Investigated 764 last year is when we met Ali Broadway, a young victim in Virginia. | |
| I was scared to death. | ||

|
He would say, if you don't do this, then you don't love me. | |
| The FBI had just issued a public advisory about the danger of 764 and similar groups like CVLT or CULT and Harm Nation. | ||
| It was accompanied by a series of arrests in the United States and Europe. | ||
| Including Bradley Cadenhead, who was only 15 years old when he created 764 in 2020 and named it after his zip code in Texas. | ||
| He was sentenced to 80 years in prison for possessing child pornography. | ||
| Given its global reach, we tried to interview the RCMP for our original story, but it only responded with an email saying it is aware of the danger of the online group 764 and that it remains vigilant for potential threats since then. | ||
| We've discovered the threat is only rising. | ||
| I just want to figure out what's going on. | ||
| I want to try to get as many of these people behind bars as possible. | ||

This is Beckham. | |
| She's a private investigator who hunts online predators. | ||
| Offline, she also trains as a competitive shooter. | ||
| She's made 764 her biggest target. | ||
| For her safety, we're not disclosing where she lives or her last name. | ||
| I felt an obligation to do what I could to help the kids, the victims, and to stop these people from doing this to more kids. | ||
| I saw the video, Kyle Spitz's mom, and that kind of threw me into this world of 764. | ||
|
unidentified
|
At first, there was no connection between 764 and this chaotic video posted last year by a Tennessee man named Kyle Spitz. | |
| Point that gun at me again. | ||
| The shooter was his mother's boyfriend, and as the video went viral, Spitz was initially hailed as a victim. | ||
| It wasn't until I started to see victims in the comments section saying, this guy's a member of a satanic occult. | ||
| He had a 12-year-old victim. | ||
| That girl had come to me for help. | ||
| She was very afraid, but she did ultimately decide to go to the police after I talked to her for a while. | ||
|

|
Becca posted what she had learned about Spitz, who went by criminal in 764. | |
| And it went, like, what you would call viral. | ||
| And it was only a few weeks later that they arrested him. | ||
| Acid was a friend of Kyle Spitz. | ||
| He would tell me to quit my reporting, or they were going to fine me and, you know, rape and murder me. | ||
| I remember this one time that my daughter was in the bed sleeping next to me, and I got this message that said, in 30 minutes, if you don't delete everything about me, I'm going to have your house shut up. | ||
| And I remember just having this, like... | ||
| This surreal moment of, like, I'm living this normal life here with my kid, and then at the same time I'm being threatened by satanic terrorists. | ||
| And so I called and made a police report about it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Police in the UK arrested acid, whose real name is Cameron Finnegan, last March. | |
| The 19-year-old was sentenced to nine years in prison for encouraging a victim to livestream her own suicide. | ||
| I don't think about stuff in that moment. | ||
| It was just stupid. | ||
| I say without. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| That lack of empathy is a chilling hallmark of 764. | ||
| 21-year-old Caleb Merritt has abducted 12-year-old Ali Broadway. | ||
| We track down the man who raped and abducted her to a Virginia prison where he's serving a 33-year sentence. | ||
| He was a founding member of CVLT, one of the original groups in the 764 network. | ||
| Why did you create this group? | ||
| Did you share those images with other people and did that play into the notoriety that you were looking for? | ||
| Did you think about the impact it would have on these young people? | ||
| There has been a mass shooting in Buffalo, New York. | ||
| He told me about the group's fascination with mass shooters, especially those motivated by racism. | ||
| Eleven of those 13 shot were black. | ||
| Why was that appealing? | ||
| Hateful thoughts? | ||
| Towards whom? | ||
| And what would that be? | ||
| I just refuse to let these guys scare me. | ||
| Becca says she has reported several 764 members to police. | ||
| I think that this is the greatest terror attack facing Western society. | ||
| And I think it's only a matter of time before one of these kids succeeds in building a bomb or something even more devastating. | ||

It's Friday, May 9th 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 scene. | ||
| Get everybody in the stuff together. | ||
| Okay, three, two, one, let's jam. | ||
| Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Welcome to the American Journal. | ||
| I'm your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
| Coming to you live this Friday morning. | ||

|
From the Emperor's headquarters here in Austin, Texas. | |
| We've got a lot to talk about today. | ||
| Some major strangeness going on between Trump and Israel today. | ||
| Well, yesterday, but we'll cover it today. | ||
| Of course, right after this show dropped, because apparently there is an agreement in place with the leaders of the world to withhold all breaking news until as soon as my show's over. | ||
| And that's when it hits. | ||
| Don't know what it is. | ||
| 11 a.m. Central Time. | ||
| That is the time to be watching the news. | ||
| The Pope was chosen. | ||
| The Pope was chosen yesterday. | ||
| The smoke was white. | ||
| The Pope is white. | ||
| He's an American. | ||
| He's the first American pontiff. | ||
| And we're going to be delving into some popery. | ||
| We're going to be delving into some popish topics. | ||
| I looked up all the forms of the word Pope yesterday so I could deploy them today. | ||
| So we'll talk about that. | ||
| We'll give you a rundown as to who that is. | ||
| And just a lot of news and a lot of videos to get to. | ||
| In fact, I need to drop those in. | ||
| But I gotta start off today with a little bit of a story. | ||
| A little bit of a tale for you folks. | ||
| I went to a commencement yesterday. | ||
| A graduation for the UT Medical School. | ||
| And it was a little bit shocking. | ||
| I was a little bit shocked. | ||
| And I've just been trying to figure this out ever since. | ||
| Because it's like there's different layers. | ||
| Of awakening, I guess, or like of... | ||
| I don't even know how to put it. | ||
| Like, there's our circle, right? | ||
| Which is like the InfoWars right-wing Twitter that just knows everything. | ||
| Knows everything going on. | ||
| Constantly digging into every little thing that's happening. | ||
| Finding all the angles. | ||
| Asking all the questions. | ||
| Being skeptical of every motivation. | ||
| Getting to the bottom of the forces behind whatever's happening. | ||
| Then there's like the normie world. | ||
| So like I come here and I'm in the quagmire. | ||
| I'm in the deepest reaches of the rabbit hole. | ||
| Then like I hang out with my normie friends and I get an idea of like what's percolated up. | ||
| What from our morass has found its way, creeped and crawled its way up to the sunlit world? | ||
| And so you get kind of an idea. | ||
| And my impression overall is that normies on the whole are like way more awake than you expect. | ||
| And it's increasing and it's accelerating. | ||
| And even just... | ||
| You know, watching, as we always point out, Bill Maher, like all these, you know, sort of normie programs are all kind of waking up to the reality of just how insane they became over the last couple years. | ||
| And so it was shocking then going to an academic setting and finding that it's not that they are still stuck or still expressing the progressive Madness that has defined the Democrats for the last decade. | ||
| It's that it's been so inculcated, so saturated in that mindset. | ||
| I felt like I was at a revival meeting for people that don't realize they're in a religion. | ||
| They don't realize they're in a church. | ||
| Because the spirit is pervasive. | ||
| Whatever this spirit is, this sort of meaningless religion of equality that inspires people with this religious fervor, but they don't see it as anything other than just normal, just your everyday type of talking points. | ||
| And it's like... | ||
| So there's the student speaker. | ||
| There's like the valedictorian guy. | ||
| He goes up to give a speech. | ||
| He's a white guy, sort of preppy-looking white. | ||
| One of four white guys out of the whole class, right? | ||
| About six white people in the whole 50-person graduating class. | ||
| That's okay. | ||
| We love it. | ||
| And he gets up and he starts off totally typical, totally normal, valedictorian kind of style speech. | ||
| Wow, guys. | ||
| Four years ago, we walked through those doors. | ||
| Young, bright-eyed students, we had no idea what we were in for. | ||
| Can you believe it's been so long? | ||
| Can you believe everything we've accomplished? | ||
| Very normal, you know, good stuff. | ||
| And the speech was never not good. | ||
| In fact, I should tell you this guy's name, because I have an idea he's going to be a politician. | ||
| Because by the end of the speech, it was a full-on slam poetry recital. | ||
| It was weird. | ||
| It was weird. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He kept saying society. | |
| You know, when black civil rights activists from the 60s would always say it that way? | ||
| It was slow, but over the course of this speech, it went from this just like, well, we're going out in the world, and who knows what great things we're going to do, to like, when society is keeping people down, and we have to bring them up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And it was just like, what? | |
| What is this exactly? | ||
| What am I watching here? | ||
| At a premier medical school, graduating the newest crop of doctors. | ||
| So it was like, it was, and I was just looking around going, does anybody, does anybody else feel a little bit weird about this? | ||
| And again, it's hard to even express because it's so normalized in that culture. | ||
| Like people don't realize that what they're saying is ideological. | ||
| They really don't. | ||
| And I'm sure if you go to Brigham Young University or some Catholic Christian university, I'm sure they give speeches that are saturated with Christian ideology. | ||
| And it would be weird if they didn't realize that. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| It would be weird if, like, Like, if you're an atheist at a graduation ceremony in Brigham Young, anybody else is sitting there and it's totally normal where they're just like, you know, we're saving lives. | ||
| We're also saving souls out there. | ||
| And the good work we do in the hospital room, you know, is really magnified by the good work we do in our daily life. | ||
| You know, it's just saturated with whatever the Mormon theology is. | ||
| And an atheist sitting there and they're just like, oh my god, this is like a little heavy-handed with all the religious stuff. | ||
| Because, right, it's not there. | ||
| It's not their ideology, so it stands out to them. | ||
| And I'm sure if you ask somebody there, like, this is pretty heavy-handed with the Christian stuff, they'd be like, well, this is just how we sort of do it. | ||
| Kind of normal. | ||
| But it would be weird for them to be like, Christian stuff? | ||
| What? | ||
| What do you mean I'm aware this is a Christian university? | ||
| We're normal. | ||
| This is just normal, everyday, average stuff. | ||
| Nothing Christian about it. | ||
| Like, well, you keep invoking Jesus and talking about saving souls. | ||
| You don't think that's a little bit... | ||
| You know, ideological. | ||
| We're just like, no, that's just, everybody thinks that. | ||
| It's like, no, not actually. | ||
| Some people aren't Christian. | ||
| They don't actually believe what you believe. | ||
| So, again, I don't even know if I can express. | ||
| It was just like something you had to feel. | ||
| You had to be there. | ||
| I guess. | ||
| Or I'm sure people listening to this understand this. | ||
| I'm sure it's the same in the corporate world. | ||
| But academia, I imagine, is a little bit more, even more so. | ||
| That's like, okay, this is like saturated in this ideological bent. | ||
| There's this distinct ideological bent, but they don't realize it. | ||
| They also don't know what they're talking about. | ||
| The religion itself is just entirely a scam, just a gigantic scam that means nothing and is just like barely cloaked socialism. | ||
| But whatever, that dude gets finished. | ||
| He goes and sits down. | ||
| I guarantee you he's going to be running for office in about five years. | ||
| But it's also like, he's describing, he sort of went through everything that their day, he's like, we're spending 10 to 12 hours doing rounds, but it's not over then, then we've got to do the questions, but we have to study for the test too. | ||
| And it's like, alright, so you're spending 16 hours a day doing medical stuff? | ||
| But also, you're an authority on geopolitical, geosocial conditions? | ||
| Yeah, I don't think so. | ||
| I think you need to stay in your lane. | ||
| But there's something about, I guess, the political realm where it's like, I don't know, people think they're experts and they have no idea what the hell they're talking about. | ||
| And again, it's like, okay, it's fine to just be like, we're in favor of equity. | ||
| It's like, okay, but what does that mean? | ||
| And who is providing the equity? | ||
| Who are you tearing down? | ||
| Who are you building? | ||
| Are you trying to build people up? | ||
| So they just have these phrases, these just meaningless, vapid phrases that they deploy as if they are saying a prayer, saying the Lord's Prayer in church, only they don't know that they're praying. | ||
| They don't understand that what they're doing is reciting. | ||
| The liturgy of a religion. | ||
| They don't understand that, which is just weird, which is just strange and was overwhelming. | ||
| And then the next speaker gives up, right? | ||
| There are two speakers. | ||
| The second one is this established, respected, he's the commencement address speaker. | ||
| And they were good. | ||
| I'm not even, like, making fun of these guys, but the spirit was so overwhelming because this guy, again, same thing, starting to give his speech. | ||
| It's fine. | ||
| It's good. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| And then like you start to get an idea that it's going political. | ||
| He starts going, you know, I had this great, you know, my mentor was this guy and blah, blah, blah. | ||
| We had a lot of great work in research and these days that's changing a little bit. | ||
| And you're like, okay, here it comes. | ||
| Here it comes. | ||
| Here comes the politicization. | ||
| My dad and I are like looking at each other like, mm-hmm. | ||
| And he does. | ||
| It literally becomes a defense of the NIH, this commencement speech. | ||
| The NIH is under attack right now, and I guarantee you everyone in this room has been helped and may have had their lives saved by advancements out of the NIH. | ||
| And it's like, did you care about the NIH before? | ||
| Trump started to look at it. | ||
| Were you involved in the NIH before? | ||
| Did you have anything to say? | ||
| Because he's literally going, now is the time to get involved and to save the NIH and these important institutions. | ||
| And there's just something about the institution worship on the left. | ||
| Like we were showing the video yesterday of the woman. | ||
| Claiming FEMA is just amazing. | ||
| What evidence do you have that FEMA has ever done anything wrong? | ||
| And the woman's like, there are outstanding balances from 15 years ago still on the books. | ||
| They can't pay that? | ||
| They can't get that under control? | ||
| They explicitly told their people don't help Trump supporters in the flooded areas. | ||
| You don't think that's an issue? | ||
| But it's like, that's all white noise to them. | ||
| They don't even hear it. | ||
| They can't even comprehend it. | ||
| To them, FEMA good. | ||
| FEMA good, you're saying FEMA bad, and that's wrong. | ||
| FEMA good. | ||
| FEMA institution good, okay? | ||
| That's as far as it goes for them. | ||
| And it's the same thing with this, you know, incredibly celebrated authority in the medical industry. | ||
| He's just like, NIH good. | ||
| NIH good. | ||
| And it's just like, that's as far as the interpretation goes. | ||
| Because there's nothing that says, like, sure, I grant it. | ||
| I say it all the time. | ||
| Medical technology is amazing. | ||
| Modern scientific advancements in keeping people alive, fighting diseases, curing things. | ||
| It's incredible. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| I love to see it. | ||
| Some of that stuff came out of the NIH probably more than 30 years ago. | ||
| Some of it certainly came out of the NIH. | ||
| Is that the only way it could have come about? | ||
| No. | ||
| Is the NIH the only institution, the only structure? | ||
| That it's possible to do scientific research through? | ||
| No, obviously not. | ||
| But it's like there's some sort of deep, deep loyalty to this utterly corrupt institution. | ||
| So he never was getting involved when it was being corrupted. | ||
| He had nothing to say about the NIH when they were partnering with big pharmaceutical companies to completely destroy the underlying health of the entire American populace. | ||
| I mean, he chose, the speaker chose 1984 as a point when, like, the NIH, you know, really locked down and started doing stuff. | ||
| And it's like, you can look at every single, except for maybe life expectancy, but I think even that is down. | ||
| Every metric across the board is significantly worse now than it was in 1984. | ||
| And here you are celebrating the supremacy of the NIH throughout that entire time period. | ||
| What are you even celebrating? | ||
| What are you even defending? | ||
| You're defending certain medical advancements that came out of the NIH as if that was the only way that those medical innovations came about. | ||
| As if, if not for the NIH, we'd all be taking castor oil and praying when we get sick. | ||
| I mean, there's nothing special. | ||
| There's nothing sacred. | ||
| There's nothing immutable and permanent about these institutions. | ||
| They're just institutions. | ||
| They can come, they can go. | ||
| New ones can come up that are even better. | ||
| And that's the thing I really don't understand. | ||
| And again, it's this pervasive, almost religious institution style where it's like, it's not even a question of like, is this the most efficient way to do it? | ||
| Is it fit for function, right? | ||
| Is it achieving the goals that it's setting? | ||
| And if not, how else can we spend money? | ||
| Where are its priorities? | ||
| You know, has it been infiltrated by corporations that are using this important institution for their own ends to make money, not prioritizing? | ||
| The healthcare of Americans overall. | ||
| They don't ask any of those questions. | ||
| It's like the Catholics don't ask questions about the Vatican, right? | ||
| It's an institution that you defend regardless, right? | ||
| So there's this religious attitude almost pervasive throughout it. | ||
| Again, they had nothing to say when it was being sold out to big pharmaceuticals. | ||
| They had nothing to say when they started weaponizing the vaccine list in order to It's like you already | ||
| let the institution be destroyed. | ||
| The reason... | ||
| The institution is being dismantled now is because you people aren't sincere in what you're expressing right now. | ||
| This, you know, very intense respect for this institution. | ||
| It's like, then why did you let it be destroyed? | ||
| Then why did you let them release COVID-19? | ||
| Do you want to mention that too? | ||
| Yeah, you can mention whatever artificial heart valve they came out with that's saved a thousand people. | ||
| They also came out with COVID, though, so anything to say about that? | ||
| Anything want to get through your institutional filter to express some sort of legitimate concern about the actions we know they've been involved in that have harmed millions and millions of people? | ||
| Anything you want to mention there? | ||
| No, of course not. | ||
| Of course not. | ||
| And the other thing is, like, I don't even understand why you wouldn't be excited in the first place. | ||
| How often do you get to hit the reset button on a decades-old institution? | ||
| How often, something like the NIH, this encumbered and burdensome and slow-running organization, here comes Trump going, hey, we're going to wipe this out and build something new. | ||
| Who wouldn't be excited for that? | ||
| Who wouldn't go, hey, I love the NIH? | ||
| So, but there's problems. | ||
| Let's fix those problems. | ||
| We can have the NIH plus. | ||
| We can have the NIH and even better because now we can solve all the problems that come with this legacy system with the NIH. | ||
| They're not excited about that. | ||
| They're not excited. | ||
| They're dedicated to preserving this institution that is not fit for purpose, that doesn't achieve its goals, that's taken over by corporations. | ||
| That released COVID-19, that lied about it and covered it up, that totally violated all of the trust that was ever put in it. | ||
| But there's something just religious about the dedication to these things. | ||
| So again, it's just, you go out, you leave this little bubble we've curated for ourselves, and it's like horrifying. | ||
| It's like horrifying. | ||
| There's all of these cult members who don't even realize they're in a cult. | ||
| Who are, you know, which again, you know, it's completely in line with everything we say. | ||
| Even in just this little microcosm of the graduation. | ||
| Like, here you are, asked to give a speech in one of the most important days of these kids' lives. | ||
| You're supposed to be giving them inspiration. | ||
| You're supposed to be helping to sum up the four years of the... | ||
| Hardest work anybody's ever done. | ||
| You can't be trusted with that responsibility. | ||
| You can't be trusted to fulfill that obligation. | ||
| You have to hijack it, and you have to turn it into some activist bullcrap. | ||
| You have to make at least one or two people in that auditorium fidget and get pissed off because what you're saying is annoying hogwash that is politically motivated and saturated in this religion of the state. | ||
| And so in that way, it's a microcut. | ||
| You can't put these people as judges. | ||
| You can't let these people be doctors. | ||
| But they're all this way. | ||
| It's just crazy. | ||
| And it's just like, yeah, if you give them a little bit of authority, it's not how do I write a speech to best prepare these new doctors for their life of medical work. | ||
| It's, hey, ooh, you're going to put me in front of a bunch of people I know. | ||
| I know what I'll do. | ||
| I'll hijack it for my own political ends. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Very respectful. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| So it kind of sucked. | ||
| It kind of sucked. | ||
| And the worst part of it, and the most emblematic part of it, is of course, and you know I'm going to mention this, the Hippocratic Oath. | ||
| What they've done to my beloved Hippocratic Oath is such a crime. | ||
| It's such an insane nonsense jumble of bullcrap now. | ||
| It's wild. | ||
| It's wild. | ||
| I'll get into it on the other side. | ||
| Because we'll do a little compare and contrast. | ||
| There's three Hippocratic Oaths. | ||
| There's the ancient Hippocratic Oath, which had like, you know, pledging allegiance to Apollo and stuff like that. | ||
| But it still had do no harm. | ||
| I mean, all the basics were there. | ||
| All the basis of the Hippocratic Oath were there. | ||
| Then you have the 1960s version, which is the good version, which is the version that people said for a long time and had all the great things that I talk about all the time. | ||
| Avoiding the twin traps of overtreatment and nihilism, all this sort of stuff. | ||
| But now there's the modern Hippocratic Oath, which is an oath to social justice, which is an oath to not curing disease and providing comfort to the ill. | ||
| It's about progressing equity and equality and swearing upon your oath to identify your own biases and work to correct those. | ||
| And I just got the sense of just like, we, this whole country has been taken over by this cult that twists everything to its own ends and would vehemently deny that they're anything like a cult. | ||
| They have no idea they're in a cult. | ||
| It's all just totally normal. | ||
| Crazy. | ||

