Illegal immigrants can steal IDs and then file and get payments for child tax credits fraudulently, never get prosecuted. | |
Explain how this can happen. | ||
You and your guest, Laura, were talking a lot about the deep state earlier in your show, and I would propose that the IRS is the original deep state operation. | ||

|
One of those things that we identified they want to spend billions of dollars on is to hire 87,000 more IRS agents. | |
Imagine an army of IRS agents coming after the bank accounts of hardworking families. | ||
Joseph R. Bannister, a former IRS Criminal Investigation Division special agent, has blown the whistle on an IRS fraudulently collecting federal income tax from Americans through a scheme he calls the 1040A scam. | ||
After resigning in 1999, Bannister spent over 25 years exposing what he alleges is systemic IRS fraud. | ||
Including the manipulation of internal computer systems to assess taxes, penalties, and interest against individuals who have not voluntarily filed tax returns. | ||
Bannister argues that IRS notices referencing Form 1040A in cases where no such form was filed serve as evidence of this fraud as the agency falsely inputs data to create tax liabilities. | ||
Bannister asserts that most Americans are not legally required to file federal income tax returns or pay income tax, citing the absence of a law imposing liability on the average American since 1916. | ||
He points to the IRS's own publications which state that only those liable for a tax must file a return and notes that federal law primarily imposes income tax The | ||
The 1040A scam involves the IRS allegedly inputting fraudulent codes into its computer systems, specifically referencing Form 1040A to create the appearance that individuals requested the IRS to calculate | ||
their tax liability. | ||
Bannister provides evidence from his own case where IRS notices and individual master file transcripts referenced a Form 1040A he never filed. | ||
He explains that the IRS uses the unique feature of Form 1040A, which allows filers to request tax calculations by the IRS to justify fraudulent | ||
Bannister calls for further investigation into the IRS's archaic computer systems. | ||
Which he believes are maintained to perpetuate this fraud. | ||
He suggests that the IRS's reliance on outdated technology and reluctance to provide IMF transcripts via FOIA requests conceal the scam's mechanics. | ||
Bannister urges Elon Musk, President Trump, and the Doge fraud hunters to probe the IRS's internal programming for evidence of fraudulent data manipulation. | ||
Comparing the 1040A scam to other alleged government deceptions, Bannister argues that the IRS's actions fit a broader pattern of misleading the public, defrauding Americans of trillions over decades. | ||

Well, most Americans had to write a big fat check to the government today to pay their taxes. | |
Over 100,000 federal workers are not paying their taxes. | ||
In 2021, the IRS found that almost 150,000 federal workers owe about $1.5 billion in unpaid taxes. | ||
Over 5,000 of them work at the IRS and owe $50 million in overdue taxes. | ||

It's Tuesday, April 22nd in the year of our Lord, 2025. | |
And you're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
Watch it live right now at band.video. | ||
I think it's time to blow this thing. | ||
Get everybody in the stuff together. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay, three, two, one, let's jam. | |
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
Welcome to The American Journal. | ||
unidentified
|
I'm your host Harrison Smith coming to you live this Tuesday morning. | |
Very glad to be here with you. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you to Rob Dew for hosting for me yesterday at Family in Town. | |
But I'm very excited to be back here today because we have so very, very, very much to talk about. | ||
We've got a full-fledged constitutional crisis on our hands with the Supreme Court interfering with what is clearly the prerogative of the executive branch in telling us that we have to give Due process to every single one of the tens of millions of illegal immigrants that were flown into this country, | ||
many of them on temporary protective status that apparently wasn't temporary after all. | ||
Completely outrageous, and of course it has a lot of conservatives calling for the total ignoring or actually dissolving the Supreme Court, which is troubling, but that's the situation we've sort of been forced into. | ||
So I want to get into that, obviously. | ||
We've also, we're witnessing, and this is probably the most important story, not just happening right now, but possibly in our lifetime, because right now there is a civil war going on in the Trump administration over whether or not to attack Iran. | ||
And if the pro-attacking Iran faction wins, that's World War III. | ||
And the world is destroyed, pretty much. | ||
I mean, the world as we know it will no longer exist. | ||
Because World War III will be a nuclear war. | ||
It will be the end of Western civilization. | ||
It will be the end of America. | ||
And they're pushing with everything they've got to bring that about. | ||
Well, meanwhile, the America First contingent is doing everything it can to stay the course and prevent the outbreak of a third world war. | ||
And I think a lot of stories intertwine with this. | ||
But the latest is that Pete Hegseth is under fire. | ||
It's the top story across the board. | ||
When it comes to politics, the Hegseth signal chat leaks. | ||
Oh my God, panic. | ||
Oh, it's chaos at the Pentagon. | ||
We have to do something. | ||
And of course, the reality is that Pete Hegseth doesn't want war with Iran, so they're smearing him and using a media campaign to pressure him out of office. | ||
And we'll break that down, because again... | ||
If they succeed in this media-led campaign to oust the pro-peace contingent of the Trump administration, that's World War III and there's no going back. | ||
The fate of humanity is being decided right now. | ||
On one side you have the America First Trump Associates and on the other side you have the Israel First Trump Associates. | ||
And we'll break down the nitty-gritty of that conflict because we're seeing little flashes of it. | ||
And we'll get back into that. | ||
The Pope died. | ||
Oh, yeah, also the Pope is dead, so we'll talk about that as well. | ||
We'll talk about who may be replacing him and go over just some of what's happening there. | ||
And you also have Klaus Schwab stepping down from the WEF. | ||
We also have the ongoing fallout of the Austin Metcalf. | ||
This situation, Carmelo Anthony, more chaos about that over the weekend. | ||
We've got just a lot to cover, so let's just get into it, shall we? | ||
Here it is, your daily dispatch. | ||
All right, here it is, folks, your Daily Dispatch for Tuesday, the 22nd of April, 2025. | ||
Pope Francis died of stroke and subsequent heart failure, says Vatican. | ||
Pope Francis, aged 88, died from a cerebral stroke and subsequent heart failure on April 21, 2025, at 7.35 a.m. local time, according to the Vatican. | ||
He held his last public Easter address in a wheelchair just the day before his death, having been hospitalized for five weeks prior. | ||
World leaders, including King Charles, expressed sadness over the Pope's fasting, noting his compassionate commitment to helping the marginalized, of course, broke during American Journal yesterday. | ||
The fallout continues. | ||
He's now being displayed in an open casket. | ||
With images going around of that. | ||
Bizarrely, J.D. Vance appears to somehow be, like, around while all of this is happening. | ||
If you recall, it was about five weeks ago when the Pope was first hospitalized with the illness that would eventually | ||
him. It was immediately after, you know, J.D. Vance made his comments to the Munich Security Conference about Europe and about how... | ||
Europe was being invaded and destroyed. | ||
The Pope came out and basically rebuked him and said that the Catholic position was that basically Catholic homeland should be overrun by Mohammedans. | ||
Totally insane. | ||
Of course, I made the joke about it because it was a bronchitis flare-up of some sort. | ||
The joke I made was the Pope... | ||
Basically uses the power of the papacy to progress a completely secular and anti-Christian policy set. | ||
And the news immediately struck mute by God. | ||
Because he couldn't talk after saying that. | ||
And then five weeks later, I guess, has died of the same thing immediately after being visited again by J.D. Vance. | ||
What that means exactly, I don't know. | ||
But it is something people are pointing out. | ||
Do you notice his tie is yellow? | ||
So, cue confirmed. | ||
Meanwhile, Homeland Security Secretary Noem's purse containing DHS access badge, $3,000 in cash, stolen at D.C. restaurant. | ||
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's bag was stolen during a dinner at a Washington, D.C. restaurant, containing $3,000 in cash and personal identification. | ||
CNN reported that the theft was captured on security camera and involved a man wearing a medical mask. | ||
The Secret Service is monitoring Noem's financial accounts for any unusual activity post-theft, according to reports. | ||
There is currently no information regarding whether the theft specifically targeted Noem or if it was a random accident. | ||
Well, it's kind of hard to tell because... | ||
Washington, D.C. is a crime-ridden hellhole, and it's not unlikely that people's belongings go missing during a night out. | ||
However, I gotta say, this seems a lot more suspicious than that. | ||
The $3,000 in cash is a little bit suspicious on its own. | ||
Apparently she was going to hand it out for Easter, even though this was Easter evening. | ||
Whatever. Doesn't really matter as much to me. | ||
I don't think this is a coincidence. | ||
Seems to me like maybe there was a targeted theft going on here. | ||
I mean, what is the likelihood that some random pickpocket in Washington, D.C. just happened to be, like, call me crazy, I don't think she was hanging out at Harry's, right? | ||
I don't think she was hanging out at some dive bar. | ||
So what type of thief in D.C. is hanging out at like five-star high-end Michelin-rated restaurants? | ||
And would they really just happen to target Kristi Noem? | ||
I think this is much more likely espionage of some sort. | ||
At least it should be treated as espionage until it's proven otherwise. | ||
I guarantee you there's... | ||
It'd be a lot of things you could do with Kristi Noem's identity or her badge to get into buildings or God knows what else in her purse. | ||
A major, major faux pas here beyond just the embarrassment of the idea of the person in charge of our homeland security being incapable of securing her personal belongings. | ||
That's where a lot of people's attention is. | ||
I think it's much more likely this was... | ||
Some sort of political action. | ||
Whether international or not, I don't know. | ||
But it seems like espionage to me. | ||
And maybe we'll get more on that later. | ||
Meanwhile, the Trump administration weighs baby bonus and pro-marriage policies to boost birth rate. | ||
The Trump administration is considering policies to encourage marriage and increase birth rates, indicating a shift towards a cultural agenda supported by conservative allies. | ||
Yes, a cultural agenda that actually cares about and wants to provide for the continuing existence of our population. | ||
It's one of those conservative beliefs that... | ||
Okay. Okay. | ||
Fine. Project 2025 emphasizes family issues. | ||
It aims to restore the family as the centerpiece of American life. | ||
President Trump expressed his vision for America as a place where all children can safely grow up and achieve the American dream. | ||
And of course the way you would actually do that is to, again, provide for the cultural and financial situation in which people actually want to have children. | ||
But it's... | ||
It's hard to have kids when you can hardly afford to live on your own. | ||
Hard to justify bringing a kid into the mix as well. | ||
And we could also go some way and just... | ||
If I was them, what I would do would be go to Hollywood and go, hey, we'll give you a big old tax break on the movie you're making, which you need because you guys suck and are going bankrupt. | ||
So we can help you out and give you a big tax break to maybe keep your flailing and failing industry alive. | ||
For the time being, it's just in exchange, you've got to insert some pro-family messaging into your movies. | ||
You see, a lot of the reason that the birth rate is so low is because of decades of pernicious and subtle mind-scrubbing of the American people, demonizing the state of motherhood or of having children. | ||
And of course, we could show you an infinite number of examples, but... | ||
Once you start looking for it, you'll start noticing it everywhere. | ||
Sitcoms are maybe the most prolific expounder of this idea. | ||
But you'll see it if you start just looking for this stuff. | ||
You'll see how many times in Hollywood movies or just mainstream TV shows, they'll just talk about babies as like, I'm going to have a wriggling little gremlin crawl out of my crotch? | ||
I don't think so. | ||
Just framing it in a disgusting and It won't cost us anything and | ||
would actually counteract the pervasive propaganda. | ||
That has destroyed the minds of women across the country and destroyed our ability to procreate and continue our existence into the future. | ||
Meanwhile, Justice Department agrees to let DOGE access sensitive immigration case data. | ||
The Department of Government officially received permission from the Justice Department to access sensitive immigration data, which stores detailed records about millions of immigrants. | ||
This database contains comprehensive information on immigrants, including addresses and case histories, and has records going back to the 90s. | ||
Concerns have been raised about... | ||
By advocates like Lynn Damiano Pearson regarding the privacy of immigrants whose data is shared across different agencies as there could be a negative impact for compliant individuals. | ||
The effort has faced backlash, particularly over cases like that of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a father, facing deportation despite a protective court order. | ||
You know, a MS-13 gang member who has already been deported. | ||
And that a gigantic media... | ||
Cacophony has come about. | ||
We'll talk about that too because it's funny. | ||
The senator that went to visit Kilmar, which I love that his name starts with Kilmar, he went to visit him. | ||
He's like caressing his face. | ||
They're crying together. | ||
It was all very disgusting. | ||
And then he comes back and he's like, this wasn't about Kilmar. | ||
No, this wasn't about this one guy. | ||
Whatever gave you that idea? | ||
Was it me cuddling him? | ||
Because that was different. | ||
That was about something else. | ||
This is about the rule of law. | ||
But they're trying to, like, separate themselves from this guy because the more they talk about him, the more people figure out this was an MS-13 member, been arrested on suspicion of trafficking, he was an illegal immigrant, he was from El Salvador anyway, that actually everything that happened here was pretty standard protocol. | ||
For a foreigner, no Americans' rights were violated and turns out he was or associated with kind of the worst people in the world and one of the most dangerous and gruesome gangs of all time. | ||
And so they're trying to separate themselves from that guy individually and trying to act like this is about some sort of wider problem that doesn't actually exist and that they're not actually fixing. | ||
And it's similar to what's going on with Carmelo Anthony because I think they've gotten a little bit Out over their skis, they're sort of missing some key components of what made these types of things possible in the past, | ||
right? They had great success with, like, the kids in cages lie. | ||
Now, it was fabricated from the outset and media creation from the beginning, but at least you had, like, little kids that people could look at and go, it's just a little baby. | ||
We can't be... | ||
Treating them wrongly. | ||
And you had people on that side because that's as far as their discernment goes. | ||
It's just like, oh, children looking sad? | ||
Please take my rights. | ||
But at least you had kids. | ||
At least it was like kids. | ||
Sympathetic figures and kids. | ||
Or you had George Floyd, which, sure, he was a crack-addled career criminal who had pointed a loaded gun at a pregnant woman's belly and was cracked out on fentanyl and killed himself by swallowing an overdose. | ||
You at least had this scene of, on camera, what appeared to be a police officer choking out a man to death in front of everybody on the street. | ||
And it was impactful and emotional. | ||
And it was over a fake $20 bill. | ||
Buying a banana wasn't a big deal. | ||
So they were able to frame that. | ||
And normal, especially white liberals, were able to look at that and go, oh my god, this is police brutality. | ||
This is totally horrific. | ||
I'm going to stand up against this. | ||
But then you've got them running the same playbook of Black Lives Matter for Carmelo Anthony, and the white liberals are looking at that and going, you want me to be on the side of some dude that just stabbed another dude in the heart and ran away? | ||
I'm not actually in favor of that. | ||
So they've taken this playbook that they have for situations they can actually frame as outrageous and objectionable. | ||
But now they're applying those things to situations that are very clear-cut, where it's very obvious who the bad guys are, and the liberals are not normal, average, normie liberals, are not really going along with it like they used to. | ||
So the same playbook run for kids in cages or a black man murdered by police doesn't quite apply to MS-13 gang members and abject murderers. | ||
