Ladies and gentlemen, it's Friday, December 6, 2024. This is the InfoWars War Room, live from the InfoWars World Headquarters in Austin, Texas.
We have some breaking news as we go live today.
Moments ago, in the Daniel Penny trial, prosecutors moved to dismiss top manslaughter charge against Daniel Penny after second notice of jury deadlock.
So the highest charge they were pushing for 15 years has been dismissed.
Now, they're going to be looking at other charges, but that charge has been dismissed.
They need to dismiss all the charges, but this is a good step in the right direction.
And it really just goes to show you, I would say, what's happening behind the scenes here with this jury.
There are at least people in the jury that see Daniel Penny was not the bad guy.
Daniel Penny does not belong in jail.
But then there were others that looked at Penny, maybe for his skin color, and said, no, we want him in jail.
But a deadlocked jury forces the highest manslaughter charge to be dropped.
If there are any other updates before the end of today, we will let you know.
But that will be a bit of a sigh of relief, though he is still likely to face other charges that they haven't dropped yet.
This case should be dismissed.
In fact, it already was dismissed before corrupt Alvin Bragg got involved.
And now here we are.
So we'll have some more information on that and how we got here.
But that is breaking right now.
You also have some other developments in the TikTok campaign.
Remember that story?
Well, there was a development there today.
You have Democrats finding all different ways to legalize the illegal immigrants.
And some of them are now requesting Joe Biden do just that before he leaves the White House.
And now Newsom Had a press conference yesterday with some interesting things, let's say.
He said some interesting things.
We'll play you some of those highlights.
You have a split in the Democrat Party right now, by the way.
You have what can only be described as the radical left, deep state, probably corrupt Democrats.
And then you have others that look at the Democrat Party and want to separate themselves, let's say.
They don't want to be involved in all the hatred.
They don't want to be involved in all of the lies and deception and corruption.
And so they're kind of separating themselves.
And I would, I do believe it will happen, but let's see.
But I would wonder if this might impact some of these confirmation hearings or how it will impact.
Because I see some of these things that senators are saying on the Democrat side, and I'm thinking, okay, well, if the Republicans won't back Hegseth, and we've got some updates on that today as well, if the Republicans won't back Hegseth, maybe there are some Democrats that will.
Just to kind of draw that line in the sand and say, hey, I'm not one of these radical Democrats.
I want to get the ball moving.
Trump won.
Let's give him his appointments.
I wasn't one of the crazies.
I think that that is likely to develop.
Oh, and we're going to have some fun with some guests today.
We're going to have some fun with the guests today.
MLB legend John Rocker joins us in the second hour.
And then geopolitical reporter Anya Parampil in the third hour.
And it's a Friday.
We haven't taken a call all week.
So we're going to open the phone lines for you as well.
44 days, 19 hours, and 53 minutes until Inauguration Day.
And you know the Democrats are going to have something special planned before that.
Maybe for January 6th.
Maybe Peter Hotez and all his little biological weapon freaks.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I mean vaccine pushers and big pharma shills.
They claim there's going to be a release of viruses on January 21st.
Oh my gosh.
Incredible.
The day after Trump's inaugurated, there's going to be a release of viruses.
Your alarm clock wakes you up in the morning to go to work or whatever you got to do.
And, you know, the viruses have an alarm clock set for January 21st to disrupt the Trump administration.
Totally normal stuff.
Totally normal stuff.
Alright.
We've got a great Friday show planned for you.
The breaking news right before we go live.
This has just broken.
Prosecutors moved to dismiss top manslaughter charge against Daniel Penny after second notice of jury deadlock.
The jury could not get a unanimous decision, and so the highest manslaughter charge has been dropped.
They were pushing for 15 years.
And now the jury is going to move on to the lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide, which too should also be dropped.
And I will explain why.
But unfortunately leftists are still attacking Daniel Penney.
Even though the witnesses that testified called him a hero, Explained what happened that day in detail as to why they consider him a hero.
And the DA prior to Alvin Bragg would not pursue these charges.
But Alvin Bragg wanted to.
I wonder why.
Could it be politically motivated?
Could it be racially motivated?
And so once again, Penny's fate will...
Sit in the hands of the jury.
I would say if they were deadlocked on this charge, I would guess they're likely going to be deadlocked on the lesser charge, and that will also end up being dropped or dismissed by the end of today.
Likely not, but perhaps next week.
But it's really...
A story of where do we go from here?
Do we enter this new age of civilization where you, the good guy, in any public situation, but let's go with the example of being on a subway.
You, the good guy, are sitting on the subway and you see a bad guy.
You see a guy acting erratically, dangerously, threatening people, maybe engaged in a violent crime.
But you, the good guy, know that Well, gee, if I step up, if I do something, I'm going to be the one that gets in trouble.
So instead of sticking up for maybe the elderly person that can't defend themselves, or instead of sticking up for maybe the woman that can't defend themselves, of course, you're all disarmed in New York City thanks to Democrats, you have to sit there and watch a vagrant.
You have to sit there and watch a deranged maniac harass, intimidate, abuse, Maybe even assault innocent people.
That is, if the precedent is set with Daniel Penny.
And of course, that's what the liberals want.
That's what the Democrats want.
They've created this environment.
They've created this culture.
And it certainly doesn't help that Daniel Penny's skin is white.
Because they don't like that either, do they?
No, they certainly don't want a white man standing up and being the good guy and being the hero.
Even though that's what one of the eyewitnesses had to say.
That's right.
He's a hero, said the passenger, who's lived in New York City for more than 50 years.
A retiree who witnessed Marine veteran Daniel Penney Choke an erratic homeless man on the train, called him a hero, and slammed District Attorney Alvin Bragg for prosecuting him.
The witness, who described herself as a woman of color, said it was wrong for Bragg to charge Penny with second-degree manslaughter.
Quote, it was self-defense, and I believe in my heart that he saved a lot of people that day that could have gotten hurt.
Jordan Neely was suffering from mental illness, stormed onto the F train at about 2.30 p.m., screaming and threatening passengers, the eyewitness said.
Quote, I'm sitting on a train reading my book, and all of a sudden I hear someone spewing this rhetoric.
He said, I don't care if I have to kill an F, I will.
I'll go to jail, I'll take a bullet.
Recalled the woman, the eyewitness, in her 60s.
So, obviously, Daniel Penny was not trying to kill anyone that day.
Much like the officers in the George Floyd case were not trying to kill him.
It's an unfortunate outcome of a bad situation where somebody who is deranged and out of their mind and on drugs and unhealthy...
Is out in public, behaving in an uncouth, unseemly manner.
And breaking the law.
And then here come the Democrats to glorify the lawbreaker.
Here come the Democrats to glorify the deranged person.
Threatening people.
Intimidating people.
Harassing people.
Even known for that type of behavior.
Specifically in the Neely Penny case.
And here come the Democrats to take a good man down.
Here come the Democrats to make an example of a good guy because they believe it will score them political points or race war points.
And so that's what they do.
So there won't be justice here until all the charges are dropped against Penny.
And if you're a woman out there and you ride the subway or public transportation or just like to walk alone sometimes, you're an elderly person, feel you can't defend yourself in some circumstances, you should be very interested in the outcome of this case.
Now, of course, this would never happen in a Republican district.
It would never happen there.
But the word will get out, and the word was already out.
Neely, who had a history of this type of behavior on the train, knew he could go on there and act in this manner because nothing ever happened to him.
Because people were scared.
Well now, the liberals in New York are up to their disgusting behavior again.
Disturbing Daniel Penny posters plastered across New York subway car as trial verdict looms.
And so you can see here, they have these stickers that they've posted over all of the ad space on the trains.
And it says, a man was lynched here.
This is so ridiculous.
And then it has the name Jordan Neely.
Again, the outcome for Neely is tragic.
No one is denying that.
But Jordan Neely is in public, on the train, acting erratically and harassing people, talking about how he'll kill, how he'll take a bullet.
According to eyewitnesses, he said he didn't care.
The eyewitnesses called Penny the hero.
They don't care.
Neely is their hero.
The outcome for Neely was tragic.
Why not use this moment to raise awareness for mental disorders?
Why not use this moment to raise awareness against drug abuse?
So that you don't have somebody like Neely who's clearly not in his right mind Roaming around in public, putting himself and others in danger.
No, instead, they take it further.
And they say he was lynched.
And they put these signs all over the subway trains.
They're disgusting people.
And this is why we can never have any real conversations.
And this is why we can never have any real solutions.
Because the left wing...
Of this country is broken.
