► 00:00:00
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
► 00:00:01
Thanks for holding.
► 00:00:04
Hello, Alex.
► 00:00:04
I'm a first-time caller.
► 00:00:05
I'm a huge fan.
► 00:00:06
I love your work.
► 00:00:07
I love you.
► 00:00:08
Hey, everybody.
► 00:00:08
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
► 00:00:10
I am Dan.
► 00:00:11
I'm Jordan.
► 00:00:12
And we are back for another installment where I, as a man who listens to too much InfoWars, explains what's going on in the wonderful, wonderful world of Alex Jones.
► 00:00:23
To Jordan, who has absolutely no idea what the fuck is about to happen.
► 00:00:27
But you do know the world.
► 00:00:29
I do.
► 00:00:30
I've heard of it.
► 00:00:30
You're a smart man.
► 00:00:31
I have a passing familiarity with it.
► 00:00:33
You're a man who likes to pay attention to the news.
► 00:00:36
You're a man who has global awareness, some might say.
► 00:00:40
Yes.
► 00:00:41
I would say I am globally aware in the sense that I know about 40% of the globe.
► 00:00:47
That's fair.
► 00:00:48
That's more than most.
► 00:00:49
I'm just trying to give you some bona fides here.
► 00:00:52
I have my expertise in listening to this.
► 00:00:55
In Alex Jones.
► 00:00:56
So you have to have your own expertise.
► 00:00:57
You went to the University of Missouri, right?
► 00:00:59
No, no, no.
► 00:01:00
And they didn't do an Alex Jones study?
► 00:01:02
Where did you go?
► 00:01:03
Oh, I went to the University of Missouri.
► 00:01:05
I mean, he did well for himself.
► 00:01:11
He's very much like one of those tech billionaires.
► 00:01:14
Or like Eminem.
► 00:01:15
Stupid as shit, rich as fuck, and proud of it.
► 00:01:18
Yeah.
► 00:01:19
Quote from Eminem.
► 00:01:20
Is that a quote?
► 00:01:21
It's from a D12 song.
► 00:01:23
All right.
► 00:01:23
Let's not fuck around too much here.
► 00:01:25
Let's do this.
► 00:01:25
We got a lot of business to cover.
► 00:01:27
So, as you guys know, if you're eagle-eared listeners, you know that last week, Alex Jones was on vacation.
► 00:01:34
He was on break.
► 00:01:35
He wasn't in studio, and we had tons of these dingbat fucking co-hosts.
► 00:01:41
Right.
► 00:01:41
We had the David Knights of the world filling in.
► 00:01:44
We had Roger Stone doing a day.
► 00:01:46
We had Paul Joseph Watson.
► 00:01:47
And I don't want to cover those guys.
► 00:01:50
So we don't have fresh episodes to cover right now, so to speak.
► 00:01:56
But when this comes out, it'll be Monday.
► 00:01:59
Alex will be back in studio, super excited about it.
► 00:02:03
But while Alex was off, he sent in a lot of dispatches from the road.
► 00:02:09
Okay.
► 00:02:09
He sent in a lot of special reports.
► 00:02:12
And I think those are worth talking about a little bit.
► 00:02:14
So that's something we're going to be covering.
► 00:02:16
Here in this episode, but before we do, I wanted to check in, because on our first episode, we listened to Alex explain that he was going to take some meetings.
► 00:02:28
Yes.
► 00:02:29
But he didn't want to explain the meetings, but the mainstream media could put two and two together.
► 00:02:33
And then he very quickly put that two and two together and told us it was going to be with Trump.
► 00:02:38
Yes.
► 00:02:38
I don't need to warn him in person.
► 00:02:41
He definitely doesn't need to get kudos or a pat on the back.
► 00:02:44
Does not need that.
► 00:02:45
No.
► 00:02:46
He was even afraid to leave Occupied Texas.
► 00:02:48
I assume they smuggled him out in a train like Stalin or whatever?
► 00:02:52
Undoubtedly.
► 00:02:52
I think he was in a coal truck or something like that.
► 00:02:55
A little blanket over him or some shit.
► 00:02:57
But on this, when he calls in to give a special report, he has a slightly different take on it.
► 00:03:03
So now he's his own insane caller.
► 00:03:06
Yep.
► 00:03:07
Okay.
► 00:03:07
Which he actually weirdly addresses in this clip.
► 00:03:11
Oh, of course he does.
► 00:03:12
This is Alex calling in and telling his co-host, who's filling in David Knight, explaining the situation.
► 00:03:20
I've told people I'm on vacation with my family, but that's become a whole other conspiracy, even if I leave for a week.
► 00:03:26
I'll be back next week.
► 00:03:27
But regardless, I'm doing a work vacation.
► 00:03:30
But just while I'm out here in America talking and meeting with people, everybody I talk to basically is against political correctness now, almost everybody.
► 00:03:41
There is a total awakening taking place, and that's why they're so scared.
► 00:03:46
So he's out there, he's taking meetings with people, and everyone hates political correctness.
► 00:03:51
Hooray!
► 00:03:51
He even reveals in his own sentence why it is that nobody else is talking to him.
► 00:04:00
If somebody liked political correctness and saw Alex Jones walking down the street, they'd just scream Pizzagate and then run the fuck away.
► 00:04:08
Probably.
► 00:04:09
Oh no, it's Pizzagate coming!
► 00:04:11
It's a coming down the road!
► 00:04:13
Pizzagate coming!
► 00:04:13
Pizzagate coming!
► 00:04:14
Like someone giving a warning that the cops are going to break up a party.
► 00:04:18
Like the 1940s stickball games in the street.
► 00:04:21
Kids being like, oh no, cops!
► 00:04:23
So he's been telling people it's a family vacation, which he hasn't.
► 00:04:27
Which is its own conspiracy?
► 00:04:29
Who's conspiracy-ing that?
► 00:04:31
Who cares?
► 00:04:34
Who gives a shit where you're going?
► 00:04:36
That is a really good point.
► 00:04:37
But in his mind, everybody cares where he's going, right?
► 00:04:41
It's so fascinating, too.
► 00:04:42
like sometimes you lie about things you don't have to and i think that's what he thinks he's doing in his head not realizing that he revealed on his show what he was doing not realizing that on his own broadcast he was like uh i'm gonna go meet with trump basically that's what he said yeah then he reveals that for a while he's been lying and saying he's going on a family vacation which he hasn't Did he even lie about it?
► 00:05:06
Did he just now say that he was on a family vacation?
► 00:05:09
He didn't warn anybody.
► 00:05:10
I haven't heard.
► 00:05:11
Also, workcation has never been said in the history of the world, right?
► 00:05:15
I think I've heard that before.
► 00:05:17
I'm going to give him credit.
► 00:05:19
But he's just going to work.
► 00:05:19
Sure.
► 00:05:20
He's just working in a different place.
► 00:05:22
Yeah, he's doing his work from the road, and God bless him, because there's a lot that needs to be done.
► 00:05:26
He is our true traveling kung fu hero.
► 00:05:31
Bullshit guy.
► 00:05:32
Yes, bullshit master.
► 00:05:33
The legend of the bullshit master.
► 00:05:36
This episode is going to cover a video that he put out right before he left.
► 00:05:41
I feel like it's still the beginning of the year, and I feel like a lot of people have made resolutions, and there's a lot of the year to look forward to.
► 00:05:49
As he made.
► 00:05:49
A resolution?
► 00:05:50
He kind of does at a certain point here.
► 00:05:53
But he released a video called The Secret of 2017.
► 00:05:59
Whoa!
► 00:06:00
And I feel like...
► 00:06:02
He already knows the secret?
► 00:06:04
Oh, he knows the secret.
► 00:06:05
And this is a really...
► 00:06:08
I think it's probably like a 20 minute long video.
► 00:06:11
I've cut out the parts that are superfluous.
► 00:06:14
Like where he repeats himself and stuff like that.
► 00:06:16
So it's cut down to a 30 second clip.
► 00:06:19
No, I had to leave him the funny stuff.
► 00:06:21
Oh, okay.
► 00:06:22
All right.
► 00:06:23
So we're going to take a look at this video today.
► 00:06:27
This secret of 2017 that I think is pretty indicative.
► 00:06:32
Like, if you look at this as just a microcosm of Alex Jones' broadcast style, it's him to a fucking T. Okay.
► 00:06:41
So here we go.
► 00:06:42
We're going to kick it off.
► 00:06:43
I remember back in July of 2016.
► 00:06:47
Seems like just minutes ago, but it was over half a year ago.
► 00:06:53
I was in Cleveland, Ohio, covering the RNC.
► 00:07:02
So I want to be clear, I'm not putting in pauses.
► 00:07:05
This is, that's...
► 00:07:07
Tom Waits telling a story, right?
► 00:07:09
Like, you and I are in a bar right next to Tom Waits going, like, just a little bit faster, Tom.
► 00:07:15
Just a little bit faster, Tom.
► 00:07:16
There's also a part of me that thinks, like, from listening to this, that Alex is itching to do drama.
► 00:07:22
Like, he really wants to start doing dramatic monologues.
► 00:07:26
It just feels like it.
► 00:07:28
On this St. Crispin's Day, we all know.
► 00:07:33
This video is that long.
► 00:07:35
I'm not playing 20-minute clips.
► 00:07:36
Don't worry.
► 00:07:37
We'll be back sooner than that.
► 00:07:40
And I went over to the Ritz-Carlton, where the main Republicans were staying, and I met with a lot of the different Fox News officials, their vice presidents, their programming people.
► 00:07:53
Now keep in mind, I want to cut in here real quick to remind you that the name of this video is The Secret of 2017.
► 00:08:01
So just remember, when he starts down this road, this is the first thought he had in his mind when he made a video called The Secret of 2017.
► 00:08:09
But you forgot to add the part where he said, the way we learn about the future is we look to the past.
► 00:08:16
That's almost Chris Christofferson-y.
► 00:08:18
Oh yeah, that's right.
► 00:08:19
There's a gravel there.
► 00:08:20
I'm trying, I'm trying.
► 00:08:21
He's got a tough voice to imitate.
► 00:08:23
Nah, not really.
► 00:08:25
I don't know if that's good either.
► 00:08:26
I think you gotta go a little bit lower.
► 00:08:28
You got the cadence right.
► 00:08:29
Alright.
► 00:08:30
And we talked about Megyn Kelly.
► 00:08:33
And I said, Megyn Kelly, this is only like six, seven months ago now.
► 00:08:36
It seems like, again, just yesterday, but also a lifetime ago.
► 00:08:40
Megyn Kelly is your bellwether.
► 00:08:42
If she can successfully convert your audience to hating conservatism, hating libertarianism, buying into worshipping this dead political horse, Hillary, then you've won.
► 00:08:55
But I said, I think Megyn Kelly is going to destroy herself.
► 00:08:58
In this battle with Donald Trump and the American people.
► 00:09:01
And they agreed with me.
► 00:09:02
They said, no, we're already seeing ratings slide.
► 00:09:04
She had the top ratings on the channel.
► 00:09:08
And now she's moved on to the Peacock Network NBC.
► 00:09:12
It's itself a total show.
► 00:09:15
And it's Bad Son, MSNBC, and CNBC, and Microsoft, and all the rest of them.
► 00:09:22
And this is truly a train wreck we're watching.
► 00:09:25
But it shows how...
► 00:09:27
She gets her hair done in Manhattan.
► 00:09:28
She's this beautiful little elf woman.
► 00:09:31
She's an old lady to me.
► 00:09:33
I'm nothing as old ladies, but she's a solace.
► 00:09:35
And she still believes.
► 00:09:37
You were laughing over him calling her soulless.
► 00:09:40
Soulless?
► 00:09:40
Oh, God.
► 00:09:41
She's an ugly woman and soulless.
► 00:09:43
This, again, I have to- And nothing against the ladies.
► 00:09:46
Nothing against the ladies.
► 00:09:47
But I'm going to attractiveness shame you.
► 00:09:50
Yes.
► 00:09:50
And Megyn Kelly's a beautiful woman.
► 00:09:51
She is.
► 00:09:52
I disagree with her on her stances on race.
► 00:09:55
Elf woman?
► 00:09:56
Elf woman?
► 00:09:56
That's not even a negative.
► 00:09:58
Is that- Yeah, I mean- What, are you calling her Zelda?
► 00:10:00
Yeah, are we going- Well, let's go with Lord of the Rings.
► 00:10:02
The elves are the most beautiful things.
► 00:10:04
Heroin is gorgeous.
► 00:10:05
Yeah, exactly.
► 00:10:06
And all these cosplayers dress up like elves.
► 00:10:08
Yeah!
► 00:10:08
Because they're fucking hot.
► 00:10:10
Elves are a main selling point in this world of ours, I guess.
► 00:10:14
But she goes and gets her hair done in Manhattan.
► 00:10:16
She's a bitch.
► 00:10:18
Wait.
► 00:10:19
This clip isn't done.
► 00:10:20
Doesn't she live in Manhattan?
► 00:10:21
Probably.
► 00:10:21
Where else would she get her hair done?
► 00:10:23
Go to the Bronx, you bitch.
► 00:10:26
Take a trip.
► 00:10:28
Take a trip up to Harlem to get your hair done, you hussy.
► 00:10:32
I don't fucking understand that either.
► 00:10:34
That's crazy, but alright.
► 00:10:36
Yeah, don't get your hair done where you live.
► 00:10:37
Yeah.
► 00:10:38
Travel.
► 00:10:39
Ah, you millionaire TV show host.
► 00:10:42
Yeah, elite.
► 00:10:43
In the system.
► 00:10:45
So Megyn Kelly, as the whole dinosaur media goes down, is emblematic of the fall.
► 00:10:52
Of the peacock, globalist, narcissistic brainwashing machine.
► 00:10:57
I think that's really the takeaway from all of this I can bring you.
► 00:11:01
So this is the first clip, and it seems like it's a thesis statement.
► 00:11:07
It seems like that's the thesis.
► 00:11:10
It does seem like there is more to go on this particular subject.
► 00:11:14
There 100% seems that way.
► 00:11:19
Were her ratings slipping?
► 00:11:21
Didn't she leave as still the number one on Fox News?
