Alex Jones Show - 20081103_Mon_Alex

00:00:03.000 All right, here's what's happening.

00:00:10.000 I'm going to be on World Wide Iranian TV via audio.

00:00:14.000 We're visual on our side, live at PrisonPlanet.tv.

00:00:18.000 They just called.

00:00:18.000 The show starts about four or five after.

00:00:21.000 So they're going to be calling back in the next few minutes.

00:00:23.000 And then I will air them live here.

00:00:26.000 And then they will take control of the interview for this simulcast.

00:00:30.000 And so you'll hear whatever background news is going on.

00:00:33.000 And then as the guest will be interviewed, I will be in the interviewee position here on air.

00:00:40.000 Okay.

00:00:41.000 And so for stations out there, the ads will still play.

00:00:44.000 You just won't be able to hear what's going on on Iranian TV.

00:00:48.000 But John will take control from there.

00:00:50.000 And John, I'm going to turn down the ISDN once that happens so that you can be in control from Minnesota.

00:00:58.000 So I'm in Texas.

00:00:59.000 The Genesis Network is in Minneapolis, St.

00:01:01.000 Paul.

00:01:01.000 They're in Burnsville, a suburb to be precise.

00:01:07.000 We're going to be talking to international press TV out of London, England, which is satellited back into Tehran.

00:01:15.000 And this is English language, so you'll be able to understand them as soon as they call.

00:01:21.000 And I agreed to do this today.

00:01:22.000 I've said no a few other times because it's always on gold or oil or government terrorism or other subjects.

00:01:28.000 Today it's on U.S.

00:01:31.000 elections?

00:01:32.000 Who could win?

00:01:33.000 What happened to third parties?

00:01:34.000 U.S.

00:01:35.000 electoral system?

00:01:36.000 How democratic?

00:01:37.000 The future of U.S.

00:01:38.000 and world under John McCain or Obama?

00:01:41.000 Bush legacy.

00:01:41.000 What's at stake?

00:01:43.000 So, that is what we're going to be discussing today on Iranian international television and press TV is on some U.S.

00:01:55.000 cable and satellite systems.

00:01:58.000 Again, it is also on around the world so that is coming up and again you'll be able to watch it all uninterrupted at prison planet dot tv i have to Multitask a lot with what I do to be able to maximize getting the word out.

00:02:17.000 Would I love to go speak in your city or go speak in England or go speak in Croatia or Russia or Japan as I've been invited?

00:02:24.000 Would I love to be able to take my children to the Pacific Northwest and see whales as my wife dreams of doing?

00:02:29.000 Yes.

00:02:30.000 But every day I can sit here in the bunker reading, researching, doing radio interviews, doing TV interviews and having a huge effect.

00:02:40.000 And so that's why I'm doing this and that's why I can't come up to say Kansas City, KCXL invited me up there to speak to crowds.

00:02:47.000 Last time I was there was about a thousand people.

00:02:49.000 I can't do the things I want to do because we are affecting the biggest amount of change here over AM and FM, over the interviews I'm doing, over PrisonPlanet.tv, and with all of you that are taking the audio of this show and putting it all over the internet, on the file sharing networks, everywhere else.

00:03:10.000 Okay, I'm ready to go ahead and go to him.

00:07:58.000 The double scrutiny of the story and its coverage with me, Amir Afraf.

00:08:02.000 First as always, we'll start with a quick check of the big print.

00:08:05.000 Big print call. Big print call.

00:08:23.000 McCain and Obama embark on last-ditch tours of spring states.

00:08:28.000 Presidential candidates make appeals in key states.

00:08:30.000 Presidential candidates make appeals in key states.

00:08:38.000 Candidates sprint towards finish line.

00:08:58.000 Obama is up.

00:09:00.000 Infant fear.

00:09:01.000 That jinxes it.

00:09:02.000 Thank you.

00:09:03.000 Obama leads McCain in six of eight key states.

00:09:06.000 Obama in command on either U.S.

00:09:07.000 Obama leads McCain in six of eight key states.

00:09:14.000 Obama in command on Eva's U.S. vote.

00:09:25.000 World closely watching U.S. presidential elections.

00:09:37.000 If the world could vote in the U.S. election.

00:09:48.000 Stop us track the fine print.

00:09:56.000 We're joined from London by Dr. James Boyce, assistant professor of international political studies at Richmond.

00:10:01.000 The American International University in London and founder of the Resolute Group from Austin, Texas.

00:10:06.000 We're joined by Wayne Slater, author and senior political writer with the Dallas Morning News, co-author of Bush's Brain, How Karl Rove Made George W. Bush Presidential.

00:10:15.000 By the phone, we're joined from Austin, Texas again by Alex Jones, investigative journalist, documentary filmmaker, owner of InfoWords.

00:10:26.000 Welcome to the show, but straight to our first pick, Agence France-Presse, Obama in command on eve of U.S.

00:10:32.000 vote.

00:10:33.000 Barack Obama is huge on the threshold of history on Monday, as polls gave the Democrats a solid lead over John McCain on the last day of campaigning for the most dramatic U.S.

00:10:43.000 presidential vote in a generation.

00:10:45.000 But McCain, who has no room for error in the tense battle for a handful of toss-up states About to confound the pollsters and wrench victory from the African-American Obama's grasp on Tuesday.

00:10:59.000 The 47-year-old Democrat stressed the historic nature of his quest to be America's first black president, striking an optimistic tone as thresholds gave him a white leap and heaped further pressure on McCain.

00:11:11.000 He said, quote, This is a defining moment in our history, Obama wrote in an article published Monday in the Wall Street Journal.

00:11:17.000 Tomorrow, I ask you to write Our nation's next great chapter.

00:11:23.000 If you give me your vote, we won't just win this election together.

00:11:27.000 We will change this country and change the world.

00:11:30.000 McCain, a 72-year-old former prisoner of war in Vietnam, was defiant.

00:11:34.000 My opponent, he said, quote, is measuring the drape to the White House, he said, as he wrapped up a frenzied day of campaigning with a midnight rally in Miami.

00:11:43.000 The Mac is back, he said, quote, and we're going to win this election.

00:11:48.000 And of course, the polls give it all to Obama.

00:11:50.000 New Wall Street Journal NBC News poll put Obama at 51% of 43%.

00:11:54.000 CNN's latest poll on Sunday had Obama with a 53% to 46% edge.

00:12:00.000 The Washington Post ABC News poll gave him 54% to 43%.

00:12:04.000 Rasmussen said he was at 51% of McCain's 46%.

00:12:09.000 So let's go straight to Texas.

