Receiving this transmission, you are the Resistance.
The Resistance is a production of the United States.
The Grid.
The Digital Frontier.
The Grid.

So, FBI operatives were organizing the attack on the Capitol on January 6th, according to government documents.

questions.
tucker carlson
And those two are not alone.
In all, Revolver News reported that there are, quote, upwards of 20 unindicted co-conspirators in the Oathkeeper indictments, all playing various roles in the conspiracy, who have not been charged for virtually the exact same activities, and in some cases, much, much more severe activities, as those named alongside them in the indictments.
unidentified
Huh?
tucker carlson
So it turns out that this white supremacist insurrection was, again, by the government's own admission in these documents organized, at least in part, by government agents.
Frank, it's all yours.
unidentified
Over to you.
Well, Tucker can pick one of two choices.
He can plead total ignorance of what undided co-conspirator means, or he can admit that he's trying to deceive the public.
It's one or the other.
Maybe both.
That's not what undided co-conspirator means.
And in fact, if there were FBI operatives inside the crowd, and they would never be Charged as unindicted co-conspirators.
This makes absolutely no sense.
But I'll tell you what does make sense, Brian.
We've learned just today through MSNBC and NBC News reporting that at least one of the defendants in the January 6th case has been asked by FBI agents, do you know anyone in Congress?
And so now when you put those two things together, there's some interest in the GOP and Congress spreading this disinformation that It was the FBI who did all of this on January 6th.
Why?
Because just maybe, just maybe, the FBI's looking at them.
harrison smith
Well, hello, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome back to Sunday Night Live.
My name's Harrison Smith.
I had to stop myself there from saying good morning.
You get into habits, don't you?
Of course, I'm the host of the morning program here on InfoWars, American Journal.
Very, very happy to be with you here on this Sunday evening, this Father's Day.
Oh, what a day it is.
I'm a first-time father, you may say.
It's my first Father's Day.
It's been extremely fun and there's nowhere I would rather be because I'm pretty sure my dad is watching right now.
Hi, how you doing dad?
Happy Father's Day.
Glad you're joining us as well.
Now, if you're out there and your father maybe is somewhere else, you gave him a phone call today.
You think, you know, it's Yeah, Father's Day, you know, it's just one of these holidays.
Gift card, phone call, that's... that's enough, right?
Frankly, no, it's not.
Okay?
As a first-time father, my four months of experience as a father has taught me, it's not an easy thing.
It is not a...
Easy process to go through.
So, no, your call was not good enough.
In fact, you're going to have to do a little bit more.
You're going to have to go to Infowarsstore.com.
It's required of you as a responsible child who wants to show your father the right respect and reverence, I should say.
Go to InfoWarsStore.com right now.
Buy yourself, or buy your dad, rather, a gift for Father's Day.
There's still time.
You can still forward him the email saying, congratulations on your purchase.
He doesn't have to get it right now.
He knows it's on his way, and that's good enough.
It's the thought that counts, after all.
And when you go to InfoWarsStore, not only are you going to get a fantastic gift for your father, you are going to help support the news that hopefully he enjoys.
At least we'll benefit from when we retake this great country from the scumbags that now occupy the highest offices in the land.
InfoWarsStore.com, that's where you go to support us, support all of the broadcasts that we do.
Support us, new fathers here at InfoWars, and you can get a great gift for your father as well.
There's great books and, you know, survival gear and all sorts of wonderful stuff at InfoWarsStore.com.
There's a little something for absolutely everybody.
Now, I'm very excited to be with you here tonight because of the structure of this program.
Typically, when I host the American Journal, we have scheduled breaks every few minutes.
You're aware of the process.
And that means I don't always get to play full videos of things.
You know, if we only have 10 minutes in a segment and the video's 13 minutes long or whatever, it just doesn't work out.
I'm going to take advantage of the fact that we are largely commercial free right now, and we are going to play some videos, the list of which is being delivered to me as we speak.
Look at that.
That's the type of professional crew that you get when you go to InfoWarsStore.com.
I'm going to play a video of a...
Dad that has been going a little bit viral recently his name is Ty Smith and you no doubt have run into this video in the last week it's been trending on Twitter regularly it's been featured on Many, many news organizations, news sites and stuff, you know, after it was on InfoWars, it eventually has filtered through and is still rather popular.
And I'm excited to announce that tomorrow on American Journal, we will actually have Ty Smith on the program with us to talk about his experience, what inspired him to stand up against critical race theory and what the fallout has been since then.
And like I said, You've probably seen this video in bits and pieces.
Even on Twitter you can only put up two minutes or whatever of a video.
But I'm going to show you the full video here because we have time.
Because this is the type of latitude that we're given with InfoWars.
It really is amazing.
I talk about it all the time on American Journal.
The fact that I can talk about whatever I want.
The fact that if I I feel like spending two hours on a Friday talking about the Alamo because the leftists are trying to tear it down.
I can do that because what it's about is fighting the information war on whichever fronts present themselves at that time.
And right now, the front that we are embarked upon is the war against fatherhood.
So this video I'm going to show you is Ty Smith in its Full glory, not a two-minute segment, not a one-minute segment, but full six-minute video of Ty Smith, this guy, this father, standing up against critical race theory in his school zone.
I titled the video, you know, if every parent was like Ty Smith, there would be no critical race theories in school.
We need more parents standing up like this.
And again, I want to show you this because tomorrow morning, On American Journal, I will be talking to Ty Smith about everything surrounding this particular event.
So here it is in its full glory, Ty Smith letting the school board know what he thinks about critical race theory.
unidentified
Ty Smith?
Ty Smith.
And what I want to do is I want to talk about when we think about critical race theory, what comes to mind?
What comes to mind?
When you say the word critical, what comes to your mind when you think about the word critical?
I have two degrees in medicine.
You know what critical means to us?
Critical means that the person is almost getting ready to die, or they most surely will die.
So when you say critical race theory, you might think of it in the sense that, oh, this information is critical that they know, as of the up and important.
But when I think about critical race theory, I think about critical as in, this is getting ready to kill something, or kill somebody.
So, most likely what's going to happen when this gets taught to our children?
I'll give you an example here.
I was in the third grade.
And I was on welfare.
Go figure.
And we had something called a lunch card.
Our teacher would let the kids that got the cold lunch or got lunch from home, they got to go online first.
The ones that had the lunch card, we had to go behind them.
Time after time, that kept on happening.
I'm in there thinking, like, man, this is messed up.
How come the kids have got a cold munch?
How come the kids have got a munch from school?
Why do they get to go before me?
I started feeling real down and bad about myself.
What makes them kids more special?
What makes them different?
What makes them so cool that they get to go first, while us with the munch truck get to go in the back?
So, I started piecing pieces of things together, like, man, this is messed up.
Why?
These people that actually got the lunch, the ones that had the cold lunch, the ones that had to go get to go first, they were some of my friends.
I started disassociating myself with them.
I started actually hating them.
I actually started disliking them because I felt that they had something that I didn't have.
They had it better than I had.
I actually started getting mad at my home life because why can't I get the cold lunch to bring up here so I can be up there in line?
Why could not?
Now, my friends try to figure out, what's wrong with Ty?
How can he be so mad at us?
I'm mad at them for something that's not even their fault.
I'm getting mad at them because I'm the one that got a list card, they get to go first in line.
But the fact that I was in the third grade, and was able to piece that together and say in the third grade, look what I did.
I conjured up my own perceptions.
of what my friends were.
They weren't looking down on me.
They didn't think they were better than me.
I'm the one that came up with those false perceptions of what my friends were, not them.
So when you talk about critical race theory, which is pretty much gonna be teaching kids how to hate each other, how to dislike each other.
That's pretty much what it's gonna all come down to.
You're going to deliberately teach kids?
This white kid right here got it bad for you because he white?
You're going to purposely tell a white kid?
Oh, the black people are all down to suppress.
How do I have two medical degrees if I'm sitting here oppressed?
No mom, no dad in the house.
Worked my way through college.
Sat there and hustled my butt off to get through college.
You gonna tell me somebody that look like all y'all white folks kept me from doing that?
Are you serious?
Not one white person ever came to me and said, well son, you're never gonna be able to get to work because you know the black people.
But guess what?
What's sickening about this whole thing is what y'all doing right now is already something I do in my community right now to speak out against stuff, because black folks are getting told by other black folks, oh, you know you ain't gonna be able to do nothing out there in the world, because them white folks ain't gonna let you get nowhere.
Oh, you know you're not gonna be able to do your hair, because the white man ain't gonna keep you down.
Well, how did I get where I am right now?
If something white man kept me down.
How am I now directing over folks that look just like you guys in this room right now?
How?
What kept me down?
What oppressed me?
I worked for myself from off the streets to where I am right now.
You gonna sit here and tell me this lie?
A critical race theory?
This is the reason why black folks can't get ahead because of white folks?
Are you kidding me?
This is what we've come to now?
I can't believe we even talking about this right now.
The last thing I'm gonna say right here is something that's crazy.
Martin Luther King said he wanted his kids to grow up in a world where they are judged by the contents of their, what?
Care!
Not their skin.
If they letting this stuff on right now, it is absolutely doing the complete reverse of what he's doing.
So when February comes, don't talk about Martin Luther King.
When February comes, don't talk about blackness and motherfuckers sit there and tell people to pee on his grave with this nonsense.
That's exactly what's about to happen.
Lastly, we are talking about our kids.
We are talking about our children.
What's so sick about me?
I love the Discovery Channel.
You will see that on the Discovery Channel, animals will put their lives on the line to protect their children from danger and protect their children from what we call predators.
They put their lives on the line from predators.
What are we doing?
Oh, just let the kids go, let anything happen to them, let anybody let the, bring in the sexuality stuff right there, pervert these children and all that, let them know that, oh, if somebody touch you, oh, if it felt good to you, it's going to be okay.
Nobody want to get to the heart of the matter, get to the meat of the matter, get to the moral of the story.
It all comes down to it, the person that's going to be suffering from this, the one that's going to be hurting from this, is the kids.
Ten years from now, this stuff goes on, and we see that we producing a whole bunch of kids that's actually super sexually pedophile, acting and all that stuff like that, who's fault is it going to be?
Who's fault is it going to be?
Who are we going to look back on and blame for this?
Because this is the stuff we're talking about right now.
This stuff is going on right now.
