00:00:01.000 And we've got another thing called talk radio.
00:00:03.000 And I'm happy to introduce local radio talk show host Alex Jones.
00:00:09.000 I want to thank everybody here who is in defiance of tyranny.
00:00:22.000 Yes!
00:00:23.000 And everything these people have said is absolutely true.
00:00:26.000 Make no mistake, the enemy is on the march.
00:00:30.000 They want you disarmed, just like Adolf Hitler, just like Josef Stalin, just like all the rest of thugs from Mao to Pol Pot to our enemy 90 miles off our coast in Cuba. 0.57
00:00:41.000 You don't hear the mainstream media talk about the hundreds of thousands of people that Fidel has tortured.
00:00:47.000 And I support our local law enforcement.
00:00:50.000 They are the Achilles' heel of big government.
00:00:54.000 That's why I'm saying to our law enforcement here today, we count on you.
00:00:58.000 To follow that oath, to protect and defend the Constitution of the state of Texas and of the United States of America, that our forefathers fought the British to uphold!
00:01:11.000 Tyrants know that serfs are disarmed, whether it was feudal Europe or feudal Japan.
00:01:20.000 And I heard that judge earlier.
00:01:22.000 What a wonderful speech he gave.
00:01:24.000 He's absolutely right.
00:01:25.000 This is what the French call The force majeure.
00:01:28.000 The most powerful force.
00:01:30.000 It's about power!
00:01:32.000 And I know thousands of people that call or write me letters that are almost afraid to do it and mail it from the post office with no attorney address because they're afraid.
00:01:40.000 Because they know the power of this central government.
00:01:43.000 They know the sociopaths that are being hired in the FBI and the big agencies.
00:01:47.000 People like Lon Horiuchi.
00:01:49.000 And the good people like Frederick Whitehurst are leaving.
00:01:52.000 Former FBI crime lab head.
00:01:54.000 Now if we go back in history, There's been a lot of talk about history, and it does prove what's happening today.
00:02:00.000 I'm not worried about the people here today wearing sidearms.
00:02:05.000 I love it.
00:02:05.000 It's good.
00:02:06.000 It makes me feel happy.
00:02:08.000 It makes me not worry about my 11-year-old little sister.
00:02:11.000 It makes me not worry about my mother and my grandparents.
00:02:15.000 You know, my family's been in Texas since 1829 on my father's side and 1845 on my mother's side as German immigrants in this area.
00:02:24.000 And let me tell you, there's old gun lockers at my father's home, part of the house that didn't burn down in turn of the centuries, about 150 years old.
00:02:33.000 I'm serious.
00:02:33.000 Very, very old.
00:02:35.000 And there are old gun lockers in there.
00:02:36.000 There are old shotguns that are 160, 170 years old.
00:02:40.000 There's new guns, you name it, while my HK-91s are stored there.
00:02:44.000 And nobody in my family has ever gone to prison for murder or assault, and we all know how to use firearms.
00:02:52.000 We all know how to shoot a ragged hole at 200 yards.
00:02:54.000 And we're not backing down Bill Clinton.
00:02:56.000 You can go to Russia during the 60s.
00:02:58.000 You can train and learn from your good buddies over in Europe how to take this nation over.
00:03:03.000 And I say to you, we refuse to submit.
00:03:06.000 And every person out there, you have the power to lead.
00:03:09.000 You have the power to do what it takes to stand up for this country and stand up for the world, the United States of America that has stood up for hundreds of years against tyranny.
00:03:19.000 Then I go and I read the textbooks.
00:03:25.000 People send them to me up at the radio station, up at the TV station.
00:03:29.000 And I open it up, and what do I see?
00:03:32.000 Things in the Texas McGrathers government.
00:03:34.000 It says the Second Amendment has nothing to do with the right to keep bare arms, and it's misunderstood widely.
00:03:42.000 I hear about how bad America is.
00:03:44.000 And you're right, America's not a perfect country.
00:03:46.000 Look at every other nation in its history.
00:03:49.000 But we're the best nation on the face of the earth because people were willing to stand up, put all their treasure, Everything on the line because they didn't like bullies and they wanted to control their destiny.
00:04:03.000 Now do you want control of your destiny or do you want to be a slave on your feet with some leering bureaucrat over you telling you what you can do?
00:04:13.000 The age of big government has just begun.
00:04:16.000 It's far from over.
00:04:18.000 And I will repeat the words of our founding father, the father of our country.
00:04:24.000 George Washington, firearms are the teat and the strength of the Constitution.
00:04:30.000 Without them, evil men and tyrants flourish.
00:04:34.000 Criminals are cowards.
00:04:36.000 That's why they fear you.
00:04:39.000 And I heard the judge say earlier, there's more people here than fought and died at the Alamo.
00:04:44.000 And look, the great bushfires in the minds of men that their noble sacrifice created.
00:04:49.000 And all the revisionist historians can't stop that anymore than they can degrade the Minutemen The Paul Revere's.
00:04:56.000 The people out there on the front line, and make no mistake, every single man, woman, and child, you are the Paul Revere's of the world.
00:05:02.000 Now go out to the public and let the world know that you're not backing down.
00:05:06.000 This is the final configuration.
00:05:08.000 Power is massing massively.
00:05:10.000 Our banks have been taken over by foreign countries.
00:05:12.000 Even Forbes magazine will tell you that.
00:05:14.000 Our nation is in the midst of the Third World War, and it's economic, and it's being fought in your minds.
00:05:20.000 Now get out there, the Paul Revere's of the world.
00:05:23.000 And educate the public.
00:05:24.000 Stand up against the tyrants.
00:05:26.000 And please, stay with us for the senator.
00:05:29.000 All the way down here from New Hampshire, Senator Smith.
00:05:33.000 A guy, when I'm flipping past C-SPAN, I always stop and watch.
00:05:37.000 And I encouraged him, I know he's tired, works all the time, to get down there and do more of those 20-minute speeches, even though nobody's in there, because America's watching.
00:05:44.000 We don't care what those sold-out pops and servants think. 1.00
00:05:48.000 We don't care.
00:05:49.000 They're not there leering.
00:05:50.000 We want that sacred house to be filled with good people like the senator from New Hampshire.
00:05:55.000 And their license plate reads, live free or die.
00:05:58.000 I'll take the words of Patrick Henry as I close.
00:06:03.000 And I'll close on this.
