Like, you've worked for that guy for three years after that point. Your identity is based on pretending he's the tip of the spear. What's your criticism of that if you're so mad that you gotta resort to gay bashing slurs to try to attack Ben? Like, it's nonsense.

So it seems like Alex is really just making this up and then pointing to a vague source that he calls the WikiLeaks. This is basically what he does with every source that he cites, because he knows that the audience is never going to check or hold him accountable on any of this. The hard part of his job, or the job that he pretends to have, which is a rogue truth-telling investigative journalist, the hard part is finding the truth and demonstrating it. with sources. In a genius move, Alex has eliminated this step of the process. And as long as he can confidently point at what appears to be a source, enough people are tricked into thinking that he's proved something and he can keep the CMOS business open. That's the whole game here.

Why would you still care about Joe Rogan after he gets a $100 million contract? He's been purchased.

So you can see again there, as you even pointed out, that Alex is continuing to report that there are a ton of articles about this in a bunch of outlets, but there's only this one that he points out. And he does that because he's a liar. He does this all the time. It's how you create this appearance of this broad thing when it's just, I'm mad about this headline and I'm fucking lazy and I'm gonna stick on this.

Incidentally, Tucker has a habit of lying by omission to his audience. He was caught in a particularly grotesque instance of this after he interviewed Ye, who was presented as quote, not crazy and quote, worth listening to. Unfortunately, someone leaked footage that Tucker shot but edited out of the released interview where Ye said a bunch of anti-Semitic shit, accused Louis Vuitton of murder, and rambled about how there were children who'd been replaced by actors in his house. Tucker lied by omission to his audience because he wanted to. It was profitable to do that interview, and he knew that he could edit the interview just enough so it would advance Tucker's interests that aligned with what Ye was saying at the time.

And, you know, there are people on social media influencers on both sides, and we're learning more about it now, who took money in order to endorse certain people or ideas. That's corrupt. I mean, look, I take advertising. I think you do, too. It's okay to say, I'm being paid to promote this product. And by the way, I like this product or whatever you say, but it's very clear you're being paid to promote something. It secretly promoting things for money is, you know, maybe you make, you know, a decent living doing that. But over time, it devalues your currency and makes people not believe you, not trust you.

Is he lying by omission by not discussing... This show is brought to you by 1789 Capital on every show.

You know, because this is like a listening session PowerPoint presentation that this person gave. Dubious information. And it's over a year old. Alex is reporting that as a new study from the University of South Carolina.

He doesn't because he wants money. Right. He can't. Yes. He could if he was not him. Yes. Because he's him, he can't. If he wasn't maniacally driven to make tons and tons of money and all that shit, then, yeah, he could easily go underground the way that other folks in his legacy have.

What Alex just did in that clip would get him fired from any legitimate news outlet. He's played that clip of Gates before and he has every reason to know that he's taking that entirely out of context. He's playing the clip to imply that Gates was bragging about shooting kids up with mystery vaccines but it's just edited to sound that way. We've talked about this in the past on an episode but Gates was advocating for more testing around GMO crops, something that Alex is supposed to support. He's taken that clip that he should agree with and selectively edited it so it appears to say something Gates didn't say just so he can disagree with him and lie about Gates' position.

None of it works anymore because people know they're a pack of globalist liars.

It's a sad state of affairs, but there aren't really any consequences for Alex reporting whatever comes across his Twitter feed as if it's serious verified news. The only sin that he can really possibly commit is not giving the audience exactly what they want. And that is the sort of cage that he's trapped in. He can lie and quote, like, just whatever comes across the Twitter feed, put no effort into anything and just this is, but that's all you can do.

So this is a lie, and Alex knows it's a lie. Anyone listening to this show should know that Alex is intentionally lying, because just before this, he played some of that live press conference from the police, which included this. The Secret Service agent that was on the course did a fantastic job. What they do is they have an agent that jumps one hole ahead of time to where the president was at And he was able to spot this rifle barrel sticking out of the fence and immediately engage that individual At which time the individual took off Alex has a vested interest in creating the narrative that the Secret Service didn't do anything to stop this assassination attempt, and that it was just a loyal Trump fan bystander who caused a response to happen.

Everything Alex just said in that clip. Is made up. Everything. He's making up quotes, attributing them to different people, lying about finding this interview with Jefferson where he says all this stuff, and he's doing all of it because it doesn't matter. The truth or falsity of what he's saying has no relationship to the feeling that he's trying to convey to the audience, and the feeling is what's important.

We know you're not media. You're propagandists.

Also, I noticed that a large amount of the B-roll and little clips like this don't come from their actual full source, which is to say that Greg didn't pull this from an Israeli TV show. This is one of the clips that's frequently on YouTube and videos argue that Israel did 9-11, and Greg is just kind of cribbing from those, or more likely Alex's documentary Fabled Enemies. A lot of this footage is just repackaged from Alex's old documentaries.

