40s diabetes crisis, top expert says. | ||
Yeah, maybe. | ||
You know what else could? | ||
Not eating processed crap constantly and gorging yourself into obesity. | ||
That's also a possibility, you know. | ||
You know, all of these, although I didn't even cover the ADHD thing, there was a big article in New York Times that basically admitted ADHD didn't exist. | ||
It basically came out with the conclusion that like, yeah, it's actually just like little boys are little boys and these medicines are just prescribed because it makes it easier for the parents to deal with unwieldy children. | ||
It's not a medical condition. | ||
I mean, there's no study, like tests you can take to determine if you have ADHD. | ||
You rely on self-reporting of symptoms, which can be subjectively interpreted. | ||
So, like, there's not, you can't, like, take somebody's blood and test it and go, yep, this is ADHD blood. | ||
It doesn't exist. | ||
It doesn't exist for any psychiatric condition, actually. | ||
But if the crew can find that article, we had it earlier this week, and I would like to, maybe if we can do it during this segment, because I'm going to keep going on this. | ||
Health stuff. | ||
And you need to know that. | ||
So just in the last year, they figured out that like SSRIs don't actually work the way that they thought they did. | ||
They don't actually understand the underlying function. | ||
And they're actually completely out to sea when it comes to the association of these things. | ||
It's an article from New York Times. | ||
I believe it was New York Times. | ||
Just search ADHD on X or on the... | ||
Substack or our previous show logs, I had a couple articles in there about ADHD and the revelation basically that it doesn't exist and then amphetamines don't help it. | ||
And that you're basically just giving speed to children because it's easier than helping them. | ||
Have we been thinking about ADHD all wrong? | ||
With diagnosis at a record high, some experts... | ||
Have begun to question our assumptions about the condition and how to treat it. | ||
In the early 90s, James Swanson was working as a research psychologist at UC Irvine, where he specializes in the study of attention disorders. | ||
It was a touchy time for the field. | ||
The Church of Scientology had organized a nationwide protest campaign against the psychiatric profession, and Ritalin, the then-leading medication prescribed to children diagnosed with ADHD, was one of its main targets. | ||
Whenever Swanson and his colleagues gathered for a scientific conference, they were met by chanting protesters, waving signs in airplanes overhead, pulling banners that read, Sykes, stop drugging our kids. | ||
Well, they sound like dangerous conspiracy theorists. | ||
I hope they were silenced because they're making everybody unsafe. | ||
It was true that prescription rates for Ritalin were on the rise. | ||
The number of American children diagnosed with ADHD more than doubled in the early 90s from fewer than a million patients in 1990 to more than 2 million in 93, about almost two-thirds of whom were prescribed Ritalin. | ||
To Swanson at the time, that increase seemed entirely appropriate. | ||
Those 2 million children represented about 3% of the nation's child population, and 3% was the rate that he and many other scientists believe was an accurate measure of ADHD among children. | ||
Still, you don't have to be a Scientologist to acknowledge there were some legitimate questions about ADHD. | ||
I don't know. | ||
almost overnight, but nobody had measured in careful, long scale, large scale scientific study, how common that positive response was. | ||
Or, for that matter, what the effects were on a child taking Ritalin over a long term. | ||
And so Swanson and a team of researchers with funding from the NIMD began a vast multi-site randomized control trial comparing stimulant treatment for ADHD with non-pharmaceutical approaches like parent training and behavioral coaching, which are fancy words for discipline. | ||
Parent training and behavioral coaching. | ||
Yes, smacking your child in the back of the head when they're acting up. | ||
That's what that means. | ||
Or whatever, shaking your finger in their face. | ||
Let's go back. | ||
I want to keep reading this. | ||
I want to keep delving into this article. | ||
Swanson was in charge in the site in Orange County, California. | ||
He recruited and selected about 100 children with ADHD symptoms, all from 7 to 9 years old. | ||
They were divided into treatment groups. | ||
Some were given regular doses of Ritalin, some were given high-quality behavioral training, and some were given a combination. | ||
In the remainder, a comparison group were left alone to figure out their own treatment. | ||
The same thing happened at five other sites across the continent, known as the Multimodal Treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder Study, or MTA. | ||
It was one of the largest studies ever taken for long-term effects of psychiatric medication. | ||
The initial results of the MTA study, published in 99, underscored the case. | ||
Yes, fewer symptoms like imagination and free will. | ||
Ritalin worked. | ||
This was good news. | ||
Though Swanson had welcomed the initial increase in diagnosis rate, he expected to plateau at 3%. | ||
Instead, it kept rising, hitting 5.5% of American children in 97, then 6.6% in 2000. | ||
As time passed, he began to grow uneasy. | ||
It keeps going. | ||
It's still true that after 14 months of treatment, the children taking Ritalin behaved better than those in other groups. | ||
But by 36 months, that advantage had faded completely, and children in every group, including the comparison group, displayed exactly the same level of symptoms. | ||
Swanson's now 80 and close to the end of his career, and when he talks about his life's work, he sounds troubled, not just about the MTA results, about the state of ADHD. | ||
So, they go, gee, immediately in the first day and then for the ensuing 14 months, kids on Ritalin do a lot better. | ||
Well, yeah, they're... | ||
Pharmaceutical grade methamphetamines. | ||
I mean, or amphetamines. | ||
You would expect them to have an effect of some sort. | ||
But then they find that 36 months after the trial begins, everybody's sort of evened out. | ||
And the Ritalin kids are not really doing that much better than the non-Ritalin kids. | ||
Might I suggest, hear me out here, might I suggest that children develop a lot in three years? | ||
And that maybe the symptoms of ADHD you were seeing were in fact symptoms of being tiny children and toddlers and babies. | ||
And maybe that three years after, they're running around being crazy and wanting to play and tumble around instead of sitting at a desk. | ||
Three years after that, they might be more inclined to participate in school and has absolutely nothing to do with treatment one way or the other. | ||
And it's literally just the natural development of... | ||
Children into maturity? | ||
I mean, is this, like, what the hell? | ||
It's like, I'm telling you, I don't, I don't, I don't get how you get to this point. | ||
I don't understand it. | ||
It's like, gee, all the people that, you know, the four-year-olds were, had greater ADHD symptoms than the seven-year-olds. | ||
It's like, that's not an ADHD symptom. | ||
It's the symptom of childhood. | ||
It's a symptom. | ||
What they're expressing is the condition of being a baby, being a toddler and a child, and one that's not supposed to sit still and listen to some woman drone on about division when you're four. | ||
It's like, so. | ||
So maybe, maybe if your child is acting overly energetic when they're four, it's because they're four and not because they have a disease that requires pharmaceutical intervention. | ||
Maybe by the time they're seven, they will have grown out of being a four-year-old and will no longer show the symptoms that you imagined. | ||
But it turns out, if you're so concerned about the hyperactivity of your four- or five-year-old, And you put them on Ritalin, it's hard to take that back. | ||
So, I mean, it's just, it is literally across the board. | ||
So you've got autism rates exploding. | ||
Rates of prescription pharmaceutical. | ||
Antidepressants, SSRIs, antipsychotics massively exploding. | ||
To the point now, the story I was just reading, salmon are like swimming faster because they're now being affected by the pollutants, the medical molecules in the water that have gone through a human body, been flushed into a sewer, and ended up in the ocean. | ||
I mean, 10 years ago, they were doing studies showing that shrimp were committing suicide off the coast of the UK. | ||
Because all of the water, yeah, anxiety drugs found in rivers make salmon take more risks. | ||
We're so over-medicated, over-prescribed in this country, it's like leeching out of our bodies into nature itself and destroying everything. | ||
The frogs are gay, the salmoners are anxious. | ||

|
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | |
We just have so much to talk about. | ||
I've put in a few more videos in there, guys. | ||
We can go to some of those now. | ||
I don't even know where to begin. | ||
We'll just try to pour through some of this. | ||
So we covered yesterday for basically the whole show, Carmelo Anthony, the absurdity surrounding that entire situation. | ||
It's only gotten worse. | ||
Free Mello, Carmelo Anthony's friends, family, sell merch in support of Austin Metcalf's admitted killer. | ||
By the way, I got some speculation about this. | ||
I was thinking about this. | ||
And I was asking the question, why did Carmelo admit that he did it? | ||
Why did he turn himself in? | ||
And I was thinking about that in combination with what I talked about the other day where, you know, Anthony Cumia was showing this video. | ||
I know the crew eventually found the video. | ||
That was showing, it's like a YouTube, it's like a prank channel, but it's black guys going around and basically invading spaces with white people and like trying to get a reaction, trying to frame it as racist when they're told to leave or ask what they're doing there. | ||
And I wonder, I mean, I don't know, but I feel like, I don't know, I just have this inkling. | ||
I bet they're going to find messages from Carmelo that show that this was pre-planned in some way. | ||
I bet he's got messages that are like, yeah, we're going to go mess with people. | ||
We're going to go get in a fight on purpose. | ||
I don't know. | ||