I do this stuff on the daily basis.
I'm in the hood.
I'm in the communities.
I'm out there with folks in they face.
I've been doing this stuff since I was 18 years old, talking to black folks.
And you know what?
None of them are buying this nonsense.
None of them are.
But if you want to implement this into the school system, I guarantee you to the day that I die, I'm going to be the very person right there debunking stuff, tearing stuff down, letting them know they can do exactly what I did and get exactly where I am by putting themselves to work and getting there.
And they thought, One white person ever don't keep any of them from getting there.
So CRT stuff, we out.
Oh, my time's up?
Okay, my time is up.
I'm going to finish this real quick.
As far as the masks go, you talking about somebody out there being common sense?
I got two medical degrees.
Guess what?
When it comes to doing things with masks and all that stuff like that, you got something called contact isolation where I serve things that's in the air, right?
So when you go in there, you do something called a PPE, right?
I'm going there with a mask on to protect myself from certain airborne illnesses or trauma precautions and all that.
Guess what?
I've been wearing a mask all this time.
I've been working in the hospital for over 20 some odd years.
I don't have COVID.
Never had it.
Never been vaccinated.
I have not gotten anything whatsoever.
Because guess what?
I follow the ABCs of medicine when it comes to wearing a mask.
So I don't care what Dr. Fauci says.
The basic common sense of it is, his email told you, it's not going to help you from doing anything.
So guess what?
To this day, still have a job to go.
Still have a job to go.
harrison smith
You can just hear the support that he gets from the parents in the room.
The title of that video on InfoWars, epic black dad dismantles critical race theory at school board meeting.
You know, I guess it, you know, whatever, I guess it gives it more credibility that the dude is black because it's critical race theory and this is supposed to be beneficial for black people and he's sort of pointing out how antagonistic it really is and how false that really is, but the reality is, you know, we'd be celebrating any father that stood up like that because it's as he pointed out, you know, In the animal kingdom, animals will die for their young.
I mean, this is a primordial instinct that people have, and yet that is the exact sort of nature that they're trying to eliminate from humanity, that self-sacrificial will or the desire to stand up for what is right against all odds and against the mob, you know, baying against you.
It's...
Fundamental though, isn't it?
It's natural.
It's the way things are supposed to be.
You're supposed to have a father and a mother in the home.
I know this is shocking.
This is blasphemy in the modern age.
We're not even supposed to use those words anymore.
Mother and father.
You know, kind of like Brave New World.
These are supposed to be slurs, insults, sort of nasty concepts that are better to be eliminated and replaced with rule by the state.
So let's talk a little bit about fatherlessness.
and its consequences.
I have to say, if there was one thing that you could do to improve just about everything in terms of the domestic situation here in the United States, it would be to-- like, if you could wave a magic wand and just have one thing happen.
If every child could grow up with two parents in the home married to each other, you would solve just about 90% of the problems domestically in the United States There, the Biden administration using the term a birthing person.
So they're not even comfortable ascribing a gender to the act of procreation, let alone acknowledging the fact that it takes two human beings, preferably in love, to create a Third life.
It's kind of a miracle, you know?
Cass, if moms are birthing people, what do we call dads on Father's Day?
unidentified
Sperm contributors.
harrison smith
Sperm contri- No, hold on.
Hold on.
Is this a joke?
Is this a joke?
I need the control room to tell me.
Is what I just read a joke?
It's not a joke.
Okay.
So it's not Babylon B. That's not Infowars making fun of the idea of birthing persons.
That is a legitimate leftist article suggesting the term sperm contributor to replace the word father.
Okay.
Alright.
So that's real.
So, you know, the war on The war on fatherhood, the war on parenthood, the war on nature itself is in full swing.
Science proves kids are bad for Earth.
Morality suggests we stop having them.
Okay, is morality the name?
Of an evil person?
Because I'd like to talk to this morality and find out why he's telling us not to have more children.
Just despicable stuff.
So let's find out what happens when you don't have a father in the home.
Here's some statistics about fatherless homes from Life is Beautiful, Ministries of Faith, lifeisbeautiful.org.
Eighty-five percent of youth who are currently in prison grew up in a fatherless home.
That's according to the Texas Department of Corrections.
Seven out of ten, seven out of every ten youth that are housed in a state-operated correctional facilities, including detention and residential treatment, come from fatherless homes.
39% of students in the United States from the first grade to their senior year of high school do not have a father at home.
Children without a father are four times more likely to be living in poverty than children with a father.
Children from fatherless homes are twice as likely to drop out from school before graduating than children who have a father in their lives.
24.7 million children in the United States live in a home where their biological father is not present.
That equates to one in every three children in the United States not having access to their father.
And when you break this down by race, it looks real bad for the black community.
Something like I think over at this point, 75% of black children are born into fatherless homes.
You want to talk about systemic discrimination?
You want to talk about a systemic issue that has downstream effects that have been absolutely catastrophic to the black community?
It's the lack of fathers in the home.
Now, that didn't exist to the extent that it exists now back in the day.
That is not a consequence of racism.
It basically, by the stats, can't be, right?
Back when you had much more racism, you had more fathers in the home.
But, here's the thing, it wasn't...
A correlation between the racism or the Jim Crow laws and fatherlessness, or having the father in the home.
It's a correlation between welfare collection.
It's a correlation between dependency on the government.
That's what has increased and that is what has inspired, encouraged, fostered a situation in the black community where 75% of children are born without their fathers in the home.
It's incredibly catastrophic.
Horrific, in my opinion.
I mean, almost unimaginable, but there you go.
And of course, we have the stats from the 1960s, this from a Washington Post article.
Actually, the article itself is from 1982, warning about the danger of the rising rates of fatherlessness in every community across America.
Since then, of course, it has only increased even more, but it does have some good information about even older where they say 1960, only 9% of children lived in a single-parent household.
In that year, 93% of white children and 75% of black children lived in two-parent homes.
This was in 1960.
So in 1960, you had 75% of black children born in two-family homes.
Flash forward to now, you have 75% of black children born outside of two-family homes in single-parent households.
That is a total collapse that is an inverse correlation to the amount of racism that's around in the world.
I think we've made some pretty good strides in the last, what, 60 years since 1960?
In the racism department, but however, what you have seen is massive, massive rises in the welfare state and in this intergenerational phenomenon of people being born without their fathers in the home.
Let's keep going down these stats, shall we?
Girls who live in a fatherless home have a 100% higher risk of suffering from obesity than girls who have their father present.
Teen girls from fatherless homes are also four times more likely to become mothers before the age of 20.
In other words, accidental teen births are increased by four times when you don't have a father in the home.
Again, the solution that we are constantly offered is, why don't you kill the baby?
Let's just keep having irresponsible people go out and do whatever they want, and then we can cover up that irresponsibility with a little touch of murder.
Absent fathers linked to teenage pregnancies.
If Planned Parenthood wanted to do something positive for once, they could really drastically decrease the need for their services.
Decrease teen pregnancy, which I guess is supposedly their mission, by encouraging fathers to stay in the home.
I gotta say, watching my wife deal with the baby over the last four months, and how difficult it has been with me doing everything I can to help, it is pretty despicable to impregnate a woman and then run away.
Pretty much the lowest you could possibly be.
Really despicable stuff.
57% of the fatherless homes in the United States involved African American black households.
Hispanic households have a 31% fatherless rate, while Caucasian white households have a 20% fatherless rate.
That's according to National Public Radio.
But I have different stats from a number of other sources saying 75%, but they might count things differently.
You know, sometimes it's, well, the father's in the home, but they're not married, so there may be some discrepancies.
The point is the numbers are significantly higher for the black community and no doubt contributes to so much of the problems that are instead blamed on racism and used to further aggravate the issues actually causing so much of the problem.
In 2011, 44% of children in homes headed by single mothers were living in poverty.
Just 12% of children in married couple families were living in poverty.
Children who live in single parent homes are more than two times more likely to commit suicide than children in two parent homes.
72% of Americans believe that a fatherless home is the most significant factor, significant social problem and family problem that is facing their country.
Only 68% of children will spend their entire childhood with an intact family.
75% of rapists are motivated by displaced anger that is associated with the feelings of abandonment that involves their father.
This from the United States Department of Justice.
They say 75% of rapists are motivated by father issues.
Now, I'm not sure how you can know that exactly, but it tends to suggest that.
that there is some sort of correlation that is certainly not a positive thing.
Living in a fatherless home is a contributing factor to substance abuse with children from such homes, accounting for 75% of adolescent patients being treated in substance abuse centers.
85% of all children will exhibit some type of behavioral disorder come from fatherless homes.
So 85% of children with a behavioral disorder come from a fatherless home.
90% of the youth in the United States who decide to run away from home or become homeless for any reason originally come from a fatherless home.
63% of youth suicides involve a child who is living in a fatherless home when they made their final decision.
Children who live in a single-parent or step-family home report less schoolwork monitoring, less social supervision, and less educational expectations than children who come from two-parent homes.
Even when poverty levels are equal, children who come from two-parent homes outperform children who come from one-parent homes.
So again, a lot of issues in the United States are blamed on racism.
A lot of other issues are blamed on poverty.
But we see here that there is an underlying issue that perhaps causes or at least aggravates those greater issues and is a major issue in and of itself, and that is the fatherless rate in the United States that continues to increase as the media seems hell-bent on encouraging fatherlessness, encouraging lack of responsibility.
Well, they're really encouraging not even having kids, but certainly not getting married and having children and buying a home and doing all the things that, you know, the American Dream used to be composed of.
Well, the African-American, within the African-American black community, about 2.5 million fathers live with their children, while 1.7 million fathers are not living with them.
In a 2014 study, only 3% of single mothers fell into the strongest demographic groups, while 44% fell into the weakest demographic groups.
I'm not even sure what that particular thing means.
Doesn't sound good.
About 40% of the children in the United States born to mothers who are not married.
Over 60% of these children were born to mothers who are under the age of 30.
25% of children under the age of 18 are currently being raised without the presence of a father.
Around 50% of single mothers have never married.
29% are divorced.
Only 1 in 5 are either separated or widowed.
In single-family households, 30% of single mothers are raising two children on their own, 50% are just one child.
It just goes on and on and on and on and on.
And it's not that complicated to figure out why, right?
There is a most beneficial, most positive experience you can have growing up.
