Knowledge Fight’s #524: Inauguration 2021 dissects Alex Jones’ network’s Inauguration Day coverage, where Harrison Smith and Stuart Rhodes of Oath Keepers peddle white nationalist conspiracy theories—like "genocide" via immigration or Biden appointees as Israeli spies—while Jones rants about "Communist Chinese spies" and missed false flags. Callers amplify anti-Semitic tropes (e.g., ritualistic murders) and secessionist calls, exposing the movement’s violent rhetoric and reliance on debunked memes. The episode reveals how Jones’ platform thrives on spectacle over substance, leaving audiences with paranoia instead of policy. [Automatically generated summary]
We were talking about this before we started recording as we were eating the chocolates, and your reason for choosing Ramolo is almost oppositional defiance.
I just assumed that one of them, if it's better, it's the less, or if the one that people assume is better is the one that we're supposed to say is not as good.
First things first, somebody reached out to me, sent me an email, and they had done a better job of converting my terrible PDF into an E-Pub and a Moby than I could ever do.
So today what we're going to be doing is we're going to be going over the American Journal hosted by Harrison Smith.
Okay.
Some other issues about Harrison Smith.
Right.
Then Alex Jones' show, Until John Rappaport takes over the fourth hour.
I was going to also do The War Room, but by that point, this thing had ground to a halt to such an extent that I just was like, I got no interest in this.
And the American Journal, I honestly think, was a bit more interesting than I expected it to be.
And there's some issues that we really need to talk about about this fucking ding-dong comparison.
Also, I'd like to say what could have been one of my bright spots is all the stories that are coming out about Alex losing his appeal in the Texas Supreme Court.
Oh, yeah.
We are aware of that, but inauguration must be taken care of before we jump down that road.
So we'll deal with that later in the week.
Absolutely.
For all those who are champing at the bit for us to get to that.
Before we get down to inauguration, though, we've got to thank some Joe Biden donors.
So there's an interesting dynamic that's going on throughout most of the coverage here on the 20th, and that is wrestling with Trump's legacy in the last hour of his presidency.
Harrison comes solidly down on the side of that dude done fucked up.
Yeah, it's tough, I guess, to hear aspiring authoritarian dictator servers sad that they don't get to, you know, that their guy wasn't strong enough to get them to the point where they could be his servants.
It's my experience that when you talk about being big enough to admit you're wrong, that's usually the byproduct of like introspection.
And it's clear that this isn't something that has been wrestled with or like, huh, what was it that led us down the road to thinking that Trump was going to be our king?
Rant Alex Jones went on yesterday that I think lays it out fairly well.
Because this is a war now.
If politics is war deferred, if politics is a replacement for war, where people we elect do our fighting for us in the halls of government rather than us brawling it out in the streets, that is no longer the case.
If you're over 50 or whatever, you might be able to live the rest of your life off your meager retirement, enjoy it, have a nice little place in the mountains, watch the sunset, drink your wine, listen to your old music.
But your children and your children's children are going to be a despised minority with no rights, no future, no ability to make anything of themselves, robbed constantly, and the money given to people who hate them.
So there seems to be very little difference between that mentality that Harrison is expressing and the tiki torch-wielding Nazis at the Unite the Right rally chanting Jews will not replace us.
I listen to InfoWars a lot, and even from my perspective, that was a very explicit, overt plea to white nationalism to the point where I was shocked by how blunt it was.
I was wondering what was up here, so I went to the American journal page on banned.video and there's some pretty mask-off stuff going on over there.
Harrison Smith is explicitly disseminating white nationalist narratives on the Infowars morning show, which I recall, if I recall correctly, is supposed to be almost entirely phone calls.
I didn't want to just point out that Harrison put out a video decrying his fears about white genocide and then say that the work was done.
There are far too many lazy commentators who will react to titles of things without looking at the body of the piece, and I strive not to fall into that trap.
So I watched the video.
The structure that Harrison is going for is to make the argument that the treatment of white Europeans in the United States is the same as the treatment of the Uyghur people by the Chinese government.
And if people are comfortable with saying that the treatment of the Uyghurs could be called genocide, then Harrison's well within his rights to claim that white people are the target of a genocide here and in Europe.
Right.
In order to bolster this claim, Harrison does some pretty predictable false equivalencies.
For instance, he mentions that the Chinese government is accused of forcing Uyghurs to be sterilized or be required to take birth control.
Harrison then claims that this is the same as the U.S. offering people birth control and that somehow decades of propaganda are responsible for people making family planning choices.
