The silent majority is no longer silent.
This is The War Room with Owen Schroyer.
Please stand by for further details.
We return you now to your regularly scheduled program.

A viral video making the rounds has utilized Google Earth's history tool to show what appears
to be mass graves on Epstein's island that were dug shortly after his arrest in 2006.
In September of 2002, in the center of the island, Google Earth shows that there was nothing but a bare mound of Earth.
In March of 2005, the Palm Beach, Florida police began investigating Epstein after a mother reported that he sexually abused her 14-year-old daughter.
In July of 2006, Epstein was arrested by the Palm Beach Police Department on state felony charges of procuring a minor for prostitution.
Hours later, he was released on a $3,000 bond.
A few months later, in November of 2006, Google Earth shows that the previously bare mound has what appears to be mass graves freshly buried on top of it.
During this time, Palm Beach County State Attorney Barry Christcher is accused of giving Epstein special treatment, and the FBI begin an investigation.
In 2007, federal prosecutors prepare an indictment against Epstein, which is held up in the courts for a year.
In June of 2008, Epstein pleads guilty to one count of soliciting prostitution and one count of soliciting prostitution from a minor.
He is sentenced to 18 months in jail with a secret arrangement with the U.S. Attorney's Office to not be prosecuted for federal crimes.
Epstein serves most of his sentence in a work release program that allows him to leave jail during the day.
In July of 2009, Epstein is released from jail.
One month later in August, Google Earth shows that what appeared to be mass graves on the mound have been covered over.
In 2013, construction begins on the mound grave site.
By 2017, construction of what appears to be a tennis court is completed.
Drone footage shows that the elevation in Google Earth is off.
The newly built tennis court is on a flat plain surrounded by a dirt berm.
By January of 2018, Google Earth shows that the tennis court has been raised and the earth beneath appears to have been excavated.
In November of 2018, the Miami Herald begins publishing a series of articles about the Epstein case, which inspires public interest.
In July of 2019, Epstein is charged on federal sex trafficking charges.
One month later, the FBI raid the island.
During this time, Google Earth shows cloud cover obscuring the view of the mound.
On August 10th of 2019, Epstein is reported to have committed suicide in his New York City federal jail cell.
The next available image is a month later, in September of 2019, and shows that the area on the mound is being used as a parking lot for commercial vehicles.
The area is cleared by 2020 and has remained so until today.
In a recent video, corporate media propagandist Megyn Kelly claims that we may be hearing from Jeffrey Epstein himself this year.
megyn kelly
We're not done with Jeffrey Epstein.
I can tell you that for a fact.
I can't tell you how I know, but I can tell you for a fact we're going to hear a lot more about Jeffrey Epstein in the coming year.
And you may be even hearing from him directly.
More on that as I'm allowed to tell you.
greg reese
While most believe that Epstein was murdered, many believe that he is still alive, claiming that images of his alleged corpse appear to be a different person, that the shape of his nose and ears were different.
Reporting for Infowars, this is Greg Reese.
harrison smith
All right, folks, that is the latest Reese Report you can find and share at band.video on Infowars.com.
I'm Harrison Smith, sitting in for Owen Troyer today on The War Room with a very big show.
Epstein will be the main topic of discussion.
We'll have Alex Jones in studio, Jason Bermas joining us via Skype.
We have a special message from Owen Troyer later in the show, but we are going to start off The top of this hour with Alex Jones in studio with Jason Bermas Skyping in as we go through the newest revelations of the Jeffrey Epstein saga.
The newest revelations do seem to implicate in some way Donald Trump as well as Clinton and a lot of other people, new photos from it.
So the saga continues.
We'll determine exactly what's true, what's not, what's worth paying attention to and what we can...
Disregard as PSYOP false information.
Stay tuned. Alex Jones in studio on The War Room.
unidentified
On the other side, stay with us.
harrison smith
I'm your host, Harrison Smith, sitting in for Owen Schroer today and all this week.
And joining me in studio is, of course, Alex Jones to break down some of the latest of the Jeffrey Epstein saga.
Lots of things have been released.
The latest one seems to implicate, in some way, Donald Trump.
But it's all very confusing.
Things have been said. They've been retracted.
They say there's proof. Then they say there's not.
We'll try to get to the bottom of it.
alex jones
Well, that's why we brought in the real expert, Jason Bermas.
You know, Jason's made films with me on this.
We've been working with Jason about 18, 19 years.
And Jason's really good with his files and keeping it all together.
Because I remember this lady.
I remember seeing it. But this all broke when I was already on air today.
So I'm trying to read the articles. And I said to listeners, I said, I cannot comment on this until I go off air for an hour, call Jason Bermas, reread the history, make sure I'm right.
But I was right from my initial memory.
This came out years ago.
There was some other Jane Doe's that came out, and it was once Trump ran for office and once he won, it was never photos, never proof, never other witnesses.
And my job It's not defending Donald Trump, okay?
And if something ever comes out and there's proof, then that'll be very, very serious.
What we know is we have the flight logs.
He's not on those to the Epstein Island.
He's a couple flies from New York to Palm Beach.
In the other documents, it's women saying, no, I saw him in an event.
He didn't hit on me.
But this particular woman put the reports out and said that she had the footage and the sex tapes of Clintons and others, not of Trump, and then she retracted it.
Okay? And I'm not saying that something didn't happen to her.
I'm not saying she's a liar.
I'm simply saying I've been investigating this Trump thing now for seven-plus years.
And I guess eight years now, and I've not seen evidence of her with him.
But as I said, that's not my job to do this.
I'm not exactly sure what's going on here, but These giant data dumps we were told were going to be the Epstein client list.
And as Jason said before they even came out, he said, I don't think it'll be that.
It's going to be court documents. And now it's like the fifth or sixth.
I can't keep track. Dump of this information.
And, you know, we also saw that particular lady.
I forget her name. Who's the blonde lady that thinks rape's hot?
She called Anderson Cooper? Oh, Carol.
Eugene Carol. Yeah, Eugene Carol.
No witnesses, no nothing.
And it, you know, fits a law and order script or something.
So... I'm very, very suspect of anything thrown at Trump because there's never been any real meat and potatoes.
But at the same time, look at DrudgeReport.com.
Shock claim. Trump's sex at Epstein Mansion.
Many girls warning, grabbing details.
But then the real claims she's making, I'm not saying they're real, the main claim is that Richard Branson prints Andrew Clinton and that reportedly she had the tapes.
Well, I doubt if Epstein, which we know is shooting tapes of this, why would she have that?
Again, so Trump's just a little sliver of this, but she just said she saw him a few times and claimed that he liked some girl and that she'd seen him at Epstein's house in New York, a compound in New York.
So again, if there are tapes, let's see them.
Well, we know who has the tapes.
The FBI. And we know they did get the tapes.
So, let me bring in our resident expert, syndicated talk show host, author, researcher, filmmaker, Jason Burmas, who I know has really been keeping his ear to the ground on this.
Right now, for me, I'm speculating, because I just got off air an hour ago, did my best, didn't talk to you before I got you on.
Am I wrong? Does this implicate Trump?
Or is this another red herring to smokescreen all the real stuff we've got?
jason bermas
Yeah, I haven't seen anything new that really implicates Trump at all.
And even with this Sarah Ronson information, I really want to put it into context.
So in December of this year, we already had this right here where we knew that she said that she had watched these tapes with Epstein.
And previously in 2019, Alex, when When this was occurring, these documents were being dumped.
What she was saying was the fact that This stuff was not only out, but that she had tapes.
Now, other people made these claims as well.
They said they went to Russia. They said they were going to release them.
Never happened. I would be extremely suspect of anyone having these tapes.
Later on, she did recant and said that she did it to protect herself and what?
To bring attention to this case.
Now, I'll say this.
When you are being deceptive, you're not doing anybody any favors.
Now, previously, Sarah Ronson was Jane Doe 43.
So a lot of the names that are coming out are those Jane Does that are being revealed.
Now, in this new document dump that I'm seeing in pictures, some of the pictures were previously released,
but I am noticing some new pictures, it appears of the victims,
including Sarah, who is on the island, but of age when she's on the island.
And that's another aspect of this people need to understand.
Yes, obviously there is the pedophilia aspect of this, but there is also the management
and blackmail of individuals using sex operatives that are now of age and have been groomed
from their teenage years.
So for me, I would say that the biggest document that people aren't really paying attention to and going to
that does show some new information is the one on Nadia Marcinkova.
And I've been basically harping on Marcinkova because Marcinko...
alex jones
And that's her. Let's show her. She's the blonde right here.
jason bermas
Put her on screen. Yes, this is her right here, everybody.
It's now Nadia Marcinko.
And Nadia Marcinko, again...
From this document trove that began to come out in 2019 is allegedly the young girl that was purchased from Yugoslavia from her parents at 14 and then groomed into this situation and also a pilot.
So what is the significance of her testimony?
Well, she pleads the 5th 42 times in just a partial deposition.
And now we're finding out the direct questions being asked about sex with Bill Clinton and others.
Now, going back to Sarah Ronson and her claims about Trump.
Again, I am not here to attack any victims, but she certainly has not come into the public arena to make those claims.
Those are printed. And I would also say that it does seem like some of the claims of some of the victims were either purposely false to protect themselves Or purposely false to entice members of the media to cover this story more because we have so many instances when in fact these people were burned.
I know that muddies the situation.
alex jones
Let me expand on that. You've got it all coming out with the prints, all these people confirmed in photos with underage girls and on the island and constantly going on.
Then if you simply, through lawyers or whatever, and I'm not saying she did this, get people to make up stuff, then when it's proven to not be true, it confuses the whole thing and throws the baby out with the bathwater.
I mean, here's one. Epstein victim claimed Trump had sex at pedophile's mansion.
Clinton caught on tape. Then she...
I'm sorry. That discredits her that she's, quote, recanted everything years ago.
And now this breaks again.
It's recycled with no evidence of Trump.
And again, give me some evidence that Trump's done something wrong.
I'll go after him like flies on you know what or like white on rice.
I just you've really been in this in the file.
Now you've had a chance. Pull back here.
Jason, what do you make of what this court's doing?
Because, again, you said this last week, got picked up everywhere, even mainstream media picked up what you started saying, you know, last Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, that, yeah, usually you didn't see the New York Post and everybody's saying...
Yeah, where are all the tapes?
Where are the DVRs?
Where are the hard drives?
Where are the DVDs?
Just room after room of these.
We know the FBI got those.
That's a fact. So to me, lists and what people claim in lawsuits or recycled stuff, I'm sure some of it may be true.
Maybe all of it's true. But man, if there's nothing on these tapes, why are they hiding them?
jason bermas
To me, the tapes are everything. Well, again, not only are they hiding them, but you look at the binders of the information that is being kept on the burned disks, and they're not even letting you know what the binder says on the side.
When we look at some of the other burned disks in the drawers, they're saying what?
Photo shoots, AV shoots, with women's names on them.
So, you know, I'm not going to speculate as to what's being done on that, legal or not.
alex jones
It's extremely suspect.
jason bermas
I mean, come on. Exactly.
The public should have access to that.
We have to remember that this is only one of the locations, Alex.
For instance, we got that video, and this was banned on YouTube when I posted it.
But back in the Miami days, when the first case came out, they did an hour-long run-through.
And, you know, that's where it was revealed in the Miami residence.
He had a dental chair.
And I briefly covered this last week.
But, you know... So, you know, You look at all of that.
We got no physical evidence that's been put into play from Miami, and yet we have all of that eyewitness testimony from the girls themselves.
Again, we're talking about Jane Doe 107 or 103, I think, that's holding up that last release of documents that we're probably going to get, but we'll see in the appeals on the 22nd.
We have taped recordings of all these.
That's one case. We go to Zorro Ranch.
We have no idea what they took.
We have drone footage.
When they went to little St.
James Island of the FBI going through everything from the temple to the locations where they had garbage, Alex, a guy named Rusty Shackelford, an ode to the King of the Hill character, Dale Gribble.
It was the one posting that footage and showing again and again.
Authorities were there. Where's the evidence from the island, Alex?
alex jones
Church, let me shift gears into this.
Have you seen the new Gregory's report or the reports where you have this mound that right when Epstein starts getting into trouble with the first arrest that there's all these holes dug and everybody said they look like graves.
Oh, they're burying people.
No. If you start getting in trouble, you dig up the bodies.
And I'm not saying it's a grave, but man, if you guys can roll the B-roll of the Gregory Report, we play at the start of the hour.
I mean, you look at this, this is Google Earth, and all of a sudden, all these holes get dug the month he gets arrested, and then they excavate it, they build like three things on top of it, turn it into a tennis court, then into a place to park cars, and all this weirdness, obsessed... With this one spot on the property, all I'm saying is, I don't think they'd be burying people once he gets in trouble.
I think they'd be digging people up, but I think that's still speculation.
jason bermas
I think it's speculation, but it's rightful speculation, Alex, especially when we've gotten no information on what these raids came up with, and we know that they went in and out.
Bottom line, Alex, is that I think they're trying to manage this information.
I think that the information that is coming up, they're trying to make it Politically useful.
For instance, we now have a Daily Beast op-ed of the RFK Jr.
relationship with Epstein, even though he's been out worried about the fact that his ex-wife and Ghislaine Maxwell were close.