|
You're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | |
| All right, welcome back, folks. | ||
| We're ready to get into the news of the day. | ||
| We've got a lot to talk about and break down some big developments across the board. | ||
| We're just taking a moment on this Friday morning, take a bird's eye view of the trajectory that our society is on. | ||
| And it's almost like you can imagine the target where we're headed, the ultimate outcome of whatever this crazy trip we're on. | ||
| It's going to be like idiocracy where eventually the Hippocratic Oath will just be like, I swear to be a good doctor. | ||
| Amen. | ||
| Right? | ||
| I swear to kick disease's butts on God. | ||
| For real, for real. | ||
| So we're not quite there yet, but we're in the transition zone. | ||
| We're in the transition period from like really solid, good, Foundational, meaningful, important, deep, humanitarian positivity in like the 60s. | ||
| We're degrading. | ||
| We're sort of forgetting the purpose behind what we're saying. | ||
| We're kind of removing things that seem extemporaneous without understanding their import. | ||
| Eventually we're here with this Hippocratic Oath that I'll... | ||
| Read to you in just a second. | ||
| And this will get pared down further. | ||
| This will get further perverted and manipulated. | ||
| And eventually we'll get to, you know, the ebonic Hippocratic Oath or whatever. | ||
| The AAV Hippocratic Oath to ensure inclusiveness because correct grammar is oppressive. | ||
| Or, you know, something like that. | ||
| So we're in this transition period and it's worth sort of visiting. | ||
| And looking at the underlying philosophical disturbances that we're seeing. | ||
| That's how I feel. | ||
| I feel like I'm sure there are academic terms to describe the phenomenon that we're seeing here. | ||
| But I'm just like the amateur stargazer. | ||
| That's just like, there's a big red splotch in the sky. | ||
| I'm sure an astrophysicist could come along and tell me all about nebulas and how they're forming and what exactly is going on. | ||
| I'm just the, you know, I'm me with my car going, it's making a noise. | ||
| That's all I got for you. | ||
| I know it's not right. | ||
| I can't tell you exactly what's wrong with it. | ||
| It's just, it's not supposed to make that noise, but it's making the noise. | ||
| And that's as far as my understanding. | ||
| But I have enough understanding to know that the noise is bad and that it's wrong. | ||
| A mechanic could come along and go, oh, well, you see, this is the belt. | ||
| So, like, what I'm witnessing here, I can't exactly describe it. | ||
| I don't exactly have the vocabulary to identify what this phenomenon is, what's going wrong with the engine of our country. | ||
| I can just hear that it's about to explode. | ||
| So, the first Hippocratic Oath, the original Hippocratic Oath, all the way back in the good old days, 5th and 3rd century BCE, originally attributed to the... | ||
| Dr. Hippocrates. | ||
| And it's an oath before gods like Apollo and others, Panacea. | ||
| Now that was reformatted and secularized in the 1960s by a man named Lasagna, which I love. | ||
| Louis Lasagna. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| In 1964... | ||
| Louis Lasagna, academic dean at the School of Medicine at Tufts University, wrote a modern version of the Hippocratic Oath in which the prayer was admitted. | ||
| It focused on the utmost respect for human life from its beginning and making it a more secular obligation not to be taken in the presence of any gods but only other people. | ||
| This version is still in use by many U.S. medical schools. | ||
| And in fact, if you look at this pamphlet from the commencement yesterday, it says that this is the 1964 Louis Lasagna version. | ||
| It's just been edited by the inaugural class of Dell Medical School. | ||
| But it's not. | ||
| It's a completely different version. | ||
| So that's kind of odd. | ||
| And you'll be able to tell. | ||
| Here's the original version from 1964. | ||
| I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant. | ||
| I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow. | ||
| I will apply for the benefit of the sick all measures that are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism. | ||
| I will remember there is an art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or chemist's drug. | ||
| I will not be ashamed to say I know not, nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient's recovery. | ||
| I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. | ||
| Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. | ||
| If it is given to me to save a life, all thanks. | ||
| But it may also be within my power to take a life. | ||
| This awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own family. | ||
| Above all, I must not play at God. | ||
| Yeah, they removed that part. | ||
| I'll have you know. | ||
| I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. | ||
| My responsibility includes those related problems if I am to care adequately for the sick. | ||
| I will prevent disease whenever I can for prevent... | ||
| It's an important and often unenforced stricture of the earth. | ||
| I will remember that I remain a member of society with special obligations to my fellow human beings, though sound of mind and body as well as the infirm. | ||
| If I do not violate my oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. | ||
| May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling, and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my own. | ||
| So, very... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, like... | |
| I'm focused on best possible outcomes, right? | ||
| Nothing in there is ideological in the slightest. | ||
| I mean, he mentions God once, but saying, I must not play at God. | ||
| In other words, just because I have the ability and this knowledge, I can't use that for evil. | ||
| I'm not supposed to use it. | ||
| I'm just supposed to use it for good. | ||
| And, you know, when they're talking about where it says, you know, I have to take into account A person's family and economic stability. | ||
| My responsibility includes these related problems if I'm to care adequately for the sick. | ||
| It's all about treating the sick. | ||
| It's about stopping the excesses that can crop up in people like doctors. | ||
| Hyper-focused, hyper-specified. | ||
| Obviously, you've got to do something to counteract the narcissism that comes with that. | ||
| You've got to counteract the opportunities for fraud that it... | ||
| Avails you. | ||
| Right? | ||
| You're now a trusted, respected, certified member of this community. | ||
| You can't use that to just benefit yourself and not help anybody. | ||
| You can't, you know, you can't disrespect the things your forefathers went through to provide this foundation for you to now walk on. | ||
| You can't just take that for yourself. | ||
| You didn't earn it. | ||
| You didn't do it yourself. | ||
| You can't take it for yourself. | ||
| But it's all hyper-focused and very tightly organized to be like, this is the best way to get outcomes in healthcare. | ||
| And that's what it's about. | ||
| So yes, you do have to take into account you can't just drive somebody into bankruptcy by trying every single super expensive potential cure, totally ignoring the fact that they can't afford it and you're... | ||
| Ruining their lives in a whole bunch of different ways. | ||
| Now they're stressed out so that they're not even getting healthier because they're having to work more. | ||
| You know, all of that has to go into account to make the person better. | ||
| But that's what it's about, making the person better. | ||
| Now the modern Hippocratic Oath has, and you can see the way it's like, well, we'll just tweak it a little bit. | ||
| It's basically the same thing. | ||
| But by tweaking it just that little bit, you're completely off the mark. | ||
| You're in a completely different ballpark, right? | ||
| And it, again, is kind of like little things, but they're very meaningful and impactful, and it shows how sort of shallow the modern world is compared to just 60 years ago. | ||
| So that was the old one. | ||
| We'll do a little compare and contrast. | ||
| Here's the modern one. | ||
| I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this pledge. | ||
| I will respect the autonomy, dignity, and privacy of my patients. | ||
| Well, that's not bad. | ||
| That's not a bad start. | ||
| It's not a great start necessarily, but it's not bad. | ||
| We ignore the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk. | ||
| I'm talking about gladly sharing such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow because, to be honest with you, a lot of those guys were white. | ||
| So, I mean, we're taking their pictures down in the hallway. | ||
| Do we really need to acknowledge them in our oath? | ||
| It goes on. | ||
| I will practice my profession with conscience and in accordance with best medical practice. | ||
| Do you see what I mean? | ||
| I mean, already, I don't know. | ||
| Am I crazy? | ||
| Am I looking too much into this? | ||
| Like, you read the old one, and it lays it out so sincerely, so thoroughly. | ||
| And then they just compact it into just like, I'll do my best. | ||
| I will practice my profession with conscience, whatever that means, and in accordance with best medical practice. | ||
| Which is like, well, what does that mean? | ||
| Is that insinuating that everything you're going to be doing has already been done before? | ||
| It's already been tried and tested and they know that that's the best medical practice? | ||
| Is this not just like a subtle way of just being like, I'm going to follow the rulebook, okay? | ||
| You're going to swear to do what they say, alright? | ||
| You're going to swear to do the best medical practice, which we will tell you what it is. | ||
| And if you deviate from that, you're violating your oath, okay? | ||
| In accordance with best medical practice. | ||
| Okay, great. | ||
| So, kind of half meaningless, half like not even really what you want to be telling people. | ||
| I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the benefits of surgery and medications. | ||
| That again is not bad, but it is the subtle changes to the modern one. | ||
| I will remember there is an art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the benefits of surgery and medication. | ||
| The old one was, I will remember there is an art to medicine as well as science and that warm sympathy and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug. | ||
| Which again, I think is, I don't know, the way it phrases it a little bit, it's relating your bedside manner, your human emotional connection as another tool, equating it with a surgeon's knife. | ||
| Not the concept surgery. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Again, it's like subtle. | ||
| Okay, maybe I'm making too big of a deal out of this, but why'd they change it? | ||
| But why'd they change it then? | ||
| You know, surgery describes an operation, describes a category of operation. | ||
| Being nice and warm and sympathetic is not a category of operation. | ||
| So anyway, it's just they change it a little bit. | ||
| You do that enough over time, and it's like what once was a good point. | ||
| One of the weapons in your arsenal to fight disease is human connection. | ||
| It is giving hope to people. | ||
| It is giving understanding to people or, you know, not treating people like, as it puts in the original one, you're not treating a fever chart or a cancerous growth. | ||
| You're treating a human being and you have to take a holistic look at what you're doing. | ||
| And one of the tools in that Is your sympathy and understanding, just like the surgeon's knife, just like drugs. | ||
| You can deploy all of these. | ||
| Don't let one tool rust from disuse. | ||
| That's not really what they're saying here. | ||
| And then it goes off the rails. | ||
| I will not permit bias, prejudice, or any other societal constraints to impact my responsibility to my patient, and I will be vigilant in addressing health inequities. | ||
| What the hell does that mean? | ||
| How are you taking a solemn oath to do something that is basically impossible? | ||
| You're going to get rid of all of your biases? | ||
| Do you even want biases to be absent in a doctor? | ||
| They're asking them to take an oath to do something that every single one of them knows they're going to consciously not do. | ||
| Every doctor is biased. | ||
| And they should be. | ||
| And it's good that they are. | ||
| When the tweaked out looking crackhead comes in saying he has back pain and just needs some Oxycontin, you should be biased against him. | ||
| Because he's probably faking it to get drugs. | ||
| Is that a prejudice? | ||
| Yes, it is. | ||
| You don't know that for sure. | ||
| He didn't tell you that. | ||
| But you're going to look at him and you're going to make that assumption. | ||
| And you're probably going to be right. | ||
| And you're going to prevent... | ||
| A crime. | ||
| And they'll tell you to look out for that. | ||
| They train the doctors to have bias in that regard. | ||
| And then they tell them to take an oath to ignore that bias. | ||
| It just doesn't make any sense. | ||
| It's just like vapid. | ||
| It's just meaningless. | ||
| I will not permit bias, prejudice, or any other societal constraints to impact my responsibility to my patient, and I will be vigilant in addressing health inequities. | ||
| What are health inequities? | ||
| What does that mean, exactly? | ||
| Inequity seems to imply a balance of some sort. | ||
| It does not make sense to apply inequity or inequality in the health realm. | ||
| Because you don't want people to be equal. | ||
| You want people to be healthy or as healthy as possible. | ||
| Equality is a balancing. | ||
| So, are you going to counteract inequities by making people sick? | ||
| Are you going to hurt and injure and disadvantage people? | ||
| If your priority is equity and one population is sicker than another, If the goal is equity, making the not-sick population sick actually achieves that goal. | ||
| So that shouldn't be your goal. | ||
| Just like, you know, in a platonic sense and just the actual meaning of these words and what they actually express. | ||
| Since you are taking a solemn oath on it, you might want to really be certain about this stuff. | ||
| It's like a legal document. | ||
| So is inequity the thing you're trying to fight or is disease? | ||
| Is health what you're trying to bring people or is equality what you're trying to bring people? | ||
| Because these are at odds with each other. | ||
| These are not the same thing. | ||
| And it's not doctors' responsibility to stop inequality. | ||
| It's just not. | ||
| A lot of health inequities come about, almost all of them, come about because of behavior, choices people make. | ||
| So if I'm healthy and I eat well and I exercise and I get a good night's sleep and I take my vitamins and somebody else eats nothing but cheese curds all day, never moves a muscle, and is addicted to heroin, pretty unequal, how are you going to solve that equality? | ||
| Are you going to make me unhealthy or are you going to make them healthier? | ||
| Oh, you're just going to make them healthier? | ||
| Then why talk about equality? | ||
| Are you going to prevent them from doing their behavior that they want to do? | ||
| Is it your job as a doctor? | ||
| To dictate to people their everyday behavior because you believe that some things are healthier than others or that some unhealthy things aren't worth it while they do think it's worth it. | ||
| You have no position here. | ||
| You have no right. | ||
| You can give advice, but you have no right. | ||
| So, again, it's like, what does this mean? | ||
| I will be vigilant in addressing health inequities. | ||
| It doesn't mean anything. | ||
| It doesn't mean anything. | ||
| I just want to get that through to everybody. | ||
| This doesn't mean anything. | ||
| So there you go. | ||
| I just want to get that across. | ||
| Addressing health inequities. | ||
| Be vigilant. | ||
| Go ask a doctor. | ||
| Are you being vigilant about health inequities? | ||
| Who knows what they're going to say? | ||
| Who knows what that even means? | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| It means nothing. | ||
| And then this part annoys me because... | ||
| They remove my favorite part of the oath. | ||
| My favorite part of the oath is avoiding the twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism. | ||
| They took out therapeutic nihilism. | ||
| They left in overtreatment. | ||
| I will avoid the traps of overtreatment and advocate for those without access. | ||
| So again, originally, It actually made sense. | ||
| The original oath actually made sense. | ||
| I will avoid the twin traps of overtreatment, just throwing everything, seeing what works, and I always relate this to the political realm, right? | ||
| Overtreatment would be just like, get rid of all your values, get rid of all your principles, and just do what you want for your side to win. | ||
| Just, none of the principles matter. | ||
| Throw those out and do what you have to do. | ||
| Which case, like, why even win? | ||
| Why even win if you're sacrificing your principles to win? | ||
| And then therapeutic nihilism is an important psychological perspective that has to be avoided. | ||
| That it can feel good to give up. | ||
| I have the feeling that the people that rewrote it genuinely didn't understand the term therapeutic nihilism. | ||
| I think they thought, ah, therapeutic nihilism, that's a little bit vague. | ||
| It's like people don't know what that means, so let's clarify it by saying I will advocate for those without access. | ||
| It's like, that's not what that means. | ||
| That's not what that means at all. | ||
| Therapeutic nihilism is, it's in relation to everything else in the oath, right? | ||
| Elsewhere in the oath where they say sympathy and empathy and kindness can do more than the surgeon's knife or the chemist's concoction. | ||
| It's saying there's a spiritual dimension to healthcare, and you have to avoid these spiritual malaise that can affect your physical health. | ||
| To give up, to think it's not worth it, to think it's not possible, to think, why should I even try to get better if it's so damn hard? | ||
| I'd rather just give up. | ||
| What happens, happens. | ||
| I'm just going to be nihilistic about it. | ||
| And you want to avoid that psychological paradigm. | ||
| So they both make the new oath sort of more touchy-feely, You know, faux spiritual character, but then they remove the actual important philosophical psychiatric aspects of it. | ||
| And I will advocate for those without access. | ||
| Again, what does that mean? | ||
| We live in America. | ||
| Everybody has access. | ||
| Everybody has access to everything. | ||
| So what are you talking about? | ||
| There's absolutely nowhere in America that doesn't have a hospital you can walk right into. | ||
| There's nowhere in America that doesn't have a pharmacy stocked to the brim with every possible concoction, every possible chemical creation you can imagine. | ||
| People can't afford it. | ||
| True. | ||
| Is that the doctor's job? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's just... | ||
| This is the oath they're taking. | ||
| This is the oath they're taking. | ||
| Like, it's fine to teach as, you know, just like, here's how you can help people or whatever, but like you're taking an oath to advocate for those without access. | ||
| I will always put patients and their family ahead of personal economic gain. | ||
| Okay, that's good, but also just very whatever, right? | ||
| I will always put patients and their families ahead of personal economic gain. | ||
| Well, great. | ||
| I will prevent disease and promote health. | ||
| I will advance health in my community beyond the walls of the clinic and the hospital. | ||
| Again, just very, like, there's no soul. | ||
| There's no spirit. | ||
| There's no real substance behind it. | ||
| It's just like it was rewritten by AI to just appeal to the lowest common denominator. | ||
| I will advance health in my community beyond the walls of the clinic and hospital. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Again, I just see this as like, these are pledges to do things, and it's like, how do you do that? | ||
| What qualifies as doing that? | ||
| If I just do it once, have I, is that sufficient? | ||
| Have I fulfilled my obligation that I took an oath to? | ||
| Is this something I have to do continuously? | ||
| Is it the thing I have to focus most on? | ||
| Even if it gets in contradiction to the other parts of the oath that I took about treating people, am I, how much should I advocate? | ||
| Like, it just doesn't make any sense. | ||
| Just why change it? | ||
| Why change it? | ||
| The 1964 version was perfect. | ||
| Why did you change it? | ||
| Why is it worse now? | ||
| Why did you put in social justice nonsense into the Hippocratic Oath that makes the whole thing pointless? | ||
| Why do we let them do this? | ||
| And stuff like this. | ||
| I will collaborate with all members of the healthcare team to provide comprehensive care to my patients and community. | ||
| That would sound great on a resume. | ||
| That's what should go on a resume. | ||
| It should say, I collaborate. | ||
| With members of the healthcare team, provide comprehensive care to the patients in the community. | ||
| But it's like, yeah, obviously everybody does that. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| It just means nothing. | ||
| Whereas in the 1964 version, it's like, I will remember that I remain a member of society with special obligations to all of my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body, as well as the infirm. | ||
| There's just something there. | ||
| There's something to sink your teeth into. | ||
| There's something to... | ||
| You actually remind you of the responsibility, the obligation that you have on top of the benefits that you receive or the special position that you hold. | ||
| It comes with obligations that go along with it. | ||
| This is just like, I promise to be a good team player. | ||
| Are we in kindergarten? | ||
| Are we taking the Hippocratic Oath as babies? | ||
| Because saying I'm going to be nice to my friends is not something that needs to be in the oath of a doctor, but fine. | ||
| I will recognize the limits of my knowledge and skill and seek the help of others when needed. | ||
| I will work to improve the quality and safety of the health system through innovation, collaborative leadership, and teamwork. | ||
| I will attend to my own health, well-being, and abilities in order to provide care to the highest standard. | ||
| Very boilerplate, cut and dry, soulless, pointless, meaningless, social justice, nonsense. | ||

