00:00:25.000We were up until, I think, 1 2 a.m. Central Time.
00:00:31.000Watching the election results from last night's midterm primary come in.
00:00:37.000Specifically, we were watching Arizona, well, the states that were involved in the primary last night that we watched.
00:00:45.000We watched Arizona, Washington State, Missouri, Michigan, and Kansas.
00:00:51.000And we were looking at, I think it was five or six of those races specifically.
00:00:57.000We were watching Arizona governor, Arizona Senate, a few Arizona congressional races, watching some state races.
00:01:06.000For example, Attorney General and our State Senator Wendy Rogers watching the Joe Kent District in Washington State, as well as Congressional District 4 John Gibbs in Michigan.
00:01:34.000Tonight, our featured story, we're going to talk about the results from last night's midterms.
00:01:39.000Total America First victory, total Groyper victory.
00:01:43.000Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised, you know, because a lot of these races were competitive.
00:01:51.000And I'm talking about the ones I just listed off, the ones that were of interest to us, the ones most significant for this movement.
00:01:59.000A lot of those races were competitive, and we won every single one of them.
00:02:06.000I know that the GOSAR team was campaigning this year because of the redistricting.
00:02:11.000It kind of put them in a more difficult position.
00:02:13.000District than they had been in for the past 10 years.
00:02:17.000And Representative Gosar won in a landslide.
00:02:21.000And I know that some people on their team were, you know, they were campaigning because it was a little bit more challenging this year and they just dominated.
00:02:33.000And then there was the race for Senate in Arizona, Republican nomination for the Senate.
00:02:39.000That was another very competitive race.
00:02:41.000And Blake Masters is a great candidate.
00:02:43.000He's got the Trump endorsement, he's got money behind him.
00:02:46.000But that was another one that was tricky, and he won decisively.
00:02:51.000Last night, we also were under the impression initially that Carrie Lake, who's the America First candidate for Republican for governor, that she might not win.
00:03:02.000And it's actually always tricky business with elections.
00:03:06.000We really don't even know what's going to happen.
00:03:09.000They keep increasing the amount of ballots, which they estimate remain outstanding.
00:03:16.000Perfectly, what that outcome will look like, but it seems that Kerry Lake is poised to win the Republican nomination for governor.
00:03:24.000And then at the same time, John Gibbs, all the way over to Michigan, won his primary contest for Republican nomination in his district.
00:03:34.000That was another one which was competitive.
00:03:36.000And then you had the statewide races in Missouri with Wendy Rogers, or rather, state contest, not statewide, but you had the state Senate race with Wendy Rogers and Kelly Townsend, where Wendy Rogers did very well, and she won.
00:03:53.000And Mark Fincham won the Republican nomination for Attorney General.
00:03:57.000Then, and this was one that I wasn't even really paying that close attention to.
00:04:00.000Even in Kansas, Chris Kobach, huge comeback, and he won the nomination for Attorney General there, too.
00:04:09.000Is it Fincham for Attorney General and Kobach for Attorney General?
00:05:07.000I'll save that for later, but that's the summary.
00:05:09.000We'll get into all that later tonight.
00:05:11.000We'll go into all the results and talk about what they mean.
00:05:14.000We'll interpret that and talk about the races that are not yet finished because there's a handful that we're still watching with great anticipation, very eagerly.
00:05:26.000And I'm just going to say one more thing because we're not even, we haven't even opened that up yet, but.
00:05:33.000It is extremely frustrating that these elections, for whatever reason, just seem to drag on forever now.
00:05:40.000And I've watched politics for a long time.
00:05:43.000I've never watched it as closely, obviously, as I do now.
00:05:47.000But I don't ever recall results taking this long consistently.
00:05:54.000It's not unheard of that an election would be, that an election, one election, might take longer for all the votes to be counted if it's very close.
00:06:08.000But it's like every election now, every election, no matter what, if it's a federal race, if it's a state race, if it's a, it doesn't matter.
00:06:17.000It seems like all these elections now, we don't have election day anymore.
00:08:22.000This is just apparently the new normal.
00:08:24.000And honestly, I don't know how anybody can have any confidence in elections if that's how it is.
00:08:30.000How is anybody supposed to have confidence?
00:08:32.000For example, in Washington State, the rules are I think somebody brought this up in the super chats, or maybe I saw it on Twitter, I don't remember.
00:08:40.000But they talked about how you put your ballot in an envelope, you sign the envelope, you put it in the drop box or whatever, and they're matching the signature on the envelope, not the ballot.
00:08:54.000And so, between the drop boxes and the two week voting period and the vote tabulation taking many days, and they mysteriously are adding votes, they have an unexpected number of votes they need to count, and then you've got these spurious practices at every level.
00:09:13.000How can anybody have any confidence that these elections are what they say they are, which is to say these are actual people, actual American citizens, eligible to vote, going in, voting once?
00:09:26.000For a candidate, and then their vote gets counted and they determine the winner.
00:09:30.000There's just, I don't think we can really have a high degree of confidence that these elections are legitimate.
00:09:36.000And I know I'm, you know, wow, that's a groundbreaking take.
00:09:39.000Obviously, that's the case after 2020, but the point is, it's every race now.
00:09:45.000It's not just a 2020 presidency, it's like everything is like this now.
00:11:08.000I should say that I don't want to totally put a damper on it.
00:11:10.000It's an all around, those frustrations aside about the contest that have not finished yet.
00:11:18.000Huge victory last night for America First.
00:11:21.000I don't think there's any other way to cut it.
00:11:24.000And even with what we know, if Carrie Lake winds up losing, she came very close to winning, and it's still a very resounding vote of support for America First.