Now, I would love that to be elaborated on.
You know, there are allegations that Trump's first wife, Ivana, had a close relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell.
alex jones
Now, let's be clear. They were New York socialites.
They were New York socialized.
Everybody used their plane.
They were all in there together.
But there's no evidence of Trump and sex other than this one woman who recanted.
And bottom line, gut level, because no one knows...
I just don't think Trump's doing this.
He's a control freak. Roger Stone's been his wingman forever.
Trump likes bombshell adult women.
And he used to be his wingman when he was in between divorces, a double date.
And just like Roger told me years ago, he goes, the dossier's fake.
Trump's a clean freak, which later came out.
He's not having women piss on him.
And you think Donald Trump goes to Russia to be peed on in a hotel knowing he's being videotaped?
I mean, it just gets weirder and weirder and stupider and stupider.
And I don't even want to defend Trump unless he's innocent.
But I just... I just, it's ridiculous.
harrison smith
I have a question, Jason.
You probably know this answer. Is the woman that Trump is accused of being with, this woman named Jen, because you've got Ransom, or Ransom, or however you pronounce her name, she says her friend is the one that told her that Trump would sleep with her.
Her name was Jen. Was she underage at the time?
jason bermas
Do you know? I don't even know that that person was actually questioned.
alex jones
I was about to say, this is hearsay, hearsay.
This is hearsay, hearsay.
jason bermas
Absolutely. You know, if we're going to talk about Trump and we're going to talk about what is in the media, at least in the realm of allegations and the relationship to Epstein, I think it's fair to put out there That yes, the plane thing is real. It not only came out in this document, but Trump in articles with him on his plane.
That's a real thing.
We also know the business dealings, that competition, that may be the falling out.
That is also real.
Now, there's also an allegation out there, and this is a mainstream allegation, that Jeffrey Epstein held a party of 20 women who were overage for Trump, basically for women auditioning for wife number three, and Melania is, you know, the pick of the litter.
She's basically in that. Now, whether that's true or not, I don't know.
We do have that famous picture of Melania, Trump, Jeffrey, and Ghislaine, so we do know that they all knew each other.
alex jones
Well, I can tell you a few stories. I mean, I know people that know Trump well.
Like, take Jesse James. And back when he was married to Sandra Bullock, but even after, he's friends with Trump.
He stayed at Trump Tower in his residence many times.
He said Trump doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, but would hang out with them and go to like six, seven parties and just dance and have a great time all night.
And then he would go home with Melania.
I mean, so that's what Trump does.
jason bermas
We're talking about...
alex jones
But I mean, if Trump's going to six, seven parties a night, is he now a criminal because he's in photos with people?
jason bermas
No, not at all. And again, I'm not saying he's a criminal.
I'm just pointing out the fact that this is the fashion industry.
These were models.
Some of these people do take the behavior.
When we talk about Marcinkova, eventually, obviously, she's of age.
But Leslie Groth, Sarah Callen, these are people that seem to be working for that Epstein network and, of course, were beautiful women in their 20s.
So Again, I'm just putting out what's in the mainstream media.
That's not a part of this documentation at all.
And from what I've seen, obviously, Alex, if they had the goods on Trump and pedophilia, I think that they would have played that card.
There's a separate case outside of Epstein where there was one allegation from a woman named Katie Johnson, and people can watch her film testimony.
She blurs out her face.
But then that was later recanted.
And she tells a tale of being a 16-year-old girl outside of this network.
You know, again, people can watch that and decide for themselves.
I think there's a lot of holes in that story.
And again, if there was any legs to it, especially at the time when it came out, we were talking about the 2016 election, I think the media would have pounced on it and tried to make that the issue, and they didn't.
alex jones
Now, let's expand on this.
I mean, look, Trump did all these pageants.
Where are the women coming forward saying he raped him or attacked him?
And again, I'm not in the business of defending Trump.
I'm in the business of defending reality and common sense that the deep state's been all over him for eight years, and if they had something, they would have used it.
So, that's where I think Trump is innocent.
I don't think a woman that recanted something that a woman told her he liked her and had sex with her.
Because, I mean, I remember like five years ago, I was, six years ago, I was doing the Sunday show at a KJFK, or, well, I was on KJFK, KLBJ. Because I named KJFK as a joke after KLBJ. But I was doing the show out of there too.
I did that at both places. And there was a woman producer there, a middle-aged woman.
And she goes, hey, I know your friend such and such and said the name of some woman and told me who she was and said, you guys have dated for years.
You almost married her. And I didn't know this woman.
I wasn't like Trump running around with a bunch of women.
She told me where she worked, what she did, showed me a picture of her.
Oh, she's beautiful. She looks like Sharon Stone.
And I looked at her and I said, lady, I don't know her.
And it wasn't an allegation I did something wrong.
This is just, I'm famous.
Some woman was making it up to this woman that I was going to marry her.
I didn't even know who this woman was. I was like, well, she's very attractive.
But I mean, it's just crazy town when you're famous, how many people make stuff up.
But with Epstein, he has no money.
He's connected to Bill Barr.
He has this giant fashion mogul giving him millions of dollars.
He has islands, huge jets, facilities all over the place, world leaders visiting him, King Charles, his brother, Mossad chiefs, Israeli prime ministers, other prime ministers, huge facilities full of all these videos.
And what I know the media is doing, and I know this, the courts of the culture are not going after the really nasty stuff.
And they are just giving us some barely underage women and some stuff that came out of Florida to just keep us in that area.
And then this becomes a bigger distraction from all the real stuff like the CIA giving leaders of the Taliban little kids to have sex with, mainstream news.
Or the German government working with the CIA, 30,000 children placed with 30,000 pedophiles to be raped to create a new culture.
Or the sexualization of children.
Or just all the craziness we see more and more.
I'm just seeing Epstein cases a giant diversion.
harrison smith
Well, even just last week in Boston and D.C., outside of D.C., they rounded up a big network of brothels that they were saying was being used as a honeypot.
They forced the people to provide an I.D. and a government I.D. to guarantee who they were.
So whether Epstein, you know, no matter who he was, his death or supposed death or the
end of his operation doesn't mean these operations have ended.
They've just shifted.
Other operators have taken them over.
alex jones
That's right.
Well, Jason, since we've already covered this with this lady and all the rest of this, clearly
whether it's true or not, I don't think it is.
She recanted.
She says it's not true.
Is a recycling when it's her former claims.
Who knows if it's true or not?
But she goes to the lawyers and says, I saw the prince.
I saw Prince Andrew.
I saw Bill Clinton.
I saw Richard Branson.
Well, I didn't see Trump. Well, did one of your friends say?
Yeah, yeah, my friend said.
I mean, it really looks like they just added Trump on, and I'm speculating here, Jason.
Just threw him in there to make it political.
jason bermas
Well, I think that they're focusing on a lot of the political names.
And for instance, one of the names that was dropped today was Sergey Brin and his relationship to Epstein.
That's Google. Yeah, again, he had been named about last year when you had that dump of people like Chomsky and Minsky, who's basically now been named, of the relationship in the Rolodex with somebody like Peter Thiel, where they were supposed to have meetings in 2014.
I think they want to move away from the tech and the biomedical aspects of this.
And another person, I think that their name is going to get dropped a little bit more, and maybe we'll see some media coverage, but I think they're going to try to move away from it just like Bryn.
It's Larry Summers, Alex.
And this is somebody I know you've spoken about a ton, highly influential.
He goes from the Bush administration, the first one, or I'm sorry, 99, the Clinton administration, into the second Bush administration.
He's the president of Harvard.
And the reason I bring him up recently, you know, this is a Bilderberg guy, very influential guy, very connected to the Clintons, but he was recently put on the board of OpenAI.
And people are like, what does Larry Summers have to do with open AI? This is the extension of that network into not only the technological fields, but the biomedical fields.
Because when you look at open AI, their main drive is really creating and maintaining the great narrative they're trying to push on us.
harrison smith
And we actually did a really extensive coverage on that last time I was hosting War Room, the whole coup that took place at OpenAI, where you had the founder of it and CEO kicked out, and then other people brought it, and basically it ended up with Larry Summers being at the top of all of it, pulling all the strings.
alex jones
Exactly. And then there was a rebellion by the members, and it turns out it was letters to the shareholders To the board saying, this is really dangerous what you're doing.
We need to be careful. So they removed the founder that took like $80 billion overnight.
Then there's a rebellion. They bring him back.
But yeah, Larry Summers is brought in.
So we got to go to break here.
And I want to come back and talk more about Larry Summers and have both you guys respond to that because I know you both covered it.
But then I want to just pull back and ask, what's coming out about Epstein next?
And what are they trying to divert us away from?
Because, hey, whether you think Epstein is just a small part of this or a big part, I think he is a pretty big part, but just still a window into it.
They tried to deny this forever.
They don't want you knowing what goes on behind the scenes.
So I think overall, it's very positive that people are learning about honeypots and how this stuff operates.
harrison smith
And of course, I want to know what decisions were altered because of some of these videos.
You know, you don't just capture all these videos, hundreds of hours, hard drives, filling up rooms full of information just to not do anything.
alex jones
No, it's being used for blackmail.
unidentified
Exactly. And the question is, who controls the Justice Department right now?
alex jones
Is it Clinton? Is it Obama?
harrison smith
It's insane. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
This is Harrison Smith. You're watching The War Room on Infowars.com.
I'm here in studio with Alex Jones.
Jason Bermas joins us to talk about the latest Revelations from Jeffrey Epstein, really the game of perception that's being played right now as the mainstream media is doing everything they can to implicate Donald Trump because that name was mentioned.
alex jones
And by the way, I didn't even know this was breaking today.
And I said, I want to cover E. Jean Carroll because what an example of her Being this anti-Trump person, making all these wild videos, and then they change the law so they can go back decades and sue someone claiming that he grabbed her with no witnesses.
So then they have the judge find him guilty, then a jury find him how guilty, just like me, where you're guilty until proven how guilty, today.
Trump cannot argue he didn't rape E. Jean Carroll.
So he was already found guilty, $5 million of defamation, for saying in the court, I'm innocent.
And now he's still saying he's innocent so she can sue him again, again and again and again.
Now, if you're caught with dead bodies in the back of your trunk, you're allowed to say you're innocent.
And if you're found guilty in a civil trial, you can say, that's not true, I'm innocent.
These courts are so weaponized now, just like Trump in New York, where the judge found him guilty, and Leticia James, Attorney General, said he's guilty before the trial started, and then there's no jury, it's a judge deciding.
So, Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled that legal representation for former President Donald Trump cannot argue he did not rape E. Jean Carroll.
Okay, so this is just now broke, ladies and gentlemen.
The ruling came. Judge Kaplan wrote, defendant and his counsel shall not offer any evidence, conduct examination, or make any argument relating to Carol II's determination.
The plaintiff has failed to prove the defendant raped her with the meaning of the New York penal law, which they never found he raped her in the law.
They said, you defamed her by saying you don't know her.
Folks, I'm not joking.
So this is what...
Here's the judge's letter. Here is what they've turned the courts into.
I mean, this is a system destroying itself.
There's no way they ever come back from this.
They have screwed the pooch here, ladies and gentlemen.
Let's play a clip of her...
Saying rape is sexy, which I don't think it is, and saying most men think it, memory serves, and then saying that Anderson's shirt's basically hitting on Anderson Cooper.
So imagine, she says Trump grabbed her, the jury says his defamation, he did, the jury doesn't find he raped her, and then now he still says he's innocent, so she's suing him again, here's the club.
unidentified
You don't feel like a victim. I was not thrown on the ground and ravished.
The word rape carries so many sexual connotations.
This was not sexual.
It hurt.
I think most people think of rape as a violent assault.
I think most people think of rape as being sexy.
Let's take a short break. Think of the fantasies.
We're going to take a quick break.
greg in california
If you can stick around, we'll talk more on the other side.
You're fascinating to talk to.
harrison smith
It's one of the weirdest clips.
alex jones
And so Trump can't say he didn't rape this woman.
No witnesses, no nothing.
harrison smith
I have to laugh because it's just so bizarre.
But obviously there's multiple levels to the attacks against Trump, right?
There's trying to get the legal justification to take him off the ballot.
There's just the sheer distraction in trying to keep him tied up in court cases just to prevent him from doing anything political in the meantime.
And then there's the public perception, which I think ties into the Epstein thing, the Eugene Carroll thing, where Most people don't read past the headlines, especially the headlines that we're seeing about, like this one from The Messenger.
This was the one on top of Drudge.
Most people, if they're not reading this critically, might come away thinking, oh, there's tapes of Trump doing this.
So the public perception and just implanting in people's minds Trump's a rapist, Trump's friends with Epstein.
I have a fear that the average person is going to come away with everything being released with Epstein.
If you ask a regular person, you know who Jeffrey Epstein is?
They're going to say, oh, isn't that Trump's friend?
Something to do with Trump. He was like Trump's friend at the end of the day.
alex jones
Well, that's what they always do. And I want to get Jason's take on this, but that clip is so bizarre.
Trump is sued for saying he never knew her and he's innocent.
And now there's another suit because the jury didn't say he raped her, but that he lied about raping her.
And now there's another civil case where Trump can't say he's innocent again.
So it goes on and on and on and on and on.
unidentified
Play her one more time. You don't feel like a victim.
