DHS Sec Sending Hundreds More ICE Agents To Minnesota, Trump Already Receiving Briefings on Military Strike Options for Iran as Protest Deaths Soar, Journalist Nick Sortor Attacked by “Tolerant” Anti-ICE Protesters & MORE
Harrison Smith and guests dissect DHS’s deployment of 300+ ICE agents to Minnesota amid a $700M cash fraud probe tied to Somali money couriers, pandemic aid theft (e.g., Feeding Our Future’s $250M scheme), and state employee graft covering $200M in mismanaged grants, including a $1.6M Wellness Collaborative payout with no oversight. Meanwhile, far-left streamer Andrew Mercado faces calls for RICO arrest after leading mob attacks on journalists like Nick Sortor, while HUD’s Scott Turner reports 6M foreign-born arrivals straining housing, sparking accusations of a "criminal conspiracy"—hypocritically dismissed by figures like Ilhan Omar. In Germany, AFD’s Peter Beistrom exposes prosecutorial misuse (e.g., ex-interior minister Nancy Faza’s politically motivated charges) and economic sabotage, with Mercedes-Benz relocating 20K jobs due to EU energy policies. Both critique U.S.-Israel’s proxy wars, from Patagonia arsons to Starlink disruptions in Iran, questioning why Netanyahu blocks Gaza journalists while 400+ media workers die. The episode ties these crises to establishment complicity, urging resistance via AlexJonesStore.com products and VIP memberships to counter censorship and fund legal battles.

Of course, I did the Sunday night show last night.
We covered a lot there.
We're going to touch on a lot of the topics that we covered there, but not spend quite so much time on the protest that embroiled Minnesota over the weekend.
But we've got a lot of Middle East news to talk about, and we're going to do a deep dive on Patagonia.
We touched on it a little bit last night, but we're going to dig a little bit more into it since this has been a concern for the people of the region for several decades, actually.
The idea that this pristine, you know, perfect area of land has been highly desired by, frankly, international criminals.
And it looks like maybe they're making their move.
So we'll get to that.
We're also going to be joined by Peter Beistrom, who is a member of the AFD party and a member of the European Parliament.
And then in the fifth hour, we'll be joined by Rex Jones, and we'll probably take your calls then.
But a lot of stuff to talk about.
So let's get into it like we do every day with your daily dispatch.
All right, here it is, folks.
Your daily dispatch for Monday, the 12th of January, 2026.
Fed subpoenaed as DOJ launches criminal probe into Jerome Powell, who vows to, quote, stand firm.
Not content with launching a dizzying cascade of international conflicts, Trump just lobbed a nuke at the Fed.
While Trump's vendetta against the Fed's Lisa Cook set for a January showdown before the Supreme Court, the Trump administration dramatically raised the stakes on Sunday when New York Times first reported, and minutes later, Fed chair Jerome Powell confirmed that the U.S. Central Bank has been served grand jury subpoenas from the Justice Department, threatening a criminal indictment.
And what Bloomberg said was a dramatic escalation of the Trump administration's attacks on the Fed.
Good.
It should be ended, in fact.
We'll show you that video in just a little bit if we have time.
But yes, they are apparently opening a criminal investigation into Jerome Powell, and he is not taking it lying down and actually trying to frame the Fed as a fourth branch of government, which would be news to me considering the fact that it is a private bank and there's absolutely no ability for an average American to have a say as to who leads them or what they do.
So not part of our government, but more powerful than huge chunks of our government.
Meanwhile, UK probes X over Grok C Sam scandal.
Elon Musk cries censorship.
CSAM standing for child sexual abuse material.
Something I've touched on a little bit on X.
It's actually a big issue.
And I don't know why Elon Musk is allowing Grok to be used like this, but essentially, if you ask Grok to like, if a woman posts a picture and you ask Grok, hey, take her clothes off, it produces a fake image of the person naked, and that includes children.
And it's just like, why would you not have protections against this?
That is incredibly invasive and off-putting and is detrimental to your business, right?
I mean, why would you encourage people to post pictures on X?
Like, I'm never posting a picture of my kid on X while Grok is doing this.
Are you kidding me?
And actually, Ashley St. Clair is sort of leading the charge on this, one of Elon Musk's baby mama.
But I'm especially disturbed by Grok, you know, doing this and not having protections against it because it's giving the UK exactly what they want, an excuse to intervene and to impose restrictions on AI.
Like, just do it yourself internally.
Tell Grok, hey, don't take the clothes off of women without their permission.
Are you kidding me?
Do that so then the UK doesn't have an excuse to come in and impose restrictions because that's going to be a big part of our story today, or our show today is the insane attacks against free speech that are happening across the world, but particularly in Europe, and Elon Musk standing up against them, but here giving them a major avenue of victory.
It's just ridiculous.
Meanwhile, Trump briefed on strike options in Iran as over 500 protesters have been reported dead.
Now, the protests in Iran have seemingly kind of wound down.
Iran is basically saying they're completely over.
Meanwhile, Israel is making a bunch of preparations that make it seem like it's not over by a long shot.
Apparently, Israel just opened up all of their bomb shelters, and the hospital has been told to prepare for emergency situations.
So, looks like the Middle East is the flame's not dying down quite yet.
And we'll return to that in just a little bit on the other side.
Stay with us.
That's your daily dispatch.
Brought to you, of course, by thealexjonesstore.com.
We'll be right back.
Don't go anywhere.
All right, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
This is The War Room.
Brought to you, of course, by the AlexJonesStore.com.
I'm your host, Harrison Smith.
We have a lot to talk about today, a heck of a lot.
Some that we touched on yesterday a little bit, but I spent pretty much the whole two hours, or at least an hour, 30 minutes, of the Alex Jones show yesterday, covering the protest.
So we're not going to spend too much more time on that.
I will let you know that the DHS is sending thousands or hundreds more.
I think the count I saw was they're sending another thousand to join the 2,000 federal agents already in Minneapolis.
So they'll be beefing up their numbers there, which is good to see.
But there's a lot of other stuff going on as well.
Feds probe hundreds of millions in suspected Somali cash in luggage leaving Minneapolis airport.
The Transportation Security Administration flagged nearly $700 million in cash detected in passengers' luggage leaving Minneapolis airport the last two years.
A massive cash exodus believed to be tied to Somali immigrants and their money couriers.
Homeland Security told Just the News.
The official said the cash movements out of Minnesota's largest airport began about a decade ago, around the time Governor Tim Walz took office and has grown substantially in recent years.
Though all were legally declared according to U.S. customs rules, the bundles of cash and luggage, some as much as a million dollars on a single trip, raised regular suspicions among TSA agents.
Mountains of dollars leaving the country is now being investigated by the Homeland Security Investigations Unit as part of a broader probe into the multi-billion dollar fraud scheme centered around the state's Somali immigrant community, where dozens have been charged with or convicted of federal crimes.
In March of last year, a federal jury convicted the head of a now defunct organization called Feeding Our Future in Minnesota for what prosecutors called the largest ever fraud of pandemic aid, which involved around $250 million.
So we know where it's going to fund the terror networks in Somalia in giant bags of cash that they move through the airport.
Only they declare it, so I guess it's fine.
Far left stringer streamer Andrew Mercado leads mob surrounding Nick Sortor and Cam Higbee in car, smashing window and threatening violence.
So we saw the video of this over the weekend, Cam Higbee and Nick Sortor being assaulted, their cars windows being broken, being spray painted, and their lives being threatened by the people just outside.
What we've learned now is that that mob was being led by a streamer.
Far-left streamer Andrew Mercado was caught on camera over the weekend threatening journalist Nick Sortor outside Minneapolis' Whipple Federal building.
This comes just days after the streamer says he was going to harass the F out of right-wing propagandist.
Mercado was seen approaching the driver's side door in the car Sortor was in, saying, I'll knock you out.
I'll get the whole effing state down here.
I swear to God, I will.
He added later, referring to fellow journalist Cam Higbee, shut up, Cam.
You can come out and get some too.
So see, what I would do if I was the Trump administration is I would say, this man, just like, again, I've said this before, we need a new face act.
Something along the similar lines because what this guy is doing is very obviously depriving American citizens of their First Amendment right.
You don't have a right to threaten people that if they want to come out and participate in a political demonstration, that you're going to kill them or hurt them in any way.
So I look forward to seeing this man arrested.
I look forward to his mugshot.
I look forward to everybody he's ever interacted with or talked to coming under RICO charges, just like they did on January 6th.
Of course, we're not going to see anything like that anytime soon.
Why not?
Because the people in power are trying to drive us towards civil war and they don't want to take the easy way out, which is just enforcing the law and arresting the criminals.
And then everything goes back to normal.
They don't want that.
So that's not what's happening.
Worst of the worst, ICE arrests child rapists, murderers, and other criminals in Minnesota enforcement surge.
Immigration and customs enforcement has revealed that the arrests have been carried out by the agency in Minnesota, including numerous child rapists, murderers, and other criminals.
This comes as left-wing politicians have attempted to demonize the agency after an ICE agent shot a woman in Minneapolis who drove into him.
Regardless of stage political theatrics, ICE is going to continue to arrest the worst of the worst criminal, illegal aliens in Minnesota and elsewhere.
