Speaker Time Text
alex jones
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
unidentified
Hello, Alex.
I'm a first-time caller.
I'm a huge fan.
I love your work.
alex jones
I love you.
dan friesen
Hey, everybody.
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
I'm Dan.
jordan holmes
I'm Jordan.
dan friesen
This is a podcast where we sit around and drink some red wine and have a little conversation about InfoWars, but plot twist.
jordan holmes
What's the plot twist?
dan friesen
I know a lot about Alex Jones and InfoWars, and I listen to his show every day.
jordan holmes
You do?
dan friesen
Uh-huh.
jordan holmes
Okay.
unidentified
What about you?
jordan holmes
I'm going to tell you something.
I do not.
unidentified
You don't?
jordan holmes
I don't think I know anything about Alex Jones.
dan friesen
You know he's a man.
jordan holmes
He is a man.
dan friesen
A man.
jordan holmes
He's a really...
It's really important to him that he's a man.
dan friesen
He's a man.
Emphasis on man.
jordan holmes
It's really important to him that he's a white man.
dan friesen
He lives in occupied Texas, you know that.
jordan holmes
That's true.
dan friesen
And that's about it.
That's all you really need to know about him.
jordan holmes
That's all I need to know.
dan friesen
Guys, today we are going to be going over the day in the life of Alex Jones.
We're going to be going over Thursday, March 23rd.
On the Alex Jones program where a lot of really fucked up stuff happens and Alex Jones may or may not have lost a friend.
jordan holmes
No!
dan friesen
He has an interview that we're going to be breaking down in detail that I think might have fallout consequences for him.
jordan holmes
That's our next project is a children's book called...
Alex loses a friend.
Because of the fucking globalists!
dan friesen
There's no doubt the globalists are interwoven in this lack of a friendship.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
But before we get to the episode, before we get to the clips that we're going to play and discuss, I wanted to just take a second to reflect and bask in some Alex Jones-related news that we're not going to be going over.
jordan holmes
Excellent.
The classic what got cut.
dan friesen
It's not even what got cut.
Because it's just news that if we didn't talk about...
Everyone would be like, this is not a legit Alex Jones podcast.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it would be terrible if people thought that of us.
dan friesen
Absolutely.
The Twittersphere would be a flutter.
jordan holmes
The buzz!
dan friesen
So on Friday of last week, on the 24th, Alex Jones released an in-depth apology to James Alephantis, owner of Comet Ping Pong Pizza, about his involvement in Pizzagate.
jordan holmes
An un...
Unprecedented apology.
dan friesen
He still has the tone of like, hey, we were just reporting stuff.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
He's still being...
jordan holmes
Oh, as we all know, they're just really focused on getting good reporting out there.
dan friesen
We love the truth.
And other people were saying this.
It was viral.
We're just commenting on it.
Why are you guys being such bitches about it?
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
That's kind of his tone.
But at the same time, the language of his apology...
I texted you about this before the show.
I'm certain he's getting sued.
jordan holmes
Oh, absolutely.
dan friesen
The way he keeps bringing up James Aliphantus, the way he keeps saying, like, we heard these things.
The reporters who were talking about it aren't even here anymore.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
We are so sorry.
jordan holmes
We fired those people.
dan friesen
Yeah.
That is not unprompted.
jordan holmes
At the very least, got a strongly worded letter.
dan friesen
A hundred percent.
jordan holmes
Oh, absolutely.
dan friesen
But also, the other thing I wanted to unpack is that a couple months ago, he put out a video on YouTube called The Final Word on Sandy Hook.
jordan holmes
Oh, he's already got the final word out.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Which, boy, I'm glad we finally got to the bottom of that.
dan friesen
Well, he realized that people were attacking him for being a Sandy Hook truther and all this stuff.
jordan holmes
For being a pile of shit.
dan friesen
Yeah, and so he wanted to put out a video that once and for all spoke his piece about Sandy Hook.
jordan holmes
Was it just him shitting on the concept of grief?
dan friesen
I wish it was.
jordan holmes
Just a piece of paper with grief written on it as he shits on the desk.
dan friesen
If he just had a patchwork quilt done, and all of the pieces of it were people who had lost loved ones in tragedies, and he just shit on it.
jordan holmes
No!
dan friesen
That's what the video should have been.
jordan holmes
Jesus Christ!
dan friesen
That's the image in my head from now on.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
In reality, what it was was him playing a bunch of circumstantial...
Bullshit pieces of evidence that Sandy Hook might have been fake.
And then him at the end being like, this investigation is going to be ongoing.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
It's not the final word.
jordan holmes
How do you?
unidentified
What?
dan friesen
Yeah, it's not.
jordan holmes
He lied even in a lie?