I was not thrown on the ground and ravished.
The word rape carries so many sexual connotations.
This was not sexual.
It hurt.
I think most people think of rape as a violent assault.
I think most people think of rape as being sexy.
Let's take a short break. Think of the fantasies.
We're going to take a quick break.
greg in california
If you can stick around, we'll talk more on the other side.
unidentified
You're fascinating to talk to.
jason bermas
Well, you look at that, Alex, and you see the reaction from Anderson Cooper himself, and he can't wait to get the break, try to get this back on the rails of the narrative they want to sell.
Now, E. Jean Carroll, you know, I was a big pop culture guy back when I was a kid.
I used to see her from time to time on television shows.
She was already middle-aged, and again, really not Trump's type when this allegedly happened.
You delve Further into the allegations and they meet while Trump is at the height of his celebrity in a crowded room where many people are trying to talk to him.
And somehow he takes her into this bathroom area and sexually assaults her.
And like you said, There's no jury trial.
There's really no evidence presented or anybody to back up these claims other than E.G. Carroll, and yet a judge just defaults that this is the case.
And to Harrison's point of narrative management, this ensures that the media, when they reference Trump, they can throw in Donald Trump, the rapist, and say, well, I'm referring to E.G. Carroll.
I would like to remind people That when this was brought up at that town hall on CNN, that just made him look so much better.
I mean, when they look at that in retrospect, I can't imagine they think that was a good decision.
When they brought up the E. Gene Carroll situation, The way that Trump described it was almost like a comedy bit, and I couldn't see one person in that audience that believed that narrative.
And essentially, it's really only strengthened him with the base or people that are just beginning to question narratives.
alex jones
Well, exactly. I mean, that's what I'm saying is it's open season, and I'm not going to get into the stories, so I'm not going to open a can of worms, but...
Five years ago, and we later learned from insiders that were there, they had law firms in California, Hillary Clinton's law firm, and they were trying to talk to former employees and saying, what we really want is to say Alex Jones is gay.
We think that'll hurt the audience.
Will you do that? So they got the guy that reportedly paid him money to say, well, Jones never hit on me, but he was psychically wanting to have sex with me.
No, that's in the Daily Mail article.
Don't pull it up. I'm not giving any attention.
Then there was another lady that, I guess we later learned they were a couple, Who said that I grabbed her by the butt and said, I want to marry a black woman.
Folks, that never happened.
But the point was, it was just for the media.
But what was really funny about it was, the lawyers were like, well, according to people that were there and witnessed it, because they were like, look, if you'll just tell us he's gay, we got some big cash for you.
And they were literally saying, that'll hurt him with his audience.
So, there you go.
harrison smith
Yeah, well, you can see from E. Jean Carroll's appearance on that, I mean, nobody even has to offer them anything.
They know if they come out and say something against Trump, they are celebrities from then on.
They'll be the heroes, they'll be the saviors that rescued us from Orange Hitler.
I mean, so, whether even anybody...
alex jones
And they feel good because he's a bad guy, he deserves to be, you know.
Right. Well, no, no, no, don't say...
Trump's being suiting in by her.
The judge said in the trial he can't even say he's innocent.
Can't even say he's innocent. How in a free country do you not say, I don't even remember this woman.
I never, you know, sorry, defamation.
harrison smith
No, it's just completely insane.
Again, that clip. I mean, the fact that anything continued after that interview, I mean, her credibility was completely shot.
And I'd like to read more about this.
It is very strange that it happened to come out today as we were talking about it.
alex jones
Well, it reminds me, not to write myself in the story, but it's true.
They had a former employee in the New York Times say that there was a fish tank here and that they were going to give the fish to their niece and that I said, F you and grab the fish and ate it.
Now, there's never been a fish tank here.
And there's never been any animals here other than, I guess, a few crickets I've seen.
Maybe I've seen a roach once. The place is pretty sterile.
It's kind of scary. Wow, I've never seen bugs around here.
I've been here 15 years in this building.
It's probably a lot of poison or something.
But the point is, is that that was a combination of Finding Nemo and Wolf of Wall Street.
Because in Wolf of Wall Street, when they aren't doing the selling right, he grabs the fish and eats it.
Reportedly a true story. I don't know.
And then in Finding Nemo, the fish is for the niece.
So it's kind of like the head of Harvard.
I think we've got some plagiarism here.
I mean, if you're going to make up some stuff, come up with something new here.
But Burmish, you were here for years.
You've been here for years. Have you ever seen a fish tank here?
harrison smith
I've never seen a fish tank here.
I'll go on the record. Jason?
jason bermas
I have never seen a fish tank there, but my dogs were in the building, and I do remember when LJ took a deuce on the rug that was new.
So, you know, those type of things happen.
I don't think you ever tried to eat my dogs, though, Alex.
alex jones
I don't remember your dog taking a crap on things.
I remember killing the neighbor's goat, though.
jason bermas
It didn't kill the neighbor's goat.
The goat was dead when I came out.
They were fenced out. That's funny, though, Alex.
The goat was pregnant, everybody, and it tried to give birth.
alex jones
How many years ago is this?
jason bermas
I remember this. That was, God, that's got to be 2010, 13 years ago, Alex.
It was probably almost like within a couple weeks, because the one dog that did that was the stray that actually came onto my property.
I went from two pit bulls, as you said, to three pit bulls, and you thought I was going to become a crazy cat slash pit bull lady, but I assure you that was the end of that, and I had three pit bulls for a very long time.
Fun times, but yeah, it was a lot of work.
alex jones
Oh my God. So, there are no fish, there are pit bulls.
jason bermas
There were, from time to time, a few lovable pit bulls in the building, everybody.
alex jones
But imagine the New York Times coming up with, there's a fish tank, and I eat a...
Have you ever seen me order fish?
I'm not a big fish guy. No.
harrison smith
It'd be sushi, wouldn't it be raw fish?
alex jones
I mean, if it's a really good seafood...
I like fish and chips if it's a good place.
I'm not making it about me.
The point is, I've sat here and watched them make stuff up that has...
Like, you'd think, if you're going to make a lie up, have 5% true.
There's nothing real.
It's just like, what?
harrison smith
Yeah, and I bet Jason knows the term.
What's the term where it's if you know something and then you read an article about it, you can tell that everything's fake.
But if you don't have foreknowledge about it and you read an article, you assume it's all true.
And so people that don't know anything about Trump, they read this, they assume it's true.
People that have been smeared by the media have had lies just completely fabricated out of whole cloth understand how that works.
But if you've never been subjected to that, Then that seems outrageous that they would just make things up.
I mean, the media, the American media, just making things up, completely untrue.
But it happens all the time. If you actually know about it and have been subjected to it, it's obvious how they make things up.
alex jones
Well, it's like McCarthy said, have you ever been a member or been involved in the Communist Party?
No. Like, have you ever had a fish tank at your office?
unidentified
No. But you were allowed...
harrison smith
You've never been brought up on charges on fish abuse, so...
alex jones
I've had a saltwater tank for 10 years, and I have some fish that are 10 years old, and I love them.
harrison smith
You were even talking about fish getting sick from malnutrition earlier today.
A lot of fish talk on that. There's a lot of fish talk.
alex jones
Well, I mean, that's as good as they got on me.
It's like, he murdered a fish.
That's also, guys, pull up the, who's that?
That's Pitbull. No, pull up a shot, what was I going to say?
harrison smith
You distract him with Pitbull.
alex jones
No, no, I was going to say, pull up A Fish Called Wanda.
That's like a 1980s, like 1989 comedy.
harrison smith
Have you seen that? No, I've never seen that.
jason bermas
I've seen it, Alex. That's old school.
What is that, Kevin Kline, I think it is?
alex jones
Yeah. And he's torturing him, making him answer the questions, eating the fish.
jason bermas
Yes. It was all about a valuable fish that was the running theme throughout that absurd movie.
alex jones
A fish called Wanda. And he even makes that giggle.
I haven't seen it in 20 years. When he's eating the fish, he goes, ooh, don't eat the green ones.
Remember that? He like eats the, yeah.
harrison smith
All right, it doesn't matter. Well, and the point of all of it is that people, if they want to take somebody down, will make up outrageous things.
And in this case, it seems like that's what's happening with Trump.
And it happens over and over again.
And it almost doesn't matter how ridiculous.
They might as well say he's picking live fish out of a tank and eating it when it comes to people like E.G. and Carroll, where it's just some of the...
alex jones
But like, what did I do to that reporter?
I was always nice to that guy.
Right. And then we found out he would, like, before he quit, probably an infiltrator, he would, like, literally go, I don't like these black people, start saying the N-word, and our crew would be like, hey, dude, you better stop that.
And it was just, like, literally, you know, we had the Southern Poverty Law Center infiltrate us last year with a guy, you know about that, and then they hacked into the camera system, and there was nothing bad.
It was like, me with a cigarette and a bottle of vodka, that's the best they got.
Like, hey, that's not a secret, folks.
Ha ha! I'm just telling listeners, man, you have no idea how the left harasses people.
So it's kind of hard to believe Trump's doing anything wrong when it always turns out it's not true.
harrison smith
That's all I'm saying. Yeah, every time.
And again, when it comes to Epstein, not only did he have all these hard drives full of video, and that's one of the weird things about these recent claims is the woman says, Ransom, says that she saw the video.
She says, no, I mean, she's not vague about it.
She says, quote, I personally can confirm that I have, with my own two eyes, seen the evidence of these sexual acts, which clearly identifies Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Richard Branson having sexual intercourse with my friend.
I will be more than willing to swear under oath and testify in court over these Sex tapes.
Now she later recanted that and says, oh no, there were no tapes.
I made all of that up. There were never any tapes.
But we know there were tapes.
We don't need this woman to tell us there were tapes.
alex jones
But see, by having somebody do that, I'm speculating, it discredits it all.
harrison smith
Right. Then they say, oh, the claims about the tape, that was recanted.
alex jones
As if you're a Mossad operative or MI6, both, like we know Epstein was, you're not showing the girls the videos.
jason bermas
Right, Jermermus? No, I would doubt that.
alex jones
We're not showing people all the videos of me eating fish.
jason bermas
Well, let's use an example from the documentation that has come out.
It's said by one of the Jane Doe's now being revealed that basically Epstein, after a sexual encounter with one of these men, would grill the girls, would interrogate the girls.
Well, he would get information, right, Alex?
So let's say he wasn't able to tape that one encounter.
Well, he could show that person another encounter or something else that was taped and then describe that sexual encounter, something he and she would only know, and that person would think he had that tape too.
So there's a lot of leverage going on and a lot of games being played, but we know We know that he had these tapes.
We know he had these photographs.
We know he had these hard drives.
Just the photographs alone that were in the safe and discussed, along with, again, which is not widely discussed, Saudi Arabian address and what?
A false identity.
How many investigative journalists have looked at that address and identity and tried to track down exactly what Epstein was doing and where he was doing it under that guise?
I'll tell you how many. It's a big zero.
alex jones
No, I totally agree with you, and I shouldn't joke around so much.
It just becomes a joke when this has happened, but I'm going to come clean right now.
I actually did eat the fish, and they've released the footage as part of the Epstein investigation.
Here is, with audio, please, guys.
Can we get it ready? I'll be able to see the full crime.
Harrison looks like the guy that did it.
You added a mustache. Who was that actor?
I liked him. What was his name?
jason bermas
It's Kevin Kline, I think.
alex jones
Yeah, let's go ahead and roll it with audio if we can.
Here is Harrison Smith actually killing the fish.
I was falsely accused.
It was it was Harrison, here it is.
unidentified
Isn't it?
Oh, dear lord.
Down the hatch.
harrison smith
That was before I dyed my hair.
unidentified
Thank you.
Delicious! Better eat the green one.
Okay. What's this one's name?
Well, not Wanda, anyway.
I'm going to call her Lund.
Hello, Lund. Hello.
You. Avoid the green ones.
alex jones
They're not ripe yet.
But now because the court putting out all of this hearsay, instead of where's the FBI tapes, where's the videos they got, it just becomes a big distraction.
And a big who said, she said, who said.
harrison smith
And Jason, you're the expert on this.
I mean, what is your big takeaway from everything that's been released so far?
Because it has been, what, five or six releases.
Sometimes people are saying there's a release, but it's old information.
I mean, what have we actually learned over the recent releases for the Jeffrey Epstein info?
jason bermas
Again, not much, right?
Like, I said that most of this would have been in the public arena, but I think the things that I focused on, for instance, that we now have Marcinkova directly not discussing Bill Clinton and other bigwigs and what they did.
I think the fact that now we're starting to look at more of the financial stuff.
In other words, we're having names redacted where They're talking about the Bill and Hillary Clinton Foundation actually funding the escapades of Ghislaine Maxwell and those projects.
They're focusing away from that.
We're finding again...
alex jones
Exactly. You've got the Democratic Party, the Bill and Melody Gates Foundation's involved, the Clinton Global Initiative's involved.
That's really what's important, is that there was a lot more than just sex going on here.
jason bermas
Absolutely. So instead of focusing on those revelations, the money revelations, or the actual names in these eyewitness accounts that we now know of people that were involved, because Marcinkova, absolutely involved.
Groff, absolutely involved.
Kalen, absolutely involved.
We're worried about the quote about Bill Clinton liking him young.
Is that a revelation?
