unidentified		The silent majority is no longer silent.
		This is The War Room with Owen Schroyer.
		Please stand by for further details.
pete hegseth ▲ ● ▼		We return you now to your regularly scheduled program.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Ladies and gentlemen, it is Thursday, May 29th, 2025.
		This is the InfoWars War Room.
		The fastest three hours on the internet.
		Starts now.
		All right.
		Well, the big story is you have what is being described as a judicial coup against President Trump, where you have these activist judges, and it's really, I guess, for most of these decisions, you can call them leftist judges.
		I'd be surprised to find out if Ronald Reagan or Donald Trump But it is a judicial coup.
		How is it that a group of judges or a group of activists posing as judges or a group of blackmailed individuals in a judge's gown Can tell the President of the United States, or better yet, tell the American people, you're not allowed to have a border.
		You're not allowed to deport illegal aliens.
		You're not allowed to have a balanced trade.
		Not allowed to have balanced foreign trade deals.
		You're just not allowed.
		Can't do it.
		You're just not allowed to have a country.
		That's what the judges are telling us.
		But the truth is, the coup happened a long time ago.
		We lost our country a long time ago.
		Now that somebody's in there trying to fix it, all of this is starting to come to the surface.
		So that's what this is.
		We've already had a corrupt judicial system.
		Whether it's blackmail, whether it's by choice, whether it's leftist activists, whatever it is, it's been corrupted.
		The whole system has been corrupted.
		In fact, it's so bad.
		Now, they're making a big deal about Musk no longer being in the White House and at Doge, but it's...
		There is bad news with it, but it was already coming to an end.
		He already had an end date on his deal as a special government employee.
		So it's not really news like they're saying, oh, Musk is leaving.
		Like, oh my gosh.
		It's not really breaking news.
		That's like me coming out and saying, I think there'll be three periods in the NHL hockey game tonight.
		It's like, whoa, there was three periods.
		It's like, yeah, that's the rules.
		So, the contract was already going to expire.
		They're making it out to be like some big breaking thing, like Trump is splitting with Musk, and nobody wants Musk around anymore, and he's a total failure.
		Well, none of that is true.
		However, what is true is that a lot of the work Doge has done is not being, how should we say it, implemented, I guess, would be the easiest word.
		It's not being implemented by Congress.
		Now, they've got all the excuses as to why they refuse to do it.
		They say they're going to give us 5% of doge cuts.
		5%.
		Now, I'm going to tell you what Musk said about all this, which I think gives us the better view into what's really going on.
		But we're not in the business of making excuses.
		We're in the business of results.
		So, deliver results.
		Stop with the excuses, because that's all we're going to get about, oh, why we can't get the dose cuts.
		We're not here to listen to why we can't get the dose cuts.
		We already have seen what needs to be cut, and if you're not going to do it, then we're looking right at you.
		You're part of the problem.
		And that's part of the coup, too.
		Just like the judicial coup, there's the government waste, fraud, and abuse coup.
		It's like we don't even have a country anymore.
		And then you try to get your country back.
		You try to get it back on the right track.
		Here come the traitors.
		Here come those that are part of the coup.
		Fourth wave, fifth wave, sixth wave, whatever it is, coup.
		And they're telling the President of the United States, they're telling the American people, no, you don't have a country.
		You don't get a country.
		You don't get to have borders.
		You don't get to have balanced trade.
		What, do you think you're a country?
		You think you can determine your fate?
		You know, so much of the story here...
		You just try to tell the truth to the American people.
	And then what do you get?
	You get the lying media.
	You get the lying propaganda agents.
	You get the lying politicians attacking you for telling the truth.
	You try to enact smart policy for the American people.
	You get the corrupt members of Congress.
	You get the corrupt members of the judicial system.
	You get the corrupt members of all of these federal bureaucracies and plus the media in on it as well.
	And then they try to stop you and tell you you can't do that so much of the story is
	Just that exhibition in this great revelation of how corrupt our political system and media really is, when it's all said and done, could end up being the most impactful part of President Trump.
	Now, I'd like to see the great economic success.
	I'd like to see some of the visions of Make America Great Again, like bringing back manufacturing, having common sense, strong border policy, immigration policy.
	I'd like to stop all the foreign interventions.
	It's like I can go down the list and say, here's all the great things that we'd like to see done.
	But with every endeavor you make, It's the same corrupt judicial system.
	The same corrupt federal government.
	The same corrupt American media.
	The same corrupt Democrat party.
	All getting in your way.
	And so, so much of this is just saying, hey, here, I'm going to do something good.
	Watch who comes out against it.
	That's been so much of the story.
	And so, even if Trump can't get a lot of his agenda done, we'll know who stood in the way.
	We'll know who blocked it.
	We'll know those are the bad guys.
	So that's maybe been the most important part, even, you could argue, of what President Trump has done since 2016.
	But this latest with these judges, I mean, folks, this is so in your face.
	And I just asked Trump, just keep going.
	Clearly, the administration will have your back.
	Maybe you were nervous about that in your first four years.
	This administration, I think, clearly has your back.
	The press secretary obviously has your back.
	We'll have a soundbite of her addressing this today.
	The American people will have your back.
	I just say to Trump, I just say keep going.
	Just keep going.
	Just do what you know is the right thing.
	Or as he put it, I forget the exact word, The exact words he used, but he says, a man who is saving his country is not committing any crimes.
	And I'm paraphrasing the exact statement he made, but that's what it is.
	No, President Trump, with you deporting, and now Stephen Miller and Tom Homan and Kristi Noem are putting added pressure onto ICE to get the deportation numbers way up.
unidentified		That's another story.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		I'd say, President Trump, you're doing the right thing.
		You know you're doing the right thing.
		You are well within your presidential powers plus your presidential immunity to balance the trade, to have trade negotiations.
		There it is, guys.
		He who saves his country does not violate any law.
		And that's damn right.
		And that's the difference.
		And see, I would actually...
		And I've talked about this in the past.
		It's not that he doesn't break any laws.
		Sometimes you might have to break a law to save the country.
		But that's why we don't have a legal system.
		We have a judicial system.
		We are not intended to be a land of laws.
		We are intended to be a land of justice.
		And there is a difference.
		Yes, we have laws that then get presented into a justice system where a jury of your peers and a judge are seeking justice.
		So yes, the question of law comes into play, but then it's a matter of justice.
		What is just...
unidentified		If you...
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Maybe this is a...
		But, I mean, if you see somebody who's about to get hit by a car, and you run out into the road, and you basically tackle them so that they don't get run over by a semi-truck, and in the process, maybe you break their leg or a rib or something, and then they sue you for assault, you say, well, yeah, technically you did assault this guy, and you say, but saved him from getting hit, run over by a semi-truck, maybe killed.
		Well, so the law would say, you broke the law.
		That's assault.
		That's battery.
		Justice would say, maybe you broke the law.
		You saved a guy's life.
		So you're not guilty of anything.
		You see the difference?
		But this is even beyond any philosophy about justice or law.
		This is a judicial coup on top of a federal coup on top of a Democrat party that is now...
		Just common goodness.
		I mean, they have people so convinced.
		They're out here, they're celebrating abortion, folks.
		You want to have a debate about the legalities of abortion?
		Fine.
		There is no debate whether it's moral or immoral.
		Killing your baby is immoral.
		And they have them out here celebrating it.
		But I digress.
		Here we are today.
		Americans should be infuriated at this message because that's what it is.
		This is a loud and clear message that you, the American people, and the United States of America as a country, you have no rights.
		You have no sovereignty.
		You don't get to decide your own fate.
		Totally illegal.
		20 million people can come into the country.
		Totally illegal.
		Not to mention the welfare and the crimes that follow and everything else.
		So the Biden administration opens the borders.
		Total invasion.
		Biggest invasion in the history of the world.
		Literally.
		It's the biggest invasion in the history of the world.
		20 million people.
		Not even close.
		Bigger than Barbarossa, which is historically recognized as the biggest land invasion.
		This was 10 times that.
		20 times that.
		Biggest land invasion in the history of the world.
		Nobody stopped him.
		Nobody stopped him.
		And that was actually against the law.
		Nobody stopped him.
		No judges stepped in.
		Nobody got arrested.
		But then Trump comes in and tries to seal the borders and deport all the illegal aliens, specifically the criminal ones.
		Now, all of a sudden, the judges say, no, you can't do that.
		Now, all of a sudden, it's debated about whether it's legal to have a border.
		Or to have deportations.
		What's the message?
		The message is loud and clear.
		America, you don't get to exist.
		You don't get to control your fate.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		No.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		No, you're supposed to open your borders and be invaded.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		That's what you're supposed to do.
unidentified		That's what you must accept.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		And the minute we elect President Trump to turn it around, the corrupt judicial system steps up and says, absolutely not.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		America is a land of open borders and illegal immigrants.
unidentified		That is unreal.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		And then they tell the American people, you're not even allowed to have balanced trade.
		You're supposed to take a loss.
		Imagine that.
		So, the expectation is the American people are supposed to pay for 20 million, 50 million, 100 million, a billion people to come into this country and live on welfare?
		You're just supposed to do that.
		That's what you're expected to do.
		And you're also expected to take a hit on trade.
		You're also expected to operate at a trade deficit.
		You're not allowed to have good trade negotiations.
		In fact, you're not even allowed to have any.
		Trade negotiations.
		There are no negotiations.
		It's, you're taking a loss, you're taking a deficit, and that's how it is.
		And if a president comes along and says, you know what, we're getting beat pretty badly here on trade.
		It's hurting us economically.
		We can do a lot better.
		I'm going to try to renegotiate, and I'm going to have some tactics here that might help us along in that process.
		The judicial system is going to come in and say, you can't do that?
		The judicial system is going to tell President Trump and tell the people of America, you're not allowed to have fair trade?
		You're not allowed to win?
		That's the message.
		No, America, you're supposed to lose.
		You're supposed to lose your country to open borders.
		You're supposed to lose your money to a trade deficit.
		Loud and clear for the American people to hear.
		This is it.
		This is the loud message.
		It's right in your face.
		It's right in your eardrum.
		You don't get to have a country.
		You don't get to have a president.
		You don't get to control your own future.
		You don't even get to have trade deals that benefit you.
		You have to have trade deals that hurt you.
		Well, what the hell is that?
		So the expectation is, maybe the world wants that.
		But this isn't a foreign country.
		This is our own judges.
		Are they blackmailed?
		Are they that corrupt?
		I don't know.
		It's our own Democrats.
		It's our own media.
		They're the ones telling you this.
		They're the ones telling you, you have to lose.
		You, an American.
		Don't get to control your future, and you must lose.
		That's the expectation.
unidentified		Now, this is...
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		And I wonder, because you always have to think about what's the strategy.
		And I almost wonder if they're going so far...
		If it's not just raw, unfiltered treason, which is what it is, but let's say if it's not just that, if there's something else on top of that, The strategy is to bait Trump into doing something against the courts so that then they can come after him for impeachment or sue him or, you know, charge him with some new crime.
		That's probably another angle to this.
		So it's just raw, unfiltered treason right in your face.
		But then they know, and Trump's probably aware of it too, That if Trump just ignores them and does the right thing, that they're going to come after him with charges, a new media scandal, impeachment, whatever.
		you know the deal.
		Just give him a middle finger and move forward without him.
		But he'll have his own strategy and he has his reasons for it.
		But the message is loud and clear today, folks.
		The message is loud and clear to all of America.
		They have decided you're done.
		They decided you're done.
		You don't get to elect a president anymore.
		You don't get to have a good economy.
		You don't get to have trade deals that benefit you.
		You don't get to have any manufacturing and production.
		You don't get to have a border.
		You don't get law enforcement that works for you, not against you.
		You don't get that.
		You're supposed to sit down, lay down, and lose.
		And lose everything.
		You're getting conquered.
		You're getting crushed.
		You're getting destroyed.
		We might still let you have a flag.
		We might still let you have a body of land.
		And, you know, maybe you can compete in the Olympics and the World Cup and stuff like that.
		You'll still have, like, a facsimile, an idea of a country, of a nation, but you don't really.
		You don't really have anything.
		We own you now.
		We control your destiny now.
		You're getting collapsed by design now.
		And it's all been exposed simply because we elected Donald Trump and he's trying to do these right things.
		He's trying to right a bunch of these wrongs.
		And here are the people that want the nation to collapse, that want to destroy America, getting in his way and telling you no.
		It's stunning to witness.
		It's infuriating how corrupt it is.
		And I'm not even getting into the dough stuff, where now we're told, no, you're not allowed to cut waste, fraud, and abuse.
		That's part of the deal.
		That's part of us collapsing you, is stealing all your money.
		Just to put a little icing and cherry on top of the whole treason destroying of the country.
		They just want to let you know, hey, part of this is we're also stealing all your money too.
		And if you try to stop that, huh.
		Have 5%.
		Chew on that a little bit, little guy.
		So here's Press Secretary Caroline Levitt opening her statements today on this issue in clip 10....of judicial overreach.
karoline leavitt ▲ ● ▼		The United States has run a trade deficit of goods every year since 1975.
		In 2024, our trade deficit in goods exceeded One trillion dollars.
		Everybody agrees this is unacceptable.
		President Trump is delivering on his promise to fix this problem.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		You know, let me pause this real quick.
