| Someone very profoundly once said many years ago that if fascism ever comes to America, it'll come in the name of liberalism. | ||
|

|
You've got to call it for what it is. | |
| This is a white nationalist agenda. | ||
| It is a wholesale takeover of the country by a fascist ideology. | ||
| There's no fascist ideology that anybody detected. | ||
| But there's a pattern, just to be very quick, in the United States that when a president is a Republican, So George Bush was called a digital brown shirt by Al Gore. | ||
| I think Angela Merkel said it's the same old fascist thing. | ||
| Even John Glenn called him a fascist. | ||
| And then Bush was out of office. | ||
| And then Trump came in and everybody said, I wish we had George Bush. | ||
| He was a statesman. | ||
| He was a moderate. | ||
| And what is fascism? | ||
| Fascism is Well, isn't this the liberal philosophy? | ||
| The conservative so-called is the one that says less government, get off my back, get out of my pocket. | ||
| And let me have more control of my own destiny. | ||
| The streets are set to burn on June 14th as the so-called No Kings movement gears up to unleash chaos across America, cloaking their rebellion in the guise of patriotism on Flag Day. | ||
| Clearly, a calculated assault on the very fabric of our nation, timed to coincide with President Trump's 79th birthday and the U.S. Army. | ||
| It's 250th anniversary, led by the likes of Indivisible and the shadowy 5051 movement. | ||
| Every state protesting dictators, that is from the 5051 movement, which started these protests against what Trump was doing very early on in the second Trump term. | ||
| Remember, 5051 comes from them organizing 50 protests in 50 state capitals all on one day. | ||
| That's what 5051 stands for. | ||
| No King's Activist Collaborators, The Indivisible Project, a progressive nonprofit founded in 2016, hell-bent on opposing the Trump administration, received over $8 million from George Soros' Open Society Foundations between 2017 and 2020. | ||
| Some of its founders, like Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg, have indirect ties to Soros-funded groups through past affiliations. | ||
| I'm just as tired of saying it as you are of hearing it, but when in Hades is the U.S. government going to boot the Soros family out of the United States political framework? | ||
| Recent attacks on federal officers by rogue protesters emboldened by the same anti-Trump fervor prove this isn't about free speech. | ||
| It's about anarchy, plain and simple, with violence against law enforcement becoming the calling card of this radical left-wing crusade. | ||

Witnesses are reporting that the subject used a makeshift flamethrower and threw an incendiary device into the crowd. | |
| The fiery bloodshed in Boulder, Colorado is just a preview of what's coming. | ||
| These groups, backed by globalist puppets like Move On and the Human Rights Campaign, are weaponizing the narrative of authoritarianism to justify their own lawlessness. | ||
| This isn't resistance, it's sedition, and it's escalating as the left loses what's left of its mind. | ||
|

|
I'm f***ing sterile today. | |
| Sterile! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You're a mag! | ||
| I'm happy. | ||
| You're a mag! | ||
| Don't touch me. | ||

|
We have a mental health crisis. | |
| Prior to the pandemic, about one billion people on the planet suffered from a mental disorder that represents about 13% of the world's population. | ||
| Rates in the United States are even higher. | ||
| One in five people have a mental disorder in any given year. | ||
| About 50% of Americans will meet criteria for a mental illness at some point or another during their lives. | ||
| Why did you tell me to come this way, Griselda? | ||
| You know I hate nature. | ||
| Look at those disgusting trees stealing my... | ||
| This is the current state of the modern-day Democrat Party. | ||
| The Democrat Party has been completely captivated by these far-left lunatics. | ||
| The $45 million parade, a celebration of our military's might, is being twisted into a symbol of tyranny by those who'd rather see America kneel than stand down. | ||
|
unidentified
|
all ask yourself who benefits from this chaos It's Monday, June 9th in the year of our Lord, 2025. | |
| And you're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
| Watch it live right now at band.video. | ||
| I think it's time to blow this thing. | ||
| Get everybody in the stuff together. | ||
| Okay, three, two, one. | ||
| Let's jam. | ||
| I'm your host, Harrison Smith, coming to you live this morning from the InfoWars headquarters here in Austin, Texas. | ||
| And it's happened. | ||
| It has begun, just as we predicted, just as they told us they were going to do. | ||
| The Battle of Los Angeles. | ||
| It's broken out over the weekend with violent riots embroiling the city composed primarily of foreigners. | ||
| And it is a truly crazy situation. | ||
| I'm going to try to lay it all out for you. | ||
| I'm going to try to give you the timeline of what has happened over the last three days. | ||
| Break down for you how this started, how it's accelerated. | ||
| And how at this point the California government is in a state of revolt as far as I can tell. | ||
| I mean the statements that they're making are the same. | ||
| I'm going to try to lay it all out for you. | ||
| Of a province in revolt. | ||
| It is truly beyond explanation. | ||
| You've got mobs of rioters burning police cars. | ||
| Police from various federal authorities trapped and besieged by people waving foreign flags. | ||
| While the governor and the You know, city authorities there are tweeting out advice and strategy and orders to the rioters on how they can best defeat the federal troops. | ||
| Some of which have already been deployed. | ||
| Some are staged just outside, ready to enter, but hoping that the local authorities can keep a handle on it. | ||
| But the local authorities aren't trying to keep a handle on it. | ||
| Again, we'll get into it. | ||
| We'll get into all of it. | ||
| We do have other news from around the world, but obviously we're going to be focusing primarily on the Battle of L.A. We're in contact with some people on the ground there, but obviously the rioting went until pretty late last night. | ||
| And of course, California's two hours behind us, so we'll see if any of them are awake in time to come on this show, but I'm sure throughout the day today on InfoWars, you'll be hearing from people in California involved in these riots. | ||
| You know, monitoring it and getting a lot of the videos that we're seeing. | ||
| And we have so many videos just from the last few days. | ||
| Again, it's looking and feeling has the same spirit of Black Lives Matter in 2020, the George Floyd riots that broke out across the entire country. | ||
| I wouldn't be surprised if we saw similar riots starting to break out in other cities, especially if what's happening in LA isn't quelled or is quelled with Without requisite strategy in how to deal with this thing. | ||
| This, of course, is exactly what we've told you was going to happen the entire time. | ||
| It's been obvious, and not just obvious from just a strategic, tactical overview of these people and the battle that we're in, the simmering civil war that we've been embroiled in for at least the last half decade. | ||
| But also because the people involved told us they were going to do this, and it's a very simple strategy they're rolling out. | ||
| Cause the chaos, cause the riots, cause the violence that more or less forces Trump's hand to send in the National Guard or the Marines, or in some other way, put down the unrest, and then use that as an excuse to say Donald Trump's a dictator. | ||
| Look at the way he's sending federal troops to crush this peaceful protest as the city burns all around them. | ||
| Why we have slept walked into this obvious trap is for anybody to say. | ||
| Again, there is a certain point that incompetence arises to that it cannot be incompetence anymore and it seems as though the Trump administration as As sincere as they seem to be, it just beggars belief that they didn't know this was going to happen, that they don't have a plan in place to deal with this. | ||
| And again, we'll show you clips from Gavin Newsom and various other California authorities who are making it pretty clear. | ||
| They're in a state of rebellion against the federal government. | ||
| I mean, Gavin Newsom has come out and said, we're not talking to Trump. | ||
| We don't want Trump's help, and we're not going to be cooperating. | ||
| With the federal government. | ||
| Forget Jan 6th. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is June 8th. | |
| Yeah, forget January 6th. | ||
| This actually started on June 6th, interestingly enough. | ||
| But it is a state of total insurrection, and we don't have to wonder what to do here. | ||
| This is not some sort of overwhelming conflict that it's difficult to get a hand on. | ||
| It ain't 2020, folks. | ||
| And the excuses used during 2020 to allow our cities to burn don't really count anymore. | ||
| And again, we'll do your daily dispatch and we'll get back into full-fledged coverage of this. | ||
| But off the bat, I think what everybody needs to know is this was never a protest. | ||
| This was never a protest. | ||
| And again, we'll compare and contrast to 2020 and how It's now or never to solve this issue. | ||
| This incumbent population of America that are just not Americans, that are anti-American, that are working under orders from foreign presidents. | ||
| To attack American law enforcement? | ||
| We'll get into 2020 and just how different it is. | ||
| But the primary difference, and the thing you need to understand, is this was never a protest. | ||
| This started in a long line, a continuing line of interference by activists and even some elected officials interfering with ICE actions or other federal law enforcement. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Operations. | |
| There's not a bunch of people marching down the road, waving signs, you know, demanding change only to be set upon by federal law enforcement and then the chaos breaks out then. | ||
| This all started as people showing up and interfering directly with federal operations, federal law enforcement operations in L.A. Just spiraled and spread from there. | ||
| I just want to be perfectly clear. | ||
| This was not a protest. | ||
| This was never a protest. | ||
| This started as interference by activists against law enforcement officers, and it's become a riot. | ||
| But it was never a protest. | ||
| This was never people marching peacefully to express themselves, to air their grievances against the government. | ||
| This started as direct action against federal officers, and it has devolved. | ||
| And expanded and developed into more or less a full-fledged civil war situation. | ||
| And there's no sign of slowing down and the local authorities are doing everything they can to heap gasoline on this fire. | ||
| Again, we'll do your daily dispatch. | ||
| Now we'll get back to the riots. | ||
| But just to understand as a foundational established reality, this was never a protest. | ||
| Never a protest. | ||
| So do not let them call it a protest. | ||
| And again, we'll show you just the incredible number of videos we have, not only of the violence, but of the local authorities encouraging and facilitating it. | ||
| We'll begin today as we do every day with your daily dispatch. | ||
|

|
*Bell rings* | |
| Here it is, folks, your Daily Dispatch for Monday, the 9th of June, 2025. | ||
| Israel intercepts Gaza-bound aid vessel carrying Greta Thunberg. | ||
| Detains activists. | ||
| Israeli forces intercepted and boarded the British-flagged aid vessel Madeline near Gaza on June 9, 2025, detaining 12 activists, including Greta Thunberg. | ||
| The vessel sought to deliver a small consignment of relief supplies as a gesture of protest against Israel's naval blockade, which has been in place since Hamas assumed control of Gaza in 2007. | ||
| The activists protested Israel's military offensive and restrictions on aid, while Israeli officials labeled the mission a propaganda stunt supporting Hamas. | ||
| UN Special Rapporteur Albanese reported Israeli speedboats surrounded the Madeline before boarding, during which the crew lost communication and alarm sounded as a warning. | ||
| The detention prevents delivery of aid amid warnings of famine for Gaza's 2.4 million residents, suggesting continuing tensions over the blockade in the humanitarian crisis. | ||
| This is, you know, just I guess in line with all the rest of the absurdity that we've heard. | ||
| But, you know, I would have never believed it, but go thread a Greta Thunberg. | ||
| I'm on her side now. | ||
| Since she's not whining and complaining about the sun being hot and is in fact taking action to try to stop a legitimate crime against humanity taking place. | ||
| I'm on Greta's side this time. | ||
| Again, I don't know if we'll have time to get into it later, so I'll just say now that what Israel's planning to do to Greta Thunberg is... | ||
| They're like, we've detained her and we will show her videos of Gazans torturing Israelis. | ||
| We're going to show her snuff film after snuff film until she agrees to come to her senses and support Israel. | ||
| It's pretty crazy. | ||
| So I guess, Godspeed to Greta Thunberg, who is now in the interrogation, brainwashing, IDF propaganda chamber. | ||
| Until she's been cured of her anti-Semitism. | ||
| Sort of horrifying stuff, but... | ||
| Meanwhile, Los Angeles anti-ice protesters clashed with police at fires downtown amid National Guard deployment. | ||
| On Sunday, approximately 300 members of the National Guard were deployed to Los Angeles following immigration enforcement actions and ensuing protests earlier in the week. | ||
| President Trump authorized the deployment on Saturday by invoking a legal provision to address what he described as unrest after two days of protest. | ||
| Rioting. | ||
| Demonstrations. | ||
| Demonstrations. | ||
| Again, all of these words are wrong, but I'll just read them. | ||
| Demonstrations started on Friday in central Los Angeles, later expanding to nearby Paramount and Compton, featuring confrontations with federal agents, chance opposing ICE, and efforts to obstruct border patrol vehicles. | ||
| Governor Gavin Newsom. | ||
| Again, we'll get back into that. | ||
| But along those same lines, and again adding an interesting twist to this conflict, Mexican President Sheinbaum... | ||
| Threatens U.S., saying, quote, will mobilize to stop taxes on remittances. | ||
| Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum has vowed to mobilize if the Trump administration puts a tax on remittances. | ||
| Remittances sent to Mexico have dropped to a 10-year low since Trump returned to office and threatened to drop further if a tax on them is brought in as part of the big, beautiful bill. | ||
| Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum has vowed to mobilize if the Trump administration puts taxes on remittances and an apparent threat to organized demonstrations. | ||
| In the U.S., and it appears as though this is already coming to fruition as you've got Mexican nationals waving Mexican flags, attacking American authorities on American soil in collaboration and cooperation with the local authorities there. | ||
| Again, this is, you know, a state of civil war. | ||
| We're basically in a state of civil war with foreign powers contributing to the uprising. | ||
| Actually providing the people, the on-the-ground troops, to attack American sovereignty. | ||
| Yeah, it is that big of a deal. | ||
| Meanwhile, mainstream beliefs now meet the terror watch list in the UK. | ||
| By now, if you believe Britain has taken leave of its senses, you're not alone. | ||
| The government has decided that worrying about immigration or caring about British culture might make you a terrorist. | ||
| So, the government of UK released a document called Prevent Duty Training, gov.uk, and under terrorist ideologies and extreme right-wing ideologies and right-wing terrorism, | ||
| is the support of things like, quote, cultural nationalism, where they say, if you believe Western culture is under threat from mass migration and a lack of integration by certain ethnic and cultural groups, You are a terrorist. | ||
| If you believe that the importation of millions upon millions of hostile foreigners into your country, and if you've noticed the ensuing collapse of your cultural values and national norms, then you're a terrorist, according to the official UK government statement there. | ||
| And finally, Donald Trump and Marco Rubio stumble on Air Force One's steps And boy, they're making everything they can out of this. | ||
| They're really taking this to the bank. | ||
| Donald Trump stumbled for about a quarter of a second as he was walking up the Air Force One stairs, quickly regained his balance. | ||
| Apparently Marco Rubio also stumbled after Trump, leading to various reactions online. | ||
| Trump described his fall as not inspiring and expressed hope that Rubio was not hurt. | ||
| People are pointing to this as if, as if a single... | ||
| As being compared to the litany of physical and mental, the litany of examples of mental and physical collapse that we witnessed by Joe Biden every time he went outside. | ||
| But yeah, they're taking the little moderate, I mean, we'll have to do a little compare and contrast. | ||
| We'll have to show the two videos side by side. | ||
| One of Trump going, whoopsies, better keep going, and Biden doing the same thing, but then like almost rolling down the stairs and having to be helped up, and of course taking orders from the Easter Bunny and getting lost in his own backyard and being incapable of getting through a three-syllable word without abandoning ship halfway through. | ||
| But it's a victory for the Democrats, and they're pretty short on those, so they're taking it for what it's worth. | ||
| Donald Trump tripped. | ||
| Therefore, us covering up Biden's mental decline for four years and trying to install a literal brain-dead puppet into the presidency is pretty much the same thing. | ||

