00:00:00.000100% the false flag is the thing that my friends and I have been talking about people that have been in the national security space it's the now it doesn't have to just be that our government or people that are interested in this outcome set it up and I think you're correct 9-11 letting it through October 7 style which is the most plausible answer for them as well.
00:00:19.900It's like just because you didn't set it up, you can be quiet and allow it to happen and get some value out of it.
00:00:26.440It sounds like that was maybe the same thing that happened at Pearl Harbor.
00:00:31.040It seems like every 30 to 50 years we go through a thing where people have a certain sense, they have a certain awareness, and there's a great way to get America to be cohesive, to unify.
00:02:09.300The perfect thing would be a nuclear false flag.
00:02:12.000Trump assassinates, gets assassinated, is blamed on Iran.
00:02:15.180something like that because it's israel's too confident the neocons are too confident the
00:02:20.320globalists are too confident it's like they know something's set up and ready that's their ace card
00:02:25.840you know they've got it and i believe it's false flag real time uncensored unstoppable

00:02:42.840Kyle Serafin was an EMT, an Air Force veteran, and a counterterrorism agent at the FBI.
00:02:49.700And he's been one of the very best sources out there.
00:02:53.380Every prediction that he has basically made or broken down has come true here, except, and even that, he was right.
00:03:03.700He said he's heard Kash Patel will be fired in the next few days.
00:03:08.620That was months ago. And then Cash Mitchell wasn't fired. But a few days later, the news reported that Trump almost fired him, just like we heard that Tulsi Gabbard was going to be fired.
00:03:19.920And then Roger Stone confirmed to me. He later told the story on air. He called, talked to Trump for an hour, explained that this is a lie.
00:03:27.720She's not running against you. You know, she's not about to resign. She's not setting you up.
00:03:32.900that isn't true. Laura Loomer is a liar. And Trump didn't fire her. But then there was so much0.97
00:03:39.800pressure, she was told to leave a month later. So our prediction hearing she was fired, oh,
00:03:46.280we hear she's fired today, was real. But it's like when somebody's on death row. And then at
00:03:51.480the last minute, there's a special injunction by a judge. And if there's a lawsuit, it doesn't
00:03:57.260happen but they love just to show how accurate we are the neocons i see it every day without looking
00:04:05.180they take a clip of me and seraphim from whenever it was three months ago or whatever it was
00:04:09.680and they go look your daily reminder jones and seraphim said that cash was going to be fired
00:04:17.280and he's like i don't know if it's accurate but it's from good sources i'm told he's going to be
00:04:22.500fired in the next few days. And we didn't say he will be fired. We said, we hear he's being fired.
00:04:30.060But I don't even obsess over that. The guy obviously is just a Hollywood wannabe
00:04:34.800and does whatever Trump tells him to do. But where I am really worried about is Todd Blanche.
00:04:42.500And I made the point last year, I said, I bet when they get a new attorney general,
00:04:49.020and we did predict he'd get rid of Bondi, I said, I bet it's Todd Blanche. People said,
00:04:52.260no way, former Democrat lawyer, Southern District of New York, Trump's bag man, the guy that writes
00:04:57.440all these letters authorizing insider trading, authorizing Trump not having to pay income taxes.
00:05:04.080I mean, it's crazy. And Blanche testified recently before Congress that he is Trump's personal
00:05:08.580lawyer. And so now we put this on screen. Trump is announcing a true social function that you
00:05:15.520can subscribe to that will give you insider information on what stocks to pick according
00:05:21.160to what decisions Trump's going to make.
00:06:21.020hey, hold my beer, Pelosi. I mean, think about that, that she made more than double in her stock
00:06:29.200picks what other top stock traders did. So everybody was way below her. Well, hold my beer.
00:06:35.360Trump family, as the largest shareholders, stands to get directly from the fees. Lawmakers
00:06:42.220like Senator Warren and Schiff demand SEC probes over corruption fears, while the company insists
00:06:50.820It's just fashion delivery of public info through Trump's past posts, like the green candles have visible swayed markets.
00:07:03.620Okay, so let's just stop there, and I'm going to call Seraphim.
00:07:07.840What's crazy about this is, oh, because shifts against it, and he's an evil Democrat, who I totally hate.
00:07:15.480You tried to put me in prison. It must be OK. Let's back it because we're we're we're we're cheerleaders for Trump.