It's not working out so well for them. | ||
It's an interesting thread of continuity through all these situations. | ||
Meanwhile, and finally, NIH bans all future grants to universities with DEI programs or Israel boycotts. | ||
The National Institutes of Health will stop funding universities with diversity and inclusion programs or boycotts against Israeli companies according to a policy note issued Monday. | ||
Harvard University, rather, is expected to face significant impacts due to its $488 million in National Institute of Health funding, with its medical school being hit the hardest, according to the Harvard at Crimson. | ||
The National Institutes of Health directive resembles funding freeze by the Trump administration that previously targeted Harvard and Columbia universities, noted the policy announcements. | ||
And again, it's going to be a major topic of discussion today, and I have a term for it. | ||
It's simple, and I think it makes sense. | ||
It's the puff of smoke. | ||
Because what's happening here is they're very clearly doing a lot of stuff for the sole intent and purpose of fighting anti-Semitism, so-called what they call anti-Semitism, which is fighting Americans speaking up against the foreign state of Israel. | ||
And they always hide it and disguise it very thinly. | ||
It's a very thinly veiled deception. | ||
Behind some other claim that can distract and confuse the wider public. | ||
And it's like a magician doing a puff of smoke while his other hand is, you know, doing the real trick. | ||
It's happening right in front of you, but it's also being disguised. | ||
So DEI is the puff of smoke in this situation. | ||
Nothing is actually being done to stop DEI. | ||
And we've seen this over and over and we've reported on it over and over. | ||
Universities often just... | ||
Rename the DEI program to something else equally Orwellian and continue their practice regardless. | ||
Or in the case of someone like Claudine Gay, the former president of Harvard, they claim to have ousted her over DEI and then they replaced her with somebody who was just as dedicated to DEI but was also a Zionist Jew. | ||
So it's like we can see what the real purpose of all of this is. | ||
Please don't get distracted by the obvious puff of smoke that they blow in your face. | ||
To get you to look elsewhere. | ||
Same thing's happening with Pete Hegseth. | ||
There's all this smoke about signal chat. | ||
He like, oh my god, he had a chat with his wife. | ||
He can't be Secretary of Defense anymore. | ||
And it's just like, this is stupid. | ||
This is very stupid. | ||
Do you remember last week? | ||
Just last week, there were major articles about factions within the Trump administration. | ||
You know, a splitting, a splintering between Those who wanted to go to war with Iran and those who didn't want to go to war with Iran. | ||
You had people who wanted to go with Iran being like Waltz and Rubio. | ||
People who didn't want to bomb Iran on behalf of Israel being like Pete Hegseth and J.D. Vance and a few others. | ||
And that's what's actually happening here. | ||
It's actually happening here that Israel is desperate to destroy Iran. | ||
And I'll break this down on the other side. | ||
Because I really want to give a thorough breakdown. | ||
As to what's actually happening behind the scenes. | ||
But just understand, people that want to talk about DEI or want to talk about Hegseth's signal chat or Claudine Gay's plagiarism or TikTok's Chinese influence, | ||
all of these things are puffs of smoke. | ||
They're all just distractions. | ||
The obvious purpose is what's happening underneath is the other reason that they give but never really discuss. | ||
Right? They'll talk, you know, you talk about Claudine Gay and you say she was ousted because she didn't want to shut down the protest on her campus. | ||
People go, no, no, that was about DEI. | ||
That was about all this other stuff. | ||
And then you watch a video of the people that made the decision at some conference somewhere and they go, Claudine Gay wouldn't shut down the protest, so we got her out of there. | ||
It's like, okay, they aren't even mincing words. | ||
Like, they'll tell you directly what the real purpose of it is. | ||
They just also throw in this other thing about DEI or Chinese influence or... | ||
The signal chat, whatever else they have to, to just like give the barest cover to what is clearly a, I don't know, the way I'd put it is like a hostile takeover of the American military by Israel. | ||
And not a lot of other people saying, no, Israel's been in charge of our military forever already. | ||
And it's like, but they really haven't. | ||
They haven't really. | ||
The way it typically is done is the media is activated to convince the wider public, the people themselves, To demand that something be done to give the politicians who are very tightly controlled the justification they need to do what they wanted anyway. | ||
If they can't get away with the media campaign of smears and chaos, then it won't actually succeed. | ||
So, again, this is the most important story going on right now. | ||
Nothing else even really matters when you get right down to it because if they succeed in removing the people that are barriers to war with Iran, And they're able to start World War III, then it's all over. | ||
And I think this has to do with everything else as well. | ||
You have stuff like the Ukraine war, which still seemingly bogged down in these intractable negotiations, which is bizarre because the two powers discussing this are America and Russia, | ||
both of whom have leadership that want the war to end, and yet we can't make the war end. | ||
The two sides... | ||
Are desperate to have the war end and you can't come to an agreement. | ||
Well, does this have anything to do with the fact that Russia is a major ally of Iran and they just are trying to waylay peace in Ukraine until they can get war with Iran going because they don't want Russia freed up from Eastern Europe to focus on the Middle East. | ||
It's all intertwined. | ||
unidentified
|
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | |
This is the American Journal. | ||
I'm Rose Harrison Smith. | ||
unidentified
|
*Clears throat* | |
I want to try to break down what, again, I think is the biggest story in the world right now. | ||
And that is the looming specter of war with Iran, which would, of course, mean World War III, which itself would likely go nuclear pretty quickly and involve the total destruction of America and Europe as we know it. | ||
And a lot of these different threads we'll talk about today tie in together. | ||
But let's just put it this way. | ||
Before the Trump administration was inaugurated, there was a lot of work that went into making sure that absolutely everybody positioned in the Trump administration Was Israel first? | ||
And everybody from Pete Hegseth to Pam Bondi, they've all made public statements about their undying and unquestioning loyalty to the project of Israel. | ||
Pete Hegseth even talking about wanting to rebuild the Third Temple and all this sort of stuff. | ||
So that was like a prerequisite for even getting into Trump's administration in the first place. | ||
And we saw the way that people who weren't going along with that loyalty Being ousted, people like Matt Gaetz, who'd very recently stood up against the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act, because you have to understand that at the same time that they're agitating for a war with Iran, | ||
they're putting in the Anti-Semitism Acts across the board, appointing Anti-Semitism czars to oversee every branch of the government. | ||
All these things are working in tandem. | ||
So that's the prerequisite to get into Trump's administration. | ||
But then once... | ||
In the administration, people like Pete Hegseth actually turned out to not be so gung-ho in favor of war with Iran. | ||
And we covered this last week. | ||
There's an Axios story. | ||
Trump's team's Iran divide. | ||
Trump team Iran divide. | ||
Dialogue versus detonation to end a nuclear threat. | ||
And they lay out that there are two camps in the Trump administration. | ||
One camp, unofficially led by Vice President Vance, believes a diplomatic solution is both preferable and possible and that the U.S. should be ready to make compromises. | ||
In order to make it happen, Vance is highly involved in the Iran policy discussions, another U.S. official says. | ||
This camp also includes Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. | ||
It also gets support from MAGA influencer and Trump whisperer Tucker Carlson. | ||
On the other side, 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 program. | ||
Senators close to Trump like Senator Lindsey Graham and Tom Cotton also hold that view. | ||
And so the two camps are the bomb Iran camp and the don't start World War III camp. | ||
And now immediately after this, you're starting to see the media campaign against Pete Hegseth ramp up with NPR reporting that Trump is searching for a new Secretary of Defense because it's just too chaotic under Pete Hegseth. | ||
Now, by every possible metric, Pete Hegseth has been a hugely successful Secretary of Defense already. | ||
Already, if you look at, like, recruitment numbers and, like, efficiency in the armed forces already in the first three months of Trump's administration, everything is up across the board. | ||
All the numbers are up, recruitment numbers, the Marines are hitting their recruitment drives. | ||
Like, everything is flourishing under Hegseth. | ||
But he doesn't want to go to war with Iran, so he's got to be replaced. | ||
He was only put into the position. | ||
Because they thought he'd be amenable to these ideas. | ||
Turns out he's resistant to them, so now he's being targeted for media campaign of destruction. | ||
And this is an extremely effective method to get rid of somebody like this, because even if the complaints they're making are totally fraudulent or unfounded or not as big of a deal as they claim, the pressure itself can make Pete Hegseth an unviable, | ||
Candidate for Secretary of Defense. | ||
In other words, if the harassment over a signal chat continues to be asked about at every press conference and Pete Hegseth is having to do interviews, try to talk about this, they can actually distract and derail Pete Hegseth to the extent that he actually can't manage being Secretary of Defense anymore because there's just like They're so mad and they won't shut up about it and they'll just go on and | ||
on and on. | ||
Because remember, I mean, I've said it a million times, but you have to be able to see it now. | ||
The way that the media can take one singular event or even minor series of events, whatever it is, and just blow it up to be the biggest thing ever and it suddenly dominates every news cycle forever. | ||
I mean, how many examples do we have in even just the last few weeks? | ||
I mean, since Carmelo Anthony stabbed Dawson Metcalf, I know at least two other examples of white people being killed by black people out of nowhere. | ||
Just, you know, ran out of bus. | ||
One guy was waiting at a bus stop. | ||
A black dude with a hatchet just, like, chopped his head off. | ||
I mean, just crazy, insane stuff. | ||
But it doesn't even get talked about. | ||
Barely even gets discussed. | ||
Meanwhile, Carmelo Anthony, Austin Metcalf, new headlines every day. | ||
Kilmar Abrego, whatever that dude's name is, right? | ||
You've got tens of millions of immigrants in this country, tens of thousands being deported. | ||
One of them, they just latch onto, and suddenly it dominates the news cycle every day for three weeks straight. | ||
I mean, this is fabricated. | ||
This is the magic that they're conjuring. | ||
The Pete Hegseth example might be the most outrageous in the recent past. | ||
They're demanding that he go away. | ||
I mean, all these headlines. | ||
I mean, this is the... | ||
Anatomy of a highly orchestrated media campaign. | ||
From the Guardian, quote, full-blown meltdown at Pentagon after Hegseth's second signal chat revealed. | ||
From Middle East Eye, Trump Trump official overseeing Iran and Israel. | ||
Well, there's a whole other aspect to this, by the way. | ||
Just clarify that I'm not just going off on some, I don't know, something dictated by Myself, this is just stuff I'm responding to. | ||
Top Trump official overseeing Iran and Israel portfolio worked for the Israeli Ministry of Defense. | ||
So when I say like hostile takeover of the American military, I literally mean that people from the Israeli military are now occupying spots in the American military for some reason. | ||
We just have foreigners controlling our government to like an open and outrageous degree. | ||
Again, full-blown meltdown at Pentagon. | ||
Pete Hegseth be replaced, according to NPR. | ||
Under Pete Hegseth, chaos prevails at the Pentagon by the New York Times. | ||
White House looking to replace Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary, NPR. | ||
Info, Pete Hegseth shared with wife, brother, came from top generals, secure messages. | ||
Oh my gosh, panic, outrage, chaos. | ||
What are we going to do? | ||
We have to replace him. | ||
He has to get out now. | ||
And it's like, they'll just keep this up until he's gone. | ||
I mean, It's like months from now, they'll still be talking about some signal chat with his wife. | ||
Now, this is absurd. | ||
I don't know if you remember this. | ||
This is the second signal chat, you know, kerfuffle that's going on with the Trump administration in the last few weeks. | ||
Apparently, in this case, I don't know, there was a group chat that included Hegseth and his wife. | ||
And that's just terrible, apparently. | ||
We don't know what... | ||
It's actually bad about this or what they're claiming it is. | ||
But this comes like a week after Waltz, the pro-bombing Iran side of the Trump administration, actually included the editor of The Atlantic in the war planning chat. | ||
Weird how there weren't any calls for him to resign. | ||
Weird that they didn't talk about replacing him in his position. | ||
Seems like that's a much, much more egregious and less easy to explain violation of secrecy when it comes to signal chats than Pete Hegseth being in a signal chat with his wife. | ||
And of course you have other examples that people are pointing out. | ||
It's the obvious comparison of things like Jill Biden being the president when Joe Biden was sleepy. | ||
How many times did the White House post pictures of Jill Biden? | ||
Tons of papers in front of her and a pin and her glasses on. | ||
It's like, Jill Biden is preparing to lead the White House conference on this tomorrow. | ||
And it's like, the president's wife is doing this? | ||
How does she have the right or the ability to suddenly be running White House conferences? | ||
I mean, this just makes no sense. | ||
But when it comes to Democrats... | ||
Jill Biden gets to just supersede her husband and just be president sometimes when she wants to. | ||
Dr. Jill Biden. | ||
Yes, Dr. Jill Biden. | ||
Got to just play president whenever she wanted, but Pete Hegseth can't be in a signal chat with his wife. | ||
You understand? | ||
This isn't real. | ||
This isn't real outrage. | ||
This isn't a real thing that's happening here. | ||
It's a scam. | ||
It's a lie. | ||
Just a very blatant effort to oust Pete Hegseth because they really want war with Iran. | ||
So, I'm trying to think about how to put this as concisely as possible. | ||
Israel is desperate to go to war with Iran right now because they have made a gigantic gamble. | ||
Over the last year and a half, they have acted incredibly brutally, recklessly. | ||
They have destroyed their reputation overseas. | ||
They have destroyed their reputation with American voters. | ||
For the first time ever, you know, support of Israel is, you know, well below the majority. | ||
But this was all a gamble, and it was a bet that they could, you know, win the hand at the end of the day. | ||
They have eliminated all of Iran's proxies, more or less, right? | ||
Hamas, massively destroyed. | ||
Gaza is in ruins. | ||
Hezbollah, largely decapitated, totally destroyed. | ||
Syria, you know, a main fixture in the so-called Iranian axis of resistance. | ||
Totally destroyed, wiped out. | ||
I mean, they've shattered the axis of resistance. | ||
The Houthi rebels would be the other major group. | ||
America, of course, doing their bidding now and keeping the Houthis tied down, bogged down, and bombing them to smithereens. | ||
So they've gotten rid of all of Iran's proxies. | ||
But Iran is the big prize. | ||
Israel feels like if all of this ends with the destruction of Iran, then it will all have been worth it because Iran is the primary geopolitical challenger to Israel in the region right now. | ||
If they can destroy Iran through this, then all of what they've done for the last year and a half will have paid off and will have been worth it. | ||
If they don't get war with Iran right now in this window of opportunity they've created— | ||
They'll be able to, you know, Iran will be able to rebuild its proxy networks. | ||
If war in Ukraine ends and Russia is able to divert. | ||
A lot of resources and intelligence assets and energy and effort towards Iran rather than being bogged down in Ukraine. | ||
That would change the game quite a bit. | ||
If they can get Iran with this, it will have paid off. | ||
If they fail to destroy Iran through all of this, then they will have lost their gamble and the backlash will be immense, even if it's just the backlash of the American voters no longer being in support of Israel endlessly. | ||
So they're like totally desperate to get this done. | ||
I mean, how many trips has Benjamin Netanyahu made to Washington, D.C. since Trump got into office? | ||
Three, I think? | ||
At least two in the last month or so? | ||
Some people point to that and be like, oh, it's because Benjamin Netanyahu is in control and Trump scoots his chair in, therefore he's the submissive one. | ||
