Owen Schroyer and military veterans dissect the January 31, 2025, U.S. Army Black Hawk crash near Reagan Airport, questioning NTSB’s month-long black box analysis and the helicopter’s single crew chief setup, which may have impaired visual detection. Callers debate intentionality—some cite "false flag" theories, others point to sensor or NVG failures—while Schroyer dismisses conspiracies but distrusts government transparency. Meanwhile, Trump teases EU tariffs, targets DEI programs, and pushes Ukraine peace talks amid 1.4M+ war casualties, while veterans link the crash to broader systemic issues like military training neglect and DEI’s impact on readiness. [Automatically generated summary]
Ladies and gentlemen, it's the last Friday of the month.
Friday, January 31st, 2025. We haven't taken a call on this show in two weeks.
Can you believe that?
Two weeks since we've taken a call.
Two weeks from everything.
But it is, as is tradition, the veterans call-in special.
So we're going to hear from our veterans today.
Maybe we get some aviation vets to call in, some Air Force people to call in, maybe even people that have flown Blackhawks to call in, and they can weigh in on that situation.
But before we get into that, why are they so afraid of Tulsi Gabbard, who is up against the odds now for confirmation?
She's a veteran herself.
She's willing to call out the military industrial complex and its propaganda wars like this.

Sir Kelly.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Colonel Gabbard, when Russia was denying us use of chemical weapons, they accused the U.S. of supporting terrorists.
This is a line that Putin used frequently during the Syrian civil war as he supported Assad.
Syrian officials made similar comments.
They did it repeatedly.
They did it in public.
They did it at the United Nations.
In 2016, you gave an interview in which you said, and this is a quote, the U.S. is providing direct and indirect support to terrorist groups in order to overthrow the Syrian government.
And in 2019, on the Democratic presidential debate stage, you said of President Trump, this is a quote, This current president is continuing to betray us.
We were supposed to be going after al-Qaeda, but over years now, not only have we not gone after al-Qaeda, our president is supporting al-Qaeda.
So I'm interested to hear what was your goal in saying these things, and did you consider, before saying them, the motives of Iran and Russia, what their motives might have been before making these claims?
Senator, as someone who enlisted in the military specifically because of al-Qaeda's terrorist attack on 9-11 and committing myself and my life to doing what I could to defeat these terrorists, it was shocking and a betrayal to me and every person who was killed on 9-11, their families and my brothers and sisters in uniform.
When, as a member of Congress, I learned about President Obama's Dual programs that he had begun really to overthrow the regime of Syria and being willing to, through the CIA's timber sycamore program that has now been made public, of...
Working with and arming and equipping Al-Qaeda in an effort to overthrow that regime, starting yet another regime change war in the Middle East.
DOD train and equip program, again, begun under President Obama, is widely been known, looked at, and studied that ultimately resulted in over half a billion dollars being used to train.
Who they called moderate rebels but were actually fighters working with and aligned with Al Qaeda's affiliate on the ground in Syria.
All to move forward with their regime change and not acknowledging what was obvious at the time and what has unfortunately born true, which was that a regime change war in Syria, much like the regime change wars in Iraq, the toppling of Gaddafi and Mubarak, while these are all dictators, would likely result in the rise of Islamist extremists like al-Qaeda taking power.
I shed no tears for the fall of the Assad regime, but today we have an Islamist extremist who is now in charge of Syria, as I said, who danced on the streets to celebrate the 9-11 attack.
Who ruled over Idlib with an Islamist extremist governance and who has already begun to persecute and kill and arrest religious minorities like Christians in Syria.
Why that should be acceptable to anyone is beyond me.
It shouldn't be.
And I understand.
unidentified
I appreciate your answer and thank you.
My concern has to do with the...
The tendency to repeat Russian and Syrian, and even in some cases, I think we'll get into in the closed session, Iranian information, and to discount what comes from our intelligence community.
President Trump and his administration are moving at such velocity that the Democrats and the mainstream media can't even keep up.
They can't even keep up with him or his administration.
And there are some updates on the plane crash situation that we'll talk about today.
The black boxes.
They say the overall investigation could take a month.
It seems like we should be able to get an idea of what went on over the airwaves, the transmissions from those black boxes.
You would think rather soon.
I mean, that's the purpose, and they recovered them.
And that might give us a better idea as to what happened.
But as we are getting more information, for some reason, the military, the army, Is withholding the name of one of the pilots, supposedly a female pilot.
We're not sure why that is.
There's been mixed reports about the Trump administration restricting Air Force or rather Army or any helicopter flights, military helicopter flights in that region around Reagan International.
Until they have answers on this.
And then there's some other weirdness going on with this too.
But we'll look at all of that.
All of the updated information that we have.
And it's not too much, really.
And how much trust you have in the NTSB who's conducting these investigations.
I would say so far.
We've gotten transparency from the Trump administration, whether it's Trump himself or Pete Hegseth or Caroline Levitt, who had another press conference today, who's just incredible.
Is it a compare and contrast because Karine Jean-Pierre was so bad, the worst press secretary of all time, that it makes press secretary Levitt look that good?
The Trump administration itself is trying to be as transparent and honest as possible.
But it's a deep state.
And the results and transparency of this investigation are going to be a major factor on whether or not we can instill trust and faith in government where there's virtually little to none at this point.
And like I said, I've been impressed with the Trump administration's handling of this.
But there's other bureaucracies involved.
There's other government bodies involved.
So there's only so much they can do right now.
But we'll give the update on that as well as some other interesting little tidbits surrounding it.
And it seems like everybody saw this coming.
Now, we still don't know as far as DEI's responsibility in all of this.
It would appear, though, I mean, it's pretty safe to assume at this point that the massive error either came from air traffic control or from the helicopter pilot on the helicopter or all the pilots involved on the helicopter or some combination of the two.
But when you watch the video, and we have new video now of it, slow motion video, long range video, close up video, I mean, the helicopter flies right into the plane.
I mean, it's almost impossible.
Just the sheer odds of it.
To be on the exact same flight path.
And then in the exact same airspace at the exact moment for collision.
The odds are astronomical.
Astronomical.
I suppose not impossible, but astronomical.
And so that's kind of the giant mystery.
Against all odds, how do these two aircrafts collide in midair?
And a helicopter with...
Hundreds of hours, actually combined thousands of hours of flight time on board flies right into a commercial airliner.
I mean, you look at the video, it looks like it's intentional.
The odds of that being an accident are astronomical.
I'm not saying it's intentional.
Just you look at the video and you say, wow, that looks intentional.
So there's some other stuff that we'll dive into on that.
I want to follow some of the leftist propaganda for you here.
We'll give you an update on where the confirmations are at.
Tulsi Gabbard is up against the odds because even the Republicans are warmongers.
The Republicans in the Senate, they have enough warmongers in there that probably don't like Tulsi Gabbard that might try to stop her.
I'm not sure she'll get a single Democrat vote.
They seem to be voting in a block on Gabbard.
I think RFK Jr. will get through.
Cash Patel is a bit of a mystery at this point.
I think he'll probably get through too.
It looks like Gabbard is now the lowest odds for confirmation.
But we'll update you if there's anything on that before we sign off.
But the people that are trying to go around and count up the Republican votes.
In the Senate are getting mixed reviews, and they've even changed some of them in the last 24 hours.
So, yeah, the deep state military-industrial complex neocon warmongers, we'll see if they let Tulsi Gabbard get through, because that's what it's really all about.
And then, of course, you've got just the Trump news.
The guy's just nonstop.
They can't even keep up with them and all the policies.
So that's what we have.
And it is the Veterans Call-In Day.
So we're going to be taking calls from veterans throughout.
And specifically, if we have any vets out there that are aviation experts, have even logged a lot of flight time, perhaps even on a Black Hawk helicopter, we'll probably prioritize those calls.
Should they make their way through?
But let's just cover as much news as we can here in the opening segment.
Now, I believe they might still have it on Drudge Report.
There was a fake news report this morning that Trump was not going to do the tariffs tomorrow.
And he was going to come out and say, well, we're going to wait and do it in March.
So this report went everywhere this morning.
It was on the top of Drudge.
I don't know if they still have it there.
They might have changed the headline.
So that was the big D.C. scandal.
Oh, because, you know, the liberal media was ready to pounce.
They love that word.
The liberal media was ready to pounce.
The fake news media was ready to pounce.