There's just something about it. | ||
I'm like, is this even worse than we thought? | ||
Could this have been almost premeditated? | ||
Where it's like... | ||
It's like, we'll start, just knowing, like, we'll start fights. | ||
We'll be able to, you know, and we'll probably film it for social media. | ||
Like, I wonder if he was filming for social media. | ||
We know there's a video of the stabbing out there, but it hasn't been released, which, again, to me is really a lot of evidence that it was not a self-defense situation. | ||
Otherwise, they would have released that right away. | ||
It would have been leaked immediately. | ||
So I wonder if this was all kind of pre-planned to at least some degree by Carmelo Anthony being like, yeah, if I stab him, I'll just say it was self-defense and it'll be fine. | ||
Again, I don't have any proof for that, but I figured I'd say it because I could just see that eventually coming out of me being like, dang it, I knew it. | ||
Dang it, I had a feeling that was the case and I never said it because I wasn't sure. | ||
And I'm not sure, but I just have a feeling. | ||
I just have a bit of a feeling about that. | ||
And one of the reasons that I'm very much thinking that's the case is because Carmelo Anthony and his team has come out with a bunch of videos and photos and stuff. | ||
They never once even try to make the case that he's innocent or that he was... | ||
In self-defense. | ||
They really don't. | ||
I mean, it seems like they're kind of just bragging that they're getting away with murder. | ||
Free mellow justice for Carmelo Anthony. | ||
These things on the shirt. | ||
And it's like... | ||
He's a victim of being black. | ||
What does that mean? | ||
What does that mean, Matt? | ||
Matt just said in my ear he's a victim of being black. | ||
I don't know what that means. | ||
But I guess, yeah. | ||
Let's go to clip number seven. | ||
Did you blow you up, Matt? | ||
Were you not trying to say that on air? | ||
Carmelo Anthony's team released a POV video filmed on Ray-Ban Metaglasses bragging about intimidating a female reporter. | ||
Let's go to clip number seven now. | ||
unidentified
|
Just stay close, okay? | |
Yeah. Is it a car? | ||
This is the point of view video of his team that was released. | ||
What this is supposed to do for him, I couldn't possibly say. | ||
Currently there's also a big protest planned on April 19th. | ||
unidentified
|
-Criminal, do you have anything that you'd like to say? | |
-And I think Frisco text---Do you have anything that you'd like to say to the victim, to the family of the victim? | ||
Why were you armed, sweetheart? | ||
Carmelo, why were you armed at school? | ||
unidentified
|
Explain your self-defense. | |
How is this self-defense? | ||
Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me. | ||
Is there anything you want to say to the community that's donated? | ||
unidentified
|
There you go, being escorted into the dirty SUV. | |
So why release that video? | ||
All I'm saying is if it was me, if I really was in a self-defense situation, suddenly there's this big media conundrum about me defending myself, every piece of media I would put out would be making my case. | ||
It would be making my argument. | ||
I would be... | ||
Trying to tell people what the reality was. | ||
Or I wouldn't put anything out. | ||
Why are they putting things out that they aren't defending themselves? | ||
They aren't debunking misinformation. | ||
It's like, oh, Carmelo's violent. | ||
There's no actual substance to anything that their team is putting out that would do anything to downplay the horrificness of what he did, provide any argument that it was self-defense at all. | ||
They're just not doing anything. | ||
You know, I guess I could understand if you're like, okay, we got to save it for the courtroom. | ||
But like, clearly this has become a major media thing. | ||
They're selling shirts. | ||
Like, they're not shying away from it. | ||
They're not hiding. | ||
So why is none of the content that they are publishing have any substance at all? | ||
It's all just like pictures of the big house he has or videos like that where he's like being escorted like he's a politician into his... | ||
SUV, making him look like a celebrity. | ||
But nowhere is there a video of Carmelo saying, hey, look, this was an accident. | ||
This was not good. | ||
I'm so sorry. | ||
There's been no actual substance in anything that their team has put out, even though they've got these hundreds of thousands of dollars and have all these PR people and lawyers and everything. | ||
I think it's going to get worse. | ||
I think by the time... | ||
Well, first of all, I don't think it's going to go to trial because I think they pled, you know, I think they're going to plead guilty because he admitted to doing it. | ||
And so I think it's going to be a negotiated settlement of some sort. | ||
He'll probably spend some time in jail, but it probably won't be his life or whatever. | ||
So I don't know. | ||
So, I mean, if this were to go to trial, then you would be able to present the video and hear the testimony about it. | ||
But I don't know if we're going to get anything like that because I think it's probably just going to be a plea deal if I had to guess. | ||
So we might never see that video, but I think eventually it'll come out. | ||
I have the feeling it's going to be worse than we even think. | ||
That's just me and I'm happy to be proven wrong. | ||
Happy to be proven wrong. | ||
If it turns out that there's a video and Austin Metcalf is on top of Carmelo and smashing his head into the ground and... | ||
Everybody else is sitting around cheering and it's like, there's a video, there's a possibility that a video could show something that would change my mind. | ||
I'm betting against it. | ||
I'm betting against that happening at all, even a little bit. | ||
But this is all, all of this is just symptom of a wider phenomenon of the total death of law and order as a concept. | ||
As it's taken over, manipulated, hijacked, and being destroyed by the very people that are supposed to uphold it. | ||
And it's really across the board. | ||
And again, I mean, I can show you so many videos of this. | ||
Like, how many different angles can we approach this at? | ||
Okay, I've got Letitia James being a total fraud and actually committing the crimes that she tried to send Trump to jail over. | ||
We can get into those details in just a second. | ||
Legal system. | ||
Yeah, we'll get to Laetitia James in just a second. | ||
We can approach her from that angle. | ||
We can approach her from the Luigi Mangione angle, where we can talk about leftists being psychotic murder supporters, making a celebrity and a deity out of a man who murdered a father of two by shooting him in the back in the middle of the day. | ||
Totally outrageous. | ||
I could approach this from the lowering bail, eliminating bail, the bonds, the incredible death that comes from that. | ||
And I am. | ||
I'm going to get into all of this. | ||
I'm going to show you all these videos. | ||
But what you get at the end of the day as you zoom out and look at it holistically or as a big picture, bird's eye view, is that law and order, the rule of law. | ||
It's being destroyed in this country. | ||
It is being systematically eviscerated, eliminated, and it's being done through a variety of different methods and reasons. | ||
On one hand, you have the officials in the positions of power deliberately weaponizing the legal system, not going after real criminals, but instead charging politicians with crimes so they can achieve political advantage. | ||
And just everything else. | ||
So, here's one pretty good example of just the horrific, devastating consequences of this. | ||
Man whose death sentence was commuted by Biden in 2024 has been indicted for first-degree murder of a 12-year-old girl. | ||
Thomas Stephen Sanders, a convicted child murderer whose federal death sentence was commuted by Biden in December of 2024 through his auto pin, has been indicted for first-degree murder by a Louisiana grand jury. | ||
Sanders was originally sentenced to death in 2014 for the 2010 kidnapping and murder of a 12-year-old girl named Lexis Roberts of Las Vegas. | ||
He had taken Lexis and her mother, Sue Ellen Roberts, on a trip to the Grand Canyon during which he murdered Sue Ellen in Arizona and then brought Lexis to Louisiana where he killed her in Catahoula Parish. | ||
Despite the federal conviction and death sentence, Biden commuted Sanders' sentence to life imprisonment without parole in the start of a broader effort. | ||
Move affecting 37 out of the 40 inmates on federal death row. | ||
Now the state of Louisiana is seeking to oppose its own justice. | ||
And they've now indicted him because they are mad that the federal government decided to intervene and overwrite the punishment for the murder of a child. | ||
Savannah Hernandez, and I mentioned this yesterday, she's come out with a video and an article on this. | ||
At Postmillennial, Democrat judge allows 900 murderers to walk free on bond in Houston. | ||
A Democrat judge in Houston, Texas, allowed 900 accused murderers to walk free on bond under her direction. | ||
Judge Hillary Unger of Harris County, who originally campaigned on alternatives to incarceration, has also been tied to a pattern of criminals who committed murder after being granted bond. | ||
Let's go to this video now. | ||
This is Savannah Hernandez, clip 15, 900 crimes committed by early releasers. | ||
Let's watch. | ||
Okay, I gotta talk to you guys about these district court judges out of Texas because you had a Democrat district court judge in Harris County who was just leaped to releasing 900 accused murderers onto these streets of Houston. | ||
Yeah, 900. | ||
So this is district court judge Hillary Unger of Harris County. | ||
And I just, you know, if you've ever wondered why does Harris County have such a high crime rate, the highest in Texas, it's because of district court judges like this. | ||
Let's take a peek at who she has released onto the street. | ||
Starting off with Dramone Francis. | ||
Now, in 2024, he was charged with capital murder, meaning that he killed a Houston police officer. | ||
And instead of locking this man away, Judge Unger decided to grant him bond. | ||
And guess what? | ||
He was able to post bail, and he was since released. | ||
But that's a pretty relaxed case. | ||
Let's take a peek at Marquise Ware, who in 2021, and this one is just absolutely crazy, my friends, this man was charged with a felony and he was granted bond by Judge Unger. | ||