No, I don't think there's any way not to hear him say this and think what you're saying is white men are going to be treated like white men have treated everybody else in this country and that's worthy of killing everyone.
The first is that the guy who is interviewed by NPR does not say that the form of immigration that Harrison is discussing is genocide.
He says that it's a part of a, quote, policy of ethno-racial domination, which is still bad, but it's not the same thing.
Harrison stops reading right before the guy says, quote, the reason why this has changed, we do need to probably call it a genocide, is quite simply because the evidence now, for the first time, very specifically meets one of the five criteria set forth by the UN Convention for the Punishment and Prevention of the Crime of Genocide from 1948, which specifically says the suppression of birth.
This guy is clearly expressing that bringing the Han Chinese to replace Uyghur workers doesn't meet the definition of genocide.
But now that there's evidence of birth suppression, that does meet the definition, according to this guy.
Harrison is completely misrepresenting this researcher's words because his agenda is to yellowbite immigration to the United States and stress white aggrievement, not to cover any of these issues in a meaningful way that helps the audience better understand the world and hopefully pushes public opinion towards better policy preferences.
He's trying to make white people scared of non-white people, and he's trying to use the prop of the Chinese state oppression in order to justify his shoddy arguments.
None of the complaints that Harrison brings up here rise to the level of meeting the UN definition of genocide, which is the standard of the conversation as presented in his primary source.
Article 2, the UN Convention, lays out the five acts that constitute genocide.
And what makes it an even more difficult argument for Harrison to make is that it says, quote, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy in whole or in part a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group.
The word intent is going to be a really serious problem for Harrison.
The argument he's setting out to make requires that he somehow demonstrate that immigration of non-white people into the United States is being done with the intention of destroying in whole or in part white people.
That's going to be really impossible for him to do without slipping into explicit white supremacist or neo-Nazi conspiracy theories.
The United Nations Convention for the Punishment and Prevention of the Crime of Genocide from 1948 specifies the suppression of birth as one of the primary attributes of a genocide.
Now, if I was some sort of insane conspiracy theorist, I might point to the ongoing attempt by many, many mainstream outlets to suppress the birth rate of white Americans.
Say, white people don't have children.
You shouldn't have children, white people.
And it goes on and on and on.
We've seen this headline over and over again.
But that's not genocide.
That's a good thing because remember, white people bad.
Harrison Smith isn't seeing the media constantly saying that white people shouldn't have kids because they're not.
He's seeing things like interracial couples represented in commercials and sitcoms, and he's experiencing that as an attempt to say that white people shouldn't just reproduce with each other.
I decided to check out what happens when you Google white people shouldn't have kids.
Looking for some headlines, looking for some, you know, looking, digging around.
They don't say that white people shouldn't have kids.
The ninth result is a 2017 article out of the Independent titled, quote, seven reasons people shouldn't have children, according to science.
That has nothing to do with white people not having kids.
It's more of an exploration of the research into things like changing friendships after one person has a kid and the other doesn't, or how, according to one poll, quote, non-parents tend to lead healthier lifestyles than parents.
Then the results go back to being about people being able to talk about race with children.
The closest thing that gets really complex to really complex racial issues that you find is that there's a couple articles about the dynamics of adoption.
Yeah, and so you see some articles discussing that, but that's not what Harrison's talking about.
Yeah, yeah.
It took me until page seven of the search results to actually even find an article that's actually about people advocating that people not have children.
And again, it's not race-based.
It's a 2019 editorial piece in the BBC about a group called the Antinatalists, who just want no one to have kids.
I assume Harrison also looked up a lot of New York Times articles and the like from anywhere between 1878 and 1939, whenever everyone was advocating for black people to voluntarily not have children ever again.
So like I said, this entire argument really just hinges on Harrison trying to make the treatment of white people be equivalent to the Uyghur and other minority treatment in China.
Want to continue to lay out the case for white genocide, I guess, is what I'm doing here.
Because after all, I'm one of these theorists who think genocide is bad.
I know.
That's just nutty.
I have this weird consistency where I think the genocide of the Uyghur people in China is bad, and I think the genocide of European people in Europe is also bad.
I don't understand the complex geography that goes into determining whether one is bad or not.
I'm just such a simple guy.
To me, genocide equals bad, and I just don't have the college thinking, the university brain that's necessary to understand why it's good when it's against white people and bad when it's against the Uyghur minority.
It's that he's outrageously racist, and he's also unfortunately smart enough to know that it's bad for business to just admit that and live openly.