The Democrats were ready to pounce.
See?
Trump lied.
Trump's bluffing.
Trump can't do tariffs.
Trump's not going to do tariffs.
He knows it's going to be bad.
Yeah, there it is, still at the top of Drudge.
I don't know why they haven't changed it.
Well, I guess they put the question mark on it now.
Brian, I don't want to get ahead of the president, and I won't.
That's ultimately going to be his decision.
But let me be clear, all options will be on the table.
If we're dealing with what are designated to be foreign terrorist organizations who are specifically targeting Americans on our border, and we're finally securing our border.
We've been securing other people's border for a very long time.
The military is orienting, shifting toward an understanding of homeland defense on our sovereign territorial border.
Now, it's an interesting proposal here to be using the military special operations to be going after the Mexican cartels.
Now, there's already been gunfights going on at the southern border for some time.
The cartel activity there is obviously very dangerous.
You'd think the Mexican president and government would want to get behind these operations, but they're compromised.
So it'd be, you know, I don't necessarily think it's something I would support just because I wouldn't want a war on our southern border or skirmishes regularly, which would likely result here.
Probably the loss of life.
But at the same time, It would be much more justified.
It would make much more sense to be doing that than spending all this time in the Middle East with the loss of life.
The sacrifice of American blood and treasure would make a lot more sense to be down there on the southern border dealing with those issues.
So that's going to be one to keep an eye out for.
Trump's policies are already having positive results.
This is the Denver Health, Denver Health, I guess she's the chief executive officer here, Dr. Donna Lynn, pauses sex change, surgery, puberty blockers, and hormone therapy for those 18 and under following Trump's executive order.
Termination of Gender Affirmation Surgeries00:07:43
Well, Trump's putting an end to it and now literally saving children who would have been impacted by these diabolical fake medical procedures, a complete reversal of gender, not gender affirmation, gender rejection, gender rejection surgeries, now being rejected.
Congratulations.
Big success.
Big success.
But they're struggling.
Meta staffers revolt over tampon removal from men's rooms.
Thank you.
So they brought their own.
I mean, what a noble concept.
They decided just to bring their own.
Why couldn't you have just brought your own from the beginning, man?
Amen.
Man.
We used to be a proper country.
If a man showed up in a dress with his tampons, I don't know how much longer he's going to be employed.
A man shows up for work in a dress with his tampons.
And the trannies that work at Meta, they're protesting outside of the building because the new policy is men don't use tampons. they're protesting outside of the building because the new policy Now, just to add a little humor to this, so this is some trans person that has, I guess, a pretty large following on social media.
A couple more of this individual's videos have gone viral since this.
She got some bad news when her passport was shipped to her house and she learned the hard way, or he, boy, gotta be careful out there, guys.
Be careful, young men.
Be very, very careful.
Got some bad news on the passport.
Go ahead.
unidentified
In case you're wondering what it's like being transgender under this new administration.
I'm not.
I just got my new passport in the mail and they changed the gender to male because of Donald Trump.
Your government documents are now reflecting your actual biological gender.
And a man can't go into the bathroom for a tampon.
How will we survive?
It's going to be tough to pull out of this.
I don't know if we're going to be able to recover.
These are serious civilizational collapse issues when a man can't go to the bathroom for a tampon.
And a man can't pretend to be a woman and then have it reflected on his government document.
Tough.
Real tough.
Thomas Massey.
Has just introduced a one-sentence bill to eliminate the Department of Education.
I can read you the whole bill right now.
Would you like that?
H.R. 899. Introduced by Thomas Massey.
A bill to terminate the Department of Education, be it enacted by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled.
Termination of the Department of Education.
The Department of Education shall...
Terminate on December 31st, 2026. That's your bill.
The only issue I have with this bill is the termination date.
Do you think we could move that up to 2025?
Maybe?
Just do a quick edit here.
An unofficial submission here for Representative Thomas Massey.
Real simple edit.
Real simple bill.
One sentence bill, one simple edit.
We're just going to go ahead and move that forward.
We'll just do 2025. And I support!
And I support.
How much money will that save the federal government?
The abolishing of the federal income tax is picking up steam, by the way.
Very good stuff.
Blatant discrimination from the Democrat governor of Illinois.
J.B. Pritzker has blacklisted all January 6th defendants from ever working for any branch of the Illinois state government.
That's blatant discrimination, probably even illegal, but I don't think there'll be any problems there.
My guess is January 6th defendants aren't interested in working for the Illinois state government.
Just a guess, but a pretty confident one, I would say.
I'm pretty confident about that.
Now, the White House.
Makes this announcement.
Rapid Response 47. Trump's White House has rolled out a new social media account.
It's called the Rapid Response Account of the Trump White House, and it plans to hold fake news accountable.
So, they're going to be responding to all the lies and misinformation when it comes to the fake news, the liberal press, and you can follow that at Rapid Response 47. They're already doing some decent work.
And there's already some other examples.
It's not the rapid response, but these Democrats putting out just absolute, complete, fake information, and they're getting community noted in live time.
You know, what's the big takeaway for people to understand here?
What do the American people need to understand?
And really, Trump hasn't even gone far enough, quite frankly.
It's a good start, I would say.
It's like we just started a drive in a football game, and, you know, we're not even to the 50-yard line yet.
We've maybe crossed our own 30, but we're not even to the 50-yard line yet.
What's the takeaway, aside from the headlines?
The United States of America, we the people, the citizens, the taxpayers, we have been taken advantage of for decades.
We have been robbed for decades.
We have been paying the bills.
Of the entire planet for decades.
We have been getting crushed in international trade for decades.
We've had our jobs and manufacturing stolen for decades.
Bad policy.
Americans being ripped off for decades.
If it was on the ballot and the next time you go vote, There was an option that said, do you support, or on a vote I guess I would say, the United States should continue the USAID budget of a quarter trillion dollars a year in aid for foreign countries.
How many people would vote yes?
How many people would vote no?
The vast majority of Americans, an overwhelming majority of Americans, would vote no to spend half a trillion dollars annually on foreign aid.
But they never put it on the ballot, do they?
It's a giant money laundering operation.
It's a giant theft of the American people.
And then they say, these countries need the foreign aid.
These are third world countries.
These are developing countries.
These are countries whose citizens are poor and hungry.
Okay?
So we send them the foreign aid so that they can feed their citizens.
They can build infrastructure, schools, educate them.
Marco Rubio, as you know, is going to make a tour of various countries in South America.
He's going to be meeting in Panama, where Panama has treated us very badly.
They gave him, rather them, rather foolishly, a thing called the Panama Canal, the most expensive project we ever built, if you look at today's numbers.
Most expensive ever built.
We lost 38,000 men.
In that case, all men, just about all men.
38,000 to the mosquito, to malaria and various other problems that you get from jungles.
It was a tremendously costly event.
We built the Panama Canal 110 years ago.
Think of it, the most expensive development we ever did.
And really, one of the wonders of the world, one of the great wonders of the world.
We didn't give it to China, we gave it to Panama.
And Panama has been ripping down all the China language signs.
They've been working like mad to try.
But about 70% of the signs were up and they were written in Chinese.
And that's not the deal.
So we're going to take it back.
They've already offered to do many things, but we think it's appropriate that we take it back.
They've totally violated the agreement.
We have an agreement.
They violated the agreement.
And Marco Rubio is going over there to talk to the...
To the gentleman that's in charge.
unidentified
Do you still think it's a good idea for Jordan and Egypt to be taking in Palestinians when they reject the idea and the Palestinians who are living now in Egypt?
At the Department of Justice and the FBI, there are a number of high-level people who are being asked to resign or are being told they are going to be fired.
Did you specifically request any actions at the Bureau or DOJ with respect to those employees?
Tariffs, the word tariff is a very misunderstood word.
You've heard me say, I say it kiddingly, but one of the most beautiful words in the dictionary really is.
And we've been taken advantage of because others have charged us VATs.
As an example, the European Union charges us 20% plus, plus, plus a VAT tax, called a VAT tax, very similar.
And it costs us an absolute fortune.
We are treated so badly.
They don't take our cars.
They don't take our farm products, essentially.
They don't take almost anything.
And we have a tremendous deficit with the European Union.
So we'll be doing something very substantial with the European Union.
We're going to bring the...
Level up to where it should be.
And if you think of the European Union, then you go to NATO, it's largely the same group of countries.
