#1075: September 3, 2025 dissects Alex Jones’ selective outrage—dismissing ICE’s Israeli spyware use while mocking Jasmine Crockett—and his defense of Trump’s Venezuela tariffs as economic genius, despite court rulings exposing $750B–$1T in potential consumer costs. Jones’ hollow apology for past behavior clashes with his melodramatic framing of RFK Jr.’s Florida vaccine shift as a "Team Humanity" victory, ignoring its limited scope. His toxic leadership, like tolerating Owen Schroyer’s manipulation for years, reveals a pattern of prioritizing loyalty over accountability, undermining credibility in both politics and conspiracy claims. Ultimately, the episode exposes Jones’ contradictions: performative victimhood, blind Trump allegiance, and financial gimmicks like "War Bonds" amid self-sabotaging drama.

Everything we Mr. Magooed our way through everything where it just seemed like as long as we just move forward and don't bother anybody, everything will go smooth.
So first, welcome to the family, Te Pache, and good luck for this winter season on the slopes of Niseiko.
You're a wonderful little rabbit deer monster, and you'll help Tom in Tokyo karate chop Alex right in the neck if he ever dares show his face out here.
So, from that clip, I really feel like Alex knows what rare earth minerals are.
He definitely doesn't sound like someone who's decided to condescendingly explain something and then immediately realized he doesn't know what he's talking about.
Rare earth minerals are a group of 17 metallic elements that are generally used in technological applications.
Their name is kind of misleading because they all aren't super rare.
Some of them are, but they're not all crazy rare.
Sure.
They're all just structurally similar to an element called lathanium or lathanum.
Scientists were working on a newly discovered ore and trying to isolate cerium.
And in the process, they discovered lanthanum.
So it got its name from the Greek verb that means to lie hidden.
That's what lanthanum comes from.
Gotcha.
The elements that have similar properties to lanthanum are likewise seen as sneaky.
Like they're hiding behind other elements and compounds, which is where the name rare earth elements comes from.
Gotcha.
Rare, like hidden as opposed to rare as yes.
Some of them are super common, like cerium, but they're difficult to extract and refine into usable forms.
China has absolutely cornered this market, partially through some pretty exploitative deals with foreign countries, but also through a lack of robust competition.
The only example Alex gave in his clip there was silver, which isn't a rare earth mineral.
It was announced recently that China's exports of rare earths dropped 3.4% in August 2025, which may be what Alex is basing these numbers on.
But that's not taking into account that prior to that dip, China's rare earth exports hit record highs in July, going up 14.5% year over year from 2024.
In effect, their rare earth exports have increased since Trump took office, and Alex is reporting the opposite because he's a liar.
Right.
So, I mean, it's a complicated issue.
It's not like it's not something that a lot of things that Alex talks about are like, well, you don't even need to ever think about this.
Yeah.
But the way that the Chinese companies and the government's influence through those companies has a pretty solid lock on a lot of these minerals.
No, it's, it's, I mean, I, I thought it's probably never going to be relevant to me on account of my inability to understand most of it.
But I find it very interesting.
I find it interesting nonetheless because it is one of those like, how about that kind of stories of there are there's just a way things work, and then this unfolds, and now here we are, and we're like, ah, I wish it had gone differently.
It's not a world-ending crisis, and it's not like, oh my God, China owns all the water.
Like, we will have no water if they decide to not let us have some.
Yeah.
But it is, you know, at least in terms of markets and production, it is kind of like a somewhat, maybe we should, you know, diversify that market a little bit.
Now, Xi Ji Ping got caught in a hot mic, making a very vampiric statement to Vladimir Putin talking about We have the video with subtitles about how we're going to live forever, immortality through organ harvesting.
Alex got distracted while telling this story because he was talking about this hot mic moment where Xi said that he was going to become immortal through organ transplanting.
And in fact, that's one of the main headlines of the episode that Alex is doing.
So from Reuters, quote, as Putin and Xi walked toward the Tiananmen Rostrum where they viewed the parade with Kim, Putin's translator could be heard saying in Chinese, quote, biotechnology is continuously developing.
The translator added after an inaudible passage, quote, human organs can be continuously transplanted.
The longer you live, the younger you become, and you can even achieve immortality.
Putin's translator was saying that in Chinese because they were translating what Putin said to Xi.
