On this episode, Dan fills Jordan in on all the happenings on the December 31, 1999 edition of The Alex Jones Show. They touch on: Does Alex believe that the Y2K bug is going to strike? Are there concentration camps in Austin? How easily is it to convince Alex that a power plant has been blown up? Did we all survive Y2K?

|
Hello, Alex. | |
| I'm a first-time caller. | ||
| I'm a huge fan. | ||
| I love your work. | ||
| I love you. | ||
| Hey, everybody. | ||
| Welcome back to Knowledge Fight. | ||
| I'm Dan. | ||
| I'm Jordan. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey. | |
| That's me. | ||
| Seemed like a slicker way to do it. | ||
| Have us introduce each other or ourselves. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Or whatever. | ||
| This is the best opening so far to our two episodes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So here we are here. | ||
| I am a gentleman who is very interested. | ||
| In Infowars, and Alex Jones in particular, these accusations keep flying. | ||
| Jordan knows nothing about it, and we like to sit down, have a bottle of wine. | ||
| Like the bougie assholes that we are. | ||
| Today we are brought to you by Prophecy Wine. | ||
| It's a Pinot Noir out of California. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| It has a nice weirdo with a bindle, like a jester with a bindle on the front of it. | ||
| Very attractive bottle. | ||
| And he is surrounded by woodland dogs, just pure, or baby deer, whichever it is. | ||
| And a weird crescent moon inside a hill that's probably an Illuminati symbol. | ||
| That's what Alex would tell us. | ||
| So the premise of this show here is that I have gathered clips that Jordan has not heard, and we'll just discuss. | ||
| The ramifications of them. | ||
| We'll figure this shit out. | ||
| See if there's insanity to be discussed. | ||
| See if there's insanity. | ||
| It's Alex Jones, I think. | ||
| I think so far there's going to be at least a little bit of insanity going on. | ||
| So, at the end of last week... | ||
| First of all, I could not... | ||
| Last time on Knowledge Fight. | ||
| I could not wait to do this again, by the way. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I was hounding you to possibly do this on a daily basis, which we agree is excessive. | ||
| Yeah, last episode was some of the most fun I've ever had podcasting, but I was so emotionally drained just walking home just like, how does a man live like that? | ||
| It's insane to figure out, like to imagine the amount of... | ||
| Mental stress it must take to live inside that world. | ||
| The moment I left, I started reading about cognitive dissonance. | ||
| Because that's the only way that we can look through this. | ||
| And the term was coined not the way we think of it, where it's like you can hold two competing ideas in your head at the same time. | ||
| But whenever you get two competing ideas... | ||
| The one that you prefer that fits your natural narrative is the one that you wind up holding. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| So psychologically, reading about it today, you can't compete with insanity by using facts. | ||
| No, no, no, no, no. | ||
| Because when you use facts, people just double down on their insanity. | ||
| Or they use their insanity to co-opt your facts into their line of thinking. | ||
| I mean, we're witnessing this play out on the national scale. | ||
| International scale right now. | ||
| Well, if you listen to the first episode, we know the Pakistani government is now listening to us as well. | ||
| Yes, undoubtedly. | ||
| Also, here's something... | ||
| Okay, well, let me just set this up. | ||
| Last week, at the end of the week, Alex Jones... | ||
| Mr. Jones, if you're nasty. | ||
| He referenced on the last episode that we did that he was going to take some meetings, but maybe he didn't want to take these meetings because he doesn't need to warn someone in person. | ||
| He's talking about Trump. | ||
| Well, if you are in the mainstream media, you can figure it out. | ||
| Read between the lines, mainstream media. | ||
| So he has taken those meetings, and he is out of the studio. | ||
| So, for the last, like, four days... | ||
| He left the bunker? | ||
| He did. | ||
| Despite the warning that he is going to be assassinated. | ||
| Well, his warning from a caller, which we learned throughout the course of some of the clips we'll play today, maybe some of his sources are weirdo callers. | ||
| But, we'll get to that in a minute. | ||
| The last few days has been, like, guest hosts filling in. | ||
| And I don't really care to talk about them. | ||
| I mentioned this on the last episode. | ||
| But, like, no disrespect to Paul Joseph Watson. | ||
| No disrespect... | ||
| PJW. | ||
| PJW hates SJWs. | ||
| No disrespect to him or Oren Schroyer. | ||
| A little disrespect to Oren Schroyer. | ||
| That guy's an asshole. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But I don't want to talk about them because without them, there isn't... | ||
| Without them, it doesn't matter. | ||
| Alex Jones can do this on his own. | ||
| Without Alex Jones, there is no Infowars. | ||
| Yeah, that does seem to be... | ||
| Like, he's built a cult of personality. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| The same way that there are cults. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| These other people are little minions, and they are... | ||
| Basically, they echo a lot of his narrative. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So it's not really all that interesting to me to break down what Paul Joseph Watson has to say when he hosts. | ||
| It's mostly just... | ||
| There's a white genocide going on, and also people... | ||
| Yeah, we don't need to talk about that. | ||
| We'll get to that, but when Alex says it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Because he does. | ||
| I would never have guessed that. | ||
| We'll break down how that is a myth and a racist idea in and of itself at a future show. | ||
| But I wanted to do this, but we didn't have a show with Alex on it. | ||
| So I decided, let's go ahead and do that Y2K episode. | ||
| So that's why we're here. | ||
| We're going to discuss what happened when Alex Jones took to the airwaves on December 31st, 1999. | ||
| Unfortunately, he had already told me we were doing the Y2K episode before this, so you are missing out on him saying we're doing a Y2K episode and me absolutely losing my shit. | ||
| 17 years later, here we are. | ||
| What has happened? | ||
| We have not yet been Y2K'd. | ||
| No. | ||
| So, the main thrust... | ||
| If you will allow me to use that term of the episode, is this story that Alex picked up, that a power plant in Pennsylvania had been taken offline. | ||
| So I'll let him explain the story in this clip. | ||
| All right, let's go ahead and get to this article. | ||
| Associated Press, this came out at 722 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. | ||
| Today, December 31st, 1999, Pennsylvania, nuclear plant shut down. | ||
| One of the two nuclear reactors at Pico Energy Co.'s Limerick Generating Station has shut down this morning after a piece of equipment failed. | ||
| Company spokesman, Neil McDermott, said the problem was not Y2K-related. | ||
| It was declared an unusual event, the least serious emergency classification of nuclear power plant. | ||
| They've got to have a serious emergency to shut down a plant. | ||
| You power one down. | ||
| Let me... | ||
| The least serious emergency. | ||
| They gotta have a serious emergency. | ||
| The reason you laugh, and I think it's appropriate to stop this clip for a second and spell it out, is that that is wild conjecture and total bullshit. | ||
| They're like, okay, well, the story is that it's nothing serious. | ||
| And in the last 17 years, we've pretty much evidence has borne out that it's nothing serious. | ||
| Hindsight is 20... | ||
| Not Y2K. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But the story is, hey, it's nothing serious. | ||
| His story is, come on guys, it's fucking serious. | ||
| It's clearly serious. | ||
| I also like the audio quality of this clip now because it does have the feel of Dan Rather reporting from Warzone. | ||
| Or like we found it in a dusty box. | ||
|
unidentified
|
These are the unreleased clips from Alex Jones. | |
| I'm not as able to take everything fully in context, so there's a number of shorter clips in this episode, but that's just because this entire episode, it's not online anymore. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| There was just a large compilation of clips of it on... | ||
| Trust me, the context is fine. | ||
| The context is Y2K. | ||
| Like, that's all you need to know about the context of these, right? | ||
| Yeah, I'm apologizing in advance for something that's not necessarily to apologize for. | ||
| I just feel like a fair day in court is required, and here it is. | ||
| As is our stated objective. | ||
| So, here he has more to say about this reactor. | ||
| Powered up for at least days. | ||
| It was declared an unusual event. | ||
| At 2.55 a.m., shutdown occurred when an insulator on the main generator transformer from Limerick 2 failed. | ||
| We had reports yesterday of this. | ||
| Off the record, I would not report it, but I had it from a good source. | ||
| A good source who is off the record. | ||
| And he does that. | ||
| I might just go ahead and report it. | ||
| Nah, no, I'm not going to report it. | ||
| I have more information. | ||
| Nah, I don't really have more information. | ||
| I can't share it with you, so you need to make it up on your own. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And now this is something that I think is also really important and fun to bring up, is that this is all he does. | ||
| He says, like, I've got this information, someone high up told me, I have this credible information, never says what, first of all, the information is, never says who the people are. | ||
| In the same breath, now we have this intelligence report that came out about the hacking. | ||
| The Russian hacking in current day, 2017. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Anonymous officials have said there is some connection. | ||
| And then you read the article and it's like, just some guy said maybe and there's no new information about it. | ||
| Well, I mean, be that as it may, his stance on the unnamed officials... | ||
| Name the officials! | ||
| You're a coward if you can't name the officials! | ||
| That's all you do! | ||
| But if I don't name the officials, that's because I'm protecting you from the truth. | ||
| When they don't name them, it's because they're deceiving you and keeping the truth away from you. | ||
| He's not done. | ||
| That makes perfect sense. | ||
| Boy, do we get good information here. | ||
| This has been going on for days. | ||
| From our information, it is not this transformer that they're talking about. | ||
| They wouldn't just shut a plant down over that. | ||
| Something serious may be going on there. | ||
| So it turns out it was just that. | ||
| That is the end of every sentence that he said. | ||
| Turns out it was. | ||
| It was like a broken insulator and it required them to shut the plant down. | ||
| And this does happen from time to time. | ||
| It's a little bit extreme in the sense that turning off a nuclear reactor, nuclear power plant, is not simple. | ||
| You have to cool down the cores and stuff like that. | ||
| It's a huge process, but it does happen sometimes. | ||
| Yeah, well, it's an immensely complicated way of powering anything. | ||
| It's cleaner, isn't it? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'm going to assume it's cleaner because people are afraid of it. | ||
| I'm not responsible for knowing that. | ||
| I'm not an energy specialist. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| You are a Transformer specialist, though, which you've already established. | ||
| And I knew that earlier from anonymous sources. | ||
| Actually, I'm more of a GoBots specialist. | ||
| That's really where I'm more at. | ||
| So he has this narrative that runs throughout the entire episode where he just constantly brings up this Pennsylvania power plant. | ||
| Limerick, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it just goes on and on. | ||
| But what we can take away from that clip is that he knew about it yesterday. | ||
| And it's been going on for a few days. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And there's four or five other ones around the country that are about to... | ||
| That are, boy, who knows what's going to happen. | ||
| Because since it's a serious emergency... | ||
| And not just a Transformer. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| It could happen to anyone at any time. | ||
| Well, I mean, the underlying message... | ||
| This is deadly serious. | ||
| The underlying message is he's actually trying to get out, or the point he's trying to make is that these aren't real serious problems. | ||
| They're planned problems. | ||
| It's not that Y2K is happening. | ||
| It's that the globalists want you to think Y2K is happening while they have their... | ||
| Surrogate terrorists go out and cause little problems. | ||
| That is the narrative that I was not expecting. | ||
| That's the narrative. | ||
| I thought he was going to actually be afraid of Y2K. | ||
| I wish. | ||
| Instead, this is a full-on... | ||
| False flag. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All right. | ||
| That's where we're at. | ||
| This is a cover story for the globalists. | ||
| Now, this is 17 years ago, and the globalists... | ||
| He's already established globalists being the issue. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| From the jump. | ||
| From the jump, globalists. | ||
| From whenever he got radicalized in junior college to now, globalists are the problem. | ||
| Because I've read, I haven't finished it yet, but I've read, I don't need to finish it. | ||
| I've read most of the book that he read in college that he cites as his awakening, his red pilling, as they call it now. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| The book, None Dare Call It a Conspiracy. | ||
| And basically all it is is about these globalist forces. | ||
| That are trying to trick people into accepting socialism, because socialism is a lie that leads to communism. | ||
| And communism isn't really people sharing things. | ||
| It's utter control of the state over everything. | ||
| So that's the sort of principle behind it, and that's guided him throughout his entire broadcast career. | ||
| Okay, so if I understand this correctly... | ||
| Let me just say this. | ||
| Go for it. | ||
| And then I will take your question. | ||
| We'll be taking questions at the end of the podcast as well. | ||
| He's consistent in his underlying philosophy, but he's inconsistent in what that means and how it plays out in the world. | ||
| Now, if I understand this... | ||
| So here's the question that I have here. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| If he started doing the whole globalist thing 25 years ago, does he think... | ||
| He's winning or they're winning? | ||