And that is, without a doubt, proven by every measure you could possibly quantify, Having a mother and a father who are both the biological parents of the child they are raising.
That is ideal.
And it's also ideal if the father is working and the mother is able to spend the maximum amount of time with the children in those early years, or even later on.
This has been proven out.
It is obvious.
It's a lot of work to take care of a kid.
A single parent just cannot do it.
It is impossible, especially when they're having to work a job and support themselves at the same time.
But this is one of those issues where there are victims.
It's kind of complicated, isn't it?
Because nobody's blaming the kids whose fathers left.
From personal experience, I know, it can be kind of a touchy subject, obviously, right?
If your dad leaves, you might want to push back on the insinuation that that makes him a bad person or, you know, has made your life more difficult.
But it's not about making people feel good about bad decisions.
It's not about encouraging negative behavior.
Just because it might insult some people.
If your father left, if you were raised by a single mother, you know, you hear a lot of people like, but she did a great job.
She was really strong.
It was amazing.
No doubt.
I'm sure it was.
Seeing my wife struggle, you know, having a, having a husband there, you know, maybe I'm, maybe I'm more useless than other husbands, but I can't imagine a single mother doing it.
It must be the most difficult job in the entire world.
So good for them for not giving up.
Good for them for sticking through it and actually raising their children.
You know, you want to be celebrating them.
But the reality is, this is a major issue.
This is an underlying cause of so many of our problems in America.
And if you could do one thing to increase the outlook of the future in this country and around the world, it would be to encourage and, you know, maybe the government can have programs to convince people, try to get more fathers to stay in the home.
It's as simple as that.
It's because it's the natural order.
It's the way it's supposed to be.
And when you deviate from that, you get all sorts of crazy problems.
alex jones
I started taking high in fish oil and high in krill oil more than a decade ago because the scientific literature is-- Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
harrison smith

So join now while you still can.
A lot of great stuff happening.
Say, how was your Juneteenth, folks?
Was it good?
Not if you're in certain places around America.
It wasn't.
My God, it was a, well, pretty violent holiday, all things considered.
One dead, several injured after shooting near Juneteenth event in Oakland.
Woman ambushes and shoots an officer during a Juneteenth parade elsewhere.
Black crowd cheers as white woman is savagely beaten at the New Jersey Juneteenth riot.
Spiled out of control.
The hometown of, this guy's hometown, Evanston, Illinois, is having a Juneteenth parade.
They had one yesterday, but they're, oh, and they're having a gay pride parade, but they're canceling the Fourth of July parade.
They're going to cancel the 4th of July parade, but they're holding two parades in June, one for gay pride and one for Juneteenth.
Truly incredible.
I've talked a lot about Juneteenth over the last week, how I have a slightly different interpretation of the holiday than most people, it seems, having grown up with Juneteenth.
It was a Texas holiday.
I always thought it was fun, you know, a nice little Nice little holiday to celebrate freedom.
Never once growing up did I ever think that I should somehow feel guilt for the thing that we are celebrating being abolished.
I always thought it was a great holiday of unity, pride in America, pride in our forefathers and the way they destroyed a pernicious and really disgusting human activity that had been going on since the beginning of time.
I always thought it was fun.
Not anymore, though.
Not anymore.
In fact, I was leaving my house yesterday and stopped to talk to my neighbor.
He's a black guy.
And, you know, whenever I'm walking the dog or whatever, we chat for a little bit.
How's it going?
You got a trampoline.
That looks cool.
That looks fun.
You know, just sort of chewing the fat for a little bit.
And when I'm about to leave, I think, oh, it's Juneteenth.
I should wish him a happy Juneteenth.
And I think, no.
No, I'm not going to do that.
It feels weird now.
It feels wrong.
unidentified
Oh, hey!
harrison smith
Hey, happy Juneteenth, man!
Hey, you're black, right?
Hey, happy Juneteenth!
You're welcome, or I'm sorry.
Whichever I'm supposed to feel right now.
Good job not being a slave anymore.
It feels weird now.
I don't think I would have felt that way last year.
I think last year, I would have felt like wishing them a happy Fourth of July.
Hey, happy Independence Day.
Hey, happy Emancipation Day.
Should feel the same.
It doesn't anymore, though.
It's been hijacked.
It's been captured.
It's been turned against everything American.
It's amazing, you know, people were posting pictures from the 1900s, like the year 1900, of a bunch of black guys playing in a band, and they're like, look, black guys celebrating Juneteenth back in 1900.
See, we told you we didn't just make it up.
And then somebody comments, yeah, look at the flag they're playing under.
And it's the American flag, waving tall, waving proud.
It's amazing.
The people in that picture were probably born slaves.
They were probably born slaves.
They were probably freed by the Emancipation Proclamation when they were, you know, really young.
And now here they are, you know, celebrating America under the American flag.
And yet nowadays, it's too racist.
They can't do it.
It's amazing.
It's amazing, isn't it?
Just absolutely incredible.
I have a ton of videos.
I don't even want to show them, though.
Honestly, it's just like... It's just horrible.
Large riots breaking out at Juneteenth celebration in Long Branch, New Jersey.
I have like four of these videos because it was a full-fledged riot.
I mean, it was insane.
Flint, Michigan, officer-involved shooting.
Really brutal.
Right there at the Juneteenth in Yonkers.
It's like a 20-person gang beating up one person.
Peer Village, Long Branch, New Jersey.
Welcome Black Lives Matter to our neighborhood.
Several people shot at a Juneteenth parade in California.
Four people confirmed shot at this time.
Just unprecedented.
I don't know.
Every once in a while on July 4th, you hear about some guy getting his finger blown off because of a firework, but this is our new holiday.
This is our national holiday now.
From now on.
It's just so stupid.
It's so stupid it hurts, but there you go.
There you have it.
All right, still to come in today's program, we'll be talking a lot about crime.
Crime is through the roof.
Don't know if you've noticed this before.
I've got a stack of headlines, each more baffling than the last that I'd like to get to as well.
I will be talking about Tolkien again.
Yeah, that's right.
I'm going Lord of the Rings once again.
I covered it on Thursday, then Rex Jones was in the studio with me on, or I must have covered it on Wednesday because Rex Jones was in the studio with me on Thursday.
We've talked at length about this Tolkien Society thing.
In fact, maybe I'll do this right now.
I'll talk about Tolkien.
I'll take your calls in the next segment, so if you're called in and are on the line, stay on the line.
I'll go to your calls in just a minute, but I'm going to indulge myself a little bit and talk, yes, a little bit more about J.R.R.
Tolkien and the Lord of the Rings I don't even know what you'd call it.
Yeah, book series, but it's a movie series.
It's a cultural phenomenon, basically invented the fantasy genre as we know it.
And you might think that this is stupid to pay attention to.
After all, we have all this other political news and insane nonsense going on.
Tell you what, folks, that's not going anywhere.
We're going to take a brief moment to talk about Tolkien because it's emblematic of everything that's going on in this country.
I did a lot of research for this one.
I looked back in time.
I had to dig through the archives of the internet to illustrate a point I would like to make now.
In case you haven't heard, the Tolkien Society Summer Seminar 2021 is a series of talks and essays that the Tolkien Society does every year and they celebrate the work of J.R.R.
Tolkien.
Unfortunately, This year, it seems to have been taken over by Sauron himself.
This is a list of discussion topics for this year's Tolkien Seminar.
Gondor in Transition, a Brief Introduction to Transgender Realities in The Lord of the Rings.
The Problem of Pain, Portraying Physical Disability in the Fantasy of J.R.R.
Tolkien.
The Burnt Hand teaches most about fire, applying traumatic stress and ecological frameworks to narratives of displacement and resettlement across cultures in Tolkien's Middle-earth.
The Invisible Other, Tolkien's dwarf women and the feminine lack, projecting Indian myths, culture, and history onto Tolkien's world.
The Lossoth, Indigenity, identity, and anti-racism.
I'll tell you folks, if there's one thing that the leftists and Tolkien have in common, it's making up words.
Inventing entire languages for themselves.
The problematic parameters of Elrond Half-Elven.
Hearken to the other, Anthro, Beth, Finrod, and Andreth.
Now, that one, you'll notice here if you're seeing this doc cam shot, I've circled in red all of the topics that are SJW topics.
So, so far they've all been except for this one, which is hearkening to the other, which sounds like they're using the vocabulary of social justice warriors.
So maybe I should circle this one as well.
Maybe zero so far that we've seen, but we continue on.
Pardoning Saruman, the queer in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.
Desire of the Ring, an Indian academic's adventure in her quest for the perilous realm.
Queer atheists, agnostics, animists, oh my.
Hidden visions, iconographies of alterity in Soviet block illustrations of Lord of the Rings.
That is the second and final non- SJW topic in this seminar series.
Questions of caste in Lord of the Rings and its multiple Chinese translations.
Stars Less Strange, an analysis of fan fiction and representation within the Tolkien fan community.
Something mighty queer.
Destabilizing cis-hetero-amon-amato-normativity in the work of Tolkien.
And finally, translation as a means of representation and diversity in Tolkien's scholarship and fandoms.
So I know, it's exhausting and you may have heard this already before, but it's worth reiterating once again that it's not one or two topics that have been captured by the SJW critical theory nonsense, it's every single topic this year.
Talking about a cultural You know, a very, very culturally significant intellectual property that is pretty unabashedly pro-European, pro-English, pro-Catholicism, like Jarrah Tolkien himself said, you know, he basically wrote it to be an explicitly Catholic story.
So you would think it would be the last place in the world where this sort of poison would take root, and yet it has.
It's gotten in, and it's taken it over, not just You know, pierced through a chink in the armor, it's absorbed the entire thing.
It's really incredible and can't be said enough how shocking this is, especially when you look back at some of the topics before.
And that's what I did today.
I went back in time and tried to find as many programs from previous seminars that I could.
And you can see, you can go all the way back to their first, you know, big symposium.
I think all the way back in 19, definitely the 1980s, Let's see, I'll find exactly how far back it goes.
The first one was 1986, and they basically had one every year since then, with a few exceptions.
And what it was before is the stuff that you would expect them to talk about.
The First and Second Ages, Tolkien, The Monsters, The Middle Ages and Middle Earth, Tolkien, Art, Architecture and Culture, The Ways of Creative Mythologies, Imagined Worlds and Their Makers, just...