00:12:13.000 Wayne Slater, take a look at your crystal ball.

00:12:16.000 What do you see?

00:12:18.000 Well, I think the polls really indicated Barack Obama's year.

00:12:22.000 I just got off the plane, I spent almost a week with Barack Obama, before that a week with John McCain, and the Obama campaign is very, very confident.

00:12:32.000 What we're seeing here is a remarkable, not only campaign by Barack Obama, if he happens to win tomorrow, and I think the expectations are he probably will, but we're seeing a redefinition of who votes for Democrats in America.

00:12:47.000 Barack Obama is actually winning right now in some Southern states, something that no one has done and no Democrat has done since 1976, when Jimmy Carter, a fellow Southerner, won.

00:12:58.000 You see Barack Obama challenging in a state like North Carolina, part of the Old South, where 40% of the registered voters have already voted, most of them are Democrats, and if Barack Obama wins there and in Virginia, as well as the other states that he's expected to pick up

00:13:15.000 It not only will be a victory for the first African-American, an historic victory, but also a rather astonishing reconfiguration of the electoral map, which shows that the South, long Republican territory, might become part Democrat territory starting tomorrow.

00:13:32.000 Reuters agrees with you.

00:13:34.000 Obama leads McCain in 6 of 8, a key state.

00:13:36.000 Democrat Barack Obama leads Republican John McCain in 6 of 8, a key battleground state.

00:13:41.000 One day before the U.S.

00:13:42.000 election, including the big prides of Florida and Ohio, according to a series of Reuters, Zogby polls released on Monday.

00:13:49.000 Alex Jones, your look at your crystal ball, and do you see any surprise with all these polls going to Obama?

00:13:59.000 No, I don't.

00:14:00.000 The incredible support that we're witnessing for Barack Obama in almost every poll with leads of 10%, many of them, the smallest only about 5%, show that people don't like the policies of George W. Bush.

00:14:14.000 The problem is, and most pundits are predicting a very short honeymoon, including his running mate Joe Biden, For Barack Obama, because he's going to come in, he wants more defense spending, he wants more wars, he wants to go into Afghanistan and expand things.

00:14:28.000 Pakistan, he's for the warrantless Fourth Amendment destroying, wiretapping, spying on the American people. 1.00

00:14:35.000 He's gotten three times the Wall Street money that John McCain has gotten, four times the Goldman Sachs.

00:14:42.000 So he's going to be put in tomorrow by the public's outrage and by a media that's been giving him most the attention.

00:14:48.000 It's clear that the establishment knows they've ridden their Republican pony as far as they can.

00:14:53.000 They want a new, fresh horse, Barack Obama, to give them left cover, to pacify the left, so he can move in, bring in a global carbon tax, acquiesce to the banks who are literally just looting the country of not 800 billion, but trillions of dollars, giving it to themselves in bonuses.

00:15:09.000 Barack Obama is probably going to be elected tomorrow, but he's also going to be a huge disappointment for the American people.

00:15:15.000 You have a lot of conservatives voting for him because they're so sick of George Bush, but you also have about 30% of the U.S.

00:15:21.000 population saying that they're not totally decided, that they don't like either candidate.

00:15:26.000 You have Congress with an 11% approval rating.

00:15:29.000 Both parties are universally hated now at higher levels than we've ever had in history.

00:15:34.000 And so what's going to happen is Barack Obama is going to come into office probably, 95% chance I would say, all the polls show that, and then people are going to see that it's a different face, different rhetoric, a better speaker than George Bush, but that the global corporate institutions that control our executive branch are really in control, and so you're going to see a major crisis here in the United States as things intensify.

00:15:58.000 All right, you covered a lot of ground.

00:15:59.000 We'll be talking about that, the choices American people have, whether or not the two are true agents for change, either Obama or McCain.

00:16:08.000 No other choice, as facts speak for themselves.

00:16:11.000 But New York Times goes, Obama is up, and fans fear that jinxes it.

00:16:16.000 Let's get a doctor's voice for his speculation.

00:16:18.000 Plus, do you see any of this jinx could be nothing Other than the Bradley effect.

00:16:23.000 Do you see the Bradley effect simply people not voting black on election day despite all the polling?

00:16:28.000 Well, certainly the Bradley effect is something which the Obama campaign are greatly fearing.

00:16:39.000 This idea that people could be saying one thing to the pollsters and something else to themselves in private.

00:16:46.000 It's certainly got to be fighting away the heart of darkness at the Obama campaign.

00:16:51.000 I think, however, that as your polls have revealed, there is enough of a gap between the two candidates at this point.

00:16:58.000 There should be sufficient to see Barack Obama coast to victory tomorrow.

00:17:03.000 Whether it will be the landslide, which some people had forecast, I think is unlikely.

00:17:08.000 We will have to wait and see exactly what the figures emerge.

00:17:11.000 But I think it's telling today that we see John McCain very much on the defensive in states that he should have sawn up months ago, and Barack Obama very much on the offensive, campaigning in those states which George Bush took relatively easily in 2004.

00:17:27.000 We see John McCain traveling some 3,000 miles today to try to shore up his base, whereas Barack Obama appears to be taking it relatively easy, traveling just under a biome, all reckoning some 700 miles, very much to try to energize the Democrats and get them out to vote.

00:17:42.000 Wayne, well, of course, we have McCain saying Obama is perhaps measuring the drapes of the White House Well, he should be, according to the polls.

00:17:52.000 But do you see that broadly affect the race factor, changing all the polls come November 4th, that is hours away?

00:18:00.000 Yeah, I think Dr. Boyd has it exactly right.

00:18:05.000 If this were a close race, if in fact Barack Obama were leading in the polls, In the battleground states and nationally, by one or two percentage points, then I think the potential of the Bradley effect, where people, as he said, might telepolster that they would vote for Barack Obama, but secretly, when they actually go to vote, would not vote for an African-American, then I think the Bradley effect might have an effect.

00:18:30.000 But all indications are that even though this race is narrowing to some extent, and is expected to narrow in terms of the voter turnout, that the The margin of victory by Barack Obama, in the key battleground states especially, where he is expected to win by more than 2 or 3 or 4 percent, probably obligates the Bradley effect here.

00:18:54.000 If that happens, if in fact some voters are going to not vote for him because he is black, there's no question about that. 0.77

00:19:01.000 But if he's able to overcome that, it will be a rather remarkable moment in American politics.

00:19:07.000 We had slavery in this country 140 years ago.

00:19:10.000 That's when we abolished it.

00:19:12.000 And now that we have an African-American who could win the presidency of the United States, you know, 140 years since the 15th Amendment, which allowed the former slaves to vote, is an extraordinary moment.