And it was lie after lie after lie. I mean, folks, it wasn't just twisting or spinning. He's never been this bad. And he sounded inebriated, I will tell you that. He sounded real weird. He sounded real arrogant, real assured, euphoric. He was gibbering at times.

Also, Alex is lying. The white respondents had a slightly warmer feeling towards white people. than the other groups. He's just making up that 10% thing because it fits more nicely with the racist way he's trying to exploit the optics of this graph.

So you can hear what's going on there, and it's that Alex is trying to pretend to be reading an article, but he got lost while he was making up details and injecting his own story into the article. Alex is too caught up in massaging this story to fit his narrative that he's unable to convincingly pretend to be using a primary source. Because he's just riffing this, Alex has ended up fabricating a quote from this judge, which should be a bigger no-no for someone who's obsessed with truth.

But I want to highlight something, which is that Alex is lying, and he has to know he's lying. Here is him reading that headline from inside the clip we just played. Okay. 80% of Americans test positive for chemical-founded Cheerios. Quaker Oats that may cause infertility, delayed puberty study, and bend your gender. This is from the New York Post, and he just adds the gender bending thing at the end. That's not in the headline, but because Alex wants to make this a transphobic narrative, he just adds those words in to make it fit more nicely for him. Nothing in the article's text itself justifies this addition to the headline, so the only reason Alex would do this is because he needs this source to say one thing for his narrative when it actually doesn't. What I'm saying is that Alex is a conscious, knowing liar.

Alex is making shit up to serve his purposes. There's never been a person who is more fortunate to have an uncurious audience than Alex.

But it's interesting to go back in time, because we can really see the way that Alex's MO has honestly never changed. It's just that technology has. In the present day, so much of his coverage is just skimming memes and Twitter posts and pretending that qualifies as a valid source, but in the past it was no different. He was just using idiotic blog posts as the same thing he was skimming. This is his workflow.

He completely fucked up reading the act here. He says that you can get out of prison if you go to a forest labor camp, but actually this says the opposite. Quote, "When a person is convicted of terrorism under this section, the court shall order that person to be confined for a minimum of 25 years without the possibility of parole, release to post-prison supervision, release on work release, or any form of temporary leave or employment at a forest or work camp." The Forrester work camp stuff is only in this bill as an example of a thing that you would be prohibited from being sent to if you're convicted of terrorism under this. Yeah. I would normally say that this is a case of Alex being lazy, but as he's reading that passage, you can hear him pause and add additional words so it fits his narrative. Listen to this. The court shall order that the person be confined for a minimum of 25 years without possibility of parole and only to be released on work release. To a forest or work camp. So you get 25 years if you agree to the forest work camp. He paused and added, and only to be released in there, because he needs those words to make the narrative work. He's intentionally lying to the audience to scare them about this bullshit, and it's a bill that didn't pass already by this point, and he's just making shit up about it.

The court absolutely didn't say anything close to this, and the only explanation possible here is that Alex didn't read a single thing about this ruling, or he's just lying to it willingly to the audience. Alex is also either wrong or lying about this ruling applying broadly across the United States. It absolutely does not. It's only really relevant in Louisiana. It's a ruling that could be binding upon lower courts within the Fifth Circuit, which would then include Texas and Mississippi, but it has no control outside of that region. Unless the matter is taken up by the Supreme Court, It exists as a case that could be persuasive to other courts, but that alone doesn't make it the law. Right. In less than 20 seconds, Alex just told the audience two things that were either complete lies or things that he got entirely wrong. He's a very bad source of information.

Ben Smith's more than a liar. Get him! What do you mean more than a liar? He's a complete fraud.

So two critical points here. The first is that Alex is reading from the Wikipedia page for The Economist. Oh, my God. Second, he just completely made up the line, and it's still owned by the Rothschild family. I knew he made that up. That is not the same thing. I knew he made that up. I knew he made that up. I could feel it in my bones that he just added that. I suspect what happened here is that Alex got a little cocky, and he tried to prove one of his false talking points. Terrible idea. As he read through this wiki page, he started to realize that he's wrong, and even just consulting a source like Wikipedia would call into serious question his knowledge of the subject. Thus, he just injects his own claim into the source, presenting it and pretending that it's the source talking instead of it just being his own desperate ass trying to look like he's right.

You know, does it matter to Tucker Carlson? No, I don't think Tucker Carlson gives a shit. Tucker Carlson had on a guy who claims to have done crack with Obama and had gay sex with him in 1999. These are claims that were discredited like 15 years ago. Tucker Carlson doesn't care.

That's why he had to make up the part about the document saying that we need to use race-specific bioweapons against other countries, because they're too sophisticated. Just a little trick here that you can almost always rely on. When Alex is reading something and then says it goes on to say, whatever he says next is completely made up. What's happening is that he's realized that he can't use a source the way he needs to in order to make his narrative work, so he's having to improvise and just make up bullshit. That is 100%.

