Another Epstein Arrest — In The UK — As Ex-UK Ambassador To US Lord Mandelson Perp Walked! PLUS, State Dept. Orders Diplomats in Lebanon To Leave As Trump Mulls Iran Strikes – Must/Watch Share!
Prince Andrew’s 2019 arrest over Epstein-linked emails—allegedly sharing UK government secrets (2010–2011)—ignites fresh scrutiny amid Trump’s distracted focus: Iran strikes, Venezuela, and even Israel’s divisive conquest claims under Mike Huckabee’s "Gog and Magog" rhetoric. Meanwhile, Mexico’s cartel chaos—triggered by El Mincho’s assassination—strands Americans, exposes U.S. embassy shelter-in-place orders, and risks supply chain collapse, mirroring fears of domestic instability. Epstein’s hidden storage units, now tied to Mandelson’s perp walk, reveal systemic corruption, with UK grooming gang cover-ups labeled "rapeocracy" by survivors detailing police complicity. The episode ties elite hypocrisy, foreign interventions, and unchecked violence into a warning: unchecked moral decay and misplaced priorities could erode both nations’ foundations.

Well, knowing him as I know him, and he's one of the greatest men I've ever met in my life, and my best friend, and great father to my children, I just thought, I don't understand in this day and age how people can make salacious lies up.
This is defamation of character of a person that is the opposite of how he's being portrayed.
The Epstein fallout, raining like molten disgust from the sky, is so widespread that the panic amongst the normies has cracked wide open, while the scramble to close Pandora's box by the ghoulish establishment continues to ramp up.
The pseudo-British monarch, ye pseudo, because they are actually German, is again under fire as King Charles, longtime pal of the late cadaver raping pedophile Jimmy Seville, watches his disgraced brother Prince Andrew get hauled in by police amid the latest Epstein file dumps.
The UK elite, essentially a pedo class at this point.
unidentified
Oh, no, some people want the age of consent to be four.
What?
What country is this?
UK, our nation, yes.
If you look at the people who are involved in the pedophile information exchange, which was most, um, had most of its power probably from the 70s onwards, 80s, 90s.
They had funding from the Home Office in the 90s.
Those people are still around.
In fact, one of the members of the pedophile information exchange is the treasurer of Edinburgh Pride.
Some of them are academics and they look very, very, you know, professional as they're talking about the importance of, you know, giving children their own autonomy.
Tom O'Carroll is a self-confessed, unrepentant pedophile and one of the founding members of the pedophile information exchange.
He now shies away from advocating the age of four.
The age of four came into it insofar as children by that age are normally verbal and can normally say whether they are liking a particular kind of activity or not.
Andrew Mountbotton Windsor was arrested on his ominous 66th birthday of suspicion of misconduct in public office tied to his Epstein connections and espionage against the state that can carry a life sentence.
Ghillaine Maxwell's family have seen fit to comment.
Astonished to see Andrew Mountbatten Windsor arrested today over alleged misconduct in public office linked to material from the so-called so-called Epstein files.
You are related to a woman who has been charged with sex trafficking crimes and you are saying allegedly called the Epstein files.
He is entitled to the presumption of innocence and a fair process.
What fair process have any of the victims of your relative Ghillain Maxwell received?
Andrew was held for 12 hours, then released under investigation with cops raiding his former homes the next day.
Fresh emails show him allegedly sharing sensitive UK government information about trips to Southeast Asia and Afghan investments with Epstein back in 2010 to 2011 during his trade rep days.
I'm your host, Harrison Smith, coming to you live this Monday afternoon, the 25th, 23rd or rather of February 2006.
We got a lot to talk about in Mexico absolutely exploding into Civil War level violence.
We also have some updates to what's going on in the Middle East as we made it through yet another weekend without starting World War III.
Congratulations, everybody.
We all deserve a pat on the back for that.
We're going to be joined by Dan Dix in the next segment.
He's on the ground in Mexico, has a firsthand view of what has gone down over the last 24 hours.
Absolute, complete insanity.
And there's some good news when it comes to the Olympics and how despite the left's attempts to degrade and destroy these lovely things that we have like the Olympics, still the patriotism and the excellence of American athletes shines through.
And we had a really amazing victory with hockey and multiple gold medals in figure skating with the new star Alyssa Liu.
And there's a lot of controversy, a lot of debate around whether you're allowed to like her or not.
We'll settle that discussion here, I think.
The answer is she's ours.
We own her.
The left doesn't get to appreciate the Olympics, actually.
Actually, the left doesn't get to participate in the Olympics at all, as far as I'm concerned.
It is literally everything they hate.
If you think about it for 10 seconds, what is the Olympics?
The Olympics is a celebration of national pride.
It's a competition that is gendered.
Males compete against males.
Females compete against females.
There's reality there.
You don't get extra points because of how you were born.
You don't let the less competent ahead of you in line.
No, it's actually pure excellence, pure measurable differences and judging one thing better than another.
Leftists don't get to participate in this.
I'm sorry.
You don't even get to pretend.
All right.
You don't like nation states.
You don't like gender division.
You don't like judging things on the basis of reality.
You don't get to have fun at the Olympics.
We do.
You get to do the opening ceremony and the closing ceremony, and you get to fill it with all sorts of satanic antichrist transgender nonsense.
But when it comes to the actual event, that's ours, and everybody participating belongs to us, the Patriots, okay?
They're on our side.
They're waving the American flag.
Now, people like that Goo woman, I can't remember her first name, but her last name is Goo, okay?
And she grew up in America, benefited from American excellence, and now chooses to compete for China.
She should be sent back to China.
She should be sent home.
She's a traitor.
So the Olympics is a great place where there's very hard lines.
Like you compete for us or you compete for them.
And I've always thought it'd be funny to do like a future Olympics thing because it has degraded to a certain degree with the amount of immigration everywhere.
Like in a future globalist world, you'd watch the Olympics and you'd watch the 200-meter race and it'd be a Kenyan in an American uniform, a Kenyan in a UK uniform, a Kenyan in a French unicorn uniform, a Kenyan in an African German uniform, and just a bunch of Kenyans competing against each other.
And then we get to go, oh, America won with our Kenyan.
Yeah, it doesn't make any sense, actually.
It makes even less sense if you then have every competition dominated by men.
And it's like the men's freestyle competition.
And it's a bunch of men doing it.
And then the women's freestyle competition.
And it's a bunch of less capable men competing against each other.
So we'll talk about all this as well.
The culture wars are alive.
And once again, we're reminded that any show of patriotism, any celebration of human achievement, of purity, of beauty, it all flies in the face of the left who want to tear all of this down.
So they're trying to act like this 20-year-old girl winning the ice skating gold medal.
She has gone to a Palestinian protest.
They're like, you're supposed to hate her.
You're supposed to hate this girl because she disagrees with you about one thing.
And we're just like, do you see what she's holding?
Do you see what she's draping over her shoulders?
That's our flag.
She's one of us.
So shut the hell up and go away.
We aren't like you.
This is the issue.
The left thinks we're like them.
The left does genuinely hate anybody that disagrees with them on anything.
And they're very confused at why we don't also feel that way.
Sorry she has some views, which, by the way, I agree with when it comes to Palestine.
But even if she was woke, even if she, you know, is whatever, she's a 20-year-old figure skater.
We don't look to her for our political views, obviously.
We don't need that.
No, no, we've got intelligent people who spend their lives investigating this stuff.
She is a great figure skater, and we celebrate her for that and honor her hard work in that realm.
This is very confusing to the leftists who see everything as intrinsically political.
Didn't mean to get off on that little tangent there because I got videos to show you on all that and we'll get into it in a real way in just a moment.
But let's begin today, as we do every day, with our Daily Dispatch.
All right, here it is, folks.
Your daily dispatch for Monday, the 23rd of February, 2026.
Law enforcement kills armed man seeking to enter Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, officials say.
The U.S. Secret Service and local police shot and killed a man armed with a shotgun early on Sunday after he breached a secure perimeter at President Trump's Mar-a-Lago Resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
Law enforcement officials said Trump, who's currently in Washington, was not at the site at the time.
The man in Sunday's incident was identified as Austin Tucker Martin, 21 from North Carolina.
According to a source familiar with the investigation, Martin was reported missing within the last few days, according to the source.
Now, he apparently has been obsessed.
This shooter guy, this guy who tried to sneak into Mar-a-Lago with a shotgun, had been obsessed with the Epstein documents and particularly Trump being involved in the Epstein documents.
So it looks like we have yet another radical potential or attempted assassin radicalized by the stochastic terror and lies of the left.
We'll get into that more later.
Meanwhile, Mexican military kills cartel boss El Mincho in U.S.-backed raid.
One of Mexico's most notorious drug lords, Nemesio Oseguera or El Mincho, was killed in a military raid on Sunday, sparking widespread retaliatory violence.
President Claudia Scheinbaum has been under mounting pressure from Washington to intensify her offense against the drug cartels blamed for producing and smuggling drugs, particularly the synthetic opioid fentanyl across the border to the U.S.
And of course, that's a ridiculous request because she's owned by the cartels, obviously.
The last two presidents of Mexico, both, despite living in a country that experiences literally hundreds of murders every time an election happens.
Literally hundreds of reporters and candidates and politicians.
They all get murdered every time Mexico has a nationwide election.
Yet somehow the last two presidents have forsworn and not even walked around with security guards.
So you live in a country that is replete with corruption, with people murdering politicians on a regular basis, but you don't even have bodyguards.
That's probably because you're in with the violent people that do the killing.
If I had to guess.
Yeah, we'll get into what exactly has happened in Mexico.
But it's just, if you were watching the show last week, you already know, you already know what I have to say, that Mexico is America with its corruption meter ticked up about three points.
And, you know, people have this idea that, you know, America is just Mexico with less food or whatever.
You know, less spicy food.
But it's like, no, no, no, no.
Mexico is a hellhole.
It is an absolute chaos of victimization and tyranny.
It's really a dangerous and dreadful place.
And we're turning into them, so let's not do that.
There's a reason why we don't have running battles of cartel armies in our streets because we don't stand for the corruption like Mexico does.
There's a reason that, you know, Texas isn't Mexico.
It goes back to the Alamo.
The fact that a bunch of Anglos decided to fight for control of this land.
And so it's not a hellhole of cartels and human trafficking and drug manufacturing and dead bodies hanging from light poles and random outbreaks of massive unrestrained violence against civilian populations because the leader of a drug gang gets kidnapped.
See, we're not like that because we have some constitutional differences in our people, not differences in the Constitution.
I mean, in the definitional word, constitution.
Our makeup is different.
We're a little bit different in our spirit and what we value and what we are willing to put up with or not, what we champion as a culture.
Again, we don't need to spend a lot of time on Texas Revolution, but I did post something about the Alamo yesterday, and it's just, every time I do something like that, I'm just bombarded with misinformation about the Mexican Texas Revolution.
It's just absurd.
It's very annoying.
I'll just talk about one thing real quick because I saw somebody comment on my comment saying, this was about slavery.
The white people just wanted slaves and the Mexicans didn't want them to have slaves.
And if you believe that, you are the victim of the most obscene, blood libel, misinformation thought crime the world's ever seen.
I'm pretty sure nobody who gave their lives at the Alamo had slaves.
I guarantee you, Davey Crockett didn't have slaves.
Jim Bowie didn't have slaves.
These people didn't have slaves.
What the hell are you talking about?
Not only what the hell are you talking about, these people didn't have slaves, but also, do you know like 15 provinces of Mexico all went into revolution when Santa Ana got in charge?
Santa was a dictator of Mexico and half of the Mexican states rebelled against him.
And he didn't go to Texas first.
First, he went to like Zapata or something and crushed them ruthlessly and then let his soldiers rape and pillage their own people for two weeks straight.