But no, no, these are acts of desperation. | ||
I mean, they're deploying everything they've got to exert maximum pressure to get war with Iran going. | ||
They keep sending Netanyahu to try to compel Trump to do this, and he keeps leaving empty-handed and frustrated. | ||
And all the stories behind the scenes are saying that Trump is sort of relishing this because of his rivalry with Netanyahu in other regards. | ||
Netanyahu being the first to congratulate Joe Biden after he stole the election. | ||
Et cetera, et cetera. | ||
These are acts of desperation. | ||
They're doing everything they possibly can to bring about this war with Iran. | ||
And again, I wonder if the war in Ukraine isn't being bogged down because of this. | ||
They're very mad that Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff, is directly talking to Iran. | ||
They didn't want that to happen. | ||
But that's happening regardless of what they want. | ||
So again, this is the biggest conflict in the world right now, and the only thing that I think could keep us on track, because basically all they're doing, they worked overtime, they burned assets, they deployed resources, massive ones, to make sure that everyone in Trump's administration was Israel first, | ||
was diehard pro-Israel supporter, which included ousting Matt Gaetz, which is another level of intertwinedness, because the thing Matt Gaetz was ousted over was, In and of itself, an Israeli blackmail sexual extortion scheme. | ||
So, you know, these are the things they deployed to guarantee that Trump's administration was Israel first. | ||
But once they got into office, they're not playing along, they're not playing the game, and they're not fulfilling their role in being cheerleaders for war with Iran. | ||
So now they're trying to replace them with somebody more amenable to the idea so that they can oust Pete Hegseth. | ||
At this point, maybe they'll just replace him with Netanyahu. | ||
Maybe they'll just replace him with whoever else. | ||
They'll replace him with the Israeli Secretary of Defense. | ||
The one that was ousted for all the war crimes and genocide. | ||
Maybe he'll just be our Secretary. | ||
After all, we are just appointing Israeli government officials to positions in our government at this point. | ||
Maybe that'll just happen. | ||
But regardless, if Hegseth is the sticking point. | ||
He's the Secretary of Defense not allowing this to move forward. | ||
Then they're just trying to oust him. | ||
They're flipping through their blackmail Rolodex to see what they can deploy against him. | ||
And we already talked about this last week because there were already Hegseth's aides were all like marched out of the building and blamed for being leakers. | ||
But the whole thing seems suspicious to me because again you've got on Wednesday you've got the story about how There's a strong anti-war contingent in the Trump administration stopping conflict with Iran. | ||
And like the next day, those people's aides are being marched out of the Pentagon and fired because they were leakers or some other charge they can bring up. | ||
But it's obvious. | ||
They're just trying to get rid of the people that are preventing them going to war with Iran. | ||
It's really not complicated. | ||
It is extremely dangerous and offensive. | ||
But again, they've decided to launch this media campaign. | ||
They've decided to launch this smear campaign where, again, every headline, you know, very same, you know, full-blown meltdown. | ||
Chaos prevails. | ||
Oh, it's so chaotic. | ||
What are we supposed to do? | ||
This is so crazy. | ||
I guess we have to get rid of Pete Hegseth and go to war with Iran now. | ||
I guess that's all there is to do. | ||
I mean, it's so chaotic and crazy under Pete Hegseth, even though, again, every number that matters, every... | ||
You know, interpretation of the national security of America is up under Pete Hegseth. | ||
He does not want to go to war with Iran, and that's the only thing that matters. | ||
The Defense Secretary's inner circle is in disarray, and distrust is growing among civil servants and senior military officials. | ||
He arrived at the Pentagon in January with almost no government experience and huge ambitions to remake the way the military was being run. | ||
In just three months in office, Mr. Hegseth... | ||
A former Fox News host has instead produced a run of chaos that is unmatched in the recent history of the Defense Department. | ||
Oh my God, this is all in shambles. | ||
Everything's in shambles. | ||
Then there's this signal leak, which we don't even... | ||
Again, there's not even information about this. | ||
I mean, what... | ||
Is it worse than sending... | ||
The chat itself to the editor of The Atlantic? | ||
And if not, then why is it inspiring so much more chaos and outrage than the actual much worse thing that was done by Waltz? | ||
Well, Waltz is in the pro-war Theron camp, so he's not going to be ousted over this. | ||
It's not going to be a three-week media campaign to bog him down and distract him and cause chaos. | ||
They're the ones causing the chaos, by the way, in the Pentagon, demanding that he be ousted. | ||
Even though what he did was worse, it's not about that, is it? | ||
That's the puff of smoke. | ||
That's the distraction from the magician. | ||
You should be paying attention to everything else happening other than the puff of smoke. | ||
So existence of a chat, including Hegseth, his wife, and others, prompts calls for defense secretary to step down. | ||
Well, this is the call for him to step down. | ||
Nobody called for him to step down except for you people. | ||
And it doesn't even make sense what you're asking. | ||
Pressure was mounting on the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, on Monday following reports of a second signal chat room used to discuss sensitive military operations while a former top Pentagon spokesperson slammed the U.S. top military officials' leadership of the Defense Department. | ||
John Uliot, who resigned last week after initially serving as Pentagon spokesperson, said in an opinion essay published by Politico on Sunday that the Pentagon has been overwhelmed by staff drama and turnover in the initial months of the second Trump administration. | ||
Yeah, new administration came in. | ||
Other people, the old people were fired. | ||
New people were brought in. | ||
That's not chaos. | ||
That's the way it's supposed to go. | ||
But they're calling it a full-blown meltdown that could cause Hegseth, the 44-year-old former Fox News host and National Guard officer, his job as defense secretary. | ||
Quote, it's been a month of total chaos at the Pentagon. | ||
From leaks of sensitive operational plans to mass firings, the dysfunction is now a major distraction for the president, who deserves better from his senior leadership. | ||
That's such a distraction. | ||
If you just got rid of Pete Hegseth, then we wouldn't be distracting you anymore. | ||
Just get rid of Pete Hegseth and all this distraction will go away. | ||
It's like you're the ones causing the distraction. | ||
These people are the ones who are framing very normal activities like firing the old guard and bringing in new people or dealing with leaks. | ||
Because apparently Pete Hegseth, he's the first person to deal with leaks from the Pentagon, right? | ||
I mean, this is retarded. | ||
This is stupid. | ||
This is nonsensical. | ||
This is a lie. | ||
It's all just a big lie, but it's also a threat and a blackmail and an extortion. | ||
So the only way to combat this is for all of us, the public at large, and the Trump administration, to let them know, like, this isn't going to work. | ||
We're not going to pay attention to this anymore. | ||
What they want is Pete Hegseth to be distracted and made incapable of doing his job because he's having to deal with this Media campaign. | ||
This media campaign itself, its intention is to lower our national security. | ||
The whole point of this is to distract and befuddle the Pentagon enough that they go, you know what, just get rid of Pete Hegseth so we can do our job again. | ||
So the only thing that needs to happen is Pete Hegseth needs to ignore all of this, and I would even say Trump should come out and just go, Hey, look, all these smears against Pete Hegseth, it's not working. | ||
We're not looking for a new Secretary of Defense. | ||
Pete's doing his job, and he's going to keep doing his job. | ||
So stop trying to distract him. | ||
Stop trying to get rid of him. | ||
Just stop. | ||
You're the ones causing distraction. | ||
You're the ones causing chaos. | ||
Pete Hegseth's doing his job admirably, and he's going to keep doing it. | ||
You need to come out and confront this. | ||
Not deal with it. | ||
Not try to counteract what they're saying. | ||
Just blanket full-scale across the board. | ||
Shut up, we don't care. | ||
Shut up, we don't care. | ||
We don't care about his wife being in a signal chat. | ||
So shut up and go away. | ||
It'll be something else next. | ||
It'll be some, you know, sexual scandal next. | ||
The whole point, the whole design of this operation is to cause trouble, cause chaos, sling mud at Hegseth, bog him down. | ||
Every day there's going to be like 10 questions at the White House. | ||
Oh, but this Pete Hegseth thing. | ||
But people are really concerned. | ||
But they say that there's chaos. | ||
And it's just going to be like endless, forever. | ||
And so you've got to come out and just like, I'm not answering those questions anymore. | ||
We're not talking about this anymore. | ||
You guys are taking a nothing burger and trying to spin it up into a giant scandal because you want to get rid of Pete Hegseth because you want to go to war with Iran and Pete Hegseth doesn't. | ||
We get it. | ||
We know what's going on here. | ||
Stop it. | ||
Stop trying to start World War III. | ||
Stop trying to get rid of the people stopping World War III, you absolute warmongering psychopaths. | ||
And the same thing happens with Tulsi Gabbard. | ||
Same thing happens over and over again. | ||
I have another example of a... | ||
Who was it? | ||
It was like Mark Levin or somebody. | ||
Just like, Tulsi Gabbard is so dangerous. | ||
It's like, we get it. | ||
We get it. | ||
We understand. | ||
Anybody who's not in favor of using America to go to war with Iran... | ||
For the sake of Israel, for using American lives, our servicemen, as the cannon fodder to fulfill Israel's geopolitical ambitions. | ||
If they're not for that, then they're going to be smeared for a million different reasons in a million different ways, none of which are actually the outrage, inspiring the outrage that's going on. | ||
Okay? I'm trying not to repeat myself, but it's important that everybody understands this. | ||
And actually, there was a story on Infowars about this that Raw Egg Nationalist published just yesterday, I believe. | ||
It's called Juxtapose This. | ||
It's hard not to ask who benefits from rehashing the Hegseth group chat scandal. | ||
Juxtaposition, the act of placing two or more things side by side, often to compare or contrast them, or indeed to suggest they might be connected with each other casually somehow. | ||
Causally. I'll pick this up on the other side, | ||
unidentified
|
but I'm giving you the heart of the conflict then. | |
So it's just a matter of who wins. | ||
unidentified
|
right, welcome back, folks. | |
Second hour of American. | ||
I'm going to be joined by Mike Shelby in the 10 o'clock hour. | ||
He's an expert on low-intensity conflict. | ||
And we'll talk about what's next for the color revolution here in America as these terrorist groups are increasingly activated to cause violence and chaos, like burning down Tesla dealerships. | ||
But of course, that's just the beginning, and as we've warned over and over again, they are planning for a big-time revolution this summer. | ||
Mike Shelby's going to talk about how we as individuals, and on a small scale, can deal with this reality. | ||
But I want to get back to this article from Raw Egg Nationalist called Juxtapose This. | ||
He talks about juxtaposition, where you set two things next to each other, and you just try to establish whether there's some sort of connection between them, or see what you can glean from the comparison of the two things. | ||
So he says, Over the weekend, | ||
another story broke in the New York Times that Hegseth, quote, shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen in a private signal group chat that included his wife, brother, and personal lawyer. | ||
Unnamed sources told the Times Hegseth created the group in January before he was confirmed. | ||
In response to the allegations, the Pentagon chief spokesperson, Sean Parnell, said disgruntled former employees were responsible for the claims. | ||
On X, he said the reports, quote, relied... | ||
Only on the words of people who were fired this week and appeared to have motive to sabotage President Trump's wide-ranging agenda at the Pentagon. | ||
Quote, there's no classified information in any signal chat no matter how many ways they try to write the story, Parnell said. | ||
What is true is that the Office of Secretary of Defense is continuing to become stronger and more efficient in executing President Trump's agenda. | ||
The revelation came at the end of a difficult week for the embattled Defense Secretary as the top three officials of the Pentagon were forced out of their jobs. | ||
Dan Caldwell, Colin Carroll, and Darren Selnick were all fired for being leaked. | ||
After being linked to an internal investigation of unauthorized disclosures of sensitive information, the three men have protested their innocence. | ||
And again, I tend to believe them. | ||
And again, I said this last week where it was like, oh, they found a leaker from the Pentagon. | ||
And your first reaction was like, oh, good. | ||
Yeah, we know there have been Pentagon leakers. | ||
We know there have been people sending stuff to the media to try to derail Trump's campaign. | ||
Trump's administration, rather. | ||
So good, they found the leaker. | ||
And then it's like, yeah, the leaker turned out to be like Pete Hegseth's assistant who was instrumental in stopping the war plans with Iran from going into practice. | ||
And it's like, okay, so there probably was no leak. | ||
Okay, so this was a puff of smoke. | ||
This was the distraction, the thing they throw up to distract you and to satisfy you and justify their actions when in reality it's, you know, very simple, you know, warmongering manipulation. | ||
So that's the first thing. | ||
Fresh trouble for Pete at the Pentagon. | ||
Now here's the second. | ||
Early last week, President Trump decided against a joint U.S.-Israel military strike to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities. | ||
After a tense meeting in the Situation Room, the anti-war party, which argued that a diplomatic solution is not only preferable but still possible, won out. | ||
Among the stalwarts of the position were Vice President J.D. Vance, DNI Tulsi Gabbard, Special Envoy Steve Wyckoff, and Secretary of Defense. | ||
Pete Hegseth. | ||
President Trump reaffirmed his sensible conviction that Iran must not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. | ||
Quote, So, military strikes could still happen, | ||
but for the moment at least, diplomacy has prevailed. | ||
The president has given Iran two months to sign a new nuclear deal. | ||
Israel, however, has suggested it may carry out strikes unilaterally. | ||
I think you know what I'm driving at with this juxtaposition. | ||
You already know that war with Iran leading to regime change has been the long-term policy goal of certain bloodthirsty segments of the U.S. establishment for decades. | ||
It was the jewel in the crown of the Bush neocon vision of the future for the Middle East. | ||
And of course, you remember that General Wesley Clark mentioned those seven countries in five years. | ||
Well, six of them have been destroyed. | ||
Iran is the only one left on the list, and they are desperate. | ||
You can get it destroyed as soon as possible and getting rid of everybody in the way. | ||
unidentified
|
Alright, welcome back, folks. | |
This article from Roy Gnashley says, great job of breaking down the argument. | ||
I encourage you to go find and share it at Infowars.com. | ||
Juxtapose this, it's hard not to ask who benefits from rehashing the Hegseth group chat scandal. | ||
And again, the real absurdity of it is that the first signal chat Scandal, which actually was a thing where the private group chat planning the war in Yemen was leaked to the editor of The Atlantic, | ||
probably the most anti-Trump publication in existence right now. | ||
He was just there for weeks observing, listening in on the private conversations of the highest levels of the American war machine. | ||
It's completely insane and entirely the fault of Waltz. | ||
It wasn't chaos then. | ||
It wasn't ousted then. | ||
No NPR articles about, you know, he's going to have to replace Waltz now. | ||
But was all that maybe not just, you know, another attempt to, you know, get rid of Pete Hegseth? | ||
I mean, it was Hegseth that they were talking about was the one who were saying things that could have been considered war plans in that. | ||
But again, it's not It's not consistent, is it? | ||
Not consistent, the outrage about these two things. | ||
Because it's a lie, because it's fake. | ||
You should be able to read through this. | ||
But he basically, Roy Ignashless, ends with saying this. | ||
Like I said, these two events may not actually be connected. | ||
Hegseth's problems at the Pentagon are ongoing, and it may simply be, as Sean Parnell said, that, quote, disgruntled employees are responsible for the latest claims against the Defense Secretary, true or not. | ||
Hegseth has turned the place upside down already in his quest to restore America's warfighting capabilities, an enterprise that was bound to make him a lot of enemies, even if he didn't challenge the Infinity War demons as directly as he has. | ||