Is that something new?
Does that add to the conversation?
No, it doesn't. But it does distract away from the fact that, again, we're not focusing on New Mexico at all.
That's not in these documents, right?
Other than Bill Richardson.
alex jones
We never hear about Paris.
We never hear about Zorro Ranch.
We hear some about the island, but mainly about New York.
I agree with you. Zorro Ranch was the big complex.
jason bermas
Well, that was the complex where Bill and Hillary Clinton literally had a part-time residence.
So they would visit together, and they had their own little ranch on that compound.
That's a big deal.
Remember, Hillary Clinton really hasn't been mentioned much in the Epstein case.
alex jones
But she likes young girls.
It's come out. She's got more tail than a toilet seat, Clinton said.
jason bermas
You know what? I've heard that quote too.
All I'm going to say is obviously the relationship with the Clintons was extensive in that what?
They were at Chelsea Clinton's wedding.
When I say they, Ghislaine Maxwell is pictured there.
alex jones
And she stands out from the crowd too.
It's like they shot down the steel with them coming out and she stands out like, hmm.
Webster Humble's daughters never look more horse-like.
jason bermas
WebHubble is another great example.
People wonder how these things can happen.
For those that don't know what Alex is referencing, WebHubble was one of the lawyers that Hillary Clinton worked with back in the day.
The other person would be Vince Foster.
What gate was it?
The Whitewater Gate?
What was it? It wasn't Watergate.
harrison smith
Yeah, the Whitewater Scandal.
jason bermas
Whitewater. Yes, the Whitewater scandal is where we got some revelations on that.
But years and years later, there was an article out there where Bill Clinton was directly asked about Chelsea Clinton.
He said he didn't sire her and that it was Webb Hubble.
Webb Hubble got asked on the record by World Net Daily and he gave no comment.
Chelsea Clinton has actually been confronted with this information, but if you look at it, there is no doubt that Hillary Clinton, who was also rumored to be having a sexual relationship with Vince Foster, was having one with Webb Hubble as well.
If you can look at Chelsea Clinton and look at a picture of Webb Hubble and not see clearly that this is the man that fathered her, I'm sorry, you're blind.
harrison smith
It's like Trudeau and Castro.
Right, you look at a picture of Justin Trudeau and Castro.
alex jones
Yeah, but they were never really in proximity except a few visits, but yeah.
Hey, seriously, what are you going to cover after we leave?
Burma's great job. Where do people find your show?
jason bermas
You're about to start it right now. Check me out over at what is now Patriot.tv, Monday through Friday, 6 p.m.
Eastern. And it's an interview-based show.
We're going to be doing more stuff outside of that, especially with these Epstein documents.
But you just follow me, at Jason Bermas, on everything.
And I'm going to keep up on this.
I'm doing the spaces like you are, Alex.
And anything new that I think is relevant is definitely going to be covered.
alex jones
You're doing a good job keeping track of it all.
Thank you. All right, Harrison, you're about to take over the next two hours.
Owen's got some well-deserved time hanging out with family.
What are you going to cover coming up?
harrison smith
We got a lot of stuff to cover.
We got, of course, the invasion, German farmers taking to the street and actually making a big difference.
Massive. We have an article from Bloomberg that says this year there's more elections than ever, and that's a big problem for democracy.
Elections are going to destroy democracy, so we'll get into how exactly...
alex jones
Don't investigate for yourself.
harrison smith
Yeah, exactly. It's even worse than that.
I mean, essentially, they're saying you're voting for the wrong people, so we're going to not let you vote anymore.
The window coming off the Boeing, we're going to look into that, how that happened.
We have a lot to cover coming up.
And of course, knowing Owen Schroer, he can't stay away.
So there's going to be a special message from Owen as well.
alex jones
Owen's coming up. And you saw the Democrat Congress lady saying, of course I need illegals to change the districting.
harrison smith
Just outright admitting it at this point.
And then Nancy Pelosi and AOC saying, the only solution to illegal immigration is to basically legalize everybody.
Hey, there's no crime if you just don't charge anybody with a crime.
alex jones
Everybody watching on X, band out video, rumble everywhere.
Share the links. It's how we reach new people.
I know you're already awake and aware, but other people aren't.
Now they're hungry for the truth.
Share the war room with Harrison Smith sitting in now, and I'll see you back tomorrow at 11 a.m.
harrison smith
Central on my own show. And we'll be right back with a message from Owen Schroyer, live from vacation.
The man can't stay away. Stay with us.
Second hour begins in about 90 seconds.
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
This is The War Room.
I'm your host, Harrison Smith, sitting in for Owen Schroer this week.
We're doing a little bit of musical chairs.
I'm sitting in for Owen today and tomorrow.
And actually, I'll do that through Thursday, and then I'll be back at the American Journal.
And Chase Geiser will be here in The War Room on Friday afternoon.
Just shifting spots, you know, making up...
Like on a warship, if you're manning a cannon and a guy goes out of action, the next guy jumps in and mans that cannon.
So I'm here doing the best I can to cover for Owen Short.
He'll actually be calling in in the next segment.
We'll be hearing from him. He has some breaking news he wants to bring us because he just can't stay away.
The man can't not be doing what we do, which is just being involved and being sort of obsessed with the news on a daily basis.
And goodness gracious, there is no shortage of just absolutely absurd headlines that we'll
get into over the next two hours.
May I open up the phone lines as well?
Ever since we've been streaming on X, I understand we've gotten a lot of new audience.
Chase, who was hosting the American Journal for me this morning, said I opened up phone
lines and it was like they filled up faster than ever before and it was a bunch of names
we didn't recognize.
We love our regular callers, but we also really love hearing from people that we haven't heard
from before, whether they're just now finding out about InfoWars or have been big fans for
years and but have never called in.
We love seeing names we don't recognize.
Maybe I'll open up phone lines later in the third hour.
Just give you a little taste of some of the absurdity that we're going to get into over
the next two hours from Chicago Sun-Times.
Migrants mental health in Chicago is a looming crisis.
Migrant mental health in Chicago is a looming crisis.
I don't even know what that means.
Does that mean they're insane?
Does that mean that all of the migrants that we're bringing in are just wavering on the edge of a psychic breakdown where they start just going crazy?
Why are we worried about the mental health of people that shouldn't be here?
Were they healthier at home?
Maybe we can, as a...
In addition to that, we have from Bloomberg, 2024 is the year of elections and that's a threat to democracy.
I'm just going to read that headline again for you in case you think I messed up somehow.
2024 is the year of elections, and that's a threat to democracy.
More than 40% of the global population will be voting this year, and we have a 10% chance everything will go well.
We'll get into... What the hell they're even talking about?
How can voting be a threat to democracy?
Well, it's a threat to our democracy if you vote for the people that they don't want, including parties like the AFD, the Alternative für Deutschland in Germany, the right-wing party that is still continuing to grow in its support and dominate in local elections.
And so, of course, their solution to this rising popularity of a democratic party is to...
Make them illegal to say if you support AFD you're a terrorist and outlaw them from holding office.
It's our democracy after all and if something comes too popular with the people you use terrorist laws to shut them down.
It's Yeah, I don't want to keep saying absurd, but it's the best word for it.
It's all ridiculous and absurd.
Meanwhile, Fauci will appear before Congress to answer questions on mask mandates and COVID-19 origins.
I know Rand Paul is very excited to talk about this.
He is in Washington today, January 8th.
The questioning will go on for two days and we'll bring you some updates as to what is being asked of Fauci as more and more information about not just the source of COVID being a lab origin.
But also the vaccine and the incredible amount of death.
Of course, Alex went on for two hours today with a very knowledgeable expert in the 17 million number.
That's increasingly being talked about even in mainstream news as the number of people who have been killed because of the vaccine.
We also have this story. BlackRock plans to lay off 600 employees, about 3% of their global workforce, almost entirely from the DEI ESG. There is a man who is whatever America needs him to be.
unidentified
Not the hero we deserve, but the hero we need.
Nothing less than a knight.
Shining. They'll hunt him.
They'll set the dogs on him.
Because the truth is the greatest threat they face.
It's the war room.
with Owen Schreier.
owen shroyer
Alright ladies and gentlemen, Owen Schreier coming to you remotely here today.
And I just want to give the audience a bit of an update here.
This was already some pre-planned time off that I'm taking to spend time with family, get caught up with family.
Since I'm not able to travel and I miss the Thanksgiving holiday, it's hard to keep up and see family.
So Alex actually told me I could take three weeks if I wanted or needed it.
But as you can see, it's difficult enough for me to take one day.
Let alone a whole week.
So I'm guessing I will be back hosting next Monday.
But I want to thank Alex Harrison, Jason Bermas, and the rest of the guests for filling in for me this week while I'm away with family.
I'm truly blessed.
I gotta tell you, I'm truly blessed.
God's blessings continue to rain down on me.
But I'm looking forward to Harrison covering some of the breaking news he had just mentioned.
The Fauci testimony, the latest Epstein developments, and so much more.
But there were some things... That I felt I did need to come on here and address because they directly involve me.
And one of those things is the debate, if you want to call it that.
I actually think the moderator did a good job just letting the guys go after one another, quite frankly, instead of having kind of a traditional debate style.
But let's call it a debate that was truly historic that InfoWars hosted this Saturday.
But I wanted to address a couple things because I was a topic of discussion, but it's not about me.
It's about my case, and it's about how it was indeed a precedent-setting case, as I warned it would be.
But before I get into that, let's kind of just lay the backdrop here.
Joe Biden has been completely unhinged when it comes to the January 6th rhetoric ever since Saturday.
And if you've been following his Twitter account or whoever posts from there, if you are following his comments regarding January 6th, Then you realize why his new nickname is Dementia Hitler.
But it really hit me in this moment.
And I know we already talked about how this was the Democrats' Reichstag moment, but it even hit me even more so watching them recommit to this false narrative, watching them recommit to their attacks on Trump supporters, Really, in a more aggressive fashion from the highest level of power in the land, the presidency, than we've seen to this day.
And it really hit home.
And I know we've talked about this before, but I think it's worth putting this back into our consciousness to understand what we're really going through here in this history.
This was truly the Democrats' Reichstag moment.
And if you understand what the Reichstag meant for the Nazis and World War II, We're good to go.
They really wanted to have a massive riot that day that saw mass violence, mass damage, and they really wanted the images.
Forget about what we saw during Trump's inauguration in 2017, which of course they do want us to forget about that violence, which was actually rioting and violence, but they didn't cover that.
That was never an insurrection. That was never a problem.
That was just what the Democrats do.
But they really wanted the scenes probably closer to what we saw in the summer of 2020 during the Democrat riots, where you take a picture from above these cities, Washington D.C., Chicago, Minneapolis, all these cities, and it's just fires and smoke and police lights.
I mean, it truly looks like a war zone.
That's what they wanted on January 6th.
Now, they didn't get that.
But that's what they wanted.
Let's be clear. Their operatives that were on the ground that day, that was the optics they wanted.
That was the moment they wanted, and they didn't get it.
Which, thank God for that.
Thank God for Alex Jones for helping in that.
And thank God that Trump supporters aren't violent people, generally speaking.
But they continue to lie about all the details.
Now, that's par for the course.
Of course, they're going to lie about all the details.
Of course, they're going to lie. There were no weapons there.
There was never any intent or anything like that.
But I don't want to go back into those details.
But let's just take a pause since they really, really came after the January 6th false narrative harder than ever, I think, this last weekend.
Let's really know what that was about.
The Democrats wanted their Reichstag moment and they didn't get it.
But they had a game plan and they're sticking to it.
So when you see Joe Biden and the Democrats come out with all these lies and the false narratives and stoking up their rhetoric and stoking up the division and poking and prodding at the Trump supporter and warning, as unfortunately I predicted Matthew Graves, warning, yeah, we're about to arrest hundreds if not thousands of more people for January 6th.
So maybe get ready for that, too.
Maybe get ready for that, too.
There might be hundreds or thousands of more arrests this year dealing with January 6th, including to journalists.
So don't be surprised if that happens, because that was their Reichstag moment.
Now, if you don't know about the Reichstag, the Nazis burned their own building, blamed their opposition, and then assumed full power, full authority.
So are the Democrats going to do that next in 2024, just cancel the election?
Are we going to see a cyberattack?
Are we going to see a U.S. Navy vessel bombed?
Are we going to see something so that they can totally assert themselves?
Blame it on Russia. Blame it on Iran.
Blame it on whoever. That's what we have to be on the lookout for.
But you know what? Here's the final thing that I think is the most important.
That came from the debate.
Because aside from the facts and fictions of January 6th, that you know what the truth is, I know what the truth is.
The unfortunate thing is that the American left and liberals have no clue what the truth is.
And what occurred to me listening to the Krasensteins, who have agreed to come on this show in the future, by the way, to debate me on my sentencing in January 6th.
So I do intend to have them on the show when I get back and I assume they will honor their word.
But it occurred to me listening to them speak Why the American left is so dangerous?
There is a combination of ignorance and arrogance that the American left is encapsulated in right now.
And it is the most dangerous combination in politics that you can ever imagine.
It's what led to the French revolutions, j'accuse, and then off with his head.
I think the only thing that outweighs the liberal leftist American's Ignorance is their arrogance.
