00:00:07.000You gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government!
00:00:49.000We have a very special show for you today, speaking of the government.
00:00:53.000I think I've always said out of big business and big government, big business is the lesser of two evils, but nothing is more evil than when the two collide and we have big business, big business collusion with big government, and that's when you see utter chaos.
00:01:09.000That's why we had the mortgage bundling crisis, and it's basically communism.
00:01:15.000Fascism, the dictionary definition, is an economic model where the government decides who is going to run energy, who's going to run education, who's going to run, and everyone is allotted to a different department.
00:01:26.000That's what we're having now, where the government is deciding who gets to platform what.
00:01:32.000And the corporations are listening and saying, no problem, let's de-platform Alex Jones.
00:03:43.000So the black guys at the top, LZ Granderson.
00:03:47.000I don't like what Alex Jones says, but I like that I can call him an idiot.
00:03:52.000I would love to see LZ and Alex Jones sit down and just start reciting various countries, populations, various major events throughout history, a bunch of skill testing, math puzzles.
00:04:07.000Where do you get this confidence that Alex Jones is an idiot?
00:04:11.000But bigger picture, yes, I do like that you can call him an idiot.
00:05:18.000And she says one of the craziest things I've ever read.
00:05:21.000Now, this woman is from Pakistan, and she likes to do talks about how horrible America is, and how drone strikes are hurting Pakistan, and our horrible foreign policy is hard on Pakistani women.
00:05:36.000You know who's hard on Pakistani women?
00:07:42.000Well, they're also hitting like WebChimp and WebSprout and just private companies we had to like do things online.
00:07:50.000Next, they're going to tell me I can't have electricity.
00:07:52.000They're going to break in on my phone lines, take my power off.
00:07:55.000Maybe they'll have the Austin Power Company say we're deplatforming you.
00:07:59.000The Democrats admit there's a big document out that Reason got where Democrat senators are now calling for all conservatives to be deplatformed ahead of the election.
00:08:11.000Senate Democrats are circulating plans for government takeover of the internet.
00:08:15.000Dem Senator demands more censorship of conservative media, and they're saying we want everyone shut down.
00:08:22.000Do a document cam shot of my crew can do it.
00:08:24.000We've got Senator coming out and saying that Chris Murphy Infowars is the tip of a giant iceberg of hate and lies that uses sites like Facebook and YouTube to tear our nation apart.
00:08:38.000These companies must do more than take down websites.
00:08:42.000The survival of our democracy depends on it.
00:08:44.000So killing freedom of speech is essential to America.
00:08:49.000So I can't respond while they defame me and say all these things on TV I haven't said, Gavin.
00:08:55.000Well, I think they're right in the sense that you are the tip of the iceberg.
00:08:58.000And what I find fascinating about this, take Alex Jones out of it.
00:09:03.000How does Jack Dempsey, well, Twitter, you're not off yet, but Zuckerberg and Susan Wanchiki and Daniel Eck, Tim Cook, all these CEOs, did they have a conference call?
00:09:15.000They clearly coordinated with the very same press release that YouTube first put out that I was Islamophobic, transphobic, and that I beat up a kid.
00:10:09.000But if anybody's seen D'Souza's new very historic film, Death of the Nation, the Nazis cut off people's economic activity first.
00:10:17.000And they're doing it, and they're saying, they're saying, all these Democrats in their own memos, that Jones is first, and then it's everybody.
00:10:25.000So D-Day's here, two and a half months out from the election, and Trump needs to act.
00:10:34.000This is, as Congressman Matt Gates has said, a donation in kind that now we learn over 100 members of Congress were shadow banned and Republican candidates can't post articles, but Democrats can.
00:10:48.000This is true election meddling, Gavin.
00:11:30.000My lawyers have asked me not to get into this yet, but let me tell you, dude, the stuff they're doing, they have three New York Times writers, two BuzzFeed people living in Austin stalking me.
00:11:40.000They are literally calling all our banks and threatening them, other media outlets and sending them notices of the FBI if I'm not taken offline.
00:11:49.000So they are preparing to put me in the ghetto ahead of the concentration camp.
00:13:57.000And these people, I'll be sitting there eating a steak with my wife and some guy will walk over another waiter and go, I'm quitting tonight because of you, F you, and like spill a drink on my steak.
00:16:35.000And I would also add that this mob mentality that they should attack conservatives everywhere they go, this goes beyond, this is now a cultural embracing of Stalinism.
00:16:48.000We have the embrace of deplatforming, shutting people down, putting them in gulags, putting them in reservations, putting them in these ghettos.
00:16:56.000And then in the New York Times, like Chomps the Bit, there's a better way to ban Alex Jones is one article.
00:17:02.000I mean, it's, you know, Democrat senators, now let's ban all of the disease.
00:17:07.000Let's not let Republican candidates talk.
00:17:10.000I mean, they're the clear and present danger.
00:17:15.000Well, I think it's having a reversed effect with you, though.
00:17:18.000Your app is now number four on the entire internet because they've basically said the only way you can get to Alex Jones now is if you pay for his app.
00:17:48.000So all I've learned, like when I'm number one, that means I'm about to get shut down.
00:17:52.000Like you think like a race car driver or a boxer, like they're number one.
00:17:55.000So they, no, when you're number one in the socialist system, you get thrown over the boat or out the airplane.