| So let's, uh, I guess start with some of these videos of, uh, Gavin Newsom? | ||
| Or should I lay down the Again, making the most outrageous statements. | ||
| You can imagine. | ||
| I'll probably have to take your calls on this as well, and we can roll some of these videos as B-roll, but here's the timeline. | ||
| The riots in California, especially in Los Angeles County, began on June 6th, 2025, primarily in response to immigration and customs enforcement raids targeting undocumented immigrants. | ||
| And of course, this follows in... | ||
| The plans have long been laid for this violence to break out. | ||
| And we've seen incrementally as activists as well as Democratic officials, mayors and judges and all sorts of other people in positions of authority, city councilors. | ||
| Actually themselves, not just encouraged, but got involved in so-called protests against ICE, which were not protests in any sense of the word, but were instead direct action with people confronting, and in some cases physically attacking, the federal agents carrying out their lawful orders. | ||
| And we said at the time that this first started happening, city councilors and judges and all sorts of other people, Leading groups of, in some cases citizens, in some cases foreign actors, to confront the federal authorities. | ||
| We said at the time, you've got to make an example of these people. | ||
| You've got to stop this now. | ||
| And this is sort of the trap that people always fall into. | ||
| For some reason, we're in the mindset of like, well, just use a soft touch as long as it's possible. | ||
| I mean, we've seen charges being dropped against people. | ||
| Some of them are charged, some of them are let off. | ||
| Certainly none of them experience any negative consequence yet, maybe once they go to trial, but we'll see if that even happens. | ||
| And for some reason we're in this idea of like, well, well, you know, if it's just council members, you know, city councilmen and... | ||
| This shouldn't happen. | ||
| Naughty you, but, like, you know, we'll give you a warning this time. | ||
| But let's not see it happen again. | ||
| And then they accelerate. | ||
| And so then the enforcement has to be stepped up a little bit, but it's like, for some reason we're in this mindset of like, allow it to happen and then come in and, This is stupid and wrong and obvious. | ||
| What this pattern is going to lead to. | ||
| Greater acceleration. | ||
| Greater escalation of the violence. | ||
| The actual proper, responsible, peaceful, merciful thing to do is to crack down before it gets to that point. | ||
| Don't let the fire spread. | ||
| Let the violence and rioting Take hold of the whole city so it makes your job infinitely more difficult to wear a problem that could have been handled with a very small number of federal agents going in and arresting the ringleaders of this, stamping out the sparks before they actually take flame. | ||
| You'd gone in and put your foot down, said, well, listen, we're not standing for this. | ||
| And the moment this sort of insurrection activity rears its head, we're going to stomp it into the dirt. | ||
| Then you wouldn't have gotten to this point where now they're having to stage 500 Marines ready for deployment, deploy the National Guard, see actual running battles in the street with people waving foreign flags on American soil, throwing rocks at police and fireworks at police horses. | ||
| Again, we're saying we're showing just a, a tiny sampling of the, We've got to break ourselves of the mindset that we are somehow obligated to allow this to take place. | ||
| That only once the violence breaks out and the terrorists become entrenched, And create a, you know, an autonomous zone in downtown LA. | ||
| Only then will we react. | ||
| We should be reacting the instant this little, you know, the spark of insurrection gets going. | ||
| Stomp it out before it becomes a raging inferno. | ||
| Because then it's easy to deal with. | ||
| And you can head them off at the pass. | ||
| We didn't do that. | ||
| And now we're paying the price for it. | ||
| And seeing the consequences. | ||
| And basically sleepwalking into this trap. | ||
| We'll be right back. | ||
| Welcome back, folks. | ||
| Three days of rioting has set L.A. on fire. | ||
| Tons of injuries being reported. | ||
| Marines being staged, ready for deployment. | ||
| National Guard and local law enforcement in a running battle with Mexican nationals. | ||
| And other foreign groups, again, foreign flags being waived. | ||
| And while this was imminently predictable, as we did predict it, and we knew this was going to happen, and we can also predict where it goes from here, the riots, the so-called protests, the direct action, which again, never started as Americans marching and holding signs, only later to devolve into Riotous chaos. | ||
| No, this all started with groups of activists, including legal aliens, interfering with and attacking ICE agents carrying out their lawful orders. | ||
| Again, to even frame this as a protest is inaccurate and deceptive. | ||
| As crazy as it is, seeing some of these videos, seeing the madness taking over LA streets right now, It's the response from the local authorities that is truly beyond belief. | ||
| Truly unbelievable what we're witnessing today. | ||
| As again, these people are not American in any sense of the word. | ||
| Any sense of the word. | ||
| They're waving foreign flags. | ||
| They're fighting for foreigners. | ||
| They're burning the American flag. | ||
| Whether this is an insurrection or an invasion or some sort of militaristic combination of both, it could be handled easily, easily, if not for the collaboration and cooperation of the local authorities there. | ||
| Again, I'll show you the responses on X from Gavin Newsom and others. | ||
| But again, I'm just... | ||
| And I know we have these videos that we're going to get to. | ||
| But just let me remind you that the day after the election, the day after the election, on November 7th, 2024, Governor Gavin Newsom called a special legislative meeting with the sole intent and purpose of bolstering legal resources and preparing potential challenges. | ||
| They created a fund to block and use lawfare to interrupt the activity of the deployment of things like ICE rounding up illegal immigrants. | ||
| They have been preparing for this, encouraging this, funding this for the last several months. | ||
| The build-up to this has been incremental but accelerating with Democrat authorities actively encouraging And in some cases participating in the interference. | ||
| And knowing that if they can provoke an overwhelming response from the Trump administration, they can make political hay out of that. | ||
| They can frame it as authoritarian. | ||
| Now where this goes exactly is hard to tell, but let's go to these videos of Gavin Newsom. | ||
| First we'll go to clip number 13 here. | ||
| This is Gavin Newsom talking about who's involved in this and what they're doing. | ||
| Again, you just have to hear it. | ||
| You just have to hear it. | ||
| Let's go to clip 13. Folks that are taking advantage of this. | ||
| These aren't peaceful protesters. | ||
| A lot of these folks, a lot of great people out there doing the right thing. | ||
| But you get these surgeon groups coming in, sort of these anarchists that are in there to create real problems. | ||
| And they're just playing right into Donald Trump's hand. | ||
| And they need to be called out. | ||
| They need to be arrested. | ||
| It is wrong to destroy other people's property. | ||
| And it is wrong to create the conditions that only exacerbate this. | ||
| But Donald Trump, at the end of the day, is the sponsor of these conditions. | ||
| Donald Trump is the sponsor of these conditions. | ||
| It's Donald Trump's fault that there are Mexican nationals waving Mexican flags, throwing bricks at police cars, setting AI cars on fire. | ||
| That's Trump's fault. | ||
| I don't need to tell you how absurd that claim is, but he only doubled down and went even further. | ||
| Let's go to clip 18 here. | ||
| This is Gavin Newsom daring Tom Homan to come arrest him for aiding and abetting illegal aliens inside the state of California. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
| Take your hands off these poor people. | ||
| They're just trying to live their lives, man. | ||
| Trying to live their lives, paying their taxes. | ||
| Been here 10 years. | ||
| The fear, the horror. | ||
| The hell is this guy? | ||
| Come after me. | ||
| Arrest me. | ||
| Let's just get it over with. | ||
| Tough guy. | ||
| You know? | ||
| I don't give a damn. | ||
| But I care about my community. | ||
| I care about this community. | ||
| The hell are they doing? | ||
| These guys need to grow up. | ||
| They need to stop. | ||
| And we need to push back. | ||
| And I'm sorry to be so clear, but that kind of bloviating is exhausting. | ||
| So, Tom, arrest me. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The perception is that... | |
| No, but you should go arrest him. | ||
| No, you actually should, though. | ||
| Not a joke. | ||
| This is a challenge. | ||
| This is Newsweek. | ||
| This is New York Post. | ||
| Governor Newsom adds fuel to fire. | ||
| Dares Trump supporters are Tom Homan to arrest him amid violent anti-ice riots. | ||
| From Infowars.com, Tom, arrest me, let's go. | ||
| Newsom taunts Homan and Trump as riots engulfed L.A. Newsom claims the Trump administration is deliberately seeking to create a crisis to justify an authoritarian clampdown. | ||
| Governor Gavin Newsom taunted border czar Tom Homan and President Trump, urging Homan to arrest him as anti-deportation riots continue for a third day in Los Angeles. | ||
| Speaking to MSNBC, Newsom said he believed the escalating anti-deportation riots, which have seen explosives used against federal agents, are a, quote, manufactured crisis being used by the Trump administration to inflame tensions. | ||
| And allow a heavy response. | ||
| So what has actually happened here? | ||
| What has actually happened? | ||
| ICE went to arrest illegal aliens, and now there are riots. | ||
| How could you possibly frame this as Trump's doing, other than just asserting it baselessly like Gavin Newsom just did? | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| In response to a threat by border czar Tom Homan to have him arrested for obstructing federal agents, Newsom responded defiantly, saying, come after me, arrest me, let's get it over with. | ||
| Tough guy, I don't give a damn, but I care about my community, I care about this community, this kind of bloviating is exhausting, so Tom, arrest me, let's go. | ||
| So we're all on the same page. | ||
| So the good news is we're all on the same page. | ||
| Left and right is saying to the Trump administration, enough bloviating, enough talking, enough words. | ||
| J.D. Vance, others. | ||
| I'll show you other statements from Trump as well. | ||
| It's a little different this time. | ||
| It's a little different this time. | ||
| We're seeing in ways, in parts, a replay of 2020. | ||
| Things are very different this time. | ||
| And tweets about law and order are not going to cut it anymore. | ||
| In fact, I think I speak for a lot of people when I say, We don't want to hear it. | ||
| We're not going to read it. | ||
| It's a lie. | ||
| Until you can show us that you mean business, the words mean less than nothing to us. | ||
| Cash Patel, J.D. Vance, Donald Trump, Tom Homan, they've all come out with very strident words. | ||
| That's all, just words. | ||
| They're like, we are not going to tolerate this. | ||
| But you are tolerating it. | ||
| But you are tolerating it. | ||
| Allowing it to happen while speaking out against it, still tolerating it. | ||
| You're still tolerating it. | ||
| Don't tell us you're not going to tolerate it. | ||
| Show us you're not tolerating it. | ||
| You show us you're not tolerating it by no longer tolerating it. | ||
| By sending in the troops and arresting everybody. | ||
| Arresting all these people. | ||
| Arrest Governor Newsom. | ||
| I mean... | ||
| invaders, foreign actors being encouraged by their president. | ||
| As the president of Mexico, Claudia Scheinbaum, says we will mobilize in the streets of America. | ||
| To stop the actions of the Trump campaign. | ||
| And then you've got the local authorities in communication with, even openly in communication, like on their public Twitter, giving advice, giving orders to the rioters, to the foreign invaders, giving them advice and orders on how to defeat the federal forces. | ||
| You've got federal forces trying to impose order. | ||
| And the local government officials doing everything they can to prevent that from happening. | ||
| You should probably arrest him. | ||
| You should probably arrest him. | ||
| Let's go now to this clip of Donald Trump in response to some of these more outrageous demands. | ||
| In fact, before we do that, let's go to clip 31 because this is a little bit more of Newsom. | ||
| Before he begs Tom Homan to arrest him, let's go to clip number 31 here. | ||
| I mean, you're seeing these authoritarian tendencies now are being acted out by this administration. | ||
| And we're case in point as it relates to nationalizing, federalizing the National Guard, threatening now to put in Marines. | ||
| So I hope these people would pause and just consider. | ||
| Now, some of them, they want that kind of chaos. | ||
| Some ways, they're adjacent to where Donald Trump is. | ||
| But the peaceful protesters, we want to keep them safe. | ||
| We want them to exercise their fundamental rights. | ||
| We want to keep those that are enforcing the laws in a respectful and responsible way also safe. | ||
| Let's just pause there. | ||
| Again, it could not be more simple. | ||
| They're trying to go to Trump into using force so they can frame it as authoritarian, so they can inspire more protests in more cities. | ||
| So they can stretch the federal forces thin. | ||
| This is an act of war against the federal government. | ||
| I really don't know what else it could be framed as. | ||
| These people are not American. | ||
| They do not have rights as Americans. | ||
| They do not have the right to protest our government, and they're not protesting even if they had the right. | ||
| None of this, again, none of this was a protest. | ||
| None of this was peaceful. | ||
| It never started as people just waving signs. | ||
| It started as interference against ICE operations, and it has snowballed. | ||
| To takeovers, you know, taking over parts of L.A. to physically attacking the police and other authorities there with explosives in some cases. | ||
| I mean, just to, you know, get another idea, clip 33 here. | ||
| Rioters set off fireworks next to police on horseback. | ||
| So again, I mean, this is, they're using explosives to attack police. | ||
| Do you want to use a soft touch here? | ||
| Is this the type of situation that's just going to fizzle out as long as you don't, as long as the authorities don't exacerbate it or accelerate it? | ||
| Let's go to clip 34 here. | ||
| This is Donald Trump responding to this, and I believe there's some of Alex Jones commenting from his show yesterday. | ||
| This all rests on Donald Trump. | ||
| It is entirely up to him and his administration to handle this aptly. | ||
| The fact that they have sleptwalked into this is unacceptable already. | ||
| They knew this was going to happen. | ||
| We knew this was going to happen. | ||
| This was always going to be the play. | ||
| The fact is that these types of raids that are going on right now should have been happening for the last four months. | ||
| And it's only because nothing has happened so far. | ||
| There have been no raids. | ||
| There's been no flood the zone. | ||
| If they had done that right off the bat and continued to do it up until now, these people would have never been able to get their feet under them, would have never been able to mobilize in the way that they have. | ||
| Because the Trump administration has gone soft, just tried to be listening to these judges and playing the little games as if we haven't learned our lesson yet. | ||
| Over the last five years of this type of interference. | ||
| But now when they try to do it, you have all these groups mobilizing and trying to prevent it and the problem being so much bigger than it would have been if we had just dealt with this right out. | ||
| But here's Trump's statement and some commentary from Alex Jones. | ||
|
unidentified
|
watch federal charges if they stand in the way of the deportation something that holden may have been tested stand in the way of law and order yeah they will face charges he says we'll face charges if it's local authority standing in the way of law Donald Trump has released a truth post. | |
| I'm gonna read it to you now and then show you some clips of Donald Trump responding to the destruction, the burning of Los Angeles. | ||
| Donald Trump says A once great American city, Los Angeles, has been invaded and occupied by illegal aliens and criminals. | ||
| Now violent insurrectionist mobs are swarming and attacking our federal agents to try and stop our deportation operations. | ||
| But these lawless riots only strengthen our resolve. | ||
| I am directing Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and Attorney General Pam Bondi, in coordination with all other relevant departments and agencies, to take all such action necessary to liberate Los Angeles from the migrant invasion and put an end to these migrant riots. | ||
| Order will be restored, the illegals will be expelled, and Los Angeles will be set free. | ||
| Thank you for your attention to this matter. | ||
| I'm going to show you several of these clips of him back-to-back, clips 93, 94, 95, and 96, responding to questions with Marco Rubio by his side as to what the hell is happening in Los Angeles, California. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We'll be watching it very closely. | |
| And when they spit at people, you know, they spit. | ||
| That's their new thing. | ||
| They spit. | ||
| And worse, you know what they throw at them, right? | ||
| And when that happens, I have a little statement. | ||
| They say, they spit, we hit. | ||
| And I told them. | ||
| Nobody's going to spit on our police officers. | ||
| Nobody's going to spit on our military, which they do is a common thing. | ||
| They get up to them this far away, and then they start spitting in their face. | ||
| If that happens, they get hit very hard. | ||
| What is the bar for sending Marines? | ||
| The U.S. is what I think it is. | ||
| I mean, if we see danger to our country and to our citizens, It's about law and order. | ||
| Even if you're not planning to invoke that Insurrection Act, do you still plan to send troops? | ||
| Well, we're gonna have troops everywhere. | ||
| We're not gonna let this happen to our country. | ||
| We're not gonna let our country be torn apart like it was under Biden and his auto pen. | ||
| California officials could face federal charges if they stand in the way of the deportation, something that Poland may have suggested. | ||
| If officials stand in the way of law and order, yeah, they will face it. | ||
| So again, he's saying they'll face charges if they stand in the way of law and order. | ||
| They already are standing in the way of law and order. | ||
| They already should be facing charges. | ||
| A couple frustrating things about this. | ||
| One, knowing that this was going to happen already, and I don't understand why they aren't treating this like the war that it is. | ||
| Here's Donald Trump. | ||
| Yesterday night, Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Bash should apologize to the people of Los Angeles for the absolutely horrible job that they've done. | ||
| And this now includes the ongoing LA riots. | ||
| These are not protesters. | ||
| These are troublemakers and insurrectionists. | ||
| Remember, no masks. | ||
| He's saying no masks. | ||
| It's illegal to riot with a mask. | ||
| And that, of course, leads us into the desired outcome of this, which, as Laura Loomer put forward yesterday, Is acting like we need Palantir to handle this. | ||
| Say, oh my gosh, people are rioting in LA. | ||
| I guess we need to, you know, roll out the AI facial recognition master database to monitor and, you know, surveil everybody forever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's like, what's clip 37? | |
| Let's go clip 37. Okay, this is LA Mayor Karen Bass. | ||
| Insisting she has everything under control. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
| But people should also exercise that right peacefully. | ||
| We do not want to play into the administration's hands. | ||
| We're working with officials. | ||
| We're organizing resources. | ||
| But what we're seeing in Los Angeles is chaos that is provoked by the administration. | ||
| When you raid Home Depot and workplaces, when you tear parents and children apart, and when you run armored caravans through our streets, you cause fear and you cause panic. | ||
| And deploying federalized troops is a dangerous escalation. | ||
| But we need to be real about this. | ||
| This is about another agenda. | ||
| It's not about public safety. | ||
| There's clearly no plan and there is clearly no policy. | ||
| I want the people of Los Angeles to know that we stand with all Angelenos no matter where you were born. | ||
| The First Amendment right gives you the ability again to protest peacefully. | ||
| But it does not give you the right to be violent, to create chaos, or to vandalize property. | ||
| And that will not be tolerated. | ||
| So I call on all Angelenos to continue expressing your right, your anger, your outrage, but to do it peacefully. | ||
| And I just have to say that all of you were there Friday. | ||
| Everybody knows what happened Friday. | ||
| A workplace, several workplaces were targeted and raids took place. | ||
| Yeah, there's Laura Loomer. | ||
| Time to deploy Palantir Tech to Los Angeles to deal with the illegals. | ||
| You know you'd love to see it. | ||
| You're lying if you say you wouldn't. | ||
| It's so not necessary. | ||
| They're out on the street throwing fireworks at police. | ||
| Quick run to Palantir? | ||
| No, arrest them. | ||
| Fire back at them. | ||
| What would we need Palantir for? | ||
| They're right there in front of us in the physical reality. | ||
| We need to scan their faces and put it in a database with their Facebook post from 14 years ago so we can scan it for anti-Semitism. | ||
| That's not what we're doing here. | ||
| We need to put down the rebellion. | ||
| Very simply. | ||

