| Some of you have already guessed, so this won't surprise you at all. | ||
| But I have the same cancer that Joe Biden has. | ||
| So I also have prostate cancer that has also spread to my bones. | ||
| But I've had it longer than he's had it. | ||
| Well, longer than he's admitted having it. | ||
| So my life expectancy is maybe this summer. | ||
| I expect to be checking out from this domain sometime this summer. | ||
| Well, we got some really sad news today. | ||
| Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, that I've been a fan of for decades, popular podcaster, frequent guest on my show, a guy that's had a lot of political courage over the years to buck the politically correct trend, announced that he has the same type of terminal, same cell line, cancer, prostate cancer, that Joe Biden suddenly got. | ||
| Very, very sad. | ||
| And he went on to point out what oncologists have been saying all over the news, that you don't get this stage 4 cancer overnight. | ||
| It normally takes years and years to develop. | ||
| And clearly, Joe Biden has had this cancer for years. | ||
| And he even said in 2022, Biden did, that he had cancer. | ||
| So the fact that that was kept secret is just a whole other level to the deception. | ||
| But I'll say this. | ||
| Scott Adams has bucked the system on a lot of fronts, but on a place he admits he didn't and that he was upset about, was believing that if you took the experimental COVID shot, the Pfizer, Moderna, that it would protect you and that you couldn't spread it to others because they lied. | ||
| The corporate media and Big Pharma lied. | ||
| Having said as clearly as possible that the anti-vax people seem to be the winners, I want you to hear that clearly. | ||
| The anti-vax people appear to be the winners. | ||
| The anti-vaxxers clearly are the winners at this point, and I think it'll probably stay that way. | ||
| And I don't want to put any shade on that whatsoever. | ||
| They came out the best. | ||
| They have the winning position. | ||
| The unvaccinated have a current advantage. | ||
| Because they feel better. | ||
| The thing they're not worrying about is what I have to worry about, which is, I wonder if that vaccination five years from now... | ||
| Because really, the anti-vaxxers, I think, were really just distrustful of big companies and big government. | ||
| That's never wrong. | ||
| It's never wrong to distrust government. | ||
| It's never wrong to distrust big companies, right? | ||
| So if you just took the position, let's just distrust everything the government did, well, you won. | ||
| You won. | ||
| Of course, now we know it's directly linked in hundreds of studies to turbo cancers, infertility, blood cuts. | ||
| Strokes, myocarditis, the list goes on and on. | ||
| And so is Scott Adams another casualty of this frankenshot? | ||
| Well, we know, according to insurance actuaries, an additional 30 million people die in the numbers, excess of what would have died in the trends since the rollout of these shots. | ||
| And now there's New England Medical Journal studies and over and over again, massive increases in miscarriages, over 80% the first true. | ||
| First two trimesters. | ||
| It's just wild. | ||
| But as I said five years ago when this all started, this is premeditated. | ||
| The FDA in October 2020 put out a fact sheet of what they were predicting would be adverse reactions, and it's exactly everything that actually happened. | ||
| So, ladies and gentlemen, this was all about depopulation. | ||
| It was all about creating turbo cancer, so Pfizer and others would have a whole new expanded business model, just like they put the fluoride in the water in the late 40s, knowing exactly what it would do, and people knew back then, and now the FDA admits it lowers IQ and causes cancer and fertility. | ||
| This is all part of a soft-kill operation. | ||
| That's why it's so good to have RFK Jr. in there, moving to get the fluoride out, the poison food dyes, taking away liability protection by not making... | ||
| The mRNA shots recommended for children and pregnant women. | ||
| If it's not recommended, it doesn't kick in the liability protection. | ||
| And the companies have said they won't even offer the shots if they're not given that protection because they know exactly what they're doing. | ||
| So that's really the silver lining to all of this. | ||
| But there's another really important point that I am glad Zero Hedge picked up on. | ||
| Over the weekend, especially Sunday Night Show, I made a huge deal out of the fact. | ||
| That they flipped the script. | ||
| Script flipped. | ||
| Shock cancer diagnosis. | ||
| White's Biden auto pin. | ||
| Presidency from the headlines. | ||

|
White's Biden auto pin. | |
| It's Tuesday, May 20th in the year of our Lord, 2025. | ||
| And you're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
| Watch it live right now at band.video. | ||
| Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Welcome to The American Journal. | ||
| I'm your host, Harrison Smith, coming to you live this Tuesday morning. | ||
| I got, there's just more news. | ||
| I don't know what happened. | ||
| I don't know what happened over the last 24 hours. | ||
| But good lord, I got just insane amounts of news. | ||
| Insane, desperate amounts of news to get to here. | ||
| I got videos coming out the wazoo. | ||
| We got follow-ups to Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis. | ||
| James Comey's giving an interview that is kind of hilarious. | ||
| We've got tons of stuff about Israel. | ||
| None of it good. | ||
| Cell phone outages in Spain. | ||
| Warnings about sunspots wiping out all electronics on Earth from places like NASA and elsewhere. | ||
| I mean, it really just goes on and on. | ||
| Everything that we have to cover. | ||
| And then my dad sends me a video about Tartaria, and now that's all I want to talk about. | ||
| Now I just want to talk about Tartaria and what a psyop it is. | ||
| What a ridiculous... | ||
| Set of claims it represents and how it's distracting people from real history. | ||
| A very sophisticated psychological operation to distract curious and thoughtful people away from reality, away from actually looking at historical forces moving and shaping the world around us into some fantasy world of mud floods and churches being Power generators. | ||
| We just don't have time. | ||
| I just don't have time to get into it. | ||
| But it's a trick. | ||
| Don't fall for it. | ||
| You can leave it at that if you want. | ||
| I just gotta say. | ||
| Quickly, I gotta say. | ||
| Tartaria is bullcrap. | ||
| It's a lie. | ||
| It's there to cover up the real historical forces at play. | ||
| For... | ||
| Very simple and easy to discern reasons. | ||
| Essentially, the theory of Tartaria is there was this old world and then sometime around the turn of the century, coincidentally coinciding with World War I, for example, everything changed. | ||
| And it's like, yeah, everything changed in World War I. Yes, the world before World War I and the world after are two different worlds. | ||
| It's not because... | ||
| A secret empire was covered up and every history book was changed. | ||
| It's because the world that was created essentially by Europeans for the several centuries before the 1900s was shattered and destroyed and generations of men murdered and killed and a gigantic war created in order to not just... | ||
| Kill all of those people, but destroy the systems of the old world, destroy the monarchies of the old world. | ||
| After all, before World War I, you had several different monarchies in Europe that were extremely powerful. | ||
| The Russian one, the German one. | ||
| France had gone away a while ago, but by the end of World War I, pretty much only the UK remained as a powerful monarchy. | ||
| And yes, during the war effort, massive amounts of natural resources were destroyed. | ||
| Not natural, but inherited genius was eradicated. | ||
| The previous construct of the world as being one guided, especially in America, by these small groups of people just going out, conquering the frontier. | ||
| It was completely changed and forcibly... | ||
| You know, altered its trajectory sort of along the lines of Henry Ford in the assembly line, where instead of having master craftsmen creating things with their hands, you had people as bugs, people as robots just standing in line mindlessly forming things together. | ||
| So yes, the world absolutely changed dramatically right around the time of World War I on purpose to become something much less glorious, much less human, much less uplifting. | ||
| And it's no coincidence that like 1913, you've got the Federal Reserve being created and the income tax being created and the Rockefeller Foundation being created and the assembly line being invented and the ADL being created and the first Aliyah to Israel happening. | ||
| Like all of these things happened in one year and they signify a monumental shift in human consciousness, not because Tartaria fell down and the mud flood happened, but because... | ||
| Human nature was hijacked and warped and perverted and the world as we know it was destroyed and we're living in the dystopian remnants of a much greater civilization. | ||
| So it's not Tartaria, it's just history. | ||
| It's just normal, everyday, run-of-the-mill history. | ||
| So I guess people haven't heard it, so they need to come up with some sort of bizarre flat earth conspiracy to come up with it. | ||
| So anyway, now we'll move on. | ||
| I'm glad I got that out of my system. | ||
| Now we'll move on. | ||
| Tartaria is fake and false and a distraction from looking at the real political and societal and demographic changes that occurred forcibly right around World War I. So you can look at real history and what was actually going on. | ||
| You don't have to... | ||
| Walk around filming Capitol buildings and go, look at the size of that rock! | ||
| What? | ||
| Like, come on, guys. | ||
| We can pick up big rocks. | ||
| We can stack big rocks on one another. | ||
| I believe in humanity. | ||
| I believe humanity has the capability to put big stones on top of other big stones. | ||
| This is not a conspiracy. | ||
| It does not require hidden technology. | ||
| Pick up the stone, you put it on the other stone. | ||
| Problem solved. | ||
| Okay, moving on. | ||
| We're moving on now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But wait. | |
| What about the free energy that they discovered and that their tower is harnessed? | ||
| Well, okay, that's true. | ||
| All right, well, there is that. | ||
| Okay, you got me there. | ||
| You got me there. | ||
| Here's what I'll say about that. | ||
| People point to things like St. Elmo's Fire showing that basically the air around, there's little like, I don't know how to describe it, but it looks like miniaturized aurora borealis that will appear at like the top of steeples and things, but those also appear. | ||
| At the top of ship mass, it has something to do with maybe it is the ether. | ||
| I think if you want to talk about Tesla creating free wireless energy in a project that was founded by J.P. Morgan, who realized that the entire scheme that they were setting up, using oil as a scarce commodity that could be used to control people, that was a threat to that entire system. | ||
| So that was buried. | ||
| Yeah, I believe in that. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| But St. Elmo's fire or things like that aren't necessarily evidence of You know, churches generating energy somehow. | ||
| It's just the world is magical, and sometimes magic things happen like that. | ||
| Sometimes magic things happen. | ||
|
unidentified
|
My favorite comment, you know what I mean, is, you know, when people say, well, why? | |
| Why would people hide something like that? | ||
| And, you know, the obvious reply from the Tartarians, Tartarians is, you know... | ||
| Retardians, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The control. | |
| They need the control. | ||
| They've got the control over you with the oil. | ||
| Even if it's super expensive to spend all the money, we've got them with the oil under our control. | ||
| This is the frustrating part about Tartaria. | ||
| I mean, that is true, right? | ||
| It is true that they will crush inventions of free energy because the entire world is set up on this predicate of oil, of the oil trade, I mean, the control systems. | ||
| Are very real and they rely on enforced scarcity of certain commodities. | ||
| So that is true. | ||
| And then they take that instead of just looking at it in a practical, reasonable way of just like, yeah, there's bad people that would rather you suffer and would rather you be kept away from this invention that would improve your life significantly because they can't make money with it. | ||
| Like, yeah, that's what happens. | ||
| It's not that the Mongols actually invented. | ||
| Free wireless energy and they were all, you know, zooting around on jetpacks before the mud floods. | ||
| Like, that's the distraction. | ||
| That's the part where they take a real inclination and real questions people have. | ||
| Gee, could there be free energy and would they be incentivized to shut it down and keep it from us just to keep their power? | ||
| And it's like you start going down that road and you can actually find evidence and actual tangible things you can do at this moment to, you know, fight back against it. | ||
| Instead, they lead you down the false rabbit hole. | ||
| It's like you've got a bunch of conniving diggers creating fake rabbit holes for people to go down. | ||
| There's no rabbit at the bottom. | ||
| You're not following the white rabbit. | ||
| You're following an obese man in a rabbit suit beckoning you along. | ||
| So chase the real white rabbit, which is human nature and massive geopolitical shifts. | ||
| For ulterior motives, hidden clandestine aims being sought, covered up by the officially accepted narrative of things like World War I. Follow that rabbit trail. | ||
| Follow the rabbit trail of humanity under attack basically for the last century and a half or more by other humans who see widespread education and Intelligence and strength as a threat to their imposition of power. | ||
| Don't follow the rabbit hole down anywhere else. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So whereas I do believe that there are concepts that are unknown to the wider population and maybe humanity itself, I don't know if free energy has been discovered. | |
| And I've got one reason that I point at this. | ||
| Let's say... | ||
| That free energy was discovered and top scientists at DARPA knew about it, but they wanted to shut it down for the rest of, you know, humanity. | ||
| During the Manhattan Project, it was revealed that basically outside of Las Vegas at the, I don't know if it was Los Alamos, it's Area 51 essentially, but which exact lab it was, they had a power draw that was equivalent. | ||
| To the city of Las Vegas. | ||
| They were using so much energy. | ||
| And the issue is that no reporter even knew to ask these questions or to look there. | ||
| And so it went largely unnoticed. | ||
| But what I'm getting at is that if the government and the people who are the top scientists working on black projects, if they really had the ability to create that free energy right now with fission or fusion or some type of... | ||
| Nuclear, why wouldn't they set up systems for themselves to where they don't have to worry about, you know, that power draw, right? | ||
| Using all of that energy that could be discovered by reporters or people who are looking into those things, energy consumption, why not set up their own independent system that would then make it totally... | ||
| It would just be a bigger... | ||
| It'd be a bigger risk. | ||
| I mean, again, we really do have too much news to get into. | ||
| I really don't want to get into this. | ||
| But I will say that called Low Energy Nuclear... | ||
| What is it called? | ||
| L-E-N-R, I think it's called. | ||
| There's actually a bunch of these things coming out. | ||
| And it is true. | ||
| It's undeniable. | ||
| I mean, unless you... | ||
| It's weird. | ||
| There are people that both believe there's free energy... | ||
| You know, everywhere and you can access the ether and basically draw energy from the earth ad nauseum. | ||
| But at the same time, they think that, like, nuclear weapons aren't real. | ||
| But nuclear weapons are the thing they're describing, right? | ||
| People are like, you really think there's energy just that we can just grab from the air an infinite amount? | ||
| And it's like, well, if a single hydrogen atom can blow up a city and I have a glass of water full of billions upon billions of hydrogen atoms, that's a hell of a lot of energy in a glass of water. | ||
| So, yeah, energy exists. | ||
| Sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, I mean, I would agree that there is an incentive not to develop, you know what I mean? | |
| Things that are like, you know, let's say there's a perpetual motion device that does work or something that does generate limitless energy, right? | ||
| I would say that there is... | ||
| An incentive not to develop that for the reason of control over manufactured scarcity or scarcity in the oil market. | ||
| To me, it just seems like it would be a lot less headache if we didn't have to involve the country and America in foreign wars and all the gross entanglements that come with that to secure that energy. | ||
| But the people making those decisions aren't the ones going to war, right? | ||
| For the JP Morgans of the world, having free energy. | ||
| It wouldn't even be a bonus. | ||
| They have infinite energy because they have infinite money and they control the commodity. | ||
| So they'll always have energy and they have an infinite amount. | ||
| And they're not the ones going to war overseas to fight for it, right? | ||
| So it doesn't actually bother them. | ||
| They wouldn't have an excuse then to send other people to die overseas. | ||
| So they want to persist in that. | ||
| So again, and actually we're going to... | ||
| I'm going to start covering this more. | ||
| That's my next... | ||
| That's my next topic after private equity. | ||
| We will, of course, by the way, be joined by Tiffany Cianci today to talk more about the private equity. | ||
| Similar lines of the Ian Carroll conversation we had yesterday. | ||
| We're going to talk to Tiffany Cianci about that. | ||
| As soon as we're done taking down private equity and stopping the cannibalizing of our country, I think I'll get a little bit more into not the theories about Tesla and free energy, but rather Actual products that are going to be on the market in the next couple years that promise not free energy but massively cheap energy and basically continuous energy production by low nuclear energy reserves. | ||
| So we'll get into that. | ||
| Let's actually get into the news today. | ||
| Here it is, your daily dispatch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
*BEEP* | |
| All right, here it is, folks, your daily dispatch for Tuesday, the 20th of May, 2025. | ||
| World leaders urge Israel to stop its deadly military offensive in Gaza. | ||
| World leaders are urging Israel to stop military operations in Gaza, stating that civilians are suffering significantly. | ||
| On May 7th, over 100 lives were lost due to Israeli attacks, as reported by health authorities in Gaza. | ||
| China's envoy Fu Kong emphasized the need for humanitarian aid in a ceasefire during a UN Security Council briefing. | ||
| European leaders warned that over 50,000 people We're going to get more into this later because I don't know if I need to tell you this. | ||
| They're not listening. | ||
| Israel's not listening. | ||
| You can urge them all you want. | ||
| Urge away. | ||
| They don't care. | ||
| And in fact, we have quotes from... | ||
| The likes of Benjamin Netanyahu basically said, no one's going to stop us. | ||
| No one's going to stop us. | ||
| So we're just going to do it. | ||