Then they came to the Alamo and couldn't get past 186 men for two weeks because we're better than them, I think is what the answer is.
Anyway, we're going to get back into later, but there's just so many lies about our history.
And the biggest lie, perhaps in all of it, is that it doesn't matter.
Is that, yeah, you know, they won the Alamo, they lost the Alamo.
Like, what does it really matter, right?
I mean, these things are ancient history.
And it's like, well, the reason it matters is because, I don't know, I can still walk around at night in Austin and not be decapitated by a criminal gang using weapons that they got from Ukraine via NATO.
It's like, yeah, it's actually a very big difference.
It was actually a miracle what happened.
Anyway, we'll get back into that.
Meanwhile, more consequences for the Jeffrey Epstein list.
In the UK alone, apparently, former UK Ambassador Mandelson has been arrested after Epstein revelations.
Former British ambassador to the U.S., Peter Mandelsohn, was arrested by London police on Monday on suspicion of misconduct in public office following revelations over his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Mandelson, 72, was fired from the most prestigious posting in Britain's diplomatic service in September when the depth of his friendship with Epstein started to become clear.
Police earlier this month began a criminal investigation into Mandelson after the Prime Minister Kier Starmer's government passed on communications between the former ambassador and Epstein.
Officers have arrested the 72-year-old man on suspicion of misconduct.
Mandelson was filmed leaving his central London home accompanied by plainclothes police officers wearing body cameras before being driven away in a car.
The arrest means police suspect a crime has been committed but does not imply any guilt.
There was no immediate response from Mandelson's lawyers.
We'll get back into that here in just a minute as well.
In fact, I have a pretty good video explaining exactly what a big deal this is.
Then we have this and we have a response from Trump on this.
Donald Trump priorities questioned by majority of Americans.
Almost seven in 10 Americans say that President Trump is focusing on the wrong problems in the U.S., according to a poll released ahead of his State of the Union address on Tuesday.
In the CNN poll published Monday, 68% of respondents said that the president, quote, hasn't paid enough attention to the country's most important problems.
32% by comparison said that Trump has had all the right priorities.
The results come as Trump and the GOP are facing challenges over concerns about affordability, controversy surrounding files linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, two deaths at the hand of federal immigration authorities in Minnesota, and recent Democratic election victories, which include places like Texas where the Democrats are outvoting Republicans in the early voting that ends with the election on March 3rd for the primaries.
We'll get back to that and show you Trump's response to this.
He seems delusional and misled by the state of his administration.
And he seems like he genuinely thinks that his supporters are still very much approving of what he's doing and are still there.
It's very weird because for his entire political career, they have been lying about his support.
The mainstream media, the pollsters, everybody has been lying to Donald Trump about his support and saying, ah, you're unpopular.
And so I don't know if that's got him in this mindset of like, just don't believe anybody that tells you you're unpopular, but it's different this time.
It's different this time.
They're not lying.
No, we are upset.
You are focusing on the wrong things.
This isn't a mainstream media Democrat hoax.
This is real.
And hopefully he'll get that message when he meets with Tucker Carlson.
I think today they're supposed to be meeting.
And by speculating, he's, you know, Donald Trump is ushering in Tucker Carlson to give him a beat down and tell him to cool it with the anti-Semitism.
I wonder if that's really what's going on.
We'll get back to that later.
Meanwhile, and finally, President Trump congratulates U.S. hockey team on gold medal victory, invites them to the State of the Union address.
President Donald Trump called FBI Director Kash Patel following Sunday's morning's historic victory by the U.S. men's hockey team at the 2026 Winter Olympics so he could speak directly to the players as Patel attended the game in person and was partying in the U.S. locker room after the win.
The gold medal victory over Canada was the first U.S. men's hockey, first for U.S. men's hockey since the legendary 1980 Miracle on Ice game against the Soviet Union.
The president began by praising the team's goalie, Connor Hulbiuk, for his stellar performance before offering to send a military plane to pick up the hockey players and fly them to Washington, D.C. so they can attend Tuesday's State of the Union address, which was great.
And it's just great to see just some unmitigated and unqualified patriotism from a bunch of hockey players.
Let's go to clip number 37 here.
This was sort of the star hockey player.
This is the guy who won the scored the final goal in overtime, I believe.
Clip 37.
This is what it used to be like, folks.
For the kids watching, this is what it used to always be like.
This is like a blast from the past, but perhaps a bit of hope that we can reclaim our pride in the future.
We're not letting it happen, even though they're trying desperately to claim that we're not allowed to like her because she has some bad political views, but we're not listening to her.
And actually, her history is bizarre and fascinating.
She was one of five children of her father, who was a Chinese immigrant to America.
Her four younger sisters and her were all born via surrogate mothers using Arthur, her father's sperm, and anonymous egg donors from Caucasian donors, per reports.
This involved two surrogate mothers.
Arthur raised him as a single father by choice with help from his mother who moved from China to a sister.
The family structure has been widely reported in sources like NBC and People.
So kind of an odd, I don't know, it reminds me of the Venus and Serena Williams story where you get a dad that really wants to make their kids into all-star athletes, and you can actually succeed in that.
We'll touch on this a little bit more later because, again, I do think it's fascinating, the cultural confusion here and the left trying desperately to figure out why the right wing likes this girl, even though her hair is dyed and she has, you know, piercings.
And it's like, I don't know, because she's cool, because she's patriotic, because she's not a hateful, miserable person like all of you are.
He's actually in Mexico and has some firsthand eyewitness testimony about what happened yesterday.
We'll talk to him and about what Americans that are stuck there can do in this situation.
And it's a good reminder that our civilization is not as rock solid and permanent as we like to believe.
And it just takes an afternoon of destruction to mean that you are isolated and communicationless and at the mercy of a bunch of random lawless criminals.
So we'll talk to Dan Dix, who's been in that maelstrom here very shortly.
I do want to remind you to go to thealxjonesstore.com.
The AlexJones Starstore.com is the only way that we stay on air.
It's the only way that we continue this operation, continue these broadcasts and continue to cover the stories that matter to the world on a daily basis.
Go to the alexjonesur.com slash Harrison if you want to let them know who sent you.
And can we play that techno one again?
Can we just go out with Elisa Liu one more time?
Let's go to clip three here, clip four, whichever.
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
This is the War Room.
I'm your host, Harrison Smith, joined now by Dan Dix.
He is an activist, journalist, and award-winning filmmaker and the founder of Press for Truth.
You can follow him on X at DanDixPFT, and you can go to pressfortruth.ca in order to support and follow him.
As I understand it, they are now trying to open up the roads again, trying to allow buses and taxis and Ubers to travel again, trying to let people, you know, make their way to the airport if possible.
I think they're going to start allowing flights to take off again.
However, logistically, that may still be hard, even if they're opening up the roads and doing that, because as I understand it, the cartel had like a backhoe that was digging up the roads.
So even if they do that, it may potentially be very difficult.
But in the area immediately surrounding me, things seem to have calmed down.
However, if you go outside, everything is still closed.
Not a single store is open.
Everything is shut down.
It's really quiet around here, but no more major fires, no more smoke.
And it looks like they're starting to work on getting the roads back up and running.
So it may be another day, maybe a couple of days, but things are starting to look a little bit better here in Puerto Vallerta.
This morning, I had to stand in line for hours and my wife as well, where hundreds of people going all the way out the door from the concierge desk all the way out to the sidewalk outside.
And these are people who are staying at this hotel who now have to rebook and extend their stay because all of their flights have been canceled.
Some of them, I heard one guy in a line before me saying that Delta was not going to be flying him out until Saturday.
Today is Monday.
So obviously that's a significant extension to the stay here.
You can see the line there right now.
And for myself, my flight has been canceled as well.
And I still have not yet heard from my airline.
They said they will send me a new itinerary soon, but I was supposed to be flown out here already.
And I still have no word on my new itinerary.
So it could be a day, could be two days, could be a week for me.
I really have no idea how long I'm going to stay here.
So I booked this room for another couple of nights.
I figured it's going to be a couple at least.
But it's tough to say that could extend.
And so, yeah, I've been getting some information from people on the grounds here.
I've been keeping track of what's going on on Twitter.
And I've also been paying attention to the speakers group that we have on Telegram, where I was in town working at a conference.
I was invited here to speak at a conference.
And that's what I've been doing for the last five days before this happened.
And so we have a Telegram group for all the speakers of the conference.
And obviously, these are a lot of people just like me who do this sort of thing for a living.
They eat, sleep, and breathe this stuff.
So they're staying on top of it.
So I've got a good source there for where to get some of the groundbreaking information.
So that's kind of how I've been staying on top of things.
But to be honest, the last like all day, I've just been doing interviews like this.
And I've been trying to figure out how I'm going to, you know, rebook the hotel, trying to figure out when my next flight is going to be.
So I haven't had a whole heck of a lot of time to really delve deep into what's going on behind the scenes here.
But all good right now at this particular hotel.
I'm not going to venture outside again.
I don't know if you heard earlier.
I was telling Alex on the show.
It was earlier today or maybe yesterday about how I went outside yesterday and it was just a wasteland.
There was smoldering burning cars right there in front of me and not a single soul on the road.
It was so eerie.
It was like something out of a movie, just absolutely nobody around.
So I busted out my camera and I started doing a video report.
And all of a sudden, the only one and only vehicle I saw pulled up on me and it was a pickup truck.
There's the footage.
Right before I started shooting that, a pickup truck rolled up on me with eight or nine guys with machine guns in the back of this pickup truck, all with black ski masks.
And I had no idea if this was the cartel or if this was the military.
And either one of those is dangerous to be around right now.
Cartel's bad.
Military is the target of the cartel.
So it was a pretty scary scene just stepping outside the hotel.
But I haven't ventured outside today yet, but I'm going to do that soon and see what it's like and probably shoot another similar video as the one you're seeing there and maybe compare the scenes from yesterday to today and see what it's actually like out there right now on the grounds.
Well, you know, Puerto Velarta, I know, is a major hub of tourism and Mexico relies on a lot of tourism.
And there's always sort of an understanding between the cartels and the Mexican government that like, okay, as long as your activity doesn't blow up and become an international story and damage our tourism, then you can kind of operate, you know, underneath the surface as much as you want.
Clearly, this is going to have catastrophic implications for the tourism industry in Mexico.
And it would seem to me like if I was Mexican government, I'd be doing everything I could to make sure the airport was up and running and the hotel, like everybody there got vouchers.
I mean, is there anything like that?
Or it sounds like it's kind of going the other way in that they're making you book more rooms and like spend money to extend the stay, even though it's not your fault that the stay is being extended.
I mean, is there any sort of consideration for Americans that are there from the Mexican government or from the hotels that you're staying at?
In fact, I have no other option or choice but to rebook the room.
Like I can't, they can't just send me out there.
And so I have no option but to rebook the room and they're not giving me the same rate that I that I had.
It's a little bit more of a rate.
So and when I kind of complained about that at the desk, I'm like, look, this is what I paid for the last couple of days.
Why can't I pay the same now?
And he's like, hey, hotel rates change and hotels.
It depends on the day, man.
You know, it is what it is.
And so I'm kind of forced to now pay a little bit more to stay in here.
And I heard other people signing in around me who are complaining about similar things saying, oh, my, the rate has gone up.
And so all of a sudden, we're forced to dish this out of our pockets.
Now, I did get a message from my airline WestJet saying that because.
It's, you know, not my fault, any fault of my own that their flight was canceled.
They may be able to reimburse me for a hotel stay, but I'm going to have to just keep the receipts and go through the process of getting a reimbursement much after the fact, if in fact they end up doing that.
But it's possible some people may be able to get a little bit of a little bit of help in that regards.
But certainly in my situation, the Canadian consulate, I doubt is going to be any help.