In truth, it doesn't matter where, it doesn't matter if there's a connection between these two events. | ||
All that matters at this point is the outcome. | ||
Hegseth and war with Iran with all its terrible potentials becomes a much greater possibility. | ||
That makes supporting him and ensuring he stays in the job all the more urgent for patriots who care about a true America First foreign policy, as he points out that if Hegseth goes, a significant barrier to joint military action against Iran will have been removed. | ||
Indeed, there's good chance Hegseth will be replaced by an Iran hawk who will actively push for conflict. | ||
And I think that's true. | ||
So don't fall for the Hegseth crap. | ||
Don't even argue about it. | ||
Just say you know what the reality is. | ||
You know what the reality is. | ||
You understand why they're saying this stuff. | ||
It has nothing to do with actual outrage about Pete Hegseth. | ||
Chaos at the Pentagon. | ||
No, it has everything to do with creating the appearance of chaos in order to justify ousting somebody that doesn't want to go to war with Iran. | ||
And again, you can understand the... | ||
The intensity with which they're pursuing this goal, even in doing so, sort of outing themselves. | ||
Because again, they've made this gigantic gamble over the last year and a half. | ||
And if at the end of it, Iran can be destroyed, then it's smooth sailing for Israel from there on out. | ||
But if they don't destroy Iran, then all they've done is spend a year and a half And inspiring just millions and millions of more people to want to fight their country. | ||
So they're really, really, really, really desperate to get this done as soon as possible. | ||
And it doesn't look like Trump is taking the bait. | ||
And I'd say we're going to pat ourselves on the back a little bit, all of us collectively. | ||
The obvious solution to this, the easiest thing for them to do would be a false flag attack. | ||
And I think if the awareness of such actions wasn't as high as it is now, that would have already happened. | ||
I can easily imagine a scenario where Elon doesn't buy X, so there's not all the awareness about Israel that's grown over the last year and a half following October 7th. | ||
Where the media landscape is still tightly controlled by two sides, both of whom are dedicated to Israel, Republican and Democrat. | ||
And they're all pushing for that. | ||
And then suddenly an American aircraft carrier goes down off the coast of Iran. | ||
And the passport of the Iranian president is found floating nearby. | ||
And suddenly we have to go to war with Iran to avenge. | ||
They're dastardly an unexpected attack. | ||
And then, of course, a couple decades later, it'll come out. | ||
It was an Israeli attack the entire time. | ||
It's very easy to imagine a situation in which a singular false flag attack on something like an American aircraft carrier is the spark to war with Iran. | ||
I think at this point, they're running the AI simulations, and they're going, okay, what happens if we attack an aircraft carrier and blame it on Iran? | ||
And the AI is putting back like, yeah, no one's going to believe you. | ||
Nah, no one's going to buy it. | ||
Even if Iran attacked an aircraft carrier and like bragged about it, people still wouldn't believe it. | ||
People would still go, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
You're trying to get us into war. | ||
This is Israel. | ||
We all know about the USS Liberty now. | ||
We all know about the USS Maine. | ||
We all know how easy it is. | ||
I mean, think about it. | ||
The Lusitania, the USS Maine, the USS Liberty almost succeeded. | ||
But how many wars have started because a boat went down? | ||
And then how many of those boats going down are extremely suspicious and turn out not to be anything like we thought? | ||
Hell, the Lusitania was carrying arms to deliver to Britain, which made them a viable and justifiable war target for the German submarines. | ||
But they hide that fact and they say a German U-boat just blew a passenger ship out of the water. | ||
How insane. | ||
I guess we have to go to World War I now. | ||
Blew up in the harbor of Cuba, was blamed on the Spanish. | ||
When they finally floated the wreckage, they found out the explosion was inside the USS Maine. | ||
And it was blown outward. | ||
So it was either a boiler explosion or a bomb being placed. | ||
By the way, you should look up the name of the first person who reported the USS Maine and blamed it on Spain. | ||
All the way back in the late 1800s, right? | ||
It's like this is a tried and true practice. | ||
And of course, if they succeeded in killing everybody on board the USS Liberty, America would have gone to war with Egypt back in 1967. | ||
It didn't work back then. | ||
Now there's enough awareness of this tactic that it really is not viable for them anymore. | ||
Nobody's going to buy it. | ||
And I think they recognize that. | ||
And so they haven't been able to try that yet. | ||
It doesn't mean that they won't eventually. | ||
It doesn't mean that once they play all their other cards, they won't play the... | ||
you know, bomb a U.S. aircraft carrier card. | ||
But as of yet, I think that's a risk that they're | ||
not willing to take. | ||
unidentified
|
you. | |
And we can move on, but hopefully that makes sense to everybody. | ||
Again, I can't, I mean, honestly, it's so strange. | ||
The way they're trying to spin up this outrage. | ||
But I just want to say again, it's not even the stuff they're talking about that will be the impetus for Hegseth leaving. | ||
It is the media outrage itself. | ||
They're trying to create an atmosphere of chaos by saying there's an atmosphere of chaos. | ||
They're trying to get Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth replaced by saying that he's being replaced. | ||
Like, that's the thing. | ||
I don't even know if it's true when NPR says, you know, they're looking for a new Secretary of State. | ||
I don't know if that's true. | ||
It could very well be, you know, totally fabricated, but at least it gets people thinking in that direction and asking those questions and speaking as if it's a foregone conclusion and you can, like, shape reality by shaping the perception in that way. | ||
But I don't see what it actually says. | ||
Is the problem here, because I still haven't figured out what the problem is. | ||
Minutes before U.S. fighters took off to begin strikes against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen last month, Army General Michael Eric Kurilla, who leads the U.S. Central Command, used a secure U.S. government system to send detailed information about the operation to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. | ||
The material Kurilla sent included details about when U.S. fighters would take off and when they would hit their targets, detailed that could if they fell into the wrong hands. | ||
put the pilot pilots of those fighters in grave danger but he was doing exactly what he was supposed to do providing Hegseth his superior with information he needed to know and using a system specifically designed to safely transmit sensitive and classified information | ||
But then Hegseth used his personal phone to send some of the same information Carilla had given him to at least two group text messages on the Signal messaging app, three U.S. officials with direct knowledge of the exchanges told in MSNBC, NBC News, rather. | ||
The sequence of events, which has not been previously reported, could raise new questions about Hegseth's handling of the information, which he and the government have denied, was classified. | ||
In all, according to the two sources, less than 10 minutes of last between Kirill is giving Hegseth the information and Hegseth sending it to the two group chats, one of which included other cabinet-level officials and their designees, and inadvertently the editor of the Atlantic magazine. | ||
One of them was composed of Hegseth's wife, brother, and the attorney and some of his aides. | ||
So again, I mean, he isn't the one that put the Atlantic editor in the chat. | ||
That was Waltz. | ||
If anybody's to blame for this, it would be Waltz. | ||
Or you have to blame all of them because they were all using the Signal chat, even though the Signal messaging app was approved by the Biden administration and started to be used under the Biden administration. | ||
For secure communications. | ||
So what is the outrage here? | ||
No classified material was sent. | ||
The only way this even got out was because Walt added the editor of the Atlantic to the chat. | ||
unidentified
|
It's like the... | |
This is nothing. | ||
This is a nothing burger. | ||
So we're going to move on. | ||
We're going to stop talking about it, but I want to make sure that this fabricated, manufactured conflagration fizzles out as it should, even though they're doing everything they can to create the appearance of chaos and meltdown that does not appear to be the reality and appears to be entirely a just completely fabricated lie. | ||
Trying to house Pete Hegseth. | ||
It really is as simple as that. | ||
But all right, we'll move on. | ||
We can and we'll move on. | ||
We'll move on to one of the other, what should be biggest stories in the country right now. | ||
I mean, it is the biggest story, but I still don't think people... | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
Yeah, here's the... | ||
From Luke Radowski. | ||
Luke, we are change. | ||
Oh, no. | ||
Pete Hegseth had a signal chat with his wife. | ||
Meanwhile, the Democrats, and it's Jill Biden sitting on, I think on Air Force One, prepping for the G7 with all the papers out in front of her. | ||
Yeah, nobody voted for her. | ||
She's Joe Biden's wife. | ||
So there you go. | ||
It's like, oh my God, he texted his wife something. | ||
It's like, well, is his wife pretending to be the Secretary of Defense? | ||
Is she going in his place? | ||
To international conferences? | ||
No, then shut up. | ||
Because that's what you people have gotten away with. | ||
So pardon us. | ||
We don't take your outrage seriously. | ||
You despicable hypocrites. | ||
So the other thing that's happened over the weekend was a decision from the Supreme Court that is truly inexplicable. | ||
Nonsensical. I mean, it's almost like it was designed To give Trump the excuse that he needs, the only excuse that he would ever need, to act totally unilaterally and completely ignore objections from the Supreme Court. | ||
And I can't help but feel like this is a trick and a trap because of how Republicans are reacting to this. | ||
This is the skill, this is the ultimate skill of the globalist, is creating a Win-win situation for themselves where either Trump remains consistent with the precedent set and out of a sense of duty to the Constitution and the American governmental system adheres to what the Supreme Court says and subjects himself to their rulings | ||
or He overrides the Supreme Court, maybe destroys the Supreme Court, and sets the precedent for an executive branch that cannot be curtailed or restrained by either other branch of government. | ||
I mean, Congress at this point basically doesn't exist. | ||
I mean, it sucks because what they could be doing right now is incredibly powerful. | ||
The power that Congress has and the Senate has to back up Trump and what he's doing. | ||
And, you know, write into law to codify and make permanent some of the changes Trump is making. | ||
I mean, they could be doing a lot. | ||
We have total supremacy. | ||
We have a majority in the Senate and the Congress right now, and yet we're doing nothing with it. | ||
Just so, just unbelievably disappointing and continues to be disappointing. | ||
But the judiciary is clearly acting completely insane and making totally unconscionable decisions. | ||
And actually giving every excuse that Trump would need to go, yeah, you know what? | ||
I'm just not listening to you guys anymore. | ||
I'm the executive. | ||
People voted for me to do this. | ||
I'm just going to do it. | ||
And if that means we shatter the checks and balances of the American system, that's on you for abusing those checks and balances and trying to literally destroy America by making demands that we cannot fulfill. | ||
And Trump has actually said this. | ||
You can find his exact quote here. | ||
He says, I'm doing what I'm elected to do, remove criminals from our country, but the courts don't seem to want me to do that. | ||
My team is fantastic, doing an incredible job. | ||
However, they're being stymied at every turn by even the Supreme Court, which I have such great respect for, but which seemingly doesn't want me to send violent criminals and terrorists back to Venezuela or any other country for that matter, people that came here illegally. | ||
Great Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito correctly wants to dissolve the pause on deportations. | ||
He's right on that. | ||
He's right on this. | ||
If we don't get these criminals out of our country, we are not going to have a country any longer. | ||
We cannot give everyone a trial because to do so would take without exaggeration 200 years. | ||
We would need hundreds of thousands of trials for the hundreds of thousands of illegals we are sending out of the country. | ||
Such a thing is not possible to do. | ||
What a ridiculous situation we're in. | ||
Make America great again. | ||
And you have people like Jesse Kelly making this statement. | ||
We'll go to clip number two. | ||
I feel his outrage. | ||
I know exactly how I feel. | ||
I agree with him. | ||
But think about the dangerous precedent this is setting. | ||
But again, he's not wrong. | ||
He's not wrong, right? | ||
We're in a lose-lose situation. | ||
Either we adhere to the construct of our government and suddenly we're stuck with tens of millions of illegal immigrants that we are hamstrung and can't get out of the country. | ||
Or we shatter the creation of the Founding Fathers and move to a one-man rule situation because it's necessary for the continuing survival of our country. | ||
But it's not something that is conducive to liberty or the republic as it once stood. | ||
So let's go to clip number two here. | ||
Here's Jesse Kelly expressing what I think a lot of us feel. | ||
Not only should the Supreme Court be completely ignored by the Trump administration, anybody, officer of the court or otherwise, who tries to step in should be arrested and thrown in prison themselves. | ||
And if the Supreme Court wants to push the issue, the Supreme Court should be dissolved entirely, completely disappear the entire Supreme Court. | ||
Why do I say that? | ||
Because you do not have a country and cannot and will not have a country if they can import 20 million people without the court stopping them. | ||
Try to do so. | ||
We are told there's due process. | ||
There's the lower court. | ||
You have to do it the right way. | ||
This is the rule. | ||
This is the law. | ||
But what about the be-ve-ve-ve? | ||
I don't care And | ||
I don't celebrate where we are. | ||
I want to be clear about that. | ||
unidentified
|
This is a terrible place to be. | |
I can't believe that we are here. | ||
Yeah, I can't either. | ||
Genuinely doesn't make any sense. | ||
I mean, is the American government the government for the whole world? | ||
Because we're not set up for that. | ||
We're set up for our country. | ||
And our rights and our systems are built for our citizens. | ||
And people have made the point, and it might sound extreme or exaggerated or whatever, but it is true. | ||
Like, if China airdropped 10,000 paratroopers over the Midwest, like Red Dawn, Would we be able to get them then? | ||
Or would we have to give them a trial to oust them from the country? | ||
Would we have to provide a lawyer and an opposing lawyer and a counsel and a judge and a courtroom and the court stenographer and all of the money, all the resources that go into one single court proceeding? | ||
Would we have to do that 10,000 times over for every single person? | ||
I mean... | ||
Make citizenship mean something again. | ||
If you're an American citizen, you get all of the considerations of the American judiciary. | ||
If you're not, you don't. | ||
That's as simple as it should be. | ||
The only thing the Trump administration should be required to prove in court, if anything, should be the identity of the person that they are expelling. | ||
That's it. | ||
That's all. | ||
If you can prove that they're not a citizen, then you can expel them. | ||
You can send them to a camp. | ||
You can... | ||
Send them to El Salvador. | ||
You can send them to the Congo. | ||
They're not allowed in the country. | ||
I mean, it's the same like this. | ||
Imagine somebody breaks into your house. | ||
Instead of being able to tell them to leave or shoot them dead, you have to go to court to prove that they're not allowed. | ||
I mean, I guess that is what's happening with like squatters. | ||
But it's even worse when it's like, you know, your family's at home. | ||
Some dude breaks a window, climbs in. | ||
And like, instead of just being able to go get out, like, well, I don't know. | ||
I mean, he's got to be able to make his case, then you've got to make yours. | ||
And, you know, maybe the judge will decide that he's on that guy's side. | ||
And actually, he gets to stay in your house now. | ||
Like, no, that's not the way any of this works. | ||
This is our house. | ||
This country is our home. | ||
It's not their home. | ||
It's our home. | ||
And if they get in without our permission, we can kill them. | ||
Just like our home. | ||
Just like at home. | ||
If you come into my house without my permission, I'm going to kill you. | ||
Okay? Being expelled from my house would be a mercy on my part. | ||
So here we are being merciful to these people. | ||
Actually giving them a ride back home. | ||
And they want to complain about it. | ||
And the judge tells us we're not allowed to. | ||