*Music* | |
| I'm pretty much done talking about that. | ||
| Talking about the medical industry, although it just so happens that, well, two things. | ||
| One, the reason I even spent the first hour on that is like, I don't know, I bet there's a lot of people in situations like that. | ||
| I mean, basically anybody that's listening to me that's a doctor in a healthcare community. | ||
| We're probably having to listen to that crap every day and are just sitting there going, oh my god, what's happening in my profession? | ||
| So hopefully, hopefully if nothing else, there's just some sort of cathartic satisfaction from knowing that you're not the only one feeling like that. | ||
| But also, you know, again, people, they really, we really are, like our whole society really is in this like bizarre cult. | ||
| And people don't even recognize it. | ||
| They can't even see it. | ||
| They don't even know it's happening. | ||
| They don't know what's going on. | ||
| And again, people just accept things that happen. | ||
| And I admit that I'm, in a way, the crazy one for caring about any of this stuff. | ||
| But the crew can pull up my Twitter. | ||
| I tweeted out a picture last night. | ||
| This is, to me, something that... | ||
| They just put these little signs up, and nobody thinks twice about it. | ||
| It's very weird to me. | ||
| In the bathroom, At the UT Medical School, there's a sign like you would find in a kindergarten. | ||
| Be a germ stopper. | ||
| Keep your hands away from your mouth, eyes, and nose. | ||
| Wash your hands. | ||
| Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze. | ||
| It's like these signs don't belong anywhere that's frequented by adults. | ||
| These signs belong in preschools and kindergartens and nowhere else. | ||
| And there's this weird, like, infantilization. | ||
| It's subtle, but there's something psychological going on here. | ||
| We're a little short on adults around here. | ||
| Yeah, like, do people not know this? | ||
| Do people at the UT Medical School not know how to wash their hands? | ||
| Or that you should cover up your sneezes? | ||
| Why is this here? | ||
| Why are we being treated like babies as adults? | ||
| How many thousands of dollars did they spend to somebody to design this and write this and then go around and put it in every bathroom? | ||
| I'll give you in restaurants employees must wash hands. | ||
| That's a nice reminder of a law. | ||
| That's a nice extra little reminder. | ||
| We know you know how to wash your hands. | ||
| Just make sure. | ||
| Just make sure they'll shut our restaurant down if you don't. | ||
| I get that. | ||
| But this is like educating people to cover their sneezes. | ||
| Do we need that? | ||
| If we don't need it, why is it there? | ||
|

|
Why do we have men's room tampons in city-run buildings? | |
| You're right. | ||
| It's worse than I even was thinking. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Much worse. | |
| It's much, much worse. | ||
| But there's just something, it's like people just like don't even think about it. | ||
| They see these signs and they're just like, like nobody even reads these signs. | ||
| Nobody even acknowledges, like it never enters into the consciousness, just like subconsciously. | ||
| You have all these little reminders. | ||
| You're a baby, aren't you? | ||
| Are you a baby? | ||
| Don't put things in your mouth that you found on the floor. | ||
| Like, yeah, okay, thanks. | ||
| I'm a human. | ||
| You don't need to treat me like this, okay? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't even know what I'm saying here. | ||
| But everybody gets it. | ||
| But everybody gets it. | ||
| And then I pull this up. | ||
| New York needs more hospice care, not death with dignity, physician-assisted suicide. | ||
| If you agree, contact your New York state senator that you are against S-138 medical aid in dying. | ||
| So yeah, this just happened to pop up. | ||
| It's from Christian Fam Doc on X, Kevin Cope, M.D. And this is what I mean. | ||
| It's like, yeah, maybe it's not that crazy that they just, like, changed some words around in the Hippocratic Oath. | ||
| Or maybe that's, like, the precursor signal to the reality that, like, everything is inverted and backwards and doctors are openly advocating for killing their patients now. | ||
| You know, maybe when you make these little incremental changes, eventually you end up somewhere that you don't even recognize. | ||

The record of the hearts and minds of the American people. | |
| It's the American Journal with your host, Arison Smith. | ||
| Music Alright, welcome back to the American Journal. | ||
| I'm your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
| We're going to see you live from Austin, Texas. | ||
| We do have a lot of news that we will get into now. | ||
| We're done with the bird's eye view. | ||
| We're done with the overview. | ||
| We're done with... | ||
| Therapeutic nihilism. | ||
| Should we just go through these headlines? | ||
| I've got a lot of videos to show as well, and I have just put a new one in there also. | ||
| I'm going to have trouble not relating everything back to that. | ||
| The video I just put in is about men competing in women's fencing. | ||
| And how do we not relate this back to just the corruption in the medical industry? | ||
| How is, you know, what I'm describing, and I saw yesterday, just the undermining of the credibility of the medical industry, how is that not really the font of so many issues that we face today? | ||
| Where you get the medical industry to go along with transgender surgeries, even though it is retarded. | ||
| So I want to play that video. | ||
| 200 men competing in women's fencing? | ||
| Maybe we should go to that video. | ||
| Maybe we should go to that video. | ||
| Since I mentioned it, let's go ahead and go to it. | ||
| We won't watch the whole thing. | ||
| It's about five minutes long. | ||
| From Independent Women's Forum, this was testimony before the DOGE committee by a woman named Miss Turner, talking about her experience as a collegiate-level fencing. | ||
| Fencer. | ||
| So let's watch this. | ||
| And this is funny to me anyway. | ||
| I did fencing when I was a kid. | ||
| I was like 12, 13, I did fencing a little bit in high school. | ||
| And then like a couple years ago, my wife got me, you know, just like a fencing class. | ||
| And I'm like, thinking back when I was like 13, I'm like, I'm an amazing fencer. | ||
| Trust me, I still got it. | ||
| I bet I still got it. | ||
| And I just kept getting my butt kicked by this one girl. | ||
| There was this one girl, she had this one move where she would like duck down and go under and she would just jab me in the same spot. | ||
| I had a big bruise. | ||
| She was so good. | ||
| She'd fenced in college. | ||
| She was like a practically Olympic level fencer and she was kicking my butt. | ||
| So, I don't know why I said that and that was embarrassing. | ||
| But that's the truth. | ||
| But that is the truth. | ||
| That's all I promise you is the truth. | ||
| So yeah, it's... | ||
| But, you know, clearly fencing is going to be just like any other sport. | ||
| A massive difference between boys and girls. | ||
| But apparently people are taking advantage of that. | ||
| Let's watch the testimony here. | ||