► 00:11:25
I don't know the statistics on that, but I know that they did offer her a fat contract to stay and she turned it down.
► 00:11:31
Probably because she was sexually harassed by all of Fox News.
► 00:11:35
Yeah, probably.
► 00:11:36
You gotta cover your tracks a little bit.
► 00:11:38
Yeah, I think that would be a smart idea.
► 00:11:39
I think her numbers were slipping a little bit, but not to a profound extent.
► 00:11:44
Okay, now...
► 00:11:46
Has he ever criticized Megyn Kelly in the past?
► 00:11:50
I think so, yeah.
► 00:11:51
You think so?
► 00:11:51
Yeah.
► 00:11:51
While she was on Fox News?
► 00:11:53
Well, especially when she was the moderator of that debate and...
► 00:11:57
Ask Trump some hard questions.
► 00:11:58
Oh, yeah, no, that was her fault.
► 00:12:00
Yeah, absolutely.
► 00:12:00
She shouldn't have gotten in the line of fire with a good man.
► 00:12:03
Uh-uh, uh-uh.
► 00:12:03
You know, he's a good man.
► 00:12:04
Don't fucking ask him questions.
► 00:12:06
You know, these elves are coming up on our orange-headed toes.
► 00:12:10
Sure.
► 00:12:11
And they are just getting in the way.
► 00:12:13
There is this insane, like, overarching narrative that they have that is, like, the media are bullies.
► 00:12:18
And that, like, keeps coming up.
► 00:12:20
And so, like, I do believe that Alex would think that, like...
► 00:12:24
Asking Trump hard questions is bullying him.
► 00:12:26
Yeah.
► 00:12:27
And that's nuts.
► 00:12:29
That's completely nuts.
► 00:12:30
That's the role of a press.
► 00:12:32
That always goes back to everything.
► 00:12:34
He always says this, and it's, you know, everything they accuse us of doing is what they're doing.
► 00:12:40
Yep.
► 00:12:41
That'll come up later.
► 00:12:41
And what he's really saying there is, if we don't do it...
► 00:12:46
They're going to do it to us.
► 00:12:48
Yes.
► 00:12:48
So it's giving him a preemptive justification, you know, in the same way that China and Russia have reserved the right to a first-strike nuclear attack.
► 00:12:58
Well, back in 99. Back in 99. I assume they didn't cancel that reservation, right?
► 00:13:02
I mean, the table's ready.
► 00:13:04
Why cancel the reservation?
► 00:13:06
They've already got bread on it.
► 00:13:08
So, interestingly, that is his...
► 00:13:11
Opening valley of the secrets of 2017.
► 00:13:14
Okay.
► 00:13:15
And it seems like maybe that's the direction he's going to go.
► 00:13:18
It might not be the case.
► 00:13:20
He has some more words about Megyn Kelly, though.
► 00:13:23
Huge things are happening right now.
► 00:13:26
And you look at these tarts.
► 00:13:29
It's not that she's a woman.
► 00:13:31
Smart people I know are women.
► 00:13:33
Because you have the archetype of the dumb guy, the dumb woman.
► 00:13:35
I mean, Megyn Kelly is the dumb blonde cheerleader.
► 00:13:38
Who looked okay ten years ago on Fox, but now just looks like an ugly witch.
► 00:13:44
See, that's so unfair on a number of levels.
► 00:13:48
What in God's name is he...
► 00:13:50
Okay.
► 00:13:50
He's justifying...
► 00:13:51
He sounds drunk, right?
► 00:13:53
He sounds drunk.
► 00:13:55
That's a dude who is drunk.
► 00:13:57
He's at the hotel bar.
► 00:13:59
He's sitting next to...
► 00:14:00
Like, he's been on the road for a long time.
► 00:14:02
He's sitting next to...
► 00:14:03
You might have cracked the code.
► 00:14:04
Yeah, he's drunk.
► 00:14:06
He's just rambling shit.
► 00:14:08
Like, why is he being mean about her appearance?
► 00:14:10
And of all the Fox News people, she's the only one who seems intelligent at all.
► 00:14:15
And doesn't seem at all like a dumb cheerleader archetype.
► 00:14:19
More than anything, she seems like a stern aunt.
► 00:14:22
Yeah.
► 00:14:23
No, I disagree with her positions, but she does seem like a fucking whip-cracking smart lady.
► 00:14:29
And substantial.
► 00:14:30
Yes.
► 00:14:30
She doesn't seem like...
► 00:14:32
She seems like someone who...
► 00:14:33
And evidence has borne this out.
► 00:14:35
In interviews, she's not just repeating things.
► 00:14:38
No.
► 00:14:39
She's engaged in the interview and asking questions based on what the people say to her.
► 00:14:42
Right.
► 00:14:43
Which is why they hate her, because if you respond with an answer and then you get a follow-up question, you don't get the chance to just...
► 00:14:51
Skip over it.
► 00:14:52
You don't get to just insinuate something and then leave.
► 00:14:55
Like a certain, I don't know, host of a certain show who might have a gravelly Texas accent.
► 00:15:04
So for the second time in the span of three minutes, he said, I don't hate women, but this woman is an ugly coos.
► 00:15:11
He really went after her.
► 00:15:12
Why is he going after her appearance?
► 00:15:13
She looks like a witch.
► 00:15:14
That's such Bush League bullshit.
► 00:15:16
Yeah, it is.
► 00:15:18
But, you know, when you really get down to it, I don't know if he has many other tools.
► 00:15:22
You know, like other than Bush League stuff.
► 00:15:25
Insinuation and sort of insults.
► 00:15:27
But anyway, hold on.
► 00:15:28
We got more.
► 00:15:29
Because her soul is ugly.
► 00:15:31
She reportedly told friends, oh, I'm ugly, I'm old now, I better join the liberals.
► 00:15:34
She's wanting to go jump onto some failed ship because she feels rejected after buying into the mainstream media's lie that Donald Trump was this evil guy.
► 00:15:46
This is just her thinking, oh my god, I'm hated at Fox.
► 00:15:49
I'm hated by the viewers now.
► 00:15:51
Let me go to NBC.
► 00:15:55
Because those failures, those vampires are ready to get whoever they can swindle into joining them.
► 00:16:00
So that was just fan fiction.
► 00:16:02
He assumed what she was thinking.
► 00:16:06
Yeah, he's...
► 00:16:07
Wait, so he thinks she told her friends...
► 00:16:11
That I'm ugly.
► 00:16:12
So now he's absolving himself of any of those insults because he's just repeating what she said.
► 00:16:19
Except he's never heard anybody say that, ever.
► 00:16:22
He's just telling us her psyche.
► 00:16:24
Because he absolutely knows what she's dealing with.
► 00:16:29
Okay, alright.
► 00:16:30
But is he everywhere at all times?
► 00:16:33
Does he have everything bugged?
► 00:16:35
Because it seems like everything he says is like...
► 00:16:38
I know that these three people said this in a private room.
► 00:16:42
And I know it because I have small little cameras set up wherever Megyn Kelly goes.
► 00:16:48
I'm a little bit drunk right now.
► 00:16:49
He does.
► 00:16:50
He's listened to our show, which is nice.
► 00:16:53
I love Megyn Kelly.
► 00:16:54
He probably does.
► 00:16:55
I'm a big elf fan.
► 00:16:56
I mean, think about it.
► 00:16:57
These sort of insults generally don't come out of people who don't have some sort of feeling about a person.
► 00:17:01
Yeah.
► 00:17:02
Outright hate is usually covering up some sort of...
► 00:17:06
Yeah.
► 00:17:07
To conflict.
► 00:17:08
I mean, yeah, he must have loved her at some point.
► 00:17:12
Yeah.
► 00:17:13
When she was on Fox News.
► 00:17:14
Not just in an interpersonal way.
► 00:17:16
Yeah, that's a drunk man who feels like he's been left behind by the one who...
► 00:17:21
She's the one who got away!
► 00:17:23
So now, again, I have to remind you, and I'm going to constantly remind you, this is the secret of 2017.
► 00:17:30
He has spent the opening 10 minutes.
► 00:17:32
We're on 10 minutes?
► 00:17:33
No, no, no.
► 00:17:33
Oh, okay.
► 00:17:34
We're at like 20. Of course we are.
► 00:17:37
He spent the opening like four.
► 00:17:38
Because we have the focusing abilities of somebody who's taking crack speed and is on ADHD.
► 00:17:43
And is drinking Spumante.
► 00:17:45
Spumante, yeah.
► 00:17:46
So he's taken up the beginning of The Secret of 2016 just to personally attack the appearance of Megyn Kelly over and over again and assume what she's thinking.
► 00:17:55
Yeah.
► 00:17:55
But that's not really what it's all about.
► 00:17:58
It's also about how good a man Alex Jones is.
► 00:18:02
Oh, no!
► 00:18:03
I'm just an average person who has a will and who's justice-bound and who wants to promote freedom.
► 00:18:09
I'm not that special.
► 00:18:10
But I am special in that I don't join every Peacock organization.
► 00:18:15
I don't want to go...
► 00:18:16
Anybody else who's successful like me, almost everybody, they go in their weird functions and dinners and fake...
► 00:18:23
Charity events where you walk down red carpets and they have people there to take photos of you just so you feel big.
► 00:18:29
It's a whole vanity fair business of BS.
► 00:18:33
That means nothing to me.
► 00:18:35
I'll tell you what means something to me.
► 00:18:37
I've probably been in Luby's cafeterias that are here in Texas and a few other states 500 times in my life.
► 00:18:46
You might think that this is going to a I support local business angle.
► 00:18:49
I'm really hoping.
► 00:18:51
I'm hoping there's one redeeming factor in this long drunken speech.
► 00:18:55
No.
► 00:18:56
Okay.
► 00:18:56
It is long and seemingly drunken.
► 00:18:58
Okay.
► 00:18:59
But he is about to tell a story that never happened.
► 00:19:04
To illustrate why he's a great man.
► 00:19:07
Okay.
► 00:19:07
So we're back to the spaceship car.
► 00:19:11
1,000%.
► 00:19:12
Okay.
► 00:19:13
But just strap it in.
► 00:19:14
Strap it in.
► 00:19:15
I'm going to put the microphone down.
► 00:19:17
Yeah.
► 00:19:17
That's what I'm going to do.
► 00:19:18
This is take a sip of champagne and enjoy some bullshit time.
► 00:19:22
Alrighty.
► 00:19:23
I mean, I grew up when I was a little kid going to him in Dallas.
► 00:19:26
And it wasn't until about six, seven years ago that I'd go to a Luby's.
► 00:19:31
And I'd hear old ladies in the line, who had always been in line with us since I was a little kid, calling, I don't have the money for the Lou Anne and their little purse bags.
► 00:19:41
And I started getting tears in my eyes, because they weren't saying this for me.
► 00:19:44
They were talking to their old lady friends like they didn't have money for food.
► 00:19:47
This was their one day out a week to get this food.
► 00:19:53
And I didn't want to make a scene or anything, but after this happened a few times, I'd sit there and say, hey, I'm getting all these people's food.
► 00:20:00
And it wasn't that I was some angel or whatever.
► 00:20:02
So I want to break there for a second.
► 00:20:04
How old was he again?
► 00:20:05
What did he say?
► 00:20:05
No, this is currently.
► 00:20:06
This is currently.
► 00:20:07
He's been going to Luby's his whole life.
► 00:20:09
For 500 times or so.
► 00:20:10
Yeah, but he...
► 00:20:12
Okay, here's why this didn't happen.
► 00:20:14
I don't think that Alex Jones...
► 00:20:15
Any number of reasons could be why this didn't happen.
► 00:20:17
I don't think Alex Jones isn't possibly a charitable nice man.
► 00:20:21
That's entirely possible.
► 00:20:22
Yes.
► 00:20:22
But this story didn't happen because no one goes to a restaurant and being like, I can't pay for the food.
► 00:20:29
You stay home.
► 00:20:30
Yeah.
► 00:20:31
But they're one day out a week, too?
► 00:20:35
Again, this is Megyn Kelly's thoughts.
► 00:20:36
He's assuming.
► 00:20:37
He has no idea.
► 00:20:38
Okay.
► 00:20:38
All right.
► 00:20:39
So, okay.
► 00:20:40
All right.
► 00:20:41
He buys them all food, though.
► 00:20:42
He's a good guy.
► 00:20:43
I know he's a good guy, but...
► 00:20:45
So, this has happened a few times.
► 00:20:48
Apparently.
► 00:20:48
In different Luby's or in the same Luby's?
► 00:20:51
Well...
► 00:20:52
And if it's in the same Luby's, does he know these people's names?
► 00:20:55
Can he give us any details about them other than their old women crying?
► 00:21:00
You gave your son a job.
► 00:21:03
You let one of these old biddies get in and do a news report.
► 00:21:06
Yeah, they could probably tear down Megyn Kelly way better than he could.
► 00:21:09
It would feel better.
► 00:21:10
Yeah, I would be less offended by it.
► 00:21:13
Anyway, the clip's not over.
► 00:21:15
It was that my whole life I'd gone there.
► 00:21:18
I mean, I have early memories of being like Luby's in Dallas.
► 00:21:20
I'm like two years old.
► 00:21:21
And I never heard people bitching and complaining they couldn't pay for the food.
► 00:21:25
And the food was lower quality.
► 00:21:27
The food was even cheaper.
► 00:21:28
But inflation and all the lies.
► 00:21:29
And I saw the news saying, oh, there's no inflation.
► 00:21:32
Our economy's great.
► 00:21:34
Obama said we had the best economy we've ever had.
► 00:21:36
So now he somehow relates this story to Obama.
► 00:21:39
Also, inflation?
► 00:21:40
Also, the food is worse now.
► 00:21:42
Yeah, why?
► 00:21:44
But I've kept going.
► 00:21:45
The food is worse.
► 00:21:47
The food's worse now.
► 00:21:48
It's cheaper, but there's inflation.
► 00:21:50
Yeah.
► 00:21:51
I don't understand.
► 00:21:52
Yeah.
► 00:21:54
That is a twisted...
► 00:21:56
That's a pretzel of a thought.
► 00:22:00
Again, you're getting...
► 00:22:01
This is the secret of 2017.
► 00:22:05
Megyn Kelly is ugly and insecure, so she ran away to NBC.