| He now thinks he's winning with Trump because he believes that Trump is the champion who's going to take them all down. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And as we were discussing with cognitive dissonance, he can wrap his head around people like Rex Tillerson, you know, Exxon CEOs being put on the cabinet because he's like, now, you know, these Goldman Sachs bankers. | ||
| You know, they were working at Goldman Sachs, but if you look at their history, they've been fighting the globalists the whole way. | ||
| I have no idea how that's possible. | ||
| I don't either. | ||
| Because you wouldn't want to leave a record of that in case the globalists win. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| Then you're a mole. | ||
| Well, you would want to at least play both sides there so you can survive if the globalists go down. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But then you've still got the... | ||
| We're getting too deep into the story in modern day. | ||
| But the version is essentially... | ||
| We need to deal with this on its own terms. | ||
| We know from sources that they're behind the scenes doing the good fight. | ||
| So let's all go back to where we were when Y2K happened. | ||
| Well, you know where we were? | ||
| Where were you? | ||
| We were really afraid. | ||
| I'm not even going to say it's six to seven reactors across the country. | ||
| I'm not even going to... | ||
| It's bad, and I got this news about the Pennsylvania plant. | ||
| Early yesterday, got it again off air, confirmed it with someone that is 99% accurate, about like I am. | ||
| You catch that? | ||
| He confirmed it off air with somebody. | ||
| Who's 99% accurate, like I am. | ||
| Yeah, that's... | ||
| Wow. | ||
| That's smooth broadcasting, baby. | ||
| It is very great that he only deals with 99%. | ||
| You only hang out with people in your own social class of being correct all the time. | ||
| I mean, yeah, he's not correct all the time. | ||
| He wants to leave that open just in case Y2K doesn't happen. | ||
| I'm trying to report the truth, and now I've got the Associated Press saying, well, they shut the whole plant down, but they call it an unusual event, the least serious emergency classification of nuclear power plant. | ||
| Well, it's got to be pretty bad for them to power a plant down. | ||
| So that sounds like... | ||
| Good logic. | ||
| Yeah, it has to be pretty bad for them to power the plant down. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It has to be more bad than anything that happens where they don't have to power the plant down. | ||
| It's appealing on one level, but it's also not borne out by the facts. | ||
| You're getting bogged down with... | ||
| I think it's hard for us because we're trying to compete... | ||
| Non-facts with facts. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And we're not going to win there. | ||
| So we have to kind of engage with this on its own level. | ||
| I would love for you to do that. | ||
| I'm trying so hard. | ||
| I've been obsessed with facts my whole life. | ||
| Well, you've got to leave that at the door. | ||
| This is what's so great about this, is now I'm delving into this world of just pure, concentrated, 99.9% sure bullshit. | ||
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| If it is a serious problem, what is going to happen next? | ||
| Well, those reactors are going to go off. | ||
| Okay, so the reactors... | ||
| Is that how reactors work? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| We had Chernobyl. | ||
| That didn't explode. | ||
| I think it's probably the... | ||
| We had Chernobyl. | ||
| We all did. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| As a human community, because we're libertards and we care about people in foreign countries. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| But I think that maybe the grid... | ||
| Have you heard that they're using progtards now, too? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, no. | |
| Oh, so good. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| That's progressive tards for people who are not in the Twitter know. | ||
| So I think that the next stage of the narrative of that would be that the grid goes down or something like that. | ||
| Power goes out around the city. | ||
| So nuclear power plants control the entire grid, is what he thinks. | ||
| And there's no backup, and once the nuclear power plant goes down, it's utter chaos, which the globalists are trying to put together. | ||
| It's funny you should say that, because we've got some more reports here that maybe you should hear, and they're coming to you from one of Alex Jones' reputable sources, a slack-jawed caller. | ||
| Tellers and gentlemen, I'm a little bit excited here today and trying to maintain my calm. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, they're turning the heat up on this thing now, and it's at War 10, Alex. | |
| The reason I called in today, I got another confirmation real early this morning. | ||
| In fact, before the sun even came up, a gentleman called me out of Michigan about the power plant situation, what we were talking about yesterday out in western Kentucky. | ||
| A gentleman from Michigan called him about the power plant situation in Pennsylvania. | ||
| No, in Michigan. | ||
| Oh, it was in Michigan. | ||
| We'll get back to that. | ||
| I wanted to stop here for a second to decompress for a second. | ||
| Like, he just said what we were talking about yesterday. | ||
| Now, it's possible he was talking about the guy in Michigan, or he talked to Alex yesterday. | ||
| Yeah, what Alex Jones was saying earlier. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh-huh. | |
| He might have talked to Alex Jones. | ||
| I like how proud this dude was that he got it before the sun even came up. | ||
| About two in the morning now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, he is getting information before even Alex Jones. | ||
| Like, he's big time in Alex Jones right there, right? | ||
| Hillbilly. | ||
| Fucking take a nap. | ||
| It's two in the morning. | ||
| Even if he is 100% correct, that accent makes everything sound... | ||
| Wrong? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, also, I have to stress this. | ||
| The pronoun reference is so vague, and I think it's important, because I believe that he spoke to Alex the day before. | ||
| He actually spoke to Alex off-air? | ||
| Well, here, let me play it back a little bit, because he says what we were talking about yesterday. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| That was the we, the guy in Michigan, or is it him and Alex? | ||
| I think, I don't think he... | ||
| Let's hear it in context, and then hear the rest of the clip. | ||
|
unidentified
|
...out of Michigan, about the power plant situation, what we were talking about yesterday, out in western Kentucky. | |
| Well, he called me about a power plant up in Michigan. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And this one here, one of the ones in Michigan, just one that's in question here that I'm talking about. | ||
| We have confirmation. | ||
| When given the order, they will shut this one down. | ||
| And that newspaper article that you were talking about, about that nuclear plant in Pennsylvania, just goes on to say the exact same things. | ||
| So the we is vague. | ||
| I think the we is him. | ||
| And Michigan guy? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I think it's him actually believing that he is part of Alex Jones' broadcast. | ||
| The community. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Like the way that the church would say, you know, the we. | ||
| I can accept that as a possibility also. | ||
| But then he goes on to say that there's a power plant in Michigan that... | ||
| When given the order... | ||
| They will shut it down. | ||
| Which is... | ||
| Which means what? | ||
| It means that the globalists will be signaling them. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's what it has to mean in his mind. | ||
| Even though that is literally what would happen is your superior would say, hey, shut this down. | ||
| And then you wouldn't resist. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| You work at the power plant. | ||
| They go on to talk about the Pennsylvania thing, and this is something that comes up over and over again on this episode. | ||
| And one of the reasons why I think it's the most interesting document is that because... | ||
| People keep calling in and saying wild shit, and Alex never challenges them. | ||
| There has never been, perhaps, a day that we knew in advance was going to be fucked up more than Y2K. | ||
| I was 15 at the time, and even I had a keen awareness to be like, I'm going to be careful about things I believe on this day. | ||
| Everyone is kind of full of shit. | ||
| I remember this distinctly. | ||
| I was 13. My dad started putting water in the freezer. | ||
| Like, in case. | ||
| And I remember thinking, or at least I tell myself I remember thinking... | ||
| That's not going to help. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Bottles of ice. | ||
| Yeah, even if something does go bad. | ||
| How big is your freezer? | ||
| Yeah, not big. | ||
| Not big at all. | ||
| That's maybe two days' worth of water. | ||
| We're going to have to forage sooner or later. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What he should be doing is reading books about foraging. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| That would be the smarter way to go. | ||
| Well, I think, I mean, as it goes in these disaster scenarios, most of the time, you only really have to wait out about a week or two before, like, most people are dead. | ||
| This is zombie apocalypse now is what we're saying. | ||
| Well, no, I'm just discussing fear porn that these weirdos who come on Alex's show talk about all the time. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They were like, you know, basically you just need the survival food and that'll get you through like, you know, two weeks and that's when all the lawless people will have killed each other off. | ||
| And, you know, if you have the food, it's the difference between being able to, you know, sit around at home with the family or have to go out and fight. | ||
| So that's one thing about the zombie apocalypse narrative that these guys totally share, which is some dudes absolutely jerk off to the fantasy that they would be the lone survivor in the apocalypse. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| So that's what this dude is, what all of these dudes are basically saying is like, if shit does go down, it's a good thing that we have you, Alex Jones, and the rest of us. | ||
| Who can sell us food. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Which brings us to our first commercial break. | ||
| Brings us to our first commercial break of the Y2K show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Time is getting shorter until Y2K. | |
| If you want to be sure your family and loved ones weather the potential Y2K storm of delays, shortages, or interruptions of services, then now is the time to stock up on emergency supplies and a home food reserve. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| What? | ||
| So, you start to get the picture. | ||
| You start to get the picture of what's going on here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| He's spreading fear, and all this idea of, like, oh my god, a disaster is happening, power grid is going down, for the last years, and right up to it, he's been hawking survival food, and shit like that. | ||
| It's in his best interest to get people scared. | ||
| Oh, absolutely. | ||
| But who, is he selling the food? | ||
| Is that a company that's selling the food? | ||
| Yeah, it's his parent company. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| That makes way more sense. | ||
| Which he has a stake in. | ||
| Because I thought that might be a legitimate TV commercial at the time. | ||
| We'll get to another ad later, which is even more damning. | ||
| Meaning it's going to keep water from overflowing after the apocalypse. | ||
| Yeah, you know your words. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| That's our only power plant option whenever the nuclears go down. | ||
| Well, speaking of power plants, later in the night we get another update on something else around the world from another caller. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was also reported a local person caught it on CNN. | |
| A power plant has been blown up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
In Oregon. | |
| Okay, we need to get CNN on. | ||
| I'm sure it's studios at GCN. | ||
| They're checking that out. | ||
| Boy, Clinton's pulled it. | ||
| Oh, man, this has happened. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But that's the report that I got, and two other people on local repeaters verified it. | |
| They're going to say that one of Bin Laden's tariffs slipped through. | ||
| I've been stating for years, Bin Laden is a known CIA asset. | ||
| That's public record. | ||
| But I firmly side on the fact that we need to go ahead and support the truth. | ||
| But to create the panic, it does. | ||
| Should have warned people earlier. | ||
| We got in to support the troops. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No, we didn't. | ||
| I thought he said support the troops. | ||
| Didn't he just say that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| What did he say? | ||
| He said, we've got to tell the truth. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh! | |
| We've got to report the truth. | ||
| And then he says something that is him tipping his hand a little too far. | ||
| And that is, if it causes a panic, so be it. | ||
| Should have warned him earlier. | ||
| When he is the only person... | ||
| Who's out there in the grand scheme of things saying all this crazy bullshit and letting these whack job callers dictate what he believes. | ||
| Because that Oregon explosion didn't happen. | ||
| No, of course not. | ||
| It wasn't reported in any real media. | ||
| It's some caller telling him that someone told him that it had happened and he doesn't challenge it. | ||
| Why would he challenge it? | ||
| Great question. | ||
| Are his callers screened? | ||
| They have to be, right? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Or is it only his listeners call? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| Because I've never seen him actually... | ||
| Well, I mean, clearly I have zero experience with him. | ||
| But has he ever challenged a caller? | ||
| Yeah, when they talk about, like, globalism. | ||
| Or whenever they insinuate things that disagree with him, yeah, he challenges them. | ||
| That's exactly what it... | ||
|
unidentified
|
But it happens rarely. | |
| So if he lets a caller talk... | ||
| It happens very rarely. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And then he just screams at them and they hang up on him. | ||
| Well, see, because I remember listening to Hannity's radio show with my grandfather. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| I did, too. | ||
| Which I remember as just the greatest time of my life. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| The salad days. | ||
| See, Hannity's kind of thing was he would often bring those people on because then he could really go off on them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that's what was really exciting. | ||