		You know, part of the challenge is when you do media, specifically live media, is being able to communicate effectively so that people understand what you're saying.
		And we had a...
		Taylor Lorenz on earlier.
		And we had an interesting little conversation.
		And I realized after it, I was like, okay, I get what she's saying now.
		Maybe we do agree, but she didn't communicate it well.
		And I'll follow up with that later.
		But here's why I'm saying this.
		Listen to what Caroline Levitt just said here.
		In fact, guys, let's rewind the tape here because I've gone off track a little bit.
		Listen, I want to really put this in perspective for people.
		I really want you to understand exactly what we're talking about here.
		All right?
		So I get a little off track here.
		Let's hear this one more time from Caroline Levitt, and I'm going to communicate to you exactly how bad it really is in the most basic, unfiltered, consumable way possible.
		Play Levitt again.
karoline leavitt ▲ ● ▼		Of judicial overreach.
		The United States has run a trade deficit of goods every year since 1975.
		In 2024, our trade deficit in goods exceeded...
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Okay, that's it.
		Thank you very much.
		Pause right there.
		In 2024, our trade deficit was $1 trillion.
		Musk and the Doge team believes they have found $2 trillion of waste, fraud, and abuse.
		But let's play conservative and say that's even on the high end, and we'll go with a trillion.
		A trillion dollars.
		So, between the trade deficit of a trillion dollars and government waste, fraud, and abuse of a trillion dollars, ladies and gentlemen, that's two trillion dollars.
		I mean, these are clown numbers.
		Clown numbers.
unidentified		Two trillion dollars.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		And we're taking the hit.
		Trillion dollars.
		Are you listening, America?
		Are you listening?
		Two trillion dollars.
		And the minute President Trump says, you know what?
		We're not going to take another two trillion dollar hit annually.
		We're not going to do it anymore.
		In fact, here's an idea.
		Let's try to make $2 trillion.
		Radical idea, I know.
		Instead of losing $2 trillion annually, let's try to make $2 trillion annually.
		Wow, that's a $4 trillion reversal.
		And the Democrats say no.
		And the Republicans say no.
		And the corrupt court system says no.
		And the American people say no.
		That is unbelievable.
		I'm not getting into anything complex.
		We could talk about national security, like she says.
		We can get into all the different complex issues.
		We're talking raw numbers, basic math.
		Anybody can understand it.
		$2 trillion.
		You're just expected.
		You, the American people, you're just expected.
		No, no, no, no, no.
		You take a $2 trillion hit every year.
		No, you just take it.
		No, no, no.
		You don't...
		You shut up.
		Shut up, dirty American.
		Silence.
		You don't get to stop waste, fraud, and abuse.
		We're taking that trillion dollars every year that we spend on gay comic books and studying gay fish in Uzbekistan.
		You know, all those very important projects that you pay for.
		You're not cutting that.
		You're paying us a trillion dollars for our garbage that we're getting kickbacks on or just taking the money outright.
		Oh, and that trillion-dollar trade deficit you're trying to reverse?
		Yeah, you can forget about that, too.
		You're paying that deficit.
		Yeah, you're paying that.
		Trump is trying to have that reversed, ladies and gentlemen, and look at all the people standing in his way.
		This is just raw, basic stuff.
		This is not political wonk.
unidentified		This is not even...
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		This is me telling the average American person, do you realize you're getting robbed of $2 trillion every year?
		Does that not bother you?
		And that's why Elon Musk and this Doge team is just like...
		And it's not even their fault.
		It is unimaginable.
		It is so hard to believe how corrupt American politics are, folks.
		It is...
unidentified		It is...
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		How corrupt the U.S. government is.
		I mean, it is, honestly, we're getting to a point of realization, I think, now where it's almost like you just have to hit the reset button.
		You just, it's like, you just gotta flush the toilet and hit the reset button.
		Because if we're gonna be told, as Americans, if we're gonna be told, nope, you're paying a trillion dollars a year in a trade deficit, and you're paying a trillion dollars a year in waste, fraud, and abuse, and there's nothing you can do about it.
		Then what are we doing here?
		What are we doing?
		I'm done.
		I'm done.
		The American people are done.
		We're not going to pay taxes anymore.
		We're not going to follow any laws anymore.
		There's no courts anymore.
		It's done.
		If that's the message to the American people, which it is today, then when do we just say, okay, we're done, we're not playing anymore?
		Oh, this is breaking.
		Donald Trump comes out and says Americans can breathe oxygen and a court has struck him down.
		And the courts say you cannot breathe oxygen, actually, against Donald Trump.
		All right, maybe we're not in that, we're not that far into the lunacy zone yet, but we're flirting with it, aren't we?
		I mean, this is crazy.
		All right, I talked over Caroline Levitt addressing this, so this is from the press secretary earlier today.
karoline leavitt ▲ ● ▼		President Trump is delivering on his promise to fix this problem, and he has taken a long overdue and much-needed bold stance for American workers after decades of our manufacturing base being hollowed out.
		The president's rationale for imposing these powerful tariffs was legally sound and grounded in common sense.
		President Trump correctly believes that America cannot function safely long-term if we are unable to scale advanced domestic manufacturing capacity, have our own secure critical supply chains, and our defense industrial base is dependent on foreign adversaries.
		Three judges of the U.S. Court of International Trade disagreed and brazenly abused their judicial power to usurp the authority of President Trump to stop him from carrying out the mandate that the American people gave him.
		These judges failed to acknowledge that the President of the United States has core foreign affairs powers and authority given to him by Congress to protect the United States economy and national security.
		Congress had created the National Emergency Act to provide the congressional framework to strike down improper IEPA use.
		And any questions over whether President Trump improperly imposed these IEPA tariffs were already adjudicated in Congress following Liberation Day.
		Congress firmly rejected an effort led by Senator Rand Paul and Democrats to terminate the president's reciprocal tariffs.
		The courts should have no role here.
		There is a troubling and dangerous trend of unelected judges inserting themselves into the presidential decision-making process.
		America cannot function if President Trump, or any other president for that matter, has their sensitive diplomatic or trade negotiations railroaded by activist judges.
		President Trump is in the process of rebalancing America's trading agreements with the entire world, bringing tens of billions of dollars in tariff revenues to our country, and finally ending the United States of America from being ripped off.
		These judges are threatening to undermine the credibility of the United States on the world stage.
		The administration has already filed an emergency motion for a stay pending appeal, and an immediate administrative stay to strike down this egregious decision.
		But ultimately, the Supreme Court must put an end to this for the sake of our Constitution and our country.
		With Congress returning next week, it's critical that Senate Republicans maintain the momentum and quickly pass the one big...
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		We know there's going to be some issues with that, but we'll see next week.
		Now, the appellate court...
		And the decision of these other judges that he's not allowed to negotiate trade deals is just absurd.
		So there's a lot.
		They're just clogging all of this up in the judicial process.
		It's all anti-Americanism.
		It's all anti-Trumpism.
		And, you know, a lot of it is also because of...
		Let's not ignore that factor.
		Just look at what they've done to Elon Musk and people that own Teslas.
		So, I mean, we are dealing with the biggest terror group in the Western Hemisphere.
		It's the Democrat Party.
		It's the biggest hate group, terror group in American history.
		So we are dealing with that threat as well.
		People are well aware of it.
		So you've got that going on too.
		But you combine that with what's going on with Doge.
		And, you know, I try to translate things.
		So that you can understand what's really going on.
		Elon Musk posts this last evening.
		So cut through all the headlines, deceptive headlines and garbage about Musk and leaving Doge and everything.
		Just cut through all that.
		I'm going to tell you what the truth is.
		Elon Musk says...
		The Doge mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.
		So, in other words, as Musk referenced earlier this week with some other posts that we covered, in other words...
unidentified		That's it.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		They're just not interested.
		Democrats, Republicans, federal agencies, they're just not interested.
		The interest is just not there, and it hasn't crossed a political threshold yet so that we can actually do the work that we've That's what Musk is saying.
		Now, I tend to agree with the final direction of what Musk is saying here.
		The Doge mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.
		There is no doubt political culture in America is changing rapidly.
		There's no doubt that The type of people that are interested or can get involved or get access to politics is changing and expanding rapidly.
		We haven't quite gotten to a point where that is reflective in Congress or the federal government, but we will get there.
		Now, whether we have a country or not in five to ten years, that's kind of the big question, I suppose.
		but And something that doesn't get talked about enough is how the youth views American politics, political transactionism, political culture, and how it is totally different.
		Everything is different.
		And you're probably two election cycles away, maybe four.
		And I'm talking midterms and presidential, so maybe four.
		Two or four.
		Political culture and representation in America is about to permanently and drastically change.
		And you're already starting to see it right now with some people in Congress that, hey, look, they want to go along to get along.
		They didn't really get in there to be a thorn in the side of the establishment, but they might be true conservatives and they might be Good Americans, good people.
		So even they have their lines in the sand, and the Doge thing has been a revealing factor.
		And I look at this exchange.
		I've got a couple examples of this.
		I look at this exchange between Scott Perry and Eric Burleson here, who I think represent more of the kind of the middle.
		The interim Republican Party, if you will, where you have your old-school neocon Republican Party, the Bushes, the McCains, that we've completely eradicated now.
		And there's still some holdovers and some neocons and some of that money that still kind of floats around.
		A lot of that is, you could even argue, is AIPAC as well.
		But they play both sides.
		So we've already eradicated kind of the neocon control.
		Just total corruption of the Republican Party.
		We have eradicated that with electing Donald Trump.
		But there's still holdovers.
		There's still influence.
		It's not dead and buried, but, I mean, it's not...
		So you have these kind of middle people that I would say, like an Eric Burleson and a Scott Perry, who are good Americans.
		They're not corrupt.
		They didn't necessarily get into politics to go in there and start turning over tables and turning over carts and making a bunch of noise and stalling things up and, you know, making a big name for themselves.
		They just got in there to represent their districts and vote the right way and be good conservative Republicans.
		So Rick Perry, excuse me, Scott Perry says, I voted for the imperfect One Beautiful Bill after fighting tirelessly with the Freedom Caucus for weeks.
		And Elon Musk is right.
		Everyone likes to talk the doge talk.
		But when it comes to walking the walk and making real cuts, the swamp folded.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Eric Burleson responds.
		He says Elon Musk handed Congress a free, high-powered audit of the entire federal government.
		Months later, the doge cuts, clear common-sense reductions, still haven't been codified.
		It's infuriating.
		Now, I've been monitoring this.
		I've been saying this on the air for weeks now, how...
		So, yeah, you're going to start seeing and hearing Republicans saying, hey, what the hell is going on?
		We can't even get these doge cuts through?
		What's wrong with our party?
		Well, not everybody's really in it for America.
		So I see a Burleson as somebody who's in there, an honest man, a good man.
		But the next crop of Republicans, they're going to run and get in with the specific purpose of turning over tables, turning over carts, every doge cut possible and more, shutting down federal bureaucracies.
		That's the future of the right wing.
		That's where this is all going.
		And the less, quite frankly, we get in results from the Trump administration, it only means that the next crop of Republicans are going to be even more hardcore.
		Now, I don't know what that translates to on a presidential ticket, but when it comes to voters' expectations, and when it comes to Republican representatives, it's going to be way more hardcore than even Donald Trump.
		Donald Trump will be, like, neutral.
		Compared to some of the things you're going to see and hear from future Republicans in two or three or four election cycles.
		So when Musk says the Doge mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government, I do believe he's right.
		And I think that he sees what I'm seeing, which is politics is changing fast.
		A new generation of...
		Two, three, four election cycles, you're going to be over 50% operational capacity, and now you're going to cross the threshold, and you will have Doge cuts.
		But yeah, it's infuriating that we have to sit here and wait this process out.
		And you could argue, well, this is the genius of our political system, which I suppose is fair, but the problem is we've been so abused for so long now that the political system was never designed for us to sustain such abuse.
		So you can say, well, this is the political system working.
		It's supposed to make things hard to do.
		Well, gee, it didn't seem so hard for them to sell us out, though.
		There didn't seem to be too many obstacles in our government selling us out and treating us like the criminals and treating us like the bad guy.
		That didn't seem to have much resistance.
		But boy, oh boy, you see the resistance now that we're trying to change that culture.
		White House slams blatantly wrong court decision blocking Trump tariffs.
		You're not allowed to make money, America.
		You have to pay the USAID fraud.
		You have to pay for all the foreign conflicts.
		You have to take the trade deficit.
		And if you try to do otherwise, we'll stop you.
		Then there's the Fed.
		Ridiculous.
		Jerome Powell had a private meeting with Donald Trump.
		More is coming out from this meeting.
		Trump in private meeting with Jerome Powell tells Fed it's a mistake not to cut rates.
		Fed jail Jerome Powell met with Trump at the White House Thursday and told him rate decisions can't be political.
		No, they're supposed to hurt the American people, don't you know?
		Powell defends Fed independence after Trump pressures him to cut interest rates.
		Oh, that's nice.
		So the Fed gets to be independent.
		It's an odd admission from Jerome Powell.
		Oh, we get to be independent of politics.
		Oh, that's convenient for you, isn't it?
		Well, what about the courts?
		What about all these federal bureaucracies?
		They don't seem to be independent of politics.
		They all seem to be on the anti-Trump political train.
		So that's funny.
