RFK Jr.’s January 29th, 2025, HHS confirmation hearing exposed alleged Big Pharma ties among Democrats like Warren and Sanders, while he pushed "radical transparency" on chronic disease—citing 70% adult obesity and a third of children affected. Trump’s executive orders, from halting $181M in DEI contracts to repurposing Guantanamo for deportations, slashed border crossings from 2,500/day under Biden to 43/day. January 6th defendants like Nick Ochs detailed brutal prison conditions, framing their cases as political persecution, while Alex Jones touted natural health solutions over pharmaceuticals and mocked media bias. The episode underscores a conservative push for systemic accountability in healthcare, immigration, and criminal justice. [Automatically generated summary]
Ladies and gentlemen, it's Wednesday, January 29th, 2025. Busy day.
Busy day in politics.
You had the RFK Jr. Confirmation hearing.
And we got all the highlights for you.
But if you're wondering, gee, why are these senators, specifically Democrat senators, why are they so contentious?
Why are they attacking RFK Jr. and either outright lying or taking things he said completely out of context?
What is with that?
Well, the answer might not surprise you when you open their books and see who funds them.
That's right.
So we're going to play the clips for you today.
And then we'll show you why Elizabeth Warren is up there coming completely unhinged.
And Bernie Sanders is attacking him as well.
It's really not that much of a mystery.
But we'll show you why.
When we go through the clips, including his opening statement, you also had President Trump giving a speech today talking about some of the results of his executive orders, some of the specifics of things that have been done as far as the Department of Government efficiency, as far as what we're going to do about the millions of illegal immigrants, and...
More importantly, the violent criminal illegal immigrants that are here.
Trump is announcing some plans with that.
And signed the Lake and Riley Act into law today.
He invited her mother up to the podium to speak.
So we've got all that for you coming up.
And then just, I mean, now, some crazy political drama developing.
If Bob Menendez was a Republican, He would be all over.
In fact, I'm not even sure he was on Drudge Report today.
I'm running it back in my mind when I logged on to the Drudge Report, which isn't run by Matt Drudge anymore.
It's run by some leftist now.
Matt Drudge is probably retired on some island somewhere and, you know, sipping a cold beverage right now, wearing a nice hat.
Good for him.
So I know it's not the real Drudge Report anymore, but it's still a source of information to see what other people are reporting and thinking.
Still aggregates news.
I don't even think Menendez was on there.
If Bob Menendez was a Republican, it would be the top story everywhere.
You listening to this, you might even be asking yourself, why Bob Menendez?
Why is he talking about Bob Menendez today?
Bob Menendez is in the news.
What's going on?
Yeah.
Just got sentenced to the largest prison sentence from a sitting senator at the time from the charges that he's ever faced.
Taking foreign bribes, foreign payments as a sitting senator.
Nowhere.
It's barely even a news story.
Because he's a Democrat.
But if he was a Republican...
It would be all over.
It would be front page everywhere.
Headlines everywhere.
Republicans are corrupt.
You know it.
But he's a Democrat, so it's kind of on the back page.
If we even mention it.
We'll put it on the back page.
I mean, it is news.
Maybe we'll cover it on the back page.
But we're not going to make a big fuss.
You know, we'll lie about Donald Trump being a foreign agent.
We'll lie about Tulsi Gabbard being a foreign agent.
But when there's an actual foreign agent caught in the Senate taking money, Shh!
We don't want anybody to know about the name Bob Menendez.
Or maybe some of these other Democrats that just got caught in Florida.
Big LGBTQ rights activists arrested in Florida.
What do you think that's about?
We'll tell you that as well.
And, I mean, just all kinds of political drama.
Man charged with carrying Molotov cocktails, trying to target Trump's cabinet again.
If these were Democrats being targeted, it'd be the top news story.
But since it's Republicans, they just bury it.
Well, not here.
We give you the full news.
All right, we've got a very busy day today, and I want to jump right in to the RFK Jr. hearings.
Thank you.
In this first segment, I forgot this funniness my crew just brought me.
Well, we'll make an announcement, and we'll have some fun later.
Some things just got revealed going back to 2020 that will make you keel over laughing as they did me.
And we're going to get more information.
I have an announcement on it.
But I want to go right in.
Got a lot of political news today.
I want to go right into the RFK junior hearings.
I will also tell you, and I'm kind of beginning this process.
You heard from Joe Biggs earlier today on the Alex Jones Show.
That was fantastic.
We've already had Enrique Tarrio on as well.
Stuart Rose and others.
And as I've been saying, I've been speaking to a lot of January 6th defendants who are just kind of getting back acclimated to life.
People that have been spending a lot of time in prison because of the political persecution.
Just getting back acclimated to life.
Just spending time with friends and family.
They're starting to open up to do some interviews.
And so I'm going to start these profile pieces today, really, of January 6th defendants that you likely have never even heard of.
And we'll hear their stories, their, you know, series of events from that day, what they saw, what they heard, how it went down, and then ultimately the legal battle that wound them up in prison.
So we're going to kind of start that today.
And I'm going to be doing these profiles.
We're not going to be too much extended.
We have too much news to cover.
But just kind of condensed 10-15 minute profile pieces on January 6th defendants.
So you can hear from these people.
You can hear their stories.
You can hear what they went through.
You can hear the truth about that day.
The justice system.
And maybe we can kind of spur this into more awareness of the...
Criminal justice reform that we need.
And the Bureau of Prisons reform that we need.
We talked to Bevlin Beattie, similar experiences from her.
The things Joe Biggs was talking about earlier today.
The exact same things that I witnessed that he's talking about.
So these are rampant issues inside the system.
So we're going to kind of use these profile pieces to expose this.
And maybe we can get something done when it comes to criminal justice reform and Bureau of Prison reform, which is long overdue.
Long overdue.
So, tons of stuff to cover.
We're going to start that process today as well.
As I said, I'm talking to a lot of these defendants.
We've got a couple coming on today as we'll begin these profiles.
Now, let's just jump right in.
Let's give the lead today, which is the RFK Jr. hearings.
And we're going to kind of do this in reverse because I'm going to actually play RFK's opening statements last.
I'm going to go to some of these clips first with the back and forth.
But just know this.
A lot of good commentary came out of this as far as good debate.
Spirited debate and conversation.
Then you had your Big Pharma lobbyist-owned senators who want to pretend like they're fighting Big Pharma.
You go open the books, they're making tens of thousands of dollars.
In some cases, hundreds of thousands from Big Pharma.
And they were the ones going the hardest after RFK Jr. And then you say, oh, well, that makes sense.
These are talking points.
These are questions coming right from their Big Pharma handlers.
Right from their big pharma donors.
These are crocodile tears.
This is synthetic outrage directed at RFK Jr. Now, RFK was a little more...
Let's say he didn't go off the beaten path too much.
He didn't go off the beaten path too much as far as truth bombs were concerned.
But he did bring up some good issues and just fair questions that the American people should have.
But ultimately, RFK Jr. will be confirmed.
Now, they might try to delay this process.
Some of the Democrats are saying, oh, we need more time to grill him and question him.
I don't think it's going to take...
I expect RFK Jr. will be confirmed probably next week.
He'd get the FOIA requests fulfilled, and then they would send him, for example, specifically with Anthony Fauci, they'd send him 30,000 Anthony Fauci emails, and everything would be redacted.
So it's like, oh, okay, here's your Freedom of Information request, and then they'd just send you 30,000 empty pages and pretend like they fulfilled the request.
So if I'm reading between the lines, what is he really saying?
He's saying when we deal with FOIA requests or anybody coming to us for information, You're going to get the information.
Maybe he's even thinking about something specific when he's talking about this.
Maybe it is Anthony Fauci.
Maybe it is some of the gain-of-function research and some of the other things that are being funded.
Some of the other agenda items that go through HHS and everything else beneath it and all these other medical bureaucracies.
So even though it was a generic statement, maybe I'm reading between the lines.
Maybe he's saying, hey, you want the dirt on Fauci?
Hey, you want the dirt on all the corruption that goes on here?
Hey, you want to look under the hood of this monstrosity?
I'm going to give it to you.
So that's kind of how I took it.
That's kind of how I took it.
Now here he is.
Here he is talking about why the U.S. You know what?
That's his opening statement.
We'll go to that later.
unidentified
Just instead give me clip 11. Well, let me ask you this then, because you keep citing the Trump administration and you're just going to follow what they say.
Is that what you're doing?
You're just a rubber stamp in this position?
So it doesn't matter that you're before us.
It could be anybody coming before us, as long as they're a rubber stamp for this administration and disregarding your beliefs and what you think.
I guess my question to you is, if it really is fundamental to what you believe, how do you live with that?
How do you address those issues as you're moving forward?
President Trump has asked me, because I'm in a unique position, to end that.
And that is what I'm doing.
And if we don't solve that problem, Senator, all of the other disputes we have about who's paying, whether it's insurance companies, whether it's providers, whether it's HMOs, whether it's patients or families, all of those are moving deck chairs around in the Titanic.