That's why he has to make these strained comparisons and false equivalencies to try to pretend that the experience of being white in the United States or in Europe is in any way comparable to being Uyghur in China.
That's a ludicrous proposition, and it's why he has to pretend that allegations of forced sterilization in China are the same as the availability of birth control here.
Any right-thinking person would hear that argument and recognize pretty quickly how stupid it is.
But that's because it's a crypto argument.
The argument or the false equivalence doesn't actually exist to be taken seriously.
It's only there because Harrison knows he can't come out and express his true white nationalist positions without consequences.
I wouldn't say that genocide against Uyghurs is bad and genocide against white people is good.
I would contest Harrison's point that the situations each group are facing are in any way comparable.
And that's where Harrison's argument would completely fall apart.
I know that because I was listening to a 20-minute video where he's trying to defend that premise, and he's failing embarrassingly and really letting his racism show.
But that said, The Lonely Shepherd by Zamfear slaps.
The 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, which has been ratified by at least 149 countries, including China, defines genocide as any of these acts committed with the attent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group, killing its members, causing them seriously bodily or mental harm.
By the way, vast, vast majority of suicides, vast majority of medication for depression is all on white people.
But that's a good thing because white people are evil.
So even assuming that everything Harrison just said is true from a statistical perspective, it's still meaningless in terms of his argument that there's a white genocide going on.
Again, he's using this 1948 UN definition of genocide that includes the word intent as a really important element of the definition.
I mean, Harrison works for Infowars, so he probably shouldn't even care what the UN thinks about the subject, but he's operating off that definition, so that's the conversation that's being had.
In order for his argument to carry any weight, Harrison is going to have to demonstrate and prove the following.
One, that there are, in fact, disproportionate medication and suicide rates between races that cannot be explained by other factors, like income inequality or access to health care.
Sure.
Two, that this is the result of a concerted plan by some group as an attempt to destroy white people.
Harrison can't even come close to either of these.
The best he can do is suggest that mental health practices like psychiatric medication are an attempt to kill off white people and suggest that that's the way it is because someone's out to get white people.
That's all he can do because there is no argument here.
There's only an appeal to emotion, only an appeal to fear.
This is an attempt to give racist people listening a way to express their racism without sounding racist.
And it's honestly pretty pathetic.
Also, a recent paper from the Division of Vital Statistics out of the CDC reflects that in 2017, once you adjust for population, the group with by far the highest rate of suicide is non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native women.
So, in order to bolster his claims that there's a white genocide going on, Harrison brings up the case of Ireland.
He seems to think that their entire population is going to be replaced with immigrants because of a need to do so in order to make their pension system work.
Here's the profoundly racist and idiotic way that his segment on white genocide ends.
And I will explain to you on the other side why this is very dumb.
I don't like what's happening to the Uyghurs in China.
We should be defending these people who are being systematically eradicated by their governmental organizations.
And on the other hand, I don't want the people of Ireland to be systematically eliminated by their superstate governmental organization.
I don't think the pension system is worth replacing every single person in your country with a foreigner.
There's plenty to go around.
Hell, there's more Bangladeshis in a single district of a single city of that country than there are in the entire nation of Ireland.
So maybe we can help out Ireland.
Maybe we can help increase the birth rates.
Maybe we can stop this genocide, at least in Ireland, and then maybe we can expand that to the rest of the world and recognize that white people are a global minority, the least population out of any racial division.
If you want to take the big ones, Asian, black, whatever.
Whites are the smallest and they're being genocided.
The problem is that Harrison didn't do any work, like even reading the article.
The first thing that jumps out at you if you do read the article is that the idea that the country needed 4 million migrants to make the pension system work was something that was used as an illustration of the problem the country was facing regarding having an aging population and meeting the pensions in a meeting of the pensions committee.
It wasn't being suggested as the plan to fix the pension system.
They were saying that by 2051, they would need 4 million new people paying into the system to balance out all the people over 65 drawing from it.
If Harrison wasn't such a dopey racist fuck, he would have kept reading to the part of the article where it says, quote, but the statistician and commission members say it's unlikely that net inward migration will reverse the current trends, and some migrants would become pensioners themselves.
This article is about a discussion of why this wouldn't be a solid plan to fix the pension system, because if that were the only approach taken, you'd end up creating more net problems for the pension system than you fix.
The article goes on to say, quote, Irish fiscal advisory council chair Sebastian Barnes said tax and spending would have to adjust to fund pensions, while pension age would need to rise.