I mean, I would imagine they're probably backlogged and kind of overwhelmed with phone calls and visits right now.
And I doubt it is their top priority to get people out right now.
You know, when it comes to a humanitarian mission for the Canadian government, they're not really interested in doing it for their people.
They're more interested in doing it if it advances the agendas of the powers that ought not be.
So it remains to be seen what's going to happen there.
But I think we're on our own, essentially.
We're going to have to just kind of hunker down in the hotel, hope that this thing kind of blows over in the next day or two.
And hopefully we'll be able to hop on a plane and get the heck out of here.
So for the last five days leading up to this, I've been going, doing 12, nine, 10, 12 hour days at a conference, meeting attendees, doing speaking engagements, going essentially from my hotel to the convention center and back to the hotel and back to the convention center and just, you know, doing talks and stuff like that.
And so I had one day for me and my wife to enjoy the beach, get some sun, have some much needed relaxation.
And it's funny enough, the last thing I posted was a picture of me and my wife on the beach saying, finally, you know, our beach day, some much needed beach time.
And that's right when we checked in.
And then yesterday was supposed to be our full day to have a little bit of time before we go home to just relax, unwind after this conference.
And as soon as we stepped out onto the beach that second time, I saw huge plumes of smoke when I looked this way, huge plumes of smoke when I looked that way, huge pile of black smoke behind the resort.
And I even zoomed in on one of them and you could see the flames coming out at the bottom.
That video has gone absolutely viral.
I think eight or nine million views on Twitter.
And that was just sitting right in the back on the beach.
And that's when it all started really clicking in.
We're like, something major is going on here.
And we looked it up.
I started getting some intel from my speakers Telegram group.
And that's when we found out, okay, they just took out a top cartel drug lord.
And when you do that in Mexico, it's basically a declaration of war.
They're not doing that unexpectedly and getting this response.
I think they understood what the response was going to be.
And sure enough, they came with their full might and power.
These guys, these cartels around here, like they dress like the military sometimes.
They literally have tanks that they can roll around in the streets with.
I've heard that when this has happened in the past, they will literally have rocket launchers that they will shoot at military helicopters.
They have these kinds of things at their disposal.
So these guys are serious.
These guys mean business.
And when you take out one of their top guys, you better believe you're going to be engaged in quite the battle.
Now, I know you guys talk about, you know, how the powers that ought not be often utilize order out of chaos.
It's their modus operandi.
It's a classic problem reaction solution scenario where you have a problem like this.
You're going to get a reaction from the Mexican people, which is like, oh my gosh, please do something about this for us.
This is crazy.
And then you offer the solution.
And I could very well see some of that coming in the form of digital IDs, just a heightened surveillance state in general, more cameras going up, and just a general lockdown vibe is what the Mexican people might be able to expect out of this.
I hate to say it, but this is a global agenda to clamp down on people's rights, to track, trace, and database everybody.
And this may be used as an excuse to clamp down on the Mexican people and to finally force them to give in to the digital ID global surveillance grid.
So that's something we have to be wary of as well.
They're obviously going hard doing that in the UK.
They're starting to do it pretty big in Canada.
And maybe now it's Mexico's turn to fall in line to the powers that ought not be, as they're probably going to use this as a way to take people's rights away, their freedoms and liberties right here in Mexico.
But of course, that's not going to apply to the people that we're seeing on screen here, which are, you know, is this Mexican cartel with armored militarized vehicles and automatic machine guns and even truck-mounted machine guns in some cases.
So yeah, just once again, I mean, if you're, you know, in Mexico, as a regular civilian, it's almost impossible to get a gun, but somehow their cartels are as well armed as the military is.
So just once again, sort of the inefficacy of these laws of gun control while the bad guys just get bigger and better guns.
And then the people of Mexico are left completely defenseless and having to beg their government to come in and rescue them.
And of course, I've been talking about this for a while, actually, when it comes to Mexico, because people have this idea that Mexico is like, oh, it's just America with like spicier food.
But it's like, guys, if you take America and you crank up the corruption about 4%, we're in Mexico territory and it is utter and complete chaos.
I mean, did you see any of that before all of this broke out?
Or had your trip so far been pretty clear of corruption before the civil war broke out?
I know the media, like, will often, there's warnings coming out from the Canadian media at least not to, you know, go here.
There was years ago anyways.
But I've been, this is my seventh year attending this conference.
It's usually held in Acapulco, which is even more so told that it's a really dangerous, scary place, but I've never had a problem there.
This year, the conference was moved to Puerto Vallerta.
And this is the first time that I've kind of had any real serious issues like this.
But I'm certainly not going to make that get me into a fear state and have me want to not come back.
I mean, if I'm invited to speak at this conference again next year, I'm certainly going to take them up on the offer again and come down.
I don't think this is something we have to necessarily worry about going on and happening on a regular basis.
This is definitely a unique event, and I just so happened to have gotten caught up on it in it, unfortunately.
I was supposed to be flying out.
I was supposed to be getting home almost by now, but things didn't go that way.
And when I had one day to relax on the beach, that turned into time to get back to work.
And I've been just doing nothing but that ever since.
So yeah, I'm not going to allow any of the fear to stop me from continuing to speak at events or even document things like this.
You know, I plan on going out soon after these interviews to explore the streets again and just to give you a comparative view of what it looks like now compared to what it looked like yesterday.
So that's my plan.
Can't live in fear.
Just got to keep plugging away and just put on the armor of God and pray that he's got your back.
Well, you're going to have a very exciting vacation story to tell.
It's not to make light of it, but it's like, you know, first they lose your luggage and then you have trouble checking into the hotel.
And then you're on the beach and a civil war breaks out.
It's like, what else could go wrong?
I mean, it's just, it's got to be surreal for you to be experiencing this.
I'm, you know, glad you're not, you know, letting the fear get to you, but I'd got to wonder if I was in your position, like, how are you finding information?
How are you learning about what's going on?
Are you like, you could watch the news, I guess, but do you speak Spanish?
And could you even understand that?
How are you like just getting a handle on what's going on and where you can go and what's safe and what's not?
You know, there's a lot of talk from the people who are here, you know, but mostly, I mean, yeah, there's nothing I can really watch on TV.
Everything's Spanish and that's mostly just going to be propaganda spin anyways that I wouldn't necessarily trust.
So I've been getting a lot of information from X, interestingly enough.
I've also been relying on the speaker's telegram group from the conference that I was in attendance at.
And really, that speaks to the need to have community and to network with like-minded people more than ever.
You know, we can't be relying on the government to come in and solve the problems that were created by the government.
We can't be relying on the consulate or some U.S. or Canadian humanitarian intervention campaign.
Nothing like that is going to happen and we shouldn't be relying on it anyways.
We need to be working with each other and helping each other.
So I've been building community for the last five days.
I've been meeting like-minded people.
I've met a lot of fantastic freedom-minded people at this conference who live in Puerto Vallerta.
So should things get worse, should things go down an even worse road, I'm going to have those contacts to be able to help me get out of this crazy situation.
So that's what we need to focus on moving forward is having that community, networking with like-minded people, building friendly relationships with People that you are surrounded with who understand what's truly going on.
And so, yeah, I've been kind of relying on them for some of my information because, to be honest, today has been filled with, I think, you're my ninth interview of the day.
And I've got a couple more lined up here as soon as I'm done with this.
So, it's kind of been taken up a lot of my time today.
And also, just the logistics of trying to figure out what I'm going to do for my flight, my hotel.
So, I haven't had all the time yet to really kind of deep dive into what's happening here behind the scenes.
But maybe I can delve a little deeper as soon as I get home.
But for now, I'm going to rely on some of the friends I've made around here and some of the things I'm seeing on Twitter as well.
Well, we appreciate you giving us the time and helping us to explain because to me, it's just even trying to imagine what it was like to go through this is hard for me to picture.
It's hard for me to, you know, maybe we have more information than you even do, but you have a different view there on the ground that's got to be more visceral.
And in my opinion, more important in understanding like how this can happen and how it isn't just Mexico that has criminal gangs.
I mean, this could break out anywhere.
And so, I mean, as of now, you're planning on staying there, you know, indefinitely, right?
Hopefully not for more than a few days, but we have seen images of them breaking up highways with backhoes.
That's going to take a while to repair.
So, is there any feeling you get that this is over and now it's just like patching things up?
Or is there going to be another round of violence?
Because so far, I haven't seen that there's been a big, you know, counterattack with a bunch of arrests or killings of the cartel members.
So, you know, they exploded in this orgy of violence yesterday and then they all, I guess, went back in their caves wherever they are.
Any fear that it's going to break out again, or do you think it's fairly well contained by the Mexican army now?
I do feel like things are starting to calm down and are hopefully going to continue on that kind of trajectory.
But we could also be witnessing the eye of the hurricane.
We certainly could be just in a quiet moment before they decide to strike again.
And so, my guard is certainly up in that regards.
You know, I've had a lot of people suggesting that I start stockpiling some food and bottled water right here in the hotel room, just in case logistically getting food into the hotel starts to become a problem.
So, we're all certainly thinking about those types of things.
We're hoping and praying that this just ends immediately or at least fizzles out in the next day or two.
But there's sure a very real possibility that it could kick into high gear and be even worse than it was yesterday.
That's a very real possibility, and that's something I'm taking seriously as well.
So, I will be stocking up on those bottles of water and some food that I can keep here in the room, just in case it expands to not only being able to leave the hotel, but being confided to the room.
Because it's quite possible that food could be an issue around here, especially if they don't get the road situation figured out.
Well, you know, I have a YouTube channel you could find, search and press for truth, but that's censoring me.
That's already being deleted once and then reinstated and then deleted again and then reinstated again.
So, there's a good chance they're going to delete that again.
So, I'm on Rumble, I'm on BitChute, I'm on Odyssey, I'm on Minds, I'm on Band, I'm on probably about eight or nine different platforms.
So the best way to find all of that is to go to pressfortruth.ca, or if you go to pressfortruth.ca slash subscribe, you can find a list of all the different various platforms that I post on.
You can get stuff a little bit more quickly and up to date if you follow me on Twitter or xx.com slash dandix pft.
And if anybody wants to contribute to my efforts here, you can go to pressfortruth.ca slash donate.
Any amount helps because as I said, I was not expecting to have to extend my stay at this hotel at a higher rate than they were originally charging me.
This is all just kind of hitting me by surprise.
So if anybody feels they want to pitch in, if they appreciate my efforts to be here, boots on the ground doing this reporting, go to pressfortruth.ca slash donate.
That's the Press for Truth channel on banned.video.
This is the War Room.
I'm your host, Harrison Smith.
I'm actually looking for a really good breakdown of what's happening in Mexico.
Let's go first to clip number 25.
This is Mexican President Claudia Scheinbaum when asked about why she was not cracking down on the criminal cartels that basically operate with impunity in her country.
Let's watch.
She says the Narco is not an option.
Going after the Narco is not an option.
It's not an option.
First, because it is outside the framework of the law, all these, the right-wing, the mouths, the words, the rule of law.
And defend the war against the Narco.
The war against the Narco is outside the law because, as I said or have said, on several occasions, it is permission to kill without any trial.
And that in Mexico, nobody or very few are in agreement.
It is outside the framework of the law.
And secondly, it did not serve any purpose other than to increase homicides in Mexico and the level of violence.
So these are called authoritarian because they are authoritarian.
Yeah, you're fascist if you want to round up the criminal cartels that run your country.
Mexico did not want to fight the cartels because she said it would be authoritarian to simply clamp down on them.
Okay, but do you recognize the language she's using?
Did it happen to strike a bell in your head that what she said is literally exactly the argument that activists are using against ICE?
That they're saying, well, you know, what this really is, is extrajudicial killing.
It's the government just murdering its own citizens.
You can't go to war with criminal elements inside your own country.