Just good stuff, right?
Tolkien influenced and influencing.
Who influenced him?
What influences he had?
Politics in Middle-earth.
Tolkien down under.
The art of science and magic.
Just normal stuff.
And it's not until you get all the way up to the year 2021 that it's suddenly titled Tolkien and Diversity.
So this has been a major, significant, and sudden change in the Tolkien And again, this is why we're talking about it, because it's not just that we care overly about the Tolkien Society, it's that this is happening in every institution, every cultural or national, you know, pastime that we enjoy is being infiltrated and destroyed from within.
And this is just like the most egregious example.
And it's especially, you know, emblematic of what's going on because it's like paralleling the literal story of Lord of the Rings.
It's like these are all little worm tongues.
Breathing into our ears, right?
Usurping the rightful throne of Tolkien fans for their own nefarious purposes.
It's the Orcs on the March.
So let's go back in time.
It was actually pretty hard to find the programs for these old seminars.
But I found I went back all the way to 2004.
And where this year we have things like, you know, queering the Sauron and transgender dwarves.
What is it like when they kill trolls?
Like, it's just nonsense bullcrap.
Every single one of them.
I already read it to you.
Here's what it was like in 2004.
Tolkien and the Gift.
The theories of names in Lord of the Rings.
The influence of Tolkien's on Lord of the Rings and women fantasy authors.
Some light on Tolkien and C.S.
Lewis, a mutual influence.
See, they actually cared about the material that was there.
They actually were interested in experiencing or exploring the world of Tolkien and what he created.
The only thing even slightly having to do with anything social justice at all is asking about his influence on women fantasy writers.
But then again, it's an independent scholar who studied Harry Potter, who was one of the first really successful women authors in the fantasy genre, so... You know, there's no attack in that, it's just... Women fantasy authors were coming up, and they were talking about Tolkien, so... It goes on and on.
You can go to 2005, and I won't read all of them, but I went through every single one of these, and I can't find a single example that could be considered social justice-y whatever, except...
In Section 6, you have the concept of masculinity in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.
I don't even know what they're saying about it.
It could be positive about masculinity, but that's the only one that even mentions a word that you would see come up in social justice circles.
Now, there's a lot more stuff like, how about this?
Male friendship in Lord of the Rings.
Medievalism, the First World War, and contemporary rewritings.
Oh, no, no, you can't have male friendships anymore.
They're gay now.
Yeah, that's what it's about.
It's not about male friendships, which Lord of the Rings does a fantastic job of illustrating.
No, it's about imagining that those friendships were actually homosexual relationships, and somehow that makes it better.
But this is the whole point, right?
It would destroy it.
It would destroy the friendships that are explored in Lord of the Rings if you were to inject sexualization into it.
It would change everything about it.
It would make it far less impactful, meaningful, resonant with the people that read it.
Friendship, honor, loyalty.
These things can be expressed to the highest degree imaginable in only, I would say, in the absence of sexuality.
I think as soon as you bring sexuality into it, you destroy the possibility of the depths of these human emotions.
So anyway, it continues through 2005, 2006, very normal.
It's all very normal.
2015, we jump a few years into the future, all very normal concepts that they're talking about.
Dragons, their earliest conception development in Tolkien's writings.
You know, you might not be interested in this sort of stuff, but this is what people who are interested in Tolkien should be interested in, exploring his work and his ideas and his concepts.
Gifts in Harmony, a philosophical exploration of Tolkien's invented words.
Transmission, an escape from death and Tolkien's work.
Tolkien and T.S.
Eliot, The Wasteland and a Fallen King, The Elven Perspective of Life, Death and Immortality, and its influence on humanity.
This is what it's supposed to be!
And all the way up through, this is 2016, normal content.
2017, pretty normal content.
Then you start seeing one or two things kind of peeking in, like, oh, what about if we talk about, you know, Yeah, just kind of break it down a little bit, like, women and Tolkien's non-Middle-Earth layers and legends.
Like, if we inject it a little bit, that's 2017.
By 2018, eh, getting a little bit more, but still largely just normal stuff.
And then it breaks in a little bit.
You have things like shades of Indian ideologies in the Fellowship.
Nothing wrong with that.
You know, connecting it to other cultures, not, you know, superimposing yourself upon it.
It's all very normal.
It's all very normal up all the way through 2020.
First-age materialists journeys into musical representation of Tolkien's landscape.
Adapting the Cimmerillion for music.
Middle-age Middle-earth in the iconography of the Hildebrandt brothers.
Very normal, right?
So what happened?
What happened when you have a seminar series that for 30 years continues in the same vein, and then in a single year goes completely SJW.
Goes completely, 100% critical theory.
And you know, you talk about critical theory, or critical race theory rather, that's just an aspect of critical theory.
Critical theory sort of divorces race from it, but it's still the same concept.
It's that everything in the modern world Specifically and exclusively the Western modern world is evil and needs to be destroyed.
You know, it's like people asking, you know, it's critical race theory, but it's only one race they're critical of, right?
Well, critical theory is the same thing.
That's what has infiltrated the Tolkien Society.
And I'll explain why it changed right now.
Two things happened.
One, the rights to Lord of the Rings was purchased by Amazon.
A.K.A.
the Eye of Sauron.
A.K.A.
evil itself.
The literal, like, mechanized industrial hell that is represented by the orcs in Lord of the Rings and the evil forces purchased Lord of the Rings and immediately began insinuating itself into the culture of Lord of the Rings in order to undermine and manipulate it.
Amazon bought the television rights for Lord of the Rings for $250 million in November 2017, making it a five-season production commitment worth at least US $1 billion.
This would make it the most expensive television series ever made.
And we know about Amazon.
Amazon actually just released the fact that they're now saying that nothing will be produced if it's not 50% non-white male.
To make it short.
So that's one thing that happened.
Amazon purchased the Lord of the Rings series.
The other thing that occurred is that Christopher Tolkien passed away.
Christopher Tolkien was the gatekeeper of Lord of the Rings.
His father's work.
He compiled and edited the Cimmerillion.
He dedicated his life to continuing his father's work and stewarding things like the Tolkien Society and a number of other You know, organizations and maintaining the copyright and all that sort of stuff.
He died in 2020.
And suddenly, it all collapsed.
It was all destroyed.
So, you can thank Christopher Tolkien for keeping his father's legacy alive, doing his father the honor of making sure that any attempts to change his father's work were headed off at the pass, and that the true meaning of his father's work and the true importance of it was maintained for decades and decades after Tolkien's death.
But as soon as he died, the worms moved in.
The orcs moved in.
The scumbag leftist destroyers moved in and are now tearing it from the inside.
And this is all leading up to the complete usurpation of Tolkien as Amazon.
Sauron himself now has the rights to Lord of the Rings.
Now, I want to play a segment from a video here.
of J.R.R.
Tolkien talking to C.S.
Lewis.
It's a reenactment of a conversation that really happened that C.S.
Lewis credits for starting him on his journey to conversion to Christianity.
So, you're about to see the younger guy is C.S.
Lewis, the older guy is J.R.R.
Tolkien, and this is a supposedly fairly loyal reenactment or an adaption of a conversation that they had about the power of myth.
And so let's take a look now at Jared Tolkien and C.S.
Lewis as they discuss the power of myth and the purpose of myth in the human existence.
unidentified
...fairy stories, which I think is rather ridiculous.
After all, the magic of myths or fairy stories is not an end in itself.
It exists to serve virtue and satisfy certain primordial human desires.
But myths are fiction.
The stories they tell aren't true.
They're lies, and therefore worthless, even though breathed through silver.
They're just beautiful lies.
You can't seriously believe fairy tales.
Why not?
I can.
In fact, I do.
But this is preposterous.
How can you seriously believe a lie?
Oh, Jack, myths are not lies.
In fact, they're the very opposite of a lie.
Myths convey the essential truth, the primal reality of life itself.
Go on.
Well, you see, we have been duped into using the word myth as being synonymous with a lie, because we have been duped into accepting the first real lie of materialism.
And what is that?
That is the hideous claim that there is no supernatural order to the universe.
The materialists have imprisoned us in a world of mere matter, of physical facts, divorced from and devoid of metaphysical truth.
Well, I say that they are lying.
I say that they are the ones who have come up with a false myth.
Their world doesn't exist.
It's merely a figment of their imagination.
Well, fine.
However, there's a problem.
The problem is, they have convinced us that it is true!
They have made us believe that this is all there is!
Three dimensions, five senses, four walls!
Isn't it?
Most emphatically not.
Jack, the four walls of materialism are the four walls of a prison.
And the materialists are our jailers.
Don't you see?
They've put us in a prison.
A prison of four walls.
They don't want us to see what's beyond those walls.
They don't want us to discover what lies outside their narrow philosophy.
Worse than that, they think that any attempt to escape from the prison is an act of treason.
Well, wouldn't it be an act of treason against rationality to believe otherwise?
Now Jack, think for a moment.
How can it be wrong for a prisoner to think of things that exist other than walls or jailers?
harrison smith
Alright folks, I'm going to play the rest of this video when we get back from the commercial break, but...
This is why it's important to talk about this sort of stuff.
The myths that we have as a society and a culture tell us about the reality of the world around us.
As Tolkien put it in that, myths convey the primal reality of life.
And that's exactly what the anti-human globalists want to destroy.
And that's why we call them anti-human.
They are against the natural reality, which can be uncomfortable at times, but they want to reduce it to a materialistic understanding because Absent your soul and absent good and evil and morality, then everything is manipulatable.
Everything is inconstant and up to the human beings rather than the designer of the universe.
So they want to control it.
They want to manipulate it.
So first they must destroy it.
unidentified
The Prisoner of the Land
The Prisoner is able to think of things outside the walls suggests that perhaps Things do exist outside the walls.
After all, if the prison really is all there is, how are we able to picture things that exist beyond the prison?
And this is where myths come in, you see.
Myths exist outside the prison.
Myths allow us to escape from the prison.
Or, if we are not able to escape, at the very least, they allow us to catch air.
A fleeting but oh-so-powerful glimpse of the beauty that lies beyond the worlds.
But what is it that we're meant to be glimpsing?
Well, don't you see?
The truth, Jack!
Myths show us a fleeting glimpse of truth itself.
Truth.
Truth.
What on earth is this truth that you're talking about?
Quid est veritas.