This is outrageous. | ||
This is stupid. | ||
This is unacceptable. | ||
Can't go on. | ||
It just can't go on. | ||
Unsustainable is the word I'm looking for. | ||
And it already is. | ||
I mean, at this point, America might be lost already. | ||
We still have a chance if we can expel all these people. | ||
But if we listen to the Supreme Court, we're done for. | ||
And it makes no sense. | ||
It just... | ||
It flies in the face of just basic common sense, basic function of government, basic law and order, basic international rules. | ||
So I agree with Jesse Kelly. | ||
It's like, they're forcing us into this, but we are here, so we've got to deal with it. | ||
unidentified
|
The Supreme Court wants to destroy the country, and we have to destroy the Supreme Court. | |
And that's the only way about it. | ||
We'll be right back with more. | ||
unidentified
|
Stay with us. | |
Thank you. | ||
Thank you. | ||
All right, welcome back, folks. | ||
Again, we'll be joined by Mike Shelby in the next hour. | ||
Very excited to talk to him about what you could be doing in your own neighborhood to prepare for the promised civil war-like conditions that the Democrats plan to bring about just as soon as feasible. | ||
We're talking now about the Supreme Court and their just utterly asinine decision to stop President Trump from deporting illegal immigrants as if the illegal immigrants are somehow American citizens because they're on American land. | ||
I mean, this is nonsense. | ||
This is crazy. | ||
It really is. | ||
And so they put us in a very difficult position. | ||
And they've done it on a topic that, frankly, is an existential one, so people are willing to make those hard choices. | ||
And the question now is just, if President Trump will cross the Rubicon, Fully. | ||
You can't cross the Rubicon halfway, right? | ||
Once the Rubicon... | ||
If you don't know where this saying comes from, by the way, you're not allowed to lead an army into Rome. | ||
And the Rubicon was the barrier for how close you could get with an army to Rome. | ||
And Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicons where his famous quote, the die is cast, right? | ||
The die is cast. | ||
There's no pulling it back now. | ||
And whatever happens, we'll deal with the outcome. | ||
But you don't cross the Rubicon and then, like, cross back, right? | ||
Once you've crossed, you know, it's like the founding fathers, you know, saying, you know, we have to hang together or hang separate. | ||
John Hancock signing his signature large across the Declaration of Independence going, you know, I want King George to know who he's up against. | ||
Basically, you know, by signing that paper, they're like, either we succeed in our rebellion, we free ourselves from Britain, or we're all going to hang. | ||
We're all going to die. | ||
Right? So that's sort of where Trump is at right now. | ||
His horse is pawing the edge of the Rubicon. | ||
And if he crosses, You can't do it in a timid fashion. | ||
You can't halfway cross. | ||
You can't kind of cross somewhere and not cross elsewhere. | ||
Once you're across, once the army's in the Roman territory, you're now at war. | ||
And one or the other army has to be destroyed. | ||
So that's... | ||
What I'm worried about is timidity. | ||
What I'm worried about are half measures. | ||
That's the ultimate way that we lose. | ||
And again, I think I can explain what I mean by that. | ||
Let's go first to clip number six. | ||
This is Stephen Miller talking about this SCOTUS decision. | ||
And again, with someone like Steve Miller at the head, I think that the crossing of the Rubicon is in good hands, basically, and what's necessary will be done. | ||
We'll get into how this could backfire hugely on the other side. | ||
Here's Steve Miller. | ||
You have, in this case, illegal aliens from Venezuela sent here by Maduro, who are members of a foreign terrorist organization, Train de Uruguay, an organization that the intelligence community has found, | ||
is operating at the direction. | ||
Of a hostile, adversarial foreign regime carrying out criminal enterprises to destabilize the political system in the United States. | ||
Those are the facts when it comes to TDA. | ||
So they're all illegal, they're all gang members, they're all foreign terrorists. | ||
And now we are being told... | ||
That they cannot be expelled from our country without an extraordinary amount of individualized adjudication at the district court, circuit court, supreme court, up and down, up and down, | ||
up and down. | ||
No American citizen! | ||
Receives this level of so-called due process. | ||
This isn't due process. | ||
This is called infinity process to keep you here forever. | ||
That's what this is. | ||
No, it's crazy. | ||
No American citizen charged with a crime, with a serious crime inside the United States, a U.S.-born American citizen. | ||
Receives this kind of process, millions of dollars in free legal services, representation at every single level. | ||
Do you think that there is any, for example, any American citizen who was persecuted, who was innocent related to January 6th? | ||
Do you think they could just get this kind of relief, this kind of process? | ||
It was never available to them. | ||
The whole system was rigged against them, just like it's rigged in favor of illegal alien invaders. | ||
Yes, I completely agree with him. | ||
And again, it's like people have forgotten the term abuse of power. | ||
There's this weird thing that happens with Democrats where it's like, well, they had the power. | ||
Like, yeah, but they're abusing it. | ||
You understand that, right? | ||
Just because you technically have the capability of doing something doesn't mean that your actions are therefore unquestionable. | ||
So, like... | ||
If I was elected to some position where I had the power to build a new stadium for the high school, and I used that power to enrich my friends with a construction company and give them the contract because I'd get a kickback, | ||
was it abuse of power? | ||
I mean, I was the one who was supposed to supply the contract. | ||
I did supply the contract. | ||
I mean, what's the big deal? | ||
Well, the big deal is you're abusing your power. | ||
You're using the power that you have inappropriately. | ||
And the whole agreement that we have, the deal we have with our government is they have this incredible power on the condition that they use it responsibly and for our benefit. | ||
The moment that they don't, they can be removed and their decisions can be undone. | ||
So, just because... | ||
You know, some leftist activist has been put in judge robes by Obama. | ||
It doesn't mean that they're therefore infallible and their every decision is law. | ||
And the powers that they have, they can just use however they want for whatever reason they want, and we have to listen to it. | ||
They're only there as a functionary to serve the law and the American people. | ||
The minute they're not doing that, they're not fit for purpose, they should be removed, taken out. | ||
Maybe even jailed. | ||
But I'm frustrated. | ||
I don't really have a solution that fulfills both the criteria of saving our country and adhering to our Republican system as established because basically every court is interfering to a ridiculous degree in making decisions that are destroying our country. | ||
If we have to make the choice between upholding a system that no longer works or destroying the system and surviving, I'm going to go with destroy the system and survive. | ||
However, I can very much see the danger that sets, the dangerous precedent that sets. | ||
Liberals don't ever have to worry about setting precedent because even if they do, Republicans never meet them there. | ||
They never match that. | ||
They never actually fulfill the threat of, oh, you're setting a precedent here. | ||
You don't want to do that because you won't like it when we're in charge. | ||
And then we get in charge and we go, we would never do that. | ||
We're too principled. | ||
We don't want to set the precedent. | ||
It's like, no, the precedent has already been set. | ||
So now you need to act on that. | ||
We'll never do that. | ||
But we do have to worry about setting precedents because then the liberals will take extraordinary measures if they think that they can point to us and say, well, they did it first. | ||
Even if it's not true. | ||
So this is how I put it on X, and I don't think I can phrase it any better than this. | ||
I said, looks like everybody on both sides are playing their roles to perfection. | ||
It's usually tough to justify abandoning a system of checks and balances in favor of one-man rule, but if you can get the judiciary to make insanely retarded rulings that literally destroy your country over and over and have a Congress so incompetent, bought-off, and partisan that they might as well not exist. | ||
Well, then investing unchecked power in the executive branch becomes the only viable solution. | ||
What an incredibly dangerous and tyrannical situation the left has forced us into by refusing to allow common-sense policies necessary for the basic function of our nation. | ||
F-ing morons. | ||
And then I get into where I'm worried this goes really wrong, which is this. | ||
It would be the next step. | ||
The next step would be for Trump to timidly violate judicial rulings. | ||
Not enough to actually solve anything, but just enough to justify the left's shrieking panic at dictatorship. | ||
At that point, they will fully launch color revolution. | ||
The half-hearted patriots on our side will bow down to the sacred constitution and refuse to put them down. | ||
Then the radicalized Dems will take control and enact the most insane and oppressive regime ever. | ||
Utterly eviscerating the remaining constitutional order because, well, it's just too dangerous to allow for the possibility of another dictator like Trump. | ||
You know how Trump got elected. | ||
It was because of all that free speech we had. | ||
Then sucker patriots will try to invoke judicial limitations, but oops, we had to get rid of those because some gosh darn El Salvadorian goblin got sent home at some point. | ||
That's what I'm really worried about. | ||
What I'm really worried about is timidity. | ||
What I'm really, really worried about... | ||
It's like they ignore the Supreme Court ruling, but then continue to only deport like 500 people a month. | ||
That would be the worst of both worlds. | ||
That would be giving the Democrats all of the justification they need to go, well, if we can just ignore the Supreme Court, which again, it's like they've already set this president already. | ||
Joe Biden ignored the Supreme Court when it came to the forgiveness of student loans. | ||
They literally bragged about doing it. | ||
They've talked about destroying or packing the Supreme Court openly as a matter of policy. | ||
You even have smaller institutions, colleges and government branches, when ordered by the Supreme Court to stop DEI and to eliminate affirmative action, they just keep doing it anyway. | ||
So at a certain point, the Supreme Court... | ||
It's sort of arbitrary. | ||
I mean, at least when it comes to decisions that go against the Democrats, they just ignore them and continue doing them regardless. | ||
So, like, that's fine. | ||
I think Trump should do that. | ||
I do. | ||
I think Trump should go, look, this is stupid. | ||
I'm just going to keep deporting foreigners. | ||
And, you know, if there's a problem with it, then their countries can defend them. | ||
Their countries can sue the United States. | ||
Their countries can get in contact with us diplomatically. | ||
And try to protect their citizens, but we're not going to spend resources protecting their citizens from breaking our laws. | ||
So he does need to ignore this, but only if it's in service of, like, the mass deportations that we require. | ||
You can only cross the Rubicon if you're fully committed to going to war and having it out once and for all and doing what's necessary to save this country and get us back on the right track. | ||
If you violate the Supreme Court order and are still only deporting a couple thousand people a month, you might as well just follow the court's rulings because it's not even worth it at the end of the day and it only makes things worse by setting | ||
the precedent of judicial law. | ||
Workarounds. | ||
Again, we're in a tough situation. | ||
I pray to God that... | ||
Trump and his team is taking it seriously enough, and if they do decide to cross the Rubicon in that way, they go all the way and not just dip their toe in the Rubicon in that matter. | ||
Now, I've got a lot more videos to show you, sort of in different topics, but they're all extremely interesting. | ||
Let's go to... | ||
This story, clip number three. | ||
This is Ron Johnson, and the story is at InfoWars. | ||
Alex has put out his own video about this that you can find on his ex at RealAlexJones. | ||
Senator Ron Johnson says 9-11 hearing is being planned and questions the controlled demolition of Building 7. Will we get a true investigation and justice for September 11th here, 24 years after the event? | ||
Here's Ron Johnson. | ||
What would you like to know about September 11th, the official story there, Senator? | ||
Well, let's start with Building 7. Again, I don't know that you can find structural engineers other than the ones that have the corrupt investigation inside NIST that would say that that thing didn't come down in any other way than a controlled demolition. | ||
I mean, you just look at that. | ||
You talk about molten steel. | ||
Again, you listen to the documentary Bravo 7. There's an awful lot of questions. | ||
You know, who ordered the removal and the destruction of all that evidence? | ||
Totally contrary to any other firefighting investigation procedures. | ||
I mean, who ordered that? | ||
Who was in charge? | ||
I think there's some basic information. | ||
Where's all the documentation from this investigation? | ||
There are a host of questions that I want and I will be asking, quite honestly, now that my eyes have been opened up. | ||
I've talked to former Congressman Kurt Weldon now. | ||
I will work with him to expose what he's willing to expose as well. | ||
Wow. So we may actually see hearings about this. | ||
I think so. | ||
And by the way, this has opened up when my ranking member now, when he was chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee Investigation, he did the investigation on the PGA and Live Golf and the PIF. | ||
Part of that is we had 9-11 families coming forward and saying, we want the FBI files. | ||
Unredacted. We want those made available in terms of what happened. | ||
What did the FBI know had happened? | ||
So we got engaged with that on a bipartisan basis. | ||
We want to get those answers, those documents for the families. | ||
Again, we didn't get squat from the FBI. | ||
So hopefully now with this administration, I think President Trump should have some interest in being a New Yorker himself. | ||
What actually happened in 9 /11? | ||
What do we know? | ||
What is being covered up? | ||
My guess is there's an awful lot. | ||
Being covered up in terms of what the American government knows about 9-11. | ||
Yeah, I think so too. | ||
I think so as well. | ||
Again, this is in and of itself a total victory for the truthers. | ||
And I've talked about it before, about the fact that 20 years ago, you say 9-11 was an inside job. | ||
99% of the people you say that to are outraged, horrified, offended. | ||
They look at you like you're crazy. | ||
They don't want anything to do with you anymore. | ||
I mean, it was not easy being a 9-11 truther in the early 2000s. | ||
Trust me. | ||
But something happened, and you can't really put your finger on exactly what it was. | ||
I mean, there wasn't one big document release. | ||
There wasn't a big leak. | ||
There wasn't an admission from the United States government. | ||
There wasn't a documentary that Won an Oscar and totally changed the conversation. | ||
It was just the persistent drip, the persistent insistence that something doesn't add up here. | ||
And over time, and with enough conviction, the truth eventually outs. | ||
And we're just seeing the beginning of that as you now have. | ||
And I'm telling you, go back 20 years. | ||
Nobody would believe you. | ||
You go back in the time machine and go, hey, guys, 2025, you got senators saying that Building 7 was a controlled demolition and demanding to know who gave the order to bring it down. | ||
Of course, 20 years ago, the response would have been, oh, it was Larry Silverstein. | ||
Because we already know. | ||
Because we've already known the whole time. | ||
He gave an interview where he said, we made the decision to pull it. | ||
Think about that. | ||
Larry Silverstein, who owned the... | ||
The World Trade Center buildings, he bought them a couple months before the attack. | ||
He insured them for double against terrorist attacks. | ||
He won the biggest insurance settlement in history by far. | ||
Made billions and billions of dollars on this. | ||
Also happened to take the day off that one day. | ||
It was like the one day in the year he hadn't been at his office that early in the morning because he had a dermatology appointment or something. | ||
Very coincidental. | ||
So lucky. | ||
We call him Lucky Larry. | ||
Old Lucky Larry over here. | ||
Also owned Building 7. Am I crazy? | ||
I mean, do I... | ||
Am I imagining this, or do we remember the interview where he said, we decided to pull it? | ||
Do we have it? | ||
Is that the footage we're watching right now? | ||
Yeah, we should watch that, just so people know I'm not making it up. | ||
Because you really have to think about what that means. | ||
What does that mean, we decided to pull it? | ||
I mean, what I picture is like a giant chain hanging from the building and they just yank on it and the whole thing tips over. | ||
Like, this isn't a cartoon. | ||
That's not how it works. | ||