00:07:21.720Oh, they do a deal in Tajikistan for tungsten for a couple of billion bucks.
00:07:26.400And the day after his sons are put on the board and given all this money, Trump does the U.S. government deal to buy the tungsten or the UAE and the Qataris, everybody else.
00:07:38.760They come and buy billions from their crypto company.
00:07:51.180I mean, this is the most naked crap I have ever seen.
00:07:55.720But don't worry, Todd Blanche will give them a little get-out-of-jail-free card.
00:07:59.540And I remember Kyle Serafin like six months ago saying, watch, because he was getting
00:08:07.280notices of grand jury stuff and FBI stuff, because Google tells you, hey, we've got subpoenas.
00:08:15.140And I got one. I showed him. He got one the next day. And he was like on the phone going, yeah,
00:08:19.280I bet actually they come after us. And so not only is the weaponization continuing,
00:08:25.800it'll probably just get worse on this trajectory. So we can't get any Democrats or deep staters
00:08:31.700indicted. But, you know, don't worry. Don't worry. Todd Blanche went and killed the investigation
00:08:37.860that Ed Martin was doing. Six different investigations into the CIA and DOJ running
00:08:43.540the fake lawfare against me, the show trials, smoking gun, financing it, the DOJ through grant
00:08:50.080money, all of it. And Todd Blanche literally told ABC News, well, Jones is fringe. So we're
00:08:55.180killing the investigation. So I deserve all this to be done to me. That's just great. And I didn't
00:09:00.900get mad at Trump. He will not happen a year ago. I just said, okay, well, you know, I just hope
00:09:05.280Trump doesn't keep going sideways. And now, yeah. So, Kyle, that's kind of the setup. I appreciate
00:09:10.140you, popular podcaster, Kyle Serafin's show. People can find it everywhere on X. Just search
00:09:14.920Kyle Serafin. Kyle, what do you make of Todd Blanche? What do you make of the fact that he's
00:09:21.860advancing now through a full Senate vote? Looks like he's in. What I'm criticizing now, I'm being
00:09:28.240called a leftist traitor because some of the Democrats oppose him. That means he must be good.
00:09:34.740Again, a very mindless system here where it's like tug of war with a dog. Oh, you can't have this.
00:09:40.060And so now they want it. And so now Todd Blanche is our champion. All the never Trumpers,
00:09:45.940whether they're Democrats or Republicans, whether they're Mark Levin or Todd Blanche.
00:09:51.040And what do you expect to see once Todd Blanche is, I mean, he's already been the acting AG for,
00:09:57.700I don't know how many months Pam Bondi's been gone, but I got to tell you, this is really sickening behavior, but also sickening by the minority of people, but it's still a big minority of Trump supporters that are really pissed that I'm not supporting Todd Blanche.
00:10:14.660I guess he didn't hurt me and my family bad enough killing that investigation, so I should thank him for this.
00:10:20.200there's a lot there alex so let's uh let me kind of on the bigger scale of it i'm ambivalent
00:10:29.260there are things about todd blanche that give me significant pause uh some of those include
00:10:34.260the fact that when the epstein files investigation was shut down which happened just over a year ago
00:10:39.740it was a year and a month ago almost to the day last year and so they shut it down and we're told
00:10:46.360both by Pam Bondi, who was undersworn testimony, and actually by Todd Blanche at the time,
00:10:51.380that it was his choice. It was Daniel Bongino's choice. It was Cash Patel's choice. And there
00:10:55.940was no daylight between DOJ and FBI. So they're the ones that owned it at the time and took
00:11:02.100responsibility for it. People can make that what they will. I'm cursed with a memory,
00:11:06.840probably in the same way that you are, that I remember things that maybe everyone else tends
00:11:11.400to forget because they move on to the next shiny object and all the shiny objects just pile up in
00:11:16.180the cabinet in my brain. So that's one of those things. I've also had people that have been in
00:11:20.720Todd Blanche's orbit that have been really decent. In fact, I met his senior, I think his senior
00:11:24.560legal counsel, and he was a really good man from what I could tell. He'd also suffered pretty
00:11:29.160aggressively under the hands of the state and had really had an articulate understanding of what
00:11:35.760weapons nation looked like. And when he explained it to me and some plaintiffs in an FBI lawsuit,
00:11:40.280it sounded very genuine. And if you surround yourself with genuine people, you know,
00:11:44.700that says something about you. The company you keep says a lot about you. So that's kind of a
00:11:49.640mitigating factor on the Todd Blanche story. Then I hear the stories that you've shared and the stuff
00:11:54.040that's going on with Ed Martin. I'm not personally privy to it, but I respect you as a person and I
00:11:57.800don't think you're making it up. And so that's another sort of thing that weighs in. I'll look
00:12:01.900at a couple of things that people can sort of assess from their own vantage point. Number one,
00:12:07.360Todd Blanche has basically been the attorney general for the last, let's call it five months
00:12:10.620since Pam Bondi walked out. And he may have been running things as she was on her way out the door.