ICE Director Todd Lyons said of the criminals arrested in the press release.
Some of these criminal aliens have had final orders of removal for 30 years, but they've been free to terrorize Minnesotans.
ICE's arrests prevents recidivism and make communities safer, but it feels like local politicians want to ignore that part and drum up discontent rather than protect their own constituents.
Maybe it seems like that because of how much they say that's what they're doing.
Arrest them all.
This is from National Polls, same story.
Somali couriers move almost a billion dollars in cash out of Minneapolis over the last several years.
In 2024 to 2025, Minneapolis airport said that they moved nearly $700 million in cash directly out of our country and into the hands of terrorists.
Somalia, you know, the thanks we get for helping out these poor, you know, beleaguered refugees.
It's a mistake we shouldn't make again.
But like I said, I mean, this still seems to me, I mean, I still have sort of the same interpretation I did last week, which was this, this doesn't, we know that the left is training their people and getting their people, you know, geared up, waiting for the excuse, waiting for that, you know, final whatever happens.
In this case, it was this woman being shot, but it doesn't feel like it has quite the impetus that they were expecting.
Like, it's been a few days, things are already kind of dwindling a little bit.
Doesn't have the same staying power that George Floyd did.
But remember, this is exactly what happened in 2020 with the Ahmed Arbery case for sort of getting the engine started and revving up only for the next big event to be the one that kicks off the city-destroying protest.
But obviously, the left is just feels completely unbound by law or decency or anything and are attacking innocent people, knowing that they can do so with impunity because not only are the local police and local law enforcement on their side and working with them, collaborating with them and protecting them, but that the Republicans will do nothing to fight for their people ever for some reason.
It really is infuriating and inexplicable how the people we've elected to solve this problem in particular are refusing to do absolutely anything to fulfill any of our demands.
Let's go to clip number 15 here.
This is Bovino, Greg Bovino, who's been a sort of spokesperson for Border Patrol recently, explaining that the problem is we're surrounded by mindless idiots.
And as they arrest those individuals, we have members of the community, some of those weaker-minded constituents that fall victim to Waltz and Fry's rhetoric, actually coming against us as we arrest those individuals.
But again, these people don't know or care about what's going on.
They're weak-minded, yes, but that's not really an excuse.
I mean, weak-minded people still know stealing things is wrong, right?
These people are something else.
These people are something, frankly, to me, a bit more, you know, terrifying.
Let's go to clip number 25 here.
This is a reporter going around asking the people protesting in Minneapolis, protesting ICE, what they think about Somali fraud.
Let's watch.
unidentified
How do you feel about the Somali fraud in Minneapolis?
I'll be honest, I haven't researched it a lot, but what it looks like to me is it looks like it's a made-up concept from people trying to smear Governor Waltz.
I checked into that a little bit, right?
There's nothing going on there.
There's like this edge lord going around stirring up his mega conservative base, but none of this stuff is rooted in truth and reality.
And I think if you just go out, you know, do your own research, like actually do that.
Like go and just like look at video evidence, come to a realistic opinion about what's going on in the world.
It's a scapegoat, right?
For anti-Somali immigration hate.
I don't know much about the Somali fraud.
Sounds like bullshit.
So there's a question as to whether it is a fraud.
I don't know.
I'm not following that real closely.
So I will reserve judgment on that.
I mean, I think that they were just using this as an excuse to go in there and scare people and show that they can be really powerful.
At Davey Jacks on Instagram, I mean, they don't know.
They just don't know.
They don't care.
They haven't looked into it.
They're not interested because they just assume that if it's from a right-winger, it's probably fake.
Again, just they're just asserting that.
They have absolutely no reason to believe that.
I mean, this is what I'm saying.
It sucks.
It really does.
But we have to stop trying to get through to these people.
I mean, honestly, it's a fool's errand.
You're going to try to convince these people to sit down and watch a video that shows how wrong they are.
Like, they're just not going to do it.
They don't care.
They really don't care.
I mean, it's everywhere.
It's not just us talking about this.
It's the local news going on about this.
Let's go to clip number 27 here.
Authorities in Minnesota.
Here's a report about just some of the hundreds of millions of dollars that's been robbed from Minnesotans through fraud and sent to a foreign state on their local news.
Again, we've barely scratched the iceberg, like barely scratched the tip of the iceberg.
I mean, it's so unbelievably huge, the fraud, and not just in Minneapolis, but all over the world.
Let's go to clip number 17 here.
Again, I mean, this is what these protesters don't know, don't care about.
Why don't they care about this?
I couldn't possibly tell you.
I don't know.
It's just as baffling as them supporting the Iranian regime that is literally the cartoonish villains that they think that white males are.
I mean, it's baffling.
It's nonsensical.
It's just literally just madness on a population scale.
It really is kind of disturbing because you can't run a country with people like this.
You honestly can't.
I mean, there's nothing partisan about any of this.
Somebody is stealing money from your government's welfare.
Like, how are you not against that?
I don't even like welfare.
I don't want it being stolen by the hundreds of billions of dollars.
So, again, are you going to try to get through to these people?
It's people that think that Donald Trump is a Nazi and that the Iranian moolahs are progressive.
Like, I don't even like, I don't even really care about the Iranian.
Frankly, it's kind of wish Trump would take a maybe just a lesson or two from Iran about how to shut down giant fabricated foreign-funded protests, but that's put to the side because the left is genuinely, genuinely insane.
And if you've ever dealt with a genuinely insane person, you don't try to reason with them, okay?
Let's go to clip 17 here.
This, again, is something that the left just doesn't care about.
Widespread proven fraud.
Now, again, I don't expect the left to care about it.
I don't, you know, depend on the left caring about it.
I want Trump to move on these.
I want the DOJ to arrest all of these people.
And they can complain and whine about it all they want.
They don't have to understand why they're being arrested.
And in at least one case, it was created wholesale and backdated by two years to give the impression that it had always been there and been done on time.
The OLA audited the Behavioral Health Administration within the Department of Human Services, which issues grants, nearly $200 million of taxpayer money each year to addiction and mental health service providers.
But the audit found BHA was not making sure those providers were doing the work.
One of the grants examined by OLA was $1.6 million issued to the Wellness Collaborative through Zion Baptist Church in North Minneapolis.
According to the OLA report, BHA didn't have documentation to give auditors to show that the services were rendered.
What's more, the audit says the grant manager directly profited by leaving BHA and months later providing consulting services to the Wellness Collaborative for the grant she managed, which Randall says is not illegal.
Yes, yes, it is unbelievably exhausting, and it goes on and on.
Let's go to clip 39 now.
HUD Secretary Scott Turner just released a bombshell report that found an immense amount of grifting going on when it came to the money allocated for helping the less privileged be housed.
When you have over 12 million people coming over our borders unchecked, unvetted, this is straining our housing market from a supply standpoint, from an affordability standpoint.
HUD just put out a report and found that between 2021 and 2024, the foreign-born population in our country in just three short years is 6 million people, which is the most in that period of time in American history.
And so we cannot forego the thought that because of illegal immigration, because of people coming to our country, prices have risen, supply has been squeezed, but we're working very hard at HUD, along with the president and other leaders in the administration, to bring down the cost and raise the supply when they're doing it through interagencies.
But we need the Fed to cut rates.
We need to continue to deport illegals that are taking houses from the American people.
So we're very intentional and focused about it at HUD and across the administration.
So whether it's housing, whether it's education, child care, I mean, it's not only is the amount of money poured into it and the amount of graft and corruption anyway driving up house prices on its own, like even if it was all legitimate, it's still a bad thing for the vast majority of Americans.
Add on top of that, that all the money poured in is stolen and sent overseas.
I mean, it is our government is a criminal conspiracy, essentially, which is why the criminals involved don't like it being investigated.
Let's go to clip 40 here.
Ilhan Omar is very angry that fraud in Minnesota is being investigated.
I'm so exhausted in trying to ask what any of this information has led to you finding any criminals that you have indicted that explains why you are wasting so much of our taxpayer resources and also terrorizing our communities in the amount of federal law enforcement agents that you have in the streets of our city and our state.
Okay, the justification is billions of dollars of fraud, you stupid bent.
Like, what the hell are you talking about?
She's worried about the wasting of resources.
Okay.
If that's what you're concerned about, I have a one-stop, easy solution to free up just billions of dollars in resources.
It'd send you and everybody like you back to the hellhole you came from.
You stupid woman.
I mean, why is she still in this country?
Why is she still in this country?
It doesn't make any sense.
She lied on her intake form.
She said she was married to her brother to get him in.
She's just, her entire existence in America has been one long act of grifting and fraud.
Why is she still here?
Why is she in charge of anything?
Why is the Trump administration, why are they such squibs?
Why are they such incompetent losers?
Honestly.
We're at the breaking point here.
Now, apparently.
Apparently, we are hearing about grand juries being summoned.
Okay.
We are hearing about charges being laid against people like John Brennan and others.
Let's go to this clip from George Papadopoulos that's just dropped.
And I don't necessarily, it's looking a lot like hopium to me, but we'll listen to it anyway.
Here's George Papadopoulos saying that basically the entire Democratic Party is going to be charged under RICO as one big criminal conspiracy, which they are, and they should.