It is broken.
And the Democrat Party, which represents it, takes advantage of their broken people and deceives them and tricks them and controls them and brainwashes them all for their vote.
So that they can stay in power.
And so instead of having a rational, civilized society that deals in common sense and reasoning that says this is a tragic outcome.
It's sad for Neely.
This was an unwell man.
Something should have been done to help him.
What can we do in the future to help people that are struggling like Neely?
But Penny was a hero that day, according to the eyewitnesses.
And unfortunately for Neely, this was probably long overdue that somebody step in and subdue him.
No, we can't have that conversation.
Instead, enters the radical left, enters the brainwashed, mentally ill left, and they say he was lynched.
So we can't have a real conversation.
We can't look for real solutions.
We have to sit here and deal in the world of nonsense.
By the way, I'm just...
You know, this is the type of people that we're talking about here.
I want to try to find this story in my stack of news.
Well, we don't need to go any further on that line of questioning.
But this is what we deal with with the radical left, and it's frustrating.
And I hope we don't have to deal with this much longer.
I hope that we can finally treat these radical left liberal progressives that have gyrating dance parties in the women's restroom where they invite men to stick it to Republican lawmakers who don't want men competing in women's sports, who don't want male genitalia in the women's bathroom.
By the way, they're out protesting at the Capitol yesterday.
Are they going to be arrested?
Were they arrested like me?
I'm standing quietly with a piece of tape over my mouth.
I get arrested.
They're out there screaming and shouting.
Here it is, clip 11. So why do we even have signs on bathrooms?
Somebody tell me.
Somebody answer this question for me.
I'm baffled.
Why do we have male or female or man or woman signs on bathrooms?
Can somebody tell me why?
I don't understand.
It's bigotry.
It's bigotry to have a sign that says man or woman bathroom, right?
So why do we have them?
Why have they been there forever?
Why are they always there?
Why is it the law to put them there?
So they send men into bathrooms at the Capitol.
They have people outside Congress men and women's offices screaming, shouting, bitching and complaining because a man can't go into the woman's bathroom.
Are they arrested?
No!
This is the insanity.
These are not serious people.
We should not take them seriously.
They want to act like children.
They need to be dealt with like children.
You're grounded.
You're going to be punished.
You're going to be disciplined.
But no, we sit here and we treat them like mentally ill people that you can't touch.
And that's because of this political correct game that they play.
You're a racist.
You're a homophobe.
You're a transphobe.
And so we're scared to do what actually needs to be done.
And so what happens?
Do you get a Jordan Neely on the subway train?
Or would you like to see what was captured on the subway train this morning?
Just decides to take out his male genitalia and take a pee right there on the train while it's moving.
Doesn't even get up!
Doesn't even bother to get up, doesn't even bother to go to a corner, nothing.
Just stays horizontal, taking a nap on the bench, and just takes a link.
And God forbid somebody step up and say something.
God forbid somebody decide to pick him up and toss him off the train.
God forbid!
Don't want to be a racist, don't want to be a bigot, don't want to be a lyncher.
And so that's what you get now.
When can we get back to civilized society?
When can we get back to dealing in common sense?
Rational, reasonable decision-making without having to deal with these petulant, petty children known as liberal progressives so that we can actually advance society and live in a first-world country again?
Because I'm sick and damn tired of it.
And guess what?
Most people are sick and damn tired of it.
And that's why the witnesses...
To the Neely-Penny incident are all siding with Penny.
But you get one or two racist jurors in there that hate white people, they're not going to let this thing go.
They're not going to give a not guilty verdict.
They got to get that white man.
It's their moment.
The Democrats have told them, this is your moment.
This is your moment of retribution.
The white man owes you.
The white man has kept you down.
This is your opportunity to stick it back to him.
So we can't advance.
We can't come together.
And we have to sit here in this retard land where you're in the Capitol today and there's men in the women's bathrooms with signs that say flush bathroom bigotry.
Oh, you mean like America and capitalism, the Bill of Rights, Constitution, 1776?
You mean that worked?
You mean that's good?
You mean everything?
So America's great now.
So these third world countries and communist countries, and by the way, all these countries that are receiving our money, billions of dollars we send to these countries, So that things won't be so horrific.
And they won't be homeless and poor and no infrastructure and hungry.
And we send them all this money in foreign aid and it's supposed to help them so the conditions aren't so horrific.
And then they still are.
Where does the money go?
unidentified
And then they come here and then they get more money.
Unfortunately, as you have identified, the next administration is going to come in and there's going to be chaos around immigration and mass deportation.
We've already seen it.
When President Trump was in office the first time, I can tell you the calls to my office and the chaos that he created around immigration and separating families.
And nobody was safe.
What I take is what I hear from this incoming administration.
You don't even do the DNA testing anymore at the border.
Disgusting.
These Democrats are just disgusting.
I can't believe we have to put up with this crap.
Then you have Newsom.
Gavin Newsom visits California-Mexico border for security announcement.
Security announcement.
More like anti-security announcement.
He's opening a new port of entry so that they can get as many more illegals into the country through California as possible because they're not getting in through Texas like they used to.
So now they all got to come in through California.
So Gavin Newsom is opening the new border entry port to make sure they can get in as quickly as possible.
And then he goes on to say at the press conference...
Because he's asked by the media.
He says, well, because he wants $25 million to Trump-proof California.
You know there were Trump voters in California, you scumbag.
You open borders scum.
And he wants $25 million from the state to Trump-proof California.
California.
But then he gets pressed on it today and he says, well, actually, we can't stop federal law enforcement from executing federal law.
Ooh!
That's right.
Oh, and so you see?
See, I'll give Newsome credit.
He's actually smart enough to know where to draw the line.
So he can still play to all the bleeding heart liberals.
He can still play to the radical left.
And he'll have the American psycho look on his face, which they're totally into that.
But then he's smart enough to know, I don't want to be the one on record talking about how we're going to stop deportations.
Like the crazies in Boston or Denver or Where you have mayors and council members coming out and saying, oh yeah, we'll make sure that they can't be deported.
We'll block them physically.
We'll go to jail for it.
So Newsom knows, oh, I'm drawing the line there.
So he admits, he says, well, if Trump sends federal agents in here to do deportations, there's nothing we can do.
But we can deny any assistance.
So Newsom is saying, we're not going to let California police, state police, local police, we're not going to let them, we're going to stop them from cooperating with ICE, cooperating with Border Patrol, or whoever is coming in to do the deportations.
And he's going to open up a new border port where he goes to do this press conference, and he's going to get as many illegals into the country as possible ahead of the inauguration.
That's their plan.
And now their logic on taxes is coming back to bite them.
Because they can't have it both ways.
Of course they can because the Democrat voter is stupid.
It's par for the course.
If you're a Democrat voter then you really don't have much logic and reasoning politically at this point.
Because the Democrats are the ones that raise taxes.
And then they argue when the economy gets worse and the cost of living goes up and the price of consumer goods go up and the price of energy goes up and groceries goes up, they call it price gouging.
But then when Trump wants to talk about tariffs, foreign countries, foreign companies, that's going to raise the prices.
So here's Gavin at that same press conference.
When Democrats tax you, it doesn't hurt the economy.
That's someone else's fault.
But if Trump does tariffs, that's gonna hurt the economy.
That's Trump's fault.
unidentified
That's the new logic for Democrats like Gavin Newsom and Clip 10. Misunderstanding the public has in terms of how this tariff will impact their daily lives.
I thought the price of oil going up was a good thing.
We want to price people out.
We don't like the carbon emissions.
We're against fossil fuels.
We're against combustion engines, which they're trying to make illegal in California.
So these are the same people that want to price you out of oil.
These are the same people that want to get rid of oil altogether.
But now he's saying Trump is going to raise the cost of oil.
Which is what they've done, of course, when Trump was in office, what was it?
Gas prices were in the twos, in the ones?
Oh, but now it's Trump that's going to raise the price of oil, even though they're the ones that regulate it, they're the ones that tax it, they're the ones that want to make it illegal.
And you're just supposed to sit here and take it.
But it's the larger issue.
They're the ones that raise taxes, generally speaking.
They're the ones that promote new regulations, generally speaking.
They're the ones that cause the price of everything to go up with their economic policies.
But that logic doesn't apply.
That only applies to Trump.
No, no, no, no.
If Trump wants to have tariffs, that's going to cause the cost of oil to go up.
Not them.
If Trump enacts tariffs, that's going to cause the cost of groceries and goods to go up.
Not them.
No, never them.
