unidentified
The silent majority is no longer silent.
This is The War Room with Owen Schroyer.
michael flynn
Please stand by for further details.
unidentified
We return you now to your regularly scheduled program.
We return you now to your regularly scheduled program.
Why hasn't the federal government stepped up and worked more?
Because listen, Bobby, I can't prove it tonight.
You can't prove it, but intuitively, you look at the spike.
at this fight, you look at what happened with the merosol, there is no doubt in my mind, maybe it's two years from now, maybe it's five years from now, maybe it's ten years from now, we're going to find out that the merosol causes, in my opinion, autism.
robert f kennedy-jr
You know what?
Hi, I'm Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., your HHS secretary.
I'm happy to report that last week we closed the final chapter in the long history of the merosol in the United States.
alex jones
HHS secretary R. K. Jr. has suspended the Biden era program that fired medical workers that wouldn't take poison shots around the country.
Basically told the hospitals to do it.
Hundreds of thousands were fired.
And more importantly, banned the mercury-based substance thimerosol in all vaccines?
robert f kennedy-jr
Thimerosol, of course, is a mercury-based vaccine preservative.
Its main component, ethylmercury, is a known and very potent neurotoxin.
Until we withdrew the recommendation last week, flu shots containing thimerosol, astonishingly, were still being administered to millions of Americans, including pregnant women and children.
In early 2001, the director of the FDA Office of Vaccine Research and Review, late William Egan, admitted under oath before Congress that thimerosol's safety had never been studied in human beings.
unidentified
mister Egan, has thumerosol ever been tested by our health agencies?
william egan
It's been only in there were those early tests that you know of that were done by Lily.
unidentified
And when was that test done?
That was done in 1929.
And okay, well, let's follow up on that.
In 1929, they tested this on 27 people that were dying of meningitis.
All of those people died of meningitis, and so they said there was no correlation between their death and the mercury in the vaccines.
That is the only test that's ever been done on thumerosol that I know of.
Can you think of any other?
william egan
No, in people, no.
Okay.
Except for accidental exposures over cancer.
unidentified
Okay, so we have mercury that's being put into people's bodies in the form of this preservative and has been since the 30s.
And it's never been tested by our health agencies.
And yet you folks come here and you testify that there's no conclusive evidence, conclusive evidence, and the IOM says they favor, get this, they don't say they're sure.
They say they favor rejection of a causal relationship between mercury and autism and other neurological disorders.
robert f kennedy-jr
Further, CDC has no existing guidelines for safe exposures to acylmercury.
It is therefore inexcusable that these agencies allowed neurotoxic mercury to be injected into Americans for so long.
A quick search on the National Library of Medicine's PubMed and PubChem websites, that's thousands of studies on search terms such as mercury neurotoxicity, mercury in development, and mercury in the brain.
Hundreds of them identify thimerosol as a potent neurotoxin, a carcinogen, a mutagen, and an endocrine disruptor.
alex jones
Dr. Mackerey says NIH brought up viruses that killed twenty million people million people worldwide, but what he's talking about is how they're still trying to send funding into it.
And so, yes, Trump's cut a lot of this funding, all of it needs to be cut.
marty makary
The FDA is strong and it will continue to be strong.
The cuts were consolidations, there was no layoffs to scientific reviewers or inspectors at the FDA.
There was consolidation of the twelve travel offices at the FDA.
And so we're going to institute teamwork and break up the fietdom culture within the agency.
michael flynn
It's an interesting conversation.
alex jones
And they've already done that.
owen shroyer
I mean, they've already fired in all three of those agencies, all of the boards RFK junior doing great work continuing to help make America healthy.
Again, war room starts on the other side of this break.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's Wednesday, August 6, 2025.
This is the Infowars war room, the fastest three hours on the internet starts now.
And I already had a bunch of news in a geopolitical stack dealing with some developments in Israel, but I think really more pertinently, the fact that you have a massive group of APAC congressmen in Israel right now while they're on recess.
And you had Mike Johnson who promised.
Oh, no, when we're on recess, we're going to keep up the work and I'm going to be in my district talking to my constituents and we're going to help Trump get the recess appointments.
And then what happened?
Thune and Johnson organized a plan to stop Trump from doing recess appointments.
He's had zero.
Presidents usually get dozens or hundreds of recess appointments.
Trump gets zero.
Thanks to Thune and Johnson.
MAGA, baby.
That's who Trump's riding with, by the way.
But not only that, Mike Johnson, of course, goes to Israel.
But maybe we just misinterpreted it when Mike Johnson said, well, I'm going to be in my home district during the recess.
Well, maybe his home district is Israel, actually.
Maybe that's all these congressmen and women's home district is in Israel.
Maybe that's what he meant.
So we'll look at that and then some of the other developments that we have on that situation.
But it's just embarrassing.
It's just embarrassing.
And, you know, maybe it would be one thing if it was calmer time times around this subject and it was calmer times in the Middle East.
But right now you're doing this when Israel is less popular than ever, when the situation in Gaza is now being fully revealed is it's just outright evil.
And again, today, I will choose not to air it, but these are journalists that are on the ground.
You can verify it.
They're reporting from Gaza every day.
unidentified
And it's just some of the sickest footage you've ever seen at a food aid truck delivery stop.
And it's just dead bodies bleeding out, shot by the IDF.
Now, they claim it's the IDF.
Now, I wouldn't doubt that Hamas is up to shenanigans with the aid as well.
Both of these groups are obviously at war.
And it's just despicable.
But what's going on to the Gazan people is just, just completely unbelievable at this point.
owen shroyer
But yeah, Hamas is like.
like, yeah, we're taking the aid.
We're here fighting the enemy.
We're here fighting the people that just destroyed your city and are about to take your land.
We're here fighting the enemy that set us up, literally.
So yeah, we're going to feed the people that are actually fighting the evil and fighting the war and they don't care about the rest.
So I don't doubt that Hamas is engaged in stuff like that.
But I don't have the footage of Hamas just sitting there.
Like it's a game at the food aid centers and just shooting people.
Hamas gets in there and takes it back to wherever they are hiding.
It's like the IDF getsets there and sits up there like it's a video game laughing and it's like, let's just let's just shoot a couple of people.
So I'm not going to show the footage, but it's just like, you know, it'd be one thing.
Okay, whatever.
Israel, greatest ally.
It's not going to last much longer, but fine.
Okay.
We're supposed to buy it.
They all go over there, do the wall act, everything else, go meet with Netanyahu again.
But, but it's like right now the timing.
You know, people are upset with what's going on in Congress.
Trump's approval rating is going down.
We're not, we're not getting much done here on the America First agenda that we want.
But it's, hey, our priorities.
are in a foreign country.
Our priorities are in Israel.
So bye bye, suckers.
That's where we're going.
But hey, there's no Israeli influence.
It's all Qatar is what I'm told.
unidentified
So what am I doing?
owen shroyer
It's weird.
Oh, and by the way, it appears that the Times of Israel agrees with me that Donald Trump.
And this whole Epstein drip, drip, drip thing is Israel doing it to bait him into a war with Iran.
And again, I just think it's the most logical conclusion.
So it's like, yeah, I''m upset at the way Trump has handled the Epstein files.
But with my own logic, I say at the same time, it's also he's rejecting a larger war in Iran and the drip, drip, drip.
He's just letting it happen.
So it could have been handled better.
And who knows what we end up getting with the Epstein files?
It'll be a disaster if Maxwell walks and we get nothing.
But yeah, I mean, they're definitely.
Whoever's got the Trump file, and it's not the Democrats, whoever has the Trump file is trying to get.
him to do something and saying, hey, we're just going to keep the drips then.
And he's obviously saying, fine, go ahead.
Go ahead.
I'm not going to do a larger war in Iran.
I'm not going to do an outright blessing of what Israel is doing in Gaza.
I've got to at least try to appear neutral on what's happening to the people there.
And no, no.
The times of Israel is like, yeah, this is definitely Israel with the Epstein files trying to blackmail Trump into war.
So we'll have that coming up too.
And then I guess there's a kind of like they try to keep it on the hush-hush.
And President Trump is like, well, I knew nothing of the deal that Todd Blanche cut.
I don't know.
I doubt that.
I don't really think it's that big of an issue.
Whether he knew or not, I'd say I'd be surprised if he didn't know about that.
But I guess there's a potential he didn't.
But it looks like, oh, oh, now Maxwell says, okay, yeah, Trump didn't do anything wrong.
He wasn't a predator.
All right.
Well, we already landed on that conclusion.
So does that mean?
Because obviously she's trying to get out.
She doesn't want to spend another ten years or whatever it is in that Fed camp, even though it is basically like a high school, like a high school cafeteria, gym lounge, you know, very low security, if any at all.
Hell, better than most people in major metropolitan areas where I live.
Top Trump officials will discuss Epstein's strategy at Wednesday dinner hosted by Vance.
Yeah.
Well, there were supposed to be some announcements from the White House this afternoon.
I don't know.
I don't know what, what's going to come of that.
Trump and the White House did announce that they are open to or perhaps even seeking negotiations with Putin right now on what's happening with the war in Ukraine and and the kind of political fallout that that they've had in the last couple of months, which is good.
Those two need to sit down.
That that's the most important meeting.
And it's like, you know, we can sit here and talk about the Israel issue all day long.
It's it's it's it's it a simple fix.
That's just like, hey, we just got to get out of there.
Just got to get a divorce with Israel.
We just got to decouple from the Middle East, let them figure it out.
We're done.
We've been there for decades and nothing good has come of it.
Certainly hasn't benefited us, at least that we know of.
There's oil deals and resource deals and mineral deals and who knows what else really went on.
But as far as we know, as far as what we're supposed to believe surface value, it's been of no benefit to the United States.
None.
Now, I'm sure there's secret stuff that happens that, you know, we're getting something out of it.
But for the public consumption, it looks bad.
But no, bigger picture, an American relationship with Israel.
Not really a big deal, probably a net negative, unless you want to support the military industrial complex, which is where they always go.
Oh, but look, Israel buys all the weapons.
Oh, okay.
So you like the military industrial complex.
Oh, but they share intelligence.
Oh, you mean Israel spies on us?
You like getting spied on?
No, for a bigger, bigger geopolitical impact, the United States and Russia should be top allies.
That's what that's that's what would really benefit the world.
That's what would really benefit both countries.
That's what could really, I think, keep the US dollar strong.
And then, and then some of the other countries will kind of fall in line and say, okay, well, we can now make oil deals and trade deals and we'll keep the US dollar strong.
But, oh, you start to really get into bed with Israel and just refuse to go anywhere else.
All of a sudden, Russia and the BRICS countries are going to say, US dollar.
Not really interested anymore.
So I'll get I'll get deeper into that.
Now I'll have a little update on some of the drama here in Texas.
It's a familiar story with Republicans at the end of the day.
It's pretty much the same story, whether it's Republicans in Texas, whether it's Republicans in DC, like to talk a big game, but can't seem to get the ball into the goal.
If they're even trying, still a big fat goose egg on the board.
If you catch my drift, plenty of opportunities to score points, plenty of opportunities to slam dunk it, but they prefer zero points on the board.
So that's just that's just the Republican Party in a nutshell.
And if you recall, because people kept blowing me up about this and I said, look, it's not my story.
It's not my scoop.
But if you recall, it was probably a week or two ago, maybe a month now.
I don't know, time is like a blur.
And I said, there's about to be a big story that's going to drop on a popular Republican congressman.
And I tied it into some other story that I teased and then came out.
Well, now the story's dropped and you may have seen it today.
It's not really because the big, the real big story hasn't really dropped yet.
So you can look at what's coming out right now.
And it's like, oh, this doesn't look good for the individual.
But if this story gets to the next level, then it's going to start to implicate some other things that go on in DC.
You know, the stuff that Madison Cawthorn talked about, that type of stuff.
Yeah.
So that tease that I did a couple weeks ago, we have a delivery today.
We can deliver the news for you today, but it's not, it's, it's.
not, it's, it's not even the full story yet.
And the people that are involved now are like, okay, how much farther do we want to go?
Can we do enough reputational damage to this guy or whatever their goal is?
Or do we need to keep pressing forward?
Because you look at the individual who's implicated here, seems he's not intimidated at all by this, which is pretty strange.
But that's just Washington, DC, you know?
That's just Washington, DC for you.
And then we do have some other health care news.
We just heard from RFK Jr.
We've got some other health care news dealing with health insurance dealing with this deal that's happening in in California specifically Los Angeles.
It is truly wild and it's almost like I want to open up the phones and try to take some calls from Los Angeles when these deportations started because this goes this this this is like a river that goes into like a bunch of different areas.
Water feeds into all these different areas with this river.
And that's the illegal immigration and the deportations.
So they start mass deportations and all of a sudden traffic in Los Angeles, which is like a nightmare..
Anyone that's anyone that's tried to drive in Los Angeles knows what a nightmare it is.
And then all the deportations happen and traffic just is gone.
Like, what the hell?
People haven't seen this in decades.
Open highways.
They're like, is this the Twilight Zone?
Did the rapture happen?
What green on the map?
I haven't seen green and green.
I didn't even know that was a color that existed on the traffic maps.
unidentified
What?
owen shroyer
Now, you have these doctors, you have these nurses and they're reporting.
unidentified
They're saying, hospitals are empty.
Nobody's in the hospitals.
owen shroyer
Now you got a bunch of libtars and they're like, oh., people are afraid to go to the hospital because of Donald Trump.
Well, okay, so they're afraid to go to the hospital because they're an illegal and a non citizen or they're not going to the hospital anymore because they've been deported.
So really, even even from the libtard angle, it still goes to the same result, which is Los Angeles was filled with so many illegal aliens.
Once they're all gone or I guess all in hiding, whatever it is, there's no traffic.
You can get into a hospital and not have to wait ten days.
Whoa.
I mean, imagine that America for Americans?
Wow.
How do you like that?
Would you as an American like to use your highways and not have to sit in traffic?
What a noble concept.
Would you as an American like your hospitals not be overwhelmed by a bunch of illegal aliens who are who are getting free health care by the way in California?
And now you can actually go in there and get in rather quickly.
You go in with a broken arm, a busted head.
It's like, oh, we have eight hours.
Now you can get in, maybe get to a surgeon in an hour or two.
unidentified
And an American, you get to actually, unbelievable, Americans having a better experience with American infrastructure.
All because there were tens of millions of illegal aliens here.
And so it's like one of those things.
It's like a person losing, it's like an obese person losing like 100 pounds overnight and not even knowing.
It's like, whoa, this is what it's like.
owen shroyer
it's like to be thin and lightweight.
unidentified
Wow.
owen shroyer
And then all the other stuff that follows from that is like, yeah, okay, you can do new things now.
unidentified
Wow.
owen shroyer
So we'll get into that.