00:19:26.000 So while few Americans may vote against Barack Obama because he is black, The indications are that there is a phenomenon here which is bigger than that, and that it's likely, though I'm not going to predict absolutely, but likely to sweep him into office tomorrow.

00:19:43.000 All right, let's take a look at this C-word of change. 1.00

00:19:47.000 Both campaigns have been talking about change.

00:19:50.000 Obama says the change we need, that their change is not authentic, and well, here is what he wrote.

00:19:56.000 Again, in the Wall Street Journal, this is a defining moment in our history, and then he said, tomorrow I ask you to write our nation's next great chapter.

00:20:05.000 If you give me your vote, we won't just win this election together, we will change this country and change the world!

00:20:13.000 Alex Jones, last time Bush said, I'll change the world after 9-11, we need to change.

00:20:17.000 What change does Obama really mean, both inside the U.S.

00:20:20.000 and outside?

00:20:21.000 Well, there's going to be real change, and it's the exact same change we would have seen with John McCain.

00:20:26.000 These guys on the issues aren't any different.

00:20:29.000 You just get some different rhetoric.

00:20:31.000 And Barack Obama has openly called for a million-person youth corps, youth brigades, out-enforcing as intelligence spies.

00:20:40.000 He's called for a three million-person environmental squads.

00:20:44.000 He's called for shutting down, quote, bankrupting the coal industry that supplies forty-nine percent of all of our power.

00:20:51.000 Yeah, he's going to bring in big government.

00:20:53.000 I mean, he's talking like he's the Messiah.

00:20:55.000 He's running TV ads where he's already sitting in the White House.

00:20:59.000 And so what he's going to bring is a lot of grassroots support just because the public thinks they're getting political change because he looks different.

00:21:08.000 But instead they're going to get change, the whole George Bush agenda, on steroids.

00:21:13.000 And so that's the bottom line here.

00:21:15.000 That's why You have Barack Obama unpopular on almost every issue.

00:21:20.000 The only reason he is popular with the people is because he's from a different party and they're hoping for some type of real change and they're not going to get it.

00:21:29.000 What they're going to get is what his running mate called for twice last week, a new world order where the very private banks that have orchestrated the derivatives collapse for a vertical integration, a consolidation They are now openly calling for a world government run by a select group of banks out of London, England that will set and control world taxes, world regulations, stock markets.

00:21:55.000 We will buy our carbon credits directly from a private group of central banks.

00:22:01.000 And so that is the change that Barack Obama is talking about.

00:22:05.000 He is talking about Bringing in more control, more of the same.

00:22:09.000 That's why he's getting more corporate contributions and more defense contributions and more big money contributions than John McCain.

00:22:18.000 The establishment positioned John McCain to win the Republican primary because they knew they were basically running a political corpse just like the system ran Bob Dole in 1996 against Bill Clinton.

00:22:29.000 And so we're all talking about Oh, the first black president.

00:22:32.000 While we're all talking about these little side issues, we should, as an American people, talk about the fact that Barack Obama has lied about every major issue. 0.94

00:22:43.000 He has turned around and stabbed the American people in the back.

00:22:47.000 He got the nomination claiming he was going to end the spying, end the police state, end the war, and now Biden and others.

00:22:54.000 Has come out and said, guess what?

00:22:56.000 We're not going to end any of it, basically.

00:22:58.000 It's going to be very unpopular, but this is what we're going to do.

00:23:00.000 We are going to see more of the New World Order, Neocon agenda, and we document it all at InfoWars.com and PrisonPlanet.com.

00:23:08.000 And so you're going to see massive resistance form in the next few years.

00:23:12.000 After the honeymoon is over, and as the United States goes into this orchestrated depression, you're going to see Barack Obama become incredibly unpopular, and we're going to see all sorts of resistance at every level here in the United States, and that's what I'm concerned about, because the left was all against George Bush and his globalist agenda, but now, because Barack Obama is set

00:23:34.000 to be launched in there with this whole messianic you know vision talking about he is the one he is coming to save the earth Newsweek calling him the president of the world you know the whole world saying he's this wonderful sweet loving person if you look at what he really is doing he's bringing tyranny and an end to the free market, a crony capitalist system where a select group of interbanks and corporations loot the United States like we saw with Boris Yeltsin and the oligarchs in Russia.

00:24:01.000 The United States is being looted from pillar to post by the transnational criminals. 1.00

00:24:06.000 Joseph Sticklitz on CNBC yesterday called for a world government run by the banks.

00:24:11.000 They are coming out against the people.

00:24:13.000 All right, let's see if James L. London agrees.

00:24:16.000 Well, can I just add, as a political scientist, it's a real honor to be on the show with Wayne Slater tonight, but let me see if I can add some sort of political dimension to that from an international perspective.

00:24:30.000 You're going to hear an awful lot over the next 24 hours and moving in through the interregnum until the inauguration about change.

00:24:37.000 Change is what we've heard from Barack Obama, of course, over the last 22 months or so.

00:24:42.000 But history will dictate that in every presidential election, whilst people talk heavily about change, what you get a great deal of is actually continuity.

00:24:49.000 any president coming into office is going to be forced to continue a whole raft of issues.

00:24:55.000 And what often changes is the rhetoric.

00:24:57.000 Now the rhetoric, as I'm sure many people realize, is important.

00:25:02.000 The rhetoric of George Bush really put people's backs up here in Europe, in London, and his whole tone was very aggressive and his demeanor was seen to be very much at odds with the European perspective.

00:25:15.000 I think Obama, the change he will initiate, will be one of tone and of an approach, a much more inclusive, multilateral, almost Clinton-esque, I think, approach to foreign policy, which will be much more in keeping with a European perspective.

00:25:30.000 And as a result, I think, very much ease America's position in the rest of the world vis-a-vis the countries with which it is tempting to form alliances, both militarily and financial.

00:25:40.000 Whoever becomes president has got a series of uphill challenges to face with.

00:25:44.000 One could almost ask who would want to be president at this point.

00:25:47.000 You've got the war in Iraq, war in Afghanistan, and a financial crisis, which is clearly going to dominate their time in office.

00:25:55.000 So whatever the candidates promise or pledge on the campaign trail, they're really going to face an uphill struggle in just trying to manage on a day-to-day basis And all these promises about spending and youth movement, I think, will take a secondary place once Obama, if he is installed in the White House, comes to pass.

00:26:15.000 Of course, you've been in the planes of both campaigns, but you have had the chance of being in the planes of the two only major campaigns.