| But in Hannity's case, I actually know this. | ||
| I don't have documents or anything like this. | ||
| But an unconfirmed source did tell you about that. | ||
| A lot of those callers are fake. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| We have a number of friends who work doing fake calls to radio shows. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| And if you listen to drive-time radio and morning radio, almost all of those calls are fake. | ||
| People who call in and the morning DJs are doing bits with them and stuff like that, those are improvisers. | ||
| For the most part. | ||
| No shit. | ||
| I didn't know that. | ||
| You just destroyed my whole world. | ||
| Yeah, they're getting paid like $35, $40 a call or something like that. | ||
| We have a number of friends. | ||
| I'll tell you off-air who they are. | ||
| I don't want to put their business in the street because it's really, really dirty. | ||
| But that's what a lot of radio stations do because most people don't call in. | ||
| The people who do are usually crazy. | ||
| I always used to wonder about that because I had this... | ||
| Image of somebody driving, you know, drive time radio. | ||
| Somebody's driving and they're just like, I need to call this radio show. | ||
| So they're driving and then pulling all this shit out of their ass. | ||
| So that always kind of made me believe that... | ||
| The thing with Hannity is like, yeah, he gets these callers and he gets to tee off on them and it's never someone who actually knows their shit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well... | |
| Coincidentally. | ||
| But that's... | ||
| See, that still kind of makes sense to me if you screen your callers. | ||
| Oh, sure, sure. | ||
| The old Leno man on the street interview is like, they're not bringing you people who know exactly what he's questioning about. | ||
| Right. | ||
| They're giving you the people who are like that fit that narrative of, isn't everybody silly? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Which actually is... | ||
| Which brings me to an interesting point about some of the Alex Jones show that we missed this week. | ||
| That I just want to tee off on real quick. | ||
| So a lot of the episodes end up starting with like a man on the street segment. | ||
| I wish they started with someone on the street. | ||
| There was one that was like Mark Dice. | ||
| He's this asshole YouTuber. | ||
| Great fucking name though. | ||
| And he was going around. | ||
| Mark Dice Clay. | ||
| He was like, you be the guy on the street, I'll be him. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And he was like, hey, so if your girlfriend's pregnant and someone comes up and just punches her in the stomach a couple times real good. | ||
| And she aborts. | ||
| Is that murder? | ||
| That's a complicated question. | ||
| No one's given any of that nuance. | ||
| Or at least they edit that out. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Yes! | ||
| Okay, so why, if she chooses to kick it out of her belly, is it not murder? | ||
| Because nobody else was involved. | ||
| Well, there's that. | ||
| The argument would be that she is different than the baby, so she's still acting upon the baby as if she were punching herself in the stomach. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That is an interesting argument. | ||
| It's not that interesting. | ||
| I actually do kind of feel like that is a different angle. | ||
| Well, go ahead and give me why it's not an interesting argument. | ||
| Well, because I don't think it's murder, necessarily. | ||
| I think it's a brutal assault. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| For sure. | ||
| But it's a brutal assault from the guy onto her. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it made her unable to carry the baby. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it's not that he's attacking the baby at all. | ||
| He's attacking her. | ||
| Yeah, but if he's punching her in the stomach multiple times, which, where is this guy coming from? | ||
| Crazy town. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| This guy calls into Alex Jones. | ||
| No doubt. | ||
| So he's punching the baby. | ||
| Now, I do think you're right in saying that it's not murder. | ||
| Can you murder something that doesn't have sentience yet? | ||
| Or even the idea of consciousness? | ||
| Now that's where it gets complicated. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And it's outside the scope of a man on the street bit. | ||
| That would be great if a man on the street interview happens and then they both sit in these comfy chairs and have this little debate with coffee on them just doing that whole thing. | ||
| Or some nice prophecy wine. | ||
| Prophecy wine. | ||
| It's not bad, by the way. | ||
| It isn't. | ||
| Shout out. | ||
| Um, okay, so, you know, we got all these reactors, all these power plants, we're having trouble with them. | ||
| You know, all around the country. | ||
| One of them exploded. | ||
| One of them blew up in Oregon. | ||
| Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| But it's all this stuff that is not being challenged, and it's so incredibly frustrating. | ||
| Because as, oh, you asked why would he, and I got flustered. | ||
| Because it angers me, even the question. | ||
| Because if you are a journalist. | ||
| If you are someone who people listen to, you have a responsibility not to throw bullshit around, especially on a day like Y2K when everyone is on edge. | ||
| Like, people were on edge. | ||
| They shouldn't have been, but they were. | ||
| No. | ||
| People were buying into it. | ||
| People were hoarding stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Like, it was happening. | ||
| And so if you're a broadcaster, you do have a certain responsibility to be like, well, you know, Even if you say very unconfirmed reports of a power plant blowing up in Oregon, we're looking into it. | ||
| It's probably not true. | ||
| We'll get back to you when we have confirmation. | ||
| I feel like that's as far as you can go. | ||
| I do like the guy who called in saying... | ||
| Yeah, I heard it from a guy who saw it on CNN. | ||
| Like, there's only one guy who was watching CNN whenever they released that. | ||
| It's going to get worse with CNN later. | ||
| But, like, I wish someone would call in and was like, I heard it from a friend who heard it from another. | ||
| Yeah, we were playing a game of telephone that started with, hey, somebody set off some fireworks. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, where we go from here? | ||
| This... | ||
| Night was not just... | ||
| Actually, no. | ||
| Let's leave that until we get really crazy. | ||
| Okay, well, the night was not just about power plants, though the night also had a lot of other various flavors of fear porn. | ||
| So, would you say that the night is young and power plants are still beautiful? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| The power plants came up throughout the night. | ||
| It just kept coming up, but also throughout was a bunch of other weird weaving storylines. | ||
| And this introduces a couple of them that I think are important. | ||
| 20,000 to 40,000 civilians trapped in the city. | ||
| Russian hines are being shot down. | ||
| Tanks are being blown to bed. | ||
| Whoa! | ||
| What? | ||
| I should explain. | ||
| That is in reference to the war in Chechnya. | ||
| Oh! | ||
| Okay, well that makes perfect sense then. | ||
| But he was also saying that hundreds of thousands of people are dead. | ||
| There's another clip that says it. | ||
| It says all of the... | ||
| I don't remember which clip it is, but he's talking about how there's more wars going on now than ever. | ||
| Wait, here, I think I found it. | ||
| On the day? | ||
| There's more wars going on on December 31st, 1999 than ever have. | ||
| No, than ever in the history of the world. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think this is the clip. | |
| Cash machines are failing in Britain and now other European countries. | ||
| They're finding large amounts of explosives in France. | ||
| Vladimir Putin, who is known as Vladimir the Ruthless, and using all his profanity on national television, TV, you name it. | ||
| We won't read the profanity here, but we've got it. | ||
| This person is on an unbelievable power trip and resembles a... | ||
| demon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He is a creature of the IMF and the World Bank and international communism. | |
| So he resembles A demon. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Just like Hillary Clinton this year was a demon. | ||
| Literally a demon. | ||
| Vladimir the Ruthless was just a guy who had the same picture as the guy from Ghostbusters 2. The person who Alex Jones now is really getting behind and supporting and being like, Putin's a good guy. | ||
| He legitimately is on Russia's side. | ||
| He was on Russian television being lauded by Alexander Dugan, one of... | ||
| Putin's great advisors, very close associates. | ||
| Alex Jones was on Russian television, like live, or they showed clips of Alex Jones? | ||
| No, no, he was on. | ||
| Oh, shit. | ||
| He looked like he was gonna cry. | ||
| Does Alex Jones speak Russian? | ||
| Nope. | ||
| There was a translator. | ||
| Because that would be great if he had learned it in this past year, just like, I'm excited! | ||
| Uh, dasvidanya! | ||
| Ah, hey! | ||
| He was on Russian television, and this guy, Dugan, was explaining to him that, like, because of you, our opinions about America have changed. | ||
| Like, it was just a rim job of a segment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Like, they can't fucking believe what... | ||
| They're saying. | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| They're giving him lip service because narcissism is how you compromise people. | ||
| It's a very old trick in spy games. | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| So they're just like, because of you, I say this, anti-Americanism is over. | ||
| And Alex Jones is just sitting there and he looks like he's going to cry, like he's finally got daddy's approval. | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| So he is... | ||
| Full-on, whole hog on the side of Russia. | ||
| So they're teaching, so they're saying to Alex Jones, not just that anti-Americanism is over, but directly because of your intervention. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Because of you, and because of your help that you gave to Trump, you've shown us that all Americans aren't these weaselly dicks. | ||
| I'm paraphrasing that part a little bit, but you can find, Alex Jones put out that clip. | ||
| It's on the Infowars channel on YouTube. | ||
| You can find it, and it's insanity. | ||
| It's absolute insanity. | ||
| I would hope no one sees it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because it's like, uh, uh, shit. | |
| Shit. | ||
| Shit. | ||
| Russia thinks I'm awesome. | ||
| This is bad news. | ||
| Russia thinks I'm awesome. | ||
| Is the next name of this podcast. | ||
| So, let's finish this clip up. | ||
| He was just talking about how Putin looks like a demon. | ||
| Oh, also that he's in cahoots with the IMF, the International Monetary Fund. | ||
| That's an old fun one. | ||
| Yeah, but he's also putting him as one of the heads of the globalists. | ||
| So he is painting Putin as part of this global cabal that he is against in 1999. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Which has now completely flipped. | ||
| Former KGB head, and this information is vital, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| We are seeing the New World Order really come out in full force. | ||
| More wars than have been in the last 50 years are going on right now. | ||
| The war in Chechnya is raging in Rosny with, well, reports of hundreds of thousands dying. | ||
| So yeah, that's what that was in reference. | ||
| Did he say hundreds of thousands, or did he say hundreds to thousands? | ||
| Hundreds of thousands. | ||
| Hundreds of thousands. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Hundreds of thousands. | ||
| He makes those claims again, which is insanity. | ||
| That's so many people. | ||
| It's a lot of people. | ||
| It's an impossible amount of people. | ||
| Yeah, so that's what that was in reference to. | ||
| How many people do live in Chechnya? | ||
| Not hundreds of thousands. | ||
| Well, maybe hundreds of thousands. | ||
| I don't fucking know, but they're not all dead. | ||
| We have reports that Chechnya is over. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| We have reports that everybody in Chechnya has killed each other. | ||
| It's flat ground. | ||
| It's scorched earth, people. | ||
| That's actually not far off of where this is going to end. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| All right. | ||
| In the city, Russian hines are being shot down. | ||
| Tanks are being blown to bits. | ||
| Massive Grodd, unguided rocket attacks are being launched on the city indiscriminately right now. | ||
| Air and artillery bombardments as well. | ||
| It's absolutely out of control. | ||
| It is pandemic, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| I'll give you the news first on Y2K. | ||
| The newest developments, the Pennsylvania nuclear plant has been shut down. | ||
| One of the main systems transferring the power from it failed, but they say it's not a Y2K problem. | ||
| And the things I'm experiencing here on Austin, Texas. | ||
| The shelves are empty of water, and some gas stations are running out of fuel. | ||
| So he went to a commercial with that sort of terrifying, there's no water, gas is running out. | ||
| I love that that 90s, like, Saved by the Bell music is playing behind him. | ||
| Well, it's like, everyone is dying, unguided rockets are being fired, which... | ||
| Indiscriminately! | ||
| Where would they go? | ||
| Random places. | ||
| If they're unguided, that, like... | ||
| Do they have any idea where they're going to go or are they just shooting their wad in all different directions? | ||
| Just shooting that wad. | ||
| Also, that all isn't true. | ||
| But then we come back from commercial. | ||
| We're in central Texas and in Minneapolis, Minnesota. | ||
| The shortwave is basically down, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Went off right as I went on the air. | ||
| So that's the introduction of another narrative. | ||
| The narrative of the government is trying to take out radio signals. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That runs throughout the night. | ||
| Which Alex Jones is on. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Ah. | ||
| We'll get a little bit deeper into that here. | ||
| The central government, known as the federal government, the occupational government in Washington, D.C., has set up a huge $50 million command bunker hooked into all the FEMA boxes that can take over all the shortwave broadcast. | ||
| What the fuck is that sentence? | ||
| So, the central government... | ||
| Also known as the federal government, the occupation government. | ||