And then I want to tie in something I've been talking about here with the youth and why they like communism that older generations just can't understand it.
And I've tried to communicate it.
I've got another.
I think I've got another way of communicating this today with a young girl who has graduated.
And I guess she's just, you know, she's just looking at the.
college loan that she's signed on to now and actually looking at the numbers and crunching them.
And she's like, oh my God.
Oh my God.
What the hell has happened?
And then she looks at the housing market.
It's nowhere near that.
She looks at car market.
She's like, okay, got to have a huge payment on that.
unidentified
And then they look at the situation with...
owen shroyer
It's increasing.
So again, I'm not promoting communism.
I never would, but we live in a society here.
And you have to listen to people's problems and you have to understand their problems.
And you may have a different approach to a solution, but you can't ignore the problem.
So yeah, I'm of the same belief system that, hey, communism is not the answer.
I'm of the same belief system that, no, I don't believe we should have student loan forgiveness.
And yeah, you sign a stupid loan contract that's on you.
And, and, sure, we can point out how they get pressured into it by the schools and they get pressured into it and indoctrinated into it, like, oh, this is this is the only way.
Which now it's kind of the opposite, quite frankly, unless you want to be an engineer or doctor or something.
But I want to kind of juxtapose it where it's like the realization for this girl, it's like, oh my God, you're supposed to because the concept is you get out of college and now you're running right now.
Now you've got a wide open track in front of you and you're ready to sprint.
But then you look down, you realize there's a 100 pound anvil tied to your ankle.
It's called your student loan debt and you can't run anywhere.
So we'll talk about that and kind of tie it into this whole communist thing.
But yeah, I mean, these younger Americans feel that America has abandoned them.
I never felt that way.
Maybe it's my upbringing.
I don't know.
Maybe it's just a personality thing.
I never felt that way.
I had to pay off six figures of college debt.
It wasn't fun.
I worked like 50, 60 hours a week in my early twenties.
So yeah, it's not fun.
But I'm saying I can relate to that.
I have a different, I have a different approach to it.
I was never communist, but it's like I can see why people just give up on America and just say, I've been sold a lie.
Who's looking out for me?
I'm going to vote communist.
I'm going to vote for student loan debt.
And it's not like they make a big issue of this.
I mean, the Biden administration pretended they were going to forgive student loan debt.
They couldn't do it.
It was all a it was a normal Democrat election cycle campaign pitch.
Vote for us.
We'll give you free stuff.
Vote for us.
We'll give you free money.
And it works.
Why do you think mom Donnie is top of the polls?
Because it works.
Because you have a bunch of disenfranchised Americans.
They look at their debt.
And then they look at the housing market.
They look at the car market.
They look at the price of groceries and everything else.
unidentified
Look at the price of an apartment, and they just say, what the?
What?
owen shroyer
They feel America's giving up on them and they give up on America.
And it's depressing to see.
And then a lot of them probably work 10, 20 years even and finally get in the right side of it and no longer feel communist, no longer vote.
Democrat, but it's a real thing.
Oh, but see, they're not addressing that.
Nobody's making a big thing about that because didn't you hear, didn't you hear there was a girl at Florida State that got into a verbal altercation with a guy in an IDF t-shirt?
I mean, that's the big issue now.
Literally, this is like the congressional issue.
It's a federal issue.
You're just like, okay.
Okay.
And then another one here that I talk about a lot.
I think we've had, I don't know if it's Brian or Ed Krassenstein., they look the exact same.
I've had them on before for conversations and debates, but they just came back from Japan or Brian just came back from Japan and he's he's saying the things that I say.
It's this it's this realization factor of we don't have to live like this.
There is absolutely no reason why America has to live like this.
The homelessness, the crime, the decay, the collapsing infrastructure, the drug abuse.
And I see right-wingers attacking him and whatever, it's fine.
They do it to themselves.
But no, you know, when you're right, you're right.
And he's right.
right, and he goes to Japan and he says, well, what the hell is going on?
There's no homelessness.
The streets are clean.
The subways are on time.
The subways are clean.
There's no crime.
I don't, I can let my kid run around in a major downtown area and I feel perfectly safe with it.
It's like, this is not, why isn't it like this in America?
So we got all of that and more coming up, kind of a long 30-minute intro today.
We'll come back and start covering news.
All right, let's kind of get through some of these other headlines and then I'll really lay into the geopolitical news in the second hour with some of these other big clips.
But.
So this drops today and I think there's a lot of developments here and I'll kind of come back to this later with the Times of Israel story that's saying, yeah, Israel is dripping out the Epstein stuff to get Trump to get into a bigger war and he's holding, but this hits the New York Post.
Gillane Maxwell told DOJ Trump never did anything concerning her.
Now, I don't, I don't doubt that this is true.
So two things can be true.
Donald Trump likes beautiful women.
Donald Trump hung out with Jeffrey Epstein.
Okay.
I don't think anybody's denying this.
Well, except maybe Trump.
I don't know.
unidentified
Next thing, Trump will come out and say, I never liked beautiful women.
owen shroyer
I don't know where people got this idea.
It's another Democrat hoax, ladies and gentlemen.
It's another Democrat more fake news.
Okay.
Never like beautiful women.
Don't like them.
Nope.
Not interested.
Never was.
Oh, okay.
So no, Trump liked beautiful women.
Beautiful women like Trump.
And he and him and Epstein were friends.
They hung out a lot.
unidentified
Okay.
owen shroyer
Okay, so that can be true and that is true.
And it can also be true that Trump never did anything illegal, never did anything with minors.
And perhaps at the time, and I would say probably, I believe, didn't even know Epstein was doing anything illegal.
And, and they probably just hung out at social events.
And maybe Epstein was trying to get him to do financial deals to get him on the hook and Trump didn't need to do it because he handles his own finances.
And maybe Epstein was trying to get him with some of these, you know, younger girls, but Trump didn't need to do it.
He's got his own women.
So Epstein might have been there trying to fandango that deal, but Trump never needed it.
And then, as it's evidence, when Trump found out about what Epstein was doing and recruiting the girls at Mar a Lago, he shut them off and cooperated with the feds.
And that was it.
And then the timetable even aligns because somehow now Epstein says, oh, Trump's the con man.
So I guess if you're Epstein and you're running this, you're running this operation at Mar a Lago and I don't know, maybe you think you have Trump's blessing on it and Trump shuts it down.
He's like, oh, he that he stabbed me in the back.
Oh, he's a con man.
So it looks like that's what's going on.
But okay, Epstein is out of the picture now, dead.
Who knows, killed himself on an island somewhere in Israel on Mars, whatever.
So now it's the Maxwell deal.
So, so obviously they're they're requesting a pardon.
The DOJ.
Now, I I don't know.
I don't it's it would be hard for me to believe that Donald Trump has, has no involvement in these negotiations considering what a massive story this has been for months now.
I I would be shocked if Trump really just handed over the whole thing to Todd Blanche and the DOJ.
I mean, I'd be shocked if at least they weren't sending him a message and then saying, what do you think about this?
Not that he's running the thing, but hey, let me know what you think about this in a message.
So, but they're saying Trump's saying, oh, I have nothing to do with it.
So they're twisting Maxwell's arm, obviously, to get her to say, hey, Trump didn't do anything wrong, which I don't think is a lie, but she's obviously trying to use whatever leverage she has to get out and get a pardon.
And of course, they're not, I mean, that would be a disaster to give Maxwell a par pardon at this point would be an absolute disaster.
So they try to find the middle ground and they say, hey, we're going to send you to the federal daycare over here.
All right.
Go play tennis, go cook pasta, you know, go, go exercise, go do your hair and just, all right, better than the better than the prison you're in.
Okay.
So just take this, say what, say what we want you to say about Trump and let's just, okay, so what we can do.
But there's obviously still a lot of jockeying going on back and forth.
But you get the feeling that this deal is not yet done because, because, you know, Maxwell and her attorney can kind of They can kind of twist the rudder on this thing any time they want.
And you know, the media is going to take the bait.
So it's kind of a very delicate situation now.
And because it was handled so badly at the outset, it's going to be almost impossible to get trust back at this point.
And so the only solution is full transparency, full declassification and really try to just reset and just hit the reset button.
And I think that Trump kind of g saw it with the vaccines.
And it's just like, no, the vaccines are good no matter what.
I'm going to say they're good.
I'm going to say Operation Warped Food's good.
We're going to celebrate it.
It's a victory.
And it's just like he can't.
It's like he just won't let it go.
When it's like, no, you got to just hit the reset button.
Say you were duped about COVID.
You were duped by Fauci.
I mean, you got plenty of fall guys to blame it on.
You were told we needed the vaccines to get the economy open or stop the spread.
You believed these people.
You thought they were trustworthy.
You did it.
I guess if you don't want to admit you made a mistake, maybe this is what's holding you up, but it's like, no, just hit the reset button and say, Fauci was a bad guy.
They lied about everything.
I did the vaccine deal to get the economy and stop the virus from spreading.
That was my intent.
I know that things got bad and it didn't go the way we wanted.
So here, here's, here's what happened.
So it's like the same thing.
Just come out and say, all right, we handled the Epstein deal badly.
There were, there were things in there that I didn't know were in there.
And so we kind of just handled and botched the rollout, but you know, we're going to fix this.
We're going to make it right.
The American people will understand that.
And they'll be patient with that.
But when you come out and you say, Oh, Operation Warp Speed, the vaccines were great.
Now you're insulting us.
Oh, I didn't know Epstein.
It was all a hoax.
Now you're just insulting us.
That's not going to work.
But this is now the jockeying.
And so they're going to try to get positive messaging out of Maxwell, but she's only going to give him so much until she gets what she wants, which is out of prison.
But they can't.
There's no way they can let her out.
That would be way, way too obvious.
So she's in the nice little federal daycare for now.
And the Epstein thing is dying down a little bit, but it's going to come back in full force when you start to have these hearings.
And, you know, stuff always leaks out.
You know, something always leaks out.
Somebody always drops a hint.
Somebody always drops a viral cut.
So when these things happen in a couple weeks.
Oh, well, yeah, people are going to know.
What did Bill Clinton have to say?
Trump says Bill Clinton has been on Epstein Island 28 times.
Seems very confident in that number, by the way.
Trump does.
Of course, Bill Clinton is denying it.
And then they come out with the footage.
It's just more drip, drip, drip.
And you've got Qatari leaders and Saudi Arabian leaders and Israeli leaders and Trump and all these people Epstein is in there with in the pictures.
He's got cameras in every room.
He's got weird, coded art.
unidentified
It's not as bad as the Podesta stuff, but...
owen shroyer
And it's just like, wow, yeah, this was Epstein's job.
So where all these people.
business partners with his financing firms?
Were all these people clients that liked what Epstein had to offer at the island?
What about the dollar bill signed by Bill Gates that says, you were right?
Remember the movie Trading Places and the two guys bet a dollar?
Great movie, Dan Ackroyd, Eddie Murphy.
And they bet a dollar about, oh, can you make the homeless guy into a successful Wall Street broker?
And they're just so rich that, oh, we just bet a dollar.
Is it some weird deal like that.
What was going on at Zoro Ranch.
And it's almost like nobody wants to get into that.
And I understand why.
You talk about victims of sex crimes.
You talk about sexual blackmail of world leaders.
It's like, okay, that's, yeah, that's the human interest story.
Well, what about them cloning?
What was going on in the cloning deal?
Why is Bill Gates, did Bill Gates make some sort of a bet with Epstein?
Was it about the cloning centers in Zoro Ranch?
That's a whole nother angle to this that gets almost no attention.
This was stuff they've been doing.
This was stuff they were doing for 20 years potentially.
I mean, who knows what they were doing?
But nobody's really asking about that.
So, well, let's just see what happens when these hearings start to come down.
And, you know, maybe.
I know Comer is aware of this stuff, but then it just becomes a matter of time.
But, you know, maybe it's like, hey, do we start?
Everybody knows about the island and everybody knows about.
the sex trafficking.
So how do we now, okay, that's not going anywhere.
But how do we build this?
How do we build up a new phenomenon?
How do we build up the new pressure and say, wait a second?
I think it was New York Times or Washington Post.
Some of them did a whole piece about it.
How Epstein wanted to seed the world.
And how they were running eugenics programs and they wanted to seed the world with their clones.
Somebody's been to that ranch.
Somebody heard about cloning.
You know, there's a little bit of a story there, I'd say.
But I'll tell you what.
Let's put that aside for a second.
And let's just look at some general stuff here.
Let's look at some general stuff of issues all Americans deal with.
It doesn't matter your skin color, your religious beliefs, your political alignment.
Let's start with this.
So this is an LA nurse talking about how the hospitals where usually you're waiting hours on end to see a doctor.
Now all of a sudden they're empty too.
Is this all from the deportations?
So this is one take from a LA nurse reporting on this in clip six.
@mylifeasanrn
I just got off my twelve hour shift at one of LA County's easiest hospitals and ERs.
And you guys, our waiting room is just empty, like four patients max like every hour.
And as much as a healthcare worker enjoys a slow day, it's actually pretty scary.
unidentified
Like, I know that a lot of patients are just scared to seek medical care right now.
And it's just really sad the circumstances that we are in right now.
And it just scares me for the results of this after because a lot of patients are going to hold off to not seek medical care.
And they're going to come back 10 times sicker.
And I just want to urge anybody who has any family members who are experiencing any serious symptoms to encourage them to seek medical care.
Hospitals are supposed to be safe spaces.
And we are there to protect our patients.
@mylifeasanrn
patients and care for them regardless of who they are where they are and where they come from.
So this is just a PSA.
Please, please, please educate anybody who is scared to see seek medical care to seek it if necessary and don't wait.
owen shroyer
So let's respond to all this here for a second.
Now, obviously, she's probably a bleeding heart liberal based off of her, let's say, style of delivery here.
But, you know, anybody that knows nurses knows they got big hearts.
They really do care about people, whatever their political affiliation is.
So I think she comes from a good place there.
But aside from wherever her heart is at, a hospital is a safe place.
Well, now hold on a second.
If, if you go out and commit a crime and shoot someone or stab someone and you get shot or stabbed yourself in the process of committing a crime and you go to a hospital, yeah, you're going to get treated and you're going to be arrested.
So that doesn't mean it's like a sanctuary for criminals to escape the law.
So yeah, an illegal alien goes in there and needs medical care, you're going to treat them, but that doesn't mean they're above the law.
unidentified
Okay.
owen shroyer
But think about what she's saying here.
Oh, well, the hospitals are empty because people are too scared to come in because they're all illegal aliens.
Well, isn't that the problem?
So maybe you're concerned.
Maybe it's some bleeding heart leftist statement that you're trying to make.
Maybe you're genuinely concerned about people's health.
Maybe it's somewhere in between.
But what you're saying is the city of Los Angeles is so inundated with illegal aliens that that now that they're either all deported or scared to come out, the hospitals are wide open.