00:26:22.000 Now, we will be talking about the third parties as well, but does this change?

00:26:26.000 Both are talking about the change.

00:26:28.000 Any difference between the two?

00:26:30.000 If... Let's have a preview of the difference.

00:26:32.000 We'll get into the details in the second half of the show.

00:26:40.000 Wayne?

00:26:42.000 We have Wayne?

00:26:42.000 I'm sorry, I thought you were going to break there.

00:26:45.000 No, look, there's going to be a change.

00:26:46.000 Now, it may not be the kind of change that Alex would anticipate, but there's going to be a change.

00:26:52.000 There's a difference between Barack Obama, Democratic Party, this approach, and John McCain.

00:26:57.000 And part of that change, as Alex said correctly, was this nation is sick and tired of George W. Bush, eight years of the Bush administration, and by extension, the attitude that the rest of the world has about America.

00:27:12.000 Americans don't like it.

00:27:14.000 That much of Europe, much of the rest of the world, doesn't particularly have use for us.

00:27:19.000 That the preemption policies with respect to the war of George Bush administration, the economic policies at home, which both Democrats and Republicans have shared to cause big problems, that all of that together has created an environment for significant change.

00:27:34.000 You're going to see in a Barack, we'll talk, as you say, more specifically later, but we're going to see an approach in terms of an outreach to Europe and the rest of the world that is more robust than we have seen certainly under the Bush administration.

00:27:47.000 But we're also going to see an effort to deal with the economic crisis in a way that is somewhat more sensitive to middle-income Americans, not simply low-wealthy.

00:27:59.000 At the same time, there's going to have to be a recognition that capital in the United States, which was part of the problem in terms of a few greedy operators, is going to have to be tended to.

00:28:12.000 So there's going to be an element of continuity in the way the Barack Obama administration, if there is one, You know, runs the White House.

00:28:19.000 But it's going to be different.

00:28:20.000 It's approached internationally.

00:28:22.000 It's approached here in the United States.

00:28:25.000 I should say that one area where it will be exactly the same, I think, is if in fact Barack Obama is challenged.

00:28:34.000 And Iran is a perfect example of what some Republican conservatives and John McCain and Barack Obama's own running mate suggest.

00:28:44.000 Could be an early challenge, a testing of this young president.

00:28:49.000 In the event something like that happens, I don't think people ought to be fooled.

00:28:54.000 This president would act pretty much like John McCain would act, George Bush would act, a traditional United States president would act, and that would be very strongly to protect United States interests.

00:29:06.000 So we have only just a few seconds left to the end of the first half, but something people haven't heard, over 20 parties, third parties, so-called third parties, running.

00:29:17.000 But even Americans haven't heard the names of most of these, and they do not know the candidates.

00:29:22.000 When we come back, we'll discuss the third parties, why it's only blue and or red, and then the change on the lips of both Barack Obama and his rival, John McCain.

00:29:35.000 We'll be back after a short break.

00:29:38.000 Thank you.

00:30:11.000 Pakistan warns U.S.

00:30:12.000 missile attacks inside its soil can spark a violent backlash.

00:30:16.000 Pakistani officials told visiting U.S.

00:30:18.000 Commander General David Petraeus missile strikes could severely hamper efforts to curb extremism.

00:30:24.000 Petraeus is the new head of the U.S.

00:30:25.000 US Central Command.

00:30:32.000 Iraqi President Jalal Taliban rejects the notion of the US setting up bases in the country's Kurdistan region.

00:30:38.000 Salabani's remarks came after a Kurdish leader said the U.S.

00:30:41.000 US military could have bases in the north if Washington and Baghdad failed to sign a security deal.

00:30:46.000 The Democratic Republic of Congo has placed the city of Goma under curfew.

00:30:56.000 The order came after rebel chief Lauren Nakunda threatened to drive the government from power unless it held direct talks on his demands.

00:31:03.000 The government has rejected the rebels' call for direct negotiation.

00:31:06.000 The race for the White House ended its final hours.

00:31:14.000 Polls show Barack Obama holding a solid lead in his historic quest to become the nation's first African-American president.

00:31:21.000 Meanwhile, John McCain is grasping for a last-minute comeback.

00:31:24.000 Wall Street opens on a courteous note a day before the US presidential election.

00:31:36.000 The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 3% about 45 minutes into the trading day.

00:31:42.000 A survey of top economists shows the majority believe the U.S.

00:31:45.000 will experience a recession through 2009.

00:31:53.000 Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama says they're looking forward to celebrating after the U.S.

00:31:58.000 election.

00:31:59.000 The idea of a first-like US President was in the minds of many Kenyans.

00:32:03.000 And Obama-mania helped businesses in Kenya sell their Obama products.

00:32:12.000 And a NATO warship has escorted a merchant vessel chartered by the World Food Program to deliver humanitarian aid to Somalia.

00:32:19.000 Escorting operations are designed to protect WFP-chartered vessels from piracy in one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.

00:32:26.000 Those are the latest here on SCV.

00:32:29.000 We're back with

00:32:53.000 Fine Friends just hours before the first Tuesday, after the first Monday in November, constitutionally when the Americans are supposed to go to the polls and choose the 44th president of the United States of America.

00:33:07.000 We're taking a look at all the controversy surrounding the election, how the world views the election.

00:33:12.000 From London, we're joined by Dr. James Boyce, Assistant Professor of International Political Studies at Richmond, the American International University of London, and founder of the Resolute Group.

00:33:21.000 From Austin, Texas, we're joined by Wayne Slater, author and senior political writer of Dallas Morning News, co-author of Bush's Brain, How Karl Rove Made George W. Bush Presidential.

00:33:29.000 By the phone, from Austin, Texas, by Alex Jones, investigative journalist, documentary filmmaker, owner of Infowars.com.

00:33:36.000 Gentlemen, once again, our pleasure.

00:33:38.000 But let's take a look at the website of a few other parties called third parties in the U.S.

00:33:44.000 Constitution Party, the Socialist Party USA, the Peace and Freedom Party, the Party of Principle against the Libertarian Party, the Green Party, And of course, the Green Party says the real difference between Democrat and Republican parties.

00:34:04.000 Do they represent your interests and values?

00:34:07.000 The Democrats talk about the different policies, positions, and priorities we'd see from a Democrat in the White House versus a Republican.

00:34:15.000 Most Democrat and Republican politicians, including Clinton, Gore, Kerry, and Bush, hold Similar positions on major issues, and that's why we need a real choice to oppose a party that gives power to we the people instead of powerful corporations.

00:34:28.000 Then, the site brings up a list of different issues and say where they happen to be the same.