00:14:46.000And I can empathize with him on some level because I've been involved in things like this.
00:14:50.000We've kind of been involved in similar things with the January 6th subpoena and all the legal trouble surrounding that, with the deplatforming, except it's everything I'm dealing with times a thousand, times a million.
00:15:05.000And so, as an example, and this is our story tonight, you probably heard about this Alex Jones is being sued by the parents of the Sandy Hook victims for $150 million in a defamation suit.
00:15:34.000But not only that, This man has been paying tens of thousands of dollars in fines, I'm sure millions in attorney's fees and legal fees, and you name it.
00:15:45.000And he hasn't even had to pay the damages yet.
00:15:47.000They won't settle because they're emboldened.
00:15:51.000You know, the whole country's against Alex Jones, and this man couldn't get a fair trial anywhere here.
00:15:57.000So these nut jobs are not going to take a settlement because now they're crusaders, now they're inquisitors.
00:16:04.000It's not about their emotional distress, it's about, you know, taking a stand or something against Alex Jones.
00:16:11.000So they're demanding $150 million because Alex Jones said that he thought Sandy Hook was fake for a couple of years.
00:16:20.000And there was a huge development in the case today where Alex Jones' lawyer, and this guy should be like disbarred.
00:16:28.000This guy should honestly be sent to jail.
00:17:07.000Every text message that Alex Jones has sent for two years, his attorney accidentally copied that and sent that to the opposing counsel, to the lawyers suing him for $150 million.
00:17:24.000And so Alex Jones takes a stand today as a witness, and the opposing counsel just beating him up.
00:18:37.000So I want to talk about that development in the case today.
00:18:41.000It's just like, that's like a nightmare that you can't wake up from.
00:18:45.000That's literally like, that is the definition of nightmare fuel.
00:18:49.000Like, you're asleep and you're in a dream and you're on the stand, and the opposing counsel says, I have all your text messages from the past two years and you're just totally screwed.
00:19:18.000When the Trump indictment was, when they talked about that in the news, there's new information from the DOJ about the potential for a criminal indictment against Trump.
00:19:30.000Opened up a grand jury investigation into Trump's involvement on January 6th.
00:19:34.000I did a whole show about it last week.
00:19:39.000And specifically, they're at war with people like me and Alex Jones and Trump and Tucker and you name it Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar and Wendy.
00:19:55.000And they've just been shooting us and shooting us and throwing grenades at us and driving bombs on us and lasers and RCXD driving under the door and exploding and claymores.
00:20:07.000And it is just brutal, savage warfare, politically, figuratively speaking.
00:20:13.000For the past year and a half, and you just got to pray for these people that are under fire, especially these people that are dealing with it on a level that you and I cannot even fathom.
00:20:22.000People like Trump, people like Alex Tucker, Paul Gosar, Marjorie.
00:20:27.000Like, you got to pray for these people because it's not fair and it's not fun.
00:20:32.000And we're going to have our opportunity, obviously, to come back in this cycle and in the next cycle, but it's been tough for the past 18 months.
00:20:40.000And for a lot of these people, they've been in the fight even longer than that.
00:21:06.000I've been dying to do a stream, but I've just been so busy.
00:21:10.000Like, I feel like Squidward Tentacles when he moved into that village.
00:21:15.000And you remember that when Squidward goes to the village where it's all squids and he gets a canned bread and he goes to the dance thing and the clarinet recital.
00:21:25.000And he's like, this is the best thing ever.
00:21:27.000And then it just kind of blends together and he's just getting more and more exhausted.
00:21:38.000Every day this week, I got to fly to Arizona this weekend.
00:21:41.000I can't really tell you why, but I got to make a trip out to Arizona this weekend.
00:21:45.000So I'm not going to be doing a show Friday.
00:21:47.000I have stuff all week this week, all week last week, all week next week.
00:21:51.000Like, I literally just have not had six hours to sit down and do a stream.
00:21:58.000Because what I'd like to do, I'd still like to do the Lauren Southern stream, the Destiny Manifesto, and I'd like to do a stream on True Social and get the Groypers on True Social.
00:22:11.000Because that is like a Twitter clone that seemingly we're not being banned from yet, and hopefully we won't be.
00:22:21.000So, I'd like to do something like that.
00:22:23.000I'd like to get some energy around True Social and build up my following there, but I just haven't had the time.
00:22:28.000So, follow me on True Social if you're on there.
00:22:30.000If you haven't already, make sure to check that out.
00:22:32.000I do have a link for that now on my channel.
00:22:35.000And maybe next week, maybe the week after that.
00:25:14.000The last time I really even was like sort of moving all of my body at the same time, except for sort of like, you know, hand motions like driving or texting.
00:25:24.000So I woke up today and I'm like, oh, why am I in pain everywhere?
00:25:29.000And I was like, oh, yeah, I was swinging a golf club for 30 minutes and now I feel like I got ran over by a truck.
00:31:28.000He is a commentator and an entertainer.
00:31:32.000And so, the subject of what he talks about, ostensibly as a journalist, is the news.
00:31:40.000And insofar as people getting shot or not shot is newsworthy, that falls within the parameters of his job, protected by the First Amendment, by the freedom of press, and the freedom of speech.
00:32:27.000We can say things about the president, we can say things about George Floyd.
00:32:32.000We can say things about the Uvalde shooting, and we can say things about Sandy Hook.
00:32:39.000And particularly, if you are a journalist, you not only have the freedom of speech and expression, but you also have the freedom of the press to cover the news and current events.
00:32:52.000So when he goes out there, you may disagree with it and say, on its merits, it's not true, it's not factual, and that's your opinion.
00:33:58.000And I'm going to get into more of the details of it with this story here.