| Right, because we should operate under maritime law as sovereign citizens. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Or whatever. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So they set up a $50 million bunker. | ||
| Did they do it that day? | ||
| Also, that's not much for a bunker. | ||
| No, that's not a great bunker. | ||
| It's kind of a cheap bunker. | ||
| I feel like if you're an occupation government, you get a better bunker right away. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, for sure. | ||
| No, they probably had that set up like months in advance, maybe, because they knew that they were going to do this PSYOP on Y2K. | ||
| And Chechnya. | ||
| Oh, well, of course. | ||
| Well, that's just Vladimir the Ruthless. | ||
| The Ruthless, right. | ||
| So, yeah, hold on, here we go. | ||
| Commercial AM and FM stations as well as television broadcast stations, and we hope they do not... | ||
| Activate that. | ||
| Yeah, so he's afraid that they're going to take out all AM and FM stations, television as well. | ||
| He goes a little bit further into this. | ||
| Why would they take out all the AM and FM stations? | ||
| Because they don't want Alex jumping on any of those stations, just in case. | ||
| I mean, it's not that. | ||
| He doesn't say that, but that's my assumption. | ||
| No, that's the implication there. | ||
| They don't want people to be able to communicate, especially patriots. | ||
| But are people communicating on AM, FM radio, or just radio hosts? | ||
| Well, the shortwave, too, I assume would involve, like, CB radios, too. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I'm guessing. | ||
| I mean, I don't know enough about radio waves. | ||
| He never spells that out, but I'm guessing that's one of the implications. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Now, did the shortwave radios go down? | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So he is once again just riffing off whatever it is that he feels like. | ||
| As I referred to it on the last episode, and I think I'm going to keep on. | ||
| Keeping on with this. | ||
| The Boogie Woogie Bandit got in there. | ||
| And he just started scatting. | ||
| It's just paranoia scat just coming out. | ||
| But in this case... | ||
| Ella Fitzgerald, Alex Jones. | ||
| In this case, it's clear that it's not random. | ||
| It is very intentional. | ||
| These are the fears that people have. | ||
| And so he's amplifying them, playing into them. | ||
| Like the Russia idea. | ||
| Now, I will give him that on January 1st of 2000, Boris Yeltsin did step down. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And that broke on New Year's Eve. | ||
| So, the idea of being scared about this Putin guy... | ||
| Who we, you know... | ||
| He's ruthless. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's reasonable. | ||
| Although, if your name is Vladimir, you do have to have a the after that with whatever, like, Vladimir the Impaler. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| Vladimir the Ruthless. | ||
| My editor... | ||
| Vladimir the... | ||
| You know, not... | ||
| Quite so wonderful guy. | ||
| My campus editor in college, when I wrote for the student paper, her middle name was Vladimir. | ||
| Her middle name was Vladimir? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't give a shit about Vladimir. | ||
| So she was Vladimir the woman! | ||
| How do you not get this? | ||
| Vladimir the editor. | ||
| Vladimir the, my copy was better than what you put on it. | ||
| I think I actually know another Russian girl whose middle name is Vladimir. | ||
| Anyway. | ||
| That's a pretty weird coincidence. | ||
| That is kind of... | ||
| I've never met anybody with the name Vladimir that would tell me their name was Vladimir. | ||
| It's like Adolf at this point. | ||
| So they would be Vladimir the Deceiver. | ||
| Right. | ||
| See, you can't say the name Vladimir without putting a the blank after it. | ||
| Speaking of deceiving... | ||
| Doing a fabulous job. | ||
| He is consulting with people that he knows personally. | ||
| So he's talking about someone who's giving him information. | ||
| He's starting this clip off talking about someone who is feeding him information, but you will see that he plays his normal game of... | ||
| You'll see. | ||
| Does he give a name to any source at any point in time during this? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Maybe this one. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| A lot of former military people that now own radio companies. | ||
| In fact, I'm not even going to say who the individual is. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| But also we learn... | ||
| I feel like you knew that in advance. | ||
| We also learned, though, that a lot of former military people now own radio stations. | ||
| When did that happen? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| So here we go. | ||
| I'm sure he can call it publicly. | ||
| I just don't want to give a lot of folks' names out on the air. | ||
| They have activated a powerful Cold War radar system in the North Pole region. | ||
| That is something that is drowning out shortwave. | ||
| The entire 9400 band all throughout the 9.400 up to 9.4001. | ||
| Military traffic is everywhere right now, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Scrambled. | ||
| We've got super power, radar systems, nuclear systems up, and perhaps our military. | ||
| It was Clinton that shut down that Cold War radar system. | ||
| It's now back up from people that actually worked in there. | ||
| We have it confirmed from the sound and where it's coming from, from experts. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| Well, one, when did the Cold War... | ||
|
unidentified
|
We know from the sound. | |
| It's 1999. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So when did the Cold War end to him? | ||
| Never. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Well, no, no. | ||
| This year. | ||
| In 1999? | ||
| No, no, no. 2017. | ||
| Oh, 2017. | ||
| Whenever anti-Americanism ended. | ||
| 2016. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So we have... | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Why would they put Cold War disruption technology in the North Pole? | ||
| On the North? | ||
| Does he think Santa Claus is real? | ||
| I think he thinks maybe they're... | ||
| I don't fucking know, man. | ||
| It's so insane. | ||
| Okay, so let's just war games this. | ||
| Let's just go throughout this whole thing. | ||
| We've got to take it piece by piece. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because there's so many pieces. | ||
| And it's so easy to get bogged down with one, because he has this brilliant, like, just throw everything at you. | ||
| Because sooner or later, one of those things is going to hit one person. | ||
| Sure, one of these power plants is actually going to be out. | ||
| But to be fair, actually, the Pennsylvania one did have that. | ||
| Problem. | ||
| It was real. | ||
| It's just he mischaracterized it. | ||
| But see, then he said that the nuclear power plants are up. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So which are we more afraid of? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So we got a powerful Cold War era disruptor. | ||
| Which, how could it be that powerful? | ||
| It was from the Cold War era. | ||
| Do you remember how they didn't even have fucking planes? | ||
| It's because the shortwave signals aren't that sophisticated. | ||
| So it's this old-time system that can shut down AM and FM and shortwave radio. | ||
| Yeah, but only above 94.000. | ||
| Have you seen Lost? | ||
| No, I haven't seen Lost. | ||
| That's another thing that I have not seen. | ||
| It's a great show. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I've heard that. | ||
| There's a whole thing in the first season where there's a signal disruptor. | ||
| On the island. | ||
| So they can't get radio off the island because this lady had put a signal jam on. | ||
| I think that's what Alex Jones thinks is happening from the North Pole. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| There's a signal jam going out across the entire world. | ||
| So if it's on the North Pole, he believes that it can then reach the entire world. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So that's why you would put it on the North Pole. | ||
| Because it goes down. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's how the space works. | ||
| That's how space works. | ||
| It's gravity. | ||
| It just goes down. | ||
| Stop being an idiot. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's gravity. | |
| I'm sorry. | ||
| It goes down. | ||
| Yeah, you know what? | ||
| You're right. | ||
| In geospatial situations, we all know that the South Pole is down, the North Pole is up. | ||
| Always. | ||
| That makes perfect sense. | ||
| Yeah, I don't fucking know, man. | ||
| I don't know what the logic is there other than... | ||
| Gotta say something. | ||
| Yeah, like, try and give me some internal logic to that long... | ||
| Because that's just a long list of different things for you to be afraid of. | ||
| None of them are connected to each other in any way, other than he thinks they're all happening at the same time. | ||
| Orchestrated by the same people? | ||
| The globalists. | ||
| Vladimir and Bill Clinton. | ||
| And Clinton disabled the Cold War other stuff? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But not this. | ||
| Not this! | ||
| Well, he disabled the Cold War stuff that we built to protect against their Cold War stuff. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Here's what you have to understand. | ||
| Did Clinton's Cold War stuff... | ||
| Was that put on the cell phone? | ||
| Also, Clinton's Cold War stuff is going to be the name of my first rap album. | ||
| Okay, that's a pretty good rap album name. | ||
| I think the picture that we start to come up with and we have to deal with is that maybe scaring people is the point. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, yeah. | |
| Maybe it is... | ||
| Not fun version of War of the Worlds, basically, is what we're bogged down in. | ||
| Was War of the Worlds that fun, though? | ||
| It was artistic. | ||
| It was, that's true. | ||
| Orson Welles is a pretty good dude. | ||
| That was trolling. | ||
| This is not. | ||
| This is... | ||
| And we'll get to, again, why I'm 100% convinced it's not. | ||
| At our next commercial break. | ||
| See, now I just can't get out. | ||
| Like, this is a whole Dr. Strangelove situation where it is like, okay, they put their Cold War stuff on the North Pole. | ||
| There's only one way to fight against it. | ||
| We're going to put our Cold War stuff on the bottom. | ||
| Yep, yep. | ||
| Because that's going to go up. | ||
| Do you want to be afraid of some more stuff? | ||
| Oh, God, yes. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Pause it real quick. | ||
| I would have given anything for him to stop with ladies. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ladies? | |
| And not as gentlemen, just ladies. | ||
| Dudes? | ||
| We know that stuff is... | ||
| Guys, just sit this one out. | ||
| This is for the ladies. | ||
| Hit the skids, dudes. | ||
| You're not going to need to hoard stuff because we're going to need you as breeders after it all goes down. | ||
| Like it's an Usher concert. | ||
| No dudes. | ||
| No dudes. | ||
| Alright, here we go. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, police and military are on high alert, running around looking for supposed boogeymen and terrorists under every rock. | ||
| Military are highly visible now. | ||
| Yes, ladies and gentlemen, there are trains of military equipment moving into Austin. | ||
| Two nights ago, on Wednesday night, Fox News reported that the airport will be used as a massive holding facility for troublemakers or rioters here in Austin that have no history of riots. | ||
| They need to get that country locked down. | ||
| So they can stage the election for Vladimir Putin. | ||
| I mean, this guy is a demon. | ||
| Have you seen this guy? | ||
| How he's raging with power? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Wait. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So the military is highly visible. | ||
| Highly. | ||
| Highly visible in Austin, Texas. | ||
| Occupied Austin, Texas. | ||
| Occupied Austin, Texas. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| In case there are riots? | ||
| Even though there's no history of riots, Fox News reported that at the airport? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Their old airport. | ||
| Oh, the old airport. | ||
| I was going to say, like, are they shutting down planes, too, and they're all just hanging out? | ||
| I don't have the clip of this, but there is a part where he's like, all the planes are in the sky. | ||
| All the planes are in the sky. | ||
| Late in the broadcast, he starts talking about how, like, all the planes are in the sky. | ||
| Then he gets a call, and they're like, hey, you're talking about Russia, but let's be aware there's other countries we need to be afraid of, too. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Let's compound this fear cyclone. | ||
| We're all going to jerk each other off with what we're afraid of. | ||
| Yeah, China exists, and Germany is pretty weird, too. | ||
| Here is the crazy thing. | ||
| He's 100% correct about Vladimir Putin. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This guy went from being a low-level KGB staffer to... | ||
| Running the entire country. | ||
| You can't argue with Vladimir the Ruthless. | ||
| I would posit that he's right big picture about Putin. | ||
| Wrong small picture. | ||
| The idea that he's some sort of globalist shill and all that is not really backed up by anything. | ||
| But yeah, he's right. | ||
| We should be concerned about him and we should have been for the last 17 years. | ||
| More so than we have been. | ||
| Only Alex Jones was. | ||
| That's not true exactly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Of course it's not. | ||
| So, yeah. | ||
| But, okay, let's go with... | ||
| There are tanks? | ||
| Where did tanks come from? | ||
| There's so many tanks. | ||
| Where did tanks even... | ||
| How did tanks get there? | ||
| Are they keeping tanks there? | ||
| Do they have tanks in San Antonio that can get there that quickly? | ||
| I can't play the clip yet, but that will be explained. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Thank God. | ||
| That's part of something. | ||
| Because that's really the only mystery I'm interested in at this point. | ||
| No, that's in a later clip. | ||
| Add to the answer. | ||
| Is going to give you maybe a few more questions. | ||
| I can't get over the fact that this is the Y2K episode. | ||
| So maybe you're wondering... | ||
| I don't know, Jordan. | ||
| Maybe you're wondering what's going on around the country. | ||
| I am absolutely wondering where else tanks are. | ||
| Maybe there are things that are happening in other states that haven't been discussed yet. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Maybe we check in on the South. | ||
| Is Fox News reporting or is CNN reporting? | ||
| Maybe a slack-jawed caller from Arkansas. | ||