And then he committed another felony, okay? | ||
But instead of having his first bond revoked, he was given another bond. | ||
Now, while he was free, while he was released on this bond... | ||
He then went and shot and killed a father in front of his 12-year-old daughter, and you guessed it, instead of being put in jail, instead of being put away after his third offense, he was granted yet another bond. | ||
After murdering somebody, he was able to post bail and got out within the day. | ||
By the way, this case specifically was linked to a pattern of eight other defendants, specifically linked to Judge Unger's court, who went on to commit murder after being released on bond. | ||
But it keeps going, my friends. | ||
Let's now talk about Andrew Williams, who was also charged with capital murder, but of course was released due to a bond being set by Unger's court. | ||
Now, this guy went on to kill a 71-year-old woman by running her over with his vehicle after he stole her purse from her. | ||
And it gets worse, okay? | ||
Let's talk about Austin Collette. | ||
This is a pretty up-to-date case. | ||
This happened earlier this month. | ||
Now, this young man... | ||
He was released on bond because he had committed a murder in 2019. | ||
He pled guilty to it in December of 2024, and he was out free while he was awaiting sentencing. | ||
Now, while he was free, he decided to shoot and kill his girlfriend and then shoot and kill himself in a murder-suicide. | ||
So just wanted to give you guys a couple of cases because there seems to be a very long pattern. | ||
Like I said at the beginning of this video, 900 accused murderers released on bond. | ||
onto the streets of Houston to potentially go commit more crimes if you guys were wondering Why is it that crime rates seem to be so high in Texas? | ||
Why does it seem like we can never get crime under control and people keep getting released again and again and again? | ||
It is because of district court judges just like this one throughout Texas. | ||
Keep in mind, there are 477 district court judges in our state. | ||
Yeah, this is what they're doing every single day. | ||
Re-releasing criminals onto the streets who then go on to commit other heinous crimes. | ||
Savannah Hernandez reports, Democrat judge allows 900 accused murderers to walk free on bond in Houston. | ||
Of course, she begins that statement by saying, what is it that makes Harris County so much more violent and murderous than elsewhere? | ||
And there's actually a phrase for this. | ||
It's called black girl magic. | ||
It's called black girl magic, all right? | ||
We did Black Girl Magic in 2019, and now the murder rate has exploded. | ||
Meet Black Girl Magic, the 19 African-American women elected as judges in Texas. | ||
Though Houston and Harris County make up one of the most ethnically and racially diverse metro areas in the country, it hasn't always been reflected in its judges. | ||
But the region recently took a big step towards representation when it elected an additional 17 African-American women to the bench, bringing the total number of African-American judges in the county to a record 19. Now, are these women chosen because they were the best for the job? | ||
No, they were chosen because they're black women. | ||
It turns out they're terrible at the job. | ||
And again, it's the same election where Beto tried to become senator. | ||
And that's, you know, he had a big push for him. | ||
Soros gave millions of dollars. | ||
They did all sorts of, you know, voter fraud, voter harvesting sort of stuff. | ||
Hyper-focused and targeted on ethnic enclaves within Houston and other major Texas cities to get out the vote there, to demographically replace all of the old white judges that had been presiding over the court system for decades and had massive amounts of experience and knew what they were doing. | ||
They all got swept out, and in came a bunch of amateurs whose main pitch to the voters was, I'm going to go easy on criminals. | ||
So that's what you get at the end of the day. | ||
So, they want to celebrate it happens. | ||
We will condemn it when the outcome is horrific. | ||
But that's on you for that. | ||
Now, I'm going to be joined by Lisa Logan in the next hour. | ||
And I'm just, I just always, I just, you would think three hours is enough to get into all this stuff. | ||
And usually with Lisa Logan, we're probably going to talk for the whole hour because she's... | ||
Just so good and knowledgeable about what she does. | ||
So I want to, I guess I'll save the Letitia James stuff for tomorrow. | ||
I'll explain some of that stuff. | ||
And I want to at least get in a little bit to what has happened with Iran, because this is such a major story. | ||
And I don't know if I'm going to have time to get to it next hour, but here it is. | ||
Iran splits Trump team over nuclear talks versus military strikes. | ||
President Trump has vowed to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, but inside his national security team, there's a divide over the best way to do it. | ||
This isn't a theoretical debate. | ||
Trump has dispatched negotiators to try to get a deal on B-2 bombers and aircraft carriers for Plan B. | ||
Again, I don't think it should be all that. | ||
Trickier, complicated, but we have this entangling alliance that really complicates everything. | ||
There are different approaches, but people are not shouting at each other, a U.S. official said about the Situation Room meeting on Monday about Iran. | ||
The president is proud that he has a team with different views. | ||
He listens to all of them and finally takes the decision he thinks is in the best interest of the American people, said Caroline Levitt. | ||
One camp, officially led by Vice President Vance, believes a diplomatic solution is both preferable... | ||
And possible and that a US should be ready to make compromises to make it happen. | ||
Vance is highly involved in the Iran policy discussion. | ||
Another U.S. official said. | ||
The camp also includes Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff, who represented the U.S. at the first round of Iran talks on Saturday, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. | ||
It also gets outside support from MAGA influencer and Trump whisperer Tucker Carlson. | ||
This group is concerned that striking Iran's nuclear facilities would put U.S. soldiers in the region in harm's way when Iran strikes back, which of course it would, and of course they would. | ||
It's not even speculation. | ||
Which is whether you care about it or not, and these people seem to actually care about the well-being and continuing existence of our military. | ||
They also argue that a new conflict in the region would send oil prices skyrocketing at a sensitive time for the U.S. economy. | ||
And again, I just have to ask, I mean, the way this was presented in a headline from America First Post yesterday was, you know, Trump team split. | ||
These people are on the side of bomb Iran, and these people are on the side of diplomatic solution. | ||
It's like, wouldn't you think... | ||
A quick, just a glancing review of the last 25 years of American history, it should settle that debate. | ||
It should settle that debate. | ||
If the question is, should we start another war in the Middle East? | ||
The answer is, are you insane? | ||
The answer is, where have you been for the last 20 years, 25 years, where that exact suggestion And... | ||
Has all but destroyed our entire country and certainly made the region a hellish mess of conflicting extremist groups. | ||
No, we shouldn't go to war in the Middle East. | ||
Do I need to? | ||
Does this need to be said? | ||
Folks, war in the Middle East is a bad idea. | ||
We shouldn't do it. | ||
I mean, is this? | ||
The other camp, which includes National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, is highly suspicious of Iran and extremely skeptical of the chances of a deal that significantly rolls back Iran's nuclear programs, U.S. officials say. | ||
So senators close to Trump like Lindsey Graham and Tom Cotton also hold that view. | ||
So yeah, I mean, this is the split, right? | ||
This is why we talk about Israel so much. | ||
It's like this does tend to be the dividing line between America First and the deep staters. | ||
You have warmongering, deep state, uniparty psychopaths like Lindsey Graham or kind of slimeballs like Marco Rubio. | ||
I know Alex is really impressed with Marco Rubio these days. | ||
I'm impressed by him, but I'm still very suspicious of him. | ||
You would think that because he's at least at the very minimum politically savvy and he's good at politics. | ||
So he knows that allegiance to Trump and loyalty to Trump is just necessary for his future. | ||
I think Marco Rubio is trying to position himself as ridiculous as it is, but he'll be one of the people that is looking to seize the torch from Donald Trump and co-opt his groundswell populist support. | ||
But I'm not falling for it personally. | ||
I think he's impressive. | ||
He's good at what he does because he's a good politician. | ||
And he's doing what he needs to for his own self-aggrandizement. | ||
But it's almost like he's playing the part of loyal convert a little too well. | ||
A little too well. | ||
I haven't actually seen reasons why he's shifted positions from a neocon to a MAGA America first. | ||
He's never enunciated that or elucidated that for the American people. | ||
He's just like, yeah, I'm totally MAGA now. | ||
And it's like, you are. | ||
I mean, he's doing good. | ||
He's doing well. | ||
Doing a good thing as Secretary of State. | ||
But how sincere is it? | ||
And is he not just playing the part he thinks he needs to play for now? | ||
Suffice to say, he's no Hillary Clinton. | ||
He's not out there as a maverick in Secretary of State starting war. | ||
So he is loyal and he's loyal to Trump's agenda. | ||
So that is good. | ||
Again, I want to get more into this, but basically Israel is trying really, really hard to pressure Trump into bombing Iran. | ||
Trump resisted. | ||
And it says in this, Netanyahu's White House visit last week was tense, particularly when he and Trump discussed Iran. | ||
Quote, Sticking it to Netanyahu, the same dynamic you saw in public is what happened in private, referring to the press conference in which Trump revealed Iran talks and Netanyahu was visibly uncomfortable. | ||
Trump and BBC things very differently on the issue of a military strike in Iran. | ||