And we saw a perfect example of that in the debate Saturday when Krasenstein and Destiny, I think was the other guy's name, said there was never police waving people into the building.
I mean, ladies and gentlemen, this has been well documented.
There's multiple videos, multiple angles, multiple locations, and that's just straight up ignorant.
To say that there was never a stand-down of police.
To say that Trump never requested more police.
Again, that's just well-documented facts.
And they just sit there smugly, smirking, saying, none of that exists.
And then they get into my case.
And they start saying things about my case that are clearly untrue.
And for them to go on there and speak so confidently about my case when it's clear, they've never even read the sentencing documents.
They have no clue the details of any of my charges.
And so when you see that, It's the deadliest combination in politics, ladies and gentlemen, ignorance and arrogance.
And that's what we're getting from the American left right now.
And when they have that, the American media can do what?
It can trick them into burning cities down, burning buildings, attacking police officers, attacking citizens of the street, just like we've seen so many times most recently in the summer of 2020.
But this is what we're dealing with.
So these are truly historic times, and that's why it's so hard for me to stay away.
But I do intend on being back next week.
So I hope you'll continue to support the show by shopping at Infowarsstore.com so that there will be a show.
But I know you will continue to support us because we're still here despite all the attacks, all the censorship, and yet Still, we are on the air, and that alone is a victory.
I appreciate Harrison for keeping my seat warm and all the other guests and guest hosts that are going to be joining us.
See, here at InfoWars, we like to provide you with great guest hosts.
A lot of other people, when they take time off, they put some schlub in the seat because they want to look even better when they take time off.
They want their audience to miss them even more when they take time off.
We like to put talent and smart, informed people in the chair when we're away because that's what it's all about here at Infowars.
So I appreciate Harrison for doing that.
Now, I only planned on doing one segment.
I know Harrison has a lot of news.
Harrison, I'll volunteer myself for another segment if you've got any questions or anything you want to go over with me.
harrison smith
I absolutely do.
I'm going to keep you here for one more segment because I think the way you just broke down arrogance and ignorance, I think we need to delve a little bit more into that because I think that is an absolute brilliant way to illustrate, as you rightfully point out, like the biggest problem that we have right now.
I also have the video of Matthew Graves, U.S. District Attorney, saying they're going after everybody.
That was basically in D.C. at this point.
I mean, it's been three years and they're still ramping up the prosecution.
So we'll show that video.
I'd love to get into that on the other side.
Stay with us. All right, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
This is Harrison Smith sitting in for Owen Schroyer on The War Room.
Of course, Owen is joining us.
He was only supposed to stay with us for one segment, but what you said there, Owen, I wanted to expand on, so I wanted you here with me to expand on this.
Is Owen getting my audio here?
Arrogance and ignorance and the combination, the danger of the combination between arrogance and ignorance.
And so just during the break, I just searched those two terms, arrogance and ignorance.
And I found a lot of actual scientific literature talking about the relation between these two things, saying actually that arrogance is often a sign of ignorance.
If you're ignorant about something, there's...
I don't know. I guess it's humility that's the opposite of these things, right?
Humility says, yeah, I may not know.
I could be wrong.
Who's to say? I think I know what's right, but if you tell me something that's different, then I'll change my mind.
And it takes a certain level of humility and a lack of self-importance.
And it's that self-importance that the left just oozes.
They're better than you. They know more than you, even when they haven't even started to look at this information.
So I just wanted to keep you on to expand on this a little bit.
Arrogance is And ignorance and the toxic brew that's created when these two things exist in the same individual, as it seems to exist in everybody on the left.
Destiny and the Krasensteins sort of as a paramount example of this, but they're not the only example, obviously.
owen shroyer
Well, that debate or argument, whatever you want to end up calling it, was so important.
And this is why political debate is so important.
And in my mind, this is why the American left avoids it like the plague.
they're going to be totally exposed.
I mean, most of these people know they don't actually do any research, right?
They just glob on to whatever the narrative is or whatever feels comfortable or
whatever feels like the diverse, liberal, accepting thing to do or
say, they don't actually do any research of their own.
I mean, that was shocking.
I remember tuning in and when they said, Trump never requested National Guard.
There was no standout of the police.
There weren't police waving people into the building.
And Alex just had his facepalm moment.
It's just like, oh my gosh.
Like, oh my gosh. These people really have no idea what's going on.
And they vote. And they vote.
And they have influence.
And they influence young people.
And they teach. And they're doctors.
harrison smith
I mean, they don't just vote.
These are like... Lead thinkers on the left.
These are people that the left points to as being, you know, brilliant and tuned in and they listen to their advice.
Because then you take it to just the average person and the level of ignorance is almost unimaginable.
I mean, these are people who it's their job every day they're talking about political stuff.
Every hour of every day they're on Twitter engaging in this stuff and yet they still don't know the most basic facts.
Now think about the average person that's got a job and kids and pets and they're, you know, up to their ears and debt and...
They don't look into this stuff at all.
Imagine how ignorant they must be.
owen shroyer
And I mean, there were just so many examples of that.
So many moments of that.
And it's just so frustrating because you just wish that somehow you could crack through that thick We're good to go.
But realizing and accepting the things that we've realized and accepted is just too discomforting, right?
And it's not politically correct.
It's nice and comfortable to be politically correct and stay on that side of the aisle.
I'm sure you saw that video.
In fact, I may have actually found it from you.
Where a individual did a compilation of Scott Adams talking about how the anti-vaxxers were right.
And he juxtaposed that with your commentary and my commentary and Alex's commentary.
And he said, you guys won, you guys won.
And we're saying we didn't win.
This was not a win or loss.
The win would have been if people would have listened to us and not taken it.
But unfortunately, that wasn't what happened.
I have family members that took it and now guess what?
They're on blood thinners the rest of your life because they had a negative side effect.
So, I mean, that's exactly what we're talking about, though.
We've accepted the world for what it is.
That's what it is. We know the world that we live in.
As dark and scary as that acceptance might be, it's liberating and it's just the reality.
So you can sit here and say, oh, the cops never waved people into the Capitol.
You're not living in reality.
You can sit here and say, the Feds had no involvement on January 6th.
You're not living in reality.
You can sit here and say they had no idea the vaccines were gonna be having side effects and all these heart problems.
You're not living in reality.
They didn't know the virus came out of a lab.
They had no idea. You're not living in reality.
This isn't a left or right issue.
We might land on the right side.
Politically speaking, we might have conservative values.
Some of us might have liberal values when it comes to certain issues, too.
But this is about common sense and reality.
Exactly. And we're reaching this point now, and I think that this is kind of a lot of what Elon Musk refers to as the woke mind virus.
You truly have a mind virus.
You don't live in reality anymore.
But then there's the ignorance and the arrogance and the laziness that comes with it.
If you're about to go on a debate about January 6th, and you haven't even done a modicum of research
enough to understand any of the circumstances that there were obviously confidential informants there,
that there were obviously agitators and instigators there posing as Trump supporters,
that there was obviously a police and National Guard stand down, the facts are there,
and there were police waving people into the building, then you're not even trying.
You're not even giving it a basic effort.
And quite frankly, just to make this quick point, this is why I switched from sports to politics when I was 24 years old.
I guess 10 years ago, a decade ago.
This is why I switched from sports to politics.
Because for the first time ever, I tuned into the mainstream news and I started looking at information that was relevant to politics and current events.
And it just, it hit me like a ton of bricks.
Like, oh my gosh. People are following uninformed individuals.
People are following literally fake news.
It took me one day of watching mainstream media, cable news for current events in politics.
It took me one day to realize that.
And I could never look back.
I said, I have to take my talents and my abilities as a broadcaster and a journalist and a reporter, and I have to be that guy.
I have to tell the truth. And then I found out, okay, there are other organizations out there.
There are other individuals out there.
Of course, They never get the love in the mainstream media.
They don't get promoted on all these mainstream But yet here we are at Infowar still fighting the good fight.
And I mean, yeah, if Scott Adams wants to say, okay, you were right, that's fine.
We were right. But it's not a win.
It's not a victory.
It's sad that this is the world we live in.
And it's sad that we have to sit here time after time again.
Alex Jones was right, you know, it's not there.
You can't find a jar on the earth big enough to fill it.
And yet here we are right time and time again.
And still people don't understand.
We don't make this stuff up.
We're not conspiracy theorists.
We're students of the world that surround us.
We're students of history.
We have logic and common sense that most people have had brainwashed out of them.
And we're just trying to get people to understand this is the world you live in.
harrison smith
100%. And I actually, I talked about this last week because when I was at a wedding the weekend before, I brought up the fact that the CIA sold crack in LA ghettos in the 80s as an example of something that I thought the person I was talking to would know about because it's so well known.
And she said to me, she said, isn't that a scared way to live?
Aren't you just living in fear thinking that that's the type of thing the government did?
And I had to go, look, this is just what happens.
I don't know what to tell you. It's true.
It's been documented.
There's been congressional hearings.
It's not to me whether or not to determine this is true.
But, you know, you hit the nail on the head there when you said that, you know, you're talking about living in fear.
It's like we've broken out of the fear.
We're just... It's not living in fear to see the bull running at you and try to come up with how to grab its horns to take it down.
Owen Troyer, I'm going to let you get back to relaxation.
Owen will be back on next Monday.
Thank you so much for joining us.
Honestly, we could go on for the whole hour, but I'm going to let you have your vacation.
I'll get into some of this news on the other side.
Owen Troyer, ladies and gentlemen. Alright folks, we are back on The War Room.
It's been quite an exciting show so far with Jason Bermas and Alex in studio.
And great appearance by Owen Schroyer.
He'll be back next Monday behind the desk, but I wouldn't be surprised.
And he of course is invited and welcome to join us every day if he wants.
After all, every day there's something that's worth talking about.
But for the last half of the show, it's just you and me, folks.
Although I may open up the phone lines, so stay tuned for that.
We'll open up the phone lines probably in the third hour, but we have a lot to talk about before then.
Still, I'm just kind of obsessing now about this point that Owen made of arrogance and ignorance and the combination of those two.
You know, everything's so inverted.
These days, like, not just wrong, not just incorrect, but actually inverted.
The opposite of reality.
Black is white. White is black.
Wars, peace. You know, everybody knows these things.
But especially when it comes to a place like Infowars, where we're accused of spreading myths and disinformation, 90% of what I do here is debunking mainstream media.
What we do is we confront the lies in the mainstream media and correct them.
We almost never are the ones, like...
Coming up with stuff. We don't come up with anything.
We respond to what the mainstream media says.
We react to the mainstream media's lies in order to correct them.
We debunk things.
We are debunkers of misinformation, not spreaders of misinformation.
Just like conspiracy, saying that we are a conspiracy theorist.
We're coming up with these conspiracies.
We're just reading what's in the mainstream media.
It's all right there.
And you would think that We're good to go.
And when you really think about it, it starts to make sense when you differentiate confidence from arrogance.
And arrogance has this attitude of condescension, looking down, thinking you're better than somebody else.
And it's almost a necessary thing to have when you are ignorant and unconfident in your ignorance.
And this is something I remember very distinctly sort of learning this probably when I was 15.
When I was 15, I was...
Going to work at, going to film weddings for this company.
It was a guy and his family, and they would go out and film weddings.
And I wanted to work with them, but I was 15, so the boss, Jack, was like, I want to meet your parents.
And we all went out to dinner so he could talk to my parents about me working for him and all that sort of stuff.
And at one point, my dad was sort of making a joke, and he was going, so you're videographers.
How's the relationship with the wedding photographers?
Do you just stand across the room and leer at one another?
And I remember my boss Jack, you know, I sort of laughed and he laughed and goes, I'm sorry, what does leer mean?
And he didn't know what the word leer meant.
And I think we've all been in that situation where like somebody says something, you can't quite hear him, but you just sort of laugh along and go, haha, yeah, totally, absolutely, totally.
And then you just hope they don't ask you a follow-up question because you didn't actually hear them.
And it was such like a, such a revelation to me of just like, We're good to go.
It was just sort of a revelation to me of being like, all right, confidence isn't the ability to know everything and do everything and you never look bad and never look stupid.
It's the ability to put yourself in a situation where you might look stupid or admitting your ignorance in a certain regard and not feel like that reflects badly or poorly on you.
To have the confidence, but it's not arrogance, but the confidence to say...
Yeah, I don't know anything about this.
I don't know what that word means.
I know a lot of other stuff.
I'm a pretty smart dude.
I have a lot of things I can talk about that you don't know about, but I don't know about this one thing, so why don't you tell me?
How about I'm not the authority in this situation?
And it came around again in 2016 when I would be talking to friends, and I've always been political.
All through high school, I was very political, very conservative.
All my friends knew this. They all knew that I cared about things that they didn't care about.
I read InfoWars.
I watched Alex Jones. I read white papers.
I did all that stuff. They didn't.
Then 2016 comes around, and instead of sort of having the humility or just confidence to say to me, hey, you know about this stuff.
Like, what do you think? And then sort of listening to me, they were trying to tell me things that And they don't know anything.
They don't know anything about it. And it was always strange to me because I don't really watch football.
I don't care about football.
And so it's so bizarre to me to think that I would maybe go into a conversation about a football team I don't know.
I don't even know what... Like, assumption that they knew things without actually having to learn anything.
That they could just hear the mainstream media and then they were instantly super well-informed, better informed than anybody else, and would talk down to me like I didn't know what I was talking about.