The only way that Alex could report that Xi was saying this is if he's too lazy to look into any details about the story, or he's so ideologically bent on supporting Putin that he can't tell the truth about how this conversation happened.
Maybe there's something about being a translator that I don't understand that has a sort of like hardlined ridge of where and when and what to do.
But if I'm a translator and anybody I'm translating, specifically one who might have the ability to do something like this is like, you could always transplant organs and maybe live forever.
I think that when it comes to harvesting organs to make yourself eternally young, let's let the language gap make it harder for these two to work together on that.
And then I go to one of the top orthopedic surgeons, and he's just honest.
He's like, yeah, I got to deal with China.
I ship it all in.
And where do you think it's coming from, boys and girls?
These folks are getting prepped and ready with hoods over their head to be taken to the medical center.
This came out, what, four years ago.
So this is the real dilemma that we all face.
I'm seriously concerned.
We're at whatever point, just cutting my right leg off as a symbol of commitment.
I'm serious, and I'll just put a peg leg on it.
In fact, I'm probably going to go with amputation.
That's probably the best policy.
In fact, I'll have him film it.
I'll put it on TV because everybody needs to understand the commitment to this.
Because I already killed a bunch of my kids back when I was rationalizing it when I was a young man and believed the lie that it wasn't a human or it was a blob of tissue.
And of course, now I know that's not true.
And I repented 30-plus years ago.
But I'm just always committed that I'll never kill another one of my children.
And that's a pretty simple thing to say you're going to do, right?
Well, then would you kill somebody for their organ?
And the kind of content that you get on Alex's show about it is him ranting about how his integrity won't let him fix his leg with possibly stolen tendons.
So he's going to give himself a peg leg as a political statement.
In the process, he also made clear that his doctor is involved in an illegal organ smuggling operation.
He isn't too concerned about blowing the whistle on that.
It's almost like he doesn't think about calling the police about this doctor because he's making up the whole organ smuggling part of this story.
In grandstanding about how he's going to cut his leg off, he's going to do shit.
It's so fetishized in the West because we know our establishment, we know our elite.
They're completely out of control and evil to just bash our politicians and leaders who need to be kept on a short leash and sent to prison for what they've done and things like that.
But the world's a very small place, so we don't really talk about China.
All these other tyrannical systems that are affecting us because I notice whenever I talk about it, I see comments on InfoWars, comments on X, you name it.
It's not a lot of people, but it's still a sizable minority.
Why aren't you talking about the Jews?
I mean, I could talk about weather weapons and banning geoengineering and Bill Gates' plan.
And literally, there'll be a third of the comments sometimes.
Alex is feeling a little attacked about this at the moment because Owen Schroyer just quit, and a lot of the response that he's undoubtedly seen on social media is people saying that Owen was too critical of Israel, so Alex fired him.
You know, Trump blew up this vessel that they tracked and knew who it was and were surveilling on the ground when it left, and they knew that it was the government-backed TDA marco terrorist designation.
They've killed millions of Americans, and so Trump killed them because they were trying to come into our waters.
And I think it's 100% in his power.
I mean, that is a weapon system.
They tracked it.
They knew they were loading it.
They knew it was the gang.
They know what they bring in on the boats, the fentanyl.
Bringing in enough fentanyl to kill millions of people.
It's pretty wild that Alex is just fine with this, if only for how much of the high ground he's giving up by signing off on it.
Even if you support the idea of killing alleged drug traffickers, this is a pretty simple, this level of power could get out of hand thing.
I mean, I feel like if it's just like, oh, the president said they were Trende Aragua gang members and he's designated them as terrorists, then like, I don't know, why were you ever mad about Guantanamo?
I mean, I'm surprised that we are all like, okay, it's already gotten too far because we're at the level of being like, you know what?
I think we need to explain that the president having the ability to just disappear people with a point of a button and then post a video about it on social media is good or bad.
Posting a video, even if for whatever reason, maybe I'm an idiot and you can explain it away in like a moral or ethical or legal or defensive reason or any number of those things.
In no world do you convince me that it's totally okay for you to post the video on social media after posting a video and being like, ha ha, look at this boat I blew up.
So a number of survivors and their lawyers did a press conference along with like Marjorie Taylor Green and like Rokana.
So he was like a bipartisan representation of people in Congress.
Sure.
And they were talking about how Representative Massey had put forth a petition, a discharge petition to get all the information about Epstein released.