Some of the deal camp see Netanyahu's insistence that Iran must eliminate its entire nuclear program under any deal is unrealistic. | ||
And all I'm saying is keep your aircraft carriers and battleships away from Israeli waters. | ||
Welcome back, folks. | ||
We'll be joined by Lisa Logan momentarily. | ||
Let's touch on Letitia James, shall we? | ||
Let's touch on I'll bring down Donald Trump herself. | ||
She's panicking. | ||
She's starting to panic. | ||
And it's funny because basically it's been discovered that she, in fact, committed the same or similar fraud that she was accusing Donald Trump of. | ||
It's almost always a projection. | ||
But there's a hilarious complication in this. | ||
Long story short, she wanted to buy a house in Virginia with a family member or something. | ||
But in order to get a better deal on the loan, she claimed that she would make it her permanent residence. | ||
That would be her primary residence, which is in Virginia. | ||
Now, according to the New York State Constitution, if the Attorney General leaves New York and no longer considers New York their They are no longer the attorney general and the position is vacated. | ||
So it would depend on the timeline when exactly this happened, but she's in a position right now where either she committed fraud because she was lying about wanting to make the Virginia House her primary residence and therefore should be charged. | ||
Because that's exactly what she was going after Trump for. | ||
Remember, the whole thing about Trump was you overvaluated your properties and used that to get a loan. | ||
That was fraud to get a better deal on a loan. | ||
That's literally exactly what she did. | ||
So either she committed the same fraud she was going after Donald Trump for because she was lying about making her primary residence, or it really is her primary residence, which means she wasn't technically Attorney General of New York, and none of what she did during that time period was legal or valid because she had She abandoned her post. | ||
And in that case, she's not actually the Attorney General, but she's still receiving the checks for it. | ||
That's another layer of fraud. | ||
So she's really kind of screwed here because either she was lying and it was fraud or she wasn't lying and she's not Attorney General of New York. | ||
That's a tough spot to be in, especially for somebody who's made a spectacle out of themselves going after Donald Trump for this exact crime that she is now accused of committing. | ||
And it's basically guaranteed that she did, in fact, commit that crime. | ||
Let's go now to clip number—we'll go to clip number 24, actually, because—and she was using taxpayer funds to fund private jets. | ||
And also, why do you think she was buying a house in Virginia? | ||
She thought she was going to be a part of Kamala Harris's administration. | ||
She was buying a house in Virginia because she is doing all of this for her own— I mean, | ||
and she would therefore be rewarded for her, you know, targeting of Kamala's political opponent. | ||
it's just, it's the worst. | ||
They're the worst. | ||
And she's freaking out. | ||
And you can tell she's freaking out. | ||
Because she's resorting to acting like she's a ghetto ratchet chick that's actually standing up for black people because she's like, please protect me. | ||
Please help me. | ||
Please, black people, come to my rescue and say it's racist to attack me. | ||
Hilarious, frantic, desperate, panicking from old Tish James. | ||
Let's go to clip 24 now. | ||

None of us can do it without our audience's support. | ||
And I'm very happy to welcome once again my guest Lisa Logan to the program. | ||
Lisa Logan is a parent who gained notoriety for exposing the agenda behind social-emotional learning programs that are destroying children's minds across America. | ||
She's with us today to discuss another bombshell that she published with Ben Warren at Infowars titled The Deceptive Democracy Movement Threatening America's Republic. | ||
Although she's taken a break from media interviews to focus on her family, you can still find a wealth of resources to educate yourself and protect your family by checking out her Lisa, | ||
thank you so much for joining us once again. | ||
Oh, pleasure to be with you, Harrison. | ||
Thanks for having me on. | ||
I broke from my break. | ||
From social media and everything else to come on your show today. | ||
Well, we appreciate it. | ||
Hopefully this isn't falling off the wagon. | ||
Hopefully you don't get sucked back into the addiction once again. | ||
It's much healthier to be disconnected from a lot of this stuff, which I know is a lot of what you support in terms of educating kids and raising them in a normal fashion. | ||
But tell me about this article. | ||
So the article is at Infowars.com, The Deceptive Democracy Movement. | ||
Threatening America's Republic. | ||
This is something that for people who know, every time you hear our democracy, you cringe a little bit and you want to yell, we're not a democracy. | ||
What are you talking about? | ||
Tell us about this article at Infowars.com. | ||
Right. Well, I start kind of with this very charming story of this woman, sexual role story, this woman who came up to Ben Franklin after he signed the Constitution. | ||
And she asked him, what kind of... | ||
Government did you create for us? | ||
And he said, a republic, if you can keep it. | ||
And this article not only talks about why that's so important and why that helps us to have the freedoms and the rights that we have here in this country, but then it also covers and exposed the very real faux, I call them faux, pro-democracy movement because they're using the veneer of pro-democracy to push all sorts of solutions to the very real political... | ||
Polarization that our country is facing to provide their solutions that are actually going to drive us further away from being a constitutional republic. | ||
When we see this across the globe, this is a big talking point now. | ||
It's our democracy. | ||
It's why we're going to war in Ukraine. | ||
It's what Europe keeps championing. | ||
And of course, for anybody that actually pays attention to what they do, it's an absurd claim for them to make because... | ||
Practically everything they do is in total contradiction, complete rejection of what the people in their countries actually want. | ||
So, I mean, what does democracy even mean as it's used in the media these days? | ||
I mean, I see it deployed almost exclusively as a psychological tool to convince people to go along with something. | ||
That's why I did a skit of a pitch meeting about the war in Ukraine, and the sort of dumb character playing the American public. | ||
You know, it keeps going, oh, democracy, I love that word, right? | ||
There's something about the word that when you say, you know, they go, oh, we're fighting democracy, and Americans go, ooh, democracy, yay, and then they stop asking questions and go along with whatever it is. | ||
So it's really just used as a tool at this point, isn't it? | ||
Oh, definitely. | ||
And that's a very normal tool that people who are trying to change, do like a color revolution in a country, will use to kind of... | ||
Get people who might otherwise disagree to just, like you said, just go along with the program and not question anything. | ||
And actually, this is what makes this movement of movements or this network of networks of people or organizations and funders behind this actually so dangerous because conservative states are falling for it. | ||
And they come to the table with these groups to have these supposed Yeah, | ||
and again, we see this deployed so often. | ||
It's almost like democracy has entered into this class of words like racism or anti-Semitism. | ||
It's just a word they can apply to something in order to convince people, even though it may be totally unrelated. | ||
Drive to just make voting secure and have voter ID. | ||
And they say this is destroying democracy because we have to get as many people voting as possible regardless of who they are or how qualified they are. | ||
So it's often used. | ||
They're basically saying you don't support democracy if you want to have any controls of your voting system. | ||
And I mean, it's a very powerful tool and it's successfully used. | ||
So how do you argue against this? | ||
I love the terms from this article, network of networks, movements of movements. | ||
Can you explain that first, just what you mean by network of networks and movement of movements? | ||
I'm not going to bore your audience with the whole long history of this Better Together America ecosystem, but really this goes all the way back to 2003, to something called the Reuniting America Project. | ||
Actually, many of the same players that were involved at that point are now involved in this kind of reboot that the Biden administration did starting in about 2022 at the United Bestands Summit, which I cover in the article. | ||
Many of those same people are involved and there's this huge map that I found called the Better Together America Ecosystem Map and it has various arms and so the people who were involved earlier in 2003 are listed as wise sages on the Better Together America, like they're magicians or something, | ||
right? And yeah, so this is, you know, it's funny you see people who you'd think would not normally work together, like the Rockefellers, the Fetzer organization, which you and I have covered extensively, because they're the people behind social-emotional learning and this whole push to kind of indoctrinate children into this, | ||
you know, one world, you know, worldview. | ||
And then the Koch brothers, or the Koch Institute, because I guess they're just one of them now, who... | ||
Support some good things on the right, but while on the left, they're also supporting some pretty bad things as well. | ||
So it's kind of interesting how these are working together to be the funders behind this movement and then have all these various splinter organizations, interfaith, people who again are promoting these democracy-type civic learning organizations. | ||
That are then pushing these very leftist progressive political policies. | ||
Yeah, and I was just looking at that map that they're showing on the screen for our radio viewers. | ||
I mean, it's one of the things that sort of continually slaps me in the face, especially over the last couple of months since USAID and Doge revealed it. | ||
