Topic: Weapons Of Mass Destruction

The Hodge Twins and Jones react to Alan Dershowitz's claims that Joe Kent is an anti-Semite. They point out that Kent's wife was killed by ISIS in Syria, not Iraq, and that his opposition to the war is based on personal loss and military reality. They argue that the U.S. is being used as the "backbone" for Israeli military endeavors based on faulty intelligence.

Saddam Hussein was reportedly recruited and trained by the CIA as early as 1958 before the agency backed his rise to power in 1979 to counter Iran. During the 1990s, U.S.-led sanctions resulted in the deaths of an estimated 1.5 million Iraqis, a cost that Secretary of State Madeleine Albright famously described as "worth it." The 2003 invasion of Iraq was later justified by claims regarding mobile anthrax labs that were actually British-made equipment previously paid for by the U.S.

The broadcast plays a clip from the movie Team America: World Police featuring a confrontation between Kim Jong-il and UN inspector Hans Blix. The scene depicts the inspector threatening to write a "very angry letter" if he is not allowed to inspect the palace for weapons of mass destruction.

The current funding of the Ukraine war, projected to last until 2032, is compared to the Iraq War and the fabricated justifications used for that conflict. Critics argue that the public was misled by the "weapons of mass destruction" narrative in 2003 and is now being led into another endless quagmire without a formal vote or authorization. The lack of oversight regarding how billions of dollars are spent in Ukraine mirrors past military interventions that resulted in long-term instability.

Tucker Carlson argues that Donald Trump's arrest was made inevitable on February 16, 2016, when he challenged the bipartisan consensus on the Iraq War during a South Carolina debate. By claiming the government lied about weapons of mass destruction, Trump made "blood enemies" of the permanent Washington establishment. Carlson posits that the current prosecution is a punishment for Trump's anti-interventionist foreign policy rather than a legitimate legal matter.

The US military threat level is reportedly raised to DEFCON 2 amid escalating tensions with Russia. Former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter is introduced to provide expert analysis on the conflict in Ukraine. Ritter is noted for his historical role in exposing the lack of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq prior to the 2003 invasion.

Guest host Gerald Celente argues that if Alex Jones is guilty of defamation, then George W. Bush and Dick Cheney should be tried for mass murder regarding the Iraq War. Celente highlights the hypocrisy of the legal system, where "the bigs" commit massive crimes with impunity while "the little people" are prosecuted for their speech. He urges the audience to support InfoWars as a bastion of the First Amendment.

Host Alex Stein provides commentary on the legal persecution of Alex Jones, recalling his observations from the previous trial in Austin under Judge Gamble. Stein argues that Jones is being denied a fair trial because he is not allowed to explain the reasoning behind his past skepticism. He links the targeting of Jones to a broader effort by the "dinosaur media" to bankrupt threats to the establishment.

The New York Times is criticized for its coverage of Alex Jones, with Celente pointing out the paper's own history of "misinformation" regarding Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. He references Colin Powell's presentation at the UN as a "colon of crap" that led to over a million deaths. Celente quotes George Washington's farewell address to warn against "habitual hatred" or "habitual fondness" for foreign nations.

Former President George W. Bush recently made a verbal gaffe, condemning the "wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq" before correcting himself to say "Ukraine." Gerald Celente uses this to highlight the hypocrisy of US leaders who launched wars based on lies about weapons of mass destruction. He suggests that world leaders like Putin and Zelensky should settle their disputes in a ring rather than sending citizens to die.

President Joe Biden's rhetoric on international law is challenged by Celente, who cites the Vietnam War and the false "Gulf of Tonkin" incident as examples of U.S. lawlessness. He argues that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were built on lies, such as the claim that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction. Celente predicts another "false flag" event will be used to draw the United States deeper into the Ukraine conflict.

Colin Powell is criticized for his role in selling the Iraq War to the United Nations using a vial of fake anthrax and false intelligence regarding mobile biological labs. The 2003 invasion is described as a scheme for defense contractors to steal trillions of dollars while destabilizing the Middle East. His death from a biological agent is framed as a karmic consequence of his involvement in biological weapon misinformation.

Gerald Celente takes over the broadcast, criticizing the New York Times for its history of promoting war lies, from the Iraq War to the current COVID-19 narrative. He labels Colin Powell a "murderer" for his role in the 2003 invasion and dismisses the media's portrayal of him as a statesman. Celente argues that the mainstream press serves as "prostitutes" for the military-industrial complex.