You have to, you know, arrest them like they're, you know, the guy stealing bread from the store.
You have to put them under arrest and you have to take them to a court and you have to try them and, you know, give them all the due process in the world.
When in reality, we see the videos, these are militia armed gangs.
If you try to actually arrest one of their leaders, they will burn your city down.
You have to go after them like they're an army because that's what they are.
But you heard exactly the same reasoning, exactly the same phrases when you talk about going after illegal immigrants or gangs here in America, TDA and others.
That's just, well, that's authoritarian.
That's in violation of the rule of law.
We have to stick to the rule of law.
So be suspicious of anybody invoking the rule of law to explain why criminals can't be punished.
Do you understand?
That anybody invoking the so-called rule of law to explain why they can't actually stop criminals from harming innocent people is a liar and a manipulator and is in bed with the criminals.
Obviously.
And she's not the only one.
The president before her had something that was like, he had a thing called hugs, not bullets.
Hugs, not bullets.
Crew, look that up.
See if I'm remembering that correctly.
Hugs, not bullets when facing off against the cartels that will routinely, you know, skin people alive.
Mexico appears to abandon its hugs, not bullets strategy as bloodshed plagues the country.
Now, they just stopped announcing that's what they were doing because it was so ridiculous to say that you're going to treat the rampant criminal militia, frankly, bigger army than yours to hugs.
You're going to treat them with hugs.
You're going to hug them and tell them that they're loved, and that will make them understand that they don't need crime.
Like, I don't know what it is that's made the entire Western world devolve into this preschool ideology of just like friendly.
I don't know.
I don't know what it is.
But at a certain point, you got to get over it.
You got to understand the rule of law itself is at threat by these organizations.
And so to operate against them outside of the rule of law is, in fact, the thing you need to do to reinforce the rule of law.
And if you think this is impossible, if you think this can't be done, I suggest you look at El Salvador, which had a bigger and worse problem than Mexico does, but solved it by ruthlessly going after the cartels and imbuing the El Salvadorian army with the righteous fury of crusaders, understanding that they were rescuing their country from lawlessness.
And in doing so, they had to be ruthless with the criminals.
All right, welcome back, folks.
This is the war room.
What's going on in Mexico is very troubling.
It should definitely concern all of us.
Again, I'm not saying I told you so.
It's just I did spend like a lot of time last week talking about how Mexico is constantly teetering on the edge of all-out horrific violence and pointing out that America is headed in that direction too.
And that it's not gigantic gulfs between our two civilizations.
It's just America prides itself and deliberately imbues our citizens with the idea that we do not stand for corruption.
We do not allow our public servants to take a little off the top.
Now, that's going away because we're being flooded by people from the third world who think it's super clever and, you know, just brilliant.
And that's how you get success is you undermine the system itself or you take advantage wherever you possibly can.
We're still miles and miles away from where Mexico's at.
And that's because our culture is different.
Our tolerance level is much higher or lower, I guess.
We don't tolerate nearly as much as the Mexican people do.
And I don't even blame them necessarily.
I mean, they have had their guns stripped from them.
There's a fantastic documentary called Cartel Land that shows a Robin Hood-esque figure attempting to stand up against the cartels by arming the regular people of Mexico.
And of course, the cartels kill him, and the government helps them in that by trying to shut him down at every pass.
And, you know, it's just a reminder of what it takes to get back once you've lost what we have.
You understand what I mean?
Like, right now, we have guns.
Have still sort of the remnants of freedom that our forefathers gave us.
We have in general, and certainly outside of the cities, fairly safe locales to send our children and everything.
And that can all go away very easily.
And once it does, how the hell do you get it back?
How the hell are the people of Mexico supposed to free themselves from the chains of the cartels when they don't have guns and the cartels are in bed with the government?
And, you know, any attempt to peacefully, politically go up against them, you'll just be murdered.
Any attempt to fight back against them both gets shut down by the government coming in to confiscate your guns, and then you'll be murdered by the cartel in a brutal and ruthless way.
Like, how do you get it back?
Mexico's only hope at this point is America, is America coming in and rescuing them from themselves.
But what if America didn't exist?
Or what if America becomes Mexico 2.0?
Who comes in to rescue us?
And if it's up to us entirely, how do you do that when the government and the criminal cartels are unified and operating in tandem to steal your rights, crush any opposition, exploit you to the maximum degree, poison or kill you if you resist?
I mean, what do you do at that point?
Where do you go?
How do you organize against that?
You know, again, we have this system that's so wonderful that we have people that are vehemently against it that go out and they think that the way that you change things is by going out and protesting because they're used to this sort of powerful but theoretically loving government that, hey, the people are unhappy.
Well, let's see what we can do to calm them down or to satisfy their complaints.
We have that first amendment right to demand redress of grievances, and occasionally that works.
Try protesting against the cartel.
Do you think they care?
Do you think you can go wave a sign saying stop selling drugs, stop killing us?
Are they going to go, you know, you're right.
I didn't realize how many people were against us.
It was a pretty sizable protest, actually.
Maybe we should let them have their right.
Like, no, they just kill you.
They just shoot you.
I'm saying all this because we are on trajectory towards Mexico.
And you really got to imagine what would it take to get back to a place that's safe and reasonable and functional.
And you don't have to know somebody to get anything done.
Like, what happens when we lose what we have in America?
And what does it take to get it back?
Because you can look at Mexico and see it ain't easy once it gets to a certain point, once you reach that critical mass of power from the cartels.
They just run things.
Let's go to clip 38 here.
This is a man named Cuznovin on TikTok, C-U-Z-N-N-V-I-N.
He gives an update on the situation in Mexico, and I think he has some interesting insight into how this will be seen and treated by the Mexican government.
I mean, they're having shootouts in the middle of the streets, right?
Between cartel members and the Mexican military.
They just killed two National Guardsmen and injured another one in an ambush.
I mean, they're not around.
They're not around.
It got bad.
As far as Guadalajara airport goes, I talked about this.
Passengers are stranded.
Flights are suspended indefinitely.
No flights in and out of Guadalajara airport.
So guess what?
If you want to leave the country for your safety, you're stuck.
You can't go anywhere.
I mean, these videos are out of control.
And just when you think can get worse, you know what I mean?
More information comes out.
In regard to the country of Mexico, schools are closed nationwide as of tomorrow.
The entire statewide system is shut down.
All public events are canceled indefinitely until further notice.
And that is throughout the country of Mexico, not just in Jalisco and in Puerto Valla, Puerto Vallarta, throughout the country.
We all know that the National Guard is actively engaged in shootouts throughout the streets of Puerto Vallarta and Jalisco with these out-of-control cartel members, right?
And the U.S. Embassy, listen, they have a shelter-in-place order throughout Puerto Vallarta, Guadalajara, Nueva Leon, Guerrero, pretty much in major cities throughout Mexico, right?
Shelter in place.
Do not move, okay, until we tell you to move.
In Canada, Canada, out of all people, right?
Guess what they did?
They're mimicking, right?
Exactly what the United States are doing.
Identical warrants.
Both countries are pulling flights.
No more flights in and out of Mexico to and from Canada.
Now, again, sh is getting worse and worse and worse.
Now, I want to talk about the governor, right?
Pablo Limas.
unidentified
Now, this governor here, listen, they've got Blackhawk helicopters, Black Hawk helicopters hovering around these cities.
The Mexican military has not mobilized heavy equipment.
Okay, they dispersed them around the streets of Mexico, you know, in these cities to handle the cartel members.
It's urban warfare.
They're just shooting like the wild, wild west.
I mean, you can't make this shit up.
But Governor Pablo Limas, he has confirmed that the military surge, quote unquote, is part of a statewide cold red emergency designed to prevent the cartel from following through on its threats as far as entering hotels and homes, right?
And of urban warfare, because they know that these guys mean business.
I mean, listen, I don't know how to say it.
I mean, shit is mad.
They have issued chilling, chilling warnings.
And listen, in my opinion, they're going to carry through on these warnings all over a man.
All over a man who pretty much just what he did as far as bringing the dope into the United States and the rest of the world, okay, and everything that's going on because that does it blows my mind.
And we have people here in the United States that are advocating for you know for this country, a government who's turned our back on the Mexican people in favor of these cartel members.
And we've got people on the streets of the United States that are saying we aren't stolen.
It just blows my mind, okay?
The hypocrisy and the stupidity of some people living in our country.
Anyway, shit is getting from bad to worse in Mexico.
It's getting dark out there.
Listen, nothing happens at night.
We all know that.
And we'll see what happens.
But I got a pretty good feeling that tomorrow morning, you know, what I'm telling you right now, listen, it's going to get worse.
Yes, that was a bit of a longer video, but I thought he was absolutely fantastic in the way that he broke everything down, including the implications of this.
The tacos are still worth the risk, people say.
I'm sure.
Look, you know, all the love to Mexico, but like, God forbid we ever become Mexico.
I love Mexico as a neighbor.
Don't want to live there.
In fact, infuriated that I'm being made to live there.
I didn't move to Mexico, but Mexico is moving to me.
I thought that was a pretty thorough breakdown there.
And die hard viva la muerte when vacation turns to chaos.
Yeah, this is kind of what it sounds like.
Same with the crew during the break.
Like there's always that fantasy or whatever where like you go into a movie and then you come out of the movie and the whole city's on fire.
Like that must have happened to some people in Puerto Rico to some people went to take a nap and everything was peaceful and the sky was blue and the sun was shining and then they woke up to Blackhawk helicopters and the city on fire.
And it's just a reminder of how easily these trappings of civilization can quite literally go up in flames.
But we'll move on.
I have a lot of other stuff to talk about.
I did find quickly here, we'll move on to what's happening in the political realm and the fallout from the Tucker Carlson Mike Huckabee interview that may have saved the world.
That interview may have saved the world by stopping World War III.
We're also going to get to a lot about the UK grooming scandal.
Some very disturbing information has come out about that.
So I'll get to that later this hour.
And then we'll be joined by Rex Jones in the third hour and we'll take your calls and cover a lot more breaking news.
But this post has gone viral and I think it's brilliant.
I think it sums up what I've been trying to say about this young woman, Alyssa, I think her name is Alyssa Liu, the figure skater that the left is trying to claim is their own, but it's not going to work.
But it's not going to work because she's too joyful and happy and successful to ever truly be on the left.
This is from a Reddit account.
It says, true unpopular opinion.
So there's a Reddit, there's a subreddit called Unpopular Opinion.
We were supposed to post things that wouldn't get voted up in other subreddits, but they can't resist.
They can't resist the hive mind.
And so now there's a true unpopular opinion where things can get posted and despite the Reddit moderators disagreeing.
So it says this: this Alyssa Liu discourse perfectly captures what's wrong with modern progressivism.
For anyone that didn't know, Elisa Liu won gold in U.S. figure skating.
She has received overwhelming praise from virtually everybody for her skating.
On X, a lot of right-leaning people and pages have also praised her for being the archetypal immigrant success story since her dad came here from China to become a lawyer, and now she's a world champion athlete, as well as just being generally happy that an American won gold and is feeling patriotic about it.
This has been met with scathing mockery from a lot of progressives who are quick to point out she's progressive and woke and likely hates most of what the conservatives hates most of the conservatives who are praising her.
This is the problem with progressives.
People on the right are happy to see her succeed.
They're happy that her dad came here through the legal immigration process, has contributed and been successful, and now she's done the same thing in turn.
They overwhelmingly don't care about her politics, especially because she hasn't used the Olympics as a megaphone to broadcast her political beliefs.
She's just done what she was there to do.
Obviously, if the situations were reversed, you'd have a completely different reaction.
If it came to light that she was a MAGA supporter, progressives would relentlessly bash and shame her.
They wouldn't praise or promote her performance, and they'd largely only care about her political views.