00:34:02.000There's a big situation today, which is just horrible, where the Counsel defending Alex Jones accidentally sent a copy of his phone, of Alex's phone, to the opposing counsel, including two years of every text message that Alex Jones ever sent or received.
00:35:25.000And so there's sort of two failures there.
00:35:27.000He not only accidentally sent the whole phone, but then he also did not sort of recapture that in the days that he was allowed to do that.
00:35:36.000So then today, Alex Jones is put on the stand as a witness, and the opposing counsel surprises him with this information while he's under oath, while he's on the stand, and says, Well, I know you lied.
00:35:48.000Because, boo, boo, boo, I actually got all your text messages for two years, and you suck, and we win, and blah, blah, blah.
00:35:58.000This is a man who is just getting absolutely screwed, screwed in every way by the government, by the feds, by the DOJ, by the FBI, getting screwed by the banks, by big tech, and now getting screwed by a woman judge who you can tell just hates his guts.
00:37:27.000It says, Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has testified that the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting was 100% real.
00:37:34.000And that it was wrong to call it a hoax.
00:37:37.000The parents of a child killed in the shooting are seeking at least $150 million in a defamation trial brought against the prominent radio host.
00:37:47.000They say they have endured harassment and emotional distress because of Mr. Jones' comments about the attack.
00:37:53.000The trial will determine how much money he owes for defaming the couple.
00:37:57.000Mr. Jones is the only person testifying in his defense during the proceedings in Texas.
00:38:02.000He has portrayed the case as an attack on his free speech rights under the First Amendment.
00:38:07.000On Wednesday, the InfoWars host said he now understood that it was irresponsible of him to claim the shooting was false and that no children were killed.
00:38:16.000He said, Especially since I've met the parents, it's 100% real.
00:38:23.000In a dramatic moment in court, it was also revealed that Mr. Jones' text messages had been sent by mistake to a lawyer representing the parents.
00:38:30.000Mark Bankston, a lawyer for Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, whose six year old son Jesse died in the shooting, revealed that he had been sent an entire digital copy.
00:38:41.000Of Mr. Jones' cell phone spanning a period of two years.
00:38:46.000Mr. Bankston added that when he told the opposing legal team about the mishap, they did not take any steps to identify it as privileged or protected in any way.
00:38:56.000So the opposing counsel told the attorney, hey, you know, you accidentally sent me the whole phone.
00:39:12.000After Mr. Bankston provided Mr. Jones with a copy of texts from his device that referenced Sandy Hook, Mr. Jones had previously said under oath that there were no such messages.
00:39:22.000Mr. Jones asked, You did get my text messages?
00:39:39.000But, you know, these people are sick and they relish in personal destruction.
00:39:43.000It says, Mr. Jones then insisted he had not tried to hide any messages, saying, If I was mistaken, I was mistaken, adding that he's not a, quote, tech guy.
00:39:53.00020 children and six adults were shot dead at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, allegedly in 2012.
00:39:59.000And the years following the incident, Mr. Jones repeatedly claimed that the shooting was a ploy to push gun control and claimed that it had been staged by actors in the media.
00:40:09.000In his testimony, he also complained that he was being typecast as someone that runs around talking about Sandy Hook, makes money off Sandy Hook, is obsessed with Sandy Hook.
00:40:19.000Closing arguments in the case are expected later on Wednesday before jurors begin deliberating a verdict.
00:40:26.000So, this is the situation, and you know, in the first place, it's back to my original point the case should not be happening.
00:40:35.000The argument goes with defamation, and you need to understand this about defamation law to understand why the media is the way it is.
00:40:44.000There are supposed to be laws that protect people from malicious lies and malicious slander.
00:41:49.000There is one standard for public people and one standard for private people.
00:41:53.000And the standard for private people to prove defamation, to prove that I have illegally defamed you, if you're a private person, Is negligence.
00:42:05.000In other words, you have to prove that what I'm saying is not true, that it was harmful, and you have to prove that in the course of saying this, I was just simply neglected the truth.
00:42:17.000So even if I didn't necessarily know that it wasn't true, if I was very neglectful and if I wasn't responsible, so like Kyle Rittenhouse is a really good example.
00:42:31.000The media went out there and said all kinds of things about him.
00:42:34.000And same thing about Nicholas Sandman, the kid that faced down that Indian in D.C., banging the drum in his face, the kid from Kentucky, the Covington Catholic guys.
00:42:45.000In those cases, Kyle Rittenhouse and Nick Sandman, they're able to wage major defamation suits against the media because even though the media didn't necessarily lie per se, in the sense that they knew they were telling something that wasn't true, they were neglectful.
00:43:04.000Their responsibility to ascertain the truth, which was possible.
00:43:10.000That's the burden of proof for defamation.
00:43:12.000And I'm not a lawyer, so maybe that's not perfect, but that's generally, that's broadly what that means if you're a private person, it's a lower standard to prove defamation.
00:43:24.000You just have to prove that someone's being reckless.
00:43:27.000They're being reckless and careless, and they have a reckless disregard for the truth.
00:43:34.000They went out, even though they didn't lie in the sense that they knew that what they were saying is not true, they were reckless in what they said, and it hurt.
00:43:45.000It hurt the, you know, whoever the defendant might be.
00:44:01.000You have to prove it is a lie, and you have to prove the person knew it was a lie and was lying with the intention of hurting you, and you got to prove damages.
00:44:48.000Because you may spend tons of money and go through all the trouble, and maybe you win, and you're just out hundreds of thousands of dollars, and all you get is a symbolic $1 reward in damages, and they retract the statement.
00:45:10.000Project Veritas gets retractions all the time.