Our ship is sinking.
Our 60% increase in Medicaid over the past four years is the biggest budget line now, and it's growing faster than any other.
And no other nation in the world has what we have here.
No other nation has a chronic disease.
We have the highest chronic disease burden of any country in the world.
We had, during COVID... We had 16% of the COVID deaths in a country.
We only have 4.2% of the world's population.
We had a higher death count than any country in the world.
And when CDC was asked why, they said it's because Americans are the sickest people on earth.
The average person who died from COVID, American, had 3.8 chronic diseases.
This is an existential threat economically to our military.
To our health, to our sense of well-being.
And it is a priority for President Trump.
And that's why he asked me to run the agency.
And if I'm privileged to be confirmed, that's exactly what I'll do.
As Secretary of HHS- Robert Kennedy will have the power to undercut vaccines and vaccine manufacturing across our country.
And for all of his talk about follow the science and his promise that he won't interfere with those of us who want to vaccinate his kids, the bottom line is the same.
Kennedy can kill off access to vaccines and make millions of dollars while he does it.
Kids might die, but Robert Kennedy can keep cashing in.
And then she's going to point the finger at RFK Jr. like somehow he's bought and paid for it and he's the exact opposite?
Incredible stuff.
And then when he calls her out, and then when he calls her out, she goes completely unhinged off the rails and starts screaming and shouting like the deranged lunatic that she is.
There was, look.
I could spend ten minutes breaking down the millions of dollars Elizabeth Warren has taken from Big Pharma.
It's not worth it.
I'll show you a couple examples and explain why she becomes a complete unhinged lunatic.
And the big pharmaceutical companies are scared of RFK Jr. He explains to Senator Ron Johnson, they had a very good exchange, by the way, but here he is explaining why the Democrats don't want him confirmed in clip 13. From across the political spectrum, and all these Democrats are opposed to me for partisan issues, they used to be my friends, agreed with me on all the environmental issues that I've been working on for my whole career.
Now they're against me because anything that President Trump does, any decision he makes, has to be...
And he got into a lot of different issues with Senator Ron Johnson that certainly had the big pharmaceutical lobbies panicking, including the politicians that they own, like Bernie Sanders.
He pretends like he's some Anti-establishment guy.
No, no, no.
The millionaires and billionaires.
Well, now he's a millionaire, so he just says the billionaires.
This is a real debate.
See, words have meaning.
Democrats, liberals, they want to be able to just say things and you not question the meaning.
It's why they constantly say, oh, well, Trump is against immigrants.
Totally a lie.
Nobody's against immigrants.
We're against criminal illegal aliens.
There's a total difference there, but words are supposed to have meanings.
So...
Healthcare is a human right.
This is another thing that they love to just toss out there.
Like, you're so bad if you're against vaccine mandates or you're so bad if you're against whatever the government bureaucracies tell you to do about your health.
You're so bad if you don't want government-funded, taxpayer-funded healthcare.
It's a human right.
So they love these things.
They just want to be able to say words and you don't even understand what they really mean.
Clip 14. Do you agree with me that the United States should join every other major country on Earth and guarantee health care to all people as a human right?
And then just the unhinged nature of these psychotics.
Truly, the Democrat Party today is just, it's just, I mean, you look at these senators, it's just filled with psychotic lunatics.
Elizabeth Warren, Mark Warner, Ron Wyden, I mean, these are genuine freaks.
These are people you just, you know, organically you can just sense you don't want to be around them.
You wouldn't sit next to them on a subway.
You wouldn't let them.
Babysit your kids.
Wouldn't want to accept their dinner invitations.
They have that vibe of, yeah, we don't want to be near them.
Something's off.
Something's significantly off.
Pretty obvious when you see these hearings.
Now, before we go to those clips, and I've talked about this before, and since it's kind of on topic today, really, My first big introduction to Infowars, more so than just the politics, was the health news.
And it's ironic to see the food babe, Vani Hari, sitting behind RFK Jr. during these hearings.
She's used to go on Infowars regularly a decade ago.
And I was more into health and fitness and organics and stuff like that before I was even into politics.
Getting the fluoride out of the water, talking about how Big Pharma owns the media, owns our Congress, dealing with stuff like that.
Organic food versus GMOs.
I mean, that was really, I was more interested in that stuff, tuning into InfoWars, than I even was necessarily the politics, let's say, 12 or so years ago, with guests like the Food Babe.
And so InfoWars has always been consistent about this.
And there's a reason why we sell health supplements.
It's really a modern marvel.
It's really a great breakthrough of science to say, hey, this is what's healthy in a blueberry.
This is what's healthy in an orange.
This is what's healthy in this food or that food.
And then find a way to turn it into health supplements.
So, well, you know, maybe I don't have the best diet, but I'm still getting my vitamins and minerals.
So I'm not deficient.
That's the scientific breakthrough.
That's the modern marvel.
That's why supplements are so popular.
That's why you have now, it's this big trend.
I mean, Ray Kurzweil, I'm no fan of his, but, you know, considered one of the smartest guys in technological engineering, takes like 86 supplements a day.
You've got that famous tech billionaire who kind of gets a bad rap because he's a little awkward and just does some strange stuff, but He's always talking about all the supplements he takes.
He's trying to live forever.
So that's why we sell supplements.
And we've always cared about your health.
We've always seen the issues.
We've always remained consistent.
So for me to see somebody who's going to get in there, that thinks like us, talks like us, sees the same problems that we see, RFK Jr., that's exciting.
That's exciting.
But we've been consistent on this forever.
And we're always finding new ways to innovate.
We're always finding new ways to deliver products that you like, that you get a health benefit from.
And one of the most recent breakthroughs that we have at thealexjonesstore.com is the Alex Jones Atomic Defense.
Something has been going around.
There's some bug going around.
I don't know what it is, but a lot of people that were in D.C. got it.
It knocked me out for a couple days.
It's definitely going around, and it hit some other people pretty bad.
It hit some other people pretty bad for, like, more than a week, and it hit some other people so bad that they just couldn't even get out of bed.
I was still able to come in here and do a show, and probably because I take all the supplements from thealexjonesstore.com, including Alex Jones Atomic Defense.
So my immune system was built up.
I caught a little bug, was sick for about 48 hours or so, didn't have to miss a day of work, still had to travel.
And I credit the products at thealexjonesstore.com.
I credit Alex Jones Atomic Defense.
I had an immune system built up so I could fight off whatever it was I got quickly, effectively, and not have to be under the weather for too long as I'm hearing others that are saying, man, it's been a week.
It's been two weeks.
I'm still sick.
So that's what we do.
We deliver great supplements at thealexjonesstore.com.
Alex Jones Atomic Defense right now, a 90-day supply.
That'll get you through winter.
Three bottles.
Get you through the winter season, the cold season, the flu season.
40% off a 90-day supply right now at thealexjonesstore.com.
That's just one of the great products.
We got the Hydro Force drink mix that is also so important for your just daily health regimen.
And don't forget as well, you want to talk about deficiency.
So many people are iodine deficient.
Survival Shield X2 is back in stock and on sale at InfoWarsStore.com.
So two great places to take care of your health.
TheAlexJonesStore.com and InfoWarsStore.com.
Survival Shield X2 nascent iodine back in stock and on sale for a limited time.
These two things are just necessary for your...
And of course, your support there keeps us on the air.
All right, let's go to the question Tom Tillis asks, RFK Jr., are you a conspiracy theorist?
Powerful opening statement that every American should listen to and support from R.O.K. Jr. Clip 9. Chairman Grapeau, Ranking Member Wyden, and members of this distinguished committee, I'm humbled to be sitting here today as President Trump's nominee.
I oversee the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
I want to thank President Trump for entrusting me to deliver on his promise to make America healthy again.
I also want to thank Cheryl and Kick and Bobby and all my other children who are here today and all the many members of my large extended family for the love that they have so generously shared.
Ours has always been a family that has been involved in public service, and I look forward to continuing that tradition.
My journey into the issue of health began with my career as an environmental attorney, working with hunters and fishermen and mothers in the small town in the Hudson Valley and along the Hudson River.
I learned very early on that human health and environmental Injuries are intertwined.
The same chemicals that kill fish make people sick also.
Today, Americans' overall health is in grievous condition.
Over 70% of adults and a third of children are overweight or obese.
Diabetes is 10 times more prevalent than it was during the 1960s.
Cancer among young people is rising by 1 or 2% a year.
Autoimmune diseases, neurodevelopmental disorders, Alzheimer's, asthma, ADHD, depression, addiction, and a host of other physical and mental health conditions are all on the rise, some of them exponentially.
The United States has worse health than any other developed nation, yet we spend more on health care, at least double, and in some cases triple, as other countries.
Last year we spent $4.8 trillion, not counting the indirect costs of missed work.
That's almost a fifth of GDP. It's tantamount to a 20% tax on the entire economy.