Just like he's never read any of these other documents he covers because he doesn't need to. The audience doesn't read them. They just want him to tell them that this thing proves their fears.

It's important to recognize that when he says that, it's just because he's not ready to take responsibility for the things that he said. He never meant this as a joke. It was just convenient for him to say he was joking to get out of an indefensible situation that he was in at that point.

Alex consistently uses these outlets that are constantly wrong. And the only explanation for that is that he likes stuff that's constantly wrong. It's all just, um... There's no... Concern for truth preservation.

But for you to mislead the audience and say Ronald Reagan intended to put people into concentrations camps is an outrage.

I hate Ann Coulter as much as the next guy, but Alex is absolutely lying about how that interview went down. He's creating a myth of how the interview went, which will replace the reality that she was making fun of Alex about how he sounded like a crazy LaRouche follower and that she didn't say that she never read the Patriot Act. That's not what she said.

The point more broadly is that the picture Alex is painting is just as misleading as the ones that they're accusing Fox of painting. And Alex himself is guilty of way more egregious levels of editing clips and presenting things devoid of context.

Alex is making all that shit up, except for that your body can't digest parts of bugs.

He lies about this stuff because if he didn't, it would be too obvious that the things he's saying now will look just as stupid in a year. The sort of shell game of pretending you didn't say what you said before is essential if you want to be tomorrow's news today.

Also, at no point in the article does it say that the dog, whose name is Major, they don't say that it's a trained attack dog. This is, at best, Alex lying about a part in the article that describes the difference between passive Alex is either lying about this or just making up a detail to create an angle for the audience to hang on to that doesn't involve the clear racism that underlies this story. Everything about the raid and the search sucks, and I'm not minimizing any of that stuff. I'm just saying that Alex is not a good source of information on anything.

So, Alex, I mean, I think there's a couple of things that you could pull out of there. The first is that he lies about sources.

Seems like he has an incentive to lie based on his own telling of the story.

The mainstream media on both sides, absolutely. Right and left, both of them lied through their teeth.

For con men like Alex and Steven, it's different. And that's why they do have to do this, like, oh, hey, look, it's $100 million that I make, but it's no big deal. That's actually nothing.

And I think one of the reasons is you have Alex who lies about his predictions in order to appear prophetic in some ways.

Alex is excluding information actively and intentionally so the audience doesn't get the full picture. After he comes back from break, he continues reading the article, and this is fucking damning.

Alex, you heard him say they had lived in a Denver area and then stopped right there. Yep. Right there at the word homeless, because that validates why there might have been concern that went awry, obviously not handled perfectly in this situation, but it gives an explanation for why this situation is happening. Right. Why there was cause for the people to think that maybe she was unhoused. Right. And he can't let that be. It has to be a random thing where there's evil intent on the part of these CPS people. He's lying to his audience, and it's so clear. When you hear him drop off right there when reading this, it's so fucking obvious.

Alex is not telling his audience that the family had already got the kid back by the time the article he's reading was published. He's also stopping himself from disclosing the part where it says that Gates is permanently disabled because of that shooting that he mentions, which naturally would be even more cause for child welfare services to be interested in providing whatever assistance they can.

He's also stopping himself from disclosing the part where it says that Gates is permanently disabled because of that shooting that he mentions, which naturally would be even more cause for child welfare services to be interested in providing whatever assistance they can. Yeah. This stuff works against Alex's narrative, though. So it's censored from the most uncensored and most unfiltered Totally.

It's the equivalent of the New York Times bestseller list before they got caught rigging it in the last 20 years so nobody looks at it or believes it anymore. It's totally fake.

So this is a headline from 2019, which Alex doesn't know because his team just googled cannibalism and printed out everything they could find that seems like it could work. Ouch. Alex does no prep for this show, so he's cold reading headlines and just making up context for them, and in this case he's pretending that it's a current story.

I mean, it's almost like it validates him making shit up because when he tried not to make shit up, it was wrong. It was a lie. He can't be right no matter what. He just can't do it. So he's like, well, I might as well fucking make it up. Even when I try not to make it up, I'm filled with shit.

Alex is completely admitting on air that he lied and made stuff up to excuse things that would make Trump look bad to his audience. Alex made up a story to sell his audience, which was Trump was pretending to be okay with vaccines so the economy could open and then he'd turn around and be their anti-vax hero. Alex is literally saying, I was playing devil's advocate to try to figure out what the hell he was doing. Alex saw Trump doing something that didn't fit with the version of him that he'd created for his audience to hear or worship, so he had to come up with an acceptable explanation for why Trump was acting that way. Alex made up this idea that Trump would come out against the vaccine later to pacify his audience and keep them in his revenue stream, and he's saying exactly that when this caller is pressing him on it.