| Whine all you want. | ||
| Complain all you want. | ||
| If you don't physically prevent them from doing it, they're doing it. | ||
| So Europe can expect another massive delivery of refugees that apparently are too dangerous to be allowed to live anywhere near Israel, but will be perfectly comfortable in your backyard. | ||
| So thanks, Israel. | ||
| Greatest allies, huh? | ||
| Again, we're going to get into that. | ||
| They're basically saying they're going to completely take over Gaza. | ||
| But they forgot that they're trying to do this with the Israeli military. | ||
| And the Israeli military is full of cowards. | ||
| So they're actually not going for their reserve. | ||
| They called up like thousands of reservists. | ||
| And they just aren't coming. | ||
| Because they're just like, I don't want to go die in Gaza. | ||
| That's absurd. | ||
| So I don't know what they're going to do at this point. | ||
| It's going to be bad for everybody, regardless of what it is. | ||
| We'll get back into that later. | ||
| Meanwhile, NASA warns of potential blackouts across Earth due to solar flares erupting on the sun. | ||
| NASA detected... | ||
| A strong X2.7-class solar flare originating from sunspot AR-4087, which was facing Earth and caused disruptions to high-frequency radio communications throughout parts of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. | ||
| The event occurred during the sun's solar maximum, its peak phase of its 11-year cycle, with multiple active sunspot regions increasing the likelihood of further eruptions. | ||
| The flare disrupted high-frequency radio signals for about 10 minutes, with NOAA and NASA warning of possible impacts on power grids, navigation, and space. | ||
| NOAA predicts a 65% likelihood of further M-class solar flares and a 30% probability of new X-class eruptions in the near future, while experts note rising activity as Sunspot AR-4087 moves into a position more directly facing Earth. | ||
| These conditions suggest ongoing solar activity could cause further communication blackouts and geomagnetic storms, prompting agencies to increase monitoring and alert system operators. | ||
| And, you know, obviously we have to worry about this because, well, we've spent trillions upon trillions of dollars babysitting third worlders instead of doing things like hardening our electrical grid. | ||
| Our infrastructure is utterly, you know, incapable of dealing with even the strain that we're putting on it, let alone the, you know, radiological disruptions of solar flares. | ||
| Something we probably could have protected ourselves against if we had our priorities straight. | ||
| I also am just seeing a lot of stuff like this that makes me think that something big is coming. | ||
| Just a reminder, in the information war, in the not even information war, the global war that's occurring right now, the worldwide civil war that we're all engaged in, whether we acknowledge it or not, is that the bad guys have like an infinite number. | ||
| Of cards in their deck that they can deploy at a moment's notice. | ||
| Don't forget early 2020, late 2019, when everybody was talking about, you know, Trump had just gotten through the impeachment and we were excited about that and the campaign was starting up and we were excited about that when all of a sudden... | ||
| Like a record scratch, they dropped COVID-19 by releasing a virus they created in a lab. | ||
| They could easily do that exact thing again because the people that did it the first time still haven't been punished and are in fact still engaged in the exact same behavior they were in 2019. | ||
| But they could also do something like knock out the electrical grid all of the sudden. | ||
| And wouldn't that just throw a stick into the spokes of the America First agenda that Trump is pursuing? | ||
| So just don't forget, the people that we're fighting against are diabolical beyond description, capable of just unimaginable acts of evil and being pushed up against the wall. | ||
| So we're in an increasingly dangerous situation here. | ||
| And I don't blame the sun necessarily. | ||
| Meanwhile, Supreme Court allows Trump to revoke protected status for thousands of Venezuelans. | ||
| On Monday, the US Supreme Court permitted the Trump administration to end temporary protected status for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan nationals, which could lead to their removal from the country. | ||
| Yeah, I think this was the right decision. | ||
| I think the key word to note here is temporary. | ||
| Yes, the Supreme Court is allowing Trump to end the temporary protected status. | ||
| And only Kenji Brown Jackson was the only Supreme Court justice to argue against this, saying actually when they said temporary protected status, that was a plot to invade America with an overwhelming number of immigrants, so many that would be impossible to remove them if you had to adhere to the legal process. | ||
| And so she wants that program to continue. | ||
| Despite it being obviously treasonous and a just blatant attack on America. | ||
| So good for Supreme Court for recognizing and, you know, codifying the definition of temporary. | ||
| Thank you, guys. | ||
| Well done. | ||
| Meanwhile, federal charges filed against Congresswoman following an incident at an ICE facility. | ||
| New Jersey's interim U.S. Attorney Alina Haba filed federal charges, assault charges on Monday against Representative LaMonica. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| Sorry, that's not a funny name. | ||
| That's a very normal name. | ||
| Representative LaMonica McIvor following an incident at Delaney Hall, an ICE detention center. | ||
| We'll get into this on the other side because there's some similarities. | ||
| There's a few similarities between this and what we saw from old James Comey, old Jimmy boy. | ||
| Tall Jimmy, I call him. | ||
| He's talking about, oh, there's this political firestorm because I took a walk on the beach with my wife. | ||
| Just like you have politicians saying, they arrested this congresswoman for providing oversight? | ||
| And it's like, yeah, if you leave out the thing that you did, it sounds absurd. | ||
| Like Ted Bundy, they arrested me for taking a woman on a date? | ||
| Well, it wasn't the date, it was the murder and dismemberment that they really got you on. | ||
| So James Comey, it wasn't the walk on the beach, it was the coded message to assassinate Trump. | ||
| That did you in. | ||
| Just like it wasn't providing oversight that this congresswoman was charged for, it was assaulting the officers that were trying to prevent her from trespassing and interfering with official federal business. | ||
| So we'll get into that more on the other side of this break. | ||
| Meanwhile, and finally, after call, Trump gives Putin more time for Ukraine war. | ||
| That's right, folks. | ||
| The way the Washington Post is describing this phone call between Putin and Trump. | ||
| Where they both, you know, set down some guidelines and plotted a path towards peace is that Trump is giving Putin more time for the Ukraine war. | ||
| We'll again show you clips from Zelensky to show you who it is that wants this war to be prolonged and it ain't Putin or Trump. | ||
| Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Welcome back. | ||
| This is the American Journal coming to you live from the heart of Tartaria. | ||
| Tartaria is white people. | ||
| That's the final word on it. | ||
| If you're wondering what empire got overthrown right around the time of World War I, might I suggest white people. | ||
| Alright, we're moving on. | ||
| We're moving on. | ||
| Even though I know our audience loves it, slash hates it when I talk about that stuff, we have to move on because there's so much news to cover. | ||
| And yeah, let's start with old Long Jimmy. | ||
| What did I call him? | ||
| Tall Jimmy? | ||
| James Comey. | ||
| James Comey is trying to gaslight Americans in a really poor attempt. | ||
| I mean, it really is. | ||
| It's not working. | ||
| It's not going to work. | ||
| I guess maybe, maybe for the very low information American who just has absolutely no idea what's going on, this would fit. | ||
| And I do want to sort of Imagine the world that they live in. | ||
| Imagine what it would be like to give credence to the idea that James Comey is being politically persecuted or somehow unfairly maligned for innocently posting a set of numbers that he didn't know anything about. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| What? | ||
| 86 as an address? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Like, imagine living in a world. | ||
| Where you believe what James Comey says. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm sorry, officer. | |
| I didn't know that speeding was against the law. | ||
| When has it ever been like you don't know the law and so therefore, oh, you're good. | ||
| I'll tell you. | ||
| I'll tell you when that was established. | ||
| It was when James Comey closed the Hillary Clinton investigation, got up in front of America and said that exact thing. | ||
| Literally said, did she break the law? | ||
| Yes, she did. | ||
| But we don't believe that she meant to. | ||
| We don't believe that there was motive to break the law, so therefore, we're not going to try it. | ||
| So, funny that you bring that up, because yes, that's literally, if you want to point to a time in American history where that apparently has been a valid excuse, all you have to look at is James Comey's handling of Hillary Clinton's email server. | ||
| So apparently that is the rule he thinks he operates under. | ||
| He went on... | ||
| TV yesterday to discuss the firestorm that he created by publishing a thinly-veiled, coded encouragement to kill Trump, 86-47. | ||
| Let's go to clip number 15 first. | ||
| I'll show you the longer context in a second, but I think this encapsulates it. | ||
| Imagine the mindset that believes James Comey when he says this. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You are back in the middle of a political firestorm. | |
| Yeah, for walking on the beach with my wife. | ||
| So, I don't know how we ended up here. | ||
| It never occurred to me that it was any kind of controversial thing, but that's the time we live in. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| James Comey was walking on the beach with his wife, and that alone caused fury throughout the entire MAGAverse. | ||
| Yeah, he was arrested. | ||
| I mean, can you imagine? | ||
| And it would, I mean, the world that they live in, the fantastical, illusionary world of lies that these people operate, sounds terrifying. | ||
| I mean, imagine, you're walking down the beach with your wife, romantic evening on Emerald Island in North Carolina, watching the sunset. | ||
| Feeling the sand between your toes and suddenly you're being picked up by Secret Service and they're hauling you away for questioning in Washington, D.C. I mean, yeah, if that was the thing that happened, that would be pretty crazy. | ||
| Yeah, that's not even remotely close to what happened, but that's the way he's characterizing it. | ||
| For a walk on the beach with my wife, suddenly there's this political firestorm. | ||
| Well, you're missing a key component here. | ||
| And this is one of those things that you just see over and over and over again. | ||
| And it's like, how does... | ||
| This only works because people are dishonest. | ||
| Like, the people hearing the lies are also dishonest and just want something to sort of run with because they know that the truth goes against them. | ||
| If you understand what I mean. | ||
| In other words, like, yeah. | ||
| If they acknowledged the fact that the former FBI director published what is recognized by everybody to be a coded threat to assassinate Trump, they would have to denounce Comey. | ||
| They would have to acknowledge that there is this radical mood in people in positions of power that is extremely dangerous and troubling and needs to be eradicated for us to continue our... | ||
| Existence as a nation. | ||
| So they just need something to sort of get it off their own conscience. | ||
| Wow, he was walking on the beach with his wife and suddenly he's being picked up. | ||
| He had no idea what that meant. | ||
| He thought he was just posting an innocent picture of a couple of numbers for no particular reason. | ||
| And it's like, okay, you're pretending to be stupid. | ||
| We got a lot of people out there pretending to be stupid and they know exactly what's going on. | ||
| And we have the other story today. | ||
| Federal charges filed against Congresswoman because she was providing oversight at ICE. | ||
| Like, no, the providing oversight wasn't the issue. | ||
| It was the physically attacking federal agents that she's been charged for. | ||
| But if you leave out that part of the story, then it seems crazy. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| James Comey walks on the beach with his wife, ends up in custody from the Secret Service. | ||
| That's a crazy series of events if you leave out the death threat in the middle. | ||
| If you leave out the fact that the Congresswoman attacked federal agents, physically punching federal agents, then yeah, it seems absurd that a Congresswoman would be arrested for providing oversight. | ||
| You leave out the pertinent point, and the timeline doesn't make any sense. | ||
| Duh. | ||
| Duh, right? | ||
| Same thing that I've talked about all the time with Israel. | ||
| There'll be another big topic of today's story, where it's like, October 7th, rise in anti-Semitism. | ||
| What's happening? | ||
| How is there a rise in anti-Semitism after they get attacked? | ||
| Well, you left out the genocide, the intermittent genocide there. | ||
| You leave that crucial aspect of the timeline out, and gee, yeah, it doesn't make any sense anymore. | ||
| What do you know? | ||
| What do you know, Jimmy? | ||
| You leave out the part where you threaten to assassinate Trump. | ||
| This story doesn't make any sense. | ||
| Let's go to clip number 14 here. | ||
| A little bit of a longer context where he explains his thought process as he's walking down the beach with his wife. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| See if you believe this. | ||

|
You are back in the middle of a political firestorm. | |
| Yeah, for walking on the beach with my wife. | ||
| So I don't know how we ended up here. | ||
| Never occurred to me that it was any kind of controversial thing, but that's the time we live in. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So take me back to the walk on the beach. | |
| We were walking on the beach. | ||
| We went to the beach to prepare for this week, which was the launch of my book. | ||
| And to think about the book and to prepare to answer questions about it. | ||
| And we were walking back towards the road and we saw in the sand someone had arranged shells with numbers. | ||
| And Patrice, my wife, said, why would someone put an address in the sand? | ||
| And I said, I don't know. | ||
| And we stood over it, and I said, you know, I think it's some kind of political message. | ||
| And she said, you know, 86, when I was a server, she did a lot of working in restaurants, meant to remove an item from the menu when you ran out of ingredients. | ||
| And I said, well, to me, as a kid, it always meant to leave a place, to ditch a place. | ||
| I said, that's really clever. | ||
| So then she said, you should take a picture of that. | ||
| And I did. | ||
| And I posted it on my Instagram account. | ||
| And thought nothing more of it until I heard through her that people were saying it was some sort of a call for assassination, which is crazy. | ||
| But I took it down. | ||
| Even if I think it's crazy, I don't want to be associated with violence of any kind. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I hate to see guys always getting 86'd, she said, using military jargon for killed in action. | ||
| Not fair. | ||
| No, no, James Comey's wife is just... | ||
| She's like a poor server. | ||
| She's just like a regular. | ||
| She's like, you know, when I would... | ||
| I mean, it's just none of this. | ||
| This is the worst story. | ||
| This is the worst story I've ever heard. | ||
| I mean, just the way he said that. | ||
| And the way it contradicts what he said when he first got called out for this. | ||
| He was like, I thought it was a political message of some sort. | ||
| Okay, but the story you just told means that you thought 86 means just like nix or get rid of. | ||
| And then 47... | ||
| President of the United States. | ||
| So it's not just like some sort of vague political message I think it might have. | ||
| You should have said like, oh, I thought 86 was like waiter slang for getting things off the menu. | ||
| I don't think I actually want to give James Comey the credence of taking apart his ridiculous lies. | ||
| I don't think he deserves that, actually. | ||
| I think we can just say that didn't work, Jimmy. | ||
| That was not a good lie. | ||
| You should have worked a little longer on that one. | ||
| Funny that he is releasing a book. | ||
| I mean, these people, man, it's just like, you know, we want to do a walk on the beach so I could get my mind space for the book release. | ||
| It's a really big deal. | ||
| So, okay, so you're just trying to sell books? | ||
| Is that what it is? | ||
| I mean, even, can you imagine? | ||
| Imagine for yourself, you're walking on the beach, you got this big book release coming up, you're all nervous about it. | ||
| And you see numbers of seashells in the sand. | ||
| Who would even stop to look at that? | ||
| Every time you go to the beach, there are things people left behind. | ||
| There are little sandcastles people built or whatever. | ||
| You would never even look twice at it. | ||
| You would never even think about what the numbers mean if you didn't immediately recognize them. | ||
| It's just an absurd story on the face of it. | ||
| And we still haven't had an adequate explanation for the... | ||
| Unbelievable and indeed impossible coincidence of the fact that that post was 8,647 days after September 11, 2001. | ||
| That coincidence still hasn't been explained whatsoever even in a flailing attempt like the one we just saw. | ||
| So yeah, I guess if you leave out the assassination attempt, it's totally ridiculous what happened to James Comey. | ||
| But he did Do that assassination attempt encouragement. | ||
| So I think he thought he was being clever and thought he'd get away with it. | ||
| Or maybe it was just publicity for his new book. | ||
| Maybe this really was a signal from the deep state to Trump. | ||
| But regardless, I don't know why James Comey is out right now. | ||
| I don't know why he's out right now. | ||
| Just most ridiculous liar. | ||
| And there's nothing you love more than the former director of the FBI being like, Violence? | ||
| I would never. | ||
| You were in charge of the FBI, but you're scared of violence. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right. | ||
| The FBI, whose sole intent and purpose is to practice violence upon criminals, but that's just not you, though. | ||
| Not for you. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Okay, James. | ||
| Okay, sure. | ||
| It's like the scene from The Godfather when Michael's wife, I'm blanking on her name, like, senators and presidents don't have people killed, Michael. | ||
| Now who's being naive? | ||
| Now who's being naive? | ||
| Me? | ||
| Violence? | ||
| Why? | ||
| I'm just the director of the FBI. | ||
| I would never. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Okay, guy. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Alright, so we can just understand, like, I guess that works on people. | ||
| I guess they think that this is going to convince people, which it's not. | ||
| What it is is that leftists want Trump dead. | ||
| They like that James Comey is posting assassination threats. | ||
| And they embrace the sort of just blatant lie of him not knowing what it is. | ||