| Excellent. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She called frantically yesterday saying, I don't want you to leave Harrison, Arkansas. | |
| My girlfriend works there. | ||
| I don't want you to leave. | ||
| I don't want you to leave. | ||
| They've got marked the law signs we just found out down to the Arkansas Highway Transportation Department. | ||
| And we said, well, we thought at first she had probably seen your take because she's kind of like got her head in the sand. | ||
| And yesterday, up and down Highway 65, I was seeing Arkansas Highway Transportation Department vehicles. | ||
| They might have been doing road work. | ||
| To where the Department of Transportation vehicles should be? | ||
| That might be... | ||
| I've been seeing him all over the place. | ||
| Did he... | ||
| Where did he... | ||
| Old Coke. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I've been seeing these deli workers. | ||
| At delis all over the place. | ||
| At Mariano's. | ||
| I think it's a conspiracy. | ||
| I think they're trying to cut some... | ||
| I saw a teenager wearing a potbelly t-shirt. | ||
| She wasn't even in potbelly. | ||
| Was there a potbelly in the vicinity? | ||
| It was about a... | ||
| It was a block away. | ||
| Irrelevant. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So this clip isn't done. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And this girl here just does not believe in that stuff now. | |
| She's totally going nuts over it. | ||
| So you've known this person for a long time, and she was a doubting promise, and now she claims she has personally seen the mark of law signs? | ||
|
unidentified
|
She hasn't, but her friend that works for the Arkansas Highway Transportation Department called and heard of it. | |
| They just delivered them. | ||
| And we go up and down the highway. | ||
| So what's gorgeous about this and what you're about to hear, and I just want to spell it out, this is third-hand information, and Alex does not question it, does not challenge it, spins it. | ||
| Now listen to this spin. | ||
| It's gorgeous. | ||
| Excellent. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And it just looks kind of spooky, you know? | |
| I hear you, sir. | ||
| Hey, right here in Austin, Texas, they've announced that it's a basic concentration camp at Robert Mueller Airport. | ||
| Anybody that lives in Central Texas, go take a look at it. | ||
| Former military officer and former police officer, retired gentleman that owns, well, let's just say a company. | ||
| He does services for the military. | ||
| I've known the guy for years. | ||
| So there again is another person who is not named, but look, hey, I don't want to say, you know, I can figure it out. | ||
| He's a retired gentleman. | ||
| Former police officer, former military guy, retired, what? | ||
| Like, I don't know. | ||
| Power plant guy? | ||
| Owns some shit. | ||
| And then he does some consulting work for the government. | ||
| Yeah, and also, I think where I paused the clip, we might end up swallowing it, but he says also, he's a good Christian man. | ||
| Oh, well, he's known him for years, so he has to be a good Christian man. | ||
| So anyway, here's what he had to say. | ||
| But you see what I'm saying? | ||
| This guy calls in with some crazy bullshit. | ||
| And then instead of being like, well, I don't think that means anything. | ||
| I appreciate the call, but let's not worry about this for now. | ||
| He says, I hear you, brother. | ||
| Now also, there's concentration camps in Austin. | ||
| He said there's concentration camps. | ||
| What a dick. | ||
| Anybody in Central Texas should go see them? | ||
| Why? | ||
| Why should they go see them? | ||
| It's a concentration camp. | ||
| It's easier to end up in it. | ||
| You just walk up like, hey guys, looks like you got a great concentration going on. | ||
| If it was real, and you were a real Alex Jones who wasn't full of shit, the message would be stay the fuck away from them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| You're a citizen. | ||
| Don't go over there. | ||
| It's dangerous. | ||
| But instead, he's like, go look at it yourself. | ||
| But that's a great way of signaling it exists. | ||
| You shouldn't actually go there, but you could know that it's there because you could walk up there. | ||
| But you're too smart. | ||
| You're one of my listeners. | ||
| And if you believe what I'm saying, you should go there and wind up in the concentration camp. | ||
| It's condescension dog whistling in some ways. | ||
| It's just like, you know, you're fine. | ||
| Don't confirm it, but you can't. | ||
| Don't confirm it. | ||
| You're fine. | ||
| Basically, concentration camp? | ||
| Clip's not done. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Standing, individual, happily married Christian man. | ||
| He told me two nights ago that he was out at Fort Hood during the day doing work, where I know he is routinely the largest army base in America. | ||
| Also, it really seems at this point we could figure out who he is. | ||
| Someone would know. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| If this guy is actually telling Alex something he shouldn't know, he should be dead. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He has just identified him. | ||
| To someone. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| He's not being discreet at all. | ||
| But I think he's making up a person. | ||
| See, well, yeah. | ||
| I mean, if you're going to go, like, in the Washington Post, whenever they did that terrible article, they still went just, like, anonymous. | ||
| Government officials or like intelligence officials, right? | ||
| You're talking about the power plant hacking from last week. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| They said anonymous intelligence officials. | ||
| They didn't say anonymous intelligence officials who I've known for many, many years, who we go golfing every now and then. | ||
| Who has a tendency to wear herringbone suits. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Has a wonderful wife named Felicia. | ||
| Good Christian man. | ||
| Two kids, one girl, one boy. | ||
| Yeah, he narrows it down so specifically. | ||
| Likes to drink lemon in his mouth. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Fuck off. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, but that's what you do when you lie. | ||
| Like, whenever we were kids, whenever you'd lie, you'd come up with a more creative story than the truth. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| That's kind of... | ||
| Details, when they're unnecessary, kind of mean you're lying. | ||
| Yeah, that's how you know that your girlfriend is having an affair on you. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| An affair on you. | ||
| I accept it. | ||
| You are sleeping, and then she just starts fucking on top of you, and you're like, am I involved? | ||
| And that's a no. | ||
| No, you're the cuck. | ||
| Like all the libtards. | ||
| You're a progtard. | ||
| It's progtard now. | ||
| I forgot. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| And there were giant trains, just long lines of trains with flat cars loaded with APCs and LAVs. | ||
| That's armored personnel carriers and light armored vehicles. | ||
| The marine type, just all over the place. | ||
| They have flatbed trailers. | ||
| They have large cattle trailer type situations, navy blue or black, lined up. | ||
| Or maybe red or maybe green. | ||
| They look like flatbed trucks. | ||
| Have you ever seen a flatbed truck? | ||
| Turns out that's a military vehicle. | ||
| Hey, Alex, this is your producer. | ||
| Color is not super important at this point. | ||
| Gonna have to just tell you. | ||
| Hey, keep on... | ||
| Keep on, message. | ||
| You could have just said light armored vehicle and been done. | ||
| Done. | ||
| That would have been... | ||
| That actually is legitimately scary if you see all of these lightly armored vehicles. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, like, say, a car with a lot of phone books in the lining? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| That's a lightly armored vehicle? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's pretty scary to see. | ||
| Somebody's doing some shit if they've got that. | ||
| But, like, in my 32 years of life... | ||
| On a number of occasions, I have seen... | ||
| Could you provide more details to you being 32? | ||
| I don't actually believe you. | ||
| I like lemon in my water. | ||
| I'm running out of specifics. | ||
| I spent it all on that last... | ||
| My knees began to hurt around 29. It turns out that most people, they hurt at 30, but I'm an early bloomer. | ||
| I became aware of my cross-eye at 6. That was exactly 26 years ago. | ||
| When you bring math into it, then you're fucked. | ||
| I have seen large convoys of military machinery being moved. | ||
| It's never been a suspicious thing. | ||
| Sometimes you've got to move machinery. | ||
| I like... | ||
| Sometimes I do have this... | ||
| And sometimes you make shit up. | ||
| I have this fun fantasy. | ||
| Anytime you see one of those giant windmill trucks that carry those windmill blades that are forever across, I do have this tendency to look at it and be like, that's a big fucking plane. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is. | |
| That's a big fucking plane. | ||
| I want to give you two options. | ||
| Do you want to go for something scary? | ||
| Or do you want to go to a commercial break? | ||
| Well, we just did something scary, so we've got to go to a commercial break. | ||
| Alright, we will go to our next commercial break, and this is... | ||
| Do you actually hear, it's alright, because we're saved by the bell! | ||
| Oh, I thought you were going with Kenny Loggins. | ||
| I'm alright. | ||
| Don't nobody worry about Y2K. | ||
| If I'm going to reference Kenny Loggins, you better believe it's going to be Danger Zone. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Weak. | |
| Weak. | ||
| So this is pretty much all the evidence you need. | ||
| This commercial, how shitty it is, how offensive it is, that the name of the game is scaring people to sell things. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Oh, that's some scary-ass fucking music right there. | ||
| Now we've got to start over. | ||
| Control yourself. | ||
| I'm sorry, I'm sorry. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Many of you have been preparing for the worst of times, putting away storable foods and water. | |
| Which is what the last commercial told you to do. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| But. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But... | |
| This makes perfect sense. | ||
| We at Midas Resources urge you to consider the possibility of having to flee for your lives. | ||
| Though the very prospect of this sounds grim, the possibilities are more than remote. | ||
| Asian countries now having long-range nuclear bombs, a politically unstable Russia, and an increasing presence of NATO here on U.S. soil could spark a ground war in the West. | ||
| Wait, NATO is going to spark a ground war because they're on U.S. soil? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Okay, now... | ||
| I think that's an irresponsible ad. | ||
| That was trying to sell gold, by the way. | ||
| But, well, yeah, it's the Midas. | ||
| Midas resources. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| No, it doesn't get more gold bullshit than that. | ||
| So the guy... | ||
| But here's, real quick... | ||
| If that was how they sold iPods in the 90s, goddammit, I would have bought so many iPods. | ||
| NATO is coming off that American soil. | ||
| You're going to need something to listen to in the apocalypse. | ||
| Get this iPod touch. | ||
| It holds all the songs, man. | ||
| That was Midas Resources, which is a company owned by a guy named Mr. Anderson, who is also the guy who owns GCN. | ||
| A former police officer and military commander who is also a good Christian. | ||
| Also in The Matrix. | ||
| This is when The Matrix came out, right? | ||
| It was 1999 or was it 98? | ||
| Might have been 2000. | ||
| I swear it was in the 90s. | ||
| Could be. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| Unimportant. | ||
| Anyway, this guy owns... | ||
|
unidentified
|
At this point, literally anything is more important. | |
| This guy owns GCN, the Genesis Communications Network, which broadcasts Alex Jones' show, and he also owns Midas Resources, which is the people who sell gold. | ||
| Synergy. | ||
| And Alex Jones also is a part owner in the Gold Sales Consortium. | ||
| Excellent. | ||
| I'm assuming that they disclose this conflict of interest at the beginning of every episode. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
| They don't ever disclose this conflict of interest? | ||
| Not even when Anderson was on the show. | ||
| As a guest. | ||
| He was on and they talked about how great an investment gold was. | ||
| And they don't even talk about how they're all in a rat king of financial entanglements. | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| Yeah, but I feel like now that is literally every media conglomerate, right? | ||
| It's not as overt as this. | ||
| Yeah, well, no, that's intense. | ||
| And also, I mentioned this on the last episode, and I think it's important to bring back up. | ||
| Midas Resources is the company that now sells the weird health products. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| You can go to their website. | ||
| It's midasresources.com. | ||
| The health products that turn you to gold! | ||
| And are created and supported and vouched for by a veterinarian. | ||
| By Dr. Wallach. | ||
| Veterinarian. | ||
| I love you, Dr. Spaceman! | ||
| I actually did some research into him between episodes because I wanted to confirm that I wasn't talking shit. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I'm not. | ||
| No. | ||
| But the thing that I also found out that I feel really bad about is that Hugh and I went to the same college. | ||
| No shit! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| We're both alumni of the University of Missouri. | ||
| I felt so bad. | ||
| Now, here's the question you never answered. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Is he a good veterinarian? | ||
| I think he's the best. | ||
| What if he's a really good veterinarian? | ||
| Who gives a shit? | ||
| Well, no. | ||
| I'm more likely to buy bullshit products from a veterinarian who's super good at veterinarian. | ||
| He did study dietary medicine in college. | ||
| Or not dietary medicine. | ||
| In your same program? | ||
| I don't own the college. | ||
| I just went there and I barely graduated. | ||
| Let's be clear. | ||
| That's better than me. | ||
| I never graduated shit. | ||
| Let's be clear. | ||
| It took me five years and I had to come up with a fake major to do it. | ||
| So, I got out. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| Did you call it veterinary medicine? | ||
| I wish I was Dr. fucking Wallach. | ||
| He's way richer than me. | ||
| I am fucking broke. | ||
| He's basically... | ||
| But that's the same shit that Dr. Oz does. | ||
| Like, he's not better than Dr. Oz. | ||
| No, but I'm not douching for either of them. | ||
| Yeah, he's not worse than Dr. Oz. | ||