Until I came along, I mean, we were paying almost 100% of NATO only to get bad trade deals.
And now it's been evened out, but very unfair having to do...
It was evened out pretty good.
Actually, I did a good job.
They paid...
$440 billion, if you look at the Secretary General's report, and he was here recently, and he said that.
He said, one of the most amazing things I've ever seen is what President Trump was able to do with these countries of Europe, of which he was in charge of them, but he couldn't get them to pay.
I went over, I said, you got to pay, and if you don't pay, we're not going to protect you.
It's very simple.
But very unfair is with Ukraine, because we're in for $300 billion plus.
And they're in probably for $100 billion.
There's a $200 billion difference.
And they need it more than we do.
We have an ocean in between.
They don't.
And so they're going to have to step it up a little bit.
unidentified
With efforts to reduce the federal workforce, whether it's offering...
What we've called the buyout package or other efforts.
Do you have any concerns that there will be employees broadly across the federal government who might take that up?
And they're a part of the many different ways that agencies protect the public, from food inspections to water safety to the air traffic.
All right, Trump just signed some executive orders.
He's now speaking to the press live right now in the Oval Office.
I don't think Joe Biden ever did this once.
So this is a real president.
You know, Biden would sit down at the desk, and then people would bring him executive orders.
orders, he had no idea what he's signing.
And then he'd sign them and then he'd stare blankly at a wall and his press wranglers would scream and shout, all right, everybody, we're done.
Get out, get out, leave, please go.
You got to go.
You got to go.
And then they wouldn't answer a question.
And they'd sit there dazed and confused.
Then they'd leave.
They'd have to wipe his poopy diaper.
But Trump actually writes the executive orders, knows the executive orders, signs the executive orders, invites the press into the Oval Office and then sits down for, I mean, this has been at least 20 minutes that he's been taking questions from the press.
Our country's getting very strong, and you see it.
I think more progress has been made- Kamala who?
...two or three weeks than has been made in the last four years.
I think not only has more progress been made in the last four years, it's called de-progress.
We went way backward as a country in so many different ways from woke.
To all of the other things that took place that were so bad.
You look at Afghanistan, how embarrassing that was.
I think Afghanistan really started the problem with Russia and Ukraine.
When Putin looked over and he saw how incompetently that was handled, I was getting out, but I was going to keep Bagram.
Right now, China has Bagram.
I was going to keep one of the biggest air bases in the world.
They left it.
But other than Bagram, I was going to get out.
I wasn't keeping Bagram for Afghanistan.
I was keeping it for China, because it's one hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons.
And we were keeping it.
So we have a lot of great things happening in our country, and we appreciate that you're here.
And I'm really thrilled about Doug, and I'm really thrilled about his friend, Chris Wright, who's a legend in the oil business, right?
They keep telling me, Catherine, he's like a legend.
And he's a legend, too, in a lot of businesses.
And we have an amazing group of people working with us.
There's a man behind me who became a tremendous success.
He was not a wealthy man.
He didn't start off a wealthy man, and he ended up a wealthy man.
And, you know, that's a great talent, and he's willing to sacrifice so much and to put it to work for our country.
Watch the job he does on the interior, but in particular on really making our country very, very wealthy by utilizing it properly.
At the same time, environmentally, he's very much an environmentalist.
He's going to do it very carefully and very painstakingly good.
But you just watch what happens.
And working with the Department of Energy, where his compatriot, his friend, and also considered the most talented man in the oil business, is the head of the Department of Energy, and they work together.
No cushy government job for you with free health care and amazing retirement benefits.
Recorded in 2023. You know, it all hits a little differently now.
But, you know, there's this crazy thing that the left is trying to do.
You can find that at Band Out Video, by the way.
Democrats launched a game show to destroy the country.
Maybe we should bring that back.
But I noticed this.
This got over a million views.
And this wasn't the only account that posted this.
So, I don't know if these people get Democrat Party talking points where they just parrot one another, but says DEI is the GOP replacement for the N-word.
Wait a second.
Now the GOP created DEI? What?
So now it's the GOP that created DEI so that they could say the N-word without saying the N-word.
Isn't it amazing?
They promoted DEI. DEI is their concept.
They enacted the DEI policies everywhere, and now that they're destroying everything, they say, hey, we didn't do DEI, and DEI's not responsible for anything.
It doesn't even exist.
Actually, the GOP did it.
What?
We are in the second hour of the InfoWars War Room.
We're about to open up our phone lines for veterans.
I'm going to cover the latest news regarding the plane crash, and then...
I wouldn't be surprised if we get some highly experienced veterans on here that can comment about that.
Maybe even experience on Black Hawk helicopters specifically.
But just all kinds of flight time logged.
Usually we get great callers when we open up the phone lines with subjects like this.
So let me give out that phone number right now and we'll start getting our veterans up on the lines.
877-789-2539.
877-789-2539.
The number is on the screen for you as well.
And I look forward to hearing from our veterans today.
And really, let's keep the number up just for a second there, guys.
And really, we've been so busy covering the Trump administration.
I haven't taken a phone call in weeks.
Weeks.
Definitely at least two weeks, maybe longer.
So that's how busy Trump has kept us.
But it's the Veterans Call-In Show today, so we're going to be hearing from our veterans.
I'm looking forward to that.
Again, the number one more time for the vets, 877-789-2539.
A U.S. military official told NPR, this is from the NPR story, on Friday today that the request of the family of the Army is not going to release the name of the female member of the three-person helicopter crew.
So, I'm not sure what, I mean, that's the reasoning they're giving, is that the family doesn't want the name released.
Of the female member of the three-person helicopter crew, there's still some mysteries as far as who was having what role while the helicopter was in the air.
They're assuming, or at least hoping, they can get that information with whatever they can recover from the crash site and the black box.
That investigation is ongoing.
They have recovered that, but they're saying it might take a month.
It's the first thing I've heard from this that makes me a little skeptical that it would take a month.
But nonetheless, that's the updated information.
So we know two of the individuals, two men on there, and we've found their information.
But the third one, the woman, we don't know much about that yet.
And they will not release the name.
Now, maybe I should just mention now, because if you're on X, if you follow news on X, then you almost certainly saw this.
And I had a bunch of people sending it to me last night, too, saying, did you see?
It's a trans pilot.
It's a trans pilot.
And I said, yeah, I'm not finding any verified sources.
I wouldn't report that.
And then people reported it anyway, and it turned out to be fake.
I don't blame people for doing it, and I get it, especially when you see it everywhere being reported, and it makes you feel comfortable to report it.
Now this individual is set to go on CNN, the falsely reported trans individual that was not on the flight.
Now this person is set to go on CNN, and...
You know, I would just be careful, folks.
Because you know people put out bad information.
And I think people even put out bad information intentionally for one reason or the other.
And maybe we'll figure out why in the coming weeks or months.
But the person is already ready to go on CNN. Obviously released a statement defending themselves.
Against the false accusations.
And I don't even want to say what I anticipate is going to happen next.
I think it's pretty obvious.
So you just got to be careful.
You just got to be careful.
And I'm going to be following that story with very piqued interest.
But, you know, I've always said this because this is what happens.
People listen to this show.
A lot of people in the media listen to this show and they'll send me these stories and say, hey, are you going to report on this?
Why haven't you report on this?
And then people listen and they say, why didn't you report on this?
I will not report on something here that I don't believe.
So I'm not just going to pick up some viral report and report it on the show because everybody's reporting on it.
And this policy has worked 100% of the time here.
Just so you know.
Tons of things have gone viral.
That I refuse to report on.
And then they ended up being fake.
So just know that.
If there's some big story floating around and you don't hear it on this show, that's probably because I don't trust it or I know it's fake.
Now, there also are rumors, and nothing's been confirmed from the White House, that the Trump administration is considering restricting the airspace around Reagan International, specifically for helicopter flights.
So we'll see if an actual policy comes out about that.
But apparently the Trump administration is considering that because now we've learned that the day before that deadly crash, there was another incident with an American Airlines flight that almost collided with a Black Hawk helicopter.
Now, in this instance, I guess air traffic control or somebody was on top of it and they rerouted the plane and it did a loop so that it didn't collide with the helicopter.
So now you look at this and you think, okay, well, where's the pressure now on air traffic control?
Were they asleep at the switch?
So way too many incidents.
They did come out and say the helicopter was against aviation code and wasn't supposed to be at that elevation.