| And it was totally innocent because they feel like it's like a clever way to get away with calling for Trump's assassination. | ||
| It's just... | ||
| Dishonesty at its base. | ||
| It's not all complicated at all. | ||
| Not even a little bit. | ||
| But we'll move on. | ||
| We'll move on to what has happened ever since James Comey failed in his multiple attempts to rig elections against Donald Trump. | ||
| Donald Trump did in fact become president and we are seeing massive pushes for peace across the board. | ||
| Let's go to clip number 16 here. | ||
| This is President Trump. | ||
| After spending two and a half hours talking to Vladimir Putin on the phone yesterday, he went out and gave this address. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
| I want to thank everybody. | ||
| We just spent two and a half hours talking to Vladimir Putin. | ||
| And I think some progress has been made. | ||
| It's a terrible situation going on over there. | ||
| 5,000 young people every single week are being killed. | ||
| So hopefully we did something. | ||
| We also spoke to the heads of... | ||
| Most of the European nations. | ||
| And we're trying to get that whole thing wrapped up. | ||
| What a shame that it ever started in the first place. | ||
| But I want to thank Melani for your leadership in this very important issue. | ||
| It's an amazing issue. | ||
| America is blessed to have such a dedicated and compassionate First Lady. | ||
| I would tell you, she is very dedicated. | ||
| In fact, if you look at just what I heard, Putin just said they respect your wife a lot. | ||
| I said, what about me? | ||
| No, they will. | ||
| They like Melania better. | ||
| That wasn't good. | ||
| I don't know if that was good. | ||
| I'm okay with it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm okay. | |
| Very good stuff. | ||
| And that was during a presentation for a new law being passed to stop so-called revenge porn. | ||
| In other words, posting intimate images without people's permission that Melania has helped to spearhead. | ||
| But that's Trump again helping to perpetuate peace. | ||
| And actually trying to bring an end to this devastating, horrific, expensive, and pointless war. | ||
| Of course, the way the Washington Post characterizes this is, after call, Trump gives Putin more time for Ukraine war. | ||
| Trump gives Putin more time for the Ukraine war. | ||
| It's another one of these little building blocks of dishonesty. | ||
| These little, you know, each... | ||
| Each one of these lies, each one of these very carefully phrased headlines is like another stroke of the paintbrush, painting the portrait of Trump as this Putin-loving, dictator, | ||
| money-obsessed psychopath, which again, as we've explained over and over again, it makes it like impossible to actually Tell people the truth about Trump and get them to acknowledge it or recognize it. | ||
| You know, there was a clip of Tim Poole talking to guy Adam Ruins Everything. | ||
| Guy, he's this leftist that just embarrasses himself horrifically every time he goes on podcasts. | ||
| He basically destroyed all of his credibility when he went on Joe Rogan. | ||
| Joe Rogan was just asking really simple questions about transgenderism, and the dude just had never thought about it before. | ||
| He's like, really passionate. | ||
| He's like, of course transgenderism, of course it has to happen. | ||
| Joe Brogan's like, well, but if the people are already, if the boy is actually a girl, why do you need to change his body if it doesn't matter? | ||
| And I'm just like, what? | ||
| I don't think, and he pretends to not understand. | ||
| He's like, I don't think I understand the question you're asking. | ||
| And it's like, no, you've just never thought about this at all. | ||
| You've never given this any sort of critical analysis. | ||
| That a child would give. | ||
| So now that you're being confronted with somebody who doesn't agree with you, you are completely blindsided by their arguments. | ||
| It's very embarrassing. | ||
| He went on with Tim Pool, and Tim Pool referenced the very fine people on both sides quote. | ||
| And of course, the Adam guy knows the quote that he's talking about. | ||
| He's like, yeah, he said the Nazis were fine people. | ||
| Tim Pool starts freaking out, and he's just like, you freaking liberals! | ||
| He's like, they never said it. | ||
| It's been 10 years, and you still believe this lie. | ||
| And I'm just like, well, I don't know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| And it's like, it doesn't matter. | ||
| It's like their view of Trump is built with all these building blocks, the very fine people hoax. | ||
| Oh, he's giving, he's a Russian puppet. | ||
| He calls for violence. | ||
| Like every one of these instances, every day, there's like 10 headlines that help to build this facade. | ||
| And even if you go through and systematically remove each brick piece by piece, you go, here's the full context of the very fine people hoax. | ||
| See, he didn't say that, so let's remove that brick. | ||
| It, like, doesn't matter. | ||
| The structure is still there. | ||
| The facade is still there. | ||
| You could strap him down, Clockwork Orange style, and force him to watch everything he believes about Trump being disproven one by one, piece by piece. | ||
| At the end of it, his opinion will not have changed in the slightest. | ||
| He will still have just the... | ||
| The feeling that Trump is evil, the feeling that Trump is a Russian puppet, the feeling that Trump is a dictator, that's what's been seeded into his subconscious, and it cannot be extricated no matter how many factual inconsistencies the whole thing is built on. | ||
| This is just the liberal mind. | ||
| There's not much we can do about it except for call out all of these instances every time they come. | ||
| So this utterly dishonest framing of the... | ||
| Conflict with Ukraine. | ||
| After call, Trump gives Putin more time for Ukraine war. | ||
| Putin and Trump are trying to end the Ukraine war. | ||
| You know who's trying to continue it? | ||
| Zelensky. | ||
| Let's go to clip number 24 here. | ||
| This is Zelensky talking about what his goals or his demands for any sort of ceasefire agreement would be. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
| Does no one will withdraw our troops from our territories? | ||
| It is my constitutional duty. | ||
| It is the duty of our military to protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. | ||
| Yes, there are currently temporarily occupied territories due to the aggression of such a large country. | ||
| But they're not removing troops. | ||
| They're not giving up these contested areas, despite the fact that... | ||
| They voted to become Russian. | ||
| They wanted to become Russian in the first place, which is why Ukraine started attacking them all the way back in 2014. | ||
| The actual ignition of this entire conflict. | ||
| If anybody is prolonging the Ukraine war, it's that guy. | ||
| It's Zelensky. | ||
| So, again, this is the cognitive dissidence of the left. | ||
| They'll write articles about how Trump is letting Putin prolong the war while Zelensky is simultaneously giving speeches saying, we are never going to stop this war. | ||
| We're just going to continue. | ||
| To pour human souls into the meat grinder for as long as I maintain my illegal occupation of the presidential office in Ukraine. | ||
| It's just absurd. | ||
| After a phone call in which President Donald Trump did not require Russia to stop attacking Ukraine as a condition for peace negotiations, the Kremlin predicted Tuesday that the process will be long and difficult, suggesting Moscow will keep fighting until Kiev accepts its terms. | ||
| Despite Trump's exhortions for months that the fighting must stop immediately, in the course of Monday's phone call, Russian President Vladimir Putin managed to add a new delaying element to the process, the need for each side to draft a memorandum on the terms of a future peace treaty. | ||
| So literally, these people don't want a peace treaty. | ||
| People writing this article want the war to continue, but here they are saying that the steps being taken, the concrete movement towards a peace treaty, setting in writing, okay, what are the terms that we need to meet in order to get this process going? | ||
| Because so far, every attempt to Bring about peace has fizzled out and not worked, mostly because Zelensky or other European powers leaning on Zelensky to prevent these discussions happening. | ||
| And so getting these concrete steps to actually have the talks, to actually bring about peace, the Washington Post is describing as Trump somehow surrendering to Putin and allowing Putin to fight more. | ||
| They rely on the stupidity or, you know... | ||
| Cognitive dissidence or willful ignorance of the American people. | ||
| Russia has absolutely no reason to stop this war. | ||
| They are not losing the war. | ||
| They are not running out of material. | ||
| They are not running out of men. | ||
| They are not on the back foot. | ||
| They are not in any position to require a peace treaty. | ||
| They are winning. | ||
| So what would be the motive for them to stop? | ||
| The motive for them to stop would be a good peace agreement that they agree with and that You know, confirms the military objective that they originally sought, which was to bring in the two oblasts that wanted to be Russian and no longer wanted to be Ukraine because of the outrageous laws that were passed to stop them from speaking Russian and stop books from being printed in Russia and shutting down Russian language news outlets and all sorts of other oppressive actions that were taken by the Ukraine government between 2014 and | ||
| 2022 when Russia finally stepped in to militarily. | ||
| Liberate them. | ||
| So, all of this is lies. | ||
| All of this is absurd. | ||
| And everybody knows it except for the idiots that read the Washington Post and the lying scumbags who author these articles. | ||
| I'm going to go to a quick video here because we just have time to get to it. | ||
| Totally shifting topics here. | ||
| I want to go to clip number five and remind you to go to the InfoWars or go to InfoWarsStore.com or TheAlexJonesStore.com. | ||
| To protect yourself against the poison deliberately placed in our food, let's watch clip number five. | ||
| For World War II, our wheat was stabilized with iodine. | ||
| Iodine is a great halide. | ||
| After World War II, we started stabilizing wheat with bromine. | ||
| Now at the same time, or actually even before that, we had removed brominated medicines from the market because they were killing people. | ||
| They were damaging people. | ||
| Bromine is a toxic halide. | ||
| It interferes with your thyroid function. | ||
| It collects in the body. | ||
| It's not something you want. | ||
| Now, this can't be by accident. | ||
| This is my point. | ||
| This cannot be by accident. | ||
| They always used iodine. | ||
| There was no problem with that. | ||
| Why suddenly would they go to bromine when they must have known, with all those smart people, they must have known that bromine was toxic, and yet it's still there. | ||
| Now, you can buy some unbrominated wheat flour, and you can obviously go gluten-free. | ||
| But why does it even exist on our shelves? | ||
| They're poisoning us with bromine. | ||
| The Chinese are literally feeding their kids extra iodine to increase their brain power and to fortify their foods. | ||
| They put selenium in their soils to make their thyroids work better and to make their immunities work better. | ||
| I mean, they're doing all the right things, it looks like. | ||
| How could we be so stupid, right? | ||
| It's not mistakes. | ||
| They want us to work a number of years. | ||
| So they'll keep us alive for that long, but then they want us to die, is what she says. | ||
| So just know, just like the atrazine in the water, it's not a mistake. | ||
| It's not an unintended consequence. | ||
| They know exactly what they're doing. | ||
| They make these changes for that reason. | ||
| The purpose of the system is what it does. | ||
| We'll be right back. | ||

| It is on. | ||
| My name is Publius Hulda. | ||
| I'm a retired litigation attorney and I write on the original intent of the Constitution using the Federalist Papers. | ||
| I do not go by Supreme Court opinions because for 200 years the Supreme Court has been ignoring... | ||
| The Federalist Papers and the Constitution are framers given, and they have gone off on tangents of their own which have nothing to do with the Constitution. | ||
| The Attorney General's opinion begs the question. | ||
| He states that states can't nullify acts of the federal government which are authorized by the Constitution. | ||
| But then he completely fails to cite article, section, and verse clause where the Constitution delegates to Congress authority to restrict our arms. | ||
| When we ratified the Constitution, we created the federal government. | ||
| We listed, enumerated every power we granted to our creature, the federal government. | ||
| Article 1, Section 8, Clauses 1 through 16 lists most of the powers we delegated to Congress for the government. | ||
| For the country at large, we didn't put on our list that our creature could restrict our arms. | ||
| We didn't delegate this power to Congress because our framers wanted the American people to be heavily armed. | ||
| Alexander Hamilton and James Madison write about this in the Federalist Papers. | ||
| In Federalist Paper number 46, James Madison writes, Why the American people are armed? | ||
| It is so we can defend ourselves, our communities, and our states from the federal government in the event it becomes tyrannical and oversteps the constitutional limits on its powers. | ||
| In Article 1, Section 8, Clause 16, pursuant to that, Congress passed the Militia Act of 1792, where they required every able-bodied male citizen between the ages of 18 and 46, except for federal officers and employees, to buy a rifle, ammunition, and report to their local militia for training. | ||
| This is what authorizes private warships to make war on our enemies. | ||
| These were the privateers who fired on British ships during the War of 1812. | ||
| Our framers contemplated a people who were heavily armed. | ||
| That is why we never delegated to our creature authority to restrict our arms in any fashion whatsoever. | ||
| And when the federal government attempts to do so, they are usurping powers which they do not possess. | ||
| The Attorney General goes by Court opinions, not the Constitution. | ||
| There is a vast gulf between the two. | ||
| We have 200 years of Supreme Court opinions, and Mr. Chairman very kindly shared some of these 200 years of Supreme Court opinions, which have nothing to do with the Constitution. | ||
| Charles Evans Hughes said, over 100 years ago, the Constitution means what the judges say it means. | ||
| That has been the prevailing dogma ever since, and generations of lawyers have been indoctrinated with this lie. | ||
| That is why we no longer have a federal government which is held down by the chains of the Constitution. | ||
| What we have is ruled by five, five judges on the Supreme Court who claim the power to do whatever they want to us and our country. | ||
| So today we have two opposites. | ||
| Well, your oath of office requires you to obey the Constitution, not the Supreme Court. | ||
| The Supreme Court is merely a creature of this Constitution and is completely subject to its terms. | ||
| My third point, the AG asserts that the Supreme Court is the exclusive and final authority on the extent of the powers of the federal government. | ||
| There you go. | ||

| Alright, welcome back. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, this is the American Journal. | ||
| Second hour is on. | ||
| We'll be joined by... | ||
| Tiffany Sianci in the next hour. | ||
| Very excited to talk to her about, again, private equity. | ||
| The termite mound destroying the foundations of our country quietly, secretly, in the shadows. | ||
| It'll undermine us completely if we don't do something about it. | ||
| Very excited to talk to her about that. | ||
| I got so, so very much... | ||
| So very many stories to get to. | ||
| And I want to talk about this one here. | ||
| People have seen this, the stories on InfoWars. | ||
| It's a little bit complicated to cover this. | ||
| And I think you'll see why. | ||
| Basically, this post went viral yesterday from Jasmine Lane. | ||
| And it's a brochure from Canada encouraging MAID, medical assistance in dying, suicide by doctor. | ||
| For children with mental illness. | ||
| She says, spotted in Manitoba, you have to be a special kind of demonic to advocate for made for young, vulnerable people and people who are suicidal. | ||
| Imagine walking into a clinic for help and being told the world would be better off without you, that you should cave to the lies the devil on your shoulder is telling you, and it would be more affordable for Canada's healthcare system if you were gone. | ||
| As somebody who has transformed my life and become empowered to live it thanks to recovery plans and treatment after trying to end it, and is on the other side after losing the man I loved. | ||
| For nearly 10 years of my life to that same fate, there's nothing compassionate about this. | ||
| It's pure evil. | ||
| And she posts along with these images of this brochure that seems to be promoting MAID, saying things like, 1 in 20 people will wait more than 4 months for counseling. | ||
| The waiting period for MAID is only 3 months. | ||
| So yes, they're essentially saying the socialized healthcare system in Canada is so bad and slow. | ||
| That wouldn't it be more convenient just to kill yourself? | ||
| And you can wait four months to see a doctor and good luck. | ||
| I hope he speaks English. | ||
| Or we can just put you down right now. | ||
| Or we can put you down like tomorrow. | ||
| We got openings available. | ||
| Now there's a community note on this saying that this is not in fact a brochure from an organization that supports MAID. | ||
| On X, the community notes basically says this is an anti-MADE brochure that's basically warning about the dangers of it, maybe in a sort of an inverted way. | ||
| But saying we're already hearing about people asking for MADE because they do not have the support that needed to live. | ||
| So they're not actually in favor of MADE here. | ||
| But that doesn't mean that what is on this brochure isn't true. | ||
| This is where it gets a little confusing because the brochure actually describes the way that Canada is now pushing for what they call mature minors to be given MAID. | ||
| So again, it's a little bit weird because it's like, okay, yeah, this brochure exists. | ||
| It's real. | ||
| It really is talking about real aspects of the push for MAID and the desire to have it include Sad 15-year-olds. | ||
| But I don't know if this is a... | ||
| But I don't think it's accurate to say this is a brochure encouraging depressed kids to get MAID. | ||
| It's a brochure explaining that this is what's being targeted at your kids. | ||
| You see what I'm saying? | ||
| So it's not in favor of MAID, but the things it's saying about MAID are true. | ||
| And a brochure in favor of MAID would look and sound exactly like this. | ||
| And yeah, here's the... | ||
| From dyingwithdignity.ca. | ||
| So this really is a pro-made organization. | ||
| And they have a page on Dying With Dignity Canada called Mature Minors. | ||
| With appropriate safeguards in place, mature minors should be allowed the right to choose MAID. | ||
| Canada's Law on Medical Assistance in Dying, MAID, requires that applicants must be 18 years of age or older. | ||
| In many jurisdictions across Canada, mature minors already have the right to make important decisions regarding their health care. | ||
| This includes the right to consent or to refuse to life-saving medical treatment. | ||