		Oh, but the Fed is independent.
		Oh, it is.
		You mean like it's a private bank?
		Oh, I see.
		So the Fed that's ruling over us, they're independent of you.
		They're above you now.
		Totally unconstitutional.
		Now, why does Trump want the cut?
		Well, it's pretty obvious here.
		Home sellers face an absolutely brutal market that's tilting in buyers' favor.
	Now, anybody that follows real estate has witnessed what's going on, or anybody that owns a house, or anybody that's trying to move, you know exactly what's going on.
	I mean, I've experienced this where I bought a house in the first Trump administration.
	Where you could get in with an interest rate 2%, 3%, 4%.
	But now, if you want to sell or you want to buy, you're dealing with 7% minimum.
	They're not going any lower.
	You might be able to get it lower if you have a massive down payment, like more than 50%.
	But it's still tough.
	So what they've done is they've wiped out your equity.
	And now for the first time ever, That I've ever seen.
	Normally, financial advisors would tell you, no, you want to own your home.
	You want to get that equity.
	It's a better financial decision.
	Now, you'll see financial advisors saying, well, actually, you know what?
	There's some circumstances where you're not getting any equity.
	You're losing your equity.
	And the price you're going to pay to rent in the long term might actually be less than what you're paying when you own.
	Because of the taxes.
	Because of the interest rates and then the volatility now of the housing market, which is unknown and going down.
	So Trump is just saying, hey, let's ease this up on Americans here.
	Let's give them a little more agility in the housing market.
	Let's give them a chance.
	Can we give Americans a chance in the housing market?
	You think?
	Maybe we can just get these interest rates a little down just to give them a chance against the big guys?
	And Powell says, nope, the Fed is independent.
	Nope, we're crushing the Americans.
	But hey, the big teams that can come in here like BlackRock, the big teams that can come in here like Berkshire Hathaway, 7% interest, 10% interest, 100%, it doesn't matter to them.
	They've got the capital.
	So all the capital has been removed from the American people, given to...
	They don't give a damn about the interest rate.
	And Trump just asks the Fed, he's like, hey, it's not political.
	It's, let's help the American people.
	There's no agility in the housing market.
	They don't know what to do.
	They can't afford to buy a house.
	Can we just give them a little break?
	Can we give them a chance?
	Let's give the American a chance, Jerome.
	Let's lower the interest rates.
	He says, nope.
	Can't do it.
	Unbelievable.
	You're just, again, this is the expectation now as an American.
	We will change this.
	It's going to be basically a battle of futility for the next four to eight years probably.
	But we're going to turn this around.
	Americans are not going to be used and abused and enslaved by this system.
	We're not going to do it.
	We're done.
	We're waking up.
	We're having a renaissance.
	We're taking our country back.
	We're taking our future back.
	You're not going to tell us that we have to lose because we're America.
	You're not going to tell us that because we're American, we're inherently bad, and therefore we owe the rest of the world all of this garbage, all of our money, our military.
	We're done with that game.
	We're done.
	No, America's actually the good guy.
	The world has actually benefited from America.
	I would actually argue that the world owes us maybe a little bit.
	But we're not even asking for that.
	We just want fairness.
	We just want our country back.
	We just want to be able to make our own decisions.
	We just want a chance.
	And here comes Jerome Powell.
	You don't get that chance.
	So we're crushing your equity.
	We're making you pay at least 7% interest rates.
	Oh, but if BlackRock wants to come in here and buy up all the real estate assets, no problem.
	We invite that, actually.
	And then, hey, you can go rent.
	Good for you.
	Go rent something.
	You don't need to own anything anyway.
	Who wants to own anything?
	No.
	No, I think we're done with that.
	I think America is ready to move on from that idea.
	By the way, here's Peter Doocy with a little bit of a joke earlier today during the press conference in clip 11. So many of the president's plans right now are being blocked by courts.
peter doocy ▲ ● ▼		If the courts are going to be the ones who are shaping policy, does the president wish he would have just become a judge instead?
karoline leavitt ▲ ● ▼		I think the president would take this job over being a judge, and certainly the president is acting within his authority.
karoline leavitt ▲ ● ▼		He wishes judges would do the same.
peter doocy ▲ ● ▼		So the courts are basically telling you guys, they think that the White House's policies, the president's policies, are in some way against the law.
peter doocy ▲ ● ▼		So why can't President Trump ask the Republicans that control the House and the Republicans that control the Senate just to make a new law?
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Now, beside the corruption angle, there's a brainwashing angle as well that is very key to all of this.
		Obviously, you've got corrupt judges and bureaucrats and politicians and everything else, but...
		but they actually still kind of believe the legacy media propaganda, and they're actually contemplating in their head, and they're thinking, oh boy.
		You know, this Trump, he's like Hitler.
		This Trump, you know, he's a fascist.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		He's a racist.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		So then they kind of feel like, oh, I don't want to be on that legacy.
		I don't want to be on that side.
		Or, oh, I'm going to take my little stand against Trump here.
		In my little fiefdom of my courtroom, I'll take my stand against the evil, nasty Donald Trump.
		Because they believe the legacy media lies.
		And that's why the work that we do here at Infowars, you know, somebody asked me the other day, why did you leave sports media to get into political media?
		And I said, simple.
		I didn't have to hesitate.
		It's because America's worth fighting for.
		I could be goofing off, following sports, enjoying myself, field access, press access, whatever.
		America's worth fighting for.
		And it's the American news media, the corporate news media, the political propaganda media is one of our biggest problems.
		They have turned themselves into an enemy of the American people.
		So yeah, I made a decision early in my media career.
		I'm going to set out to completely destroy them.
		I'm going to set out to expose them and destroy them.
		And I looked up and I said, who's the leader at that?
		Who's won the most championships at that?
		Who's got the best legacy?
		At destroying the fake news media propaganda.
		Why, that'd be Alex Jones and Infowars.
		Maybe I'll go work there.
		And, you know, plenty of people warned me about what would happen.
		Sure enough, been arrested, what, five times?
		Sued ten times?
		You know, everything else.
		Oh, sure.
		Sure, I heard the advice.
unidentified		There's no doubt.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		No doubt.

		TheAlexJonesStore.com All right, let's go to Pete Hegseth here, talking about the important work from Doge at the Pentagon in clip six.
pete hegseth ▲ ● ▼		When President Trump asked me to serve as the Secretary of Defense, he gave all of us and me the mission of restoring the warrior ethos.
		And we're focused on that every single day.
		Now, one way we're doing this is by finding out what works at DOD and also what doesn't work.
		And that begins by finding out where we are spending taxpayer dollars.
		Now, part of what we've uncovered is that the Defense Department has become very much over-reliant on management consultants and contractors.
		We found that we likely have more contractors than we have civilian employees.
		And many of them, those contractors, are making more money than our career senior executive employees.
		To give you one example.
		The Air Force, working as a team with DOGE, cut that department's largest management consulting program.
		This joint team conducted a line-by-line audit of over 50 contract vehicles, saving a billion dollars on the current program, a billion, and canceling its $3.8 billion extension, which we all know inevitably would have been spent.
		These, combined with other reviews over the past two weeks, Have resulted in, get this, more than $5 billion in savings for the Department of Defense.
		Yes, $5 billion in addition to the over $5 billion we've already found in working with Doge.
		So that brings the tally now to over $10 billion in real savings at the Department of Defense working with Doge.
		And we're just getting started.
		I've empowered the Deputy Secretary of Defense, Steve Feinberg, a man with decades of practical executive experience in the private sector, to work with the services and those to review all of our consulting contracts.
		We need to replace wasteful spending in favor of a culture focused on, get this, actual financial responsibility and stewardship, so that our limited funds are spent better On, you know, things like health care and mission-related programs for our warfighters and their families.
		And that's why today I'm signing three separate memos dealing with reforming the Pentagon, reducing bureaucracy, and moving money toward the needs of our warfighters.
		The first memo, and all three are right in front of me right here, responsibly reduces the number of management consultants and contractors.
		Again, these are consultants.
		Not frontline fighters.
		They're giving us PowerPoints that we need less of and we need more actual application.
		Second, it lays out, the second memo lays out needed reforms to the department's usage of executive assistance.
		Think about proper ratios.
		And the third restructures the department's operational and test evaluation office, which will make testing and fielding weapons more efficient.
		So that warfighters get what they need faster.
		Again, we worked with the services.
		These are changes, especially that last one, that they really want in order to go faster with the capabilities that they need.
		So we're committed to reducing bloated bureaucracy and wasteful spending in favor of increased lethality.
		That's a tradeoff I will take every single day.
		Converting consultants into combat power.
		That's what we're doing here at the Defense Department.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		By the way, Pete Hegseth, who I think is doing a great job, is in the headlines again.
		White House stunned as Hegseth's inquiry brings up illegal wiretap claims.
		The White House has lost confidence in a Pentagon leak investigation that Pete Hegseth used to justify firing three top aides last month after advisors were told that the aides had supposedly been outed in a warrantless NSA wiretrap.
		Within Hegseth's divided inner circle, a Cold War endures.
		Now, I think basically when Hegseth fired those people, I think he came up and he said, look, you know, there's pressure coming from the Pentagon.
		They're investigating you involved with this scandal.
		I'm sorry to do this.
		I got to let you go.
		Looks like it was the wrong decision, whether they're done for the right reason or not.
		But the whole thing now, I think the White House is realizing, and then with the replacement of Mike Waltz, I think they're realizing, yeah, somebody's definitely spying on us, but it wasn't the people the Pentagon told us, and it wasn't Pete Hegseth doing it.
		All right, second hour here of the InfoWars War Room.
		Guys, can you do me a favor?
		Would you pull up the show headline from, I believe it would have been Tuesday.
		Let's go ahead and look at that show headline.
		I think it was Tuesday, though.
		I'm fairly confident it was Tuesday.
		Do me a favor, guys.
		See if you can pull up Tuesday's show headline because I'd like to follow up with that if you would allow me.
		I think it was Tuesdays.
		It might have been Mondays.
		I'm thinking it was Tuesdays, though.
		We're going to pull that up.
		It's actually imperative that we pull that up.
		Let's see.
		Oh, there it is.
		Next Democrat Trump hoax revealed Biden cancer cover-up will be used to attack Trump's health status.
		Okay, guys, thank you.
		There's the date on the screen.
		That was Tuesday.
		All right, well, let's take a look at the headlines I have in front of me here then, shall we?
		For today.
		Trump shows signs of cognitive decline, says speech expert.
		Here it is.
		Nearly half of Americans think aging Trump is lying about his health.
		The conversations Trump's doctors should be having with him.
unidentified		Oh, yes.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		All of these are on Drudge.
		And this is just, I just pulled three of them from, you know, dozens.
		Never doubt me, folks.
		Never doubt me, folks.
		And this is just the beginning, by the way.
		That's just the opening act.
		The curtain really hasn't even been drawn on this deal.
		No.
		They're going to ramp it up.
		And they'll say, well, you know, we got deceived by Biden.
		We can't let it happen again.
unidentified		This Trump health cover-up is too obvious.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		It's just so bad.
		I would challenge you to find...
		Just shy of 80 or something?
		I would actually challenge you to find a healthier 80-year-old than Donald Trump.
		Or at least a more active.
		At least a guy that works as much as he does.
		I can't say I know one.
		I know a couple guys that are up there.
		They get after it in the gym.
		But they're not 80. A couple in their 70s that are pretty impressive, I'll say.
		I tell them, I'm like, man, I hope I'm lifting weights like you when I'm 70. No, I don't think there's too many you can find.
		78 years old Donald Trump.
		I don't think there's too many you can find.
		But, oh, his health is the problem, and it's clear now.
		After the Biden health cover-up, we have to pay very close attention to Trump's health.
		It must be bad.
		We can't be deceived again.
		See, there's always an alternative angle.
		There's always a next play.
		It's like laying up in golf.
		It's like, hey, why did you just take that easy shot right into the middle of the fairway?
		Well, because my next shot, I'm going for the green.
		So the Biden cancer cover-up.
		My admission was them just laying it up so that then they can hit it onto the green and say, see, this is really about Trump's health.
		But that was, you know, I mean, that one was so, that was a little too easy.
		That one, maybe it was a little too easy to call that one, guys.
		Maybe we should ratchet it down a little bit, shall we?
		All right.
		We'll ratchet it down then.
		All right.
		Meanwhile, how about a follow-up of this?
		So, I don't know how many videos Project Veritas got of David Hogg.
		You know, I'm curious.
		I guess I'm going to listen a little closer here because, you know, I know a lot of these undercover guys and girls, and this is just, I don't know why this is the case, but it is.
		Project Veritas, most of its undercover journalists until maybe the switch was like about 2018, if there was a date you could put on it.
		But before 2018, Most of your Undercover Project Veritas journalists were women and good-looking women that most men would desire to go out on a date with.
		So that's how they were able to get a lot of this stuff.
		And then after 2018, it became like mostly gay men.
		And so then they started having to send men in or gay men in to entrap a lot of these people to these admissions that they get on Undercover Camera.
		So I bring that up with David Hogg, and maybe this will give us a little bit of an insight into how he swings or doesn't.
		But nonetheless, so Project Veritas has David Hogg.
		They have at least two parts out now.
		This is part two.