The FBI, the DOJ, the DNI, and the CIA are all looking at a 10-year-long government conspiracy case in which they're likely going to look at RICO charges, look at the Democrat Party and the left as some sort of criminal organization writ large.
And people like Brennan, Obama, Comey, and the upper echelons of the Democrat Party are all now in the crosshairs of this grand jury that will be impaneled just today.
I mean, that is, that's the point of me showing you all these things, right?
The HUD scam, the Ilhan Omar, the Somali scam.
I mean, it's all this giant self-serving network, right?
The Democrats get elected by their ethnic cohorts that themselves have been brought in specifically to hand over a congressional district to a particular ethnic group.
They vote for their people.
Their people protect the fraud, end the investigations that would uncover it.
Some of the money that's stolen fraudulently gets funneled back into the campaigns to guarantee that they remain in position to protect these groups and the populations themselves, the Somalis, vote as a bloc.
They're told who to vote for by their community leaders, and they do it.
So you get those community leaders on your side by funneling them a couple million dollars of stolen taxpayer funds and you're set for life and you're good.
Like that is a giant criminal conspiracy, robbing taxpayer dollars to give to their patrons in return for votes and bringing more people over or giving them citizenship by the back door or whatever other act of fraud and illegitimacy that they want to bring to American shores.
So why are we not confronting them and attacking them with the same fervor that they attack us with?
It doesn't make any sense.
DHS is sending hundreds of more federal agents to Minneapolis.
Election officials in Oregon, by the way, begun purging rolls of inactive voters and have already found 800,000 registrations.
Nearly a million registrations should never be allowed on the voter rolls.
And that's about 20% of the entire voter population in Oregon.
So you're like, our system has just been fraudulent forever.
Admitted to voting on all four ballots, a woman allegedly cops to voter fraud in 2024 election because, of course she did.
It was a apartment manager who simply took people's ballots and voted on their behalf.
I wonder how many times that happened all over the country.
We're told never because the people who are in favor of the crime are lying to us.
We'll be back on the other side.
I'm going to get into how Europe is desperately trying and failing to silence everybody in the world.
And we'll be joined by a member of European Parliament in the next hour.
Stay with us, folks.
A lot more up ahead.
Don't go anywhere.
All right.
Welcome back, folks.
Just a few more things about the protests over the weekend.
First, let's go to clip number 14 here.
This is real Britt Hughes explaining the psychological phenomenon behind most of the protests that we see these days.
I think she hits the nail on the head here.
Let's go to clip number 14.
unidentified
Don't come on my page and say that people should be in this country legally.
A lot of people are wondering right now how in the world a person's brain ends up like this because this is not how healthy, happy people act.
Let me explain.
Liberal women are what happens when the natural female instinct to nurture and defend and care for gets misdirected away from families and children and misapplied to whatever the liberal cause of the week is.
See, women have an innate instinct to support and emotionally connect to vulnerable people.
We are designed to be mama bears.
And in the absence of a stable and healthy home and family, a woman will find a place to put all of that.
The natural instinct to sacrifice yourself for your children gets misapplied in all the wrong directions.
You want to know why so many liberal women are out there playing hero for criminal aliens and gender-confused perverts and cultures that hate them?
It's because they believe they have identified groups of people who need them when no one else does.
We destroyed the family and we handed a generation of women a bunch of feminist lies and progressive slop in its place.
I've heard you say once what a disservice it's done for Mayor Fry to get up and to ice to get the F out of his city and KLC to stand up before she had any of the facts and call this officer a murderer.
Who's this woman in the red shirt coordinating with local Atlanta police at an NTICE protest that escalated into a riot with tear gas and riot police deployed?
For every new 100 followers, I'll expose a new group.
She's a professional paid protester.
Let me show you how.
Here she is at the International Workers' Day protest.
Here she is again at a pro-Iran rally, at an anti-Trump demonstration, and leading a protest outside Atlanta's Icefield office.
And she's never alone.
Always accompanied by the same woman who I've nicknamed Crazy Babushka.
Here they are together at multiple Atlanta protests.
So here's footage of me asking them what group they are affiliated with.
unidentified
What does your shirt say?
It says Party for Socialism and Liberation of an Organizer.
Their funding comes from a $20 million donation by a nonprofit run by Neval Roy Singhim, whose wife serves as a board member of that nonprofit.
It's simple.
$20 million is funneled to the United Community Fund, which then funnels money to PSL.
The leader of the PSL, Claudia De La Cruz, also holds a leadership role in the People's Forum, a New York City hub where organizations like the PSL meet and strategize.
Between 2017 and 2022, Singham donated $20 million to the People's Forum.
Singhim, a self-described socialist, lives in China where he regularly meets with Chinese Communist Party officials and attends their events.
And that is how these protesters can afford to protest every single day.
Because they're paid to do it, which would mean that they are probably easily defined as a criminal network, considering the fact that it is illegal to travel from state to state starting riots.
It's literally a law.
It is a law that if you cross a state line and then participate in a riot, it is a federal law that you have broken.
The Trump administration could be going after all of these people for doing exactly that.
Why aren't we?
I'll leave that up for you to decide.
But I want to talk about what's happening in Europe and really around the world.
And I want to start off talking about what truth itself even is.
Before we do that, I do want to remind you that today is the last, or this week rather, is the last week of our crossover giveaway.
Every purchase on the alexjonesstore.com gets you 50 times entries to win our Ford Raptor plus $10,000 in cash, plus our F-250 diesel truck, plus $10,000 in cash.
That's two badass trucks and $20,000 in cash that you can win this week only by going to the AlexJonesStore.com.
Anything you purchase gets 50 entries per dollar you spend.
We actually just gave away our Jeep 392 plus $10,000 in cash to Chris from Colorado Springs.
But I thought that was an appropriate thing to play today, in particular when you have this story.
Texas AM professor told to remove Plato reading from philosophy course.
As universities across Texas respond to new restrictions on classroom content, a directive limiting Plato readings at Texas AM University has prompted concern among scholars who say it crosses into academic freedom.
At issue is the directive given to Professor Martin Peterson, who was told Tuesday to revise his course syllabus after university officials raised concerns that some Plato readings could violate the Texas AM University system's new rules restricting discussions of race, gender identity, or gender ideology, and sexual orientation in core classes.
But they're not the only ones doing it.
Of course, as we talk about Europe descending into an anti-free speech totalitarianism, Plato readings removed from philosophy course, igniting online controversy.
This happened in Oxford, I believe, as well.
But this, it's basically happening all over.
They're removing Plato by claiming that because he discusses race or because he discusses sex, you can't talk about sex or race in college universities.
Okay, it's a little odd.
If you can't teach Plato in a philosophy cast, what can you teach?
Well, we just heard pleasure.
The endless morality of pleasure seeking.
But it gets more complicated than that.
I did a full report on this a while ago.
I should really go find it.
Because actually, the secret to world domination is exposed in Brave New World, and it's exactly what that guy was just discussing.
It's not just about fulfilling your pleasure, it's about the systems that control society dictating what you find pleasurable.
If you find pleasure in long-term things and things that take a lot of effort and sacrifice, if you find pleasure, and it's not even pleasure is not even the right word.
If you find fulfillment in things that are difficult and long-lasting, then you're really an inconvenience.
What they want is you desiring nothing but the things that can be fulfilled immediately.
They don't want you to desire a legacy with children and grandchildren.
That's a lifelong kind of thing that you're going to be dedicated to.
They want you desiring sexual gratification and gourmet food and likes on your Instagram post.
And as long as that is the height of your desire and the totality of your fulfillment, then they can fulfill that and make you dumb and happy.
But if your desires are more uplifting and ambitious, then that's kind of an issue.
So Klaus Schwab actually talks about this and references this design.
And Mustafa Mond in Brave New World explains it outright.
He basically says, you know, the pain, humans experience pain in that gap between a desire and the fulfillment of that desire.
And so in order to minimize pain that humans experience, they want to minimize that gap between the desire and the fulfillment of the desire.
And so the best way to do that is to dictate that all of your desires are sexual or carnal in nature, and you can pretty much immediately fulfill them and be happy.
And so they're creating happiness by making sure that nobody desires anything that's difficult or means you have to work hard or have discipline or that it takes a long time to achieve because that's pain, according to the people in charge.
So it's actually more complicated than even Plato understood that once these people understand the power of fulfilling somebody's pleasure, that's actually a way to enslave them.
And our rulers have figured that out and are working double time to put us in that condition of immediacy, immediate gratification being the only thing we desire.
Let's go to clip 13 here, because as we start our jaunt around Europe and the European diaspora, like Australia, we'll see the real reason why free speech is being limited and restricted and the little carve-outs and caveats that expose the real agenda behind it.
Today, can I say that I will write this afternoon to the Speaker of the House of Representatives for Parliament to be called, recalled next Monday and Tuesday, both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
The legislation will then be debated on Tuesday in the House of Representatives.
We intend to have that legislation pass the House before question time, which will occur at the normal time at 2 o'clock, and then will be considered by the Senate in the afternoon in order to ensure its passage on that day.
The bill is the Combating Anti-Semitism, Hate and Extremism Bill.
It's a comprehensive package of reforms which creates serious offences for hate preachers and leaders seeking to radicalize young Australians.
It increases the penalties for hate crimes offences.