| With special eligibility criteria in place and appropriate safeguards, Dying with Dignity Canada believes mature minors should be allowed the right to choose MAID. | ||
| According to a 2023 Ipsos poll, 71% of people across Canada support the ability for mature minors to request and be considered for MAID if all other criteria are met under law. | ||
| As part of our mission to educate and share knowledge, we are examining each issue of the Parliamentary Review in a series of blog posts. | ||
| In this blog post, we discuss mature minors and MAID. | ||
| Now, mature minors is not a thing. | ||
| Not a thing. | ||
| It's an oxymoron. | ||
| They're just minors. | ||
| They're just minors. | ||
| Now, the time people mostly invoke the term minor is when it comes to sexuality, comes to the fact that until you're 18, you're considered a minor and you can't consent to sex with an adult. | ||
| But that's not the meaning of it. | ||
| That's just an aspect of the fact that until you are 18, in some cases even older, your brain hasn't fully formed and you're not... | ||
| Capable of making long-term decisions with total responsibility. | ||
| It's not about sex. | ||
| It's about responsibility and the ability of people to make the correct decisions for their lives and not having the experience or knowledge to make those decisions or literal physical brain maturity to fully comprehend the outcome of the decisions that you make. | ||
| Why you can't get certain drugs before you're 18, why you can't buy cigarettes, why you can't buy lotto tickets, why you can't do a lot of stuff before you're 18. It has nothing to do with like, I mean, it's in part about like preserving the innocence of children, but it's more about protecting children from the consequences of their own bad decisions. | ||
| And until you're 18, you know, physically you are not mature enough to make that decision. | ||
| Even if you, you know, as a kid happened to... | ||
| Be aligned the right way. | ||
| It's just a risk you can't take. | ||
| Like, sure, you could point to a 15-year-old that seems to have their life together and understand, but, like, we've all been 15, right? | ||
| We all understand the changes that one goes through between, say, 15 and 25, and you might not recognize yourself 10 years later, so you can't make lifelong choices at that age, like gender-affirming care or piercings or tattoos, smoking or gambling all your money away. | ||
| Or killing yourself via a doctor. | ||
| So just sort of an interesting, I don't know, twist of that story where it's like this brochure that seems to be saying, hey, you've got to wait four months for therapy or just three months to be killed. | ||
| Choice is yours. | ||
| But that is actually what they're pitching. | ||
| That is actually what they're now considering, which is crazy and absurd and ridiculous. | ||
| And you have to wonder, If parents will even legally have to be warned that this is happening to their kid. | ||
| After all, they're already setting the precedent through transgenderism. | ||
| Say to kids, hey, your medical decision is your own. | ||
| And we're actually going to keep this secret from your parents. | ||
| Not only are we not going to do what your parents say, we're not even going to let them have a say in what's going on. | ||
| So you can get vaccines without your parents' knowledge. | ||
| You can even be medically transitioned without your parents' knowledge if you have, say, a perverted gym coach that wants to sneak you hormones in the nurse's office and put you in a dress but then change you out when it's time to send you back to your parents so they are none the wiser. | ||
| They're already setting the precedent for children making lifelong medical decisions without the knowledge of their parents. | ||
| Is it really so hard to imagine a situation where parents are dealing with a How dare you? | ||
| How dare you try to steal this right from your child, the right? | ||
| To let me kill them? | ||
| Crazy. | ||
| But that's the case. | ||
| That's just where we're headed, folks. | ||
| Sort of in line with that. | ||
| World Health Organization members vote in favor of global pandemic agreement. | ||
| Remember, it's not a treaty anymore. | ||
| Remember, if they call it a treaty, then it comes under the purview of the Senate. | ||
| It has to be discussed and voted on. | ||
| But if you just call it an agreement, if you change that word, it's like magic. | ||
| It's like saying open sesame. | ||
| Like it's the same thing that Should be illegal and that would require all of these various strictures and requirements and prerequisites. | ||
| But if you just change the word, now you've tricked everybody and you can do the same thing and just call it something different. | ||
| Same thing they're doing with DEI, right? | ||
| DEI is illegal. | ||
| Okay, well, we'll get rid of DEI. | ||
| And now we have an Office of Special Advancement. | ||
| It does everything the DEI does, but we named it something different. | ||
| See, aren't we tricky? | ||
| People can't be trusted. | ||
| So the World Health Organization's yearly gathering in Geneva is set to approve a groundbreaking pandemic pact on Tuesday. | ||
| It's a pact. | ||
| It's an agreement. | ||
| Just don't call it a treaty. | ||
| The agreement follows three years of tense negotiations, concluding its text in April after UN Committee unanimously approved it by 124 votes. | ||
| The treaty aims to prevent disjointed pandemic responses, improve global surveillance, and ensure equitable vaccine access, addressing failures from the COVID-19 crisis. | ||
| Yeah, I'll tell you, if the COVID-19 crisis had failures, it was not in the disjointed behavior of the people of the world. | ||
| In fact, everybody seemed to operate in total lockstep against the will of the majority of the people that they have authority over. | ||
| The global surveillance, I don't think, was a big issue. | ||
| I mean, these are not the actual. | ||
| The actual problems is that they imposed a bunch of restrictions. | ||
| That were not fit for purpose and had massive, to this day, unrelenting side effects that people pointed out and then were kicked off the internet or silenced for daring to discuss. | ||
| So they've learned nothing. | ||
| They're trying to just, I mean, literally, they're telling you, right? | ||
| They're like, we're making this. | ||
| It's not a treaty. | ||
| It's an agreement. | ||
| It's a pact. | ||
| Okay, it's negotiations. | ||
| It's not a treaty, though, because that would make it illegal, but it's not that we're calling it something else. | ||
| And they're just like, yeah, we're making a not treaty about control and surveillance and how we need more of both. | ||
| Okay, it's not that complicated. | ||
| It is that evil. | ||
| WHO chief Tedros whatever called the accord a step towards governments working together, while South Africa's precious Matozo says it is it says it shows the world is still together. | ||
| The assembly faces a one point seven billion dollar budget gap worsened by the U.S. withholding dues, threatening staff cuts and prompting consideration of a 20 percent membership fee increase. | ||
| And I think they should just be arrested. | ||
| I think why not just arrest these people considering the fact... | ||
| That they committed crimes against humanity for several years and are continuing to try to codify their practices into law. | ||
| Arrest them, maybe. | ||
| Maybe arrest. | ||
| I mean, they aren't learning their lesson. | ||
| So it's time that we stop treating these people like they have the ability or desire to do anything right or good. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| It's just we need to disabuse ourselves of this concept that these people are well-meaning and stupid. | ||
| That would be the only explanation. | ||
| And I get it. | ||
| When you look at Tedros, you can feel the lack of intelligence. | ||
| You can see it in his expression. | ||
| I don't know what it is. | ||
| It's something intangible there. | ||
| But you can just tell this guy's got an IQ of 90. It's easy to think that he's just stupid. | ||
| They're not stupid. | ||
| They know exactly what they're doing. | ||
| They're doing it on purpose. | ||
| So I feel like we keep giving them chances. | ||
| We keep giving them chances as if they're trying their best and just need another opportunity to get it right. | ||
| They spent billions of dollars a year preparing for the exact scenario that occurred in 2020, 2019, COVID-19. | ||
| I mean, they had it, and again, in the best case scenario, just taking them completely at their word as if they're honest, as if they aren't scheming, as if the pandemic wasn't a plot, it wasn't released on purpose, just taking them at their word. | ||
| Even though we know they're liars, even though we know all of this was on purpose, let's just pretend for a second that it was a coincidence. | ||
| Then all that means is that they spent billions of dollars held simulation scenario game planning like Event 201 for years and years and years on the exact precise scenario that came about in 2019 with COVID. | ||
| And despite all of that preparation, all of that money, all of that organization, they utterly failed to identify the virus before it spread, to stop the spread once they identified it, to do any sort of effective mitigation measures at all, anywhere, ever. | ||
| So it's like, how are you even going to pretend that these people are just trying their best and failing? | ||
| It has to be deliberate. | ||
| There's no other option here. | ||
| So again, they're going to do it again. | ||
| If the people that did it the first time aren't arrested and punished, and if the practices that they were engaged in aren't ended, and that the organizations who carried out the worldwide conspiracy to rob us of our rights destroy small businesses, I mean, just all of the negative consequences that came about. | ||
| From COVID that we knew were going to be negative from the beginning. | ||
| Again, another one of these examples where they all want to pretend like, oh, we just had no idea. | ||
| It was such chaos and confusion during COVID and we were just trying our best. | ||
| Yet somehow, the entire time InfoWars was here saying, this is how it's going to destroy education. | ||
| This is how it's going to destroy the economy. | ||
| This is what's going to happen when the third world can no longer get the food it needs. | ||
| This is where they're heading. | ||
| With the vaccine passports and the QR codes, this is why masks don't work. | ||
| Somehow we knew all of it before they ever implemented it, and yet they implemented it anyway and then pretended they didn't know. | ||
| Let's just stop. | ||
| Let's just stop pretending or treating these people as if they have even just moderate positions that are just... | ||
| You know, not going to make things better or worse. | ||
| It's like, no, these people are engaged in practices that only and exclusively hurt people, destroy civilization, kill people. | ||
| They're murderous scum who have committed crimes against humanity, and they're literally looking into the camera and saying, we're getting ready to do it again because you didn't stop us the first time, because you haven't punished us yet. | ||
| Let's get on that, shall we? | ||
| So let's get on that, shall we? | ||
| The punishment phase. | ||
| Please, for the love of God. | ||
| For the love of all that is holy. | ||
| We got so many videos that I still need to get to. | ||
| Let's go to clip number 11 and 12 here. | ||
| We'll go to clip number 11 first. | ||
| In San Diego, they're having a bit of trouble here because all of the small businesses downtown are being... | ||
| Outcompeted by illegal immigrants with illegal food carts. | ||
| And it's breaking out into rumbles in the street. | ||
| Let's go to clip number 11 here. | ||
| This is San Diego paying the price for being a bunch of progressive morons. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
| So you see the guy catching the cart, throwing it over. | ||
| They're very angry. | ||
| They're very mad. | ||
| We can take the audio down. | ||
| Fighting each other, the story at 10 News. | ||
| Twelve gas lamp quarter businesses sue City for not enforcing sidewalk vending law. | ||
| Twelve gas lamp businesses file a lawsuit against the city for failing to enforce the sidewalk vending ordinance alleging that illegal vendors are harming their businesses. | ||
| Twelve businesses in the Gasland Corridor are taking legal action against the city of San Diego. | ||
| Mayor Todd Gloria and the city council alleging negligence and interference with prospective economic advantage due to inadequate enforcement of the city's sidewalk vending ordinance. | ||
| The Gasland businesses claim that the city has the capacity to enforce the law, but has chosen not to do so. | ||
| Their lawsuit seeks $12 million in damages and aims to compel the city to address the issue of illegal hot dog vendors. | ||
| The establishment include... | ||
| You know, 12 long-lasting businesses that have been there for decades in some cases. | ||
| In the lawsuit, businesses describe how the unlicensed vendors have stolen and driven away their customers. | ||
| Morius Sitto, with Ghost Heist Tacos, says, quote, I lose between $1,500 and $2,000 a night. | ||
| He said illegal hot dog vendors have significantly impacted their revenue, forcing them to change what they sell. | ||
| He said, I used to be a shawarma place, and because pricing was a little higher than the hot dog stands out there, we switched businesses and decided to do a taco shop. | ||
| In February, the city council revised a 2022 ordinance aiming to crack down on illegal street vending. | ||
| Street vending, even if license, is banned year-round in the Gaslamp Corridor, but they're letting it continue at a pace. | ||
| And again, it's just symbolic of how, whether it's through immigration or refusing to enforce laws. | ||
| It is undeniable at this point, and it should be increasingly clear to everybody, even those not paying attention, that these laws cannot be, these actions, these programs, they're only and exclusively designed to destroy responsible people, destroy the United States. | ||
| There is no other reason to allow this. | ||
| Why allow illegal, and these are the people, it's so ironic. | ||
| You go to California. | ||
| Where regulations are just off the charts. | ||
| It's prohibitively expensive already to start a business, start a restaurant. | ||
| You've got Bill Maher complaining about how many requirements it takes just to build an add-on to his house. | ||
| Think about trying to run a food business to create a brick-and-mortar place where you're serving food to the public. | ||
| Can you imagine the number of regulations they have to stick to? | ||
| It's like this weird... | ||
| Again, cognitive dissonance where the socialist method of politics in California has all these crushing regulations on businesses because it's the government's responsibility to stop the evil capitalists from making people sick just to make a quick buck. | ||
| Meanwhile, they allow people to serve hot dogs out of a trash can on the sidewalk and won't do anything to stop it. | ||
| This is retarded. | ||
| This is impossible to be a mistake. | ||
| Destroy the ability of normal people to make a living. | ||
| To destroy the ability of America to actually function. | ||
| There can be no other excuse for the way that they do this. | ||
| The laws that they impose versus the laws they choose to ignore. | ||
| It's absurd. | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| And again, it's just another instance where they're making it to where following the law, doing things the right way, doing things in a way that respect the authority of the... | ||
| Local government or even national government is it makes you stupid. | ||
| You're an idiot. | ||
| You're an idiot because you can cut corners. | ||
| You can screw people over. | ||
| You can skirt the law and do way better. | ||
| You're going to do way better. | ||
| You're going to have the city at your back. | ||
| You're going to have them behind you and helping you. | ||
| You're going to make more money. | ||
| You don't have to pay for regulation. | ||
| You don't have to pay for taxes. | ||
| You don't pay for anything. | ||
| You can just start serving food out of a trash can on the sidewalk just outside of a fancy restaurant. | ||
| Make tons of money. | ||
| Adhere to nothing and make out like bandits while the work-a-day suckers following the rules, trying to do it the right way, are going to be continually crushed by the states. | ||
| It's anarcho-tyranny on steroids. | ||
| But speaking of all of this, let's go down to clip number 12. We're not going to have time to get to all of it, but let's watch clip number 12 and we'll get into... | ||
| What's happening with illegal immigration here on the other side. | ||
| But first, here's an illegal alien in Florida facing a $182 million fine for failing to leave the U.S. Let's watch. | ||

Don't feel well. | |
| This woman, who we will call Maria, says she did not want to use her real name, concerned she could be targeted. | ||
| But she does want people to know her story. | ||
| She told us, I don't want to go back. | ||
| She's the mother of three children who are American citizens. | ||
| She asked us not to show them. | ||
| Maria arrived from Honduras in February of 2005. | ||
| Two months later, she had an order to leave the country after not appearing at a hearing. | ||
| But she never left. | ||
| Oh, she didn't appear at the hearing. | ||
| So it's like, are we supposed to feel sorry for this? | ||
| She's been in America for 20 years. | ||
| She doesn't speak English. | ||
| She was given the opportunity to leave. | ||
| Well, first she got in here illegally. | ||
| Then she missed her court date. | ||
| It's just like, I've been here for 20 years scamming the American people. | ||
| Not even remotely attempting to, you know, conform to the society around me. | ||
| I don't even speak their language. | ||
| I commit multiple crimes. | ||
| And now they want me to leave? | ||
| Oh, boo-hoo! | ||
| Oh, boo-hoo, lady. | ||
| Back to Honduras with you. | ||

| That's entirely up to you. | ||
| All I know is that somehow, in the past couple decades, I've been with my wife. | ||
| Amongst her family, I became the guy who always has a knife. | ||
| And it's a good guy to be. | ||
| But it's also a little bit of pressure. | ||
| It'll happen occasionally where I'm not carrying a knife. | ||
| You know, it was like during Christmas or something, we were opening packages. | ||
| Like, does anybody have a knife? | ||
| And they're like, oh, Harrison has a knife. | ||
| And I was like, I don't. | ||
| I was like embarrassed. | ||
| I was like, dang it. | ||
| I'm that guy. | ||
| I'm supposed to be the guy who always has a knife. | ||
| And here I am. | ||

We'd have Harris attacked right then. | |

| We'd be out of luck. | ||
| So don't. | ||
| So you want to be the guy with the knife. | ||
| You want to be the guy who people know that guy's prepared. | ||
| That guy always has a knife. | ||
| You don't want to be. | ||
| The guy who usually has a knife and doesn't have him with him that day. | ||
| That's embarrassing. | ||
| That's who you don't want to be. | ||
| Do you want to be the guy with the knife? | ||
| And this is the knife. | ||
| This is the knife for everyday carry. | ||
| This is the knife for utility around your house as well as being a very dangerous weapon. | ||

| I gotta say. | ||
| A good tagline I just came up with. | ||
| We don't cut corners. | ||
| We cut evil. | ||
| We cut our enemies. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I got so many stories to get to in this last segment before we welcome Tiffany Cianci. | ||
| I don't know how I'm going to get to all of them, but I'll give it a try. | ||
| I'll do my best. | ||
| First of all, this story is in line with the warnings about the dangerous sunspots that we just saw NOAA and NASA warning about. | ||
| Saying that now the sunspot that has already caused disruptions in radio communications is turning more towards Earth and we could be hit with even stronger blasts. | ||