You can't just take down a building on a whim. | ||
What that means is controlled demolition, which means weeks of preparation beforehand. | ||
Or, you know, bringing in heavy machinery to knock the building down with, you know, wrecking balls and that sort of thing. | ||
Here's Lucky Larry Silverstein talking about pulling Building 7. I remember getting a call from the fire department commander telling me that they were not sure they were going to be able to contain the fire. | ||
unidentified
|
I said, you know, we've had such a terrible loss of life. | |
Maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it. | ||
And they made that decision to pull. | ||
and then we watched the building collapse | ||
I mean, it literally doesn't make any sense. | ||
He says we made the decision to pull it. | ||
I mean, what? | ||
What? What do you mean? | ||
What does that even mean? | ||
The only thing it could mean, but it doesn't mean this, but the only thing it could mean would be pull the people out and just say, yeah, just let the building burn. | ||
In which case it would have burned, not collapsed. | ||
But it collapsed in on its own footprint, like in controlled demolition. | ||
And then he said that was because he decided to pull it. | ||
And I'm not speculating here, and I don't have to guess or ask questions about who is responsible. | ||
He's right there. | ||
That's him. | ||
You're looking for a goblin-looking dude with too much money. | ||
That's your number one suspect because he admitted it on live TV. | ||
So, I mean, it's like, okay, here we are again presenting the serial killer, you know, going, yeah, we know who the serial killer is. | ||
He's on TV talking about all the killing he does. | ||
But let's continue the investigation. | ||
Let's see if we can't get more evidence. | ||
Let's see if we can't ask more questions. | ||
Let's see if we can't delay justice for another 20 years while we all try to figure out what most of us figured out 15 years ago. | ||
So yeah, Senator Ron Johnson is asking about the controlled demolition of Building 7, saying the 9-11 hearings are planned. | ||
Which, great. | ||
Great. Let's do it. | ||
Let's just... | ||
maybe act on the infinite | ||
of evidence that we already have and already know. | ||
unidentified
|
*laughs* | |
I got some more videos to show you. | ||
I might save them for the next hour. | ||
But I gotta say, there's a... | ||
Yeah, I'll play... | ||
Alright, so in the next hour I'll play a man on the street thing. | ||
You know, there's a... | ||
There's a renaissance of man-on-the-street material right now. | ||
And this is sort of, it's gone in waves. | ||
I think it all really got kicked off around 2015-2016 when you had Trump rallies, and at every rally you have these massive conflicts between right and left. | ||
I mean, it's where Owen Schroer came from, right? | ||
The classic, iconic image of these groups surrounding two guys debating, and it's, you're a white male! | ||
You had a lot of that, and you had a lot of man-on-the-street content of intense arguments, debates, making lefties look like libtards, right? | ||
That was the old form. | ||
And then it kind of got old, and people didn't do it as much anymore, and the lefties figured out what was going on, so they stopped answering questions. | ||
Even by the time I joined InfoWars in 2017, by 2018... | ||
Anytime we'd go to one of these events, the organizers in the little neon vest would rush up and tell anybody talking to us, don't talk to them, don't talk to them. | ||
They're only trying to trick you. | ||
So, like, it became more difficult. | ||
They learned that they looked like idiots. | ||
They tried to express themselves. | ||
They stopped arguing. | ||
And it sort of fell out of style. | ||
And now there's been a resurgence. | ||
There's been a renaissance of man-on-the-street material because now it's right-wingers just making jokes out of the left-wingers. | ||
And I think, like, Edgar the Puppet. | ||
Ask America with Edgar is a great representative of this. | ||
This guy we're about to show you in the first five minutes of the next hour is like the best out there right now, just trolling lefties. | ||
And he puts on this like kind of effeminate voice and goes around protests and just gets leftists to make idiots out of themselves. | ||
And it's really, it's fun and it's brilliant and it's good, but it's not what it used to be. | ||
It's not arguments. | ||
It's not debates. | ||
It's not hashing it out and yelling at each other and calling each other's names. | ||
Right-wingers being silly and left-wingers getting super mad about it or not realizing what's going on and making themselves look like idiots. | ||
So I'm for it. | ||
I'm in favor of this. | ||
And I love this style of content because it's humorous and funny and really gets to the truth even more than very serious debates can because it just shows the lefties and all of their absurd natural habitat. | ||
So I'm going to show you that video in just a second. | ||
I do want to remind you. | ||

As a fresh, apologize for my whiteness. | |
Could we get an apology for your whiteness? | ||
For my whiteness? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I'm sorry for being a publication. | |
Look at Tesla logo upside down. | ||
What that says? | ||
KKK. What is most upsetting to you by Elon Musk? | ||
I think he has a big ego. | ||
We know that he takes some meds. | ||
Maybe even Viagra. | ||
Well, that's not... | ||
I mean, I take Cialis. | ||
Are you making fun of people taking medication? | ||
Yeah, because he's depleted. | ||
That's what I meant. | ||
How do you get so many liberal scumbags in one place all together? | ||
It's amazing. | ||
It's pretty awesome. | ||
We're actually fighting for saving democracy. | ||
Back the fuck up away from me. | ||
Back the fuck up. | ||
We're actually chill, man. | ||
We're here for just saving democracy. | ||
I do love working class guys, and they just take what they want. | ||
Sometimes I just want that. | ||
We wouldn't even need a dildo to shove it up me. | ||
Tell us about the right vilifying these organizations like MS-13 gang ones and kind of reshaping the narrative of who the real oppressor is. | ||
Yeah, I think that they're basically trying to, like you said, villainize people, saying like MS-13. | ||
To some extent, we're the ones imprisoning them, but we make it seem like they're the bad guys. | ||
Yes, exactly. | ||
What do you want to say to the freedom fighters of El Salvador and MS-13? | ||
I think that we just need to, I don't know, just honestly fuck this whole thing, fuck the whole system, and that's how I feel. | ||
But we as white Americans, we support them. | ||
Yes, exactly. | ||
The right wants to talk about deporting MS-13. | ||
What about reparations? | ||
Do you worry sometimes that the megaphones are silencing BIPOC birds in the area? | ||
I'm really interested in reaching out to police and military because I think that there's a lot of people in the police and military, including veterans, who would stand with us against fascism, defend the Constitution, defend their families and communities. | ||
You know, how confident are you we could use the police and military to democratically overthrow President Trump? | ||
I think it's up for grabs and the thing we need to do to get the... | ||
It might be a minority at the beginning, but it will be a crucial minority. | ||
A couple of police officers and they'll all be like, let's, let's, you know, but we want to democratically take them out, right? | ||
With force. | ||
I don't care how we take them out. | ||
I'm loving these freedom fighters dancing away. | ||
Will you dance for, will you dance for Palestine? | ||
While you're shopping, bombs are dropping. | ||
That's what I thought. | ||
Weren't you selling t-shirts at the Trump rally? | ||
Man, everywhere is a rally, bro. | ||
My God! | ||
I chase people. | ||

You know what? | |
I could never be mad at a black man, so that was a pretty cool answer. | ||
There's an orgasm gap between men and women. | ||
So we need our sex toys, but we need a lot. | ||
We need small business. | ||
It's the backbone of America. | ||
What percentage of dildos, like a lot of the materials, come in from China? | ||
It's between 70 and 90 percent. | ||
I also feel like you mentioned the orgasm we have for women, but there's also a lot of men, myself included, who do also need penetration from dildos. | ||
Yeah. I mean, if you neglect the prostate, it's just as bad as neglecting the clitoris. | ||
A hundred percent. | ||
You're oppressing me. | ||
You guys are oppressing me right now. | ||
I feel so oppressed by you. | ||
In my space, my safe space of protesting. | ||
That's what I thought. | ||
Oppressors, they can't handle it. | ||
Is a black police officer really an oppressor, or are they internally oppressed by doing what they're doing? | ||
What does your shirt say? | ||
My shirt says,"In Fauci we trust." Oh, yeah. | ||
Well, there's a man with integrity. | ||
I can't say much to that effect regarding myself. | ||
What's the effect on society when you give an unelected bureaucrat so much power that he can completely shut down society if he wants to? | ||
Well, you're spiraling till the end of democracy, that's for sure. | ||

We're going to go from the silliest side of the Democratic Party to the most dangerous on the other side with Mike Shelby. | ||
unidentified
|
anywhere. | |
This is the American Journal. | ||
I'm your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
My guest today is Mike Shelby. | ||
He's the author of the Area Intelligence Handbook and is an expert on low-intensity conflict, irregular warfare, and the gray zone. | ||
He spent part of every year from 2006 to 2011 deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan as an intelligence NCO and intel contractor. | ||
You can follow him on X at grayzoneintel, and that's G-R-A-Y, zoneintel, on X. And the website... | ||
GrayzoneResearch.substack.com or GrayzoneStore.com. | ||
Mike Shelby, thank you so much for joining us once again today, sir. | ||
Hey, Harrison, thanks. | ||
It's good to be back. | ||
Thanks for having me. | ||
Well, it's great to have you, and I thought I should have you because last week I actually read your entire thread on air about basically the anti-Trump movement and how they're mobilizing and getting ready to bring about chaos. | ||
And so I figured I might as well bring you on and... | ||
Ask you to elaborate on what you've published about the anti-Trump movement and its growing intensity in the conflict. | ||
So can you tell us, what are you, as you look forward as an intelligence analyst, what do you think the play is for the more extreme ends of the Democratic Party? | ||
What are they planning in the next few months? | ||
Broadly, we can break the left up into the progressive left and the far left. | ||
So the reformist left, the people who don't want to topple the government, they want to take it over. | ||
And then the revolutionary left that does want to topple government. | ||
And not only abolish the government, abolish prisons, abolish churches, abolish police, abolish America. | ||
All forms of oppressive hierarchy. | ||
And so when I look at these two groups, let's just start with the progressive left, kind of the core of the... | ||
Trump resistance 2.0. | ||
They got off to a slow start. | ||
You know, they had all these strategy calls happen between November of last year to January this year. | ||
And they've, I think even to this point, they've kind of struggled to gain traction. | ||
They're trying to build a house and they're building a foundation. | ||
They're trying to build a mass protest movement. | ||
That's why we saw the April 5th Day of Action, which was a national protest. | ||
They claimed that they mobilized 5 million people. | ||
Doubt that. | ||
Maybe $3 million, which is not insignificant. | ||
And then they had this past weekend, they had the April 19th Day of Action. | ||
At best, it was the same size, likely smaller. | ||
I don't have the exact numbers on that. | ||
And then on May Day, coming up on Thursday, May 1st, International Workers' Day, they're having another National Day of Action. | ||
It's on a Thursday. | ||
I doubt it's larger than the previous two. | ||
And so they're trying to build this. | ||
Sustained mass protest movement. | ||
Because once you have that foundation, then you can start building the next sections of the House, and the next sections of the House is going to be direct action. | ||
For progressives, predominantly nonviolent direct action, but they're going to have to escalate, and that's what they're trying to build. | ||
Yeah, and it seems to me like, you know, we're sort of celebrating, we're almost dancing on the graves of the Democratic Party after Trump's victory because I mean, from every metric, it was like they were collapsing, their support was collapsing. | ||
Still, it's fairly well collapsed, right? | ||
And even just the viewing figures on CNN and MSNBC, I mean, it seemed like the whole Democratic Party just sort of threw up its hands and went, ah, we give up, forget about it. | ||
Even though they're still trying to cobble together resistance, there just wasn't anything there. | ||
But what I noticed is that... | ||
It was the extreme left giving up on politics. | ||
They weren't giving up on their positions, and they weren't any less radical. | ||
They just sort of, with Kamala Harris and what a terrible candidate she was, and Chuck Schumer is the leader of the Democratic Party, and they're just like, you know, forget politics. | ||
We need something more extreme. | ||
And they sort of went underground. | ||
So they're still as active and still as radical as ever. | ||
They're just not as public and out in the open and definitely not as supportive of the corporate. | ||
Democratic Party, but they're still out there planning and activating. | ||
Do you think that's a good read of the situation? | ||
Yeah, when we look at the Democrat Party, there's the establishment or the mainstream Democrats, and then there's the Democratic Socialists, kind of the left wing of the Democrat Party. | ||
And they have, for years now, going back to 2016, in this latest iteration, Presidential run by Bernie Sanders. | ||
There has been somewhat of a political insurgency inside the Democrat Party where Bernie Sanders, AOC, the squad have been battling for control. | ||
And Joe Biden, they lost. | ||
And with Kamala Harris, they lost. | ||
And that's one reason why Sanders and AOC have been on this nationwide tour. | ||
Trying to build back a case for farther left politics. | ||
A break from the mainstream establishment Democrat Party and the adoption of essentially a democratic socialist platform. | ||
I'm not sure that they're going to win, but they're making a run for it. | ||
And so I think they are trying to rebuild that base of support that they need, and they're in the process of that. | ||
I'm not sure how successful they're going to be, but we do know Democrats have a very low favorability rating. | ||
A lot of people are just distraught. | ||
I think there's a level of not only dissatisfaction, but of Fatalism, maybe. | ||
But midterms are coming up, and historically, the party out of power are going to sweep into power. | ||
Good chance Democrats take back the House. | ||
And so I think that's going to give them an opportunity to put their foot on the gas heading into 2028. | ||
And maybe the farther left, the social Democrat wing of the Democratic Party does emerge as taking the party over. | ||
I'm not sure. | ||
Well, it's extremely worrying, right? | ||
Because, you know, if we don't get what we need to done now, even in terms of just, you know, securing the voter system so we can actually trust the results of our election. | ||
I mean, come the midterms, the Democrats take power. | ||
It's largely it for Trump's administration, right? | ||
They'll be able to hamstring him continually. | ||
And God forbid they get back into power in the way they're being, the way they are being made, you know, massively. | ||
Extremist and, you know, calling what Trump and Elon are doing genocide. | ||
I mean, they're being radicalized. | ||
If they ever get in power again, they're going to act on those ideas. | ||
One thing that I've noticed, and I wonder if you can help shed some light on this, is the age of people protesting these days. | ||
I mean, they're still holding these protests. | ||
Like you mentioned, April 5th, April whatever it was, 18th, the Tesla protest. | ||
And it seems like every time we get footage of this, it's like nothing but gray hair. | ||
And it's like, it's nothing but old people. | ||
Where are all the young people and why are they not involved? | ||
My reading of this, again, is that, you know, the young people are like, ah, what's the point? | ||
Protesting doesn't matter. | ||
We want something more, right? | ||
So the young people are the ones planting the bombs at the Tesla dealership. | ||
They're not the ones waving the sign out in front. | ||
What do you think is behind the bizarre increase in age of the average protester out in front of Tesla these days? | ||
I think it's just a matter of demographics. | ||
I mean, you look at a lot of districts in this country swinging farther to the right in this last general election, and we can look at polling and survey data, and it does appear that Gen Z is farther to the right than previous generations. | ||
You know, there's a generational swing. | ||
You know, you have the FDR generation, and then you have the Reagan generation. | ||
Maybe we had the Obama generation. | ||
Now maybe we have the Trump generation. | ||
So I do think the pendulum is swinging back from the extremes under Obama back towards the center and center-right and probably beyond for Generation Z. So I think that would explain why these protests skew to the polar. | ||
I think there's also a lot of concern about Social Security and Medicare, and that's getting the boomers out into the streets. | ||
And young people, they don't care about Social Security, Medicare. | ||