What is truth?
I'm glad to see that you've entered into the spirit of the myth, Jack.
You've just cast yourself into the role of pilot.
Pilot?
Oh, I see.
You're able to believe in the lesser myths because you've already accepted the big one.
Once you accept the big myth, the lie of Christ, it's easy to accept the smaller ones.
All right, told us I'll play the role of pilot.
I washed my hands of the whole nonsense.
Well, Jack, you may be able to wash your hands, but your mind is still muddied.
You're not thinking clearly at all, old chap.
You're acting as if myths are mere arbitrary inventions of fiction.
As if we pull them out of thin air.
But what you don't understand Is that we make things by the law in which we are made.
We create because we are created.
Creativity, imagination, is God's imageness in us.
We tell stories because God is a storyteller.
In fact, he is THE storyteller.
We tell our stories with words.
He tells his story with history.
The facts of history are his words, and providence is his storyline.
Are you suggesting that all of history, that everything around us is all part of some... divine myth?
We are all part of his story.
This very conversation is part of his story.
But perhaps it isn't his story.
Perhaps it's only your story.
How can you know that your story, the story that you believe, the Christian story, is any more real than the other stories?
But don't you see, it isn't my story.
It's his story.
You're acting as if Christianity is one myth among many.
It's not.
It's the true myth.
Christianity really happened.
Jesus really existed.
So did Pilate.
And yet it is this true story that makes sense of all the other stories.
It is the archetype.
It is the story in which all the other stories have their source.
And the story to which all the other stories point, it has everything.
It has catastrophe and its opposite, what we might call eucatastrophe.
It has the joy of the happy ending, the sudden joyous turn in the story that is essential to all myths.
It has, to a sublime degree, this joy of deliverance, this evangelium, this fleeting glimpse of the real joy.
to which all other joys are but a distant echo.
Tolis, what did you mean by catastrophe, a new catastrophe?
For example, it has the catastrophe of the fall, and the eucatastrophe of the redemption.
It has the catastrophe of the crucifixion, and the eucatastrophe of the resurrection.
It has everything man's heart desires, because it is being told by the one who is the fulfillment of desire itself.
It is a story that begins and ends in joy.
But just because a story brings joy, it doesn't necessarily follow that it's true.
There are many joyful myths, they all seem rather flimsy to me, and ring rather false.
And yet this story has the inner consistency of reality.
There is no tale ever told that men would rather find was true, and none which so many sceptical men have accepted as true, on its own merits.
Perhaps it's just a very well-written artifice.
This story has the supremely convincing tone of primary art.
Not fiction, but of creation.
And to reject this leads either to darkness or to wrath.
And in my own life, And it has led me from darkness to light.
Astonishing.
Told us you astonished me.
You absolutely astonished me.
harrison smith
So that, once again, was J.R.R.
Tolkien and C.S.
Lewis in a faithful rendition of a conversation that they actually had that C.S.
Lewis credits with turning him away from materialism and atheism and towards a more godly existence.
And, of course, he went on to become one of the most convincing and prolific Christian writers in the Western canon, I would say, C.S.
Lewis.
And so it's especially poignant when J.R.R.
Tolkien says this conversation that we're having right now is a part of his story, of history.
And that's why it's worth it to talk about this.
Again, I'm not just...
Up here mad that, you know, a particular intellectual property that I'm a fan of is being taken over by SJWs.
I could tear my hair out all day about the various forms of entertainment I've seen destroyed.
But it's about the primal truth that's being expressed in that discussion.
That what we're doing here every day at InfoWars, what I do every morning on American Journal, what Owen does every afternoon, on the war room, is documenting the real-life myth that is occurring all around us.
The real-life drama of a great and apocalyptic battle between the forces of good and evil.
We are in it right now.
It is happening all around us.
And the materialists, as they were called in the time of J.R.R.
Tolkien or C.S.
Lewis, the atheists, the SJWs, the progressives in today's world, I cannot have you believing that you are part of some massive redemptive arc of humanity.
That you have a part to play.
That you can actually be a protagonist in this story.
You can actually change history.
You can be Harry Potter.
You can be Frodo.
You can actually save the world in this massive struggle between the mechanized, inhuman, Bug-like orcs, you can fight back against them.
You can be the humans!
You can be the heroes!
They want you stripped of all of this concept.
They want you thinking that humanity is nothing more than a bug itself, a cancer on Earth that does damage by its very existence.
They want you thinking that you are nothing and no one, that there's no point in carrying on your Genetic line.
There's no point in trying to build and create and foster goodness all around you.
They want you living in a pod, eating bugs, and dying.
That's all you're good for.
That's the materialistic understanding of the world.
And it's a depressing and incorrect one.
The reality is, That every day, we are experiencing, living through, witnessing with our very own eyes, a myth, the scale of which makes Lord of the Rings look pathetic in comparison.
This is reality!
This is the real world!
This is 7 billion people, either fighting for or against goodness.
I probably watch that video about once a month because it really expresses things in a way that is unparalleled.
And you have to remind yourself, like, this is why we do this.
This is why we have committed ourselves to this entire endeavor, is because we know that the world is not just some meaningless, purposeless, materialistic, you know, endless repetition of nonsense.
It has meaning, it has purpose, and it has a final conclusion that we all help design.
So that's what we do here at InfoWars.
We are the bards of today's world, right?
In the time of Lord of the Rings, they would be giving you updates as to where they think the ring is and how the war is progressing, and that's all we're doing here.
The forces of light and dark might not be as easy to recognize as they are in a mythological film or a book series, but the evil is no less pernicious and the good is no less worth fighting for.
Let's go out to the phone calls, shall we?
We've got some people who have been holding for a while.
Let's go to Johnny in Denmark.
He's called in saying that COVID-19 has never existed.
Thanks for calling in, Johnny.
You're on the air.
Johnny from Denmark?
Oh no, he must have stepped away.
Sorry, Johnny.
Let's go to Max in Kansas.
He wants to talk about critical race theory in military and the schools.
Thanks for calling in, Max.
You're on the air.
unidentified
Hey, what's going on, Harrison?
How was your weekend, man?
harrison smith
Pretty good.
Pretty good.
How about you?
unidentified
I'm pretty good.
So lately, I don't know, I think you heard, it was that military general that came out and said that he was supplying naval officers with How To Be Anti-Racist, a book by Abram Kendi.
harrison smith
Right.
unidentified
Um, and I mean, it's, there's no other, there are a lot of ways that they could destroy the military from the inside, but this is probably the worst way to do that.
I mean, just filling these officers' heads with lies and providing them with pure propaganda, it's disgusting.
And, but even worse, when things like these come out, when things like this come out, they don't inspire people to want to become, in the military.
They push them away.
These kinds of stories push a lot of good people away from in the military.
And same thing goes for police.
You know, after seeing what happened through the summer, it pushed a lot of good, I'm assuming it pushed a lot of good people who wanted to become cops away from doing that.
I mean, who would want to, I mean, that's probably one of the hardest jobs you can do right now, being a police officer at a time like this, when you're hated by a lot, a lot of people and who have been threatening you.
And it'd be scary.
harrison smith
Yeah.
No, it's a great point.
It's a point that I try to talk about all the time, Max, because what's going to, what's the inevitable consequence of this?
You're right.
There are, of course, good candidates just choosing not to go into police work because of the atmosphere.
You The crew's already pulled it up before I even mention it.
Portland Police Union rails against defund the police commission after Riot Squad resigns.
Entire squadrons are resigning from police forces, probably going in to private work, because remember, defund the police means privatizing the police.
People who can pay for it will still be protected by armed guards.
It's just the regular people who will do without the police response.
What you have is, yeah, if you're, like, a decent person who has, like, lots of skills and good interpersonal skills and, you know, you're a police officer, why would you stay there?
You would leave.
And who's gonna replace you?
Somebody less qualified.
Somebody less capable.
Somebody, probably, who's going to be more likely to, you know, lose their mind and cause violence when they shouldn't or, you know, cause some sort of catastrophe.
So, Yeah, the police are gonna get probably more violent.
There's probably gonna be more disasters in the future because people who are good cops are gonna go, you know, be well paid to provide private security, and the people who are left in the police force will be of a significantly lower quality.
I'm thinking like Clockwork Orange, right?
All the old thugs are, go get a badge and do what you were doing before, but do it legally now.
And it's a downward spiral.
Of course, the military is even more insidious.
Because to me it seems like nothing more than purging the military of people who would not follow orders if they were to be told orders that are unconstitutional or against the American people.
You don't want people who will say, well hold on, I don't think we should go.
attack the American people.
I don't think we should, you know, unload on these peaceful protesters.
They're trying to get patriots out of, especially positions of power within the military, but definitely any position in the military, they're trying to weed out people who will object to unconstitutional demands.
That is my personal reading of this, and it's incredibly, incredibly dangerous.
Anything else before I let you go, Max?
unidentified
No, that's about it.
And you know, it's unfortunate, but it's kind of working, because I've thought about military.
I've actually been thinking about Navy, specifically Navy or Air Force, and if I were to go on that, I wouldn't, I couldn't handle that.
harrison smith
Right.
unidentified
I mean, not, not only would I be so angry, but it would just, and you know, not everyone's awake like we are, and people will buy into it.
You know, they will just think whatever they're reading in that book must be a fact.
And those are the people who I worry about, but it's all by design.
You know, they're getting out the good people in the military.
Yeah, I was about it, man.
Hey, I really appreciate you taking my call, and I'll see you around, man.
harrison smith
Alright, thank you so much, Max.
Good call, as always.
Max from Kansas.
Very good stuff.
Let's go to, let's see, who's been on the longest?
Looks like James in Pennsylvania.
Reverse racism and welfare queens!
Whatever could you mean, James?
You're on the air.
Thanks for calling in.
james in pennsylvania
Thank you very much, Harrison.
harrison smith
Good evening.
james in pennsylvania
Um, where my personal line in the sand is creature-ism versus atheism.
And then furthermore, when you deal with an atheist male, generally they are, uh, tend to find reasons to not work, collect food stamps, collect, now Biden's giving out $500 a month for every child under nine years of age.
So you have welfare queens on both sides of the aisle, but More so, it's the people that tend to not believe in God, because when you believe in God, you have a strong work ethic.
At least you want to wake up every day, go to work, provide a home for you and your family, put food on the table.
