#951: August 2, 2024 dissects Alex Jones’ baseless claims that the Secret Service "stood down" during President Trump’s July 2024 assassination attempt, accusing Garland, Mayorkas, and Rowe of orchestration without evidence. Jones’ Godfather-style advice to Trump—publicly blaming officials preemptively—risks sabotaging accountability. The episode also critiques Tommy Robinson’s £100,000 defamation conviction for falsely linking a refugee to violence, his profit-driven incitement of migrant attacks, and his cowardly retreat to Cyprus. Their conspiracy-driven rhetoric, amplified by Musk’s Twitter, exploits public anger while offering no solutions, proving their shared discrediting in 2024’s polarized media landscape.

It was interesting to watch because outside of Uncle Howdy, I don't feel like there's anybody else who walks into a room and it's like, ooh, things are different now.
But Uncle Howdy, still lurking in the background, made no appearance at SummerSlam, which makes sense because it's summer.
You don't want a guy with a top hat and a crazy leather coat on?
Skibbitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybitybity I'm a policy wonk.
No. 20 days ago, in Butler, Pennsylvania, the deep state tried to kill President Trump, and I told you that day it was a clear stand-down.
I have followed and studied how the Secret Service operates going back to the days of Abraham Lincoln.
And at key points in history, they stand down so that presidents can be killed.
They stood down with Lincoln.
They stood down, of course, with JFK.
They stood down with Ronald Reagan.
They stood down with President Trump.
And we now have multiple high-level whistleblowers from the Secret Service and local police all telling the same story.
No threat assessment team that makes the calls into the snipers and gives the orders on who to kill was there.
And the now acting director, who was the deputy director at the time, Ronald Rowe, who testified this week that he didn't know who cut down the staff.
He lied directly, even worse than Fauci lied.
Totally cut and dry.
To the Senate, serious felony crimes, and said repeatedly, we aired the clips here, you saw them, it was all over the news, that he didn't know, and that standard procedure was being followed.
We're leading tens of thousands in a peaceful protest in England, arrested for terrorism.
Police said protesting open borders is terror.
The Prime Minister's come out and defended the young black illegal alien that stabbed and killed three young children and said that basically they're the bad people.
We've discussed him in great detail in the past, so to give a brief refresher, Tommy Robinson is a career violent street agitator and anti-Muslim propagandist who exists solely to attack immigrants and then play the victim to encourage other white people to attack immigrants further.
We've seen him involved in a number of hoaxes over the years meant to incite rage against immigrants, and he's involved in another one now.
This has to do with the case of Axel Raducabana, a 17-year-old from the UK who is charged with killing three young girls at a Southport Taylor Swift-themed yoga and dance workshop.
Obviously, the case is horrifying and a complete tragedy, and I don't mean to minimize any of that.
In the aftermath of the attack and arrest, the details about the perpetrator's identity were kept private because he was 17, which is normal in the United Kingdom.
They don't always release these details.
When he was seen at the Liverpool Crown Court, however, the judge did not impose this prohibition for the case, so the media was able to cover the details about the charged person.
In the meantime, in that period where no one knew any details, right-wing anti-immigrant agitators like Tommy Robinson began a campaign to blame migration for these murders.
They were certain that the attacker was a migrant, and if the government had just bowed to their white nationalist demands, this guy would have never been there to carry this attack out, and the fact that they weren't releasing details about him was proof that they were covering it up, as opposed to him being a 17-year-old and them not...
Releasing that stuff all the time.
This narrative stuck and it prompted days of protest that at times broke out into violence.
However, once the suspect was seen in court and his identity was revealed, it turns out that he was born in Britain, he wasn't an immigrant, and has no known connections to terrorism.
The folks like Tommy Robinson want to fight.
They want street violence and they will take or manufacture any opportunity to incite it.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer put it quite well, quote, Tommy Robinson is one of the most high-profile people who's absolutely bent on violence, and he has been for years.
It's very distressing to see him on this show, particularly at this point, when there's every reason to know that the premise of the outrage that he is the front person, Right.
Right.
There is no excuse to associate with Tommy Robinson in 2024.
Sure.
You know better.
Yeah.
Incidentally, just today, it's coming out that this violence has been spreading.
In Rotterdam, police faced down with a violent crowd trying to storm a hotel where asylum seekers were housed.