► 00:22:10
Obama ruined the economy by increasing inflation and directly going after Luby's.
► 00:22:15
And Alex Jones is a good man because he overheard some old women talking about not being able to...
► 00:22:20
Pay for food they ordered.
► 00:22:21
And they had coin purses?
► 00:22:23
I guess so.
► 00:22:24
So this is...
► 00:22:24
This is in the 50s.
► 00:22:25
This is supposed to be now.
► 00:22:27
Yeah.
► 00:22:27
But he's still referencing coin purses from...
► 00:22:30
Have you ever been to occupied Texas?
► 00:22:32
I have never been to occupied Texas.
► 00:22:33
Well, you'd know.
► 00:22:34
There's a lot of coin purses.
► 00:22:35
There's a lot of coin...
► 00:22:35
You know what?
► 00:22:37
That...
► 00:22:37
Yeah.
► 00:22:38
I can see that.
► 00:22:39
Now he gets...
► 00:22:39
I don't know when Texas is in the world.
► 00:22:42
It's in the 50s.
► 00:22:43
Yeah.
► 00:22:43
Constantly.
► 00:22:44
It's like Pleasantville.
► 00:22:45
Right.
► 00:22:45
So now here's where he gets a little bit...
► 00:22:49
Off the chain.
► 00:22:50
Obama said we had the best economy we've ever had.
► 00:22:53
In between speeches saying you can't have cars or air conditioning.
► 00:22:56
Well, he's on a jumbo jet and playing golf 100 days a year and sitting around delusional because he's black, so it's okay to say black people got to be poor and watch their unemployment double.
► 00:23:07
He was chosen by these sick, inbred, corporate, blue-blood, white people on average.
► 00:23:13
You want to get down to bashing white people?
► 00:23:14
Yeah, most of these folks are white running this thing.
► 00:23:17
They're playing us all off against each other.
► 00:23:19
To screw us over.
► 00:23:20
We've got a bunch of narcissists who want to be on their news, their shows, their channels to feel like we've arrived, so we'll sell our own family out to be part of them.
► 00:23:31
Yeah.
► 00:23:32
I feel like I need to write down notes to see.
► 00:23:35
Okay.
► 00:23:36
You're not here, so you can't see it.
► 00:23:37
He's playing these clips on his phone, and in lieu of actually having anything to look at, I've just been staring at his phone.
► 00:23:44
If you need to take notes, there's a piece of paper.
► 00:23:46
I do, because I don't understand where he went.
► 00:23:51
That was a...
► 00:23:52
Where did he go?
► 00:23:53
That was a crazy triple lindy.
► 00:23:54
Where did he go?
► 00:23:55
Yeah!
► 00:23:55
That was an insanity triple axel.
► 00:23:57
That was the Tony Hawk hitting a 720 of random-ass shit.
► 00:24:02
Well, okay, so because Obama's black, he can tell black people that they should be poor.
► 00:24:06
Yeah.
► 00:24:06
That's one thing that's like...
► 00:24:07
I don't remember him saying that, but I...
► 00:24:09
Also, I don't understand where you get off saying that.
► 00:24:12
Like, because he's black, it's okay.
► 00:24:14
I know he's not saying that literally.
► 00:24:17
He's saying that the world thinks that.
► 00:24:19
Right.
► 00:24:19
Which is also not true.
► 00:24:20
But that's his preemptive, like, nobody can call me a racist because Obama's already even more racist than me.
► 00:24:28
Double reverse racism.
► 00:24:29
Yeah, and then nobody's talking about that.
► 00:24:31
Everybody's just coming at me.
► 00:24:32
Now, the cars and microwaves thing...
► 00:24:34
I don't...
► 00:24:35
No, it was air conditioning.
► 00:24:37
Yeah.
► 00:24:37
He was telling people they can't have cars.
► 00:24:40
Right.
► 00:24:40
Or air conditioning.
► 00:24:41
That's an old chestnut of Alex's, actually.
► 00:24:44
That refers to...
► 00:24:45
That's like a climate change thing, right?
► 00:24:46
Yes.
► 00:24:47
It refers to Obama telling third world nations...
► 00:24:51
That they can't have cars and air conditioning.
► 00:24:53
And he didn't really tell them that as much as it is...
► 00:24:55
I feel like, well, one, that would be an interesting thing to read in a speech from Obama.
► 00:25:00
Uh, guys, no cars.
► 00:25:01
This is an uplifting conversation.
► 00:25:05
Before we begin, no cars.
► 00:25:08
Zimbabwe?
► 00:25:09
Bitches.
► 00:25:10
Zimbabwe?
► 00:25:11
It's feet from now on.
► 00:25:14
It's feet from now on.
► 00:25:15
I think...
► 00:25:17
I looked into this a while back because it was one of those that I was like, there's no way that's accurate.
► 00:25:22
There's no way that's accurate.
► 00:25:23
And it was about climate change.
► 00:25:24
It was about, like, as you're modernizing, we should find better ways to modernize than the ones we've used in the past.
► 00:25:31
Yes.
► 00:25:32
Which is a very sensible thing to do, but, you know, it's easy to paint with that broad brush and say, like, nope, third world countries, no cars!
► 00:25:40
It is really easy because he did it in 20 words.
► 00:25:45
Yep.
► 00:25:46
So now we get into, at the end of that clip, he was talking about how everyone wants to get involved with these peacock networks.
► 00:25:54
Yes.
► 00:25:54
And he doesn't.
► 00:25:55
Which actually, I'm going to say this, and it might come up a couple times.
► 00:25:58
I believe him.
► 00:26:00
Yeah, no, I agree.
► 00:26:01
And God bless him.
► 00:26:02
Do you think anybody's offered him a job?
► 00:26:06
No one bigger than he is, I don't think.
► 00:26:09
Okay.
► 00:26:10
I don't think, maybe at some point in the past, like Fox News might have.
► 00:26:15
Or something like that, but no.
► 00:26:16
I don't think...
► 00:26:18
Do you remember when Michael Savage had a show?
► 00:26:21
No.
► 00:26:21
I don't even know who Michael Savage is.
► 00:26:23
Dr. Savage of the Savage Nation?
► 00:26:25
No.
► 00:26:25
No idea.
► 00:26:27
Savage Nation is a horrible...
► 00:26:29
It's like Alex Jones, but with outright hate from an old Jewish dude.
► 00:26:36
Okay.
► 00:26:37
Whose actual name is Michael Wiener.
► 00:26:40
He calls himself...
► 00:26:41
It's a good change!
► 00:26:42
It's a good change!
► 00:26:43
So he has this show called The Savage Nation.
► 00:26:45
Because Wiener Nation is very much not the way to go.
► 00:26:48
It's Wienerville.
► 00:26:49
Mark Wiener.
► 00:26:50
Mark Wiener's gonna sue.
► 00:26:52
Right, right, right.
► 00:26:52
So he has this talk radio show that I would listen to all the time when I was younger.
► 00:26:56
Although Anthony Wiener would totally crush a Wiener Nation show.
► 00:26:59
Oh, he would love it.
► 00:27:00
Yeah.
► 00:27:01
But he's gonna go to prison probably, so...
► 00:27:02
He can have Wiener Nation in there.
► 00:27:05
Yeah!
► 00:27:06
But Michael Savage...
► 00:27:08
Wiener Nation State Penitentiary.
► 00:27:09
Michael Savage is an amazing storyteller.
► 00:27:12
So he would tell these stories about his daily life that were engaging and full of detail, and he was really, really good at broadcasting.
► 00:27:20
Unfortunately, he was a hateful bigot.
► 00:27:22
Right.
► 00:27:22
And Fox News gave him a show, like, around 9-11.
► 00:27:27
I think they gave it to him before...
► 00:27:30
But then it was cancelled pretty close after.
► 00:27:33
Because he was so...
► 00:27:35
I imagine his anti-Muslim bigotry would have gone way too far even for them.
► 00:27:39
He made a guy cry on air.
► 00:27:42
Jesus!
► 00:27:43
Who was Muslim, who was just trying to have a debate about stuff, and he was just like, I hope you die, towelhead, kind of shit.
► 00:27:51
Whoa!
► 00:27:52
He also had a gay rights activist on, and he told him he hoped he'd die of AIDS.
► 00:27:57
Yeah.
► 00:27:57
And shit like that.
► 00:27:58
Yeah.
► 00:27:59
And so, like, they gave him a show on Fox News and then had to cancel it because it was fucking, like, uh-oh.
► 00:28:04
Yeah.
► 00:28:04
And I don't think Alex is nearly as bad as Michael Savage.
► 00:28:08
But I think those networks learned a lesson from that.
► 00:28:12
And it was like...
► 00:28:13
Even Rush Limbaugh can't have a TV show, because we'll get sued.
► 00:28:17
Yeah, but he does do the live broadcast.
► 00:28:20
But he does it on his own.
► 00:28:21
Okay, I didn't know that.
► 00:28:22
That's not through a network.
► 00:28:23
Or if it is, it's not like CNN or MSNBC or Fox or anything like that.
► 00:28:28
So if Alex Jones did go to a network TV show...
► 00:28:34
I assume he would lose just about all of his listener base?
► 00:28:38
Like, do you think they would go with him?
► 00:28:40
I think...
► 00:28:42
I mean, it depends.
► 00:28:43
If he went to, like, a cable network, I think he might be able to pull off some of the bullshit that he says.
► 00:28:48
But, yeah, I think he'd have to lose a lot of his...
► 00:28:54
Independent credibility that he has.
► 00:28:56
I mean, he's gone on 25 years of yelling at every single possible news outlet.
► 00:29:01
Well, we're going to learn here in a minute it's going to be 22 years in April.
► 00:29:04
Okay.
► 00:29:04
To be specific.
► 00:29:05
Sorry.
► 00:29:06
But the point of this was I do believe him when he says that he doesn't want to go to these networks.
► 00:29:10
And when he says that what he wants to do is what he's doing.
► 00:29:14
I believe that.
► 00:29:14
Yeah, absolutely.
► 00:29:15
I believe that 100%.
► 00:29:17
So we have agreed with Alex Jones on one thing so far.
► 00:29:21
I just want to give him his propers.
► 00:29:23
Whenever he's being straight up, I'll be straight up.
► 00:29:26
So now he goes on to talk about other stuff that is maybe more dubious.
► 00:29:31
So let me give you the newsflash.
► 00:29:33
I've been on air 21 years.
► 00:29:36
Almost 22 years.
► 00:29:37
In April, it'll be 22 years.
► 00:29:40
And I don't say this to say I'm some big badass.
► 00:29:45
I say this so you realize that Wall Street, Madison Avenue, all of it have nothing to offer you.
► 00:29:51
It's a fraud.
► 00:29:52
It won't fulfill you.
► 00:29:54
I've been in major movies.
► 00:29:56
I didn't realize early on I was getting a little offer to join them.
► 00:30:01
And maybe I won.
► 00:30:03
Ha ha ha ha ha!
► 00:30:08
Don't you love that moment?
► 00:30:10
That's the drunk moment right there.
► 00:30:11
That's the drunk moment.
► 00:30:12
Maybe I would.
► 00:30:13
Maybe I wasn't.
► 00:30:14
That's like that moment of self-reflection.
► 00:30:17
That's gorgeous.
► 00:30:18
So actually, this clip is a rollercoaster for me.
► 00:30:21
Because I'm still agreeing with him.
► 00:30:23
That idea that Wall Street has nothing to offer you.
► 00:30:25
It's like, yeah, absolutely.
► 00:30:27
Independent as fuck.
► 00:30:28
This is LP shit.
► 00:30:29
I'm on board.
► 00:30:30
The only thing that...
► 00:30:32
So far, the only thing in that sentence was, he's not saying this to make him sound like a badass.
► 00:30:37
Right.
► 00:30:38
Because that's exactly why he's saying it.
► 00:30:40
Right.
► 00:30:40
And I've been in major movies.
► 00:30:42
I went to IMDB and did a little research.
► 00:30:45
What major movies was he in?
► 00:30:46
Three credits.
► 00:30:46
Okay.
► 00:30:47
If you don't count the documentaries that he's on, because he did loose change and shit.
► 00:30:51
But he directed those, or funded them.
► 00:30:53
Okay.
► 00:30:54
The three movies that he's been in as an actor.
► 00:30:56
Major movies.
► 00:30:57
Well, he was in two Richard Linklater movies.
► 00:30:59
Okay.
► 00:30:59
He was in Waking Life as the guy driving around in a car screaming in a bullhorn about how humanity is too good to be taken over by imposing forces.
► 00:31:08
Linklater fucking cast that right.
► 00:31:11
Well, but Linklater comes from Austin.
► 00:31:13
And so he knew Alex Jones when Alex was a public access host.
► 00:31:18
Okay.
► 00:31:18
So whenever he started making movies, he always had this image of this guy in his head.
► 00:31:23
And so also he was in A Scanner Darkly, another Linklater movie, as a guy yelling in a bullhorn.
► 00:31:29
Both rotoscoped.
► 00:31:30
Yeah.
► 00:31:31
And both characters who are crazy people screaming on the street in bullhorns.
► 00:31:35
Yeah.
► 00:31:36
Then he was in a third movie called Amerageddon.
► 00:31:41
Okay.
► 00:31:42
Here are the things you need to know about Amerageddon.
► 00:31:44
He plays a minor role as a politician.
► 00:31:47
It was directed by Chuck Norris' son.
► 00:31:50
And the movie also features InfoWars as a media outlet that tells the truth in a sea of lies.
► 00:31:56
David Knight plays the broadcaster on InfoWars in the movie.
► 00:32:00
So Alex Jones, being in this movie, kind of is PR.
► 00:32:05
Like, being in it, it's not a major movie, also.
► 00:32:08
It's Amerigaddon.
► 00:32:10
Also, do you want to hear the plot synopsis?
► 00:32:12
Goddammit, I want to see this movie.
► 00:32:14
I watched the trailer.
► 00:32:15
And it's wacky town.
► 00:32:17
Where can we find it?
► 00:32:19
Anywhere?
► 00:32:19
The trailer is on IMDB.
► 00:32:20
Right.
► 00:32:20
You can find it there.