Social Protection Minister Heather Humphreys spoke at the first meeting and made it clear that a reduction in the amount of state pension was not to be considered.
This article is not about Ireland bringing in 4 million migrants to fix the pension system, but the headline is written in such a way that it's easy to use it that way.
The 4 million number is used as an illustration of the imbalance that'll exist between those paying into the system and those drawing from it.
But because the headline is poorly written and because Harrison's a lazy, craven racist, this article can be used to justify an argument that Ireland is engaging in white genocide in order to save its pension system.
Harrison knows what he's doing.
He knows that this article isn't about bringing in 4 million migrants to Ireland, but he also knows that because it looks like it is, he can mislead his audience into thinking that it is and hide his racist agenda behind that misrepresentation.
Anyway, that's the end of our side tour through Harrison Smith's piece on white genocide.
I can say with a fair amount of confidence that this special report was quite possibly the most transparent and most poorly argued racism I've ever seen on InfoWars.
It's the racism equivalent of Harrison saying that the capital had fallen and patriots were in charge on January 6th.
He is a fucking Yeah, this is because what is he saying whenever he says we can stop the genocide of Ireland is just we can make sure that Ireland remains a white nation and then we can save everybody else.
So Europeans for European nations, Africans for African nations, Chinese people for China, and no mixing at all.
It's like using story math problems as a, like, okay, if the migrant caravan is racing towards the border at 60 miles an hour, but the white nationalists are going towards the border from the opposite direction at 50 miles an hour, then the white people will be exterminated.
I started to wonder about this, and I really, one of the things that I think is interesting is that, like, yeah, I mean, a lot of the same themes are exactly the same as what Alex talks about, but just more crypto.
Like, Alex is way, way less close to the edge, let's say, than Harrison, because he knows that there's consequences for being too overtly racist.
People will treat you in a certain way.
He'll lose his ability to argue, oh, everyone says I'm a racist.
They all lie about me.
That kind of shit.
I just wonder.
You know, it makes me feel like there's two possible dynamics.
And one is that, like, Alex is thinking, fuck it, let Harrison do a show that's extreme as hell.
I mean, Harrison isn't even smart enough to do the dumbest, easiest thing that you can possibly do, which is immediately do what Alex does after saying something that's explicitly white nationalist and say, now, you know me.
I don't care about white, black, Hispanic, or whatever.
So Harrison is going on here on Inauguration Day, and he's talking about how the mainstream media, the MSM, the globalists, they've taken the people who believe that Trump won and they've turned the idea that Trump won into the big lie that they're being misrepresented.
This they're calling the big lie, and they're saying, even pointing this out, or people trying to represent their constituents who are all calling out, saying, this was fake.
Please, for the love of God, you're supposed to be our representative.
Please say something.
Please stop this deal from going forward.
They are now being portrayed as racist, fascist, implementing a new Jim Crow.
I mean, this is absurd.
This is beyond anything we've ever experienced before.
And at the heart of it, this is a war against white people.
I was like, okay, when I sat down to prepare this episode, I was thinking, all right, I'll breeze through Harrison's dumbass, and then we'll get to Alex, and that'll be when the episode really begins.
No, this is going to be half the episode probably talking about Harrison's.
When Donald Trump won, duly elected, nobody expected it, but he did it.
He pulled it out.
He pulled through.
He got elected president of the United States.
Everybody was very, very concerned about authoritarianism.
I'll tell you, if in 2016, before the Trump inauguration, D.C.
Was filled with 65,000 troops, and there were people going on TV who were heads of the army, saying we need to have purity tests and we need to kick out anybody that doesn't adhere to our view of what it is to be an American, and the entire National Mall was covered in flags because they weren't letting any people come, and the entire city of Washington, D.C. Was locked down, like the green zone in Iraq,
I would have been a little freaked out.
I would have thought, oh, God, maybe this is the authoritarianism they're warning about.
Of course, that didn't happen.
None of that happened.
Nothing Trump was authoritarian in the slightest.
I wish it had been more so.
I wish he had been more like the monster that they portrayed him as.
Maybe we wouldn't be in the situation we're in now if he'd actually used an iron fist.
Yeah, it wasn't that we committed, oh, well, I mean, some could argue even a genocide with intent to kill the poor if you go back and look at Kushner's fucking statements.
And then in terms of like the screening of service members, that is also because some were involved in storming the Capitol.
There was that.