I mean, you just have this, I always refer to it as the fractal conspiracy, but it's like the more you dig, the more groups you find. | ||
The more you dig into those groups, you find those groups are composed of other groups. | ||
It's overwhelming the networks that we're at war with right now. | ||
I mean, all of these, it's like you can only imagine the thousands of people working every day, all day, eight hours a day, five days a week, 50 weeks a year, working to destroy our republic. | ||
And that is what they're doing. | ||
That is their mission. | ||
They can dress it up however they want. | ||
This is who we're up against. | ||
And it's just shocking how gigantic this facade is. | ||
Yeah, it's mind-numbing. | ||
And it makes you think like, oh my gosh, can we fight this? | ||
And I absolutely think that we can. | ||
And I'm so grateful to Infowars for having me on today because I think this is not your mainstream news. | ||
Nobody's covering this fake pro-democracy movement. | ||
And it's very dangerous to America. | ||
And working very, I mean, it is in towns right now in Wisconsin and Tennessee and especially right here in my hometown of Utah. | ||
Working to literally go against the First Amendment and our election systems. | ||
Yeah, and I just want to read this paragraph from this article. | ||
You talk about this summit. | ||
It was the Unite Summit. | ||
What was it called? | ||
You mentioned it just a second ago. | ||
The United We Stand Summit. | ||
That was the exact, yeah. | ||
So during this United We Stand Summit in 2022, and I'm sure a lot of... | ||
Our audience remembers this because we showed clips from it. | ||
During the summit, Biden asserted that, quote, domestic terrorism rooted in white supremacy is the greatest terrorist threat to America today. | ||
I thought it would have been the millions of unidentified foreigners crossing our border and setting up shop. | ||
But no, apparently it's us. | ||
It's those evil white people. | ||
In an effort to foster dialogue and find solutions to combat this urgent threat of hatred and extremism, Biden announced the launch of a new citizens initiative and website Dignity.us, Dignity.us, that would be coordinated by a seemingly bipartisan team, a former White House Domestic Policy Council | ||
members, and funded by a billion-dollar investment from a Rockefeller, Fetzer, Koch group called the New Pluralists. | ||
This initiative became the placeholder for the eventual rollout of the Dignity Index, which the original Dignity.us, | ||
So what is the dignity index and how is this going to be used? | ||
Well, this is a way to rate speech. | ||
Now, it's interesting. | ||
I actually went and saw something that Timothy Shriver, who is the main guy behind this and his organization, UNITE, now he's Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s cousin, and he's also the board chair of CASEL. | ||
And interestingly enough, John Bridgeland, who was one of those White House Policy Council members you just mentioned from the article, also is an advisor to CASEL and a co-founder of UNITE. | ||
And basically this index Take speech and it says, does it contain contempt? | ||
And it has this rating scale, I think it's 1 to 8 or 1 to 9, based on the type of contempt that it has. | ||
And it will score. | ||
And specifically, like for instance, and I mentioned this in the article, Senator Lee, my senator, had a debate with his opponent. | ||
And he rated lower on the dignity index because he pointed out that basically Evan McMullin was lying about him. | ||
In this debate and saying that he was a part of this, you know, plot to try to overthrow the 2020 election. | ||
And so he said he had like a, you know, you know, basically a contemptuous relationship with the truth or something. | ||
It was something very benign. | ||
He didn't even call him straight out of law. | ||
I have it right. | ||
He got raked lower. | ||
Yeah, I have it right here. | ||
Utah Senator Mike Lee scored lower on the dignity index than challenger Evan McMullin because he pointed out that McMullin was making sentences with a, quote, cavalier reckless disregard for the truth. | ||
Well, how dare he? | ||
How undignified, to point out a lie. | ||
Right. And then I made the argument like, would you rate higher if you lied with dignity? | ||
I don't know. | ||
And this is the problem with anything like this. | ||
It's in the eye of the beholder. | ||
Right? So who gets to define contempt? | ||
And this is the problem. | ||
So, like, again, I talked to Timothy Shriver just a week ago. | ||
And I had a 30-minute conversation with him and kind of challenged this whole thing. | ||
And he's like, you know, well, we found, you know, he's like, what's the biggest inhibitor of free speech? | ||
And I said, well, for me, you know, I might use language of my friend over here. | ||
You know, I may curse like a sailor with her and then not, you know, not with you or Governor Herbert over there because I'm reading the room. | ||
And he said, well, no, it's actually people's fear of contempt of the people in the room and what they will do or say or think of them if they say certain things. | ||
He's like, we're just trying to remove contempt from the room. | ||
And I was like, that doesn't make sense because, again, the whole ethos of the Dignity Index and what they're doing is they're creating apps that will be able to remove speech. | ||
From, you know, posts or journalists' articles if they contain contempt. | ||
And so we're actually talking about removing our protections for free speech, not enhancing them. | ||
It's just so, it's so crazy. | ||
It's just such a subjective measure to take. | ||
Yeah, very dignified, the images that we're seeing on screen right now. | ||
But it's entirely arbitrary. | ||
It's entirely subjective. | ||
And it is completely at odds with reality. | ||
And that is really the thing that concerns me the most. | ||
And again, the thing we just read explains it. | ||
I mean, you've got Evan McMullin lying. | ||
Apparently that's dignified. | ||
But pointing out that he's lying is undignified. | ||
So it has nothing, even though he was lying. | ||
So it's like... | ||
They're basically saying, well, what you're saying is true, but we don't want you to say it. | ||
So don't. | ||
Because it makes us feel uncomfortable. | ||
Because we feel contempt when you tell the truth. | ||
I mean, this is just, it's so nonsensical. | ||
And of course, it's for them. | ||
It's just for them. | ||
And is this solipsism? | ||
Is this they're incapable of understanding that there's a world outside of themselves? | ||
And they're just like, if I feel bad, it means it's bad. | ||
Because when you say that, you know, Infowars is white supremacy and white supremacy is domestic terror. | ||
It's like, yeah, I feel contempt at that moment, but they don't give a damn what I feel, do they? | ||
So it's totally, from their perspective, it's a solipsistic or just a total subjective view of whether something is contemptible or not. | ||
So it's just thought control, mind control, speech control. | ||
That's all it is. | ||
They're calling it... | ||
They're claiming it's because of dignity, but it's just what they're essentially saying is we don't like what you say, we're going to give you a low score and silence you. | ||
I mean, this is sick. | ||
Right, and this is exactly the Hegelian dialectic, and they do this all the time. | ||
They create the problem of political polarization. | ||
I mean, we've seen people being characterized as violent or, again, a threat to democracy if they have a particular stance on political issues or if they voted for a particular person for president. | ||
And really, it's created this very intense, I would say, for the last eight years, wouldn't you? | ||
I mean, really, since like 2016, it's really been amping up. | ||
I feel like they created that problem, and then what they do is they elicit a reaction. | ||
So, oh no, now neighbors and friends and family members can't even sit around the dinner table together. | ||
You have people completely disowning their families, or you have neighbors throwing rocks at their neighbors' cars because they have a Trump sign in their guard. | ||
I mean, this is a very real problem that they've created. | ||
And then they swoop in with their solution, but the solution they offer really... | ||
Is for a particular agenda. | ||
And what we see here, it's to actually move America away from being a constitutional republic, where our rights are protected by the Constitution, and into this mob rule, popular vote type democracy. | ||
Yeah, I mean, the whole point of a republic is to protect the minority, right? | ||
So, like, that is the point of the republic, is like, just because you disagree... | ||
With the 20 other people in the room doesn't mean those 20 other people get to then impose their beliefs on you. | ||
You get to stand even alone if you want to, but in a small group, you get to believe what you believe. | ||
And to me, that is... | ||
It's these words. | ||
I guess they were going to have to come after dignity eventually. | ||
They're running out of words to apply to their tyrannical measures to disguise and cover up what they're really all about. | ||
Of course, they'll use anything. | ||
They'll use safety or national security or in this place they're going after. | ||
But again, it gets crazy. | ||
It gets really crazy here. | ||
And I really encourage everybody to go share this article at Infowars.com. | ||
Again, the headline, the deceptive, quote, democracy movement threatening America's republic. | ||
Because you both get into sort of the underlying philosophy of what these words even mean. | ||
I mean, every day we call ourselves Republicans and Democrats, but do we even understand what that means and philosophically what we're saying we support when we say these things? | ||
And I want to get into all that, but also you're talking about what's actually going on right now, the way these things are being created, the Dignity Index amongst others. | ||
But you say this, the Dignity Index says they're just trying to disincentivize the option of using contempt in political discussion, claiming that fear of this is the biggest inhibitor of free speech, so free speech can supposedly flourish. | ||
This doesn't make sense, since our actual objective is to normalize the arbitrary measuring and scoring of all speech, so even worse than a social credit score. | ||
It's like a real time social credit score, so speech that they deem. | ||