► 00:32:21
But the actual movie?
► 00:32:22
I don't know.
► 00:32:23
I don't want to watch the whole thing.
► 00:32:24
Oh, I want to watch it so bad.
► 00:32:25
It seems like a left-behind kind of thing.
► 00:32:28
Oh, no, of course.
► 00:32:29
But what I'm saying is I want to get as LSD as possible and ride that out.
► 00:32:34
Here's the plot: "A fictional depiction of a future wherein a globalist terrorist organization aligned with the United Nations to disable the United States power grid and institute's martial law.
► 00:32:46
It will take a dedicated family of patriots armed with strong survival The remains of the Second Amendment The big plot point in the movie that I took from the trailer is that the army goes around and individually takes people's guns.
► 00:33:02
Wow.
► 00:33:03
But all of that stuff, that entire plot is just basically the wet dreams.
► 00:33:08
Yeah, that's Alex Jones's...
► 00:33:09
Yeah, so of course he's going to be in that movie.
► 00:33:10
That's every fear of Alex Jones.
► 00:33:12
But why is he obsessed with the power grid?
► 00:33:15
That's the thing that keeps showing up here is that...
► 00:33:19
He thinks that the power grid is the only thing between us and pure and utter zombie chaos.
► 00:33:27
In fairness to him, I don't...
► 00:33:29
From things I've read, I don't know...
► 00:33:31
I'm not an expert.
► 00:33:32
But from things I've read, the power grid is fairly vulnerable.
► 00:33:36
Okay.
► 00:33:36
That could be attacked in a way that would leave us in a fairly desperate state.
► 00:33:42
I mean, like, it is something that could happen.
► 00:33:44
And you don't think about all the implications of it.
► 00:33:46
It would have a ripple effect that would go through.
► 00:33:49
Internet going down, markets would suffer from it, the ability to send food around.
► 00:33:56
There would be...
► 00:33:57
If you're going to choose a paranoid fantasy, that's not a terrible one.
► 00:34:01
Yes, I understand that, but...
► 00:34:03
It's much better than bird flu.
► 00:34:05
The thing that he...
► 00:34:08
Although he was scared of bird flu.
► 00:34:11
Of course he was.
► 00:34:13
In a way that he was not scared of the Y2K bug somehow.
► 00:34:17
Okay.
► 00:34:17
Actually, I should say bird flu was a false flag.
► 00:34:20
Okay.
► 00:34:21
All right.
► 00:34:21
What about swine flu?
► 00:34:23
There's a false flag for bird flu.
► 00:34:25
Mad cow?
► 00:34:26
False flag for swine flu.
► 00:34:27
Oh, boy.
► 00:34:29
It's all the same shit, huh?
► 00:34:30
It's like a communist Chinese resting doll.
► 00:34:33
Nesting doll.
► 00:34:34
Nesting doll.
► 00:34:35
You can't say Russia.
► 00:34:38
But here's what I think boggles my mind, is that if the globalists do this...
► 00:34:45
Yes.
► 00:34:46
That will destroy them more so than anybody else.
► 00:34:50
Does he not understand that the markets are all so interconnected at this point that if you were to take the markets down, like if the Dow dropped...
► 00:34:59
What would you even consider?
► 00:35:01
Like, now it's a little bit...
► 00:35:03
A billion points.
► 00:35:04
A billion points.
► 00:35:05
If the Dow drops, because we're a little bit under 20,000, if it drops to 15,000 because of a power grid meltdown, the entire world falls apart.
► 00:35:15
Yeah, we're all fucked.
► 00:35:16
We're all fucked.
► 00:35:17
And that's because of 15,000.
► 00:35:18
Yeah, exactly.
► 00:35:19
There's a lot more room to drop.
► 00:35:21
Which is still twice as good.
► 00:35:22
Yeah, yeah.
► 00:35:23
Well, I think that his argument that he would make, again, I don't like to put words in his mouth, but he would say that the globalists, since they know that they're going to do it, they've made preparations for it.
► 00:35:32
They have underground bunkers.
► 00:35:33
They have supplies and munitions and stuff like that.
► 00:35:37
They can hide it out while the rest of us kill each other off in the streets.
► 00:35:40
Why would we kill each other off in the streets?
► 00:35:43
Because hunger sets in and you become an animal.
► 00:35:45
Have you ever...
► 00:35:48
Do you know how this happens in small-scale situations?
► 00:35:51
I don't.
► 00:35:52
You know, like how when Russia just invaded the Ukraine.
► 00:35:56
I can just call it Ukraine, right?
► 00:35:59
I don't have to say.
► 00:36:00
Why is the Ukraine?
► 00:36:01
I think it's from Risk.
► 00:36:02
Okay.
► 00:36:04
I think it's actually from Seinfeld.
► 00:36:06
The Ukraine is weak.
► 00:36:08
Oh, that could be it.
► 00:36:09
Yeah.
► 00:36:11
Yeah, no.
► 00:36:11
So this happens.
► 00:36:12
The power grid goes down.
► 00:36:14
Or in situations like...
► 00:36:16
I mean, God, any number of the places that we've blown up over the years.
► 00:36:21
What always happens is not everybody starts killing each other.
► 00:36:25
What always happens is people actually go, oh...
► 00:36:28
Now we're all in this together.
► 00:36:30
We are all trying to survive.
► 00:36:32
So all of a sudden black markets start showing up where it's like we can get food that we can't get through whatever channels that are normal because inflation has exploded.
► 00:36:42
Well Jordan that's stupid because optimism doesn't sell survival supplies and paranoia and fear is really the only marketing force that works when your business model is set up to scare people.
► 00:36:53
You're right.
► 00:36:54
You're right.
► 00:36:55
Anyway, Alex Jones has...
► 00:36:56
I need to do a way better job of labeling these clips.
► 00:37:02
This one's just called Integrity Ramble.
► 00:37:06
So, enjoy.
► 00:37:07
But the later offers were.
► 00:37:08
You want a book deal every year for $3 million.
► 00:37:11
You want to be in major motion pictures up to $10 million a year.
► 00:37:15
You want $10 million three-year contracts for radio.
► 00:37:18
We're ready to write the ticket.
► 00:37:20
You will be the next Rush Limbaugh before they got back.
► 00:37:24
And I told them no.
► 00:37:25
They said, I am the president of programming at this major network.
► 00:37:30
I don't make $2 million a year.
► 00:37:32
You're going to turn down $3.5 million a year.
► 00:37:34
And I said, you're damn right I am.
► 00:37:35
And it was hard to do.
► 00:37:37
That didn't happen.
► 00:37:38
No.
► 00:37:39
How much does he make?
► 00:37:41
He doesn't make $2 million, but I assume that he threw out $2 million, meaning it's $1.8 million?
► 00:37:47
No, no, no, no.
► 00:37:47
He was doing that as role play.
► 00:37:50
He was being the head of another network, offering him a job.
► 00:37:53
Oh, so the head doesn't make $2 million, and he's so excited about Alex Jones, he's offering him $3 million.
► 00:37:59
Which means, if this head of a network isn't making $2 million a year, that's a tiny network.
► 00:38:04
That's a really small network.
► 00:38:05
That might be like QVC.
► 00:38:08
Yeah, but even with stock options, you're going to be fine.
► 00:38:12
We're just talking liquid.
► 00:38:16
That's a good point.
► 00:38:17
I'm sorry.
► 00:38:18
I shouldn't have added net worth into this.
► 00:38:21
I used to work at a lab, and the owner, like, not even the owner of the lab, but, like, the head of one of the departments in the lab made, like, a million a year.
► 00:38:31
So, like, the idea is a fairly big lab, but, like, the idea that the head of a broadcast network isn't making two million a year is bullshit.
► 00:38:40
Yeah, I mean...
► 00:38:42
Are we talking programming head?
► 00:38:43
Because that's probably what he's...
► 00:38:45
He's not talking about CEO of the network.
► 00:38:47
That's a fair point.
► 00:38:47
He is skimping on the details.
► 00:38:49
Right.
► 00:38:49
Yeah.
► 00:38:49
So we would be looking at...
► 00:38:52
I don't know.
► 00:38:53
Let's just throw out a Weinstein for the major motion pictures.
► 00:38:57
Are you kidding me?
► 00:38:57
They make way more than $2 million.
► 00:38:58
I know, right?
► 00:39:00
They might make like $100 million a year.
► 00:39:02
$10 million, yeah.
► 00:39:02
What is happening here?
► 00:39:04
So anyway, he has more about his...
► 00:39:06
But before we go any further, how much do you think he makes?
► 00:39:09
I couldn't possibly guess.
► 00:39:12
I could not possibly guess.
► 00:39:14
It's very mysterious to me.
► 00:39:17
Because I don't think...
► 00:39:18
I actually have done a bunch of research in the last couple days about his advertising model, which we'll get into on a future show.
► 00:39:25
But I don't understand where the money is coming from, necessarily.
► 00:39:30
Unless millions of people are buying these weird supplements.
► 00:39:36
On his show, there aren't...
► 00:39:39
A ton of ads.
► 00:39:40
On his website, there aren't a ton of ads.
► 00:39:42
So I don't know what's going on exactly.
► 00:39:45
And shows like Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity, these types of shows, they actually had way smaller audiences than you think.
► 00:39:52
They were being propped up by billionaire Republican investors for the longest time.
► 00:39:58
As a propaganda wing.
► 00:40:00
Yeah, absolutely.
► 00:40:02
Even if the show isn't profitable, it's to their advantage if they have a fear-mongering monster.
► 00:40:08
Throwing everything at the wall to see who's going to do what.
► 00:40:10
It's conceivably the...
► 00:40:12
I think they would look at it as sort of the antidote to NPR.
► 00:40:16
Or something like that.
► 00:40:18
That had been the model for a very long time.
► 00:40:20
I think it's entirely possible...
► 00:40:22
The antidote to NPR is just coffee.
► 00:40:26
Pick it up.
► 00:40:27
Guys, guys, speak quickly!
► 00:40:29
I think he might be getting some sort of money from somebody, some angel investor or something like that.
► 00:40:36
Or it's possible that tons of people are buying the supplements.
► 00:40:39
I don't know.
► 00:40:40
I would say that a lot more people are buying the supplements than you would think.
► 00:40:44
The amount of money that it would take to run his operation is big.
► 00:40:48
Yeah, how many people does he have on staff?
► 00:40:51
I mean, if you talk about just in front of the camera personalities, there's at least like seven, and then there's gotta be some behind-the-scenes crew, editors, because he puts out like so much fucking material.
► 00:41:02
Yeah.
► 00:41:03
Yeah, but you can still do a bare-bones kind of operation, because it is like single camera on him, right?
► 00:41:09
No, I haven't seen the studio.
► 00:41:11
It's gorgeous.
► 00:41:11
Okay.
► 00:41:12
It makes me...
► 00:41:13
Fucking so jealous.
► 00:41:15
But, like, he puts out four hours of the Alex Jones show on a daily basis.
► 00:41:21
And then he has the Infowars Nightly News, which is like another two-hour show usually.
► 00:41:27
Hosted by Leanne McAdoo or one of the other...
► 00:41:31
Still a made-up name.
► 00:41:32
I love it.
► 00:41:33
I love her so much.
► 00:41:34
She sounds like a country music star, right?
► 00:41:37
Yeah, from the classic outlaw days.
► 00:41:40
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
► 00:41:40
But she's got big old...
► 00:41:41
Outlaw country.
► 00:41:42
She's got big old titties.
► 00:41:44
And I hate to say that because we just got done critiquing Alex for his...
► 00:41:49
But that's more just a reference to the days of yore.
► 00:41:52
Sure.
► 00:41:53
And I would never...
► 00:41:54
I guess I just did.
► 00:41:56
I don't know.
► 00:41:56
I was going to say I don't want to objectify.
► 00:41:58
I don't think that's a value judgment there so much as it is a stereotype.
► 00:42:01
Maybe.
► 00:42:02
I think we're pulling from several well-known people from that era.
► 00:42:09
My point is I just want to call myself out whenever there are things like that.
► 00:42:13
Because we're doing a...
► 00:42:14
Pretty harsh criticism job.
► 00:42:16
I might as well apply it to myself as well.
► 00:42:19
That's true.
► 00:42:19
Anyway.
► 00:42:20
We need to be held to a higher standard than drunken Alex Jones.
► 00:42:24
Speaking of high standards.
► 00:42:26
My integrity.
► 00:42:27
It's like saying, would you give up your eyeballs?
► 00:42:31
For a billion dollars?
► 00:42:32
Frickin' hell no.
► 00:42:33
Blind?
► 00:42:34
I've got a billion dollars?
► 00:42:35
No way.
► 00:42:36
Totally would.
► 00:42:37
I will not give up my soul for any amount of money.
► 00:42:39
That isn't some rocket scientist, badass, cool hero move.
► 00:42:45
That's a normal move of somebody that's awake and alive.
► 00:42:49
It isn't hard to say no to this.
► 00:42:51
That's what I don't get.
► 00:42:53
Is that it's so clear to me, and let's be frank, InfoWars is leading the world in game-changing, trailblazing resistance to this.
► 00:43:03
But I don't understand why we're king.
► 00:43:06
I actually feel pathetic.
► 00:43:08
I feel dirty.
► 00:43:09
My half-assed attempt at this is the best we got?
► 00:43:14
Pull my eyes out with pliers, I get a billion dollars?
► 00:43:17
No!
► 00:43:19
Take my soul?
► 00:43:21
Who I am?
► 00:43:22
What I stand for?
► 00:43:23
For money?
► 00:43:25
So this is where...
► 00:43:26
God bless America!
► 00:43:29
Lee Greenwood just kicks in.
► 00:43:31
Land Alex Jones!
► 00:43:33
But do you see at the end there, that's really where I think he's itching for drama.
► 00:43:37
That, like, take out my eyes for a billion dollars?
► 00:43:41
That was the Independence Day speech.
► 00:43:42
That's what that was.
► 00:43:44
That's the Independence Day speech to a T. And he really seems to think that this taking out the eyes for a billion dollars that he's just suggested himself is a literal offer that someone's made.
► 00:43:54
Well, I mean, why?
► 00:43:55
And also, what would they do with those eyes?