| Well, simultaneously, a mysterious, highly active undersea volcano near California could erupt this year, according to scientists. | ||
| Nearly a mile deep and 700 miles northwest of San Francisco, the volcano known as Axial Seamount is drawing increasing scrutiny from scientists who only discovered its existence in the 1980s. | ||
| Located in a darkened part of the northwest Pacific Ocean, the submarine volcano has erupted three times since its discovery in 98, 2011, and 2015, according to Bill Chadwick, a research associate at Oregon State University and an expert on the volcano. | ||
| Fortunately for residents of California, Oregon, and Washington, Axial Seamount doesn't erupt explosively, so it poses zero risk of any tsunami. | ||
| However, you don't really know. | ||
| You never know. | ||
| The destructive force of explosive eruptions is legendary. | ||
| When Mount Vesuvius blew in 79 AD, it wiped out the ancient Roman city of Pompeii. | ||
| When Mount St. Helens erupted in 1980, 57 people died. | ||
| When the Tonga-Hunga-Hapape volcano in Tonga's archipelago exploded in 2022, a once-in-a-century event resulted in a tsunami which reached a maximum height of 72 feet, causing damage across the Pacific Ocean and left at least six dead. | ||
| And so while I think, you know, Alex is right to have been, you know, warning for the last several months about the potentiality for a false flag attack on something like, you know, an immigration flight or a Black Lives Matter protest, I think that that is... | ||
| You know, certainly in the playbook and coming up, but just recently in the last few days, I keep seeing these warnings about natural disasters, and I can't help but tuning into that and thinking, okay, maybe that's what comes next. | ||
| Maybe what comes next isn't necessarily a civil emergency over an attack of some sort or a false flag event, but maybe... | ||
| We wake up tomorrow to find our phones don't connect. | ||
| And we start to realize, oh, it's not just my phone, it's everybody's phone. | ||
| Gee, we can't get any internet anywhere. | ||
| What are you going to do then? | ||
| I hope you're prepared for that. | ||
| Because again, no matter how things are going, you have to remember that the people in power have the ability and the heartlessness, the brutality to do something like this, to risk. | ||
| The lives of millions of people or end the lives of millions of people by cutting off power or releasing a virus out of a lab or some sort of other diabolical scheme rather than lose to America First and Donald Trump and the reassertion of populist inclinations. | ||
| So just a fair warning. | ||
| So fair warning for everybody. | ||
| Don't be surprised. | ||
| Meanwhile, Navy submarines have a new stealth problem they never heard coming. | ||
| Advances in AI, quantum computing and drone swarms from Russia and China could soon threaten the stealth capabilities of U.S. Navy submarines, challenging American underwater dominance. | ||
| The United States Navy relies heavily on the stealth of its submarines, which have long dominated undersea warfare with superior noise cancellation technology. | ||
| However, emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, advanced LIDAR sensors, magnetic anomaly detectors, and underwater drone swarms from adversaries like China and Russia could soon erode this advantage. | ||
| Such developments might take previously undetectable U.S. submarines vulnerable. | ||
| Compromising their critical role in nuclear deterrence and conventional strikes, while this new detection technology is not fully matured yet, the American military planners must closely monitor its evolution and prepare countermeasures to preserve their strategic advantage in future warfare. | ||
| And again, it's just a reminder that as things heat up all around, including around Taiwan with China, apparently Taiwan just... | ||
| I guess they're engaged in the same suicidal tendencies that America and Europe are. | ||
| They just took their last remaining nuclear power plant offline. | ||
| Why? | ||
| To save the planet, I guess. | ||
| You're getting rid of the cleanest energy technology available. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| Stupid as hell, but that's what they're doing. | ||
| So now, all of their energy production relies on importation of energy sources. | ||
| That China permits because China could easily surround and blockade the island as they routinely exercise and practice doing. | ||
| So, again, why they're choosing to do this, God only knows, but they've just taken their last remaining nuclear power plant offline. | ||
| Another step, in my opinion, towards war as it now takes away one of the pressure valves. | ||
| Where, okay, even if China blockaded Taiwan, at least they have a nuclear power plant. | ||
| Well, not anymore. | ||
| So if China blockades Taiwan, it's war because they have no ability to take care of themselves without the importation of oil and other, you know, liquid natural gas and other energy productive practices. | ||
| Anyway, moving on. | ||
| But that's very dangerous and crazy and bad. | ||
| Like everything that we talk about here. | ||
| From Jesse Singal. | ||
| Of course liberal institutions are engaging in illegal hiring practices on the basis of race. | ||
| Harvard University initially received plaudits for its resistance to the Trump administration. | ||
| After all, the list of demands the administration sent Harvard apparently accidentally was insanely onerous. | ||
| They weren't the sort of demands Harvard or any university could actually accede to while remaining a center of learning in any real sense. | ||
| Last week, though, New York Times reported that the Trump administration is escalating its conflict with Harvard. | ||
| Or as I call it, Tufts on the Charles. | ||
| Perhaps most menacingly with the potential of federal civil rights violation investigation. | ||
| The turnaround has been quick. | ||
| Harvard has basked in acclaim from the White House. | ||
| Critics for fighting back so far. | ||
| After Mr. Trump threatened the school's federal funding, Harvard sued the administration and legal experts said the university has a strong case. | ||
| But behind closed doors, several senior officials at Harvard and on top of and on its top governing board have acknowledged they are in an untenable crisis. | ||
| Even if Harvard quickly wins in court, they have determined the school will still face wide ranging fraud. | ||
| Again, if this was simply an assertion of what is American law and that you are not allowed ostensibly to discriminate based on immutable characteristics like race, sex, or other religion, these sorts of things. | ||
| If that's what the U.S. government would do, it wouldn't be an issue. | ||
| They'd be able to win in court and force Harvard to stop discriminating against certain races for the benefit of others, stop accepting applications from black applicants that they never would accept from white people, just making everything worse for everybody. | ||
| They would probably win that. | ||
| The problem is that most of the attacks on Harvard are predicated on the fact that they don't teach Zionist Israel worship as part of their Middle East studies. | ||
| So they're being shut down forcibly from that, which I'm against. | ||
| And again, it just shows that there's all these problems that are very big and very real that could be solved, but we just can't do it because our priorities are completely warped and hijacked and turned towards the benefit of... | ||
| In this case, Israel. | ||
| In some cases, the black population. | ||
| In other cases, illegal immigrants. | ||
| Just all of these additional problems that just make solving the real problems that much more difficult. | ||
| And indeed, in this case, pretty much impossible. | ||
| So it would be nice, be really a wonderful thing if Americans actually had a government that represented them and fought for them and imposed the laws that they voted for and passed. | ||
| But instead... | ||
| We're sacrificing everything on the altar of Israel. | ||
| So you can call us a red cow. | ||
| Meanwhile, Canada pauses select U.S. tariffs as minister denies full withdrawal. | ||
| We didn't see this publicized very much, did we? | ||
| I wonder why not. | ||
| Did you know? | ||
| Did anybody know? | ||
| Has anybody seen the headlines across the front page? | ||
| Canada buckles on tariff war. | ||
| Surrenders to Trump. | ||
| Funny, I had to go out and look for this. | ||
| Through all of my news gathering, from all of the sites that I go to, dissident, mainstream, none of them mention this until my dad texted it to me and I had to go search it out. | ||
| But yeah, apparently this is what's happening. | ||
| Canada has folded. | ||
| Canada has temporarily paused some counter-tariffs against the United States, but Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne on Sunday pushed back against claims they have been quietly lifted. | ||
| They're not lifted, they're just paused momentarily. | ||
| No, we're definitely still standing up to him. | ||
| As my dad said, I guess they really don't want to become the 51st state. | ||
| So they're capitulating on Trump's tariffs. | ||
| And once again, Trump's tariff strategy is having resounding success, despite all of the naysayers who decried the idea. | ||
| China, Canada. | ||
| And basically everywhere else, England, everywhere else that we've imposed tariffs on, have responded accordingly and in line with Trump's desires. | ||
| So well done, Trump. | ||
| Now, according to the Daily Beast, Trump is slamming the door on Elon Musk. | ||
| After more than two months of hyping Elon Musk and his work at the Department of Government Efficiency, Donald Trump and his supporters have gone awfully quiet on the world's richest man. | ||
| While Musk was once a fixture at the White House and heavily featured in the president's social media posts and fundraising emails, the Tesla CEO has hardly been mentioned since early April, Politico reported. | ||
| He now barely gets mentioned in White House briefings. | ||
| The members of Congress have also stopped talking about him, the outlier. | ||
| Yeah, it's a stark contrast from February, March, January, and December when the media was trying to, you know, cause division between Trump and Musk by claiming that Musk was really the one in charge. | ||
| Oh, you mean President Musk? | ||
| Oh, you mean Musk? | ||
| Trump is in charge of the White House, not Trump. | ||
| Trump is just a puppet of Musk at this point. | ||
| Weird, because when Trump wants to, Elon Musk goes away. | ||
| And Trump is, in fact, the President of the United States and was never beholden to Musk, simply accepted Musk's freely offered assistance in trying to right this ship and undo the horrific damage done to America by the left over the last several decades. | ||
| So we still love Musk. | ||
| We still greatly appreciate the... | ||
| Incredible things Musk has done for free speech and getting Trump elected and the MAGA movement overall, but he was never in charge. | ||
| He was never the central figure. | ||
| It was always Donald Trump, and the attempts to frame it otherwise were always dishonest machinations, manipulations by the left that we never fell for. | ||
| Elon Musk, still a big champion for humanity, still returned free speech to X, still launching rockets, still going to get us to Mars. | ||
| Still working to make government more efficient and get rid of bloated fraud at the federal level. | ||
| It's just, yeah, he was never the leader. | ||
| Trump was, despite the lies of the left. | ||
| But again, I mean, just like the Canada tariffs, just like the China tariffs, just like everything they ever say, just like the war in Ukraine, just like the war in Israel, they frame Trump as a variety of completely incompatible. | ||
| You know, labels. | ||
| He's a puppet of Elon Musk, but he's also a dictator and a tyrant, and he's a Putin puppet, and he's, you know, an Israel puppet, but also he's this other, and it's like, all of these are lies. | ||
| All of them are lies. | ||
| They're wrong about everything, and they don't even acknowledge it when it's proven out, right? | ||
| So again, a month ago they were telling us that Elon Musk was really in charge, and Trump was just a puppet on his hand, and what he wanted went, and, you know, Trump was just a... | ||
| A lowly functionary of the Musk agenda. | ||
| And then a month later, Musk hasn't been seen, and they're like, well, this is what we—actually, this is what we meant. | ||
| What we meant is that Elon Musk is out, and that's the bad—that's the real bad thing that's happened. | ||
| It's like, all right, you people are just desperate for something. | ||
| You have nothing. | ||
| It's embarrassing. | ||
| Stop. | ||
| Meanwhile, U.S. Attorney Habba, Alina Habba, And again, we've been over this before, but I wanted to, you know, add on the response from the likes of Eric Swallow as well. | ||
| Saying a red line has been crossed. | ||
| Trump is prosecuting his political enemies in Congress. | ||
| This is just the beginning. | ||
| We must take whatever we've done before to show dissent and go one rung higher. | ||
| And save your BS documents on this, Alina. | ||
| You'll need them when you testify. | ||
| So, a couple things happening here. | ||
| One, this is the James Comey style of defense where you leave out the pertinent thing that actually happened. | ||
| You leave out step number two. | ||
| In the three-step process, and it makes the third step seem insane, right? | ||
| They say they're charging a congresswoman for exercising her oversight. | ||
| It's like, okay, her exercising her oversight is good. | ||
| Her going to an ICE facility is fine. | ||
| Her physically assaulting police is what she's being charged with. | ||
| Okay, so you leave that part out. | ||
| Step one, provide oversight. | ||
| Step two, assault the police. | ||
| Step three, be charged for assaulting police. | ||
| In the construction of the leftist liars, it's provide congressional oversight, question mark, get charged with a crime. | ||
| Oh my God, look at the dictatorship. | ||
| So just on its basis, just understand Eric Swalwell is completely misrepresenting what's actually happening here because he doesn't want to admit that the Congresswoman assaulted police and the charge against her is valid. | ||
| So then he doubles down. | ||
| Then he... | ||
| You know, agitates for more resistance, more people standing up against the Trump administration, more direct action, more protest, more illegal activity. | ||
| So he's encouraging that. | ||
| And again, just, you know, they strike, they cry out in pain as they strike you, right? | ||
| They commit a crime, and if you try to charge them for that crime, they frame your charging as if that's despotism, saying, let's go commit more crimes, because look at how despotic these people are. | ||
| It's this feedback loop of dishonest, aggravation. | ||
| Sort of high-level agents provocateur where you caused the problem, then you used the backlash of the problem you caused as an excuse to cause more problems, acting like you're standing up against dictatorship and tyranny when in reality you committed the crime that you're being charged with. | ||
| It's not dictatorship or tyranny in the slightest. | ||
| But then he goes one step further, right? | ||
| He says, we should go one rung higher. | ||
| You thought... | ||
| You know, just trying to assassinate Trump was enough? | ||
| No, we need even more. | ||
| But then he says, save your documents on this and you'll need them when you testify. | ||
| Again, I want to ask Republicans in office, do you understand what they have planned for you if they ever get back in power? | ||
| Do you have any comprehension of the level of political prosecution, persecution that will occur if the left ever gets into power again? | ||
| They're saying it now. | ||
| Representative Swalwell is letting you know that if he gets back in power, he is going to charge Alina Habba with a crime because she charged a person who assaulted a police officer with a crime. | ||
| See, they're going to take these very lawful actions by the Trump administration, completely distort. | ||
| And pervert them, just like they did with January 6th, just like they did with all of the charges that they already tried to get Trump on. | ||
| They're going to do it again, only they're going to do it to everybody. | ||
| Trump's not going to be the only one targeted here. | ||
| So it's like, are you taking it seriously yet? | ||
| Do you understand the game these people are playing and that you cannot let them get in power again? | ||
| They're going to take all of the lawful actions of Trump, deporting illegals, going after criminals. | ||
| Arresting people for corruption. | ||
| They're going to frame all of that as despotic, tyrannical overreach, and they're going to put you in jail for life over it. | ||
| If the left ever gets in power again, it's not a matter of legality or whether what Alina Haba is doing is perfectly in line with their constitutional authority and the rule of law and precedent and everything. | ||
| I mean, what she's doing is the bare minimum of what needs to be done. | ||
| By the way, she's not even charging other congressmen that were involved. | ||
| Other people were involved in this that they were investigating and were suggesting they might charge along with the congresswoman they did charge. | ||
| She dropped those charges because the person didn't assault police, so she didn't charge them. | ||
| So she's being totally reasonable, totally restricted and restrained in her execution of this. | ||
| She's charging people. | ||
| As the law demands, they are going to put her in jail. | ||
| If the left ever gets in power again, Alina Haba is going to end her days in a concrete cell because that's what they're telling you they're going to do. | ||
| Okay, so like at a certain point, it's like when they say they're going to pack the Supreme Court. | ||
| That just gives you license to pack the Supreme Court. | ||
| When these people are threatening, they're not in power. | ||
| And again, it's like time and time again. | ||
| I use the same illustration. | ||
| It's like I have a gun sitting in front of me, a nice, loaded, ready-to-go, oiled-up, beautiful revolver sitting in front of me. | ||
| And there's a guy across the room walking towards me going, I'm going to grab that gun and shoot you. | ||
| I'm almost there. | ||
| Here I come. | ||
| I'm walking towards you. | ||
| And as soon as I get to that gun, I'm picking it up and I'm shooting you in the head. | ||
| And the Republicans are doing the equivalent of sitting there with the gun in their reach going, you better not, though. | ||
| Oh, but I wouldn't if I were you. | ||
| I don't think you should. | ||
| It's like, they're going to. | ||
| No, they are going to. | ||
| You have the gun in your hand. | ||
| Shoot it at them. | ||
| Politically, metaphorically, everybody gets them. | ||
| Not saying to actually shoot these people until they've had their trial, okay? | ||
| Until they've been charged with treason that they've committed and then are given the duly required punishment for their crimes. | ||
| At that point... | ||
| It's not a metaphor anymore. | ||
| But in the metaphorical sense, they are literally telling you, I'm on my way to kill you, and we're sitting here with the gun saying we don't think that's a good idea. | ||
| Maybe it's time to take their threats seriously, to actually do something about this before they get to us. | ||
| Yeah, this is like a perfect clip to be playing. | ||
| They're sitting there watching this happen. | ||
| From a mile away, you watch the bad guy steamrolling towards you, and they're just sitting there going, But we always follow the law. | ||
| But we always make sure to do things perfectly in line with the letter of the law. | ||
| Like, all right, well, they don't. | ||
| Okay, they don't. | ||