Yeah, so I mean, like, I think that when you have a situation like that, it's important not to allow yourself to give in to the impulse to go on a McCarthy-esque witch hunt.
But at the same time, the conversation about extremism and extremists infiltrating law enforcement and the services, like that is something that is long overdue.
But you have to retain your sensibility about it.
You can't just be like, oh, this guy donates to the Heritage Foundation, therefore he's an extremist.
I was just calling in because I've been listening for 11 years in silence, but it prompted me to make my own YouTube channel that was inspired partly by InfoWars and by a political prisoner named Charles Dyer, Sergeant Charles Dyer, known as July 4 Patriot on YouTube.
In case you're curious, Charles Dyer is not a political prisoner.
In 2012, he was convicted of sexually abusing his six-year-old daughter and sentenced to 30 years in jail.
He's been turned into the hero of the extreme right wing, who curiously call everyone they don't like pedophiles because he was a member of the Oath Keepers and was the type of extreme right-wing militia guy that when his house was searched, they found a fucking grenade launcher.
Anyway, it says a whole lot about a fellow when they call into Harrison's show and say they were inspired to start a YouTube channel because of InfoWars and Charles Dyer.
So we've been over this before, but when you hear a right-wing dumb-dumb like this caller bring up someone having dual citizenship with Israel, it's an expression of deep anti-Semitism.
This guy wants to complain that Biden has Jewish people in his cabinet, but he knows that that looks bad.
So he tries to couch things, you know, tries to couch that hatred of Jews and language that has to do with concerns about dual citizenship.
This is a classic neo-Nazi talking point that the Jewish criminals who they believe run the world, they don't care that what they're doing is illegal because their Jewish heritage gives them right of return citizenship in Israel.
So they can just flee there and avoid being held accountable.
This caller, incidentally, is just responding to a meme that went around on Twitter from an account called Syndrome of a Down, which claimed, quote, all 10 of Biden's high-profile appointees are Jews.
That's right, every single one.
This is accompanied by a screenshot depicting 10 Biden appointees next to Israeli flags, which is unsettling.
This is a really simple game this Nazi is playing where they just cherry-pick Jewish people Biden has appointed to various offices, then assert baselessly that these 10 are the most high-profile appointees, whatever that means, and that it's suspicious that these people are Jewish.
Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haynes, White House Chief of Staff, Ron Klain, Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, Deputy Secretary of State, Wendy Sherman, Secretary of State for Political Affairs, Victoria Newland, the Office of Science and Technology Policy, Eric Lander, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, David S. Cohen.
Now, call me crazy.
I think the people serving in our government, serving in the American government, should not be dual citizens with another country.
That's really, really bad when you traffic in dual loyalty tropes about Jewish Americans.
It's super basic stuff in terms of anti-Semitism, and I can explain one of the reasons why it's really obvious.
Harrison's complaint is that these people are dual citizens in the United States and Israel.
Having dual citizenship in this case is defined solely as these people being Jewish.
Insisting that people who have dual citizenship being in government is suspicious or wrong is really just a way for these people to say that they think Jewish people shouldn't be in government without having to say something so obviously anti-Semitic.
Harrison isn't an idiot.
He understands this dynamic fully well.
He's a flagrant bigot who knows that Daddy Alex will fire him if he speaks too freely, I suspect.
And so you do stuff like this.
This is outrageous.
Yeah, this can't be like I was I was I was aghast at this.
Well, remember, there was this nice, sweet little Jewish lady who came onto Oprah and said that within the Jewish community, there are people who are not Jewish.
They're hiding under Judaism, but they're not Jews.
They don't follow Moses.
They don't follow the Torah.
They don't follow the Ten Commandments.
So if you're a Jew and you actually follow the Ten Commandments, you're not the problem.
We're not talking about you.
But there are people who hide behind this Judaism, and she openly admitted they are breeding babies with really obese people who you can't until they're pregnant, and then they do satanic rituals.
And when Oprah asked her, why are you doing this?
She goes, for power, like it was an obvious thing, like you should know.
So I don't think these people are actually Jews.
I think they're part of a organization that is satanic that is hiding behind Judaism.
This Oprah segment that the caller is bringing up is from May 1989, and it was a huge embarrassment for Oprah.
What happened is that there was that whole satanic panic going on in America.
The McMartin preschool trial was in its like sixth year, and lurid stories of ritualistic satanic abuse were widespread.
The idea that they were widespread in every neighborhood, that was drawing ratings.