| Oh, that reminds me. | ||
| If you're listening... | ||
| We are now on iTunes. | ||
| Oh, shit! | ||
| Subscribe to our podcast to hear crazy bullshit. | ||
| I have set up... | ||
| This is a podcast now. | ||
| Last episode was just on YouTube, but now if you subscribe... | ||
| You can get that episode and future episodes now on iTunes. | ||
| Yeah, and I don't want to say, because I would never say this, but I don't want to say that we're the only source of information. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But we're the best. | |
| We're the only source that gives to you this focus. | ||
| So focused. | ||
| So focused. | ||
| Also, you can follow us on Twitter at knowledge underscore fight dot com. | ||
| At knowledge underscore fight. | ||
| We couldn't get knowledge fight? | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Who's got it? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I didn't look, but then also I was trying to get Knowledge Fight 69. But it's too many letters. | ||
| That would be fucking great. | ||
| It's too many letters. | ||
| You can only get one number past Knowledge Fight. | ||
| Oh. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I was like, fuck. | |
| So Knowledge underscore Fight on Twitter. | ||
| What else? | ||
| If you want to email us, you can email us at knowledgefight at gmail.com. | ||
| We've got all of it. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| So we've got some social media presence. | ||
| And I think this really came about because you were talking about it where it's like, you know, if we get a lot of viewers on the YouTubes... | ||
| And you said that specifically. | ||
| You said YouTubes. | ||
| Let's be clear. | ||
| We did not get a lot of videos. | ||
| We got a few! | ||
| But that's what I'm saying. | ||
| It quickly spiraled out of control for you, where it's like, this has to be a fucking podcast. | ||
| I just love doing it too much. | ||
| But at the same time, I did get a lot of positive feedback from people on Twitter and emails and stuff like that. | ||
| So I did hear back from a lot of people who really enjoyed it. | ||
| So I don't want to provide for that. | ||
| But also, we're not done. | ||
| Oh, no! | ||
| Are we done? | ||
| Do you want to put some Saved by the Bell music? | ||
| Could you edit in some Saved by the Bell music while we were doing that? | ||
| I'm all right. | ||
| Don't nobody worry about me. | ||
| I'm just going to sing some Kenny Loggins. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| No, we're not done. | ||
| I just realized that I forgot to say that up top. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Might as well do it now. | ||
| Great podcasting. | ||
| So now, unfortunately... | ||
| Experienced podcaster Dan Friesen. | ||
| Unfortunately, I have some bad news, Jordan. | ||
| What's that? | ||
| Well, I'll tell you this. | ||
| the russians that the breath and they now reserve the park strike right for no reason to hit us says he will absorb the first strike he's such a good little communist well he's good i hope that one of those five missiles that it works in place and not mine Well, first of all, if you are going to do a nuclear first strike, if you pick Austin first, you have no idea where anybody in America is. | ||
| Well, if you are smart... | ||
| Okay. | ||
| You know. | ||
| You take out Alex Jones first? | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Because he's the only one. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| All right. | ||
| He's the head of the Patriots. | ||
| You understand. | ||
| And without him, he's the bellwether. | ||
| As goes Alex Jones, so goes the nation. | ||
| The very first words were, they reserved the right to first strike. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Can you just do that? | ||
| I feel like if you're going to first strike, you don't reserve the right. | ||
| You don't call the restaurant in advance and be like, hey. | ||
| I'm gonna give you the signal that I'm gonna take the first strike. | ||
| Wouldn't you surprise people? | ||
| You're going to bomb a restaurant? | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| Well, I mean, that's where Clinton's going to be. | ||
| Oh, yeah, of course. | ||
| He loves restaurants. | ||
| Back then, he was still fat. | ||
| Yeah, this is back whenever Clinton was fat. | ||
| Well, is it? | ||
| No, he went out of office in 2000. | ||
| He had gotten a little bit trim by then. | ||
| Yeah, but now he's fucking... | ||
| He's a good-looking man. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So you might have been asking yourself there, what is he talking about? | ||
| What's this five missiles thing? | ||
| Were you asking yourself that? | ||
| I have never asked myself. | ||
| I love that more. | ||
| So, like, they're talking about this, like, they reserve the right for first strike, and then this other voice comes in, his co-host, and he's like, I hope those five missiles are coming towards Clinton's house. | ||
| Oh, that was a different voice. | ||
| Yeah, that was his co-host, which actually, he has got a fucking gorgeous line a little bit later. | ||
| Okay, I'm excited. | ||
| You might be curious about this, and this is the narrative that takes over the sort of... | ||
| Wait, but one more second. | ||
| One more second for this one. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Clinton said he would absorb the first strike. | ||
| Well, we would. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Well, I mean, not him personally. | ||
| It's not just him. | ||
| He's not Dr. Reed. | ||
| Or he's not just some guy jumping on a grenade. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| This is unconventional, but I propose we have a cigarette inside. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| It's gotten to that point. | ||
| All righty. | ||
| Let's do this. | ||
| We're the only podcast who brings it to you this concentrated. | ||
| Yeah, we're so focused that we're explaining to you we're about to light up cigarettes. | ||
| You know... | ||
| Actually, I do have... | ||
| At this time in a conversation, I like to smoke Patriot brand cigarettes. | ||
| Also, a part of it is that we got a long clip coming up. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Might as well have... | ||
| Hey, guys, here's what I'm saying. | ||
| Smoke them if you got them. | ||
| That's my way of saying it. | ||
| This is the only podcast that advocates smoking. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| As a smoker. | ||
| I suggest teenagers start it. | ||
| We're brought to you by R.J. Reynolds and George Soros. | ||
| So here you go. | ||
| This is a little bit of an explanation of what he was talking about with those five missiles. | ||
|
unidentified
|
For the call, Don, we appreciate it. | |
| We've got to jump on ahead to a guy here who tells us that there are currently missiles being launched. | ||
| And where did you hear that from, Blake? | ||
| Well, let's bring him in. | ||
| It's Scott from Illinois. | ||
| Scott, thanks for stopping by. | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| How are you doing? | ||
| ABC just had a special under saying that... | ||
| They had the guy in front of the command center in Cheyenne Mountain, a general out there, saying that early in the day that there was five missiles that were launched. | ||
| He wouldn't say where they were. | ||
| Funny you didn't hear about that. | ||
| Pardon? | ||
| I said it's kind of funny you didn't hear about that one. | ||
| I mean, you know, five missiles got launched, and a general is out in front of Cheyenne Mountain. | ||
| Yeah, well, this was just about five minutes ago they said it on Channel 7. Well, they didn't happen to mention which direction they were going or where they were coming from. | ||
| Well, one of the reporters asked where they were coming from, where they were going to, what kind of missiles, and he said, I can't give out that information. | ||
| So, first of all, I want to say this. | ||
| That feels like some pretty important information to give out. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I think that... | ||
| Why couldn't you give out that information? | ||
| Because I don't think that this actually happened. | ||
| No, well, I feel like if there was a history book that didn't have that in it, that would be a bad history book. | ||
| Well, I think that it's probably a mass misinterpretation of an actual news report. | ||
| And we'll get to why I believe that in a second. | ||
| But I think that there was a news report and a bunch of people misinterpreted it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Well, yeah, I mean, they would have to have misinterpreted. | ||
| The reason I wanted to take a pause was because I wanted to give the co-host his first of two props that I'm going to give him. | ||
| I don't know who he is. | ||
| I don't know his name. | ||
| But he... | ||
| I like that... | ||
| It's Jalex owns. | ||
| I like the idea of him being like... | ||
| Hey, it's funny you didn't hear about that. | ||
| Because it sounds like he's contesting the story. | ||
| He's really almost... | ||
| He's on the edge of being like, Hey, we didn't hear about that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe... | |
| And then he's like, Tell us more! | ||
| But also, he's almost invalidating the story. | ||
| He's close to it. | ||
| Because he's like, Funny you didn't hear about that. | ||
| But that's not actually... | ||
| He got a message in his ear saying, You're dangerously close to pissing off all... | ||
| 200,000 of our viewers. | ||
| And he capitulates right here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
God forbid you tell anybody before they get nuked. | |
| We can't trust the American people with that information. | ||
| If this is true, just like the special operations training with Russians in South Texas when they're burning buildings and laying siege to towns, all part of routine training, of course. | ||
| That's Red Dot! | ||
| He just read Red Dot! | ||
| We can't tell the American people, but we've got to have Russian special forces in the NORAD defense bunkers and systems. | ||
| You know, that's all public news. | ||
| Because we can trust the Russians. | ||
| They're good people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, of course they are. | |
| The Russians are my friends. | ||
| I've always felt that way starting back in grade school. | ||
| And they told us we've got to hide underneath the desk because of our friends over there in the Soviet Union. | ||
| Well, when Vladimir is not threatening to nuke us or Yeltsin isn't, or if it's not Jiang Jemin, president of the Chi-Coms. | ||
| So, they spin out there a little bit. | ||
| Yeah, they lost the threat. | ||
| But that's what happens. | ||
| They get this news. | ||
| Also, he got it five minutes ago. | ||
| Five minutes ago. | ||
| From anonymous caller. | ||
| First at the Cheyenne Mountains. | ||
| In Colorado. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Where the only guy who has, like, what? | ||
| What does he have that is like, oh, shit, I can detect five missiles. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
| He said that someone on CNN said that. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| I thought he was talking about the general who refused to be named. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| This caller is saying that on CNN they're reporting that. | ||
| Five minutes ago. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And the first thing he did was call this show. | ||
| Right. | ||
| To tell them. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So he got through immediately, which, as we all know, is how radio shows work. | ||
| They just answer the phone like a big red phone. | ||
| He's got a giant Batman phone. | ||
| That he just pulls up and gets a direct line to Jalex owns. | ||
| Let's imagine they're actually screening calls. | ||
| And if they are, then, you know, I got missile news. | ||
| You're getting to the front of the line. | ||
| I got missile news. | ||
| We got missile news. | ||
| So a little bit later, we get this call from another weirdo. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How's that, boy? | |
| Hey, I'm verifying what that fella said. | ||
| I do have a TV in his camp. | ||
| That general was at Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado Springs, and he shocked even the news network personnel there, Peter Jennings. | ||
| He said that he was shocked by what he said. | ||
| All right, that's it. | ||
| I've got to get serious. | ||
| I'll be back in two minutes. | ||
| I'm going to put ABC on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Three. | |
| You do that, you mainstream sucker. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No? | |
| I mean, if they're launching missiles and they're announcing it... | ||
| Oh, sure, sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All the time. | |
| Did they just go to break? | ||
| Five missiles have been launched? | ||
| We can't tell you from where or where they're going? | ||
| So, I love that, first of all, the co-host is like, you mainstream suck-up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| I love that. | ||
| So, just the fact that this guy heard something on CNN means he's a mainstream suck-up, right? | ||
| No, he's talking to Alex. | ||
| Oh, he's talking to Alex! | ||
| And I love the idea that, like, at this point in Infowars history, the co-host can fucking bust Alex's balls. | ||
| I love that. | ||
| He's like, oh, you're gonna go check in with CNN, you mainstream fuck. | ||
| I love that. | ||
| I wonder why that co-host is no longer with us. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He had a movie deal. | ||
| Vladimir the Ruthless? | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| So, we got a caller who's in a camp. | ||
| That was, yeah, the camp. | ||
| Well, but that's what we start to realize, too, is that all of these callers, a lot of these callers, are coming from... | ||
| Camps. | ||
| ...weird patriot types. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Militia folk. | ||
| If you will. | ||
| They are a History Channel special waiting to happen. | ||
| Once we're out of the woods. | ||
| So he's got a TV in the camp that he has tuned to ABC. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Why not watch the mainstream media even if you don't believe them? | ||
| Is this still back when there were only four channels? | ||
| I don't remember 1999. | ||
| Is this whenever you have CNN and PBS and that's basically it? | ||
| Well, PBS does come up in a little bit. | ||
| Excellent. | ||
| No, there were a number of stations. | ||
| I'm guessing that PBS comes up in a very positive way. | ||
| Very. | ||
| So we finish out this sort of weird narrative of the missiles here. | ||
| Five missiles! | ||
| We don't know where they're fired from or where they're going. | ||
| We just know there are five missiles somewhere. | ||
| I love Alex Jones responding to the news with, alright, I gotta get serious. | ||
| Alright, you haven't been this whole time? | ||
| It's time to get serious. | ||
| You dick. | ||
| Let's kill a human. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So here we go. | ||