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
God damn it.
dan friesen
But it's this trend.
jordan holmes
It's a Chinese nesting doll of lies.
dan friesen
The Chi-Com nesting doll.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
I'm starting to recognize that there are pieces of things that he has said.
That he's starting to walk back really hard.
Like, the Pizzagate one is one of them.
The Sandy Hook thing, he did a bad job of it in that video, but what he's trying to do is, like, distance and something.
He's trying to be like, yeah, we're just asking questions over here.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
That sort of thing.
And that means trouble.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Well, we don't have any clips of him ever apologizing for anything.
dan friesen
Not really.
jordan holmes
And even the ones where he is saying, you know, I may have gotten something wrong before, he's also always said, But really, I got it right, too.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
Look, I was more right than wrong.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, I'm not a perfect man, but I will say that 99% of the time, what we report on is right.
And frankly, that's probably 100%.
We round up here.
dan friesen
His great clip that is in one of our past episodes where he's like, I'm so plugged into the zeitgeist that even when I try to lie, I'm right.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, he's an insane person.
dan friesen
You fucking douche.
Anyway, let's get to the 23rd.
This is gonna be a rollercoaster ride.
There's going to be a sort of all-over-the-place beginning, then this interview that I mentioned, and then esoteric malaise.
jordan holmes
I have never heard those two words back-to-back before.
Esoteric malaise?
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
He's in an unpleasant state, but he's also getting real heady with it.
jordan holmes
He's finding ways to have malaise in a very weird and unusual type way.
dan friesen
Yes, absolutely.
It's great.
It's wonderful.
But that's just sort of a syllabus for what we're about to experience.
Let's get to this first clip that involves some of these leaks that are going on.
I'm not talking onions, my friend.
unidentified
Oh, God.
alex jones
And it's even in the Vault 7 leaks.
That they're targeting President Trump trying to plant Russian software that they've stolen and are using.
dan friesen
It's not.
alex jones
They claim he's working with the Russians.
You don't think some little hacker in his basement released Vault 7 two weeks ago.
That was right out of the White House.
You can bet your bottom dollar.
jordan holmes
Was it?
alex jones
Or let's just say allies of the return of the Republic.
dan friesen
Uh-oh.
jordan holmes
So the Jedi?
Is that who released it?
Wait, no, he can't.
That's bad.
That's bad what he just said, right?
dan friesen
Yeah, especially if it turns out that it is Russia who's releasing these things.
jordan holmes
I think it's even worse if it turns out it's the White House who's releasing these things.
dan friesen
Well, wait, state your case.
jordan holmes
Because how did they, one, how did they get it?
dan friesen
Probably illegally.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
So done.
We're done.
We're done right there.
That's why it's really bad.
dan friesen
But they're patriots.
jordan holmes
No!
But he's also already said the Russians are helping us out here.
dan friesen
That's why he had to stipulate friends who support the return of the Republic.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
You have these weird hacker collectives and stuff like that, like the Guccifer 2.0, which I don't know if it's true, but our intelligence community does believe that that is a cutout.
personality for Russian hackers to use as an intermediary to get the information to Wikileaks.
Now, if Alex Jones is saying that these people are, like, friends of the return of our republic, he's basically just saying that, like, Putin's helping us restore our republic.
And that's fucked up.
jordan holmes
Friends of the return of the treason.
That's treason, right?
That's treason.
If you're working with a non-allied power to perform what is essentially a coup, that's, by the definition of words, treason.
dan friesen
We keep coming back to this thing where you're so hung up on the idea that words have meaning.
jordan holmes
That's a really good point.
dan friesen
Yeah, I've been meaning to bring this up in our review sessions.
unidentified
Yeah, whatever.
jordan holmes
Yeah, HR is really pissed at me for believing in the meaning of words.
dan friesen
After every episode, we sit down and I give you an employee review and you give me an employee review.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yours is, what are you even doing here?
And mine is, you do all the work, thanks!
dan friesen
Yours is also, Dan, you have a problem.
You should talk to more people.
jordan holmes
Well, I didn't want to air our dirty laundry.
dan friesen
That's fine.
Anyway, Alex Jones is...
In this episode and throughout this last week has been pretty certain, is the right word, I think, that he's being oppressed.
He's got a real victim complex going on.
jordan holmes
Sure, he's being oppressed.
dan friesen
And this next clip, he explores a little bit of his thoughts about that.
alex jones
And they're openly in the news saying, shut down Alex Jones.
I was told by high-level sources that, again, just a few months ago, Nancy Pelosi's...