00:45:13.000Project Veritas, run by James O'Keefe, is an extremely litigious.
00:45:19.000They have a very fine selection of lawyers, and they're notorious within the conservative movement for getting retractions from mainstream media.
00:45:28.000Mainstream media will lie about James O'Keefe and Veritas, and Veritas has good lawyers, which they pay a fortune, and they bludgeon the media, and they get retractions, and they use the retractions as the basis for the next lawsuit.
00:45:43.000And they're very, and they're, they kind of, the word on the street is they're very selfish.
00:45:50.000And they don't really like to lend them out.
00:45:53.000But that's an example of an organization that has the resources to do that.
00:45:58.000An organization that brings in millions in donations is able to do that.
00:46:02.000But public figures that don't really have a discretionary fund for hundreds of thousands of dollars to get a retraction, it is decidedly something that it's a structural disadvantage for people that are in the public.
00:46:17.000And so the defamation standard for public figures is inadequate.
00:46:22.000The standard is too high, and it makes it so that public people can't really defend themselves.
00:46:26.000It makes it very difficult, and if it is, it makes it where it's difficult to prove, and it's not rewarding if you win.
00:46:33.000It's not even worth it if you win in most cases.
00:46:41.000And then on the other side of it, for private people, you get things like this where could you say that the parents of the Sandy Hook victims are really private people?
00:47:15.000That was the subject of laws and official acts of Congress and speech by the president and on and on.
00:47:23.000And so the idea that the people involved in that story are not public, well, that's just ridiculous.
00:47:31.000And it's not to say that you'd maybe not be sympathetic for them being thrust in the spotlight or something like that, but it's a public episode.
00:47:40.000There are people involved in it, and that makes them public.
00:47:43.000Now, if you talk about those people and you simply voice your opinion, well, I think they're actors.
00:47:49.000$150 million defamation suit, by the way.
00:47:52.000And so it's almost like too strong on one side and too weak on the other.
00:47:56.000Public figures have no recourse and no defense.
00:47:59.000And if they can't defend themselves, there's no reward.
00:48:03.000And private people, it seems like the sky's kind of the limit.
00:48:13.000Because you could certainly say that maybe these people have a case, but you could also say equally that Alex Jones has a First Amendment right to cover the story.
00:48:21.000I mean, what exactly is the defamation?
00:49:07.000And insofar as things can be real and can be fake, and we have a freedom of expression, We should be able to freely express what we think is real and what we think is fake.
00:49:16.000And that might offend people and that might be insensitive, but that's within our rights.
00:49:21.000And so for them to go out there and make a claim, well, they can do that, but there's a very strong First Amendment defense.
00:49:27.000For them to go out there, then, not only that, and this is where, so that's sort of established.
00:49:32.000I think everybody agrees on that here.
00:49:35.000But then they claim they want $150 million and they don't want to settle.
00:49:41.000And then you understand that this is not about defamation and it's not about the parents and it's not about emotional distress.
00:49:51.000The establishment has wanted to take down Alex Jones for as long as Alex Jones has been in the business.
00:49:59.000And everything he does, everything he says, somebody is being paid to watch it and write it down and exploit ruthlessly wherever there's an opportunity to use that against him.
00:50:09.000And you can bet, you can take that to the bank that that is the case, that he has got minders 24 7 digging through his personal information.
00:50:20.000Spying on him, watching his show, watching his social media, without a doubt.
00:50:32.000There is probably a team of people being paid by various organizations SPLC, ADL, usual suspects, and maybe ones we don't even know about, private investigators.
00:50:44.000But you know that in the country for 20 years, people have been paid to go through everything with a fine tooth comb that Alex Jones has ever said, done, written in his life.
00:50:55.000With the intention of finding any technicality, any mistake, any impropriety, and jamming that down his throat to try and stop him from doing his show.
00:51:16.000It allows him to say things that are really inconvenient for the people in power.
00:51:21.000And they can't argue with him, they can't get in the mud on his show and say this and that.
00:51:26.000They can say what they want in the media and tell people that they shouldn't like.
00:51:28.000His show, but that's the beginning and the end of it.
00:51:31.000So then they get dirty and they get personal and they go into the private stuff.
00:51:36.000And I would bet you a million dollars that now attorneys can't approach clients, but I would bet you a lot of money that something like that happened something improper, but maybe technically legal happened where Alex Jones was saying this and one of these minders was watching it like they watch everything and said, Hey, I've got an idea.
00:51:56.000Hey, boss, I think I have the idea to take down Alex Jones.
00:52:00.000How about a defamation claim for these Sandy Hook parents?
00:52:04.000And I'm sure they flew out there and said, hey, listen, we want to introduce you to somebody that's going to take on a case against Alex Jones.
00:52:50.000If your kids got murdered and then some talk show host goes on a show and says, you faked it, whatever, and you're being harassed or something, that's the claim.
00:53:01.000And then you sue that person for defamation, wouldn't you want to just get that over as quickly as possible?
00:53:09.000I think about in my family, and I had a death of a loved one in the past year.
00:53:14.000Nobody wanted in my family to like, and it wasn't anything like this, but I don't think anybody would be totally up for an all out legal war against a very famous person for millions of dollars.
00:53:26.000Like, that just doesn't even sound right.
00:53:28.000And if you've lost a loved one, I think you understand as well.
00:53:53.000Now, at the minimum, you could say that that's just bad faith.
00:53:57.000You could say, at the minimum, that this is obviously something that people that hate Alex Jones are very interested in, and I'm sure that they brought this.
00:54:07.000And you could say that the parents, in some sense, are playing into this.
00:54:11.000Because if it was really about the emotional distress, they probably just want to put it to bed and.