I started fencing at the University of Maryland College Club team 12 years ago. | |
| And became competitive within the United States Fencing Association a year later. | ||
| What started as a hobby quickly became a deep passion of mine. | ||
| In these past 12 years, I estimate that I have spent over 7,000 hours training and over $100,000 between lessons, club dues, competition fees, equipment, and travel. | ||
| I have dedicated a significant portion of my life to this sport and competition because, like thousands of other women, I love it. | ||
| My favorite part of fencing is the competition. | ||
| The thrill, the fight, the triumph, and even the heartache. | ||
| But lately, fair, female-only competition is harder and harder to come by. | ||
| USA Fencing has over 200 self-declared members who identify as transgender. | ||
| Each time a man competes in the women's category, with USA Fencing's support, it removes fair sport and takes opportunities from women. | ||
| Fencing is a combat sport, a martial art of sorts. | ||
| There are elements of speed, power, reaction time, distance control, footwork, and blade work, all attributes affected by sex development. | ||
| It's not uncommon for a quicker, more athletic opponent to overcome the technique of another fencer. | ||
| Athleticism is powerful in fencing and works in equal parts with strategy and technique. | ||
| It's unbelievably demeaning to female fencers to put down the differences between men and women. | ||
| And any woman's loss to a man as a skill issue. | ||
| Or that a woman simply needs to work harder. | ||
| Within the USA Fencing authoritative body, there is a culture of intimidation towards women which demands that we be silent when men enter our tournaments. | ||
| A culture that includes public humiliation, doxing, social ostracism, dismissal, and even threats. | ||
| I went from avoiding tournaments with known male athletes To reaching out to news outlets to get this story known. | ||
| The USA Fencing, up until my protest, has been unresponsive to women's demands for fair fencing, and instead doubled down on efforts to promote male inclusion in the female category. | ||
| One month ago, I took a knee in protest to a man competing in my category, Division 1A Women's Oil, ironically held at the University of Maryland, where my fencing career began. | ||
| And the video of my protest went viral. | ||
| The story of that knee began three years ago when I contacted icons out of desperation for numerous men taking women's national and world titles. | ||
| Leadership was not only ignoring women, but encouraging and glorifying these men. | ||
| It felt like there was no place for women in USA fencing. | ||
| It took me nearly three years to get up the courage to come out publicly. | ||
| That knee I took in protest was a cry for help. | ||
| The night before the tournament, I saw Redmond Sullivan's name on the registration list. | ||
| I recognized his name from a Redux article as a male fencer within Wagner College's men's team who switched to the women's NCAA team and the women's USA fencing division. | ||
| I cried the whole night and again felt betrayed by USA fencing. | ||
| I had already spent the money on competition fees and new equipment and spent hours training and refurbishing my equipment, and I had traveled down from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to College Park, Maryland the night before in preparation for that tournament. | ||
| I felt trapped. | ||
| I had been defrauded of a women's tournament and sold a lie by USA Fencing. | ||
| This was hardly the first time I faced fencing a man in a women's competition. | ||
| In previous instances, I would wait until the last minute to register for a tournament to see if any known men would register. | ||
| If they did, I would not sign up. | ||
| I missed out on numerous regional and national tournaments. | ||
| I did not want to keep abandoning opportunities to advance my fencing. | ||
| I had felt so isolated and strangled by USA Fencing for disagreeing with its transgender policy that I felt scared to speak openly online. | ||
| Or with friends in the fencing community. | ||
| I reached out to a church friend asking what I should do. | ||
| We prayed together and asked God if it is his will that I protest, that he pair me with Redmond in about that following day. | ||
| The next morning, I found myself on the platform against him and I stood down. | ||
| Speaking out on this issue has made me a target for harassment and violence as well as cost me friends. | ||
| I have decided to step away from the sport I love, at least for now as well, because USA Fencing has fostered an environment where I am unwelcome in my own category. | ||
| It is culturally acceptable to bully and shame women who speak up for other women. | ||
| I should not have had to make this sacrifice. | ||
| Women deserve to be treated fairly in sport. | ||
| We deserve opportunities to train. | ||
| Compete and win in women's category set aside for women. | ||
| We deserve this at the lowest level of sport all the way through elite Olympic competition. | ||
| I hope that by taking a stand and raising awareness of the misogyny in our sport, I can help ensure other women and girls do not have to take such risks to receive the most basic protections in sports. | ||
| We cause betrayal. | ||
| The sports boss sold a lie. | ||
| And again, it is a combat sport. | ||
| Like boxing or anything else, it's not quite as violent, but... | ||
| Again, it's just... | ||
| It's brutal. | ||
| It's brutal to do this to women. | ||
| It's brutal the way they get treated when they speak up. | ||
| I mean, even just over the last weekend, we saw Riley Gaines came to prominence for speaking out against the swimmers, male swimmers in the female categories. | ||
| This was behind the whole Antifa takeover of University of Washington, the videos that we showed, people attacking protesters there. | ||
| We have another video here, I believe it's clip number nine, of another gender dysphoric, gender dysfunctional individual playing softball as a six foot tall male pitcher on a female team. | ||
| I think there might be something Uniquely dangerous about this. | ||
| The underhand pitch, the softball underhand pitch style, if you're really good at it, is like way, way, way faster than overhand pitches. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| You don't know this? | ||
| There's a guy named the king in his court. | ||
| Y 'all look up the king and his court. | ||
| There was a guy who was a softball pitcher, and he had a team that was like the Harlem Globetrotters. | ||
| But you know, the Harlem Globetrotters would always bring along a team to play. | ||
| It was always an exhibition match where the other team was meant to lose. | ||
| This guy had a softball team of four people, and he would beat Major League Baseball teams because he had this pitch that was like 120 miles an hour. | ||
| And he could strike anybody out, and he'd throw it under his legs, and he'd pitch entire games blindfolded and get a hitless game. | ||
| So I think there's something uniquely dangerous, I think. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Was it also because it was in a softball arena? | |
| No, it was in a baseball arena. | ||
| He would pitch from second base sometimes and strike people out. | ||
| He was awesome. | ||
| He is considered the most outstanding athlete ever in terms of how far ahead he was of everybody else in his sport. | ||
| Literally, he would beat major league teams with four players. | ||
| He would have four players on his team. | ||
| Eddie Fainer? | ||
| Eddie the King Fainer. | ||
| Myrie Vernon King. | ||
| He's awesome. | ||
| You should look this guy up. | ||
| Very classic American story, similar to Harlem Globetrotters. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm not sure about the underhand pitches being faster, though. | |
| It is a well-known phenomenon. | ||
| It is a well-known thing where female softball players will strike out male MLB players because the distance for softball, the mound, is shorter. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, that is true. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So the reaction time is much different. | |
| That is true. | ||
| And actually, well, I was watching a documentary about this, and it was saying, like, you know, he pitched at, I think, 112 or 120 miles an hour, but because it was shorter, it was as if he was pitching, like, 150 miles an hour or something. | ||
| So, yeah, it was just impossible to hit. | ||
| So, you know, I don't know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm reading the fastest ever recorded fast-pitch softball pitch was around 77 miles an hour, though. | |
| Not this guy. | ||
| Not this guy. | ||
| No, he definitely pitched over 100 miles an hour. | ||
| It was before radar guns were invented, so they had to use photography to figure out how fast he was pitching. | ||
| Also, I don't know if this was softball, like the big ball. | ||
| I don't know if he was just using baseballs. | ||
| Maybe he could do that faster. | ||
| But regardless, it's like there is a skill gap issue when it comes to... | ||
| Softball pitching. | ||
| So I think there's something sort of uniquely pernicious about this six-foot-tall male softball pitcher striking out women. | ||
| Let's go now to clip number nine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Marissa Rothenberger, a male pitcher, absolutely dominating girls softball in Champlin, Minnesota. | |
| And the pitch. | ||
| Rothenberger back in the fifth, swinging a miss here first. | ||
| 0-2 pitch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Strike! | |
| Rothenberger, at 6 feet tall, appears to tower over his female competition. | ||
| In this game on May 6, 2025, he threw seven strikeouts and shut out the opposing team. | ||
| Apparently, Rothenberger's batting against average is.128, meaning opposing girl players only hit 12% of his pitches, which is considerably better than elite MLB players. | ||
| He recently had an absurd 14 strikeouts in a single game. | ||
| What was really amazing was listening to the dense male announcers as they gush about Rothenberger's wingspan and how hard he throws it. | ||
| See how she whips it? | ||
| The long arms is just such an advantage. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow! | |
| The whip action of that long arm for Rothenberger. | ||
| He's a boy, guys. | ||
| Get it? | ||
| He's male. | ||
| And it's cheating. | ||
| Stop gushing. | ||
| The male coach who coaches Rothenberger was gushing, too. | ||
| Our pitchers do a phenomenal job. | ||
| We have Marissa Rothenberger. | ||
| They keep us in every game. | ||
| What's not to like about having a male ringer on the team? | ||
| Except it's cheating, of course. | ||
| Rothenberger is apparently hoping to get recruited onto a women's softball team in college somewhere, and I found his profile on recruiting sites. | ||
| But hopefully this helps expose the cheater before he can cheat any more girls out of their opportunities, scholarships and victories. | ||
| Please. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Why do we let this happen? | ||
| It's this weird cult we're all part of. | ||
| It's this weird cult that we've all been indoctrinated into without even realizing it. | ||
| It's literally, it's a cult with no members. | ||
| Or is it a cult with everybody being members? | ||
| Basically, if you're aware of the cult, you're not in it. | ||
| That's the situation that we're in. | ||
| If you're aware that there is a cult, you're not a member. | ||
| If you don't know that there is a cult, you're actually a diehard adherent. | ||
| You don't even know it. | ||
| You don't even know it. | ||
| People just think this is normal. | ||
| People just think this is a natural consequence of just acceptance. | ||
| In fact, I need to pull in this other video because it was a woman that was interviewed at... | ||
| We'll just spend this whole segment on the transgender stuff because I actually have a lot of videos that go along with this and it follows this event with Riley Gaines at the University of Washington where Antifa attacked and is shouting people and attacking people and shutting down the school and advocating for Palestine. | ||
| It's all very stupid. | ||
| So I'm going to play a couple more videos actually here. | ||
| This next one will go to a young woman at Tahoe Truckee Unified School District. | ||
| Again, talking about the reality of having to, as a child, as a teenager, undress in front of the opposite sex because of the madness of this cult that we're dealing with. | ||
| If y 'all pulled that in, let's go to the video. | ||
|
unidentified
|
My name is Dani Cornett, and I'm a senior at Truckee High School and a three-sport athlete. | |
| So while this doesn't affect me, I feel too strongly to sit back and watch my teammates lose something that had such a positive impact on me. | ||
| First to get into it, I've experienced firsthand competing against an athlete who was transgender a couple years ago. | ||
| And to put it into simple terms, it wasn't even a competition. | ||
| The athlete beat us out in state multiple times and was faster than our fastest girl. | ||
| It hurts my heart. | ||
| It hurt my heart to watch all my team's hard work go down the drain by the simple biological differences. | ||
| I'll leave that at that and just move into... | ||
| Soccer. | ||
| Soccer-wise, I not only feel that... | ||
| Okay, please state your name, okay? | ||
| I'm Mackenzie Zilsdorf. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| And I am a Truckee high school athlete. | ||
| I compete in soccer, track, and basketball. | ||
| And I think it isn't fair for women to compete with men, or men to compete with women. | ||
| And it's even more bad if a woman has to go into a locker room with a man and change with them. | ||
| And look, this is the thing. | ||
| We can pull it down. | ||
| I'm going to go to this next video. | ||
| This next interview I thought was really, really powerful. | ||
| This person is extremely well spoken. | ||
| There's so many issues. | ||
| It's like the embarrassment of having to get undressed. | ||
| Robbing them of their potential and the reward for their hard work. | ||
| Again, the important thing to understand is none of this is necessary. | ||
| None of this is beneficial. | ||
| None of this is good. | ||
| None of this is helping anybody. | ||
| You don't have to put up with this. | ||
| You don't have to feel bad about standing up against this. | ||
| Just insist. | ||
| Just demand. | ||
| If you are a parent of a girl in sports or you're a girl in sports, just don't let them get away with this. | ||
| Don't accept this. | ||
| Don't silence yourself. | ||
| Don't be intimidated. | ||
| It's wrong. | ||
| It's just wrong. | ||
| And we need to speak up against it. | ||
| And for the normal people out there that think that all of these people are motivated by hatred, transphobia, you need to wake up. | ||
| You need to realize that this stuff didn't just happen. | ||
| This stuff is a part of a wider... | ||
| The truth is, this stuff is a part of a much wider and more complex and more sinister program. | ||
| To destroy humanity itself. | ||
| To castrate a generation. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Understand that this stuff doesn't just happen, it doesn't, the people that are doing it are not doing it out of a sense of love and goodwill. | ||
| This is a deeply sick perversion designed to destroy. | ||
| You don't have to give in to it, and it's not just something that occurs naturally. | ||
| Something that It's done on purpose. | ||
| Let's watch this clip. | ||
| This is Brandy Cruz interviewing a man who experienced detransition, and it's just a tragic story. | ||
| We may just play three minutes. | ||
| The whole thing's about six minutes. | ||
| I may finish it up on the other side. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| But first, here's this interview by Brandy Cruz. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I medicalized 17 years ago at an LGBT center. | |
| I'm a CSA survivor. | ||
| Doctors told me that what was wrong with me and how I felt about my body was not from CSA, even though I went there and said, did CSA make me this way? | ||
| CSA? | ||
| Yes, a childhood sexual assault. | ||
| And they said no. | ||
| They said no. | ||
| They said being gay is innate and being trans is innate and what you have is gender identity disorder. | ||
| They diagnosed me with gender dysphoria and I believed their bullshit for about 17 years. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| So for you, I mean, to what extent did you go through an actual attempt? | ||
| Are you willing to tell me everything that you went through? | ||
| Yeah, so I had FFS. | ||
| I had SRS. | ||
| I had an orchiectomy. | ||
| I had facial feminization surgery. | ||
| I had sex reassignment surgery. | ||
| I was on HRT for 17 years. | ||
| Now I'm on a combo dose because I can't go off. | ||
| I have multiple health conditions from transitioning young and transitioning for so long. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| So what was it for you that kind of woke you up to, this isn't what I should have done? | ||
| I found out that homosexual transition was environmentally caused in almost every single case by childhood sexual assault or by internalized homophobia or failed boy syndrome. | ||
| 92.5% of trans-identified males are straight and bisexual, and the only explanation for a straight or bisexual man to transition is autogynephilia. | ||
| So from my perspective, I went there and I was given a blanket diagnosis given to anybody who has a body issue as a child nowadays. | ||
| Did they ever try to refer you to, like, a therapist or any... | ||
| I went to therapy for a year. | ||
| I saw a psychologist. | ||
| I was diagnosed. | ||
| It took a year back then, not 15 minutes, and I was in the South on the East Coast. | ||
| But they still believed that transsexualism was innate, that gender identity was this innate disorder that people just had, and, like, CSA didn't really rule you out. | ||
| So, you know, having... | ||
| This is your experience. | ||
| You actually went through this, and you're still... | ||
| I mean, you still have... | ||
| The effects of it. | ||
| How do you find your story received by people who continue to sort of push medicalization? | ||
| They hate me. | ||
| They call me a bigot. | ||
| They say that trans women are women. | ||
| They say that gender dysphoria is a valid diagnosis. | ||
| I've combed through trans history. | ||
| I've read all of the old academics who created this. | ||
| If you go back to the early 1900s, transition was conceived by old academics who were trying to find a way for homosexuals to exist in a fascist world in Europe. | ||
| Havelock Ellis, Magnus Hirschfeld, that's why it was made. | ||
| It just so happens that age... | ||
| All right, folks, I'm going to pick up this video on the other side because, again, she is very good and very knowledgeable. | ||
| He is very good, very knowledgeable, and very sincere. | ||
| Again, it's just heartbreaking. | ||
| She's just like, yeah, I lost all my friends when I told them that, like, I didn't think I was transgender. | ||
| These people are heartless. | ||
| They're heartless and brutal. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||