|
Very simply. | |
| This is ABC reporter Mark Brown, clip 35, saying not to bring law enforcement to the LA riots because it's just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn. | ||
| A fiery but fun protest. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Large group of people. | |
| It could turn very volatile if you move law enforcement in there in the wrong way and turn what is just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn into a massive confrontation and altercation between officers and demonstrators. | ||
| Am I wrong here? | ||
| It's so insane, I don't even know how to confront it. | ||
| Law enforcement is carrying out a lawful operation to arrest criminals who have broken the law. | ||
| Other people interfere with that. | ||
| Attack the cops. | ||
| It spirals into a riot. | ||
| Police respond. | ||
| Cars are being burnt. | ||
| Stores are being looted. | ||
| People are being attacked. | ||
| Rocks and explosives are being thrown at the police. | ||
| And they're saying this is the police's fault for trying to establish law and order. | ||
| This is playing into the hands of Trump, like Trump wants all of this chaos, like it was him that brought in 40 million illegal immigrants. | ||
| It's so absurd, I don't even know how to argue against it. | ||
| It's the police's fault for accelerating this. | ||
| I mean, is there any situation in which police can be involved that you couldn't say that? | ||
| Gee, if the police had never shown up, I never would have shot the 7-Eleven cashier. | ||
| I was just trying to do a little bit of robbing. | ||
| Express my First Amendment by putting a gun to his head and stealing all the cash out of the drawer. | ||
| It was only when the police came that everything went down. | ||
| Stupid police. | ||
| It's their fault that I shot the guy. | ||
| I mean... | ||
| There's no talking to these people. | ||
| Now in the next segment, I'll get into just the primary differences because I feel like almost both sides are almost stuck in this loop of 2020. | ||
| Like we never broke out of the Black Lives Matter era. | ||
| Like this is just a continuation of the George Floyd riots. | ||
| This is very different. | ||
| A lot worse. | ||
| And the excuses for an action are significantly fewer. | ||
| We'll get into that and I'll show you other statements from things like the county supervisor. | ||
| Han saying basically the federal government has to back down or else the rioters aren't going to stop. | ||
| Like, yeah, that's how war works. | ||
| You surrender or we'll keep fighting. | ||
| That's what they're saying. | ||
| These are police. | ||
| The video you're seeing here trying to put out a fire. | ||
| One of the police cruisers on fire. | ||
| The people on the overpass. | ||
| are throwing rocks and scooters and flammable material down on the police who are having to hide under the overpass as they're trapped. | ||
| In other places over the weekend, ICE agents were trapped in a building being besieged. | ||
| This could be the breakout of the Second American Civil War. | ||
| and it's entirely up to Trump Attic. | ||

|
All right, welcome back to "Odd's Game of Recovery" in the Abbey of Los Angeles. | |
| This is different than what we've experienced Obviously, LA routinely descends into widespread chaotic violence. | ||
| Happened in 1992. | ||
| George H.W. Bush invoked the Insurrection Act in order to put that down. | ||
| Got the famous image of the rooftop Koreans fighting for their lives against the proto-Black Lives Matter. | ||
| Riots. | ||
| Of course, had riots in L.A. in 2013, riots in L.A. in 2020, and now we have riots in L.A. in 2024. | ||
| Frankly, I think we can be happily surprised by the fact that it's only in L.A. right now. | ||
| The goal for these people is to inspire this type of action in every major city in the United States, making 2020 look like a walk through the park. | ||
| In 2020, this is my post in response to Ramsey Paul. | ||
| He said the vibe has changed since 2020. | ||
| People are no longer in a mood for riots. | ||
| If the rioters should be shot dead by the National Guard, most of America would erupt in cheers. | ||
| He says, I know I would. | ||
| And the primary thing to understand is that for all intents and purposes, these people are not American. | ||
| I mean, the people rioting right now. | ||
| They're foreign nationals. | ||
| They're from a foreign country. | ||
| They're waving foreign flags. | ||
| They aren't American by birth, by blood, by inclination, by loyalty. | ||
| They're just not American. | ||
| Some people might be American on paper. | ||
| Some of the people involved here might technically have an American passport or permission from America to be here temporarily. | ||
| They're not American. | ||
| They're just not. | ||
| That would be a primary difference. | ||
| My response to this in laying out the differences between now and 2020 was this. | ||
| In 2020, America sat on her hands because of a few different circumstances. | ||
| The COVID psyop trauma, the lockdown, the brutality of the George Floyd video, the fact that the riots could be framed as Americans pushing back on their own government, but most importantly of all was the election. | ||
| That loomed over everything that happened in the summer of 2020. | ||
| We believed that all we had to do was stick it out until November, when we would have our real victory. | ||
| We also understood that more overt action by Trump might have cost him the election, so we understood his inaction, even if we didn't agree with it. | ||
| None of those things apply here. | ||
| It's foreigners writing against American law. | ||
| There's no lockdown or election mitigating things. | ||
| Plus, since 2020, we've seen them steal the election, rob us of that final victory. | ||
| And we've seen the way that they went after patriots following January 6th, which really was the circumstance that they're trying to frame the riots in LA as. | ||
| In other words, and I'll show you again, more and more statements from Los Angeles authorities like Governor Newsom saying, don't take Trump's bait. | ||
| You're playing into Trump's hands by doing this. | ||
| As if Trump wants the chaos. | ||
| As if Trump wants to be authoritarian. | ||
| He just wants law and order. | ||
| He just wants... | ||
| And that, of course, has to be maintained as the ultimate goal. | ||
| And we would actually be working against our own interests by focusing too much on getting the arrest of the violent protesters. | ||
| Just mass deportations has to be the ultimate outcome of this. | ||
| Here they are, again, throwing flammable material down onto the police car, throwing scooters and all sorts of other heavy metal objects at them, throwing explosives at Mounted police. | ||
| We've seen what happens when the left is in charge. | ||
| And they throw grandfathers and grandmothers in jail for two decades with terrorism enhancement charges. | ||
| And the people did nothing violent whatsoever. | ||
| We saw on January 6th the way a totally peaceful crowd was set upon by police firing explosives into the crowd. | ||
| Driving them forward and attacking them. | ||
| That's not what happened here. | ||
| LA was never a peaceful protest. | ||
| It started with them attacking federal officers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Welcome back, folks. | |
| This is the American Journal. | ||
| We're in a very precarious situation with what's going on in LA right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Frankly, I think it's... | |
| This is the playbook. | ||
| This has been the playbook the entire time. | ||
| We've always known this was coming. | ||
| We've been staying for months to be prepared for the Summer of Love Part 2, but it's pretty different. | ||
| It's pretty different this time. | ||
| Again, under the George Floyd protest, as violent, as fiery as they were, they did start as protests. | ||
| We always acknowledge that. | ||
| You have a right, as an American, to go on the street, wave a sign, express yourself, even if it's a little inconvenient for the authorities that are there, as long as it's peaceful. | ||
| And that's how it was always framed, and that's how a lot of people engaged with it. | ||
| There were a lot of people out there that saw the George Floyd video and were horrified by what it appeared to show. | ||
| By all appearances, it looked like police murdered a man in cold blood. | ||
| Of course, we know from the medical investigation and the wider context of the videos, he was freaking out because he was overdosing on fentanyl. | ||
| He was trying to hide from police, and we know that whole story. | ||
| But regardless, during 2020, the perception was enough to encourage people Seeing this, being fed lies about the rate of innocent black men being killed by police in America. | ||
| At the end of the day, 2020 at least started as Americans lawfully protesting a perceived injustice. | ||
| Again, all of that devolved. | ||
| It became an excuse for violence. | ||
| I'm not justifying anything from 2020, but I am pointing out the differences. | ||
| They had Americans, again, being lied to about the condition of racism in America, being shown a video that inspired them emotionally to react to this. | ||
| At the end of the day, most of them were in fact Americans protesting against the American government. | ||
| This is different. | ||
| This is foreign forces on American soil waving foreign flags and attacking the American authorities. | ||
| The inciting incident of all of this was not some brutal video that appeared to show a murder being carried out by police, but rather a raid of illegal immigrants by ICE. | ||
| That was violently confronted by activists and the illegal immigrants themselves. | ||
| As you have various traitors within these organizations feeding locations of raids to media outlets who then publish them and get activists to go try to bodily stop it. | ||
| Very different. | ||
| This is a very different situation. | ||
| Again, you have the COVID lockdowns in 2020. | ||
| People afraid to leave their homes. | ||
| No one's going to respond, you know, on their own if they're traumatized and locked down and psyoped by COVID the whole time. | ||
| You had the election coming up. | ||
| And I know personally, and we said this over and over when covering it in 2020, which was like, yeah, we'd love to have Trump just send out the National Guard and stomp this stuff into the dust, protect our statues and the museums that were looted and the stores that were burned down. | ||
| He had every right. | ||
| To unleash the National Guard, but he was running the calculus of political perception. | ||
| And he knew that this was a major, you know, psychological operation that was being carried out, making people think that these were, you know, peaceful protesters just protesting against an authoritarian government. | ||
| And he knew, all right, if I unleash the full power of the American military, I might lose the election. | ||
| We just need to get through to November, and I know the voters as well. | ||
| I'd love to have them just stomp them out, but this is all a scam. | ||
| It's all by design. | ||
| They're trying to get the big response so that people can feel like they're standing up against authoritarianism by voting against Trump. | ||
| Now, then they stole the election anyway. | ||
| They stole it anyway. | ||
| So going back in time, I think a lot more people would be on the side of unleash hell against them. | ||
| None of that applies now. | ||
| None of that applies. | ||
| We just got Trump elected. | ||
| He's got three and a half years left in office. | ||
| There is no excuse not to crack down on this. | ||
| No electoral, oh well we have to manage perception because this could cause backlash and keep us out. | ||
| None of that. | ||
| We just elected Trump to deal with this situation in particular. | ||
| His administration needs to shut up and show up. | ||
| Needs to stop talking. | ||
| Start doing. | ||
| Just you need to do it again. | ||
| Got people like J.D. Vance saying, we're not going to tolerate this anymore. | ||
| You are tolerating it. | ||
| It is being tolerated as we speak. | ||
| And that was my response on X to J.D. Vance was, we'll know what you will and won't tolerate when we see the news reports of the mass arrest. | ||
| Until we see the news reports of the mass arrest, Order will be restored. | ||
| These types of statements, we're not going to take it. | ||
| We're not going to tolerate it. | ||
| These people will face charges. | ||
| This is all hot air. | ||
| This is nothingness. | ||
| It's meant to calm us down until we see the effects. | ||
| We're not going to believe you. | ||
| I mean, look at the scenes that we're showing. | ||
| And we can just go down the list. | ||
| Just play B-roll. | ||
| I can just play B-roll. | ||
| Every minute of this show. | ||
| It's a war zone. | ||
| LA is descending into a war zone. | ||
| Now, President of El Salvador, Naya Bukele, tweeted out yesterday this simple statement that says a lot. | ||
| Quote, it's all by design. | ||
| It's all by design. | ||
| Now what Bukele is not saying is that it's fake. | ||
| He's not saying this is false. | ||
|