This mob sought to kill the migrants housed there and set the building on fire.
The AP covered the story and said, quote, rallying cries have come from a diffuse group of social media accounts, but a key player in amplifying them is Stephen Yexley Lennon, a longtime far-right agitator who uses the name Tommy Robinson.
He led the English Defense League, which Mercydale Police has linked to the violent protest in Southport on Tuesday, a day after the stabbing attack.
Tommy Robinson is actively involved in trying to incite real-world violence against migrants in the UK, and it's having its desired effect.
Alex is an active and eager participant in that effort, which I hope ends up being a problem for him.
As Prime Minister Starmer said, This is not a protest.
It's organized violent thuggery, and it has no place in our streets or online.
And so Tommy is coming on to basically make things worse.
Listen, I don't think the government should say out loud that a certain group of people is bent on violence, because that kind of eliminates any possibility of talking to them.
So if that's the case, then they have to step up.
Because they're not doing that.
So if you're going to claim that other people are bent on violence and then do fuck all about it, I mean, somebody should.
Huge news on the economy, obviously, with the stock market and these job numbers that are so bad coming out.
Thanks to Gavin Newsom, the biggest business booster for Texas, our great state's ever seen, Chevron, that's Standard Oil, folks, that's Rockefeller, is coming to Tejas that will bring hundreds of billions of dollars in the next few years to the state.
Shouldn't Alex see this as a sign that Texas has bad policies?
If the monopoly-hungry Rockefeller oil company feels like it's in their business interest to leave California and go to Texas, it heavily implies that Texas is much more of a friendly place for monopoly-hungry evil corporations.
I don't think Alex fully thought this one through before he started celebrating the money that's going to come into the state.
The Rockefellers and all their evil stuff isn't working out in California because the government has made policies that make it more difficult for the evil Rockefellers to operate.
I said, next they're going to say Iran's going to kill Trump.
And then they're going to start a war with Iran, which you now see happening, and blow Trump up or something, or shoot his airplane down and say that it was the Iranians.
And then they came out and said that.
I mean, I'm inside their heads.
But what else did I say around here?
I said, Trump has to come out, and he can pack the local secret, the Secret Service that, you know, try to protect him and say, okay, they're good.
That's fine.
But he's got to say Mayorkas and Roe and Garland are guilty of this.
It's obvious the people know it.
He doesn't just go back to Butler to draw attention to this.
He needs to do it now.
Not through his surrogates, not through Don Jr., not through JD Vance, not through Alex Jones, not through Tucker Carlson.
He has to do it himself.
This is a no-brainer.
The people know it's true.
And Trump has to say, I'm really concerned they're going to try to kill me again.
They clearly stood down.
He can go over the evidence.
He can talk about it, and he needs to talk about it every day.
Because they're going to try again.
But if he lets them know that if I get killed, like the Godfather says in that famous scene, guys, pull up Godfather commission meeting.
Oh, my God.
Godfather one commission meeting.
They're all around a big table.
And one mob boss's son's been killed, and Don Corleone's son's been killed, and he says, I won't be the one to break the peace as long as I'm alive, but I'm a, you know, person that loves my family, and I have selfish reasons.
I don't want any of my other family killed, and so I will not break the peace if you don't, and so they make a deal.
But he says, but let me say this.
If my other son, Michael, who's now coming back to the United States, You know, killed the police captain.
When he comes back, if he should be struck by a bolt of lightning, or if a police officer should shoot him in the head, or if he should fall down some stairs, I added that.
It does kind of set a really prime opportunity for an accelerationist who's really looking for some sort of trouble to kill Trump after he has set down the gauntlet that if I die, it was you.
And these people can control themselves, like Matt Gaetz or Jim Jordan can control themselves to speak when it's their turn and be a dick, as opposed to Alex, who just can't.
He just, I'm just going to be a dick all the time.
If I was going to devise a Bill and Ted-style hell for a hard, honest, just regular-ass person who's trying to do their best, it would be forcing them to sit in Congress trying to explain what happened while Alex does that to them.
And they control the Justice Department, so he thinks he's safe.
But why is he so scared?
Because the public opinion is totally against him, and now they can't kill Trump because they know they'll get the blame, which is what I told you 20 days ago is kiki-kiki.