The traffic is gone.
I mean, it's kind of, uh, it's kind of being on the wrong side of that issue.
So what?
You want the hospitals to be filled.
You want Americans to not be able to get health care.
Healthcare because it's filled with illegal aliens.
You want Americans to sit in traffic hours a day because the streets are clogged up with illegal aliens.
Is that what you're saying?
Seems like that's what you're implying here.
So, hey, you can have a big heart and want to take care of everybody, but nobody's above the law.
Am I right?
So that is just an incredible thing to witness in Los Angeles.
And so far, it hasn't changed.
Traffic still less than normal.
That's a recent video.
So the hospitals are still not filled.
Like they normally are.
Notice how she knows it.
Oh, I know why the hospitals are empty because all the illegal aliens are scared to come in.
Well, they must not be that sick.
And I guess that proves that Los Angeles is inundated with illegal aliens, which is not a good thing.
So I know you have such a big heart and that's nice, but just because you need health care doesn't mean you're above the law.
All right.
And I think this is something to be celebrated.
If I'm an American, if I'm livd be outraged.
I'd be saying, you mean to tell me that the Los Angeles living experience has been so miserable because of non-citizens?
That was it?
My traffic headaches, my nightmares at the hospital, it was all because of illegal aliens?
Yeah, I'd be pretty pissed about that.
And I would not be shutting up about it if I lived in Los Angeles.
So this gets into some other issues here.
The economy is not good, folks.
It's not.
And that's not, people hear that and they're like, whoa, you're a panic and you're anti-Trump.
I'm not blaming Trump.
100%.
This is because of the Biden administration.
Trump's big mistake was letting them shut down the economy and then the stimulus during COVID.
That's the portion of this that he bears.
But no, I'm not blaming Trump for this.
But when he comes out and says the economy's great, I'm not going to sit here and say, oh, yes, and clap like a seal.
No, it's not.
People still can't afford to live in this country.
People defaulting on their mortgages and car payments and credit card debt and student loans higher than it's ever been.
That's that's an unhealthy economy.
That's a bad economy.
And that's not even all Biden either.
This is just this is decades of bad economic policy and decisions.
But so here's one woman complaining about her health care plan.
And so, you know, this is why getting the economy going is so important.
And really, this is this is a big issue.
The Democrats don't want the economy good.
The Democrats like a bad economy because then they can run on giving you free stuff.
So the Democrats crash the economy and then they come in in an electiontion cycle and say, I know the economy's bad, so here's some free stuff.
So listen to this lady talking about what happened with her health care plan in clip seven.
unidentified
It's really unfair that I have to choose either having health care.
owen shroyer
It has dramatic effects here to me.
unidentified
I got a letter today from Blue Shield Blue Cross and my monthly premiums went up to $2,627 a month, $17.
If I choose health insurance, I lose my house.
If I choose my house, I lose my health insurance.
Either way, number one.
I'm breaking the law.
owen shroyer
Okay, you did the point.
Now, this is what happens when you take Americans' money from them via taxes.
I guarantee them to you, if you cut this lady's taxes to ten percent of what she's paying now, which is totally realistic to do, then she could probably afford her health insurance and her house payments.
So that's the simplest solution, it's just stop taking Americans' money, period.
And you don't need to send billions to foreign countries.
You don't need to send billions to Israel.
You don't need to send billions to Ukraine.
You don't need to spend all the foreign aid.
You don't need to do it.
Okay.
So let's stop it.
You don't need to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on all this military stuff.
Oh, now we need the Golden Dome.
Well, why?
Maybe we should just stop.
Maybe we should just stop getting involved in these wars.
So here's another one, though.
This young girl gets out of college and realizes what's going on with her student debt.
And it hits her so hard.
She gets a little emotional.
And, you know, we know this about women.
They get a little emotional.
unidentified
It's okay.
owen shroyer
All right.
Let's be patient.
But here she is expressing it in clip 17.
unidentified
So as it turns out, this.
Well, as it turns out, the student loans that I've been paying $1,500 a month for for two years have a 17% interest rate.
So what I thought I've been paying off for all this time, I'm actually like, I owe more than what I started off with.
Why the fuck?
So, Jump Bezos, this would be a really cool fucking time to Venmo me, bro.
I owe $90,000 and I But you get the point.
owen shroyer
She talks about how she can't afford anything but the minimum payment.
But then she looks at it, that means her debt just keeps going up.
unidentified
Now.
owen shroyer
Now here's Marjorie Taylor Greene addressing this in clip 17.
marjorie taylor greene
You're seeing a pull away and primarily people, I would say, anywhere ranging from 40 to 50 and under and then drastically, especially under 30 because these are the people that are getting hit hardest and they're saying we're never going to be able to buy a house.
And it's not just interest rates are the reasons, it's the cost of housing and the availability.
I mean, when you've got companies like Blackstone buying up all the houses and turning them into rental homes and no one in Washington DC is willing to do anything about it.
Well, you have 20 and 30-year-olds who are frankly pissed off and rightfully so.
And I'm their mom.
And Eric, when it comes to my kids, there's nobody I'll fight harder for.
And I hate the term mama bear because I don't really think of myself that way.
I was never one of those helicopter moms, but I am fighting in Washington, DC to affect the policies and the direction of the Republican Party because I want it to serve my kids' generation.
And I think that's the right thing that we should be doing.
owen shroyer
Now, I can also tie this into the Krasenstein family, Brian Krasenstein getting back from the Re Japan and saying how shocked he is at how nice it is there compared to America.
This is an issue I've been talking about for a long time.
Like Tucker Carlson goes to Russia.
He's like, why is Russia nicer than America?
What the hell is this?
You can go to the AAE, Qatar, all these different places.
They don't have these problems.
The third worldification of our metropolitan areas is not a shared problem in these other first world countries.
And so you scratch your head.
It's like, what's going on?
Well, Marjorie Taylor Greene, honestly, her political IQ right now is like.
top notch because she gets it.
And this is why I was so frustrated and I was talking about this yesterday, why I see these right wingers that are just becoming a holes and they're just missing this opportunity.
You know, the Democrat Party is reeling.
They didn't deliver during the Biden years.
They didn't deliver really with anything in the Obama years either.
So you have a lot of disenfranchised liberals that are looking for something.
But when Republicans come out and insult them and all this other stuff, then they're just they're never going to come over.
It's like, hey, hold on a second.
Let's hear these people out.
Doesn't mean we have to agree on things.
Doesn't mean we have to agree on a solu solution, but it's like this is a real problem.
And these younger generation, liberals, even, they're looking for somebody that's going to address or hear their issues.
It doesn't mean we have to go communist, but it's like, hey, you know what we're going to do?
We're going to keep more money in your pocket.
We're going to cut your taxes.
You know what we're going to do?
We're going to turn up American energy.
We're going to cut regulations so that your, your cost of living goes down.
We're going to give this one a try because folks, these are real issues.
These are real issues that young people are facing and they look at the country and they say, this country, this country has turned its back on me.
So who's going to stand there for them.
unidentified
All right.
I want to continue with this issue, but it's...
It's...
owen shroyer
And there's a huge void in American politics right now where nobody is filling it.
Which is saying, what is the common cause here?
What is the unifying cause here?
And the answer is our own cause.
The answer is the cause of America.
But instead we have to deal with Ukraine and we have to deal with Israel and we have to deal with foreign aid all over the planet and have to build golden domes and all this other garbage.
Meanwhile, the average American is like, I don't know how I'm going to afford to live.
Meanwhile, the average American is going to their downtown major metropolitan areas and wondering if they can even get home safe.
They don't care about what happens in Ukraine.
They don't care about what happens in the Middle East.
They're they're living day to day just trying to get by.
And who is addressing their issues?
Who is delivering for them?
So yes, we need a unifying cause and it's the American cause.
And we need somebody to properly communicate this.
But in order to properly communicate this, you have to understand this.
You have to be willing to learn.
You have to be willing to listen.
And I see Marjorie Taylor Greene.
And I don't know if it's just an instinctual thing with her or that she's really studying the political issues right now.
But she's filling the void better than anyone else.
I don't even see President Trump trying anymore, to be honest.
And he's getting some good stuff done, but it's it's it's not it's not where it needs to be.
It needs to be every day pounding the pavement for the American people.
It needs to be every day pounding the pavement for these issues that are so common that nobody wants to seriously listen to or address.
And I guess it's because there's no money in it for them.
There's no lobbyists.
You know, who's lobbying for the little guy?
Say, why does it why do Israel's interests always get put before the American interests?
Well, are you lobbying D DC?
Are the, are the student loan debt-ridden Americans, are they in DC lobbying?
No.
No, see because the average American now is basically living in debt, the average American now is basically living paycheck to paycheck.
They can't lobby.
They can't spend millions of dollars to influence DC politics.
So they go unheard.
And then when, when somebody hears the issues they bring up, they just say, oh, stop complaining.
And so we can make fun of AOC with the whole, oh, you know., pull yourself up by your bootstraps thing.
But I mean, to a certain degree, you don't have to agree with her politically, but to a certain degree, you have to recognize that there's actually something there.
And then when you're on the right and you just discount this, you say, Oh, you're a stupid liberal, you're a stupid communist.
Well, then you're just, you're not fixing anything.
And no, the economy is not getting better.
Cost of living is still way up.
Inflation is down.
That's good.
Wages have gone up a little bit, but cost of living is still way up.
Taxes are still too, too high.
Energy bills, grocery bills, still too high.
And then you look at the debt, which is compounding interest on people.
This is what needs to be addressed.
This is when you talk about, you know, building up the middle class or giving people the chance to climb the financial ladder.
That's where it starts.
But these people feel hopeless right now, folks, and they don't see anyone in politics reaching out on their issues.
Nobody.
And I want to get into the geopolitical news now, but the truth is.
I can't communicate this enough.
I can't.
There's, there's, I really, it's almost like a test deal where it's like, let's just, let's just send a bunch of test waves out there and see what works.
So it's like, how do we, how do we get Americans to unify on American issues and American causes?
And people are sick of hearing about Ukraine.
They're sick of hearing about Israel.
And I get it.
We all are.
And the reasons why are legitimate.
Why people are talking about it are legitimate.
We're sick of sending all our money over there.
We're sick of our foreign policy being influenced by all this stuff., the deep state, the intelligence agencies, all of it, the military-industrial complex, we're sick of it.
Americans are getting crushed.
But it's just like, how do we, you got to practice this.
It's like, I'm going to throw a hundred curveballs until I know the exact grip I like, the exact rotation I like, the exact arm angle I like, the exact downward motion I like.
And it's like, once you get it, then you've got your curveball, then you can throw it.
So it's like, how do we get the right?
delivery system here to really institute political change that affects in a positive way every American left, right, center., all of them, because that's the only solution here.
And as long as right-wingers are going to insult young people for complaining about the lot that they get coming out, then you're never going to be able to do it.
But see, that's why I'm looking at Marjorie Taylor Green and I'm saying she gets it.
She sees it.
She's either got great political instincts or she's really honing in on these things.
And she's saying, you know what?
The left-right paradigm, though it's a real thing, has failed Americans.
And there's a huge void now in DC, in Washington politics where nobody's nobody's listening.
Nobody's listening to the American people and what their issues are.
And I get it because all these people in DC, they're all rich.
There's so much freaking money in DC, they don't care.
So they either come from rich families or they're taking advantage of the money there.
They're not hearing from the the the Americans that are actually going through all this.
So they just cast them aside to say, yeah, you have no money.
We don't care about you.
Go figure it out on your own.
Well, you know what happens?
You get a communist mayor of New York City.
That's what happens.
And you know what happens next?
You get a communist press.
unidentified
So you might want to get ahead of that.
You might want to try to stop that.
owen shroyer
It might be time to open your mind a little bit.
It might be time to open your eyes and open your ears and open your heart a little bit to these issues.
I'm not telling you to promote or believe in left-wing politics.
I'm just sitting here looking at this massive void.
And now I'm seeing leftists start to see it.
I'm seeing people on the right start to see it.
Nobody politically, but it's like the same thing with the Krasenstein family coming back from Japan.
They're like, why is this city so nice compared to American cities?
unidentified
Jeez.
owen shroyer
Exactly.

Now we are waiting comments from President Trump.
It's going to be on this news.
Trump to announce Apple's plan to invest $100 billion in US manufacturing.
And they're saying they're going to make all their screens here.
So you're talking about millions of screens.
So I know they're going to have a huge plant in Kentucky.
There will likely be other plants as well.
So this is a Trump win.
This is a big Trump win.
And what I'd like to see, we'll see what happens at this White House press conference here.
What I'd like to see is President Trump go a little bit further here and start to go on the attack and say, hey.
Great news for America.
Okay.
This is going to produce jobs and it's going to bring back some of our manufacturing power, some of our manufacturing leverage in the global economy.
But I'm okay with him coming out and waving a victory flag here and I anticipate that, but I don't want that to be the force of this.
He needs to come out here and he needs to go on the attack and he needs to address how we even got into this situation.
And he needs to be coming out and he needs to be saying, you know, this is great news that we got this deal done.
And I think Tim Cook is at the White House today.
President Trump stepping out right now.
But he needs to be like, yeah, there's Trump with Cook.
He needs to be like, why did these countries leave America to begin with?
And get into that.
But Trump live at the White House with Vance, Cook, Lutnick, and Besant.
Let's go live.
donald j trump
My book.
Before we begin, I'd like to say a few words about the shooting at Fort Stewart in Georgia.
As you know, five people were seriously wounded and two very, very seriously hurt around 11 o'clock this morning.
The shooter is now in custody and the Army Criminal Investigation Division is on site to ensure that the perpetrator of this atrocity, which is exactly what it is, will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
The entire nation is praying for the victims and their families, and hopefully they'll fully recover, and we can put this chapter behind, but we're not going to forget what happened.
We're going to take very good care of this person that did this horrible person.
This afternoon, we're pleased to welcome to the White House one of the great and most esteemed business leaders and geniuses and innovators anywhere in the world, Apple CEO Tim Cook.
Amazing job.
Thanks as well to Secretary of the Treasury Scott Besant and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick for being here wherever you may be.
Oh, there you are.
Hello, fellas.
I missed you.
Today, Apple is announcing that it will invest $600 billion, this with a B, in the United States over the next four years.
That's $100 billion more than they were originally going to invest.
And this is the largest investment Apple has ever made.
in America and anywhere else.
And it's just an honor to have you.
As you know, Apple has been an investor in other countries a little bit.
I won't say which ones, but a couple.
And they're coming home.
$600 billion.
That's the biggest there is.
The company is also unveiling its ambitious new American manufacturing program, which will bring factories and assembly lines across our country all roaring to life.
Areas that were not doing so well are doing very well.
We have about $17 trillion coming into the United States, which is more than ever before.