|
Acting. | |
| That's not real. | ||
| It's just by design. | ||
| It's very real, but it's also by design. | ||
| I mean, look at this. | ||
| Throwing bricks at cop cars while they're driving at like 60 miles an hour. | ||
| They're trying to kill the police. | ||
| And there's video after video about this. | ||
| It's been going on for three days. | ||
| This, I mean, I almost just want to make a skit out of this post because... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| They have a crisis embroiling their city. | ||
| They have mobs of people burning cars, burning cop cars, burning private cars, burning storefronts, looting. | ||
| And every authority in California, when making a statement about this, It's treating it like that's not happening, but then instead they're having to have like disaster response to the police responding to the disaster. | ||
| It's mind-blowing. | ||
| But Gavin Newsom tweets out, joined LAPDHQ, LASDHQ, and state of emergency officials in LA as we respond to protests provoked by chaos from Washington. | ||
| Chaos from Washington. | ||
| Like there aren't Chaos from Washington. | ||
| It's only true in the sense that Washington let these people in in the first place under Joe Biden. | ||
| He says, we're here to keep the peace, not play into Trump's political games. | ||
| And like the skid you'd almost want to see is just, you know, got all these L.A. police officers and sheriffs. | ||
| You can just imagine them like, okay, the protesters have moved to the 405 at Almeida Street. | ||
| We're blocking off there. | ||
| We've already got the traffic being diverted further north on the 405 to just try to clear that whole area. | ||
| And Gavin Newsom's like, yeah, that'll show Trump. | ||
| That'll show Trump, won't it? | ||
| He won't be able to do anything with that. | ||
| And they're like, yeah, okay. | ||
| Troop, thank you, Governor. | ||
| Anyway, so we're going to try to move that crowd this direction. | ||
| We want to mitigate all of the effects. | ||
| He's like, yeah, you know, and Trump's not going to let this happen, is he? | ||
| We're not going to let Trump do that. | ||
| And it's like, dude, we're trying to solve a crisis. | ||
| There's an actual crisis happening here. | ||
| We're actually trying to solve it. | ||
| Shut up about Trump. | ||
| Trump has nothing to do with this other than he could solve this immediately if we don't. | ||
| And we're not. | ||
| So he's going to solve it. | ||
| There's just something so blatantly Hypocritical, the cognitive dissonance. | ||
| I don't even know how to describe it. | ||
| But the idea that there's a crisis happening because of the people on the ground there, and the people who are supposed to solve it aren't solving it. | ||
| They're politicizing it by saying that Trump is politicizing it. | ||
| When Trump is just actually responding to the actual chaos on the ground, it's just nonsense. | ||
| This is just utter nonsense. | ||
| We're not going to play into Trump's political games. | ||
| Just solve the crisis. | ||
| They don't want to solve the crisis. | ||
| They're in fact doing everything they possibly can to encourage and exacerbate and facilitate the crisis. | ||
| As again, we've been discussing for the past six months as these cities have deliberately fostered and created this entire situation. | ||
| Again, Los Angeles, don't take Trump's bait. | ||
| Trump is baiting them. | ||
| I mean, what? | ||
| Trump wants chaos. | ||
| And he's instigated violence. | ||
| Those who assault law enforcement or cause property damage will risk arrests. | ||
| Stay peaceful. | ||
| Stay focused. | ||
| Don't give him the excuse he's looking for. | ||
| Again, what more is there to say than what the hell? | ||
| the hell is he talking about? | ||
| Now, in reality, what he's actually saying here is he's saying... | ||
| I'm going to let you keep burning things. | ||
| As long as the federal government doesn't get involved, you will be untouchable. | ||
| I will protect you. | ||
| He's issuing orders to the rioters, to the foreign mob burning American police cars. | ||
| He's issuing them orders saying, hey, stand down a little bit. | ||
| Don't let it go too far. | ||
| Not in terms of like, because this is bad for the people of California. | ||
| Not in terms of, I'm the governor. | ||
| I'm here to protect the people. | ||
| I'm issuing a warning to the protesters. | ||
| Keep it peaceful or you're going to go down. | ||
| No, he's telling them be cognizant of the tripwire of federal involvement and don't cross that because we want to defeat these guys. | ||
| We have to do it subtly. | ||
| And how many times have I mentioned this concept of The left trying to destroy things, dismantle things in a way that doesn't respond to pushback. | ||
| Maybe the crew members. | ||
| I was covering something on Friday where they explicitly said that. | ||
| I can't remember what it was, but it was something that was like, we want to make sure to be doing this, but not in a way that will inspire pushback. | ||
| And that's all that he's saying here. | ||
| So again, I read this as... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| And every one of these statements has that character. | ||
| I mean, that's the way it's being framed. | ||
| It's not being framed as, I'm the governor of California, don't worry, peaceful citizens, I'll make sure that this is handled correctly. | ||
| He's not saying to the protesters, hey, this is unacceptable, you have to go home. | ||
| Peaceful protest is fine, but what you're doing is violence and we're not going to stand for it. | ||
| No, he's saying we will stand for it. | ||
| We are standing for it. | ||
| And we will continue to fight for you and allow you to be above the law. | ||
| But if you go too far, then the feds are going to get involved and I can't protect you anymore. | ||
| So issuing strategic tactical advice to the people warring against federal officers. | ||
| He says this. | ||
| Despite protests already being managed by LAPDHQ, President Trump is escalating the situation by threatening to deploy roughly 500 active-duty Marines to the streets of Los Angeles. | ||
| Donald Trump is starting to escalate the situation by deploying troops and maintaining order. | ||
| Notice he doesn't say, despite the protests being... | ||
| Despite the riots being confronted by local police. | ||
| He says despite protests already being managed by LAPD. | ||
| They're being managed. | ||
| They're being directed. | ||
| They're being controlled. | ||
| They're being allowed by the LAPD. | ||
| I don't think I'm overstating it when I say California is in a state of revolt right now. | ||
| Is in a condition of rebellion. | ||
| We want to talk about insurrection. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| We've got a longer video, but I'll play just at least the first few minutes. | ||
| This is the county administrator of LA. | ||
| I have so many videos, I can't even find it now. | ||
| What's the longest video we got? | ||
| It's like 15 minutes or something. | ||
| I've got to find it. | ||
| 1243, it looks like. | ||
| L.A. County Supervisor Janice Hahn, listen to her on local news, respond to the widespread continuing chaos and violence on the streets of L.A. and tell me that this is not an enemy combatant in a civil war. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hearing that we have Supervisor Janice Hahn on the line right now, can you hear us? | |
| Yes, yes I can. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Supervisor Han, thank you so much for joining us. | ||
| As you're watching what's unfolding right now in downtown, can you give us your thoughts? | ||
| Well, first of all, I think I'm echoing what everybody is calling for at this point, and that's, of course, for a peaceful protest, and I know people are being asked to go home. | ||
| And we're hoping that that happens in a calm way. | ||
| But what I'm really angry about is that, you know, this was all provoked by the overreach by our federal government to come into our communities. | ||
| You know, the ICE agents and now the National Guard really causing fear and anxiety among our people. | ||
| So worried and afraid and elected officials were trying to stand up for their communities and getting shot with rubber bullets. | ||
| So my call tonight is for a retreat. | ||
| If we want this to really de-escalate, the federal government needs to retreat. | ||
| Just step away. | ||
| Let's take a breath. | ||
| Come back, meet with our sheriffs, meet with our LAPD, meet with our governor, and let's decide how you're going to do these raids, because the way you're doing them is just to continue. | ||
| And rightly so. | ||
| I'm kind of calling on Chrissy Noem, our Homeland Security Secretary, who I served in Congress with, to show some compassion and kindness in how they're doing this. | ||
| If they're going to continue doing this, then we are going to keep having this kind of crowd reaction. | ||
| So there she is justifying it and saying the only way to deescalate is for the federal troops to retreat. | ||
| In other words, the rioting and the fighting will continue until you surrender. | ||
| Yeah, that's how wars work. | ||
| This is like a war, and that's an enemy commander. | ||
| And yes, there is an additional level of this sickening sweetness of it all, right? | ||
| That is just, it's a facade just barely covering the seething, violent rebellion that's actually taking place. | ||
| She's like, of course, we want people to go home. | ||
| We want it to remain peaceful. | ||
| But what I'm really mad about is the Trump administration sending in these soldiers to harass and assault. | ||
| California residents. | ||
| Again, sending ICE agents to arrest illegal aliens. | ||
| Where's the provocation? | ||
| Where's the incitement to chaos? | ||
| Where's the overreach? | ||
| Federal officers arresting people for federal crimes? | ||
| What are they talking about? | ||
| She blames this on Kristi Noem. | ||
| She blames this on Donald Trump. | ||
| And she says, I'm calling for the federal troops to retreat or else this isn't going to stop. | ||
| Figure out how to handle this. | ||
| They've spent the last six months preparing for this. | ||
| They've spent the last six months creating funds, independent funds, to sponsor the legal challenges to deportations. | ||
| To not cooperate with ICE and in fact force them to commit these raids. | ||
| If the raids are the issue, then they never would have had to have been carried out by ICE if the local governments had cooperated with ICE. | ||
| If the local police had turned over people for deportation, if they had been involved in expelling foreign invaders and helping ICE with the deportations, ICE wouldn't have to raid it. | ||
| They've spent the last six months instructing the local authorities, don't cooperate with ICE, hide the illegal immigrants, break federal law, and set the table for this exact outcome. | ||
| And then when the ICE agents try to just carry out their lawful orders, arrest the foreign invaders, they're attacked by other foreign invaders. | ||
| And then the local government of California comes out on the side of the invaders, issuing instructions to them on how to deal with the federal authorities, saying, we are your champions. | ||
| We're going to let you keep doing what you're doing. | ||
| It's the federal authorities that need to back down. | ||
| Saying National Guard and ICE are causing fear. | ||
| Kind of like how the changing climate causes fear, right? | ||
| Because they're out there every day saying, ICE is out here. | ||
| Arresting people without warrants and sending them to El Salvadorian federal prison. | ||
| And they're ripping away daughters from their mothers. | ||
| And Trump wants this chaos. | ||
| And you're playing into his hands by attacking police officers. | ||
| This is utter madness. | ||
| This is utter insanity. | ||
| It's very simple what's happening. | ||
| These people... | ||
| And they're using foreign foot soldiers to fight against American law enforcement, including at the federal level. | ||
| Everybody in Trump's administration is jabbering on. | ||
| Tom Homan's issuing threats. | ||
| Trump's issuing threats. | ||
| J.D. Vance is issuing threats. | ||
| Kash Patel is issuing threats. | ||
| People on the ground know you're full of crap. | ||
| People doing this don't have any fear of you because all you have are empty words. | ||
| You don't need to tell us that you're not tolerating it. | ||
| You need to show us your lack of tolerance. | ||
| I don't want to hear threats that people might be arrested if they already are in a state of open rebellion against the federal authorities. | ||
| Either the news reports that Gavin Newsom's been arrested and the Marines have been deployed or it doesn't. | ||
| Talk all you want. | ||
| All right, welcome back, folks. | ||
| Again, I just can't reiterate it enough. | ||
| This has been the plan forever. | ||
| They've been projecting this, telegraphing that this is what they're going to do. | ||
| The only thing missing now is some sort of false flag inciting event. | ||
| And honestly, I'm surprised I woke up this morning and didn't see those headlines. | ||
| I put out a warning about this on X. People are wrapped up in these riots, the chaos, the attacks against ICE. | ||
| And they're trying to figure out how Trump can deal with it and try to put it down without inspiring it to spiral even further. | ||
| I'm sitting there thinking, okay, if I was a bad guy, how would I make the most out of this? | ||
| What would be the move that would get me closer to my goals than anything else? | ||
| And the move would be some sort of false flag terror attack against these protests. | ||
| If you have some white supremacist high school kid groomed on discord by some CIA agent who starts laying into the crowd, opens fire on the crowd or plants some explosive device and kills a bunch of these protesters, that would be ideal for the bad guys. | ||
| That would be the ideal outcome for the enemy. | ||
| Because then this We'll no longer be framed as illegal immigrants protesting against American authority. | ||
| It'll be poor, beleaguered brown people being attacked by white supremacy. | ||
| They'll be able to justify censorship. | ||
| The protests will only be made worse, and you'll probably see it crop up in other major American cities. | ||
| And that is the goal here. | ||
| The goal for the bad guys primarily is It's already happened in a smaller degree in other cities as you have places in the Northeast and elsewhere in California. | ||
| ICE raids being interrupted, crowds gathering to interfere with things that aren't even ICE raids, just like ATF raids of a drug house that people think are ICE raids, so they go to... | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Again, we've been seeing the incremental advancement of this. | ||
| And I don't know when we're going to learn our lesson. | ||
| They're like, you've got to snuff this out before it gets to the point where we're at now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| We literally said it at the time when you had, like, city council members being arrested because they were fighting with ICE. | ||
| And like the Trump administration quietly was like, yes, we're going to level charges against them. | ||
| Other people that were there and involved, we're going to drop those charges because they're congressmen and we don't want to rock the boat too much. | ||
| What do you think is going to happen? | ||
| You're just reinforcing the idea that these people are above the law. | ||
| That by framing their violent attacks against agents of the United States as a protest, as a peaceful protest, And believing that and going along with that and acting like them saying that has any credence whatsoever, you're only encouraging this to happen more. | ||
| What should have happened was the first person to interfere with an ICE activity should have had their mugshot paraded on every mainstream media outlet, should have been a full-fledged PR push by the White House saying, you see this person who interfered with ICE? | ||
| They're going to jail for the next 20 years. | ||
| You want to go to jail for 20 years? | ||
| Get in the way. | ||
| You want to spend the next 20 years of your life locked in a concrete box with a bunch of rapists and murderers? | ||
| Then interfere with ICE. | ||
| We'll be happy to put you away. | ||
| To send an overwhelming message that we will not tolerate this. | ||
| But you tolerate it when they're just, you know. | ||
| Protesting at the ICE facility, and then you're going to tolerate it when they start interfering directly, and then you'll tolerate it when the local authorities are encouraging this and giving excuses for why it's happening, and then you're going to tolerate it a little bit more, and incrementally, it's going to get to the point where it's at now, where you've got mobs of people lighting fires on the streets of California, rioting, looting. | ||
| I'll show you the videos. | ||
| I mean, I see people on it. | ||
| I mean, the gaslighting is just insane. | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| They're going, there is no rioting. | ||
| It's just peaceful protest. | ||
| There's been no peaceful protest. | ||
| Didn't start his peaceful protest. | ||
| This was never a protest. | ||
| Chris Murphy calls for nationwide street protests, says the protests in LA are pretty small. | ||
| And, of course, he blames Trump. | ||
| Pretty clear to see where this is going. | ||
| This is a post from Western Linsman. | ||
| He says, my first message is to keep it peaceful. | ||
| This is a moment where we have to be on the streets all over the country to protest what's happening to our immigrant community, to the foreign invaders who we didn't invite, who aren't welcome here, who are not citizens, who are not American in any sense of the word, who are waving foreign flags and burning the American flag as they attack our police. | ||
| And they want to say this is a peaceful protest by Americans using their First Amendment. | ||
| Absurd. | ||
| Absurd. | ||
| Let's go to this clip. | ||
| I believe we have it. | ||
| Chris Murphy trying to progress this agenda, trying to spread this chaos even further while simultaneously saying it's Trump that wants this chaos to spread further. | ||
| Can we see through this? | ||
| Or are we idiots? | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
| I mean, my first message is to keep it peaceful. | ||
| I mean, obviously, this is a moment where we have to be on the streets all over the country to protest what's happening to our immigrant community, but more broadly, to protest what's happening to our democracy. | ||
| This is the most corrupt administration in the history of the country, and we are going to rise to this moment by being out there on the streets. | ||
| But, you know, ultimately, I think the country sees what Donald Trump is trying to do here. | ||
| He's looking for a fight. | ||
| There's nothing in what he is doing. | ||
| It is about peace or about restoring order. | ||
| He's taking a protest that is relatively isolated. | ||
| You know, people in Los Angeles over the weekend would tell you that 99% of them went about their day. | ||
| And it was pretty normal because this is not an invasion that has taken over the entire city. | ||
| And he's trying to turn a protest that is pretty small into something that involves an even bigger confrontation so that he might actually be able to invoke the Insurrection Act. | ||
| That would be a defining story of the week if he were to do it. | ||
| And I just don't think, I think we have to make sure that we understand to not take him at his word. | ||
| He's looking for a fight. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's not trying to calm tensions. | |
| Again, I mean, do we even have to talk about this? | ||
| He needs to do the Insurrection Act. | ||
| He needs to do the Insurrection Act. | ||
| Again, the last thing that we want is vigilantism. | ||
| The last thing that we want is to allow this to fester and grow and have some major catastrophic event, whether intended or not, false flag or not. | ||
| What they want is to be able to frame this as crazy extremist authoritarian right-wingers using the federal government to crack down on their opposite. | ||
| And it's... | ||
| again the frustrate it's like a couple frustrating parts about this we knew it was going to happen and yet you know, it's not that Trump carried out these raids with the intention of inspiring a violent pushback. | ||
| Like that's the way that Newsom and Murphy and Bass, like they're, they're all trying to frame this as if, Obviously untrue. | ||
| I mean, look at this. | ||
| These people throwing rocks at cars that are driving by at like 30, 40 miles. | ||
| This is attempted murder. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| These are cop cars. | ||
| And it's like, okay, one of those cars needs to turn the wheel slightly and run that dude over. | ||
| I kind of feel like with police actions, like I do about Banning people on X. Where it's like, when you ask why the response happened, it needs to be pretty clear-cut. | ||
| In other words, I always, you know, it's like, Harrison blocked me on Twitter. | ||
| It's like, why? | ||
| Well, I comment under every post of his that he was a crypto-Jew CIA Mossad agent. | ||
| It's like, well, then you deserve it. | ||
| It's like, that cop hit a protester with his car. | ||
| Like, oh, well, why? | ||
| Oh, well, the protester was throwing rocks and bricks at cars driving by at 40 miles an hour, trying to shatter their windshields and kill the drivers. | ||
| It's like, oh, okay. | ||
| I guess he deserves it then. | ||
| I guess nobody would question, you know, a cop using his vehicle as a defensive weapon against that person. | ||
| Again, how are we in a situation where cars are just driving by? | ||
| And there's a guy just standing there, just with a pile of rocks, throwing rocks at cars. | ||
| He's right there. | ||
| He's on the street. | ||
| Nobody's stopping him. | ||
| The car isn't even doing anything to fight back. | ||
| I mean, how did we get to this situation? | ||
| And there's like, oh, this is Trump's fault for trying to arrest criminals. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Trump's fault. | |
| We're not putting up with this again. | ||
| This isn't 2020. | ||
| And we saw how 2020 worked out. | ||
| We're not trusting the plan, okay? | ||
| We're not waiting for the election in November. | ||
| We've already been through hell. | ||
| We've already saw them do it. | ||
| So the frustrating things are, one, knowing this was going to happen, and yet they carry out raids in ways that are acting like, this is the thing, it's not that they carried out raids in a way to specifically infuriate people because they want there to be chaos, so they're like, you know, Carrying out raids in this deliberately provocative way. | ||
| That's not happening. | ||
| What is happening is they're carrying out raids and they're behaving like this isn't the situation. | ||
| Like they have no idea that there are leftist groups sending out the location of ICE raids so that other activists can go and confront them. | ||
| It's like they're willfully ignorant and willfully blind to the fact that we are in a war. | ||
| We're in a state of war. | ||
| You know, and again, we'll just, you know, this is all fantasy anyway, but taking it at their word for it, when they went to raid the compound in Pakistan where Osama bin Laden was hiding, they went in with flashbangs and Apache helicopters and machine guns. | ||
| They staked it out. | ||
| They planned their entrance. | ||
| Blasted the doors while simultaneously hitting them with fire from helicopters. | ||
| This is like they find out where Osama bin Laden is. | ||
| And they just go rocking up with a van full of, you know, uniformed police and knock on the front door saying we're here for Osama. | ||
| And it's like, and then they get fired on. | ||
| They're like, what? | ||
| You're in a war. | ||
| No, you're in a war and you're carrying out an extraction of an enemy combatant. | ||
| Why would you do it like that's not what you're doing? | ||
| Why would you do that as if this is just a normal, run-of-the-mill, casual police raid? | ||
| It's not. | ||
| Again, it's not like they did it deliberately to provoke this response, but they have been treating the deportation raids as if they didn't know that this would happen if they weren't secretive. | ||
| What they should be doing, what they should have been doing for several months, Is for one thing, launching raid after raid after raid after raid. | ||
| Every day in every city, there should be massive raids. | ||
| It's everywhere they know the immigrants are gathering. | ||
| It should be continuous and relentless. | ||
| They should never be able to get their feet underneath them. | ||
| And anytime they do interfere in some minor way, everybody involved should be arrested immediately and given very public and speedy trials. | ||
| Showing everybody what happens when you interfere with this action. | ||
| And they should have been planting stories, doing fake ICE raids. | ||
| They should have fake ICE raids where they go, okay ICE, we're going to raid this Home Depot. | ||
| Never intending to actually carry out a raid. | ||
| But seeing who shows up, arresting the people who show up and go, how did you get your information? | ||
| Who told you there was going to be a raid today? | ||
| Because there's a leak and you've got enemy combatants. | ||
| Inside our federal agencies, feeding this information to the activists, have they treated this strategically? | ||
| Have they used these tactics to find out who's leaking from the inside? | ||
| Or to round up the leaders controlling these mobs? | ||
| Hasn't happened. | ||
| So it kind of is Trump's fault in that They're acting like they don't know that this is the situation that we're in. | ||
| Why are they not treating this more seriously? | ||
| Again, I don't want to hear the talk. | ||
| I don't want to hear the talk. | ||
| J.D. Vance posted this Donald Trump tweet. | ||
| A great American city, Los Angeles, has been invaded and occupied by illegal aliens and criminals. | ||
| Now violent insurrectionist mobs are swarming and attacking our federal agents to try to stop our deportation operations. | ||
| But these lawless riots only strengthen our resolve. | ||
| I'm directing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Secretary of Defense Hegseth, Attorney General Pam Bondi in coordination with all other relevant departments and agencies to take all. | ||
| Order will be restored, the illegals will be expelled, and Los Angeles will be set free. | ||
| Thank you for your attention in this matter. | ||
| J.D. Vance says this moment calls for decisive leadership. | ||
| The president will not tolerate rioting and violence. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| He is tolerating rioting and violence. | ||
| It's happening right now and nothing's being done to stop it. | ||
| So he is tolerating it. | ||
| That's what tolerating means. | ||
| You can speak out about how much you don't like something and still be tolerating it. | ||
| Still be sitting there and allowing it to happen. | ||
| So if you're not going to tolerate it, don't tolerate it. | ||
| But you are tolerating it. | ||
| Against the L.A. County Supervisor, federal government must retreat from Los Angeles or the crowds will continue. | ||
| Yeah, it's a war. | ||
| Have your forces retreat or we will continue to attack. | ||
| Surrender to our demands or we will continue to cause violence and attack your troops. | ||
| This is literally war. | ||
| And the LA-California authorities are on the side of the insurrectionist foreign invaders. | ||
| And of course, then you've got Laura Loomer. | ||
| Time to deploy Palantir Tech to Los Angeles to deal with the illegals. | ||
| You know you'd love to see it. | ||
| You're lying if you say you wouldn't. | ||
| No, we don't need it. | ||
| It's not necessary. | ||
| Problem, reaction, solution. | ||
| Could not be more obvious. | ||
| I don't know what else to tell you. | ||
| I mean, they created this situation. | ||
| And to solve it, we need deployment of troops, arresting the criminals, mass deportations. | ||
| That needs to remain the focus. | ||
| We need Palantir to connect these people to their Facebook groups. | ||
| We'll be able to see their vaccine status. | ||
| What is the point? | ||
| What would be the point of allowing Palantir to be involved in law enforcement like this? | ||
| There's no reason. | ||
| Not necessary. | ||
| It's only going to get worse, folks. | ||
| It's only going to expand even further. | ||
| Let's go down to clip number two here. | ||
| This is, again, people just talking about the protest as it happens. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Trump calling him a stone-cold liar, saying that President Trump wants these images. | |
| I asked him, how do you negotiate with each other if that's what's happening and that's what you're saying about him? | ||
| He said there is no negotiating with him. | ||
| I've tried everything. | ||
| I asked him about the fact that he's asking for $40 billion from President Trump for California's wildfires. | ||
| And he said, I'm trying, I'm doing everything I can. | ||
| But there is real anger. | ||
| And Newsom also saying that what Trump said publicly, which is that on a phone call the other night, that if Newsom didn't get things under control, he was going to bring in the troops. | ||
| Newsom says that was a, quote, stone cold lie. | ||
| That that's not what happened on the phone call between the two of them, that Donald Trump is making that up, and that they said he's making up other things, including the fact that the National Guard got things under control last night, hours before the National Guard even arrived. | ||
| Mayor Bass, with a message also that Violence is not the answer. | ||
| Suggesting that a lot of the people, the anarchists that are fueling some of this, are actually playing into Donald Trump's hands and keeping this going. | ||
| And that the best way for all of us to stop is for people to stop with some of this violence. | ||
| They say there's a right for peaceful protest, but not a right for people in the middle of the streets doing some of what you're looking at right now. | ||
| Alex, as we keep you here for a moment, we're going to refer down to the live shot we're seeing here. | ||
| An LAPD skirmish line is moving in here and moving that crowd off the top of the freeway where they've been raining those and throwing those rocks down onto the police vehicle, setting it on fire as well. | ||
| So now you are seeing a show of force here as police now are on this level here, moving this crowd away. | ||
| Maybe they can get them away enough that those vehicles can be cleared. | ||
| And the freeway can be reopened at some point to motorists in both directions. | ||
| It's gonna take some time, but you gotta get those people out of there because they're gonna continue to do the damage they're doing. | ||
| And it really is a threat to the other motorists. | ||
| The innocent people that are driving on the other side of the freeway. | ||
| The freeway is active. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Who knows if Iraq doesn't go in that direction and an innocent person is hit or hurt or killed. | ||
| So right now we are watching police there move in. | ||
| Alex, I don't know, is Alex still with us? | ||
| Can we bring Alex back? | ||
| Yeah, I'm still here and I'm able to see the live pictures. | ||
| I didn't know that those were live pictures that we're looking at right now. | ||
| I mean, they're very dramatic that what we're seeing right now on the freeway. | ||
| The horse is moving in. | ||
| And that's part of what I asked both Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom. | ||
| How do you can get control of this? | ||
| Because it's clear that things are not under control and that what's happening right now is not working. | ||
| And they said that the National Guard is inflaming this. | ||
| I said to Mayor Bass, We're looking at it right here, not the National Guard. | ||
| I mean, this is LAPD. | ||
| The National Guard is nowhere near this situation, and clearly this situation is out of control. | ||
| They say the president is inflaming the situation, but this is not good. | ||
| And it doesn't look like it's going to end anytime soon. | ||
| And as the sun starts to go down, Christine and Susan, oftentimes things get worse in LA before they get better. | ||
| And so it is a concerning night. | ||
| Right now as fireworks continue to go off. | ||
| Fireworks continue to go off. | ||
| Again, the imagery of this. | ||
| Well, they want all of America to look like this, basically. | ||
| They're mad that it's just L.A. at this point. | ||
| They want these same scenes in San Francisco and Houston and Dallas and Minneapolis, New York. | ||
| Of course, on top of all this, you have the Mexican president saying we are mobilizing on the streets to stop the taxing of remittances. | ||
|