| This introduces, this is another caller, and he introduces an organization that, this is great. | ||
| I just, here we go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're going to jump to Mark Kornke calling in from Michigan. | |
| How are you, Mark? | ||
| Hey, guys. | ||
| Sounds like we've been busy. | ||
| First of all, the ABC report did have a NORAD commander who came up and online as part of the Space Command specifically talking about... | ||
| Space Command. | ||
| Space Command. | ||
| I've got to pull this back a little bit. | ||
| Space Command. | ||
| Space Command. | ||
| On the moon, right? | ||
| He believes it's on the moon. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| Space Command. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Space Command. | |
| A NORAD guy from Space Command. | ||
| Space Command? | ||
| It's like, they're like, yeah, there's this guy from Galaxy Quest. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Tony Shalhoub came on the news. | ||
| This is when Alan Rickman still roamed the Earth as a god. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So here we go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Specifically talking about... | |
| Space Command has taken over all the services. | ||
| Yep, as Alex Jones is reporting. | ||
| The Arkansas Department of Transportation, they've taken over all of the lightly armored vehicles. | ||
| All of it. | ||
| All of the fucking cars. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Meanwhile, we can't forget that ATMs are running out of money all over the world. | ||
| Gas is out in Austin. | ||
| How would you know they're running out of money all over the world? | ||
| Because Alex is telling you. | ||
| Also, are there ATMs? | ||
| There are ATMs all over the world. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No, that is true. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I feel like that was the most ignorant thing I've ever said. | ||
| That was the most America-centric thing. | ||
| But I'm glad you checked in. | ||
| Part of me was like, I feel like ATMs only exist in Chicago, right? | ||
| But I'm glad that you didn't present it as, this is dumb because ATMs don't exist in Europe. | ||
| Or something like that, which is what Alex would do. | ||
| No, well, I didn't think... | ||
| So my specific thought at that moment was like, really? | ||
| There's ATMs in Uganda in 1999? | ||
| Maybe not. | ||
| And I would bet there are. | ||
| In some cities, yeah, but not widespread. | ||
| It was just a dumb thought that released from my brain before I allowed it to stop. | ||
| So anyway, Space Command has taken over. | ||
| Space Command! | ||
| Command running everything. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Actually, about two years ago, we got hold of a lot of their patches. | |
| So don't worry, guys. | ||
| We can look just like them when the time comes. | ||
| So this is a guy who's in a militia. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
| And he has gotten Space Command patches. | ||
| Now we're in Star Trek territory. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| We have insignias. | ||
| So... | ||
| So just by wearing a patch, you can infiltrate Space Command? | ||
| Now you can look like him. | ||
| Space Command is very lax in their security. | ||
| Now this is a pre-9-11 world, so Space Command is unworried about terrorism. | ||
| Pre-9-11 Space Command. | ||
| Which is the name of my second rap album. | ||
| Okay, that's a good one. | ||
| I also want to kick my own ass for making album name jokes. | ||
| That's so hacky. | ||
| I apologize about it. | ||
| Um, yeah. | ||
| You know what would be better if I just said pre-9-11 Space Command? | ||
| That's a great collection of words. | ||
| That's really what I meant to say. | ||
| That is the least hacky joke you can make. | ||
| The just, like, borderline non-observation. | ||
| So the militia member rambles on for a little bit, but, uh... | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're not joking. | |
| We actually do have everything I saw in his uniform we already picked up. | ||
| We look just like these guys if you want to. | ||
| So you're just saying we can look like these guys. | ||
| We can blend in. | ||
| We look just like these guys if you want. | ||
| So he's combining Red Dawn with They Live. | ||
| And Nukes. | ||
| And Space Command. | ||
| And Space Command. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay, I can't get past Space Command. | ||
| It's pretty tough. | ||
| I want to engage with everything else he's saying, but where and who and how does Space Command come about? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'm going to Google it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| If you Google Space Command, you're not going to get something other than Star Trek. | ||
| Well, I got the North American Aerospace Defense Command. | ||
| Okay, so let's call that Space Command. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| What do they do? | ||
| I'm looking this up on Wikipedia here. | ||
| Space Command. | ||
| Oh, fuck. | ||
| It is in Colorado Springs. | ||
| No shit! | ||
| We're the idiots! | ||
| Oh my god! | ||
| Or we're not. | ||
| It's not called Space Command. | ||
| Yeah, but it's close. | ||
| If it was real... | ||
| It would totally be shortened to Space Command, right? | ||
| Just like the Affordable Care Act was shortened to Obamacare. | ||
| Yeah, you know what? | ||
| Let's be entirely fair. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Space Command is a silly name, but it is what you would think. | ||
| We're 100% wrong on this, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| We're not 100% wrong. | ||
| We're wrong in making fun of the name. | ||
| We're not even wrong in making fun of the name. | ||
| No, not in making fun of the name. | ||
| We were making fun of the name in a complete disbelief of like... | ||
| Our head was going towards this guy thought it was on the moon, like Moonraker. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, yeah. | ||
| But, I mean, the North American Aerospace Defense Command is just NORAD. | ||
| So NORAD, a slang term for that would be Space Command, I guess. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| So we're now 100% right again. | ||
| We're in the middle. | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| I mean, we... | ||
| I do. | ||
| If we're going to be anti-Alex Jones, we, one, need to admit when we're wrong. | ||
| And then need to bounce back and admit that we are actually right all the time. | ||
| I'm okay with that. | ||
| Because history has borne out that we're, first of all, not wrong. | ||
| And second of all, Space Command didn't take over everything. | ||
| See, there, you know what? | ||
| How can we be sure? | ||
| Yeah, I guess we can't, you know? | ||
| I mean, when you start to see the Arkansas Department of Transportation on the road... | ||
| Third-hand sources are telling us that... | ||
| These people might have signs. | ||
| My girlfriend knows someone. | ||
| She still doesn't believe me, but she knows somebody. | ||
| No, she didn't believe me, but now she does. | ||
| Now she does? | ||
| I feel like he said that she wasn't on board yet. | ||
| Nope, she was. | ||
| At every point in the future, not on board. | ||
| Now, she has a friend who told her about signs. | ||
| Now she's on board. | ||
| Signs, signs. | ||
| Anyway, here's... | ||
| Everywhere there's signs. | ||
| Here's something scary. | ||
| That Space Command has taken over. | ||
| I don't remember exactly what this clip is, but it's scary. | ||
| And then we'll wrap things up here in a second with an explanation of why you don't know about any of this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| I mean, I read Yeltsin and Jiang Zemin's quotes, the dictator of China in there. | ||
| They're saying, we'll nuke you. | ||
| I mean, they spell it out. | ||
| We will hit you with nuclear weapons. | ||
| We reserve the right to hit you. | ||
| Three weeks ago, their head of other missile forces said, we reserve the right to nuke you first. | ||
| Their currency is plunging. | ||
| The Egyptian pound is plunging against the dollar, the Japanese yen, the Deutsche Mark, and just all of it. | ||
| And the same thing is starting to develop here in America. | ||
| Many of the gas stations here in Austin have the little gloves over the pumps saying they're out of fuel. | ||
| You never see this in Austin, Texas. | ||
| Right here in South Austin, I've seen several stations. | ||
| We don't know. | ||
| This is just Y2K that was here. | ||
| Not sure what that means, also. | ||
| Y2K was here? | ||
| We don't know if it was Y2K that was here, like it's a hurricane. | ||
| That is a bathroom stall that he saw that on right there. | ||
| For Y2K, call. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| All right. | ||
| This clip isn't done. | ||
| Oh, how can this clip not be done? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Sorry. | ||
| Just bizarre behavior. | ||
| Americans standing up as Russia threatens to attack us with nuclear weapons, as nuclear power plants, at least one, are being shut down, as the military runs around with the police and the FBI saying terrorism is imminent, and some would characterize us as dangerous because we report the facts. | ||
| Absolutely out of control. | ||
| How fucking awesome is that last sentence? | ||
| Absolutely out of control. | ||
| How fucking amazing is it? | ||
| Some people would think they were dangerous because we report the facts. | ||
| Facts are dangerous. | ||
| That's a true adage from all the time ago. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Okay, so... | ||
| China and Russia have reserved the right to first strike us with nuclear weapons. | ||
| Now, let's leave that as being an insane sentence on its own. | ||
| But why would they do that? | ||
| Does he ever give an explanation for why they would do the first strike? | ||
| Because wouldn't it not be a first strike if they didn't have a reason for it? | ||
| But their only reason is that Clinton has already said that we'll absorb the first strike. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Or whatever. | ||
| Because he's a pussy communist. | ||
| So that's what he's basically saying, is that because Clinton is willing to not destroy the world, they now know that they can destroy the world. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So even then, right? | ||
| So they do the first strike. | ||
| It's not like... | ||
| Are you wargaming this thing? | ||
| I'm wargaming it, yeah. | ||
| Because I am in... | ||
| In the movie War Games. | ||
| So they do the first strike. | ||
| I have a small Matthew Broderick role in all Matthew Broderick movies. | ||
| You're War Games-ing, I'm Red Donning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, okay. | |
| Wolverines! | ||
| I'm shocked they didn't yell that at some point. | ||
| I swear, yeah. | ||
| Because this is all straight out of Red Dawn. | ||
| A lot of it. | ||
| Which is ironic because Red Dawn is basically the, like, hey, this is what we're doing to other countries. | ||
| It's ironic. | ||
| Born in the USA. | ||
| This is how hypocritical we are. | ||
| But, fucking Jordan, get to your war games. | ||
| Don't get sidetracked. | ||
| I'm always getting sidetracked by this. | ||
| That's our nature. | ||
| They put so much to dig into in one sentence. | ||
| I don't understand how they do it. | ||
| Yeah, it's like a protein pellet. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| It's so compact. | ||
| It's like a perfect male virility pill. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, have you tried male virility pills? | ||
| It's super male vitality now available. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Ladies get super female vitality now available at Infowarsstore.com. | ||
| I'm giving them plugs. | ||
| Who does this shit? | ||
| All right, all right. | ||
| So, because Clinton is a pussy, and their currency is dropping, along with the Deutsche Mark, which, okay. | ||
| And the Egyptian pound. | ||
| And the Egyptian pound, and the Japanese yen. | ||
| But those are neither of the two countries that are going to first strike us. | ||
| So, so... | ||
| They're going to first strike us. | ||
| Japan ostensibly is our ally. | ||
| Egypt is maybe a rogue actor at this point. | ||
| So they first strike us, and they take out all of us? | ||
| Austin. | ||
| Just Austin. | ||
| So does he not understand the mutually assured destruction kind of idea there? | ||
| Well, but if they take out the right places, then we have no capability to respond. | ||
| Do you not think that we've thought of that? | ||
| Uh, no. | ||
| I think we've thought of that. | ||
| You think that we've put all of our missiles in D.C.? | ||
| I'm a little bit red wine drunk, and I'm confident that we've always thought of that. | ||
| I'm 100% sure. | ||
| I am pretty sure only New York, only our largest population centers have nuclear weapons, because that makes perfect sense. | ||
| I don't even think that they have them in them. | ||
| No, I feel like they do. | ||
| I think that strategically you'd want to place them in other places. | ||
| I think you'd want to put them... | ||
| See, that's what you're missing, alright? | ||
| All of China's nuclear weapons are in Beijing. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| All of Russia's nuclear weapons are in Moscow. | ||
| That is where you would build them. | ||
| But then, once you've built them, you can move them and station them other places. | ||
| Right? | ||
| I mean... | ||
| Oh. | ||
| That had not occurred to me, or either of those governments, or the U.S. government. | ||
| Oh, shit. | ||
| So, somehow, you have outsmarted... | ||
| I don't know what's going on right now. | ||
| Alright, so you might be asking yourself a little bit. | ||
| So, this is the problem with this episode. | ||
| At no point does anybody break down after the five missiles and say, it's time to pray. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| But you know what they do do? | ||
| Never get to the bottom of it. | ||
| There's never a point where they're like, hey, that was bullshit, sorry about that. | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| Nothing like that. | ||
| Just move along to the next thing to be really afraid of. | ||
| Do they ever get to the Y2K bug as being the... | ||
| So they're saying the apocalypse is coming because of Y2K. | ||
| Do they ever at any point make you afraid of Y2K? | ||
| Not really. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| That seems like a bad Y2K episode. | ||
| No, because it's all about the globalists using the Y2K bug idea in order to push their agenda and create false flag activity. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Now, you might be asking yourself... | ||
| I would love to be asking myself any number of questions. | ||
| Why are we finding all of these truths? | ||
| All of these power plants? | ||
| All of these people dying in Chechnya, the 100,000 people dying in Chechnya, all of the... | ||
| The five missiles. | ||
| The gas being out everywhere. | ||
| The five missiles. | ||
| In Austin, which never happens. | ||
| The water being off the shelves everywhere. | ||