If the Democrats raise taxes and the Democrats raise the prices, that's somebody else's fault.
Okay.
Okay.
Enough of that.
Well, they're really mad at Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.
Democrat Senator Chris Murphy says we should come after Elon Musk.
He's made his fortune off taxpayers.
Well, you know, he does.
I do think he has the most government contracts, so you can have a problem with that.
That's fine.
But he actually provides goods and services.
What do you do, Chris Murphy?
You have literally made your money off US taxpayers.
You literally get a check from US taxpayers.
And what do you provide?
And you're already going after Elon Musk.
And he really hates Doge.
Says it sounds like a con job.
Yeah, it's a con job to cut into the government.
The government's not the con job.
The government's spending, the bureaucracies, the waste, the studies, the trillions of dollars of debt.
That's not the con job.
Cutting into the government is the con job, according to Democrat Senator Chris Murphy.
The con job himself.
So you've had some response from senators and the Speaker of the House on the Hill after Ramoswamy and Musk visited yesterday.
You've heard what DOGE is all about, the Department of Government and Efficiency.
It's a new thing.
And this is a new day in Washington and a new day in America.
We have long lamented the size and scope of the government, that it has grown too large.
And let me be frank about this.
It's too big, it does too many things, and it does almost nothing well.
And the taxpayers deserve better.
They deserve a more responsive government, a more efficient government, one that is leaner and more focused on its primary objectives.
And that's the opportunity that we have here now.
We believe it's an historic moment for the country, and these two gentlemen are going to help navigate through this exciting new day.
Elon and Vivek don't need much of an introduction here in Congress for certain, and most of the American people know What they're capable of and what they've achieved.
Both of these gentlemen have run very successful organizations.
They're innovators and they're forward thinkers.
And so that's what we need right now.
And so what you're going to have today is first is a meeting that we'll have here with decision makers, key figures in the Republican House and Senate who are chairs of committees of jurisdiction who deal with the money and financing of government and the structure of government.
We'll have chairs of the new doge caucuses that have been set up in the Senate and the House.
And then after that, we'll proceed to the congressional auditorium where all of the Senate Republicans and House Republicans have been invited, and I think many of them will gather for this discussion.
So there won't be a lot of detail for the press today, and that's by design, because this is a brainstorming session.
It is the first, again, as I said, of a long series of meetings that will be held as we're laying the groundwork for the new year and the new Congress.
And you're going to see A lot of change around here and in Washington and the way things are run.
We need to make government more efficient.
And that is what this whole objective is.
It's what the Doge effort will be about.
And you're going to see a bicameral cooperation.
And it will be, by the way, bipartisan over the last 24 or 48 hours.
You've seen a number of our Democrat colleagues, both in the Senate and the House, who have said, you know what?
Sign me up.
I want to be a part of this as well.
So we welcome that.
It should be a bipartisan effort.
And I think we're going to do great things for the country.
And I'll show you one of those Democrats coming up.
Again, the biggest hope I have from the incoming administration, I do think hopefully we'll get some world peace, but it's going to be the Department of Government Efficiency.
And even though they need Congress to basically enact all the goals, all the agendas, the process is going to be fun.
Because all of this waste is going to be exposed one way or the other.
And then you're going to get to see who in Congress wants to continue the waste and then who in Congress is willing to cut the waste.
And it's not just going to be obvious waste, like people that don't show up for work or, you know, studies to see how drunk a shrimp can get on gin or, you know, whatever the hell they do.
You know, gay frogs banging one another.
unidentified
Are they more aroused if a red light is on or if a green light is on?
But it'll also be things that are way more consequential, like all the money that gets wasted in healthcare and insurance and all the money that gets wasted in foreign aid and foreign citizens and open borders, maybe even getting into the aid that goes out to foreign countries for their wars.
I mean, the process is going to be very important to witness.
I do think it'll all get exposed.
How much of it actually gets cut, that'll be a different story, but it'll be the senators and it'll be the members of the House that refuse to cut the government that will end up getting exposed and hopefully primaried.
Like a couple of people we're seeing today.
But here is Senator John Fetterman talking about supporting Doge in clip six.
unidentified
You see yourself ultimately working with folks like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy who will be heading...
He's been involved in very important parts of American society.
AI, SpaceX, and other kinds of things.
Yes, he's on a different team, but that doesn't make me an enemy.
I don't be automatically going to become a critic.
It's like, hey, he's made our economy and our nation better, and our politics are different, and I don't agree with some of the things that he might say, but that doesn't make him, like I said, an enemy.
You know, we're going to get into the confirmation process here.
And I think what's going to be interesting when you look at the numbers, it's going to take 50 votes to get Trump's nominees confirmed.
50 votes and Vance will push it over the edge.
So the rats of Murkowski, Collins, Thune and McConnell will be an issue.
But one Democrat can put it back up to 50.
Fetterman could be that Democrat.
And I suspect there might be a couple people on the left that might be willing to stick their nose out there and vote to confirm some of the more controversial Trump nominees.
Because again, I think what you see happening here is a divide in the Democrat Party.
You have the radical leftist ideologues that want to show the radical leftist liberal progressives that they're with them.
They're with the blue-haired pink pussy hat wearers.
They're with the trans men, women, the men going in the women's bathroom, playing in women's sports.
They hate white people.
You're going to see that wing get more hardened and go farther to the left.
And then you're going to see Democrats that aren't completely insane.
And they're going to say, I need to make sure I'm separate from them.
I need to make sure my voters in my state know I'm not with them.
Yes, I'm still a Democrat and I still have Democrat left wing values, but I'm not one of them.
And there's going to be different ways that they can do this.
When it comes to Doge, when it comes to voting on these nominations, when it comes to illegal immigrants and the deportations.
So I could see some Democrats or some on the left, there's a couple independents in the Senate, I could see them voting for Trump's nominees just to separate themselves from the radical left and say, hey, I'm not part of this.
I'm for moving things forward.
I'm for coming together on issues.
Trump won.
He has the mandate.
We go from there.
And now with Hegseth, it's a bit of a different story.
But when Tom Tillis has come out, it's being reported everywhere, he's threatening to stop any nominee that does not support Ukraine.
I believe that's a direct call out to Hegseth, is what I believe.
Maybe Tulsi Gabbard and others as well.
But imagine that.
It's not America.
Tom Tillis is not saying, hey, if there's somebody that doesn't support America, I won't confirm them.
It's Ukraine!
Why does that dirtbag care so much about Ukraine?
What kind of bags does he have coming in that make him support Ukraine?
But the numbers for Hegseth are just not there right now.
Senate GOP sees Hegseth nomination as likely doomed.
Key GOP senator says she's not ready to support Hegseth for defense secretary.
That's Joni Ernst.
But Hegseth is going all the way.
He says, we're fighting all the way.
Thanking Jesus Christ and tells GOP senators he's a changed man.
Well, he shouldn't even have to respond to this crap.
Oh, a drinking problem.
Oh, women problems.
Just shut up.
Screw these people, man.
I'm so sick and tired of it.
We shouldn't be on the defense.
They should.
But I don't think he has the votes right now.
But he's going through it in any way.
And I say good for him.
I say good for him.
Go through the confirmation process.
They're going to attack him, ridicule him, embarrass him.
Maybe they vote for him, maybe they don't.
But he won't be the one on trial.
Hexit will not be the one that gets judged here.
It will be the senators, specifically in the Republican Party.
Because you know who's up for re-election in 2026?
Tom Tillis.
If you don't confirm Trump's nominees, you're not getting re-elected, Jack.
All right, coming up shortly is MLB legend John Rocker, and now he's becoming a bit of a social media legend as well.
And, of course, it's, you know, it's Christmas time, and the White House is celebrating Christmas.
They've officially lit the Christmas tree.
I only wish, I only wish I could have been there with a holiday sweater, with a Christmas sweater from the AlexJonesStore.com.
It's my only regret, really, right now.
Whether it was the Bad Santa sweater or the Nakatomi Plaza sweater.
Any of the Christmas sweaters we have available for you right now at thealexjonesstore.com.
Or, you know, maybe a Trump One hoodie would have been nice for the Christmas tree lighting there.
Yes, there is a couple new releases at thealexjonesstore.com.
A new limited edition coin, which will be, I'm guessing, sold out definitely by the end of next week.
Maybe by the time I'm back on air Monday, the limited edition, the answer to 1984 is 1776 coin limited edition.
Merry Christmas from Joe Biden in the White House!
Hey!
Sounds great, Joe!
Glad we got the tree lit.