It ensures that offenders whose crimes were motivated by extremism had that factored into their sentencing.
It creates a new offence for inciting hatred in order to intimidate or harass.
It expands and strengthens the ban on prohibited symbols, and it makes it easier for the Minister for Home Affairs to cancel or refuse a visa for people intent on spreading hatred.
And it creates a new framework that will enable the Minister for Home Affairs to list organisations as prohibited hate groups.
Once an organisation is listed, it will be a criminal offence to be a member, to recruit for it, to donate or receive funds or support that group in any way.
I mean, they're issuing a new raft of hate speech laws that basically criminalize participation in any group that they deem to be hateful.
So you don't have to actually have done anything.
You don't have to actually have been around anybody who had done anything.
If you merely apply to be a member of an organization that they've deemed illegal, you can be charged with hate crimes.
And in fact, there's people like Joel Davis in prison right now in Australia.
Who is there for hate speech and is being charged with additional charges on top of what he's already being charged with.
With these new laws that they came up with that they're now, you know, applying backwards to things that he did before.
It was illegal.
So it's obviously just.
It's the attempt to destroy free speech around the world.
And whatever excuse they need is it child sex material?
Is it anti-semitism and terrorist attacks?
I mean, it doesn't matter, because the things that they're doing don't actually stop any of the things that they're predicating their actions on.
Do you understand, and not in a vague way?
The terrorist attack at Bondi beach that inspired all of these hate speech laws was carried out by a Muslim, an immigrant.
There are actually special carve outs in the law that make it not apply to religious groups.
Okay, so Australia is passing this big raft of hate speech laws on the back of this Islamic terrorist attack, but within the law is an exception for the types of people that carried out the terror attack.
Religious institutions are actually allowed to commit hate speech in Australia.
It's crazy, but that's literally true.
Uh from AWES.
Integrity at QBCC, integrity on x.
Islamic extremist preachers reading or referencing texts which insp incite violence against non-believers are exempt from Albanese's new laws.
Same goes for any religious extremism as long as it's referencing or paraphrased labor is genociding Aussies under these new laws.
So subsection one does not apply to conduct that consists only of directly quoting from or otherwise referencing a religious text for the purpose of religious teaching or discussions.
So that's like I guess that's a fine caveat, because obviously one of the problems with the hate speech laws that are going in place or they're trying to put in place places like America, is they would in fact ban portions of the Bible.
Right, if you have a part of the Bible calling Jews the Synagogue Of Satan well, that's Anti-semitic, you can't read the bible now.
Well okay, there should be carve outs if you're going to have hate speech laws.
I guess this is a way to deal with it.
I'd rather not have hate speech laws, but there's also, you know, some places.
Some organizations will be considered legitimate religious organizations while others won't.
I guess a workaround of this would be the Nazis in uh in Australia to claim that they're part of a religious movement.
They're, they're notis by religion, and then Mein Kampf can be a uh religious text and then you can read it with impunity.
If laws actually, you know, worked in the way that they're supposed to.
A lot of people have uh spoken out about this.
I mean obviously, I mean just obviously, this is just an attempt to destroy first amendment, the first amendment or their equivalent free speech in Australia.
But it's happening all over the world.
And I guess we'll begin with clip number 26, because this is the Australian prime minister arriving to a memorial for the victims of the Bandi beach massacre.
Uh, let's see how he is uh received clip number 26, people committing crimes here.
Bunch of people committing crimes, was it?
Was it Albany is the one who, during Covid I don't even know what they're protesting about.
Okay, are you starting to get an image of what our democracies are really all about?
That you have a bunch of elite rulers that are utterly despised by the people that they rule over.
And so now they're imposing free speech restrictions to silence people's outrage about the policies that are destroying them and being pursued by the people that are supposedly their representatives in their democracy.
Let's go to clip number 18.
This is Ursula van der Leyen, head of the European Union.
She tried to visit Bulgaria recently.
Let's watch how that went, a fascist and a Nazi and blocking her entrance and surrounding her car.
Like anywhere these people go, they are despised.
Anywhere the leadership of Europe goes, they get booed, they get heckled, they get yelled at, they get shouted down, and it's happening everywhere.
Clip 30, Chancellor Schultz overwhelmingly booed and condemned for fueling the war in Ukraine.
I want to address a couple arguments that are being shouted so loudly in this room.
First, warmonger.
The warmonger's Putin.
He took 200,000 people into Ukraine.
So he's getting shouted down and yelled and called a warmonger by his people.
Again, it's everywhere.
It's everywhere, folks, whether it's the leader of the UK, leader of Australia, the leader of Germany, the leader of Italy, the leader of the European Union, are despised by their own people.
So now they're trying to silence them.
In this video, I don't think we ever played it.
We should have.
It is the most iconic image of Europe at this moment that we've seen so far.
Clip 42.
This is Ursula van der Leyen saying that we have to fight Russia.
Europe has to go to war with Russia because they arrest people who protest while a protester is actively being arrested directly in front of her for speaking back to her.
Clip 42.
unidentified
Although they can be happy that they are in a free country like Finland, where the free speech is a right where they have not put any restrictions in their own country.
Remember, something like 12,000 people are in jail in the UK for speech offenses today.
So that was Ursula van der Leyen, Chancellor of the EU, saying that, you know, we have to fight Russia because in Russia, they don't have the freedom to protest.
You'd be in jail if you tried to protest in Russia while somebody is being manhandled by the police and hauled away to phase eight crime charges for heckling Ursula van der Leyen.
Is it becoming clear yet why the free speech restrictions are going into place?
Why the laws are being legislated?
Because these people don't have the will of their constituents.
They don't have the will of the people.
And they need people not to know that.
They need to silence people about that.
And they're going to really extreme lengths now.
There's a video game in the UK that kids in school are being forced to play.
And if in the game they express uncertainty or an unwillingness to bring in migrants to the UK, then they're put on terrorist lists, official terrorist lists with the government.
Children in like elementary school are being asked to play a game, video game, propagandizing them into hating their own country.
And if they resist within the game, the game tags their file and identifies them to the police as potential terrorists.
Renee Nicole Good wasn't a lot of things, but she also wasn't someone that deserves to be used to further divide Americans by the desperation of a governor and a mayor drowning in an ongoing fraud investigation.
As the vehicle passes, you can see the dark-colored SUV driven by Renee Nicole Good.
That's on the right there in the back.
The surveillance video taken by a home nearby.
Agents can be seen milling about near the vehicle, then converging on it.
And then you see right there, the SUV begins to move.
And that's when the shots are fired.
unidentified
There's not the slightest doubt in your mind, having viewed it, that this, the victim, you still believe that she deliberately tried to ram him despite seeing this video.
Look, I don't know what is in a person's heart or in a person's head.
And obviously, we're not going to get the chance to ask this woman what was going on.
What I am certain of is that she violated the law.
If people want to say that we should have a legitimate debate about, you know, what was she really doing, right?
Was she panicking when she drove into this officer or was she actually trying to ram him?
That's a reasonable conversation.
What's not reasonable is for so many of you to plaster all over the media that this was an innocent woman and that the ICE agent committed murder, which is what many of you have said explicitly and some of you have said implicitly.
Apparently, this school is where Renee Goode, who was fairly new to Minneapolis, was introduced to ICE protesting in the first place.
Oddly enough, this school sounds way worse than a Learing Sitter.
It was opened in 1972 to have an unabashed focus on social justice education.
No, really, this is straight from their website.
We integrate social justice into every grade level, telling the stories of the people, not the people in power, and helping students understand history and their role in making the world a better place.
A gym teacher who retired last month said that current events like George Floyd were a regular part of the curriculum.
This is for little kids.
So the article goes on to say that it was through her involvement with the community at Southside Family Charter School that Renee Goode got involved with Ice Watch, a group dedicated to disrupting ICE.
I read the article on InfoWars, and I have to say compliments.
It's an excellent article.
It shows how really incredible the situation in Berlin is.
Just imagine there was a sabotage attack done by the Antifa, and 100,000 people were without power, electricity for days, not for hours, but for four or five days.
There is at least one dead, maybe two.
The reports are now in the stage to be confirmed, or this is confirmed that the one person died because of cold.
At the same time, the asylum seekers were evacuated by the authorities, but the regular citizens, they were told, oh, you can go to the hotel.
And before I come to this, I have to say one more thing.
You know, there was for days there was no electricity.
And the first days, even the mobile phones did not work.
So the people, they had no access to the internet.
They had no phones, no heating.
And what did the stupid local government informed the people via internet?
This is really insane how incompetent they are.
And you say it, yeah.
Antifa group called Volcano Group claimed responsible for this attack.
And what is really astonishing, this group committed more than 10, 11 separate arson or sabotage attacks within the last 14 years,
which clearly shows that the Antifa has a strong support within the Berlin government, within the socialist party, which is ruling there.
There are no really no serious nationwide manhunts or home searching, emergency alerts, nothing like this, that they're letting them do for more than 10 years.
Meanwhile, the German intelligence says the AFD party is domestic terrorists, or whatever the phrase they have to label the AFD party as criminals.
So you guys are surveilled and restricted.
Meanwhile, Antifa, and actually in this article written by Dan Lyman, he links a video he did in 2020 with you showing him through Berlin, showing him that Antifa ran entire neighborhoods in the capital city.