| So if they get in power again through hook or crook or releasing another virus or just rigging the election, or maybe they'll just kill Trump outright and murder his supporters and end the MAGA train that way, it's possible. | ||
| And certainly what they want. | ||
| James Comey's tweeting it out. | ||
| And then acting confused. | ||
| So, maybe take this seriously. | ||
| Maybe do what's necessary to guarantee that Eric Swalwell is never in a position to fulfill his threats. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| If they ever get back in power again, it's not just going to be Trump and his lawyers and his supporters like Rudy Giuliani that had their lives destroyed and end up in a jail cell. | ||
| It's going to be everybody who participated in his administration, legal or not. | ||
| Okay, so. | ||
| Take that for what it's worth. | ||
| Meanwhile, another major Trump victory. | ||
| Head of CBS News steps down. | ||
| It had been ongoing tensions with Trump because they just honestly edited a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris to try to rig the election in her favor. | ||
| So again, we're just surrounded. | ||
| We're inundated in our politics, in our media, in our local authorities, just the most... | ||
| Vicious, heartless, petty tyrants the world has ever seen, willing to cut any corners, commit any crime, kill any person to get their way. | ||
| And our defenders, standing in the gap between us and them, are the most lackluster, feckless morons the world has ever seen. | ||
| So, again, it's up to Congress. | ||
| This is the easy way. | ||
| The way we are offering is the peaceful, merciful, moderate way. | ||
| Enforce the law. | ||
| Expel the immigrants. | ||
| Imprison the traitors so we don't have to kill each other. | ||

| I'm about to be joined by Tiffany. | ||
| She'll be on this hour. | ||
| We're getting connected with her now. | ||
| I didn't spend as much time as I should have with the terrorist bombing of a pro-natal organization yesterday. | ||
| I want to go to a news report on this and about the guy who committed this act of terrorism. | ||
| Killing himself and no one else, but bombing up a fertility clinic of all places in case you weren't aware of just how truly, like, lowest level evil these people are. | ||
| They're actually ideologically opposed to life itself. | ||
| Like, it's crazy. | ||
| It's crazy, but that's the truth about these people. | ||
| And it's not just these crazy left-wing terrorists, you know, setting bombs in pro-life centers. | ||
| It's also the people that, like, wrote the article that we read earlier this week saying, or was it last week, saying, you know, I'm anti-life, saying, you know, I'm anti-natalist, and basically it's a crime to bring life into this world because life is suffering, and you're causing suffering by having children. | ||
| It's like, these people are sick, but they're also writing op-eds for the New York Times and running our healthcare agency, so think about that for a little bit. | ||
| Clip number 17, let's watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This morning federal investigators calling the massive blast that shook the idyllic desert community of Palm Springs an intentional act of terrorism. | |
| This was a targeted attack against the IDF facility. | ||
| Authorities naming Guy Edward Bartkus, a 25-year-old from a neighboring town, as the man they say detonated an explosive outside of a fertility clinic on Saturday. | ||
| The largest bomb to strike Southern California, shattering windows and leaving a wake of debris spanning two and a half football fields in every direction. | ||
| To throw pieces of vehicle hundreds of feet in the air and then several blocks away, imagine how big that bomb device was. | ||
| Law enforcement sources telling NBC News the suspect in the car bombing appeared to have an antinatalist ideology, a belief that having children is morally wrong. | ||
| Barkas' father, Richard, says he had not seen his son in 12 years. | ||
| The last time I saw him, he was a good kid. | ||
| And now I've never seen him again. | ||
| They don't know him like I know him. | ||
| Authorities say this is the first time Barkas has popped up on the FBI's radar. | ||
| Agents executed a search warrant at his home in neighboring 29 Palms. | ||
| As officials reassured residents, there is no ongoing threat. | ||
| But amid the devastation... | ||
| Good news for the hopeful families who stored precious embryos inside the clinic. | ||
| We were able to save all of the embryos at this facility. | ||
| Good guys one, bad guys zero. | ||
| Now, federal investigators say they plan to be on scene for at least the next 36 hours. | ||
| I think they're receiving hundreds of tips a day and following up on all of them. | ||
| They also tell us that they're tracking that possible manifesto that the suspect may have left behind and that he may have tried to live stream this explosion as it happened. | ||
| Peter? | ||
| Morgan Chesky with a very late... | ||
| All right, welcome back. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, this is the American Journal. | ||
| I'm your host, Harrison Smith, joined today by Tiffany Cianci. | ||
| I am very happy to welcome her back. | ||
| She is, of course, the modern Paul Revere who's racing to raise awareness about private equity. | ||
| You can follow her on X at TheVinoMom. | ||
| That's TheVinoMom on TikTok at TiffanyCianci. | ||
| And you can find all of her links at Linktree slash TiffanyCianci. | ||
| Welcome back to the show, Tiffany. | ||
| Good morning, Harrison. | ||
| Thank you so much for having me on. | ||
| How are you today? | ||
| I'm doing very well. | ||
| How are you doing? | ||
| You know, last time we had you on, I feel like we caught you right at the rocket launch. | ||
| And since then, you've gone stratospheric. | ||
| You're on Tim Pool and all these other really big platforms. | ||
| I feel like we grabbed you right before you really took off. | ||
| So you must be busy these days. | ||
| I am, and I'm just so incredibly, honestly, if it weren't for shows like yours putting me on earlier, I wouldn't be doing what we're doing right now, which is really, I think, starting to move the needle and starting to make a difference in this fight for small businesses, for the American justice system, for child safety, for so many issues that are all interconnected. | ||
| People don't realize how interconnected all of the issues are, and you guys gave me a chance to have a voice before a lot of other people did, so I really appreciate that. | ||
| Well, you know... | ||
| You brought awareness to this issue that, you know, maybe people we'd heard a little rumblings of. | ||
| We, you know, heard a thing or two about private equity. | ||
| But it wasn't until talking to you that it became clear to me what a big deal this is and how it's going totally unaddressed by anybody in power or authority. | ||
| And it really seems like this is something where people getting involved, spreading awareness about this, contacting, you know, their congressmen or senators. | ||
| Like, this is somewhere we can actually have a tangible... | ||
| And make a positive change because it's the lack of awareness that allows this to go on. | ||
| So what's been the response to your message? | ||
| And are you finding that most people like me really had no idea about private equity before they hear your story? | ||
| I tend to find right now that it's about 50-50, but we are seeing huge gains in the working class because they're being impacted by it on a daily basis. | ||
| We're seeing it in blue-collar jobs especially. | ||
| Because one of the largest places where we're seeing things happen is in HVAC, roofing, plumbing, electrical. | ||
| They're acquiring all of the small mom-and-pop shops across the United States. | ||
| Goldman Sachs, I recently was interviewed by a podcaster who tried to hire an HVAC company in his community. | ||
| He called every single one, and all of them in his community had been acquired by Goldman Sachs. | ||
| And so he was dealing with a local, small, regional monopoly. | ||
| Where they were setting the prices for everybody, and there was no little guy to go to anymore. | ||
| So I do believe that the working class is already acutely aware, but our politicians have been less impacted by it because they are elite. | ||
| They don't pay attention to what those bills mean, and they're not listening to their voters in the way they have in the past. | ||
| And I think that that's something that is going to come home to roost in coming elections if they don't start paying attention to the damage that's being done to their... | ||
| Populist movement that's really sort of backing the Republican Party, but also the working class that the Democrats are trying to claw back. | ||
| I think that they have to start listening because the working class already is waking up and they understand it and they see it and they know it. | ||
| Yeah, and there's a couple things to say about that. | ||
| Obviously, we had Ian Carroll on yesterday talk about this. | ||
| We're going to have more people on talking about this because, again, I just want to... | ||
| I really think that we need to get this message out there, not just because it's happening under the surface. | ||
| You know, I've described on Twitter yesterday, these private equity firms like termites, right? | ||
| You don't necessarily know that termites are hollowing out your foundation. | ||
| Doesn't mean your house isn't going to collapse, right? | ||
| You got to know about it. | ||
| Then you can treat it. | ||
| We just have no idea that they're... | ||
| We're undermining the foundations of our civilization like that. | ||
| When you say HVAC, I've seen similar things about plumbers, and it's almost like, okay, all of the jobs that could be outsourced were sent to other countries, but HVAC jobs, plumbing jobs, electrician jobs, those have to be in America. | ||
| You have to hire the local guy to come look at your toilet. | ||
| You can't outsource that to India. | ||
| So it's like, okay, they've gotten rid of all the jobs they could outsource, and all the jobs they can't outsource, they're dismantling through private equity. | ||
| It's so insidious. | ||
| There was actually, this is very intentional. | ||
| Like, it seems like maybe they just happened upon industries that are impacting our working class. | ||
| This was very, very intentional and calculated. | ||
| Back in 2020, when COVID shut down almost every small business in America, there was a large meeting of private equity investors in Sun Valley, Idaho, billionaire bunker, Idaho, they call it. | ||
| And they had a meeting to talk about what jobs would survive any looming recession that was coming. | ||
| And they found that the jobs that were still allowed to be open during COVID were likely candidates. | ||
| But more than anything, what they determined at that session was that they had to buy into industries that people had an emotional attachment to that they would pay for no matter what happened. | ||
| And so they determined that they would buy into industries that had things that people would find a way to pay for, even if they didn't have the money. | ||
| If inflation took it out of reach, if greedflation took it out of reach. | ||
| If a recession took it out of reach, if they didn't have the money, they would borrow it. | ||
| If they couldn't borrow it, they would steal it. | ||
| If they couldn't steal it, they would find a way and sell something to do it. | ||
| So that's when they started investing in nursing homes, things that serve your home because your home is the investment you'll protect at any cost. | ||
| Daycare centers, private schools. | ||
| They started investing in veterinary care, funeral homes, all of the things that we have to have to survive. | ||
| Nothing superfluous. | ||
| And at the same time, single-handedly acquired almost every industry where AI can't replace the workers. | ||
| And the people are going to fall victim to this sort of takeover by private equity. | ||
| And they're going to be the ultimate capital that's exploited. | ||
| And that's what really worries me is that they've taken over all the industries that can't be replaced by AI, which means people are going to be exploited no matter what. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And of course, you know, just there's something about HVAC also that, you know, because it's something that you just. | ||
| You just need to do, I mean, especially if you're in a place that's really cold or really hot. | ||
| I mean, cold is even more dangerous, right? | ||
| You can die if your heat isn't working. | ||
| And it happens to elderly people all the time. | ||
| And it's one of the industries that is most rife with corruption. | ||
| You see it all the time on, you know, local newscasts will set up stings where they have HVAC people come in and the HVAC person, you know, doesn't know there's hidden cameras around and is going, yeah, it's going to cost $20,000 to replace this part. | ||
| And then, you know, they come out and reveal this was a setup, this was a $200 part that you could have fixed, but people don't know, they don't have the expertise, they are just desperate to have their air conditioning work, so they pay out of pocket for it. | ||
| So it's almost like they have also identified or are going after, I guess, all jobs. | ||
| But to me, HVAC, the first thing I think of is scam artists. | ||
| A lot of scam artists use these things that you need and know that they can charge. | ||
| You know, out the wazoo for them because you don't know any better. | ||
| So it's just sort of layer upon layer of deception and criminality going on here. | ||
| You have to understand that private equity used to be such a small segment of our market, but it was really something that was controlled for generations. | ||
| You can go all the way back to Jimmy Carter, and we had guardrails to protect Americans against this type of exploitative investment and exploitation of American labor. | ||
| We had guardrails that were put on that any private equity firm could only have 35 investors. | ||
| And only up to $10 million to invest. | ||
| Otherwise, they had to report to the SEC. | ||
| And we had to see what was going on inside. | ||
| We had to know that they had the assets necessary to back the investments that were being flouted, right? | ||
| And then you go along to Reagan. | ||
| He removed some restrictions. | ||
| You move ahead to Clinton. | ||
| Clinton took almost all the guardrails off. | ||
| But it's not fair to say it was Clinton because he did it with 98% support of a bipartisan Congress. | ||
| Then you go ahead to Obama. | ||
| All of the guardrails came off. | ||
| And it was open season with private equity on American interests and American really excellence and ingenuity. | ||
| They have found ways to capitalize on everything that's made American industry exceptional. | ||
| And they're getting in there because they're running out of other things to exploit. | ||
| And so they started moving to small business. | ||
| One of the things that was really terrifying about that meeting they had in Sun Valley, Idaho, is that they identified very quickly at that meeting that America no longer trusted. | ||
| The American corporation. | ||
| They no longer trusted investment bankers. | ||
| They no longer trusted even their Congress, their president or their government in general. | ||
| They have an analysis that they looked at at that meeting that said Americans had like a 12% belief system in government as a whole, 8% in their Congress members. | ||
| They had a 6% trust of megacorporations, but they had an 81% trust in small businesses. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And they knew they could charge anything if you believed it was a small business and you would pay it. | ||
| They could charge you anything you wanted. | ||
| Anything. | ||
| And then they would buy all the small businesses in a particular industry, in a particular region or town. | ||
| And as long as they didn't buy all of them in the United States, the FTC and the DOJ couldn't do anything about it because our Congress won't pass the laws necessary to modernize our antitrust laws. | ||
| So if they don't own everything in the United States, they can get away with a regional monopoly that controls all the prices across eight or nine states. | ||
| As long as it's not all 50 states, government's not going to do anything to sell them. | ||
| And that's where we're at right now, is we have a Congress that is refusing to modernize laws that we need to hold these people accountable, to handle the monopolies that are being created. | ||
| We have a system that has no guardrails against these investors that are doing everything inside a black box, creating bubbles on top of bubbles that we can't even see coming, unless you can read tea leaves, because we don't know what they're securing with their assets, and we don't know how many types of debt that they're securing with the same assets. | ||
| They could be creating monster bubbles with their adjustable floating rate debt. | ||
| We wouldn't know, which we've talked about before in my last visit. | ||
| And we have a government right now that is not backing their president, Trump, who has said plainly he wants to see the carried interest loophole closed now. | ||
| The carried interest loophole is a tax loophole that allows private equity to be this exploitative. | ||
| It allows them to make infinite amounts of money off the hard work of Americans. | ||
| Exploiting American labor, American excellence, while dismantling American excellence in companies and selling it off to the highest bidder. | ||
| And then they get all of that money and they pay almost no taxes to the carried interest loophole. | ||
| It's offensive. | ||
| And President Trump said very plainly, I want this loophole closed. | ||
| He's been saying it for months. | ||
| And just this week, the Congress removed the closure of the carried interest loophole from their big, beautiful bill. | ||
| They took it out because their lobbyists and their donors demanded that they do it, and they fell victim to it again, not serving the interests of the American worker, not serving the interests of the American people, and undermining the president's request. | ||
| Right now, that could have happened this week, and instead, they turned their back on the American workers again. | ||
| Yeah, and this is something, again, we got into Ian, but really, I talk about it almost every day, that... | ||
| The left is the only one addressing these concerns, and I think that is a really big issue. | ||
| I mean, as you point out, America had guardrails. | ||
| It's always been a part of Americanism, the antitrust activity, the monopoly busting. | ||
| I mean, that's what Teddy Roosevelt got involved in. | ||
| There's no reason to resort to communism or socialism to stop these people making money. | ||
| You just need guardrails. | ||
| You need limitations. | ||
| You need sensible laws to protect the workers in your country. | ||
| And the right is not making that argument. | ||
| Instead, they're playing for the bad guys. | ||
| They're fighting for private equity that's destroying all of this. | ||
| And all that means is that all of these blue-collar workers that you're describing, the plumbers, the HVAC guys, they're going to see their livelihoods be dismantled by private equity, and they're going to see the Republicans on the side of private equity. | ||
| Where do you think they're going to go? | ||
| They're going to go to the left because the left is the only one that even pretends to care about them, even though their solutions are nonsensical and too wide-ranging and obviously just bad and wrong. | ||
| But clearly, Republicans have not gotten this message yet, that these are the people you need to serve. | ||
| This is the agenda that we voted for, and we voted for Trump protecting American workers, even against corporations, not serving corporations like private equity. | ||