That said, the White House came out and said that Republicans that sign on to this massey legislation to release it, that they are attacking the Trump administration.
So that is a big deal right there.
White House just slammed the Massey Epstein discharge petition as a very hostile act to the administration.
Let's go ahead and play that clip first with some foreshadowing.
I'm going to tell you what's going on here.
We know Bill Gates went to the island a bunch, but it's going to implicate Bill Gates and a bunch of other people, the head of Harvard.
Trump's had the CIA with the Mossad beg him to not do this.
He's made deals off this leverage.
And there are some people close to Trump in his history, not family.
I've had this from sources, but don't give me the specifics, that are on the list.
So Trump thinks it's going to be a horrible distraction to bring down the U.S. economy, really discredit the U.S. And so he's made that decision.
So in a situation like this, it's really important to think about how much tone changes the point you're making.
All Alex is doing is describing the reality in front of everyone's faces that Trump is doing some kind of cover-up as it relates to Epstein.
In the past, it would have been an accusation that a politician were hiding the truth about something because it would be too embarrassing for it all to come out.
But in this case, it's an excuse.
If we just accept Alex's premise that Trump made a deal with all these deep state folks to cover up the Epstein stuff because it would be too embarrassing and destabilizing for all of it to come out, then what are we supposed to do?
What cover-up couldn't be justified by people in power saying that it would be too embarrassing for all the details to come out?
Alex isn't saying Trump is covering this up because he thinks it's too embarrassing.
And fuck that.
We need to demand the truth anyway.
He's covering Trump's position as if it's a good position, effectively arguing that sometimes cover-ups are for your own good.
Like, Alex's whole mission and like the intro music of his show, the bumpers are like, he gets behind the truth of government corruption and cover-ups.
Because the moment you do something like that, you and this is what people like this do when they're in the wrong space, right?
He was like, well, you know, yes, I know what I've been saying, but it looks like maybe there are people who are not Trump, but people close to Trump, not his family either, but people close to Trump.
Yeah, and when Alex says in that clip, like, I've followed this story, and you hear that tone where he's like, to the point where I started to hate it.
And there's just literally dozens of other huge stories.
Elon Omar's financial disclosure shows that in one year she had a 3,500% increase in net worth from $6 million to $30 million.
And of course, she started out in Congress with a couple hundred thousand dollars in the bank.
You mean the daughter from a famous pirate family, pirate royalty in Somalia, where human slavery and robbery and murder is the country's business, and they are the commanders of it?
Elon Omar's net worth increased dramatically between her 2019 disclosure and the most recent one, largely because she got married in 2020 and her husband runs a winery and venture capital firm.
I'm not thrilled about the idea of a politician's spouse being in the money management field because it's always going to look a little bit suspicious, but that suspicious vibe isn't enough to prove that there's actual corruption there.
Alex is adding nothing to this story that you wouldn't get just from seeing the same tweet that he saw, other than the racist bullshit about Omar being pirate royalty.
Yeah.
But like, yeah, this is easily explained by she got married.
This disinformation is cherry-picking things out short clips so that people don't know what's happening.
And they went, well, that congresswoman or that congressman, why are they saying, okay, we're not going to release it all right now, but we'll release it quickly.
They just cut there because the victims have asked us to.
But I go then, find the full clip and sit there and watch it and I have it for you.
The problem is if I show you CNN lying and MSNBC lying and then I show you the actual raw clip, it'll take hours.
And I got to limit the problem.
They've cut us down to nothing but the cruise grave.
That's something we ought to do.
It's just there's so much of it.
It takes hours just to watch it.
But you all saw it.
You see it everywhere.
Oh, look, they don't want to release it now.
Oh, look, cover up.
I mean, I've got the headlines here.
But when you actually go watch the press conference, the women said, hold off, we want time to go over this.
And then they said, we will release the list.
So they're trying to kind of take control of it.
Well, how do we know these people haven't been infiltrated?
How do we know?
You know, a lot of the stuff we call them victims.
So what he's doing now is trying to protect some of the GOP folks in Congress that he feels close to, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, and the off chance that this attempt at disclosure isn't going to work.
Right.
And, you know, there's a likelihood that some of them will kowtow to Trump saying, stop it.
So before this episode, a bunch of Epstein survivors had held a press conference along with some members of Congress like Green and Rokana pushing for the passage of Massey's petition to release all the government's files about Epstein.