I mean, this problem is baked in at this point, isn't it?
That was a great work by Dan Lyman at the time when he was a correspondent, European correspondent.
He went with me directly to the headquarters of the Antifa.
He was filming it.
It's worth to see it because you see the scam and we know that it will take just minutes and they will come.
So we just dip in, filmed, and went out.
You know, this is tremendously dangerous because again, the structures in Berlin are really huge.
They are funded by the government.
They are receiving.
millions of Euro, millions of US dollars.
There are several NGOs, everything funded by taxpayers' money.
And the worst thing was when we have been with them at the occupied area, there were houses, complete houses occupied by Antifa for decades, you know, and we have been there when several thousand policemen were trying to kick them out.
They kicked them out after two days and then was filming everything.
And of course, it's not actually that surprising that the government doesn't stop them because they're sort of doing everything the government wants to do, right?
They're predicating these attacks on stopping climate change and reducing CO2 emissions.
And it's like, well, if a factory shut down because a regulation shuts it down or it's shut down because it's firebombed, at the end of the day, they're sort of pursuing the same ends, huh?
And you mentioned the German domestic intelligence service, the secret service.
And the former head of the secret service, Dr. Massen, he was criticizing, even in charge when he was in charge, was heavily criticizing the politics because of the collaboration with the Antifa.
He said the Socialist Party considers Antifa as a sort of party internal terror group used to defeat the competition or the opposition.
And he also said, you know, the left-wing forces, they handle them with well-being glows.
And, you know, and this is exactly what is happening on one side.
The secret services are misused to oppress legitimate democratic opposition like the AFD to blame this party, you know, right-wing and so on, which it is not, in fact, you know, but they are really manhunts and home searchings by ordinary people for posting something on Facebook on TikTok in favor of the opposition or criticizing the government.
Just one example, you know, next day, tomorrow, there will be a trial in Bavaria against the editor-in-chief of a magazine who was publishing a meme, a really satirical meme with the picture of the interior minister with a piece of paper in her hand saying, I hate the freedom of speech.
And he got seven months jail for this.
So this is what the authorities are doing.
And at the other hand, they are not prosecuting terrorist groups like Antifa who are publicly claiming having done an attack on infrastructure of the capital city of Germany.
They're blowing up electricity works.
Hundreds, thousands of people have no heating, no light, no electricity for days.
We played the video in the last segment where Ursula van der Leyen is up there going, in Russia, you get arrested for protesting while a protester is being arrested right in front of her.
It's this type of stuff that, like, it is truly insane.
It is completely nonsensical.
I don't even know what how we get back from this.
Obviously, you know, getting people like yourself into power would be a fantastic way to set things right, but they are doing everything they can to stop that from happening.
Is it the parliamentary system that's so easily manipulatable?
Because we've noticed that whether it's Germany or France or the UK, a lot of times the right wing really wins the election, but then the left wing and the center right form coalitions to keep them out.
Same thing happens in Germany, right?
How do you get past those types of roadblocks in parliament?
And man, there's so many aspects to this that I want to delve into you with because the Ukraine war, I mean, it's just another layer of insanity that Europe is destroying itself.
And then as the people of Europe are struggling financially and just with everything, they want to send them to go die in some frozen field in Russia.
I mean, it is truly the most wicked thing I've ever seen.
Guess, look, there are polls done by Gallup, by American agency Gallup.
And they're saying 70% of the Ukraini want to stop the war.
And they are saying, even if the Russians keep what they conquered, you know, they say, oh, come on, this is eastern Ukraine.
It used to be a Russian all the time.
They should keep it.
The Ukrainians, they just want to stop the war.
And second, there are more than 360,000 young Ukrainian men who could fight just in Germany, France, and Czech Republic, just in those three countries.
There are more than the Ukraine has under our armor now, you know.
And they all escape.
They fled the country.
They don't want to fight the war.
There are many millions of Ukrainians who emigrated in both directions.
People are not talking about this, but there are several millions of Ukrainians.
They fled to Russia.
They are living in Russia.
Nobody is doing them anything.
They are not harmed.
They're living in Russia.
They fled because they don't want to be involved in this war.
Nobody wants to die in the war.
The Germans, they don't want the war.
Nobody wants to go fighting, but the government is still pushing and pushing and pushing.
Of course, it's just this is simple censoring, censorship.
It's just called with a different name.
And we had the discussion in the European Parliament last time in the last session, you know, and there was a guy from Romania and he was pushing for this law, which is going to be a real censorship in Europe.
And I asked him, like, you remember you grew up in Romania, so you remember the communist system.
And I grew up in communism as well.
I'm born in Czechoslovakia.
You mentioned it in the beginning.
And I said, look, I can remember that the communists were censoring like Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, and all the Western media.
They were censoring it, that they were disturbing the signal.
But the Westerners, they didn't.
You could freely watch in Germany the Czech television, the German socialist television.
Nobody was disturbing it because they know it's stupid.
You know, it's socialist propaganda.
Nobody cares.
But the socialists, they were afraid of the true.
So they censored it.
And now I said, look, what is the European Union doing now?
It's censoring a Russian TV.
Sorry, Russia today is censored in the whole Europe.
And I said, what are you afraid of?
And do you think it's right that the European Union now is behaving like the communists in the former time?
If you don't want people talking about what you're doing, it's because you're doing something bad.
And if you're trying to, you know, censor true information.
And but that's the thing, isn't it?
That's one of the other reasons they want the war.
That's why they want to, you know, be fully involved in the war in Ukraine, because then you're not just censoring for hate speech, you're stopping enemy propaganda, right?
And therefore, if you are now spreading information, they don't want you to spread, it's not just that they are offended, it's that you're acting with the enemy now.
So really, everything happening that's bad in Germany and Europe will only accelerate if they really kick off a full-fledged direct war with Russia.
Unfortunately, this is already happening since two or three years.
Everybody who was arguing against the war in Russia, against the German involvement in this war, was claimed a Russian spy and Russian propagandist and Putin's agent.
It happened even to me.
I've got 27 home searchings already and investigations which claim that I was bribed by Putin and they found nothing.
After two years, nearly two years and 27 home searching, they found nothing, no money, no contract, no proof for this nonsense, of course, you know, but they are still oppressing the people.
They are blackmailing the people.
It's really terrible.
So we have circles which are really in war with Russia.
This is the military complex.
It's the whole NATO, the secret services.
They see themselves in war with Russia.
They are.
In fact, they are in war with Russia.
This is not legitimate by any parliament, by nobody.
This has no democratic legitimation, but they are behaving this way.
And again, they are misusing the heuristical system, the courts, the prosecutors for the oppression of the opposition.
Yeah, any power they get, they turn to their own ends, regardless of the legitimacy.
The stories on Infowars, meet the European official who's been raided 23 times by German police.
This must be an old article.
You've been raided four more times since the article was written because you say now that the count is at 27.
Peter Beistran is my guest.
He's a member of the European Parliament.
We'll be back on the other side after this short commercial break.
Don't go anywhere.
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
This is thewarroominfowars.com.
banned.video.
I hope you can support us by going to the alexjonesstore.com.
We have a brand new version of the trench knife available there at the alexjonstore.com.
I'm not going to show it to you yet because we have a member of European Parliament.
And I don't know if looking at an image of a knife will get you arrested in here.
So we're not going to show it.
We're not going to show it.
I'm kidding, of course.
But I am very happy to be welcoming my guest, Peter Beistran.
He can be followed on X at Peter Beistran AFD.
That's P-E-T-R-B-Y-S-T-R-O-N-A-F-D on X.
He is a member of the European Parliament for Germany's Alternative for Germany.
And let me just ask you, sir, during the break, I was just scrolling through Twitter, see if anything was breaking.
And it looks like war with Iran may very much be on the table.
The U.S. Embassy of Iran is telling American citizens to leave the country now.
Donald Trump just put out a truth social saying effective immediately.
Any country doing business with the Islamic Republic of Iran will pay a tariff of 25%.
Basically, every signal is looking like U.S. State Department issued security alert for Iran, urging Americans, if safe, to consider leaving by land via Armenia or Turkey.
So again, a lot of signals being sent that some sort of major showdown with Iran is right around the corner, could be within hours.
Mr. Beistran, do you have any comment on this or what do you think about the heightening of temperatures in the Middle East these days?
So the free society doesn't want to be oppressed by this regime.
This is quite obvious.
This is not the first time the Iranians, they tried an uprisal already several times within the last years.
The regime always pushed them down.
They oppressed them.
And I was a foreign policy speaker of my party, so I had contact to both sides, to the opposition's leader.
I was even quoting the free Iranian people in my Bundestag speeches.
And I addressed the members of the German parliament by what the Iranian wanted in order to help them.
But we had also contact with the Iranian officials, and they were always very self-confident and they were confident that they can oppress the uprisings.
Now, I think they are very, very nervous.
Their reactions are very aggressive.
They are shooting people to death.
They are now switching off starlink.
They are trying to oppress any oppositional communication.
They are forbidding even the doctors and the hospitals to give medical care to those people who are shot.
So if you are delivered to the hospital with a wand had been shot in the demonstration, the doctors are refusing to help you.