|
Thank you. | |
| I'm just sick of being in a state of war where only one side is fighting. | ||
| Again. | ||
| Just shut them down. | ||
| Just do what you have to. | ||
| Just get it done. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just get it done. | |
| Again, Gavin Newsom blaming President Trump for tonight's violent protest. | ||
| He said, one, local law enforcement didn't need help. | ||
| Well, yeah, because they were letting the riots happen. | ||
| I mean, if they were trying to stop the riots, they would have needed help. | ||
| But the fact that they were in cooperation with the rioters and allowing them, A free hand. | ||
| Sure, I guess they didn't need help. | ||
| They weren't trying to stop it. | ||
| Two, Trump sends troops anyway to manufacture chaos and violence. | ||
| As if it was all peaceful before the troops showed up. | ||
| I just want to say again. | ||
| This was never peaceful. | ||
| This was never peaceful. | ||
| Now, we're going to talk a little bit more about what it's like on the ground. | ||
| We're going to be joined by Anthony Cabasa, who is a freelance reporter there on the ground. | ||
| Who has captured a lot of the footage that we've been showing today. | ||
| A lot of footage that's gone viral over the weekend. | ||
| It's been captured by him. | ||
| He was there last night. | ||
| We're going to get a statement from him live here in about 15 minutes or so. | ||