They know they're not going to get it. | ||
Yeah, it's interesting. | ||
And also, it's bizarre the way the boomers have picked up the transgender activists. | ||
I mean, it's like, even just the video that we just saw, I mean, the protest is indistinguishable from a pride parade. | ||
It seems like being transgender is like the only thing they have to argue about anymore. | ||
And it's weird seeing these boomers that are like... | ||
Furious about transgenderism. | ||
But that's a whole other topic. | ||
The real reason I want to have you on is because you actually provide on-the-ground advice for what people can do now to prepare for what comes next. | ||
And it's looking like they are slowly but surely building up, in their words, these civil war conditions that they've wanted to and talked about creating since before Trump was elected. | ||
They are building that up. | ||
It could get very dangerous very quickly. | ||
And people need to know what they can do to protect themselves and their family, you know, if that were to come about. | ||
Again, I read through your whole thread. | ||
It must have been last week, maybe the week before. | ||
But it begins with, on April 5th, the anti-Trump movement mobilized up to 3 million protesters nationwide. | ||
There will be another one. | ||
It will likely be smaller. | ||
But don't be fooled. | ||
The U.S. is on verge of another disruptive summer. | ||
So obviously you're referencing, like, the summer of love, 2020, Black Lives Matter, the riots, the chaos. | ||
I mean, what do you think leads to that type of situation this summer? | ||
Do you think that's what they're preparing for, something at that level? | ||
I don't expect another 2020. | ||
I don't think the national mood is there. | ||
I still think a majority of Americans have common sense, and they didn't like their roads being blocked, and they didn't like their businesses being shut down, and they didn't like the crime and the lawlessness of that summer. | ||
So I doubt we see another 2020. | ||
However... If we look at the underlying factors that enabled 2020, there was a recession, there were the pandemic lockdowns, so people were out of work, they weren't going to school, and they're also being paid. | ||
There was net moratoriums and stimulus payments, so people had walking around money. | ||
If we do get into a recession scenario this year or next year, then we're going to... | ||
Replay at least some of the conditions that enabled 2020. | ||
So I don't see another summer of love happening unless we're talking about lots of people being out of work, number one. | ||
But I think it's going to be a little more targeted this time. | ||
On previous calls, you had Chris Murphy, a Democrat senator from Connecticut, late last month talking about getting hundreds of thousands of people out into the street in these mass demonstrations, which they're trying to sustain now. | ||
You have, last week there was an organizer from CASA, which is a pro-illegal immigrant rights group, talking about getting out and blocking immigration aircraft, which I believe is a felony. | ||
I think incitement to do that is probably some kind of accessory to felony. | ||
But this is the kind of stuff they're talking about on these calls and these all calls and strategy sessions. | ||
So I do think they want to escalate. | ||
Like you said, there's a huge amount of sentiment that protests don't work. | ||
We can look at the empirical data. | ||
Protests do not work. | ||
And so they're going to have to escalate, but they've got to build a mass protest movement before they start engaging in direct action. | ||
So you have protests that are standing on a sidewalk saying, we don't like what's happening. | ||
Then you have direct action, which is direct interdiction or direct involvement in trying to stop those specific policies. | ||
So blocking ICE vans, de-arresting, blocking deportation planes, those are all... | ||
Predominantly nonviolent direct action. | ||
I think that's got to be the next phase for them. | ||
Yeah, and of course we know where it goes from there because you have – what they're trying to do is create the situation in which Trump is forced to unleash the National Guard or in some other way. | ||
You know, violate the norms of American law and order so they can claim, oh my God, he's a dictator. | ||
He's trying to, you know, stifle our free speech. | ||
This is unacceptable. | ||
And either make the most out of that they can politically or use that to inspire more resistance. | ||
But basically, they're trying to push Trump to declare martial law or, you know, invoke the Insurrection Act. | ||
They're trying to create those conditions in order to justify their, you know, impeaching him or otherwise, you know, politically blocking him. | ||
And so again, in this thread, which I think you laid out very clearly, you have symbolic resistance leading to selective resistance, leading to mass resistance, leading to color revolution. | ||
So we're still in that symbolic resistance phase, right? | ||
Can you walk us through these phases and where it goes from here? | ||
Yeah, this is the building the house. | ||
So they're still in symbolic resistance. | ||
There have been mass protests. | ||
There have been what I would characterize as mass mobilization. | ||
I think the... | ||
The national days of action have been moderately successful. | ||
But it's symbolic. | ||
It's toothless. | ||
They're not affecting any change. | ||
But you have to build symbolic resistance because you have to build a movement. | ||
You have to prove that your movement has staying power. | ||
This will be the third national day of protests in the past month. | ||
I think they're trying to prove that they have sustainability there. | ||
And if you can push people in the streets, if you can push millions of Americans into the streets, then you can... | ||
Enable the next phase, which would be selective resistance. | ||
So this is strategic, targeted, direct action. | ||
And it does a couple of things. | ||
Number one, it's going to rile up the left base. | ||
You want to normalize civil disobedience and disruptive, but predominantly nonviolent forms of direct action and interference. | ||
This means people are getting arrested. | ||
People are going to jail. | ||
And now you have the 2020 effect where you have this authoritarian government arresting peaceful protesters. | ||
And yeah, I think they do. | ||
There has been a lot of talk about what they do if Trump invokes the Insurrection Act. | ||
And Trump has previously said himself that is on the table. | ||
So I think it would probably be a mistake to do that. | ||
However, he might do it. | ||
And I think that would probably lead us to something much closer to 2020. | ||
But yeah, so you have selective resistance, which is the next phase. | ||
Which is targeted strategic direct action, like blocking deportation planes. | ||
As a matter of fact, they're talking about, I guess there's an airport in Tucson, Arizona, where a lot of these deportation flights are leaving. | ||
So I can't be predictive with that, but they're talking about this Tucson airport. | ||
That may be the next phase of direct action. | ||
And then you get into mass resistance. | ||
So people have to be aggrieved. | ||
They have to have... | ||
Grievances that are severe enough for them to be arrested and for them to take direct action to come off the sidelines, move from pretty passive protesting, again, toothless protest, to mass direct action. | ||
And then when you have millions of Americans, or I don't know, I should call some of these people Americans, but when you have millions of people attacking the legitimacy, the authority, and the capacity of the federal government or the Trump administration, that's... | ||
Those are preconditions for a color revolution, which I think is a worst-case scenario, but it is obviously a scenario that we can see heading into 2028. | ||
Well, and we see the really extreme radicalization in individual cases, right? | ||
I mean, how many assassination attempts against Trump have there been? | ||
How many people have been found at the Congress with loaded guns seeking somebody out? | ||
I mean, on the individual level, clearly there are people that aren't just... | ||
You know, giving up on politics. | ||
I mean, they are radicalized and, you know, they want to go kill or die to stop Trump. | ||
So it's about sort of, I guess, taking that and exporting that to a wider populace, which I see things like the celebration of and practical deification of Luigi Mangione in line with this, right? | ||
Can you talk a little bit about that and the way that sort of this, there's this soft or subtle allowing of this to happen, you know, that... | ||
Democratic politicians are sort of with a wink and a nod going, yeah, maybe we need more Luigi Mangione's out there. | ||
I mean, to me, this is horribly troubling that people are actually supportive of a guy who shot a father of two in the back for no reason, a guy he didn't know and done nothing wrong to him. | ||
But people are celebrating this. | ||
I mean, what does that say to you about the condition of the civil society right now? | ||
Yeah, I think they're largely leaderless. | ||
I think, at least in part, an attempt to establish some leadership. | ||
That's why they have their martyrs. | ||
They need people to lionize. | ||
They need a handful of people. | ||
Whether they're leaders or martyrs, they have to be lionized. | ||
They have to be inspirational. | ||
They have to move people to action. | ||
And so, whenever we look at low-intensity conflict, and that's a term that covers everything from violent social movements to terrorist campaigns. | ||
To armed insurgency, to color or popular revolutions or color revolutions. | ||
So we're talking about conflict beneath the threshold of conventional war. | ||
So we're not talking about tanks and bombers. | ||
But it is well above routine peaceful competition, which is the norm throughout American history. | ||
That's just political warfare. | ||
We're talking about more than political warfare. | ||
That's low-intensity conflict as opposed to high-intensity conflict like World War II or Russia-Ukraine. | ||
So low-intensity conflict. | ||
There has to be a leader. | ||
There has to be a driving force. | ||
And so I think they're trying to build that right now. | ||
Typically, we look at popular revolutions or color revolutions. | ||
They tend to occur around elections. | ||
That's why I'm hesitant to say... | ||
I think it's just too early to say that we are going to see that this year. | ||
And then just briefly, whenever we look at low-intensity conflict, we're really looking at three factors. | ||
We're looking at fault lines, accelerators, and triggers. | ||
And fault lines are... | ||
They were racial in 2020. | ||
They were class-based in 2011 with Occupy Wall Street. | ||
They could be religious, ideological, whatever. | ||
Those are the wedges in society. | ||
And then you have accelerators of conflict. | ||
I think Luigi Mangione was an accelerator of conflict. | ||
It's like you have a pot of water and you put it on the stove and you're heating the water up. | ||
The temperature is not hot enough right now to cause that pot to boil over. | ||
So we're still in the acceleration phase, looking for more accelerants. | ||
And then you get the trigger, which is that pot boiling over. | ||
And that's your George Floyd in late May 2020. | ||
We are not yet at the trigger phase. | ||
We're still in probably the early, you know, second or third inning, if this is a baseball game, second or third inning. | ||
We're still looking for a lot more accelerators of conflict because they have to turn the temperature up. | ||
It's just not hot enough right now. | ||
Yeah. Yeah, but, you know, it does mean we... | ||
Relax, right? | ||
Because I agree with you. | ||
It would make more sense for them to really kick things off right before the midterms to make the most out of the, you know, political atmosphere. | ||
And, you know, Trump would be even more concerned about, like, I better not invoke the Insurrection Act because that could destroy our chances politically. | ||
So we'll let them cause chaos and try to make the most out of that and get votes out of it. | ||
So it enters into a whole new calculus once the midterms are looming in 2026 and 2025. | ||
I agree with you. | ||
We're going to continue to see the attempted creation of this low-intensity conflict, but it's not going to really kick off this year, maybe. | ||
But that means that we have time not to rest and sit back on our laurels, but to prepare for what we know will eventually come, which is why I love things like you do the area studies or you teach people to do area studies, which... | ||
As you've explained on this show many times, it just means being aware of your surroundings, knowing where there's water, how you get out of your neighborhood, where you can get into your neighborhood. | ||
Just taking stock in almost a military level of your surroundings, knowing that if and when things pop off, you might be on your own and have to take care of yourself. | ||
So in the last two minutes here that we have you, what do people need to know about... | ||
You know, doing their own area study or what they can do to be prepared on the personal level for the radical left to when they really get going. | ||
What do people need to know? | ||
Yeah, well, I would just start with natural disasters. | ||
You have to leave your neighborhood due to a wildfire or a hurricane or some other flooding natural disaster. | ||
Whenever we're talking about responding to natural disasters, we're talking about operations. | ||
And intelligence drives operations. | ||
So an area study. | ||
Is a tactical-level intelligence document. | ||
And we look for significant features that are going to affect our operations, whether they're going to help us or harm us. | ||
And so we have to identify those things. | ||
We have to understand what we're getting ourselves into before we get there. | ||
And the same would be true for a civil conflict or low-intensity conflict, even just violent social movements. | ||
But, of course, that can... | ||
Go all the way up to insurgency or popular revolution. | ||
Same thing. | ||
Know who your political actors are and the agitators. | ||
And if you do have these far-left groups in your area, situational awareness is the first step. | ||
And so I would encourage everyone to look in your backyard. | ||
If you have Democratic Socialists of America, you have the Party for Socialism and Liberation, you've got Indivisible Groups, you have... | ||
I mean, there's just all sorts of groups that... | ||
We should be identifying because they're going to be the cause of disruption. | ||
And so, you know, we do an area study for two reasons. | ||
Number one, we have to know what we're up against. | ||
So whether those are threats or hazards. | ||
And then the second reason is we have to know what we're working with. | ||
And those are the assets and resources, the people that we need. | ||
To marshal people, we need to come together and organize to respond. | ||
So really, we have to counter-organize, and that's why you do an area study. | ||
Exactly. They are organizing. | ||
The left is organizing. | ||
The left is selecting targets and training. | ||
You need to be doing it as well. | ||
Don't wait until the conflict starts to be prepared beforehand. | ||

The final segment of the American Journal for this Tuesday broadcast. | |
Welcome back. | ||
I'm Harrison Smith. | ||
Brought to you, of course, by TheAlexJonesStore.com. | ||
Do we even still have these frog plushies? | ||
I can't imagine that they'll be not sold out for much longer because they're so popular. | ||
But you can get fantastic products like this that are fun and show your patriotism and are fundraisers for our... | ||
Continuing operation. | ||
They are still available at thealexjonesstore.com. | ||
Great gift for kids. | ||
Literally, it's become my daughter's favorite toy. | ||
I constantly find it. | ||
Tucked into or being pushed around in a stroller. | ||
It really is a fun toy, but it's a collector's item, and it is a limited edition collectible fundraiser plush, and you can get it for a discount if you are a VIP member. | ||
But regardless, it will become a beloved member of your family if you go to thealexjonesstore.com. | ||
The belt buckle that we come out with is amazing. | ||
I'm wearing it right now. | ||
I'm not going to stand up to show you. | ||
That'd be a little bit too much. | ||
But I do wear it every day now. | ||
There are just so many things at thealexjonesstore.com. | ||
There's so many reasons to go there. | ||
The supplements, of course, would be at the top of that list. | ||
But even if you aren't in supplements or have your own, whatever, I get that. | ||

The products are the best. | ||
I was reading a story, somebody was posting on X yesterday about wearing a Gulf of America t-shirt around a bunch of liberals, feeling like she was behind enemy lines. | ||
But it's very fun to wear patriotic gear out there. | ||
You either terrify or annoy the liberals, but you... | ||
are much more likely to make friends with your fellow patriots. | ||
So wear it loud and proud and let people know. | ||
Let the liberals know they aren't as numerous as they may think, and we are everywhere. | ||
Go to thealexjonesstore.com slash Harrison to let them know who sent you. | ||
We've got a lot more stories to go to, and I think we'll start off this next story as an intro to a video I want to play by going back in time just a little bit. | ||
A lot, actually. | ||
All the way back to the summer of 1683. | ||
1683. For nearly two long months, from July 14th to early September 1683, Vienna endured the siege of a vast Turkish army. | ||
The Turkish Seresker, Supreme Commander, Grand Vizier, Kara Black Mustafa, demanded surrender. | ||
But Counts Ernst Rüdiger von Stomberg. | ||
Commander of Vienna's garrison spat back. | ||
Let him come. | ||