They should report you to the police.
It's really very inhuman, very hard.
What happened, what changed against the previous uprisals is the change on the geopolitical scale.
I think this is a result of the negotiations between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Alaska.
And because they divided the zones of influence, and we can see that Russia is not backing Iran anymore.
And we saw also the overture for this.
This was Venezuela.
Trump cleaned up Maduro with a very, very effective strike.
And the second now is Iran.
And that's the deal.
Russia was given the zone of influence in the Ukraine.
And now the U.S. cleaned up in America.
And I think they will support the people of Iran to get a free democratic government.
So you think that the negotiations with Putin and Trump have led to this because there's been some sort of agreement that Russia will withdraw its support of the Iranian regime and allow it to be maybe overthrown and fully brought into the zone of influence.
It's not official, but I'm a political scientist and I wrote a piece about this just two weeks before Venezuela and it was published in the biggest Czech newspaper.
And I said, look, if that was a part of the deal, the days of Maduro are over.
And two weeks later, he was in New York in handcuffs.
I mean, it's secret.
It was never published somewhere, but I think it's very logical.
If you divide the world in the zone of influence, it would be a logical step.
And it explains also why the Russians are not interfering in any way.
Of course, you can say they are involved in Ukraine so heavily, they don't have the capacity.
And I was wondering about that, too, if maybe the Ukraine war was being prolonged to keep Russia tied down so that they couldn't send resources to help Iran, that all these things are really tied in pretty firmly together.
Yeah, but the Germans didn't blow up our own pipeline.
I think the official version is that there were some Ukrainian partisans, but everybody knows that it was done by heavy help of the United States.
So it was in the interest of the United States that Russia can sell the gas cheap directly to Europe.
This is no secret.
Even the former ambassador, the American ambassador to Denmark said it was her most important task to somehow avoid that this pipeline goes online, you know, that it works.
unidentified
So we don't need to discuss about this, but it's all part of the same trend, right?
Well, what was more important are two other things.
First, that the German government just turned down all the nuclear power plants in the country.
So they switched off six modern new nuclear power plants in a time when several hundred power plants are running around the world, China, the United States, everybody's building new because we will need it, desperately need it, not only for our industry, but also for the new, you know, like artificial intelligence needs so much energy.
Even Microsoft Bill Gates is buying his own nuclear power plant because he knows that he will need it for Microsoft.
And the Germans, they destroyed six nuclear power plants and the rise, of course, the prices of energy, they were rocketing high.
And in addition to that, the European Union exposed sanctions, completely stupid sanctions against Russia.
And this way, we've got energy prices.
They are double or triple higher than in the United States or in the world.
And this is destroying, absolutely destroying German industry.
And as this article is actually quotes AFD politician Kristen Abel, Mercedes-Benz is sold for German engineering excellence and Germany's economic upswing for decades.
Yet, like so many other automakers, the company is cutting jobs in Germany and expanding to other countries.
As a result, the entire production of the A-Class is being relocated to Hungary.
20,000 employees are expected to lose their jobs as a result.
And of course, if you're doing all of this on the basis of climate change anyway, the end result of this is you're empowering places like China that have no controls and are building a power plant a week, a coal power plant a week there.
So it's just, it's nonsense on every level.
And it just seems like the German people are just being screwed over relentlessly from every aspect of the government.
And it's really brutal.
But people are waking up to this, right?
AFD, the ultimate irony, gets declared domestic terrorists and told that they're aren't going to be allowed to be a party because they're so popular, because they're rising in the ranks, because the polls show that they're the most popular party.
Now the government is coming in to shut it down.
A complete betrayal of democracy.
Is that affecting the rise of AFD?
Is that being a problem for y'all?
Or are people still finding you and voting for you because they realize how bad it is?
I mean, is the awakening in Europe effectively changing the political landscape?
Well, I do, you know, we have our complaints about the Trump administration ourselves over here, but the speech from JD Vance, I think, has been one of the most groundbreaking things the Trump administration did.
It was early on last year, but JD Vance going and saying, what are you fighting for?
Pointing out the hypocrisy of claiming to fight for democracy while you're not a democracy.
I mean, I thought that was amazing.
And I love what Trump is doing to try to bring or retain free speech there in Europe.
But there's a problem, isn't it, that people still trust the system.
You know, you're talking about back in the day when the Iron Curtain was down, the Soviet, you know, they let the propaganda come over because nobody trusted it, right?
And it's like, okay, if the Soviets are calling something bad, it's probably good.
But people still have a trust in the German media landscape.
So I guess when, or, you know, political landscape, so when they're told AFD are dangerous, you know, extremists, they're going to believe that because they haven't quite accepted the fact that we are in a Soviet-level media landscape right now, where it should be assumed that when the government or the media doesn't like something, it's because they're actually good in fighting for you.
But that, I mean, how are people still falling for these lies when their own eyes betray them?
How do you go walk around downtown Frankfurt?
You're surrounded by non-Germans.
You're surrounded by foreigners speaking foreign languages, but it never clicks to them that this is like a deliberate plan?
I mean, how do you get to the point where people can recognize that the media is lying to them?
They are the population, there's the population in Eastern Germany, which experience such lies, such propaganda in public media during the communist system.
And they remember it very well.
And this is the reason why the AFD is so strong in the states formerly being the German Democratic Republic.
We have over 40% in somewhere, 36, 40%.
We are really the number one that we will win the elections there.
And they have the other part in the Western Germany who grow up in democracy and believing that the television is saying the truth, which was in former time, it was like this.
And they can't believe that the system turned into something really bad.
And this is mostly the old generation.
Those people, 60 plus.
They are still watching the old TV.
They believing it.
But there is hope.
There are more and more people, especially young people, who already are watching independent free media, who are getting their information through the internet.
And they are more and more waking up.
We are the strongest party also within the young target group, within the first voters who are 18 years old.
They going the first time to the elections.
So they are voting for the AFD.
So this is the hope for the future.
The young people are not believing the mainstream media.
And the old people, they dying away.
So it will be, there is also a biological solution for the problem.
You know, at the beginning, they always said, ah, come on.
We should let the populace invite them to discussions and then we will destroy them because they are just saying some populist phrases and we have the facts.
But they stop it very, very fast because they were losing in any discussions.
So they turn around and they are now trying just to forbid us.
They fearing any discussions.
They avoiding any competition.
They just trying to blackmail.
No, not trying.
They are blackmailing us and are trying to forbid us because this is the only way for them how to avoid losing the elections against us.
German premier calls out social media censorship sparks or calls for social media censorship.
Sparks outcry.
This was the CDU, Prime Minister of Schleswig-Holstein, pardon my pronunciation, publicly urged tighter state regulation of media outlets and social networks, declaring that some platforms are opponents and enemies of democracy.
They love invoking that word, no matter how inaccurate their usage is.
And they're predicating this on protecting democracy.
They also mention protecting minors from disinformation and sexual assault.
In the UK, it was we have to stop minors from learning about how to commit suicide.
In Australia, it's anti-Semitism.
They have all these different excuses, right?
But really, it's all about, as you pointed out, stopping the political opposition from these things being imposed.
Again, do you think any of these things are valid?
Like, what do you think about the excuses that they use?
Like saying, oh, we have to stop minors from seeing sexual material.
The communists were also claiming they were saying, oh, we are protecting the democracy.
What democracy?
Why do you need censorship?
No, we have free speech.
Everybody may say everything he wants to.
There are already existing laws.
If you are offending somebody and so on.
So we have really good laws, but you don't need additional laws forbidding people to say something.
And you did a good example because they're saying that for protection of minors, they're pushing for a law which is called Digital Services Act in the whole European Union.
And this Digital Services Act would enable the government to read everything you have on your mobile phone.
To read everything you write on your mobile phone or your pictures, your videos, really everything.
And I don't, and it doesn't mean when you send it to somebody via WhatsApp or Telegram or something.
No, before.
So they would be scanning the whole private phones, even not the communication between the people, but what you have in your phone.
And they are saying, yeah, this is because of the protection of the minors.
We are fighting the pornography and so on and so on.
In a way, it's almost just a different spot on the spectrum towards Iran.
I mean, Europe's not the point that they're blasting Starlink satellites out of space yet.
But obviously, it's incrementalism.
And you're getting to the point that you can look at Iran and be enraged at all the censorship and oppression that goes on there.
But Europe is well on its way.
I mean, it's headed down that track.
I have a couple of stories, specifically in the UK.
They seem to be leading the charge on a lot of this.
But UK orders Ofcom to enforce encryption backdoors.
This is what you're talking about, how even things that are encrypted, they actually have to get access to it before it's encrypted.
So they'll have backdoors basically on every device that's used.
UK expands Online Safety Act to mandate preemptive scanning of digital communications.
That's what you're talking about.
Preemptive scanning.
A major expansion of the UK's Online Safety Act, which is just a national version of the DSA, which is applied across the whole continent, has taken effect, legally obliging digital platforms to deploy surveillance-style systems that scan, detect, and block user content before it can be seen.
Hi, I'm Robert F. Kennedy Jr., your HHS secretary.
Today I want to tell you about a letter that I just sent to Germany's federal minister of health, Nina Workin, because what's happening in Germany right now demands a clear public response from the United States of America.