And I would just have to look at them and go, you know that I know more about this than you, right?
Like, you get that. Like, if the positions were reversed and I was trying to talk down to you about the Texans offensive line...
Wouldn't that be kind of silly?
Wouldn't that be kind of ridiculous for me to pretend like I know more than you about this thing that I don't study?
And so there actually is a distinct sort of combination between arrogance and ignorance in that if you don't know something and you're shamed about that or you're embarrassed about it or you feel like it's a personal – yeah, you feel shame.
You feel embarrassed. Yeah.
The example that Owen Troyer brought up about opening the doors in the Capitol.
To me, as a humble person, as somebody that doesn't feel arrogant, doesn't feel better than anybody else, understands that every single person in the world has knowledge I don't have and that I can learn from.
And even things I study, I might be missing something.
I might be missing an aspect that explains things I have questions about.
Maybe I'm speculating about something and then somebody can come along and say, well, here's the answer, right?
Then I change my mind.
And I quote all the time the Winston Churchill quote, I'd rather be right than consistent, which is the opposite of what an arrogant and ignorant person would believe.
If I believe that January 6th was an insurrection, and I believe that there was no aspect of it that could be considered an inside job, and then I'm shown video footage of police opening the door and high-fiving protesters walking in, and I've never seen that footage before, I'm gonna change my mind.
I'm gonna go, oh, wow, this is evidence I hadn't seen before.
Maybe this was an inside job.
Maybe this was sort of coordinated.
Maybe this wasn't as bad as I thought.
I'd be embarrassed to continue to believe the thing that was just disproven.
But to these people, to the arrogant people, the people whose self-importance and self-image is paramount in their own conception of who they are and their identity, they have to outright reject evidence that's contrary to the position that they hold because that shatters their self-importance, arrogance, condescension. It shows how ridiculous it is.
It explains a lot to me.
It explains a lot to me how the more arrogant somebody is, It's almost a correlation, causation.
They're going to be more ignorant.
The more arrogant they are, the more ignorant they are, and vice versa.
And I think that's something that we do at Infowars extremely well, if I can pat ourselves on the back.
Not in an arrogant way, but in a thoughtful way.
I know me, Owen, Chase, Alex, everybody that works here is perfectly willing to be shown information
that's contrary to our beliefs and will change our mind or try to incorporate it somehow, right?
We'll say, okay, this is new evidence.
This is a new puzzle piece that needs to fit into the image that I'm crafting.
Otherwise the image is wrong.
The puzzle piece is out of place and the whole thing is ruined.
So I'd rather be right than consistent.
And if I'm presented with information that's contrary to what I believe,
I will change my belief to fit the evidence, not ignore it or arrogantly or condescendingly disregard it
to make myself feel better.
And I really think that's what's kept Infowars so correct about everything for so long, is that we do go off evidence, and even if we assume something about an event, saying something's an inside job, and then we're shown information that proves otherwise, we go, oh, okay.
Cool, that explains that then.
And then we move on. And that's a...
Just like everything, you have to identify the characteristics of our enemies and then try to embody the opposite.
So if our enemies are ignorant and arrogant, then we're going to be humble and informed.
You can do that at Infowars.com.
Welcome back to the War Room, ladies and gentlemen.
We have... A lot of stuff still to talk about today, including the immigration crisis continues to just swamp American infrastructure with literally tens of millions of foreigners.
We're going to talk about the danger that voting poses to democracy.
Completely absurd. And we're going to talk...
About a lot of stuff, but I want to bring you this story because this just broke.
In Fort Worth, there's been a massive explosion in downtown Fort Worth.
Fort Worth police declare major incident after possible mass casualty gas explosion.
They've said it is a major incident.
They're asking people to stay away from downtown Fort Worth in the Sandman Hotel.
They say it's a possible gas explosion.
It's been reported at a hotel in downtown Fort Worth.
Police have declared it a major incident.
At least 11 people were injured in the incident.
Here you're seeing some B-roll captured just after the fact.
You can see it is an absolutely massive explosion.
There's no information yet as to the extent of injuries, but CBS News reported one patient is in critical condition.
One CBS reporter on the scene said in a post on X, at least 10 patients mass casualty incident declared after possible gas explosion at the Sandman Hotel in Fort Worth.
But that's speculation at this point.
They're speculating it was a gas explosion, but that's not the only possibility.
The only thing from the police is that it's a major incident and the people should avoid the downtown area, saying they'll share more details as they can confirm more information.
Now usually with a gas explosion, the gas explosion takes place at a residence usually.
It's not very often that a business will have a gas explosion because typically it's when somebody is out of the house and there's a gas leak and so the gas fills up the interior and then a spark finally ignites it.
But gas doesn't have a natural smell, natural gas or propane, any of these things.
They don't actually have that pungent smell that we associate with gasoline or any of these things.
That's actually a chemical that's added specifically so people can identify and detect it when it's in the air.
So typically if there's a gas leak in a public building with lots of people going in and out, It would be identified pretty quick.
Like somebody there would smell it.
It smells like gas around here.
In order to have this level of explosion, right?
Because what happens is you have a buildup of gas in the atmosphere within a home to such an extent that when it ignites, the whole thing explodes.
But it has to sort of fill up for a while.
It has to be leaking for quite a while before there's so much of the fumes in the air that it can actually ignite.
How this happened in a hotel lobby, which I think is what this building is, although I'm not entirely sure.
It is the Sandman Hotel.
Yeah, so it's a hotel lobby.
I guess we'll just have to wait for more information to come out.
I won't speculate too much on this, but it's a massive explosion.
You see windows knocked out, the second floor, the whole front facade exploded.
It reminds me, you know, my immediate reaction is the Just think about the explosion that took place in Nashville where the whole downtown was blown up and it just sort of, that story just sort of went away.
That was blamed on somebody blowing up their RV. So we'll see.
We'll see once this investigation takes place.
What a very strange occurrence from the amount of destruction you can see in the videos and photos.
Sort of a surprise that nobody died from this, at least it hasn't been reported yet.
One person has been reported in critical condition and ten others in the hospital.
So there you go. That just broke minutes ago, so we don't have too much more information on that, but we'll bring it to you as we get it.
Again, I'm just a little bit suspicious from the outset.
That a busy hotel lobby could fill up with gas without anybody noticing to the extent that it leads to this massive sudden explosion.
Very strange.
Very strange stuff.
And of course, just the way I read news now, having been a part of Infowars for so long and just having a critical eye anyway, it's like, all right.
We don't know. Nothing can be assumed here.
What we know is what we see.
There was an explosion at a Fort Worth hotel.
That's all we really know. Could it have been gas?
Yeah, that's an option. But there's been no evidence to suggest it, so we can kind of disregard any claims about the cause of this.
All we know is that there was an explosion.
And we can speculate as to what might have been the cause of it.
And even if it is, does turn out to be a gas explosion, just pure mismanagement of the infrastructure there,
whatever it may be, it still seems to point to an overall trend
that we've reported here, which is just the competency crisis.
And again, we don't know whether, I don't know whether I'm seeing more stuff now
because of sort of confirmation bias, Maybe I'm looking for it more, but not seeing it as much.
Or so I am seeing it more because I'm looking for it.
Or whether there really is an increase in these types of occurrences which aren't directly related to one another.
In the sense that it's not one crime group going around causing explosions here and train derailments there.
But it is part of an overall process that America seems to be going through where we can't keep up our infrastructure.
A report just came out saying something that 90-95% of the bridges in America are overdue for replacement.
I don't know if the crew can find that.
It was a story this weekend.
You know, an official accounting of all of the bridges and infrastructure in America.
And something like 90% of the bridges are sort of beyond their expiration.
They should have been replaced before now, but need to be replaced.
And whether it's the train derailments.
And again, you know, last year, it sort of started with the East Palestine, Ohio derailment.
That was the big one where everybody started paying attention.
But it was like every day they were trained around.
And it's like, are we just... Does this just happen all the time?
We don't notice it now that we're looking for it?
We're seeing this problem now?
But really it's no different than it always was?
Or is there an increase in train derailments?
And I guess unless you actually get into the details on all this.
So here it is. Report card for America's infrastructure.
Overview of bridges. There are more than 617,000 bridges across the United States.
Currently 42% of all bridges are at least 50 years old.
And 7.5% of the nation's bridges are considered structurally deficient, meaning they're in poor condition.
178 million trips are taken across these structurally deficient bridges every day.
And it just goes on and on and on.
And I'm wondering where that 80% is.
We need to increase spending on bridge rehabilitation from $14.4 billion.
One in three bridges in America needs repair or replacement.
That's not good. It's not good.
And so there's so many things that are...
Here, did we find it?
222,000 spans need repair, including 76,600 bridges that should be replaced.
42,000 are rated in poor condition and classified as structurally deficient.
42,000 bridges in America.
But hey, Ukraine and Israel need our billions, right?
We've got wars to wage.
Who's got time to keep up our infrastructure?
And I've said forever, since before I even worked in before, there's not going to be a collapse in the generally understood sense.
Let me caveat that.
That might happen. There might be a sunspot that wipes out electronics.
There might be an EMP attack that destroys everything.
There might be a fake cyber attack that takes down the financial institutions and destroys the banking system and shuts down.
That could happen. It could.
But that's always a possibility.
What is much, much more likely is we are probably about 25% through the collapse that will continue indefinitely for decades.
And you can point to a place like South Africa where this has taken place.
Where by deviating from the norm of a meritocracy and just the government doing what it's supposed to do in terms of keeping people safe and keeping the infrastructure safe.
From collapsing and killing everybody.
All of that is less important than social objectives and projects and policies that are there to serve certain groups for their personal enrichment.
And slowly but surely, the bridges will wear down.
The roads will wear down.
When you go to get on a plane, it's just going to be that much more dangerous, just more close calls, more planes literally falling apart in midair like happened with the Air Alaska plane.
This is the collapse.
This is what it looks like.
We are in it right now.
And we're going to see more stuff like this gas explosion in Fort Worth where it's just...
Not everything's being taken care of.
Not everything is up to snuff.
Somebody's dropping the ball here, covering themselves there.
And you might not be able to directly connect it, but there is a connection between all of these,
and it's the collapse that we're going through.

We are in the collapse.
It's just happening slowly.
It's just not happening all at once.
This isn't a 24-hour collapse.
It may be a 24-year collapse.
And if nothing's done to reverse this trend, the collapse itself is inevitable.
We still have a lot to talk about in this last hour of The War Room.
I'm going to open up phone lines for your calls as well.
Go ahead and do that right now. The number to dial if you want to call in is 1-877-789-2539.
That's 1-877-789-2539.
Just since we're on the topic of the collapse, here's just a couple examples.
First, and we'll relate this to some of the other goings on in the military world, including the failure of the defense secretary to let anybody know he was in the hospital for four days.
Even his deputy was unaware and was on vacation at the time.
We'll talk about an interesting twist in that case.
I know a lot of people are covering it and saying, yeah, this represents the incompetence that's going on.
It represents the haphazard manner that the Biden administration conducts itself.
But there's another important aspect to consider with this in that we're going to look at some of the Some of the things that took place while our defense secretary was out of commission and asked who it was that gave those orders, if the person who legally should be giving those orders was incapacitated, who is the one directing our attacks against Well, things like militia leaders in Iraq.
Well, we'll get into that, and this sort of ties into it.
Minuteman III missiles are too old to upgrade anymore, STRATCOM chief says.
The aging Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles that have formed the land-based leg of the nation's nuclear deterrent triad for half a century can no longer be upgraded and require costly replacements, Admiral Charles Richard, head of U.S. Strategic Command, said Tuesday.
He said, And they also say that we don't even know how it works anymore.
It's very strange. He says we can't do it at all.
The thing is so old that in some cases the drawings don't exist anymore to guide upgrades, Richard said in a Zoom conference sponsored by Defense Writers Group, where the drawings do exist.
So they don't have the blueprint drawing technical schematics for these missiles.
They don't even have the plans anymore.
So they can't work off the plans to upgrade these things.
They say where the drawings do exist, they're like six generations behind the industry standard, he said, adding that there's also no technicians who fully understand them.
They're not alive anymore.
Quote, they're not alive anymore.
So we have the triad of nuclear deterrent.
One of the main legs of that is our intercontinental land-based launching systems for nuclear warheads.
And the head of US Strategic Command, Admiral Charles Richard, is saying there's nobody even alive that understands the engineering behind these missiles.
This is crazy and extremely dangerous.
Extremely bizarre that this is the case, but I believe it.
But how's that for collapse?
How's that for collapse?
That we are... Trusting our national security to systems, the people running it don't even understand how they work.
Sort of reminds you of the colonial pipeline shutdown that took place when there was a cyber attack.
May have come from inside the house, right?
May have been an inside job.
We never actually got to the bottom of that.
Sort of swept under the rug.
But you remember, there was a very easy fix to repair the colonial pipeline.
just nobody knew how to do it.
The physical capability of doing these things without the assistance of a computer,
nobody had the knowledge anymore.
And so gas prices exploded, it was a major crisis, so we couldn't get this pipeline back online,
but it would have been extremely easy if it had been 50 years ago,
because the people that built it could just go in and manually do it,
but nobody had that knowledge anymore.