you Thank you. | |
| Welcome back, folks. | ||
| This is the third hour of the American Journal. | ||
| We're going to be joined by Anthony Kibasa in just a minute. | ||
| He's an independent journalist based in L.A. who's been capturing a lot of the incredible footage that we've been seeing of the violence, the rioting, the attacks on police. | ||
| And so much more. | ||
| Data Republican says, just now from a friend of mine in the thick of it, quote, so much crazier than anyone expected. | ||
| It's closing down freeways and the mayor is pissed. | ||
| Honestly, the chaos is giving April 1992 riots and somehow the citizens of the ghetto have more firepower than the National Guard. | ||
| The feds won't even go near South Central. | ||
| And this is the issue with allowing these groups to fester. | ||
| Gavin Newsom says, quote, I will never work with Trump. | ||
| Which is like, okay, that is, that's a declaration of war. | ||
| Hello, this is the governor of a state working against the federal government and saying, I will never cooperate with the federal government. | ||
| It's like, we actually already had a civil war to determine whether this was a thing you can do or not. | ||
| And the answer was a resounding no. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| And there's an extra added aspect to this, which is that these people are foreigners and they're being directed by their foreign president to do this. | ||
| I'm not sure if calling this a civil war is the right thing, except they've got a bunch of anti-American scum along with them. | ||
| By the way, this is California. | ||
| while the elite dictating all of it rests behind locked gates up in the hills. | ||
| Actual effect of socialistic policies leading to greater and greater gap between the ever-increasing ranks of the poverty-stricken, hopeless people and the billionaires that run the place. | ||
| It just goes on and on. | ||
| But let me just remind you here. | ||
| June 6, 2025. | ||
| ICE conducts a large-scale raid in Los Angeles, arresting approximately 45 undocumented immigrants, including 44 for administrative immigration violations and one for obstruction. | ||
| That apparently inspired all of this. | ||
| That apparently was the authoritarian overreach, the outrageous, unacceptable, dictatorial behavior of the Trump administration. | ||
| That inspires all this and justifies all of this and should go violently opposed, according to the leadership in Los Angeles. | ||
| ICE conducts a raid, arrests 45 illegal immigrants, 44 of which were known to the administration, had missed their check-in or whatever it is, and were trying to evade American law and stay in the country. | ||
| Despite being ordered to leave or at least to check in. | ||
| So that apparently is too far. | ||
| That's the inciting incident. | ||
| ICE arrested 45 people. | ||
| That's when the protest, so-called protest erupted. | ||
| Protests erupted in Los Angeles, particularly near the Westlake Home Depot. | ||
| As activists and community members opposed the raids, clashes occurred between protesters and ICE agents in riot gear, with some protesters throwing chunks of broken concrete at officers. | ||
| The LAPD responded with tear gas, pepper spray, and flashbang grenades, escalating the situation into street riots. | ||
| Ah, Trump. | ||
| Dang it, just like Trump wanted. | ||
| Just like Trump designed. | ||
| Wasn't Trump that brought in the immigrants. | ||
| It wasn't Trump that handed out the location of the raids so they could be confronted. | ||
| It wasn't Trump that ordered the LAPD to try to push the people back. | ||
| Trump's had nothing to do with any of this, and yet they blame Trump entirely. | ||
| And here we see protesters making Molotov cocktails. | ||
|

|
We're going to be joined by Anthony Kavasa. | |
| Any minute now, and just let me know whenever we get him on the line. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I got my head shake, buy a jumbo check. | |
| We'll be joining us at 10.15, so about 10 minutes from now. | ||
| Again, let's just continue through this timeline. | ||
| So on Friday, ICE conducts a couple large-scale raids, which again, they should know that they're going to be opposed. | ||
| They've been saying this was the case. | ||
| This was always the playbook. | ||
| Always the playbook. | ||
| Very simple. | ||
| Protest, get activists to interfere with ICE raids. | ||
| Cause violence. | ||
| Let it get out of control. | ||
| Run the summer of 2020, summer of love, Black Lives Matter playbook. | ||
| But even more violent this time. | ||
| Even less justifiable. | ||
| Composed mostly of people waving foreign flags. | ||
| Not even Americans. | ||
| Certainly not Americans protesting against the American government. | ||
| Just foreigners invading and causing chaos and destroying the stability and Regardless, frame it as justified. | ||
| Encourage the violence when Trump inevitably is forced to use federal agencies to confront what's going on because the local government is literally hand-in-hand with the protesters. | ||
| is doing everything they can, which is a lot, to keep police back, not respond, Not impose order, not reestablish peace, but allow this to continue. | ||
| When local authorities are doing nothing, federal authorities have to step in, frame that as an authoritarian power grab by Trump, and try to wield that politically and inspire more protests across the rest of the country. | ||
| And ideally, they would get us into a full-fledged civil war scenario. | ||
| Where the left could then turn to China and the UN and say, help us, our authoritarian president. | ||
| The dictator, Donald Trump, and his white supremacist mobs are oppressing the poor black refugees and asylum seekers. | ||
| Won't you please invade to help us? | ||
| At the very least, shouldn't we be empowering Palantir and the facial recognition? | ||
| Mass social media surveillance database. | ||