I've learned that more than a thousand German physicians and thousands of their patients now face prosecution and punishment for issuing exemptions from wearing masks or getting COVID-19 vaccines during the pandemic.
When any government criminalizes doctors for advising their patients, it crosses the line that free societies have always treated as sacred.
In my letter, I explain that Germany is targeting physicians who put their patients first and punishing citizens for making their own medical choices.
The German government is now violating the sacred patient-physician relationship, replacing it with a dangerous system that makes physicians enforcers of state policies.
Your health is no longer your doctor's priority under this system.
Your doctor instead is serving the welfare of the collective as determined by unelected technocrats with no medical training.
Anybody can see the danger in this system.
No democracy grounded in confidence and transparency should move in that direction.
Patients must always have the freedom to make personal medical decisions without coercion or political pressure.
That principle forms the bedrock of every democratic nation.
But the reports coming out of Germany show a government sidelining patient autonomy and limiting people's abilities to act on their own convictions when they face medical decisions.
During the COVID era, governments across the world expanded their authority.
Even in America, doctors were unjustly attacked for challenging the status quo.
Germany followed that same pattern, and now doctors who raised questions or challenged official directives face conviction, the loss of their licenses, and even exile from their professions.
Many of these physicians took personal and professional risks because they believed that their duty to their patients required it.
They stood by their Hippocratic oath at a moment when the government institutions demanded strict conformity with state dictators.
Actions like these erode public trust.
They weaken the credibility of medical institutions and legal systems meant to protect the public.
When decisions arise out of fear rather than open dialogue, societies pay the price long afterward.
And that's why I urge the German government to change courses, to end these prosecutions, to restore unjustly revoked licenses, to stop punishing doctors who acted in good faith and serve their patients with integrity, and to let determined people make their own informed medical decisions.
Germany has long held a respected place in the global community as a nation committed to democratic values and human rights.
Policies that suppress dissent, that silence speech, that criminalize medical decision-making undermine that legacy.
A confident government listens to its citizens.
A free society protects the rights to think, the rights of question, and the right to choose.
In my letter, I made it clear that Germany has the opportunity and the responsibility to correct this trajectory, to restore medical autonomy, to end politically motivated prosecutions, and to uphold the rights that anchor every democratic nation.
History will record how leaders respond at moments like this.
If I showed it on camera, they would have arrested him.
I'm pretty sure that's.
That's how that works.
I always tell the story because my wife, but she was my girlfriend at the time, was in Germany for a semester and she carried around a little pocket knife because she's from America and is like walking around taking public transportation.
I think that is a lot of the sentiment, especially for people that weren't in the military and didn't fight, right?
And then I look at it as like, well, you know, last 10, 20 years on this earth, other people get to fight for my political ideology and I don't have to put skin in the game.
Easy to cheer for something you don't actually have to do yourself.
Okay, this is from Trump.
This was just minutes ago.
Effective immediately, any country doing business with the Islamic Republic of Iran will pay a tariff of 25% on any and all business being done in the United States.
This order is final and conclusive.
So that's what President Trump says.
As again, every time I look at X, there's like 10 more warnings of the State Department saying get out of Iran.
And it's such a, frankly, it's a betrayal of everything Trump represented from the very first time that he made his political down.
Yeah, walk down the escalator.
The first, I mean, the first moment that he really set himself apart in my eyes was that first debate where he went off about Jeb Bush and the war in Iraq.
We're like, look, you can be the figurehead for the party.
You can be the guy that everyone wants to shake the hand of, the guy that everyone wants to hang out with, the guy that gets to make all the deals and be friends with all the rich, powerful, influential people.
But we're still going to do our deep state agenda.
You can limit or suppress or however you want to phrase it, but there are main programs like those Epstein files that you're not allowed to mess with.
You're not allowed to touch.
And it's like Putin says, ultimately, when the men in the black suits and not red or blue ties, but black ties or whatever he says, when they come in and they tell you, what's what?
What are you supposed to do?
And I genuinely buy the excuse, the first administration, of him not having good people in office, like good people that he appointed, right?
I can buy that.
But coming back after the indictments, after the political persecution, after, you know, maybe it was a decade of the Russia hoax that made him go a little loopy about just exactly who was his friend and who was his enemy.
Because he went through hell.
And that's one of the biggest reasons why I find it so hard now to really not be in that Trump supporter category anymore is because I defended him for a decade because you'd hear just the most insane brain rot garbage from just normal average people.
Trump, he's a Russian agent, is he?
Russia's bad and they control our government.
It's like, well, like, you know, that's all fake.
And Hillary Clinton paid for that fusion GPS dossier.
And there was a Mueller report, Mueller investigation for years and years and years.
Nothing ever came of it.
But that's what people would say is Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, 24-7.
And they still say it to this day.
So when I try to have an elevated political conversation about this and why I'm upset, you still get the same canned response from that time period, which makes me think it had some effect on him and how he's processed things.
That is very interesting because now it's sort of the inverse where it's Israel, Israel, Israel, Trump's an Israel puppet.
Now, I think it's more nuanced than that.
I completely understand that Trump does everything Israel wants.
And a lot of stuff that we see Trump do, like the invasion of Venezuela, I think has much more to do with Israel than just about any of the other excuses that they give us.
So I'm not trying to downplay that at all.
At the same time, I see or I am interpreting the behind the scenes drama that's going on with Signal Gate.
They're trying to oust Pete Hegseth.
Mike Waltz is communicating with Netanyahu behind the scenes before the negotiations.
I don't think Trump is like ideologically dedicated to Israel.
I think that he is trying to placate them while also trying to not get into full war with Iran.
I mean, and I think probably the biggest asset he had in that was Charlie Kirk.
And now that Charlie Kirk has been removed from the scene forcibly, there's nobody in Trump's here telling him we don't go to war with Iran.
Well, that's the point I want to make is like people look at our broadcast and I think, especially you, you've just been so on the ball, on the target, covering the entire story, really covering the Gaza story, kind of like Charlie would cover it and how Charlie would talk about it.
And there's that famous video you see it a lot in short video format.
I think it's from PBD, where he's talking about the border and he's talking about October 7th and just it not making sense.
And there's got to be a stand down here for this to happen.
So again, when you look at, we look at the Charlie Kirk phenomenon, clearly he was moving away from Israel for a while.
Like it's like if you are motivated by Charlie Kirk's legacy and you want to like honor him, right?
I think the number one thing you should be doing is protesting against the war in Iran.
I mean, whether you believe that's why he died, whether you believe that Israel killed him so they could get the war with Iran, it's sort of beside the point.
The thing that has happened is the guy who was in Trump's ear actually risking his own like position, his own power, his own influence to tell Trump, don't go to war with Iran.
This is a bad idea.
Nobody wants this.
You're going to destroy your own legacy and America at the same time.
Charlie's not here to make that argument anymore.
So nobody's in Trump's ear telling him that.
And it seems like he has just completely lost any connection to the people.
I think Charlie Kirk was a very important vector for that.
Because ultimately, Kirk, Trump, they were offering people something different, right?
They were offering people something different than the left-right dichotomy, right?
They were offering a world beyond that, a world of not a third party in the traditional sense where you have Democrat, Republican, a third party that comes in and sweeps.
You have the takeover and the reclamation, supposedly, of the Republican Party and of conservatism as an identity.
And unfortunately, when I said that we had seen that from both of them, Trump has stopped doing it and Charlie Kirk has died.
This is a learning experience for both me and the audience.
You know, I wasn't informed of this until Bezazel Smotrich told me that I didn't know a lot about demolition and reconstruction and building resorts on top of graves or cemeteries.
I guess it's what a casino is at the end of the day, right?
Bezazel Smotrich, the Israeli finance minister, explained to me that deconstruction or demolition is the most expensive part of building any new thing.
So it's good that it's happening now during the war.
And as much property and as much buildings exist to be destroyed.
So They're just, it's part of the process to build the Trump Gaza, to build the resort.
It's like even in their own countries, the people don't want them in charge.
So it is this cabal of psychopaths that are all like hardcore dedicated to the Greater Israel Project that are sitting on top of all of these populations that don't want them to be in leadership, but they are.
And so they're imposing free speech restrictions and all these other controls to sanitize safety.
He actually went to personally deliver the eviction notices to the people who have been in the West Bank for the last thousand years because it's a thrill.
And don't you think that is part of it where like the Lindsey Grahams of the world, they would love if it was socially acceptable to be that way for America, but it's not.
So they're just that way for Israel.
Like they want to be like, you know, when they see Mexico or whatever, they want to just be like, go in there, kill them all, brutalize them all.
But they can't do that because that's not the way the media landscape treats these things.
And I almost think that was like a, it's almost like a signal from Trump, like, guys, I don't want this and I have no ability to stop it.
And that's really what I think is the lesson that can be learned from the Trump administration is literally, it doesn't matter if the person in power that you voted for, that is, the president wants to stop it or not.
It goes on regardless.
We do not have a democracy, we do not have representation.
That's really what it's the truth, and you know people will go, oh Infowars, ah.
And then like you hear a message like that from you and like that's my message too.
Right is like we have a right to have agency within our own government.
We have a right to have a representative democracy or republic where someone that you vote for actually represents your interests at the state and national level, but instead, what we have is people that represent the interests of corporations and Foreign countries ahead of our own.