That's never even come close.
There's never been anything like it.
Even you, that's even a lot of money for you.
But we have commitments of more than $17 trillion.
That was as of a couple of weeks ago.
These investments will directly create more than 20,000 brand new American jobs and many thousands more at the Apple suppliers like Corning, Broadcom, Texas Instruments and Samsung who all deal in that world.
As part of this historic commitment, Apple will massively increase spending on its domestic supply chain for the iPhone and will build the largest and most sophisticated smart glass production line in the world in Harrisburg, Kentucky, which is a great, actually, I did very well there.
I like it because I see I did very well there.
I did very well in Kentucky, but it's a great place.
You're going to be very happy.
I thought maybe while we're up, I'll interrupt my own speech by you might show them a little bit about the product that you're going to be doing in Kentucky, Tim.
tim cook
Absolutely.
donald j trump
Remind myself of the pastries.
tim cook
This box was made in the U.S. in California, and this glass comes on the corning wine.
It's engraved for President Trump.

It's a unique unit of wine.
tim cook
It was designed by a U.S. Marine Corps corporal, a former one, that works at Apple now.
Designed it for you.
And the base comes from Utah and is 24-carat gold.
And it sits.
I'll take the liberty of setting it up.
unidentified
wow Well, there we go.
tim cook
Congratulations.
unidentified
Thank you so much.
donald j trump
Great people of Kentucky.
You're going to find it a great place to do business too.
It's fantastic.
And then nice, we're doing these things now in the United States instead of other countries, far away countries.
This is a significant step toward the ultimate goal of ensuring that iPhones sold in the United States of America also are made in America with the mass infusion of capitalists announcing today.
Apple will also build a 250,000 square foot server manufacturing facility in Houston.
and invest billions of dollars to construct data centers across the country from North Carolina to Iowa to Oregon.
That's big stuff.
Apple will also open state-of-the-art manufactacture economy.
It's going to be a manufacturing academy in Detroit and that's a great place to do.
You know, big things are happening in Michigan and Detroit.
They're coming in because of what we've done with the, I call it the great, big, beautiful bill.
I added one word, great.
But we have probably the biggest, most comprehensive piece of legislation ever passed.
It's going to mean unbelievable numbers of jobs and no jobs on think of this whether it's tips or overtime or Social Security no tax so no tax on tips, no tax on social security, no tax on overtime.
And that's just a small bit of it.
For Apple and others' businesses, we're talking about the deductions and all of the things.
And actually, for people that go out and buy a car, first time it's ever been done, we talk about deductions for companies, but they're going to be able to deduct interest when they borrow money to buy a car if it's made in America.
It has to be made in America.
It is amazing.
And one of the reasons I think I can say that Apple is coming here is the legislation we just passed with this kind of investment.
Apple will also open other facilities.
rare earth magnets from Texas and build, oh, I love that you're doing this.
I love that.
I love that.
And build a brand new rare earth recycling line in Mountain Pass, California.
I know that area.
That's where they have a lot of truly rare earth.
That's fantastic.
I love that.
And Apple will help develop and manufacture semiconductors and semiconductor equipment in Texas, Utah, Arizona, and New York.
For years, Americans have watched as many of our leading tech giants built their factories overseas and exported American jobs abroad.
But under the Trump administration, we're doing everything.
possible to make this the best place on Earth to build a factory or grow businesses.
I'm allowing them to build electric producing plants with their factory because otherwise they'd have to hook into the grid.
And I think it's one of the biggest things we've done where you can build, Tim, your own electricity.
unidentified
You become your own electric manufacturer.
And that goes along with the plant.
So you become a utility.
So congratulations.
Now you're in the utility.
I hope they don't value your company based on utility, but that's OK.
You're going to make you're going to be making your own electricity.
And as you probably know, for much of this and much of many of the things that we're doing, especially the AI, they would need actually double the electricity that the country now produces for everything.
So it's massive electric and they're going to be able to make their own and they're getting very fast approvals Lee Zeldin is doing a fantastic job including with a 100 percent expensing on the one big beautiful bill in return we're asking our businesses to invest in America and they're coming in at levels that we've never seen before.
donald j trump
So I don't know when it shows up, but there are a lot of factories and a lot of plants that are either under construction or soon will be starting construction.
So can't tell you exactly when, but I want to be around in about a year from now and two years from now because we're going to see an explosion, I think, like this country has never seen before.
Never.
Today's announcement is one of the largest commitments in what has become among the greatest investment booms in our nation's history.
And we've got the hottest country anywhere in the world.
And I told you the story that, and Tim, I'll tell you, but I went to the Middle East and I was with Qatar.
I was with UAE and the king of Saudi Arabia, all great leaders.
And then I went to NATO and saw many great leaders.
We just finished that about four weeks ago.
Virtually everyone said, in effect, that we were a dead country one year ago.
This was a dead country.
We were dying.
We were dead.
And now you've got the hottest country anywhere in the world.
This would have never happened except for certain people.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate it.
Nvidia is investing $500 billion to go along with Apple, $600 billion.
Micron, great company, is investing 200 billion.
IBM is investing more than 150 billion.
SoftBank is investing substantially more than 100 billion.
TSMC is investing 200 billion.
Johnson and Johnson 55 billion.
Merck, Solantis, and General Motors are putting many, many billions in.
They haven't determined the final number.
And many other countries are investing tens of billions of dollars.
And I'm not going to.
give you the whole list because the list is too long to read, but it's hundreds of billions and even trillions, I mean, it's trillions of dollars that's being invested right now.
Last week it was announced that our economy grew at 3% in the second quarter and consumer confidence is surging.
Blue-collar wages are rising rapidly.
Costs are way down.
You know, I listen to these horrendous frauds on CNN and various other fake news networks and they say costs are up.
No, no, costs are down.
Gasoline is down.
It's going to soon, I believe, be less than $2 a gallon.
It's around $240 right now.
many places other than in California where they tax you out of business and a couple of others but gasoline is way down the price of groceries are down.
How about eggs?
When I first came here, my first week, the press hit me very hard on eggs.
Eggs had quadrupled or something.
I said, I didn't know about it.
Give me a chance.
I've just been here for four days.
Well, eggs are down.
Everything's down.
Price is down.
The only thing that's up is stock prices.
That's really up, and that's through the roof.
The stock market has been hitting all-time records, all-time highs.
Last week it was announced that our economy grew at levels that we haven't seen in a long time, but the real levels of growth are going to be judged in a year from now when you start seeing some of these incredible plants because we have car plants opening.
They're coming in from Canada, from Mexico.
Now see, and from all over the world.
owen shroyer
I agree with Trump on that.
But to sit here and say that the cost of living is down is just, it's just not happening, folks.
And look, when you're in DC and you've got millions of dollars or whatever it is, you don't notice, you don't notice this stuff.
Okay.
You don't, you don't look at your grocery bill.
You don't look at the price per pound on a steak or ground beef.
So they might really believe what they're saying here or or try to compare it to the Biden years with the rising costs that aren't there in the Trump years.
But know that the costs are not down.
They're just not on eggs, yeah, but that was one singular issue that was inflated when they killed all the chickens.
There's a lot of work to be done on this issue.
But I do agree.
I'd say you do maybe wait a year until you can really give it a grade.
All right, continue.
donald j trump
You're right.
That's where it came from.
And we've really just started.
This is just in its infancy.
So we have a great country.
We have a country that is going to be very rich.
It's a country that we're very proud of, but it's going to be very rich.
And it's companies like Apple, they're coming home.
They're all going to treat them really well.
We're going to be putting a very large tariff on chips and semiconductors.
But the good news for companies like Apple is if you're building in the United States or have committed to build, without question committed to build in the United States, there will be no charge.
In other words, we're not going to be charging.
So a lot of countries, a lot of companies are leaving various other places and they're coming to the United States.
So in other words, we'll be putting a tariff on of approximately 100% on chips and semiconductors.
But if you're building in the United States of America, there's no charge, even though you're building and you're not producing yet in terms of the big numbers of jobs and all of the things that you're building.
If you're building, there will be no charge.
So I just want everyone to know that.
And I didn't even tell you that inside.
We discussed the concept, but I didn't.
So it's a big factor.
So 100% tariff on all chips.
and semiconductors coming into the United States.
But if you've made a commitment to build or if you're in the process of building, as many are, there is no tariff.
Okay?
If for some reason you say you're building and you don't build, then we go back and get, we add it up, it accumulates and we charge you at a later date, you have to pay.
And that's a guarantee.
So that's a big statement.
And I think the chip companies are all coming back home.
They're all coming back.
You know, we started with Intel and gradually Intel was just taken over the, over the coals.
They were taken to the cleaners, frankly.
and moved to other places, in particular Taiwan.
But I think a lot of those companies are coming back and they're coming back very rapidly, so that's a big statement, 100% tariff.
I want to thank you very much.
Tim, would you like to say a few words about your company, please?
tim cook
Good afternoon, everyone.
Mr President, thank you very much for having me here today.
You've been a great advocate for American innovation in manufacturing, and I'm grateful for your leadership and your commitment.
That's a commitment we share at Apple because American innovation is central to everything we do.
Our products are designed here, we're hiring and growing here, and we support 450,000 jobs with thousands of suppliers and partners in all 50 states.
Earlier this year, we made our largest ever spending commitment, $500 billion to the U.S. over the next four years.
That's already yielding results.
Earlier this year, we broke ground on a new factory in Houston to make advanced AI servers.
owen shroyer
And just last month, the very first time we are up against a break here, Tim Cook speaking from the White House.
Look, this is what we've been talking about with what Trump is trying to do with the economy.
So this is playing out how it should and how we anticipated it would.
There's another big step though, and that's the corporateate tax rate.
So they're cutting regulations.
Let's cut the corporate tax rate next.
michael flynn
All right.
owen shroyer
I want to go back to the White House, inside the Oval Office, Tim Cook speaking about the deal that he and Apple just cut with President Trump.
And let's go back.
tim cook
He shared some kind words about that work, but he also asked us to think about what more we could commit to doing.
And Mr. President, we took that challenge very seriously.
I'm glad to be here with you today, and I'm very proud to say that today we're committing an additional 100 billion to the United States, bringing our total U.S. investment to $600 billion over the next four years.
As a part of this, we're launching Apple's American manufacturing program.
It will spur even more production right here in America for critical components used in Apple products all around the world.
And we're thrilled to announce that we've already signed new agreements with 10 companies across America to do just that.
First, with today's announcements, I'm proud to say that Apple is leading the creation of an end-to-end silicon supply chain right here in America from design to equipment to wafer production to fabrication to packaging.
In Texas, we're working with manufacturers like Texas Instruments, Global Wafers America, and Applied Materials.
We're working with Amcor in Arizona and Broadcom and Global Foundries in New York.
Thanks to President Trump's vision and with his help in his first term, we also led the way to bring TSMC to Arizona by committing to be their first and largest customer.
Today, they're producing tens of millions of chips for Apple using one of the most advanced process technologies in America today.
We're going to keep working with our suppliers to move even more of this incredibly advanced work to America.
And this year alone, American manufacturers are on track to make 19 billion chips for Apple in 24 factories across 12 different states.
Second, we're committed to buying American made advanced rare earth magnets developed by MP Materials, which will become part of Apple's devices shipped around the world.
MP is the only fully integrated rare earth producer in the United States, and with this partnership, they'll be significantly expanding their flagship facility in Fort Worth, Texas.
We're also thrilled to work together on a cutting edge rare earth recycling line in Mountain Pass, California.
And third, in Kentucky, we've worked with our partners at Corning to build the world's largest and most advanced smartphone glass production line.
And I'm pleased to announce that very soon, this is for the first time ever, every single new iPhone in every single iP new Apple watch sold anywhere in the world will contain cover glass made in Kentucky.
In addition to the American manufacturing program, we're also significantly growing our investments in AI, including expanding data center capacity in North Carolina, in Nevada, in Iowa, in Arizona, in Oregon.
So we're going to keep making investments right here in America.
We're going to keep hiring in America.
And we're going to keep building technologies at the heart of our products right here in America.
Because we're a proud American company, and we believe deeply in the promise of this great nation.
Thank you all and thank you President Trump for pulling or for putting American innovation and American jobs front and center Thank you, sir.
donald j trump
Thank you.
tim cook
Thank you.
donald j trump
What a job he's done.
What a job.
Incredible.
I want to thank you very much and Thank you JD for helping along.
Good job.
Really good job.
Any questions, please?
unidentified
Mr. President, Mr. President, you promised on the campaign trail to bring forth a manufacturing renaissance.
You just mentioned $17 trillion in your first seven months or so.
Can you talk about how an investment like this, all the other ones that you laid out, will positively impact the millions of Americans that trusted you with their vote.
donald j trump
Thank you very much.
It changes our country.
I mean, our country is a very different country than it was six months ago.
And people like Tim are coming.
We had Micron in yesterday.
unidentified
had all of the big, great companies that you read about, you don't know about, but you read about.
Many of them were...
donald j trump
Foolishly, we lost them.
If we had the right person sitting in that seat, that would have never happened 20 and 30 years ago.
When you look at the chip business, it would have never left our shores.
We had 100% of chips originally and then we slowly got taken down to nothing.
We have the biggest chip companies, both of them, but we have the biggest in the world coming in.
They go into Arizona and beyond.
And we're going to have in a short period of time, we'll be up to almost 50 percent of the chips from starting in nothing.
And that's something.
But we have the greatest companies in the world coming into our country and that means jobs.
And it means wealth, and wealth means security for our people.
Okay?
Mr. Bryan?
unidentified
Yes, sir.
Congratulations on this investment from President Trump.
donald j trump
Thank you, Bob.
unidentified
Good, great example of puttingting America first.
What does the labor force look like to fill these jobs that you have?
Do we have enough skilled American workers to fill these?
donald j trump
Well, we do have a lot of workers, and we have a lot of workers that hadn't been looking for work because they were disincentivized, frankly.
People like Tim have tremendous schools and training centers that they build along with a lot of their big plants where they train people on whether it's glass like in Kentucky or computers or whatever they might be doing.
It's a complex world and they train people and they do a great job.
So it's a whole new workforce.
Now we have a lot of them in energy because, you know, they've always liked energy.
As you know, coal has opened up and opened up big.
We brought it back and brought it back in a very large way.
You know, China is right now building 58 coal-fired plants, 58 big ones.
And here we were saying, we don't take coal.
We have more coal than anybody else in the world.
We have more oil and gas than anybody else in the world.
But we have tremendous energy jobs and the energy, as you know, we're booming with energy.
And that's why the gasoline prices are down.
The costs are down.
I just hope when they watch these shows, I watch this, I won't use names because I just make them better known that nobody knows who they are.
But I watched this group of people on CNN and MSDNC too, the same thing, where they say, well, costs have gone up.