00:12:21.460The second thing is, is that Todd Blanche's appointment was a political football that
00:12:27.120was being tossed around and being fought over.
00:12:30.220And it was being handled by essentially permanent Washington, which is John Cornyn and Tom Tillis.
00:12:36.940They both were like, oh, we're not going to allow his nomination to continue.
00:12:40.220We're not going to be able to do a vote on his confirmation.
00:12:42.340We're going to hold it hostage based on whether or not there's a weaponization fund.
00:12:47.180Todd Blanche has pretty clearly said that he wanted to fix weaponization.
00:12:50.820The other problem is that while he's the attorney general, they're actually doing legitimate weaponization up until the last, let's call it 48 hours.
00:12:59.800And one of the lead news stories for most of the news agencies today was that Donald Trump said that Jeanine Pirro, who I'm not a fan of, choked on a case that is pure weaponization.
00:13:10.940this is the reflecting pool whether or not it was um you know properly set up or whether it
00:13:16.140was destroyed by vandals and this was a big deal going up into january 4th i'm sorry july 4th so
00:13:21.640before they launched this whatever was a freedom 250 event it was a big question on whether or not
00:13:26.480the reflecting pool was getting a rush job and was broken because they had crappy contractors
00:13:31.100or whether somebody went in there with a bunch of his acto knives and cut it all up and the answer
00:13:35.820was is they charged a guy who was an olympian former you know he's probably a leftist and
00:13:39.780probably if I had to guess, he lives in Maryland. So you make certain choices where you live,
00:13:43.360but the guy doesn't seem to have been the person that they could prove did any damage to it.
00:13:48.560And so Donald Trump is pushing a vandal, you know, vandal narrative. The evidence from DOJ
00:13:53.920came out that it was bad contracting and a poorly applied finish to the, to the pool bottom.
00:13:58.180And Donald Trump wanted them to go after him anyway, and said vandalism is the right
00:14:01.920course of action. That's weaponized government. Weaponized government is where we've already
00:14:06.000determined what the outcome is going to be. So the government goes out there and then finds
00:14:08.980the proof to be able to justify it and if they can't get you then they do ends justify the means
00:14:13.240they decide to just run you down um and you know this as well as anybody but it's going to be a
00:14:18.880legal cost it's going to be reputational harm it's going to be the process of going through
00:14:23.260which ends up being the punishment that even if you're vindicated at the end of it you're still
00:14:26.920destroyed financially emotionally your your you know your instincts towards any sort of trust and
00:14:31.480institution are wrecked and so they tried to do weaponized work against this this olympic you know
00:14:37.920canoe or kayak or whatever he was. And that was ongoing. And Todd Blanche was the acting attorney
00:14:43.820general when that happened. So, you know, I, it's a big complicated question, but what it looks like
00:14:50.400broader to me is, is that business as usual continues on that petty nonsense continues.
00:14:56.280And even though I think Donald Trump has let down most of the people that signed up for whatever it
00:15:01.920was he was selling, and he was selling 20 promises to the American people. There's this thing called
00:15:06.120Agenda 47, which was pushed out, and it was roughly similar to what Project 2025 was by
00:15:11.480the Heritage Foundation, where they said, here's all these problems. We want to shut down the border.