And so it looks like now they have made that official then, guys?
It looks like, so this was after we, there's about 30 minutes after I went on air.
This headline says U.S. restricts helicopter flights after a Washington crash.
So it was my understanding when we went live that they were considering it.
And this report from less than an hour ago claims that they've now made it official.
So we'll pay attention to that, but I wouldn't be surprised if they do that.
Seems to be a necessary situation.
And again, if you guys just want to roll some of this footage that I sent too.
The new angles that we have of the crash, it's just...
Again, it's incredible to think here.
Here's a very close-up angle from a dash cam.
The helicopter flies right into the plane.
And, you know, I've heard other people talking about this, saying, well, if both the pilots...
We're wearing night vision goggles, then they could see how there might be a vision issue and they wouldn't have seen the plane.
But still, you would think air traffic control would be able to give them enough of a warning for an evasive maneuver like they had done just a day before.
But the sheer odds of this are astronomical.
That an airplane and a helicopter would be at the exact same elevation, in the exact same space in the sky, at the exact point in time, that a helicopter with pilots on board with thousands of hours combined flying, and they fly right into a commercial airliner.
I mean, directly into it.
And it looks like they don't even try to move.
And then there's more coming out.
I've got the video.
We covered the stories yesterday.
Now the video's going around.
Lockheed Martin demonstrating how the Black Hawk helicopter can be operated remotely.
So you can obviously understand why people...
I mean, that's not insignificant.
My response is, well then, for what would be the purpose?
Of somebody hacking into a Blackhawk helicopter, flying it autonomously into a commercial jet.
I don't really have any insight into the accident itself or any theories, but one thing that really bothered me this morning...
When they were talking about it being a trans pilot was that they might be trying to get people on board that train and try to sucker them into a you know, let's get on board the trans narrative and then make everybody look stupid.
But one of the things that I want to talk to you about was Whether it was DEI or not, I don't know if you've ever heard of the Swiss cheese model.
They use it a lot in aviation safety, whereas you can have all these holes individually might not be a problem, but when you line them up, it eventually will create a problem.
It may have been some DEI failures, but we don't know yet.
It's too early to tell, but I'll tell you what one of the problems is.
It's flight time for a Blackhawk pilot.
When I was actively flying Blackhawk, 96 hours a year is what my annual requirement was.
Now, as an airline pilot, I typically fly about 1,000 hours a year.
So you can see how we don't have enough money for our pilots to fly and train, but we have plenty to send to all the things you were talking about earlier in the show as far as foreign aid and Ukraine and who else.
It's a real shame because people really don't realize that a Black Hawk pilot in the Army is only flying about 100 hours a year unless he's deployed to combat.
Yeah, well, it just said that the security alert systems, I'm guessing maybe dealing with imminent collisions or other aircraft in the sky around it, was just lacking.
unidentified
Also type rated in that type of CRJ. The CRJ does have traffic collision avoidance system.
The Blackhawk that I flew, I flew the older model, the Alpha Lima.
I know...
We did not have a traffic collision avoidance system.
The Mike model, which I think is what they're using now, it may, but I can't say.
I was trying to text somebody that I know that flies the Mike model to see.
I don't think it does either.
But with the Blackhawk itself, funny enough, we used to have this thing.
It looked like an old 1980s Atari cartridge that it was for planning GPS routes and whatnot.
And when I first started flying the Blackhawk, You could kind of take it apart, and it had some mechanisms inside, and it would say made in the United States.
By the end of my career flying the Blackhawk, those little Atari cartridge for the GPS routing system were made in China.
But that's one of the holes in the Swiss cheese, Owen.
Who knows?
I wish I'd had more time to sit down.
It's the first time I've ever called in.
I listen to you every day.
I started jotting down notes as soon as I actually got through.
There's so many things that, you know, I'm charting out at 32 years in the military, part-time these days, but aviation safety I can speak on forever because, you know, to get a job as a civilian airline pilot, you have to have 1,500 hours.
That's bare bones minimum.
To go into the left seat as the airline captain, you have to have 1,000 hours in the right seat.
We were making pilot-in-command PICs, you know, in effect the captains of Blackhawks at 500 hours.
But I heard in some units, it was unit SOP dependent, that it was as little as 300. You know, and when you hear super experienced Blackhawk pilot, a guy that's been in 20 years may have 2,000 hours.
You know, a guy that's been flying in the airlines usually has 15,000 to 20,000 hours.
So, you know, it's very frustrating.
I really, you know, I think the president's got the country on track as far as some of the holes in the Swiss cheese model.
But, you know, I never liked a Monday morning quarterback aviation accident.
But I just thought I would share with you some of these things.
Because I'm just trying to ask the right questions.
What do you make of the fact that...
I mean, certainly there should have been enough time for an evasive maneuver, right?
I mean, you'd think...
I mean, somebody is in their ear saying, pull up or pull down, or does that not happen?
unidentified
It does, and I've never flown those river routes.
There are low-level river routes that I'm familiar with, but not the D.C. ones.
That helipad for the Pentagon is right across the river, so it's, you know...
I'm sure the pilots that fly in and out of DCA are no stranger to flying in close proximity with helicopters, but I can tell you that airspace is super dangerous.
I lived in that area when I was a kid, and I used to be based at Washington Dulles with another airline years ago.
And the DC airspace is treacherous in and of itself, but particularly DCA being in close proximity with, you've got Andrews Air Force Base, you've got...
You know, all the government agencies flying helicopters in and around.
And I'm really interested in digging into a couple of these stories.
First here, ex-Federal Reserve advisor arrested for passing trade secrets to China.
And, you know, you just heard from our last caller who was flying Black Hawk helicopters how by the end of his flights he was flying different models.
Went from made in the USA to made in China.
And it just shows how the whole TikTok thing being about China is such a lie, such a farce.
But we won't go back down that avenue here.
Trump fires head of FBI Washington field office David Sundberg.
Cans more than 20 heads of FBI field offices.
And so I suppose that bleeds into this next story.
FBI agents who worked on Trump investigations and January 6th probes could be fired as soon as today.
This may have already happened now.
That was from earlier.
This is the Washington Post 10 minutes ago, so now it is official.
Interim U.S. attorney fires more than two dozen January 6th prosecutors in D.C.
I wonder if you guys can get me the list or if the list is even public yet.
Um Because, you know, that's who came after me.
You know.
That's who came after me.
And that's who told us when I was going through the legal proceedings, which I was...
Fully cooperative in.
And then they wrote fake stories saying, oh, I'm selling out Alex Jones.
I'm selling out Donald Trump.
No, it was the exact opposite.
I was proving beyond a reasonable doubt that there was no guilt when I turned over all the electronic data that they asked for.
Yeah, I suppose I could have called Alex and said, Alex, I'm about to turn over all my phone records.
I didn't even have to.
I didn't need to.
Because there was nothing there.
And then they write all these fake stories.
So, yeah, I gave the FBI what they wanted.
Yeah, I gave the January 6th prosecutors what they wanted because there was nothing there.
And notice how they didn't find anything.
Sat down for questioning sessions.
And the terms were, okay, you do this for us and we won't put you in prison.
And then what did the prosecutors do?
What did the U.S. attorneys do?
They put me in prison.
With the judge.
And they sat in that courtroom.
They said, he never worked for InfoWars.
Go read the transcripts.
In the sentencing hearing, they said, this is not about Owen Schroer's speech, but here's what he said.
Probably happened ten times to the judge.
Because our argument was, this is First Amendment protected speech here.
They went up to the judge.
Went to the podium right in front of the judge and read quotes from my show that had nothing to do with January 6th at all and said, this is not a First Amendment thing, this is not about Schroer's speech, but here's what he said.
So put him in prison.
And then they lied and said Owen Schroer never did his community service.
Soros-controlled radio station unmasks vehicles of undercover ICE agents in San Jose.
Now, this is crazy.
Because, so the Soros group just buys up all these radio stations, and they were able to waive a bunch of the normal processes to get ownership of these stations.
But this seems to be in coordination with another thing some Soros money is reportedly behind.
Act Blue is using all of its resources to reportedly alert illegal immigrants when ICE is in the area and then form what they're calling resistance maps so that you can help illegal aliens avoid deportation and warn them when ICE is in the area.
And ultimately, this is going to translate to protest.