Oprah tried to do an episode of her talk show about ritualistic satanic abuse cases, and one of her guests was a Jewish woman who told all sorts of insane stories about her family performing ritual murders since the 1700s, that it was prevalent in Jewish families, and the police knew about it and didn't do anything.
Oprah had attempted to frame the conversation by introducing the guest as someone who was, quote, mentally disturbed and under psychiatric care, but I think that's not good enough.
A better move would not be doing this kind of interview with someone you have to preemptively introduce as an unreliable source of information.
Somehow, Ellen was just a dick in 1989 and have this kind of a scandal.
And granted, you know, I was able to find a bunch of articles about Oprah meeting with leaders in the Jewish community, apologizing and responding to criticism.
I would say I think that, I mean, maybe there's just a simple explanation, which is that Harrison isn't rich enough to want to protect money more than hate anybody who's not white.
So Harrison takes another call, and apparently, what needs to happen is, you know how InfoWars is obsessed with the idea that there are no-go zones all over Europe?
Okay, well, then we're going to move into a very new dynamic.
And I've said it before, I think geographic proximation will suddenly become very important.
I think you need to find like-minded people that you can be near, that you can protect each other, that you can actually put up a substantial force in order to prevent the American forces from coming in and robbing you of the rights that you have as a sovereign individual.
I think, you know, personally, maybe I'm a little biased because I'm from Texas, but I can't think of a better place to gather patriots and say, everybody who's out there in America, I know it would suck to have to leave your home and go to a different place, but if we stay disseparated, if we stay sort of in these small pockets around around, they'll come one by one and scoop us all up.
We have to gather in a single place.
We have to defend that place.
We have to create areas of land that the powers that be cannot break into, cannot get into.
We need to have our own autonomous zones around the country.
Racial equity, which basically means robbing white people and rewarding non-white people in order to basically do a genocide on white people.
I mean, it's not, let's not mince words here.
Everything that the Chinese are doing to the Uyghur Muslims are exactly what the plans are for the Biden administration for white people.
I mean, when you say it's a good thing and we're making policy in order to decrease the share of the population that white people hold, that is a genocidal policy.
Again, let's not mince words.
Let's not pretend like this is something that it isn't.
This is a genocidal policy to essentially eradicate anybody from standing up against these people.
And it all has to do with the fact that white people historically have been the only civilization, as far as the world is concerned, that actually puts in freedom into their governmental organizations.
And that is mostly based on the fact that Christianity is a European religion.
Yeah, and I'm just popping in for a segment here to invite all your wonderful viewers to have our live coverage coming up here in just about 39 minutes of the installation, the inauguration of the Communist Chinese Spy Biden.
Because otherwise, the only place you're watching the American fucking journal is on InfoWars' streams, which would automatically start playing Alex's show afterwards.
And so they don't want a big mainline debate about this.
They want to have it be esoteric.
So they created a secret society to make people think they were in the inside group with military intelligence and that everything was going to be fine.
So people could be pacified.
I'm going to move on from Q at that point.
We'll talk about what Biden's going to do, how they're going to strangle this country during the inauguration.
And afterwards, I do not have COVID or anything.
I had some dental work done and got a little infection back on one of my tonsils.
I've been to see the doctor.
It's localized.
It's fine.
About a dime-sized brothel in the back of my throat.
But I'm fine.
I never take painkillers, but I'm actually on painkillers right now.
So Harrison just plays Biden's speech, his acceptance speech, and he interrupts kind of limitedly because I think that he's just hoping that Biden will make a big flub that he can then respond to.
So we are not going to be commercial-free, I guess, until 6 o'clock tonight when we take calls up until 10 p.m. and have a whole raft of special guests here.
I hadn't listened to the commercials on InfoWars itself for a while because I generally listen through the feeds that have Genesis Communications commercials on them.
The Pope came out yesterday and announced a global government corporate alliance to redistribute wealth, create a planetary universal income, which of course the United Nations and global corporations will control through the apps on your phone and finally a chip under your skin.
It's all now completely official, part of the UN Great Reset of the Debos Cooper and Klaus Schwab, all officially written about in hundreds of books by Schwab and Rockefeller Foundation, all the rest of them.
Agenda 21, agenda 2030, it's here.
And only gets worse like being fed into a wood chipper or a meat grinder until you reject it all.
And the rejection starts with realizing it's spiritual battle, good versus evil, and stopping abortion.
He's straight up been on InfoWars talking about how Trump needs to deputize him and all of his buddies, the militias, call them up to restore order in the country.