Had met with the outgoing head of the Justice Department, Loretta Lynch, and demanded I either be sued or demanded I somehow be arrested.
And she said I can't do it, so they started developing other plans that we'll be obviously seeing emerge soon.
I'm not going to talk about those yet, but...
jordan holmes
No, she didn't.
dan friesen
Yeah, no.
jordan holmes
Also, why would you talk to the outgoing?
Head of the Justice Department.
dan friesen
Well, because at that point...
jordan holmes
Why would you say to her, because she was already leaving, why would you say to her, like, now that you have zero power, it's time to really go after Alex Jones.
dan friesen
It's go time.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Our master plan was to get you as far away from power as humanly possible.
That way, what, is she going to infiltrate?
dan friesen
Yeah, no one suspects the former Attorney General.
unidentified
Yep.
jordan holmes
There's two things no one expects.
unidentified
Spanish Inquisition, former Attorney Generals.
jordan holmes
Everybody knows this.
This is why Janet Reno is currently working for Infowars.
You don't know it.
She's not on camera.
dan friesen
It's true.
It's true.
jordan holmes
She's a secret mole.
dan friesen
I believe the premise, as established by Alex here, is that Loretta Lynch wouldn't have stopped being Attorney General had Hillary won.
jordan holmes
Yeah, well, that's obvious.
dan friesen
And that's when they were making these plans.
jordan holmes
Before Alex Jones was really that important to anybody?
dan friesen
He was important back then.
jordan holmes
Okay, I apologize.
No, you're right.
You're right.
dan friesen
He got Trump elected.
jordan holmes
Boy, I wish there was less truth in that.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Anyway, this clip's not done.
alex jones
Understand, I officially already in D.C. have Obama and Hillary Clinton out of that command bunker they've got down the street.
jordan holmes
They do not have a command bunker.
dan friesen
A command bunker that doesn't exist?
unidentified
Yeah, okay.
jordan holmes
Where is it?
dan friesen
It doesn't...
You know where it is?
jordan holmes
It's always down the street.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's just around the block.
jordan holmes
It's just around the corner.
dan friesen
Past the McDonald's, it's right over there.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
You know where it exists?
Inside his little fantasy brain world.
That's the address.
Alex Jones' weird fantasy brain world.
jordan holmes
Did a hillbilly caller give him directions?
dan friesen
Now, boy, howdy, I tell you, the D.C.D.O.
Department of Transportation is out there, and they tell me that bunkers, there's bunkers.
unidentified
Bunkers?
Mm-hmm.
Excuse me, sir, I don't know when you turned into a southern gentleman.
dan friesen
No, I do declare.
unidentified
I do declare, Obama got a bunker now.
alex jones
They are coming after us, and they don't even hide this up there.
They want us to know.
We're coming after you with lawyers.
Get ready.
And they're in the Federal Elections Commission already, outside of law, just racketeering, sending letters to Google and letters to other companies saying, you kick off everybody.
I mean, every libertarian or patriotic or nationalistic news site that I talked to was kicked off AdRoll last month on the same day.
See?
Oh, we're not allowed.
To advertise supplements on the internet or t-shirts because the Federal Elections Commission said so?
Where are the hearings?
dan friesen
You don't get a hearing.
jordan holmes
Where are the hearings?
dan friesen
You don't get a hearing because it's not a legal thing.
jordan holmes
Yeah, capitalism.
dan friesen
It's a business.
jordan holmes
Capitalism.
dan friesen
It's a business that you violated their terms of service.
jordan holmes
Yeah, y 'all ever capitalism?
It's not a good, it's not necessarily the best system, but it is the one that we exist in now, Alex.
dan friesen
It's well within, especially what libertarians should believe in.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
We've been over this a hundred times, his whole ad roll being, I was kicked off because of the FEC narrative is complete nonsense.
jordan holmes
Nope.
But, that's, like, what he just said is the best.
Kind of evidence for him being currently issued papers by a lawyer.
It has to be like he is telling the truth.
Somebody is issuing him papers.
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
But it can't just be a pizza joint.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
Right?
They're just the front.
They're just the first wave.
Pelosi is operating secretly behind him.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Because if it's just a pizza joint...
All he warrants is a pizza joint, and that does not give him the inflated self-importance that he needs.
dan friesen
No, but it is, like, let's just say it is just James Elephantus and Comet Ping Pong that's suing him.
jordan holmes
Because that's the truth.
dan friesen
Well, we don't know that's the truth.
It seems like the most likely scenario.
jordan holmes
Right.
Occam's razor it.
dan friesen
If that is the case, he's fucked.
Like, he deserves to be sued.
And, like, that's a good case.
jordan holmes
Yeah, what would the case be?