So we are like living in a civilization where we're operating technology
without even understanding how it works.
Like it's some sort of weird spell that we're casting, we don't understand the science behind it.

♪♪ The war room with Harrison Smith is where the shields of truth are forged in the fires of inquiry.
harrison smith
Welcome back, folks. Before we get to your call, it's just to finish up.
What better thing to point to than the airlines?
Something that we've been covering for the last year or more, the number of near misses that have occurred at airports in the United States Is almost unimaginable.
I mean, massively up over the last year.
Instances that hardly get reported outside of the local area where they occur.
Not a lot has been reported on in the fact that this is a trend, a nationwide trend that's taking place.
Where you've got pilots making split-second decisions to Do stuff in contradiction to what they're being told by the tower, right?
The tower says you're clear to land.
And then the pilot at the last second sees that another plane is taxiing onto the runway having also been cleared to use it to take off and has to pull up and narrowly avoids a catastrophic disaster.
And this has been going on for a while to the extent that the FAA had an emergency meeting to address this a few months ago.
It's just another symptom of the competency crisis, the inability for us to operate the systems, the legacy systems that we've inherited, and not by accident, right? Not because people are just dumber now or...
Anything like that. It is directly tied to the drive for diversity, for ESG, and we got into this a little bit, but BlackRock plans to lay off 600 employees.
About 3% of its global workforce is being laid off, and it's almost entirely in the ESG program, which never should have even gotten off the ground in the first place.
I mean, you're giving somebody your hard-earned money, and they're saying, okay, we're going to invest this in companies That have the highest percentage of gay people on the board.
It's like, what are you talking about?
Shouldn't you be investing based on returns, profitability, things that actually matter?
No. They're gonna direct their investment dollars based on the ethnic or gender composition Of the board of a company.
It's absurd. It's ridiculous.
But it also means that companies are then massively incentivized not to hire the best people, but to hire people who are in line with the ESG desire of so-called diversity.
And so you're going to be hiring or promoting people that aren't qualified for the job.
It's pretty obvious. And you can almost I mean, it's like time and time again you can do this where there's some article like this one.
Boeing CEO pledges a 20% increase in black employees.
And this was from, I think, maybe two years ago, something like that.
And directly correlate it to Boeing planes falling out of the sky, Boeing planes falling apart in midair, as just happened over the last weekend.
And it sort of happens over and over again.
And the reason that we need to talk about this and shouldn't feel shy about talking about this is because they're the ones who are celebrating these changes.
They're the ones who are saying, look how great it is that we fired all the white guys and hired all non-white guys.
Aren't we amazing? Aren't we great?
Look at how virtuous we are.
And then everything gets worse.
So they're the ones celebrating it.
They're the ones making a big deal out of the ethnic composition of who they're hiring.
So when it turns out that everything gets worse, we need to talk about it.
We need to bring it up and discuss it.
And it's not even to say that white guys are the best and everybody else is inferior.
The point is, if you're hiring for anything other than merit, You're setting yourself up for failure.
There was a bridge collapse, a pedestrian bridge collapse in Florida a couple years ago, maybe two or three years ago.
I think it was in 2020. It was a big celebration.
We're going to open this new bridge.
And the company that built the bridge...
Their whole thing was that they had women engineers.
They wrote article after article, had all these things published about how diverse and female-led their engineering company was, and then the bridge collapses.
Or you can look at Houston, where you had the entire crop of county-level judges, where majority old white dudes had been in those positions for years and had been fine, and then Sort of as a long tail effect of the push to try to oust Ted Cruz and get Beto O'Rourke arrested.
You had a huge push for turnout in Houston of minority groups.
And they elected nothing but black women to be judges.
And there are all these articles saying, isn't this wonderful?
Isn't this great? Finally, Houston elected 20 black female judges.
What a victory this was.
Followed like two years later by like crime out of control in Houston, criminals running rampant, everybody's getting let out, everybody's getting destroyed.
And again, it's not us sitting here going, it's because you hired black women.
But it's like if you're going to sit there and celebrate a push for diversity, then you have to back that up with a positive outcome.
And if the outcome is hugely negative, then you need to eat crow.
You need to sort of understand that it's your choice to hire based on gender and race that
led us to this point.
And so Boeing has been like one of the primary companies that has been extremely outspoken
about their drive for diversity.
And now they're having planes quite literally fall apart in midair.
And we have a video of this, too.
We can play it. Clip number four as B-roll.
It's from inside the Alaska Airlines flight as the door popped off mid-flight.
And there's a huge gaping hole in the side of the fuselage as they make an emergency landing.
I mean... What?
The plane fell apart?
The door just fell off in midair?
Yeah, the door just fell off in midair.
And actually they knew about this.
FAA orders 737 MAX jets to be grounded following Alaska Airlines blowout.
Boeing stocks have plummeted after they grounded the 737 MAX plane.
But also before that, Boeing MAX 9 plane had been barred from long flights over the water.
Alaska Airlines restricted the use of the plane, which lost part of its fuselage on Friday because of a warning light that went off on previous flights.
An Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 jet lost a chunk of its fuselage shortly after takeoff.
The crew cited a midair pressure problem.
But apparently they'd been warned about this.
There was a warning light that went off.
It went off during three recent flights.
Jennifer Homendy, the board's chairwoman, said it was too soon to say whether the issue had played a role in the Friday incident, which led to the grounding of 171 Boeing 737 MAX 9 planes in the United States.
It's certainly a concern, and it's one we want to dig into, Ms.
Homendy said at the news conference in Portland, Oregon.
Yeah, it's a bit of a concern.
It's a bit of a concern when part of your plane just falls off in midair.
You might want to look into that.
I agree. She said Alaska Airlines maintenance workers have been instructed to determine why the warning light had repeatedly gone off, but the work was not done before the flight on Friday.
Instead, Ms. Homendy said, workers reset the system and the plane was put back into service, though the airline restricted it from being used on flights to destinations like Hawaii.
So you know, if you were on this flight, then you've been directly affected by the competency
crisis as incompetent and unqualified people are put into extremely important positions where your
safety and life may hang in the balance of their ability to deal with emergency situations that
they may not be qualified for. But even if you weren't directly influenced by this, if you were
flying somewhere this week and were delayed because there weren't enough planes in the air because
171 of them had to be grounded because of this mistake, well then your life has just become that
much more inconvenient because of this process. So whether it's the intercontinental missile
systems that we apparently don't understand and don't even have the
schematics so that we could improve and make changes.
Or whether it's airlines that are hiring not based on merit, but are hyper concerned on increasing the number of black people they have working for them.
And as a result, you have airplanes either narrowly missing each other or literally falling apart in midair.
It's the competency crisis.
What are you supposed to say? We can fix this.
We can just go back to the way it was before and everything would be fine.
Alright, welcome back folks. We're going to go out to your phone calls this segment.

With that, we go out to your phone calls. Let's talk to the people who want to talk about the debate.
Greg in California wants to talk about the debate from Saturday night.
Thank you for calling in, Greg.
You're on the air. Hey, Harrison.
greg in california
Good job, as always. Before I get to my point briefly, you used to want to, if you were a coach passenger, sit next to an emergency exit for the additional legroom.
And having been a pilot, not a commercial pilot, but I've talked to many and I know many, it boggles my mind how an airplane manufactured or the manufacturer of an airplane that has ETOPS certified engines, ETOPS meaning extended trans-oceanic operations, etc.
How all of that would go into that airplane, yet the airframe is unworthy for that mission.
That boggles my mind.
I don't know.
I'm almost thinking it goes beyond incompetence.
It's almost like it's intended.
harrison smith
Well, to me it seems like a cover-up type of thing where it's like they know they should ground the plane, right?
They know there's a problem. They know there's a warning light.
But they go, ah, if we do that, then we're going to have to cancel this flight and that's going to cost us some money.
Then I'm going to look really bad because, you know, I can't make these flights happen and we're going to lose money on that.
So we'll just cover it up and maybe just push off the problem to the next crew that has to handle it.
It reeks to me of self-preservation of whoever was in charge of this trying to just, I mean, literally slap tape on it.
I was on a flight. They took us off and went, oh, there's a problem with the windshield.
We can't fly it. And then they come out with this, they call it flight tape, and they're literally taping our plane together before we get on.
And that happened to me last year.
So it's like... These little patches, these little fixes for like, oh, we'll just fix it so we can get this flight done.
I think it's that compounded.
You have different iterations of people all sort of just do the patch and we don't want to stop the flight, so just do what you have to to get it in the air, and then it culminates in this disaster.
So yeah, troubling stuff, man.
greg in california
Right. That speed tape is actually used quite a bit.
Right. It's just unnerving when you see it unravel.
Exactly. Getting back to the point, the debate with Dustbunny, I kind of think that he's an intel plant, and there are several reasons why I believe that.
One is he talks with machine gun speed bullet points as if he's in a race with the Gilmore Girls to finish a sentence.
And that's a known capturing type of thing.
The other thing, I could not believe what he told Who is the reporter down in Brazil again?
harrison smith
Greenwald. Glenn Greenwald.
greg in california
Glenn, yeah.
I could not believe that he told him, what are you doing reporting on things that happened in the past?
If you're a responsible reporter, you're reporting on what's going on now, okay?
And then some of the other stuff, which Owen brought up, that he just pulled out of thin air, like when Alex asked, Were there any weapons there?
They go, oh yeah, there were.
There were two guys with ARs outside of the perimeter, and then there was a guy with a pistol on the Capitol steps.
I never heard of that.
Did you ever hear of those three people?
harrison smith
No, I think they would have made a big deal out of that if that had happened.
greg in california
Exactly. I mean, those people would have been skewered.
unidentified
So, there's...
greg in california
These are signs of people, I believe operatives, who intend to completely try to reprogram us, to brainwash us, reprogram us, whatever.
And I'm 95% sure that Dust Bunny is an operative.
I'm 200% sure that if he is one, He and his handler, I would never trust to babysit my kids.
harrison smith
I wouldn't either.
You know, I don't think he's an operative.
I get how you would get that impression.
I think, you know, Owen pointed out it's arrogance and ignorance.
And I actually have personal experience with this.
And let's just be clear, if you don't know who Destiny is, Ignorance is kind of his thing, actually.
Recently, there's been a bunch of videos going around where he can't tell Israel from Turkey on a map.
He doesn't know where anything is.
He thought that Kevin McCarthy was Joseph McCarthy at some point, where he doesn't know the difference between these.
He doesn't really know that much stuff, but he's extremely arrogant.
I actually debated destiny.
It's the only debate I've ever done.
We did it live at Ethan Ralph's Killstream bowling event a couple years ago.
And it was about globalism, and I was arguing against globalism, and I was trying to explain to Destiny that the World Economic Forum exists.
There are these people that are out there that are trying to create a one-world government, and they talk about it, and they explain it.
And he just never heard of that.
He just didn't think that was real and was just like, oh, you're making that up.
And it was like, dude, there's videos.
This is public. They publish their meeting notes.
Like, this is just what's happening.
But he had no idea and he refused to acknowledge that that was a thing and just pretended like it didn't exist.
And that's the way he does it.
That's the way he operates. If he doesn't know it exists, he pretends it doesn't.
And he moves on. Alright, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
We're going to go out to your phone calls.
Once again, I still have a lot to cover.
I'm going to have to save some of this for tomorrow.
I will be back here on the War Room tomorrow and all the way through Thursday, and then I'll be back on American Journal on Friday.
But we'll just cover this quickly because I know that Chase did an ex-exclusive on this.
You can find at Chase Geiser.
And that is the mysterious and very concerning hospital stay of Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.
NBC News has the story.
Pentagon waited three days to inform White House that the defense secretary was hospitalized in the ICU. Noting that amid tensions in the Middle East, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was hospitalized, including spending four days in an intensive care unit, according to two senior administration officials.
From Intel Schizo, at Schizo Intel on Twitter, he actually did a pretty thorough timeline of this.
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was notified on the 2nd of January, but didn't notify anybody else.
I believe it was the January 1st that he went in for hospitalization.
Lloyd Austin. The next day, the Joint Chiefs of Staff was notified.
The President was not notified until the 4th of January.
The National Security Advisor was notified on the 4th of January as well, as was the NSC, National Security Council, notified on the 4th.
Deputy Secretary of Defense was on vacation in Puerto Rico and was handed, quote, some responsibilities of the Secretary of Defense on the 2nd of January, but was not notified until the 4th.
Okay? So, we just didn't have a defense secretary for two days.
That's disturbing. Deputy under Secretary of Defense for Policy Baker, currently acting under Secretary No.
3 job in the Pentagon, was filling in for the Secretary of Defense at the office, not knowing that he was in the hospital and was actually told he was just working from home.
The Secretary of the Navy wasn't notified until the next day on the 5th of January, as was the Secretary of the Army and the Secretary of the Air Force, so they weren't notified about the Defense Secretary being incapacitated and in the ICU. For four days, the Secretary of Defense Chief of Staff, Kelly Magusman, was unable to make notifications before then due to illness.
So you just get a sense of incompetence and lack of just ability and communication.
And he wasn't notified at all.
And the Gateway Pundit has the expansion on this.
Secretary, hospital, stay.
Story gets worse. Secretary of Defense Austin remained in Walter Reed ICU to protect his privacy after he no longer needed to be there.