It was unambiguous that the goal was releasing everything, and it felt a bit like they were personally offended by the Department of Justice buddying up with Ghelain Maxwell.
Right.
And Alex saying that they're like, the press conference was about like, hey, hold up.
He's purporting to have uncovered a media disinformation campaign where they're showing incomplete statements by some GOP congress members in order to make it look like they're trying to cover up the Epstein stuff.
But in the full context, they're just honoring the victim's wishes.
He has the edited clips and the full clips, but it would take too long to play them.
So instead, he's not doing that.
And if he did, he would clearly demonstrate the point that he's making in an indisputable fashion.
All he's doing, like if you listen to that clip and you listen to the tone, all he's doing is trying to create preemptive justification to attack these women.
We're in a true crime documentary that has gotten past the point of stupidity.
Like there are so many true crime documentaries where you're like, oh, could it be this?
Could it be that?
Could it be this?
And then there's maybe an ambiguous ending or maybe there's like, we're clearly pointing towards one ending or we're clearly, we have our point of view on this.
Eventually, if you're in a true crime documentary and you're like, that guy did it, that's the end of the document.
Which suggests they think they can talk you down, which suggests you are talk-downable, which means that what you have to say isn't really that important.
News just broke out of Florida that is spectacularly positive for Team Humanity and Maha and Stopping Big Pharma.
And it dovetails with the historically amazing and positive and valiant activities of RFK Jr. and the huge successes dismantling Bill Gates' control of our medical system in just the last few months that's been crescendoing last week and this week.
And that is not getting a lot of attention.
You just hear, oh, controversy, fights, wars, people walking out.
Kennedy's going to kill everybody.
Kennedy's weaponized medicine.
No, he's stopping the weaponization of it.
It's just fabulously good news.
Well, something just happened in Florida that is a game changer.
So the Surgeon General of Florida, Joseph Ladapo, made a big announcement that Florida was going to be the first state to make vaccines entirely voluntary.
Vaccines are already basically voluntary.
So like what he was saying was the state wasn't going to allow institutions like schools to require vaccination for people to attend.
Children are going to be severely hurt by this, and public health in general will erode, possibly undoing miracles that we've been able to achieve with vaccine science.
And on top of that, these people are ultimately no closer to this fantasy goal they have of health freedom.
It's just that I've bit my tongue about Owen Schroyer the last two plus years and put up with a lot of arrogance and a lot of rudeness and not even the crew says hi to him, won't even say hi to him almost every day.
And I try to talk to him.
He just looked me up and down like I'm a pile of crap.
And that's only about 90% of the time now.
Sometimes he's old Owen for a minute and funny and says a joke.
But you feel like it's all just a manipulation.
So I told Crew, you know, I told Dew and others in the last couple of years, I said, he wants me to fire him because he wants that Streisand effect.
So I'm not sure if Alex realizes it, but this makes him sound a lot worse.
What he's describing is a situation where he knew that Owen was a liar, an anti-social prick, and a manipulator who was trying to get fired so he could use that victimhood against Alex.
It's one thing to discover this side of a person after the fact, but Alex is saying that he's been biting his tongue about Owen for two years.
And that's some childish shit.
Alex was the boss.
And if he's biting his tongue and passive-aggressively refusing to fire someone, then he's running a horrible workplace.
Alex is supposed to have been biting his tongue to not say bad things about Owen, but at the same time, he was giving him raises, and Owen was hosting Alex's show a bunch.
Owen was the second in command at Infowars, and he had the coveted post-Alex time slot.
If Alex had these negative feelings about Owen, particularly that he was a liar and a manipulator, then he should not have been comfortable allowing him to continue being on air.
It seems like it's irresponsible to the audience who are supposed to be helping you fight the literal devil to expose them to him.
Now that things have gone the way they have, Alex is trying to save face.
And the best way he can think to do that is to paint Owen as a bad guy.
That's fine.
And I'm sure Owen sucks.
But Alex doesn't realize that any attack he tries to throw at Owen reflects poorly on him.
You can't say someone should have fired him long ago when you're the only person who didn't fire him.
It's narcissistic psychopaths sometimes reveal by virtue of like, here's how I'm going to manipulate you into thinking that I'm a good guy, that they don't understand what makes a good guy.
You know, like, oh, see, I'm the good guy.
I'm the guy who's giving this guy a job.
I'm the hero.
I'm forcing this guy to work for me for two years, even though he wants to quit and I know it.