Yeah, of course he's disappointed.
He was really excited.
This was as close as he was probably ever going to get to a president being like, yep, you guys are my army now.
Look, I can't say enough how stressed out I was when I was listening to this because I got really caught with a left hook out of nowhere by Harrison's overt racism and anti-Semitism.
That made going through his shit much more of a slog than I expected, and it made it like it was taxing.
And then at the same time, it filled me with all kinds of thoughts about like, all right, I guess the morning show on InfoWars now is just like white nationalists.
And that seemed like a bad direction for things to be going.
Then you get into InfoWars itself, like Alex's show, and you got Stuart Rhodes coming in, and it's just like frank discussion about like the government isn't real.
But the Q people, I mean, only silver lining in all this, maybe the Q people will finally shut up because all they did the entire time, even up until last night, was, oh no, the troops are there to arrest the bad guys.
It's just delusional nonsense.
Q was an absolute psyop and well done one, what they call a lullaby to get you all to be lulled into a false sense of security and just be asleep.
That's what happened.
For four years, you had people sitting on their hands doing nothing, waiting, saying, Trust the plan, waiting for this miraculous day that never came.
It was a masterful psyop.
But now you got to wake up, smell the coffee, and realize now you got to do it the hard way.
You got to do it the same way the founding fathers did.
People like Alex and Stuart Rhodes and like, you know, these people who thought that they had something that they could gain from QAnon until it got to a point where they realized, nope, I can't gain anything from this.
And now they sound like people who we are associated with.
Like all of a sudden, they're pretending that people who have maybe more left politics.
People like the guys at QAnon Anonymous haven't been like banging the drum for a long time, talking about the dangers and the misleading nature of QAnon.
Like, I have no patience for this.
You guys have all just jumped onto this now because you realize, well, that's our stick to beat.
What he's saying is that Q people, because they were lulled into a false sense of security, did not show up on the 6th in order to overthrow the government like he wanted.
But I think it's more like the way that they intend it is more like there's organizing that you could do.
There's information warfare you could engage in that you were you were lulled into a false sense of security about you thought Trump was bulletproof, but there's other things you could you could have been banging on doors in Georgia.
But I think it's, I think it's, I see it like this.
Yes, there were procaturas that made sure the doors were wide open, but I think it's important for all of us not to use the rhetoric of the left, condemn everyone that walked in the Capitol as, you know, storming the castle or storming the Capitol and engaging in insurrection.
We should just say, look, at the most, they were trespassing.
Thomas Caldwell, Jessica Watkins, and Donovan Kroll are all oath keepers from Ohio, and they're going to prison for a long time.
According to an article in the Daily Beast, Caldwell stands accused of organizing a group of eight people to aggressively disrupt the certification of the Electoral College vote.
The group used Facebook and the Walkie Talkie Appzello to communicate, which is really fucking stupid because now the FBI has all that shit, including them messaging with someone on Facebook who was apparently encouraging them to kill members of Congress, saying, quote, all members are in the tunnels under the Capitol.
Bill Gates is going to inject us all with computer chips to know where we are at all times so we need to protect ourselves by using unencrypted apps while in the Capitol.
After leaving the Capitol, Caldwell posted on Facebook, quote, Proud Boys scuffled with cops and drove them inside to hide, breached the doors.
One guy made it all the way to the House floor.
Another to Pelosi's office.
A good time.
We need to do this on the local level.
Let's storm the Capitol in Ohio.
Tell me when.
In this individual case, Stewart's personal hands may be clean.
One of the messages that the FBI had in the charging document was Caldwell saying, quote, I don't know if Stewie has even gotten out his call to arms, but it's a little freaking late.
I guess you could say that the best case scenario for Stuart Rhodes is to say that he's responsible for starting a decentralized right-wing extremist militia organization that he has so little control over that now it's being used by members to plan militaristic takeovers of state and federal capitol buildings.
Also, he might be in hot water because the charging document for those oath keepers does include a charge of conspiracy, and it explicitly alleges that they, quote, conspired together and with others whose identities are known and unknown to law enforcement at this time.
That's not a great sentence to see when you're the head of an organization that these people who were going to jail for a very long time were conspiring in.
What I'm saying is, I would still be worried if I were Stuart, even though that, you know, the Stewie thing is pretty good for him.
I just can't stand this overly dramatic person making these petty complaints simultaneously being the leader of a fucking militia where people did storm the Capitol and seem to have pretty nefarious intent.