00:34:33.000 It says issue, Green Party, Republican, Democrats.

00:34:36.000 And it talks about major issues like invasion and occupation of Iraq, where it says Green Party opposes, but Republicans and Democrats both support.

00:34:43.000 And when you go to the details, it says even invasion of Iraq, most Democrats, if not Barack Obama, they supported that, they actually signed the authorization, and also still support the Patriot Act, invasion of Afghanistan, these are what Republicans, Democrats, they're all the same, Kosovo War, military budget, Israeli occupation of West Bank and Gaza, global warming, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, a right to choose, national health,

00:35:11.000 Insurance, it goes on and on and on, simply saying they're both the same.

00:35:16.000 We've had Alex Jones already saying that, but Alex, back to you, if you have any more comments on whether or not to protect Republicans.

00:35:23.000 Yes, I have a lot of comments.

00:35:25.000 At the end of the last segment, I was unable to finish what I was saying, so I'd like to finish that, but that dovetails, that connects in to your latest question.

00:35:34.000 You know, both your guests are admitting that we're seeing continuity.

00:35:39.000 Whether John McCain gets in, or whether Barack Obama gets in, you're going to see continuity.

00:35:43.000 And that's because the big multinational corporations, the globalists, who openly own both the major parties, are in control of both of these men.

00:35:53.000 And until the 1990s, you could get a third party in the debates.

00:35:58.000 You could get other parties in the debates, and then the people could make a choice watching the presidential debates.

00:36:04.000 That's why you had Ross Perot getting close to 30%.

00:36:07.000 Since then, this private corporation, the Debate Commission, at the pressure from the Republican and Democrats, has closed the debates.

00:36:14.000 And so, we need to have larger debates.

00:36:18.000 The first debate should have 5, 6, 7, 8 different candidates.

00:36:21.000 They should be real debates, not just questions and answers.

00:36:25.000 You have the mainstream media here in the United States gives almost no attention to third parties or alternative parties, especially if they have any clout.

00:36:33.000 And so we have a constriction in the amount of choices the public has by the controlled corporate press, you know, that's owned by the same banks and bomb makers that own the two major parties.

00:36:44.000 And so that's the issue we're dealing here with.

00:36:47.000 And Barack Obama He's only different from John McCain and George Bush cause medically and that's why Wall Street's giving him more money than anybody else because they believe he can neutralize the left to support these wars.

00:36:59.000 He's talked about needing to have conflicts with Russia.

00:37:02.000 He came out against Russia with what happened in Georgia when Georgia is now admitted in the State Department admits snuck attack the Russian held area of Ossetia and Abkhazia.

00:37:12.000 We have all of this going on, and we have Barack Obama, no different from Bush when it comes to the banker takeover bill, known as the bailout.

00:37:22.000 So the point I'm making here is Congress has an 11% approval rating.

00:37:28.000 Now, in fact, that was a few months ago.

00:37:32.000 Now it's a 9% approval rating.

00:37:34.000 The lowest in U.S.

00:37:35.000 history.

00:37:35.000 I go back to that point.

00:37:36.000 I'd like to hear your guest speak to this.

00:37:38.000 The reason they have the lowest approval rating in history in the United States is because the people have figured out that both parties are controlled by the same interests.

00:37:46.000 They just hate George Bush so much that they're giving Barack Obama a chance.

00:37:52.000 And I'm telling you, Go ahead.

00:37:53.000 Let's put the question across to Wayne Slater.

00:37:55.000 Wayne, of course, the only body less popular than the President right now in the U.S.

00:38:00.000 happens to be the Congress.

00:38:02.000 So does that mean that the Americans are, right now, aware of the fact that Democrats and Republicans, as Alex suggests, well, simply are no different, and they're not the ones they want in office?

00:38:15.000 That's part of it.

00:38:15.000 I think that there are not distinct differences between the parties.

00:38:18.000 Both candidates tend to, in this great race, tend to run towards the center.

00:38:22.000 But instead of being a recognition, as Alex suggests, by the American public that they're owned by corporations of the corporate global elite, I think it's more the fact that Americans are simply not happy with their political institutions at all because they didn't do anything.

00:38:38.000 They basically have become more polarized.

00:38:40.000 The institutions of government, the way we elect people, the shape of our districts, producing different candidates and different office holders, And the rest of it has invited a kind of polarized, gridlocked, deadlocked in places like Washington, where you have, certainly under George W. Bush, a polarized environment where very little gets done.

00:39:09.000 There's not a sense of compromise, there's a sense of my way or the highway.

00:39:14.000 And for normal Americans, who are looking at their savings at home, or looking whether they can pay their mortgage, or they want to send their kids to college, And they watch these guys up in Washington, whether it's in the White House or in Congress, simply having such difficulty solving problems.

00:39:30.000 That, I think, is more than anything else what has contributed to the lowest rating.

00:39:36.000 Let us also take a look at the so-called third party.

00:39:39.000 Why is it just Blue and red.

00:39:41.000 How would you explain the Electoral College?

00:39:43.000 Now, people voting November the 4th, but the real vote for President cast on December 15th when 538 people decided at the end of the day.

00:39:52.000 Canadian press goes off to Electoral College, how Americans choose a new president.

00:39:57.000 Quorin.com goes, Electoral College, our ballots should matter more. 0.71

00:40:01.000 Forbes goes, the Electoral College, why Obama and McCain probably don't care about you?

00:40:05.000 That means the voters.

00:40:06.000 And we have another headline, popular vote versus Electoral College.

00:40:11.000 This, of course, back in 2000 was quite notorious.

00:40:15.000 So the electoral system in the U.S., is that really democratic?

00:40:18.000 I would like to comment.

00:40:19.000 Go ahead.

00:40:20.000 I'll get back to you, Alex.

00:40:22.000 Let's have Wayne end this and then I'll get back to you.

00:40:24.000 Very, very briefly, it is democratic in a sort of small way, but you're right.

00:40:29.000 Institutionally, it works against the interests of a truly vigorous Yeah.

00:40:34.000 different approach, which a third-party candidate has to do.

00:40:38.000 And as Alex said, the most recent example of a vigorous third-party challenge, Ross Perot, happened because he was offering something truly different from the other two.

00:40:48.000 You saw Teddy Roosevelt a century ago, who was offering something really different.

00:40:53.000 In neither case did they win.

00:40:55.000 But the institutions, I think Alex is right, the institutions, the mechanisms of the way we do it, including the Electoral College, which has been with us for a long time, does militate against the advantage of a third, more inventive, vigorous, interested, and different more inventive, vigorous, interested, and different approach to our government.