It's these people that don't believe in God that want to seek handouts.
And handouts are the destruction of a democratic republic.
Yeah, absolutely.
No, you're exactly right.
standalone capitalist society.
When you have people taking handouts, that is the destruction of society from within.
Because then obviously your daddy is the state and your daddy dictates what you want rather than you go out and earn and provide and do those things necessary to provide a strong base for a family to prosper.
harrison smith
Yeah, absolutely.
No, you're, you're exactly right.
Um, you know, I'd say, I really don't even like, I really don't like talking about religion on here.
Cause you know, this message is not for Christians alone, right?
You don't have to be Christian to believe our message.
You do, I think, have to agree that the soul is real.
You have to agree that human beings aren't just, you know, particularly intelligent animals, you know, doing the same thing that You know, animals do.
I do think there's a pretty obvious and apparent and important spiritual, you know, regard to this.
And, you know, how that works for me is through a Christian lens, and it's true.
You think of the Christian concept of thankfulness and of God, that if you're born, your very life Existing in the world is a gift from God.
Now, what people are told in today's society is, you know, you actually deserve more.
You were born with less than you deserve, so we have to take stuff from other people and give it to you to balance out the justice.
But it's like, the gift of life is supreme.
It's everything, right?
And so, when you're given that and you I don't know, love God and actually want to thank Him for that.
You feel guilty if you're not living up to your full expectations, right?
If God has given you this chance on earth, which is such a blessing.
It's so rare and mysterious, you feel like, man, I need to do something positive with this.
I need to give back.
I need to show thankfulness for, you know, what I've been given.
Instead, people are being born and being told, you should feel bitter and hateful about the conditions of your birth.
If you weren't born rich, then, you know, you should hate the rich people and want to tear them down.
It's very pernicious.
So, you know, you don't have to be a Christian, but to me, if you don't, you know, wake up sort of giving thanks to the Bizarre, unknowable, spiritual empire in which we've been born, then, you know, I guess you're a materialist and you can do whatever.
But no, I think you're right, James, that there's something about sort of respecting life itself, that you're not just going to sit around and complain and demand that other people do work for you.
You're going to go out and try to earn your very existence by helping to make the world a better place.
Anything else before I let you go, James?
james in pennsylvania
No, it's just like, you can see the divide between the left and the right.
I mean, they want, you know, to kill babies.
They want to do all these things that are un-Christlike.
Honestly, Christ is an idea.
It's a way to live a life.
As long as you believe in a higher being other than yourself, that you know you're going to wake up every day and everything's going to be good, and if it's hard times, there's somewhere to put your faith, that's all I need.
I don't want people around me that Right.
will not do for themselves as they would do unto other people. - Right. - So if you just sit back and wanna soak it in and say, hey, I'm just gonna turn on the TV or I'm just gonna put on this movie, I'm not gonna go to work, I don't care about paying my bills, I don't care about providing for my children, the state will do it for me.
Well, to me, I see that as a leftist view, that's a Democrat view.
You want handouts, you wanna, tell me what to eat.
Tell me what to drink.
Tell me what to put in my body.
Tell me what to do with my children, please, because I can't do it for myself.
You have to do it for yourself, and you will realize where you need to be on this earth, regardless of what religion you believe in.
harrison smith
Yeah, yeah, very good point.
You know, I was just thinking, as I was walking into the building today, you know, the phrase, what would Jesus do?
You know, sometimes you hear these phrases enough that they sort of lose meaning, but I remember very distinctly being a little kid and wearing a What Would Jesus Do?
bracelet and, like, making better decisions because of that, right?
I was, like, in a fight with my little friend in second grade, and I remember looking down and being like, man, Jesus wouldn't be mad at his friend.
I'm gonna go say I'm sorry, you know?
And it's, like, a curious thing, but what I was thinking today was, you know, you could have a billboard or something that was like, what would your dad do?
Let alone from Jesus.
People need to ask themselves, like, what would your dad do in this situation?
Because it's one of those things where, like, you know, people can have all sorts of crazy words to describe these ideas that they have, and they have very good vocabulary, but if you're like, yeah, what would your dad say about that?
He'd be like, oh, my dad would say this is all BS nonsense, and this is all leftist bullcrap.
Like, you know, like, oh, you know what's right.
You know what, you know, the reality is.
You're just able to trick yourself.
Maybe you should think, you know, What would your old man say about what you're doing and about your life right now?
There'd be a lot of problems fixed, I think, if people asked themselves that question.
Good evening, Harry.
Happy Father's Day.
with what their forefathers would have thought, their fathers or their grandfathers or anybody else.
Let's go to another phone call.
Western Mass Guy in Massachusetts.
Auto Insta.
Oh, yes.
Okay.
I think you texted me about this or Twittered me about this.
Is that, are you the same person?
Western Mass Guy?
unidentified
Good evening, Gary.
Happy Father's Day.
That is I.
harrison smith
Thank you very much.
Tell you what, I've got a bad connection with you.
Maybe we can try to work that out in the back room.
We'll bring you on to where I can understand you better.
But yeah, this guy, this caller, actually tweeted me, DMed me on Twitter about this, and I meant to bring it up.
The Massachusetts Health Authority, I guess, is installing apps on people's phones through the update.
Like your Apple update, I guess, or your Or your, you know, whatever your phone company is.
Here it is, Western Mask Guy.
I was just finding it.
So yeah, there it is.
It's called the Massachusetts Department of Health app.
And he says, it cannot be uninstalled.
Says, Harrison just discovered Massachusetts Department of Health tracking app installed on our phones without permission.
Some are factory installed, some came with an update.
So this is the Massachusetts Department of Health forcing their tracking app onto your phone, not telling you about it and not making I hope so, can you hear me?
unidentified
Well, I was on my way to go hiking in New Hampshire, and I'm in a group thread typically with some like-minded folks, and I started getting these texts about, hey, check your phone, look at this app that I found in my settings under applications that I never put on there, and you know, okay, whatever.
This is just another one of those texts.
So I go and do it, and I couldn't believe it.
It's there.
I text my, you know, I talk to my friend in the backseat and say, hey, go into your phone, go into settings, look under applications for Massachusetts Department of Health.
Lo and behold, same thing.
He finds it.
And we're all on Android.
I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but everyone out there, if you've got an Android phone, you should check to see the apps that are on there because there's some stuff that you're not putting on and who knows what it's doing.
harrison smith
And so you think it was just a, you know, like a phone update that they installed that in?
unidentified
I think it had to have been.
Yeah.
Because this is a phone that I've had for a couple years.
So it had to have been in a recent update.
Someone else in the vehicle who had a newer phone had it, and that's the one where they couldn't uninstall it.
So that must have been in whatever update they get just by starting the phone up.
I find it, you know, the level of overreach is disgusting.
harrison smith
Yeah, that is really insane.
The fact that they don't even tell people about this and then you can't undo it.
So here's another one.
Mass notify.
Get alerted if you're exposed to someone who reported having COVID-19.
So yeah, this is a contact tracing app that has been installed on people's phones in Massachusetts.
Yes, I was able to force stop it but not actually uninstall it.
notify android covid app so yeah this just occurred that article is from june 19th so just yesterday uh they are announcing this or making this uh known through the public have you tried to delete the one on your phone yes i was able to force stop it but not actually uninstall it so so it was so it was it wasn't just on your phone it was running in the background yes my particular phone it said zero data was used in it and i kind of doubt it but uh my passenger
unidentified
in the back he had some data being used on it when you can look at the status of things on the settings So his was working, sending information.
harrison smith
Sending information.
Okay, and so you, you were not able to delete it, you were just able to prevent it from operating in the background, supposedly, of course, it could still be operating in the background.
And who knows, you know, a lot of these phones, they have like the time delay thing where you shut off an app, but 24 hours later, it'll kick back on or next time your phone restarts, it'll kick back on.
So you're gonna have to like constantly be going in and disabling this force install app.
unidentified
Unfortunately, but is it really any surprise?
You know, we're walking around these days with computers in our pockets and the apps are selling our data, yet we typically feel that's okay, but something like this pops up and it really makes you question what's going on and what you're participating in every day.
harrison smith
Yeah, well, this goes right along with the World Economic Forum concept.
You will own nothing, and that includes your phone and the information on your phone.
That doesn't belong to you anymore.
That belongs to whoever you're renting it from, or maybe it just belongs to the government.
In fact, we had this story on Friday.
Woke up sweating.
Some Texans shocked to find their smart thermostats were raised remotely.
So these people in the Houston area that went to bed with their air conditioners on and woke up with their air conditioners set to a much higher temperature than they were when they went to bed and what's happening is I guess when they signed up for electricity there was like a checkbox that they must have missed or maybe they checked it that was like hey enter a sweepstakes by connecting your smart thermostat to this This grid or whatever.
So people did it thinking, hey, I'd like to be entered into sweepstakes.
And now they find that they don't have control over their own house's temperature.
It's being controlled by somebody else somewhere else.
So this is all in the same line.
Now Amazon has auto enabled its sidewalk feature.
So anybody walking by your house can have smart devices connect to your Wi-Fi or smart devices connect to one another.
We know that Ring and Amazon are working hand in hand with local police forces and they have a whole you know, suite of technology that they give to local police so they can access ring video cameras and other sorts of surveillance type stuff.
Of course, they can subpoena Echo or Alexa or any of those recording devices that are recording you constantly.
And they are especially listening for any sort of, you know, noise of conflict or whatever.
And then they can subpoena that.
So, yeah, folks, your devices are not yours anymore.
They belong to the system and you belong to them Okay Bill Gates, George Soros, and Hillary Clinton behind controversial coronavirus contact tracing.
So, Massachusetts now auto-installing a tracing app onto your phone that you cannot delete and you can only disable.
Thank you so much Western Massachusetts guy for bringing this to our attention.
unbelievable violation by our government.
unidentified
All right, welcome back.
harrison smith
Ladies and gentlemen, Sunday Night Live.
My name is Harrison Smith.
I am the host of American Journal every weekday morning between 8 and 11 a.m.
Central Standard Time on Amazon.com.
No.
Most emphatically not, sir.
I'm on InfoWars.com and Band.video.
Hope that you join us in the mornings.
I try to keep it a little bit light.
One of the things that I do is the Daily Dispatch, and I have so many stories here today.