No wonder America has trouble competing with countries that pay a third of what we do for health and have better outcomes and a healthier workforce.
But I don't want to make this too much about money.
It's the human tragedy that moves us to care.
President Trump has promised to restore America's global strength and to restore the American dream, but he understands that we can't be a strong nation when our people are so sick.
A healthy person has a thousand dreams.
A sick person has only one.
Today, over half of our countrymen and women are chronically ill.
When I met with President Trump last summer, I discovered that he is more than just concerned for this tragic situation, but genuine care.
President Trump is committed to restoring the American dream, and 77 million Americans delivered a mandate to him to do just that, due in part to the embrace and elevation of the Make America Healthy Again movement.
This movement, led largely by Maha Moms from every state, and you can see many of them behind us today, and in the hallways and in the lobbies, is one of the most transcendent and powerful movements I've ever seen.
I promised President Trump that if confirmed, I will do everything in my power to put the health of Americans back on track.
I've been greatly heartened to discover a deep level of care among members of this committee to both Democrats and Republicans.
I came away from our conversations confident that we can put aside our divisions for the sake of a healthier America.
For a long time, the nation has been locked in a divisive healthcare debate about who pays.
When healthcare costs reach 20%, there are no good options, only bad ones.
Shifting the burden around between government and corporations and insurers and providers and families is like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
Our country will sink beneath a sea of desperation and debt if we don't change the course and ask why are healthcare costs so high in the first place?
The obvious answer is chronic disease.
The CDC says 90% of healthcare spending goes toward managing chronic disease, which hits lower-income Americans the hardest.
The President's pledge is not to make some Americans happy again, healthy again, but to make all of our people healthy again.
There is no single culprit in chronic disease, much as I have criticized certain industries and agencies.
President Trump and I understand that most of their scientists and experts genuinely care about American health.
Therefore, we will bring together all stakeholders in pursuit of this unifying goal.
Before I conclude, I want to make sure the committee is clear about a few things.
News reports have claimed that I'm anti-vaccine or anti-industry.
I worked for years to raise awareness about the mercury and toxic chemicals in fish, and nobody called me any fish.
And I believe that...
That vaccines play a critical role in healthcare.
All of my kids are vaccinated.
I've written many books on vaccines.
My first book in 2014. The first line of it is, I am not anti-vaccine.
And the last line is, I am not anti-vaccine.
Or am I the enemy of food producers?
American farms are the bedrock of our culture, of our politics, of our national security.
I was a 4-H kid.
And I spent my summer working on ranches.
I want to work with our farmers and food producers to remove burdensome regulations and unleash American ingenuity.
Maha simply cannot succeed without a partnership, a full partnership of American farmers.
In my advocacy, I've often disturbed the status quo.
By asking uncomfortable questions.
Well, I'm not going to apologize for that.
We have massive health problems in this country that we must face, honestly.
And the first thing I've done every morning for the past 20 years is to get on my knees and pray to God that he would put me in a position to end the chronic disease epidemic and to help America's children.
That's why I'm so grateful to President Trump for the opportunity to sit before you today and seek your support and partnership in this endeavor.
I will conclude with a promise.
The members of this committee, to the president, and to all the tens of millions of parents across America, especially the moms who have propelled this issue to center stage.
Should I be so privileged as to be confirmed, we will make sure our tax dollars support healthy foods.
We will scrutinize the chemical additives in our food supply.
We will remove financial conflicts of interest from our agencies.
We will create an honest, unbiased, gold standard science at HHS, accountable to the President, to Congress, and to the American people.
We will reverse the chronic disease epidemic.
And put the nation back on the road to good health.
Now, it's really hard to emphasize it's really hard to emphasize how important this actually is.
This isn't even political.
We're talking about the health of our nation, which is the sickest nation on earth.
And when I was just scrolling through some of these stories popping up about it today, comparing and contrasting the United States health issues to other countries, I was just stunned.
Even Venezuela ranks ahead of the United States in a lot of categories, including children's health.
So this shouldn't be a political thing.
And it's not a political thing.
It's a health thing.
But there's some fundamental things that have to be understood.
Take, for example, European food versus American food.
Now, if you've ever had an experience with, say, a foreign exchange student or just a foreign student at a university, specifically from Europe, but also from South American countries too, the one thing that they struggle with, and they don't even expect it until it happens, is weight gain.
And I've seen this multiple times.
I know people that this has happened with.
They come to America.
They don't change their diet too much, but it's just the ingredients in the food, they gain a bunch of weight.
They develop other chronic issues.
And it's all because of the ingredients we put in our food supply that they don't allow in Europe.
Kennedy briefly brought that up.
You can have the exact same product, at least same label, same brand, everything, same name.
But the ingredients will be different in Europe than they are in the United States.
It's our diet causing a lot of these issues.
And we can fix that.
It doesn't have to be that way.
We can fix that.
And he wants to fix that.
And he knows how to fix that.
And he's got people behind him with decades of research that are involved in helping fix that as well.
But okay, maybe you do get political here.
All of these people that want to talk about free healthcare, which is a myth, doesn't exist.
It's just a buzzword propaganda catchphrase that the left loves to use.
But what about affordable healthcare?
Well, maybe there's something there.
Affordable healthcare.
What do you think happens?
And this was really the most important message from Kennedy here.
What do you think happens when you have a nation of people who are chronically diseased?
When you have a nation...
Guys, what is the obesity rate in America?
See if you can get these numbers for me real quick.
Obesity rates or even childhood obesity rates.
What do you think that does to the healthcare system?
All these different chronic diseases, all these different health issues, obesity, everything else that leads to bad health.
What does that do to the actual healthcare system?
It bogs it down.
It weighs it down.
It makes it unaffordable for everybody.
And this idea, 41% obesity rate, according to the CDC. That is unsustainable.
I mean, that is unbelievable.
Aside from being unsustainable.
20% for children.
We have a problem.
We have a problem.
And then these are people that weigh down the system forever, and then you're told you have to pay for it.
No, let's fix the problem.
Let's get to the root cause of it, and let's fix it.
Here's a perfect example.
And by the way, anybody that knows nurses, and it's always a different situation, I guess, depending on where you work and the field, but I mean, you don't think nurses already work hard enough?
In fact, the joke was that during COVID, they worked the least, and that's why they were doing these videos, because the hospitals were empty.
They lied to you about that situation.
But we won't go down that road.
You don't think these emergency surgeons and nurses in emergency rooms working 18 hours a day, four or five days a week, you don't think they work enough?
Yeah, what do you think free healthcare does?
What do you think all these chronic diseased people being in the system, being in the hospital for weeks, constantly coming in, what do you think that does?
In fact, I would make a guess, because this is how it can be.
I would make a guess, And I'm a bit of a fitness freak.
I'm kind of addicted to it.
But I mean, I'm guessing nobody in my crew has been to a hospital.
I'm guessing if you combine this whole crew behind me, we probably got five people back there right now, probably add up all the days we've been in a hospital in the last 10 years, it's probably less than a month.
Now, that doesn't mean my crew is some obsessed health people, but they try to take care of themselves.
They'll exercise.
They'll try to eat healthy.
They try to live a healthy lifestyle.
So guess what?
We're not weighing down the hospital system.
And when people live healthy lives and they don't weigh down the medical care system, then you can open it up and make it more available and affordable.
So that's why this is such a key issue.
All right.
We've covered the RFK Jr. hearing.
I could talk about health issues all day long.
It is important to me, but it's important.
To the country, truly.
You can solve so many problems if you just get down to addressing the physical health and then ultimately that addresses the mental health too.
Quite frankly.
You balance the body out physically.
You can balance the body out mentally.
And then you don't have this issue of obesity and chronic diseases.
But we've covered that.
I gotta move on.
But it's a very important issue for me.
A lot of the people in the audience and...
RFK Jr. will be confirmed, and we will make America healthy again.
So here's Stephen Miller with Jake Tapper slicing and dicing in clip 18. According to President Trump in an interview, I think it was with Kristen Welker of NBC, was because of grocery prices.
Not the only reason, but a reason.
High prices, inflation, especially at the grocery.
The Department of Agriculture says that between 2020 and 2022, 42% of crop workers were undocumented immigrants.
And in many cases, as you know, these migrants do jobs many Americans do not want to do.
How do you, how does President Trump make sure that the effort to deport people who are not in this country legally doesn't end up hurting Americans who want safe borders, absolutely, but also don't want to see even more higher prices in groceries?
Well, I'm sure it's not your position, Jake, you're just asking the question, that we should supply America's food with exploitative, illegal alien labor.
I obviously don't think that's what you're implying.
Only 1% of alien workers in the entire country work in agriculture.
The top destination for illegal aliens are large cities like New York, like Los Angeles, and small industrial towns, of course, all across the heartland, as we've seen with the Biden flights.
None of those illegal aliens are doing farm work.
Those 30,000 legal aliens that Joe Biden dumped into Springfield?
The illegal aliens that Joe Biden brought into our country are not full stop doing farm work.
They are not.