Costs haven't gone up, they've gone down.
I'm telling you, the thing that's gone up is stock, stock prices and success of our country.
Our country is really, really doing well, successful.
Yes, ma'am.
unidentified
Yes, Mr. President.
Have President Lewandowski agreed to a summit yet?
And where and when would that be?
donald j trump
Well, there's a very good prospect that they will.
unidentified
And we haven't determined where, but we had some very good talks with President Putin today.
And there's a very good chance that we could be ending the round, ending the end of that road.
That road was long and continues to be long, but there's a good chance that there will be a meeting very soon.
Where do you think you are to a deal?
Excuse me?
How close do you think you are to some kind of deal?
Well, look, I don't want to say.
I've been disappointed before with this one.
You know, we've solved five wars, plus add to that Iran where we wiped out their nuclear capacity.
donald j trump
for weapons.
They would have had a weapon within two months, maybe less, and that was totally obliterated.
Turned out it was a total obliteration.
The pilots and the people that did that job are really we have the greatest we have the greatest armed forces in the world but that was really something.
In fact, there's a model of the plane right there.
You got to bring that up, Susie.
We have to see that.
Look at this.
This was just given to me.
You know, we ordered brand new B-2 bombers.
This is a plane that over a period of 36 hours of constant flying.
Look at this.
This is the brand new one they just ordered.
Similar but actually quite different.
It's an amazing machine.
It went 36 hours.
We had 52 tankers up in the air loading up our planes because this was surrounded by F-22s and F-35s, and it was flawless, Tim.
Even you would say it was flawless.
And every one of those bombs hit their target.
And then we had Tomahawks shot in from a submarine 300 miles away.
And they hit every single Tomahawk hit its target.
It was amazing.
And that was a big threat.
was a nuclear threat.
unidentified
And here's the new one that we just ordered a large number of them.
I'll put it there.
Mr. President.
Did Vladimir Putin make some kind of concession that he hasn't been willing to make before?
donald j trump
I don't call it a breakthrough.
I mean, we've been working on this a long time.
There are thousands of young people dying, mostly soldiers, but also, you know, missiles being hit into Kiev and other places.
But in terms of soldiers, I think Russia's lost over 20,000 since the beginning of the year.
20,000.
And I guess the estimate for Ukraine is about 9,000.
It's a terrible situation.
We want to get it stopped.
You know, we don't have American soldiers there, but I feel I have an obligation to get it stopped.
This was not my war.
This war would have never started, not even a chance.
And it didn't start for four years.
It went four years and didn't start.
But this is Biden's war.
This was on his watch.
And you know, it's funny.
We had no land was taken from Trump.
It was taken from Bush, it was taken from But it was, and it was taken by Obama.
Take a look at what was taken with all of the land that was taken.
Nothing was taken by Russia from us.
Not one ounce of land was taken.
I'm here to get the thing over with.
It would have never started if I were president, and we're here to get it stopped and get the death stopped.
Yeah, please.
unidentified
President Lepazzi said he would know if he was happening along.
Is everybody confident that he is already doing that this time around?
donald j trump
I can't answer the question yet.
I'll tell you in a matter of weeks, maybe less.
But we've made a lot of progress.
And as you know, we put a 50% tariff on India, on oil.
They're the second largest.
They're very close to China in terms of the purchase of oil from Russia.
So I don't know if that had anything to do with it.
But we've had very productive talks today.
Yes, ma'am.
unidentified
I'm federalizing DC.
Are you considering taking over the DC police?
Is that an option on the table?
donald j trump
We're considering it, yeah, because the crime is ridiculous.
I could show you a chart comparing DC to other locations, and you're not going to want to see what it looks like.
It was just up on television, actually.
They were showing it.
Now we want to have a great safe capital, and we're going to have it.
And that includes cleanliness and it includes other things.
We have a capital that's very unsafe..
You know, we just almost lost a young man, a beautiful, handsome guy that got the hell knocked out of him the night before last and I'm going to call him now.
We wanted to give him a little recovery time.
We just put a call into him.
They're calling back in a little while, but he went through a bad situation, to put it mildly, and there's too much of it.
We're going to do something about it.
So whether you call it federalized or what, and that also includes The graffiti that you see, the papers all over the place, the roads that are in bad shape, the medians that are falling down, the median in between roads that's falling down.
We're going to beautify this city.
We're going to make it beautiful.
And what a shame.
The rate of crime, the rate of muggings, killings, and everything else, we're not going to let it.
And that includes bringing in the National Guard, maybe very quickly too.
unidentified
And do you want the Congress to look at overturning the DC Home Rule Act?
donald j trump
We're going to look at that.
In fact, the lawyers are already studying it.
We have to run DC.
This has to be the best run place in the country, not the worst run place in the country.
And it has so much potential.
And we're going to take care of it.
You're going to be safe.
unidentified
You're going to be safe walking down streets you're not going to get mugged Mr. President if you do reach a deal with Ukraine and Russia would you drop the additional tariffs on India well we'll determine that later but right now they're paying a 50 tariff okay one for Mr. Cook as well on that yeah please the president wants a made in the USA iPhone what are the chances that you can actually make that happen Well,
tim cook
if you look at the bulk of it, we're doing a lot of the semiconductors here.
We're doing the glass here.
We're doing the face ID module here.
So there's a ton of it.
And we're doing these for products sold elsewhere in the world.
And so there's a lot of content in there from the United States.
unidentified
But what about the whole thing?
tim cook
We're very proud of it.
unidentified
Can you make it?
tim cook
The whole thing is just the final assembly that you're focused on.
And that will be elsewhere for a while.
donald j trump
He makes many of the components here.
And we've been talking about it.
And the whole thing is set up in other places.
And it's been there for a long time.
So in terms of cost and all.
But I think we may incentivize him enough that one day he'll be bringing that.
But he brings most of the stuff.
Look, he's not making this kind of an investment anywhere in the world not even close he's coming back i mean apple's coming back to america thank you president president indian officials indian officials let me let me go indian officials have said that there are other countries that are buying russian oil so okay like china for instance like the war why are you singling india out for these additional sanctions it's only been eight hours So let's see what happens over the next 10 secondary sanctions.
You're going to see a lot more.
tim cook
So this is a taste for you.
donald j trump
You're going to see a lot more.
You're going to see so much secondary sanctions.
Yes, ma'am.
unidentified
Sorry.
You were the driving force behind Operation Warp Speed, these mRNA vaccines that are the goal.
Now your health secretary is pulling back all the funding for research.
He's saying that the risks outweigh the benefits, which puts him at odds with the entire medical community and with you.
What is going on?
donald j trump
Research on what?
unidentified
Into mRNA vaccines.
donald j trump
Well, we're going to look at that.
We're talking about it, and they're doing a very good job.
And, you know, that is a pass.
Operation Warp Speed.
unidentified
Because whether you're Republican or Democrat, considered one of the most incredible things ever done in this country.
The efficiency, the way it was done, the distribution, everything about it has been amazing.
donald j trump
But we are speaking about it.
We have meetings about it tomorrow, actually tomorrow at 12 o'clock, and we'll determine.
We're looking for other answers to other problems, to other sicknesses and diseases, and I think we're doing really well.
Yes, Mr. President.
unidentified
You said many times that you want to stop wars in the Middle East.
Now, Prime Minister Netanyahu is contemplating re-occupying Gaza entirely.
Is he defying you, sir, or are you giving him a green light?
donald j trump
Well, we have stopped wars in the Middle East by stopping Iran from having a nuclear weapon and they are they're you know They can say they're going to start all over again, but that's a very dangerous thing for them to do because we'll be back.
As soon as they start, we'll be back.
And I think they understand that.
They're just words.
But no, we've stopped a lot of wars in the Middle East.
If you think about what we did with Iran, Iran was the perpetrator of hate.
a very evil place and I think it's going to be a lot different in the coming years.
unidentified
On the India penalty, do you have any similar plans to enact more tariffs on China?
Is it really going to happen?
Could happen.
donald j trump
Could happen.
Depends on how we do.
Coulduld happen.
unidentified
Thanks, Brian.
I have an entertainment-based question for you.
A few weeks ago, Stephen Colbert announced that he was leaving his show.
Howard Stern announced that he and Sirius XM Radio are parting ways.
Do you think the hate Trump business model that's been in the entertainment business is going out of business because it's not popular with the American people?
donald j trump
Well, it hasn't worked.
And it hasn't worked really for a long time.
And I would say pretty much from the beginning, Colbert has no talent.
I mean, I could take anyone here.
I could go outside in the beautiful streets and pick up a couple of people that do just as well or better.
They get higher ratings than he did.
He's got no talent.
Fallon has no talent.
Kimmel has no talent.
They're next.
They're going to be going.
I hear they're going to be going.
I don't know, but I would imagine because they'd get, you know, Colbert has better ratings than Kimmel or Fallon.
You know that.
Howard Stern, it's a name I haven't heard.
I used to do a show, used to have fun, but I haven't heard that name in a long time.
What happened?
He got terminated?
unidentified
Yeah, they're in a separate way.
I think what they're offering salary-wise is real low than what he's getting.
donald j trump
You know when he went down?
unidentified
Whenever he went.
donald j trump
You know when he went down?
No.
Before.
When he endorsed Hillary Clinton, he lost his audience.
People said, give me a break.
He went down when he endorsed Hillary Clinton.
unidentified
Mr. President, are you interviewing Fed candidates yet?
donald j trump
Yeah, we've started the interviewing process.
Scott and I and Howard, a lot of people, JD, we're all, we have some great candidates.
It's probably down to three.
He doesn't want the job.
He said, do you like this job better?
unidentified
Yes, sir.
donald j trump
I mean, he's a candidate, but I don't think he'll take it.
I really don't think he'd take it, actually.
unidentified
Are you a candidate from Wall Street, Mr. President?
Yeah.
donald j trump
Essentially, we're all from Wall Street, aren't we?
You know, when you get right down.
to it, the term Wall Street.
Yeah, please.
unidentified
Yeah.
You made your tax cuts permanent.
You mentioned that the tariffs are bringing in a ton of external revenue.
You've opened up markets, the EU, Japan, South Korea, and many others to American goods that we've never seen before.
How much growth can we expect in the economy now that this model of yours is kind of beginning to really take off?
donald j trump
Well, I think the growth is going to be unprecedented.
I think we're going to have growth that's unbelievable.
Now remember, we're building and just starting to build a lot of these incredible plants.
We talked about the electric facilities that we're building, the generating plants, electric generating plants are massive and they're going to be great and they're going to sell excess electricity into our grid so we're going to be having much more electricity than we ever had and those plants are going to be taken care of individually I know Tim is building one in one of his big factories but especially for AI because it needs so much electricity so I appreciate the question very much and I think the growth is going to be unprecedented.
unidentified
Mr. President, have you ever been called again?
Has the mayor of New York City spoken to Andrew Cuomo?
donald j trump
I haven't.
No, I haven't.
unidentified
Mr. President, have you been briefed on what Ghislaine Maxwell told Todd Blanche?
donald j trump
No, I haven't.
unidentified
I don't know whether it came up in the past.
donald j trump
I know Todd is a very respected person all over the country, all over the world legally, so I don't know.
Yeah, please go ahead.
We're probably going to go with a temp and then a permanent, I think.
So the temp is going to be named, I'd say, over the next two, three days, and then we're gonna go permanent.
unidentified
Are the two Kevins the leading contenders for the permanent spot for the chair?
donald j trump
The two Kevins?
The two Kevins are absolutely.
They're both very good.
owen shroyer
Mr. President.
donald j trump
The two Kevins, very good.
unidentified
Mr. President, is Vice President Vance hosting a gathering this evening to talk about how to respond to the vaccine situation?
donald j trump
Is he working on what?
unidentified
Is he hosting some kind of gathering of top advisors this evening to talk about how to respond to the Epstein situation?
donald j trump
I don't know.
I could ask you that question.
I don't know of it, but I think here's the man, right?
unidentified
I saw a reporter today, and it's completely fake news.
We're not meeting to talk about the Epstein situation, and I think the reporter who reported it needs to get better sources.
donald j trump
Look, the whole thing is a hoax.
It's put out by the Democrats because we've had the most successful six months in history.
owen shroyer
This was such a great press conference, and now you're going to do this.
Good God.
donald j trump
to something that's total bullshit.
unidentified
Okay?
Yeah, please.
Good Lord.
Elon Musk is the most unpopular public figure in the country right now.
I'm wondering, do you miss having him around the White House or is that all accurate?
donald j trump
I don't know if the poll's accurate.
I think he's a good person.
I think he had a bad moment, really bad moment, but he's a good person.
unidentified
I believe that.
President Trump, are you keeping that 10-12 day deadline?
China's a potential secondary sanction for the person of Russian oil.
Them having that tariff, or sanction rather, or not hinges on what going forward.
It may happen.
I mean, I don't know.
I can't tell you yet, but we did it with.
donald j trump
We're doing it probably with a couple of others.
One of them could be China, yes.
unidentified
Are you keeping that 10 to 12 day deadline that you have given Russia after today's talks?
donald j trump
Yeah, we're pretty much getting close to it right now.
But we're having very serious talks right now about getting out of Ukraine, getting it settled, getting it ended.
Should have never started, would have never started.
If I were president, it would have never started.
I want to thank Tim Cook.
He's a great, great man, a visionary, a businessman, just about every quality he can have other than athleticism.
I don't know, but I'm looking at him.
I'm not I'm not one hundred percent sure about you.
owen shroyer
a good athlete i bet you're pretty good i think he's good at everything but i want to thank you very much tim congratulations thank you all very much thank you really good at pitching and catching other than that all right all right uh you know that was that was really everything was going really good and then he calls the epstein thing a hoax it's just roll your eyes all right whatever so aside from that that's this is what we need we need economic press conferences.
We need.
Now, I'm not going to sit here and get into it.
Prices are down and all that stuff.
They're not.
I mean, compared to the Biden.
administration, okay, you're doing better on the economy than Biden.
But no, the cost of living is still up.
Americans are still struggling financially.
That's not your fault, Trump.
But let's not, let's not gaslight people here and pretend like the grocery store bill and energy bills aren't extremely high.
Okay.
So let's just get everything right.
But other than that, that's the type of stuff.
People are sick of hearing about Middle East issues.
They, they want to hear about how we're going to fix the economy.
That's what they want to hear about.
And we want to hear about how we're going to clean up our cities.
We want to hear about how we're going to get young Americans to invest and believe in the future of America again.
That's what we want to hear about.
So overall, I'd say that was good, but had to just give us a little Epstein hoax jab just to really, just, you know, just to put a little poop on it.
All right, we're into the third hour here of the Infowars war room.
And you just heard about an hour there from President Trump at a press conference with a big announcement from Apple and then kind of getting into some economic news there as well, but then taking questions from the press.