		Yesterday he was talking about how Biden didn't run anything, and it was basically just a coup in the White House, and he didn't run anything, and there were all these advisers running everything.
		It's amazing how Hogg, Which, you know, maybe you give him credit for that.
		But so here he is, part two, talking insider trading with the Project Veritas undercover journalist.
unidentified		I would say Pelosi's actually very good at her job.
		I don't agree with the stock trading stuff.
		I mean, she gets better returns than almost every headline in this city.
		Every year.
		Some of these members of Congress make trades that are, like, way too well-timed to not have, like, insider knowledge.
		They happen to be some of the best financial analysts in human history.
		Have you spoken against that?
		I've talked to you in the past, but it's also like...
		Like, the hardest part about my job is I just want to burn everything down because it's all so corrupt.
		But you've got to pick your battles and slowly build your momentum.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Boy, that's the most rational thing I've ever heard him say.
unidentified		Joining us now, DNC Vice Chair David Hawk.
		We're not going to go after Pelosi.
		One, we wouldn't beat her, even if we wanted to.
		That's part of it.
		But two, it's not necessary to fight when there's other members that are far weaker.
		And I would say Pelosi's actually very good at her job.
		I don't agree with the stock trading stuff.
		You don't?
		No.
		Some of these members of Congress make trades that are, like, way too well-timed to not have, like, insider knowledge.
		Do you think that's how Pelosi is worth hundreds of millions of dollars?
		I mean, she gets better returns than almost every headcount in this city.
		Every year.
		And you don't think that has to change?
		No, it does.
		How would you change that?
		I'd just ban members of Congress from owning stock.
		I'd put their assets in a blind truck.
		You're going to prop up candidates who impose that?
		Is that your goal, to prop up candidates?
		Yeah, in part, yeah.
		Yeah, because it's a long haul.
		There's 435 members.
		and most likely 430 of them are doing the same thing, I think it's a pretty good guess.
		Allegedly.
		Yeah.
		Just conveniently.
		They happen to be some of the best financial analysts in human history.
		Have you spoken against that?
		I've talked to you in the past, but it's also like...
		The hardest part about my job is I just want to burn everything down because it's all so corrupt.
		But you've got to pick your battles and slowly build your momentum.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		You know what's so amazing about these undercover videos is it gives you probably the most organic view.
		Into who these people really are.
		And that's why when they released that Pam Bondi tape, I was like, this is actually the most I've liked Pam Bondi since she's become the Attorney General.
		This is like the first time I've ever heard Pam Bondi talk where it's like, okay, I think she's actually being honest, ironically enough.
		So it's kind of the same thing.
		I hear that and I'm like, you know, Hogg here actually sounds kind of rational.
unidentified		And I think that...
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		the radical left is going to take over the Democrat Party.
		And if you listen to Hogg, I think he kind of realizes it, but he says, you know, I've got to pick and choose my battles, and I've got to play the long game.
		I think AOC has kind of realized that as well.
		And I think Bernie is going to use all of his political capital to help usher in that takeover.
		And it'll be, you know, I mean, Nancy Pelosi, she's not going to live forever.
		And I'm not wishing death on anybody.
		But, I mean, she looks like death warmed over.
		She looks like a Skeksi from the Dark Crystal.
		I mean, if you had to pick a person that looks like a Skeksi, it's Nancy Pelosi.
		So they know it's only a matter of time before the radical left takes over.
		And it's strange because I rally against the radical left all day long, but I would actually prefer an honest radical left run the Democrat Party than what we have now.
		Because then you can actually have real debates about their issues and our issues.
		But if you listen to what he says, he says, the whole system is so corrupt I want to burn it to the ground.
		Do you not agree with that?
		So it's like, that's the horseshoe theory.
		It's like, yeah, the left likes abortion, and the left likes gun control, and they've got issues on policies that we'll obviously disagree with, but at least we'll have that debate.
		But let's have the obvious agreement here that American politics and the U.S. government is so corrupt, it's like you can't even save it now.
		And a lot of this experiment with Doge and now the Trump administration 2.0 is kind of proving just that.
		American politics, the U.S. government, this thing is so corrupted, there's nothing else you can do.
		You gotta just hit the reset button now.
		It's so far gone.
		So even David Hogg has to admit it.
		Now he comes from it.
		A different approach, obviously, a different ideology, but it's like, yeah, I think we're reaching this point where the new left, the new right, with the horseshoe theory, agree on one thing.
		Whether they'll admit it or not is a different story.
		This government is so beyond corrupt.
		It's beyond repair.
		It's just, we gotta hit the reset button.
		That's how bad this is.
		So he's got his issues, and he's a gun control guy, and that's what he's probably gonna run the rest of his political career with.
		But hey, David, I agree.
		Maybe we can work from that.
		We both agree that the government is so bad as he says he wants to burn it to the ground.
unidentified		Well, maybe we have some...
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		I think we've got a launch pad here for the future of the right, which would completely agree.
		Government's so corrupt.
		Future of the left.
		Agrees as well.
		So where do we go from there?
		Well, you're going to find out.
		You're going to find out in a couple years.
		Who's about to find out anyway?
		Who is about to find out?
		Are we going to find out who was really running the Biden administration?
		Got some developments on this today.
		James Comer teases subpoenas for Joe and Jill Biden.
		Now this is on top of, as well as Ron Klain, the five former Biden aides who are facing subpoena threats.
		Now they have a deadline tonight to come in and agree to a transcribed interview, a transcribed testimony with the Oversight Committee.
		If they don't respond by the end of tonight, Comer has said he's going to subpoena their appearance.
		So, okay, let's find out what they're going to do.
		And you know, maybe one decides to make their decision on their own, but that's not how these Democrats operate.
		They're all talking to one another, and they're all deciding what they want to do.
		As a group moving forward.
		You might have one go rogue, but that's highly unlikely.
		It'd be good if one did, but I doubt that.
		So if they do decide they're going to come in for the transcribed interview, then they're all going to do it.
		And they're all going to get their story straight before they do.
		If they decide they're not going to do it and the subpoena flies, that means that the entire Biden White House scam team So you'll get a little bit of a better idea about what they decide by the end of tonight.
		But Comer has said they will be subpoenaed for this testimony if they do not agree by the end of tonight.
		I think Comer's serious.
		I wouldn't say I have 100% faith that that will happen, but I'd say it's over 50%.
		I think Comer's serious.
		It's hard to put faith in any politician for anything.
		Biden White House aides face oversight deadline amid threat of subpoenas.
		It's going to be the end of the night.
		Comer's demanding high-ranking staffers in Biden's White House appear for transcribed interviews on their suspected roles, working behind the scenes to cover up the former president's mental decline during his term, as well as the autoped.
		Now, the individuals in question have had their attorneys activated reaching out to the House Oversight Committee.
		and former Deputy Director of the Oval Office Operations, Ashley Williams.
		No contact yet with Dr. Kevin O 'Connor, who is the doctor that wrote that Biden health report saying, perfectly healthy, we examined everything, never been a healthier man in the history of the world than Joe Biden.
		So he obviously lied about that on the presidential letterhead.
		James Comer is also open to hauling Biden himself before a panel for hearing on his cognitive state and auto pen use.
		The possible crimes in the auto pen scandal.
		Here are the actual possible crimes committed or the crimes that were committed.
		If anybody has the balls to charge them with it is another question.
		Forgery of United States documents.
		Impersonation of a federal officer.
		False statements.
		Conspiracy to defraud the United States.
		Obstruction of justice.
		Wire or mail fraud.
		So these are all just different violations of the U.S. Code.
		I'm not going to give you the numbers and everything.
		Like 18 U.S. Code, subsection 471.
		Well, there's actually eight different U.S. Code violations when it comes to the auto pen use.
		I mean, my guess is if you did get all the charges to stick, it's got to be at least 80 years.
		I don't know.
		I mean, it's your life.
		You're in jail for life for all of this.
		But knowing how the DOJ operates and the U.S. attorneys operate, they'll try to charge you with all of these crimes, and then they'll end up just getting you down to one for a plea.
		That's just how they normally operate.
		But this is different.
		This is treason.
		This was a much bigger crime.
		That shouldn't be treated like that.
		Speaking of crimes, USDA employee and five others busted in one of the largest food stamp frauds in American history.
		And this was also a press release from the DOJ.
		USDA employee and five others charged in a multi-million dollar food stamp fraud and bribery scheme.
		I wonder if Doge helped expose this.
	And by the way, this stuff is like, it's everywhere, man.
	It's so rampant.
	It's why you just have to shut it all down, so you just don't even have it.
	So they announced the unsealing of a superseding indictment charging six individuals in connection with a sprawling fraud and bribery scheme that generated over 66 million in unauthorized transactions under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
	Remember all that digital influence campaign stuff that you had defending the current SNAP program?
	Folks, $66 million in fraud and one operation.
	Starting to get it.
	Starting to understand exactly what we're up against here.
	So they list all the names of these people that were hit with the charges.
	Michael Kehoe, Mohammed Nawafle, Omar Al-Wa-Shday, Gamal Obeid, Imad Al-Wa-Washday, and Arlissa Degas.
	It seemed like Davis was kind of the lead perp here, but they were all involved.
	Davis, a USDA employee who worked as a program specialist.
	Was employed in the division of agency responsible for identifying snap fraud.
	So the person that was supposed to be stopping the snap fraud was running the snap fraud.
	Ho!
	By the way, you think they voted Trump?
	By the way, you think, I wonder what their even citizenship status is when you hear some of these names.
	So just massive fraud shown here and shut down.
	And it's just everywhere.
	It's just everywhere in government.
	And that's why you just don't give them the opportunity.
	That's why you just shut all these programs down and you just don't give them the opportunity for fraud.
	And if you want to do charitable work, do it in the private sector.
	It's that simple.
	It's that simple, ladies and gentlemen.
	You know, another strange thing about this, and I actually reached out to Jim Hoft about this, when I was looking into this story, and it broke earlier today, the only thing that came up And there's different means and methods to using search engine optimization to get desired results.
	And, you know, our crew is so good at that.
	That's why people are so shocked, because it is kind of a skill.
	And when we have guests on and people are so shocked at how fast our crew operates, well, our crew is really skilled at search engine optimization.
	And so it's keywords and phrases and just learning how to use these things to get the desired results and find the thing you're looking for.
	Well, why am I talking about this?
	Well, when I was researching this earlier today, And I'm very good at search engine optimization.
	It kind of is, you kind of have to be to work here, actually.
	You kind of have to be, like, the best at it.
	And so I'm looking at this, and I'm not getting any results.
	Like, nothing at all.
	And so I'm thinking, okay, well, I guess nobody's covering this story?
	Is that what this is?
	Really?
	That can't be the case.
	So all I could find was the official DOJ, the official government website, press release.
	So then I go through just my normal routine, you know, InfoWars, the Gateway Pundit, all this other stuff.
	And of course, what do I find?
	I find that other outlets are covering it.
	So what's my point here?
	Folks, Google is still completely rigging its search results.
	And I'm not, okay, oh wow, breaking news, Owen.
	Yeah, we already knew that.
	I know we already knew that, but I'm like, how bad is it really?
	And then how does this affect the average American that doesn't know anything that's going on in the world of politics and just assumes, hey, I'm using Google.
	If I search it, I'll find it.
	If I don't, it's not there.
	They've got these sites completely blacklisted, folks.
	Completely blacklisted.
	And then I went and I even tried and I was like, okay, because I was reading the Gateway Pundit story and I plugged in the exact Gateway Pundit headline and it still wouldn't give me the result.
	So they just blacklist websites.
	I'm sure Infowars is blacklisted.
	The Gateway Pundit is blacklisted.
	You bastards over there at Google.
	You sons of bitches.
	What the hell is your problem?
	Needs to be an investigation into that.
	Alright, speaking of fraud and corruption, a bit of the theme today.
	Here's what Rick Grinnell revealed they discovered.
	At the Kennedy Center in clip four.
richard grenell ▲ ● ▼		Our great new CFO went through the 24 and 25 budgets of the Kennedy Center and found $26 million in phantom revenue, fake revenue.
		It's criminal.
		We're going to refer this to the U.S. Attorney's Office here.
		We're lucky enough to have the Attorney General on the board of the Kennedy Center who heard all the details today.
		She heard the details.
		And this is unacceptable in America to have a fake revenue of $26 million fraud on previous donors.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		But boy, oh boy.
		Are we all thinking the same thing?
		I can't help it now.
		Pam Bondi is going to be investigating.
		Oh, great.
		Wonderful.
		I'm sure we'll get results.
		Am I the only one that feels that way?
		I don't think so.
		But there it is.
		Criminal referral.
		So we'll see.
		Maybe Janine Pirro can get on that one.
		She hasn't let us down yet.
		She's only been in for, what, 24 hours?
		Hasn't let us down yet.
		So, hey, go Judge Janine.
		So, you know, just fraud everywhere.
		Just total fraud everywhere.
		Yeah.
		I think we have some other fraud here.
		Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah.
		Here we go.
		Jesus, man.
		Oh, my gosh.
		This stuff just drives me nuts.
		Remember...
		It's her right to steal things.
		It's her right to just get stuff for free.
		Oh, well, there's more to that.
		Here's another one.
		She's not too healthy-looking either here in clip five.
unidentified		The truth is, y 'all hating on me because I live rent-free and I can afford the luxuries that y 'all dream about for me and my kids.