And we can all stand up and be men and say, I don't know how this is all going to end, but if you guys want to fight, you better believe you've got one!
How about fighting Tommy Robinson, arresting for terrorism, for having a peaceful demonstration in England?
So apparently a sign of humanity waking up is Tommy Robinson being arrested for terrorism?
He got some weird messaging.
So at this point, Tommy had been arrested for breaching an order saying that he cannot repeat very specific lies that he's told in the past.
This traces back to how he was successfully sued by a Syrian teenager named Jamal Hijazi, who Tommy had falsely accused of violence and who Tommy had led a media campaign against.
As a part of the case's conclusion, it was made clear to Tommy that he needed to stop making the underlying claims that got him sued because they weren't true.
He was just slandering a teenager.
That case ended in July 2021, but recently Tommy has started making these claims again.
Quote, including in a film distributed online, according to the BBC.
This has to do with a documentary about him called Silenced, in which he pretends that he was right about all the lies he told, which he was telling to incite hatred against migrants.
He was warned that releasing this film would be in violation of the order that stemmed from the lawsuit he lost, but then about 48 hours later, Tommy screened the film at a protest in Trafalgar Square.
Tommy was ordered to appear before the high court to determine if his actions were in violation of the court's order, and they definitely were.
But in the time before that court date, Tommy was caught at the Channel Tunnel Terminal in Folkestone, which gave police a strong sense that he was planning to flee the country, so they arrested him.
He was held briefly, released on bail, and then he proceeded to flee the country.
At the point of this interview, there's violence breaking out against migrants due to complete lies that Tommy has been selling about the dance class attacker being a migrant.
As this goes down, the crowds chant his name while he's been hiding out in a luxury resort in Cyprus.
He's doing this interview with Alex from his suite in that fancy vacation spot where he gets to chase publicity and crowdfund more vacation bucks by inciting terrorist actions against vulnerable people.
Of all the people in Alex's orbit, there are very few who are as clearly monstrous as Tommy He's been transparently a fraud and a violent bigot since the very beginning I mean, the irony of hearing this story so soon after is that I think the only way that the judge or any judge could appropriately deal with Tommy Robinson is to go, you!
So the game Tommy is playing here is really transparent if you just pay a little bit of attention.
Here's how the recipe goes.
You start with a rally that's based around intense dog whistling that borders on messaging saying something like, us whites are taking the country back.
This will attract a crowd, both of your supporters and of counter-protesters, and the odds of some kind of chaos breaking out that'll get you media attention is pretty good.
You've got a good chance of this being something that's explosive.
To guarantee that you're able to play the victim, You can air a documentary that explicitly violates the terms of a lawsuit that you previously lost at said rally.
That way, even if no chaos breaks out, there is a damn good chance that you're going to end up getting arrested for this rally, and you can pretend that you're being persecuted.
When that does happen and you get arrested for the thing you did intentionally in order to guarantee that you get arrested, all you have to do is pretend that you're being arrested for a different reason.
Ignore the whole I lied about a teenager and got sued thing and just pretend that they arrested you because you're too effective and you're too peaceful of a civil rights leader for white people.
It's all a charade, and if you pay attention to what he's saying and what he's doing, it's pretty obvious that this is why he restated these slanderous claims in this documentary and why he aired the documentary at the rally.
Tommy's entire scam is about aggrievement, so he needs to always be the victim.
By repeating lies about a migrant teenager he was told not to repeat in a documentary that he intentionally screened at the rally, Tommy was guaranteeing that there would be a way that he could come out the other side looking like a victim, which guarantees that the donations will keep coming.
And the shitheads on the streets will continue terrorizing migrants.
Also, according to The Independent, nine people were arrested at the rally and there were a bunch of fights.
Two people were arrested, quote, on suspicion of grievous bodily harm, which was two Tommy fans assaulting a counter-protester.
Another person was arrested for assaulting a trans pride activist.
Someone was arrested for snapping someone's Palestinian flag and making racially abusive remarks.
Someone was arrested for assaulting an emergency worker.
And then later, four people were arrested for assaulting emergency workers outside of...
The monopoly and the power that they had to deceive the public about us has gone.
Okay?
It's gone.
Partly, thanks to Elon Musk.
Elon Musk has opened us back up.
Give a voice for reality, a voice for the truth.