00:41:15.000 Alright, now a challenge for Alex.

00:41:16.000 Hold on just a few seconds while I go to Alondra.

00:41:20.000 Doctor, I'd like to have your take on the democratic nature of the U.S.

00:41:24.000 electoral system.

00:41:26.000 Thanks very much.

00:41:28.000 I'd like to come back, actually, to what Alex was saying, because I think there is a popular misunderstanding about the American political system.

00:41:34.000 We talk about two parties, but I think you could make a very valiant claim that there are actually 50 parties, because the national party system in the United States is very, very different than it is here in England, for example.

00:41:45.000 People are much more powerful at a local state level, which allows someone like Barack Obama to come forward and to defeat the sort of like the candidate of choice for the party, which would have been Hillary Clinton, for example.

00:41:58.000 I'd also pull issue with this idea that third parties are not important in American politics.

00:42:04.000 As Wayne rightly points out, we can think about the progressive movement, the Bull Moose Party of Theodore Roosevelt in the 20s.

00:42:11.000 We can come forward to think about the Dixiecrats in the 40s.

00:42:15.000 Alex talked about this idea that only until the 1990s could you have a party of a third party coming through to challenge me.

00:42:23.000 But Ross Perot, of course, actually challenged in the 1990s.

00:42:26.000 And if Alex is worried about the influence of big money in American politics, well, the only reason that Ross Perot was able to stage his remarkable third party success in which he achieved 19% of the electoral popular vote in 1992 was because he was a billionaire.

00:42:44.000 So if Alex is worried about big money in America, I think Ross Perot is an interesting and perhaps contradictory choice to hold up as an example.

00:42:51.000 No, let me counter that.

00:42:54.000 What I'm saying, that's a misrepresentation.

00:42:56.000 I was talking about the last time there was a true, strong third party challenge.

00:43:02.000 I wasn't discussing Ross Perot's money or how Ross Perot got into that position.

00:43:07.000 I was talking about the attempts since then to further freeze third party Candidates and parties out of the larger discussion and out of the media and a circling of the wagons by the two-party dictatorship that we have in this country.

00:43:23.000 Now, let me just be clear here.

00:43:26.000 The American people, it isn't that nothing's being done in Washington.

00:43:29.000 Thousands of pieces of legislation are being passed, okay, at the state and federal level.

00:43:34.000 The people are frustrated because 91% in every major Gallup poll want to control the border.

00:43:39.000 Both parties say no, because the corporations want cheap labor and to drive down the wages.

00:43:44.000 The American people, 75% or higher, don't want these wars.

00:43:47.000 But both parties are still for it and still push it.

00:43:51.000 On issue after issue, the Congress only has a 9% approval rating because the people understand that special interests are in control of the process more and more.

00:44:02.000 They've always been there, but more and more, that's happening.

00:44:06.000 So that's why this country is moving towards revolution.

00:44:09.000 That's why the Army Times reported they have NORTHCOM, regular army brigades, pull it up yourself on Google, ready to, quote, deal with American insurrection.

00:44:18.000 Because the American people understand that both parties are controlled.

00:44:23.000 And you're right, they're hoping Barack Obama will do something different.

00:44:27.000 They're hoping that it's all just rhetoric, that he's basically going to be lockstep with what George Bush did.

00:44:32.000 Because George Bush was lockstep with what the last president did.

00:44:35.000 Because it's a military-industrial complex that is using America as the engine of world government And the engine of empire for the Anglo-American establishment.

00:44:45.000 So that's what we're dealing with here and so instead of just talking about the horse race, Barack Obama and of course John McCain, the supposed maverick, I'm pointing out that it's like a Don King boxing match where he owns both the fighters.

00:44:57.000 Or it's like a horse race where all ten of the horses are owned by the same person.

00:45:02.000 They're going to end up winning.

00:45:03.000 I'm saying our system fundamentally is breaking down and is corrupt and we need gridlock in Congress.

00:45:09.000 By the way, on the subject of the Electoral College, I'm all for it.

00:45:13.000 Why am I for it?

00:45:14.000 Our senators, until the 17th Amendment in 1913, were appointed by the state.

00:45:18.000 They were appointed by the legislatures.

00:45:21.000 Because the Senators were creatures of the state, so you couldn't have an all-powerful federal dictatorship.

00:45:26.000 And so now our popular vote is counted at the state level, and then it goes up for the number of electoral votes that that state has representing its congressional districts.

00:45:38.000 And then, and they've never gone against this, the Congress then goes with the popular vote.

00:45:44.000 So it's the same system of state power, and that's what we're dealing with here, and that's why I am against a, quote, popular vote, because that allows more federalization and more control.

00:45:55.000 Imagine if our senators were still creatures of the states.

00:45:58.000 The states are being turned into vassals of the feds.

00:46:01.000 This is empire, and we need to turn this around.

00:46:05.000 We need to turn this around today.

00:46:06.000 All right.

00:46:07.000 Now, Alex, we need to move on to a very important issue.

00:46:11.000 AP goes, the world closely watching U.S.

00:46:15.000 presidential elections.

00:46:16.000 And op-ed news is if the world could vote in the U.S.

00:46:21.000 And of course, many believe Obama's international experience would go a long way in helping repair damage caused by the unpopular U.S.-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, with recent opinion polls from more than 70 nations favoring him, a resounding 3-1 over Republican John McCain.

00:46:21.000 election.

00:46:37.000 So Wayne Slater, what to say for the world's three-foot broad?

00:46:43.000 Basically, I have to tell you that many American voters, if they knew that the rest of the world wanted Barack Obama, it would not be a positive for Barack Obama.

00:46:52.000 On the other hand, there is a general sense, and I think Barack Obama is going to pull the troops out of Iraq.

00:47:01.000 I think he's going to reposition some troops into Afghanistan, as he promised.

00:47:07.000 And there is going to be a very active effort to reach out to the rest of the world in a way the Bush administration has not done.

00:47:15.000 This is going to be a change, a difference.

00:47:18.000 Now, maybe some critics don't think that's enough, but this administration is going to do that.

00:47:24.000 I have great confidence that if Barack Obama is elected tomorrow, you're going to see a different America in terms of its relationship with the rest of the country, including the Middle East.

00:47:35.000 Wayne, let me ask you this then, real fast.

00:47:38.000 What is going to... Why, then, is Joe Biden and others saying, get ready for him to do something internationally?

00:47:45.000 What is this crisis?

00:47:46.000 You know, you're kind of an insider of the Democratic Party.

00:47:48.000 I mean, you've been flying around with Obama.