		I'm going to continue to buy my luxury bags while the government pay my rent.
		I'm going to continue to go on trips and do the things that me and my kids love to do while y 'all struggle to pay for a grocery bill and I'm swiping my EBT card.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		How about we just stop that then?
		How about we just cut that off, see how you feel then?
		I don't know.
		I try to get to the pulse of this.
		I try to get to the understanding of this.
		Because the entitlement thing is just like the surface level value.
		That's like the face value.
		It's just, oh, they just believe they're entitled and who wouldn't want free stuff?
		And then you just get used to it.
		But no, there's something deeper.
		There's something deeper at play here.
		It's a culture thing or it's an upbringing thing.
		It's such a foreign concept to me.
		I don't even get it.
		You're taking this free money.
		You're basically taking stolen money to live your lifestyle, but you don't even feel bad.
		You don't even feel bad?
		You don't even feel grateful?
		Instead, you're arrogant, and then you brag about it and rub it in people's face.
		That's beyond entitlement.
		Entitlement is like phase one.
		This is like...
		I could never relate to that.
		And I just look at the people that I've grown up with, people I associate with now.
		now.
		I look at the crew here.
		I mean, even if People that take advantage of these programs so that they can get by, I'm not judging you.
		But it's like, to go out there and just say, oh, I'm entitled to this, and now I'm going to brag about how I spend this free money on a lifestyle that I didn't earn, that's like a whole other level.
		That's like a totally different level.
		It's like, I don't even think, me personally, again, I'm not judging anybody that's signed up for SNAP or signed up for government benefits.
		And it's like, if I've known a couple people that have, they don't brag about it, and they'd like to get off those government benefits as quickly as possible.
		They'd rather not have to be in that position, but they're in a position they feel they have to.
		The heartless soul in me would say, I wish it wasn't there anyway.
		But regardless, it's like, I couldn't even bring myself to that.
		Maybe that's a pride thing.
		But then, to go and brag and say, ha, look at me, I get free money, I don't work, the government pays for all my stuff, and look at me, I'm living a life of luxury with my designer, what is that, a Gucci bag?
		I don't even know.
		And you know, and again, that's not an isolated example.
		We played the other one.
		There's millions of people like this.
unidentified		Millions!
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		So I get it.
		We have these government programs, these benefit programs, all this stuff, and it's supposed to be good.
		We just want to help people, and it all gets abused.
		It all gets abused.
		The very concept of Social Security is a scam.
		Hey, give us your money so we can give it back to you later in life.
		What?
		How about I just keep my own money?
		And you stay out of my business.
		How about that?
		Let's try that one on for size.
		But see, I can't opt out.
		Oh, I guess I could opt out.
		Isn't that ironic?
		No, I can't opt out of paying millions of people like her to live for free.
		Oh, yes, you could opt out.
		Oh, I suppose I could opt out.
		I could stop working, right?
		I could opt out.
		I could stop working.
		I could stop trying to live a nice life.
		I could stop chasing the American dream.
		I could stop trying to own things.
		Yeah, I guess so.
		I guess I could go live.
		I guess I could go be homeless.
		I guess I could go sign up for the benefits.
		I guess I could opt out.
		But isn't that kind of the purpose?
		Isn't that ultimately what this does?
		Thomas Sowell warned about this for years.
		And he said, he said, no.
		When you put an entire group of people on these government benefits, they don't know how to get off of them.
		You've handicapped them.
unidentified		You've crippled them.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Because we have these things called survival instincts, where you do what you need to do to survive.
		It kind of works that way.
		You've completely, and it's really maybe the most important instinct you have.
		And they've completely removed it from individuals like this.
		There's no more survival instinct.
		It's, oh, I just have to exist and I get a feeding tube.
		It's crippled these communities.
		All right.
		Boy, oh boy, I'll tell you.
		I'll tell you.
		Guys, figure this out for me.
		I'm a little confused what we have here.
		Let me see what we have here.
		Representative Andy Ogles on the Judiciary Committee.
		Oh, this was in...
		Wait, is this clip two on the screen here?
		Okay, I think we must have had a confusion on the list there.
		Because that's not Representative Andy Ogles.
		No, no, no, that's fine.
		That's fine.
		I was just trying to figure out in my head what we had here.
		Okay, so that's what it is.
		But I'll tell you what, we can get into some of the illegal immigrant news now.
		The Nashville mayor...
unidentified		Well, you've heard it.
		The individuals that the mayor is standing with are murderers, rapists, drug traffickers, sexual predators, child traffickers.
		The list goes on.
		Which is why?
		I will always stand on the rule of law and with ICE.
		And I don't just stand with ICE.
		I'll stand in front of ICE.
		Because we, the people, have had enough.
		I choose my community, my state, and my family over this type of nonsense.
		Which is why, due to the remarks of Freddie O 'Connell, And the potential for aiding and embedding illegal immigration.
		The Homeland Security and the Judiciary Committees will be conducting an investigation into the mayor of Nashville, his conduct, and whether or not federal dollars have been used in criminal enterprise.
		I will not back down.
		I will not relent.
		And I will always stand with law enforcement.
		I want my community, and I want my country back.
		This is Andy Ogles.
		Thank you for being here.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		So, that was Representative Andy Ogles talking about the Nashville mayor.
		I got a little confused from my own notes.
		Now, this is the way.
		This is the way.
		And if you notice, that's exactly what I have been saying for months.
		You go after them for aiding and abetting.
		It's that simple.
		That's what they've done.
		You do it.
		You just, you go after them.
		And this is another representation of, you know, Ogles might be closer to what we're going to see in the future from the Republican Party, but I still kind of look at this as one of these interim Republicans before it goes, I mean, you know, all the extremism that the Democrats try to warn you about, it's, yeah, right, you haven't even seen anything.
		You haven't seen anything.
		The Republicans you're dealing with now are still spineless cowards for the most part.
		Now, I'm not talking about Andy Ogles, and let's see what happens with this House Judiciary Committee investigation into the mayor for aiding and abetting in illegal immigration, which you could charge how many Democrats with tomorrow if you had the desire?
		A hundred?
		A thousand?
		Ten thousand?
		I mean, really?
		Talk about all these different NGOs and these charity groups.
		You could probably get 20,000.
		And that's what needs to be done.
		So I hope we get some follow-up here.
		The House Judiciary Committee.
		But that is the way.
		You are aiding and abetting in crimes.
		I don't, I don't, don't, don't.
		Don't give me your bleeding heart liberal sob stories.
		Don't give me your humanitarian garbage.
		You aided and abetted in a crime.
		Go tell it to your cellmate.
		Go tell your cellmate how you're innocent.
		He's innocent too.
		Yeah.
		You guys can share stories of your innocence.
		This is the way.
		This is the future, and eventually you're going to get to a point where...
		But this is what it's like.
		I think a lot of the Republicans are also not just cowards.
		They're also weak.
		But they just, they don't, they don't know they can do it yet.
		They don't know that they can do these things yet.
		They haven't figured it out yet.
		And the day they do, it's over.
		The day Republicans find their spine, the day the Republican Party grows a spine, grows a pair of testicles, is the day all this stuff can turn around.
		Just like that.
		You're going to aid in a bet in a border invasion?
		We're going to come after you.
		You're done.
		And then it'll never happen again.
		Simple as that.
		You're going to walk A judge is going to walk a criminal out the back door to evade arrest.
		Yeah, you're going to jail.
		Bye.
		Bye.
		We're not playing games anymore.
		We're not.
		We're done.
		And it's really, and I've used this analogy before, it's the realization that you can do something.
		And I just use...
		There's probably other analogies you could use, like software and coding and stuff like that.
		It's like, once you figure out you can do something, it's like, oh, I can do it now.
		You just do it over and over and over again.
		So it's like, oh, I don't know if I can, you know, I don't know if I can bench press 200 pounds.
		Then you bench press 200 pounds, you're like, oh, I can do 200 pounds?
	Oh, wow, okay.
	Then you do it five times.
	It's like, oh, I don't know if I can slam dunk a basketball.
	And you jump and you slam dunk the ball.
	It's like, oh, I can dunk.
	Cool, I'm going to dunk a lot more now.
	That's what this is like.
	Oh, I can go after Democrats for aiding and abetting in crimes?
	Oh, cool, I'm going to do it.
	I'm going to do it a hundred times.
	I'm going to do it a thousand times.
	Oh, I actually can do doge cuts?
	Oh, I actually can stop all the waste, fraud, and abuse?
	Cool, I'm going to do it now.
	But you have to do that first set.
	You have to do that first lift.
	You have to get that first dunk.
	You have to have the realization that you can do it.
	And then you can do it as much as you'd like.
	Oh, and they're upset.
	The liberals are upset because missing children are being found.
	It's just awful.
	The New York Times headline.
	Checks on migrant children by Homeland Security agents stir fear.
	Well, remember, first they said...
	They have the checks and the protocols.
	Of course, we had the whistleblowers on that told you the real story about that.
	But they were denying that there was any problem here.
	Well, now Homeland Security under Trump is actually going through the list and seeing just how many children are actually missing and how many they can track down.
	And the New York Times is complaining.
	Agents are showing up unannounced to interview minors in what the government calls wellness checks.
	Critics see the visits as a part of the immigration crackdown.
	Wellness checks.
	So, the New York Times are against wellness checks on minors who might have been human trafficked into this country.
	I mean, good lord, New York Times.
	Why don't you just change your name to MS-13 Human Trafficking Times?
	Might be a more fitting name.
	Oh, the children might be Oh, you mean like the gang members trafficking them into the country and threatening them and giving them drugs and sedating them?
	Oh, but that's good.
	When they have these unvetted sponsors that show up and they leave them alone in hotel rooms?
	Some random stranger unvetted under the Biden administration?
	Could be anybody?
	Oh, that doesn't stir any fear.
	Oh, you're just trapped in a hotel room with them now.
	Oh, we're just going to throw these minors on airplanes and fly them across the country.
	We don't know where they're going.
	Oh, there's no fear there.
	Oh, but Homeland Security are doing wellness checks on children now.
	Oh, that's scary.
	No, the children are probably relieved.
	It's a disease.
	New York Times.
	And then this was a big story in Austin.
	In Texas.
	And it turns out, I was waiting for this confirmation, now it's been totally confirmed.
	Illegal alien was arrested for the jet ski hit and run killing of 18-year-old Ava Moore.
	The individual, Daker Lynn Gonzalez, illegally entered the country under the Biden administration, was released.
	Out on a jet ski, you know, who knows, in intoxication level, they fled the scene.
	So this person in a jet ski crash kills Ava Moore, young American who just graduated from the Air Force Academy Preparatory School.
	Great young American, whole future ahead of her.
	Illegal immigrant led in by the Biden administration, kills her on a jet ski.
	Then her and her other illegal immigrant friend flee the scene, striking multiple vehicles as they're fleeing the crime scene.
	This happened in Grapevine Lake in Texas this weekend.
	So, just a complete and total disaster.
	Another innocent American killed by an illegal.
	And then they flee the scene.
	It's unreal.
	Totally unnecessary.
	Never had to happen.
	So more blood on the Biden administration's hands.
	And, again, aiding and abetting.
	Let's find out.
	So now this illegal alien has killed a woman in America, a young American, with her whole life ahead of her.
	Now, you find out who brought her in, who released her, what NGOs paid for her housing, paid for her transportation to eventually get her to the point where she's so comfortable she's out jet skiing on a lake and bring all of them in for aiding and abetting too.
	I'm done.
	And I hope Annie Ogles, who is starting to understand this as well and he's getting the approach, I hope he goes all the way.
	I hope the Department of Homeland Security, the Trump administration, the Republican Party, local governments, everybody, I hope they realize this is the way.
	When an illegal alien commits a crime in this country, we are going to track down every single person that facilitated their entry into the country, their housing while they stayed in the country.
	And their transportation as they traveled the country.
	And every single person, every single NGO, every single government official that played a role in that, you are now aiding and abetting in this crime.
	In this case, it'll likely be involuntary manslaughter, plus fleeing the scene is another, I'm sure, add-ons.
	And you are now being charged for aiding and abetting.
	And this stops immediately.
	No one...
	Nobody.
	Well, the criminals will be.
	But yeah, you bet all these NGOs and all these politicians and everybody else that's been facilitating this invasion, oh, they'll be thinking twice the next time they vote for a policy that opens the borders.
	The next time they release a bunch more illegal aliens into the country.
	The next time they make sure there's funding.
	For an NGO to feed them, house them, and transport them.
	Oh, they'll think twice now knowing that, boy, if one of these individuals commits a crime, I'm going to jail.
	But that's how it should be.
	I shouldn't be up here begging for that to happen.
	That should be how it happens.
	Shouldn't even be up for debate.
	But that was a big story here in Texas, and they finally got her.
	So, you know, illegal aliens running around Texas, killing people in semi-trucks, killing people on...
	By the way, I was going to have the crew bring me this.
	I'll mention this right now.
	They now have made four arrests, I believe, in the murder of Jamie White.
	Young kids.
	Four suspects have now been arrested in that murder.
	They're getting down to the bottom of it here.
	Good work by local law enforcement.
	And hopefully taking these kids off the streets will maybe save someone else's life.
	So there won't have to be another Jamie White.