Anyone with common sense who's been alive for the last decade knows this is true because we've seen it happen over and over again.
This is why so many people can't stand modern progressivism.
No matter what you do or achieve or what kind of person you are overall, the wrong political views are a complete overriding non-starter.
This is not the case for conservatives, which is why progressives are confused and think it's a gotcha to point out that she's a progressive.
It's not, none of them care.
Watching this play out has, in real time, has been fascinating.
It really encapsulates the problems with modern progressivism.
Yeah, absolutely.
And it's like all of the problems, right?
It's the fact that they want to take credit for and be involved in things that fundamentally they hate, like athletic accomplishment or national pride.
This is completely anathema.
It's a complete rejection of everything they believe to embrace anything.
But it does matter.
They're hypocrites and they want to take this stuff.
The perception that the left hates the MAGA-aligned political associations and on-ice personas.
Oh, yeah, no, this literally happened this year.
There was a, I assume this is the person you're talking about, right?
She has a boyfriend that is like a MAGA supporter and so the left hates her.
Captains.
Oh, assistant captains of the hockey team.
Our MAGA people.
The Kachucks.
Our big MAGA supporters.
Hey, guess what?
I was celebrating the hockey league championship without even knowing their politics.
What a shocking idea that might be.
But again, progressives want to take control of these things that actually they hate because they want to just destroy them because their whole worldview is centered around the concept of those people are having fun without me.
I want to destroy their fun.
That's basically all of progressivism.
Those people are succeeding, but they're not giving me part of their success.
So I want to destroy their success.
So they, you know, it exposes that hypocrisy, that sort of meanness and parasitism, where they don't create anything.
Nothing they do draws a big crowd that a bunch of non-progressive people are like, oh, let's go enjoy that and take that over.
Like we never do that because nothing they do is entertaining or fun or attractive in any way.
So they don't have to worry about that.
They just are constantly glomming onto and trying to take control of what we make, things that people who they hate create.
They want it so they can destroy it.
But on top of that, it's the mindset of the progressives that is the real underlying problem with everything going on in America is that they do not have an image for the conservative mind.
They cannot fathom what it's like to be a conservative, what we actually believe.
And this inability of theirs is so poisonous that we can't even explain it to them because we do over and over again.
Like we just explain it outright, forthrightly, in a blatant and simple way.
Like, here's what we believe.
And they just can't even hear it.
They don't accept it because their mindset, their worldview is so.
What's the word?
They're enemies to everybody.
They're so antagonistic towards everything, so hateful towards anyone that's not themselves.
They cannot imagine that people don't think like them.
They really can't.
And so it really is, must be like baffling and confusing to them that there's this, I guess, supposedly progressive girl that MAGA, we just don't care and we love her anyway.
And like they really don't understand that.
And they really do think it's a gotcha that this 20-year-old girl is a liberal.
Oh, oh my gosh.
So shocking.
We don't care.
We don't care.
What she's not doing is draping a foreign flag over her shoulders.
Like that goo woman.
That's what we care about.
Does she have to agree with us on everything?
Obviously not.
Be nice if she did.
She probably will.
I mean, the way she's being treated.
I mean, likely just because MAGA likes her, progressives will start to hate her, even though she agrees with them.
Even though, you know, she should be on their side.
You know, if she doesn't come out and denounce MAGA, progressives will denounce her.
And so like, even if she's not MAGA now, she will be.
She will be because she'll see how progressives treat her and she'll see, you know, how they really feel about somebody who is hardworking and successful, a champion, a genius in their own right.
And the left doesn't celebrate these people.
The left doesn't uplift and honor these people.
And of course, the absurdity of all of it is just taking the actual progressive mindset and applying it would mean that she, I don't know, would have to give her points away, would have to give her gold away, that it's not, you know, her own achievement.
I mean, you know, think about all the privileges she has, right?
She has white privilege because she's white passing.
She has pretty privilege.
She has cisgender privilege.
I mean, did she even earn this medal?
Or is it really just a collection of privileges that she's taking advantage of?
I mean, I could be a world-class figure skater too if I was, you know, genetically similar to her.
So like, why should she be celebrated?
Why should she be allowed to succeed when other people who don't have her advantages fail?
I mean, she had a loving family.
Not everybody has a loving family.
So why should she get to have a loving family when nobody else does?
Why should she get to have a family that can pay for lessons when other families can't pay for lessons?
I think all of the lessons should be removed and only, you know, given out to certain people through the government, right?
I mean, this is, again, the absurdity.
And the Olympics used to be a key stage where this difference between America and everybody else was on display.
Because America, especially when we were up against the USSR, this is why the big miracle on ice was such a big deal, was because Americans were not professional athletes.
The whole like wonderful thing about the Olympics.
Yeah, that's what I said about this.
While there's drama over leftists trying to claim Melissa Liu as woke, I want to remind you that the Olympics, figure skating, and excellence itself is anathema to their entire worldview.
Leftists are not allowed to enjoy the Olympics.
If you can open that bottom one, I think I already went over all this, but this is what the Olympics are.
Nationhood, gendered contest, objective empirical outcomes, peaceful cooperation between sovereign states, honor, physical accomplishments.
I'm going to say it again.
Leftists are not allowed to enjoy the Olympics.
If you vote for Democrat, you're not allowed to celebrate the Olympics.
You're not allowed to watch them on TV.
You're not allowed to enjoy the celebrations afterwards.
You are an enemy of the Olympics because you're an enemy of humanity.
And the Olympics is an expression, possibly our highest expression, of humanity for humanity's sake.
Not for profit, not for gain, not because it helps you to crush the will of your enemies, because it's a celebration of the vitality of humanity and the power of the human spirit.
So leftists are not allowed to enjoy them.
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
This is The War Room.
We're going to talk about domestic politics now.
I don't know.
It's almost like the Trump administration thought that the Epstein files would be like a storm they could weather.
They thought, like most things, this would have a two-week shelf life online and in the news, and then that would be it.
And so they sort of need to not talk about it for two weeks till nobody cares anymore.
That's not happening.
And because they're not treating this at all like they should, it's kind of making everybody go insane.
Again, this could be deliberate.
This could very much be a part of the psychological manipulation going on.
But I don't know.
I mean, after all, these people are not, you know, God.
Not everything that happens is playing into their hands just like intended.
They do have fairly good systems set up so that every problem is presented with their solution.
Like I understand that, but it's like happening in a couple different ways and sort of all over is that you have people going insane about this.
Now, again, we've known about this for 20 years and none of this was a surprise to us, but everybody goes through a period of moderate insanity when you learn this stuff for the first time.
Because when you really think about it, you really understand how bad this all is and that everybody in power knew about it the whole time and the media knew about it and covered it up and allowed it to happen and were in fact engaged in some of it.
And you really get the overwhelming feeling that like the whole world is involved in this truly sickening, sickening activities.
It can make you feel insane.
And then when you see the government ignore it, like I get it, I get why people are going insane.
And it's sort of expressing itself in a number of different ways.
One of them, I would say, is the apparent assassination attempt from yesterday.
Law enforcement killed an unarmed man who was trying to get into Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.
The incident occurred at a time when the U.S. is facing a spike in political violence.
In 2024, a gunman's bullet grazed Trump's ear during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, and a man later convicted of attempted assassination was spotted hiding in the bushes of a Florida golf course with a semi-automatic rifle while Trump was on the course.
This man was carrying a shotgun and a fuel can, the U.S. Secret Service said in a statement, adding that he was observed at the resorts at Northgate around 1.30 a.m. Eastern Time.
Two U.S. Secret Service agents and a Palm Beach County Sheriff's Deputy confronted the man and ordered him to drop the two items.
Palm Beach County Sheriff Rick Bradshaw said in a press conference on Sunday morning.
The man put down the gas can and raised the shotgun to a shooting position, prompting law enforcement to open fire.
You know, I kind of wish, this is a Reuters article.
I feel like they could have gone a little bit more into the whole this incident follows a rise in political violence thing, because, you know, they've only put in two examples, the two assassination attempts against Donald Trump, but there were more of those, first of all.
There was also the Charlie Kirk killing last year.
That must have slipped their mind a little bit.
There are the attacks on the ICE agents that are currently going through court and being convicted of terroristic activity where 10 people from an Antifa cell set a fire outside of an ICE facility to draw out the agents in order to shoot at them.
I think if they would have kept going with their explanation of political violence, one conclusion would have been inescapable.
It's all coming from the left.
Oh, it turns out it's all coming from the left as they routinely and consistently and constantly claim the right wing is violent and try to crack down on the right endlessly, which in reality is only giving fuel to the actually violent people.
If the right wing was actually violent, then calling out the right is violent would be good because you'd be clamping down on the violent side.
But since the right is not violent, constantly portraying us as the violent side is actually stochastic terrorism, as they put it, stochastic terrorism, however they say it, is basically inspiring and justifying in the minds of the radical left violence against right-wingers.
Because then they're not insane terrorists trying to kill or hurt innocent people.
No, they're righteous freedom fighters standing up against the Nazis.
So literally, I mean, as they misrepresent political violence continuously, what they're actually doing is contributing to the very political violence that they're covering up.
And this is all about the Epstein files, apparently.
Would-be Mar-a-Lago assassin obsessed with fake allegations linking Trump to Epstein.
Oh, Hassan Abi says it's another Trump supporter tried to kill the president yesterday.
And it barely made news because that's how common right-wing violence is.
No one believes you.
You don't believe you.
My God.
I mean, do I need to explain?
Do I really need to let me?
Listen up, Hassan.
Listen up, Hassan.
If he tried to kill Trump, he probably didn't like Trump.
You absolute moron.
I mean, my God.
And he's like, they know they're lying.
Everything is a projection.
Everything they claim about us is clearly a projection by them, and it just is endless.
I'm glad to see his audience is not.
Wait, scroll up, scroll up.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Somebody was agreeing with him.
I want to see the agreement.
Here you go.
For anyone confused, yes, he was extremely right-wing, and he was a former MAGA supporter, but he got very fed up with how Trump was dealing with the Epstein files and suspected that he was helping to cover it up and wanting to kill him.
So yes, he was a right-winger.
Does that make you a right-winger?
Okay, so everybody against Epstein was a right-winger now?
These freaking people.
President Trump's latest would-be assassin has reportedly become obsessed with false claims about Jeffrey Epstein that have been peddled by Democrats and their corporate media allies.
Early Sunday morning, a man, an armed man, and this story, by the way, is from SlayNews.com, an armed man who entered the secure perimeter of President Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach was shot and killed after allegedly pointing a shotgun at a law enforcement officer.
The incident occurred around 1.30 a.m. near the north gate of the property.
According to U.S. Secret Service and Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, the suspect unlawfully entered the estate carrying a shotgun and a gas canister.
When confronted to Secret Service and a sheriff's deputy, the individual reportedly set the gas can down and aimed the shotgun.
The suspect was announced dead at the scene after authorities returned gunfire or responded to the threat with gunfire.
The president and First Lady Melania Trump were in Washington, D.C. at the time of the incident and were not present at Mar-a-Lago.
Authorities recovered a shotgun box from the suspect's vehicle and determined the firearm had been purchased while he was traveling from North Carolina.
The suspect was identified as Austin Tucker Martin.
Family members had reported him missing in North Carolina the day before the shooting.
Speaking to TMZ, relatives described Martin as quiet and reserved.
He reportedly worked at Pine Needles Lodge and Golf Club and supplemented his income by selling pencil sketches of landscapes and portraits.
His cousin, 19-year-old Brayden Fields, stated the family is big Trump supporters, adding, we are big Trump supporters, all of us, everybody.
Fields said Martin generally avoided political discussion and appeared fearful of firearms.
Authorities are reportedly examining Martin's recent fixation on the Jeffrey Epstein case as a potential factor in the incident.