► 00:43:58
They'd probably put them in with the fetuses that they've harvested.
► 00:44:02
And a pizzagator.
► 00:44:04
And try and...
► 00:44:04
Well, what I would do is put them into an Alex Jones robot.
► 00:44:08
Oh, that'd be great.
► 00:44:09
So then you could look into...
► 00:44:10
So the eyes are the windows to the soul.
► 00:44:12
That's true.
► 00:44:12
We all know this.
► 00:44:13
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
► 00:44:13
You put them in an Alex Jones robot, you've already stolen his soul if you steal his eyes.
► 00:44:18
That's true.
► 00:44:19
That makes perfect sense.
► 00:44:20
I think...
► 00:44:21
Look, you first came in with the Alex Jones is drunk theory, which is amazing.
► 00:44:25
And then you come in with this second theory.
► 00:44:27
I think you're killing it here.
► 00:44:29
I think I have short-circuited his show.
► 00:44:31
What was that other...
► 00:44:32
The rocket scientist badass move.
► 00:44:35
When has anybody ever described a rocket scientist as a badass?
► 00:44:40
I don't know about Elon Musk.
► 00:44:41
Are we talking Armageddon?
► 00:44:43
Elon Musk is not a rocket scientist.
► 00:44:46
He could be.
► 00:44:48
Give him a rocket.
► 00:44:49
I don't think he's a badass either.
► 00:44:51
Yeah, that's debatable.
► 00:44:52
But those guys weren't rocket scientists either.
► 00:44:54
They were roughnecks.
► 00:44:55
No, so...
► 00:44:56
They were oilmen.
► 00:44:57
Is there any rocket scientist badass that you can think of?
► 00:45:00
I can think of one.
► 00:45:01
Okay.
► 00:45:01
He was a guy who was a contestant on the second season of Survivor.
► 00:45:04
Okay.
► 00:45:05
That wasn't the second season, it might have been like the fifth.
► 00:45:07
He was pretty cool, he was fucking hot as shit, and he was a rocket scientist.
► 00:45:11
That's pretty badass.
► 00:45:12
Oh no, I can think of one.
► 00:45:13
He probably fucked like four people on that beach.
► 00:45:16
The guy who helped work on the Manhattan Project, who was also a Satanist.
► 00:45:21
That's pretty cool.
► 00:45:22
Yeah, read up on this dude, I can't remember his name.
► 00:45:26
So...
► 00:45:26
He was a Satanist rocket scientist who got mixed in with Alistair Crowley.
► 00:45:31
Oh, it's easy to get mixed up with Crowley.
► 00:45:33
Oh, man.
► 00:45:34
His story is absolutely bananas.
► 00:45:37
Do you remember what his name was?
► 00:45:38
I don't.
► 00:45:39
I think if you search Manhattan Project Satanist.
► 00:45:42
Yeah, it's probably easy to find.
► 00:45:44
So the other thing that I think is fucking gorgeous about this clip is in the same way when earlier he was like, that was when they were trying to get me into the club.
► 00:45:54
Maybe they weren't.
► 00:45:56
There's the same moment of insecurity here where he's like, I don't think that what we're doing is that great.
► 00:46:03
That was super...
► 00:46:04
My half-assed attempt is...
► 00:46:07
Is the best we got?
► 00:46:07
Is he okay?
► 00:46:09
I'm worried.
► 00:46:10
The name of the rocket scientist is Jack Parsons.
► 00:46:12
Okay.
► 00:46:12
Oh, I know that name.
► 00:46:13
Yeah, yeah.
► 00:46:14
Read up on him.
► 00:46:15
He's fucking batshit.
► 00:46:16
All right.
► 00:46:16
So you'd consider him a celebrity?
► 00:46:18
I would consider him a badass.
► 00:46:19
But do you think he's a celebrity?
► 00:46:21
Well, I didn't know his name, so probably not.
► 00:46:24
Well, that's good, because Alex has some bad things to say about celebrities.
► 00:46:27
Okay.
► 00:46:29
And you're nobody, because you're watching the TV, and it's some beautiful people up there that are totally anorexic, totally unhappy, got managers about to kill them, total mafia running it.
► 00:46:39
But you're supposed to make a look at that.
► 00:46:40
Well, I don't have that big house and a hundred Kardashian bags in my closet.
► 00:46:47
It's meant to make you feel small to think these people are God.
► 00:46:53
And none of it means anything.
► 00:46:55
See, now here's the thing.
► 00:46:57
I totally agree with him on that.
► 00:46:59
I do too.
► 00:46:59
I 100% agree with him.
► 00:47:01
I do too.
► 00:47:01
He absolutely...
► 00:47:03
No, this is a drunken introspection.
► 00:47:06
It kind of is.
► 00:47:07
This is him kind of just...
► 00:47:08
Like, he may be in an actual confession booth.
► 00:47:13
Like, if there was just a fucking priest on the other side of his wall, just him going like...
► 00:47:20
I don't know what it means anymore.
► 00:47:22
My half-assed attempt is all this world has.
► 00:47:25
I'm not even a badass.
► 00:47:28
He's like maybe half an hour of tape away from saying, I'm not sure the globalists exist.
► 00:47:36
Am I making this up?
► 00:47:38
He's so close.
► 00:47:40
But yeah, I think it is important when he says things that are like...
► 00:47:44
Yeah, I'm into that.
► 00:47:45
No, he absolutely nailed it.
► 00:47:46
It's important to give him some credit.
► 00:47:47
And the idea of celebrity worship is kind of a toxic idea.
► 00:47:51
Absolutely.
► 00:47:52
And he absolutely nailed it whenever he likened them to gods, because that is kind of what we do.
► 00:47:57
Instead of having a pantheon, we have celebrity culture.
► 00:48:00
Now, at the same time, it's wrong of him necessarily to blame the celebrities for the situation they're in.
► 00:48:05
And secondarily, it's wacky to be like, they got agents about to kill them.
► 00:48:11
It's like, okay.
► 00:48:13
Well, I mean, he's gotta go wacky.
► 00:48:14
He's gotta take the turn into awesome.
► 00:48:17
The foundation of Alex Jones' understanding of celebrity culture is that everyone who's famous has gone through, like, MKUltra conditioning, and they're all ritualistically abused.
► 00:48:28
Maybe that's not fully what he believes, but there's kernels of it.
► 00:48:31
And that they have handlers that will kill them if they get out of line.
► 00:48:34
And that's why people like Whitney Houston died.
► 00:48:38
Which, to be fair, is a little bit suspicious.
► 00:48:41
Marilyn Monroe?
► 00:48:42
Of course.
► 00:48:43
Absolutely.
► 00:48:43
She's the original, right?
► 00:48:45
I don't know.
► 00:48:45
There's probably people before that, but she's a big one.
► 00:48:48
Anyway, agreed on the celebrity worship stuff.
► 00:48:53
This clip is not over, and it gets weird.
► 00:48:57
Excellent.
► 00:48:58
It is further proof that he might be drunk.
► 00:49:01
It doesn't get...
► 00:49:03
Okay.
► 00:49:04
We get a glimpse into his psyche and what life he would like to be living.
► 00:49:08
Okay.
► 00:49:09
And it's strange.
► 00:49:10
Holy shit.
► 00:49:10
Yes, please.
► 00:49:11
Okay.
► 00:49:12
You might have to put the mic down because I think you're going to blurt laugh.
► 00:49:16
It's all completely empty.
► 00:49:19
I don't say this on a power trip because I feel dirty even saying it.
► 00:49:23
I've been to the top and I've been to the bottom.
► 00:49:28
And I say I'm at the top.
► 00:49:31
When I'm at the bottom, it's all upside down.
► 00:49:37
Sitting in a farmhouse with fields around you, with your family, and growing food and being a good person and knowing your neighbors transcends all of this.
► 00:49:55
Now keep in mind, we've got to finish the clip.
► 00:49:58
He's crying, right?
► 00:49:58
He's crying.
► 00:49:59
He's totally crying.
► 00:50:00
Okay, okay.
► 00:50:01
He's, well, he's doing his, what I think is fake crying, is what's going on.
► 00:50:06
Alright.
► 00:50:07
That sounded like a real sniff, though.
► 00:50:09
He's doing the hand over the face and the, like, kind of noises, but yeah, he's presenting crying.
► 00:50:16
Gotcha.
► 00:50:16
So anyway, here's the final part of his thought.
► 00:50:19
And this whole system is there to destroy the destiny of the species.
► 00:50:23
There wasn't much left there, I thought.
► 00:50:26
I thought there was more.
► 00:50:26
It's just a farmhouse.
► 00:50:28
Destroy the destiny of this species.
► 00:50:29
So all of us are supposed to be agrarian, apparently.
► 00:50:32
Yeah.
► 00:50:34
I mean, and that's, if that's your fantasy, I mean, so to me, the first thing I thought of was he thinks of himself as Russell Crowe in the movie Gladiator.
► 00:50:44
That's what's happening.
► 00:50:45
Or any number of weird, old-timey fantasy movies.
► 00:50:48
Yeah, that's true.
► 00:50:48
That's true.
► 00:50:49
Can you toss me my coat safely without knocking this over?
► 00:50:52
Absolutely.
► 00:50:52
Thank you.
► 00:50:54
This is perfect podcasting right here.
► 00:50:57
Sure.
► 00:50:58
Okay, so he sounds so fucking depressed.
► 00:51:03
He does.
► 00:51:03
He sounds so sad, and that whole I've been to the top, I've been to the bottom thing seems like an alcoholic's anonymous meeting.
► 00:51:10
No, because he's talking about show business.
► 00:51:11
When he says, I've been to the top, he knocks the desk.
► 00:51:14
He's like, and it's right here.
► 00:51:15
Oh, he's right here.
► 00:51:17
This is the top.
► 00:51:18
All right.
► 00:51:18
And that's why he says it's upside down.
► 00:51:21
Right.
► 00:51:23
Famous.
► 00:51:23
And in the system, that's the bottom.
► 00:51:25
Where he's at, that's the top, baby.
► 00:51:28
Now, here's something that I want to propose.
► 00:51:29
A potential thing.
► 00:51:31
Wait, but he's been to the bottom.
► 00:51:34
Yep.
► 00:51:34
But he has...
► 00:51:35
He was in Waking Life.
► 00:51:36
Oh, okay.
► 00:51:37
Well, that's true.
► 00:51:38
He was in Amerigeddon.
► 00:51:39
That's true.
► 00:51:40
He was in Amerigeddon.
► 00:51:40
Three major motion pictures.
► 00:51:42
He's had suggestions of, we'll give you a $3 million book deal every year.
► 00:51:47
Yep.
► 00:51:47
So, I mean, that's the bottom.
► 00:51:49
Three-year contract for $10 million.
► 00:51:51
Sure.
► 00:51:51
Yeah, they offered him a lot of...
► 00:51:53
Alex Jones leading man material.
► 00:51:56
Maybe they didn't.
► 00:51:57
Maybe they didn't give him that.
► 00:51:58
I don't know.
► 00:51:59
So I think this assessment that he's pretty depressed might be right on.
► 00:52:03
And here's what I want to suggest in terms of if we look at the narrative.
► 00:52:07
So he dropped this before he left for break.
► 00:52:10
Right before he left for break.
► 00:52:12
This is right before he left?
► 00:52:13
Yes.
► 00:52:14
And I think that maybe...
► 00:52:17
There was a piece in his head that he thought he was going to die.
► 00:52:21
I think that there's a chance that he thinks this is his last message.
► 00:52:26
So you think he got high on his own supply?
► 00:52:29
Maybe.
► 00:52:29
Okay.
► 00:52:30
I don't know.
► 00:52:31
Because we still haven't established whether or not we believe he believes what he is saying he believes.
► 00:52:37
That's true.
► 00:52:38
We're still in this labyrinthine.
► 00:52:40
Is he playing us?
► 00:52:42
Does he believe it?
► 00:52:43
Does he believe some of it?
► 00:52:45
It's another communist Chinese nesting doll.
► 00:52:47
Exactly.
► 00:52:47
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
► 00:52:48
The layers of belief are like just a propaganda onion.
► 00:52:52
Yeah!
► 00:52:52
It's insane.
► 00:52:53
I want to know more about...
► 00:52:55
I genuinely want to go to a bar with him and just listen to him talk in a...
► 00:53:02
I'm not sure you do.
► 00:53:03
I bet it wouldn't be fun.
► 00:53:04
Maybe that's a good point.
► 00:53:06
Because if he acts like this when he's drunk...
► 00:53:08
Well, but this is fascinating.
► 00:53:12
There's no doubt about that.
► 00:53:14
This is very fascinating to listen to him talk to.
► 00:53:17
It's a bummer.
► 00:53:19
It's very much a bummer.
► 00:53:21
Which is kind of why I have this little kernel of thought that maybe he thinks he's going to die.
► 00:53:25
Okay.
► 00:53:26
If you look at it through that prism, it's fascinating.
► 00:53:31
Can I have one of those?
► 00:53:32
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
► 00:53:33
It's fascinating because it's like, what would your last message be if you had a flock?
► 00:53:38
And this is what he chooses to do.
► 00:53:40
If you look at it through that lens, it's super bizarre he started by shitting on Megyn Kelly.
► 00:53:46
But it makes sense why he would talk about Luby's Diner and why he would get into this sort of I wish I lived in a farmhouse and knew my neighbors.
► 00:53:55
This sort of thing kind of comes into focus a little bit.
► 00:53:58
Yeah, that does.
► 00:53:59
There's still more of you.
► 00:54:01
Why am I feeling sorry for Alex Jones now?
► 00:54:05
Why did you make this happen?
► 00:54:06
Because we have empathy within our hearts.
► 00:54:09
That's a good point.
► 00:54:10
Others don't.
► 00:54:12
So he goes on from there.
► 00:54:13
I cut nothing out in between those two clips, where he talks about how we should live in farmhouses and know our neighbors, into this next thought, which...
► 00:54:22
Does he like the band Fish?
► 00:54:24
No.
► 00:54:24
He would hate them.
► 00:54:25
He would hate them?
► 00:54:26
They have a good song about farmhouses.
► 00:54:28
Oh, that is a good song.
► 00:54:30
I like...
► 00:54:31
One of their songs.