00:47:50.000 All these leaders, including in Europe, have said a major crisis on the 21st and 22nd of January when he is inaugurated.

00:47:56.000 Colin Powell said it on Meet the Press.

00:47:58.000 Can you please enlighten us and tell us what this major international crisis is going to be that Joe Biden says his running mate is going to be very unpopular with the left?

00:48:07.000 Sounds like going into Pakistan to me. 0.98

00:48:10.000 Wayne?

00:48:13.000 That's entirely possible.

00:48:14.000 Pakistan is a more aggressive approach to Pakistan.

00:48:17.000 It's a possibility.

00:48:19.000 What Biden said was that the new president, whoever it was, would be challenged, would be tested.

00:48:24.000 Especially if it's a new president like Barack Obama.

00:48:27.000 I don't know what it's going to be, Alex.

00:48:29.000 It's going to be something.

00:48:30.000 Somebody's going to rattle their sabers somewhere.

00:48:33.000 But I do think that most forces, whether they're in the Middle East or elsewhere, whether it's North Korea, understand that there is a continuity, whether you like it or not, in the United States.

00:48:45.000 And any challenge of this president, whoever it is, is going to be met by this government.

00:48:51.000 Absent that, we're going to see a different approach and attitude.

00:48:56.000 I agree, it's going to be a velvet glove and that's why the corporations want him, because he can sell the world on accepting a couple more wars.

00:49:08.000 Let's talk about continents right now, of course, the Middle East as well.

00:49:16.000 Let's talk about transatlantic relations, let's talk about Latin America, let's talk about the Middle East, Iraq and Afghanistan, of course, briefly, but broadly.

00:49:26.000 Well, I think it's interesting that the article you initially referenced talked about Barack Obama's international experience.

00:49:33.000 I would have thought that if Barack Obama had a weakness, it was his lack of an international experience.

00:49:38.000 I do hope the paper wasn't referring to his brief but glorious European tour, which saw him come to London and Berlin earlier in the summer.

00:49:47.000 No sort of experience to debate upon whatsoever.

00:49:51.000 John McCain arguably has a far greater international experience in dealing with the press and with the international leaders, so I think that's a little bit of a misnomer on that account.

00:50:01.000 In terms of how he's going to deal with things, as I said earlier on, Tony's going to have an awful lot to do with this.

00:50:07.000 I think he will be more prepared to take an aggressive stance with Pakistan and their perhaps inability... Does that mean a new war? 1.00

00:50:16.000 Does it mean a new war?

00:50:17.000 No, I don't think it means a new war.

00:50:18.000 I think it means taking on a slightly different approach with regard to Pakistan.

00:50:23.000 I think what Obama will do will be to shift quite rightly the focus away from Iraq towards the battlefront in Afghanistan and to hopefully try and alleviate the pressure which is on the British troop contingent in that part of the world.

00:50:37.000 But only on the surface.

00:50:38.000 They're going to stay in Iraq. 0.99

00:50:39.000 They're going to leave at least 50,000 troops there and bring in more?

00:50:43.000 That's the question.

00:50:44.000 Dr. Boyd, how about Iraq?

00:50:45.000 Do you see just residual forces left in Iraq according to Barack Obama?

00:50:49.000 What does he mean by that?

00:50:50.000 50,000, 60,000 on a permanent basis?

00:50:54.000 I mean, you know, I'm not an insider of the Pentagon.

00:50:57.000 I can't comment upon exactly what figure is going to be there.

00:50:59.000 I would agree with Alex that America, where it goes overseas, tends to remain. 0.81

00:51:04.000 And this is one of the main arguments against it.

00:51:06.000 Yeah, so they're going to depoliticize it.

00:51:08.000 Oh, it's a liberal, it's a Democrat.

00:51:10.000 It's okay to keep the troops there, and then we'll just forget about it.

00:51:13.000 Hang about.

00:51:14.000 Not at all.

00:51:15.000 I think one of the main complaints against American foreign policy is the idea that it doesn't have an exit strategy because it doesn't intend to ever leave.

00:51:22.000 And I think there is a major problem there.

00:51:24.000 I think the main shift is going to move away from Iraq towards Afghanistan.

00:51:28.000 But I do think that as Armies after armies and centuries after centuries have discovered, the British included, Afghanistan is very much a black hole into which a number of Western powers have sunk, and I fear the United States is just going to be the latest in a long line. 0.83

00:51:43.000 Well, I agree with you.

00:51:44.000 It's collapsing right now.

00:51:45.000 The forces are already pinned down in what, two or three major cities?

00:51:49.000 I mean, Mohammed Karzai is really only the mayor of Kabul.

00:51:52.000 And the rest of the troops are there just guarding the opium fields to make sure that gets shipped out to America's breakfast tables. 0.98

00:51:58.000 But bottom line here, ladies and gentlemen, get ready for the New World Order. 0.99

00:52:02.000 Get ready.

00:52:03.000 They have announced that they're going to have a small group of private central banks running the world's finance, controlling everything through new international agreements, and Bush's legacy is going to be to demonize true conservatism, demonize the United States, And then basically set us up for the next phase of the New World Order globalism based out of Europe.

00:52:22.000 And so, you know, basically I want it on record that George Bush is not from Texas.

00:52:26.000 George Bush is not a real conservative.

00:52:28.000 George Bush was a globalist puppet who was put in there to make everybody have rage and hate the United States so the establishment could then give us their new savior, their new world leader, their new world president, as Newsweek calls him, Barack H. Obama.

00:52:43.000 And he is there to fool the world, and I'm telling you, we're in for hard times, ladies and gentlemen.

00:52:48.000 Just get ready, and Afghanistan, and Pakistan, and encircling Russia, and that sneak attack that NATO and the U.S. 0.92

00:52:56.000 did through their proxy in Georgia, and the nerve of our media, that shows how reckless they are, to come on our TV sets and say Russia snuck attack them.

00:53:04.000 I mean, we're in a lot of trouble, and I'm telling you, They have told us, Powell listed the days this is supposedly going to happen.

00:53:12.000 And I'm telling you, they're going to try to make him look like a tough war hawk.

00:53:16.000 They may even do some more stage Gulf of Tonkin stuff to basically christen, have an inaugural terror event or something so that Barack Obama can pose as a savior.

00:53:27.000 All right, we have about a minute left.

00:53:30.000 We'll have a minute later.

00:53:30.000 I'd like to have more from you on Obama and the international scene, if he's president, if polls are proven right.

00:53:38.000 Thank you.

00:53:40.000 The Palestinian issue, the Latin American issue... He's already promised in this camp. 0.83

00:53:45.000 Yeah.