Give us back a platform where people can share the outrageous decisions the police are making, share the horrific, terrible stories of what's happening in towns and cities across the country.
And in the last few months, I'd say you've seen the brewing of a mini-revolution in Great Britain.
Since Saturday, there's now been protests, unfortunately, not led by us.
They're like rudderless ships.
And there's been violence in many cities across the country.
Well, that's because there's been so many racially targeted attacks on white people, and the Prime Minister calls Brits protesting murder of three young girls by an illegal alien man a promise to keep the Muslim community safe.
Maybe we need to go back to when everybody was watching four channels, Carson was ruling the earth, and we're all just high all the time on TV that shuts off.
Yeah, it should probably be more remarked upon that whenever the alt-right or the less conservative people are expressing wistfulness, it is towards Nazis being able to call themselves Nazis in public.
It is kind of strange how wistful they are towards that ability.
Tommy made a documentary about how he was right and how everyone's wrong, and then aired that, and then got in trouble when he tried to flee the country because he breached the terms of the lawsuit.
But Alex wants to relitigate everything and be like, hey, you know, you were maybe actually right about stuff.
So at the demonstration three years ago, Alex, you remember, three, four years ago, I made a documentary and the judge prevented the public seeing the documentary.
So I wasn't allowed to play the film or I'd face two years in prison.
Yeah, in this city, this is the city where the grooming gangs went on, but the documentary was more about the media's manipulation and lies and how they covered up a story and then changed the narrative for the public.
I like it whenever they have a sort of misplaced pride in what they do, where it's like, hey, listen, I'm not just going to let you slander what I did.
You've got to come back for like two hours if you can soon.
I love you, brother.
One of my bucket lists is to meet you in person.
You're such a hero.
But you'll say you're not a hero.
You're driven.
I get it.
I'm the same way.
But explain to me.
How big this rally is and what they're going to do now because for people to think, oh, they just put labor around, that's because they voted out the conservatives because they were fake.
Everywhere people are voting folks out, the numbers show people are awake.
So Tommy immediately began running defense for the attackers, claiming that Hijazi was, quote, not innocent, and he violently attacks young English girls in his school.
So Tommy had this instinctual reaction, and in response, Hijazi and his family were threatened and harassed to the point where they needed to move out of town for their safety.
Ajazi sued Tommy for this and many other defamatory claims that were made, and a judge ruled that Tommy failed to prove any of his claims and that, quote, the defendant's contribution to this media frenzy was a deliberate effort to portray the claimant as being far from an innocent victim, but in fact a violent aggressor.
Tommy was ordered to pay £100,000 and to cease from making these claims in the future.
Right now, there's an anti-immigrant fervor that's rising up, and Tommy knows damn well that he needs to strike when the iron's hot.
This game is really profitable for him, and his racist fans will keep supporting him as long as he continues to pretend to be a victim for them.
So here he is, intentionally doing something that will cause a legal response in order to profit from pretending it's all persecution against him because he's white.
Repeat what you were saying during the break to me about the awakening that's happening, and let's start talking about your film and the clips we're going to play next segment.
They're ready from one end of Britain to the other.
I know right now, as we're talking, Alex, riots are kicking off in Sunderland.
There's 20 cities that demonstrations are coming out.
I know it's not.
I try and say to people, the anger from the British public is 100% justified.
The men in these hotels have raped, committed murder, jihad across the country.
The government are placing undocumented migrants they know nothing about into towns and cities.
Parents feel they've got no safety for their kids anymore.
It's gone.
We feel lost as a nation.
So what we managed to do in two successful events with a lot of hard work was control and harness that anger.
What you're seeing now over the last three days and what you're going to see in the coming weeks is unharnessed, raw emotion and anger, frustration, resentment, all of it.
I mean, yeah, it is like, hey, listen, I know I'm not from there, so I can't run for office or whatever it is, but I can be appointed to a lot of shit.
I think that Tommy Robinson is somebody whose act is very thin, very see-through, very obvious, to the extent that if you're somebody who is a part of the right-wing ecosystem and the media sphere, You should know better than to have him on.
I think that you know that what you're doing is helping him throw fuel onto the fire.
I think that there was a point, and maybe that was 2016, I don't know, there was a point when you could accept the idea, oh, maybe he's gonna go on Dave Rubin's show.