I started doing the Daily Dispatch because if you don't just go through the headlines, I tend to get stuck in the mud with some of these stories, because I'm telling you, every one of these stories could be a three-hour long program.
But I'll read you some of the ones from this weekend in just a moment.
Before I do, I did have a fun experience.
Yesterday, driving out of Austin, I ran into a fan.
I was checking out at Buc-ee's, which is a massive sort of stop-and-go.
A massive, what would you call it?
station yeah a gas station but it's like not a gas station like much bigger than a gas station uh anyway very popular in texas and i was going through there and i met a uh the person who was checked me out at the register so are you on tv and i said yeah i have an info war show and she said oh that's where i recognize you and she said you know i already saw owen owen came through here you know a couple months ago with the stop the steel caravan she was very excited very nice uh woman and you know it's it's cliche i get it but it's really only true for us we We have the best audience.
We have the absolute...
We have a top-notch audience in the entire world.
I've told stories many times of meeting info warriors out there, especially a woman I met in New York who'd grown up behind the Iron Curtain, knew the threats of communism, and was just weeping, talking about how thankful she was that somebody out there recognized what was going on and was fighting against it.
Just the nicest people, the most sincere people, the most hardworking and good-hearted people are info warriors.
Kind of like what that last caller was saying, or the caller before last.
Our message doesn't resonate with lazy people.
Our message doesn't resonate with insincere people.
It doesn't resonate with hateful or spiteful or You know, underhanded people.
They don't like what we talk about.
They don't resonate.
They don't vibe with us and our message.
You gotta be a certain type of person to get into InfoWars.
And as far as I can tell, with my experience of the last several years working here and interacting with the InfoWarriors on the street, that type of person is the all-American, just God-fearing good person.
They're just good people.
And it's really amazing and humbling.
And it sort of puts an emphasis on me to go, how do I live up to this audience?
Because I didn't build this audience.
Alex Jones built this audience.
Let's be clear.
I did nothing to deserve this audience at all.
So now that I'm here, you know, there's a certain level of responsibility that I have that's like, you know, the people out there They don't want to hear hate.
They don't want to hear spite.
They don't want to hear division and hopelessness.
They want to hear about the strength of the human spirit.
They want to hear about people coming together, loving America, loving liberty, working hard, doing what's right, and succeeding wildly.
So, hello to that woman.
I can't remember.
I think it was something like Vonnie or something.
It was a real pretty name.
Started with a V, short name.
Anyway, she was very nice at Bucky's.
Hello out there.
Very, very nice to meet you.
It's always fun meeting fans.
And folks, if you do want to support what we do here at InfoWars, you got to go to InfoWarsStore.com.
You got to purchase some of the products.
Not only will they improve your life, especially when combined with exercise, sleeping well, it can really make an insane difference.
Massive, massive benefits to taking these supplements.
But not just that.
You are supporting what we do here at InfoWars, which is, I think it's pretty important.
I think it's pretty important what we do, giving a voice to those people who don't feel represented by the hateful, spiteful, divisive, and narcissistic people of the mainstream media.
So if you like having an alternative voice able to get out to the people, go to Infowarsstore.com right now and please do support us.
We'll go out to your phone calls momentarily.
Stay on the line.
Let me just read you some of these insane headlines from this weekend.
And again, I get complaints.
It's like, you don't spend enough time on the daily dispatch each morning, you know, on these topics.
Well, I don't have 4,000 hours a day to talk because that's what it would take to actually dig into all these.
Let me just read you some headlines and then you can do some research or tune in tomorrow morning and hear me go off on some of these.
CDC Senior Scientist and Whistleblower Says We Trashed Data Showing Vaccine-Autism Link in African American Boys.
This is a senior scientist, Dr. William Thompson, revealed in a shocking statement that top U.S.
doctors hid and destroyed data that showed a link between vaccines and autism in African American boys.
Okay, I can do a couple hours on that.
Texas AG Ken Paxton, illegal immigration is as bad as it's ever been.
Cartels are the primary beneficiaries.
Do you want to have, you know, decapitated bodies hanging from your Highway overpasses?
Well then, keep benefiting the cartels, folks, because that's what we're looking for.
California will spend $500 million to thin its 33 million acres of forest to help prevent wildfires.
In other words, Donald Trump was right.
In other words, every time that California catches on fire and they blame climate change, they're lying to you.
Just incredible.
So, $500 million to thin 33 million acres of forest to lessen the chance of wildfires after a former president was laughed at in 2018 for suggesting raking the woodland floor.
Of course, one of the things that's buried in all of these talks about the fires in California is the fact that hundreds of people were arrested in 2018, 19, and 20 for starting those fires.
The vast majority of wildfires in California are deliberate arson.
But they don't tell you that.
Google and USAID funded the Wuhan collaborator Peter Daszak's virus experiments for over a decade.
That's kind of a big story.
Kind of a big news.
Topic that we should be discussing, but who's got the time?
Chinese defector identity confirmed was a top counterintelligence official.
So now it's basically been confirmed that this supposed Chinese defector is the real deal and has been working for months with the Defense Intelligence Agency talking about what he knows in terms of what China is up to.
How's this for a headline, folks?
Jake Sullivan says administration will take no immediate action on China until there is international consensus.
Do you understand what I just said?
Do you comprehend?
What just happened here?
They're outsourcing our foreign policy.
This is the stuff that's like, they don't want us to be a nation anymore.
If we aren't making our own decisions with international relations, we're actually letting a bunch of non-Americans make that decision for us, coming to a consensus, and then we'll just go along with what some international cabal has to say.
We are not a country anymore.
So globalism now being installed as today, Jake Sullivan, the National Security Advisor, says they're not going to do anything about China until the international community gives us the okay.
unidentified
All right.
harrison smith
So we're not a country anymore.
Good to know.
Nearly 4,000 fully vaccinated people in Massachusetts have tested positive for coronavirus.
Might be a story that people want to know about.
Want to buy property but don't have a down payment?
Fractional ownership may be the ticket.
Hey, maybe that's the ticket.
You'll just own part of your house.
Isn't that fun?
You'll own nothing and you'll be happy or else.
BlackRock says it's time to take action on guns may use voting power to influence.
This is from way back in 2018, but showing the, you know, Great Reset was already in motion with BlackRock using its unbelievable power to force its will on the American people.
Georgia Secretary of State finally admits the 2020 election foul play in Atlanta.
GOP Republican Fitzpatrick is dismayed the right is disrespecting the FBI with false flag claims on January 6th.
Oh dear, oh no, we can't talk bad about the federal secret police.
How dare you suggest that they might be behind some of the false flag operations that we've seen throughout the world?
How dare you besmirch their impeccable honor by suggesting the FBI ever do anything untward?
Yeah, okay.
How about you join the Democrats, admit you're deep state, and stop calling yourself a GOP, you bootlicking traitor.
White House freezes Ukraine military package that includes lethal weapons.
So yeah, you know, we saw all last week Joe Biden propped up by the mainstream media who continually told how tough he was on Vladimir Putin.
He walked in, he said, F around and find out.
And then he walked out like a cowboy, like a sheriff from an old Western.
Putin was shaking in his boots!
And then they immediately canceled $100 million worth of weapons to Ukraine on Russia's behalf.
But I don't really care about that.
Right?
I don't think we should necessarily be funding the neo-Nazi revolution in the Ukraine.
I wouldn't put that on the top of my to-do list, but the real point here is that this is what they impeached Donald Trump for.
I don't know if you remember this, but if you think back to around this time, oh, two years ago, this was considered a traitorous and treasonous activity that saw Donald Trump impeached.
Stopping the weapons to Ukraine.
Now, I know, you're shocked.
I'm telling you the Democrats in the deep state are hypocrites and you've never heard that before.
But this message isn't for you.
This message is for the people out there that believe this crap and used to believe this crap.
You were manipulated.
You turned on your TV two years ago to hear pundits breathlessly pontificate about how incredibly dangerous it was that the Ukraine was being denied these weapons.
They were going to be crushed by Putin and Trump was doing Putin's bidding by preventing these heroic Ukrainians from getting their weapons.
They were emotionally manipulating you.
When exactly the same thing happens now, you don't even know about it.
You don't even hear about it.
And again, we can't go back in time and reverse the impeachment and point out, you know, pointing it out doesn't really matter.
But keep this in mind next time, won't you?
Next time you're being, you know, buffaloed into some sort of.
Historical outrage over something that the mainstream media is telling you to be mad about.
Just remember, they don't really care and they're manipulating you.
Please, won't you just consider that for a moment?
And finally, maybe the best story over this weekend.
Ratings freefall.
CNN's Brian Stelter loses 72% of viewers in 2021.
Folks, a mere 752,000 total viewers tuned in to watch Stelter critique the media, usually heavily focused on the more successful Fox News on Sunday.
That's down from a peak of 2.7 million viewers following the January 6th Capitol riot.
I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure American Journal gets more viewers than that.
No joke, we are probably in competition in terms of rating with Brian Stelter.
Isn't that crazy?
Let's go to a video of Brian Stelter.
He went on C-SPAN, and on C-SPAN they take calls, much like we do at InfoWars, and we'll go to your calls right after this video.
Let's see how the callers of C-SPAN treated Brian Stelter, mainstream media hero.
unidentified
...to on national television admit he and his network are a bunch of liars about Donald Trump.
harrison smith
This is Kevin in Princeton, Indiana.
unidentified
Good morning.
Yeah, uh, Mr. Stelter is the biggest minister of misinformation I have ever heard, and I'm a news junkie.
He made the statement just a few minutes ago that he is, uh, all the stories are always evolving.
Yeah, his stories absolutely evolve.
Brian Stelter.
Thank you for the feedback.
I appreciate it.
Savannah, Georgia.
Rick, good morning.
You're next.
Yes, I was just wondering if you still feel like Michael Avenatti is the greatest thing in the world and should run for president of the United States.
That's funny.
My suggestion is whatever CNN says, do the opposite and you'll be fine.
Aurora, Indiana, this is Robert.
Good morning.
harrison smith
You're on with Brian Stelter.
unidentified
You know, CNN is just something that's, it's a joke.
It's a joke.
This guy tells more lies and Fox gives more news than CNN does in two years.
What lie?
What lie did I tell you?
Two years.
It's another...
Yeah.
harrison smith
Yeah, that's how the American people feel about Brian Stelter.