00:53:45.000 He is going to be much more open in dealing with Latin America.

00:53:48.000 He's going to be much more open, frankly, in dealing with Iran.

00:53:51.000 In an effort to deal and to reverse the attitudes of the rest of the world.

00:53:57.000 Bad attitudes about the United States.

00:54:00.000 This is going to be a very different administration.

00:54:03.000 Good cop, bad cop.

00:54:04.000 And with respect to going actively again war, the American people have no appetite for an active military expedition now after this debacle in Iraq.

00:54:17.000 This administration will be governed by an American attitude in terms of the public.

00:54:21.000 It will really be designed in engaging the rest of the world in a positive At least in a communicable way.

00:54:27.000 corporate PR.

00:54:28.000 The instinct is what we're going to see.

00:54:30.000 All right.

00:54:31.000 That's pretty much the time we had for another edition of Find for the very special one hours before November 4th, U.S.

00:54:39.000 presidential election, what's at stake for the U.S.

00:54:41.000 and the world.

00:54:42.000 We'll have a special coverage of that.

00:54:44.000 From London, we're joined by Dr. James Boyce, assistant professor of international political studies at Richmond, the American International University of London, and founder of the Resolute Group from Austin, Texas, by Wayne Slater, author and senior political writer of Dallas Morning News, co-author of Bush's Brain, How Karl Rove Made George W. Bush Presidential.

00:55:03.000 He's also been in the playing of both campaigns for the past Thanks for having me on.

00:55:07.000 Really appreciate it.

00:55:08.000 Thank you, gentlemen.

00:55:08.000 by Alex Jones, investigative journalist, documentary filmmaker, and owner of InfoWars.com.

00:55:15.000 Gentlemen, thank you for your time.

00:55:16.000 Thanks for having me on.

00:55:17.000 Really appreciate it.

00:55:18.000 Thank you, gentlemen.

00:55:18.000 Enjoyed talking to you.

00:55:19.000 Steve and to our viewers, always watch out for the fine print right here.

00:55:23.000 Press TV with me.

00:55:24.000 I'm here.

00:55:26.000 Alex?

00:55:27.000 Thank you.

00:55:27.000 Yes?

00:55:28.000 You were so perfect, gentlemen.

00:55:30.000 I wish to have you in our shows on Wednesday.

00:55:32.000 I'm going to talk with you again.

00:55:34.000 Thank you and have a great time.

00:55:35.000 Enjoy yourself.

00:55:36.000 And you were really perfect, gentlemen.

00:55:38.000 Thank you.

00:55:38.000 God bless.

00:55:39.000 Sorry I got so fired up.

00:55:40.000 Take care.

00:55:41.000 Thank you.

00:55:42.000 Bye-bye.

00:55:42.000 Bye-bye, sir.

00:55:43.000 All right.

00:55:43.000 Bye-bye.

00:55:43.000 Okay, we're back on Genesis.

00:55:50.000 John Harmon, that all go good for the last 50 minutes?

00:55:53.000 Yeah, it was excellent.

00:55:54.000 Come up on air, tell us what you thought of that.

00:55:58.000 It was quite interesting to be on, you know, international... Yeah, I'm on Russian, I'm on British, I'm on Japanese every week now, pretty much, and a lot of these things they have me on by phone, so that's good.

00:56:12.000 They're driving me down to the studios all the time.

00:56:14.000 But I found the Iranians are just incredibly fair to the United States.

00:56:17.000 I mean, people think of Iranian TV as just America-bashing.

00:56:21.000 It's usually two-to-one.

00:56:22.000 Against me, well not usually, it always is, where there's like pro, you know, nuke Iran stuff, you know, with the U.S. 0.67

00:56:30.000 people, even on their own shows.

00:56:33.000 Oh yeah, they think all foreigners are, you know, terrorists and whatnot.

00:56:37.000 But I mean, Iran even puts on the American view, and so it's not fair and balanced. 0.73

00:56:42.000 They give the Western BS view two-thirds of the time.

00:56:46.000 That's completely true, yeah.

00:56:48.000 So I mean, but then meanwhile our Fox TV or CNN's like watching Looney Tunes or something.

00:56:53.000 It's so biased and so full of lies.

00:56:57.000 Ladies and gentlemen, I'm glad we could do that simulcast here on the Genesis Network to our AM and FM affiliates, Global Shortwave, Satellite, the Internet, and the rest of it.

00:57:04.000 If you're listening at InfoWars.com or watching on PrisonPlanet.tv, you would have been able to see and hear the entire Transmission.

00:57:12.000 By tonight, they'll also have one of their top new shows, worldwide and in Iran, will be up there in their archives.

00:57:19.000 It'll just be in the programs.

00:57:20.000 Click on the fine print and you can go and watch the video.

00:57:26.000 Of course, you can see it at prisonplanet.tv.

00:57:28.000 We're piping it in.

00:57:29.000 But you can also watch it there with their feed without cutting into my video feed here in the studio.

00:57:34.000 But great technology.

00:57:35.000 Well, thank God for it.

00:57:36.000 It's really hurting the New World Order.

00:57:37.000 That's why they're trying to shut it down. 0.94

00:57:39.000 I'm in Austin.

00:57:40.000 Genesis is up in Minnesota.

00:57:41.000 They're in London and Tehran.

00:57:43.000 And you heard that all Nexus in.

00:57:44.000 They were dialed in to London.

00:57:46.000 They were dialed in to Austin.

00:57:47.000 They were dialed in all over.

00:57:48.000 That is definitely very, very interesting.

00:57:51.000 Listen, we're going to have four hours of election coverage in your phone calls tomorrow.

00:57:57.000 And then, of course, on Wednesday we'll cover election fraud and whatever happens.

00:58:01.000 I hope there's no rioting or problems.

00:58:03.000 But we'll keep following this.

00:58:05.000 The point is, Barack Obama is a puppet and nothing's going to change but the rhetoric.

00:58:09.000 They play good cop, bad cop.

00:58:11.000 It'll be all the same policies, a different rhetoric.

00:58:14.000 And so we'll see what happens.

00:58:16.000 The torture, the secret arrest, the Military Commissions Act, the John Warner Defense Authorization Act, the end of posse comitatus, the Patriot Acts.

00:58:24.000 You're not going to see any of that repealed despite the fact that they're going to have the House, the Senate, and the Executive.

00:58:30.000 Now that's the point.

00:58:31.000 God bless you all.

00:58:32.000 Rebroadcast starts in one minute at InfoWars.com on the streams and at the podcast, downloaded by millions every week.

00:58:37.000 God bless you all.