	All four suspects in Jamie White's murder arrested face capital murder charges.
	You know, it still hurts.
	obviously it still hurts.
	There's nothing that can...
	there's nothing that can quell that pain.
	But getting violent criminals and killers off the streets, So good work by local law enforcement on that.
	And let's hope that the justice system here, that is kind of atrocious as well, makes sure that they're not out to kill and to harm people again.
	So that's the next challenge on that.
unidentified		But they got them.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		They got them.
		So, that's good.
		And I just hope Jamie White's family can find peace.
		Maybe it helps a little, but I don't know.
		Nothing really helps.
		If we're being honest, nothing really helps.
unidentified		All right.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		We are about to conclude here.
		The second hour of the Infowars War Room really is the fastest three hours, isn't it?
		We do have some interesting stuff coming up.
		Now, I'm going to cover a bunch of news.
		At the top of the hour, we're going to be joined by John Nierman at 530 Central, so in about 40 minutes here.
		He has been in the courtroom for every day of the Diddy trial.
		Some wild stuff has come out.
		So he's going to be joining us in about 40 minutes to talk about all the stuff that has come out in this ongoing trial.
		They now think it's going to last through June, but they're basically trying to say, hey, look.
		We've got to get this thing done.
		I think the judge said, I want this thing done by July 4th.
		So that's how crazy this thing is.
		And I think there's going to be a lot of twists and turns between now and then with people willing to testify or not.
		So we're going to be talking about that coming up shortly as well.
		So, hour number two in the books.
		Loaded third hour on the way.
		I want to thank everybody who has...
		Why not?
		If you enjoy what we do here, why not spend a little money at thealexjonesstore.com so we can continue to do what we do here?
		And, you know, just so you understand how important it is, we have such a great crew behind us that makes everything we do here possible.

		You get a great product, great for your health, and you support us in the process, and that's the Optimal Human Drink Mix.
		And I'm telling you, from somebody that's been doing supplements, drink mixes for a long time, this is about as good as it gets.
		This thing is about as loaded.
		As they come.
		It's actually kind of like a modern marvel.
		Now I can tell you all the different supplement facts here dealing with all the different vitamins and minerals that are in here that are just incredible.
		Things that a lot of people are deficient in.
		That it's just hard to even source in the average American diet.
		Like biotin or magnesium or zinc or selenium.
		And those things are all great.
		But the different superfood blends that they were able to get into this, it's actually kind of mind-blowing.
		I've never seen a drink mix that has so much in a scoop.
		I've never seen it.
		The nutrient-rich superfood blend.
		Now, if I went and read all the different ingredients in these blends, I wouldn't have the time to do it.
		But all these different blends are loaded.
		The nutrient-rich superfood blend.
		The immune antioxidant blend, the gut health and digestive support blend, the adaptogen blend, the nootropic and cognitive function blend, the liver health and detox blend, the cardiovascular and heart health blend, the joint support blend.
		And so there's things in here that I just always make sure I'm supplementing, like CoQ10, turmeric, ginger root.
		These are just fantastic things.
		Not to mention the wheatgrass that's in here as well.
		So there's just so much in here that's so great.
		And then I'd think, okay, well, there's no way it tastes good.
		Like, this has to taste like dirt with all these things.
		And they found a way to make it taste good.
		Incredible stuff.
		Optimal human drink mix.

		And Representative John Bryant here in Texas, well, he seems to think...
		And what is that, Representative John Bryant?
unidentified		This bill legalizes sawed-off shotguns.
unidentified		This bill legalizes sawed-off shotguns.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		So we don't have the sawed-off shotgun yet.
		And I don't know where you even get something like that.
		Maybe Representative John Bryant can tell us.
		But if we can fund the Infowar with a sawed-off shotgun, we might be crazy enough to do it.
		All right.
		Let's cover the rest of these headlines before we bring our guest on to talk about what's going on in this wild and wacky ditty trial.
		Which, they need to let media and cameras in these courtrooms.
		I don't know why they don't allow that in the federal courtrooms.
		People don't really make a big fuss out of that, but it really needs to be changed.
		But let's cover these headlines first.
		So, I said this yesterday, and it sounds worse than it probably is, but it does look like, I think Putin pulled a quick one on Trump.
		Dealmaker or duped, Trump's embrace of Putin shows few results.
		Well, I don't think it's as fair to say.
		Obviously, Trump is upset with Vladimir Putin, and he feels like Putin either wasn't fully honest or transparent in what they were going to do in the meantime or not do in the meantime while they were having these peace negotiations.
		And now Russia is probably showing as much or more aggression than they ever have.
		In Ukraine, setting up what could end up being permanent occupied areas in the Northeast territories now.
		And they could decide to blow those bridges.
		I forget the name of that river.
		I don't think it's the Dnipro River.
		It's a different one.
		And they could decide to just blow those bridges, but they haven't yet.
		And the reason why military experts believe that they haven't blown those bridges yet because they think that means they're going in further, which might be true.
		But I think Putin is basically trying to surround Kiev and then give Zelensky the final option of, okay, look, you're going to resign and we can make a peace deal and we can give you some of this territory back.
		If not, we have you surrounded.
		We're going in.
		We'll take Kiev.
		We'll arrest your oligarchs and you.
		And who knows what's left of Ukraine after that.
		So it looks like that's where things were going.
		But I think about the negotiations between Trump and Putin, who I think do get along, but I think Putin did pull a quick one on him here.
		And I kind of look at the conversation going something like this.
		Trump says, you know, Vlad, why'd you do it?
		I thought we had a deal.
		We were working on a peace deal.
		Things were going beautifully.
		I really liked it.
		We were being very kind.
unidentified		We were being very kind to Russia, very kind to you.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		And now I just don't know.
		Why'd you do it, Vlad?
		Why'd you do it?
		And Vladimir retorts and he says, Oh, well, Donald, I didn't want to do it.
		It was my General Nord Stream.
		I don't know.
		General Nord Stream just blew up.
		Ha-ha, you know?
		I don't know.
		Sometimes I can't control General Nord Stream.
		He just blew up, and now here we are, Donald.
		I don't know.
		You get what I'm putting down?
		Now, what I would like to see, and I don't think Trump would ever do this, but I think Trump should cut a deal with Putin, and he should offer to maybe turn over some people that General Nordstrom might have a problem with.
		You know what I mean?
		Say, you know, Vlad, I really want to get this peace deal done, and I really want to get our $300 billion investment in Ukraine, some return on that, and I just want to get something good and beneficial for the world and a peace deal.
		Is there anybody you might want to talk to about the Nord Stream pipeline?
		Like, I don't know, Victoria Nuland?
		Would you like to have a personal conversation with old Victoria Nuland?
		Maybe we can arrange something like that.
		You know?
		Would that be something you're interested in?
		Maybe you'd like to talk to Gina Haspel.
		I don't know.
		Just an idea.
		Would you be willing to trade Victoria Nuland to restore balance to the region?
		Would you be willing to trade Victoria Nuland to have good relations with Russia and get back some of that $300 billion we lost?
		Me personally, I wouldn't even...
		I don't think Trump would do that.
		But I think that's where things are at right now.
		And I don't know if that's going to be a one-off for Vladimir Putin or if, you know, any other time Trump calls up and says, what the heck, he's going to blame General Nordstrom.
		But I think that that's what's going on.
		And I think it's not that Putin isn't dealing in good faith.
		With Donald Trump, but I think that Putin says, hey, look, you know, you guys are not your administration, but, you know, the prior administration and some of these other deep state people like Newland, you know, they're really responsible for this, and we have no chance of getting justice for what they've done.
		So, yeah, we decided to go a different way than what we originally agreed upon.
		Sorry.
		Sorry about that, but General Nord Stream just...
		So I think that that's how things are going in that conversation.
		And we'll see.
		Maybe Trump just pulls out and says, you know what?
		We'll reevaluate things in a couple months.
		See if we can get some return on that investment.
		But Ukraine's not a NATO country, so not our problem.
		We got robbed badly, but that's Biden's fault.
		So what are we going to do?
		And yep, we probably did blow up the Nord Stream pipeline and nobody paid for that international terrorism event.
		It's kind of tough.
		It's kind of tough.
		So you can thank Victoria Nuland and the Biden administration and maybe Gina Haspel and the rest of it for that.
		And then you have this going on in Israel.
		Israel accepts new U.S. proposal for ceasefire with Hamas.
		Well, and apparently this has been confirmed by Netanyahu.
		Look, I don't trust anything that comes out of Israel, and I certainly don't trust anything that Netanyahu says.
		But a lot of this stuff...
		But I'll say this.
		If they reached a ceasefire deal, it'll be broke within a week.
		That's about as sure of a bet as you can make right there.
		Guaranteed it'll be broke within a week.
		100%.
		And I think the reason why they, if they did truly agree to the ceasefire, here's why.
		Because this is how it always goes.
		When Israel launches the most egregious, deadly attack on Gaza, then they come back, and it's kind of like their apology tour, because the whole world is like, hey, you're just killing tens of thousands of people here, you know?
		I think, you know, it's not, you're not, this isn't defense of Israel anymore.
		You're not defending Israel anymore.
	You're just, you're just slaughtering people.
	And so every time they have their most egregious attack, then they back off and they say, okay, okay, ceasefire, ceasefire, and then they bomb a week later.
	So that's just how it goes every time.
	But I think this is the situation.
	This was a bad one.
	Gaza influencer, 11 years old, among dozens of children killed by recent Israeli strikes, who is Yaqeen Hamad, Gaza's youngest influencer, This is an 11-year-old.
	Seems like a really sweet girl.
	And this is some of the content that she created and won't be creating anymore.
	Here it is, guys.
	going to start clip three.
unidentified		I'm going to start.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Sweet little Palestinian girl.
		The Israelis made sure she could never make any cute, fun content for kids anymore.
		Who knows how many other children in this video that she's feeding.
		Who knows how many others are dead with the recent Israeli strikes as well.
		It might not just be her.
		A bunch of these kids probably got killed by Israel.
		literally delivering snow cones in the desert.
unidentified		I believe I'll finish the construction of the construction after the construction.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Here she is standing in the rubble talking about how she'll dedicate her life to repairing Gaza with a smile on her face.
		I, I, this, uh, it's all kind of, well, not kind of, it's all completely incomprehensible to me.
		And I'm glad that I didn't grow up.
		I'm glad that I live in America.
		I'm glad that I live in my holy land, the United States of America.
		That's my holy land.
		And anybody that tells you Israel is their holy land, then I would say, okay, that's fine.
		Then go live in Israel.
		If America is not your holy land, then you're not an American.
		That's how I view it.
		I don't think that's controversial.
		But I can't even imagine.
		Like, this is just, they don't know.
		These kids don't even know any other life.
		And I relate to what Trump is saying about this.
		And people on all sides get angry.
		But it's like, you know, why don't we give these people a chance?
		And he says the same thing to Netanyahu.
		He's like, let's give it a chance.
		Let's just give it a chance, man.
		You've completely decimated it, Bibi.
		You've destroyed an entire people's world.
		Just completely decimated.
		Like, can we, like, stop and try to fix this and rebuild this?
		And, of course, Netanyahu has other plans.
		He just lies about everything.
		But that's the only reason.
		The only reason why Israel agreed to a ceasefire if they did is because they just killed a dozen kids.
		They just killed this little girl who was really popular.
		So now they're, you know, it's like, oh, okay, yeah, ceasefire, whoops.
		They'll bomb them again in a week.
		It's like, I can't even imagine.
		It's really sad.
		And it just really reminds me how blessed I was as a kid, how blessed we are as Americans.
		This poor girl probably has spent the majority of her life in rubble, in tents, people dying all around her.
		It's just, it's awful.
		And whatever, blame Hamas, blame Israel, blame anybody.
		Like, let's just fix it.
		Let's just, let's fix it.
		And I think Trump realized Netanyahu doesn't want to fix it.
		He doesn't give a damn.
		Whether that's because of his religious beliefs or, you know, Jewish supremacy, whatever it is, or he's got some expansion of Israel plan.
		I think Trump has realized, no, Bibi isn't interested in helping people.
		Bibi isn't interested in fixing anything.
		This was all part of an agenda to take the Gaza Strip, which he's failed at.
		He's totally failed at.
		And that's, I mean, look, do you blame the IDF for not wanting to go in to Gaza and actually trying to deal with Hamas on the ground?
		You know, a lot of people are forced into the IDF.
		So they might not even be true believers.
		They're just fulfilling their military duties.
		And so then they're asked, I mean, hey, go into these tunnels and find Hamas.
		And it's like, yeah, you mean walk down that tunnel right there and get blown up?
		Walk over a tripwire?
		Walk through a landmine and die?
		So, of course, they're not doing that.
		So they just say, well, let's just go over to the top and just drop a bunch of bombs and just smash them to smithereens.
		So it's just a horrible situation.
		The whole thing.
		But yeah, okay.
		Yeah, ceasefire now after you just killed a dozen kids, including a popular 11-year-old.
		But let's see.
		Let's see if that lasts through next week.
		I would not bet on it.
		Trump offers Canada a discount on the Golden Dome system if they become the 51st state.
	So weird.
	I don't know.
	51st state, I don't like it.
	I don't like the Golden Dome system either.
	But, hey, if you can turn it all into a victory, I'll support it.