But this is where it gets really crazy. | ||
According to their website, they're working with developers to create AI tools that journalists can use to score political speech, browser extensions that help people that people can use to keep contempt out of their news feeds and apps that can flag contempt and personal messages | ||
before users post them or send them. | ||
Is this being done in tandem? | ||
Like, purposely in tandem with Meta and other social media companies going, we're not fact-checking anymore. | ||
You know, that whole fact-checking thing, that was a mistake. | ||
We're not going to do that anymore. | ||
Like, basically, they tried to claim, like, oh, we're going to silence people because what they're saying is false. | ||
It's fake news. | ||
We're going to fact-check them. | ||
That didn't work as well as they want. | ||
So now they're, like, going to an even lower threshold to, you know, silence people. | ||
Now it's just this arbitrary, subjective. | ||
Personal interpretation of your words. | ||
It doesn't have to be true or false. | ||
Now it's about dignity. | ||
It seems more than coincidental that this is happening at the same time that fact-checking as a practice is going away. | ||
Well, I think it's interesting to note that many of the same people who are involved in this Better Together America ecosystem are also involved in Project Liberty. | ||
So I don't know if it's something that you've covered yet on your show, but I would definitely encourage you to look into it. | ||
And this whole idea that they're going to buy TikTok and have it be a citizen's forum, but if you look at the people and organizations behind that, I don't think that's their intent at all. | ||
I think they intend to make something, again, that's, oh, we're all citizen-owned, right? | ||
We get to promote dignity. | ||
Well, how are we going to do that? | ||
Oh, the dignity index, right? | ||
And it's just, you know, It's almost like I wish they were more clever. | ||
It's just so obvious what they do. | ||
I mean, they want censorship, but they can't just say that. | ||
And so they have to come up with something else. | ||
But at the end of the day, it's just censorship. | ||
You know, the guy that's breaking into your house isn't going to say, hey, I'm scoping out your house. | ||
He's going to say, no, I'm a plumber and I'm here to, you know, look, you know, I'm here from the city to look at your pipes. | ||
It's just a lie. | ||
They're just lying about their intentions because their real intentions are objectionable and you wouldn't let them do it. | ||
So it's just, it's so obvious and blatant the way they do this. | ||
They go, we want to silence Americans. | ||
They aren't going to let us. | ||
So instead we'll say we're supporting dignity and people go along with this. | ||
It's like, what is wrong with people? | ||
Well, and what's wild is, you know, I've tried to tell people in my legislature about this, and it wasn't until I actually found that they created a LinkedIn group called the Intra Movement Impact Project. | ||
And if you go into that LinkedIn and their post, it actually goes directly to their Google Drive and their doc. | ||
So I've listened to quite a few of their two-hour-long sessions where they were planning what they're doing with this movement, and it is very clear from the rhetoric that these people are all leftists pretending to be centrists. | ||
And it's so crazy that they've been allowed to kind of Push this so far. | ||
And it's not just free speech, unfortunately. | ||
Again, the ranked choice voting is a big problem. | ||
My state, 23 states, because of the influence of Shriver and his organizations and John Bridges, 23 states adopted ranked choice voting. | ||
We've been pushing back. | ||
And I try to explain in the article how ranked choice voting works and why it's a little muddy, makes it easier for elections to be stolen. | ||
And it reduces voter trust in the elections because it's such a convoluted process. | ||
On top of that, you know, you have groups like Starts With Us. | ||
And actually, you'll find this interesting. | ||
When I first did a thread about this map that I found, the Better Together American ecosystem, and kind of pointed out how it brought together several of my research strands, this group actually commented, and I didn't even mention them in my thread. | ||
And they're like, we're just trying to create... | ||
Citizen diplomacy and, you know, managed conflict. | ||
And we get accused by groups on the right and the left for, you know, having a secret agenda. | ||
So I decided to light them up a little bit and said, well, do you have a secret agenda? | ||
I did a whole thread. | ||
On basically how they were fooling towns in Wisconsin and Tennessee, saying they were coming together to have these great conversations, but they were really pushing gun laws that would restrict people's Second Amendment rights and also comprehensive sexuality education in Wisconsin. | ||
And it's all kind of hidden in secret, but on the surface, these groups look like they're just trying to bring reds and blues and others together to have really good conversations and attack polarization. | ||
It's just so deceitful, and it really is about education at the end of the day, educating people just to understand what's being done, what's really behind some of these things, why you don't have to believe them when they lie. | ||
People need to know what's going on because otherwise all you have to go on is what they're telling you, and they're telling you, hey, we're about diplomacy, we're about discussion, what's wrong with that? | ||
They're not going to tell you that they're actually using this as a Trojan horse to sneak in all these horrible things. | ||

And I want to get back into republic versus democracy and the way that this word democracy is being used and weaponized and dignity as well. | ||
I want to get to that in just a second. | ||
But this is just broken. | ||
I've got to get your input on it, Lisa, since so much of what you do is about education. | ||
This is posted 29 minutes ago by Donald Trump on truth. | ||
Congratulations to my friends, Governor Greg Abbott, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, and Speaker Dustin Burroughs, along with Texas legislators for finally passing school choice, which I strongly endorsed. | ||
This is a gigantic victory for students and parents in the great state of Texas, and we will soon be sending education back to all the states where it belongs. | ||
So apparently that just passed in the state legislature. | ||
School choice charging ahead. | ||
What's your take on this? | ||
I'm gonna have a very unpopular opinion here and because I actually was able to find out much like here you know something that sounds good actually has bad intentions that The United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization is probably very happy at this moment. | ||
Texas is one of the largest school districts. | ||
They have some of the most students and really they've been saying for a while now on their beckon documents that they want to use this whole decentralization of education to actually be able to through the accountability that comes with it of that public money going into private education being able to force their globalist agenda. | ||
I'm actually not happy about that passing. | ||
Interesting. No, I love hearing stuff like that. | ||
I mean, look, that's the position I'm in like 90% of the time with Trump. | ||
I'm like, yeah, this is good. | ||
But is it though, actually, if we look at it, is this really what we want? | ||
So you're saying that basically because now they'll have private schools being given, you know, using vouchers and the state will be paying for the... | ||
For the tuition, that that then gives a right for the state to have a say in what they teach. | ||
And so it's opening up private schools or homeschooling groups. | ||
It's opening them to investigation or oversight by the government. | ||
Correct. And, you know, here we are talking about the difference between conservatives and, you know, Democrats. | ||
And really, we don't want more government, right? | ||
And here we are, unfortunately, as Republicans, kind of pushing more government involved in private entities, right, in education. | ||
And so I look at this, you know, especially because, you know, it's kind of like, okay, every student gets the same amount of money. | ||
It's really... | ||
A redistribution program for wealth. | ||
And so, yeah, I don't think it's conservative. | ||
I really hope they were able to get some good amendments in there to protect homeschoolers. | ||
Because, you know, UNESCO says all the time, this is how we do it, right? | ||
This is how we do it. | ||
They can't get to those homeschoolers and those kids in the private schools to force their agenda like they can in public education. | ||
So this is going to be a cash cow, I think, for a lot of private entities. | ||
And an unfortunate situation for Texas. | ||
Dang, because it's a cash cow, then they'll be able to say, hey, we will revoke your right to participate in this unless you teach A, B, and C. Wow, yeah, that's not good. | ||
That's not good at all. | ||
No, I'm with you. | ||
I mean, that's... | ||
unidentified
|
I wish I could celebrate it. | |
I wish I could celebrate it, Harrison, because, you know, at the end of the day, I think kids who are in failing schools should have options, I think. | ||
But we've conflated the options of being able to go outside your school district, I mean, which is real school choice, right? | ||
Or being able to homeschool your child instead of having them in public school with the whole idea of having public money kind of follow the child. | ||
Interesting. Interesting. | ||
Yeah, I'll have to have a big old think about that because I tend to like school choice from what I know about it. | ||
But no, that's very convincing. | ||
And it sort of ties into everything, right? | ||
So I was just thinking about how this ties into the republic versus democracy and how really a republic is much more local focused. | ||
And I'm going to get into it. | ||
So that relates to school choice and education going back to the states and focusing on your state government rather than the national government to get things done. | ||
And I was going to say, so what do people need to do now that this is happening? | ||
And I guess the answer, as always, would be pay attention to local elections, pay attention to your local government and what they're doing and the programs they're participating in. | ||