It wouldn't be...
It can't be libel, can it?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Oh, is it libel?
dan friesen
Hard.
jordan holmes
How does that work?
dan friesen
What?
It's defamatory statements that were made through speculation.
jordan holmes
See, but it wasn't them insulting the pizza joint.
It was them just insisting that the pizza joint was a front for Hillary Clinton to rape children.
dan friesen
That's not insulting.
jordan holmes
That's not insulting at all!
dan friesen
That's actually implying that they're very enterprising.
unidentified
Exactly!
dan friesen
They've got a second business running out of there.
jordan holmes
You need more revenue streams in this day and age.
dan friesen
You've got to diversify.
jordan holmes
Oh, of course.
And if you're the pizza joint that Hillary Clinton picked, man, you must be a great pizza joint, right?
Clinton only rapes in the finest dungeons.
God damn it.
dan friesen
If you go back and look at some of the stuff and some of the statements that were made by employees of Comet Ping Pong and James Elephantus back when this was first starting up, there's a bunch of threats that they got to their business.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Their employees were threatened.
They had their lives threatened.
They had a situation where, you know, it became hostile to ever come to work.
jordan holmes
Right.
Of course.
dan friesen
That's actionable.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I agree.
Now we're actually just discussing a full-on legal briefing.
dan friesen
This has become an episode of Handle on the Law.
jordan holmes
Boston Legal.
But wouldn't it be the originator of the claim?
Alex Jones has never originated an idea.
Other than the ones that he's just making up.
So maybe he did make this one.
I don't know.
dan friesen
I'm not sure how that would work, but I know that he is incredibly guilty of perpetuating it.
jordan holmes
Oh yeah, he gave it the biggest platform you could.
dan friesen
He had, like there was this guy named Jack Posobiec, who's a complete monster.
jordan holmes
Made up name from Star Wars.
dan friesen
He spent like an entire evening videotaping himself going to Comet Ping Pong and Comet, or what's the other one, Besta Pizza.
They're two pizza places on the same block.
jordan holmes
With competing rape dungeons?
dan friesen
Yep, absolutely.
Well, they're all in the mix.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
They're all in it together.
So he went and...
jordan holmes
Weird business model.
Weird business model.
dan friesen
He videotaped himself going into Best of Pizza and nothing happened.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Nothing happened.
There was nothing weird.
And then as soon as he left, he's like, oh, it's so fucking weird in there.
Oh my god.
jordan holmes
You can just feel it.
Like a Ghost Hunters show.
Like, oh, I can feel it.
It just got colder.
dan friesen
RKMF readers were off the charts.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
So then he goes to Comet Ping Pong and he tries to order some food.
Everyone's treating him real nice.
He goes in.
He's trying to live stream it.
And one of the waiters realizes what's going on, that this guy is videotaping himself eating at their place.
That's not a coincidence.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Especially while all this Pizzagate stuff is going on.
So the waiter comes over and explains, my employees have been threatened.
Do you understand that you're helping perpetuate something that is really damaging to people?
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Just people who are trying to live their lives and...
jordan holmes
Not just my business, but the...
Lives of people.
dan friesen
Yeah, absolutely.
jordan holmes
Once a guy starts bringing guns places, that's a physical threat.
Well, that's a different guy.
dan friesen
This is before that.
jordan holmes
Oh.
Well, I mean, it's the same.
dan friesen
But this is why I think it helps build the case that Alex is going to get sued.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
So Jack Posobiec goes in.
This guy explains to him that people have been threatened and it's no joke.
It's not a laughing matter.
And he's like, I'm just trying to, you know, I always tape everything I do.
I'm trying to eat at dinner.
And he's like, come on.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's not what's going on.
The guy, there's an off-duty cop there, and they just escort him out.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And he's like, everything was fucking weird in there.
jordan holmes
I'm surprised he didn't claim to be a cop himself, right?
That's your move.
dan friesen
Posobiec?
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's your move.
You go in there, and you're like, uh, actually.
dan friesen
Deep undercover.
jordan holmes
Actually, I am a cop.
dan friesen
I'm Serpico.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I'm trying to figure this shit out, man.
dan friesen
Well, he didn't pull that.
He left, and then he was like, everything was demonic in there.
You could just get a feeling.
There's a back room.
There were kids running in and out of it.
What's going on here?
Didn't show any of that in his video.
Probably just making shit up.
jordan holmes
Kids running in and out of it.
dan friesen
I watched the entire, like, two hour long live stream that he posted.
jordan holmes
Because you're an insane person.
dan friesen
Because I'm nuts.
jordan holmes
You're a lunatic.
dan friesen
There's nothing in it.