Glad we're saying Merry Christmas again.
Really appreciate that.
John Rocker coming up next.
unidentified
Say something homophobic or racist like in your past.
Come out!
If you were a man, I would knock your teeth out.
While Rockers' remarks on our show back in November may have outraged Mets fans, it was the comments he made to Sports Illustrated writer Jeff Perlman that caused a national outcry.
Quote, imagine having to take the number seven train to the ballpark, looking like you're riding through Beirut next to some kid with purple hair.
It's depressing.
And about New York City itself, Rocker said, the biggest thing I don't like about New York are the foreigners.
John Rocker, if you watched Major League Baseball in the late 90s, then you certainly remember the legendary epic run of John Rocker, his spat with New York City, the boo birds, the middle fingers, all of it.
Culminating to this moment, if you can believe that.
He's now become a bit of a social media phenomenon on X. Certainly not one to withhold any opinions, and so we're looking forward to hearing all of them now.
You know, everybody's like, oh, I can't wait till I retire.
I can't wait till I retire.
You can only finish and play golf so much.
At some point in time, you're like, I just, there's something else to do.
And the reason I got off ex-Twitter, whatever you want to call it, when I got invited by CBS to be on Survivor, I guess about 10 years ago, they put you through your paces.
I mean, even though they invited me to be on the show, I mean, it was a multi, multi, multi-round interview.
I knew they were scrubbing all my social media.
And one of my favorite things to do, which I don't do as much if I think of maybe a short degree matured a little bit.
Back in 12 and 13, I would like to sit outside most evenings, have a cocktail, have a cigar, get a little tipsy, and just fuck with people on social media and say some ridiculous shit.
And when CBS, obviously the liberal side of things, CBS, I'm like, if they ever get a hold of my Twitter page and see some of that shit, I will get a big fat uninvite.
And they were paying me a decent bit of money to be on the show.
I'm like, no.
I want that to happen.
So we got off Twitter back there in 2014 for fear of CBS looking at some of the trash I've been talking to certain individuals on social media and just never thought to get back on it.
And a few months ago, I'm like, give that a shot.
Let's get back and do that and entertain myself again.
That was an entirely whole lot of not fun right there.
One staff, people always ask me to survive a reel.
I've done a number of reality TV shows that had pros and joes, and I dated someone that did several of the MTV-made episodes.
I've been on set personally as well as watching the filming of reality TV, and it's staged.
I mean, it's all but scripted.
I assume Survivor would be the same thing.
There's got to be something out there.
I'm watching.
I've never really seen the show when I got invited to be on there.
And I'm watching like, yeah, the chicks don't have hairy armpits.
They don't have hairy legs.
There's got to be a wash-up room somewhere.
It can't be that bad.
I was on there for 11 days.
Lost 21 pounds in 11 days.
A big suck on that one.
I mean, whatever's going on around your world, if you're losing two pounds a day just by simply not eating, Nothing else is going to be going too good for you.
When we played the Mets or Yankees, we always stayed at the Grand Hyatt above Grand Central, and I took the four to Yankee not as much, but I took the seven to Deshaies at least once or twice every trip in town, so I was very familiar with that subway ride and just riding past the It was just,
yeah, that's just the impression I got.
And someone asked me, you know, what I thought about it, and this is what I fucking told you.
It did, you know, over the course of, you know, I picked a flight with New York City.
And that's one thing I like to say, lo, these, you know, many years later is...
I'm maybe the only dude in this country that picked a fight with an entire city.
It did get a little irritating, though, that every road trip, Houston, Cincinnati, Oakland, San Diego, you've still got the stands running their mouth.
They're like, just give it a rest.
I didn't say shit about you.
Give it a fucking rest.
That did get a little irritating that most road trips you had to hear the fans getting mouthy and talking and whatnot.
But To have that reaction in New York was exactly what I was going for.
When you came to St. Louis, I stood and cheered, okay?
So while the other ignoramuses around me might have stood and booed, I stood and cheered because I thought it was fantastic when somebody adds a little entertainment outside of the lines, like yourself.
But it was inside the lines, too.
I mean, pumping your fists, scorching out to the mound.
Actually, I ran to Will Ferrell years ago in the meatpacking district in Manhattan, and we chatted a little bit, and he's like, I'm not going to say it is, not going to say it's not.
He wouldn't admit it, but I'm like, yeah, that's all you need to tell me.
So anyway, to hear the Kenny Powers character, Danny McBride, But I found this out like two years ago, and I'm like, no fucking way.
This can't be legit, and yeah, it's legit.
I was born in Statesboro, Georgia, in the Bullock County Hospital in Statesboro, Georgia in 1974.
If you even know where Statesboro, Georgia is, title town, title speck on the map, especially back in 1974.
Guess where the hell Danny McBride was born in 1976.
You know, the media is always a necessary, annoying evil, and breaking my mind, they are fucking annoying.
But now you've got guys' wild pitches going on, and the guy's mic'd up in the outfields.
I mean, I can see a Bobby Cox or a Joe Torrey, some of these old school guys going, no, I'm not doing that.
These games are too important, you know, for some, you know, media stunt, fan-friendly, let my center fielder be talking shit with somebody in his ear giving an interview while we got a tying one on third base.
I'm doing that.
Interviewing coaches right in the middle of an inning.
It's just a little ridiculous.
There's a little too much access.
A little too much fan-friendly.
Let's look up your skirt.
Back when I played, yeah, I mean...
I don't know what time the media had access to the clubhouse, but it was quite often.
There was never a time, I guess maybe a half hour before the first pitch, the media had to leave.
Our traveling secretary, Bill Aker, I love Bill, but he was one of those just lovable assholes, and he loved being an asshole.
His favorite thing to do was every afternoon, I guess it was...
Maybe 6, 6.30, whenever, you know, I can't remember, it was 30 minutes or an hour before first pitch, was to walk in and throw the media out.
He loved doing that shit.
He was like, oh, here goes Bill.
Favorite time of the day.
And he said, kick the media out.
And, um, but they were always in there.
And I never really minded, uh, The ones that were, you know, your serious journalists, your USA Todays, your ESPNs, your, you know, local major paper beat writers, but it was the clowns.
It was the, I'm with something, something, something dot com.
I would, I would.
Whether it was coming out of the shower after a game and having 20 of them around my locker and I'm just wearing a towel, I weave through them, turn them back to my locker, drop towel and do my whole interview with just full funnel buck naked just so you can maintain professional eye contact.
And some of the journalists, they do kind of get across that threshold of sort of being accepted, being almost one of the boys where, you know, after a game, you might be sitting in the lobby bar at the hotel and you won't mind if a journalist comes and sits down and has a drink with you or you might even invite them to come over and sit with you, but would never get to the point of, you know, hey, Bill, AJC beat Ryder.
You want to go to the club after the game.
It would never go that far.
But there are a few that could cross the threshold enough to be more than tolerated, almost accepted.
But most of them, yeah, it was just a necessary annoyance.
There was actually one of our beat writers, Carol Rogers, she was the beat writer when I was in high school for the Macon Telegraph and News, and she became the beat writer for the AJC. I mean, she was in clubhouse every day, all day, every day.
No, it was, I mean, especially playing for a big market team like Atlanta, especially for a big series, you know, a Yankee series or a Met series.
I mean, there would be 50, 75 journalists in a clubhouse.
But, no, it was never worse on the road.
But, you know, here's the one thing that...
I think most players will back me up.
The reason that so many players don't like journalists and so many players don't trust journalists is you're talking about someone who buys ink by the fucking barrel.
The sport they're covering, they most likely never played that sport past the junior high school level, and yet it's their job to disseminate information to hundreds of thousands of people, if not millions of people,
what it's like to play a sport They didn't play past the age of like 13 and so it's that type person when they get on the radio or on TV or in a newspaper and start effing you and trashing you and you're horseshit and you're like Who do you know?
You had so little talent that you couldn't play this sport past the age of 13. And you got two different colored socks on, by the way.
And you got holes in your shoes.
And you're going to go home after a game and MF me.
And the next day I come to the ballpark and all the fans are booing me because the trash you talked about me in the paper that morning.
And that's the kind of stuff that...
We'll always and forever make players just be very standoffish, very wary of reporters.
Especially, like you said, in a big market where they can really use the power of the press to even try to get fans to come out and dislike ya, boo ya, make other crap up.
John Rocker is our guest.
You gotta follow him on X at It's John Rocker.
Let's try to get him to 100K before the end of the day.
We got another segment coming up.
Maybe we get into some other old stories from the ball yard.