|
Thank you. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| Again, absurd that they would go into this not expecting this type of response, but I guess they did. | ||
| So they go in on Friday, they arrest 45 people, they try to do a raid at a Home Depot where a bunch of illegals hang out, and the illegals themselves attack back. | ||
| Other illegals join in, activist groups. | ||
| Assault the cops. | ||
| Clashes occur between the protesters and ICE agents in riot gear, with some protesters throwing chunks of broken concrete at officers. | ||
| LAPD responds with tear gas, pepper spray, and flashbang grenades. | ||
| This all on Friday afternoon. | ||
| Of course, in response, LA Mayor Karen Bass condemned the ICE raids, calling them tactics that sow terror in communities and express support for the city's immigrant population. | ||
| Her statements grew criticism from federal officials and Republicans who accused her of encouraging unrest. | ||
| And of course, that's exactly what she was doing. | ||
| The ICE raids were lawful, targeted against foreigners in our country illegally, having committed a crime, having missed their appointment, slated for deportation. | ||
| Absolutely nothing unconstitutional, nothing authoritarian, nothing overwrought or heavy-handed. | ||
| Basic federal law enforcement activity. | ||
| Karen Bass condemns that and gives license and credence and justification to the mobs of foreigners attacking American agents. | ||
| That was on Friday. | ||
| On Saturday, ICE raids continued in Paramount and Compton, leading to further clashes with federal forces. | ||
| Protesters in Paramount displayed Mexican flags and some set fire to shopping carts and vehicles, including a car on Atlantic Boulevard in Compton. | ||
| In Paramount, federal agents used tear gas, flashbang explosives and pepper balls to disperse the crowds, while protesters hurled rocks and cement at Border Patrol vehicles. | ||
| The Department of Homeland Security reported over 1,000 rioters surrounding a federal building, assaulting ICE officers, slashing tires and defacing property. | ||
| At that point, Trump federalized the National Guard. | ||
| He's signed a memorandum deploying 2,000 California National Guard troops to Los Angeles under Title X authority, federalizing them without Governor Newsom's approval, the first such action since 1965. | ||
| The White House justified this as a response to lawlessness and alleged migrant invasion, which of course it is. | ||
| I mean, it's not up for debate. | ||
| This isn't even a discussion. | ||
| The authorities in Los Angeles... | ||
| I've shown you their statements. | ||
| They're on camera saying this. | ||
| The people of California are not obligated to sit idly by and twiddle their thumbs while a bunch of Mexicans Burn down their businesses and set cop cars on fire. | ||
| And the federal government is under no obligation to allow the local authorities to persist in this. | ||
| what are you talking about Trump federalized that National Guard. | ||
| Leading to opposition, Governor Newsom criticized the deployment as purposely inflammatory. | ||
| And urged protesters to remain peaceful. | ||
| Didn't say to go home, though. | ||
| Didn't say to stop what they were doing. | ||
| Didn't tell the people of California, don't worry. | ||
| I'm going to restore order. | ||
| I'm going to put an end to this chaos that's menacing your family or your homes or your place of business. | ||
| Shutting down your freeways. | ||
| Causing all this chaos. | ||
| He had no message for the people of California not participating in these riots because that's not who he's working for. | ||
| He's working for the rioters. | ||
| He's not telling them, go home. | ||
| He's not telling them we're going to shut you down or I'm going to arrest you if you don't start obeying the law. | ||
| He's saying I'm on your side. | ||
| I'll continue to allow you to run roughshod over law and order in this city. | ||
| But if you push it too far, then the federal government will come in and I won't be able to help you then. | ||
| And by the way, pallet upon pallet upon pallet of bricks. | ||
| And cinder blocks are being found in all of these locations. | ||
| Nowhere near construction sites. | ||
| Staged, just like in 2020, obviously to provide ammunition for the rioters. | ||
| You think it's impossible to find out who dropped those bricks off? | ||
| Not again. | ||
| That was on Saturday by Saturday night. | ||
| Gavin Newsom was tweeting out, the Secretary of Defense is now threatening to deploy active duty Marines on American soil against its own citizens. | ||
| This is deranged behavior. | ||
| It's deranged to send the cops after mobs burning down the city. | ||
| Deranged, he says. | ||
| That was on Saturday night. | ||
| All through Sunday, the riots continue unabated. | ||
| No Marines deployed. | ||
| No effective crackdown. | ||
| And they continue to blame Donald Trump. | ||
| Not only is it frustrating that we knew this was going to happen, and the Trump administration was apparently completely blind to this reality and did nothing to treat this with the seriousness it deserves, but now we're acting like we don't know what to do from this point on. | ||
| People are acting like we're in a tough situation of some sort. | ||
| What we need to do is very simple, and we have the blueprint. | ||
| Down to a T. We know exactly what to do here. | ||
| It's called post-January 6th Democrat behavior. | ||
| They called January 6th an insurrection because a bunch of grandmas from Arkansas took an unapproved tour through the Capitol. | ||
| Didn't hurt anybody. | ||
| Didn't burn anything. | ||
| Just walked through an open door high-fiving police. | ||
| They were hunted down. | ||
| Like criminals. | ||
| They had their door kicked in in the middle of the night. | ||
| AR-15s aimed at their children. | ||
| Causing miscarriages in their pregnant wives. | ||
| I mean, we saw what the Democrats did when an actual peaceful protest was attacked by police. | ||
| And then the Capitol was wandered through. | ||
| That needs to be our playbook. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| Launch the sedition hunters. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Deputize volunteers to go through the footage, find everybody involved in these riots, arrest them, whether it's today or six months from now, arrest them, deny them bail, solitary confinement for a year while they wait for trial, charge them with not just disturbing the peace and interfering with the duly The required authority of the federal | ||
| agents that are involved in this. | ||
| But hit him with terror enhancements and put him away for 20 years. | ||
| RICO charges. | ||
| Anybody who even communicated with him. | ||
| Remember, Stuart Rhodes was sent to jail for 20 plus years. | ||
| He never went in the Capitol. | ||
| He never told anybody to go in the Capitol. | ||
| He in fact told people not to go in the Capitol. | ||
| But he was thrown in jail for 20 years on the basis of a RICO charge because he was in a chat thread. | ||
| He was in a text message group. | ||
| With people who were in the Capitol. | ||
| And I saw somebody saying something where it's like, this is so typical. | ||
| The left, you know, uses its power and acts aggressively. | ||
| But Republicans always want to play fair. | ||
| Playing fair is doing to them what they do to us. | ||
| Republicans aren't even playing fair. | ||
| Playing fair is, okay, this is the new rule book. | ||
| That's what we're going by. | ||
| This is how you treat an insurrection. | ||
| Here we have an insurrection. | ||
| Let's treat it that way. | ||
| What we're doing now is nothing. | ||
| Nothing is being done. | ||
| There's no playing fair. | ||
| There's no sticking to the strict confines of the Constitution. | ||
| The Constitution obliges us to go in and shut this down. | ||
| The Constitution is being destroyed by these people making it unsafe, depriving the people of LA the ability to live their lives and express themselves. | ||
| Pursue happiness and all the other freedoms that we're supposed to enjoy are being destroyed by these people. | ||
| The Constitution actually provides for solutions to this. | ||
| It is the Insurrection Act. | ||
| It is shutting down what's going on with rapidity and aggressiveness to uphold the rights of the American people against this invading foreign force. | ||
| So I want to hear about playing fair or... | ||
| Or obeying the Constitution. | ||
| The Constitution obliges us to do something about this. | ||
| I'm now joined by Anthony Cabasa. | ||
| He's an independent journalist based in LA. | ||
| You can follow him at AnthonyCabasa underscore on X and subscribe to his channel on YouTube at InformedWithAnthony. | ||
| He, of course, has been the person who's captured a lot of the footage that we've seen today. | ||
| A lot of the footage that's gone viral over the weekend was captured by Anthony. | ||
| Anthony, good to have you on the show. | ||
| Good to hear that you... | ||
| It must have been scary. | ||
| Tell us what it's been like over the weekend, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, hey, thank you so much for having me, man. | |
| Appreciate it. | ||
| Big fan of your work. | ||
| Yeah, everything started on Friday. | ||
| Ironically, I was just reading a tweet on Cenk Uyger from the Young Turks saying that everything escalated. | ||
| Everything started on Saturday, but of course he's incorrect. | ||
| Everything started on Friday. | ||
| When there was basically an assault on DHS police at the Immigration Detention Center in downtown LA. | ||
| It's a federal building. | ||
| Essentially what happened on Friday was there was city council members and other LA elected officials that were saying that ICE raids had began and were planned through the weekend. | ||
| This of course angered a lot of the pro-immigration groups. | ||
| You also have factions like Democratic Socialists of America, the LA chapter, you have Black Lives Matter, the LA chapter, and then you also have the PSL, the Party of Socialism and Liberation. | ||
| These are all left-wing factions. | ||
| That when they are told by their city council members that there are raids, then obviously they activate the protesters to head on out and face off with the federal government. | ||
| And so this began on Friday, again, at the federal building, and it was just complete chaos what was happening. | ||
| Obviously, you guys saw Donald Trump signing a memorandum, signing on 2000. | ||
| National Guardsmen to send to LA because things were already getting pretty hectic. | ||
| But it's basically been a power struggle of state and local government versus the federal government all through the weekend, really. | ||
| So tell us, what is then the spirit on the ground? | ||
| Obviously, we get a very sort of narrow view from the footage that gets published that we see over and over. | ||
| Is that reflective of what's happening overall? | ||
| Is the whole thing just chaotic and wild? | ||
| Are there peaceful parts? | ||
| What has been your experience on the ground there in the midst of these riots? | ||
| What's just the attitude or the overall zeitgeist of what's happening here? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, so I've been covering LA protests since 2017, so I'm pretty acclimated to the nature of how these things kind of evolve and progress, kind of what happens when LAPD shows up, local law enforcement try to shut it down. | |
| So basically what we're seeing now is akin to the George Floyd riots. | ||
| Obviously, the Georgia lawyers were much more larger and I think better organized. | ||
| I think this is because organizations like USAID were still active and kind of funneling money to these quote-unquote non-profits and these pro-rights groups, again, quote-unquote, using that term lightly because really what they are is Marxist slash communist slash socialist organizations. | ||
| But what I'm seeing is, you know, it's not happening countywide. | ||
| It is hyper-focused specifically to the federal buildings in downtown LA. | ||
| I saw buildings like the VA, the Veterans Center, down in downtown LA that were, you know, defaced and vandalized. | ||
| And I'm just like, man, you know, as a veteran myself, I didn't really care for that much. | ||
| But yeah, as what we see normally. | ||
| And how these things play out is it starts off as a peaceful protest. | ||
| There were tens of thousands of people that showed up yesterday specifically. | ||
| This is after Donald Trump activated the National Guard into LA. | ||
| But what people need to understand is I didn't see any National Guard yesterday. | ||
| It still seems like there is a power struggle between the federal government and state government. | ||
| State government is asking that the National Guards not be present. | ||
| And so there was a lot of people yesterday when the chaos unfolded, which is, again, by nature, what happens is the darker it gets, the further into the evening it gets, that's usually when it becomes more violent in nature and it kind of turns into a riot. | ||
| But we actually saw that early on yesterday, which was a little bit unusual to see. | ||
| Usually the violence doesn't start until the evening time, but it started almost immediately. | ||
| I woke up in the morning and already there was violence between DHS agents at the federal buildings in downtown LA against protesters. | ||
| Maxine Waters, of course, Congresswoman here in California, made an appearance saying that this is Donald Trump trying to incite an insurrection or some kind of civil war or even martial law. | ||
| This is kind of what he is preempting the city to. | ||
| And so you have the state government condemning the federal government, shifting the blame over to President Trump, saying that the escalations are getting worse because of him. | ||
| But, you know, the National Guard was not necessarily activated back during the Floyd riots. | ||
| And there were still mass levels of civil unrest during the George Floyd riots. | ||
| Democrats fully control the state legislature. | ||
| And so there's really no one to blame but themselves. | ||
| And so try to blame the National Guard. | ||
| The National Guard was nowhere to be seen. | ||
| There was no perimeter. | ||
| You know, they were, again, hyper-focused on the downtown LA federal building, or maybe there were some there in the morning, but toward the evening and in the afternoon, actually, before that, there was no National Guard presence. | ||
| So they can't really blame that the protesters were getting violent because of National Guard presence when it was really the CHP. | ||
| This was all state government that was setting up a perimeter and tackling the protesters yesterday. | ||
| So, again, that's just a false notion by the governor. | ||
| It's all completely insane. | ||
| I'm just trying to get a handle and a view of how maybe regular people are seeing this. | ||
| Have you gotten to talk to people that are not involved in the riots? | ||
| Have you talked to people that are involved in the riots? | ||
| What's the perception of this? | ||
| because I have trouble believing that Gavin Newsom coming out and saying this is all Trump's fault or Mayor Bass or Han, the county supervisor. | ||
| I mean, they're all, or He's trying to start the insurrection. | ||
| I mean, are people actually believing that? | ||
| Are they blaming Trump for this? | ||
| Or are they seeing through these obvious distractions of Newsom and Bass? | ||
| Because it's clearly their fault, from my perspective. | ||
| What's the perspective there on the ground from the locals of L.A.? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, so on Saturday specifically, I got to talk to business owners as they were closing down their shops. | |
| Around these protests. | ||
| And of course, they're not in agreeance. | ||
| A lot of these small businesses are owned by immigrants themselves. | ||
| And so they were very unhappy with what was happening. | ||
| I overheard business owners that were holding the door closed from the outside saying, you know, in Spanish, what does this have to do with us? | ||
| How does this help? | ||
| You know, and so I assume these are, you know, Hispanic business owners here legally with permits for their businesses saying, like, what is going on? | ||
| And so. | ||
| I think that what we see is obviously the more crazy people are the ones out protesting and committing acts of violence. | ||
| But for the most part, you're talking about a city with tens of millions of people. | ||
| For the most part, a lot of people don't agree with what is happening. | ||
| There's a lot of people condemning it. | ||
| There's a lot of people unhappy. | ||
| I've even actually seen big TikTok accounts by left-wing or more liberal or Democrat. | ||
| Hispanics posting videos condemning the actions that are happening in Los Angeles, saying this is not helping anything. | ||
| You don't come into a country that's, you know, welcomed you and hosted you and then wave a foreign flag and then you're burning down the city. | ||
| So, you know, there are some people saying like, you know, this is being turned into some kind of race war. | ||
| And I can kind of agree with that. | ||
| I don't think it's there yet. | ||
| I think that that is what they're trying to build it up to, kind of like the George Floyd riots. | ||
| It wasn't really an anti-police thing, right? | ||
| You had Derek Chauvin who went to jail for his actions, but it wasn't necessarily a race war, but that's what they tried to turn it into. | ||
| But because yesterday what I saw was a lot of different people. | ||
| I saw white people there. | ||
| I saw black people there. | ||
| It's just a melting pot of protesters. | ||
| And really what it's about is they just hate the federal government, they hate Donald Trump, and they're just following and obeying orders of the local city council because I actually personally saw elected officials screaming into the microphones, leading these protests. | ||
| You had unions there, you had teachers there. | ||
| A lot of these people are very, very left-wing people, and that's what they do. | ||
| They protest. | ||
| They protest the government. | ||
| They hate Donald Trump. | ||
| They hate the federal government. | ||
| They hate that Elon Musk has done these doge cuts to the Department of Education. | ||
| So they're out there saying, your enemy is the government. | ||
| And so this is just another protest of that matter. | ||
| That they're just going out, they're obeying orders, and they're being told, you know, I actually saw elected officials calling PD, just feet away, setting up a perimeter to make sure that they can protest just fine, calling them pigs. | ||
| And the crowd was just cheering, and the crowd was full of elected officials. | ||
| It was full of teachers, and these people are cheering the fact that their elected officials are demonizing federal agents and even local law enforcement. | ||
| So it's no surprise that it turned violence and that law enforcement was targeted. | ||
| Again, it's just beyond understanding for me, especially in the sense that you have the president of Mexico saying, you know, we're going to mobilize on the streets of America to stop things like taxing remittances. | ||
| I mean, this is war. | ||
| This is war in every sense of the word. | ||
| Anthony Cabasa is my guest at informedwithanthony on YouTube, on X, at anthonycabasa underscore. | ||
| We're going to be back with him on the other side, hopefully, although we haven't confirmed that. | ||

| A lot of his footage is the stuff that we've been playing today, all the stuff that's gone viral over the weekend. | ||
| We're going to talk about where the protests are now and where they go from here. | ||