This is the guy that Biden just gave the Medal of Freedom to, who now is engaging in, I mean, I don't know, how is this not considered criminal activity?
How is this not considered obstructing law enforcement?
Yeah, so T was, he is, obviously he's a pilot, so a little bit more conservative than us crew chiefs.
Just to give you a quick background.
So I retired, I had about a little over 4,000 flight hours and a CH-46.
We do similar missions as CH-60s.
Now, those aircraft are retired, but basically the operations would be the same.
So half of my time, because I deployed a lot after 9-11, is goggle time, which is flying with night vision goggles.
We call it aided and unaided.
Now, from what I've seen of this or heard on the news, they said both pilots or the whole crew was being evaluated.
Well, that's not possible.
Number one, the crew chief couldn't have been evaluated because there was only one guy back there.
The pilots won't be evaluating each other.
You'll have a pilot that's evaluating a pilot, and you'll have a senior air crewman in the back that's evaluating the crew chief performance.
So in that airspace, as T was saying, it's very congested, but these guys, I mean, this isn't unusual.
You mentioned yourself that they had a warning the day before, and they had to redirect.
And I heard in another report that there was one a few days before this.
So there were multiple ones.
It's probably not too unusual.
The problem is, and it's so hard to explain when you're flying goggles, in a highly lighted, when there's lots of ground lighting.
Now, the generation of goggles they fly with now, they take that ground lighting, that exterior lighting pretty well.
Their gains are a lot better to where they don't get washed out as easy.
You'll be flying along at a low altitude, and say you're going into airspace.
Like, I flew mostly on the West Coast, but if we went through LAX's airspace, for instance, we had to be at 500 feet and below, and you're flying underneath the landing pattern.
So you had to maintain very strict altitude.
I guarantee you they have a very strict altitude that they have to maintain.
That's the primary job of a crew chief, because the pilots are up, they're on the sticks, they're reading instruments, they're flying, they're looking out.
But the primary job of a crew chief is to be a visual.
He's not only looking for other aircraft, but he's looking for obstacles.
It's those little altitudes, you've got to watch out for wires and all kinds of things.
So he's busy back there looking.
He'll look underneath the goggles.
So if it's really bright, he might look underneath the goggles to see if he's seeing any smack lights, any anti-collision lights of aircraft.
The problem is, like I was saying, if you're flying at a low altitude in a highly populated area with lots of traffic and there's cars on the road and other aircraft and there's geographical lighting, you may be flying right towards another aircraft.
If you're off the goggles, in other words, you're looking underneath them or you're looking at your instruments, that aircraft light may blend in or it may wash out your goggles with the background lighting.
What concerns me more is the altitude he was flying at.
That just seemed, I could see his tail smack flashing before he hit the aircraft, and it just seemed like he was flying at way too high an altitude to traverse airport airspace.
It's not unusual military aircraft do that, but they're generally at a pre-described altitude, at or below that altitude.
Like I said, in LAX, it's like 500 feet or so.
And we generally go much lower than that just because we're showing off to people on the beach.
But that's another story.
But you're very low.
And he may be restricted because there may be other obstacles that they can't fly too low.
I don't know too much.
But bottom line is he said something very important.
He said the Swiss cheese model.
When they do accident investigation, especially Class A accident investigation, which involves loss of life, and this is a very, very high-vis Class A mishap.
Obviously, because, I mean, you got the president of the United States involved, and you got the SecDef who's leading this.
Nothing's going to be hidden on it.
They are not going to—I can't see this SecDef, Pete Hegseth, allowing anything to be buried.
So it's going to be transparent.
It's going to be exposed.
And what you're going to see is a bunch of different things.
They're looking at what the pilots ate.
They're looking at how much sleep they got.
All these things, and both aircraft, both the civilian and the military aircraft, but it's really stringent in the military.
I was involved in a couple of these accident investigations, and they're very, very detailed.
So it may take some time.
So patients, you know, you're going to have to have patience here.
Otherwise, you might get information like you've been getting that is unreliable and you don't want to report.
So there are elements to this that are just beyond, oh, man, that guy flew into that aircraft.
How the hell could that happen?
So if everybody is patient and waits, they'll get a pretty detailed report.
My fear is going to be that these pilots lost situational awareness.
And the crew chief, there was only one in back.
There should have been two in the Marine Corps.
When we do night flights like that, we fly two observers, a crew chief and an observer in the back.
So we have two air crewmen in the back, plus the pilots.
And I think that's what's going to happen.
It's probably going to be...
A combination of errors on the aircrew part in the 60. Because you've got to remember that the jet airliner, he's on a determined path.
He's supposed to be there.
He's been told to land there by air traffic control.
They may have missed a call.
They may have been asking the pilot, hey, you've got a heavy coming in.
Like a Pave Hawk has terrain following, very sophisticated radar, a nap of the Earth's ability to fly.
Those guys fly, you know, you have special Army units, especially.
You have the Task Force 160, the Night Stalkers, where they fly these very, very advanced helicopters that have terrain following radar and warning systems.
A typical Black Hawk that's a utility helicopter, it may not have a crash avoidance system.
It may have an altitude, let's say, warning, warning, you're getting too low, pull up, pull up, something like that.
But it may not be tracking another aircraft.
That's really why you have your experienced air crew on board.
And this looks, what it smells like to me, and I hate to say it, I don't even know if I want to say it.
Like I said, we're...
The crew, the enlisted air crew are a little bit more vocal than the pilots are.
They're pretty conservative.
But it smells to me like complacency on the air crew's part.
That's just my personal speculation.
But every mishap I've either experienced or witnessed my friends die in, whatever, it's always because they got complacent.
They were just kicking back, oh, I've flown this route a million times.
Oh, yeah, yeah, I see them, whatever, chatting, and, you know, this is like the worst possible thing that could happen.
And then, you know, maybe it happens to everybody, too, when we're driving our cars, and it's just the same route you drive, and sometimes you just kind of check out and just go into, you know, automation, if you will.
But here's another question I would have, and maybe you can weigh in on this, but why is the flight path going across the flight path of the landing zone at Reagan?
Because there's only one or two landing strips.
It's not the biggest airport.
I think there's only one, maybe two landing strips there.
Why even fly a helicopter over the exact trajectory of the landing strip?
I mean, is that not crazy, or why would they do that?
Yeah, well, and I think it's pretty clear here that, you know, somebody was either at fault in the Blackhawk or at air traffic control, maybe even both.
I guess my final question for you would be, we're talking to a Marine here, Mike in Georgia, retired helicopter chief.
Shouldn't air traffic control be in the ear of the Blackhawk pilot saying, evasive maneuver?
I've flown across the country back and forth in a helicopter, and I've traversed many, many airspace, many, many major airports, airspace.
As long as you're at a certain altitude and below, you let them know, hey, I'm at this altitude and below, I'm traversing your airspace, and that's the last you ever hear of.
You don't talk to them again, unless there's something like this.
Now, in my experience, what's telling me right now is he was told there was an aircraft there.
I'm hearing it in my head as clear as I'm in the back of that aircraft.
Hearing that air traffic controller saying, traffic off your nose, a heavy landing at...
That secondary air runway.
And they're asking him if he has it in sight.
That's what I'm thinking, just based on probably these guys repeated flying through that airspace.
Just a common, this is the normal way we handle this.
And, Mike, I really appreciate you weighing in and calling in today.
With your experience, what makes it interesting, too, because, I mean, I'm not up here leaping to some conspiracy theory.
I mean, I can't see any reason or evidence to think foul play is taking place here.
You know, maybe people were considering that at the beginning, but that doesn't really, there's nothing that would indicate there's any foul play or reason for there to be foul play here.
So that's why I think people are saying, okay, well, What was going on at air traffic control?
What was going on inside the helicopter?
Is DEI a factor in all of this?
We don't know.
But I think that this isn't like TWA Flight 800, I think.
I don't know if that was the last major airline crash.
Of course, somebody blew it up with a missile.
And you had the eyewitnesses.
And then you had all the propaganda saying it wasn't a missile.
I think it was TWA 800. Fantastic documentary on it, on Netflix.
I mean, you want to see an airline crash cover-up, go look at a TWA flight 800. And guys, make sure I'm getting that flight number right so people aren't searching for the wrong thing.
Yeah, it was flight 800. Thank you, guys.
I mean, FBI moving evidence, obstructing with the investigation, eyewitness evidence being ignored, I mean, the propaganda that was being put out.