00:15:15.840We want to do mass deportations. We want to get rid of the largest number of people that have ever
00:15:19.660been deported in the history of America. We want to make America affordable again by reducing
00:15:23.620inflation. We want to make America independent when it comes to energy costs. So we want to
00:15:27.940solve all these different issues. And essentially, we've gotten very few of them. What we have gotten
00:15:32.400is the trump family has gotten very rich as you pointed out through crypto we're now seeing
00:15:37.080donald trump who owns 41 of true social and trump media owns this big chunk of it and they're going
00:15:42.280to give a uh like you said the bloomberg terminal access to donald trump's market changing posts on
00:15:49.380social media that's crazy that'd be like if you gave a back channel that you said well we're going
00:15:54.460to do c-span plus where you get direct access to the floor of the house as they're making decisions
00:15:59.640and then we're also going to do c-span minus which is what the regular people get and it's
00:16:05.44020 seconds delayed so if they pass something crazy then you can make market moving changes
00:16:10.860and you have this like you know this window and let's be clear about that seconds c-span plus
00:16:16.200would be like putting microphones at every desk so you could hear the wrangling i mean that would
00:16:21.460be invaluable insider trading information for people who don't know at the battle of waterloo
00:16:27.540That's how the British Empire won against Napoleon.
00:16:31.320They sent carrier pigeons to the coast.
00:16:33.000A quick Corvette went across and told the Rothschilds that the British had won.
00:16:39.080They said, oh, the British have lost, crashed the stock market.
00:16:42.100They got full control of the British Empire on record then.
00:16:44.400That's when the Rothschilds really took over the world.
00:16:46.100But side issue, that's how incredibly valuable.
00:16:49.000And in the advertisement, I didn't just believe USA Today when I saw this two days ago.
00:16:53.400I went to True Social, and the advertisement says you'll get access to market-moving data first.
00:16:59.480They're literally saying this is the definition of insider trading.
00:17:07.280And they're like, well, you're a Democrat now for being against that.
00:17:12.780I mean, so what do you think is going on in Trump's brain?
00:17:15.140I know Bondi and now Blanche give him these letters, and judges have been striking those down, but that's an executive judicial fight, constitutional crisis.
00:17:29.200But, I mean, these letters, and then now Trump says he's just going to pardon the entire administration.
00:17:34.140This is just – we're taking all the corruption of Biden that was record level, and instead of getting rid of it, they're building on it.
00:17:40.480There's no way to look at that and not say that's what this is.
00:17:42.600right calling out corruption from any side looking at things that look corrupt regardless
00:17:47.280who the players are that's called having principle and so you're saying the same thing that i've been
00:17:50.800saying it really really upsets the people that are in the mega movement that want to believe
00:17:54.880something that's obviously not accurate and anybody who's being honest can say there was a
00:17:59.100dramatic change that took place sometime in july last year and the pivot has been we had this agenda
00:18:05.300and it basically finally died with the epstein files as they closed down the investigation i'm
00:18:10.260sure they thought that was going to be the end of that discussion and then they were going to
00:18:12.580be able to do whatever. Unfortunately, there are some pesky people in independent media that have
00:18:17.260done exactly what Daniel Bongino said that we ought to do, which is not let certain stories die.
00:18:22.080And so that story plagued them for all of last year and the tail end of it from the summer into
00:18:26.880the fall. It resulted in people leaving. But the idea that you would be able to spend money and get
00:18:32.420access to information that everybody's going to eventually get, but you get it first. I mean,
00:18:37.080that that's what corruption looks like if you're the person who's actually giving out the
00:18:40.060information. Now, let me say this differently. If Elon Musk were to say that, you know, you would
00:18:45.140get access to Twitter plus and Twitter plus means you get stuff faster than other people and you get
00:18:49.440a faster updated feed and we prioritize data to you. That's not the same thing because Elon Musk
00:18:54.640is not in government. But when the president of the United States owns a media company and the
00:18:59.180media company says, we're going to give you faster access to the president of the United States
00:19:05.040speech it'd be like if they were to leak testimony to you first um and it may only be in milliseconds
00:19:11.220but the way they're basically saying we're going to tell you we're going to tell you what happens
00:19:14.800in cabinet meetings and by the way i've got a lot of that information i never even thought to go use
00:19:19.220it financially i mean here's an example they have this this this also exists in in dc in a more um
00:19:24.520analog version they have a private club that don jr has opened that's called the executive branch
00:19:29.500And for five hundred thousand dollars, people can become members of this this club where they can rub shoulders with people who are in the executive branch of the government.
00:19:37.940So what we saw Hunter Biden and the so-called Biden crime family get involved in.