Maybe we talk about this new...
The new rules the MLB wants to implement, like the golden at bat.
I mean, my God, that's like worse than a New York City subway train.
All right, we got 20 more minutes here with John Rocker, former Major League Baseball fireballer and firebrand.
And you know, aside from the nostalgic stuff, I was a younger guy going to games when you were playing, John.
So aside from the kind of nostalgia of talking to, you know, former pro athletes I grew up watching, what I really appreciate about you and so many others is just your outspokenness.
Because I see so many athletes that are afraid of their own shadow.
Specifically with politics.
They don't want to talk politics.
Now, if you're a left liberal and you want to talk about how gay you are, you want to make your hockey stick gay, you want to make your baseball bat gay, then it's all good.
If you want to do all the leftist propaganda, no problem with that.
We'll shove it down your throat to the professional games too.
But God forbid somebody comes out as a pro-America conservative, a Trump supporter, wears a MAGA hat.
So, I mean, I really appreciate that.
Do you think there will ever be a time in pro sports where conservatives if they want to be politically outspoken would be more willing to do so?
There's a whole lot fewer of you than there are of NBCs, CBSs, CNNs, MSNBCs.
You know, 80, 85 percent of media is liberal.
And when they're the ones that have the most mouths reaching, you know, so many people, then their voices seem to get heard the loudest.
And, yeah, so as long as that, I guess, paradigm exists where most of the media is going to be liberal, then they're going to kind of choose what is disseminated to the public.
Liberal views are going to be champion.
Conservative views are going to be racist, homophobe, xenophobe, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
And until those voices that are deciding what's good and what's bad, until those voices change, then the baseline dynamic is not going to change.
You know, it was, you know, what I've liked, you know, to not have all that drama and fallout in my career and just gone to the ballpark, played my game, enjoyed my career, and when it was done, it was done, and going back to the ranch, of course.
Did I really enjoy...
Just fighting with the media day in and day out and all that.
I didn't hate it, but would I have just been left alone?
Probably so.
And most people don't have...
I don't want to say I speak out controversy, but I sure as hell will run from it.
A lot of people aren't like that.
A lot of people are just calm, quiet, and want to be left alone.
And yeah, I think just like what they've been doing to Trump below these last eight or nine years, what they are trying to do, absolutely, A, they hate him, but B, I think they're trying to discourage Other conservatives, you see what we did to him?
You want to come get some of that?
Yeah, then don't you fucking run for office.
It's just, I think it's just a, yes, they hate our beliefs, they hate our model of the world, but it's also, I think, a warning shot to others.
I mean, I don't know if we'll ever see the phenomenon switch of, let's say, conservatives dominating the media landscape, but those big-name outlets are actually – they're a dying breed.
His story, him individually, is absolutely incredible.
And I can remember, when I'm getting my shit and all that, I'm working for Ted Turner and working with Atlanta and Scherholz and all that.
Of course, I am behold.
They write my checks.
I'm under contract with them.
There is a bad boy clause in everybody's contract.
If you do something to piss the team off, they can void your contract and send you fucking packing.
I had to go on the apology tour and do the I'm sorry to everybody kind of shit.
It didn't do any good.
I was told to do this.
I had to do it.
But it didn't do any good.
It was just, you know, the sharks were still circling.
And I can remember thinking, you know, and got, you know, I've always been very politically minded, love talking politics.
I've been approached several times about running for various political seats, you know, statewide as well as federal.
And so I love talking politics.
I can remember thinking probably 15 years ago, I can't wait, I hope at some point in time, somebody comes along that is not beholden to the media, not beholden to anyone, that they can basically, you don't like it, stick it up your ass, and what are you going to do about it?
You can't find me, you can't suspend me, you can't beat me up to a point where you break me down and I'm broke, I lose all my money, and that.
I so badly want someone to come along who is just basically wearing Kevlar, you can't get me.
And then holy shit, here comes Trump.
Like, you can't get him.
You just can't.
I mean, he's too smart, too savvy.
Too rich, too many connections, too big a personality, and that's what, you know, obviously the media has been so frustrated for the last seven or eight years, and throwing the kitchen sink at him, and it just bounces off.
Everything just bounces off.
It's the damn thing I've ever seen.
So yeah, he finally, what I was saying 15 years ago, I hope someone comes along that can't be got, and can't be pushed around and bullied into submission, and holy shit, here he came.
And what the hell has he done with it?
I mean, just massive, and I can't wait to see what the next four years are going to be.
What are you trying to pull off?
That's going to be one of those, like, holy shit moments.
And I wonder, too, because there's no doubt The Trump presidency will change the future of politics forever.
I don't know if there'll ever be another Trump type in our lives.
That might be too much to ask.
But, you know, people trying to mimic Trump, emulate Trump, take that same attitude to the stump that Trump has, that might be something that never goes away.
And this, I just kind of thought of this, so immediate doing to Trump What they've done to them, again, a few minutes ago, in an effort to fire a warning shot to all other potential oncomers.
You try to do this shit, well, the same thing will ruin your life, ruin your family, try to bankrupt you, etc.
Well, now, none of it worked out.
Trump is taller and stronger now than he ever has been.
So now I think that sends the same message the media was trying to send, that Let them come after you.
You can get through it.
You can beat them just like I did.
So come one, come all.
I think the media's plan to beat Trump down and warn others will do the same thing to you blew up right in their face.
It was going to be a house seat, District 6, back when I lived in Georgia still, in Atlanta still, and met with, I can't remember the gentleman's name, one of the bigger campaign advisors, managers in the city.
Met with him a couple of times, mulled it over.
A good friend of mine that's heavy into politics in Atlanta, Came with the idea, and he set the meetings up and all that, and it came down to a few meetings, and then one question was asked, John, if you were to be elected, could you keep your composure in a committee room with an AOC, with a Nancy Pelosi?
The thought of having to sit in a committee room across from a table from Nancy Pelosi and listen to her fucking nonsense without just losing my ever-loving mind.
There's just no way I can do it.
No way.
I don't know if you can...
What's the penalty in...
The lower chamber like that, of like, slapping one of your colleagues for the dumb shit they're saying, but we would have found out.
Just what a So, I'm trying to think of all the stuff, because baseball went through a lot of things while you were there.
It really rose to maybe its most prominent era was around the time you were playing.
I think a lot of people would say the highest ratings, some of the biggest stories dealing with the World Series, the Yankees, the home runs, Barry Bonds, Mark McGuire.
Yeah.
Now we have these goons that are running the league, and that's how I look at it.
When I look at what Rob Manfred is, I tune into a ballgame now, and I don't even know what I'm watching.
They got all these weird rules and idiosyncrasies.
Like, I don't even know what I'm watching.
It's not the sport that I grew up playing or watching.
I didn't think anybody could be a better clown than Selick.
And here comes Rob Manford and totally redeemed himself.
Totally proved me wrong.
Some of the stuff he's pulled off, I get what he's trying to do.
He's trying to get baseball to appeal to the Ten-second attention span crowd, the iPhone crowd, the TikTok crowd that can't pay attention to anything for about eight consecutive seconds.
He's trying to appeal to that crowd.
But in doing so, he's taking a big dump on a 140-year institution of professional baseball.
He's just knocking it off.
If you can't pay attention for more than a couple of minutes and baseball bores you, then go watch Sarcastable.
Go watch...
I don't know.
Cornhole on ESPN 7. We don't need you at the games.
I'll tune into a game and somebody will be down 6-1 and they'll hit a double and they'll do a whole gyration like they're a stripper at the club on second base.
I'm like, dude, you're down by five runs and you're dancing like a hooker.
What in the hell is this?
Like, you guys used to hit a home run, you'd round the bases, you'd shake your guy's hand, you'd go to the dugout.
Now they got a whole softball team cheerleader dance going on.
That's just kind of what's been a loss in the game now.
Big league guys are very proud guys.
We have all worked very hard to get where we're at, and the last thing any of you are going to do is show me up.
A hitter taking me deep is not going to do some...
Beard, pirouette, frickin' back moonwalk shit.
And when I strike somebody out, I'm not gonna punk him.
I might punk my fist.
I'm excited I did something.
Excitement versus showboating are two totally different things.
If I punch you out with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth in a one-run game, yeah, I'm not just gonna...
Alright.
I'm going to show some emotion.
But I'm not going to eyeball the guy and point at him and just, you know, punk him.
I can do that.
Guy's a very proud professional athlete.
He's one of the best on the planet at what he does and deserves respect.