The illegal aliens he brought in from Venezuela, from Haiti, from Nicaragua, they are not doing farm work.
They are in our cities collecting welfare.
As for the farmers, there is a guest worker program that President Trump supports.
Over time as well, we will transition into automation, so we'll never have to have this conversation ever again.
But there's no universe in which this nation is going to allow...
The previous president to flood our nation with millions and millions of illegal aliens who just get to stay here.
And we are especially not going to allow a subset of those illegal aliens to rape and murder our citizens.
So we are going to unapologetically enforce our immigration laws.
And as I'm sure you will celebrate, we are going to unleash the power and might of the U.S. government to eradicate the presence of transnational threats on our soil.
$1.7 billion in unauthorized payments to foreign organizations, including stopping more than $40 million that was on its way out the door to the very corrupt world health organization, which has not done its job and not done it properly.
We also.
We also blocked $45 million for diversity scholarships in Burma.
45, that's a lot of money for diversity scholarships in Burma.
You can imagine where that money went.
These were the types of payments and many others.
I could stand here all day and tell you things that we found, and we have to find them quickly because we want the money to flow to proper places.
Where is, tell me, where is Gaza getting helium to fill up condom balloons for dropping bombs?
What are they doing?
They're flying them over and then they're shooting them with like a P-gun?
What, do they have a bow and arrow?
A slingshot?
So the more I thought about this last night, I'm just thinking, none of this even makes sense.
$50 million of condoms?
Who's making that request?
Who's fulfilling this order?
Seriously.
And where are they getting the helium?
If they're floating them over targets, can they control the wind too?
Are they licking their fingers and saying, okay, the wind is blowing this degree south, southwest, and so we're going to launch our helium condom balloon over here, and we're going to...
We're going to shoot the pea shooter over the head of our target.
Yeah, well, I'm sorry.
I'm not buying any of this.
None of it makes sense.
Now, there might be something on paper.
There might be an order.
There might be a $50 million order for condoms for Gaza.
That might exist.
But none of it's adding, oh, we're using them for bomb balloons?
Where are you getting the helium?
A lot of people don't even tell.
There's massive helium shortages.
So somehow, though, they got access to helium, and Gaza's completely leveled, completely flattened.
It's a rubble zone, but they got helium!
And these masters of nature can fill these balloons and read the wind and then hit them with a bow and arrow or a rock with a slingshot right over their target.
And now, of course, the IDF has no defense for a condom bomb.
I mean, you know.
They are just completely befuddled on how to deal with the Gaza condom bombs.
So I'm sorry.
Something weird is going on with that.
I don't know what it is.
I can speculate.
It's not even worth it.
I'm not buying it.
That $50 million was spent on condoms.
I'm not buying it for condom bombs.
None of it makes sense.
None of it adds up.
And if they knew they were being used for condom bombs, then why would they send them?
And if all these images that we're seeing, and I don't know, some of these are obviously AI. Like, I don't know, is that real or not, guys?
So some of these images are apparently real.
Now, keep in mind, there's all kinds of war propaganda out there.
So even if these are real, it's likely war propaganda.
But if you believe that, again, I ask, where are they getting the helium?
I know that sounds stupid to ask.
It's really not.
It's really not.
So what is the real story with 50 million in condoms?
And how many condoms is that?
It's kind of like a funny little gag segment to look into this thing.
But I mean, seriously.
Something is simply off about that.
Something just don't make sense.
But, okay.
Aside from the goofiness, the absurdity of $50 million of condoms going to Gaza, the Department of Government Efficiency posted this last night.
Doge is saving the federal government approximately $1 billion a day, mostly from stopping the hiring of people into unnecessary positions, deletion of the diversity, equity, and inclusion training, and stopping improper payments to foreign organizations.
All consistent with the president's executive orders.
A good start.
This number needs to increase to about $3 billion a day.
Now, maybe you've dealt with this.
In fact, everybody has probably dealt with this somewhere.
Whether it was high school, where maybe you could argue there's space for it.
Or whether it was college, where by then it's just stupid, or maybe it was a workplace situation where you have to go and sit through some stupid seminar or go sit through some stupid PowerPoint presentation.
I remember it in college.
And it's funny because they made you do it at Mizzou.
I didn't have to do it ultimately where I transferred and graduated from, which is University of Missouri-St.
Louis, same system, but not Columbia, the bigger school.
But I remember, I went in there as a freshman, and you had to go sit through, like, a two-hour PowerPoint course about drugs and alcohol.
And it's like, you're sitting there, you're 18, 19 years old, and you're like, this is just the dumbest thing ever.
But, oh, you gotta do it!
It's a waste of time, it's a waste of money.
And then you had to sit through another one about social inclusion and...
Social issues and race issues and, you know, oh, gay and religion and all this stuff.
And you're sitting there, you're 18, 19 years old, and you're like, I don't give a rat's ass.
Just get me through this crap.
So I can go hang out with my friends of all different races and religions.
And drink a beer.
But so, probably everybody's been through that at some point.
Yeah.
Guys, remember when you got hired at Infowars and we had to sit through the diversity, equity, and inclusion class?
Yeah, you sit into the conference room and Alex Jones comes in and he's like, hey, you need to be more respectful of black people than gay people.
Yeah, I'm just joking.
That obviously never happened.
Because we don't have time for that here.
We do serious stuff here.
We work here.
We value our time here.
We're not wasting time.
So yeah, okay, a dare course in elementary school or, you know, maybe a course here or there even in high school, I could say, well, okay, you know, yeah, maybe.
In college, waste of time, waste of resources, all government funded, and then they bring it into these.
So you get hired, you're a diversity hire or any hire, and a government job, and you have to sit through hours of seminars talking about racial inclusion, Sexual inclusion, religious inclusion,
and it's likely some big fat ass up there teaching you this, can't even fit into their, they have to wear sweats or spandex because they can't fit into clothes, or it's some rainbow-haired queer, gender-confused queer, and you're sitting there listening to this lunatic, so they cut that.
We have informed the federal workforce, which they've looked to do for many years, that if they're working for the federal government, they must show up to the office on time and on schedule.
So we don't want them to work from home because, as everyone knows, most of the time they're not working.
They're not very productive.
And it's unfair to the millions of people in the United States who are, in fact, working hard from job sites and not from their home.
As federal employees, they must meet a high standard.
They're representing our government.
They're representing our country.
If they don't agree by February 6th to show up back to work.
In their office, they will be terminated and we will therefore be downscaling our government, which is something that the last 10 presidents have tried very hard to do but failed.
Most of the people we're talking about have not been going to their federal offices in many, many years, from even before COVID. But they have nevertheless been paid.
Some have worked, some haven't worked.
Most of the studies say that some have just gone through the motions.
We may ask these people to prove that they didn't have another job during their so-called employment with the United States of America, because if they did, that would be unlawful, as you understand.
A lot of people are getting paychecks, but they're actually working other jobs, so they'll have to prove that to us, that they weren't.
In any event, we're requiring them to show up to work or be terminated.
We think a very substantial number of people will not show up to work, and therefore our government will get smaller and more efficient, and that's what we've been looking to do for many, many decades, frankly.
Now, actually, Trump has gone a step further here.
President Trump offers to buy out...
All federal workers with eight months pay.
Trump administration offering buyouts to nearly all federal workers.
The Trump administration announced Tuesday that it is offering buyouts to all federal employees who opt to leave their jobs by next week.
An unprecedented move to shrink the U.S. government at breakneck speed.
A memo from the Office of Personnel Management.
The government's Human Resources Agency also said it would begin subjecting all federal employees to enhanced standards of sustainability and conduct and ominously warned of future downsizing.
The email sent to millions of employees said those who leave their posts voluntarily will receive about eight months of salary.
Well, I can't say I completely agree with this idea because I don't think they should see a dime, but...
Yeah, you got to accept the wins and the losses.
And so I'll take the win of shrinking government even if we do have to pay these lazy government workers that don't want to show up.
And it will ultimately serve the purpose that we would like.
And they're expecting 10% of federal employees to take this and leave their jobs.
So yeah, it'll cost in the short term, but it'll save in the long term.
So again, it's like, do we really want to pay them to quit and just fire them for free?
Maybe give them two weeks, a month.
Trump being generous.
So I'm sure we'll be hearing the success of this plan in the coming days and weeks.
Now on the border issue...
Trump wants to repurpose Guantanamo Bay for the violent illegal immigrants.
An executive order to instruct the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to begin preparing the 30,000-person migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay.
Most people don't even know about it.
We have 30,000 beds in Guantanamo.
To detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people.
Some of them are so bad we don't even trust the countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back, so we're going to send them out to Guantanamo.
This will double our capacity immediately, right?
And tough.
unidentified
That's a tough place to get out of.
In-Good-Standing Citizens Face Deportation00:15:28
Today's signings bring us one step closer to eradicating the scourge of migrant crime in our communities once and for all.
And it was just a purely, it's just an unforced error that we even have to be doing this.