| So, again, I don't understand why we are ceding this ground to the left, where there's this big problem. | ||
| They get to come in and offer a solution that's bad and wrong and terrible and tyrannical and despotic. | ||
| Whereas our side just refuses to engage or plays on the other team. | ||
| I mean, how do we get this message to the Republicans that MAGA is the future, get on board, or everything is lost? | ||
| How do we sell that, do you think? | ||
| You know, there's a lot of early conversation right now about the midterm elections, and everybody's really worried about what's going to happen given the state of the economy, given the jobs that AI is going to replace. | ||
| Everybody's concerned. | ||
| Republicans made historic gains with a populist movement of working-class Americans. | ||
| And they are forfeiting it. | ||
| They were happy to take those votes, but they're not happy to serve those interests. | ||
| And they're going to have to wake up very quickly. | ||
| But they're going to lose all of the gains that they made. | ||
| Right now, they had populist wind in their sails to carry Trump to victory in this election. | ||
| And then they immediately turned their back and went back to their high-dollar elite donors. | ||
| And I'm going to say what I always say. | ||
| It's a very simple calculus. | ||
| Very simple. | ||
| Right now, these incumbent dinosaurs in Congress... | ||
| I think they can keep telling us who to vote for and we're going to keep voting the same way. | ||
| That didn't work this election. | ||
| I don't know if anyone noticed. | ||
| They think that they can scare us into voting for one party or the other and we're just going to keep voting in lockstep. | ||
| But the reality is that we have a very weak population. | ||
| It's waking up more every day. | ||
| You can see that in some of the alliances that were made to secure this election. | ||
| And as these people are the most educated society in human history, as people are getting more access to information, they're not going to accept it from the mainstream media. | ||
| They're going to come to places like Infowars, private podcasters, and they're going to find out who's compromised. | ||
| And right now, every single politician that voted to remove closing that carried interest loophole and the higher taxes on people making $2.5 million a year, which Trump also said he wanted in this bill, they removed that also this week. | ||
| Everyone's going to look to see who voted for that, and it's going to cost them. | ||
| They can't just benefit from these historic populist gains in voting. | ||
| And think that they get to keep it if they don't serve the interests of that population. | ||
| And I'm going to be frank. | ||
| These are the only jobs not being replaced by AI. | ||
| There's a reason private equity wants to capitalize on them. | ||
| And when that happens, when we lose jobs to AI in these coming years, if they've turned their backs on the people that still remain, the places where we can still support small businesses and build economies, they're going to lose everything and all of their voters in the process. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| And just going back to the stats you gave earlier, I completely agree with it. | ||
| The disparity is still astonishing. | ||
| You know, 6% trust in big corporations, but 81% trust in small business. | ||
| It makes total sense. | ||
| And I find myself doing this all the time. | ||
| I will support a small business, even if I wouldn't, you know, in another situation. | ||
| Just yesterday. | ||
| You know, my son's in preschool and I guess they had some photographer come and take school photos and, you know, you have an option to pay for them. | ||
| And typically it's like, I got enough photos of my kids. | ||
| I don't necessarily need one of him posed or whatever, but it's like, well, it's a small business. | ||
| It's this local photographer. | ||
| I just want to support him. | ||
| It's just, you know, it's a nice picture and I might as well pay it because here's this guy who's trying to make a living in Austin. | ||
| So I want to support that guy. | ||
| I think that's how a lot of people make decisions. | ||
| So if you can hijack that sentiment and the people don't know, you launder it through small business, they think they're supporting a small business and are willing to pay more for that and willing to pay for things they don't even need because they want to support the local economy when they don't know that just behind it in the shadows is this looming monster of foreign investment and private equity. | ||
| It's just so insidious. | ||
| It's accurate, right? | ||
| People will try to support small businesses. | ||
| They don't know these small businesses are owned by private equity. | ||
| Can you talk a little bit more about the strategy they're taking in order to hijack the sentiment of Americans in favor of small businesses? | ||
| You know, honestly, one of the things that they do when they are buying small businesses is they'll use a broker because a lot of small businesses won't sell to private equity firms. | ||
| They'll use a brokerage or an intermediary that comes in and pretends they're a regular guy that's going to run this business, does all the right things, makes all the right promises. | ||
| And 24 hours after they close on a business, they transfer the ownership to a private equity firm. | ||
| So these small businesses aren't selling out on purpose. | ||
| They're not abandoning their communities on purpose. | ||
| Simultaneously, they get put into the contract in this very slick, fine print to these small business owners that they're acquiring use of their name, image, and likeness for up to two decades into the future, right? | ||
| And what that means is that they're going to get to hold themselves out as a small business. | ||
| For 20 more years, pretending they're still owned by that same guy that grew up down the block from you. | ||
| They have, like, statements written on their websites that say, we're serving our community because we're part of our community. | ||
| We're here. | ||
| We've been here for 40 years serving you, and we serve you that way. | ||
| No one ever puts on their website, we were acquired by Goldman Sachs, and not only do we hike our rates 80%, but all of our financing we offer now is owned by their banking software. | ||
| And it's been unified against every single small business in this field in our community. | ||
| And our software is going to make it so you get to pay more no matter who you shop with. | ||
| We're not going to put that out there. | ||
| It's almost impossible at this point to see who owns these small businesses that they've acquired because they will lie to you. | ||
| We should pass laws that require transparency if these giant corporations are going to own something and hold it out as something they're not. | ||
| More than that, though, we need to close the carried interest loophole. | ||
| We need to require the fact, like I know Ian talked about this yesterday, they use lawfare like they're using against me and my family right now through forced arbitration. | ||
| These secret court systems to hide their bad conduct and to force small businesses out of business. | ||
| We need to make it so that those arbitrators have to, like, just follow the law. | ||
| Just follow the law. | ||
| Bare minimum here. | ||
| We're not asking for the entire system to be unraveled. | ||
| Just that they follow the law, right? | ||
| That we actually can see who we're shopping with and not looking behind a curtain like the Wizard of Oz streaming through a microphone, right? | ||
| Because that's where we're at right now. | ||
| I want to support Mike down the street I went to high school with. | ||
| His face is still on a website, and it turns out Goldman Sachs bought him out through a broker, and he's got an NDA, so he can't tell anybody. | ||
| That is nefarious. | ||
| If you were doing a good thing, you could do it out in the open. | ||
| If you were doing a good thing, you wouldn't have to hide behind somebody else's face. | ||
| And that's what we're dealing with right now. | ||
| And of course, most people aren't even going to do the research anyway. | ||
| It's not like they even really have to hide it that far. | ||
| But again, this is the issue, and this is why it's sort of the perfect topic for the information war because if people knew, then they wouldn't be allowed to do it. | ||
| If more people knew what was going on, there would be an outcry, there would be political motivation to stop this, and it would be a simple matter of just, as you put it, enforcing the laws on the books. | ||
| Forcing the arbitration courts to adhere to the laws that are decided by the U.S. Congress. | ||
| I mean, it's so simple, it's so easy, and it's just nobody knows about it, so nobody does it. | ||
| So if we can just raise awareness about this, it really seems like, unless I'm missing something here, it seems like it's a simple matter to fix some of this. | ||
| And you laid out how there already were laws on the books that I guess were systematically or over time degraded to the point that they no longer exist. | ||
| I mean, am I missing something? | ||
| Or is it really, that's all we need. | ||
| We need Congress to step in and go, you know, we're going back to, what was it, 1970s rules for private equity? | ||
| We could just get back to Clinton. | ||
| We could literally just get back to Clinton's rules. | ||
| And that would put so many guardrails in place that we could restore faith in the small business American citizenry. | ||
| We could restore the guardrails to make sure that we aren't being exploited, that workers aren't being exploited. | ||
| I am not somebody that is for rampant regulation. | ||
| I'm not. | ||
| I'm not. | ||
| I don't believe that we need rampant regulation. | ||
| I actually think we should reduce regulation on small businesses and increase regulation on massive businesses that are exploiting everyone to close small businesses through anti-competitive practices and monopoly, okay? | ||
| But one of the things that I like to say, and it's not always easy to hear, is that capitalism is a very perfect system in purity, okay? | ||
| It wants unlimited output, unlimited productivity with limited resources and product input. | ||
| In its perfect iteration, capitalism at all times is trying to get as close to slavery as it can. | ||
| As much productivity as possible with as little output as possible. | ||
| It is up to the regulators of our country to make capitalism certain. | ||
| its people and not its people serve capitalism. | ||
| That requires a minimal amount of regulation to ensure that the more nefarious passions of the human condition Don't overtake the benefits to the society. | ||
| And right now we have a circumstance where our politicians are more worried about losing the dollars that private equity firms are giving them than they are about losing your vote. | ||
| And so they have voted to turn away from what President Trump and his voters asked for in favor of taking more money from behind closed doors like wizards in Oz. | ||
| They're getting more money handed to them in back rooms so that they cannot close the carried interest loophole, so they cannot modernize Our current antitrust laws. | ||
| So they can keep allowing corporations to use lawfare to destroy small businesses and turn their back on it like it doesn't matter. | ||
| You know, Ian Carroll's been covering what happened to me and my family and the hundreds of small businesses that this private equity firm, Seidler Private Equity, has been engaging in lawfare with over the last couple years. | ||
| Seidler Private Equity owns the Padres. | ||
| They're supposed to be a family-friendly private equity firm. | ||
| They saved California, everybody. | ||
| And then... | ||
| They went and quietly bought up all of these companies that serve babies and children and very quickly started taking away all of the safety mechanisms for those children. | ||
| They started cutting corners and kids started getting hurt. | ||
| When I, as the union president of that company, the little gym, started fighting to keep kids safe and to protect our safety mechanisms. | ||
| They terminated my contract and have proceeded to spend over $10 million suing me over and over again in state after state, destroying my life, just to terrorize all the other union members. | ||
| It tells you how important they think this is. | ||
| I mean, if they're spending $10 million to take you down, that's because they think that taking you down is going to result in $100 million later. | ||
| I mean, there's big money on this, and it's a very evil scheme. | ||
| We'll be back with Tiffany Sianci on the other side at TheVinoMom on X. Don't go anywhere, folks. | ||

| And can you imagine Inforwards being sold out to private equity? | ||
| Not going to happen, folks. | ||
| So go to theoxjonesstore.com today to support us and keep us on the air. | ||
| And in this fight, which, again, private equity just seems to be a new battlefield that we need. | ||
| Our forces deployed on, and that's what I want to get into with Tiffany, is how we fight back against this. | ||
| Obviously, the first step is knowledge of what's going on. | ||
| The carried interest provision, the loophole that Trump wants closed, but that Congress is not closing. | ||
| I was just doing some research during the break, trying to figure out who was behind dropping this provision in the big, beautiful bill that they got rid of. | ||
| And of course, ironically, I guess you could say, this is from 2022, how Wall Street wooed. | ||
| Senator Kyrsten Sinema and preserved its multi-billion dollar carried interest tax break. | ||
| So there's really a bipartisan consensus that private equity should be allowed to systematically dismantle American capitalism. | ||
| At least that's how it appears, isn't it, Tiffany? | ||
| Yeah, we almost closed this loophole in 2021. | ||
| They had the votes, and Kyrsten Sinema took millions of dollars in contributions from private equity firms. | ||
| And what happened after that is actually terrifying. | ||
| She took millions of dollars through PACs from private equity firms and things like Fran PAC that actually serve private equity firms. | ||
| And then she voted against it. | ||
| She was a deciding vote in not closing it. | ||
| Then it was a left problem. | ||
| Now it's a right problem. | ||
| But what happened thereafter is that she wooed all of those private equity firms to Arizona, her home state. | ||
| She said she was delivering all of this new commerce. | ||
| And what happened thereafter was Arizona and, unfortunately for you guys, Texas. | ||
| Became the bastions or the homes of almost all private equity firms in the United States. | ||
| They all house their contract law in Arizona and in Texas because they have almost no protections on the books for small businesses and everyday consumers. | ||
| They protect big business. | ||
| And so lots of these large private equity firms move their headquarters and their contract law to those two states. | ||
| Her state saw Boone and private equity companies moving there. | ||
| Never had the foresight to think about what was going to happen to the companies they acquired once they got there. | ||
| And what's happened is a cottage industry has risen up in Arizona in the shadows of her vote on that issue. | ||
| And they've created this industry at 24th and Camelback in Maricopa County, where they facilitate thousands and thousands of the forced arbitrations that exploit American small businesses and consumers every day through their secret court systems. | ||
| And Arizona, Maricopa County specifically, and Bedford, Texas, are the two sort of cesspools where all of that takes place. | ||
| And there's this huge undercurrent of, it's almost like they're controlling the politicians on both sides in those states. | ||
| You can't even bring up the topic in those legislatures without getting forced out. | ||
| And believe me, I've been there and tried. | ||
| We almost passed a law in Arizona to protect small businesses two years ago. | ||
| And we had the votes. | ||
| We were headed to the floor. | ||
| And that night, a letter was circulated to all of the voting members on both sides of the aisle. | ||
| Threatening to primary anyone that voted for it with big money behind it on both sides of the aisle. | ||
| And we went back to square one after we had the votes to pass that law and support in both houses. | ||
| They don't protect small businesses because they're not afraid of losing us. | ||
| As long as the money keeps coming in, they're going to keep doing what these billionaires want as long as we vote how the billionaires tell us to. | ||
| And that's where we're at right now. | ||
| Right, and as we left off in the last segment, I mean, if they're willing to pay tens of millions of dollars to get these bills passed, it's not out of the goodness of their heart. | ||
| It's because that's a small chunk of change compared to what they will get in return by hijacking these small businesses. | ||
| So the goal now, I guess, is to make this such a big issue that the public awareness of it and people acknowledging what's going on and making it a primary concern of theirs when they go to the voting booth, that concern has to outweigh The benefit they get by going along with the big money, right? | ||
| The politician needs to get that letter and go, these guys say they're going to primary me, but if I vote against this, I'm out of luck anyway because my whole constituency demands this and it doesn't matter how much money I have, they won't vote for me if I don't do it. | ||
| The public awareness and public impetus to get rid of the carried interest loophole has to overwhelm and be bigger than the benefit they get by accepting this money. | ||
| That's not an easy task, but I think we're well on our way. | ||
| And again, this is such an obviously bad system from both sides of the aisle. | ||
| Again, this is not a partisan issue. | ||
| I would think leftists could oppose this because their reasoning goes as far as money bad. | ||
| And so, you know, these are, hey, millionaires and billionaires want this. | ||
| You oppose it, right? | ||
| I mean, that's a great pitch for the left. | ||
| I think that works. | ||
| Right wing. | ||
| Don't you like small businesses? | ||
| Don't you want capitalism to actually function and serve the people rather than the people serving the market? | ||
| I mean, aren't you in favor of populist agenda? | ||
| So this is a bipartisan thing. | ||
| I think we're on our way to awareness of this, and anybody who's aware of it and isn't benefiting from it opposes it, right? | ||
| I can't imagine a plumber or an HVAC person going, no, actually, it's good that my company was sold to private equity and they eliminated our 401ks and got rid of the boss. | ||
| I mean, nobody's for this. | ||
| They're just not aware of it yet. | ||
| So if we can get awareness out there, people will be against it. | ||
| And we can move the needle. | ||
| I really believe that. | ||
| Americans have known private equity was evil for a long time. | ||
| You can go back to the early 90s. | ||
| I always like to remind people your first exposure to private equity, you might not even realize you had. | ||
| Anyone that was alive in the 90s watched the movie Pretty Woman. | ||
| We all saw Richard Gere and Julia Roberts. | ||
| It was a movie about a big business guy fell in love with a woman from the wrong side of the tracks, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| But in that movie... | ||
| The bad guys were the businessmen that were buying up big companies and selling them off for the parts. | ||
| It was the very first exposure most Americans had to private equity. | ||
| He was the CEO of a private equity firm. | ||
| And in that movie, he didn't become the good guy until he decided to go back to building big ships and rebuilding American excellence. | ||
| And that's what it took to become a protagonist or an antagonist. | ||