You're watching The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | |
| Watch live right now at band.video. | ||
| Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| This is The American Journal. | ||
| I got just so many videos to get to you today and so many stories to cover. | ||
| We're going to pick up where we left off with this de-transitioner describing her experience in a way. | ||
| And let me give you the exact. | ||
| So Native Patriot posted this. | ||
| Find this video at LaNativePatriot. | ||
| Brandy Cruz interviews a man who was experimented on by doctors and psychologists. | ||
| I think if there's any video that I've ever seen that you could send to somebody who doesn't know what's going on or thinks that gender transition is a valid form of healthcare or that what's happening is all on the up and up, I mean, this person, I'm sorry, I genuinely don't know if they, if, I don't know what they call themselves, so. | ||
| This person is so sincere, so knowledgeable, so just the facts being laid out. | ||
| It's a very, very compelling testimony from this person that you really have to be a heartless reptile not to feel for what this person went through and be horrified that it's only getting worse. | ||
| And when she slash he, whoever this is, when they went through it, Back in the day, I think they say in the video, it took a couple years for me to finally, you know, for them to diagnose me. | ||
| Now they do it in 15 minutes. | ||
| Literally 15 minutes. | ||
| They've done studies. | ||
| They've done tests. | ||
| They've done sting operations where they send in a girl, say, actually, I feel like a boy, in 15 minutes sometimes from like a school counselor or a doctor, they'll have a prescription for permanent, life-altering, forever medicines. | ||
| Crazy. | ||
| So it's even worse now. | ||
| This person just lays out so clearly what a scam this all is. | ||
| So let's go back to the video. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If you go back to, like, the early 1900s, transition was conceived by old academics who were trying to find a way for homosexuals to exist in a fascist world in Europe. | |
| Havelock Ellis, Magnus Hirschfeld, that's why it was made. | ||
| It just so happens that AGP is also real, and that got latched onto. | ||
| A bunch of AGPs transitioned, and fast forward 100 years ago, and we have 100 years forward, and we have an ideology that's based on lies that kids are told to. | ||
| As soon as they have issues. | ||
| And God forbid you're effeminate and you believe that something's wrong with you as a man because you like pretty things and are sassy. | ||
| So how do you identify now? | ||
| I'm a gay man. | ||
| And, I mean, for people around you, have you lost friends or anyone by detransitioning? | ||
| I was cancelled by every friend I had who was liberal in this city and had to leave the city. | ||
| And you live here? | ||
| I live outside of the city now because I had to leave. | ||
| So how old are you now? | ||
| I am 34. So what is the message that you would send? | ||
| I mean, obviously there's protesters here. | ||
| You know, Riley Gaines, she's not necessarily talking about transitioning and all that. | ||
| She's talking more about men and girls sports. | ||
| But for you, what do you want people to know by hearing your story? | ||
| That you're willing to come here, even though you know that your message will probably make them angry. | ||
| Why is it important for you to be here? | ||
| Because people are being lied to when they're... | ||
| They're not being diagnosed with what actually causes the gender dysphoria. | ||
| They're just being diagnosed with a symptom of a problem. | ||
| And there are multiple problems that cause those symptoms. | ||
| And when you don't appropriately diagnose people, you lead them into a life of ruin. | ||
| All of these interventions are permanent, they're irreversible, and they lied to me. | ||
| I want people to know that they're lying to people. | ||
| They're not diagnosing autogynophiles as autogynophiles. | ||
| I have friends who medicalize all the way in our self-admitted AGPs who were never diagnosed. | ||
| The reason they feel this way, they were just transitioned. | ||
| Who do you blame for that? | ||
| Is it the doctors? | ||
| Is it politicians? | ||
| Is it the media? | ||
| Who do you blame for this sort of fast-tracking of medicalizing children? | ||
| I think after gay marriage was won, there was an empty hole in gay politics. | ||
| We had gotten everything we wanted, and I think trans jumped into all of the orgs that were associated with the gay community, and they lobbied to make gender identity a protected thing. | ||
| They started doing that in the 90s. | ||
| And I think this is a byproduct of the trans community intentionally watering things down and lobbying so everybody can have access. | ||
| And they don't care about the people who are indoctrinated, who are harmed by this loosey-goosey system where you can walk into a therapist in 15 minutes and be given a gender dysphoria diagnosis. | ||
| And what do you think it'll take to fix it? | ||
| It's going to take lawmakers to step up and shut it down. | ||
| I'm going to go to the next one. | ||
| Yeah, very powerful. | ||
| And again, you know, we start off... | ||
| By talking about the medical industry, medical school, the Hippocratic Oath, and I've always said, and I bring up the Hippocratic Oath all the time, because I feel like it just applies to everything, especially what I do here, even in terms of, you know, when it starts off and says, I will acknowledge the actions of the people that came before me, basically saying, I stand on the shoulder of giants, or the aspects of privacy. | ||
| Like, it all applies to everything that we do. | ||
| And then when you hear people talk about the failure of the medical industry, it sounds like, The failure of the system as a whole. | ||
| That they're treating the symptoms, not the cause. | ||
| So if you're not treating the cause, and you're only treating the symptoms, or you're treating a different cause, that's not actually causing the symptoms, and you're only making things worse, you're only causing more problems, and it's permanent, and you can't undo it. | ||
| It's like I'm sitting here thinking, yeah, it's kind of like blocking out the sun to stop global warming. | ||
| Or, you know, Some of the social great society type stuff. | ||
| Where it's like, okay, we assume that this is causing poverty, so now we're going to completely reorganize our entire society in a way that is practically impossible to undo to cure a symptom without ever going at the underlying cause. | ||
| So now we have this irreversible change in our operation that didn't solve the problem it was supposed to solve. | ||
| There's just a thread of continuity here. | ||
| There's a mirror image aspect to what's happening medically, to what's happening societally, and I can't help but notice that. | ||
| So again, just a very powerful and, to me, moving testimony from a victim of the transgender cult there. | ||
| I'm telling you, I got more videos to go to that I know what to do with, and there's more pouring in by the minute. | ||
| This was just delivered to me. | ||
| Breaking news. | ||
| Letitia James. | ||
| Tish, as I like to call her. | ||
| Her friends call her Tish. | ||
| Tish, town hall, derailed by Trump supporter question, will you apologize? | ||
| A town hall being held by far-left New York Attorney General Letitia James on Thursday night descended into chaos after a Trump supporter stood up and challenged the Democrat to apologize to the president. | ||
| Ooh, who could this be? | ||
| Who could this be? | ||
| Do you think we know the person who stood up? | ||
| If we don't, we should. | ||
| We'll try to find out who he is. | ||
| Maybe we'll get him on the show. | ||
| Let's go to the clip now. | ||
| This is Letitia James at a town hall. | ||
| Remember, the story with Tish James as of yesterday is she is officially under investigation and probably going to be facing criminal charges for fraudulently receiving or fraudulently providing fraudulent info to receive better rates on a loan to buy a house, which is More or less. | ||
| Exactly what she tried to send Trump to jail for 400 years for doing. | ||
| So she is now being hoisted by her own petard. | ||
| And it's petarded. | ||
| Let's go now to Letitia James. | ||
|
unidentified
|
My question is for Tush James. | |
| Will you apologize to President Trump for wasting millions of dollars and the state of New York for a witch trial? | ||
| And how does it feel to know that you will be imprisoned for mortgage fraud? | ||
| Yeah. | ||

|
Yeah, buddy, he's filming the whole thing. | |

They're discredited. | |
| Are they? | ||

And so we want to thank him. | |
| Oh, they're baseless and discredited. | ||
| You're going to jail. | ||
| Woman, you're going to jail. | ||
| Alright, we gotta find out who that guy is. | ||
| We gotta get him on. | ||
| We gotta reward him somehow for that powerful act of civil disobedience. | ||
| Not even disobedience. | ||
| He did what he was supposed to. | ||
| Look at these old boomers giving him the thumbs down. | ||
| Can you imagine? | ||
| I mean, we need to have a moment of silence. | ||
| For the people that think Letitia James is the good guy? | ||
| I'm not even mad at them. | ||
| I feel bad for them. | ||
| What is that world that they live in? | ||
| My world is full of good guys and bad guys, and it's easy to define who's who, and they're in a battle that will define the fate of humanity. | ||
| My world is filled with birds and sunshine. | ||
| Kids running around. | ||
| What is their world? | ||
| What is their world? | ||
| In fact, I had that conversation yesterday with somebody I hadn't seen in a while. | ||
| I said, how are you doing? | ||
| And they said, well, you know, kind of sick of Trump. | ||
| And it's like, what are you even sick of? | ||
| What is Trump even doing? | ||
| He's not even doing anything. | ||
| Everything he tries to do gets stopped by the judges and he's letting them do it. | ||
| What are they complaining about? | ||
| What are they sick of? | ||
| Hearing about him? | ||
| Hearing people lie about him continuously? | ||
| Yeah, I'd be sick of that too. | ||
| You should stop listening to them. | ||
| I just... | ||
| Imagine. | ||
| Just imagine being a 65-year-old man in a white polo in New York City giving a thumbs down to somebody for calling out Tish James a... | ||
| Hypocritical cow. | ||
| It's just... | ||
| You forget these people exist. | ||
| You forget. | ||
| You forget we are beset by the goblin-minded. | ||

Alright. | |
| I got a lot more videos to get to. | ||
| That one just broke and it's fantastic and we gotta find out who that guy is. | ||
| Shout him out. | ||
| Where should we go next? | ||
| Should we talk about the millions of dollars in Medicare money that's been scammed and provided to Democratic operatives? | ||
| Should we talk about... | ||
| Should we show a video? | ||
| Let's do this. | ||
| Let's go to clip number 17 here. | ||
| This will break your heart. | ||
| I guess yesterday, I believe, was VE Day, Victory in Europe Day, following World War II. | ||
| And LBC, an outlet in the UK, interviewed a 101-year-old man about his feelings here so many years on from his victory in Europe. | ||
| and and Yeah, this might be, this is, I don't even know how to put it, because I love this guy. | ||
| I mean, you know, this guy is one of the increasingly rare breed of humans that is just amazing in every possible way. | ||
| So I don't want to criticize him. | ||
| At the same time, what you're about to see is a video of exactly where you don't want to be. | ||
| You don't want to be 101 years old. | ||
| Looking back at your life and saying, where did it all go wrong? | ||
| What has happened? | ||
| How was I somehow tricked into participating in the wanton dismantling of everything I hold dear? | ||
| Again, I feel a very, very deep sympathy for this guy at the same time. | ||
| Let's not make this mistake again. | ||
| Let's not start another world war. | ||
| Let's not let the bad guys drag us into another global conflict that kills another 10 plus million people, the best and brightest of our generation. | ||
| Let's learn from the mistakes of our forefathers. | ||
| Here's a 100-year-old veteran in the UK talking about his feelings about the country. | ||
| On VE Day. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, I think things are different. | |
| In fact, to be honest with you, this is not the country I fought for. | ||
| In my opinion, anyway. | ||
| Things are different, and I don't know what was today. | ||
| I think if the same thing was to happen today with the younger generation, I don't think they would cope. | ||
| As well as we did. | ||
| I think they'd cope as well as we did. | ||
| It's not the country I fought for. | ||
| Yeah, just brutal, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just absolutely brutal. | |
| You know, cut to 10,000 hijabi-wearing women on the streets of London waving a Pakistani flag. | ||
| This is our country now! | ||
| It's like, yeah, dude. | ||
| Something went wrong somewhere along those lines. | ||
| I should have pulled it in, but it was from so long ago, I don't know if I can find it anymore. | ||
| They have time-lapses. | ||
| That guy, I believe, was in World War I. VE Day is World War II. | ||
| But World War I was particularly brutal. | ||
| They have time-lapses. | ||
| Of the battle lines. | ||
| And you can sit there and watch for weeks as the lines barely move. | ||
| Everybody knows this, right? | ||
| It was trench warfare. | ||
| That's what happened. | ||
| They locked in. | ||
| They fought for months over a couple feet of land. | ||
| People say that. | ||
| It's cliche. | ||
| But really what you're seeing when you see something like that, what's actually being expressed, is that for all intents and purposes, there was a giant Continuously running, shredding machine. | ||
| Yeah, this is the exact video. | ||
| Thank you, crew. | ||
| How good is my crew? | ||
| Watch World War I every day on the Western Front in 60 seconds. | ||
| So we're watching a machine, right? | ||
| We're watching a mulching machine consume human souls. | ||
| Every day, every hour, bombs falling, bullets flying, human life being poured ceaselessly into the Gaping maw of this monster. | ||
| This demon called war. | ||
| Think about the mindset that kept this going. | ||
| We're still going. | ||
| We're going like 30 days a second here. | ||
| We're already in 1918. | ||
| Barely moving. | ||
| But every day, more people, more human lives poured wholesale into this machine of death. | ||
| You can just picture the shredding machine running continuously. | ||
| Just literally millions of human beings. | ||
| Millions upon millions of young men poured into it. | ||
| Fast forward 100 years. | ||
| All their cities are taken over. | ||
| Fast forward 100 years and they're being sent to jail for not liking the way things went. | ||
| Not liking the way things ended up. | ||
| Actually, that video of the veteran hit me so hard. | ||
| I forgot to make the joke about it. | ||
| I meant to come back from that video and say, he's in jail now, by the way. | ||
| Yeah, he is in prison now. | ||
| He's not. | ||
| But would you be surprised? | ||
| Would you be surprised if you had a 101-year-old veteran of World War II saying, it's not the country I fought for. | ||
| And they're just like... | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because it's too brown? | ||
| Because you're racist? | ||
| Hi, sir. | ||
| We're here with the Metropolitan Police. | ||
| We're here to look at your phone. | ||
| If you don't mind, we're going to take you to the jail now and get you booked, and you'll die there. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| All right. | ||
| Would you be surprised to know that veterans at 101 years old were arrested for not liking the outcome of the war they fought? | ||
| It's not out of the ordinary. | ||
| It's not out of the realm of possibility. | ||
| In fact, we're going to go to another video now, clip 22, about a young woman who did get sent to jail for not liking the fact that her country is now saturated with, filled with murderous foreigners killing little girls. | ||
| She had a bit of an emotional reaction to that, which is... | ||
| Illegal. | ||
| So she's going to jail now. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||