Now we need Congress to provide full funding for the complete and total restoration of our sovereign borders, as well as financial support to remove record numbers of illegal aliens.
And these are illegal alien killers, criminals at levels that nobody's ever seen before.
And you would have known that, and you were there when I said it.
I said, everybody that's bad is going to be thrown.
A couple more stories with the border and the illegal immigrants here.
Oh, actually, though, we have Lake and Riley's mother, though, don't we?
Let's actually play that clip, and I'll cover these other headlines.
So Trump signed the Lake and Riley Act into law today.
He brought her mother up to speak at this presidential address.
And so here was Lakin Riley's mother.
unidentified
Thank you.
Thank you, Trump.
We would like to thank Senator Katie Britt for her diligent bipartisan work to get this bill through the Senate.
We'd also like to thank Congressman Mike Collins for his unwavering passion and for leading.
On the Lakin Riley Act from the start, our family will forever be grateful for the prayers of the people across our nation and for helping to get this legislation into law.
We also want to thank President Trump for the promises he made to us.
He said he would secure our borders and that he would never forget about Lakin.
And he's a man of his word.
We trust that he will fight for the American people.
Most importantly, I want to thank our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, because without his sacrifices, Lakin's story would have ended on that horrific day that she was taken from us.
But because of him, we can continue living, knowing that we will see Lakin again.
There's no amount of change that will ever bring back our precious Lakin.
Our hope moving forward is that her life saves lives.
We're so thankful that her passion for helping others and her legacy for doing good in the name of Jesus Christ will carry on.
So, unlike the fake liberal tears of Selena Gomez saying we've deported her people, those were real tears from the mother of a young girl who was brutalized and killed by an illegal immigrant.
Or I guess we should call them Selena Gomez's people.
I guess those are her people.
According to her, they're deporting her people.
So violent rapists and murderers are Selena Gomez's people.
Weird thing to say.
But those are real tears.
That's real emotion.
From a mother that's actually dealt with the real world.
Not like some billionaire who's been taken care of since she was a teenager.
That's the real world.
That's the real impact of open borders.
Now we have some incredible numbers.
President Trump posted this on his Truth Social account.
Daily encounters of undocumented migrants without repatriations and returns to Mexico in January 2025. Now, if you look, obviously there was a bum rush to the border here before Biden left office for obvious reasons, knowing the policies that would be changing.
And before Trump was inaugurated, the day before Trump was inaugurated, You had more than 2,500 encounters of undocumented migrants without repatriations.
So in other words, 2,500 illegal immigrants crossing the border on Biden's final day in office.
On Trump's first day in office, that number was down to 43. 43. And these liars...
We've got to open that aperture up, which we're going to do.
It was a great start.
The first week was unprecedented.
I mean, the illegal crossings on the border one day was like 540. I've never seen that, and I started on the border until 1984. And we went from 10,000 a day to under 600. So it's great.
It's good.
But we're not finished.
We need more deportations, a lot more deportations, and that's what we're working on.
Let's see what happens with the sanctuary cities phenomenon.
I believe it will be addressed by Trump.
And it's really not a difficult thing.
I mean, it's staring us right in the face.
Defund.
Defund the sanctuary cities because they will be broke immediately without federal funding.
They run at a deficit.
The Democrat states that they're in also run at a deficit.
If they don't have the federal money, they go broke.
They go into the red immediately.
That's the reality of the situation.
You cut the federal funding, you'll end the sanctuary cities overnight.
So I think that's inevitable.
And perhaps Holman, I mean, he's been out on the streets involved with these raids and deportations.
I don't even know if he's really had the time to kind of update Trump, who's been busy as well, with what needs to be done next.
That, I believe, is inevitable.
Defunding sanctuary cities is inevitable, or they're going to have to at least threaten it.
Sanctuary city.
It's just a ridiculous concept.
Sanctuary for criminals, says Democrat policymakers.
We're going to have sanctuary for criminals in our cities.
These people are nuts.
And then here's what happens.
In your sanctuary city like New York, illegal immigrant busted on Long Island for trying to lure 11-year-old girl into his car with candy.
Illegal immigrants trying to lure children into their vehicles with candy.
God knows what they wanted to do with them.
That's what happens in sanctuary cities.
Alright, a couple more border issues to cover here.
And then I'm going to try to pile drive through the rest of these news headlines with some of the things Trump is getting into.
This is just, again, it's the same thing they did at the Associated Press.
And this is really what these leftists believe.
The only thing you're entitled to as an American is to suffer and have your money stolen from you and to be invaded and crushed.
It's the only thing they actually intellectually believe in.
Here's more proof.
Mexico.
Oh, we're going to be deporting.
Most of them don't even go back to Mexico, but that's not even the point.
Oh, we're deporting criminal aliens, illegal border crossers into their home countries, but they can't deal with it.
They can't deal with the influx.
They can't cope with all of these people coming in.
It's funny how that logic doesn't go both ways.
unidentified
Listen to this in clip 7. As much as she wants to embrace them, to use her word, when they come back and make them feel welcome, it all sounds very nice when you're listening to it, but the reality of that is just completely unsustainable.
A lot of these people have lived in the U.S. for decades.
They have lives there.
They have families.
They're good-standing citizens.
So they're not in a position to just be deported and say, like, oh, OK, well, I'm just going to come back here and take a job.
I'm not sure any foreign country can deal with this influx of people.
What about us?
We're supposed to be able to deal with it?
We're supposed to fund it?
Again, do you understand the mindset of these liberals?
America has to pay for the entire world's problems.
America is to blame for all the world's problems, and so we have to suffer and pay, and you, the American, you have to pay for all the world's problems.
Every other country on Earth, no way they could sustain this invasion.
Every other country on Earth, no way they could sustain the costs and everything else that comes with Taking on this influx of people.
But America, it's your duty.
You must bear that burden.
You, the American, must pay that price.
I'm sorry.
No.
No.
Actually, it's the United States that has probably done more for the rest of the world.
And it's the United States that gives out more foreign aid than the rest of the world combined.
But somehow that's our burden.
And even though they admit no other country could sustain this, but somehow we're supposed to.
So, we're deporting citizens according to this absolute clown.
Go ahead.
unidentified
Sounds very nice when you're listening to it, but the reality of that is just completely unsustainable.
A lot of these people have lived in the U.S. for decades.
They have lives there.
They have families.
They're good-standing citizens.
So they're not in a position to just be deported and say, like, oh, okay, well, I'm just going to come back here and take a job making a fraction of what I... They're good-standing citizens.
I mean, look, I think if you came here illegally and you know you did it, you know you broke the law, you know, you have to understand it's a new day in America.
And number two, I still think the case for total economic collapse, if we have some deportation, Is totally overstated.
unidentified
I mean, it's obviously going to be proven, so that's good.
If I didn't know any better, I'd think they were doing it intentionally to make Democrats look stupid.
But no, they're not.
They're real.
These are real people.
How about this one?
Out of Chicago.
We got a couple crazy stories out of Chicago.
Oh, judges are just releasing illegal immigrant criminals back on the street.
So now it's reached this point, and this is why ICE has to do this.
And this is why they have to open Guantanamo Bay.
Folks, ICE has limited capacity right now.
And they can go make arrests and they can make apprehensions.
They need cooperation from local enforcement as well.
That's why Holman is saying with these sanctuary cities, it's like we're up against a wall because most of the illegal immigrants are in sanctuary cities.
And they can make an arrest and they can apprehend somebody, but when they send them through the courts, they just release them back on the streets.
So now they're saying, okay, well, we've got to send him to Guantanamo.
We've got to do something else because we try to work with these Democrat cities, these sanctuary cities, and all the effort we put in to arrest somebody, a violent criminal, they release them back on the streets.
unidentified
Listen to this report out of Chicago, clip 20. One of the Venezuelan migrants swept up in immigration raids around Chicago this weekend is about to walk out of federal jail any minute and return to his girlfriend and her parents in the suburbs.
Some of these cases have been sealed, but the I-team was in federal court as Edward Martinez Cerminho stepped before a judge and pleaded his case for release.
Walking the halls of Chicago's federal court building, Maria and Ruben are still trying to shake off the trauma of Sunday night.
Much like these raids across the country, the Venezuelan couple says immigration agents stormed their Schaumburg home.
Speaking only in Spanish, Maria told our Michelle Gallardo.
She said, they were pointing their guns at me and my husband.
They knocked him to the ground.
Federal agents carried out Maria's daughter's boyfriend, 24-year-old Edward Martinez Sarmiento.
Cook County court records show Chicago police arrested Edward Martinez-Cerminho for a felony retail theft in January 2024, and he failed to appear for court, triggering a warrant for his arrest.
As Martinez-Cerminho stood in federal court Tuesday, White House officials were driving home President Trump's message.
If you are an individual, a foreign national, who illegally enters the United States of America, you are, by definition, a criminal.
Martinez-Cermino's police record reflects a non-violent criminal charge, not a conviction.