I'll fight him to the last drop of blood. | ||
The last drop of blood had almost been reached. | ||
Turkish mines and bombardments had opened huge gaps in the city walls. | ||
Sewage, rubble, and corpses littered the streets, and disease ran rampant. | ||
After fending off 18 major Turkish assaults, only a third of the original 11,500-strong garrison remained fit for combat, and their ammunitions were nearly exhausted. | ||
Star Star Hamburg Star Hamburg Star Hamburg knew that Vienna's defenses were at their end. | ||
The city's only hope was the timely arrival of anxiously awaited Christian relief army. | ||
Without that army, the Turks would pour into the city and wantonly enslave and butcher its inhabitants. | ||
This article goes on to describe the fierce ambitions of Mustafa. | ||
Mustafa had another reason to press on. | ||
He feared the Sultan's punishment in the event of failure. | ||
By laying siege to Vienna, Mustafa disobeyed Sultan Mehmed IV, who intended that Mustafa do little more than capture imperial frontier fortresses, but such modest aims did not satisfy Mustafa. | ||
And then Leo polled the first, the Holy Roman Emperor. | ||
He was a not particularly warlike figure. | ||
He fled his own capital, Vienna, for the safety of Passau. | ||
A bookworm and music composer, the pious Leopold wasn't much of a warrior, but he wasn't going to abandon his capital to the Turks either and feverishly petitioned the German and Polish nobility to come to Vienna's aid. | ||
Leopold's cries for help did not remain unanswered. | ||
By September 7th, a mighty army had gathered in the Thuln Valley, 30 kilometers northwest of Vienna. | ||
There was John III Sobieski, King of Poland and Duke of Lithuania with 18,000 Poles, the Elector Max Emanuel of Bavaria with 11,000 men, and Prince George Friedrich von Weldeck with 8,000 Germans from Franconia and Swabia. | ||
Prince George of Hanover, the future King George I of England, arrived with a bodyguard of 600 cavalry sent by his father, Duke Ernst August of Hanover. | ||
There were 9,000 Saxons led by the Elector of Saxony, John George III von Wetten. | ||
Together with Imperial General Lieutenant Duke Charles of Lorraine's 20,000 Austrians, the Allied number armied over 66,600. | ||
The Duke of Lorraine, though cursed with his pockmarked face and limp leg, had proved... | ||
Combat history against both the Turks and the French. | ||
His personal courage, humility, and charm gained everyone's affection and admiration. | ||
On Lorraine's recommendation, supreme command was given to Sobieski, king of Poland. | ||
Sobieski held the highest rank and had demonstrated his valor and skill by defeating the Turks at Koksum in 1673. | ||
Albeit past his prime and so fat he was unable to mount his horse without assistance, Sobieski nevertheless retained a sharp mind and, decked out in luxurious garb and armor, still looked like a charismatic commander-in-chief. | ||
Lorraine's plan to squeeze the Turks. | ||
Sobieski would leave the Poles while Lorraine commanded the Austro-German forces. | ||
Beyond this, each commander led his own men while adhering to Lorraine's tactical plan. | ||
The idea was to march the army from Toln through the Vienna woods at the heights of the Kallenberg. | ||
From the Kallenberg, a broad sweeping descent would squeeze the Turks against the city, the Danube, and the Vienna River. | ||
The approach denied the Turks the natural defenses of these rivers, and because the Allies would emerge from out of the wilderness, they hoped to catch their enemy unprepared. | ||
Early in the morning on the 11th, Lorraine sent reinforcements. | ||
To Heisler, who led his dragoons, musketeers, and a band of Italian volunteers against the Turkish outpost at the Chapel of St. Leopold in the ruined Kemeldinsian monastery at the top of Kallenberg. | ||
After chasing the Turks from the Christian holy places, Heisler launched signal flares into the night sky. | ||
To the defenders on Vienna's battered walls, Heisler's fires and flares were like a sign from God. | ||
Their prayers had finally been answered. | ||
Early in the morning on the 11th, Lorraine sent reinforcements to Heisler, who led his Dragoons, Musketeers, and a band of... | ||
They published that twice for some reason. | ||
Long story short, how epic is this? | ||
How incredible is this story? | ||
I mean, it's like, is this why you wonder why Hollywood is struggling to come up with good stories? | ||
It's like, just look in the past. | ||
I mean, could you not see a, like, Game of Thrones, Size story here. | ||
All these various electors and princes and Holy Roman Empires gathering together. | ||
Got the Italian volunteers and the Polish hussars and just epic beyond belief and the coming together of Christian forces across the swath of Europe to defend against the Muslim hordes trying again to take Vienna and failing again. | ||
To succeed. | ||
Why do I read this? | ||
Why am I spending five minutes going over an amazing historical event from 1683? | ||
One, because it's awesome and it's worth reminding ourselves of what Europe used to be like. | ||
But also to remind all of us that the conflict currently raging in Europe is nothing new and is in fact just a different form of warfare with the exact same people. | ||
And the exact same goals against the exact same targets. | ||
Now the reason I bring this up is because as of this year, Vienna itself is now largely Muslim. | ||
Islam has devoured Vienna. | ||
Over 45% of primary school students are Muslim. | ||
Two decades ago, the percentage was zero. | ||
We're heading towards catastrophe. | ||
They've got nearly 50% of the youth in Vienna are Muslim. | ||
There was 0% 20 years ago. | ||
Now they're nearly half. | ||
Are you able to project into the future? | ||
Are you able to see where this trend is going if it's not stopped? | ||
What we're dealing with here is not new. | ||
By any stretch of the imagination, it's literally millennia old. | ||
Centuries old at least, when it comes to the Muslims in particular. | ||
And just compare. | ||
The Europe of the past to the Europe of today, right? | ||
How do you go from I will fight to the last drop of blood to defend Vienna to opening the gates of Vienna and allowing Muslim forces to peacefully conquer your entire continent? | ||
And how are we not even symbolically standing up against this invasion? | ||
That our ancestors thought important enough to, you know, cross the entire continent and put their own lives at risk to prevent. | ||
It's just kind of insane to me. | ||
It is insane to me that for the last 500 years at least, there has been a consistent drive from the east of Muslims trying to take over Europe. | ||
And really, throughout European history, there are like multiple instances where... | ||
Almost miraculously, these forces are driven back, usually by the leadership of spectacularly talented people like Charles the Hammer Martel, who stopped the Muslim invasion of France at Tours, | ||
and who went on, his progeny went on to found the Holy Roman Empire and establish Europe as we know it with Charlemagne. | ||
500 years and time and time again they were beaten back even when victory seemed totally assured and permanent like in the case of El Andalus the takeover of Spain by Muslims that existed for like 700 years with the Christians in Spain pushed to this tiny thin strip of land in the north of that country only to then perform the Reconquista. | ||
And drive them all back. | ||
Like this is a clash of civilizations that has simply changed and morphed and transformed and metamorphosized but has always existed since the since Islam broke out of the Middle East basically and saw Europe as the ultimate prize and the ultimate enemy as being a powerful conglomeration of Christian states. | ||
And despite being outnumbered, and despite being disadvantaged in a million different ways, Europeans and Christians always won, always held their own, always achieved victory in the end. | ||
Even when the odds were impossibly stacked against them, even when they were willing to sacrifice everything, they succeeded in keeping Islam out until the 21st century. | ||
Until they decided to fall for Sob stories on TV and sophisticated, deceptive rhetoric from activists. | ||
And apparently that was it. | ||
Apparently all of the hordes and all of the armies and all of the siege engines failed to do what whiny media figures succeeded in. | ||
So this is insane. | ||
Again. Just think about these numbers. | ||
20 years ago, 0% Muslim in Vienna. | ||
Today, 45% of the young people in Vienna are Muslim. | ||
And as you know, with populations like this, populations with extremely high birth rates, this only accelerates, right? | ||
If it took 20 years to get from 0% to 45%, it's only going to take 10 years to get from 45% to 100%. | ||
It accelerates. | ||
It becomes more rapid. | ||
The more Muslims there are, the more they get into positions of power, the more they change the laws to benefit themselves, the more benefits they give to their fellow Muslims, the more rapidly this takeover commences. | ||
Why? Why are we allowing this to happen? | ||
And what is the justification for this? | ||
Again, this is Vienna, Austria, 2025. | ||
Not a single Austrian in sight. | ||
Replacement isn't a theory, it's the reality. | ||
And you can see this video. | ||
This is Austria. | ||
This is Vienna, Austria, 2025, and it is pretty much indistinguishable from, I don't know, Syria? | ||
Any Middle Eastern country you want to look at? | ||
I mean, it's almost bizarre because you've got this, you've got the Middle Eastern people and the Middle Eastern practices and the Middle Eastern characters sort of overlaid on top of, you know, It's very disconcerting to me. | ||
But extremely troubling the way that this civilizational conflict has gone. | ||
I don't know how else to put it. | ||
500 years fighting with every drop of blood in your body to keep out Islam, only to have your ancestors welcome them in because they don't want to seem mean. | ||
They don't want to seem mean. | ||
Now, the mean thing is trying to take your country over. | ||
The nice thing is to stop that. | ||
If you care about your people, your country, your nation, your religion, your way of life, things that your forefathers fought and died for, you wouldn't give all of this up. | ||
But they're giving all of it up. | ||
And I say that as an introduction to a video of one of the supposed frontrunners for Pope. | ||
Yeah, of course, sorry, the conclave either has or will soon begin where the Cardinals, the College of Cardinals, will come together to appoint one of their ranks to the Holy Pontifacts, whatever it is, the Pope. | ||
One of them is going to become the Pope. | ||
Now, the problem is that the previous Pope, God rest his soul, had a lot of influence in picking the electors. | ||
And was one of the driving forces giving legitimacy to the invasion of Europe. | ||
Not to speak ill of the dead, but it'd probably be a lot easier for places like Ireland to resist the invasion that they're currently drowning in if you had a unifying figure like the leader of the Catholic Church. | ||
Helping to make the argument that Catholic homelands should not be swamped by pagan foreigners. | ||
Instead, he did the opposite and has kept a muzzle on Catholics around the world and has stamped down on nationalistic energy from Catholics and in turn has helped to contribute to the total eradication of places that were once Catholic homelands. | ||
So I don't know how likely it is that somebody who thinks differently about these things will be appointed because I think there's 300-something cardinals in the college and like 190 of them were appointed by Pope Francis. | ||
So if they're appointed by Pope Francis, they probably aligned with him. | ||
On ideas like immigration, which means the vast majority of the College of Cardinals is probably going to pick somebody to be Pope who aligns with that idea on immigration. | ||
This may be a fatal mistake for the Catholic Church to make. | ||
I mean, the decision being made right now in the Vatican to who becomes next Pope could very well dictate whether or not there's a Catholic Church 100 years from now. | ||
Because what happens when Italy And Portugal and Spain and Ireland and France and Vienna and Austria and Germany and every other European Catholic homeland is majority Muslim in the next decade. | ||
Do you think they'll be carving out special, you know, privileges for the Catholic Church? | ||
Do you think they'll be even allowing them to practice? | ||
Or do you think it's going to go the way to Saudi Arabia or any other Islamic Nation where Christianity is totally non-existent. | ||
There are no churches in Saudi Arabia, right? | ||
So for, you know, for the fate of the Christian world, this decision is pretty important, and the really best option they could possibly go with is one of the cardinals, there are a few, and they're all very good, who have spoken up against what's been done to Europe. | ||
And really, the best option may be the man I'm about to show you, Cardinal Robert Serra, as not only is he correct on the topic of invasion and immigration, | ||
he also happens to be a black African. | ||
You can't call him racist, and he actually has the ability to speak up in the defense of Europe without the nagging feeling that you're accidentally being a Nazi. | ||
Which again, who knew? | ||
Who knew back in the day how effective psychological operations would be? | ||
I mean, if you really think about how silly the Turks were. | ||
Armies, hundreds of thousands strong. | ||
Janissaries and slave warriors and elephants and siege machines. | ||
You fools! | ||
All you had to do was trick the Europeans into thinking that... | ||
Keeping you out was mean, and then they wouldn't do it because they're just so nice. | ||
It's insane. | ||
Here's one of the supposed frontrunners for position of Pope, Cardinal Robert Serra, being asked about, by the way, not being asked about what he thinks about immigration in Europe, being asked what he thinks the biggest issue in the world today is, his answer, is immigration into Europe. | ||
I will read the subtitles. | ||
Here is Cardinal Robert Serra. | ||
Let's watch. | ||
He says, what do you feel like is the biggest worry in the world to you? | ||
He says, you know, the biggest worry is that Europe doesn't want any more or has lost the sense of its origins. | ||
unidentified
|
It has lost its roots. | |
A tree without roots dies. | ||
And I'm afraid the West is dying. | ||
There are plenty of signs. | ||
You see, plenty of signs. | ||
No more natality. | ||
You are invaded still by other cultures, other peoples, which will progressively dominate you by their numbers and completely change your culture, your convictions, your values. | ||
And then you won't exist anymore. | ||
So it's good to know at least one potential to be the next pope has his head on straight about this topic. | ||
Again, whether that will succeed or not, we don't know. | ||
But it's good to see that at least that is happening. | ||
And again, literally for the sake of Christianity continuing, we cannot have another liberal pope. | ||
It'd be the end of Catholicism as we know it. | ||
So, Godspeed to the Cardinals and hope they have the discernment they should have for the position that they're in. | ||
Let's quickly go to clip number eight here, because this is a major story. | ||
You'll find it at Infowars.com. | ||
An Italian pathologist has found out what may be behind the change of attitude or character that you have noticed in your vaccinated friends. | ||
Let's watch. | ||
unidentified
|
I want to add also a comment to what Tina said about the change in personality, depression and all these things. | |
This is very real and we have identified the reasons from the theory and some doctors in Italy have, some pathologists have confirmed that. | ||
The spike protein unfortunately attacks and destroys also the endocrine system. | ||
So the Glands producing hormones and hormones are what make our emotions and feelings and all those things. | ||
And so an Italian pathologist near Venice, he went on a newspaper telling that all the brains he had investigated, he found the pineal gland completely destroyed. | ||
On all the people who were vaccinated. | ||
So the spike protein is also very dangerous for the endocrine system. | ||
That's why people have these changes in personality. | ||
And so you have, of course, everybody knows the phrase endocrine disruptors. | ||
You should at this point know the purpose of your pineal gland. | ||
I mean, it controls your hormone production, which means it is the filter through which you see the world. | ||
And determines... | ||
You know, what chemicals fire at what point, determining whether something makes you happy or sad. | ||
I mean, it is the seat of consciousness, the pineal gland. | ||
And the stories at Infowars, the headline, The Pineal Gland Completely Destroyed. | ||
Researcher explains why mRNA-vaccinated experience personality changes. | ||
Italian pathologist discovers spike proteins damaging pineal gland responsible for regulating sleep, mood, and hormones. | ||
Fabio Zofi, the founder of Zero Spike, an organization researching spike protein toxicity and detoxification, described an Italian pathologist discovery showing spike proteins damage the pineal gland, a pea-sized organ inside the brain that regulates sleep, mood, and hormones, causing erratic personality changes in vaccinated people. | ||
And it seems like all of our most vulnerable and, like, precious bodily functions were zeroed in and attacked by these spike proteins, whether that's reproduction, pineal gland, your brain, mass global poisoning of your very mind. | ||
When are the arrests going to happen? | ||

|
While other networks lie to you about what's happening now, Infowars tells you the truth about what's happening next. | |
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. | ||
I've seen Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 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. |