► 00:54:32
It is that one!
► 00:54:34
The one that doesn't last 45 minutes.
► 00:54:37
I think at this point he realized that he'd forgotten that he's doing a political show, and so he had to jump back to politics.
► 00:54:44
And he says one of the things that I think is the strangest sentence I've even heard come out of his mouth.
► 00:54:52
Excellent.
► 00:54:52
Now get your butthole ready for this fucking thing.
► 00:54:57
Trump doesn't believe in the golden palace as he lives in and the suits and the super hot wives.
► 00:55:02
He does that because he knows that's what you've been captured by.
► 00:55:06
And his whole life has been a plan to hide Wow.
► 00:55:14
Wow.
► 00:55:15
Okay.
► 00:55:16
Unpack that fucking sentence.
► 00:55:18
Okay.
► 00:55:18
So this whole thing, this whole Trump thing has been a sleeper cell...
► 00:55:26
What?
► 00:55:26
What?
► 00:55:27
From birth, baby.
► 00:55:28
What?
► 00:55:29
From birth?
► 00:55:30
From birth.
► 00:55:32
Okay, now, is he ascribing Trump full consciousness from birth?
► 00:55:39
More or less.
► 00:55:40
Well, no, the from birth, I'm being hyperbolic.
► 00:55:43
No, of course, but when does he think this plan came up?
► 00:55:46
Because Trump has been rich since he was born.
► 00:55:48
Yes, but he's not into it.
► 00:55:51
Although every indication, all of his behaviors have indicated, he's super into it.
► 00:55:55
But he's really, really good at it.
► 00:55:57
I mean, obviously, he's really good because he's had so many years at practice.
► 00:56:02
No, at making you think that he's obsessed with all this pomp and circumstance.
► 00:56:06
And the gold house.
► 00:56:08
The literal gold house.
► 00:56:10
Because he knows that we're trapped in materialism and that that is what's going to impress us.
► 00:56:16
That's what's going to endear him to us.
► 00:56:19
He's like, he doesn't care about that.
► 00:56:20
He's a good man.
► 00:56:22
And it's like, it's a battered spouse.
► 00:56:24
Oh, that's a good point.
► 00:56:26
Because he's just now realizing that maybe Trump is not the man he thinks Trump is going to be.
► 00:56:32
I'm defending someone who's undefendable to some extent.
► 00:56:35
I think there is that glimmer there.
► 00:56:38
Yeah.
► 00:56:39
He has to have started to figure out.
► 00:56:42
That all of the stuff that he thought Trump was going to do, he's signaling that he is not going to do any of that stuff.
► 00:56:48
I don't think he's starting to figure that out.
► 00:56:49
Oh, you don't think so?
► 00:56:50
No.
► 00:56:51
In much the same way that I do believe there are forces behind the scenes that are a bit more nefarious than are being presented, I think Alex might be...
► 00:57:02
He might be compromised.
► 00:57:05
Alex might be compromised.
► 00:57:06
He might also be compromised.
► 00:57:08
Okay.
► 00:57:09
I don't...
► 00:57:09
Well, I mean, he was on Russian television.
► 00:57:12
Being told that he defined American males.
► 00:57:16
Jesus.
► 00:57:17
The new American...
► 00:57:18
What a dick suck.
► 00:57:20
Un-Americanism is over.
► 00:57:22
I'd love to play that clip, but it's so long and stupid.
► 00:57:24
Yeah.
► 00:57:25
Go find it.
► 00:57:25
It's on InfoWars' YouTube channel.
► 00:57:27
Excellent.
► 00:57:28
Yes, we definitely need to direct people to InfoWars' YouTube channel.
► 00:57:31
Don't go there.
► 00:57:31
Hey, you know what?
► 00:57:32
Yeah.
► 00:57:33
Don't give them any more clicks.
► 00:57:35
Definitely don't buy any virility pills.
► 00:57:37
That's all we ask.
► 00:57:39
I'm not saying for sure that he is...
► 00:57:41
And I don't want to speculate because, I mean, obviously there's no evidence of it, but his tone changed so dramatically about Trump that it does bring into question, like, what the fuck is going on?
► 00:57:52
So I was watching a clip of him earlier today.
► 00:57:54
He was talking about how Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin would be a perfect ticket.
► 00:57:59
He was talking about how he's getting, like, he literally was saying he was having wet dreams about that being a ticket.
► 00:58:06
He was like...
► 00:58:10
It's insane.
► 00:58:11
To go from that to Trump is so big a jump.
► 00:58:16
That clip was in late 2015, so it's not like that was decades ago or something like that.
► 00:58:24
It's bizarre.
► 00:58:27
There's a decent chance that the compromisingness is from Trump himself.
► 00:58:34
Or from Roger Stone or something like that.
► 00:58:36
Do you think Trump gives him a lot of compliments?
► 00:58:39
Oh yeah.
► 00:58:40
Okay.
► 00:58:40
Oh, yeah.
► 00:58:41
Now, why?
► 00:58:43
Because, you know, I mean, we talked about this before.
► 00:58:46
One of the ways you can compromise people or get them to, like, without any threats is to butter up their ego.
► 00:58:51
Yeah, the Russian thing.
► 00:58:52
But has Trump shown any inclination towards doing that to anybody?
► 00:58:58
Putin.
► 00:58:58
Okay, that's a good point.
► 00:58:59
He compliments Putin all the goddamn time.
► 00:59:01
Yeah, but maybe that's because he has to.
► 00:59:03
Maybe.
► 00:59:03
I don't know.
► 00:59:04
That's entirely possible.
► 00:59:05
But then also, I mean, he...
► 00:59:07
Trump was on Alex's show.
► 00:59:09
Oh, he was?
► 00:59:10
Oh, yeah.
► 00:59:10
He appeared on the show when he was running.
► 00:59:13
No shit.
► 00:59:14
He said, basically, you're going to be really excited about me.
► 00:59:20
I won't let you down.
► 00:59:22
That was the sentiment.
► 00:59:23
Yeah, but that's not a compliment.
► 00:59:25
No, but he also talked about the good work that he's doing.
► 00:59:28
And if you believe the things that Alex says, Trump called him to thank him for his help after he won.
► 00:59:34
Okay.
► 00:59:35
But that could be a lie.
► 00:59:37
Well, that could be a lie.
► 00:59:38
But that does seem like something that is plausible.
► 00:59:40
Definitely.
► 00:59:42
Although, but no.
► 00:59:45
No, Trump wouldn't have done that.
► 00:59:46
No, I think he did.
► 00:59:47
But we're descending way too far into the world of speculation.
► 00:59:51
Yeah, we're speculating.
► 00:59:52
You're right.
► 00:59:52
We need to engage this as what it is.
► 00:59:54
So it's all a plan that Trump has had is to put together this entire persona of wealth.
► 01:00:03
In order to...
► 01:00:04
Trick us into loving him.
► 01:00:06
But why would he trick us into loving him?
► 01:00:10
Isn't the whole point...
► 01:00:11
As opposed to being a benevolent, decent person?
► 01:00:15
We just actually like you?
► 01:00:16
But the people who don't like him are the ones that are most...
► 01:00:22
Aren't they the ones who he thinks are into celebrity culture?
► 01:00:25
Yeah, it's convoluted.
► 01:00:27
That is convoluted.
► 01:00:28
No, all of it is like a weird...
► 01:00:31
Ouroboros, when you try and unpack the logic of it, it's like...
► 01:00:35
Well, because there's no logic of it.
► 01:00:36
He pretended to be loving richness and all this to get in with the insiders, only to double-cross them at this point, now that he's president.
► 01:00:46
I think that's the underlying...
► 01:00:49
So he's a full-on Manchurian candidate now.
► 01:00:51
Yes, but it's for the patriots.
► 01:00:53
He's a Manchurian candidate for the true Americans who aren't brainwashed by the globalists.
► 01:01:00
That's what Alex would say, I think.
► 01:01:03
So, with no previous inclination that this is happening, because all of Trump's actions up until this point have been, I love Trump.
► 01:01:15
I'm a big fan of Trump.
► 01:01:16
Trump, Trump, Trump.
► 01:01:17
And a lot of the positions he's publicly taken have been contradictory to...
► 01:01:21
Yeah.
► 01:01:22
The positions he has now.
► 01:01:23
Well, and the whole, like, we're going to get rid of Wall Street bankers and all of the Golden Sacks people, Goldman, not Golden Sacks, but fuck it.
► 01:01:31
They might as well have Golden Sacks.
► 01:01:32
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
► 01:01:33
They have Golden Ball Sacks.
► 01:01:34
Yeah, but again, it's that confirmation bias thing where it's like, well, yeah, they work for Goldman Sachs, but they've been fighting the globalists behind the scenes.
► 01:01:40
So he's got this whole everybody...
► 01:01:44
Everybody has been working towards this exact point.
► 01:01:48
Yes.
► 01:01:48
This is the most important moment in human history.
► 01:01:51
This is a...
► 01:01:52
I mean, Trump is 70, so let's give him some credit and say Trump didn't have this plan until he was 19?
► 01:02:00
Maybe.
► 01:02:01
Okay, so we're going to go as far back as we can reasonably go.
► 01:02:04
Trump has this plan.
► 01:02:05
At the same time...
► 01:02:07
All of these other people develop this exact same plan.
► 01:02:10
They eventually get together and figure out a way to enact this plan to bring us all to this point where they've successfully tricked everyone into worshipping money.
► 01:02:21
Yeah.
► 01:02:22
And now, now, they're going to go back on literally their entire lives to protect the patriots.
► 01:02:31
The true message of America.
► 01:02:34
The true message of America.
► 01:02:35
Yes.
► 01:02:36
What is the true...
► 01:02:37
Well, we're getting to the secret of 2017, right?
► 01:02:40
Maybe.
► 01:02:41
Maybe we already heard it.
► 01:02:43
Maybe it's farmhouses.
► 01:02:44
I mean, that is the secret, though.
► 01:02:46
That would be a great secret.
► 01:02:48
I've never seen the Northern Lights.
► 01:02:51
The secret is that fish song.
► 01:02:53
Welcome, this is a farmhouse.
► 01:02:55
Okay.
► 01:02:56
We got butterfly surprise.
► 01:03:00
Okay.
► 01:03:01
Okay.
► 01:03:02
The secret of 2017.
► 01:03:03
Is that all of these people.
► 01:03:05
Do you remember that news radio episode, The Secret of Management?
► 01:03:08
Yes.
► 01:03:09
It's kind of like that.
► 01:03:10
I'm with stupid.
► 01:03:14
It reminds me of that because it's like, okay.
► 01:03:17
This is supposed to be about the secret of 2017, and what we've covered so far, if we want to give a full breakdown, is that Megyn Kelly is ugly.
► 01:03:25
Luby's Diner is where Alex Jones proved he's a good man.
► 01:03:28
Obama can criticize black people because he's black, and he doesn't want people to have cars.
► 01:03:33
Alex has been in big movies.
► 01:03:35
He hasn't.
► 01:03:37
Alex wouldn't take a billion dollars to cut his eyes out.
► 01:03:40
He loves farms.
► 01:03:41
Celebrity worship sucks.
► 01:03:42
He's not a badass rocket scientist.
► 01:03:44
And Trump secretly hates his own world.
► 01:03:47
And it's all a plan.
► 01:03:47
Yeah.
► 01:03:48
It's all a plan.
► 01:03:49
But we're not done.
► 01:03:50
There's more.
► 01:03:52
I don't really remember what this clip says.
► 01:03:54
Okay.
► 01:03:55
The label is hypocrisy.
► 01:03:57
So we'll see what that means.
► 01:03:59
And look, I want to be completely straight with everybody.
► 01:04:03
Because I say we should be healthy and not eat GMO.
► 01:04:07
Because I say we shouldn't drink too much, or we should be strong, or we shouldn't watch too much TV.
► 01:04:11
It doesn't mean I don't do all the things I say you shouldn't do.
► 01:04:14
It just means that my soul's pointing in the right direction, and I am trying to tell you things that I know from my core are best, because I've experienced it.
► 01:04:22
Okay, that label was right.
► 01:04:25
That is the most correct label.
► 01:04:27
Do as I say, not as I do.
► 01:04:29
I'm telling you what to do, but I can't fucking do it myself.
► 01:04:32
I'm not going to do it.
► 01:04:33
Look at me.
► 01:04:35
I'm turning down major movie motion pictures.
► 01:04:37
Yeah, I could make $10 million a year.
► 01:04:39
I'm definitely not going to tell you to turn down major movie motion pictures.
► 01:04:43
No.
► 01:04:44
I'm doing it.
► 01:04:45
Not eat GMOs?
► 01:04:46
Has he ever...
► 01:04:47
Where did GMOs come from?
► 01:04:49
What do you mean?
► 01:04:49
He said, I'm telling you not to eat GMOs.
► 01:04:52
Yeah, you know, you don't want to eat those fake foods.
► 01:04:56
You don't want to eat that...
► 01:04:57
But where did that come from?
► 01:04:59
Does he...
► 01:04:59
He's a big anti-GMO guy.
► 01:05:01
Oh, okay.
► 01:05:02
Because that's a globalist poison, that whole thing.
► 01:05:05
Trying to poison the food supply.
► 01:05:06
Admittedly, Monsanto is one of the most evil organizations on the planet.
► 01:05:08
Sure, and I think the idea of patenting seeds is...
► 01:05:12
Horrible.
► 01:05:12
That's next level evil.
► 01:05:13
And the seeds that don't produce their own seeds.
► 01:05:17
Self-destructive seeds.
► 01:05:18
So you have to buy more seeds every year.
► 01:05:20
Which is maybe the most evil thing I can ever conceive of is like...
► 01:05:25
We're drug dealers for food.
► 01:05:28
Yeah, the idea of making famine more likely, or the idea of being real stingy with water, those two things I think are fundamentally, literally evil.
► 01:05:40
Yeah, no, that's about as evil as you can get.
► 01:05:43
Because you're literally tying lives now to money.
► 01:05:48
No longer any subsistence at all.
► 01:05:52
It is purely...
► 01:05:54
A oligarchical money structure.
► 01:05:56
Well, we've seen that narrative play out over and over again.
► 01:05:58
Yeah.