00:55:09.000So this has got nothing to do with the harassment.
00:55:12.000This has got nothing to do with what was said on the show.
00:55:15.000This has got nothing to do with the thing in itself.
00:55:18.000This is something that's being weaponized.
00:55:20.000It's clearly lawfare against Alex Jones and it's lawfare against his ability to use his independent platform.
00:55:27.000They're going to debank you, they're going to censor you, subpoena you, investigate you.
00:55:33.000And if they can't succeed in taking your voice off the air with every unprecedented way like that, well, then they're just going to find some BS like this and sue you for $100 million and play these kinds of games.
00:56:16.000They've always got an excuse for every way in which they have indulged in the personal destruction of Alex Jones in the past 20 years.
00:56:26.000Every tool, every weapon in their arsenal that they've used against Donald Trump or Tucker Carlson or me or anybody, there's always a really good reason why they did it at the time.
00:56:36.000Why did they ban Alex Jones from YouTube?
00:56:41.000We're just really concerned about disinformation and the fact that if you say things that might not be true, maybe people get violent about it.
00:57:09.000And everything like this, every lawsuit, every censorship and banning and deplatforming and all the rest of it, there's always some, well, we're just deeply concerned.
00:57:46.000If you're out there challenging their power and saying, down with globalism, and 9 11 was a hoax, and this and that, the Iraq war was a mistake, and illegal immigration must end, and race is essential, and everything else.
00:58:03.000They will do anything to prevent you from saying that.
00:58:22.000What's the logical conclusion of that?
00:58:25.000If they can't prevent you from saying what you're saying by debating you or persuading you or making you look dumb or writing hit pieces about you, then they're going to ban you.
00:58:34.000And if they can't, And then you build your own website after they ban you.
00:58:37.000Well, they prevent you from making money doing what you do.
00:58:41.000Okay, well, then we're going to go for lawsuits and personal destruction.
00:58:44.000What happens if a person keeps saying the things they don't like, which they're very motivated to stop people from doing, and they'll spare no expense in order to achieve that?
00:58:56.000What happens if people have been banned, been demonetized, debanked, no platform, blacklisted, personal destruction, bankruptcy, lawsuits, etc.?
00:59:19.000That's what you would call a war, is when two groups of people are fighting.
00:59:27.000And that's essentially what politics is.
00:59:28.000That's what international politics is, and sometimes domestic politics is dispute resolution through diplomacy and through other things.
00:59:36.000And then it gets a little bit more contentious.
00:59:39.000And then it gets so contentious that, well, we're going to send our guys to kill your guys, and then we're going to force you to do what we want you to do.
01:00:25.000And ever since, they're waging a war against people to prevent them from capitalizing on it.
01:00:30.000And so they're waging a war on Trump and they're waging a war on Tucker and on Alex Jones and on the base and on people like me, the base meaning constituents, not the terrorist group.
01:00:39.000They're waging a war on everybody that made that possible.
01:00:44.000And they'll stop at nothing until you submit.
01:00:47.000And there's an understanding about necessarily then what must be done here.
01:01:06.000The things that they say are not sincere.
01:01:09.000The things that they say are legitimizing.
01:01:12.000They're intended to legitimize polemical, political attacks.
01:01:19.000They're attacking you because you're representing a political threat.
01:01:23.000And when they say we're doing this because of fake news or something else, it is just that is an attempt to.
01:01:28.000Moralize and rationalize and legitimize an extremely political action.
01:01:32.000You know, I could go and kill someone I don't like and say, oh, well, I had to kill them because X, Y, and Z. That's kind of like what's happening here.
01:01:39.000And I'm using that example to say that obviously, if I killed somebody, that would be evil.
01:01:58.000It would just be an insincere, Backwards rationalization.
01:02:02.000Somebody wanted to do something wrong for a selfish interest, a naked self interest, but so they had to apply a facade to it and say, well, there's a concern here.
01:02:15.000That's what they're doing to these people.
01:02:19.000They're killing Donald Trump with lawsuits and with investigations and going into their personal lives and breaking apart their families and so on.
01:02:27.000But it's always got some kind of, well, we have to do this because he's racist or something.
01:02:43.000And so, as a consequence, what we need to understand about this battle is that submission is what they want.
01:02:51.000Some people are under the impression that our goal is to bring everybody together, or that if we just tone it down, if we just sort of become less extreme, then we'll have an easier time, or something like that.
01:03:04.000When I say what must be done, I say that, well, they're trying to attack us because it's working, because we're winning.
01:03:10.000We are reshaping and remaking society.
01:04:39.000Everything they say is trying to legitimize what they're doing, trying to kill you, protecting their power and their wealth and their status.
01:04:47.000And we have got to internalize that and understand that submission and weakness.
01:04:52.000Are not going to make things better, and it's not going to make them not want to kill us.
01:04:59.000The only way to get the society we want is to fight through it and to fight it full throated, 100% our real beliefs.
01:05:08.000And you don't always have to say them openly, but you need to understand that our right wing extreme beliefs are the true and the real ones that we want to see prevail in the society.
01:05:58.000Social ostracism, that was considered like.
01:06:01.000Comparable to the death penalty in ancient societies, ostracism is brutal for people that are well adjusted and in their normal lives.
01:06:10.000And these are things that happen to average people.
01:06:12.000If you're perceived in the society, if you're perceived in the society as even having the wrong opinions, you can have hardcore life ruination happen to you.
01:06:22.000Fired, ostracized, and other things can happen.
01:06:27.000And in other words, you become like an enemy combatant to them, you become a legitimate target, you become a soldier by having the wrong thought.
