=== Jake's Protest Discussion (03:49) ===

[00:00:00]  If you believe.
[00:00:01]  Alright folks, Owen Schroyer here for InfoWars.com.
[00:00:03]  We're with Jake Lloyd and Nathan, one of our great graphics guys.
[00:00:07]  He's going to be running camera today for us.
[00:00:09]  We're meeting another cameraman down on the Capitol building here, the State Building in Austin, Texas.
[00:00:14]  And me and Jake were just discussing kind of what we were expecting out here.
[00:00:18]  Now, Jake's kind of been following this planned protest, and originally it was a protest to fight SB4, that's the Sanctuary City Bill.
[00:00:27]  So that was the original protest to...
[00:00:30]  Fight for sanctuary cities, protest for sanctuary cities, raise awareness that sanctuary cities are a good thing.
[00:00:35]  Of course, we assumed that that was going to snowball.
[00:00:39]  Into the Dreamers and into Sheriff Joe Arpaio and that's what we were kind of expecting.
[00:00:44]  But then he's been monitoring this and he's realized that a lot of other groups have endorsed it.
[00:00:48]  Tons of groups.
[00:00:49]  And so now we're expecting as usual this to just be an all-out Trump protest using any angle they can get.
[00:00:55]  But what Jake and I were just discussing is we've got all our bullhorns with us and we'll bullhorn these people if we have to.
[00:01:03]  But just like the intro to the last video I shot that went viral, we don't want to bullhorn these people.
[00:01:10]  You know, Jake just said it to me.
[00:01:12]  He was like, yeah, I mean, every time I go to these things, I look for a conversation.
[00:01:15]  I look to have a debate, and I was like, wow, I agree so much.
[00:01:19]  I want to shoot a video talking about that.
[00:01:21]  It's like every time we go to these things, Jake, we genuinely want to have a conversation, but we can never get it.
[00:01:26]  Well, the thing is, if we could actually talk to these people, if they actually had reasons for what they believed, it would show that they can actually be reasoned with.
[00:01:34]  They're reasonable people.
[00:01:35]  We can discuss what we believe, and we're not going to get called a Nazi or a fascist.
[00:01:39]  Right.
[00:01:39]  But the fact is, they don't have articulated positions.
[00:01:41]  They just believe what they're told to believe by the MSM, the establishment, all those other entities.
[00:01:47]  And it really makes you scared for the future of America, because there's so many people that have no idea what they're talking about.
[00:01:54]  Some of them are professors.
[00:01:55]  Yeah.
[00:01:56]  These aren't just people on the street.
[00:01:58]  These are people educating your kids, supposedly educating the future of America.
[00:02:02]  I mean, it really gives you a bleak outlook on the future.
[00:02:07]  Censoring the internet, too.
[00:02:08]  And so I just wanted to shoot this video as kind of a prelude.
[00:02:11]  So we're heading to the state building right now, and we're going to go deal with these protesters.
[00:02:15]  But again, I just want this to be on record before we get down there and go into the belly of the beast here.
[00:02:23]  Our goal is to actually talk to these people.
[00:02:27]  Our goal is to actually have an educated conversation and perhaps even a debate, but we want to do it civilly.
[00:02:34]  We don't want to just throw around name-calling or degenerate the conversation to cursing.
[00:02:40]  So I just want to give this on record.
[00:02:42]  Me and Jake both discussed this, and we've been talking about this for a few days now.
[00:02:47]  And, you know, it's fun to use the bullhorn.
[00:02:48]  I'm not going to lie.
[00:02:49]  I like using the bullhorn.
[00:02:51]  It's a fun time.
[00:02:52]  You get a lot of attention.
[00:02:53]  You can say some things.
[00:02:54]  The whole crowd hears it.
[00:02:55]  And it's a good thing.
[00:02:56]  But it's fun to troll.
[00:02:57]  Sure, it is fun.
[00:02:58]  And then they chant, don't feed the troll, and we win again.
[00:03:00]  But I just wanted to get this on record.
[00:03:02]  So as we're about to get to the state capitol here...
[00:03:05]  We are not coming here because we hate these people.
[00:03:08]  We're not coming here because we want to make these people look bad.
[00:03:11]  We're not coming here vitriolic, you know, in hate.
[00:03:14]  I'm actually in a great mood.
[00:03:16]  I'm feeling great.
[00:03:17]  Yeah, we're all three in a great mood.
[00:03:18]  It's a beautiful day here in Austin, Texas.
[00:03:19]  So I just wanted to get this on the record.
[00:03:22]  We're going to upload this video before we get down there.
[00:03:25]  We're not going down here, you know, vitriolic.
[00:03:27]  We're not going down here looking for hate.
[00:03:29]  We're not going down here looking to, you know, embarrass people.
[00:03:31]  We're just going down here to see what the other side of...

=== Looking for Civil Debate (00:39) ===

[00:03:38]  No, I mean, that's about it.
[00:03:48]  I mean, just going out here...
[00:03:49]  Definitely looking for discussion and debate.
[00:03:51]  I'm not a hateful person.
[00:03:52]  Even when these people start yelling stuff at me, I just feel bad that they're in this mindset.
[00:03:56]  I wish they could get free and think for themselves.
[00:03:59]  So that's all we're looking for out here, but that's about it for me.
[00:04:02]  So stay tuned on the Alex Jones channel on YouTube.
[00:04:04]  We're going to get these videos up.
[00:04:06]  Hopefully, we can find some protesters here that actually really like America and can have a debate about it, but that's not what we've seen.