So it got a little bit wide-ranging.
Overall, I'd say a good press conference, directionally right with some hiccups here and there.
But I suppose I get it.
Trump trying to build confidence, even if it's saying something that might not be totally true.
But we're going to move on from that.
We're about to get into a big issue with Taylor Lorenz, who's been on before.
And I mean, I guess I would argue that, I guess I would say that maybe she was right about this.
It wasn't that we were even having a debate, but she's really been covering the issue about AI being rolled out and what it means for the internet.
And where I was kind of like, well, you know, I think it's just for the adult content.
She said, no, it's going to get worse.
Well, she's kind of been proven right, specifically if we're talking about what is going on in the UK right now.
So we'll be joined by her in a second., folks, remember the VIP sale is still live right now at the alexjonestore dot com, but it's only for VIPs but you can become a member and take advantage of this sale right now.

We thank our VIP members.
It's your support there that keeps us on the air.
So take advantage of that.
It will come to an end.
I'm told tomorrow.
I'm told tomorrow is the final day to take advantage of that.
All right.
Before we do bring the guest on, a couple of other things to cover here.
You heard President Trump mention this at the outset of that press conference, five soldiers shot at Fort Stewart in Georgia, shooter is in custody.
They have identified the shooter.
He is in custody.
You also had this situation that I didn't really hear about, but the crew brought me the headline.
Another armed civilian saves the day.
Oh, well, maybe that's why they don't want to cover it.
A stabbing at a Michigan Walmart on Saturday was stopped by an armed man, a Marine veteran.
Now this is what's crazy about it.
It's like sometimes you make a mistake and then it ends up being for a reason that you didn't even realize.
So the Marine veteran, uh, veteran who's armed.
He went to the shooting range, but he forgot to take his pistol off his hip.
Maybe some other people are familiar with that.
You're carrying and you go to the grocery store and then you're like, oh, oh, I forgot I had it.
The New York Times, Associated Press, Washington Post, NPR, NBC News and BBC and many others completely ignored the gun used to stop the attack, but an eyewitness described how others who had tried to stop the attacker were stabbed, but it took the Marine with a gun to stop the attack.
The attack was stopped several minutes before the first responders were able to arrive.
Yeah, that's always how it goes.
One thought is that this hero might get some coverage in the legacy media because he is a black marine veteran while the attacker was a crazed white lunatic.
And yet I didn't see this anywhere when I was doing my news aggregation today.
I didn't see it anywhere until the crew brought this to me.
But aside from, you know, whatever racial aspects people want to be, it's, it's, there's this kind of idea around an armed, an armed civilian or just Americans walking around with guns.
And it's like, it's, it's like a bad image.
And it's like, oh, it's like a fearful thing.
And it used to be a norm in America.
And actually, you had a lot less crime..
And so this is an example where, yes, a good guy with a gun is really the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun because the first responders are going to take time to get there.
Okay.
And that's just a fact.
And if this guy wouldn't have accidentally had his gun on him in that Walmart, thank God he did, who knows how bad this situation could have gotten.
So this is why armed civilians that know how to use their guns, not just lunatics that carry around, but can end up stopping a crime scene from getting much worse.
So maybe that's really though.
I think that's probably why they don't want to cover it because it goes against the whole.
We need to be afraid of good guys with guns.
We need to be afraid of civilians with guns.
It's training you to think, oh, only a police officer should have a gun, not me.
I can't be trusted.
I'm a stupid citizen.
That's scary.
Actually, you know what?
I've decided with Taylor Lorenz, we're going to talk WNBA.
That's what we're going to do.
We're going to talk WNBA.
And I think actually, I think she's been going to the games.
I think that there's been some news.
I think Taylor might be behind this based off of the color of her shirt.
unidentified
All right.
owen shroyer
So about a month ago, we had Taylor Lorenz on to talk about a situation developing when it comes to.
internet regulations and specifically the internet ID laws where they kind of roll it out as they say the road to hell is paved with good intentions, but they roll it out and they say we need to do something about minors accessing adult content on the internet.
So we need this internet ID.
We need to pass regulations.
We need to pass laws.
There's been a little bit of it in the United States, but nothing compared to what has happened in the UK.
And now the citizens in the UK are saying, oh okay, yeah, sure.
Internet ID to access adult content.
Yeah, you know what?
That's fair.
We can we can support that.
And then it gets rolled out.
and what happens?
Oh, no, it's for YouTube.
It's for Wikipedia.
It's for social media.
It's for everything.
So Taylor, this was your concern when we talked about a month or so ago.
And now it seems like with the UK, they're going to really test this out.
And you know, a lot of times policies in the UK end up here.
So what can you tell us about how this rollout has gone in the UK?
taylor lorenz
The rollout has gone terribly.
It's an absolute disaster.
It's what every single person who cares about freedom of speech who has been advocating against this stuff was terrified of.
unidentified
And yeah, I mean, you're seeing everything from SpongeBob SquarePants GIFs be censored to people, adults having to scan their faces to use Spotify.
You can't even customize your like NVIDIA GPU chip or whatever, like to fix, basically to tweak graphics when you're playing a game like video game, because you have to present your government ID to do that now.
It's obscene.
It's horrifying.
And I think it's a taste of the type of authoritarianism that is coming to the US.
If we don't stop it.
Well, you know, like, like, like I said, there's a hint of it here, but most I would say like, I don't know, 99.9% of Americans obviously are not using a government ID to access adult websites.
I don't know if it's expanded anywhere farther than that.
Do you know what, what is it?
taylor lorenz
Owen, it is expanding rapidly here.
We just had the Supreme Court uphold age verification for the first time on the internet.
Eleven states have sought to pass these laws and more are trying to pass them.
We're lucky that there have been some challenges, some legal challenges, but the Kids Online Safety Act right now is in Congress.
They could act on it at any point.
It's very close to happening here.
This is something that both the Democrats and Republicans have been aligned on passing in the United States for years now.
We should be terrified.
I think the U.S., you know, the UK is just a glimpse into what will be our future if we don't start to fight back.
owen shroyer
Well, where, where, okay, so they've got this bill being passed and it's the same, it's the same premise that we saw in the UK.
But I haven't, I mean, I haven't experienced anything of this yet.
I know they do have them in Texas when it comes to adult websites.
I haven't experienced this yet.
So, where are they trying to roll this out?
Where will Americans, other than adult content sites, where will Americans maybe first start getting an idea of this?
taylor lorenz
Well, so this isn't passed yet, right?
Like, and, by the way, the law was passed in the OSA in the UK was passed back in 2023.
So they'll often pass these laws and then there's a period of time before they roll out again.
And why don't they try to roll out again?
Because it's incredibly expensive and difficult and unwholesome to roll out age verification and force to put that burden on all these platforms.
So what they're trying to do right now in America is pass these laws.
So we have Ohio, Arizona, Wyoming, Pennsylvania, New Jersey.
We have Louisiana in 2022 passed that landmark law requiring age verification for all websites that contain 33 percent adult content, which again, incredibly subjective term.
owen shroyer
Yeah, what does that even mean?
33 percent, I mean, I log in on the Daily Mail and I got, you know, half naked chicks on the sidebar.
Is that just what it means?
taylor lorenz
It means everything.
It means everything.
I mean, every when you think about it what adult content is, these incredibly broad, these languages, and they say like harmful content is another one.
What is harmful?
What is adult?
That's why you see stuff like these Alcoholics Anonymous forums are being shut down.
Actually, forums where children can get help if they're victims of sexual abuse or sexual assault are also being shut down, which is actually going to lead to more child exploitation because all this is adult content.
It's absurd.
News and information is adult content.
And if you don't think that this is bad under Trump, maybe you trust him as president, imagine until the person you hate is in office.
The Democrats will be back in office at some point.
Imagine Hillary Clinton, I don't know, maybe she comes back from the dead.
Like just imagine the worst.
owen shroyer
Hillary's dead.
I'm just kidding.
unidentified
I don't know.
owen shroyer
Politically, yeah.
taylor lorenz
Politically.
I'm just saying, imagine what, like, we need to legislate laws where where people need to think.
Imagine how the worst political leader that I could think of could weaponize this law, age verification, these laws are censorship laws.
We know this.
And the Democrats and Republicans, again, have been working together to pass this type of stuff.
We're seeing it first on the state level.
They're testing it out on the state level because they know, basically, if they can put these really restrictive state laws in place, you know, we don't have fiftyy different versions of Facebook and Twitter or whatever for every single state.
These platforms will just default to the most restrictive law.
So if Utah or Texas or Ohio or New Jersey or New York passes these laws, that is already going to put pressure on the platform, and we're already seeing censorship in Texas.
But it's devastating, and it's going to happen gradually, too, in America, I think, because of the state system.
I don't know.
We'll see if COSA passes any time soon.
But the time to fight these laws is now, before they have passed.
Once we see what happens in the UK, it's going to be too late.
They're not the government never dismantles surveillance infrastructure once they've rolled it out.
owen shroyer
Well, and of course, this even goes beyond this when we start talking about the the entire AI grid that's being set up for surveillance, but but I suppose that's, you know, maybe that's down the road.
You know, here when I when I hear this and it's all interconnected.
It will be for sure.
When I when I hear this and I think about this, I say, okay, well, was there a problem here, right?
I mean, what, what, was there a problem that we're trying to address?
Like, was there a big issue with kids on the internet?
Because, I mean, I'm sure, I'm sure it was happening, but it's like, I didn't hear any outcry.
It's kind of like, if I go when, when you're a kid, you're, you're fifteen, sixteen, whatever, you want to go to the movies, you have to sneak into an R-rated movie, right?
They're not going to sell you the t the ticket, they're going to ask for your ID.
So you, so you, you'd have to sneak in.
But it's like, okay, a kid can hopp on Amazon and and and watch any movie they want.
Nobody's complaining about that, right?
I mean, that's that's the parents' issue if they want to deal with that in a way that they feel fit.
So it's like, where does this go?
You always have to think, so like, now, are you going to have to have a, are you going to have to have a digital ID to access your streaming platform?
Are you going to have to show, are you going to have to show a face scan to go watch a R-rated movie in your house?
taylor lorenz
Yes, yes, yes.
That's what we're already seeing in the UK.
Yes, you will have to verify your identity basically everywhere.
This is the goal is to make to completely remove anonymity from the web and basically set up all of these age verification systems to tie all your online behavior to your offline identity.
And as you mentioned, this is just being fed into this massive surveillance system.
Let's not forget that Persona, one of the leading age verification, you know, third party tools is a Peter Thiel backed tool that is, you know, owned by a bunch of Silicon Valley tech billionaires.
Like this is a gift to the worst people in big tech.
And I think that if you're worried about big tech surveillance or censorship, you should have serious.
concerns.
Also, again, just civil liberties.
We should have the right to anonymously use the internet.
I don't want the government peering over my shoulder knowing every single song I listen to on Spotify or every single article I read on Wikipedia, because that data can then be used or fed into AI algorithmic systems that to kind of determine whether you are likely to commit a crime or they can use it to track you if you do the wrong thing.
We all should protect our civil liberties.
We never know when the government can come for us.
We're seeing authoritarianism.
And I just, I want to stress that this is a bipartisan issue.
Both the Democrats and Republicans have been pushing this, apart from Rand Paul, Ron Wyden and a few people.
You know, we've got Richard Blumenthal, Mark Warner, Nancy Pelosi, you know, and then Marcia Blackburn on the Republican side and a lot of people.
This is something that all these people in power want because they want to control speech online.
They want to eliminate independent media, they want to eliminate free expression online, and they want to have top-down control where you are fed essentially a stream of government, you know, government approved messaging, and you cannot dissent.
owen shroyer
Yeah, this leads to censorship.
And if you think about what we've witnessed in say the last ten, maybe twenty years.
You used to have four major news networks that could totally control the narrative, totally control what you see, what you don't see.
Now with social media, this paradigm has shifted entirely.
The networks cannot control what you see.
They cannot control a narrative.
One of the big issues right now that we see a major fight to try to control the narrative on is what's going on in the Gaza Strip.
And so you see IDF people trying to get into all these different social media companies to try to shut down anyone sharing any material from Gaza.
So it's beyond just the IDF trying to stop the journalists from filming.
Once the material gets out, now they're on the back end trying to stop it there too.
Now, I'm a big believer in the free market, meaning I believe the free market can correct some of this stuff.
It's not a perfect practice, but it at least allows you the opportunity where I see they keep putting the story.
I think you mentioned how in UK people are deleting their Spotify because they have to show, uh, it's like a face scan or something.
So what I'm saying is it's like if I have an app that I like to use or if I have a streaming service I like to use and then all of a sudden they're saying we need to see government ID, we need to do a face scan.
I'm going to say I don't like this.
This is an invasion of privacy.
I'm going to cancel my account.
I'm going to go elsewhere.
I'm going to take I'm going to take my streaming business elsewhere.
I'm going to take my social media business elsewhere.
But if they sign this bill, then that, then there's no free market anymore.
taylor lorenz
And, and it's even less.
of a free market because these massive tech platforms like Meta, Spotify, it's YouTube, they have the resources to do all this mass data harvesting and implement these really costly age verification systems.
But the penalty for not complying with these age verification systems is quite high, and so it will just eliminate so many small communities on the web, so many independent forums, websites, community groups.
Again, like I mentioned, these Alcoholics Anonymous groups, these groups for children seeking, you know, underage kids seeking support because they're being sexually abused.
Those smaller groups, those smaller forums, those smaller indie apps, upstart apps, will not have the money to basically comply with the law.
And so this is just another gift to these big tech conglomerates because they will just have more and more monopoly.
And if you're worried about gatekeepers over our information environment, I think it's wonderful that we don't have the information environment that we had in the nineties where we just had like four, you know, broadcasters or whatever.
But we do have a, you know, I don't know if it's a monopoly, but we certainly have these major tech platforms that do, I think, have excessive control over speech.
And we've seen the way they censor.
You mentioned Gaza and other things, basically anything that goes against sort of government narratives.
And that is happening on Meta still.
It's still happening across TikTok.
The reason that they were able to get the TikTok ban through was because of the Gaza stuff.
So yeah, we just need to be concerned.
We need to be concerned about the old gatekeepers and we need to be concerned about the new gatekeepers and we need to preserve a free and open internet for everyone.
We need people to get involved.
Nobody's fighting back against these laws.
owen shroyer
Well, I can already think of parents that might support this and they'll say, well, and really it's it does, for me, fall on the parents.
If you don't want your kids watching certain stuff that that's the parents' responsibility.
And it's like, that's not the government's job to come in here and do that.
And you say, Oh, well, you know, parenting is so difficult now.
Shut up.
1000 years ago, you had to protect your kid from getting mauled by an animal or picking up a disease or something.
Let's okay, let's stop acting like that's such a difficult thing to just try to monitor your kids' activities on the internet.