00:19:43.040Right. This is this is the claim is that they were the most corrupt and blatantly corrupt organization that ever stepped into the White House.
00:19:49.960It looks like the Trump family has basically said, yeah, they were corrupt, but they were amateurs.
00:19:55.560Let me show you how a professional does it.
00:19:57.280And so it's the difference between watching T-ball and watching a major league baseball
00:20:00.480team do it, because what they're doing is wildly inappropriate.
00:20:04.400And if you had any principles, you'd go, look, I don't want anybody to be using government
00:27:18.760Well, as you notice here on The Alex Jones Show,
00:27:20.820So Cal Serafin is a very intelligent, learned person on a wide spectrum of issues.
00:27:25.840And he keeps going back to the fact that for over 115 years or so, however long the Federal Reserve Act, 1913, so 100 plus years, we have been in this system and it just gets worse and worse and worse.
00:27:42.780And Trump was going to cut down the national debt.
00:27:44.960He was going to deal with the inflation.
00:27:52.560Israel's not going to let him out of it.
00:27:54.360I wanted to bring Harrison Smith in to comment on Todd Blanche and give his take.
00:27:58.420And then just the general corruption, the Democrat Socialists of America, really the job we have to inform the public that socialism and communism is not the answer to this crony capitalist rigged market that you can't even call free market capitalism.
00:28:13.600I mean, we've got our work cut out for us because on this trajectory, most people will
00:28:19.860have to have a universal basic income, even if you don't want to be in this system, to
00:28:25.880have the ultra-rich, above the law, international, not paying taxes, and then those of us in
00:28:30.840these different systems, a mixture of socialism and communism with a race-based divisional
00:28:36.020system, that's what the globalists describe in their white papers as the managerial system
00:28:40.360them divide and conquer the great game that we're living under and it's just going to get more
00:28:44.820dystopian not not not better and i don't say all this horrible stuff to get people down we need to
00:28:51.620address the fact that where this train is going is not a good place harrison smith i want to get
00:28:56.080your take on what kyle and i were just talking about it and get into some more solutions here
00:29:01.100and also pick kyle's brain on as we're in the 156 57th day now and uh it's it's trump's trying
00:29:09.180tell us this war might last 17, 19 years. He says the Vietnam War lasted 19. That's not true.
00:29:15.440It lasted 11, but it doesn't matter. I mean, this is bizarre. He ran on no new wars. And at least in
00:29:21.560the past, they had to sell us on a war with big lies. They tried to get the public behind it.
00:29:27.120The public woke up. It used to be 60, 70 percent were for the wars. Now you got 80 plus percent
00:29:33.020of the general public against it, 60 plus percent of Republican voters against it in every bowl.
00:29:37.900So I've never seen anything where they start a war, say it's not a war. It's super unpopular. It's a disaster. And now it's expanding, but it's not a war. But almost no one's buying the lies. And so the Republicans are going to lose in the midterms.
00:29:56.340and we're three votes away from the war powers but something tells me we're not going to ever
00:30:02.060get those votes uh to to pull trump's authority which is the constitutional thing to do i mean
00:30:08.200this is just next level and i don't have a feeling i know this historically that once you reach a
00:30:13.720point of corruption like this where the system just doesn't care only nine days from the midterms
00:30:19.600that's three months boys and girls uh once the fish starts rotting it doesn't go back so at a
00:30:27.740certain level we've got to start talking about what how do we position for a long-term collapse
00:30:34.380and then how do we politically culturally get positioned to not let that turn into pure
00:30:38.460communism so your take harrison smith and all your call seraph's take on it yeah it's all it's all
00:30:43.440deeply deeply intertwined as as you're pointing out i think the false dichotomies they're constantly
00:30:48.160being set up between capitalism and communism, which in our past, it was never capitalism versus
00:30:53.580communism. It was communism versus God and freedom and liberty. You know, we put in God,
00:30:58.460we trust on the money during the Cold War because that was our division from communism. We didn't
00:31:03.140put money on our altars. We put God on our money because that was what we were actually fighting
00:31:07.020for. But yeah, then it comes to the Iran war and you get similar false dichotomies, right? You're
00:31:12.140either for the Muslims or you're for the righteous Americans fighting this war. This is all absurd.
00:31:17.740And I think like taking the bird's eye view and zooming out a little bit is the right thing to do.