| Coming to you live from the InfoWars headquarters here in Austin, Texas. | ||
| My guest is Anthony Cabasa. | ||
| Follow him on X at AnthonyCabasa underscore. | ||
| You gotta follow him. | ||
| You gotta support him. | ||
| He's doing the work that we need. | ||
| The work to actually see what's actually going on on the ground. | ||
| just out of curiosity, I just went to the CNN homepage, Anthony, before we went live. | ||
| You know, without people like yourself on the ground, People have no idea what's going on. | ||
| On CNN, of course, it's all being framed as Trump's fault. | ||
| It says the showdown the White House has been waiting for, unrest sparked by ICE raids, provide catalysts for Trump to stage a demonstration of military force. | ||
| Trump acted without Newsom's cooperation in L.A., why experts call the move dangerous. | ||
| I mean, clearly this is being orchestrated. | ||
| Clearly, this is the desired outcome from the left to try to frame Trump as a dictator. | ||
| They ran a very similar playbook in 2020, but this is a little different. | ||
| The vibe is different here. | ||
| It's not about police brutality. | ||
| It doesn't have the video that was so emotional and hit people so hard. | ||
| It's foreigners waving foreign flags, throwing bricks at cops, and it just started, right? | ||
| I mean, this broke out on Friday. | ||
| It's continued through the weekend. | ||
| And already, you know, they're burning cars and stuff. | ||
| It took a few weeks for George Floyd to sort of get up to this point. | ||
| You were there in Los Angeles covering the protests in 2020. | ||
| How does this protest differ from the 2020 attitude, the vibe, the spirit around what's going on this time? | ||
| Is it different? | ||
| Is it similar? | ||
| How does it compare? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, so, you know, earlier today when I was on your show, I was telling you I've been covering protests for about eight years now. | |
| And so I haven't really seen anything this big really since the George Floyd riots. | ||
| You know, we've had the Roe v. | ||
| Wade protests that were out here. | ||
| We have a lot of anti-Second Amendment protests out here. | ||
| We have a lot of, you know, the Women's March parade, all this stuff. | ||
| Obviously, you have the big LGBTQ parades, and that draws out a lot of people. | ||
| But as far as protesting... | ||
| I mean, it was just impossible to really get a grasp on just how big this protest was. | ||
| And of course, being organized by organizations and city council members, people taking their social media saying, hey, we need everyone out. | ||
| We need to support our immigrant community. | ||
| We need to support, you know, our state legislators that are pushing back against fascism. | ||
| That's what they say, right? | ||
| Donald Trump and federal agents. | ||
| But you're absolutely right. | ||
| I'm out there because there was statements put out over the weekend. | ||
| And one of the most surprising statements that I found was LAPD. | ||
| LAPD put out a statement saying that the protests had remained peaceful and without incident. | ||
| This is after hours of protesters breaking up large bricks into smaller ones so they can launch at police, launching glass bottles. | ||
| This is something that I didn't see during 2020. | ||
| In 2020, we saw LAPD condemning a lot of the violence. | ||
| But for LAPD to come out and say, you know, oh, this remained peaceful. | ||
| And then you have Gavin Newsom, of course. | ||
| You have State Senator Adam Schiff. | ||
| You have local elected leaders, Congresswoman Maxine Waters. | ||
| That's in the L.A. District. | ||
| You also have L.A. Mayor Bass. | ||
| All these people are repeating the same thing. | ||
| Very peaceful. | ||
| Of course, you have CNN saying this is mostly peaceful and basically making it seem like nothing had happened. | ||
| If you just went, if you're just a hardworking person, let's say you're a nurse and you were working over the weekend like they solemnly do, and all you did was read the LAPD press release, you would think that nothing happened over the weekend. | ||
| But then it's because of journalists like myself and other great journalists. | ||
| Like my friend Aldo, my friend Cam, that are out there as well, highlighting the violence and the chaos that has been unfolding since Friday, that people are actually able to get the truth. | ||
| So there's actually a lot of conservatives that are pretty pro-law enforcement, pretty disappointed with the LAPD leadership issuing statements in solidarity with the state governor and the mayor of L.A. saying that the protests were peaceful and without incident. | ||
| So, you know, the differences between the 2020 riots and these riots over the weekend is obviously the sheer size. | ||
| The George Floyd riots just, it was overwhelming amount of people. | ||
| I think that it was also better funded, better well organized. | ||
| So that's why they were able to get people out. | ||
| One of the things that obviously I still reflect on that I think the reason why we had such So everyone was looking for a reason to go out. | ||
| And be around other people. | ||
| And I don't know if you remember, Harrison, but there was even clips of these protesters, Black Lives Matter, marching to the streets by hospitals, and the doctors and nurses were outside clapping for them and taking a knee in solidarity. | ||
| Meanwhile, these people are going back into their offices and issuing emails to the city saying that it's too dangerous to go outside. | ||
| And then you had headlines saying that the protests might actually be helping the spread of the pandemic. | ||
| But then, you know, if conservatives wanted to hold, you know, rallies of themselves or events, then those were called super spreader events. | ||
| And so this is exactly what you're seeing in California. | ||
| You have the one-party state of Democrats basically blaming. | ||
| I mean, it's just insane to me. | ||
| Anyone can really believe that this protest, which LA is known for protests for anything, for anything, because you have so many anarchist factions out here and organizations, that anyone can believe that what happened over the weekend was 100% Donald Trump's fault. | ||
| It's just insane. | ||
| I know, I know. | ||
| I've used the word insane probably a hundred times today, but there's no other word for it. | ||
| I mean, the gaslighting is off the charts. | ||
| It is mind-blowing. | ||
| Here we're showing footage. | ||
| I'm not sure if you caught this. | ||
| I know you've caught other footage of these pallets of cinder blocks and bricks being staged right near the protest, not near construction sites, mind you, just where the protests are happening. | ||
| You have these pallets staged of bricks and cinder blocks and other... | ||
| Have you discovered anything about this and is anybody looking into this or is there any legitimate reason why these pallets of bricks and rocks are being staged in these different places? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, so both the videos that you just showed of the cement blocks and these stones are actually my videos. | |
| So thank you guys for sharing that. | ||
| But yeah, on Saturday, the pallets of bricks were next to a Home Depot. | ||
| So there's a lot of people saying that it could have been a Home Depot placement. | ||
| But if you want to go back for those listening and you want to see the pallet. | ||
| Although it is kind of like on a driveway of a Home Depot, it's the only pallet out there. | ||
| And then if you can see, the pallets are right outside of a closed gate. | ||
| So my question would be is, why is the only pallet, the only pallet that is out there? | ||
| It's full of cement blocks that were later used by protesters to break down and create barriers so that police weren't able to get in, but also launch at police. | ||
| So that would be my number one question for the first pilot of bricks. | ||
| And so I thought to myself, maybe this is a one-off. | ||
| But then last night, I discovered another pile of bricks hidden by a corner building right next to police, where they knew these federal buildings were going to be targeted. | ||
| And so at that point, I'm like, okay, once, maybe. | ||
| A second time, and the fact that it's hidden in a corner like that, and it's on a pallet, I'm like, okay, maybe this is just not a coincidence. | ||
| It's kind of like the saying, fool me once, shame on you. | ||
| Fool me twice, shame on me. | ||
| And we saw this exact same thing in 2020. | ||
| These mysterious piles of bricks staged at these protest locations and then immediately used by Antifa. | ||
| I know we don't have too much time with you. | ||
| I want to thank you so much for coming on and for I know that what you do is not safe. | ||
| I mean, you're not. | ||
| You know, you don't have the budget of CNN or somebody with security guards and everything. | ||
| You're out there on your own capturing this incredibly valuable footage and putting yourself at risk for it. | ||
| You said you were caught in the crossfire a little bit yesterday. | ||
| And so I'm just, you know, I know we're praying for your safety, and I just encourage more people to go out and support you doing what you do. | ||
| Just final question, where does it go from here? | ||
| Are the riots still happening? | ||
| Obviously, this kicked off on Friday, carried on all throughout Saturday. | ||
| Through Sunday, into Sunday night. | ||
| We're now here on Monday morning. | ||
| What's the atmosphere like now? | ||
| Is it calmed down? | ||
| Will it start up next weekend? | ||
| Where do you think it goes from here, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah, no, thank you for that. | ||
| And, you know, one thing was, I will say, as you talked about, like, the budget and, you know, needing security, you know, private security is very, very tough. | ||
| To hire for these instances. | ||
| And the problem is that a lot of these factions know who I am. | ||
| They know I'm a conservative journalist, and so they target me. | ||
| Actually, over the weekend, they tried to dox me. | ||
| They were posting pictures of me so that people could target me. | ||
| There were retweets and tweets put out, or posts, I guess, now they're right with X, of people targeting me and saying, if you see this guy, make sure you take care of him. | ||
| And his equipment. | ||
| So those posts were actually sent to me by independent journalist Andy Ngo, who has been targeted by Antifa and other factions as well. | ||
| And he told me, please be safe. | ||
| They're targeting you. | ||
| They're looking for you. | ||
| And so I'm having to go out there, not just without security, but also undercover. | ||
| I have to wear different attire, different things. | ||
| But as to your question, where does it go from here? | ||
| That's a really good question because I only see these things escalating. | ||
| I don't see a scenario where Donald Trump kind of takes the Trump 1.0 effect, where he just kind of lets the states and the cities kind of take care of the problem. | ||
| Obviously, you know, there was National Guard deployed, but those were at the state discretion. | ||
| But I think that what we're seeing now is a much more emboldened Donald Trump. | ||
| I think he has a zero tolerance policy. | ||
| He wants to make an example of these violent extremist protesters in Los Angeles. | ||
| And that's why I tell people I think that Los Angeles is going to be ground zero. | ||
| It's going to be ground zero in the sense of immigration enforcement. | ||
| Is the federal government going to be allowed to do its job that the American people overwhelmingly voted them to do? | ||
| And the answer should be yes. | ||
| But the problem is, is that you have Gavin Newsom, LA City elected officials that are They've made their entire leadership careers protecting the immigrant community because they know that California is a majority Hispanic immigrant state. | ||
| And so they need their votes. | ||
| They need their support. | ||
| They need them to be in unions to promote this money over to Democrats and funnel the money over to Democrats to make sure that they are winning these school board elections, these superintendent elections. | ||
| Back in 2020, we saw a leader of the Black Lives Matter chapter promoted to union president for Los Angeles school board. | ||
| So you can just imagine you have these Marxist communists that are self-appointing themselves into leadership positions and education. | ||
| You can only just begin to find out why the education is so poor in California. | ||
| It's because it's not education that they're worried about. | ||
| It's activism. | ||
| It's making sure that they install themselves into these positions of power and money generating machines so they can keep the Democratic Party alive and well. | ||
| Because the reality is, I think if we had honest elections and we had a decent process in California, I think most people are very tired with the state leadership. | ||
| They're tired of them shifting the blame on the federal government when it has nothing to do with what's going on with the ongoing crime, the homelessness, the cost of living. | ||
| This isn't the federal government. | ||
| This is state leadership. | ||
| California has been deep, deep Democrat for decades now. | ||
| They have no one to blame for themselves. | ||
| So if they continue this rhetoric of shifting the blame and they continue the rhetoric that, you know, they're going to – I expect things to continue to be violent or even worse because, as you know, you've seen an open border. | ||
| We've all seen an open border for the last four years. | ||
| Who knows who's come in for what reason? | ||
| And I'm sure they're going to be taking every opportunity they can to target law enforcement and federal agents. | ||
| Perhaps we can even be seeing, heaven forbid, acts of terrorism. | ||
| We could be seeing buildings being blown up, drones being sent in to target federal agents, as we've seen abroad. | ||
| And so I'm praying that it doesn't come to that. | ||
| But I think that what's going to happen is the federal government is going to double and triple down, as they have been through the weekend, promising that they would even activate active Marines from Camp Pendleton. | ||
| I think Donald Trump will use full authority of the federal government. | ||
| Make sure that Los Angeles residents are safe. | ||
| Man, it is incredibly troubling. | ||
| And of course, we've seen the consequences of this democratic monopoly of power on California. | ||
| Streets flooded with homelessness and drug addiction and crime. | ||
| I mean, we haven't gotten into the fires, the Palisades fires, where they don't even respond to it and let the whole neighborhood burn. | ||
| I mean, California is collapsing under the weight of its own government. | ||
| And thank God Anthony Cabazza is there on the ground to hold them to account and film the consequences of this ideology. | ||
| Anthony Cabazza on X at Anthony Cabazza underscore. | ||
| Follow him on YouTube at informed with Anthony. | ||
| Anthony, thank you so much for coming with us. | ||

|
Thank you so much. | |
| Have a good one. | ||
| You too. | ||
| All right, folks, you got to go follow him at Anthony Cabasa. | ||
| Support him at Anthony Cabasa underscore on X. YouTube informed with Anthony. | ||
| Support him because, again, this is what the freeing up of X has allowed us to get the actual on-the-ground footage. | ||
| As it occurs, not the very carefully and very dishonestly filtered view of reality through the mainstream media that is focused entirely on framing this politically and trying to use it. | ||
| As weaponry against Trump. | ||
| Again, one of the issues with this is that, you know, even if they call Trump a dictator, what are they going to do? | ||
| Impeach him? | ||
| Republicans aren't going to go along with this. | ||
| I mean, the whole thing is just insane. | ||
| It just goes, I don't want to just reiterate myself over and over, but it's like, the fact that I even have to explain this, like, can I get it through to people's heads? | ||
| This is just an insurrection. | ||
| It's just the outbreak of civil war. | ||
| No more, no less. | ||
| And it's being sponsored by the Mexican government, first of all, encouraging its people to get out and mobilized. | ||
| It's being organized and activated by the elected authorities there, congresspeople like Maxine Waters, senators like Adam Schiff, the mayor of Los Angeles, the governor of Los Angeles. | ||
| All of these people are very clearly elected. | ||
| And of course, it's almost ironic that this follows last week when the big topic of conversation was Elon Musk freaking out about the budget bill. | ||
| Oh, it's the budget, is it? | ||
| On Friday, I was just tweeting out, you know, images of like what you're seeing on screen now, the chaos and violence and, you know, going, well, this is what happens when you, you know, this is what happens, folks, when you increase the debt ceiling, right? | ||
| I mean, Rand Paul tried to warn you. | ||
| Elon Musk tried to warn you, raise the debt ceiling, and, you know, this is what you end up with, right? | ||
| Or, on the other hand, are we ready to admit That the debt ceiling doesn't even rise to the top 10 biggest issues that we're looking at right now on screen. | ||
| You've got the treasonous activity of the leadership there. | ||
| You've got the invasion, the full-scale foreign invasion with mobs of Mexicans waving the Mexican flag as they attack American troops. | ||
| You've got the misinformation, the lies that are encouraging and inspiring this. | ||
| Treasonous activity of local officials leaking the location of ICE raids so activist groups can interfere and prevent the lawful arrest of criminals. | ||
| Oh, but the budget, though. | ||
| But it will be kind of expensive to do all of this, so I guess we just have to let them take over our country. | ||
| So I guess we just have to sit by and allow Mexico to reclaim territory we conquered two centuries ago. | ||
| And make no mistake, that is an underlying motive of like most of this, is the Mexican reconquista of the southwest of the United States. | ||
| They actually think it's Mexican land. | ||
| Despite the fact that when they were either driven off the land or allowed to become citizens, because you know that's what happened, right? | ||
| America went to war with Mexico. | ||
| We conquered all of Mexico. | ||
| We invaded and occupied Mexico City. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| We could have annexed all of Mexico. | ||
| What we chose to do was give them back Mexico, take the land from Arizona to California, and we said, everybody living there, you're just an American citizen now. | ||
| If you're there as a Mexican citizen in Pueblo, Colorado, or wherever, California, you're just an American citizen now. | ||
| will make it easy for you instead of expelling them or... | ||
| We gave it back to them. | ||
| And now they're trying to reconquer it through the force of just democratic, or demographic rather, invasion. | ||
| So maybe we should treat this like the war that it is. | ||
| So maybe when you've got foreigners waving foreign flags as they attack American troops, this is kind of like a war when you've got our troops cowering under a bridge because if they show themselves, they'll be attacked by the foreign troops and the foreign troops are getting Instruction from the local government on how to avoid the federal response? | ||
| Maybe we're in a state of civil war here. | ||
| And maybe we need to treat it like that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| I'm not the only one realizing. | ||
| Let's go to clip number five here. | ||
| This is posted with the title. | ||
| They're militant parasitic invaders looking to destroy and destabilize a country they did not build and do not love. | ||
| Here's one of the rioters, you know, celebrating with his Mexican flag. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, let's hope that no one is hurt and no one is injured and it doesn't escalate from here. | |
| Look at the flag. | ||
| There it is. | ||
| Mexican flag. | ||
| You know, this is criminal activity that I hope people are held accountable for. | ||
| And I'm talking about the riots right here. | ||
| Where are the cops? | ||
| Yeah, where are they? | ||
| They're allowing it to happen. | ||
| Again, like everything, this is... | ||
| And I think it's up to us to combat the framing, the dishonest framing of the left. | ||
| This is somehow Trump's fault. | ||
| He's instigating this by trying to deport foreigners. | ||
| You would think that on the face of it, that is an absurdity that would be rejected by anybody with two brain cells to rub together. | ||
| But they're all in on it. | ||
| They all know they're lying. | ||
| They're all collaborating and not saying exactly what they mean, knowing that as long as they keep it vague enough, they can feign ignorance as to what they're actually doing. | ||
| Gavin Newsom's like, just stay peaceful, guys. | ||
| You're playing into Trump's hand. | ||
| He and everybody listening to him knows what that means. | ||
| That just means as long as I'm in charge, you'll get to keep doing this. | ||
| I'm on your side. | ||
| Here's how we together fight the federal government. | ||
| Everybody should know that. | ||
| Unfortunately, we live in a land of retards, controlled by the media, who are themselves openly cheering for and helping to bring about the total destruction of the United States on purpose. | ||
| These are the authoritarians. | ||
| These are the tyrants. | ||
| They would not hesitate for a single second. | ||
| They didn't hesitate for a single second. | ||
| When it came to January 6th, they hunted everybody involved down. | ||
| They put people in jail for two decades who weren't even there but were in communication with people that happened to be there. | ||
| Enrique Tarrio was in prison during January 6th. | ||
| He got charged as a terrorist. | ||
| And sentenced to 20 plus years in prison. | ||
| The only option we have is to do it right back to them. | ||
| It's not just arrest all the protesters there, but to track down their networks, find their communications, and arrest them all under a giant RICO charge for treasonous and terroristic activities. | ||
| Up to and including the mayor and the governor and all these other people that are engaged in an open insurrection using the state power of California against the federal government. | ||
| And I don't know how to make it any more simple than that. | ||
| It's all up to Trump now. | ||
| And the last thing that we want and the real thing that sends shivers down my spine. | ||
| Is knowing that at any moment, they could launch a false flag attack. | ||
| And when you have tens of thousands of these protesters gathered in the street, do you know how tempting that is for the globalists? | ||
| To go send in some mind-controlled, groomed, neo-Nazi MKUltra victim to gun down 100 people? | ||
| In the instant that happens, you'll have this whole thing reframed. | ||
| Trump will be totally incapable of doing anything about this then because it will be, oh my god, Trump is siding with the white supremacist terrorist and he's fighting the victims of this horrible attack. | ||
| You'll see these exact types of scenes in every city around the country and they're already gearing up for this. | ||
| This was just sent to me on X. From LA to Denver, ICE out. | ||
| There's going to be a protest tomorrow at the Colorado State Capitol. | ||
| Continuing or, you know, basically just bringing what's happening in LA to Colorado. | ||
| We'll see this, I imagine, in most big cities controlled by Democrat operatives. | ||
| Once again, we're in this position where we could have stomped out what's happening right now when it was still a tiny spark, a little lick of flame. | ||
| Instead, The Republicans in power said, well, we don't want to go too hard, and, well, you know, they have a First Amendment, so we don't want to, you know, arrest the congressman for interfering with ICE. | ||
| And as you delay and waylay and don't take it seriously, now it's developed into a full-fledged inferno, conflagration, that threatens to burn the whole country down. | ||