And with a pending court date and asylum hearing set for April 2026, the judge ordered Martinez-Cermino released immediately.
Because when you're stealing from somebody, you're taking away from their physical labor, their work.
You're stealing from them.
So I actually think that qualifies as violent crime.
If you could scale it, maybe you'd be towards the bottom if you don't actually hurt an individual physically.
But that's not even the point.
So they're trying to suck us into this trap.
And it's hard not to fall into it.
But Americans have been abused by the legal system for far too long.
We've been abused by political persecution for four years under Joe Biden.
And so some of this, you just can't help it, it's human nature, is to cheer and say, yeah, how come people that break the law live here illegally and they get released, but for your politics, you're going to get destroyed, you're going to get crushed, you're going to be persecuted, you're going to be imprisoned.
So some of it is this trap that they're trying to set for us to...
They respond and backlash almost as if it's a vengeful thing.
But that's not even fair to say.
They broke the law.
They came here illegally.
They know they did it.
And there's an old legal cliche, don't break the law when you're breaking the law.
So, applying to this situation, if you're in the country illegally, maybe you shouldn't commit a crime.
You know?
If you're here illegally, staying here illegally, you know that's the case.
Maybe don't go commit a crime and ping yourself on law enforcement's radar.
But, oh, no.
You're supposed to be heartbroken by this.
You're supposed to say, no, we can't do deportations.
It's inhumane.
Well, do we have laws or not?
Do we have sovereignty or not?
Do we have equal application of the law or not?
That's the fundamental question here, no matter how you feel about people getting arrested or deported.
But see, they always humanize that for their political agenda.
But you were raided, guns drawn, raided by the FBI just for walking on the grass during January 6th.
You were guns drawn, raided or persecuted or imprisoned because you protested abortion.
No, they don't humanize that.
January 6th, defendants getting shot by law enforcement barely even makes the news.
But, oh, an illegal immigrant commits a crime, might be deported, and oh my gosh, start crying and just realize how devastating this is for you.
Just, oh, you can't even barely handle it.
One more thing out of Chicago here.
You know that old...
Hag Tiffany Henyard, who is making all kinds of headlines and all kinds of accusations being levied against her.
This is insane.
So she's still running that city, Tiffany Henyard, but they have a new trustee involved with the city's expenses because they think she was up to something illegal.
Thornton Township, right outside of Chicago's first meeting with new trustee, devolves into brawl.
This woman is out of control.
Dalton Mayor Tiffany Henyard throws herself into brawl between boyfriend and activist at heated town board meeting.
Just roll some of this B-roll, guys.
21 through 23. Whatever you want.
So it's the same story.
They get up there during these hearings, the citizens, and they call her out for her bad leadership.
They call her out about all the funds and where they went.
Now it's devolved.
Into fisticuffs and fights.
And she's even throwing herself into them.
That's Democrat Party leadership.
That's the strong leadership of Tiffany Henyard.
She should have resigned a long time ago, but after this, it just shows it's all about her.
It just shows that all she cares about is herself.
All she cares about is feeling prestigious and having access to that purse.
If she had any integrity at all, if she had just an ounce, just a sliver of integrity, she would resign after this.
Because it's only going to get worse from here.
Mark my words, if she doesn't resign, it will get worse.
Guarantee it.
Guarantee it, ladies and gentlemen.
And it's already, I mean, there's already been crazy accusations made about drive-by shootings and other stuff.
So, I mean, you think this is a game?
Something really bad is going on.
And it's all because of her, but she won't resign.
And now there's fights at these city council hearings.
All right.
There's so much news yet to cover.
We need to make sure we have funds into the future.
And the best way to do that is to become a member of the Alex Jones VIP Club.
Now, there's a lot of exciting things.

Everything we do here is free to view.
So, I mean, we do this because we actually believe it.
We actually want to save the country.
A lot of people will sell a monthly membership just to get access to content for $30 a month.
We don't do that.
That's kind of your way to say, hey, I want to be a member, and then we give you more benefits at thealexjonesstore.com slash VIP. So we appreciate all of our VIPs taking advantage of that, and we hope that the VIP club just continues to grow, as it has.
So thank you.
All right.
Let's look at some of these other...
We got statements from Trump.
We got other headlines.
Most recent, this just came down, the pipeline from Trump, just an hour or so ago.
Because Jay Powell and the Fed failed to stop the problem they created with inflation, I will do it by unleashing American energy production, slashing regulation, rebalancing international trade, and reigniting American manufacturing.
But I will do much more than stop inflation.
I will make our country financially and otherwise powerful again.
The Fed has done a terrible job on bank regulation.
Treasury is going to lead the effort to cut unnecessary regulation.
And we'll unleash lending for all American people and businesses.
If the Fed had spent less time on DEI, gender ideology, and green energy with fake climate change, inflation would have never been a problem.
Instead, we suffered from the worst inflation in the history of our country.
So, okay, getting into the energy seems to be Trump's next agenda.
It will definitely be necessary.
He also posted this last evening.
Panama, with great speed, is attempting to take down 64% of signs which are written in Chinese.
They are all over the zone because China controls the Panama Canal.
Panama is not going to get away with this.
Showdown in the Panama Canal soon?
China will be forced to back down.
My guess is China will just cut its losses and just be like, wow, I mean, we just...
We just took advantage of this situation for years and Trump's going to come in and fix it and they'll probably just say, oh yeah, okay, that was like free money for them.
They're just eating our lunch for years on that deal.
But I think that's kind of next up in the pipeline too.
So I think Trump's next big agenda items are going to be the energy issues and then the Panama Canal, however he wants to handle that.
Judge blocks Trump freeze on federal grants and loans until Monday.
Letitia James enters the frame again.
Announces lawsuit against President Trump over freeze of federal grants and loans.
It looks like my best understanding of this, they were trying to target the NGOs, specifically the NGOs that are running the illegal immigration pipeline.
Which we don't have running anymore, so why would you need to fund them?
They get hundreds of billions of dollars.
But it was kind of opaque and vague, and these federal grants, they like lump it all into the same thing, so you think you're just targeting this, but then it ends up targeting a bunch of other stuff.
So they kind of trapped it.
And that's what, it was done intentionally by the Biden administration.
And they make all these claims.
That, hey, funding this illegal immigration falls into all these different departments that also happen to might be Medicare or Medicaid or federal grants or college loans and stuff like this.
And they just put it into this thing.
And so Trump says, hey, we're going to cut the funding to these NGOs.
And then he just kind of slashes the whole thing, causes chaos and confusion.
Then he pulls out and says, okay, we have to go more direct on this approach.
That's my best interpretation of it.
But they do that intentionally.
The Democrats do it intentionally.
It's kind of like omnibus legislation where they just amass these massive funding campaigns and then use it for their agenda, but they give themselves cover of funding by putting it under the same stipulations that things that might be more supported or might be necessary, like Medicaid, like federal grants.
And then underneath it is all the NGOs running the illegal immigration.
And so then you slash it and they say, oh no, what have you done?
So they kind of had to reverse it and then they're going to have to reinvestigate a way to cut off all of these NGOs from being funded.
But why would they still get the funding?
The illegal immigration pipeline is over.
Former USDA inspector general defies Trump order.
She had to be escorted.
Out of her office.
Phyllis Fong.
She had to be escorted.
Goodbye.
USDA Inspector General escorted out of her office after defying White House.
I wonder if she had anything to do with killing all of those chickens that caused the egg prices to skyrocket.
I wonder if old Phyllis Fong had anything to do with that.
No, when Trump says, you're fired!
You better get the hell out.
I wonder if she, do you think she was like clinging to her desk, like scratching at the floor, making a big scene of it?
I kind of like to see that.
All right, remember yesterday had the Trump executive order protecting children from chemical and surgical mutilation, stopping the trans kid agenda.
Obviously should have never even existed.
Well, Trump made this statement.
After the executive order last night, he said, My order directs agencies to use every available means to cut off federal financial participation in institutions which seek to provide these barbaric
medical procedures that should have never been allowed to take place.
And now it's time to really move forward with policy to punish any doctors that will do this in the future.
It needs to be federal law.
There needs to be a bill and there needs to be federal law.
And this stuff needs to stop.
And you should do years in prison, 50 years, maybe life in prison, if you genitally mutilate a child.
Let's get serious.
Now, these are the types of people fighting against this.
Tell me if you notice anything about this parent that claims two of her children.
Are on gender-denying care.
They call it gender-affirming care.
Let's not play these games anymore.
Let's not play under the liberal false language narrative paradigm.
It's gender-denying care is what it is.
So here, what do you notice about this parent speaking at a city council about gender, her children on gender-denying care in clip 19?
unidentified
Morning, Madam Chairwoman and members of the committee.
They will fake things just like Jussie Smollett did.
So I can't buy a damn word that this woman or man is saying here.
And my heart actually breaks that some deranged person is blaming all the issues on her kid.
Alright, we are now doing our second January 6th defendant political prisoner profile piece.