We got a couple others here that want to weigh in on this.
We got Air Force veteran, Army veteran, another Marine.
Again, if veterans want to call in today, and if you have experience, I really want to hear from you.
We've already had a...
A pilot chief and a pilot themselves call in with their expertise, and you can hear the knowledge and experience with their commentary.
877-789-2539 is the number.
It's on the screen right now, 877-789-2539.
So any other veterans with experience in this field, we hope to hear from you.
I do have some other news I want to cover here in the short segment before we get into the second hour.
And not too much news.
We should be able to get through the rest of this and be able to take a couple other veteran calls.
That's my hope.
Remember, folks, thealexjonesstore.com.
Very excited.
I was very excited when I saw this a couple days ago when the Ford Raptor Bronco pulled into the InfoWars garage and I said, is this the new raffle giveaway?
They said, yep.
Polishing it up.
We're about to go shoot the videos.
It'll be up on the website by the end of the week.
That is a winner.
So, if you want to enter the raffle to win the Ford Raptor Bronco, you need to do your shopping at TheAlexJonesStore.com.
The hats, the hoodies, the t-shirts, the supplements, all of it.
When you shop at TheAlexJonesStore.com, you get entries to the Ford Raptor Bronco raffle giveaway.
I'm telling you, man, this thing is like a Hot Wheels Tonka toy.
I mean, you're going to have fun.
You're going to have fun.
In this deal.
Very, very cool.
With the decals and everything else, this is a very unique, very stylish, very cool vehicle.
The Ford Raptor Bronco.
And don't forget, the Great American Knife Sale is happening right now at thealexjonesstore.com as well.
Limited stock on these knives.
Some of them more than $100 off.
So take advantage of this happening as well at the Alex Jones Store.
I've got the knives right here on my desk.
These things are no joke.
These things are no joke.
All right.
We enter the third and final hour of the show.
I'm going to cover a couple other stories.
We're going to take a couple other veteran callers and send you off into the weekend.
We'll be right back.
All right.
Let's get a couple odds and ends here before we go back to our veterans on the line.
Get their commentary on this plane crash.
Or you can call in on anything if you want.
But getting their expertise on the crash has been very intriguing for me.
Alright, so you've got these videos going around.
I guess these are Mexicans?
I don't know.
Apparently, if you go to Mexico as an American now, you're not going to be safe.
In fact, you're not even allowed to go.
Well, that doesn't seem very smart.
I'm pretty sure Mexico benefits from U.S. tourism to a very...
Great degree.
But here's their warnings for you.
If you're a white, if you're a pale-faced white, I think is the exact quote here, in Mexico, they're going to spit in your food?
Is this true?
Is this true?
unidentified
Clip 13. All I gotta say is, if you're American...
Very pale American.
I hope you don't have plans for spring break in Mexico because there's a lot of people that are mad right now.
You know, you'd think, because there's a bunch of these videos going around, you'd think that some representative from the actual Mexican government would make a statement like, please U.S. tourists.
This is not true.
We enjoy U.S. tourism.
It's a great benefit to us, our friends to the north.
So, no, we don't hate you.
We aren't mad at you.
We won't spit in your food.
Please come spend your money here on spring break.
Of course, these social media bimbos aren't going to be impacted by that.
But hold on a second.
What are they mad about?
Do you see the trend here every day?
It's catastrophic for other countries to accept the influx of people, not us.
Mexico can't handle all these people coming in, but we can.
Mexicans are really mad.
What, because we won't take illegal immigrants?
And so now you have to?
Again, where is this mindset?
Where did we get to this point where, nope, U.S. has to just take everybody from all over the world?
We just have to take them all.
Where is this belief coming from?
Oh, they're mad because they have to take illegals now and not you.
Oh, it's catastrophic for all the other countries.
Oh, Mexico can't handle the influx.
But we can.
That's our duty as Americans, apparently.
And now you're going to say, oh, we don't want U.S. tourism.
We're going to spit in your food.
Okay.
Good luck with that.
But really, now here's another liberal.
She's going to go a step further.
You're not even allowed to go to Mexico.
So because you won't take illegal immigrants from every other country on earth, which most of them aren't even Mexican, you shouldn't even go to Mexico.
And you shouldn't eat a taco either.
unidentified
Clip 14. And let me make something absolutely clear, unless I wasn't already.
If you voted for Trump, you are not allowed in Mexico.
I'm sure you're still dealing with it up there in New Hampshire.
unidentified
Oh, yeah, but we love it.
We love it.
The summer's too hot.
But the reason I called in today, first, let's start off by saying shout-out to all...
Red Patch Marines, 0481, Atlantic Support.
We work hand and fist with the Air Wing.
We get pretty tight with them.
My thing that I just wanted to weigh in, which you guys already have plenty of much more experienced actual pilots and crew chiefs, which we work with them as well.
I just find that we're kind of getting caught up on the factoids and contemplations when we can't really define anything until we have anything solid.
One thing I do want to caveat on previous callers was, yes, the crew chiefs and the crew members are bouncing back and forth.
If you picture someone backing up a big truck with a bunch of assistants, they're bouncing from the side hatches to the rear hatch, depending on the aircraft.
We worked a lot with the V-22 Ospreys.
Scary plane.
Depending on the visibility, but you always had multiple crew members bouncing back and forth looking for obstacles, whether it be power lines or trees.
Scanning the landing zones and stuff of that nature.
So it all just smells very fishy.
My instinct kind of leans more towards technology has gotten way too vulnerable, and it appears that something had to go wrong, either whether it be a hacking or somebody else took control of the bird.
But we can't really say anything.
And another question I had about that, I thought that there was like this little black box on aircraft that recorded telemetry data.
And let me just say one more thing, too, because, again, I look at this and I'm thinking...
Where is any evidence of sabotage or foul play, right?
I mean, who benefits?
Why would that even make any sense here?
I can't see it anywhere.
The one thing I guess, maybe, is there a big military contract in the air?
Is there a big helicopter contract in the air?
Is there a competition between Lockheed and someone else for a new helicopter contract?
I mean...
That's the only thing I could think of if there was foul play involved.
I mean, otherwise, I just don't see any reason or evidence of foul play.
unidentified
Right, absolutely.
I would think maybe PSYOP, like, oh, I definitely don't want to fly now seeing all this stuff happening, you know, with doors falling off, these planes crashing into each other as very as much as well, you know.
Just more of that.
And like I said, it seems like this is all everybody's talking about when there are a lot of very big stories also continuing to break all the time as well.
It's an experience that's already very uncomfortable for a lot of people, not just a potential life and death thing, but just it's an uncomfortable thing to do.
So a story like this is always going to have the human interest.
Whenever you have innocent people dying like this, there's going to be the human interest.
So it's something that affects a lot of people.
A lot of people fly.
People don't like tragedy in the air or anytime.
But, you know, it does kind of have that, like, there's something else.
And most people are leaning into the DEI of that something else.
But I think that that's why it's captivated us so much, is because you see it and you're like, something, there's something else in this equation that shouldn't be there.
unidentified
Right, absolutely.
Now, do we have time to kind of roll into Maggie Hassan at the RFK hearings as one of her constituents?
By the way, let me just say this before you do that.
Representative Clay Higgins released this statement late last night on RFK Jr. He says, Clay Higgins, RFK is going to run HHS whether you like it or not.
The Senate is ours.
And the moment Trump decides he's had enough of random senators delaying our mission, J.D. is walking in and taking the gavel as president of the Senate.
There's zero you can do about that.
We the people will not be stopped.
We're saving the country and RFK is part of the formula.
So vote your conscious, Senator, or don't.
Either way, we're watching.
Now, you wanted to say something about your Senator?
unidentified
Well, let's respond to that.
That's absolutely what we need in this country.
So, the other day, I was at the end of the American Journal.
I was listening at work.
I work in construction now.
Maggie Hassan came on and grilled him on the subject of a bleeding mother.
Partly aborted.
Now, I want to tell you, the one-year anniversary of losing our son, me and my wife's son, Eli, we were seven months pregnant, and she had a placentoral abruption, early-term emergency C-section.
She doesn't, this woman, Maggie Hassan, does not even know what she's talking about, because when a woman comes in, it's not even considered an abortion at that part, and not to mention our hospital system's here.
Their first priority is to prolong the pregnancy.
They know the baby needs to stay in there.