| Americans have known this was an evil strategy forever. | ||
| And that's why they have to hide it. | ||
| If private equity was so great and what they did was so great, they wouldn't need to buy the name, image, and likeness of the small business owner. | ||
| They'd be proud to be who they were doing what they're doing. | ||
| Instead, they abuse secret court systems that have monopolies over the secret court systems to break laws, to invent their own rules, and to hide from the system of governance the rest of us have to abide by. | ||
| You know, a lot of people want to believe that America offers freedom and justice for all. | ||
| We want to believe that that is still true. | ||
| That's what we've been raised on. | ||
| I believe myself as a patriot. | ||
| I have severe reverence for my country. | ||
| I love living in America. | ||
| I love being an American. | ||
| But one of the hardest things that I've had to learn is that there is not justice for all in America. | ||
| Because of these secret court systems exploited by the ultra-wealthy that nobody even knows exists, because of these secret court systems, you only get the justice you can afford. | ||
| Right now, 1.4 million Americans are forced into secret courtrooms every year. | ||
| Tens of thousands of small businesses in every state are forced into these secret courtrooms, where they don't have to follow the law, but they do have to serve the interests of billionaires, or the judges quit getting their paycheck. | ||
| They get paid by billionaires to keep ruling for them. | ||
| And nobody can speak out about it because they have forced NDAs and secret contracts that make it so they can't talk to the press. | ||
| When you have a system of justice that you can pay for access to, that doesn't have to follow the law if you're wealthy, We no longer have justice for all. | ||
| When you have a system where the wealthy can hide behind small business imagery to pretend to be something they're not and still exploit American labor, and we can't bring that to light because of those same justice systems, our system has faltered. | ||
| And if we don't get it back on track, it will be too late. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| And, I mean... | ||
| I wonder if we don't even, like, do we need new vocabulary for this? | ||
| Because even referring to these as courts is just, it puts you in the wrong frame of mind. | ||
| These aren't courts. | ||
| They are, you literally, you're going to somebody who's being paid by the company that you're suing who understands that his continuing employment requires him to decide on the side of the big business that's paying him. | ||
| So it's not even a courtroom. | ||
| It's a kangaroo courtroom at the... | ||
| In the most generous interpretation, but, you know, these arbitration chambers, like there's got to be another word for it because these aren't even courts. | ||
| They're secret proceedings for a reason. | ||
| And, you know, as John F. Kennedy said, you know, the very idea of secrecy is anathema to, you know, an open society. | ||
| They're using secrecy to get away with this stuff. | ||
| And I think even calling them courts is a disservice. | ||
| There's nothing legal about it. | ||
| And for it to be called a court, you'd think there'd have to be some sort of semblance of justice or even representation, but it's just not even remotely that. | ||
| So, you know, linguistically, there's got to be a way to approach this that gives the reality to what we're dealing with. | ||
| And look, if this was, what are your comments on that first? | ||
| Because I got so much more I want to talk to you about, but just, you know, these aren't courts. | ||
| These secret proceedings, they're not courts. | ||
| They're not courts. | ||
| So I was forced into my arbitration with my private equity firm. | ||
| In my arbitration, they say they're going to be cheaper. | ||
| No, I'm over $700,000 in legal debt for my cheap courtroom. | ||
| And they're over $10 million in debt for my cheap courtroom, right? | ||
| They paid $10 million to silence me. | ||
| In my court, I watched as my judicial rights were systematically dismantled. | ||
| I had dozens of witnesses ready to testify for me. | ||
| They banned every. | ||
| A single one of them. | ||
| They even tried to ban my husband, who was a litigant. | ||
| He was a federal attorney ready to testify in our case, and they tried to ban him, and they almost succeeded. | ||
| I had no witnesses to testify on my behalf, despite submitting large lists of witnesses ready to testify. | ||
| All of their witnesses were allowed, every single one. | ||
| When we got there and we got to court, every time we would try to talk about a topic that was central to my argument, they would stop me from talking. | ||
| Their CEO lied under oath. | ||
| Simple question. | ||
| Did you ever say this on camera in a system-wide call? | ||
| He said, nope, I don't recall that ever happening. | ||
| We looked at the judge and we said, we'd like to show you the video where he said that and threatened her. | ||
| And the judge said, nope, we're not going to watch that video. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| That was it. | ||
| We're not going to watch it. | ||
| We were denied impeachment evidence. | ||
| We were denied witnesses. | ||
| And then, in the middle of my case, which I don't even know if you know this, they've been talking about it on Candace Owens quite a bit. | ||
| In the middle of my case, I was pregnant, Harrison. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| I was pregnant and we tried for three and a half years to get pregnant. | ||
| It was much wanted. | ||
| We were desperate to have that baby. | ||
| And I was high risk. | ||
| And we asked for a temporary pause for a few weeks because my blood pressure was high from the stress. | ||
| And I had something called a subchorionic hematoma. | ||
| I was bleeding. | ||
| And the high blood pressure, it makes that worse. | ||
| We asked for a little pause. | ||
| Now, by comparison, their lawyer had an outpatient ear surgery. | ||
| She was home a couple hours later. | ||
| We gave her three weeks of pause. | ||
| Three weeks to recover. | ||
| We asked for a couple weeks, and they said no. | ||
| On the contrary, their lawyers filed immediate subpoenas to make me fly to Arizona when they found out I was on bed rest and couldn't move. | ||
| After that, they filed motions when they learned I was getting worse, had me produce bedside and early labor for depositions. | ||
| That could never happen in a court of law. | ||
| It is illegal. | ||
| Then, when they found out that all of the stress was forcing me to lose the baby, I was going to lose that baby. | ||
| They filed a motion knowing I was a Catholic woman that had documentation I was a Catholic woman. | ||
| They filed motions to force me to schedule an abortion I did not want against my will. | ||
| That could never happen in a court of law. | ||
| But in these secret arbitrations, they can do whatever they want. | ||
| And the arbitration company, the American Arbitration Association, they control 90% of these arbitrations. | ||
| It is an absolute monopoly, okay? | ||
| They're controlling 1.3 million of the 1.4 million cases each year. | ||
| They actually have rules for their judges that they're supposed to suggest ethical behavior but not report it. | ||
| It's illegal in every state for a licensed member of the bar to not report unethical conduct. | ||
| But in this company, you lose your job if you report it. | ||
| You can't report their judges either because there's a law in almost every state that prevents their judges from having to testify on the unlawful conduct they engage in. | ||
| Did you know that? | ||
| I did not know that. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| In Arizona, after I was forced to have an abortion, in Arizona, it's illegal to coerce an abortion, and it was an Arizona tribunal. | ||
| It's illegal to coerce an abortion. | ||
| So I went to apply to have them enforce that felony for what they did to me. | ||
| And they told me that they couldn't do it because it was illegal to call any arbitrator to testify on what happened in the proceedings. | ||
| So they couldn't actually prove it. | ||
| They were barred from asking him what he did. | ||
| We have created a two-tiered system of justice where the wealthy get whatever they want and they hide it because nobody in these secret courts can talk about it. | ||
| They can maim children. | ||
| They can permanently disable people. | ||
| They can kill people in nursing homes, which a recent study showed that they have 23,000 people died at the hands of Carlisle Group when they acquired a ton of nursing homes. | ||
| They acquired thousands of nursing homes and they bankrupted all of them. | ||
| And in the process, 23,000 senior citizens died over nine years. | ||
| To their neglect, their unlawful conduct. | ||
| And you can't bring it to the public and show them what happened because they're in secret courtrooms with non-disparagement clauses. | ||
| That is not justice. | ||
| That is not free speech. | ||
| That is anathema to everything that the American Founding Fathers stood for and what they believed was necessary for a free republic. | ||
| Oh my God. | ||
| This is where we are. | ||
| It honestly just gets worse than where, I mean, the more you hear about it, abuse of process doesn't even begin to describe. | ||
| Everything that you just went through. | ||
| I mean, it really does act like a mafia. | ||
| I mean, more so than going into a courtroom, you're going up to basically a mafia Don and trying to plead your case, and he's under no obligation to listen to you or make any agreements with you. | ||
| And again, we talked about this with Ian, because under the American court system, ideally, theoretically, it's there to... | ||
| Bring justice to, you know, have a fair playing ground, which is a beautiful thing, and it's a powerful thing. | ||
| It's been very effective in our country for its entire existence, bringing massive corporations down to the level of the individual so they, you know, they aren't able to just steamroll over an American citizen just because they have money and power, and that is as American as it gets. | ||
| But, you know, we talked about the fact that, you know, they're able to circumvent this using these secret courts. | ||
| And then you can't even charge them in a normal court later because I guess this court system in a way supersedes the actual court system. | ||
| So when you talk about bringing a felony charge against these people for coercing you to get an abortion, because they call themselves a court, it takes the place of a normal court proceeding. | ||
| Again, this is just, it's like how many reasons do you need to oppose this? | ||
| And is, you know, 23,000 deaths. | ||
| Not enough. | ||
| Is destroying small businesses not enough? | ||
| The secrecy not enough? | ||
| I mean, so many aspects of this are so outrageous and objectionable. | ||
| Again, let's talk about what we need to do to fix this. | ||
| What do we need to do to get back to that early 90s Clinton era where there were guardrails in place, or I would prefer even better, back in the 80s before Reagan dismantled some of the regulations? | ||
| I mean, how do we get back to a place where the laws are on the books to stop this from happening? | ||
| What would you say the first step is? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| I'm not so naive as to believe that we can get our do-nothing Congress to actually go that far. | ||
| I'm not so naive as to believe that. | ||
| It's going to take the American people convincing their Congress members that they should be more afraid of losing their vote than they are of losing those dollars. | ||
| But what we could do, just as a baseline introduction to starting that process, just baseline. | ||
| Why don't we pass a law that makes arbitrators follow the law? | ||
| They're pretending to be judges. | ||
| Shouldn't they have to follow the law? | ||
| And if they don't follow the law, shouldn't another court have a chance to review it? | ||
| That would be a baseline metric. | ||
| Just follow the law. | ||
| Second, we could close the carried interest loophole and stop making this kind of perversion of the capitalist system so attractive to these billionaires. | ||
| Because these billionaires are building bunkers, right? | ||
| They're building private armies. | ||
| They're not doing this because they think what they're doing is going to work out well. | ||
| Who's going to say that? | ||
| What they're doing, they know, is going to lead to the degradation of America, and they will take their billions and move on to the next country they can exploit. | ||
| That's what they'll do, unless we are able to temper those passions and start serving the American people. | ||
| We should modernize our antitrust laws to account for regional monopolies. | ||
| We should empower our regional attorney generals to start bringing antitrust cases. | ||
| Just this week, we saw a small thing. | ||
| Oh, you've got it up right now. | ||
| And those same lawyers... | ||
| Are the ones teaching law students, and those same law students are going to go be aides in D.C., and all the lawyers are getting elected in D.C., and their buddies are lawyers, too. | ||
| This is a system where we have a great big, not a blue wall, but the red American Arbitration Association wall of misery. | ||
| And they are not turning on one another because lawyers support lawyers. | ||
| And there are lawyers. | ||
| There's not a single terrible thing, not a single terrible law, not a single poorly lifted restriction that has ever happened in American history. | ||
| That wasn't enabled by unethical lawyers. | ||
| Not one. | ||
| And I say that as someone who's married to a federal attorney. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| It's not easy to say. | ||
| It's not easy for me to say that. | ||
| But unethical lawyers have enabled every terrible thing that's ever happened in our legal system and in our legislative branch and in our judiciary. | ||
| Every single one. | ||
| When we have those same bad lawyers regulating themselves, I'll give you an example. | ||
| In Arizona, in my case, I filed bar complaints against all the attorneys. | ||
| That filed those motions to force me to have an abortion. | ||
| And the judge who allowed it. | ||
| It was being taken seriously. | ||
| I had an investigator that was horrified. | ||
| He said this was going to go to a trial. | ||
| That it was going to go before the hearing tribunal on bar complaints. | ||
| They were likely to be sanctioned. | ||
| And all of a sudden, one day, he disappeared. | ||
| My investigator. | ||
| Just disappeared. | ||
| After 700 pages of documents, he disappeared. | ||
| And then I was assigned to the guy that was in charge of the department. | ||
| And he wouldn't tell me where my investigator went. | ||
| And then they did nothing. | ||
| They said they didn't want to charge my attorneys that did this, not my attorneys, but the attorneys that did this, because they'd never been charged before with an ethical violation, and they didn't want to give their first ethical violation. | ||
| Can you imagine if we had approached murder like that? | ||
| They've never murdered anyone before. | ||
| Why would we charge them with murder now, right? | ||
| And then we found out that my judge, my arbitrator, Patrick Irvine, Was the new chair of the Character and Fitness Committee for Arizona. | ||
| Oh my God. | ||
| That oversaw the investigation into the lawyers I submitted. | ||
| It is so corrupt. | ||
| So another way we could make this change is we could add everyday citizens to the ethical review committees for lawyers so that it's not just lawyers governing lawyers, but citizens deciding if something is unethical. | ||
| And any state or jurisdiction could do that without the federal government. | ||
| They could start that process. | ||
| Right now, through a referendum in the 19 referendum states, where citizens can pass laws without their legislators. | ||
| We could do that now. | ||
| And that would be a step, right? | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| But these are some of the base things we could do. | ||
| And it's like, no, this is literally the reason why America is set up the way it is. | ||
| And I always think back to, there's one instance, I believe it was Rand Paul questioning somebody from the military, and he kept asking him, is it okay that this was back in the Obama years, I think, he's saying, is it okay if Obama... | ||
| He bombs American citizens overseas. | ||
| And what he got back was a bunch of jargon. | ||
| Well, sir, the threat matrix that we use is a highly sophisticated blah, blah, blah. | ||
| And he just kept going, okay, okay, okay. | ||
| Is it right that he's allowed to do this? | ||
| And I remember seeing that and it was like a wake-up moment to me. | ||
| It was like, this is why we have regular people as representatives. | ||
| Because if you put experts and lawyers and, you know, these people, they can talk you in a circle. | ||
| They can justify anything. | ||
| They can make anything sound legal and good. | ||
| What you need is a country boy to go, yeah, this sounds wrong and I'm against it. | ||
| No. | ||
| And it's like, this is why America is set up this way. | ||
| This is what we need. | ||
| Regular people knowing what's going on and having the authority to stop the so-called experts, the very well-spoken lawyers from running circles around the other experts and doing things that are unconscionable and should be illegal or probably are, and they just get away with it. | ||
| So this really is a question of the function of America, the purpose of America. | ||
| And again, if you have a court... | ||
| With somebody who's going, hey, I'm having complications in my pregnancy, the average federal court will make amends for that or will make, you know... | ||
| Changes for that and go, okay, we're trying to get a fair playing field here. | ||
| But in the arbitration court, they double down. | ||
| They viciously attack you. | ||
| I mean, it's just absolutely horrific. | ||
| In the last minute we have with you, again, what do you want people to know? | ||
| What do we do next? | ||
| For people that haven't heard about this and are fired up about this, where do you send them to get more information and to carry this fight to the courthouse or the statehouse to get laws changed? | ||
| What do we do? | ||
| Right now you can follow me at TheVinoMom on Instagram and X and Tiffany Cianci on YouTube and TikTok. | ||
| I encourage every single one of your viewers right now to go tag President Trump and every senator and representative you have and demand that they put the carried interest loophole closure back into this bill immediately. | ||
| We still have time. | ||
| We need to demand it this minute, this instant, this hour, this moment. | ||
| We also need to call on every one of them to start regulating arbitration. | ||
| And you should be asking your attorney generals to bring their own antitrust cases against these arbitration firms that are destroying the small businesses and the private equity firms in your community. | ||
| They can do that. | ||
| You can do it, too. | ||
| We just can't afford to. | ||
| So your attorney generals could do that for you. | ||
| You don't have to wait for the federal government. | ||
| And we should be trying to pass laws in those referendum states to add our, like, if American citizens are a jury of our peers. | ||
| In a court, why shouldn't we be a jury that oversees the lawyers that are getting away with these types of unethical conduct? | ||
| 100%. | ||
| We need to drag this practice into the light, expose it for what it is. | ||
| Tiffany Sianci, incredibly powerful, as always. | ||
| Follow her on X at TheVinoMom. | ||
| That's gonna do it for us. | ||
| Stay tuned for Alex Jones in 90 seconds, folks. | ||

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