And that's what I do see with a lot of baseball today is not respecting the game so much.
And when you win a certain situation, the person you beat, you're not respecting them.
And, you know, big league guys, at least they used to be, were big on respect.
And if I felt you disrespected me or one of my teammates, I'm gonna fucking get your ass.
It may not be today, it may not be this series, but, I mean, I hate to admit this because I actually like the guy now.
I never met him before.
When I've done this, I grew up a huge Braves fan.
You know, I grew up Macon, Georgia, and, you know, by the time I'm five years old, I'm watching the Braves on Channel 17, WTBS, you know, got to make them with, you know, 1979 on a TV with rabbit ears on it.
And so, you know, I remember where I was when Sid slid.
I mean, I went to, you know, probably 100 Atlanta games growing up over a 15-year period of time.
And huge Braves fan.
And when Jim Lairitz hit that three-run home run off Walters to...
Beat Atlanta, keep them going up 3-0.
And then all the momentum shifts from the Atlanta side to the Yankees side.
And the Yankees, you know, roll to win that 96 series.
A couple limited edition items that you're going to be very interested in.
And if you would like to get them before they sell out, I would suggest moving fast.
And that is the answer to 1984 is 1776 limited edition coin.
And the Trump on a stump.
Christmas figurine.
That's right.
Trump on a stump.
Christmas figurine.
And it is bendable, movable, and you can basically put it on your tree, have it hang from the tree, have it hold onto the tree, hug the tree, sit on the tree, whatever you want.
It's all at thealexjonesstore.com.
And don't forget, with every purchase, you get multiple entries for the monster truck raffle.
It's all happening right now at thealexjonesstore.com.
All right, I'll give out the phone number on the other side of this break.
Let's just quickly, this is Kash Patel.
This is who Trump wants to put in charge of the FBI. Listen to what he told Glenn Beck in clip three.
You know, I'm curious if that wasn't intentionally done, that he follows up the JFK files with the 9-11 files.
He talks about the jigsaw of intelligence.
I wonder if the two events are connected.
But he said, release JFK, release 9-11, release Epstein.
Cash Patel for FBI director.
Ray will probably resign, but if he doesn't, he'll be fired day one.
Let's get Patel in there.
Let's declassify.
Let's get some transparency here.
Okay, let's squeeze in some calls in this segment.
We haven't taken a call all week.
So let's take some calls here, shall we?
Phone lines are open.
877-789-2539.
877-789-2539.
Number is on the screen.
We'll take some calls here.
Let me cover some news while we're getting the phone lines ready to go.
The TikTok ban lost...
TikTok faces U.S. ban after losing bid to overturn new law.
TikTok is one step closer to disappearing in the United States after a panel of federal judges on Friday unanimously upheld a new law that could lead to the banning of the popular Chinese-owned video app by mid-January.
What's interesting here is that If ByteDance would just sell it, then it could stick around.
They refuse to sell it.
I'm guessing there's more legal battles ahead.
But it's supposed to go down right before the inauguration.
The shutdown or sale is supposed to happen right before the inauguration.
Now Trump has come out in support of TikTok.
And so that could become a factor in all of this as well.
The Trump factor, if you will.
Do you remember the rhino Republican in Texas, the House Speaker, Dade Phelan?
Well, he was trying to become the Speaker again.
You know, he was against Ken Paxton.
He was trying to become the Speaker again for a third time.
He's now withdrawn his name again.
From his bid to serve another term as the leader of the lower chamber.
Because, ladies and gentlemen, the new Texas House is very good.
Let's just say that.
And he knew he was not going to get through.
Texas is not messing around right now.
And we are getting serious Republicans in there that talk like us, think like us, and want to see the same results as us.
Like...
Stop funding all these foreign wars and stop getting us involved in Ukraine.
This is a member of the EU Parliament coming out against the war in Ukraine.
A member of the EU Parliament.
More messages like this are needed if we're going to get closer to peace and call out all of our corrupt political leaders that love these wars.
Listen to this message in clip five.
unidentified
We need to stop the war in Ukraine now.
If Ursula von der Leyen and all these government bureaucrats had to send their own children to fight in the front line, will they still vote so passionately to support and escalate the war?
It's easy to make decisions about the war when you are detached from its everyday reality.
When it's someone else's child is fighting, when it's someone else who has to face the consequences, Since the beginning of this war, more than one million people have been killed or been wounded in the battlefield, including many civilians as well as many soldiers, both Russians and Ukrainians.
All these people, they are someone else's children, friends, parents.
Keeping the war going, which is what the European politicians want, is completely crazy and inhumane.
We need to find a way to stop it now.
For more than two years, the United States and the European Union have been betting on winning this war in the battlefield.
And this strategy has clearly failed, as Ukraine keeps losing its territory slowly, slowly every day.
We cannot wait any longer.
We need ceasefire right now, and not more weapons and escalation.
Politicians out there, please, before deciding the support of the war, please think, what if it was your children fighting in the front lines?
I think it was Marjorie Taylor Greene that put into a bill that if you vote for funding of Ukraine, you have to go serve on the front lines.
That's how it's done.
That's how it's done.
And actually, when you talk about human civilization, it's extremely untraditional that the people that support and want to fight the wars don't go fight the wars.
That's actually how it used to be.
Not anymore.
Now politicians sit in their ivory towers and send everybody else to fight their wars that they get rich off of.
It's disgusting.
It is some of the worst political corruption that we have to deal with, quite frankly.
And And you just hope it comes to an end, maybe, with this next administration.
Alright, I don't have my phone lines lit up here on the side, guys, so I don't know what the status of those are.
So if you want to get that updated for me, let's do this.
A beauty salon owner decided to go public...
With her hatred of Donald Trump.
How do you think it went for her?
She explains in clip one.
unidentified
They're dropping like flies.
I lost another one of my clients today, who clearly was a Trump supporter.
And they sent me a message.
They never cancel their appointment.
They don't have the courage to cancel their appointment.
And it's just fucking rude.
But anyway, she messaged me after I had messaged her.
Like, hey, I had you down at 3. Just making sure you're on your way.
I'm making sure you're okay.
And she wrote back...
Dear Tiffany, I spelled my name wrong.
I am so sorry that this last election has upset you so much as to elicit the hateful public posts you made on TikTok.
Not once, but twice.
I have really thought highly about you and your posts have broken my heart.
Since you have made it clear how you feel about anyone who doesn't share your opinion, I feel you have left no opinion but for me to move on.
And, you know, the ancient civilizations, ancient cultures, ancient megaliths.
There's definitely a lot we don't know about in our own history.
And...
You know, you could probably even say that there's proof of higher intelligence before modern civilization in some of these archaeological discoveries.
QC, thank you for the call.
I've got a short amount of time to take calls, so I want to jump to as many as I can.
Let's go to Officer Salton in Virginia.
You're on the air.
Salton, go ahead.
unidentified
Hey, Owen.
I want to say hey to everybody in the X chat.
I just joined X right when you guys got took off, when InfoWars got took down a couple Thursdays ago.
I freaked out, and then I realized, oh, I could see what Alex is saying on X. So I made an X account, and actually today I tried to share a picture of Hunter Biden on Instagram, and they took my account down today.
I mean, I kind of have to assume that it's real now because...
They've gone through so much trouble to hide all the laptop stuff that, you know, they can say it's Russian disinformation, but at this point you have to assume it's real, you know?
I know that they had a policy where they, I think they banned anything from the laptop.
I don't know the exact image you're referencing.
There were other disturbing images, to say the least.
But I'm not sure if I know the exact one you're talking about.
But if it's on the laptop, you can certainly find it.
unidentified
Right.
It was disturbing.
There was no nudity, but you'd think it would want to be like a conversation the public should be having with one another.
The comment I had was, is this really pardonable?
I mean, he was hanging out with like a nine-year-old girl.
Anyway, I want to...
I've had kind of an epiphany...
Lately, I'm thinking I know why they're flooding the first world countries with immigrants.
And they're doing it on purpose, like Klaus Schwab and the vampires and the goblins at the top.
They're doing this on purpose.
And I think I understand what they're doing.
They're setting us up for the cyber pandemic.
So when Hurricane Marie hit in Puerto Rico, the community came together kind of like a little utopia because they were all a homogeneous community.
But when you have a city like, say, Springfield, Ohio, which is basically Americans and a different group of people who don't even speak the language, what's going to happen when you turn the lights out in a situation like that?
Well, there's no doubt it's an attack on our country.
How detailed or deep the attack is, I guess we'll have to wait and find out.
But it's an attack.