|
Lucy Connolly is in jail, having been sentenced to 31 months in prison for posting a pretty unpleasant tweet. | |
| On the day in July last year, when a guy called Axel Rudakabana went mad with a knife in a Taylor Swift dance club, brutally murdered three little girls and horribly injured six others. | ||
| The news breaking that little children had been massacred caused her to spiral. | ||
| And then that evening she posted a pretty inflammatory tweet which said, burn them all down. | ||
| I hate these politicians, the government, they do nothing. | ||
| And she said, if that makes me racist, so be it. | ||
| Lucy then went for a walk with the dog, got home about an hour, hour and a half later, thought, oh God, that was a very heated tweet. | ||
| That doesn't really speak well of me, so took it down. | ||
| Eight days later, the police came. | ||
| She said quite quickly she realised they want to handle me. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Yeah, no, it's not the country you fought for. | ||
| No, it actually bears no passing resemblance to the country that you fought for. | ||
| You live in a dystopian hell world, quite frankly. | ||
| And that really is, I mean, if you want an accurate view of the world today, understand that the world ended around 1913. | ||
| The world ended. | ||
| It was going, it persisted. | ||
| Human society, human civilization, a couple thousand years. | ||
| Then it ended right around the time of World War I. And we stopped being a civilization and we started just being soldiers in a war. | ||
| And ever since World War I, the war has never ended. | ||
| There hasn't been two world wars. | ||
| There has been one war started in 1914 and has been persistent ever since. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| And I don't know how we get back. | ||
| I don't know how we get back, but I don't like it here. | ||
| Personally, and I feel heartbroken for the... | ||
| People that have had to live through this and only in the final hour realize what they've been party to. | ||
| In fact, on that note, let's go to clip number 21 here. | ||
| This is Tucker Carlson talking about this waking up and this awareness. | ||
| And here's what I don't want to do with what I'm saying. | ||
| Indulge in what they used to call therapeutic nihilism. | ||
| Yeah, I'm bringing that back up. | ||
| Yeah, I'm not trying to black pill you here. | ||
| In fact, I have exactly the opposite reading. | ||
| Because we're not in the situation that we're 100 years old and don't have much time ahead of us to do things and fix things. | ||
| We actually are just starting to see the pushback. | ||
| Just starting to see the movement to rescue the world from the mire of war that we've been involved in for the last 100 years. | ||
| Let's go to Tucker Carlson. | ||
| Expressing this in a way that I don't quite jive with, and I'll explain, I'll give my take on the other side, but here's Tucker Carlson describing his awakening. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
| Now we all know that this whole enterprise is bullshit and they refuse to get better. | ||
| They refuse to admit it. | ||
| And as a former alcoholic, I know the process of just admit it. | ||
| Just admit it. | ||
| I'm kind of a loser. | ||
| Sorry, you can say that. | ||
| Because it's true and everyone knows it already. | ||
| Just admit it and get better. | ||
| They refused. | ||
| They're still defending the Iraq War. | ||
| They're still defending the indefensible Vietnam War. | ||
| Still pretending we didn't know the Japanese were going to attack Pearl Harbor. | ||
| Like, there's too many lies. | ||
| Like, I can't deal with this many lies, actually. | ||
| And it's very unhealthy to live in a society that is defined by lies. | ||
| It corrodes your soul. | ||
| It's bad for you. | ||
| You go to hell, actually. | ||
| You're living in hell when you live that way. | ||
| And all of this came to me in this short period of time, and I couldn't quite articulate it, but I felt it so strongly it affected my sleep. | ||
| It really just changed my life forever. | ||
| It's a burden to have all of your pre-existing beliefs explode in a short period of time. | ||
| You know, it's like, wow. | ||
| It's like being kicked out of a cult. | ||
| You're like, I can't believe I live there. | ||
| That's what I don't get. | ||
| How can it be a burden? | ||
| How can it be a burden to stop believing in lies? | ||
| I get what he was saying. | ||
| I mean, it's not... | ||
| It can be painful. | ||
| It can be shocking. | ||
| It can be disorienting. | ||
| It's not a burden. | ||
| It's the lifting of a burden. | ||
| Everybody gets it, I think. | ||
| I like to think. | ||
| I like to believe that human beings with souls feel it somewhere deep in their long, calcified pineal gland. | ||
| There's something. | ||
| There's an ember there still burning. | ||
| That's going, this is wrong. | ||
| This is all wrong. | ||
| I don't know why, but it doesn't feel right. | ||
| Carlson was just describing. | ||
| He's going, I couldn't sleep at night, even though I couldn't put my finger on it. | ||
| And I think, as he says, it's like being an alcoholic and just having to admit, I have a problem. | ||
| I'm helpless here. | ||
| This is an issue for me. | ||
| It's a matter of will. | ||
| I genuinely think it's a matter of will. | ||
| It's a matter of... | ||
| Confidence and bravery and assuredness and will. | ||
| And you just have to go, I'm just going to pursue the truth no matter where it leads. | ||
| And if it turns out that I'm wrong and I look like an idiot, then I'm wrong and I look like an idiot. | ||
| But that's just how it is. | ||
| That's just the truth. | ||
| A lot of people, I think, resist for any number of reasons. | ||
| Because it's your job, because it's... | ||
| It's painful to imagine, to think back about all the Facebook arguments you've gotten in, to go, oh crap, I was on the completely wrong side of that the whole time. | ||
| Well, tough crap. | ||
| You get over it. | ||
| Just get over it. | ||
| Admit it. | ||
| Admit that this is all messed up. | ||
| Admit that this is all wrong. | ||
| Admit that you recognize it. | ||
| Don't be scared. | ||
| Don't be frightened. | ||
| Don't be shy. | ||
| It's all good. | ||
| Waking up to this stuff. | ||
| It is the opening of the cage. | ||
| It is the unloading of a burden. | ||
| You will not be disoriented and confused and borne down by the weight of all of this contradiction and hypocrisy and lies. | ||
| Toss it off your back, step into the sunlight, and celebrate it. | ||
| What burden? | ||
| You can count on one hand who the real brains of the Democratic Party are. | ||
| John Podesta. | ||
| James Carville, a few others. | ||
| And Carville has come out in the last few weeks and months and criticized AOC and criticized Ilhan Omar and Rashid Tlaib and all of them saying, oh, stop saying whites are inherently evil. | ||
| Stop saying they're the cause of everybody's problems. | ||
| Not because he isn't saying white men are evil, but because it wakes them up and makes them angry and you can't tell them. | ||
| You know, we just saw... | ||
| Tampon Tim Walls last week say, I was only brought in to fool the white guys because I can speak their code. | ||
| Well, you obviously didn't fool them, you creepazoid. | ||
| But if you remember, right before Trump won, Carvel's like, if Trump wins, he's coming after the black people. | ||
| He's going to kill you. | ||
| We need a 1776 uprising to stop him. | ||
| That's even more wild than what Ilhan, an American-hating piece of garbage, had to say. | ||
| So, and he's still, at certain audiences, saying the anti-white thing to deem as if white people are evil, and then, you know, he brands his brand of communism as being anti-white, because they couldn't sell black folks in the last 50 years on being communist, so they sell it, or try to sell it, it's failed, as a cultural Marxism. | ||
| I mean, that's the admitted plan. | ||
| But the fact that he's more sophisticated, and to certain audiences, says stop with your open racism against whites, But with other audiences, spews the message, shows that he's just as delusional as Ilhan Omar. | ||
| At least Ilhan Omar is always anti-white because she really is with an inferiority complex coming from her Somalian shithole country. | ||
| Imagine how bad she feels being in the West in such a superior culture. | ||
| She's born and bred by Islam to hate the West and hate Christianity. | ||
| She at least is honest about her full-throated... | ||
| Hatred of the West that she's come to conquer and crap all over. | ||
| But in the case of a technocrat like Carville, he really thinks he can put out these double messages and that people don't notice. | ||
| So here's the full latest Carville statement about, oh, don't be racist to the white man. | ||
| That's not good for voting. | ||
| And then his previous statement about, yeah, Trump's coming to kill the black people, which is important because... | ||
| They've all been hyping that Trump's going to kill blacks and Trump's going to kill migrants en masse. | ||
| Trump would never do that. | ||
| A, he's not like that. | ||
| B, it would be a political disaster. | ||
| Plus, record numbers of Hispanics and blacks voting for him. | ||
| The most ever for any Republican. | ||
| No, they're getting ready for a false flag. | ||
| To shoot up an illegal alien demonstration or something like that and say it's Trump. | ||
| I mean, that's the last piece of the puzzle. | ||
| I predict that's coming this summer on the current ramp up they've got. | ||
| I predict the Tesla terror attacks for it started all of it. | ||
| But exposing this could stop it. | ||
| This is just Jussie Smollett staged events at the next level. | ||
| So, the good news is, more and more people of every color are seeing through this. | ||
| We need to come together, get behind President Trump's agenda to secure the border, secure our sovereignty, get our country re-industrialized, and move forward with liberty, freedom, and the American way. | ||
| So here's Carville. | ||

Ilian Omar says that white men... | |
| We're responsible for most of the deaths in the United States. | ||
| So let me get this straight. | ||
| 69% of the people, I'm stuck on that number, I don't know, but 69% of the people who are going to vote are white. | ||
| Of that, 48 and a half are males. | ||
| So, I don't know, my rough mass is 33%. | ||
| Let's go out and piss off 33% of the people that vote, and that's a smart strategy. | ||
| And the people that agree with her. | ||
| There are people that actually agree with her. | ||
| And I think, honestly, I think these people are in more trouble than they're worth. | ||
| I would say our country should be more fearful of white men across our country because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We should be profiling, monitoring, and creating policies to fight the radicalization of white men. | |
| So we have—they're telling you—and by the way, if they win, they're going to correctly say, "We told you in the election what we were going to do, and you voted for us. | ||
| You have green-lighted the whole thing." And if we don't tell people about that, if they don't—if these young black men— How do you think they're going to do? | ||
| If you're a young black male and Trump-inspired army roundup of people, how well do you think you're going to do in that? | ||
| You think you've got nothing to lose? | ||
| How about looking at American history for one time? | ||
| Insane. | ||

| A.G. Pam Bondi was covertly recorded on April 28th revealing previously undisclosed information about Epstein regarding tens of thousands of videos of little kids to a complete stranger in a D.C. restaurant. | ||
| Which is interesting. | ||
| Undercover footage submitted to OMG reveals U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi privately admitting that the FBI is sitting on tens of thousands of videos related to Jeffrey Epstein, many of which reportedly involve children. | ||
| This revelation was made in a casual conversation on April 28th in a D.C. restaurant just nine days before Pam Bondi made an almost identical claim publicly during a press gaggle. | ||
| We also have a story that I thought I had right here of Anna Paulina Luna is getting on Pam Bondi saying, quote, stop stonewalling. | ||
| Anna Paulina Luna demands Pam Bondi swiftly release Jeffrey Epstein files. | ||
| The crimes of Jeffrey Epstein implicated the most powerful members of our society and one of the most horrific sex trafficking rings to be uncovered in this century, the St. Petersburg Republican said. | ||
| The survivors of Jeffrey Epstein, as well as the American people, deserve to know who among the elite protected, enabled, or participated in Jeffrey Epstein's disgusting racket. | ||
| She, of course, heads the Task Force on Declassification of Federal Secrets. | ||
| The panel was named to scrutinize prior investigations of matters like the JFK assassination, the September 11th terrorist attacks, and the investigations of Epstein, a Florida billionaire convicted of sex trafficking who died in federal prison. | ||
| Well, who is said to have killed himself in federal prison, but who didn't kill himself and might not have died in federal prison. | ||
| Regardless, it's good to see Anna Paulina Luna picking up this baton and running with it because that is the truth. | ||
| We don't need to see videos. | ||
| I don't care about videos. | ||
| I'm not interested in videos. | ||
| Keep the videos, Pam. | ||
| Destroy the videos. | ||
| Or just keep them. | ||
| Just keep them stored somewhere. | ||
| We don't need to see those. | ||
| We're not interested in watching disgusting videos of creepy old men with young girls. | ||
| We're not... | ||
| That's not what we want. | ||
| That's not the point of this. | ||
| The point is to identify and then punish the criminals involved. | ||
| And we don't need to see their exploits. | ||
| We trust you. | ||
| We got you. | ||
| You say these guys were involved in some dirty stuff. | ||
| We'll take your word for that. | ||
| Just arrest them. | ||
| Identify and arrest them. | ||
| That's the point. | ||
| That's what we want. | ||
| So I got a hard time accepting This like, well, we gotta go through and censor all of it. | ||
| It's like, we don't care about the videos. | ||
| We don't. | ||
| Maybe people do. | ||
| I don't. | ||
| I don't want to see that crap. | ||
| I want to know the people who did it are being jailed for it. | ||
| Here's the video from James O 'Keefe and O 'Keefe Media Group on AG Pambondi talking out of turn to a random stranger in D.C. Let's watch. | ||
| Yesterday, Attorney General of the United States, Pam Bondi, was at the White House and disclosed what she represented as brand new information in relation to Jeffrey Epstein. | ||
| The existence of tens of thousands of videos featuring little children. | ||
| There are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn. | ||
| Now, this is the first time an official has publicly acknowledged that videos of Epstein and his victims exist. | ||
| What you may not know is just nine days prior, the Attorney General had a very similar conversation with a total stranger. | ||
| In the past, officials have spoken about the "mountain of evidence" in the Epstein case. | ||
| But they've never, previous to that moment, acknowledged on the existence of videos of Little kids. | ||
| Just a few days later, at 2pm on May 1st, our reporter sent the AG's office the text of the recording. | ||
| We asked why this detail had not been disclosed to the public, but was instead being told to a random stranger at a restaurant. | ||
| The Attorney General used almost the exact same language as she did with the stranger in the restaurant. | ||
| Language that we shared with her press office. | ||
| There are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn. | ||
| Now, we hesitated to publish this story, but believe, like we did yesterday, that the public... | ||
| Has a right to know. | ||
| And this one raises serious questions. | ||
| On one hand, why did our country's highest law enforcement official share this information first not with the American people, but with a self-described nanny at brunch? | ||
| But more importantly, why was this information held back in the first place? | ||
| Does this show that a government apparatus is still working behind the scenes to protect powerful people involved in the scandal? | ||
| Based upon the response to our Epstein story yesterday, it's clear that the American people want answers. | ||
| And they want accountability. | ||
| So there you go, another release by James O 'Keefe. | ||
| And yeah, we just want accountability. | ||
| We don't care about the... | ||
| I don't care about the video. | ||
| And again, it's just one of these things where it's like... | ||
| Do we even need confirmation of this, really? | ||
| Everything we know about Jeffrey Epstein was that... | ||
| Every one of his houses was wired to be recorded all the time. | ||
| I mean, that was the point of the operation. | ||
| And again, by admitting that they have these tapes, it's like the question is, okay, let's say they release these tapes. | ||
| Let's say they include identifiable prominent citizens, prominent Americans or foreigners engaged in criminal acts. | ||
| What's the implication there? | ||
| That the FBI has been holding on to this blackmail for the last 10 years? | ||
| What have they been doing with it? | ||
| What's been the interaction between the people featured in these videos and the law enforcement agencies holding the videos? | ||
| They haven't gone after the guys, but they had the videos the whole time. | ||
| They have the identities of the guys, but they haven't charged them with anything. | ||
| So, are they doing anything with it? | ||
| If not, why not? | ||
| If so, what? | ||
| A lot of extra questions come about when you really think about the implications of the existence of these tapes. | ||
| Troubling stuff. | ||
| Very, very troubling stuff, and I encourage Anna Paulina Luna to continue to agitate and advocate for release of this information. | ||
| Speaking of releasing information, we got a lot of... | ||
| We're going to get into, in this final hour, we still have yet to get to the Pope. | ||
| We're going to talk about some very strange new realities when it comes to America's relationship with Israel. | ||
| And we're going to talk about what looks to be something along the same lines as the lockstep document, a planning document, a scenario planning document from years ago. | ||
| That somehow predicted India-Pakistan war in 2025, with the prediction being that this is how nuclear war begins. | ||
| So we'll get into that as well. | ||
| But first, just some updates from the Trump administration. | ||
| Some successes here in the tariff war. | ||
| Hassett says that they're seeing positive developments around U.S.-China trade meeting. | ||
| So this keeps getting teased and dangled before us. | ||
| Hasn't happened yet, but it does look like it's moving closer. | ||
| White House Economic Advisor Kevin Hassett said on Friday, signs in advance of weekend U.S.-China trade talks in Switzerland are promising and positive. | ||
| He's the director of the National Economic Council, and he spoke with U.S. Trade Representative Jameson Greer and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent as they were leaving for the meeting Thursday night. | ||
| So they're headed out to Switzerland and should be meeting in sort of unofficial... | ||
| Semi-direct talks with China to at least get the ball rolling and hopefully avoid really catastrophic economic damage being done because of these tariffs. | ||
| Meanwhile, the tariffs are having positive effect here in this country. | ||
| World's second largest carmaker to move manufacturing of luxury brand to the U.S. The second largest carmaker in the world will be relocating the manufacturing of its luxury brand to the United States after President Donald Trump... | ||
| Has been encouraging car companies to do business in the U.S. Volkswagen Group, which is the second largest car manufacturer in the world, will be joining a number of other car manufacturers in moving production to the United States for the German automaker's luxury brand Audi per the Daily Mail. | ||
| So again, we're already seeing success in this. | ||
| This is just one of many, many very similar stories showing the positive effects of tariffs as these corporations were just making... | ||
| Choices on business. | ||
| It was way cheaper and way better to screw over the American people, and as soon as that stopped being the case, they're happy to come back. | ||
| Literally just dollars and cents, percentage points, strictly math. | ||
| It's all math, purely business. | ||
| For the most part. | ||
| I mean, they're also evil and engaged in massive conspiracies to destroy our rights, but more or less, they're all about the money. | ||
| And if it makes economic sense to build here, they build here. | ||
| You just have to set the game up that way. | ||
| You have to set the board game up in a way that makes it financially beneficial to be here, or else they'll leave. | ||
| Very, very simple. | ||
| Meanwhile, Trump's DOJ may release audio of Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Herr in classified documents case. | ||
| President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden were both investigated for the same thing during the Biden years, but where Trump saw his home raided, documents seized, and federal charges brought, Biden was classified as a, quote, dotty old man who could never stand trial and was never held accountable for his actions. | ||
| Herr opted against prosecuting the president, just as special counsel Jack Smith fought hard to prosecute Trump. | ||
| Though the audio of the interviews with Special Counsel Robert Herr, who investigated the classified document claims against Biden, was requested by Congress, they were never delivered. | ||
| Now the Trump administration, per Politico, may be making plans to release the audio. | ||
| I mean, you can release it, but what's it going to show? | ||
| Joe Biden being a mentally deficient, incompetent, bumbling old man? | ||
| Because, boy, do I have news for you. | ||
| If that's the type of content you're looking for, I got you covered, folks. | ||
| So I'm sure there'd be interesting things to figure out. | ||
| I'm sure there's things still to discover in these Ben-Hur tapes, but yeah, Biden's mental incapacity is not one of them. | ||
| The Trump administration is talking about reviving the National Space Council. | ||
| Elon Musk reportedly has been opposed to bringing the group back. | ||
| The White House is reviving the National Space Council, a historically influential policy body that could help guide the administration's ambitious space goals while acting as a counterbalance to Elon Musk. | ||
| The revival of the council ends speculation that President Donald Trump would not bring back the office following lobbying from Musk's SpaceX company. | ||
| The council, which Trump also revived in 2017 after it had been dormant for 24 years, We're going to space. | ||
| We're doing it. | ||
| We're going to space. | ||
| And we're going to be protected from space. | ||
| And space is real. | ||
| If you're a sucker. | ||
| Now, the council will likely take on the Trump administration's already lengthy space ambitions, including building a space-based missile shield called Golden Dome, beating China to a moon landing before 2030, landing astronauts on Mars, and supporting commercial space companies. | ||
| That includes potentially launching new rockets next year to trial systems for landing astronauts on Mars. | ||
|