Like, you know, but I can already hear that.
Oh, they're going to use the angle of, Oh, it's so hard with parenting on the internet.
Oh my gosh.
I can already hear it in my ears when they try to pitch this stuff to the American people.
But apart from that, what is the actual process here?
I've had, um, I've had people that have come that have tried to come visit me and they have not been able to get get on a plane because they don't have the new real ID.
They're actually enforcing that now at the airports.
Well, okay, good luck.
Good luck at the DMV.
You're not even going to be able to get your real ID for weeks.
So it's like, that's something that's like old tech, and we can't even have a fast delivery system on a requirement with a real ID.
What is the process like for this digital ID?
What is the, what are you, what hoops do you have to go through to even get the official thing to access this stuff?
taylor lorenz
Well, it's going to be a patchwork of things.
So, you know, there might be some more official things, like they're talking about doing it on the device level.
And then some, you know, there's so many different types of proposals.
I mentioned Persona, there are all these third party tools that are going to be like, okay, you sign up for this third party and this third party tool.
The point is that you're just exposing more and more and more and more of your data to systems that undeniably will not be able to keep that data safe.
We know that this data gets hacked, stolen.
If you're worried about foreign governments taking our data, like that, they're going to have unlimited access to it basically because these, these are not going to be secure systems.
Um, and you're going to be at high risk of identity theft, all that stuff.
You know, you mentioned the airport and airports, I made a video about this recently, have become really draconian around speech.
Like we're seeing people stop at the border for speech.
Obviously, you have to scan your face now.
Now most people don't realize that you can opt out.
93% of People don't ever even ask to opt out when you're going through the check.
You don't have to scan your face if you don't want to.
You can still give them your ID.
A lot of Congress people have tried to make that impossible.
So I just encourage people to express their civil liberties and stand up for themselves.
But yeah, we'll see kind of how it manifests, but it's going to be this messy patchwork of different verification methods, like face scanning, biometric data, importing your driver's license, all of this for kids that don't have driver's license, they'll probably have to prove it otherwise.
We're already seeing disasters, by the way, where people with face tattoos, you know, it's messing up.
The AI systems aren't accurately able to guess people's ages because again, like some people look really young at thirty.
Some people look really old at thirty.
No one looks like there's no standard way that like a sixteen year old looks different than a nineteen year old, necessarily.
And so it's it's just or a seventeen year old looks, you know, remarkably different from a eighteen year old.
So it's the whole thing is just going to be a complete mess.
And I just want to say one thing too about what you said about parents.
I think what parents need to know is that nothing of this is going to keep your kids safer.
Kids, we know kids.
They're very tech savvy.
unidentified
Okay.
taylor lorenz
If your kid wants to access porn, they're going to find a way to do that.
We know this happens.
What they will probably do is download some sort of VPN or honestly end up in very dark, dark corners of the dark web or whatever that refuse to, you know, abide by these laws that are based outside of America, you know, America, who knows, but it's going to lead to even more like dangerous corners of the internet.
Then none of this is going to protect them.
owen shroyer
Yeah, see, that's why I just look at the free market and there's kind of been other things like this where mobile phone companies will come up with new creative ways where you can give a kid a cell phone, but it's very limited.
You know, you can only make a call to certain numbers.
It doesn't have any apps or anything.
It's just, you know, a basic phone that they can have for safety or whatever.
I've seen other similar things where they can can give a kid like a debit card, but they can earmark it so that they can only spend it at certain places.
So that's how the free market can kind of adapt to this stuff.
And you can have protocols on the internet or phones if you want to have your kids access to that stuff to try to protect them.
But yeah, you know, obviously, I mean, we both look very young for our age, Taylor, right?
So, you know, that might be we could maybe we could maybe deceive AI with that issue.
So what, but okay, but what comes next for Americans?
Where, where do we need to kind of have our antennas up here?
And when another, a new move happens where we can say, okay, this is starting to get into a level of it's time to have a reaction here.
taylor lorenz
Yeah.
Well, like I said, fight at the state level and the federal level.
So if you are, you can check, oh gosh, I think the Electronic Frontier Foundation has a place where you can check the different states.
But here's what you should do.
Call your local representative, call your congressman, call your senator, call your representative in the House and say, listen, I don't want age verification here.
I don't want surveillance tech.
Do not pass the Kids Online Safety Act.
Do not pass these censorship laws.
We want to preserve a free and open internet for all.
You cannot pass these laws.
They are incredibly dangerous.
And we need people to start activating.
There's FIRE, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Freedom, which is a great organization organization, bipartisan.
They're nonpartisan, rather.
They back people on all sides of the political spectrum.
They've been doing great work.
You can donate to organizations like that or the EFF.
But I think call your representatives, call your representatives and make your voices heard and tell them to stand up for freedom of speech, stand up for civil liberties.
No one on the left or the right is doing this, and we just need people to start getting involved.
This stuff that's happening in the UK, that's the tip of the iceberg of what could happen here.
It's really scary.
And we're already, again, seeing these state censorship laws move forward.
unidentified
So I would, you know, if you're in one of those states, there's like I said, there's 11 different states, you know, that are currently seeking to pass these laws.
So, you know, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, New York, Illinois.
These are all some of the places that that are starting to pass these laws.
Well, when I saw that stuff out of the UK, I obviously I sent you the message and I said, hey, let's come on and address this because I know that you've been all over this for years.
And so, yeah, we can both agree with this, that it's a nonpartisan thing.
I think it's a freedom thing.
I think it's a freedom thing.
And I think it's it's an issue for the future of humanity, because, look, I don't like it.
But it's just the fact we're going into an A.I. technological world where there's nothing I can do to stop it.
owen shroyer
I can bitch and complain and and kick and scream.
I can become Amish, but that's where it's going.
And so we have to consider that that's the future.
And these are the certain, these are the parameters, these are the borders that they're trying to set up with us now before we go into that and can really understand what it means.
So it's very important stuff for us to remain left, right, anyone that's freedom-oriented to remain on top of this.
Okay, with the final couple of minutes we have left here, I'm going to get a little, I'll loosen up a little, cover some other things.
I have a sneaking suspicion that you've been attending WNBA games, Taylor, and that you've been lobbying purchases that you've made from Rabbi Shmuley's online store with his daughter onto the WNBA court.
Can you deny this activity?
Have you been seeing this??
Is that you?
taylor lorenz
I don't even know what's happening.
Who's watching this?
owen shroyer
You're not following the WNBA?
taylor lorenz
I'm not as well.
owen shroyer
Wow.
What kind of feminist are you?
taylor lorenz
I know.
owen shroyer
No wonder they can't make any money, Taylor.
You're not even watching their games.
taylor lorenz
What's happening at the games?
What are people doing?
owen shroyer
So it's a fourth time actually, I think the WNBA is doing this as a stunt, but that's my conspiracy theory.
People are throwing dildos onto WNBA courts now.
They're lobbying.
Lime green is the color of choice.
I don't know what's up with that.
So it's, hey, you know what?
They're finally having fun.
People are finally talking about the WNBA.
That's not yours.
taylor lorenz
I'm surprised people don't throw more things onto the court in regular basketball games because people are Americans aren't that uncouth.
I don't know.
People are crazy.
Have you been to a concert lately?
People throw shit on the stage all the time.
owen shroyer
Yeah, but that's kind of fun.
That's like nineties when it used to be cool to do that stuff.
taylor lorenz
Yeah, yeah.
owen shroyer
Well, now they now they give you like a little paper cup and they tell you so you can't throw stuff at and that's fine.
We want to protect people's safety.
No, I just think it's funny that the WNBA they try it's like no matter how hard they try to be a serious organization, it just the harder they try to be ser serious, the bigger of a joke it becomes.
taylor lorenz
I think they should.
They should lean well, first of all, I, yeah, I mean, I guess maybe as a publicity sent, but there's some, there's some good, was it Angel Reese?
Isn't she the other one?
There's some good female basketball players out there.
owen shroyer
No, stop it.
taylor lorenz
No, I mean, I don't watch basketball, but.
owen shroyer
Well, you just proved it with what you just said.
Well, Sophie Cunningham is making fun of it.
She said, she said a week ago, she said, Stop throwing dildos on the court.
You're going to hurt one of us.
And last night, she was literally hit by one.
It hit her.
She was the one that got hit by it.
Funny enough, I think the WNBA is doing this for attention though.
That's what I think.
That's my conspiracy theory of the day.
taylor lorenz
Okay, that would be pretty big brain.
I don't know, but.
owen shroyer
All right, last one, last one for you here.
Smoothie King, everyone knows Smoothie King.
Smoothie King is releasing a ketchup flavored smoothie.
Are you going to have a ketchup flavored smoothie?
taylor lorenz
Okay, there's too much of these custom flavors.
I think we need to stop with this because they also rolled out.
I saw a ice cream chain rolled out breast milk flavored ice cream this week.
owen shroyer
It's not even real breast milk, damn it.
taylor lorenz
That is, no, too many flavors.
Let's get, we had chocolate, vanilla, strawberry., let's stick to that.
Those are all we need.
owen shroyer
I saw that.
I saw that they were doing the breast milk and I was like, Ooh, real breast milk?
And then I found out it wasn't even real breast milk, Taylor.
unidentified
So.
taylor lorenz
Ugh.
Can't even get the organ.
RFK, where is he on the list?
owen shroyer
I know.
Not as excited.
Okay, so no Heinz tomato ketchup smoothie.
taylor lorenz
That looks disgusting.
owen shroyer
I can't.
I don't know who would stand up for that.
I really don't.
taylor lorenz
It's not going to be you.
owen shroyer
It's not going to be me.
Okay, Taylor, where can people follow you?
taylor lorenz
Follow my YouTube channel.
I have a series every Friday called Free Speech Friday where I talk about freedom of speech and free expression.
Thank you for listening to me.
I'm sure there are people that do not agree with me on a lot of things politically, but I hope that we can all agree that, you know, the thing that makes America great is the First Amendment and free expression, the right to free expression, and we have to fight to protect a free and open Internet.
owen shroyer
Well said.
Final segment here of the Infowars war room.
We got a lot of news yet to cover.
Let me get into this geopolitical stack first.
So you've got a bit of a split here on the Israel issue.
And I think, you know a a pack is such a it's going to become a burden politically soon and it's it's so overexposed now and it has such a negative connotation now that there's no going back from it and they're so out front with it too uh bragging about everything that they do and all the people that they pay off in congress so it's it's kind of like they're leaning into it strange tactic it's not working for them but
the democrats are trying to at least pretend like they're trying to stop what's going on there Senate Democrats seek to reimpose sanction on Israel.
So they're trying to have sanctions on Israel for what's going on in the Gaza Strip.
But it's kind of like this political activity when you know you can't actually get it done because you don't have the numbers.
So you pretend like you care for political points, even though you know you're going to fall short, just so you can at least pretend like you had an effort and then you can run on something like that.
So it's most likely, maybe it's a mixture of that they do really care, but they also just want to score political, please.
But no, you had the Republicans, dozens of APAC Republicans in Israel.
Oh, yes.
being briefed by Netanyahu.
Netanyahu briefs visiting members of US Congress on Gaza War.
So no, they're not in Qatar.
No, they are in Israel.
Prime Minister.
Benjamin Netanyahu met earlier today with a bipartisan delegation from the United States House Intelligence Committee.
The Prime Minister's office says in a statement, I've got the statement right here with all the images of Netanyahu addressing them.
Oh, but it wasn't just most.
It wasn't just Netanyahu.
Mossad chief David Bernaya and US Congressman Rick Crawford, Josh Geitenheimer and Ronnie Jackson were also present at the meeting.
So you got Mossad there as well.
unidentified
Yeah.
owen shroyer
Yeah.
No big deal.
Just got Mossad and Maxwell and Epstein and now APAC members going and getting briefed by Mossad.
Totally normal stuff.
Nothing to see here.
here those damn Qataris.
Now it would appear and I just think it's deductive reasoning, but you have Yosef Janowski at the Israeli Times who seems to have reached the same conclusion I've reached on why you have this Epstein drip, drip, drip.
Now he's obviously a pro-Israel writer, so he looks at it as a good thing, whereas really if you're an American and you see this stranglehold Israel has, you look at it as a bad thing, but he's obviously celebrating it.
He's saying, oh, this is great.
Look at how much control America has.
It's a short little piece here here.
Trump, Israel, and the Epstein Files.
Trump and his administration criticized Netanyahu and Israel.
And now the Epstein Files are haunting him.
For a long time, the files had subsided in the background.
They weren't considered to be much of a threat to Trump.
But all of a sudden, right after he started up with Israel, the files surfaced, and they seemed to be overwhelming him.
Trump blasted BB after shrapnel hit a church in Gaza.
Shrapnel.
They blew the church up.
Give me a break.
The church is in a war zone.
It was not targeted.
Rather, shrapnel from a nearby explosion hit it.
Nice.
Still, Trump berated Bibi and demanded that he publicly express regret after Israel bombed places in Syria in order to protect the Druze.
Administration officials from the White House referred to Bibi as a madman.
It seemed that Trump's ambitions are even more important to him than preventing the slaughter of Druze.
Actually, that's what you would say about Netanyahu, more important to him than stopping Israeli Druze from crossing into Syria, something that would greatly escalate fighting and bloodshed.
Yeah, um, that's not an American problem.
You see, that's the issue is this is America.
You're talking about Israel and Syria.
Uh, last I checked they're not in America.
So, hmm, not sure why that should be a Trump issue anyway.
Huckabee also chimed in blasting Israel for holding visas from evangelical groups.
Well, yeah, because he doesn't want them to be killed by Israel.
It seems that Israel wants to first ensure that the groups don't plan to missionize.
Oh, well, you're not allowed to, I guess, missionize Christianity.
That's not what I was told though, but Huckabee seems incentive to Israel's concerns.
I may want to reword that Trump decided to bomb Iran's nuclear sites and that's commendable, but reports later surfaced that he rejected the option to bomb for a week's time in order to finish off all the sites.
So only Forda was severely damaged while other sites only minimal or no damage.
So here he is promoting, oh, you didn't really damage him, because of course we know why.
And now some old files are threatening him.
Perhaps Trump will realize that it really doesn't pay to start up with Israel.
Perhaps those implicated in the files will express contrition and regret.
Oh, so in other words, Israel has the blackmail on you, so do what Israel wants or else from the Israeli Times, not even hiding it, bragging about it.
And why wouldn't they?
Why wouldn't APAC brag about how they control our Congress?
Why wouldn't Israel brag about how they control our foreign policy.
Good for them.
Embarrassing for us.
Sad for us.
Pathetic for us.
But good for them.
And they just rub it in your face.
They publish it in the Israeli Times.
But I agree.
I've been I've been I've been saying it for weeks.
They're doing this slow drip drip drip because they're trying to get something out of Trump in the Middle East.