► 01:05:59
Tying poverty to, like, morality and being like, you're bad people because you're poor.
► 01:06:03
Yeah.
► 01:06:04
This idea of, like, who's that guy who just came out and was like, if you can't afford birth control, you shouldn't have sex.
► 01:06:09
It's like, fuck off, man.
► 01:06:11
Yeah, fuck that, dude.
► 01:06:11
What the hell kind of argument is that?
► 01:06:13
That's a non-argument.
► 01:06:15
And at least, at least 30, 40 years ago, they would have been like, have you tried the rhythm method?
► 01:06:20
At least!
► 01:06:21
Well, and even then, the pill was invented by a Catholic to just simulate the rhythm method.
► 01:06:27
And it would get rid- if you are legitimately against abortions, you are a fucking hypocrite if you're against birth control.
► 01:06:34
You are a massive, massive hypocrite.
► 01:06:37
Yeah.
► 01:06:37
Because birth control and morning after pills and stuff like that would eliminate 100% abortions.
► 01:06:44
Not 100%.
► 01:06:45
Not 100%.
► 01:06:46
A lot, though.
► 01:06:47
As we all learned from Jurassic Park, life finds a way.
► 01:06:51
Indeed.
► 01:06:51
Anyway, this is not over yet.
► 01:06:52
Not by a long shot.
► 01:06:54
This clip's weird.
► 01:06:57
That's the only setup you need.
► 01:06:58
Okay.
► 01:06:59
The eye has not seen, the ear has not heard, the mind has not dreamt of what is in the potentiality of this species if we go to the next level.
► 01:07:06
Look at everything we've done.
► 01:07:08
I love dolphins.
► 01:07:10
I love tigers.
► 01:07:12
I love elephants.
► 01:07:13
They're magic creatures.
► 01:07:15
They aren't one one hundred as magic as we are.
► 01:07:19
But the problem is, is that an elephant's majestic, strong, beautiful tiger.
► 01:07:23
It's all kind of in its spectrum.
► 01:07:26
He doesn't have those lows.
► 01:07:28
He doesn't have those highs.
► 01:07:29
See, we can go to the very bottom of hell.
► 01:07:33
We can meet the devil.
► 01:07:35
Or we can transcend and join God.
► 01:07:39
I love dolphins.
► 01:07:41
I love them.
► 01:07:42
But also, does he not know how dolphins act?
► 01:07:47
What do you mean?
► 01:07:47
Well, I mean, like, dolphins are rapists.
► 01:07:49
They love fish.
► 01:07:50
They do love fish.
► 01:07:52
Well, I mean, consent is a murky thing in the animal world.
► 01:07:55
Well, I mean, they've also raped people.
► 01:07:57
Well, I mean, consent is a weird thing for them.
► 01:07:59
They don't have the same, you know.
► 01:08:00
Well, we could all go to the bottom.
► 01:08:01
No, no, no, let's back off.
► 01:08:03
That is definitely your Kenneth Branagh dramatic speech right there.
► 01:08:09
The eyes don't see, the ears don't hear.
► 01:08:11
That's preaching.
► 01:08:12
I love dolphins.
► 01:08:13
What the fuck?
► 01:08:15
And I get his sort of like, look, animals are cool, but they aren't capable of what we are.
► 01:08:20
We can be the devil.
► 01:08:21
Or we can connect with God.
► 01:08:23
It's like, it's forced profundity.
► 01:08:26
That is such a weird...
► 01:08:28
That's such a weird track to go down.
► 01:08:32
Well, it doesn't make sense.
► 01:08:33
No, and now that's super...
► 01:08:35
It's A to B. That super supports your, you know, like, this is his last missive from before Death Row.
► 01:08:41
Wait till these last two clips.
► 01:08:43
Oh, God, yes, please.
► 01:08:44
All right, here we go.
► 01:08:45
This one...
► 01:08:45
Give it to me, baby.
► 01:08:46
...is a bit paranoid.
► 01:08:48
The spirit of evil is laying against us in an attempt to keep us from our birthright.
► 01:08:53
And all I can tell you is the enemy is smart.
► 01:08:56
These churches, when I go even near them, I almost throw up.
► 01:09:00
They are satanic.
► 01:09:01
So he's talking about how this is something that I actually think is really dangerous.
► 01:09:07
In the same way that they try and demonize the press and like, no, we're the real press.
► 01:09:13
Right.
► 01:09:13
That's a really bad sort of mentality.
► 01:09:15
Well, what they're trying to do is set themselves up as the single voice.
► 01:09:19
And when you do that, then you can just...
► 01:09:22
Well, and just like how today Trump started...
► 01:09:25
They have this whole thing where he's trying to kick out the Associated Press.
► 01:09:29
We're taking back the press corps!
► 01:09:30
Yeah, which is like, oh, so you're literally saying that you're the only voice allowed to speak?
► 01:09:35
Well, Breitbart.
► 01:09:36
Oh, God.
► 01:09:37
We're all gonna die.
► 01:09:39
We're all gonna fucking die.
► 01:09:44
These churches, is he referencing specific churches?
► 01:09:47
Probably all of them.
► 01:09:48
But here's the thing.
► 01:09:49
Well, because my first reaction to that was he's more talking about not literal churches, but like the churches to...
► 01:09:58
No, he's talking about literal churches?
► 01:10:00
Because if he's talking about like the megachurch, like those whole things...
► 01:10:04
He might actually be into them.
► 01:10:05
Really?
► 01:10:06
But those are the most evil churches.
► 01:10:09
Well, we know that because we've been to them as children.
► 01:10:11
Yeah, yeah.
► 01:10:11
Well, and those are all like...
► 01:10:13
But here's the thing.
► 01:10:15
It's money.
► 01:10:16
Those are money churches.
► 01:10:17
But he loves prosperity.
► 01:10:18
That's true.
► 01:10:19
But here's the thing.
► 01:10:20
But also, prosperity is just a trick?
► 01:10:24
Maybe.
► 01:10:24
I don't know.
► 01:10:25
It's so fucking hard to unpack.
► 01:10:26
Yeah.
► 01:10:26
There's inherent contradictions everywhere.
► 01:10:29
But here's the thing.
► 01:10:30
When you talk about these churches being evil and stuff like that, I think that there's a really fair point that you can make about child abuse in the Catholic Church.
► 01:10:39
I think there's fairly abusive things done to people in almost all churches in terms of brainwashing, in terms of just sort of foundational problems that organized religion has.
► 01:10:53
That's not what he's talking about.
► 01:10:54
Right.
► 01:10:54
He's talking about the message of Christ has been bastardized by these churches.
► 01:10:59
But he understands the true...
► 01:11:01
Okay.
► 01:11:02
Which is...
► 01:11:02
But of course he gives zero bastardization examples.
► 01:11:06
No.
► 01:11:06
But it's also what, like, in the early church they would do, and that's why people rebelled against it.
► 01:11:13
It was that back in the day there would be the priest...
► 01:11:16
Who had the Holy of Holies, the center of the church where he could communicate with God and tell everyone else what God wanted them to know.
► 01:11:23
Which is a great move.
► 01:11:25
It's a beautiful scam.
► 01:11:26
It's such a good scam.
► 01:11:27
Yeah, and that's kind of...
► 01:11:28
As the board just proved.
► 01:11:30
Yeah.
► 01:11:30
They got so fucking good at it.
► 01:11:32
And that's sort of...
► 01:11:33
And that's why the Protestant Reformation happened.
► 01:11:35
Yeah, it had to.
► 01:11:36
Yeah.
► 01:11:37
And that's sort of what he's hearkening back to.
► 01:11:39
Now, I'm not saying that he's going to be like, only I can talk to God.
► 01:11:42
But he's like...
► 01:11:44
Only I have the right view of it.
► 01:11:48
And if you agree with my view of it, then you're right, too.
► 01:11:50
Because, yeah, he's got a very messianic situation going on here as well.
► 01:11:55
So not only is this his last message before death row, this is his three days before he's resurrected, too.
► 01:12:01
Yeah.
► 01:12:02
Oh, boy.
► 01:12:03
The script goes on.
► 01:12:04
The enemy is in the churches.
► 01:12:05
They're in the media.
► 01:12:06
They're in the government at the top.
► 01:12:08
Doesn't mean the government's our enemy.
► 01:12:10
But I'm here to tell you, if you simply...
► 01:12:13
Humble yourself and get before God.
► 01:12:17
The destiny is waiting, and we can have it all right now.
► 01:12:21
That's a creepy fucking sentence.
► 01:12:25
He just said the enemy is basically everything.
► 01:12:28
Everything.
► 01:12:29
The enemy is everything.
► 01:12:31
All institutions have been corrupted by the New World Order, by the Illuminati, by the globalists, by these evil forces, and they have twisted the message of Jesus.
► 01:12:42
They've twisted...
► 01:12:43
The message of freedom.
► 01:12:44
Which, I mean, it's not like that's a...
► 01:12:48
Like, that's not an insane thing to say in a smaller sense.
► 01:12:53
Yeah.
► 01:12:54
Because all of these things, you know, like, power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
► 01:12:59
And beyond that, like, institutions are just collections of people.
► 01:13:02
Exactly.
► 01:13:03
So if you have bad people in an institution that is inherently good...
► 01:13:07
The institution will turn back.
► 01:13:08
Yeah, absolutely.
► 01:13:09
So, I mean, you can have a single church with bad people in it, and now you've got a bad church.
► 01:13:13
But now I want to get into the humble yourself before God situation.
► 01:13:17
And that's how we get...
► 01:13:19
Utopia?
► 01:13:21
Sure.
► 01:13:22
As if everybody just humbles themselves before God.
► 01:13:24
As Alex understands God.
► 01:13:26
As Alex does himself, because as we all know, he does not ever want to imply that he is a badass rocket scientist.
► 01:13:34
No, never.
► 01:13:35
Jesus Christ.
► 01:13:36
But you have to humble yourself exactly the same way he wants you to, to the same principles and same idea of God.
► 01:13:43
Or else what you're doing is just evil.
► 01:13:44
You're just being misled.
► 01:13:46
It sounds like he's such an absolutist.
► 01:13:49
He is.
► 01:13:50
It doesn't sound that way.
► 01:13:52
No, you're right.
► 01:13:52
That's a good point.
► 01:13:53
That's a good point.
► 01:13:54
And yet, at the same time, he leaves himself open.
► 01:13:57
He's a cult leader.
► 01:13:58
He's David Koresh.
► 01:14:00
That's what he's trying to be.
► 01:14:02
Oh, God.
► 01:14:03
No, that's not the next clip.
► 01:14:04
Oh, Jesus, because if that was the next clip, I swear to God, I would have killed myself right now.
► 01:14:08
The Branch Davidian Church...
► 01:14:11
Incident?
► 01:14:12
I hate to call it that, but that was a foundational moment in his radicalization.
► 01:14:16
Oh, really?
► 01:14:17
Well, he is in Texas, and Waco isn't super far from Austin.
► 01:14:20
And that was a serious overstep.
► 01:14:24
Big time.
► 01:14:25
Yeah, that was horrific.
► 01:14:27
That was really fucked up.
► 01:14:28
The cult was really fucked up, and then what happened to them was really fucked up.
► 01:14:31
Yeah, that was Janet Reno.
► 01:14:34
Directly, too, which is an even weirder fucking...
► 01:14:36
That whole thing is bananas.
► 01:14:37
And he has all kinds of ideas about how Clinton was personally involved and had to cover up because there were child sex rings involved and shit like that.
► 01:14:45
Of course.
► 01:14:45
Why wouldn't there be child sex rings involved?
► 01:14:47
The conspiracy that he's dreamt up has evolved over the years, but that was...
► 01:14:52
Waco, to him, was like...
► 01:14:56
What year was that?
► 01:14:57
Like, 92?
► 01:14:57
No idea.
► 01:14:58
I have no idea either.
► 01:14:59
But it was 90s.
► 01:14:59
I would say probably mid-90s.
► 01:15:01
That was when he was sort of, like, just starting to get these ideas.
► 01:15:06
That was probably when he was in junior college, if I have the timeline correct.
► 01:15:09
And that was when he was starting to get, like, read that book, that none dare call it a conspiracy.
► 01:15:15
And all this stuff starts to bubble up in his head.
► 01:15:18
And it becomes this.
► 01:15:20
Okay.
► 01:15:21
After years of pressure cooking.
► 01:15:23
This is where we find ourselves.
► 01:15:25
Well, because to me, just going by our last episode, whenever we talked about the Y2K thing, he seemed more like just a conspiracy theorist.
► 01:15:36
Yep.
► 01:15:36
Just like, I am throwing all this stuff at the wall to sell you survival food.
► 01:15:43
And gold.
► 01:15:44
And gold.
► 01:15:44
At that point, yeah.
► 01:15:45
And instead, now, this is a full-on cult leader message.
► 01:15:50
Like, there's no...
► 01:15:52
Because in this...
► 01:15:53
Missive from the edge of the world, which, as we all know, is where Russia put the fucking radar blockers.
► 01:16:01
Sure, sure.
► 01:16:02
Because they go down.
► 01:16:04
There's no sales pitch here.
► 01:16:06
There's no sales pitch.
► 01:16:07
No.
► 01:16:08
Do you hear any sales pitch?
► 01:16:09
It's one of the longest stretches I've ever heard him talk without bringing up iodine or super male vitality.
► 01:16:15
This is all fear and loathing and depression and worry.
► 01:16:20
It might be a snapshot of his soul.
► 01:16:22
Yeah, this is really sad.
► 01:16:25
I feel really bad for him.
► 01:16:27
Because if he's in this headspace, and it sounds like he really is.
► 01:16:31
It does seem that way.
► 01:16:31
Like, this is the first time I've heard him and I've thought...
► 01:16:34
This rings so genuine that he believes every single thing he's saying.
► 01:16:39
I also should say, if you were watching the video, you would see that the crying is a little fake.
► 01:16:44
Maybe his body language doesn't support the...
► 01:16:47
No, I'm not disagreeing with your conclusion, but if you watch the body language, there is a bit of showmanship to it, too.
► 01:16:54
Okay.
► 01:16:54
Well, but he's a natural showman.
► 01:16:56
I don't know if he could turn that off if he wanted to.