|
Thank you. | |
| You know how I feel about Mars, but whatever, it'd be fun to go. | ||
| It'd be fun to have people there. | ||
| I think more important than that would be the moon. | ||
| I think, personally, would anybody in America be against a You know, announced military objective to deny forever China from landing on the moon. | ||
| And wouldn't that be a worthy cause? | ||
| I think it would. | ||
| I think we should go to the moon. | ||
| We should set up turrets. | ||
| And then the moon can just be ours forever. | ||
| I think it should be ours forever, personally. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Maybe that's my... | ||
| I'm not normally a xenophobic person, but my xenophobia senses tingle when I think about the Chinese on the moon. | ||
| It's like, you mean our moon? | ||
| You mean this little jewel in the sky with the American flag on it? | ||
| Who's going there? | ||
| China? | ||
| You say China? | ||
| It's going to be on the moon? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| I don't think so, alright? | ||
| Already taken over our universities. | ||
| They've taken over Hollywood. | ||
| They've taken over corporations. | ||
| Taking over our manufacturing. | ||
| They're not taking the moon, alright? | ||
| I'm not going to stand for it. | ||
| As moon base commander, I disallow it. | ||
| So write that one down. | ||
| Jot that one down, China. | ||
| It ain't happening. | ||
| But seriously, would that not be a worthy cause? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| I don't know. | ||
| War on the moon. | ||
| I want to see that in my lifetime. | ||
| Now, the big story yesterday broke right after my show went off the air is the new Pope. | ||
| We've got a new Pope, folks, Pope Leo XIV. | ||
| He's the first American to serve. | ||
| And I'll tell you, it's very funny when anything like this happens with the Catholic Church because there's... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Catholics are funny, man. | ||
| You guys are funny. | ||
| I don't know what to tell you. | ||
| You guys are very silly. | ||
| You have people going, why is everybody talking about his politics? | ||
| He's a church leader. | ||
| He's just a religious leader. | ||
| And it's like, what are you talking about? | ||
| He's a world leader. | ||
| He is essentially a king. | ||
| He is a, yeah, spiritual influencer, you could say. | ||
| But he also tangibly controls armies. | ||
| Of priests. | ||
| Armies of agents. | ||
| Billions of dollars. | ||
| He is as political of an actor as any head of state anywhere in the world. | ||
| But Catholics don't really want to talk about his politics. | ||
| They don't want to talk about his spiritual beliefs, which I'm sure are good. | ||
| But he's a political actor. | ||
| He is a political figure. | ||
| And so to downplay the politics is a little bit disingenuous in my opinion. | ||
| It's also, I don't know, Catholics don't have a great deal of humor about the Pope, I find. | ||
| I'm constantly reminded. | ||
| I like that he chose the name Leo. | ||
| That is a very storied name. | ||
| Probably the coolest Pope of all time was Leo I, who single-handedly stopped Attila the Hun from sacking Rome. | ||
| Attila the Hun's army. | ||
| Waited outside of the gates of Rome after having sacked everybody and anybody on their path to the Eternal City. | ||
| They were slated to just raise it to the ground. | ||
| Nothing could stop them. | ||
| No army stood in their way. | ||
| No force could even feasibly be gathered to prevent a sacking of Rome. | ||
| And so Leo I went out alone, had like a two-hour conversation with Attila the Hun, and Attila the Hun turned around and went away. | ||
| Didn't sack Rome. | ||
| Left it alone. | ||
| You know, you talk about historical instances where you'd love to be a fly on the wall. | ||
| What did Pope Leo say to Attila the frickin' Hun that turned him around? | ||
| Did he make a deal? | ||
| Did he convince him spiritually? | ||
| Did he perform a miracle? | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| But it's a good name for him to have. | ||
| Leo the Tenth is another good one. | ||
| Leo XIII. | ||
| It's also not necessarily good for the Catholic Church, but certainly monumental events tend to happen under Pope's name, Leo. | ||
| The Protestant Revolution broke out under a Pope, Leo. | ||
| So I think it is a story to name a good sign, I think. | ||
| Pope Leo XIV, he's the first American. | ||
| To serve as pontiff. | ||
| Trump wrote on Truth Social, Congratulations to Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, who was just named Pope. | ||
| It is such an honor to realize he is the first American pope. | ||
| What excitement and what a great honor for our country. | ||
| I look forward to meeting Pope Leo XIV. | ||
| It will be a very meaningful moment. | ||
| He was a native of Chicago. | ||
| He was elected to be the pontiff, taking the name Pope Leo XIV. | ||
| He was born in 1955. | ||
| He's 69 years old. | ||
| And was appointed by Pope Francis as a cardinal in 2023. | ||
| His election comes after Pope Francis' death at age 88 last month. | ||
| The late pontiff died on April 21st early in the morning after suffering a stroke as well as heart failure following a long stint in the hospital for pneumonia. | ||
| Earlier on Thursday, white smoke rose from the Sistine Chapel indicating a new pope had been chosen on the second day of that conclave, which is very quick as far as I understand. | ||
| But it makes sense since the previous pope had suffered under a long and debilitating It wasn't exactly a surprise that the Conclave was called. | ||
| And it was probably fairly formulaic. | ||
| They had to check all the boxes, dot the I's and cross the T's. | ||
| But it wasn't apparently a very difficult decision for them to choose this guy. | ||
| We'll wait and see. | ||
| I'll show you a video of him on the other side. | ||
| But he looks like he's pro-migrant. | ||
| Which probably doesn't bode well for... | ||