They're committed to it.
And that's why they're saying, oh, legalize them all now.
Bring as many in as possible.
It's so corrupt.
It's unbelievable.
The fact that we even put up with this is unfathomable.
But yet, here we are.
Thank you for the call.
Let's go to Christy in FEMA Region 4. Christy, you're on the air.
Go ahead.
unidentified
Yeah, I was calling in about the Congo.
There's a new mysterious disease down there.
They're saying they don't know what it is.
They're saying 143 people have died.
And they're starting, and like right before it came out, they started talking about disease X again.
So this is giving me like the COVID vibes all over again.
And especially with Peter Hoth has coming out and saying on January 21st, the Trump administration is going to have to deal with all these new viruses and things.
It just all seems a little too convenient.
If you guys could look into the stuff in the Congo, I've been on it all day.
Weren't they just in the Congo delivering vaccines too?
unidentified
Yeah, that was what I said when I first heard about it.
I just brushed it off and I didn't think about it because they have a big M-pox outbreak and they're giving these poor people that horrible M-pox vaccine down there, right?
So I was like, well, this isn't a new thing.
It's just vaccine injuries because we've seen it over and over again, right?
No, uh-uh.
They're cooking something up.
It's feeling really COVID-y.
The Stars paper said that it was going to be 2025. We're going into 2025 with Trump being inaugurated.
And I'm just like, how did they blow up his last administration?
The timing of COVID, it really started to become a story, and people were talking about it, in December of 2019. And so you could say that it's kind of lining up timing-wise, too, if that's the case.
I would, you know, I won't even get into whatever's going on in the Congo.
You've just now informed me about this mysterious disease that is all over the news.
The crew is pulling up stories.
I wonder if they do try to roll it out again, like Peter Hotez says, oh, all these viruses, they're all gonna, as soon as Trump gets into office, he's gonna be hit with all these viruses.
Well, okay.
I wonder what the public perception would be this go-around.
And that enters into a very interesting time where I don't think people will believe it.
It'll be more rejected than it was the first go-around, which was mostly a failure as far as control.
But it'll be rejected again, and people will just say...
Well, gee, this is really just an attack on Trump.
And so then you'll get into this entire different conversation about it that wasn't really the popular conversation to have.
But then that's dangerous because then they could release something that is actually extremely deadly and not just a scam like they did the first go around.
So I hope we don't have to deal with that.
But I can understand why your suspicions are causing you concern.
In that same vein, we now go to Chad in Minnesota.
So, Nancy Pelosi actually, the origin of that Coronavirus Pandemic Committee was actually brought in And it was brought in under, it was titled, The Select Committee on the Coronavirus Crisis.
So it changed.
And it changed on January 24th of 2023. Kevin McCarthy announced it.
So what happened was, the original committee was very heavily based on going after conspiracists that were trying to get hydroxychloroquine.
Push through as a therapeutic.
And then now with this final report on the pandemic side, it's very, it's obviously the majority, it's GOP. There's wording in there where they talk about Operation Warp Speed being a tremendous success.
And what I'm getting at is both sides, both committees, it's very political.
The elephant in the room is what Dr. Zelenko found through his protocol that hydroxychloroquine, being an ionophore, along with zinc and other things, quercetin, if you want to use an ionophore, different whatever, even just chloroquine or ivermectin.
There is nothing that is said from the recent report that was released that talks about that.
Peter Navarro and Dr. Stephen Hatfield Have made it clear that the administration was trying to get that information to the FDA, and then there was all this strange activity.
Janet Woodcock put it in and got it under the EUA, Emergency Use Authorization, and they deemed it so it was for hospital use.
They covered up the actual things that worked so that they could force you to take the shot.
It was a complete scam.
I mean, I don't think that this was necessarily supposed to look into that as much as it was the origins, which they are now admitting was the Chinese lab all the time.
I know Ron Johnson was leading something at the Senate level looking into why they blocked the things that actually worked and then forced you to take an experimental injection.
I do have to say that as a resident of Buffalo, New York, I live a mile and a half from the coast of Lake Erie, and let me tell you, it is definitely real.
All the great teamwork that they have over there covering all the geopolitical issues as well as domestic stories.
We're glad to have Anya on with us today.
There's so much I want to get into with you today, Anya, but I want to start in South Korea.
It was a big dramatic story, had all the headlines for a couple hours, martial law, and then martial law was canceled seemingly before most of the world even noticed.
It was a very tense moment in Korea where I think Koreans went to bed one night and woke up realizing that martial law had been declared and pretty suddenly lifted because of such intense political blowback.
In the South Korean parliament, but essentially what had happened is the South Korean parliament threatened to impeach President Yoon and he declared martial law, basically not allowing any protests or even parliamentarians were blocked from entering the government building during that period.
And all of that seems to have been forgotten now because of the quick turnaround.
But what I wanted to point out here when I was looking at this is that this came at a time when the...
The United States are pressuring, along with its allies, pressuring South Korea to make the step of directly arming Ukraine with lethal weapons.
So far, South Korea has helped replenish U.S. weapon supplies so that we could continue arming the Ukrainians, but they haven't taken the step of directly arming Ukraine themselves.
And, of course, in the last two, three weeks, U.S. and South Korean media and government officials have floated this news item claiming that North Korean troops, due to they were tracking troop movements and they claim that North Korean troops are actually due to they were tracking troop movements and they claim that North Korean troops are actually in Russia, assisting the Russian military in fighting back
And so there are, of course, people that are skeptical of those claims for good reason, because it was used as a pretext for the Ukrainians to launch high range missiles into Russian territory, which was previously a red line declared by the Russian which was previously a red line declared by the Russian government.
something that they said they wouldn't tolerate in Moscow.
And yet, Ukraine went ahead with that With those attacks following the election of Donald Trump, pretty much kind of trying to push as many gains as they could in this period before Trump takes office.
And so the way that they drummed up support for that move in Ukraine was to claim that this is becoming a global war.
There are North Korean troops now there in Russia.
Zelensky recently met with the president of South Korea, was asking, begging for these weapons, and a movement in the streets in South Korea, where people are opposed to South Korea directly arming Ukraine, was brewing.
People were protesting the president for this possible decision, and so it was interesting timing for that For that martial law declaration to come down, it would have definitely stifled peace or antiwar protests in South Korea.
And it really highlights, I think, the history of South Korea that many Americans might not be aware of.
I traveled to South Korea in 2017, did a little documentary kind of getting into the history there of the U.S. role and how a lot of the The media narrative in the West about Korea and the idea that there's this authoritarian hermit state in the North and this free, flourishing democracy in the South really isn't true, because South Korea itself has struggled with democracy all throughout its history, much like the Ukrainians, and they really only...
We had democratic elections in 1989. So this is a pretty young country when it comes to democracy.
The government is very harsh when it comes to limiting peace, anti-war demonstrations.
And also, I think it's important to see how Korea and the Asian theater is now fitting into this larger world war, where you have clear allies drawn, Russia, North Korea, Iran, Syria.
On one side, and the United States and its allies across, whether it's in Asia, the Middle East, or Europe, fighting this bloc.
And for Korea now to become a flashpoint just tells me that this war is expanding.
Well, it shows the power of the military industrial complex.
When you say that South Korea was helping the US provide aid, does that mean South Korea is providing weapons to the US that then they're providing for Ukraine?
The South Koreans were giving us weapons, allowing us to replenish our stockpile and then use our reserves to send to Ukraine.
So that could mean that down...
I'm not exactly sure if that means somewhere down the line a weapon they gave us months ago did end up in Ukraine.
But it's certainly something that if there are North Korean troops present in Russia...
Would be concerning to both the North and South Koreans because you could look at a scenario where North Korean troops are killed with weapons directly or indirectly supplied by South Korea.
And in the lead up to this, the North did demolish some major connecting railways and roads that were links between the South and the North, which was kind of a sign that relations between the two Koreas were deteriorating. which was kind of a sign that relations between the
Despite the fact that during the first Trump administration, there seemed to be so much hope and progress, which is why I initially went to Korea in 2017 to see the hope that Koreans had.
It was very exciting that an American president would go there and actually push for a reduction of U.S. military drills and some sort of peace and reunification with the North.
Because these are people that have been separated since the end of World War II, forcibly.
families cut off, never allowed to speak with each other again because of the harsh rules in the South.
You're not allowed to send postcards, phone calls, anything.
And these were families that during the war, the following World War II when the Korean War began, there was just a line drawn saying that if you're on this side, you can't speak to the other side.
