3 chapters across the catalog

Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones discuss Jones's July 2001 prediction of a terror attack involving airplanes hitting the World Trade Center. They argue that the FBI and DOJ have targeted Jones for "total personal destruction" because he exposed the 9/11 narrative before it happened. Jones reveals that InfoWars has been under a "Type 3 FBI assessment" since 2013, allowing for public surveillance and the use of undercover operatives.

Kyle Serafin explains the "Type 3 Assessment" designation in FBI documents, which is the lowest level of investigation and often used to gather human intelligence (HUMINT). He notes that the host was labeled as a "Racially Motivated Violent Extremist" (RMVE), a term also applied to traditional Catholics. Serafin highlights how the FBI uses these designations to bypass First Amendment protections for journalists.

The FBI's "Type 3" assessment allows for the recruitment of informants and physical surveillance without a criminal record, a tool allegedly used against InfoWars since 2013. This classification is described as a direct attack on the First Amendment and the freedom of the press. The segment notes that James Comey updated the FBI's manual to facilitate these assessments shortly after taking office.