You're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | |
| Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Final segment of The American Journal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're talking about the Pope. | |
| We're talking about the Pope. | ||
| It just goes to show you how far gone things are in this world. | ||
| If there is one organization that should theoretically be capable of resisting the Progressive era. | ||
| It should be something like the Eternal Church of Rome. | ||
| Like, how is it that even this organization is feeling the need to bend their will to the demands of freaks, freaks across the world? | ||
| But then again, you look into the history of the Vatican, and it might not be as surprising as you expect. | ||
| After all, they're literally Like, worshipping demons in the Vatican now. | ||
| The Pachamama scandal. | ||
| So, yeah, they've fallen. | ||
| They've fallen fairly far. | ||
| So, you know, I don't know what to tell Catholics. | ||
| I get that, you know, this is your head of state. | ||
| This is your supreme leader, but it's not good. | ||
| It's not good. | ||
| And you see people defending him in really bizarre ways. | ||
| They wouldn't defend anybody else. | ||
| And again, it's this idea of like, well, he's just the religious leader. | ||
| Sure, he makes political statements, but he's making it from the position of the head of the church. | ||
| So of course he's going to say that we need to be merciful and loving to migrants and things like that. | ||
| It's like, okay. | ||
| Some of the most Destructively targeted countries in the world are Catholic countries that are being dismantled for immigration, legal and illegal. | ||
| Ireland is like target number one for dispossession and displacement of the natives. | ||
| And it's the country probably most people associate with Catholicism outside of the Vatican itself. | ||
| Spain, another massively important Catholic. | ||
| Stronghold, totally being destroyed by Muslim invasion. | ||
| Italy, totally being destroyed by Muslim invasion. | ||
| So, these are political phenomena, but they are destroying the Catholic Church. | ||
| And here you have the leader of the Catholic Church providing cover for, and even more importantly, preventing the resistance of these Muslims flooding into these countries. | ||
| I can understand that if an Irish Catholic is sort of conflicted and is going, well, they're refugees and I want to be, you know, Jesus tells me to love everybody, but I don't like these people coming into my country. | ||
| That makes me feel kind of guilty. | ||
| Should I feel guilty about that? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Should I stand up against this? | ||
| Or should I just accept it? | ||
| And then you turn to the Pope and the Pope says, you know, the Pope is literally kissing the feet of Muslims and saying this is, you know, that has to be the number one priority and it's a sin to keep these people out. | ||
| And that's going to decide it for you. | ||
| That's going to massively influence the way that you deal with this political reality. | ||
| So, don't make excuses for this. | ||
| Like, you don't need to make excuses for this. | ||
| He's destroying Catholic homelands. | ||
| As the head of the Catholic Church. | ||
| Something's wrong here, okay? | ||
| Don't get mad at me for pointing that out. | ||
| Pope Leo XIV looked the other way when confronted with child sex abuse allegations against priests in his Chicago church. | ||
| The newly elected Pope Leo XIV is facing accusations of looking the other way when confronted with child sex abuse allegations against a priest in his Chicago and South American churches. | ||
| It has emerged. | ||
| Robert Prevost, who became the first North American pontiff on Thursday, was accused by a survivor's group. | ||
| of failing to act upon allegations of abuse in the U.S. and in Peru, concerns they relayed to the cardinals who selected him. | ||
| Staying silent is a sin. | ||
| We have a story about this from Kellen McBreen on Infowars. | ||
| Newly elected Pope Leo XIV has dark history of ignoring child sex abuse in the Catholic Church. | ||
| Again, that's going to dog the Catholic Church forever, even though you're way more likely to be molested in a public school than a Catholic Church, but nobody associates. | ||
| Teachers with pedophiles in the way that they do Catholic priests. | ||
| So, you know, it's bad and the whole Vatican is just replete with homosexuals and conspiracies and bankers and all this other crap. | ||
| So, I don't know. | ||
| I'm torn. | ||
| I respect the Catholics. | ||
| Half my family's Catholic, but on the other hand, you know the tree by the fruit. | ||
| So, there you go. | ||
| And I wonder, you know, this would be a great test. | ||
| Here's a great little gauntlet for the new pope to run, a new test for him to pass. | ||
| Chicago Mayor permanently removes all Columbus statues from city parks. | ||
| Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said he supports the decision for the city to permanently eliminate statues of Christopher Columbus from two different city parks. | ||
| He said that decision shows the city's collective humanity. | ||
| Is the Pope going to speak up against this? | ||
| I mean, it's anti-white, definitely. | ||
| Primarily, it's anti-white. | ||
| It's also very anti-Catholic. | ||
| I mean, you look at the Catholic body now. | ||
| Its biggest stronghold, its most widespread influence is in South America, Central America. | ||
| That only exists because Christopher Columbus, as an emissary of Catholicism, in part, Cross the ocean with the blessings of the Spanish crown and the Pope, for that matter. | ||
| Will he speak up against this? | ||
| Will he go out on a limb and decry the vandalism, the wanton destruction of history with an anti-Catholic bent, an anti-Italian bent, an anti-white bent? | ||
| Or will he stay silent for the sake of our collective humanity, as Brandon Johnson puts it? | ||
| I guess we'll have to see. | ||
| I guess we'll have to wait and see. | ||
| Now this is interesting. | ||
| I thought this story was going to be in line with the other stories I was about to cover about Israel and the Trump administration, but this is actually at odds with everything else that I was about to cover. | ||
| So, some interesting developments have come about. | ||
| Between the Trump administration and Israel. | ||
| The story that was just delivered to me says, Jared Kushner quietly advising Trump administration ahead of Middle East trip. | ||
| As President Donald Trump prepares for the first major foreign trip to the Middle East of his second term, some administration officials have privately turned to a familiar face for help navigating the region, Jared Kushner. | ||
| The president's son-in-law, who served as a chief Middle East negotiator in Trump's first term and built deep relationships with leaders in the region, has been informally advising administration officials on negotiations with Arab leaders. | ||
| Multiple Trump administration officials and people close to Kushner tell CNN, though Kushner is unlikely to join Trump on the trip, he has been heavily involved in discussions with Arab nations, including Saudi Arabia, about signing agreements that would normalize diplomatic relations with Israel. | ||
| The sources said. | ||
| So, you know, Kushner was a thorn in the side of Trump during his first administration, at least from the perspective of his supporters. | ||
| Jared Kushner was not benefiting Trump as much as he was using Trump to benefit Israel and his own, you know, business interests. | ||
| Jared Kushner, of course, married to Ivanka, Ivana, whatever her name is. | ||
| Ivana was the wife, right? | ||
| Ivanka Trump's daughter. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ivana's her mom. | |
| Ivana's the mom, right? | ||
| So, you know, because of the way things went down last time, Kushner's largely been absent, at least visually absent, from the Trump administration, the entire Trump campaign, this time. | ||
| And it's interesting and kind of confusing to me why he's cropping up as being involved and negotiating and heavily involved in discussions. | ||
| In the Middle East, when every other story I have from today is talking about the way Trump is sort of fed up with Israel's leadership and not taking them into account nearly as much anymore. | ||
| And I got a lot of videos to get to about this. | ||
| I'll be able to get to all of them. | ||
| But just as a smattering of headlines, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth cancels his scheduled visit to Israel. | ||
| Sources tell The Post, Hegseth will still travel with Trump to Saudi Arabia and Gulf countries, including Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, but he will not be going to Israel. | ||
| Which is very strange. | ||
| Very strange. | ||
| He was scheduled to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Israeli counterpart, Israel Katz, according to a Saturday Axios report. | ||
| Hegseth will still travel with Trump to Saudi Arabia and Gulf countries, including Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. | ||
| This comes following reports that Trump is no longer demanding Saudi Arabia normalize ties with Israel as a condition for progress on civil nuclear cooperation talks. | ||
| So we have that one here. | ||
| Trump no longer demanding Saudis recognize Israel for nuclear deal with U.S. So this again is a major change in the way these negotiations have been carried out for this current administration, but also stretching back into Trump's first administration. | ||
| Deal between Riyadh and D.C. still far from reach. | ||
| Senator Graham says he opposes any pact with Saudis that excludes normalization with the Jewish state. | ||
| And yeah, I mean, it's practically a parody at this point, but you'll see some names crop up that we haven't heard very much. | ||
| With all of the talk about tariffs and... | ||
| You know, race relations, all this sort of stuff. | ||
| Epstein file releases. | ||
| You never hear the names Lindsey Graham, Tom Cotton. | ||
| They're not all that interested in that. | ||
| The moment Israel gets involved, they're chirping in, though. | ||
| They're very much chirping in. | ||
| We'll show you a clip of that in just a second. | ||
| So, Hegseth's not going to Israel anymore. | ||
| Trump's no longer demanding Saudi Arabia recognize Israel in order to achieve a deal on civilian nuclear usage. | ||
| Clay Martin at Way of Theirs on X. I thought this had to be a meme, but I went and I checked and it's real. | ||
| Can somebody explain to me how a foreign nation can block our sovereign foreign policy? | ||
| So this is from Israel Hayom. | ||
| This is where we stand. | ||
| It says, the president won't be able to get approval to push forward a civilian nuclear program for Saudi Arabia without the Israeli component, the Israeli official told Israel Hayom. | ||
| He doesn't have a Senate majority for any agreement that doesn't include Israel or that moves forward without its consent. | ||
| So that's wild. | ||
| That is wild. | ||
| That is a foreign minister saying the President of America will not be able to achieve his foreign policy objectives. | ||
| That he will be hamstrung by his own Senate who works for us, not him. | ||
| That's wild. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| That is an insanely brazen thing to say. | ||
| Especially in this tent. | ||
| Tense, fraught moment of anti-Semitic hate on the rise. | ||
| And here you have an Israeli authority saying, oh, America thinks they can make an agreement with Saudi Arabia without our approval? | ||
| Well, go ask your senators, okay, because they work for us. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Glad to know where we stand. | ||
| Glad to know where we're at. | ||
| So again, that is wild. | ||
| That is absolutely crazy. | ||
| An Israeli official is essentially blocking our foreign policy. | ||
| The president will not be able to get approval. | ||
| He doesn't have a Senate majority for any agreement that doesn't include Israel or the moves forward without its consent. | ||
| So Israel, through the weapon, through the medium of the U.S. Senate, is now exercising a veto on the president's foreign power, foreign policy power. | ||
|
unidentified
|
for. | |
| Not exactly discrediting claims of the anti-Semites there, I'm just saying. | ||
| From Breitbart, and this is the big story that, again, is sort of in contradiction to what we've seen about Jared Kushner. | ||
| Trump, disappointed in Netanyahu, will go it alone in the Middle East. | ||
| He apparently has cut off communication with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. | ||
| He's decided to make his next moves in the Middle East without him. | ||
| The report, published in Hebrew and citing two sources close to Trump, would seem to corroborate the observation that Trump has cut Netanyahu out of his decision-making process on major policy steps. | ||
| And good, and it's about time. | ||
| Think about what we've experienced over the last couple of months. | ||
| Israel, as we've explained a million times, Israel did all this crazy crap over the last year and a half, bombing all of their neighbors, making enemies out of everybody. | ||
| With the assumption, with the understanding that if, at the end of it all, they could get war with Iran, which they cannot do by themselves and require America to be involved in, then it would all be worth it. | ||
| So they have this brief moment, this brief time period where they've destroyed the proxy networks, they've dismantled the axis of resistance, they've overthrown Assad and put an ISIS leader in charge. | ||
| I mean, the time is ripe. | ||
| Now is the time. | ||
| They have to go in for Iran or else it's all going to backfire tremendously. | ||
| So they're doing everything they possibly can. | ||
| You've got Waltz being fired because he was actually, as the officials in the White House said, working for a foreign president, not this one. | ||
| Okay, so Waltz is cooperating with Netanyahu to try to start a world war on the back of America, try to influence America that doesn't want to go to war with Iran to start a war with Iran for the benefit of Israel, to start a catastrophic and cataclysmic Disastrous worldwide conflict in total flagrant disregard of the will of the president and the people who voted for him. | ||
| Hegseth, who made a lot of pro-Israel comments before becoming defense secretary, once he became defense secretary, was on the side of J.D. Vance and others avoiding and resisting war against Iran. | ||
| So then his... | ||
| Associates that he'd brought in that were also anti-Iran all got ousted through totally baseless supposed scandals about leaks that nobody can even point to. | ||
| So he's been isolated. | ||
| Then they did Signalgate where you've got Waltz himself sending the war chat and the war plans to the editor of The Atlantic causing a giant scandal there where for weeks it was Pete Hegseth who was being called to be fired even though He wasn't the one that leaked the chat in the first place. | ||
| Then there was this, like, second round of Signal Chat where they doubled down. | ||
| They were like, oh, crap. | ||
| Signal Gate, rather. | ||
| Signal Gate didn't work. | ||
| Let's do it again. | ||
| Only we'll say it's his family this time. | ||
| So they came up with this fake scandal about Pete Hegseth texting his family war plans. | ||
| Totally didn't exist and wasn't real. | ||
| But you can see how desperate they're getting. | ||
| Netanyahu has visited three times in the last three months. | ||
| Trying to gin up a war with Iran. | ||
| And at the end of the day, I told you so. | ||
| At the end of the day, your good friend Harrison knew all along Trump was not going to get us into a war with Iran. | ||
| Trump is not going to send American soldiers to fight in Iran. | ||
| He's not going to fall for it. | ||
| And all of the glad-handing he does and all of the saber-rattling he engages in is not his Real heart and soul. | ||
| His real heart and soul is desperately trying to avoid the mass death that inevitably occurs the moment Iran and Israel and America go into conflict. | ||
| So he is upholding his end of the bargain as far as I'm concerned. | ||
| Trump, that is. | ||
| His bargain with the people of the United States and the promises he made on his campaign trail. | ||
| He is sticking to them. | ||
| He is upholding them. | ||
| And he is avoiding being dragged. | ||
| By his neck into war with Iran, and he's now no longer even talking to Benjamin Netanyahu. | ||
| So all this is absolutely fascinating. | ||
| All of these developments are very good, as far as I'm concerned. | ||
| And I hope that we can, as a collective, and you're in this as well, we can all spread awareness about how this is happening. | ||
| What exactly is going on here? | ||
| Because we have to decouple from the influence that Israel exerts. | ||
| But it's hard to do that. | ||
| When you've got folks like Tom Cotton, clip number 26, beating this war drum and really desperate to start another monumentally disastrous war in the Middle East like we haven't made that mistake enough. | ||
| Let's watch Tom Cotton. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Good morning. | ||
| A horrible one-sided deal that should never, ever have been made. | ||
| It didn't bring calm. | ||
| It didn't bring peace. | ||
| And it never will. | ||
| Those words are as true today as they were seven years ago today when President Trump said them, driving a stake through the heart of Barack Obama's disastrous nuclear deal with Iran. | ||
| That deal was one-sided, in bad faith, and did nothing to stop Iran's march to a nuclear weapon. | ||
| In fact, as Prime Minister Netanyahu said, it didn't block Iran's path to a nuclear weapon. | ||
| It paved the path. | ||
| Four years of impotent, inconsistent, and weak foreign policy during the Biden administration also gave Iran a golden opportunity to continue its development of nuclear weapons and to rebuild its economy after President Trump's successful maximum pressure policy during his first term. | ||
| All right, so big surprise. | ||
| Lindsey Graham is pissed that Trump's not going to war with Iran. | ||
| Tom Cotton's doing everything he can to gin up war with Iran. | ||
| And, oh my gosh, coincidence upon coincidence. | ||
| What a shocking... | ||
| Revelations just occurred at clip number 24. They just discovered new nuclear enrichment facilities in Iran. | ||
| This just happened. | ||
| They had no idea. | ||
| And all of a sudden, as soon as Trump cuts off Israel communications and doesn't go to war with Iran, this stuff is discovered? | ||
| What a coincidence! | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
| Fox News exclusive satellite images revealing the location of a previously unknown Iranian nuclear site. | ||
| Now, the facility spans nearly 2,500 acres, and this is a big discovery. | ||
| Jillian Turner has more from the State Department. | ||
| Good morning, Jillian. | ||

Pretty explosive, Dana. | |
| These satellite images that we have obtained exclusively show the alleged site location and even the layout of these secret, previously unknown nuclear weapons facilities inside Iran. | ||
| This, of course, raises fresh concerns about the regime's role in these ongoing nuclear talks with the Trump administration. | ||
| The National Council of Resistance of Iran has collected intelligence from sources on the ground inside Iran that locate this nuclear weapons facility in what is called Semnan province, far from the regime's already known nuclear sites. | ||
| It's codenamed the Rainbow Site by Iran's officials, and it spans nearly 2,500 acres. | ||
| It's been operating as far as we can discern for over a decade. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| We're under the cover of a chemical production company that's called Diba Energy Siba. | ||
| Can we just pause right there? | ||
| Can we just pause right there? | ||

|
you Thank you. | |
| They could try a little harder. | ||
| I mean, really? | ||
| I mean, come on, you guys. | ||
| The Assad chemical attack on his own civilians was more convincing than this, and that was as fake as a $3 bill. | ||
| You're telling me that on the day Trump cuts off communications with Netanyahu and refuses to commit America to a ground war in Iran, they just so happen to discover a 2,500 square mile, Nuclear Enrichment Weapons Manufacturing Facility. | ||
| And they just so happened to not only have discovered this, they also somehow learned it's been in operation for 10 years. | ||
| That's surprising. | ||
| How'd you figure that out? | ||
| Oh yeah, we just found it yesterday and it's been operating for 10 years under the name of a chemical company, DOMA or whatever. | ||
| It's like, well, how'd you figure that out? | ||
| Have you known about it for 10 years? | ||
| And now you're releasing it? | ||
| Can you imagine watching Fox News and believing? | ||
| What they want you to believe happened was that, like, somewhere, you know, in CENTCOM in the Middle East, there's some analysts, like, just going over papers like normal every day and going, wait, wait, what's this? | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| We found another enrichment, and he runs to his superior, and they tap out on the wire, and it goes, and immediately there's some Pentagon person going, like, we've got to get this to the media immediately. | ||
| We've just discovered a nuclear place. | ||
| It's like, stop. | ||
| Stop it. | ||
| This is so stupid. | ||
| Clearly you've known about this place forever. | ||
| Clearly you're just pretending to have just discovered this now. | ||
| Oh, emergency alert, red sirens, look out. | ||
| I mean, come on. | ||
| This is pathetic. | ||
| This is absolutely pathetic. | ||
| So just stop. | ||
| Just stop. | ||
| We're not going to war with Iran. | ||
| We're not fighting Israel's war. | ||
| We're not starting World War III. | ||
| So just stop. | ||
| So just stop. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Thank God for Donald Trump. | ||
| Thank God we don't have Kamala frickin' Harris trying to stand up to Benjamin Netanyahu. | ||
| Imagine how great that would be, right? | ||
| So just stop. | ||
| You can stop at any time. | ||
| And I wish you would. | ||
| Should we go back? | ||
| We can go back for another couple seconds. | ||
| Let's see what Fox News has to say about this breaking news alert. | ||
| Newly discovered nuclear enrichment facility. | ||
| Oh my god, we can see it from space. | ||
| We never saw it before. | ||
| We forgot to check that part of Iran for the last 20 years. | ||
| Our bad, but we did this time and we found it. | ||
| Here it is. | ||
| Let's go back to the video. | ||

SEBA. | |
| The so-called rainbow sites reportedly being used primarily to extract tritrium. | ||
| It is a material that's used to boost nuclear weapons with no real civil or commercial applications, putting paid to Iran's longstanding claim they just want nuclear power for peaceful purposes. | ||
| Wow, so they also found evidence that it's weapons, not civilian energy production. | ||
| Can't believe things just fall into their lap like that. | ||
| I mean, what are the odds? | ||
| What are the odds? | ||
| On the day Trump puts his foot down, says no to war with Iran, they just so happen to find the evidence they've been looking for that not only does Iran have this massive nuclear production facility, but it's the type of nuclear production that can only be used in weaponry. | ||
| I mean, what are the odds? | ||
| What are the odds? | ||
| What a coincidence. | ||
| And it's called the Rainbow Sight. | ||
| I mean, it's like divine intervention. | ||
| It's like the Noahide laws manifest. | ||
| It's like, what are the odds of all of these things happening? | ||
| You want to know the craziest part of everything? | ||
| This would have worked 10 years ago. | ||
| If they'd done this 10 years ago, we'd be going to war with Iran, and most of our fellow Republicans would have been cheering it on. | ||