In the text messages, a coworker dated February 15th, Martin wrote, I don't know if you've read up on the Epstein files, but evil is real and unmistakable.
He also encouraged his coworker to spread what he believed was evidence of a government cover-up, writing, quote, the best people like you and I can do is use what little influence we have, tell other people about what you hear about the Epstein files and what the government is doing about it.
The Justice Department has released more than 3 million files related to the Epstein investigation.
The records include emails, flight logs, videos, and a wide range of materials.
Some political opponents of Trump have pointed to the fact that his name appears in certain documents implying misconduct.
However, President Trump has never been charged or formally accused of involvement in Trump's criminal, in Epstein's criminal activities, despite years of investigation and the release of millions of pages of material.
And it's just kind of one of these confusing things where it's like, okay, if you were actually, I don't know.
So far, I haven't seen any evidence.
I'm just trying to think this through because if you're actually obsessed with the Epstein files, if you're actually like poring through them endlessly, Donald Trump would not be the person that you'd be going after unless he was upset about the just the fact that it was, you know, it's being withheld and censored, in which case it is Trump doing that.
Not if that's a valid reason to attack him or anything, but I don't understand how you would be obsessed with the Epstein files.
If you're actually looking at them and actually reading them, you would not be going after Donald Trump.
Unless you were concerned about the cover-up, but he released 3 million of the files that have all the information that you're going on.
So that doesn't make any sense, actually.
President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were social acquaintances in the 90s.
Their relationship deteriorated in 2004, and Epstein was subsequently banned from Mar-a-Lago.
The ban reportedly followed allegations that Epstein had engaged in inappropriate conduct involving minors, including an incident in which he allegedly pressured an 18-year-old Mar-a-Lago spa worker and harassed the teenage daughter in front of another club member.
After a complaint from the girl's father, Trump revoked Epstein's access to the property.
Epstein later expressed hostility towards Trump in emails and recordings from 2017 to 19, calling him a horrible human being who was evil beyond belief and borderline insane.
In 2006, after allegations that Epstein became against Epstein became public, Trump contacted the Palm Beach Police Department regarding Epstein's activities.
As Tlay News reported, Trump told police that he was concerned about Epstein's behavior around young girls and rumors he'd heard about the financier.
Trump described Epstein as disgusting and urged police to look into Ghislaine Maxwell, who he said was evil.
That's the thing.
It's like, you're so obsessed with the evil of Jeffrey Epstein that you want to go kill one of his enemies?
That doesn't even make sense.
But I guess that's the view of the left, or I guess a die-hard right-winger, according to the idiots on X. Let's go to clip 46 here, because this is Donald Trump sort of responding to the fact that a lot of his base and most loyal supporters are unhappy with the current job he's doing.
And just once again, this video makes me think that he is, despite all evidence to the contrary, he's being kept away from information.
He is not being told the truth about what's going on.
There was a sizable amount of silent support during the presidential campaign, but now the people who silently reported you, the people who silently supported you are now very loudly condemning you.
So it's not that they're just like quietly supporting you.
No, we're like very angry at what a failure this second administration has been and will continue to be with statements like this.
Statements that, once again, reiterate the fact that you don't know what's going on.
Trump has no idea how people feel about the job he's doing.
And he's got to just be surrounded by sycophants that are telling him that this is business as usual.
It's the left being loud and obnoxious, but the right-wingers still have his complete confidence and are going to come out to vote for him.
Now, they voted for you while you were president because it was, well, first of all, you said you do a bunch of stuff that you haven't done yet.
And because everybody votes for president, but the midterms is a game of getting out the vote.
And people aren't exactly happy about what you've done and aren't eager to give you backup, especially when you're endorsing people like Greg Abbott, when you're endorsing some of the senators and congressmen that he's been endorsing.
They're just absolutely terrible endorsements that are awful.
And yeah, from the Hill, 68% of respondents say Trump is focused on the wrong problems, which maybe that's the whole issue, is Trump is like, I'm having all of this success.
And we're like, we don't care.
It's not us that you're helping.
Why would we care that you're having success against Venezuela?
Why would we care that you're having success against Iran, which you aren't even?
But if you were, why would we care?
You bombed Iran.
Whoop-de-freaking do?
What did that do for us?
They're backing down in Minnesota.
They're backing off mass deportations.
They are still trying to get war with Iran going.
Well, meanwhile, Mexico, the country to our immediate south, seems to be embroiled in a takeover by criminal gangs.
And it'd be kind of nice to have our military supporting our immediate neighbors rather than Israel 10,000 miles away.
And again, it's just obvious that that's the central contention of the Trump administration, the MAGA movement.
It has been for the last three years at least, as any decent, reasonable people in the Republican Party are sickened by the behavior of Israel over the last couple years and are sickened even more by the slavish devotion that the Trump administration shows to these evil, conniving scumbags.
That hard to understand?
Like, is nobody explaining that to him?
Really sucks.
It really does.
Now, apparently, Tucker Carlson has been summoned to the White House for addressing down by Donald Trump.
At least that's the assumption.
From the Daily Beast, Trump summoned to break up vicious MAGA fight.
Hardline MAGA mouthpiece.
Let me fix this for them here.
Sorry, let me edit your activity, Daily Beast.
Hardline Israel first mouthpiece, Laura Loomer, has roped the White House into her feud with Tucker Carlson, demanding that the president personally step in and admonish the former Fox News host.
Loomer has launched attack after attack at Carlson since his heated interview on Friday with U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckleby.
The two-hour showdown threw gasoline on the simmering feud between different wings of the MAGA movement, with Carlson drawing the ire of Loomer and her supporters by criticizing U.S. ties with Israel.
In a flurry of posts on social media Monday, Loomer frantically called on Trump to condemn Carlson, once one of his biggest cheerleaders, and urged Attorney General Pambondi to go after him for being, as she puts it, a national security threat.
So you have die-hard Zionist MAGA infiltrator Laura Loomer demanding that Trump's DOJ go after Tucker Carlson as a criminal or a terrorist, a threat to national security.
Why?
Because he asked Mike Huckabee questions and let him answer.
So he actually put the ambassador to Israel, put questions to him that were not easy to answer.
And the way Mike Huckabee answered, it's actually terrible.
It was actually so bad.
His answers might have been so ridiculous that it stopped World War III, believe it or not.
I'm not even exaggerating.
So apparently Trump's plans for military action on Iran could have been complicated by Ambassador Huckabee's implied endorsement of Greater Israel.
So this is from a either Washington Post or New York Times article.
It says, further complicating any final decisions on military strikes, Arab leaders have been calling counterparts in Washington to complain about comments from Mike Huckabee, the U.S. ambassador to Israel.
In an interview with Tucker Carlson, the conservative commentator that aired on Friday, Mr. Huckabee said Israel had a right to much of the Middle East, outraging Arab diplomats in countries that the United States is hoping will support, or at least not openly oppose, an American attack on Iran.
And that includes Saudi Arabia saying, yeah, we're not going to actually let you attack Iran from our state anymore.
So if they were planning on having bases inside areas controlled by Saudi Arabia, they'd be launching attacks on.
That wasn't possible after Mike Huckabee did more than this little snippet says.
He didn't say that Israel had a right to much of the Middle East.
He said he would put no barriers to them conquering whatever they wanted.
He basically said, all of the Middle East is theirs by divine right.
And it's just a matter of killing the people that are occupying the place now.
Which I can understand why the people who live there and run those countries wouldn't be so happy with the ambassador to America basically giving Israel the green light to kill or conquer all of them.
It's less of a, it's like, what a bizarre situation.
It wasn't like a faux pas.
It wasn't like a diplomatic accident.
It was just like the genuine beliefs of the American leadership had never been expressed in public, had never been questioned, had never been asked about.
And so, when actually put on the spot and actually, when the ambassador to Israel expresses what his actual beliefs are and what the American government actually has planned, the Arab governments are like, what the hell?
We're not going to stand for this.
This is so strange.
I guess you can call it a diplomatic faux pas.
You could call it a diplomatic accident.
I don't know what you call it, but no, it's just the truth.
New York Times details succession plan for Iran.
Iran views U.S. strikes as inevitable and imminent.
U.S. officials say U.S. is willing to hold another round of talks Friday if Iran submits proposals soon.
They don't look like they are planning to negotiate at all.
And it's not a surprise because the negotiations are rigged completely against them.
Why would they?
Why would they engage in negotiations with a country so aligned to Israel, so willing to kill negotiators or just lie blatantly?
Obviously, they're not going to do that.
And so what they're doing now, what the Iranian leadership is now doing, is giving orders to all of their soldiers to continue to fight on regardless of communication.
So this was a lesson they learned from the Iraq war during the Iraq war.
By taking out some of the main nodes of the Iraqi military, they were able to cut off communications and yet a lot of the battalions of the Iraqi military not getting orders, basically just surrendering because they didn't know what the hell else to do.
And so Iran is taking measures against that inevitability by basically giving orders to all of their people, you fight to the end, like Japan in World War II.
So it doesn't even matter if we take out the leadership.
It doesn't even matter if we flatten their capital.
They've got 90 million people, an incredibly mountainous region, that we're not going to conquer in the next 10 years, no matter how much energy and resources we put towards it.
And we don't even have energy or resources to put it towards it in the first place.
According to the people who know, like this, U.S. military chief said to urge Trump to exercise caution on any action against Iran.
The U.S. military chief has reportedly warned U.S. President Donald Trump that an extended military campaign against Iran could have significant negative effects on the U.S. and its military preparedness.
According to the Wall Street Journal, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan McCain, I'm sorry, Dan Kaine, has warned Trump that an extended conflict, quote, could incur significant costs to U.S. forces and munitions stockpiles.
The newspaper reports that concerns have also been voiced that if the U.S. uses up large amounts of air defense munitions and other items that are in limited supply, it will curtail its ability to counter China in any future conflict.
The Axios news site first reported earlier today about Kane's airing of concerns to Trump, who is said to still be weighing his options ahead of schedule with Tehran on Thursday in Geneva.
The United States is holding meetings in Geneva with Russian and Chinese delegations about nuclear weapons after the final treaty restricting Washington and Moscow's nuclear deployment expired, U.S. officials said.
So again, Trump is confused for some reason about why his support is collapsing.
He does not seem to understand why his supposed successes aren't translating into widespread support.
I have the feeling that's because he's surrounded by, I guess in a word, you could say, Laura Loomer types.
If you're wondering what the hell's going on and what the hell is wrong with the Trump administration, just look at Laura Loomer and imagine 12 of her surrounding Donald Trump.
Yeah.
No wonder he doesn't know what the hell is going on.
Don't know who to trust.
He's surrounded by a bunch of criminals and liars like Howard Lutnick and Laura Loomer for that matter.
Laura Loomer says, everybody needs to be pressuring the White House to issue a statement condemning Tucker Carlson this week.
Don't you love how they just say things like that?
There's like commands.
Everybody needs to be pressuring the White House to issue a statement.
Lady, I'll tell you what you need.
I'm going to tell you what you need.
You need to go away forever.
His efforts to derail the GOP and his non-stop sabotage of Donald Trump must end.
Really?
Because if he'd listened to Tucker Carlson, he wouldn't be in the situation he's in now.
His support is collapsing because he keeps listening to Laura Loomer and people like her.
Trump's support is declining in exact proportion to the amount of favors he does to Laura Loomer and her friends and her actual country of loyalty.
He thinks he can just walk into the White House like he owns the place because his son works there.
She's like so seething and jealous.
Everyone with moral clarity needs to pressure the White House and end this insanity once and for all.
President Trump must condemn Tucker Carlson.
Enough is enough.
And she's like, would you leave him alone, you bitch?
Would you leave Donald Trump alone?
My God, literally everything you say to him is the opposite of what he needs to hear.