I guess maybe third, but we won't count myself.
So we had Enrique Tarrio earlier this week, and we're going to be joined by another individual that was politically persecuted.
And we're going to hear their stories.
We're going to hear their accounts of the events, everything they went through legally.
And these are, to me, this is a story that gets a lot of attention, but not the proper attention.
These are political prisoners.
These were people who were politically persecuted in their home country.
In their home country, that's a big deal in the United States of America.
And so we will be doing these profile pieces, and I just remind my audience of what I said the day that they were pardoned.
I couldn't be more proud.
I was talking to some other January 6th defendants today.
We got more lined up to come on the show.
I couldn't be more proud about how this situation has been handled.
With nothing but grace and nothing but class, these are people that many of them had their lives...
Completely upended, destroyed, couldn't even see the burrs of their children, veterans that gave everything to this country, politically persecuted and imprisoned, and they've done nothing but handled this situation with grace and class and patriotism.
So, joining me now is Tyler Etheridge, and this is just another individual recently released from his political imprisonment.
Been nothing but patriotic and classy since the release.
So, Tyler, why don't you tell my audience your story?
You can briefly get into the events that you witnessed, experienced on January 6th, and then the legal battles afterwards.
Michael Labyrinth, who is the son of the praying grandma, Rebecca Labyrinth.
And just to kind of give a background of what we were doing leading up to that point of being invited, my wife and I were joining Revival Today Church, which we moved to Pittsburgh to be a part of right now.
They do an annual fast, a 21-day fast.
So I was fasting and praying leading up to January 6th, which doesn't fit the narrative of an insurrectionist, but here we are.
Got the invitation, and he was the same person that invited me to the Million Maga March.
So I was like, okay, it's going to be exactly like that.
Well, it wasn't exactly like that.
We showed up late to Trump's speech, and we were all the way back at the Washington Monument.
I could barely hear him, and he was really saying the same things he was saying leading up to that point, how the election's being stolen.
And so I was kind of there as like a citizen journalist, as a minister.
I've been in the ministry for 10 years leading up to that point, just kind of sharing on-the-ground information with my following on social media platforms.
And we actually left Trump's speech early.
I was like, hey, let's go look at what's going on at the Capitol.
So we left early.
We started heading towards the Capitol.
And again, it felt like exactly like the Million Maga March.
Now, disclaimer, I was very naive throughout this whole process.
Even that day, I was very naive.
Didn't know half of the things you guys know.
So I just assumed it was like the Million Maga March.
I'm walking towards the Capitol, and all of a sudden, there was this moment where a man dressed in all black.
Make the accusation, speculation that he was Antifa.
There was a feud that broke out.
And between Trump supporters, I call them Americans.
It was Americans broke out with a feud with this guy dressed in all black.
And that's when, in that moment, Owen, I felt like something's about to happen.
Now, in my sphere, we call that an unction.
An inward knowing, a witness.
I just felt inside myself like something bad is about to happen.
So I grabbed my friend's son and we ran towards the first barriers.
And that's, of course, we all know what happened at the first barriers.
Well, I was right there.
I was what Alex talks about.
I was at the tip of the spear.
It was very docile in the beginning.
Then all of a sudden, you know, people just kept coming.
People kept coming as people kept coming.
Tensions rose up.
And then all of a sudden, like a cattle shoot, or like you see behind me, a bison.
It's like a bison stampede.
Everyone just started going over the barriers.
I was one of those people.
And that's when the adrenaline that I felt was similar to my football background, where it's like, it felt like I was playing in a state championship all over again.
Is that like what we saw with they took over a Seattle government building, and I think there was another one in Portland, Oregon, and it was Democrats, it was leftists that said, we're just going to stay here and protest and occupy this area.
But then all of a sudden, you know, I'm doing the millennial thing.
I'm recording videos of myself, some insurrectionist I am.
I'm recording myself saying, this is amazing.
This is crazy.
This is awesome.
What's going on?
And all of a sudden, pow, I get shot around my crotch area by rubber bullets.
Thankfully, it didn't hit the goods, but it hit around me.
That sobers you up.
And then the second time I got shot right in the kneecap, and that felt like fire.
And that's when they started to pepper spray us.
And that's for me personally, that's when kind of the adrenaline wore off.
And I sobered up.
Let's put it that way.
So immediately after that, I went on top of the media scaffolding that you're showing right there.
I met Jacob Chansley.
He let me hold his spear.
I held his spear out.
It was just a kind of a monumental moment for me, again, as a pastor, someone who's about to be a pastor, who's observing and witnessing something I've never experienced.
I'm only 36 years old, but I'm witnessing the people we elected certify an election that was fraudulent, that was stolen.
So after the media scaffolding, I got a text message from my friend.
I had lost him since then.
And he was like, hey man, it's getting kind of dicey.
Let's get out of here.
So I go off the media scaffolding and I want to share this testimony because this is what I believe January 6th truly was.
There was this moment where I went down the media scaffolding and I'm walking towards the Ulysses S. Grant statue.
As I'm walking down that hill to meet my friend, I see this middle-aged woman with her children.
And they looked about several years older than my daughter.
I've got two daughters, Petra's six, Bailey's three.
They looked like they were about 10, 11, 12, 13. She had them locked in her arms, and her face had a face of determination.
She was walking towards all of the chaos as I was walking away from it.
To me, that is a representation.
That's a type and shadow of really what I truly believe January 6th was.
Well, it's a fair question to ask, and I mean, at this point, anybody that's still denying what happened in the 2020 election is just not being honest or hasn't done the research.
But I have a limited amount of time with you, so I want to direct some specific questions your way here.
And I also want to emphasize this.
You know, this is kind of the first time we're ever hearing some of these stories.
People like you have been sitting in prisons.
Other people have basically had gags or chilling on their speech, afraid to talk about this because of other potential ramifications or even sitting on probation.
So, I mean, this is the first time we're even hearing a lot of these accounts.
A couple things I want to kind of direct questions towards and just put a couple things into context.
First would be, nobody talks about the crowd size.
I mean, there were probably over a million people in D.C. that day.
You couldn't even get anywhere near Trump's speech.
It was such a large crowd at the Ellipse that you were just like, okay, well, let's move to the Capitol.
Let's not forget it was the season of protest.
We witnessed leftist protesters burn entire cities to the ground for an entire summer.
And then they even occupied government buildings and Capitol buildings for months at a time.
So, again, I'm doing this because these people deserve the time to tell their story.
I have a bit of an affiliation, obviously, being a January 6th defendant myself.
But these men haven't been heard from, many of them for months or years, because of their imprisonment.
Their side of the story, their testimonies have all been kept under secrecy by the federal government.
And then the chilling of speech that happens, even if they do finish their sentences, because they're afraid of retribution.
But they're free now, they have their pardons, so they are also free to speak.
So we're going to be doing a lot of these profiles.
So joining me now is Nick Oaks.
And, Nick, I'll do the same thing that we're doing with all the other January 6th defendants here.
We give you the platform to basically tell your side of the events from that day and then the legal process that you had to go through as political punishment for being there that day.
So you go ahead and choose how you'd like to begin.
We don't get a lot of love from the media, even today, and it means something, you know, because everyone who's in this has been going through this for years, and even if somebody had tossed them a bone and let them on their show, mostly folks' honesty has been limited because you can't even say emotionally what the truth is for you due to that being remarked that's about to be led back in court.
You know what I mean?
It's not even just coming out and saying, I'm not sorry, but if you try to add a just...
I bid a balance to it.
That's literally counted against you and can very directly translate into more time in prison.
So we appreciate this.
But I mean, I got a bit of a unique case.
So I'm the guy that's innocent without a pardon.
I beat the case.
Me and my co-defendant, I believe, are alone in that vote.
And the reason we beat our case is the only charge that I had was 1512C. And that is the charge that was thrown out by the Supreme Court.
So I was out of prison a bit earlier.
I got out the day before the election and was fully vacated, which means unconvicted.
I'm literally an ex-con, and that's a strange place to be in this whole thing.
Well, I think that we are gaining a lot of momentum, and maybe we might call it the new MAGA conservative would maybe be the best way to kind of quantify this.
There is some momentum right now behind criminal justice reform.
And I am very much in support of this.
You, like myself, have actually now seen behind the curtains of what needs to be fixed.
You've been victimized by a system that motivates incarceration rates and conviction rates instead of justice.
It's a very lonely corner of the courtroom to be in when you have that realization.
Very empty feeling to have that.
And so I think that there is some momentum being gained there.
Let me get back on topic, though, with you.
What happened?
What is your side of the story from January 6th itself?
Well, I'll tell you what, because I've had to deal with multiple legal battles, too.
I always say the same thing to my lawyers.
You know, you hire these lawyers, and it really is a different age entirely now.
Even lawyers that have, you know, maybe gone into the political world before.
But it was always the same thing where my lawyers would go in with a certain expectation based on precedent or past, you know, prior cases, and they'd say, okay, this is going to be the outcome.