You know, it must...
Hopefully he gets through it.
Hopefully he's not so narcissistic and he thinks I just hate him because of misinformation or whatever.
You know, a lot of times at InfoWars, you hear people say things about InfoWars that's just not true, and so it doesn't impact me, right?
When I hear, you know, if I read a comment on a Bandot video, you know, and somebody's critiquing me, and they have suggestions, and they're obviously a fan, you know, I take it personally, I'll think about it, I'll maybe change the way I do things a little bit if I'm getting complaints about something, you know.
I want the feedback and I like hearing it and it affects me because I know that you're actually watching and responding to what I'm actually saying.
But then you have people on the left who are just calling us like racist Nazis and you sort of roll your eyes at that, right?
It's just like, okay, so you're judging me off of a caricature of my company that has been projected by our enemies.
It doesn't reflect on me.
I don't care what you have to say about me.
But places like CNN or the Young Turks, I don't know if y'all saw the Young Turks, the leader, lead singer of Pink Floyd was asked about the Young Turks and just eviscerated them and just called them the nastiest things and just completely destroyed their journalism, so-called, utterly.
But he didn't know who they were.
He was just like, whoever that lady is is an idiot, right?
it was not based off of a falsified uh uh reputation that he was judging them on like info wars is so often judged on it was their actual statements that's what's happening with brian stelter it's not like brian stelter is this upstanding truth teller and journalistic master but uh you know the fox news and info wars has poisoned people's minds now this is the conclusion people come to on their own because they see you lie day in and day out
so it's kind of comforting for me to know that probably 90 of our detractors 90 of the the vitriol that i face on twitter is literally just people repeating talking points from msn calling us names that literally don't reflect our ideology or purpose or you know actual beliefs whatsoever so So it doesn't actually affect us.
Truly incredible.
I think we can all take a moment today Thank the good Lord above that we are not Brian Stelter.
Let's go to the phone calls, shall we?
Blake in FEMA Region 9 has a comment about Steve Pachinik and QAnon.
Thank you for calling in, Blake.
You are on the air.
unidentified
Hey, Harrison.
Happy First Father's Day, new dad.
harrison smith
Thank you very much, sir.
unidentified
Yeah, about Pachinik.
On the Alex Jones Show today, a woman called in and expressed my sentiments about Pachinic, and Owen's response was a good response.
He said, well, we don't have to just interview people that we agree with.
We can interview all sorts of different people from different points of view.
And so that's great.
It's just that somehow there's got to be a way when you interview people who are very controversial and whose views, not all views, you may You know, uh, agree with.
There's gotta be a way to distance InfoWars and yourselves from that a little bit.
Like, say, nobody expects George Norrie on Coast to Coast or Art Bell, you know, to agree with all the different UFO people and all the different crazy views that they bring to the show.
And even CNN, Fox News, they don't interview people that they necessarily agree with.
Even CNN sometimes has a conservative on.
harrison smith
Everyone small, yeah, they make a change.
unidentified
Or a fake rhino who they don't agree with on certain issues.
But on this show, we've come to expect – it's obvious Alex doesn't like controversial interviews or confrontational interviews.
He doesn't like to get confrontational with his guests.
It happens rarely.
But, you know, it happened one time with Steve Pchenik a few months ago, right, in January.
And that was very enlightening.
That was a very enlightening interview because Pchenik said a lot of things that, like, I've always been very skeptical about him, very dubious, but he does say things also that do come true, which one would expect somebody from the intelligence community.
And he says things that we agree with a lot of times.
But then he raps his lies, and I do think a lot of it is lies, in Curls of Truth, which is the best propaganda disinformation, of course.
And so, in that interview in January, where he said that, oh yeah, Trump's not going to be out of office on January 20th, and all that.
harrison smith
Yeah, yeah.
And he made the bet with Alex saying, basically, I'll never come on again if I'm wrong.
To me, it's like, if you get something like that wrong, you should come out and explain why.
You know, why did you think this was the case?
What has changed in the meantime?
I'm not sure I've heard that from him, but you know, at the same time, I've interviewed Steve Pucinich before, and he said stuff during interviews with me that I'm like, wow, you are not allowed to say that if you're a controlled person.
Like, he's expressing things that, like, you don't get from The mainstream talking heads, like, he's got the bona fides.
He does know a lot of insider sources, but as to the bet and him coming back on, you're going to have to ask Alex about that.
I really don't have an answer, but obviously I think the InfoWars audience feels a bit cheated by Steve Pchenik, and perhaps that's an opportunity for him to grasp it and say, look, I was wrong and here's why, rather than doubling down on it.
It is very interesting, and I've talked to him, and I've enjoyed my conversations with him, and that's all I can really go by.
Let's go now to Luke in Illinois.
Thanks for the call, Blake.
I do appreciate it, and I think you're expressing something that probably a lot of InfoWarriors feel.
Let's go to Luke in Illinois.
Difference between being a father and just a dad.
Thanks for calling in, Luke.
You're on the air.
unidentified
Thank you, Mr. Smith.
Happy Father's Day to you.
harrison smith
Thank you, sir.
unidentified
The difference, as far as I can see it, between being a dad and being a father, obviously, is going back to what you started out with at the beginning of your program, between being a sperm donor and being the person that's actually there, and playing with, dealing with being a part of your children's lives.
Right.
It's a huge, huge difference.
You may or may not agree with this, but I made sure to tell my wife today, thank you.
Right.
Thank you for making me a father.
I couldn't have done it without you.
Right.
You know, to me, that's huge.
It's not just one individual.
It's not just me.
It takes two.
Yeah.
It's a family.
So I just want to put that out there for all the people that think you can be whatever Right.
harrison smith
gender you want to be or whatever color you want to be just by saying i identify as something no you can't right right and you know it's it's it almost feels silly to have to explain why fathers are good but like i guess this is where we are now that like we actually have to sit here and make the arguments about like why it's beneficial to have a father in the home
because right now our our entire culture is dominated by people that think that i mean they've essentially equated the term the patriarchy which essentially just means the the fatherhood right the rule of fathers um is evil is like the epitome of evil the source the font of all evil in the world is the patriarchy which are Father's it's like everybody they just have a big Just daddy issues.
We're just like run by people with daddy issues but okay fine, let's Let's go ahead and make the argument It's not good to just have one or the other like this should be obvious there is a role for both parents to play and the sort of classic dynamic between the mother and the father is that for a specific reason right mothers are supposed to be More empathetic.
They're supposed to be more patient.
They're supposed to be the shoulder for the kid to cry on, and the dad is supposed to be sort of the hammer of justice at times.
You can't have one, you can't just have the other.
I always tell the story about... It wasn't a kid, it was actually a girl that was on drugs, but the same idea applies, right?
you can't just demand that a baby follow logic and reason.
It doesn't work.
Trust me.
I've tried.
I've tried to explain to my four month year old son, a four month old son, uh, why his behavior is, you know, not conducive to a happy household.
He doesn't care.
He's going to keep crying and wailing and complaining.
But that's always my approach is I want to be logical.
I want to reason things out.
And I think that's sort of the more stereotypical dad approach.
And I always tell the story about one time we were at a concert and I was with my friend who's a girl and she and this other girl came up and was on drugs and was freaking out.
And I wanted to very calmly explain to her, look, you're not in any danger.
Nothing's going to happen.
You're safe.
Here's the logic.
It wouldn't have worked.
And I'm glad that my friend stepped in and said, hey, you know, now you're with friends and the universe has helped you.
And it's like, oh, you got to get on their level.
And I've seen that with my wife.
I'm telling you, I want to be like, hey, there's no reason why you should be sad right now, kid.
Stop being sad.
Just stop it.
unidentified
Stop.
harrison smith
That's how you deal with it.
But it's the more feminine trait to have empathy with it and the patience to deal with it.
It's a brave new world we're entering into, folks, where mothers and fathers are to be no more replaced by, I don't know, robots?
Sperm donors?
Who knows?

I don't like them putting chemicals in the water that turn the freaking frogs gay!
unidentified
Do you understand that?

I designed this shirt.
Just telling you.
I'm not bragging.
And I think it's one of my better designs than I did with the concept team, Robert and others over there.
And it's just incredible.
And I didn't intend for it to basically glow in the dark like a tree frog.
Can do some of the species, but it actually glows under these lights, under regular lights.
We've got a black shirt, a green shirt, and a cream shirt.
And on the back, it says Save the Frogs Infowars.com.
And on the front of the shirt, it's got the same little symbol over your heart.
And I'm telling you, we've had these shirts in for almost a month.
We hadn't gone on sale until the big shipment came in, because you get a test shirt, see if you approve it.
And as soon as I wore this out, everybody goes, what's that shirt?
I like that shirt.
John, the boom operator, never talks about my shirts.
He goes, what's that shirt?
I love that shirt today.
He wants one.
My son, I was going to shoot an ad for these yesterday.
He works up here.
He comes in my office.
He's done this since he's been as big as I am for years.
He's 18 now, but by the time he was 15, he was as big as I am now.
He's huge.
He wears XXL.
And I see him walking around in my shirt!
And I said, hey, you go to the warehouse down the road, you get one, you don't steal my shirt.
I'm telling you, this shirt's so popular, everybody's going crazy over it.
I don't know why, but there's just something about little frogs people like.
And the frogs are getting sterile, they're dying, and it's because of the atrazine and other chemicals they deliberately put in the water to basically shut down our fertility.
It's $17.76 for the shirts in cream with a green frog, black with a green frog, and green with a green frog.
We've shot all these under cameras.
They all look great.
They're all very handsome shirts.
They're very conservative looking shirts.
They don't look shocking.
They don't look aggressive.
Like my mass murderers agree shirt that I first designed myself on.
program like 25 years ago.
Computers were so slow back then.
It took me like half a day to even get the images to stay where they were on Photoshop, but it's Hitler, Stalin, and Mao.
It says mass murderers agree.
Gun control works, infowars.com.
On the back, it says politicians love disarmed peasants because I saw that on a bumper sticker.
Well, that's the original OG t-shirt.
That has been around 25 years.
Well, the new frog shirt is not as aggressive, but it's a great way to educate people and expose what's going on.
Just if you're a TV viewer, look at how it glows.
Out of the lights.
I mean, we hit a home run with this sucker.
I think this is gonna be a super best-seller.