And she's like, I think he just wants to shut these people up so he does whatever they say.
I think the police were interested a little bit more in your statements that Muslims needed a final solution.
I understand you're a humorous drunk at the moment, and I'm going to offend you by saying that, but your statements are beyond just causing frivolous offense, aren't they?
They're to mask an extremely nefarious and actually violent agenda.
But I know I encourage points of order from the floor, and I don't want to humiliate you further than you've already humiliated yourself.
So I think it's important that I move on.
So if we were to measure offence and then we find someone, the weakest person, to measure how much is permissible, some of you come pre-programmed with your offence already written into you.
Someone in here, some pro-Palestine, pro-LGBTQ, pro-bisexual, queer, curious ally with a nut allergy is pre-programmed and probably freaking gluten-free as well.
It's pre-programmed to be offended.
And that is precisely the issue.
Why are we not...
No, Teddy.
Why are we not?
I'll see you after.
Why are we not raising people strong?
Why are we not challenging people and offending them to build them strong?
When I went through the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, the point is that your sinews are tested and made strong by being tested.
And the reason that people are offended, in truth, is because you touch upon something that hurts them.
And it hurts them because when we don't know ourselves well, we can be offended because we are not strong enough.
I urge you, good young people of the Cambridge Union, do allow yourself to be offended.
Do know yourself because when you know yourself, you can rise above it.
And I urge you to let your life be full of all the feelings, all the dirty lot of it, including the ability to feel what it's like to be offended.
My darlings, we will vote in support of this motion, this house defends the right.
I think the ability to feel the emotion of being offended is so important in order to be able to understand why it upsets you, in order to be able to recover from it.
And I speak this as someone who has been offended probably more than most.
You know, I like seeing kind of the independent streak that's really grown and blossomed since 2016 within the Republican Party, whatever you want to call it.
It's kind of time to leave the GOP and the Democrats behind and look for something else.
But of course, people are still going to run in the two-party system.
And these more independent-leaning candidates, like a fishback, like a putsch, like an Aaron Baker, who's running against Randy Fine.
We've also had him on the show.
It's very fun and very cool to be able to talk to those people and actually, you know, share a platform with them.
I think it's what's wrong with the establishment candidates.
I said this last night on the Gray Area show I do with Tim Tompkins on our Sunday broadcast.
They want people that are just empty suits.
And like, what does that mean?
It's you wear the uniform.
It doesn't matter who you are necessarily.
You're a part of the board.
You're a part of the system.
You're a good unit, right?
You're a production line finished product in the political system of Washington, D.C.
And ultimately, these independent or Republican-leaning, but really independent streak candidates like a Fishback, like a Putsch, like Aaron Baker, they come out of left field because they actually sound like a human being, right?
They're meeting with people on the ground.
They're actually doing grassroots outreach.
They don't have the $40 million that Byron gets or the hundreds of millions that Vivek has by nature.
It's just them trying to make a difference.
And if you look at Fishback specifically, he's close to within striking distance.
That's still very far away, but we're six months out.
It's what we thought we were getting when we voted for Trump, right?
It's an end to the wars.
It's domestic sovereignty.
It's taking care of our own above other people.
And if you run on that going forward into the future, especially with the pro-war stuff coming out of the Republican Party, especially after the kind of failed economic recovery that we've had, you're going to win if you promise real solutions.
Instead of just saying, I'm MAGA, vote for me.
Isn't that wonderful?
It's like, you know, convicted murderer or something, like puppy strangler.
Well, and it's, but it's just, it's, it's interesting because both Casey Putch and Fishback and some of these others, but these two guys stand out in my mind as being unapologetic, but in a way that works.
Because a lot of people, they see that Trump says bombastic things, then refuses to apologize, and they kind of try to take that tack, and it doesn't work for them because it's not natural for them.
I think even DeSantis is kind of one of these characters.
And you see a lot of this, you know, the outdated ethos of kind of like, you know, they're trying to copy a 2016 Trump run, but it's really, you know, a Mitt Romney run or a John McCain run.
Even if you have the colors and the symbols, the substance has to be there or it doesn't work.
And you talk about Casey Butch, you talk about Fishback, talk about all these other people.
They've been successful in other fields and they come into that.
It seems like the pro-war, pro-Iran conflict on the right.
And I saw you covering it a little bit, not to interrupt here, but you talk about the conflict where you have actual military leaders and military professionals saying, sir, please don't do this.
I find it interesting that people that read affiliate codes for money are in charge of our domestic or foreign war policy.
Okay.
I find that to be quite chalky.
You could say, oh, well, y'all are talking about war and conflict too.
Yeah, we want to end it.
We don't want it to be perpetuated.
It's not our business model.
Right.
So why do these people, you know, whether it's a Misfit Patriot or Laura Loomer or whatever, why do they go out there and feel comfortable making money off of death?
Because when you're backing a war, when you're backing a conflict, even when you're saying, we have to do it, we have to save the world from this evil theocratic regime.
Well, you're a hypocrite because you also support another theocratic regime that's killing people.
So we don't get to pick and choose.
How about as Americans, we can just say, it's enough already.
We apologize.
We're out.
We don't want to bomb you anymore.
And I feel like that's a very simple message.
And to be like, to be anti-that, you have to either say you're weak for saying that.
You don't want brave Americans to go do what needs to be done.
And it's like that narrative's been busted for 30 years.
It's been busted since the early 90s, since the Gulf War, right?
Like, like, it's meaningless.
It doesn't mean anything.
On the other end, you say, oh, you don't think we could do it?
It's like, yeah, we probably could do it.
Wouldn't it be better not to spend billions of dollars, though?
Maybe even if we give it to all the people here and to give buy honey buns and they all get fat.
Okay, well, they say they're okay with Russia or China doing it.
Okay, well, they can't have ballistic missiles that can reach Israel.
Where does it stop?
Where does it stop exactly?
And in order to protect Israel's security interests in the region, which we say are our security interests, we have to go in there and carpet bomb the place because they won't give up their means to defend themselves.
It's basically just that they can't be allowed to have weapons.
They can't be allowed to have anything to defend themselves.
And it's just absurd.
And they're starting negotiations on that point.
They're saying to start, first you have to agree to completely disarm yourself, make yourself totally vulnerable to attack from us, then we'll talk.
And it's like, obviously, they're not going to fall for that.
And the last two years has been filled with fake negotiations where we end up bombing the negotiators.
We have, because we keep doing what Israel says, we're allowing Israel to act out of hand and bomb negotiators and stuff, we have no leverage whatsoever.
We have no trust.
We are screwed.
All we can do now is either back down and look like fools or attack and start World War III.
Well, let's not forget the IAEA inspectors that went into Iran and were cooperating with them.
The Iranians were working with them at all.
They give the Israelis and the Americans the military intelligence on where to bomb.
Now, how does that work for long-term trust and relationships?
I don't care, ooh, we ganked him, we got him, we shivved him in the throat.
Isn't that cool?
Okay, are you ready to shive the next 20 nations in the throat too?
It's just, I'm tired of my country looking like a fool on the world stage, looking like an arrogant fool on the world stage, got to be honest with you here.
I want real peace through strength, which is an end to the wars and end to the foreign conflicts.
And I thought that's what I voted for.
And I'm very, very, very tired of being told I'm a panican, I'm a black pillar, I'm an XYZ when I just want promises made, promises kept.
You said you would not do this.
I have to believe the only reason you haven't done it yet, President Trump, is because you know it's lights out for your entire career and legacy if you do this.
Because let's not forget how many times you called out Obama, insulted his masculinity, all of it, saying that he would attack Iran because he needed to prove that he was tough.
What's being done to you right now, Mr. President?
It would be one thing, honestly, if Kamala was doing this and people voted for Kamala and she said she wanted to have the most lethal military, blah, blah, blah.
If she wanted to do it, we could just call it out as outright evil.
But because it's Trump doing it and all the while saying he's pro-peace, pro-negotiation, you still have people trying to negotiate with themselves like a battered wife syndrome.
Like, oh, like, maybe he'll stop hitting me.
Maybe we'll figure it out.
All you have to do, Trump, to really regain a lot of the support that you lost is to take those ships back home and say, we're not doing this.
And of course, it's not a surprise that the other countries in the Middle East are pissed off at Mike Huckabee, the ambassador to Israel from America, coming out and going, yeah, you know, I don't really care what Israel wants to do.
So apparently Trump's plan for military action on Iran has been complicated by Huckabee's implied endorsement of Greater Israel, further complicating any final decision on military strikes.
Arab leaders have been calling counterparts in Washington to complain about the comments from Mike Huckabee.
Uh-oh, uh-oh, the U.S. ambassador to Israel.
In an interview with Tucker Carlson, the conservative commentator that aired Friday, Huckabee said Israel had a right to much, I think he said all, basically in the Middle East, outraging Arab diplomats in countries that the United States is hoping will support or at least not openly oppose an American attack on Iran.
I mean, just like, how much disrespect do we want to give people?
I know we can slap people around.
We got the military.
We got the brand deals, all the countries, whatever.
There's a limit to the disrespect.
And there's that old saying about a straw and it breaking a camel's back.
Maybe the next baseline performance where he's got the guitar out and he's dropping a sick baseline.
Maybe that's too much.
Maybe NBS calls Trump and is like, we cannot do this anymore, Brad.
I mean, but it's really bizarre that America at this point is controlled by these religious fanatics, whether they're Jewish or evangelical Christians.
I mean, I did a big report years ago about how in like 2003, George Bush was talking to, I think it was Sarkozy, the French president, and he's talking about Gog and Magog and the Battle of Armageddon.
And the French president is like, I need a biblical scholar to explain what the hell the president of the United States is talking about because our leadership is talking in this like, you know, mystic, like Old Testament prophecy stuff.
And they're like, what the hell?
We're trying to stop a war here.
And you're talking about prophecies that are being fulfilled.
And it's like, you can believe that stuff.
It shouldn't be a guiding force of our foreign policy.
Well, and that's, I'm sorry to step on your point there.
This is, this is what I was going to say.
They want to tell us that Iran, they make the woman wear the burqa or they beat her with the club and all that, and she can't be a doctor.
They want to say that's theocracy, evil.
We have to invade.
They murder the protester, blah, blah, blah.
Biblical genocide.
D.B. Netanyahu declared the Palestinians Amalek and then started systematically killing all of them and bombing them and dropping bombs on their heads.
And they say, 30,000 protesters killed in Iran.
And they say, oh, it was like 80,000 in Gaza, but 80% Hamas.
And then you look at an aerial photo of Gaza.
It doesn't exist anymore.
It looks like Bikini Atoll after they dropped the freaking nuke on it, man.
So you want to tell me that I have to commit to American blood and treasure, American lives being lost in Iran because it's a theocracy, quote unquote.
But I have to pay into and support another theocracy committing a genocide in the Middle East.
Sorry, not doing it.
I don't care how much money they gave you.
I don't care how nice the plane rides are, how nice the PR propaganda teams are.
Enough already.
All right.
It doesn't matter.
You get Emily Saves America or Xavier De Rousseau up there posing with the fake food.
No one's buying it.
Like, look at this.
They want to say this is like a targeted strike.
And that's like when I defecate all over my toilet, you know, I'd say, oh, you know, it's a targeted strike.
And, you know, it turns out the Hamas-controlled Gaza health ministry underplayed the number of dead.
A new study in The Lancet is by far the most rigorous and serious done yet into the number of casualties in Gaza.
Here's why it gives you the best indication of the real numbers.
One, it used face-to-face interviews with 2,000 households and achieved a 97.2% response rate, providing a rare validation of official figures while accounting for under-reporting due to hospital collapses.
So basically, yeah, it took into account the fact that there's no official way to even be counting all of the dead.