And then every time you go through the process, I can't tell you how many times I've heard this from the different lawyers I've had.
Wow, I've never seen that before.
You know, every single time that we go through the legal trials, it's, wow, I've never seen that before.
It's like, yeah, you're looking at outright political persecution.
And they went into it maybe thinking it doesn't exist, obviously feeling different about it now.
So it sounds to me like you were amongst the first people there on the ground that actually ended up in the Capitol.
I made a decision early on in this thing to not shut up, and so some quotes are read back in court, but frankly, I think they're always going to smash me.
And that was the right decision.
Takedly political.
I mean, they don't care and they didn't have to hide it.
There was absolutely no pressure.
I mean, usually a judge would provide some sort of pushback, no matter what the case, you know, murder, drugs, whatever, on the prosecution.
They don't get everything without question.
It's not meant to work that way.
But because this was obviously different, they could do whatever they wanted.
And for the legal thing that really was so profoundly different, there's many of them, but...
The prosecution uses the absolute worst possible characterization of any action or thought or motivation or what you did or might have done.
You're not supposed to do that.
That's actually against the rules.
They're supposed to be fair-minded, but obviously there's wiggle room there.
But they've wiggled into a whole new legal area that I don't believe has ever happened in this country before.
I didn't see anything too astounding, to be honest with you.
I will tell you that the mood outside was somewhat more adversarial than the mood inside.
My paperwork says I was in there for, I think, 38 minutes.
We walked in.
We filmed.
We didn't stick around.
We saw what we saw and then went and got, you know, pizza and some beer.
But inside was not a fight.
People were enjoying, smiling, walking in the barriers like you saw.
That's an accurate bit of footage that shows you the mood in there.
You know, my big terrible moment was I smoked a cigarette inside the Capitol, which, yeah, I did, you know.
They never got me for the smoking violation, but everything else.
That was how it was in there.
Because this was, after so many years of not just frustration, but absolutely being on the wrong side of things in the most unfair and just grievous way, these middle American people had a moment.
And it's, again, these are stories that I think now we can highlight, talking about criminal justice reform, BOP reform, where, you know, some of the other guys that might get unjustly sentenced for the ghost drugs, the ghost dope charges that they get now, or other nonviolent crimes that people spend years in prison for, you just don't hear their stories, because there's not really the human interest there, there's not the political interest there.
Now, with these thousands of political prisoners, you're starting to hear about these conditions.
You're starting to hear about some of these treatments.
And I do think there can be real momentum behind criminal justice and BOP reform.
It has to be done.
I mean, it absolutely has to be done.
The situation in these prisons, especially with nonviolent offenders rotting away, missing the birth of their kids.
I mean, I don't know if you care to describe what that is like.
You know, it's crazy you say that because it seems so antithetical when you think about prisoners, right?
But until you see it yourself, it's hard to explain.
From my experience, I would say most of the guys in the system didn't belong there.
We're talking about nonviolent offenders.
Now, when you're in a low, every once in a while, there's a guy that's worked his way down through his sentences.
Every once in a while, there's a person that does belong in there.
They'll even admit it, committing violent crimes, robbery, stuff like that.
And they'll admit that they belong in there.
They got caught.
But a lot of these are just ghost dope charges.
There's some very small financial charges.
People in there that were basically trying to stand up to the corrupt medical system, that they get hit with some strange obscurity in a medical crime.
They end up spending years and they can't get out.
I mean, you hear the craziest stories and you realize, yeah, most of these guys probably don't even belong in there.
And I think that once, and maybe with the January 6th testimonies, once people really grasp that, because it's a hard thing to think it's that corrupt.
It's a hard thing to think that until you've actually been inside and seen it.
And I mean, it's literally, I mean, it's literally dads and grandpas sitting around watching TV. Like, wouldn't even harm a fly.
Most of them probably have more integrity than you go out and meet a liberal on the street.
Probably have more integrity than a street liberal.
So, you know, maybe these stories can shed a little light and get a little momentum, but the motivation for conviction and incarceration in the system has to change.
It has to be justice, and right now that just doesn't exist.
All right, so we're going to be hearing more of these stories, folks.
And I said it.
When I came out, I said criminal justice reform is going to be a major issue of mine.
And now the iron is hot.
And now we can bring a lot of light to these issues.
Now, I'm grateful that it's Wednesday, January 29, 2025, and Infowars is still on the air.
The legal battles are ongoing, but we are still on the air right now.
And we'd like to see that sustained in the future as the legal battle continues.

Cannot thank you enough.
You are keeping us in the fight and into the future.
God willing.
So that's where we're at.
Alright, I'm almost out of time here.
So we'll just have to carry over some of this news till tomorrow.
Donald Trump has asked Elon Musk and SpaceX to rescue the two astronauts.
That are stuck in space.
Literally, they were abandoned by the Biden administration.
One of the women up there looks like she's kind of falling ill.
So hopefully Musk and SpaceX can rescue those two astronauts, completely abandoned by the government.
Musk has said he will do that.
Musk has also insinuated he's going to be suing all the people that are calling him a Nazi and claiming he did a Nazi salute.
So we'll see if anything manifests from that.
Some other political developments.
Gary Peters, Democrat senator from Michigan, is not going to be pursuing re-election.
So there's another Senate seat that could be gained in the midterms.
Of course, Trump won Michigan.
But then they engage in shenanigans at the Senate level.
We saw that in the presidential election cycle.
But there will be opportunities for the Republicans to maintain the Senate and hopefully gain seats in the House.
But you've got to be watching it, and they've got to have election reform.
Otherwise, the Democrats are going to steal seats just like they did in the last election.
And we all witnessed that with seats flipping from Republican to Democrat months.
After the election was concluded.
Florida Democrat Party official and LGBTQ rights activist arrested on child porn charges.
Boy, who could have seen it coming?
A major Democrat, part of the Rainbow Democrats activist group, and has now been arrested on child porn charges.
But hey, that's bigoted, right?
They just want to be able to now say that that's part of the LGBTQ movement.
And believe me, if Democrats would have won another four years, they might have gotten away with it.
I'm not even looking for posts and articles about it.
I've seen it trend on X. But really getting intense in the last four or five days.
And people are just freaking out all over the place and saying, is that Alex Jones?
Is that a clone?
Is that a guy in a rubber mask?
How has he lost so much weight and looked so much younger?
Well, for five months, I've been eating better, working out a lot more intensely.
But also, I have been religiously taking the highest quality supplements out there.
I believe in supplements.
They're well documented.
We have some of the best.
But I just forget to religiously take them.
Now I have in my office and at home, I have people take medications, but I put it in the same type of bottles where you have every day what you're taking.
And I religiously take a lot of high-quality supplements.
And I drink a lot more water.
I've done some intermittent fasting where I don't eat till 1 or 2 o'clock every day, and then I don't eat past about 6 or 7. And I've lost 55 pounds now.
In five months.
And my blood sugar is, you know, like a super healthy 15-year-old.
My blood pressure's low.
Because my tests were not really bad, but they were starting to get in the zone of bad.
I was like pre-pre-diabetic.
Not pre-diabetic, but getting close to pre.
And now it's just, I just had my blood test done three weeks ago again.
So you're like a 20-year-old athlete, they said.
And I've got great genetics.
People have seen photos of me when I was younger and I was in great shape and ran like six, seven miles every few days.
And I could bench press 400 pounds, I weighed 180 pounds, squat 600. I mean, I was quite a beast.
I wasn't even trying to be big.
I was just very strong for the muscle I had.
And so I intend to get an even better shape.
But I could not have done it without Ultimate CMOS, the Ultimate Superfood.
And it has the very best iodine in it.
It has the very best vitamin and minerals.
The way it's naturally produced just goes right in your cells.
It is the ultimate superfood.
And she must have been popular for a long time.
I don't know why I wasn't promoting it, but this is a really strong private label of one of the top certified brands out there.
When we do this, we just go out and find out what's already super popular, what's already top rated, and we can see if they'll let us private label it.
In this case, they did.
And the gummies are back in stock.
It's up to 50% off if you get three bottles, 40% off if you get...
You know, less.
But these are great deals at thealexjonesstore.com.
Also, Ultimate Turmeric Formula.
Super concentrated.
The strongest you'll find with super concentrated ginger, black pepper extract, and more for your whole body, for your inflammation, for your brain, your cardiovascular.
I gobble this.
That has helped me get super healthy.
And, you know, quite frankly, this wasn't out yet, so I was just taking...
The Infowars brand of it that's excellent as well.
But the point is, is that I was on turmeric every day.
I mean, I'm just doing it.
And so it really, really works.
I see these fools out there saying, oh, Zempick Jones.
Well, I would never take that.
It's obviously super bad for your heart, super bad for your guts.
Are you kidding?
I'm not taking any big pharma garbage.
I am.
Eating healthier, working out, drinking a lot of water, and it's been incredible.
Now, I'm on hard work and high-quality compounds that God gave us, ladies and gentlemen.