I've not created some weird psychodrama that makes every single day miserable.
The mission is so singularly to create an explanation where you come out looking good that you don't realize that the side implications of whatever excuse you're going to come up with make you look terrible.
He quit whenever Bloomberg said The Onion had bought us and just didn't just said, I'm done.
And then as soon as we didn't get shut down, he was right back.
We never even really talked about it.
He was just here.
And it seemed to only piss him off even more.
And then the crew pointed this out that on his ex-account and places like that, he would mail promote his show a little bit, but never anything else we did.
He was ashamed of InfoWars.
He didn't like it.
And then the more negative he got, listeners and viewers noticed it.
And the darker he got, we got constant, you know, complaints like, hey, Owen's not the same Owen.
Is he okay?
What's going on?
I just ignored it because I planned with the new owners that are coming in, regardless what happens.
The second thing that is happening here in this clip is that listeners were bombarding Infowars with messages of concern about Owen getting really dark and how they were worried about him.
And Alex's instinct was to ignore it because he was going to need Owen to fill more time once the new backers start giving him more money.
Alex isn't responding to this criticism and feedback as a competent manager, where he would see this as an indication that Owen's dissatisfaction with his job was becoming very obvious to the audience.
And maybe this job wasn't a good fit for him.
Instead, Alex heard this feedback as the listeners, like, they were asking him to censor Owen, and he made a courageous choice by not doing that.
And instead, what he's doing is just emotionally checking out of any responsibility to be a leader.
One of the things that I think is really interesting about the whole Owen saga is the insights that it's provided into how Alex thinks workplaces should run.
Like what he appears to be presiding over is like a madhouse with an idiot in charge that no one could possibly respect as like, yeah, he has outbursts and like you're probably scared of him.
But like you're not scared of him in the way that you fear a respectable boss.
That's probably, yeah, no, more likely you are afraid in the generalized sense of like, this is somebody who I'm always flinching around, as opposed to like, oh, if I don't get this clip right, then I'm going to be in trouble or my job is on the line or something is important.
You're like, oh, I'll get yelled at, which is like, eh, not my, not my first yell.
What does that even mean from a like managering strategy standpoint of like, okay, so if somebody wants something, I'm going to torture them for two years by not speaking about how I know they want it and how they know that they want it, but I'm not giving it to them somehow, even though it's all within their hands.
It is a little bit like, like, you know how what they're doing now, one of the only useful things they're doing with AI is like imagine things from a point of view that just only a machine could imagine in terms of like no preconceptions.
Like, what if you built a car out of, you know, all that stuff?
And it would find mathematical solutions that you would never consider yourself.
Right.
It is like InfoWars is imagine the least capable, but still functional machine that you possibly can.
Right.
And it's just a bunch of garbage, just like a caterpillar squirrel, just moving along.
And I'm like, he knows that's all going to be taking a censorship.
But then he can deny it.
And then every hour after he'd said he was being censored and all this stuff, he would then say, oh, no, I wasn't censored.
But he knows how the internet works.
And they're going to pick that up and say that because if you want to attack somebody with total integrity like I have, that's the holy grail to finally catch Alex Jones and censoring, to finally catch Alex Jones and working for Israel, to finally catch Alex Jones, covering up for Trump.
So this was something that particularly pissed Alex off because if you accept that Owen was willing to insinuate some horrible things about Alex, but he's crafty enough to make sure that he's always doing it in ways that he can deny later if he gets in trouble, it might make you start to ask where he learned those kinds of skills.
You start thinking about that too much, and you might start to realize that that's how InfoWars does the news.
I'm not sure what was in Owen's mind, and I'm willing to believe that he thought he was being more generous and gracious than he actually was.
But Alex is totally right descriptively about what Owen was doing.
He was saying the literal words, Alex didn't censor me, and then describing situations that clearly indicate censorship, which looks like someone making an accusation and then trying to cover their ass.
The problem for Alex is that that is a hard strategy to counter.
If you totally blow up on him, it looks like an overreaction.
If you don't do anything, it could feel like you're taking these insinuations lying down and that you're weak.
There's no easy solution, but Alex's choice of path is a bad one.
It makes it look like he knowingly employed a manipulative sociopath for years at his media company as the host of his own show because he didn't want to give him what he wanted by firing him.
But also you have to ask yourself the question of you're saying that you are not firing him, but allowing him to do whatever he wants because that's what he doesn't want you to do.