00:31:21.840I don't maybe we'll play in the first five minutes of the next hour or something.
00:31:24.840But one of the first things I did at Infowars when I started working there in 2018 was do a report about the year 1913 because it was this this turning point year.
00:31:34.640It was the Federal Reserve, the income tax, but it was also things like the Rockefeller Foundation was started.
00:31:40.180The ADL was founded. There was the first aliyah to Israel.
00:31:43.340The 17th Amendment obviously took America basically from a republic to a democracy for the democratization all really started.
00:31:49.980And also Henry Ford invented the assembly line that year.
00:31:53.300I don't think that's a coincidence because that is the year that sort of the purpose of our culture changed.
00:31:58.720And this Henry Ford idea of you're going to be a cog in the machine rather than a craftsman or a worksman or a master, you know, workman in that sort.
00:32:07.800No, you just became an ant in a colony.
00:32:09.440And so really, I mean, the good news, the silver lining of all of this is that for at least the last hundred plus years, there's been this concerted effort to destroy the West.
00:32:17.840And most people haven't even noticed. Obviously, that's frustrating. We wish people would wake up to the threat.
00:32:22.520But that's just how powerful the West is. And even now is the sort of collapse is accelerating.
00:32:27.220You go walk around. Most people have no idea. Yeah, they're maybe making a little less than they'd like to.
00:32:31.660And food's a little bit more expensive. But they're so comfortable. They're so prosperous that like they're fine.
00:32:37.320And we really need to wake up people to the fact that you're you may be fine now, but there's going to be a time when you're not fine.
00:32:42.740And now you have the resources and the time and the ability to fight back.
00:32:47.880Obviously, the result being that all of these socialists and communists are being elected.
00:32:53.560And I found a sheet out of a magazine from the 1940s.
00:32:59.080I was at an antique shop and they had this framed magazine.
00:33:02.120And what it was was an advertisement called The Contented Workman.
00:33:05.700And it was all about how the contented workman has no need to listen to the communists, the contented workman who can be sure of his job and safety and has a wife and kids and is building something.
00:33:17.680Not only will they not go to the communists, they have no reason to.
00:33:20.300They'll actually fight to preserve what they have.
00:33:22.380And so it is this sick feedback loop combination of the evils and excesses of capitalism, totally unrestrained, totally manipulated by the government, leading people to believe that we need socialism, we need communism as a as a consequence.
00:33:36.580So I put this squarely on the laps of the Republicans saying, you know, you are to blame for this.
00:33:42.000You are given an opportunity to get rid of all the H-1B visas, get rid of all of the immigrants, open up the American market to the specifically white, but American born people that have been excluded from the from their industries for the last 10 years at this point.
00:33:56.840And I've got some some stats here and then I'll pass it off to you.
00:33:59.860But I mean, the thing is, we have to recognize this is bad.
00:34:03.120That's the thing that the Republicans and Trump seem unwilling to do.
00:34:05.920they look at the stock market and go, things are great. The stock market is, I don't know what it
00:34:10.500represents. It certainly doesn't represent the prosperity or well-being of the average American.
00:34:14.360So America in the last 55 years, welfare programs have experienced a 900 percent increase. U.S.
00:34:19.880national debt has received a 10,500 percent increase. The foreign-born population is up
00:34:25.700450 percent. Illegal immigration population is up nearly 5,000 percent, at least. Planned
00:34:32.660demolition and immigration is key to it all. So, yeah, it's extremely frustrating watching this
00:34:38.500golden opportunity, maybe our last opportunity to rescue America from the fire is being absolutely
00:34:44.180squandered on this war for Iran, which just makes absolutely everything worse.
00:34:48.980Very well said. And again, we don't want to we're not going to be negative here for negative
00:34:52.560sake. We have to admit we have gangrene. And you're right. There's a normalcy bias because
00:34:59.600This has happened so slowly, but on average, people are waking up a lot more and getting
00:35:04.060upset, not disturbing around the world.
00:35:06.160There is a global awakening, so we have that on our side, but you can see it's all accelerating.
00:35:11.540During any system like this, at the end, it goes a lot quicker.
00:35:15.980Kyle, do you agree with that statement?
00:35:17.300And then B, how far into this do you think we are?
00:37:15.020And by the way, Harrison, all of the stuff you said was very insightful.