And like I said, I don't even know the actual definitions of abortion.
Treatment is what it's called, when they basically just fly you around and travel you from correctional facility to correctional facility, and in that period of time, you're bound the entire time.
unidentified
I know, but I don't think they can just lock you in a room for 24 hours and leave you chained up, though.
I know for a fact that's against, I forget what you call it, but that's against the Department of Corrections rules right there in itself.
But, I mean, if you recall, I don't know if you were paying attention at the time, but when I was in prison, they were basically denying me rights to talk to my attorneys.
And, I mean, we had to raise a big fuss just to get me my rights to talk to attorneys again.
And that was the whole thing I went through.
So it's, I mean, it's an uphill battle in there, man.
Because they, because I'm just lucky that I have, you know, an audience and platform and there is pressure applied.
Most of these prisoners, they don't have people fighting for them on the outside.
They get into the system and the system doesn't give a damn because nobody's going to hold them to any standards.
I thought the exact same thing, and I kind of just went with the theory of just don't open your mouth because I really just don't know.
I thought about the same thing.
I said, well, wait a second.
Is this training flight flying with active explosives?
Is that a normal thing to see an explosion like that when two aircrafts collide?
And I just don't know, so I just decided I wasn't going to theorize about it.
So I'm glad you called in on that.
Expand on that.
unidentified
So there's rocket pods.
So there's, like, they have, like, rocket pods on there.
So, like, you put the rockets in there, and then they, you put the rockets in there, and then you load them up, and then they basically, like, if you want to, like, destroy an enemy or kill an enemy, like, it's like a rocket, you know?
Yeah, I mean, that's why the Black Hawk, I mean, that's its big purpose, is it can fire rockets, and, I mean, it's the most devastating as far as the weapons are concerned.
It's funny you brought that up because the same thought went through my head and I was just like, I don't know, maybe that's what a plane helicopter explosion looks like.
I don't know.
I mean, you know, obviously Hollywood, you know, the Michael Bay jokes, you know, obviously Hollywood likes to make everything look like, I mean, a car runs into a fire hydrant, it blows up like an atomic bomb.
So it's like, obviously that's not a reality, but I don't know, maybe that's what a...
Mid-air collision would look like even without an explosive.
But, you know, it's funny you brought that.
I was thinking the same thing, and I just said, yeah, you know what?
I don't know.
I'm not even going to bring it up because I might sound like an idiot.
So I'm glad I wasn't the only person thinking that.
And I wanted to mention a lot of things about ZR, my chapter president, but I'm going to let that go right now and talk about what's going on here.
Now, I listen to you guys all the time.
I kind of hear you guys walking some stuff back about this incident in D.C. I mean, it's pretty obvious that that rotor craft made a beeline for that fixed wing craft, okay?
And now I'm here just gaslighting about how, you know...
It's maybe this, maybe that.
That one very, that veteran caller said that, you know, it could be some kind of, you know, mistake.
But he was just damage control, dude.
I mean, it was pretty obvious that that craft made a beeline for that plane.
Now, we know this, and it's going to make me nauseous that you guys are buying into this.
But, dude, I'm 59. 1984, 1989, I was a default sailor.
The only thing I had to do with aviation was I used to, we used to unwrap choppers with some JP5 on my destroyer, okay?
But, you know, it's kind of getting a little upset that you guys are like, you know, let this go.
Of the 60 passengers, like 25 of them or whatever were part of a skating club, a Boston skating club, some young up-and-coming skaters and then some world champion skaters.
I don't know too much about the other victims.
They just released that information today.
There are a lot of kids on that flight.
unidentified
And that's where I think the false flag comes in, to make the tragedy that much.
I mean, I just...
I just don't want to buy into this fact that it could be complacency.
The evidence has led me in the opposite direction to this point.
If things change, I mean, the only evidence that I can point to, and maybe it's the strongest evidence, and I get where you're coming from, is the video is clear.
The helicopter goes right into the plane.
I mean, there is no denying that.
It's clear as day.
Mind-boggling that that could happen as an accident.
So I understand where you're coming from.
I, again, I just, there's been no flag raised to say it's a false flag.
I can't add anything up that would make me conclude that it was done intentionally as far as the aftermath or who was on board.
Maybe information will come out that might change that.
But, you know, overall, I would say this in response to Jim, and I thank him for his kind words and his call.
I think, more importantly, this is the issue.
Nobody trusts our government, and we understand the environment that we're in politically that is just hyper for false flags, hyper for black swan events, and you gotta have your head on a swivel.
So I get where he's coming from.
I do understand.
I always call things as I see them, and that's just where I see it right now.
And maybe something else comes out and...
Changes my mind.
But I get it.
I mean, I've said it.
I said the odds of a helicopter and an airplane colliding in midair like that are astronomical.
Not impossible, but astronomical.
I trust the Trump administration.
I trust Pete Hegseth.
The NTSB, I don't know.
I don't know about that.
So, I get the skepticism.
More veteran calls coming up.
Last segment of the InfoWars War Room.
Other side of this short break.
Final segment here of the InfoWars War Room.
Another crazy week, huh?
Trump running laps around the fake news media.
The Democrats can't keep up with him.
We've had great calls from our veterans today.
I want to go back to the lines here momentarily.
They're reporting in San Diego some wildfires broke out in San Diego.
Three of them, all three of them, broke out in San Diego, and they've all been traced back to homeless encampments, according to the San Diego Metro Arson Strike Team.
In the aftermath of the Palisades fires, and this is just...
And we'll see where it all ends up.
Kind of anticipated this.
Pacific Palisades rebuilding must include low-income housing.
So this will crush the property values.
I mean, I can even speak from experience where I live.
Some development companies came in and they wanted to build some nice new apartment buildings.
And then the city came in and said, well, You're not going to get the permits or you're not going to get tax incentives unless you build the low income.
And then, of course, so they built a couple low income, built a couple that weren't under those standards.
And then the crime rates go up and then you see cops flying around everywhere and hear about break-ins and then property values go down.
So it's just ridiculous.
But people kind of anticipated that was going to happen.
And now it is official.
Chuck Turd, excuse me, Chuck Todd is leaving NBC. I always tell you, don't I? I always tell you, every presidential election cycle, the media shakeup, the rise in the fall, Acosta out.
Hey, Acosta's going independent, guys.
Acosta going independent.
Now that's funny.
So Chuck Todd, I guess, going independent too.
Oh, he'll be a massive success.
I'm sure he'll be huge.
No, when these people lose the power of their network, they lose everything.
They think they're big.
They think they have real loyal followings.
They end up learning the hard way.
Even Bill O'Reilly, who was top-rated at Fox News for years.
I mean, he's had some independent success, but he's not really relevant anymore.
But here's your fake news, Chuck Todd.
A little waving goodbye to fake news, Chuck Todd, clip 10. Instead of Roger Stone and WikiLeaks, it's Rudy Giuliani.
Didn't you push the vaccines as safe and effective too there, bud?
Hey, I'm sure you'll do great on your own.
I'm sure you won't learn the hard way that the only reason anybody ever listened to you was because you were at a network station.
I'm sure you're going to just be huge, man.
You're going to have so much impact now that you're independent.
Wow.
Hey, maybe you can tell the truth.
And all that misinformation you were talking about, everybody that spread those lies has now been fired, and you're a jackass.
That's good.
Good for him.
Really nice.
The DNC is looking for a new chair, and they had a bunch of candidates on a stage, and the question was asked of the candidates, who blames Kamala Harris's loss on racism and misogyny?
How many of them think...
How many of them do you think raised their hands?
unidentified
Let's see, clip 11. In this round, so I'm going to have a show of hands.
How many of you believe that racism and misogyny played a role in Vice President Harris' defeat?
By the way, I'm so sick of this crap, but you might as well just show it.
So, what I think is happening here, X is promoting left-wing accounts.
I believe that this is happening, and I think that it's a strategic maneuver to keep leftists on the platform.
Instead of going to Blue Sky.
And a lot of them threatened to leave.
They ended up not.
But now their accounts are getting boosted.
And so they're sticking around because they're getting a lot of traction.
And this was one of the biggest posts that got promoted everywhere.
And it says the new right, and it says the new right looks like Nazis, basically, because those images that you probably saw from that inaugural ball where the New Yorker intentionally cropped out black because those images that you probably saw from that inaugural ball where the New They intentionally cropped out black people from the picture and then just tried to make it look like it was all white people.