Yeah, you just came and attacked the leader of it who's under total attack with Bloomberg and the Democrats trying to shut us down and this crew that works here that stuck through all this when you cut and run in November and then came slinking back.
I knew you couldn't even emotionally have a conversation about it.
I don't think that Alex realizes how much this makes him sound really bad.
If Owen was a piece of shit who wasn't in the info war for the past year or more, then Alex and everyone at the company has been lying to the audience.
For me, it's just so funny because it's like, I can't even imagine, I can't imagine working there and being somebody who watches them come in and not being like, you quit, you lunatic.
It is impossible for all of these things to make sense if this employee is communicating with other people who are your customers or whatever you like.
Your listeners, your watchers, right?
For him to be doing this to them reveals any of this stuff that you think makes you a good boss to be actively harmful to the audience.
So by virtue of you saying, like, see, I'm a good guy, you're also admitting, look at how I allowed this guy to abuse you for two years, the same way I allowed him to abuse me.
Yeah, my negligence allowed somebody who was full of shit and probably a manipulator to host a show that I promoted heavily on my network for two years.
And I presented as the vanguard of the fight against the devil.
I allowed that person to, you know, make a connection with you.
And when I think about media critics who see through the bullshit, you know, people who aren't going to buy the spin, they're going to tell, they're going to heat.
I would expect someone of Salty Cracker's level of talent to see that Owen video and be able to, you know, like cut through the fog.
So then I talked to the crew yesterday, and they just said, no, Owen used to be a funny ice card.
It's about three years ago, so we're getting mad and now cynical, hateful, won't talk to us, looks us up and down for piles of crap.
Exactly what you've seen.
So see, to Owen, all these people that literally backed him and worked so hard for him and committed to him and loved him, they aren't even people to him.
Rob Aguero, Scott, all of them.
They're not even people to him.
And that's why I got mad.
And I felt like I have to warn people that in my view, this is a bad person.
A selfish person.
They're like, you don't know how OCD he is?
You don't know.
He has to have everything exact.
And his whole life is scripted.
Every minute, where he goes, what he does is all booked out.
I was like, well, God, how'd he ever work here?
So then I think, oh, maybe it's that, like some type of spectrum.
I'm not diagnosing.
I'm just saying, maybe he is just autistic.
I don't know.
But I know this, buddy.
I'm a real person.
And they're real people.
And you don't get to treat us like that.
So you had your little scripted, schemed up thing.
Again, Alex is revealing his incompetence as a manager here.
If we believe the things Alex is saying, then we have to accept that he was so out of touch with his staff that Owen's been being a dick to them for three years and he never noticed.
Yep.
There was a complete breakdown of workplace harmony and it didn't come up as a problem that could be addressed.
This would lead you to suspect that no one feels safe coming to Alex and bringing up workplace complaints, or they just know that he's not going to do anything.
It's all shitty leadership.
These are indications of no one being in charge.
Further, Alex is revealing how little he ever cared about Owen.
I'm going to ignore the labels that Alex is throwing around, but if Owen was a rigid planner and followed a tight schedule, that's something you'd expect Alex to notice in the 10 years that they knew each other.
Clearly, this is something that the crew picked up on, so it seems strange that Alex, who's repeatedly said that he and Owen were good friends, would be this oblivious.
Beyond that, this is a classic abuser tactic where you're trying to weaponize other people against your target.
Alex would feel too vulnerable making his feelings just about how hurt he is, so he needs to pretend to be hurt on someone else's behalf and use that against him.
If, I mean, funnily enough, as Alex has pointed out about the globalists many a time, is that if you're both complicit in something, oftentimes that means it's off the table should you argue about things later.
You know, so I feel like maybe we might be in this kind of situation here.
I think that, you know, what I said on the last episode about Alex seeming to believe that Owen doesn't have any concrete proof of anything, I think that might be true.
But it makes me think that he's had private conversations with him about all how this is all bullshit or something like that.
And this is with the stupid, stupid court system and judicial activism.
So Trump's reciprocal tariffs, you know, not the sectional tariffs that he put on copper and aluminum and things like that.
We're talking about the across-the-board reciprocal tariffs where Trump said, hey, other countries around the world, if you've got tariffs on us, we're going to give you a tariff back.
Right?
He's within his authority and power to do so.