And I met people in their 80s, 90s that I knew you were going to say that name.
Well, I would anticipate Trump will try to engage in some form of effort to bring the two countries together.
I would guess he'll engage in that again as well.
How committed he'll be to that, I guess we shall find out.
But I guess in closing, you had a couple hours of a tense situation, but due to the protests in the streets and what was going on with the other politicians that were blocked, From going into parliament, the president decided to lift martial law.
And then as far as arming Ukraine stands, it's not going to happen.
Well, yeah, it's, you know, get as much in as possible before the door closes as they see it when the Trump administration begins here in just over a month.
I mean, that's what I see going on.
Flush as much money into Ukraine, as much weapons into Ukraine as possible before daddy comes home, if you will, and closes the door on that operation.
And then hopefully we get some peace.
But, you know, it's funny you talk about kind of the geopolitical gravity of the Russia-Ukraine situation, and yet...
Obviously not far from that is the situation in Israel that has a lot of gravity as well as far as the world is concerned.
And so the latest news we saw out of there was a ceasefire that Israel predictively broke within hours of signing it.
And so I guess that's just going to be how things go from here on out.
Where do things stand with Israel and, say, its enemies in the Middle East?
And can a ceasefire be had?
Or is it another situation where maybe Netanyahu is looking at it like, okay, now we've got to do as much as we can before Trump gets back in?
I think Netanyahu is absolutely making those calculations.
And that's evident in the fact that the minute that we heard about a ceasefire in Lebanon, suddenly...
Al-Qaeda militants began taking over territory in Syria.
It seemed that that war was won, that the Syrian army had successfully beaten back these Gulf and U.S.-backed, and Turkish, of course, backed extremist groups in Syria, and then suddenly they erupt.
They take Aleppo, one of the industrial bases of Syria, and home to one of the oldest Christian communities in the world that has already been Purged as a result of the first round of this war and will now certainly be facing danger under the command of HTS, the rebranded al-Qaeda group in Syria that is now moving further south in the country with the assistance of Turkey.
And this is what's so fascinating to me is that people, you know, Erdogan has talked a strong game about We're good to go.
Syria has increased its bombings, or Israel has increased its bombing campaign in Syria at this same time.
It's almost a coordinated attack against Syria with the Turks.
So the Turks should be seen as playing their hand alongside Israel and NATO, even though Erdogan often tries to He tries to play all of his cards and keeps relations with Russia as well as Iran.
It's clear now that Erdogan was waiting in the wings this whole time to strike when he had his moment.
And now that Israel has weakened Hezbollah, which was a major fighting force that was very...
That was one of the main fighting forces that was successful in beating back al-Qaeda and other militant groups in Syria.
I went to Syria in 2019 and saw the billboards that they had all around the country.
They had Assad, Hassan Nasrallah from Hezbollah and Putin on them saying thank you for saving our country.
And unfortunately for Syria over the past year, Hezbollah has been weakened.
Nasrallah is dead.
Russia is tied up in Ukraine, weakened there using equipment and bodies there.
And now Russia's military positions in Syria are threatened by this al-Qaeda invasion.
Well, yeah, let's kind of bring this all home too.
So, I think that when Israel or these different groups look at Syria, and some of these rebel groups are probably CIA-backed, I think when they look at Syria, they see Russia can't come to help, Putin is tied up in Ukraine, so normally the backup they would have there, that's not there.
And I think the bigger story for Americans to understand here, aside from all the geopolitics, The whole reason why the CIA-backed rebel groups, whether it is Al-Qaeda or under a different name, the whole reason why they've reemerged now under the Biden administration is because of Ukraine.
Much of these weapons that go into Ukraine get laundered through Ukraine and end up in the hands of these rebel groups.
I'm sure a lot of the things that were left behind in Afghanistan were sold off to these rebel groups, as well as the new leadership in Afghanistan.
And so this is why just cutting off whatever What the military-industrial complex is doing in the West is concerned, specifically in America, it brings peace to the region naturally because you stop funding these groups, you stop arming these groups.
I mean, that was Trump's really greatest victory was just cutting off the money, cutting off the weapons.
That's why we saw peace, I think, more than anything else.
But you mentioned Turkey and Israel.
Okay, Erdogan talks a strong game against Israel.
The UN talks a strong game against Israel.
The International Criminal Court talks a strong game against Israel.
Hell, even sometimes the Biden administration talks a strong game against Israel.
I think some in the courts might be serious, but they're powerless.
Some in the UN might be serious, but they're powerless.
And the Biden administration is not serious because they are not powerless.
They have leverage over Israel.
If the United States wanted to dictate the terms of a peace agreement to Israel tomorrow, they could.
We could, it's just that it seems that all too often you have people working in our government who are actually just simply working as lawyers or fixers, diplomats representing the Israeli government.
That's what you got with Antony Blinken, no question.
So he can get out there and criticize Netanyahu, but behind the scenes, they're not threatening any military aid or anything.
So...
I think the Israelis pretty much run the show.
And let's not forget, the UN created Israel at its inception in 1948. And that's another point that's interesting to me about what's going on right now, is that in a lot of ways it feels like we're still fighting the wars, the remnants of what came after World War II. Korea being a war that broke out right after World War II, the UN heavily involved in that conflict.
Israel was created after World War II in 1948 and has been in constant conflict with its neighbors ever since.
So it seems that we're kind of dealing with the remnants of what wasn't solved during World War II. Yeah, and now NATO, too, to just add more spice into the picture.
Exactly.
Exactly.
So is this an order that is dying?
And that this is the round in which we see the forces that won World War II are now fighting for their survival?
Or, I mean, in the case of the Middle East, it's really a tragedy because it looks like Syria may actually be lost.
I think really Obama killed whatever was left of the American left.
I mean, and then Trump derangement syndrome and just everything that came after really broke these groups up.
But there are still some really good peace activists.
I'll give Code Pink and Medea Benjamin and those people credit for showing up in Congress and at the State Department to challenge Blinken.
I think those are, you know, some some people that really do still call out the people that deserve to be called out.
But you would think at this point, I mean, I guess it's just what we're missing in the United States is a feeling that even though we're involved in all these conflicts and we're at risk because of them, we don't really feel the effects.
Right.
Our people are our soldiers aren't the ones dying.
That's why that's why we love the Ukrainians, because they can supply the bodies this time around.
Again, Gray Zone just provides excellent geopolitical commentary.
You don't see very much elsewhere.
And so it's just nice to get all the different perspectives.
And when I look at this, same thing we've been saying here really forever here at InfoWars, and specifically on this broadcast.
They even made a movie about it, making fun of it, with the great creators of South Park.
Matt Stone and Trey Parker.
The Team America World Police thing.
It's like, we gotta be involved in all of these conflicts.
But we got our own problems here.
We got our own problems.
We got a border issue that's completely out of control.
We've got poverty issues.
We've got homeless issues.
We've got all these issues.
And I think Americans are finally getting fed up with these world tours of Blank checks, whether it's for Africa, whether it's for Ukraine, whether it's for Israel, whether it's for Taiwan, all these different things.
And you can prioritize when it comes to foreign policy.
Well, does it make strategic sense for us to support here or support here?
But they don't even try to sell that to you anymore.
They just say, no, this is your duty.
We just have to do this and you just have to pay hundreds of billions of dollars to foreign countries and foreign wars while you're spending hundreds of billions of dollars on foreign citizens coming into your country.
This is a mess, folks.
This is a mess.
I don't know if you can clean it up in four years in one administration, but certainly you think it's going to be better once Trump gets in than it's been.
And we do have a track record of that.
Trump does have a track record of that and some of the people he's bringing in have a track record or at least a desire to do just that.
But when I talk to people, the average American, not really that politically involved or informed, they all agree.
And when they see these numbers, they get sick.
They want nothing to do with it.
When they go out and they see all the homelessness, when they go and look at their grocery bill, in some of these cities that are just overwhelmed by illegal immigrants, it sticks out like a sore thumb.
They want nothing to do with this anymore.
And so we've just gone through four years of the most corrupt administration probably in U.S. history.
I don't know if it can be cleaned up in four years.
It probably could be.
I don't know if it will be.
But certainly the wars have to stop.
The bloodshed has to stop.
Or I'm afraid it won't just be our treasure.
It'll be American blood again.
And that is just completely unacceptable.
So, you know, Infowars is...
We've stood on those principles and values for decades.
And we always will.
Always anti-war.
Always believing peace is an option.
So this weekend, I hope you have a peaceful weekend.
I hope you have a great weekend.