But it sort of runs the gamut across everything that we're talking about in the sense that... | ||
They can't just come out and say, hey, we want to crush private schools and force them to comply to our orders. | ||
So instead of what they say is, boy, have we got a program for you. | ||
You want to make a lot more money? | ||
Well, guess what? | ||
School choice. | ||
You're welcome. | ||
Knowing full well that their real intentions are manipulating people, right? | ||
So again, it's this, you can't get in. | ||
It's like the vampire. | ||
The vampire can't break into your house. | ||
He has to be invited. | ||
So they have to be invited into your system before they can destroy it. | ||
So it really, I see a lot of through lines here. | ||
Yeah, and especially, you know, we just talked about the new pluralists, Rockefeller, Fetzer, Koch organization. | ||
The Koch Institute has been very much behind this whole school choice movement, but then they also fund things like 4.0 schools that teach vote kindergarten, right? | ||
So you have to see there's like a kind of a, oh, those two things don't make sense, right? | ||
And you have Walmart. | ||
They're supporting stuff like that, but they also support teaching kids gender ideology in schools. | ||
So I don't know how you reconcile those things. | ||
Wow. And if the crew can bring up that picture, that was a great picture the crew found because I guess it's a protester against school choice. | ||
And they say SB2 allows taxpayers to fund schools that can discriminate based on religion, disability, or sexuality. | ||
So that's exactly what you're talking about. | ||
The people that were against school choice were saying, hey, if this goes through, then we're going to be sending taxpayer money to like... | ||
Christian schools or schools that divide kids by sex and teach them independently. | ||
And so, of course, that's not going to fly. | ||
Wow, yeah, that's a very interesting double-edged sword they're dealing with here. | ||
But let's get back to our final words on this school choice movement. | ||
Yeah, I just wanted to point out, just kind of expanding on what you just said, one of the concerns of... | ||
Very real concerns in Texas is they're seeing these kind of radical Muslim schools also pop up where they're teaching that America is bad. | ||
I mean, we already kind of say, you know, it's bad that kids are indoctrinated in public schools, but these schools are going to be able to get public funding to teach kids to become, you know, protesters in our own country. | ||
Nothing's easy, is it? | ||
There's no easy solutions out there today. | ||
Man. Dang. | ||
All right. | ||
Well, I'm glad to know it. | ||
I'll have to look into that a little bit more. | ||
Wow. Okay. | ||
Interesting stuff. | ||
We'll have to post that. | ||
I want to see people's response to that on X because I imagine this will be another thing that we'll get some conflicting views about. | ||
But I do want to get back to this article. | ||
Again, the article at Infowars.com by Lisa Logan in combination with Ben Warren. | ||
The deceptive democracy movement threatening America's republic. | ||
And I wish we could spend more time just sort of talking about history and stuff on this show because there's so much breaking news. | ||
We constantly have to cover it. | ||
But 1913, the year 1913. | ||
It was such an important year. | ||
And as I was researching that year, it's the year that the income tax was created, the Federal Reserve was created, the ADL was founded, the Rockefeller Foundation was founded, by the way. | ||
It was the year that Henry Ford invented the assembly line, which I think was a major shift in consciousness of the elite going, oh my gosh, we can run this. | ||
Country like an ant hive. | ||
This is amazing. | ||
We don't have to have specialty craftsmen anymore. | ||
Everybody can just be a cog in a machine, and we'll run the machine. | ||
Isn't that great? | ||
And so 1913 was this major year, and as I was researching that, I stumbled on the 17th Amendment. | ||
Now, the 17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution completely changed how we get senators. | ||
It used to be, and I had no idea about this until like a couple years ago, it used to be that... | ||
We would vote for our state legislature, and then the state legislature would appoint senators to go to D.C. And so until 1913, there was no ability for a normal citizen to vote on a senator. | ||
It wasn't a statewide popularity contest. | ||
Instead, they had to win over the legislature, which itself was composed of a whole bunch of different little populations. | ||
It hit me. | ||
It was like, oh right, that's a republic. | ||
That's what a republic is supposed to be. | ||
We're not supposed to be voting directly for the people in our federal government. | ||
We're supposed to vote for the people that concern themselves with our locality, and then they're supposed to send people to represent our interests in D.C. And it just kind of blew my mind that it was like, man, since 1913, systematically the republic structure of our The government has just been piece by piece turned into a democracy or turned to more and more democratic. | ||
And I think it has to do with the ability to rig elections. | ||
It's a lot easier to rig one big statewide election, popularity contest between two candidates, than it would be to rig all 100 little legislature elections that eventually combine to appoint the senator. | ||
I mean, the move away from the Republican construct has been very, very long going, and it's only getting more intense. | ||
And I think that has everything to do with the ability, the ease with which democracies can be manipulated. | ||
And it's actually more difficult to manipulate republics because it's so decentralized and sort of compartmentalized. | ||
Definitely. I agree with you. | ||
And I think our founding fathers were smart like that. | ||
They looked around at this very mishmash group forming our original constitutional republic and they're like,"These people have really different beliefs about a lot of things: religion, the world, how we should do things." But as long as these people were represented in our government, | ||
they felt like, well, at least our little community, we can have our little tribe over here, but at least we're represented. | ||
And once we do away with that representative democracy, you know, now, especially because we're spread out so far, people like California and New York who have very, very different values than people in, say, like Oklahoma. | ||
Are you going to have a much bigger say in how our country is run than these quote-unquote flyover states, right? | ||
Right. So I think that that's a really important distinction, and we need to have representatives who swear an oath to the Constitution, swear to uphold our rights and our freedoms, instead of a group mob rule who said, | ||
well, we're going to dictate what your freedoms and then, of course, your responsibilities toward the rest of everybody else are. | ||
Yeah, and of course, it goes from being appointed by the state legislature and being sent to D.C. to represent your state. | ||
What's best for Texas? | ||
What do the people of Texas want? | ||
Rather, it contributes to sort of the two-party control system where it's like now the person doesn't represent Texas. | ||
They represent the Democratic people of Texas. | ||
They represent the Democrat program, not the program for their state in particular. | ||
So again, I think it's important to actually describe these things because As I said earlier, we all every day talk about people being Republicans or Democrats. | ||
As if it's just a party label, but it's beyond that. | ||
Like when I say I'm a Republican, yeah, I support the Republican Party. | ||
But what I mean is in the same way I say I'm a Christian because I believe in Jesus Christ. | ||
I'm a Republican because I believe the republic system is the best system to maintain both a functional government that can work well while giving people a say without resorting to mob rule. | ||
I mean, the Republican system is the best. | ||
I don't even think most Americans could differentiate between a democracy and a republic. | ||
These are just labels to them, you know, like colors on a sports team. | ||
I think that's important to say, Harrison, because in the midst of them, this whole pro-democracy movement is this move to teach kids civil literacy. | ||
But again, that's a Trojan horse because they're teaching them civics in a way that values the collective, not their individual rights. | ||
And so, yeah, we do need to teach Americans the difference and they need to know it. | ||
But in the name of coming together and just agreeing better. | ||
And I say this in the last side of my article, we could be disagreeing better into a very different system in America here that looks nothing like our constitutional republic. | ||
Yeah, and they really do love blurring that line between a republic and a democracy. | ||
But again, these are, in effect, they're just labels, they're just very convenient, like almost magical words, where again, it's utterly... | ||
Disconnected and unrelated to the reality on the ground when they're saying we have to support the Ukrainian democracy while the president is unelected and is serving beyond his term. | ||
Or when they say, you know, to preserve democracy, Germany has to ban the most popular party, AFD. | ||
It's like it's so contradictory. | ||
It would be outrageous and it would never fly if the population was educated on this type of stuff. | ||
But it's infuriating how effective they are at this. | ||
So they just go, it's democracy. | ||
We have to ban the popular position. | ||
And people go, yep, makes sense. | ||
It's like, no, it doesn't. | ||
This is all crazy. | ||
So it's all about education at the end of the day, isn't it? | ||
Oh, 100%. | ||
And really, knowing their tactics. | ||
And generally what they do is they take a word like resilience or democracy. | ||
They create the conditions in order to experience democracy. | ||
So I have friends who work at Family Watch International, and she reached out to me and she said, I'm seeing this democracy being used internationally as a way to sneak in all sorts of horrible policies, like this comprehensive sexuality education stuff that teaches kids as young as five about sexual stimulation and pleasure. | ||