01:06:35.000It means that the only way to coexist, the only way to not fight in the society, the only way to not be constantly in this jihad, in this struggle against the current hegemonic institutions that run the country, is just absolute submission.
01:07:33.000So, everybody's really got to be in the fight because what's happening to Alex Jones, he is being killed.
01:07:39.000And it's almost like we're all being killed in that way.
01:07:42.000What's being done to him can be done to any of us.
01:07:44.000Alex Jones is a guy that stood up and did it the most successfully and the most loudly and the most articulately and in the most entertaining way.
01:10:22.000Let me help you with your umbilical cord.
01:10:24.000I think you're still attached to your mom.
01:10:25.000Like, you have to be a completely undeveloped person with no experience in the world and, like, no brain, I feel like, to not see what's going on.
01:11:27.000And like half the population is going to buy it.
01:11:29.000And that's the point is that the media, the law, the lawfare that goes on, the lawyers, the politicians, all this stuff, they're not sincere people like you and me that sort of just say what you think and whatever.
01:11:44.000In a certain sense, we all do this, but they do it with power, and that is what makes them dangerous.
01:11:49.000We all are rationalizing, we all legitimize and moralize our behaviors, but people in power do it and they have power, and that changes it.
01:12:53.000And so the point is if that's what they're bringing to the table, we've got to recognize the nature of the contest, which is to say, you know, if you want to win a football game, you've got to know the rules and you've got to know who's on what team and you've got to know.
01:13:06.000That the other team wants to win, and the other team is going to do certain things to try to win.
01:13:11.000And if you want to compete in that game, if you want to win that game, you need to know the rules of the game, and you need to know the players, and you need to know who's on your team.
01:13:22.000We're in a game right now, we're in a conflict right now, and these are the players, and these are the rules, and these are the stakes, and you're not going to be part of the solution if you don't get that.
01:13:30.000Some people are not a part of the solution because they're still clinging to.
01:13:36.000Is very naive assumptions that people are who they say they are and what they say is what they mean and they do the things they do for the reasons they say they do them.
01:13:48.000What's happening to Alex Jones right now, as I proved earlier, it's not about defamation, it is not about emotional distress.
01:13:56.000You had on both sides, you have people that are opportunistically exploiting this.
01:14:02.000Alex Jones' political enemies, I'm sure, studied this and brought this.
01:14:06.000And the parents, you know, if they were really grieving, they probably would have settled.
01:14:09.000I don't know that if your kid just got shot and killed, you would want to engage in a 10 year legal battle with someone like Alex Jones.
01:14:16.000But yet there they are, demanding their $150 million.
01:14:19.000And so you take these two together, and they can cry and they can wave the bloody shirt, so to speak.
01:14:26.000And again, I know that sounds insensitive, but it's what it is.
01:14:28.000They're going to play it up in the media, and it's become now a crusade about you're a bully and it's about disinformation.
01:15:00.000And they're engaging in this, and they're unrelenting, and they're not acting in good faith, they're not acting charitably, and they're engaging in personal destruction as a political act.
01:15:10.000And everything they do is a political act.
01:15:12.000And everything they say is legitimizing political actions with moral language.
01:16:30.000And the conflict is about things bigger than what we think they're about.
01:16:35.000And so, when you look at who's perpetrating this against Jones and who his political enemies are, these are people that don't believe in sin.
01:16:41.000These are people that, by virtue of them being Democrats or liberals or something like that, they either, some of these things or all of these things, they don't believe in God.
01:16:51.000They support abortion or they support other kinds of evil.
01:17:46.000Now, it's an oversimplification and maybe it sounds like it's exaggerated, but going through those logical conclusions, that is what they believe.
01:17:55.000Now, on the right, we have this tendency to look at the left and say, oh, bless their hearts, they're just so misguided.
01:18:00.000You know, oh, these silly blue haired people, they're just so crazy.
01:18:46.000Those are broadly the ideas, again, and you're hearing them in very general terms.
01:18:50.000Imprecise ways these days, you're hearing these vague notions about faith and family and whatever else.
01:18:56.000But deep down, it's about there's a God, there's a salvation, there's judgment, there's good and evil, our actions matter, the universe matters, meaning is objective in the universe.
01:19:07.000There are two poles, and so people are being drawn to them.
01:19:11.000That's polarization, and that's real and that's happening.
01:19:14.000And some people go out there and say, well, the problem is that there are two poles, or the problem is that people are flocking to them.
01:19:20.000No, the problem is that one of them is evil.
01:19:44.000That's what defines our existence this conflict.
01:19:47.000The problem is not the conflict, the conflict is what we are.
01:19:53.000We need to be concerned about is fighting for our side.
01:19:56.000So, in the same way that a left wing person regards us as, oh, you're a Nazi and you're a racist, it's like, okay, well, you don't even believe in good and evil.
01:22:00.000We already covered a lot of it last night.
01:22:02.000But huge, huge victory for America first last night.
01:22:07.000The primaries are being held for the 2022 midterms, and last night you had some very important ones in five states.
01:22:14.000Yesterday there were primaries in Missouri, Kansas, Michigan, Washington State, and Arizona.
01:22:22.000And we were watching a number of races across the country which had some very big significance for our movement, and some very important people in our movement were on the ballot, some important incumbents.
01:22:33.000And so last night we really ran the table in a way that was against the odds, because a lot of those races were competitive, and we won all of them.
01:22:41.000And so the results, I'll read an article about that to you right now.
01:22:44.000It says, Primary victories in Arizona and Michigan for allies of Donald Trump on Tuesday reaffirmed his continued influence over the Republican Party, as the former president has sought to cleanse the party of his critics, install loyalists in key swing state offices, and scare off potential rivals with a show of brute political force.