	France, to ban smoking outdoors in most places.
	Well, you know, France is relatively health conscious.
	But I feel like smoking is still part of the culture over there.
	You know, I'm not a smoker.
	I actually am like...
	I can't really stand cigarette smoke.
	I just can't.
	That's a personal thing.
	But at that same time, do you remember how many people listening remember bars where you used to be able to smoke in?
	There's like one in Austin, Texas.
	It's total throwback.
	But there's something, there's just something about it.
	It's a nostalgic thing.
	It's like, yeah, I know it's unhealthy.
	I know it's gross.
	But it's also freedom.
	You know?
	It's also just, there's something that's just like freedom about it.
	But hey, France isn't really into freedom, so they'll probably just ban cigarettes at this pace.
	Remember how the liberal media was always telling you how great Haiti is?
	Yeah, not so much.
	This is the New York Times now.
	A desperate Haiti turns to Eric Prince, Trump ally, in fight against gangs.
	Oh, but I thought it was so great.
	Remember?
	Remember when Trump called, I think Trump called Haiti a shithole.
	And then it was, oh no, Haiti's amazing.
	Haiti's the best place on earth.
	Look, we're going to vacation down here.
	And there's like one exotic, beautiful resort they all hang out in.
	It's like totally secure.
	And then everything else is run by gangs and it's just a total disaster.
	No infrastructure.
	So in four years, we went from Haiti is the greatest place on earth, you need to go tour there, not listen to Trump who says it's a shithole, to now it's, yeah, gangs run Haiti, it's a total shithole.
	So, there you go.
unidentified		Oh, just no shame.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		No shame in these media people.
		All right.
		The Epstein saga.
		Dan Bongino.
		A new rift in the Epstein saga.
		Listen to Bongino here in clip eight.
dan bongino ▲ ● ▼		Wait till you read the stuff that's coming out.
unidentified		But does he still have loyalists in the building?
		Because when I hear the FBI director saying, you guys are finding boxes that are hidden.
		Okay, how does that happen in the bureau?
dan bongino ▲ ● ▼		Well, we were there a couple of weeks, and luckily there were a lot of people up there who...
		You know, we need to talk.
		There are people there who are really horrified at what happened.
		And there was a room, and we found stuff.
		A lot of stuff.
unidentified		A hidden room.
dan bongino ▲ ● ▼		I wouldn't call it hidden, but hidden from us, at least, and not mentioned to us.
		And then we found stuff in there.
		And a lot of it's from the Comey era.
		And we are working our damnedest right now to declassify.
		And just so you know, because I get the public.
		I totally understand people saying, well, do it now.
		The process is not all the information is ours to declassify.
		Some is other intelligence agencies.
		It's not.
		We literally can't do it.
		Once that gets done and that gets out there and you read some of the stuff we found that, by the way, was not processed through the normal procedure, digitizing it, putting in FBI records.
		We found it in bags hiding under Jim Comey's FBI.
		You're going to be stunned.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		All right, so, by the way, Patel is saying some other similar things in relation to January 6th.
		So they're basically teasing there's going to be new Epstein stuff, there's going to be new January 6th stuff, it's going to blow your mind.
		Well, let's see what you can tell us that we didn't already know or that you haven't already told your audiences.
		So it'll be interesting to see if there really is anything new or if this is just another Epstein-Bindergate debacle.
		I think, I mean, Patel and Bongino are, at this point, I think, way more competent than Bondi.
		So I don't know if you'll have something like that.
		But it kind of feels like, it's like, what else do we need to know?
		Are you going to identify the pipe bomber?
		Are you going to actually charge the people that ran the actual deal?
		And stood down the police?
		So it's like, if you're not willing to go there, then I don't know what you're really here to tell me, but we'll find out, I'm sure.
		Or it's just more PR as they're seeing people's trust in them deteriorate.
		Like, hey, we're going to go find out the White House cocaine bag.
		So, I mean, where'd that go?
		Look, if they want to ask for patience, that's a big ask.
		So that's...
		We'll see what happens.
		And look, I don't think they're lying when they talk about there being a process, and I don't think they're lying when they talk about things are still being hidden from us, and there was obviously a bunch of corruption before they got there that they're probably still dealing with.
		But it's going to all come down to results.
		Now, on the Epstein situation, this is where it gets weird.
		Now they're saying...
		That he was alone.
		So obviously that he killed himself.
		Dan Bongino promises Jeffrey Epstein cell block video.
		Well, tell me how that's possible.
		Because we were told that the security videos were erased and that there were technical errors.
		They didn't have the video.
		So what's really going on?
		Because this was the headline.
		The original headline was surveillance video from Jeffrey Epstein's suicide attempt destroyed.
		CCTV erased by technical errors.
		What in the hell is really going on?
		You know, some bub.
		A couple of individuals that are considered highly controversial.
		And there's a lot of people that disagree on the Tate brothers.
		Well, they've been through the ringer and been through jail and been through a bunch of charges, and then they've beaten pretty much everything in the past.
		They've come out of everything unscathed, except for the bad media hits and the people that go back and share some of their older videos where, hey, they might say something that you think is bad or that might be just universally considered bad, but that doesn't mean it's illegal.
		Well, now the Tates are dealing with new charges now.
		Maybe the worst charges yet.
		And so, oh, new charges on the Tates.
		And so, look, people can debate about the Tates all day long.
		Here's what I find ridiculous about this whole thing.
		I would bet I'll have a live video stream of a Tate colonoscopy before I'll get anything from an Epstein client.
		So it's just like, how can I sit here and believe that anybody going after the Tates, and I'm not talking about social media commentary where people might have a problem with them.
		I'm talking about legal charges.
		How can I sit here and listen to anybody talking about legal charges for the Tates when we don't get anything from Epstein?
		We don't get any Epstein clients.
		But oh, oh, more charges against the Tates.
		And it's like the Tates actually go through trial, go to jail, beat their charges, repeat the process, repeat the process, repeat the process.
		Now they're doing it again.
		So it's like, fine, whatever you think about the Tates.
		I'm not talking about the social media debate or whether you think they're good guys or whatever.
		I'm saying, how are you going to sit here and act like the Tate brothers?
		Are in some human trafficking scam.
		At worst, you're probably talking about just online webcam business, which they admit to.
		And people say, see, see, they admit to it.
		Well, that doesn't mean it's illegal.
		You might not like it.
		It might be bad stuff.
		It might be sordid activity.
		But it's like, oh, here we go again with the Tates.
		Oh, yeah.
		I'll get a live feed colonoscopy of the Tate brothers.
		Before a single Epstein client will be exposed or arrested.
	So I'm just sick of it.
	No, I'm not going to sit here and go down another Tate charge rabbit hole when they've already been through it three, four times when meanwhile I don't have a single Epstein client being arrested.
	Not a single one.
	New Tate charges.
	Here we go again.
	Nothing on Epstein.
	But we are getting some interesting stuff on Diddy.
	Where are the Diddy tapes, I wonder?
	Well, we're going to talk to John Neerman, Joe Neerman, excuse me, just made contact with this guy today.
	He's been in the courtroom for the entirety of the Diddy trial.
	He joins us on the other side.
	Folks, this stuff is wild.
	All right, joining me now, by the way, he came highly recommended.
	I said, who can I get on here to talk about the Diddy trial?
	And I was told Joe Nierman is the guy.
	He's been in the courtroom.
	That's who you want on.
	Follow him on X at GoodLogic.
	That's a play on word.
	Logic.
	He's also sued Judge Merchan.
	So you know he's one of the good guys.
	All right, Joe joins me now.
	So it relies on people like you being there, filing reports, which I know even that's a difficult process just to try to get everything down on paper.
	You know, however it is you're trying to remember all the information that's coming out is difficult as well.
	So it's been very foggy, let's say.
	We do have some details.
	I'll get into some specifics, but I just give you the platform now to just kind of just put it all out there.
	What is your takeaway from this trial that has been wacky and wild, the Diddy trial, so far?
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		It has been wacky and wild.
		This is both a New York thing, that New York state courts don't allow cameras in the courtroom, and federal court never allows cameras in the courtroom.
		So those are two reasons that this is not.
		This is not available.
		The only way you can watch it is by going down to the courthouse.
		The way they have it structured there is 15 people from the general audience are able to get into the room with Diddy.
		The rest of us...
		We get shoved into an overflow viewing room, and that room often will overfill, and then they'll put us into another overflow room.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Oh my gosh, this is actually crazy.
		So that's even worse.
		So you're telling me they're not even really letting anybody into the courtroom?
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		No, no.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Wow.
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		You have to be there.
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		You have to be there at 6 o 'clock in the morning if you want.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		That is insane to me because, you know, I had my cases at the federal court and I followed some other January 6th cases.
		I mean, they would let everybody that could get into the courtroom get in there.
		And then eventually once, you know, there was nowhere to sit, they'd say, no, go to the overflow room.
		But they'd let you in.
		If you can get in, you get in.
		So they're limiting the people that could even get in?
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		Well, they're limiting it based on seating.
		And also they have some spots that are reserved for Diddy's family and friends and things of that nature.
		So I don't know that it's any different in that sense other than the fact that the coverage of this trial is going to be much larger than the vast majority, if not all, of the January 6th trials.
		So that's what I'm saying is you knew walking into this that we were going to end up in overflow room unless we were willing to stay up through the night.
		Literally.
		And stand on the line so you could sit in the room with him.
		So I want everyone to understand the context in which I'm watching it.
		There's roughly, I would estimate, 60 to 75 of us who have been there every day attending this trial and taking notes.
		You start getting to know people over time because you hang out during lunch and you get their thoughts.
		And I sort of look at us as almost like an alternate jury because we're able to react out loud.
		If something funny happens or if there's a shocking type of moment, we're able to sort of gasp.
		You won't see that in the courtroom itself.
		And today, actually, there was a bit of bombshell testimony that came out this afternoon in that his personal assistant, who's acting under the pseudonym of Mia, for her own anonymity, she alleged that Diddy...
		And I don't know as far as language on the show here, because I'm very YouTube-sensitive on this, but we knew she was going to testify about sexual assault, but he actually said that he engaged in sex with her without her consent and told that story over.
		And it was kind of horrifying to hear.
		It really was.
		We haven't seen cross-examination, and on cross-examination, it's very possible that most of us will come away thinking that she's lying.
		But her direct testimony was pretty compelling.
		Unless she's Meryl Streep, she seems to at the very least believe that she was, in fact, raped.
		And the biggest question I had is, why is this coming into the trial?
		I mean, he's a terrible monster.
		You can't sit through five minutes of this trial without concluding that Didi is an awful, awful human being, driven beyond all measure.
		toward to achievement and success and incredibly talented.
		But at the same time, anyone who's in his work environment will tend to have many days of fun and good times and growth.
		And many days, depending on his mood, where you're going to be in an environment that is incredibly hostile and toxic, both with respect to how he talks to people, how he talks down to people, his his violence.
		And and what we saw with Cassie Ventura, his longtime girlfriend, some very unsettling sexual fetishes.
		So that and and that even get into the Kid Cudi.
		incident which came up last week.
		I can go anywhere we want on this.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Go on.
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		You tell me as far as you want me to talk about what unfolded today.
		Kid Cudi was last week and the crazy car chase between him and Kid Cudi.
		I can talk about this case for For hours.
		So if you want to tell me which way you want me to go on this.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Unfortunately, we only have 20 minutes today.
		I'm sure we'll bring you back on here to talk about it sometime in the near future.
		Let's do the Kid Cudi stuff because this is an interesting case for me with Kid Cudi.
		I was listening to Kid Cudi before he was really famous.
		I was with Kid Cudi from the very beginning.
		I really liked his music and his art.
		And I think a lot of people, and they say this, I guess, you know, celebrities deal with this all the time.
		Oh, you've changed, whatever, right?
		Okay.
		Well, you know, Kid Cudi started doing the cross-dressing stuff and started doing some other stuff, and I think his longtime fans like myself started to say, okay, wait a second, something is off about this.
		This isn't the Kid Cudi I grew up listening to.
		Did anything like that come up about how he was being creatively controlled by Diddy or anything like that?
		Or was it all about the car?
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		No.
		No, no, no.
		It wasn't just the car.
		It was about the girl.
		Meaning that, so you have Cassie Ventura, who is a model slash singer.
		She had one hit song before she met Diddy.
		And she gets signed by Bad Boy Records to a 10-album deal.
		And all the control of that deal is obviously under Diddy's control.
		She only gets paid if they actually release any of her music.
		So he had her working very hard producing music and never...
		They say less than 10% of her work was ever actually released.
		Early on in the relationship, he starts turning her into his girlfriend.
		She said she was at her birthday party, and he basically kissed her for the first time, and she was in shock.
		And within weeks, she fell head over heels in love with him.
		And then within months of her actually starting to date him, Now, one of the things I should tell you about this trial, because a lot of people have problems with this trial, and I'm one of them.
		One of the things I should tell you is when we first heard about this whole Diddy story a year ago, when this story first broke, we heard the term freak-offs.
		And in that setting, when we first heard about it, we were basically told that that's what he would refer to parties which involved way too many people who were underage and celebrities and basically sounded like some sick DNC dream.
		And that's what freak-off meant.