So it says the study's estimate of around 35% undercount allows with a previous independent capture-recapture model published in early 2025.
This methodology, convergence, gives experts higher confidence in the 75,000 plus figure.
That means we need to take these figures very seriously.
What they show is that there were 75,200 violent deaths between October 7, 2023 and January 5th, 2025 alone.
So it's not including the last year of war.
Roughly 56% of those killed were women, children, or elderly individuals projected out forward.
The discrepancy between those numbers and the Ministry of Health numbers would suggest well over 100,000 violent deaths.
The number of indirect deaths could well be over, could be well over 200,000.
That's a genocide unfolding with numbers still getting higher every day.
Yeah, if we could get the gray area, if we get the gray area up, maybe show the gray area Twitter really quick.
Really appreciate anyone who goes to Shroom Force and decides to get on the newsletter or get on the wait list or want to support it any way you want.
But really want to plug the gray area.
I do a very phenomenal show with my co-host Tim Tompkins.
We're live every Thursday and Sunday.
On Sundays, we do usually a three-plus hour show.
We have a phenomenal guest on, like you were talking about, had Casey Pusch on, had Fishback on, have had you on, as well as your co-host, Lebanon John.
So if you want to come find me and you want to see more of my broadcast media and more of my takes, just go follow Gray Area Talks on X and get started with me.
They're two ancillary products that are designed to be taken with methylene blue.
I got to really brag on PowerPlant.
Methyl Drive is an amazing daily driver.
If you want to get CoQ10 and PQQ in your system, you know, for the heart function, for the mitochondrial function, for the balance, all of it.
But if you want a true performance supplement, you know, a lot of people back in the day, they loved our X3 and they loved our supermale vitality because it really aided in exercise and aided in performance.
I wanted to figure out how I could supercharge that.
So I put two of my favorite compounds, which are Rodolia Rosia, also known as Arctic Root or Golden Root.
It's what the Vikings literally took on the boats.
Okay, it's the most powerful stuff there is.
I put that together with cordyceps mushroom, which everyone knows boosts your oxygen carrying capacity, makes you make more energy.
I put those together with a really powerful mineral blend, and it's available in the power drive bundle.
So if you go get that or you go subscribe to it, I guarantee bang for your buck, pure power potential compared with anything else besides methylene blue, you're not going to find anything better.
And it's even better when you take them all combined together.
So get whatever products you want from the Alex Jones store.
Plus, if you're a VIP member, that's an extra $10.
So really, you can get a lot of stuff for practically free if you're a VIP member at thealxjonesstore.com or for just $10 off, no matter who goes to, the AlexJonesStore.com.
And just, yeah, a ton of fantastic products, including new t-shirt designs on almost a daily basis.
And we have some very sort of aggressive and, you know, big InfoWars branded shirts, which are always very cool.
So the story from New York Post, Jeffrey Epstein stashed secret files in storage units across the U.S. that may include unseen evidence.
So according to the New York Post, Jeffrey Epstein secretly stashed computers, photographs, and other items in storage units scattered across the U.S. and paid private detectives to move the material around as investigators closed in on him.
According to a new report, financial records and emails reviewed by the Telegraph reveal, the dead pedophile rented at least six storage lockers nationwide, some starting in 2003, and paid for them until 2019, the year he died by suicide in lockup.
So, yeah, we were saying, I just got out bid again.
No, it's uh, you know, let's talk about the UK a little bit because I don't know if you've seen these, but uh, some of the stuff coming out of the UK is just absolutely horrifying.
Like, I haven't even wanted to talk about this stuff because of it's horrible.
Yeah, no, yeah, it's uh, and the some of the descriptions are worse than you can possibly imagine.
Um, but let's go ahead and start with uh clip 12 here because this lays out exactly why Peter Mandelson was arrested.
Let's watch.
unidentified
No mistake about it, Mark.
This is a seismic moment, not only for Peter Mandelson, but for British politics as a whole.
Six months ago, the man that you can see in the pictures was the British ambassador to Washington, one of the maybe half dozen most powerful figures in this country,
personally appointed by Keir Starmer against elements even of his own better judgment, persuaded of it, we believe, by his then chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, because he was thought to be the only man who could bridge the divide with Donald Trump's White House after the U.S. president returned to the White House for the second time.
Peter Mandelson believed to be the only person who could help Britain and sort out its trading and relationship with the U.S. at this tricky time.
Today, being taken away, as you can see, by police.
Peter Mandelson has denied any wrongdoing, but I suspect there will be a lot of focus on those emails that we heard so much about.
Emails from the last time Gordon Brown was in the British government when Peter Mandelson was in the British government, when Gordon Brown was prime minister.
Peter Mandelson, then business secretary, alleged to have forwarded emails.
That's what the Epstein emails suggested, forwarded emails to Jeffrey Epstein, potentially containing confidential government material.
The allegation that he tipped off Jeffrey Epstein about an impending EU bailout and that he notified the financier about the activities of the British government and gave advice to big US bankers to mildly threaten the then UK Chancellor delay.
Yeah, and I think it speaks to how much more gangster our establishment is because over there, they're old school.
They're like, hey, someone's got to go away for all this.
Someone's got to take a fall.
You understand?
We made you not a prince anymore.
We're going to send you to the jail for six months.
We're sorry.
We have to do it to you.
Over here, it's like Crips and Blood shooting each other on PCP in the street.
Anything that can be weaponized, like if a Democrat is in the files, they'll know everything we can about Bill Clinton, but then we're also in the files, so we can't go after it there.
And it's just this whole thing as to that there's no congruency of thought.
And the public is seeing this in regards to the file.
It's nothing, but all the names are redacted and you can't release anything.
It's just, they don't want to be hypocrites because they know that's going to make them lose the support of the public.
So even if it's symbolic, they will bury someone over in Europe.
We will not do it because everyone's got to scratch somebody else's back.
And it's embarrassing that the UK is doing, especially when the UK has basically been a rapeocracy for the last couple of decades.
Like, that's what's the confusing part to me is like, I expect UK to be worse than us at everything because they're basically committing suicide on a national scale.
But then they're able to pull off stuff like this or even other stuff when it comes to Europe.
So this all came from, I was looking into grooming gangs in London and I was looking through investigations that didn't really come to pass, but there being strong evidence of there being a grooming gang.
And one of the lines that we noticed was a girl who'd been coerced to go to a hotel, been raped by multiple men.
And then one of the officers has said, why don't we give them a child ablution warning notice?
So immediate question that me and my colleague that were looking at this had was, okay, what's one of those?
What we essentially found was that in the years that followed the Rotherham-Rochdale scandals, the police were looking around for a way to tackle this massive problem, which had always been there, but people weren't, they were turning a blind eye to, right?
And these pedophile Asbos were kind of the perfect response because what they would do was when they would come up with a concerning situation with a child, or actually even worse than that, clear evidence of exploitation or child rape, they would give one of the suspects one of these warning notices.
Now, in the bit that you just read, they said that they're effective.
We went through to see whether there was any test of whether these things were effective.
And the research, you just see a long trail of academics all saying, we need to do more research to see whether these warning notices actually work.
Now, the Kia Starma bit kind of came at the end because we, when we were going through it, we're kind of like, okay, so the police started using these to tackle them.
When did they come about?
Well, Mr. Starmer, who is quite keen to talk about in the House of Commons, I was the Rochdale prosecutor.
I was the first person to do that.
The first mention that we find is in the report that you've put up on the screen where it talks about drafting and agreeing them with police chiefs.
Now, why on earth the CPS was drafting and agreeing a tool for police chiefs to be using for this?
I don't know.
But the name on the top of that document is Keir Starmer.
And they can say, oh, you know, there's lots of other stuff going on.
When he wants to be involved as being the Groom and Gangs prosecutor, he is.
And when there's something that's a bit inconvenient like this, which has been used, it's the number one tool.
Disruption is the number one way that the British police deal with child sexual exploitation.
It's like, okay, Peter Mandelson was friends with Jeffrey Epstein, but your entire system has covered up things that are worse than you can even find in the Epstein files.
I mean, the latest statement from the rape gang inquiry under Robert Lowe is truly horrifying.
There's a reason Keir Sarmer is prime minister, right?
And it was that right there.
He actually was instrumental in helping to cover up and perpetuate the rape gang scandal.
That's why he was made prime minister.
Make no mistake about it.
So now that they're all angry that, you know, this guy was connected to Jeffrey Epstein, it's like, fine, but your entire system is built on the fact that the industrial level rape.
Yeah, the cultural suicide is really something to behold, right?
And that's why you talked about not even wanting to watch stuff going on in the UK because like this is this is cartoon bad.
I mean, a rape gang does something to a little kid and then they give one of them a letter.
I mean, what happened?
You know, I think I know what happened.
When the West dropped capital punishment and said it was too mean and it was too cruel and you can't do this to people and everybody's got to have a chance because you can't give the state all this power.
What happened?
We've started killing all the wrong people and we've started paying to keep all the right people alive.
I would like to see that turn on its head a little bit.
That's my honest take on this because you shouldn't be getting a letter.
During this specific period of abuse, she witnessed the murder of at least three girls, one of whom was allegedly killed as a punishment for speaking to the police force.
And I guarantee you, the police were made police officers specifically because it was like, well, these poor Pakistanis, they don't like being policed by white people and that makes them feel bad.
To feel more, you know, involved, we need to put them in police uniform so that they can be a part of the community.
And then you've got rape gang members in the police force.
And not only that, and we've, I report on this six years ago, I think at this point, but more people are finding more accounts where they were also running orphanages, right?
They would put these people in charge of orphan.
No, literally, they would run orphanages like brothels.
So like, imagine being a child who has lost their family, who has nobody else looking for them.
And the state-runned orphanage is literally lending you out on a daily basis.
And that culture, the migrant rape gang culture, it pairs so well with the British elite.
They're Sympatico.
I mean, look at Jimmy Seville.
Okay.
This guy would donate to hospitals with paralyzed wards and he would go in there and do things to paralyze children.
Okay.
So they say, okay, we've got a new permanent underclass that's going to be a part of our scams and a part of our murder campaigns and a part of our rape campaign.
And it's a, I mean, I don't understand it, obviously, because I can't put myself in the mindset of these people.
But I think you're right that there's some sort of fellow feeling with the Pakistani rape gangs.
And that is certainly a part of why the cover-up was allowed to happen because the class system in Britain is still so strong and prevalent that a lot of people just thought, oh, these lower-income, lower-class girls are getting in trouble.
Well, that's what the lower class does.
You know, they don't look after their kids and their kids are all messed up.
We played that video of King Charles and that one lone protester saying, like, like, you're covering up for the abuse of children and yelling at him trying to get him to acknowledge some truth.
And you got the British people going, God save the king.
How dare you?
How dare you criticize?
I don't even know what you call him.
He's not no king to me.
He's just Charles, Unc Charles, Uncle Charles.
They're just fawning over him and worshiping him.
And the one guy who's trying to call it out, they shout him down the most.
I want to make this point because obviously it's a cultural problem.
Obviously, the Pakistani rape gangs, they do this.
But beyond anything, you have to understand there's the racial narrative that gets people incensed on both sides because maybe you're a minority.
You're like, why are they coming after the Pakistanis?
Or maybe you're a white person or a British person.
You're like, I don't want these people in my country.
Well, why are they in your country?
The elite class in your country pairs with them perfectly.
So it's the same exact system.
And we've got to realize the metal level conclusion, which is these systems, they got to go.
And that ties us into what we started covering at the beginning of this episode, which is what's going on in Mexico and the level of tolerance of corruption that it can get to.
What we have in the West is a beautiful and wonderful and almost impossible to achieve thing.
And we are losing it very rapidly because of these pedophile scumbags that, you know, just control all the strings.
We have to seize them back with alacrity and intensity.