01:23:06.000In Arizona, Mr. Trump's choice for Senate, Blake Masters, won a crowded primary, as did his pick for Secretary of State, Mark Fincham.
01:23:14.000An election denier who has publicly acknowledged his affiliation with the far right Oath Keepers militia group.
01:23:20.000The governor's race was virtually tied early Wednesday, even as Mr. Trump's pick, Kerry Lake, was badly outspent.
01:23:27.000In a particularly symbolic victory for Mr. Trump, Rusty Bowers, the Republican Speaker of the Arizona House who gained national attention after testifying against Mr. Trump at the January 6 congressional hearings, lost his bid for state Senate.
01:23:42.000In Michigan, a House Republican who voted to impeach Mr. Trump, Representative Peter Meyer, was defeated by a former Trump admin official John Gibbs.
01:23:51.000And Mr. Trump's last minute choice for governor, the conservative commentator Tudor Dixon, who has echoed his claims of election fraud, easily won her primary.
01:24:01.000Mr. Trump and his allies have been particularly focused on the vote counting and certification process in Arizona and Michigan, seeking to oust those who stood in the way of their attempts to overturn the election.
01:24:13.000The victory of Mr. Fincham, who marched on the Capitol on January 6th, was a key sign of how the Stop the Steal movement that was formed on And it says a falsehood, but I'm not going to read that editorializing.
01:24:26.000Has morphed into a widespread campaign to try to take control of the levers of democracy ahead of the coming elections.
01:24:33.000Tuesday's primaries kicked off a final six week stretch of races that will provide the fullest picture of the GOP's priorities in 22, how tight Mr. Trump's hold remains on the base, and the extent to which his claims about the stolen election have infected the electorate.
01:24:51.000In Washington state, Mr. Trump backed challengers to two Republican House members who voted.
01:24:56.000For his impeachment, but both of those incumbents appeared to be in strong positions to advance over Mr. Trump's preferred candidates.
01:25:02.000And he's talking about Lauren Culp and Joe Kent.
01:25:07.000Many Republican strategists are eager to move beyond the primaries and this period of infighting to focus fully on defeating the Democrats this fall and to take advantage of Biden's slipping support and growing voter frustrations about inflation and the state of the economy.
01:25:22.000So, this gives a pretty good view of how people are looking at this.
01:25:29.000Trump, in particular, because a lot of the impeachment candidates or impeachment incumbents lost, in particular in Michigan, and then one of the ones that testified lost his state house race in Arizona.
01:25:46.000Although, in Washington state, not a great showing.
01:25:50.000But, nevertheless, big victories for Trump's allies like John Gibbs, Blake Masters, Paul Gosar, as well as Eric.
01:26:00.000Eric Schmidt in Missouri, who we now can assume was the Eric that Trump was referring to.
01:26:05.000And I would say that even bigger than a Trump victory, it's a victory for us.
01:26:09.000Because not all of Trump's candidates won.
01:26:12.000But we really got everything we wanted.
01:26:14.000When all is said and done, Joe Kent may not win this thing in Washington state.
01:26:18.000That's one of the ones we were watching very closely because Joe Kent, although he claimed to be America first and had the support of everybody, like everybody Teal, Trump, Bannon, Tucker, Revolver, everybody, he went against us.
01:26:43.000White identity, talking about race, too divisive.
01:26:46.000That's really the basis of what we believe in.
01:26:48.000That's what differentiates us from the establishment, is that we place a ton of importance on religion and heritage, which are the foundation of a country.
01:29:02.000Not only that, but they won in spite of overwhelming opposition.
01:29:07.000It wasn't just normal opposition from Democrats or normal opposition from the establishment, it was very vitriolic opposition because of what they represent within the party.
01:29:18.000There are a lot of people that don't like Paul Gosar.
01:30:11.000Kelly Townsend dropped out of her race to run against Wendy Rogers for that reason.
01:30:17.000She was probably going to lose anyway, but I'm sure she was recruited and put in there for that purpose to disrupt Rogers because she spoke at AFPAC, because she refused to disavow, because she's interrogating election fraud.
01:30:29.000And she lost by 10 points, Kelly Townsend.
01:30:34.000And the same goes to a lesser extent for the others.
01:30:36.000Obviously, Masters isn't as involved, and Kerry Lake, same thing.
01:30:42.000But it just goes to show that there's a very robust base in the Republican Party for America First.
01:30:49.000We were told earlier this year think about it this way.
01:30:53.000We were told earlier this year by Joe Kent, think about sort of a tale of two primaries.
01:30:59.000Paul Gosar spoke at AFPAC 3 and said he's a Christian nationalist and said he's America First and didn't back down.
01:31:07.000And he won his primary in a landslide.
01:34:40.000He'll be lucky to, even if he wins, he'll be lucky to make it to the general.
01:34:44.000His campaign's exploding because of bad, corrupt personnel like Matt Brainerd, who's a devious person, who's a sick, dishonest person, and other people throughout his campaign who are mentally unwell and evil.
01:34:57.000And it's a campaign that's not in favor of God, and they don't act like they're in favor of God.
01:35:03.000And so, all this is to say, he doesn't know what he's talking about.
01:35:08.000It's not about electability, they're evil.
01:35:11.000And it just goes to show that evil doesn't really fly in the face of a movement that's trying to defeat evil in the White House and Joe Biden.
01:35:19.000So, total victory for America first, there's almost no other way to frame it other than that.
01:35:25.000Every single one of the Republicans that we supported won by a lot, significantly.
01:37:43.000Everyone on your campaign is a socialist and a Bernie bro.
01:37:46.000And now he's going to go to the war room with his head in his hands and say, Oh, Daddy Steve Bannon, I was just, I was so fake and it was fraudulent, and Bannon's really going to have to eat shit with him.