		For the context of this trial, freak-off basically means that Diddy And as we've heard testimony about that, a freak-off doesn't end until Diddy says it ends.
		And we've heard a lot of detail about it.
		With respect to these charges, so the charges have nothing to do with anything related to any celebrities, nothing to do with anyone politically connected, nothing to do with alleged tapes that, you know, there are supposedly thousands of tapes of things that involve big-name celebrities or other Hollywood insiders, and we got none of that.
		All we're getting here And I can get into that with you on the legal end of things.
		We have a RICO charge, and we also have two charges.
		For interstate transportation for the purposes of commercial sex, meaning he brought prostitutes across state lines.
		These happen to be male escorts who were porn stars who he brought across state lines, and that's illegal.
		So that's the only five charges he's facing.
		These charges are brought by Maureen Comey, daughter of James Comey.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and because of that, a lot of people think she's spiking this deal.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		But just quickly on the RICO deal, doesn't that mean that others eventually have to be brought in too?
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		No, you can get RICO with just one defendant.
		There's other unnamed co-conspirators who are working with him.
		It does mean a criminal enterprise.
		And I don't like the bastardization of RICO in the way that it's being used here.
		Similar to the way we had with Trump, right?
		Where all of a sudden you're turning an agency we saw in Georgia.
		They start trying to bring RICO charges against him.
		And as if, like, the entire purpose of this organization is to engage in crime.
		Because that's what RICO ultimately...
		We're going after the mafia.
		The mafia is engaging in racketeering.
		So that's why RICO, the R in RICO stands for racketeering.
		You don't really picture this sort of thing as what Congress had in mind when they passed a RICO statute.
		But here we are today with prosecutors basically bastardizing statutes.
		What they'll do is they'll take a statute and they'll see the elements of the statute.
		And even if the purpose of the statute is something...
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Well, you're getting into, like, legal prosecutor stress.
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		Sorry for that.
unidentified		No, no, no, no, no.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		It's a good thing that you do this because I guess I would say you can have this strategy for success to try to go through, you know, unorthodox means with different legal strategy to get a desired result.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		But you could also do that to maybe get a negative result.
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		And what I hate about this is it gives prosecutors so much power to go after whoever the hell they damn well please.
		Because what they're ultimately saying is, this is a person who we want to go after.
		Let's try and figure out what elements we have here, plug it into our little machine, and then charge them with a statute where they meet those elements.
		That's essentially what we have here when they're claiming he's violated 18 U.S.C.
		1591, which is sex trafficking.
		Sex trafficking is designed to stop people from taking runaways and pimping them out.
		That's what the objective is.
		So the objective of that, we have to think in the mind of someone who's doing that.
		Their objective in that scenario is they want to make money.
		So I'm going to find some runaways, I'll find some, I'll kidnap some people, I'll abscond with them, and I'm going to turn them into my sex slave.
		And that way I'm going to make a whole lot of money.
		From doing that.
		The objective there is to make money, and I want to make money, so I'm going to destroy the lives of these people who I kidnap and force them to engage in sexual activity.
		So when Congress tried stopping this and passed the statute in 2000, they said, all right, what are the two elements here?
		The two elements are commercial sex and the person's forced to do it.
		So as long as you can get those two elements, now that's sex trafficking.
		Now, fast forward 2025.
		Maureen Comey decides she wants to go after Diddy.
		He has a terrible story going on with him.
		So she thought she wants to go after him.
		So she says, "Well, he's...
		But what's his objective here?
		His objective here is not to make money like the classic pimp.
		His objective is to feed his twisted fetish.
		Now, I think he's a sick, terrible human being.
		I think he's an awful monster.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		I just don't think that we want prosecutors to be engaging in this type of prosecution where they plug in elements and come up Because, I mean, I look at this, and from the outsider, I say, you know, Diddy was doing this stuff to control whatever little amount of the industry he could, right?
		You know, bring all these people into the freak-offs and catch them on tape doing something that they don't want to get public.
		Maybe they didn't even know they were doing it.
		they were on drugs.
		I mean, to me, that's...
		It wasn't, oh, he hired a male prostitute to come fondle his girlfriend or whatever.
		I mean, or even that he was, you know, gay and into it.
		Like, that's not even, that's not the human interest here.
		Most people probably couldn't care less about that.
		But quickly, though, on the Ventura thing, because when I'm hearing you describe this, and then you learn more about Diddy's personality, I mean, I can't help but listen to this and think, okay.
		Diddy brought in this girl.
		It's kind of like a Harvey Weinstein situation.
		Diddy brings in this girl, objectively a beautiful woman, and is like, hey, I can make you rich.
		I can make you famous.
		She's thinking, I'm young.
		I'm hot.
		This is great.
		I'll get my song on the charts.
		I'll get on this record.
		And then Diddy strings her along and then eventually says, you know what, okay, I just want to have sex with you.
		And then kind of toys with her a little bit, like, oh, no, no, you're here as a musician, and then eventually, no, you're actually here to go out here with these prostitutes and, you know, so I can touch myself or record it, whatever, this voyeurism.
		Was that ever an angle brought up by Ventura that she felt that she was strung along just to basically be a sex slave?
		She never brought that up?
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		No.
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		No, she was...
		She...
		Her testimony is very interesting in that she's very conflicted.
		She still seems to harbor...
		She just had, I think, her second baby a few days ago.
		And she looks back at this time with a feeling of both pain and that she still seems to feel fondness for Diddy.
		When she was testifying, she spent four days on the stand.
		I was the the the most the clearest takeaway I got was that she would just as well.
		Like, she seems very, very conflicted about the entire time.
		Because the early days, she was always trying to recapture the early days when it was, you know, the happiest, most exciting time of her life when she and Diddy first, you know, first fell for each other.
		She thought that he fell for her.
		I don't know if he ever fell for her, but...
		He was treating her like a queen, and this is...
		In this industry, he's considered, you know, pretty much, like, he's the Babe Ruth of this.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I mean, he was a mogul.
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		He is the industry.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, he was a mogul at the time.
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		And it changed.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		And by the way, I think, you know, kind of looking back on this now, I think he's gay.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		I mean, I don't know if that's been conclusive in these trials.
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		Well, do you want me to get graphic with you?
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		I don't know how graphic you want me to get with respect to...
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Well, hey, man, people know what they're dealing with here.
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		Okay, I mean, yeah, there was...
		He would take some of the residue from men, and he would have her rubbing on his body and stuff like that.
		So to me, that's pretty...
		That's at the very least...
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Well, if you're bi, you're gay.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		He's a gay man.
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		Right.
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		I mean, that's...
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		So let me get into the Kid Cudi story here, because this was really interesting.
		So Kid Cudi starts...
		Puff Daddy goes to Kid Cudi and says, hey, I've got my girl over here.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		I'll tell you what, Joe, I'm sorry about this, but for the sake of time, Do concise as much with the Kid Cudi thing, and then there's two other things I want to address quickly.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		We've got seven minutes left, so just try to be concise with the Cudi thing.
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		I'll cut it down this way.
		She's in a freak-off with...
		Realizes that the two of them are dating and goes into a rage and lunges at her with a wine bottle opener.
		She flees, and he basically decides, I'm going to go hunting to kill Kid Cudi and Cassie Ventura.
		And he takes...
		And he basically, supposedly, kidnaps her at gunpoint and has her show him where Kid Cudi's house is.
		And then he has this woman, Capricorn Clark, call Cassie and say, Diddy's got me and he's not letting me go.
		Until you come.
		And we're at Kid Cudi's house.
		Kid Cudi hears this and is like, the mother effers in my house?
		And he basically jumps in his car and heads back over to his house and is yelling at Puffy for being in his house.
		Whole back and forth with them issuing bravado at each other.
		They don't end up meeting that day.
		Ultimately, when he pulls up there, he sees Diddy with his guard there in his Escalade.
		He pulls up in front of his house and then takes off.
		And Diddy's chasing him in a car.
		I mean, this is just insane that Diddy is in an Escalade chasing Kid Cudi.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		It's like out of a movie or something.
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, you wouldn't believe it.
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		You would think I'm making this up.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		What was Kid Cudi's attitude on the stand?
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Was he like, he wants to see Diddy go for life or what?
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		He was so ice cool.
		He really was.
		He really was.
		He ends up after...
		He heard that Puff wanted to blow up his car.
		Sure enough, a couple weeks later, his car catches fire, Cassie broke up with Kid Cudi out of fear as to what Diddy would do, because Diddy was going nuts.
		So she breaks up with Kid Cudi.
		They had been going out for months, if not close to a year.
		And then his car blows up.
		So he arranges a meet with Kid Cudi in a place called the Soho House.
		And he said, I walk into this place, and you have to realize the Soho House has a big wall of windows, and Diddy's waiting for me there.
		and he's got his back to me.
		And on the sixth floor, he's looking out of Beverly Hills with his hands clasped behind his back And he starts saying, you knew she was my girl.
		Why would you take her?
		You knew she was my girl.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		But it sounds more like a property thing.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		It sounds like, in Diddy's mind, it's like, no, that's my property.
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and he's like, she told me you broke up.
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		And Cassie had kept saying they split up because they were on and off.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		So wait, this is happening in the courtroom?
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		This is what he was testified to by Cuddy.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		This is crazy.
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		It was.
		It was insane.
		And he said, before I left that meeting, we sorted everything out.
		I just stood up.
		I wanted to look him in the eye.
		So I shook his hand.
		I looked him in the eye.
		And I say to him, what about my car?
		And he says to me, I don't know anything about your car.
		And I said, okay, cool.
		And I head to the door.
		Before I walked out, he says to me, are we cool?
		And I look at him and I said, you don't know anything about my car.
		We got nothing more here.
		And I walked out.
		And then years later apologized to him.
		And the prosecutor goes, did you believe him when he said he didn't know anything about your car?
		He's like, no, he was lying to me.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Of course he blew up my damn car.
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, so that was the Kid Cudi testimony.
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		So you had two other things you wanted to ask him about.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, quickly, what about all the tapes?
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, we're not going to see any of these tapes.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		But, I mean, where does it stand?
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		So they're not going to show them.
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		We're not going to see them.
		The jury's not going to see them.
		Most of those tapes seem to relate to the actual traditional definition of freak-off, not to the Cassie freak-offs.
		The only videos that this jury is supposed to be getting are videos that were taken from her own phone of freak-offs, and they already saw one of them.
		I don't know if they saw the entire thing or 30-second clip of it, but basically, and that's obviously hidden from the rest of us, only the jury.
		He's supposed to see that, and that's proper, that they shouldn't be sharing that with the viewing audience, where she's engaged with these escorts.
		But none of the tapes that were lifted from his house are supposed to be coming into this trial, and I don't foresee them coming in here, because they want to bury all of that.
		They want to make his big crime.
		That's the objective here, Maureen Comey, that his big crime here is what he did to these two women, and everything else he did, shh, don't look at that.
		Let's focus what a terrible monster he is with respect to these two women.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Well, this is so crazy, too, and I'm just like, Like, connecting different dots of other things I've heard in this culture universe, let's say, around P. Diddy.
		I mean, Kanye West, or Ye, as he wants to be referred to now, I mean, he's basically said things like, hey, you know these guys have gotten away with murder.
		He's like, hey, you're coming after me because I say bad things about Jews.
		These guys are out here, they're literally killing people.
		I don't know if that was a not-so-subtle reference to Diddy.
		But the point he made was clear.
		It's like, hey, you know these guys just get away with murder, and you're going to come after me for my words.
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		That came up yesterday and almost led to a mistrial because the arson investigator who looked in Kid Cudi's car said that when he wanted to see if it matched the prints on Kid Cudi's house, because...
		And we're like, "We don't have the print card anymore." That the fingerprint card of potentially Diddy's prints, we don't know that they are, but they were Diddy's prints, that those prints went missing.
		And the prosecutor said, is it normal for them to go missing?
		He's like, no.
		And that's when the defense went nuts, because the implication was he has his fingerprints all over the LAPD, literally, and that he has control of them.
		And we heard further testimony of that today, that no one in the LAPD would ever want to mess with him.
		Quite the contrary.
		They're much more likely to ask him for an autograph than to ever charge him with any crimes.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, well, there's definitely, that's going to be one angle to watch here is if Comey isn't spiking this thing intentionally to protect whatever else was behind this enterprise.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		And Diddy might have been independently acting for some other reasons, but, you know, you're talking about compromising an entire industry.
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		Can I weigh in on that?
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		I know it's not going to be popular with your audience.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		You've got 30 seconds.
		I'm sorry, I'm almost out of time.
		Yeah, go ahead.
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		That's all right.
		Comey definitely is tilted.
		She doesn't want to have the real crimes come out, but she happens to be a highly competent attorney.
		So she's a crazy left-linger.
		I think she wants to get the convictions only on these charges, and this way we can forget about all the real crimes.
		So I think she's twisted, but no one should underestimate her and think that she doesn't know what she's doing in the courtroom.
		She very much does.
		So I just want to make that...
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		With a last name like Comey, Quickly, they say they want this thing done by July 4th.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Are there going to be other big names testifying against Diddy?
joe nierman ▲ ● ▼		We don't know yet.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Okay, still a mystery.
		All right, Joe, great stuff.
		Appreciate your time.
		Let's catch up next week after another week of this chaos.
		Great work.
		Good logic on X. Give him a follow.