00:37:17.740I thought I think the the the number of things that happened during that year that converge are kind of brilliant.
00:37:23.060And then the way that it's grown out, it doesn't start immediately.
00:37:26.460It's a snowball. So it's a small ball. And then eventually you get to the part where, you know, like you go titanic leaps right now.
00:37:32.900Let's just take a quick pause and breathe and think we have Donald Trump, who ostensibly is a Republican in the White House.
00:37:39.640We have Mike Johnson, who's the speaker of the House, which means the Republicans have the House of Representatives.
00:37:44.120Right. We have Thune as the majority leader in the Senate, which means Republicans have both houses of Congress and they have ostensibly a majority in the Supreme Court.
00:37:55.300So the entire government leans towards favorability towards the agenda that maybe constitutional conservatives would consider to be interesting.
00:38:02.880And instead of saying, these are the great victories we've won, we had this monumental opportunity.
00:38:09.920We had a 2024 election, which was a bleed off valve for potential violence because people were getting towards that mentality of 1776.
00:38:26.360And what are they saying less than two years into it?
00:38:29.540you have to be scared because the communists are going to take over the communists previously we
00:38:35.540were talking about socialism and uh you know maybe sort of like broadly speaking like people
00:38:39.120who had marxist ideology right marxist ideology not avowed communist capital c and they are now
00:38:45.580trotting out a boogeyman of communism under their own watch not saying hey we did this and this is
00:38:51.380how we've de-weaponized the government so that even if the wrong people get voted in we fix these
00:38:55.360structural problems and here's how we've gone out there and address what we saw as weaponized
00:38:58.900government. And these are the people that were wrong, that we've made right and so on. They're
00:39:02.180not doing that. They're trotting out a boogeyman saying, yeah, we suck. And yeah, we're deeply
00:39:07.100involved in corruption and we're selling easy access to insiders if people want to do it.
00:39:11.940And we're profiteering off what's going on. And we've started a new war that we promised wouldn't
00:39:15.620happen. And by the way, Ukraine is still at war, which Donald Trump said he was going to fix day
00:39:20.020one. And even if you take that as hyperbole, theoretically, there was going to be some
00:39:23.580conditions that were going to stop that conflict. And that's not. We've just expanded and we have
00:39:28.080another conflict now in the middle east and they're they're starting to touch to the point
00:39:31.340where ukrainians are now getting involved in um you know some of the stuff that's happening in
00:39:35.400the strait and they're and they're going after shipping lanes so when you get deep into the
00:39:40.620point where your conflicts have now not just uh they've propagated and they are beginning to
00:39:44.820interact with each other and the only the only redeeming quality that the republicans are going
00:39:49.880to trot out is that we're not communists that that's what i heard that's absolutely the speeding
00:39:56.820enormous snowball making huge revolutions because the weight of it is now behind it
00:40:01.320so you said what is the solution and nobody wants to be a doomsayer the biggest crime right now to
00:40:07.520the people on the political right is recognizing the situation as it sits too early this is a crime
00:40:12.960that alex jones is guilty of forever it's like god forbid you see what's coming at you if you say it
00:40:18.440too soon then you're just a pessimist and you're a doomer and you're interested in and there's no
00:40:23.860joy. And if you say it when it's actually smashing into you and if you say it when it's
00:40:28.280smashing into you and it's too late, then you're a genius. Apparently, yeah, apparently when there's
00:40:34.120no solution. And so for me, and this is just my personal thing, this is what I hammer on on the
00:40:39.040morning podcast because I don't actually think that we can vote our way out of this thing. I
00:40:42.300think we tried to vote our way out of it. I think we tried to vote our way out of it in 2024. And
00:40:46.300the result is where we're at today. So I see this very strange moment. I see the United States and
00:40:52.100the people of the United States in 2024 and then going on to today that are still paying attention,
00:40:56.620they're re-experiencing a moment that we were in in the late 1990s. In the late 1990s, we had yet
00:41:01.820to hit $10 trillion in national debt, and that was considered to be a really big problem. And so
00:41:07.300whether you look at the art, and by that I mean the music, the movies, the literature that was
00:41:13.380being written, or even the pop culture, sort of the fantasy novels that were being written,
00:41:17.060there was this instinct that we're going to probably have to bleed our way out of this.
00:41:20.820And that's not me advocating for violence. This is me noticing that there was a moment in the late 1990s where the American populace was fed up with corruption.