00:18:01.000And so, yeah, we've got the highest ratings we ever had at Infowars.com and newswars.com, but it's kind of like a car blowing up full of gasoline.
00:18:12.000Once the fire burns out, it's a charred hole.
00:18:15.000But I'm not, literally, I'm not worried about me because I'm exhausted and sometimes want to quit.
00:18:19.000I would have retired years ago if they weren't trying to shut me down.
00:19:35.000I said, if Alex Jones did a video and it only got 80,000, he would have to call an emergency meeting and say, guys, what the hell happened?
00:20:10.000While they bitch that Trump criticizes them when they lie about him, they say him standing up to them is censorship and that he's a Nazi and he's a fascist when they're this engine of not just shutting me off.
00:20:46.000Well, you're not exactly impressing the American public, and I'm talking to them, when they start censoring people and shutting down platforms.
00:20:54.000Do they think that that's going to please the American?
00:20:57.000They're making themselves into the enemy.
00:21:00.000I mean, they say we're not the enemy of the people.
00:21:02.000And then they start shutting people down and trying to control what they watch.
00:21:06.000You're not doing a very good job of portraying yourself as not the enemy of the American people.
00:21:11.000Everyone, like you go on a road trip, go to south of the Mason-Dixon line, anywhere near the Midwest.
00:22:03.000If we win, which I think we will if it's a real election, what do they do finally as the economy comes back and all these peace deals happen and oxygen comes back and the flowers are prettier?
00:22:13.000What do they do, Gavin McGinnis, at CRTV at hashtag G-O-M-L?
00:22:18.000What do they do when we win this next fight?
00:24:00.000And I found out that in November 2020, she gets out and she's going to find out that I'm married and I have kids.
00:24:05.000That's the same kind of like looming threat.
00:24:08.000Like I don't think, I'm not sure I'm going to be in the country when he wins because we've already seen how crazy they went the first time.
00:24:26.000You mean the crosshairs, but what about the poll showing double black and Hispanic supporters?
00:24:31.000We had those rallies with your Proud Boys and the prayer group out there.
00:24:34.000And I looked at the video and all these raw feeds we covered that they later banned off YouTube and Facebook the next day that made him so upset.
00:24:41.000And I was like, my God, that's not just like a few token black people.
00:25:00.000There's a big class element here where you have these sons of academics who have been spoon-fed Marxism since the day they were born by their professor dads up against a lot of blue-collar guys.
00:25:12.000And a lot of blue-collar guys are noticing that they have more money now, thanks to Trump.
00:25:21.000And I think black guys are recognizing that liberals always saw them as pets and they would get slapped on the wrist like in California when black voters said no to Prop 8 and didn't support gay marriage.
00:25:36.000And they're starting to think these other guys, these conservatives, they never talk about my race.
00:25:41.000And they just accept that if you do the job well, then you get paid.
00:25:45.000And I talk to a lot of trade guys and they say, dude, I'm telling you, when we're working out there, when we're on the railroad tracks, when we're talking with the other guys in our trade union, a lot of black guys are asking me about Trump and asking me what's Going on.
00:26:01.000You feel this groundswell of blacks and Hispanics, and that drives the Dems nuts because that's their linchpin.
00:26:14.000It's because they know we're projecting the truth.
00:26:18.000Most of the time, we're just showing raw feeds of things, and they are so pissed.
00:26:23.000And so I don't think we've won the battle yet, but I think we could win the battle and win the war, Gab, and we continue.
00:26:30.000But my God, when you see Democrat congressmen, like I just told you, on Infowars.com saying in memos, we're going to ban everything, including Fox News.
00:26:41.000And then I tune into Fox News on, you know, America's Newsroom.
00:27:40.000And every time you say something that shocks me, I look it up and I realize that you're saying a true fact, but you're just putting it in a colorful way.
00:27:48.000The frogs are not literally going gay, but the estrogen in the water supply is affecting frogs' gender, and they can change their gender at a young age, and they tend to go over to female.
00:27:58.000That's just one example of a quote that gets taken out of context that is totally and utterly true.
00:28:04.000And even if it wasn't true, we're allowed to have shows.
00:28:09.000Well, I was about to say, let me ask you this.
00:28:11.000I was reading a Berkeley study that went for headlines and said frogs are gay six years ago.
00:28:16.000It's been on NPR everywhere before me.
00:28:19.000So I should have said it's making them transgender, but whatever.
00:29:18.000And they go, I think it's wrong to use humor to sneak in your Nazi agenda.
00:29:24.000And you go, that's not the case at all.
00:29:26.000And you, these comedians, they've hamstrung themselves where they can only, they can't make jokes about race or religion or any, they have all these rules.
00:29:34.000So they have one group left they can target, children.
00:29:38.000So you watch SNL, you listen to a comedian, you look at his Twitter feed and it's just raping kid jokes, raping kid jokes again and again.
00:34:38.000And it's not about me because, I mean, let me tell you, obviously doing this, attacking me as the devil incarnate is going to make me bigger.
00:34:45.000I just don't want them to be successful to take everybody else out.
00:34:48.000But Infowars.com, newswars.com, what we're doing is changing the world.
00:34:52.000And Gavin, I appreciate you bucking the system that most mainline conservatives won't do and to talk to the evil one himself.
00:35:00.000So you've engaged in some very serious Satanism here today talking to Beelzebub.