But the federal courts on Friday struck that down as being illegal.
And it's like, how could it be illegal?
The president can slap a tariff on anybody if he wants to, and especially countries that have a tariff on us.
So the courts ruled that Trump's actions in terms of placing huge tariffs on trading partners was outside of his power and that the tariffs were illegal.
Because of these rulings, Trump's Treasury Secretary, Scott Basset, estimated that refunds the government would need to give importers could be between $750 billion to $1 trillion.
That's money that would be being paid back to companies, not consumers, who ended up carrying a lot of the burden of many of these tariffs as companies just passed on the prices down to customers.
Yeah.
The courts rejected Trump's argument that he had authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to justify his tariffs on anybody he wants whenever he wants.
They said that the law required that there be, quote, unusual or extraordinary threats and that this standard was not met.
If Trump has to pay back a trillion dollars, then the whole declaring the launch of the tariffs Liberation Day could end up becoming his version of Bush's mission accomplished.
Now, I'm not saying that they're going to say that they're going to be illegal.
I'm just saying there's a chance because the Supreme Court's been squirrely lately, right?
So if they say it's illegal, this is the main mechanism for Trump to make America great again, to have other countries pay our taxes.
So he can actually have policies that say, if you make under $200,000 a year, we want to eliminate your taxes to actually reduce our tax rates to be able to hopefully reduce the amount of printing because other countries are footing the bill.
These dipshits really need to stop pretending that they don't understand basic aspects of the stories they're covering because this looks embarrassing.
But that's only because it is in every possible sense embarrassing to have to pretend like this embarrassing monster that you've created isn't an embarrassing monster.
But what if Trump, like what he did was illegal and outside his power?
This is the ultimate question for the InfoWars character.
If what Trump did was illegal, would you rather the Supreme Court sign off on his crime or stand up for the law despite the consequences that may come?
I mean, I don't know how you couldn't recognize that even saying a sentence like that means that the person shouldn't be in power.
By virtue of being in this situation where you are saying, if what this person did is illegal, if what this person did is illegal, then it will cost us $1 trillion.
I read an article about this, and they talked to a guy who runs an importing company.
And he's like, man, if the Supreme Court upholds this, we are going to double our claims department because we are going to be getting so much of that back.
Anyway, there's some good news that we can end this episode on.
All right.
And that is, Alex has been talking about how the globalists are trying to kill his dad by suing them.
Yeah.
And it's, you know, because we've brought this up, I feel like it's my responsibility to also play this clip of Alex discussing how his dad is doing better.
I mean, I haven't talked to him about this because it makes me cry.
My dad had Hap's brainstem blocked, and they said he had his aorta about to blow massive ballooning.
And they said, look, you have to have this surgery, but it could also block the other part of your brain when your blood slows down during this four-hour surgery.
You've got to sign waivers to do this.
They said, this is elective, even though it would normally be absolutely critical.
So when he had the car wreck and they scanned him and they saw this five months ago, they said, oh my God, you got to surgery right now.
But then they found the brainstem block where they did all the dye tests and things and CAT scans.
And the doctor, top cardiologist, said, but there's a good chance once the aorta is fixed, it's going to build pressure back at the brain.
And they're doing the scans and stuff tomorrow.
He's now in a rehab.
I thought he'd be in the hospital a month because he was in such bad shape and barely walk.
His color all came back.
He's already out of the hospital.
And it's like my old dad the genius.
Thank you for the prayers for my father.
And this is just incredible.
They were surprised he could even walk with Hapis brainstem blocked on the side that does motor controls.
Because they did a bunch of scans, a bunch of tests, a bunch of neurologists.
So there's that.
But I've been so focused on all this, I haven't plugged.
I think that the war bonds aspect of this, it's tough to sell.
And I think part of the reason for that is because you are currently embroiled in an argument about how you passive aggressively didn't fire your employee for two years.
So how much of that salary, like if you bought a war bond, how much of that war bond is going towards possibly the salary of someone who six months from now you'll remember sucked for the last two years?
This is what I'm saying about the, like, this ship is sinking, and yet somehow this pile of trash is orchestrated in such a way that it can just caterpillar its ass across the top of a maelstrom.
And that is that, like, you know, when Alex does these really disappointing, horrible things that are like invalidating of all of the principles he's pretended to have for years, it's kind of like, oh, yeah, that's what you expect.
And then when there's a little slap fight, I got really excited.