► 01:16:58
After 22 years in April?
► 01:17:00
Right.
► 01:17:00
Oh.
► 01:17:02
But I think that what is important that we can take away is that, like, this is kind of what happens.
► 01:17:08
When you go down these roads to whole hog, these conspiracy roads, what ends up happening is it evolves.
► 01:17:17
When you wear a mask long enough, the mask becomes your face.
► 01:17:19
Sure.
► 01:17:20
But it's more than that.
► 01:17:21
You'll also wear an outfit.
► 01:17:25
It's not just the mask anymore.
► 01:17:27
It becomes something different.
► 01:17:29
In the movie of Alex Jones' life, one, who plays him?
► 01:17:35
Oh.
► 01:17:36
Two, what does he wear?
► 01:17:39
I don't know who plays him.
► 01:17:40
That's crazy.
► 01:17:42
Because we're talking about somebody with a low...
► 01:17:44
We're talking about...
► 01:17:45
I would say, if it were me, Sir Anthony Hopkins would crush it.
► 01:17:49
Too old.
► 01:17:50
Too old?
► 01:17:51
No way.
► 01:17:52
Anthony Hopkins can play any age.
► 01:17:53
You've got a lot of skill.
► 01:17:55
I would say let's fuck around.
► 01:17:57
Meryl Streep?
► 01:17:58
I say we fuck around.
► 01:17:59
Okay, Alex always talks about how back in the day he was a great athlete and he could have gone pro.
► 01:18:04
Brad Pitt.
► 01:18:05
No.
► 01:18:05
Brad Pitt as a character actor, Brad Pitt.
► 01:18:07
No.
► 01:18:08
Not leading man Brad Pitt.
► 01:18:09
We gotta go younger.
► 01:18:10
I'm saying Channing fucking Taylor.
► 01:18:14
Let's stroke Alex's ego.
► 01:18:16
Okay.
► 01:18:16
We have to get him to sign off on this.
► 01:18:18
That's true.
► 01:18:19
That's true.
► 01:18:20
So we get the guy from fucking Magic Mike to play you.
► 01:18:23
You sign on to this docu-pic?
► 01:18:25
I'm in.
► 01:18:26
I'm in.
► 01:18:27
We get him.
► 01:18:28
I think he can do voices.
► 01:18:30
Janning Tatum?
► 01:18:31
Yeah.
► 01:18:31
If not...
► 01:18:32
He just lip syncs it.
► 01:18:33
We get a Domian to do it.
► 01:18:35
Yeah, that would work.
► 01:18:36
A Domian would do this voice to perfection.
► 01:18:38
Oh, there's no doubt.
► 01:18:39
He probably already does.
► 01:18:40
That's true.
► 01:18:41
Well, this isn't that far from Jesse Ventura.
► 01:18:44
Or it's like Ventura plus Lycus equals Alex Jones.
► 01:18:48
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
► 01:18:49
Anyway, Alex has one last bit here.
► 01:18:52
And I want to be clear.
► 01:18:53
I cut out very little.
► 01:18:55
And I made sure to not cut out anything.
► 01:18:58
Between these clips that has to do with context.
► 01:19:01
Nothing was lost in the shuffle.
► 01:19:04
If you watch the video, it's a little bit longer, but I have not betrayed the spirit of this in any way.
► 01:19:11
Okay.
► 01:19:12
All right.
► 01:19:12
All right.
► 01:19:13
I just have to say that because, again, it's this whole internalizing, I have to treat this fairly.
► 01:19:18
Yeah.
► 01:19:19
Anyway.
► 01:19:19
That's what we're trying so fucking hard to do, and it's so hard.
► 01:19:23
Here's his farewell to this.
► 01:19:27
Clip.
► 01:19:28
Or to this whole video.
► 01:19:31
And by the end of it, we'll see if we know the secret to 2017.
► 01:19:36
I forgot about that entirely!
► 01:19:38
I forgot about the secret entirely!
► 01:19:42
And in that experiment, in that turning our will over to everything that's good and everything that came before us, we transcend the mortal bonds and join God.
► 01:19:52
And this whole world is about trying to suppress that.
► 01:19:56
So in my beginning transmission of 2017, I commit to you with all my warts and all our failings that I will always be true to you and that I know your spirit is a spirit that will chain the devil and restore humanity so that our species not fail because the enemy is a spirit of death.
► 01:20:19
Come to kill this planet and everything on it and we are the guardians of this planet.
► 01:20:26
And if we could prove ourselves at this level, it's a stairway to heaven.
► 01:20:35
The fulfillment of human destiny is in your hands.
► 01:20:38
And that's all I can tell you.
► 01:20:42
And that's the end of the video.
► 01:20:44
Okay.
► 01:20:45
That's pretty fucking...
► 01:20:46
Well, after he said Guardians, I think we know that we're talking about Chris Pratt for him now.
► 01:20:51
I think he would do a great job there.
► 01:20:53
His head shape is bright.
► 01:20:56
That's what I was thinking of with Tatum.
► 01:20:57
Tatum looks good bald.
► 01:20:58
That's true.
► 01:20:59
Oh, is Alex Jones bald?
► 01:21:00
No, he's not bald, but he has short, cropped hair.
► 01:21:02
Okay.
► 01:21:03
I think Chris Pratt's got too robust a head.
► 01:21:05
I think we're getting too bogged down into Chris Pratt's appearance.
► 01:21:08
Now we're Megan Kelly and Chris Pratt.
► 01:21:11
Off-air, we'll fantasy book this movie.
► 01:21:14
Okay, all right.
► 01:21:15
But you took some notes there.
► 01:21:16
Yeah, so that sounds so much like the prayers that my dad...
► 01:21:26
The prayers of our fathers.
► 01:21:28
Yeah, that's such a classic, you know, if you were raised in a kind of fringe church in the 80s, which clearly he was.
► 01:21:38
Alex?
► 01:21:39
Yeah.
► 01:21:39
I'm not sure about that.
► 01:21:40
He might have been.
► 01:21:41
He's got all the language.
► 01:21:42
Yeah, but he might have adopted it later.
► 01:21:44
He might have adopted it since his sort of reformation.
► 01:21:48
Well, if my dad's still doing it, it's not like it's gone away.
► 01:21:51
No.
► 01:21:51
You can pick it up in a lot of different places.
► 01:21:53
But that's such the language of, at the same time, trying to be humble while giving yourself all of the power.
► 01:22:02
Well, but it's like...
► 01:22:03
So it's like, you...
► 01:22:05
You need to humble yourself before God.
► 01:22:08
Because I already have.
► 01:22:10
This species is dependent on you.
► 01:22:13
But God has nothing to do with it until you're involved.
► 01:22:17
So it's such a weird, like, turn your will over to God, but God doesn't have any control over it.
► 01:22:24
It's such a weird way of thinking about it.
► 01:22:26
Especially in terms of, you know, your hard biblical Calvinism.
► 01:22:32
It's fascinating.
► 01:22:33
It is.
► 01:22:33
Also, the fact that he said species really bums me out there.
► 01:22:36
Yeah.
► 01:22:37
Because that's not what he's really going for.
► 01:22:40
No.
► 01:22:40
He doesn't understand what a species is.
► 01:22:42
Nope.
► 01:22:43
He's not a scientist.
► 01:22:44
He's just a man of feelings.
► 01:22:46
He's not a badass evolutionary scientist.
► 01:22:48
Nope.
► 01:22:48
Which, as we all know, there are tons of those.
► 01:22:51
But we also were...
► 01:22:52
I mean, your assessment is not taking into account that he's, again, crying at the end here.
► 01:22:57
I...
► 01:22:58
And when he's talking at the end here, a tear does go down.
► 01:23:02
No, it does?
► 01:23:03
Yeah, he has one tear.
► 01:23:04
Like the Italian guy who played the Native American in that commercial?
► 01:23:07
Indeed.
► 01:23:08
Exactly like that member of our species.
► 01:23:10
That species member.
► 01:23:12
Yeah.
► 01:23:14
So, what to you is the secret of 2017?
► 01:23:20
I always forget that part.
► 01:23:22
I need to know what you think.
► 01:23:23
You have a lot of scribbled notes.
► 01:23:25
Yes.
► 01:23:25
We've listened to, I mean, we're at an hour 20 here or so of breaking down this video.
► 01:23:31
What do I think is the secret of 2017?
► 01:23:32
I promise I didn't edit out the actual secret.
► 01:23:36
So this isn't some game show now where now I'm guessing at the end.
► 01:23:40
No.
► 01:23:40
We're not doing the match game.
► 01:23:42
Turns out it's by peanut butter.
► 01:23:44
Doesn't go bad in full protein.
► 01:23:46
The secret of 2017 is...
► 01:23:49
Buy these virility pills.
► 01:23:50
But he even signed off without doing a sales pitch at the end.
► 01:23:55
There was no sales pitch there.
► 01:23:56
And he didn't even throw in at the end like a support the network or anything like that.
► 01:24:00
Okay, so now I'm going for a unified field theory of all the batshit things that he said.
► 01:24:05
It's very disjointed, but what is the connectivity?
► 01:24:09
See, now...
► 01:24:09
Now I feel like I'm the guy from Zodiac.
► 01:24:13
I'm trying to put together all of these weird cryptic notes and creating a theory that I don't even know.
► 01:24:19
I'm putting pictures up on the wall, tying them together like Sherlock.
► 01:24:23
By the end, if we keep doing this podcast, eventually I'm going to have to buy a weird chalkboard for us to diagram stuff.
► 01:24:31
This is going to have to become a serious Glenn Beck segment.
► 01:24:35
Oh man, okay.
► 01:24:37
The enemy is everything.
► 01:24:39
Yes.
► 01:24:40
The church, the government.
► 01:24:41
He can't adhere to the things that he tells you to adhere to.
► 01:24:46
Yes.
► 01:24:46
He can only point to...
► 01:24:47
So he's calling himself John the Baptist here.
► 01:24:49
His gut.
► 01:24:50
Not Jesus.
► 01:24:50
His gut is unfailable.
► 01:24:52
Right.
► 01:24:52
He knows the truth.
► 01:24:53
Unfailable.
► 01:24:54
But he can't live it.
► 01:24:55
He never has diarrhea.
► 01:24:57
It's an unfailable gut.
► 01:24:57
He's failed.
► 01:24:59
He's really depressed.
► 01:25:02
Maybe that's the secret.
► 01:25:03
That could be the secret of 2017.
► 01:25:06
I am bummed out.
► 01:25:07
I want out.
► 01:25:08
Maybe that is it.
► 01:25:11
Because it seems like...
► 01:25:14
Here's what I'm putting all this together as.
► 01:25:18
I hope it's the same thought I have.
► 01:25:19
I just had a fucking revelation.
► 01:25:21
It is that he doesn't understand how to win.
► 01:25:26
After winning?
► 01:25:27
After winning.
► 01:25:28
Yeah.
► 01:25:29
Because the whole thing is him building an opposition.
► 01:25:32
So now he has lost the opposition.
► 01:25:35
He doesn't have anything to fight against anymore.
► 01:25:37
So he's really depressed because the government that he has been railing against is now what he wants you to believe in.
► 01:25:45
Yeah.
► 01:25:45
Except he spent 22 years telling you that they're all the globalists.
► 01:25:53
I think my response...
► 01:25:55
Did his purpose...
► 01:25:56
Did he fulfill his purpose and now he doesn't know what to do with his life?
► 01:25:59
My response to that, I think, is bingo.
► 01:26:02
That's really what I think the message of this is.
► 01:26:05
And it reminds me of a...
► 01:26:06
I don't know who I am now.
► 01:26:08
Yeah, it reminds me of the Dana Gould bit about astronauts and how if you've gone to the moon, everything after that must be completely a letdown.
► 01:26:17
Sure.
► 01:26:18
Like, oh man, I'm getting these AA batteries.
► 01:26:21
I used these when I went to the fucking moon!
► 01:26:25
Sure.
► 01:26:25
I mean, yeah, it's...
► 01:26:27
But I think that's an unfair comparison with that bit because I don't really think he's achieved that much.
► 01:26:31
No.
► 01:26:32
I think...
► 01:26:34
To him, well, one...
► 01:26:36
He ended anti-Americanism.
► 01:26:38
Well, that's true.
► 01:26:38
So he's achieved a lot more than even the...
► 01:26:41
If you believe literal Russian propagandists...
► 01:26:43
Even the astronauts didn't end anti-Americanism.
► 01:26:46
No, and we've had a fucking space station with them for 20 years.
► 01:26:49
And Space Command lives up there.
► 01:26:52
Space Command!
► 01:26:53
Space Command!
► 01:26:55
I think that there's also a tinge of buyer's remorse thrown in there.
► 01:27:01
Okay.
► 01:27:02
There's a little bit of a, I didn't want it to go this way.
► 01:27:05
Now, I might be putting too much on him, but there is, I think, fuck, I didn't want to win, or something like that.
► 01:27:14
There is just a, like, we gotta play a different game now.
► 01:27:18
We gotta play a different game.
► 01:27:19
How do you sell disaster supplies?
► 01:27:21
That's what's going on with the GOP.
► 01:27:22
How do you sell disaster supplies when you're winning?
► 01:27:24
It's about to win.
► 01:27:25
Yeah, we're winning, so what are we gonna do with disaster supplies?
► 01:27:28
The only way to do it is now change up the entire narrative to be like, Well, you know who's good at playing from the bottom?
► 01:27:35
Globalists.
► 01:27:37
There's no other way to do it.
► 01:27:39
Yeah, but now you're going from opposition to defense.
► 01:27:43
So he's going from offense to defense.
► 01:27:45
But it also turns into, when you're this sort of worldview, defense becomes witch hunts.
► 01:27:51
Yeah.
► 01:27:52
And that's something that I think is particularly scary.
► 01:27:54
I think it's a short jump.
► 01:27:59
You don't remember McCarthyism fondly?
► 01:28:01
No.
► 01:28:02
I'm pretty sure that I read a book where I was like, that was a great time!
► 01:28:05
Who wrote that?
► 01:28:06
Rob Dew?
► 01:28:08
Leanne McAdont.
► 01:28:10
Alright, guys.
► 01:28:11

I gotta go.