You know, like when you're so used to having uncontrollable and impenetrable privilege your entire life and the lives of your forebears, I get that the idea of equality is threatening to you.
I think you will see more organizing against or in order to push policy for Biden from the left than you will from the right.
You'll see culture war nonsense and just a bunch of aggrievement from the right, and you'll see an attempt to form more coherent social policy on the left.
I find it hard to think that, you know, like watching Portland happen just recently.
Since the inauguration, watching the way the cops reacted, it struck me that more likely what we're going to see from the Capitol riot is not that people are going to go back to DC, but that cops are going to fuck people up at home.
You know, like the DC overthrow is going to everybody's home and it's cops fucking people up.
I think the funny thing, the funniest thing about that is that the only people who would be furious at the results of us going to entirely paper ballots would be these people.
I have zero doubt in my mind that if we were using paper ballots, Stacey Abrams would have been governor of Georgia.
I would say that one thing that would be even more helpful than paper ballots would be having a holiday for elections, having multiple days that people can vote, which are things that people are doing.
I'm just always trying to steer you as accurate as I can with the best info I have, with real research and real historical understanding and quote sources.
But I'll tell you, most of the time, I know more than my sources.
One of the other things I think is really funny is just imagining just any other show where somebody interviews somebody about Medicare policy or something like that.
And then they're like, you know what?
I know way more about Medicare than these assholes that I have on.
I think Trump's great skills is marketing, and his great asset is his brand.
And so he should leverage both to look at an independent news media network, independent information distribution network, independent social media platforms, maybe even look at independent banks and financial institutions.
The reality is there's going to be huge demand for all of those things from people that are Trump supporters because of the censorship campaigns and the blacklisting campaigns by the institutional media, by employment institutions, by financial institutions, by the social media oligarchs.
The only way to counteract that is to have our own networks to do to replicate and repeat what InfoWars has done.
Build an independent brand that's not dependent at all either on corporate donations or sugar daddy billionaires, but also isn't dependent on big tech distribution platforms either.
The InfoWars is the model and the template for the president to mirror and follow in a broader context of industry.
I'm not sure that I would want to be involved with a bank that's modeled after InfoWars.
Like, I don't think I would feel confident having my money held by people who are constantly ranting about the devil and how they might be out of business next week.
That's what was one of the things that will go a long way in terms of making investors and depositors not make a rush on their money trying to get it out.
I think that Alex is maybe here's what I want to do.
And I don't think Barnes would like it too much if this were actually enacted.
I think it would remind me more of like the mining towns in the 1890s and early 1900s where the guy who owned the mine also printed your money, owned your home, ran everything there, printed the newspaper.
We've got like a 20-minute one, but here's a minute and a half compilation of them calling for reprogramming re-education camps of the American people.
I took this compilation clip by clip and I found the context for each of them and I found that none of them really had anything to do with putting conservatives in camps or anything even close.
And I was thinking like, what the fuck is going on?
I spent a long time sorting this out.
And then at the end of the compilation, it didn't matter because Alex said this.
Harvard now want to set up kind of re-education camps and moral rehabilitation centers and institutions for vetting people who had the chutzpah to work in the Trump administration.
Yeah, so I guess Barnes is still around, but who cares?
Alex breaks into your interview to say that he did find one of the clips, but unfortunately, it's not a leftist saying they want to put conservatives in camps.
It's just another right-winger complaining about his fear that leftists are going to put conservatives in camps.
This is noted Epstein lawyer Alan Dershowitz complaining about Harvard students starting a petition to encourage the school to not hire anyone who worked for the Trump administration.
I think we put so much attention on it and told Patriots, don't go out and demonstrate on the 20th that we may have dodged a bullet, although that's knock on wood.
Yeah, so we stopped it from happening by saying it, but so awful.
Anyway, Alex has Matt Bracken on, noted race war predictor, Matt Bracken, noted shoddy diagram fan, Matt Bracken, noted e-book about race war salesman, Matt Bracken.
He's on, and the two of them have a largely unproductive conversation.
And I think Alex is so bored that he just leaves.
Like, not in the same way as during his interview with Jason Jones.
I thought I would celebrate the Biden inauguration by putting myself in a virtual loft, as you can see behind me, in a virtual city that is on virtual lockdown, and my refrigerator is stocked with virtual food.
Because it was, of course, a virtual inauguration after a virtual election.
Look, if you're InfoWars and you're saying we're going to do a live 10-hour broadcast, that's not because you think the inauguration is going to go well.
No, or that you have like some analysis or something.