It's terrible how they're using it as a kind of... | ||
Smoke and mirror kind of system in order to bring in leftist policies that these countries in Africa, they want nothing to do with them. | ||
Right. Right. | ||
And good for them for resisting it, not falling for the placating words that they use to sneak this stuff in. | ||
And so, you know, what do people need to do to fight back against this beyond just being aware of it? | ||
Obviously, education and understanding where they're coming from, what they're actually doing, massively important, and we've covered that. | ||
But, like, now that people know, what can they do to put that knowledge into action? | ||
Well, please share the article, first of all. | ||
I'm going to put that out there for a reason. | ||
And I think, you know, it's funny, a lot of us parent activists across the country talk to each other. | ||
And we've been talking about, you know, instead of kind of participating in these pro-democracy discussions that are facilitated and that, you know, a lot of times use these deceptive Delphi techniques to get to agree on a predetermined outcome, we should be talking to our neighbors. | ||
The way we... | ||
Combat polarization is by actually door knocking. | ||
I think we need to get back into door knocking and talking to our neighbors and being like, hey, you know, I just want to let you know what's going on in our little town here. | ||
And because I think the movement to change the polarization in our country is actually going to come from the grassroots. | ||
It's not going to come from some top-down solution. | ||
And I think that, yeah, we do need to educate people that these groups that are saying they're one thing are actually doing another. | ||
Yeah, absolutely. | ||
I mean, how valuable do you think it'd be? | ||
Because, you know, just as I'm looking at this article, I mean, they have these community meetings where they say, oh, you know, we're going to come together and talk about this stuff. | ||
I mean, I don't know. | ||
I want our people in there causing disruption. | ||
I don't know. | ||
Maybe you won't call for that. | ||
But I want our people to go to their meetings and just start asking questions. | ||
Just start, like... | ||
Just getting them to either admit what they're really doing or because we know it's also dishonest. | ||
And most people that go to these meetings, I'm sure, are not as informed as you or me or anybody else that watches InfoWars. | ||
So they're going to be nodding along with the nice-sounding words. | ||
And we need our side to go in there going, this is all a lie. | ||
This is all BS. | ||
Here's what they're really doing. | ||
Here's what they're really up to. | ||
So I just want to see our side not resigned to this, not accepting. | ||
That we're incapable of fighting back against this. | ||
Yeah, these networks are massive and intertwined and well-funded, but you see what's happening with USAID. | ||
I mean, they're being attacked at multiple levels now, and we need to do our part almost as the auxiliary forces. | ||
We're not part of the main body dismantling USAID, but we can locate these local initiatives and fight back against those, and that would contribute to the overall move to rescue this country from the grasp of these insane transhumanists. | ||
Genocidal maniacs that are running our country. | ||
So if we can encourage more people to go out and actually participate in this stuff, I think we can really have a major positive effect. | ||
I agree. | ||
And actually on that big Better Together America ecosystem map that you showed there, there is some local civics hub. | ||
So if you live in one of those states that's listed there, it has the name of the project. | ||
Go check it out. | ||
Go look at what they're involved in. | ||
Go look who they're funded by. | ||
Go look at the things they're promoting kind of under this disguise of democracy and expose it. | ||
Expose it to your legislature. | ||
Expose it to your neighbors. | ||
Yeah, absolutely. | ||
And of course, America still is doing a better job than other places in retaining our Republican structure because other countries and governments weren't set up. | ||
Exactly like ours was. | ||
But I mean, you see this even more explicitly in Europe where it's just absurd. | ||
They want to have their cake and eat it too. | ||
And they want to promote democracy and do everything. | ||
They'll run over any law for the sake of democracy. | ||
But then when democracy goes against them, they say, we're not really going to do that. | ||
Actually, I mean, think about Brexit or any of the, you know. | ||
Votes that have been taken about illegal immigration, I mean, 86%, 90%. | ||
I mean, the polls differ, but it's always like a very, very, very, very high percentage in the majority who don't want immigration, and yet they get more anyway. | ||
So this whole concept of democracy is absurd. | ||
They apply it when they want. | ||
They ignore it when they want. | ||
They just use it when it's convenient and ignore it when it's inconvenient. | ||
I think people need to recognize that. | ||
And so instead of, you know, when they hear the word democracy going, ooh, yeah, I love that word. | ||
I'll do whatever you say. | ||
They need to go, hmm, democracy, that's the word that liars use to trick me. | ||
What are you really up to, right? | ||
If that's the mindset we can get people into, they won't fall for this stuff. | ||
If that's the one message that people come away with today, I think that's perfect. | ||
Yes. I mean, if something sounds too good to be true, it likely is. | ||
And especially when they're using... | ||
Misusing or misusing words that we use all the time. | ||
We get kind of sucked in by the media and the media using it. | ||
I have this whole compilation of them using, oh, threat to democracy, threat to democracy. | ||
We have to save our democracy. | ||
It's an existential threat to democracy. | ||
It's like Operation Mockingbird, right, where we're bombarded with these messages all day long. | ||
And I think to break the spell, you have to just, yeah, label it what it is because that's what they do, right? | ||
You're just saying. | ||
If something goes against their agenda, they label it, oh, it's white supremacy. | ||
Oh, it's white patriarchy and the colonialism and all these kinds of things. | ||
And they weaponize our opinions against us. | ||
And so let's kind of do a little bit of the same. | ||
Let's label it for what it is and say, nope, you're not what you're about and you're wolf in sheep's clothing and we're going to make sure everyone knows about it. | ||
Even though it might not, I don't know, is it dignified to call out a wolf that's wearing sheep's clothes? | ||
I don't know how dignified that is. | ||
I don't think it is in their eyes, no. | ||
Right? You're not allowed to go, hey, that's not a sheep, that's a wolf. | ||
It's like, whoa, sir, your score is lowering by the minute. | ||
How dare you point out reality in the face of our delusion? | ||
You can see the way their plan operates, right? | ||
They want to have this dignity score to stop you from telling the truth. | ||
It's pretty simple, actually. | ||
Kind of diabolically smart. | ||
Yeah, that's true. | ||
That's very true. | ||
There you go, sheep and wolf. | ||
And I wonder if the crew was reading my mind because the video I think they were just playing, I was going to reference and I love what Elon Musk did where he just took... | ||
People saying democracy and replaced it with bureaucracy and went, okay, this is a lot more accurate, right? | ||
When they say our democracy, what they mean is our system, our democracy, our control levers. | ||
That's what we're trying to save. | ||
And I don't know. | ||
I think that was the video that our crew was playing while you were talking. | ||
No? Maybe. | ||
Well, but they always talk about democracy. | ||
And if you replace it with the word bureaucracy, it actually becomes more accurate and true what they're saying. | ||
It is. | ||
It is true. | ||
Yeah, they're fighting against the oligarchy, but they're kind of creating one at the same time. | ||
Because literally everything they do is inverted and backwards. | ||
It's almost admirable how effectively they can invert just literally everything they do. | ||
It's just absolutely incredible. | ||
Again, the article on Infowars.com is called The Deceptive Democracy Movement Threatening America's Republic. | ||
I really do encourage you to share that link. | ||
Not just on X, not just to your followers who might have a similar mindset to you, but print it out and hand it out to your friends that won't click on a link or just learn what's in the article so you can talk about it with your friends and neighbors. | ||
Share this link, share this information, and we can do a lot to prevent it and fight back against this very subversive and deceptive movement. | ||

Amazing stuff. | ||
Thank you so much for having me. | ||
My absolute pleasure. | ||
Folks, we're coming to the end of the show, but I do want to tell you about a couple of... | ||

The etching is incredible. | ||
I'm showing you the Molon Labbe with your shield or Onnit coin from InfoWars, which I'm not sure if that's available or not. | ||
But the fundraiser coin right now is that coin with Alex Jones, which is so funny to see him avoid plugging that because he genuinely doesn't like the fact that Like, he's on a coin. | ||
He's like, I don't want to sell something with just my face on it. | ||
It just feels too, like, you know, I don't know, egotistical to him. | ||
But it's like, no, this isn't for you. | ||
It's for us. | ||
We want a coin with your face on it. | ||

Methylene blue is all the rage. | ||
But for my listeners, we've been talking about it for decades. | ||
But finally, they've got factories. | ||
They've got laboratories that are producing medical, pharmaceutical, USP grade. | ||
And so, our sponsor, thealexshonestore.com, has it right now. | ||
The very highest quality. | ||
And I've taken USP grade before, and they claim it's USP grade, and it works great. | ||
Massive energy, clarity, focus, no letdown. | ||
This is 10 times better. | ||
I'm actually scared of this. | ||
Because I've seen Robert F. Kennedy Jr., you know, take three droppers on Air Force One. | ||
I took half a dropper and I'm bounced off the walls hours later. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, we have the very best methylene blue I've ever had at the lowest price and it funds the Infowar. | ||
A total 360 win. |