01:37:55.000They're going to have to eat that plate of poo poo together.
01:39:48.000That means that we cost him the election.
01:39:52.000Now, you could say that if he lost by a landslide, you could say, oh, well, there are a lot of factors.
01:39:56.000But if he lost by like a few hundred votes or like a thousand votes, you could say completely credibly, without any exaggeration, that we did that.
01:40:05.000You could say that we were responsible for that.
01:40:08.000Because probably without our stickers and without.
01:40:11.000The website and without my show and everything else, and without our people going to his town halls, you could say that he probably could have won, you know, maybe a few hundred more votes.
01:40:23.000And so that will be the greatest thing that America First has done.
01:40:27.000And you look at how things have happened over time.
01:40:31.000We've been deplatformed, we've been censored, investigated, like bad things have happened.
01:40:35.000But there's really a clear upward trajectory.
01:40:39.000Never in the history of America First have we ever.
01:40:42.000So, directly contributed to the outcome of a battleground election like that.
01:40:48.000You know, a year ago, we were doing a lot of great stuff.
01:40:52.000A year ago, we were advocating for the big tech censorship bill in Florida, and we were doing Vax Watch protests, and we were, you know, we were doing all, we did AFPAC 2.
01:41:02.000And the year before that, in 2020, I was really doing my show, Stop the Steal.
01:41:58.000In 2022, the year where we've accumulated more damage than anybody else in terms of censorship, debanking, blacklisting, and so on, and we contributed directly to the outcome of one of the most watched important races in the country.
01:43:04.000Nobody, maybe people didn't understand, but I said, look, I'm taking everything that I've got from Groyperware and I'm investing it in infrastructure.
01:43:11.000And we built the foundation and we built AFPAC and we started work on the internship program.
01:43:16.000We started work on the streaming platform.
01:43:22.000And not only have we not gone away, not only have we not disappeared or, you know, suffered some kind of major catastrophe or something, but three years we've been around still.
01:44:05.000Whatever the outcome, we, and particularly if Joe Kent loses by a small margin, which it seems like that's the most likely outcome right now.
01:44:14.000Either way, this is, if you can't see the significance of this, you just have no imagination.
01:44:20.000This is the arrival of the Groypers into politics.
01:44:23.000This is the maturation of the Groypers into a real political force.
01:44:28.000And at one point, you know, we're playing Minecraft, and the next point, we're coordinating, going to college campuses, asking questions.
01:44:35.000And here we are in 2022, something that we really didn't even work that hard on, participating in an election and a known force at that, covered in the front page of the New York Times, the bane of the Joe Kent campaign's existence, and maybe ultimately cost him the election.
01:44:55.000Unprecedented, unprecedented for an online movement like this to have that impact.
01:45:00.000It's a level of impact that no movement like this has had in this century.
01:45:10.000If you think that this Joe Kent thing is cool, you have no idea what's happening behind the scenes.
01:45:15.000The stuff that you saw, that's just the stuff that we did publicly.
01:45:18.000There was a lot more going on behind the scenes that you didn't see.
01:45:21.000There were a lot of checks that were canceled.
01:45:23.000I'll just say that because of what Joe Kent had to say about AFPAC 3.
01:45:29.000And I'll say that everything that we've done in the past three years, the things that we're going to do in the next year, is going to make all that look like just a joke compared to what we're going to do in the next year.
01:45:38.000Big plans to take everything that we're doing and turn it into a real political operation because this is where the country is at.
01:45:56.000We're going to take full advantage of this coming wave and this cycle, and particularly in the cycle which will start with the announcement of Trump in 23.
01:46:06.000And it is going to create a fully fledged America First political machine.
01:46:37.000We can turn this into a real political machine.
01:46:40.000And the things like you saw in Washington State, we're going to expand on that and double down on that and deepen that and make it felt across America.
01:46:49.000It's going to be Christian nationalism, it's going to be America first.
01:46:52.000So, huge night for us in ways that a lot of people may not even understand.
01:48:24.000Because the Zoomers are young now, but they're going to go to school, and then they're going to become the next generation of the right wing movement.
01:48:32.000And, like, if you're in right wing politics, you know that that is 100% true.
01:48:40.000Look at how we did everything we intended.
01:48:43.000I did everything, and we're not even close to finish, but we are so achieving everything we set out to achieve.
01:48:54.000Like, I talk to these Zoomers all the time.
01:50:03.000Things can happen to me and it doesn't matter because it's like it's now self perpetuating.
01:50:07.000So we've got scenes all over the country.
01:50:10.000And there are little teams and little factions that we are discovering all the time that, you know, watch my show now or used to watch my show or.
01:50:17.000You know, but I've defined the right wing for this generation.
01:59:27.000I forget what they're called, but there's a name for that where there are prayers where you can legitimately pray for your enemies to be defeated.
02:01:08.000Really, Keck, if we see total radio silence from every political pundit on how Joe Kent, who had all the endorsements, lose, all of politics will revolve around the maelstrom known as Nicholas J. Fuentes.
02:02:58.000We're not just in a game with different jerseys.
02:03:00.000One side knows it is accountable to an all powerful, eternal judge with an objective moral code, the other side will commit any evil to destroy you.
02:06:00.000Like we do, like that time when she yelled at me because my followers were like saying they were like, I don't even gonna repeat it, but you know, she got mad at me because I wouldn't disavow my followers for calling her a ninja and stuff.
02:06:16.000Well, we've got history like that, or the time that I told her why I was a racist and she said she like hated Korean people or whatever.
02:06:27.000Okay, you don't have that kind of dynamic.