00:41:28.420They saw that there basically were two wings to the same bat. The discussion of uniparty was very prevalent.
00:41:33.860And so we had books like Term Limits, which were written by Vince Flynn, which was about killing off people and trying to get the power back in.
00:41:40.200Which, by the way, was a very strong point that Donald Trump was making in 1997.
00:41:45.780you know the same sort of attitude that we had in america was being was being relived in 2024
00:41:52.040there's other things the music and the way that music was looking for god a lot of pop music if
00:41:58.700you go back and listen i've been doing almost exclusively a 90s rock in my my workout list
00:42:03.520right now because it just feels comforting to me and i listened to the the art and what they
00:42:07.500were talking about was a like what are we doing here and how are we here and should have we turned
00:42:12.040away from God. And so there was this moment that happened 30 years ago. And the only thing that
00:42:17.780took us away from that moment, which could have ended up either violent or maybe even a peaceful
00:42:22.600way of overturning what the system looked like, was we had 9-11. And 9-11 was a double down on
00:42:28.680quadrupling the debt and starting an endless war and saying that we're going to pitch you this
00:42:34.120thing, we're going to sell you on it. And it was increasing of the surveillance state. And I think
00:42:38.360Americans got back to that point in 2024 to the point where you have now theoretically our guy,
00:42:43.700the one that we outsource the revolution to. There's not going to be violence. There's going
00:42:46.740to be Donald Trump and he's going to bring a chainsaw to government. And Elon Musk is going
00:42:50.460to come in there and use his brilliance to be able to streamline all the problems. And what we got
00:42:54.580now is the communists are at the door is what they're telling us. Not we've rolled it back
00:42:59.160and they're generations away from taking over. Like we're one election away from seeing communism
00:43:03.260in America. That that's actually a tacit admission of failure. If you ask me, that's what it looks
00:43:08.380like. And so we're back to the idea that you can pitch AI and you can pitch surveillance. And that's
00:43:14.520what this administration has kind of done. They've partnered up with different AI companies and
00:43:18.780you've got flock cameras propagating all across the country and Americans from the left and the
00:43:23.600right are both going, you know what? Flock you, man. We're not interested in doing that. In fact,
00:43:28.060we might cut them down. We might go do tens of thousands of dollars worth of property damage.
00:43:32.280And you're finding people from the conservative right that are leaning towards maybe extrajudicial solutions to things because it looks like our system is not actually working for them.
00:43:41.440I was about to interrupt you and bring up Flock.
00:43:44.380I see it as healthy that people are waking up and unifying with civil disobedience.
00:43:50.320But I realize that's just a small piece of it with all these other systems, the assistance, the phones, the cars with the kill switches, the smart TVs.
00:44:28.260But how do we make sure it doesn't just go off half cocked and it fails?
00:44:33.320But then going back to your previous point, I want you to elaborate on this and then Harrison to comment on it.
00:44:37.340It's not just saying, oh, we'll protect you from the communists at the big universities and big foundations and big money have been financing as the threat.
00:44:44.700And, you know, allowing the Democrats to run their election fraud in the blue cities, building up their Frankenstein monster.
00:44:50.460Trump said, oh, look at look at Morocco, look at Spanish held Morocco, look at the Muslims.
00:44:57.160You better vote for us in the midterms or that'll happen here.
00:45:00.380And then meanwhile, the State Department recognized it a few months ago, gave them $40 million in the law, said in the law, this is for you.
00:45:13.980Israel said we're supporting them doing this uprising.
00:45:16.820So these people were encouraged, brought there by the border police, let through as a threat to Spain.
00:45:22.260On the other side, you have the communists saying, come here, but they didn't want 80,000 in a day.
00:45:28.440They want it to be slow so they can use the foreigners, the Muslims, as an excuse for a police state and a detonator they can activate to riot whenever they want.
00:45:37.500So Israel, the U.S., used their own system against them.
00:45:41.700And now Trump turns around while his own State Department is behind this to a great extent or exacerbating this problem and says, vote for us.
00:47:41.120It seems like every 30 to 50 years we go through a thing where people have a certain sense, they have a certain awareness, and there's a great way to get America to be cohesive, to unify, and it's externalizing a threat.
00:47:55.240Whatever that threat is, it's irrelevant what it is.