| The power grid going down various places. | ||
| The shortwave radio going down. | ||
| The North Pole. | ||
| Why doesn't everyone know? | ||
| I want to know why everybody doesn't know. | ||
| We got an answer. | ||
| Flipping around, and they weren't really giving us any news about the mass Y2K problems that are being reported across the globe that are being covered up in mainstream media and relegated to the back pages of the newswires. | ||
| But I'm flipping around, and on PBS, you're locally in town. | ||
| I don't know if it's on in other areas around the country, but on public broadcasting, the elite likes to see their garbage. | ||
| They were going, we worship the sun. | ||
| We worship Anthem. | ||

I mean, this is out of control. | |
| Two nights ago, Wednesday night on Fox News, they showed the old airport, Robert Mueller, right in the middle of town. | ||
| He used to live in Austin. | ||
| Michael, you know how big it is. | ||
| They shut this thing down three months ago, even though the new airport wasn't done, wasn't completed. | ||
| And they go, here are the new hangars and the payment facilities for any troublemakers during the new millennium. | ||
| Rioters or kooks or terrorists. | ||
| And they show these barbed wire fences, chain link fences inside of the hangars, Michael, and shackles on the ground, concreted. | ||
| Into the ground. | ||
| Like something out of a slave galley or something that you would see 3,000 years ago. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like slave only happened 3,000 years ago. | |
| As if that's the point that we need to discuss. | ||
| Well, to Texas, in their defense, slavery did happen 3,000 years ago. | ||
| Clip is amazing because it's basically being like, why aren't you hearing about this stuff? | ||
| The media's covering it up. | ||
| But then we gotta not dwell on that, which seems to be the main point. | ||
| Does seem to be the main point. | ||
| No, we gotta talk about this airport hangar again. | ||
| Also, PBS... | ||
| But only in Austin. | ||
| Well, because the elites like to see their garbage. | ||
| The elites like to see their garbage. | ||
| They're sun worshippers. | ||
| That was the crazy... | ||
| They worshipped the sun! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Is that even close to a reference to solar power? | ||
| Or is that just a dude saying... | ||
| I think it's about, like, Illuminati shit. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Alright, alright. | ||
| So, we're talking Bilderberg and all the whole... | ||
| Every Illuminati... | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Also, by the way, if you guys want some fun, Look into the real story of Alex Jones breaking into the Bohemian Grove. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| He broke into the Bohemian Grove. | ||
| You don't know about that? | ||
| I do know about the Bohemian Grove, the Bohemian Grove. | ||
| This is how he came into the map. | ||
| That's how he got on the map. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| As a conspiracy theorist. | ||
| All right. | ||
| He broke into Bohemian Grove and videotaped the cremation of care ceremony, which is where they sacrifice an effigy of a baby to the giant stone owl Moloch. | ||
| All right. | ||
| And, yeah, it's insane. | ||
| So he caught them? | ||
| On tape, yeah, yeah. | ||
| He caught them on tape? | ||
| Yeah, there's a documentary about it you can watch. | ||
| I can't believe it's not in the mainstream. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Did PBS pick it up at least? | |
| In Austin. | ||
| Because the elites like to watch their garbage. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So he broke into Bohemian Grove and videotaped this stuff. | ||
| And, I mean, it's weird, but it's not anything that's damning. | ||
| If you watch the actual video, it's fucked up. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's fucked up that they're like... | ||
| They're talking to a giant owl that has Walter Cronkite's voice coming out of it. | ||
| That's pretty great. | ||
| He recorded the vocals for Moloch, the giant stone owl. | ||
| He also recorded the vocals on Young Thug's new album. | ||
| I don't know if you guys have listened to that. | ||
| It's a great album. | ||
| My name is Jeffrey. | ||
| You can hear Walter Cronkite on the back of Pop Man with Wyclef Jean. | ||
|

|
Fools! | |
| That's what Moloch says. | ||

Welcome to Space Command! | |
| Now, one thing to do before we go. | ||
| The Y2K bug. | ||
| If I understood it correctly when it happened, the entire thing was that our computer system didn't understand how to go from the 1900s to the 2000s. | ||
| That was literally everything. | ||
| That was exactly the whole point. | ||
| Everyone's fear was that once it became two instead of one, our computers weren't built to handle that, and because of that, all of our systems would crash. | ||
| So simultaneously, you'd have Wall Street computers crash, everything that ran, everything crashed, every bank would go out. | ||
| So that was the big fear. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Which everyone knew was dumb. | |
| How is it that we're having Y2K problems? | ||
| Before Y2, or before the switch over on the clock. | ||
| What do you mean by that? | ||
| I mean, he's saying that we're having all these Y2K problems on all of these power plants, on all of these, all the planes are in the sky. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But it's not, like, this isn't exactly at the new year, right? | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's tough to argue, or it's tough to figure out, well, I guess, here's what I would say. | ||
| If I were Alex Jones, my defense would be the globalists got sloppy. | ||
| They thought no one would notice it was an hour early. | ||
| That is a great defense. | ||
| Or just time zone. | ||
| Say time zone. | ||
| See, that's what I was... | ||
| That was my whole... | ||
| When Y2K was happening and everybody was panicked about it, I was like, guys, do you know we're not the first ones to get to... | ||
| We'll see what happens with them. | ||
| To the year 2000. | ||
| We can just go back. | ||
| We can watch it. | ||
| If it's a problem. | ||
| Yeah, I think that that would be... | ||
| I mean, that's a very reasonable 13-year-old. | ||
| Meanwhile, we had a 30-year-old screaming in Austin. | ||
| Don't worry, I was an asshole at the time, too. | ||
| I'm sure. | ||
| But, I mean, look, we've heard the clips. | ||
| This is about where we're going to jump off here. | ||
| You guys get a pretty... | ||
| Here's my summation. | ||
| First of all, looking at it as a performer... | ||
| I have to assume Alex the next day was like, that was a bad set. | ||
| Really? | ||
| You think so? | ||
| I have to assume, because he had to know that everything he was saying was verifiably false. | ||
| That is not a bad set, though. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| I'm applying my own standards to him. | ||
| Yeah, you're not measuring a bad set by whether or not you told the truth. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| You're measuring the set by... | ||
| Because you started with this presumption. | ||
| You judge him by the audience's reaction. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And his audience loved it. | ||
| You started with the presumption that he was a journalist, which... | ||
| I do not agree with. | ||
| I'm an idealist. | ||
| The same way that Bill O 'Reilly is not a journalist, he is an entertainer. | ||
| So what he's doing is entertaining his audience, and he fucking nailed it. | ||
| Yeah, probably. | ||
| So that was the greatest set of his life. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| I bet, I bet. | ||
| The night Obama was elected was the greatest set of his life. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| I bet he fucking rocked it. | ||
| Like, he could have been in Madison Square Garden with nothing but the militias and absolutely destroyed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He smells like sulfur. | |
| But then beyond that, I think the clips that we've shown, I've listened to a bunch more than we played. | ||
| It's all just repetitions of the same things. | ||
| So then maybe it was a bad set. | ||
| I think that the indications that we should all take away from this and the lessons we should learn is that at best, I want to give the benefit of the doubt, and Alex Jones is a terrible, terrible person because he sits on the air when he knows that people are scared and he helps them be scared. | ||
| And he takes unverified reports You just described Fox News from 2008. | ||
| That's fair enough, and we'll do another podcast about them in the future. | ||
| Here's what I think we should take away from this episode. | ||
| You can't compare a bad to a bad, you know what I'm saying? | ||
| No, no, you're right. | ||
| Here's what I see in taking away from this episode, right? | ||
| Our first episode, we went with this day, you know? | ||
| Whenever we recorded it, it was that day. | ||
| This is 17 years ago. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It is the same bullshit. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So for however long we've been doing this, he has come at you with the same... | ||
| He's like an apocalypse cult. | ||
| Like, do you remember those guys in the... | ||
| That's super specific. | ||
| I heard this from a friend who saw it on CNN. | ||
| Who heard it from a friend? | ||
| Who heard it from a friend? | ||
| They've been messing around. | ||
| There are a bunch of apocalypse cults that have existed throughout this, throughout America's history. | ||
| And when they're wrong, half of them probably kill themselves. | ||
| But the other half just keep predicting more apocalypses. | ||
| They find new news that changes the date. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Oh, yeah, yeah. | ||
| We were going through the whole Kabbalah thing. | ||
| The Bible told us yada, yada, yada. | ||
| We transversed a variable. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| We got it wrong, but this next one is happening. | ||
| My dad, one of his specializations, he's a religious studies professor, and one of his specializations is revelation and apocalyptic literature. | ||
| And so whenever there are these people who come out... | ||
| Who are saying the end of the world is next week. | ||
| And also people who are closeted and they tell their parents they're gay. | ||
| Whenever they come out. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Whenever these folks tell the world that next week everyone's gay. | ||
| I mixed it all up there. | ||
| Close enough. | ||
| It's the same basic nonsense. | ||
| It happens over and over again. | ||
| And often he'll be asked to comment about it on NPR and stuff like that. | ||
| And thank God he existed because I was a scared child. | ||
| During some of that. | ||
| There were apocalypse scares when I was young. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| And thankfully he was always there to be like, you're 10, I can't really explain it to you, but don't worry. | ||
| But chill the fuck out. | ||
| This is all nonsense. | ||
| And thank God, because it comforted me in a way that if my dad was Alex Jones, he would have scared me. | ||
| That is amazing, because that's a guy who's turned rational. | ||
| For my parents, they lived during, just like that dude was saying, you would go to school and they would show you the day after, which was the scariest movie at the time. | ||
| And then we got Nightmare on Elm Street 3. And they were told to get under the desk, which, oh, so good. | ||
| Delicious. | ||
| As a concept of, like, it doesn't get more pacifying than, like, Your desk is gonna save you. | ||
| Don't worry about it. | ||
| That little bit of wood. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| The walls? | ||
| Garbage. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That little desk? | ||
| Fucking undestructible. | ||
| But here is the other piece of it. | ||
| I know the word is indestructible, by the way. | ||
| That wasn't what I was gonna say. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| The other piece of it is... | ||
| That was more for the listeners. | ||
| If you're an adult and you really believe that a nuke could go off tomorrow, telling kids to get under a desk is the right thing to do. | ||
| Because there's nothing they can do. | ||
| And giving them some sort of agency makes a kid feel like they have control. | ||
| And that is very helpful to a kid. | ||
| That's a very good angle to take on it. | ||
| In terms of parenting, that's the right thing to do. | ||
| Now, as a society, it's the wrong thing to do. | ||
| There were better answers. | ||
| But, I mean, listen, I'm glad that you got this message across the idea that for 17 years it's pretty much been the same thing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But the variables have changed. | ||
| Now Putin's a good guy. | ||
| The enemies change, and that's the illusion of him growing as a broadcaster, is that the boogeymen always change. | ||
| They have to. | ||
| So it makes you feel like he is also still, you know, relevant. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Even though he's using the same exact nonsense. | ||
| Like, he might as well have a script. | ||
| With Mad Libs written in it, and he just writes in whatever's new. | ||
| And for 17 years, he's been doing that exact same thing of, like, this person told me, look, I don't want to report it. | ||
| That same exact trick we've seen in both of these episodes. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| 17 years of tricks. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| But again, it's like I said on the last episode. | ||
| It's amazing broadcasting. | ||
| It really is. | ||
| If you take the morality out of it, it's gorgeous broadcasting. | ||
| And he's super consistent in terms of him being a propagandistic asshole. | ||
| So congratulations on that, Alex. | ||
| We'll be back with another episode soon. | ||
| Alex should be back in studio, I guess. | ||
| I mean, he's not going to be gone until the inauguration. | ||
| That's insane. | ||
| Well, he is taking some meetings, and who knows how they might go. | ||
| We're recording this in advance. | ||
| This is going to come out on Monday, but if I get to work today on Monday... | ||
| And there's a fucking guest host? | ||
| Livid. | ||
| Because here's something I want to say very fucking clearly right now. | ||
| The only thing worse than the Alex Jones show is the Alex Jones show without Alex Jones. | ||
| It's a dumpster fire. | ||
| Anyway. | ||
| We will eventually do an episode on that. | ||
| Sooner or later. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, it would be good to do dossiers on all of the cohorts at some point. | ||
| That's for down the line. | ||
| Jordan, this has been a lot of fun. | ||
| This has been the most fun of my life. | ||
| I hope your year 2000 goes well. | ||
| I am already terrified for Y3K. | ||
| We did our plugs in the middle, so who gives a shit? | ||
| Let's end this thing. | ||
| We'll see you next time. | ||
| Andy in Kansas, you're on the air. | ||
| Thanks for holding. | ||