Blames chief of staff illness for delay in notifying Biden.
So this has been a pretty big scandal.
And it comes at a time of extremely concerning concern.
Military activities around the world, from Ukraine to, of course, the Middle East, especially in context of our men in uniform in Iraq.
Vox.com has a story behind Iraq's call to remove US-led forces.
And for the last couple of weeks, the parliament and the government of Iraq has talked about removing American forces from the state.
There are about 900 US-led coalition forces in the country, and they're saying that there's
no justification for its existence, and that the threat to the Islamic State or ISIS has
ended, so they don't need to be there anymore.
Al-Sudani, the prime minister of Iraq, announced he would put together a bilateral committee,
which include members of the coalition forces charged with ending their presence in the
country.
Reuters reported on Friday.
So at this time where our soldiers are under attack in the Middle East, and that the prime
minister of Iraq is talking about completely kicking us out of the country, whether we
like it or not.
You have a major attack against Iraq.
From almonitor at al-monitor.com.
What we know about the U.S. strike that killed Iraqi militia leader in Baghdad, the U.S. assassination of senior Harakat al-Nujaba commander threatened to rekindle opposition to the presence of American troops among factions in Baghdad.
The U.S. military killed a senior Iraqi militia leader on Thursday in response to a spate of attacks on U.S. troops in that country, threatening to further fuel a simmering regional conflict already exacerbated by Israel's war in the Gaza Strip.
It was this Iran-backed Iraqi militia.
It's basically Hezbollah of Iraq.
And it is formally a part of the security forces of the Iraqi government.
So the offices of Iraqi Prime Minister al-Sudani blamed the U.S.-led coalitions for the strike, slamming it as an unprovoked attack on an Iraqi security body, saying it violated the existing agreement between Washington and Baghdad.
This is kind of a big deal, kind of a major escalation.
The person who was killed was known as Abu Takwa.
He was a senior military commander in the Iraq linked, Iran linked Iraqi militia, Hezbollah
al-Nujaba, which formed the 12th Brigade of the Popular Mobilization Forces, PMF.
This happened last Thursday, which I believe was the 3rd or 4th of January.
The response to this has been pretty severe from Iraq.
The assassination has been met with fury across the political spectrum in Iraq, with many
calling for the US troops to be expelled from the country.
Prime Minister Soudani swiftly condemned the strike as a dangerous escalation in assault,
and his office has since issued a statement affirming that his government is working to
set a deadline to permanently end the presence of international coalition forces in Iraq.
All of this is to say, who gave the order?
Who gave the order?
Who gave approval for this attack to take out a senior leader of an Iraqi official governmental
militia?
.
Because it wasn't Secretary of Defense Austin.
He was in the hospital.
It wasn't his undersecretary.
She was in Puerto Rico.
Didn't know what the hell was going on.
So who gave approval for this attack?
Had it been approved earlier by him and then just now occurred?
Or was this a decision made by somebody without the authority to make such a decision?
And is our foreign policy and the very lives of our soldiers in places like Iraq being put into a threatening position, a threatened position?
Now they're under more intense pressure than ever before with the Iraqi government sort
of solidified as a consequence of this attack in their resolution to kick American forces
out of the country, which would be a major dynamic change in the setup of the Middle
East in general.
And of course, if they want to kick us out and we don't want to leave, then that means
we're at war in Iraq again.
And all this came about at a time when the Secretary of Defense was totally incapacitated.
Nobody in the White House or anybody else knew.
So who gave the order? That's what I want to know.
Who gave the order to take out this senior militia official, Abu Takwa, in the absence of legitimate chain of command?
I think that's a question worth asking.
Not just the sheer incompetence and haphazard...
Attitude that this administration has and the military seems to have at this point.
But who gave the order if it wasn't Secretary of Defense Austin?
Who approved this attack that caused such a disruption in our relations in the Middle East if the Secretary of Defense at the time was not capable of giving orders?
I think that's a question worth asking.
And I'd like to know who it is that he's even giving orders in America.
I think we all know it's not Joe Biden.
I don't think it's anybody we voted for.
I think that's pretty clear. It might not even be the people that we think are the ones in charge, the appointees.
I don't know if anybody, like, really thinking about this, really trying to understand what the hell's going on here, It seems at this point like the American military is rogue.
I mean, it's not under control of our politicians.
Meaning it's not under control of the American people.
Meaning it's not serving the American people at all.
It certainly is not looking out for our best interests.
And we don't even know who it is that's controlling them at this point.
Our military, for all intents and purposes...
Is being directed by unelected, bureaucratic, faceless officials behind the scenes?
We don't know their name.
We don't know their intentions.
We don't know why they're doing what they're doing.
The people who are legitimately in charge are bad enough already, but they're incapacitated, not even giving orders.
Certainly not the people we voted for.
It might not be the people who were appointed by the people we voted for.
I think the American military is off the reservation.
And at this point, a completely rogue military organization.
Alright folks, directly out to your phone calls here in this final segment of The War Room, we go to Bart in Georgia, who's been on the longest.
Thank you for holding, Bart.
You're on the air about the Epstein Island graves, that report by Greg Reese.
You can find it now at band.video.
unidentified
Bart, what's your take on this? Yeah, I was listening to Alex going to this earlier today and everything, and I agree with them 100%.
They're not burying bodies.
They're moving bodies.
And I just have one solemn question left.
Where are the bodies?
harrison smith
That's a very good question.
I mean, that's the beauty of doing things on a remote island.
You do things without anybody watching.
And we showed some of the...
Drone footage earlier from Rusty Shackelford, and you can see things on the island.
Everybody knows the temple.
One thing that concerns me about the island is they have this big field that's surrounded by barrier mounds, which...
Could be innocent, I guess.
I don't know why you would want a field surrounded by barriers unless you were doing something in that field that you didn't want people around you to be able to see, right?
They basically have a field that's surrounded by earthen walls on all four sides, which is...
Seems to me like a lovely place to hold a ceremony, if that's what you're into, without the prying eyes of your neighbors on neighboring islands.
Thanks for the call, Bart.
Let's go to Bandwagon in Arizona now.
You want to talk about the migrant invasion.
Thanks for calling in. Bandwagon, you're on the air.
unidentified
Bandwagon? That's right. Yep.
harrison smith
Go ahead. You hear that?
unidentified
Yep. P-M-D. That's what that is, and it's saving me from this cold weather.
But that's not what I called in for.
I called in because I wanted to talk to you, Harrison, for a while, so it was my first chance.
I got insane footage, O'Keefe style, at my channel in Rumble.
So my channel's name is Bandwagon, and I've been documenting Pima County just moving into people, using resources, public transportation and everything.
And tomorrow I'm going to be at the Board of Supervisors because they're asking for more funds to do all these illegal activities in Best Western and local hotels.
harrison smith
Okay, well, I'll check that out.
Bandwagon on Rumble.
So if I just search bandwagon, you'll pop up?
unidentified
Yeah. Yep, you'll see the bandwagon van and it'll come up.
Crazy footage. You know, I'm trying to put it out there, please.
harrison smith
Okay, do you have a Twitter account by any chance?
unidentified
Uh, at one bandwagon.
harrison smith
At one bandwagon?
unidentified
Yeah, the number one bandwagon.
Rob passed my employee.
I sent him all the time.
harrison smith
Okay, cool. Yeah, because I'd love to talk to you more about this, and X is just an easy way for us to communicate.
So, all right, we'll check that out.
And I encourage our audience to as well.
Bandwagon on Rumble, one bandwagon on Twitter.
And we'll stay in touch, and I'd love to see some exclusive footage that you get.
Thank you for the call, bandwagon.
Thank you for doing the on-the-ground work that we need people doing, going out there with your own camera and capturing what's actually happening so people can know, because if it's not on the media, people can Just literally don't know what's happening.
Next, we go to Hammer Hardy in Florida.
I think he's calling in about the debate on Saturday.
Go ahead, Hammer Hardy. You're on the air.
unidentified
Hey, Harrison. Thanks for taking my call.
Yeah, man, the one thing that really gets on my nerves with these leftists is when they say there's no evidence.
of um election rate when the most damning evidence the best example is arizona the the legislature i could go online right now and watch a five-hour hearing where the legislature went over all of the evidence that was uh provided from the audit that they had from the 2020 election over 11 000 ballots were confirmed to be illegitimate and if they hadn't have been added if they hadn't been counted In the 2020 election, Trump would have won. Now, the left is going to come back with saying, well, if that's true, how come somebody didn't do anything about it?
Well, they passed that over to the state attorney general.
He refused to file any charges against anybody.
So that's not evidence that something didn't happen.
That's like if a judge issues an arrest warrant, gives it to the police officer, gives it to the sheriff or whoever, and they say, okay, well, I'm just not going to arrest them.
That doesn't mean that the person is innocent.
That means that that person is derelict in their duty, and I'm so upset right now.
harrison smith
Give me a second. No, no, I get exactly...
unidentified
That really gets on my nerves.
harrison smith
You know what? And that's just one instance of literally dozens.
And of course what they always say is, they'll say, well, all those court cases got thrown out, and we've been through it so many times.
The court cases were never thrown out based on the actual content of the court cases.
It was always based on some...
Absurd ruling or another where they say we don't have standing or just don't get into it.
But Trump has actually released a very thorough report.
And maybe we need to get into this.
Maybe we'll get into this tomorrow because it's so long.
It's not something you can just sort of mention.
But if we go to the dot cam here, it's called The Summary of Election Fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election in the Swing States.
It's 32 pages long, and it goes through Georgia.
It goes through Wisconsin.
It goes through Philadelphia and Pennsylvania.
And it just, I mean, it lists out like 30 bullet points in each one of these showing
the true scale of election fraud.
So we just saw the Georgia one.
Here's the Wisconsin one showing how it was manipulated and the election was fraudulent.
I mean, it goes through state by state, every single state, every single one of the swing
states that mysteriously went to Biden in the middle of the night.
And it lays out exactly how this was happening.
It's a 32-page report.
Trump has published it and I mean, you could maybe doubt a few of these things, even though
they're confirmed, even though this is all like the most highly researched events in
all of these states.
These are like the ones with the most evidence that you really can't question, but you could
maybe throw out one or two.
But there are literally hundreds of examples of voter fraud in every single one of these
states and Trump put out this 32 page report that maybe we'll have to maybe we'll have
to read through this tomorrow when we have more time.
But you're exactly right, Hammer Hardy.
And of course, once you understand that there was election fraud, it goes towards your understanding
of why people were pissed off on January 6th and why January 6th, the date was even chosen.
Why was the Congress even convening on January 6th?
What were they there to do?
If you can't answer that question, you don't know anything about January 6th at all.
The reason they were convening was to certify the vote.
The reason they certify vote...
I don't know if you need to be told this, is because they can also not certify the vote.
The reason you go to certify an election is because the option is there to not certify the election and to question the election and to demand investigations into the election.
That's what January 6th was all about.
So once you understand the election was in fact stolen, you understand that the people who were convening in Washington on January 6th were there for a legitimate concern that went unaddressed.
And understanding unravels from there.
Thanks for the call, Hammer, Hardy.
Let's go to Emmett in Washington.
You want to talk about write-in candidates on ballots?
Go ahead, Emmett, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hey, Harrison. I fully expect the Supreme Court is going to give us a favorable decision.
I know they just took up the case a couple days ago, and I've seen 27 states have filed amicus briefs.
I had this idea as soon as Colorado handed down their decision, the thought crossed my mind that is it really the end of the world?
Because even if Trump is taken off the ballot, what's to prevent us from writing in his name on our ballots anyway?
You know, it's something we need to look into more.
I'm not totally positive if all 50 states allow write-in candidates, but it's just food for thought.
And astonishingly enough, What really prompted me to call was, I believe it was one of the Krasenstein brothers that mentioned that possibility during the debate, and that's what confirmed it for me, that, hey, maybe there is something there, so something you guys can look into a little further and maybe validate or disprove for us.
harrison smith
Well, I actually did look into this when they first did it in Colorado, and it might be different in other states from the mechanism that they're using to get Trump off the ballot from Verify.com or VerifyThis.com.
No write-in ballots for Trump wouldn't count in the Colorado GOP primary.
Basically, the way that it eliminated him or kept him off the primary ballot basically said he wasn't allowed to You're just not allowed to vote for him.
Even as a write-in candidate, you're not allowed to count those votes.
So the answer is no, the Supreme Court ruling would not allow write-in votes for Trump in the state's GOP primary.
However, the ruling has been stayed pending a U.S. Supreme Court decision.
So it doesn't even really matter at this point because the Supreme Court has picked it up, and so he'll be on the primary ballot there in Colorado.
But the way that they barred him or disqualified him or whatever you want to say...
It meant that you couldn't write him in either.
And again, this is color of law stuff.
This is stuff they don't actually have the right to do or legal ability to do, but they're doing it under the color of law.
So yeah, it basically says that votes for him can't be counted even if they're write-in votes.
So it's not just removing him from the ballot.
It's removing him from the possibility of being elected.
So write-in ballots would not be a way around that.
It's a good question, but...
That is not an option with the way that they're doing this.
They've thought about this.
We have the stories at Zero Hedge. 27 states filed to oppose Colorado's disqualification of Trump under the 14th Amendment.
And we'll see where that goes.
I'll see you tomorrow, folks, here on The War Room.