But I mean, that is such an important thing, right?
Is that no president who we will ever elect will be cheered by both parties.
You would think that the thing that would unite the American Congress would be pro-Americanism.
You would think that like somebody who came out and gave a speech that was just pro-America and America's the best, everybody from both parties would rise.
Why don't we just try someone new like Fishback or Aaron Baker or one of these new candidates?
Why don't we just try someone that's never been in office before?
We did that one time.
The guy was a billionaire.
It may have been a little wonky or a little zany, but let's try it again.
Let's try people that stated mission is to do things like term limits, like reforming Congress, like actually using the checks and balances available to that branch of government.
Well, we were just talking about the fact that yesterday I talked about Patagonia, the accusations being made that Israelis are posing as tourists, IDF members going in and starting fires in Patagonia, and that it is because it's part of the, it's the same thing happened to Lahaina and the Pacific Palisades.
Within the first minute, I say, like I just did, Israelis are being accused of doing this.
And then every comment underneath is like, why aren't you saying who's doing this?
Why are you covering up for the Israelis?
So it's just, it's part of the frustration of being info wars, actually talking honestly, forthrightly, and frankly, bravely about this very sensitive topic, only to have people not listen to us and then claim that we're doing the exact opposite.
We need to take those slogans back because they're good.
Say her or his name and then rest in power.
Rest in power, Gonzalo Lira, who fought against an evil Ukrainian security police and a terror regime, really, to get honest journalism out of that country and then was put into camp and ultimately killed for what he did.
He's trying to bike and escape out of the country.
Let's go to clip 28 here because really this year for us, at least the beginning part of the year, needs to be about identifying outside politicians and dethroning some of the worst Rhino Republicans like Lindsey Graham or in this case, Randy Fine.
Randy Fine has a challenger who I'd love to get on the show and talk to him.
Because honestly, anybody would be better than Randy Fine.
But whether it's Lindsey Graham or Randy Fine, or, hell, there are some good people like Ron DeSantis, but he's not going to be governor anymore.
Fishback is the guy for me, Casey Push in Ohio.
We've already had a couple of these guys on, but we're going to double down on this effort because if we are going to not fall into civil war, then we need the right people representing us.
And we really would be able to solve all of these problems like in a day, in a day or two.
There's a new political action committee, and it is the inverse of APAC.
It is the Anti-APAC Political Action Committee, A-Z-A PAC.
And they just made this commercial for against Randy Fine and in favor of Aaron Baker.
Let's watch.
unidentified
Randy Fine, a morally bankrupt monster who gleefully celebrates the slaughter of innocent children, fuels deadly violence and shamelessly boasts about it online.
This is no leader.
This is a danger.
Even APAC, the pro-Israel powerhouse, briefly disowned this Israel-obsessed fanaticism.
To think that someone like this elect the Japanese is beyond anything.
And I go, look, I want all these people out of the freaking country.
I want them all gone.
But the way you do it is you set up a program that's so good and so efficient and so reasonable that it can be carried over administration to administration to administration to eventually, oh, well, you know, it couldn't solve the problem in four years.
I mean, you look at Israel is a great example of that, right?
And look at the people that support Israel.
They go, look, we know what we're doing is wrong.
We know somewhere deep down inside, we know that it's wrong.
So in order to make sure to minimize risk, we're going to do it as quick as possible, as grotesque as possible, as violent as possible, and then hope we can just get away in time before the metaphysical police show up.
You know, I think it could be that obviously the Jewish diaspora and the control systems like APAC or, you know, the ADL, they require anti-Semitism, so-called, quote-unquote.
But also, I think that comes with feeling that it's wrong also and needing to get it over with so that then I've heard Keaton and Russell on Due Dissidence, excellent show, Due Dissidence.
I've heard them make this point numerous times.
They'll go, oh, you know, it's just like the Native Americans will build a statue.
We'll build a statue in a few years.
It was sad what had to happen.
But instead of something being centuries ago, it'll be a couple decades ago.
And I mean, at the end of the day, they're just going to do what they want to do regardless.
And I think that's sort of the most depressing upset.
I don't know what the term is, but the fact that, I mean, for two years, it's been genocide being carried out in real time that we've all witnessed and nobody can stop them.
and uh we refuse to be party to it by you know like voting for trump again you know it's like we've sort of do what you said you were gonna do do what you said you were gonna do why why Why aren't we right now in the Arctic with the Russians exploring the reserves there, the hundreds of trillions or however much money it is and rare earths and metals and oil and gas?
Why aren't we using their sub-zero extraction technique, which we don't have?
We've been offered this deal.
We didn't take it.
Instead, we go, okay, future trillions are worth for the country.
We don't want that.
We want to spend 300 billion fighting you and killing Ukrainian people to fight you because we won't fight you ourselves.
And it's just the most cowardly, pathetic, and sick thing I have ever seen in my entire observation of politics because we knew the prior people were bad.
We knew Obama, Bush, Biden.
We knew they're bad.
We have hope for this guy because he said the right stuff.
And it's also like, you know, part of the part of the trick of being democratic or having a republic is like, well, at the end of the day, it's kind of our fault because we put these people in place.
And that's the reason I said, like, you know, voting for Trump was a vote against war in the Middle East.
And every time, nope, sorry, we're keeping them on the back burner.
We got to keep them in reserve so we can start a war out of nowhere in order to start World War III.
Like that's always been the plan.
That's why Russia was always kept on the back burner.
That's why they weren't allowed to be embraced fully as a European nation, even though they got rid of communism and purged all of their oligarchs under Putin.
It's still not good enough, which the Ukrainians never did, by the way.
The Ukrainian oligarchs never got purged in the way that Putin purged the Russian ones.
Yeah, maybe that's actually sort of the underlying reason why Ukraine's in war right now.
But let's go to clip number four here because this is Israeli media talking about what Israel plans to do if and when the Iranian regime falls.
And again, I want to remind you before we go to this video, clip number four, they want to cleanse Syria of Christians, a community speaks of betrayal, terror, and exile.
Let's watch.
You can bring it up on screen.
I'll read it.
Let's start it over so I can read the subtitles here.
He says, I'll tell you, a year and two months ago, there was Operation Arrow of Syria.
Okay, the regime has fallen.
Do you remember what happened 20 minutes after Assad took off on a plane to Russia?
The state of Israel turned Syria into one big shooting ring.
True, but not some beautiful Freudian mistake.
I really hope that the United States will do this.
And that means Iran's story, as far as I'm concerned, becomes hopeful.
A significant strategic threat to the state of Israel will very soon become history.
So do you see what he's saying?
He's saying that when Syria fell, Israel immediately bombed the hell out of every nation.
And like, I would want to maybe show that video to the Iran protesters.
Like, again, I get if you're under this oppressive regime, I feel for the people that do want to be free and don't want to be controlled by a religious extremist sort of state.
On the other hand, I also wouldn't want to be bombed to hell by Israel when my people fall.
So that's the weird thing.
They want the protests to succeed.
Well, they're out there going, as soon as these protests succeed, we're bombing all of them.
I had Suleiman Ahmed on last night, a Muslim gentleman, and I was talking to him about this.
And we're like, what's making people mad in Iran?
Like, what are the protests about?
And it seems to be they're mad at the government of Iran meeting the president because of inflation and a very bad drought.
It doesn't seem like it's directed towards the supreme leader in the same way as it's directed towards the Iranian president.
So for us in the West to see a video of a girl lighting a cigarette with a burning photo of the Ayatollah, and then it comes out that's from Canada and that's from three years ago.
Here's the thing.
I am tired of the Star Wars story.
Whenever I see it, whenever I see, oh, the rebel alliance versus the empire, whenever I see it, now it's a political figure telling me it, I reject it.
I'm like, this is not true.
So when I see this being pushed, I'm like, hey, it's not our fight, number one.
And then number two, you're asking us to commit to it morally.
You're like, this is our responsibility to do.
But it's a guy in Israel saying it's good for his state.
So why can't they just do it?
Why can't they just do it?
Netanyahu says he wants to have his own defense industry.
Why can't they just do that now?
Why do they need to wait 10 years to extract the last of our wealth?
Why can't they just do it now?
This is from three years ago.
This is from Canada.
And then you got people saying this is happening now in the streets.
Yeah, and it's really hard to tell what to believe.
But of course, I don't think it's a coincidence that basically, as soon as Iran got a handle on the Starlink situation from OSINT Defender, Iran's digital blackout has now developed military jammers to shut down access to Starlink.
Despite reports that tens of thousands of Starlink units are operating inside Iran, the blackout has also reached satellite connections.
It's reported that about 30% of Starlink's uplink and downlink traffic was initially disrupted, quickly rising to more than 80%, according to the Iranian opposition news outlet, Iran Wire.
As soon as that communication to the international forces gets cut off, the riots sort of die down and flame out.
So it's, you know, a lot of people are pointing at this and going, yeah, as soon as the actors inside stop getting direction from Israel, they didn't know what to do anymore.

They want us off the air because they want to shut down focal points of organizations that hold the Trump administration's feet to the fire and warn Trump and warn his advisors and have a big effect and big pull, as the administrations have said, and as the Democrats have said.