And then when you look at the expanded image, you see that it wasn't all white people.
Not that it even matters, but that was the tactic they engaged in.
And so the left ran with this and they said, look, these are the new fascists.
These are the new fascists.
It's a bunch of white chicks.
And so they hate white women.
They hate beautiful white women.
You understand?
This got over 70,000, it's probably over 100,000 likes now.
They really just hate white people.
Is it even a debate anymore, guys?
So they just see a picture of white women and it's just, these are fascists, these are Nazis.
You don't know anything about them.
You hate them because they're white.
Just admit it.
We all know it.
You're the real racists.
Everybody knows it.
So you can come out with all these different excuses.
Watching these confirmation areas and things, it's just really a breath of fresh air.
C-SPAN Reveals Classy Politicians00:05:51
unidentified
Especially when I see people like Tulsi Gabbard up there and RFK and Pete and them.
They're classy.
Just classy people.
And you compare them to the other.
Clown show that was in there, these fruitcakes, you know, stealing people's suitcases and wearing their clothes around, and the former head of HHS and the former head of FAA. What a clown show.
And then you get people like, you know, honest people in there, good-hearted Americans in there.
It's just kind of a disgrace, I think, to sit there and watch how these Democrats are basically slandering them.
But anyhow, just classy, classy folks.
I just want to put that out.
And say that on the helicopter accident, I've ridden several Blackhawks.
Most things are extremely maneuverable.
I don't know if anybody's...
I'm waiting to see the list of people that were on the flight.
Maybe if there's something tied with that or something.
The first thing I think of is it probably wasn't an accident.
Just like you and some of the other folks were kind of saying here.
Those things are so maneuverable, and they have such good vision.
They have such good sensors on there.
It'd be pretty hard, I think, to accidentally do that, all the sensors that they have and everything.
So it's going to be kind of wild to see what comes out of that and what's behind the story.
And kind of like you articulated earlier is the fact that it's hard to believe anything that they put out because there's been so many false narratives put out there.
The past and so many false flags.
But I'm sure that now that we have, you know, Trump in there, we'll get to the bottom of it.
And hopefully a lot of this stuff comes out.
And hopefully he brings out a lot of the other stuff, too, that we've all known about.
And it looks like he's hitting on a lot of that stuff, too, with all the child slavery and all this other kind of stuff.
He needs to start bringing all these people to Justice Hillary Clinton and her whole gang, Ula Abedin and all them.
They're bad.
They're really satanic.
I know people that worked in the FBI and seen some of the videos of them and their emails and things like that.
They're some wicked, wicked people, I'm telling you.
I think Hillary Clinton probably has to be right next to Satan after she goes.
Then you sit there and look at Gabbard, Pete, and Vivek, and all these other people up there, and see how classy they are compared to whacked-out, weirdo, clown show, tampon, Tim, and all these other knuckleheads up there.
Let me explain something about this, because it's not irrelevant.
So these confirmation hearings are obviously nothing new.
It used to be, most of the time, the only way you would ever see or hear them at all is if you went to C-SPAN. I don't know when C-SPAN first started broadcasting, maybe like the 80s.
Guys, find out when C-SPAN first started broadcasting.
But most people didn't watch.
They didn't watch.
And the cable news networks were already so formatted with commercials and scheduled news and produced segments, they wouldn't really cover the hearings.
You might see some clips in your nightly news segments, but they didn't really cover the hearings much either.
So unless you were watching C-SPAN, which nobody really does, it started in 79. Thank you, guys.
And then they launched their second channel in 86. Unless you were watching C-SPAN, which nobody was, you didn't really see this stuff.
Well, now, because of the internet, when I got on, I guess it was Wednesday, the RFK junior hearings started at 9 central.
And I log online, and if it was YouTube, if it was Rumble, the top trending videos were all confirmation hearings.
The Seamoss Gummies, the AlexJonesStore.com, Survival Shield X2, InfowarsStore.com.
Randy, I appreciate your support.
All right.
I do want to get to our final callers.
I'm going to try my best.
We have some breaking news right now.
An airplane crash in Philadelphia.
All I have right now, and the crew's going to try to bring me some stories here, but all I have right now is this video.
So this is breaking.
We have an airplane crash in Philadelphia.
I don't have any other details as far as what type of aircraft.
It sounds like it was a small personal aircraft, is what the crew is telling me, with maybe two people on board.
So this is just breaking right now.
Plane crash in Northeast Philadelphia leaves multiple houses on fire, causes explosion.
Two people on the plane.
Other injuries on the ground.
Multiple homes on fire.
Nobody knows what caused the crash at this point.
Victim status also not immediately available.
So, here we go.
Now what?
Is this going to be the new normal?
Just plane crashes all the time?
Truth is, these personal aircrafts are the most dangerous and experience the most crashes.
Usually, they're kind of in the middle of nowhere.
This one happens in a Philadelphia neighborhood.
So, just wanted to bring you that information as it's breaking.
Crazy sites, as people were recording on their home security videos and such, capturing this on camera.
All right.
Well, that does not look good.
Especially for the two that were on board the aircraft.
All right, let's go to Tom, Air Force veteran in California.
Tom, you're on the air.
unidentified
Go ahead.
Yeah, how you doing?
This is a kind of discussion about hacking the aircraft.
My background was guidance and control and then moved on to commercial airlines.
Avionics qualified airframe and power plant.
Then got into, as a defense contractor, doing autonomous systems.
So I have a varied background in how FMS systems work and all that.
So I'm going to venture much more into, like, this was an accident.
A lot more stuff coming out, but there's really...
I am not a helicopter guy, but there's not...
You need a way, I do IT actually right now, you need a methodology to get onto the air vehicle, and I'm going to refer to that as the helicopter, to be able to do that.
And there really isn't a methodology for some quote-unquote hacker to even do that.
They do have FMS systems on them.
I was a Honeywell guy.
That one's a little bit different, but I just kind of want to put to bed, like, it's a thousand times probably more probable that it was an accident.
So even though these systems can be run autonomously, you say that there's so much failsafe, it's very little chance?
unidentified
You would have to have a data link.
You'd have to know the encryption.
You'd have to match the encryption.
You would have to know the frequencies.
You would have to know so many things.
I don't even know how you would do it.
It was a very difficult time knowing, being on the inside, doing it to systems that will allow you to do that.
That is...
So, in my experience, I've been on commercial airliners, and I've also worked regional jet, and we did support for them.
And we would literally fly behind the pilot, literally like I'm sitting behind the throttles.
And the...
Because I was not...
I only did, like, you know, like, GA. I never did commercials, so I'm not a commercial pilot.
But those guys, when they're coming in on final, they're super focused on what we call ILS, so it's instrument landing systems, and they're trying to, it's dark, it's at night.
Their eyes are, I mean, they do scan, and I'm not a pilot, a commercial pilot should speak to this, but they're really focused on final.
Fighting for Health and Clearance00:09:21
unidentified
And they have, if they have clearance, they're expecting things to be out of the way.
It's at night.
During the day, it would be a lot different.
They're focusing on following the aircraft that's following its way.
And usually, commercial pilots like to land themselves.
So they're following the ILSN. And the Black Hawk helicopter, again, I just really...
The rumor, again, rumor is he was flying NVGs.
I haven't put those on in years, but what they've spoken is you're really tunnel-visioned with NVGs.
Hakeem Jeffries says, fight Trump supporters in the streets.
It's like what Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, they all said for years.
You know, I had the compilation here.
I'll probably just upload it on my X account.
But it's exactly what they did in 2016. 100%.
unidentified
And just like what General Flynn and anyone in strategy knows, like pushing through the objective because now they see that they're losing.
I feel like this club, this organization, this identity, because that's what it is, I feel like they're desperate and they're just going to get really violent.
And I don't know when, I don't know how, but I just, that's like my chest.
My chess player thinking.
So that's all I got, and hopefully some other guys can bring some insight into the game.
But you guys are keeping the good fight up, and God bless you guys.
And the other thing is, from a public relations element, something I'm a little bit familiar with, they got to change that Smith-Munn Act again and ban propaganda from being in the United States.
I haven't seen any studies yet, but the moment they got rid of that.
Folks, I'm not funded by any big corporations or anybody.

So Joe Rogan just put to bed the huge controversy online, particularly on X, I mean, trending some days, that I have been replaced by a clone.