So maybe it's regime change in Iran.
Maybe it's something else.
But I think he's I do think he's holding it off right now.
So they're going to continue finding old videos and photos.
That's what this all is, folks.
they would have done this a long time ago if it was about something else they're doing it all now strategically to go after Trump it's not the democrats it is not the democrats this is a foreign intelligence operation against Trump and it's funny to listen to the entitlement from these Israelis like no Because I see people all the time,
oh, no, you've got the power dynamics wrong here.
America controls Israel, not the other way around.
But you go, you go read Israeli press, you follow Israeli news.
I mean, they literally brag about how they control us folks.
Like, that's what's so hilarious.
APAC brags about how they control our Congress.
I mean, Trump used to talk about it on radio shows.
He said, Yeah, Israel controls our politics.
It's like an open secret.
So, yeah, they're sitting here publishing these stories like, Yeah, you work for us, we have the blackmail on all of you.
You will do our bidding.
And if you don't, you will reap the consequences.
And yet I still can't find America on the map in the Middle East.
And I still can't find the Middle East anywhere in America.
And yet somehow the Israelis believe they're entitled to just have the full force of our government and our military.
behind them.
This is why a divorce is necessary from Israel.
And this is why a decoupling entirely from the Middle East is the only answer.
Now, meanwhile, crowds gather around aid trucks in Gaza as food shortages persist and more people going for aid are getting shot and killed.
Senior IDF General admits to disagreements among top officials on Gaza approach.
We've been telling you this for a long time, but it's it's now all out in the public.
It's not so good.
That's how you know it's bad folks.
Because there's there's fighting internally.
with military and diplomats in Israel.
They're like, hey, you know what?
Maybe we agree on what needs to be done here.
Maybe we both have hatred for the Hamas, the Gazans, whatever.
But at a certain point, you kind of realize you've gone too far.
And I think that's the realization.
But Netanyahu doesn't care.
He's got the agenda.
He wants his legacy to be that he conquered.
the Gaza Strip and gave it to Israel.
That's all he cares about.
The bloodshed, I guess what it does for Israel's in the worldview, I guess he doesn't care or think about or assume he can whitewash it.
Senior IDF general appears to admit disagreements among top military brass on approach in Gaza.
Now, this is the Orthodox Jews.
Senior Haredi leader threatens global struggle like never before over IDF draft.
So they're trying to draft the Orthodox Jews now, which was never the policy until now.
And I guess that's just because they're getting ready to force everybody into this war.
Or maybe it's punishment because the Orthodox Jews haven't been so supportive of this war.
But either way, that's going to take a major turn.
And it appears that at least some groups over there, the Haredi and others, are saying, okay, you're going to try to do this to us.
We're going to give you a little bit of a political problem too.
And Netanyahu knows that.
Meanwhile, in Iran, Iran executes a man accused of spying for Israel and another planning ISIS group sabotage.
So you gotta wonder how Iran let their guard down so much to get penetrated by all these Israeli spies and ISIS groups, which are just proxy groups of the CIA and Assad and everything else.
unidentified
But they learned it the hard way.
I mean, folks, you get into these stories.
These spies were in the top level of, they had access to the top level of Iranian intelligence, Iranian government, Iranian military.
owen shroyer
It's like, well, gee, how was Israel able to do those precise strikes?
Because their spies were so deep into the Iranian network that they literally could get their geolocation and they shared it with the Israeli military.
And that's how they did the precise strikes.
So Iran is on it now and they've executed quite a few people for spying.
And Tom Cotton wants to remind you where he stands.
He's one of the biggest Israel ball-lickers there is, which is too bad because other than the other than the Israel stuff, Tom Cotton is pretty good.
But then he reminds you he works for a foreign country and this just throws everything else out.
European leaders should not reward Hamas with the prospect of recognizing a so-called Palestinian state.
Oh my gosh.
Palestine was a state before Israel.
That is a historic fact.
And you can go find Bibles that were published in the early 1900s and they have Palestine on the map and there is no Israel.
These were in the Bibles.
The pressure should be put on Hamas until all of the hostages are returned and Hamas is completely defeated.
Now here's the problem that I think think they're going to have with Hamas.
Obviously, these people are willing to die.
Okay.
And it's we're not we're not just talking about radical Islamic Jihad, but specifically with Hamas.
Obviously, these people are willing to die for the cause more so than the Israelis.
The Israelis don't want to die for the cause.
They're not going in boots in the ground.
They're not going into the tunnels.
They're they're just leveling everything from above preserving Israeli life.
Hamas fighters are willing to die.
And so I would say Hamas probably now looks at this and says, We're winning.
We're winning because we might die, but now the whole world is going to turn against Israel.
And in case you haven't noticed, folks, these two groups have nothing but hatred.
They have nothing but hatred, they they both just want death on the other side.
That's all they want.
They just want death and destruction against their enemy.
They are filled with hatred and now you see it in American politics.
It's really upsetting to see, but you see it in American politics as well with people in media that I even like and respect, consider friends, but you see the hatred they have in their heart and it's sad it's really ugly it's really nasty it's really sad but you see it so yeah hamas is probably sitting here like well yeah hundreds of thousands of us are going to die and uh who knows what else the idf might do to us if they capture us you know they're raping people everything else and so it's just a disgusting it's just the
whole thing is disgusting that's why i don't want anything to do with any of them That's why we're also sick of being involved.
But, you know, Hamas is probably looking at this and saying, hey, you know, the whole world is turning against Israel.
So they might kill us, but in the process, they'rere killing themselves.
And I think that they've kind of had that realization now.
So they don't really turning over the hostages at this point.
They're just like, whatever.
It doesn't even matter.
Because now the whole world is turning against Israel and it doesn't even matter what we do, because that's that's who everybody's watching and that's that's who's getting all the support in America.
So I I don't know how this deal ends, but it looks like it ends with Israel taking the Gaza Strip at a at a minimum.
They're going to aim to take the West Bank, the Golan Heights.
They're going to continue to fight Lebanon and Jordan.
In fact, I think Israel struck Lebanon today.
It was Lebanon or Jordan.
Israel struck.
Israel strikes again a foreign country.
But obviously, that's the goal is to take all that land.
And Netanyahu wants that to be his legacy.
And I guess he can't even see into the future and realize the damage he's doing for Israel.
And, you know, there's not near enough appreciation.
And maybe that's part of the problem that Americans are having in this transactional relationship.
You know, if the Israelis and American Jews were on their knees every day thanking America.
I mean, thanking us, you know, smooching us, licking our boots, then maybe it wouldn't be so bad with the anti-Semitism.
But they're not.
They're entitled.
They're not thanking America.
They're asking for more.
They're saying it's never enough.
And they're saying America's anti-Semitic now.
It could be, if you believe now, I'm not saying I believe this, but if you take it at face value, if you believe Iran was a month away from getting a nuke, well then guess what?
America likely just saved the entire nation of Israel.
So, so if you really believe all this stuff and Iran was about to have a nuclear and launch it to to to nuclear Israel, then tell me why Netanyahu isn't kissing our ass.
Tell me why American Jews that are loyal to Israel, tell me why Israel isn't over here praising America on its knees begging America for help, praising America for saving its life.
That should be the dynamic here, not the other way around.
Not Israelis telling us how much we owe them.
unidentified
Not Israelis telling us how great they are.
Not Israelis and American Jews saying, oh, America's the problem and anti-Semitism is the problem and we need to censor speech and we need to monitor your activity and all this other stuff.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
If you believe all the propaganda, which I think it's all bull crap anyway, but let's take it at face value.
If we destroy the nuclear side and Iran was about to nuke Israel, then the United States of America just saved Israel.
Literally just saved probably a million people in Israel.
So where's the big thank you?
You know, where's the big parade celebrating America saving your ass?
Where's the appreciation for all the money and the weapons and everything that you have gotten from us and all we get is entitlement and arrogance and told that we owe more and that they're better than us?
And then you're shocked when people are turned on Israel?
You're shocked after everything you've done in the Gaza Strip?
And you're sitting here stunned at why people have turned on you?
You should be thanking us.
Because if we believe your propaganda, propaganda about Iran, then we just saved your ass.
owen shroyer
We just saved your entire country from getting nuked.
And I don't see a big thank you parade.
I don't see.
I don't see Israelis coming into America to help with flood disaster relief.
We have disasters in this country.
They never come here to help.
Where, where is the big ceremony?
Where, where, where is this big massive ceremony thanking America for what they did, destroying Iran's nuclear sites?
Where is it?
I don't see it.
Americans fought and died with other white Christian Europeans and then gave you Israel.
and now Americans just stopped Iran from nuking you.
And where is the appreciation?
Where is the thank you?
Where is the gratitude?
To be on their knees praising us.
But I guess when you're entitled and arrogant and superior as God's chosen people, I guess that's not really in the book, is it?
By the way, here's General Flynn.
This is the ultimate truth here in clip twelve.
unidentified
And I know that there's some machinations and there's got to be some big, big problems right now internal.
And Netanyahu is dealing with it with the idea.
They're going to have to do some soul searching.
And I mean, immediate soul searching, because the 7th of October was a date, you know, that they still have not been able to.
And there's an investigation going on.
And I've already heard from some of the soldiers that were told to stand down in the exact hours.
So something bad happened and it was an inside thing.
I don't know.
You know, again, that's that's a bombshell right there.
So the internal situation in Israel has got to be done with with.
Hold on, hang on, hang on.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hang on.
You can't drop a bomb like that.
Mike Flynn, your former head of DIA, first national security advisor, President Trump, a revered figure globally.
You're saying your sources are telling you on the investigation that.
steve bannon
that they're trying to slow down and slow walk over there because we're coming to the second anniversary of it.
You're saying that you're hearing there's testimony or documents or actual evidence that certain elements of the Israeli military were told to stand out?
Because I know from people I know, this is a very contentious area and it's going to be explosive.
Are you hearing the same thing?
michael flynn
Steve, you can go back to interviews that I did like the next day and the following week.
owen shroyer
That was on InfoWars, by the way.
michael flynn
That was on multiple broadcasts.
owen shroyer
That interview he's talking about was on InfoWars.
michael flynn
Where I said something went wrong because, Steve, I have personally walked that border.
I have been down at those areas and I know the details of how the Israelis, one of the most secure borders in the world, how they do their operations.
So I know that.
So something broke down and it wasn't because of mistakes.
So that's number one.
This internal machinations that are going on right now, what's going to have to happen?
They're going to have to get to grips with this because I'm going to tell you, the American people, they're getting tired of it.
They're getting tired of this constant, you know, Israel, Israel, Israel.
I mean, I'm the biggest fan.
I'm the biggest fan.
I would, you know, I have been to Israel many times.
I have served alongside them.
I have done things with them, certainly on the intelligence side.
So I'm their biggest fan.
But the American people are not.
And the American people are so tired of all the craziness.
and our involvement in doing that.
owen shroyer
But, you know, and here's another example, and General Flynn is right on here, but here's another example.
Brian Mast puts this out and he runs around Congress in an Israeli IDF uniform.
He has Israeli flags everywhere.
So he's one of them.
And they're all making a big fuss over this Florida State deal where this, it's a little girl who gets into a tiff with a guy who has an IDF shirt on, which by the way, you know, can you imagine if somebody had a Free Palestine shirt on or a Hamas shirt on and a small Jewish girl came up and was like, how dare you?
You're a terrorist.
And then you know, the dynamic would be in her favor.
If you reversed those circumstances.
But, oh, this little girl has a trouble with a guy having.
Oh, and now it's an international case.
Anti-Semitism has no place in the United States.
Yeah, if you don't like Israel killing kids, you know, you're an anti-Semite, whether it's in the halls of Congress or on college campus.
I stand with Jewish students at Florida State.
We must never back down on this kind of hate.
It was a verbal argument for 30 seconds at a gym in college.
And we're making a federal case out of this.
So that's what I'm saying.
It's like, this is a non-issue.
Students getting $100,000 in student loan debt and then looking at the future and feeling totally depressed and crushed by it is a real issue.
Am I saying we do student loan forgiveness?
unidentified
No.
owen shroyer
But I'm saying that's a real issue.
This is not.
And yet this is all you get is the garbage.
unidentified
All right.
owen shroyer
Now we're almost out of time here and I teased this story.
So let me just try to do this quickly.
And there's going to be more.
Allegations surrounding GOP's Corey Mills go from bad to worse.
Corey Mills leaps into another scandal, this time with a five-figure price tag and eviction notice.
Now, you may remember that from last month.
He owed a bunch of money on this place.
Now, this is not.
this that is not going to be over yet.
US Representative Corey Mills won't be evicted from his DC penthouse.
Well, that's odd.
So why?
Who, who does, who, who paid that bill, by the way?
Telling you, that story is not going to go away.
There's going to be some more developments there.
I'll leave it at that for now, but so here's the big one that they've been sitting on for a minute and now they're going live.
Miss United States accuses Representative Corey Mills of extortion, accepting money bags.
She's also published some texts between the two that don't look good.
Representative Corey Mills accused of threatening to release nude videos of ex girlfriend Lindsay Langston, uh, former Miss United States, Miss United States filing restraining order against GOP representative Cory Mills.
Now, can you imagine, folks, how crazy this is?
And again, I'll just, I don't think that penthouse story is going away.
Think Madison Cawthorn.
But imagine you're a sitting member of Congress and you got some issue with your ex girlfriend because apparently he was dating a bunch of girls and she's not the only one, by the way.
And I've talked to some others that are that know this story.
Well, obviously, that's how I teased it was coming a month ago.
But imagine you're a sitting member of Congress and you're trying to blackmail your ex girlfriend over sharing of a new video.
How are you?
What's your plan there, bud?
You're going to leak a nude video of your ex girlfriend as a sitting member of Congress and you think that's a good look for you?
So, um, this is just I think this is just the beginning of this story now and uh, it hasn't really gone well with them trying to put this deal out and now the penthouse is still running.
Uh huh.
Okay.
All right.
That does it for today.
Oh, new South Park tonight, guys.
Uh, what do you think we're going to see tonight?

You just saw an ad for Methylene Blue.
Tell people the short term effect and then now the long term effect.
stewart rhodes
Yeah, it gives you a good energy boost.
I use it before I work out.
So if I'm going to be doing kettlebell workouts, I do some Methylene Blue about half an hour before.
It gives you mental focus and I'll crash afterwards.
That's good stuff.
I need some more.
alex jones
How fast did it kick in?
stewart rhodes
About 15, 20 minutes.
It'll take about half an hour before I work out.
alex jones
And then you're saying you're almost out of the bottle.
Was that three weeks ago?
A month ago?
stewart rhodes
Yeah, something like that.
Give me the liquid and the pills too.
alex jones
You're almost out of both.
stewart rhodes
Yeah, I'm almost out of both.