And then, like, the next day, he's on Infowars.
jordan holmes
Great.
dan friesen
Being interviewed about what he experienced.
And what he found at the pizza place.
He's lying his tits off.
He says a bunch of stuff that didn't happen in the videos, but they know no one's going to go watch the whole videos.
jordan holmes
It's two hours long.
dan friesen
Yeah, absolutely.
jordan holmes
You're the only person who watched the whole video.
dan friesen
Probably.
So they interview him on that.
Alex does say that someone should go check it out.
Someone should go investigate it.
Flash forward a very short time.
Guy shows up with a gun.
Drove from out of state to go investigate this pizza place.
Shoots a bullet in the place.
unidentified
Whoa!
jordan holmes
He did?
dan friesen
Yeah, he fired.
jordan holmes
I didn't know that.
I didn't know he fired.
dan friesen
He fired the gun.
I don't think he shot it at anybody, but I think he shot it at the ground.
jordan holmes
Wow.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
So Yosemite Sam came from Oklahoma to bother a pizza joint.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
I mean, Alex isn't wholly responsible for all this turn of events, but he had his hand in playing a part of it.
He should be sued.
Dave Seaman should be sued.
A bunch of other of these ding-dong assholes.
They really should be sued.
They've caused a lot of damage to people's lives.
jordan holmes
Well, I mean, you've got loss of revenue, you've got, you know, threats on people's lives.
dan friesen
I believe in free speech wholeheartedly, but I don't believe in libel, and I don't believe in threats.
jordan holmes
You don't believe either of those things are real?
dan friesen
No, I believe they're real, but I don't think they're protected.
I don't believe that you can get away with those things.
jordan holmes
Well, yeah, neither does the law.
That's why those words exist.
dan friesen
So I believe that this, what I've just laid out for you, is the reason that Alex is probably going to get sued.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
I also believe that the reason that he's being investigated, as he puts it in that last clip, is not because people think he's a Russian spy.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
It's because there are Russian bots that are specifically promoting his content.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
And the question that the FBI is apparently asking, according to the articles that I've read, is, is there coordination?
Is there a collaborative thing going on where these Russian bots promote Infowars content?
And then secondarily, is there any influence from Russian sources?
Into Alex's reporting.
jordan holmes
And you would say, like, I would say normally there's no way there's collusion or collaboration just because you wouldn't even need to talk to Alex.
If you gave him more attention, he'd just be like, hooray!
And never ask questions.
But he did go on RT.
dan friesen
He did.
jordan holmes
He did go on RT.
dan friesen
And he went on Alexander Dugan's show.
And Alexander Dugan's been on his show.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Like, there isn't nothing there.
jordan holmes
See, and I would say it's probably more Alex just having both naked self-interest and just needing his father's love.
That's really what that all is.
dan friesen
Too busy with the teeth, that dentist.
jordan holmes
He just needs his father's love.
He's got great teeth, but he doesn't have his dad's love.
dan friesen
I don't think that Alex himself is being investigated for anything he's done.
I believe that he is a piece of the investigation.
Because his propaganda is being pushed by Russian bots.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And I believe, from everything I've read, that that is what the articles are about and what the FBI investigation is about.
Alex has turned this into, I am being called a Russian agent and they're trying to attack me.
jordan holmes
Well, and that's a great narrative for him to push because that's turned into also the argument from even people on the left where it's like, well, I don't support them shutting down any kind of news or anything like that.
And you're like, well, one, not the story.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
Two, he's propaganda.
Yeah.
dan friesen
And I don't think he should be shut down.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
I just think we should roundly mock him until he quits.
jordan holmes
And sue him for libel until he's broke.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
If he does do those things, he should be sued for them.
unidentified
But anyway.
dan friesen
These are the reasons that I think people are attacking Alex.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
Alex has other ideas about why people are attacking him.
jordan holmes
So many possibilities.
alex jones
Why do they want to shut InfoWars down?
We told you 18 years ago they've got cameras and microphones hidden in major devices and are watching and listening to you for controlling thought content and knowing what you're doing and selling data to advertising agencies to then control...
The hopes and dreams of society.
jordan holmes
Which is now even more legal.
alex jones
We told you that they were spying on the president and they tried to lie about it and now it's been exposed.
We told you they're preparing a civil emergency and martial law and a civil war.
Now they're all over the news, openly calling for the cities to begin to burn and for the president to be murdered or the president to be, you know, dragged out in chains.
That's not political speech.
That's calls for military.
Insurrection and warfare against the republic.
And they've got the former deputy head of the defense department running around in policy papers like foreign affairs and foreign policy and all these other globalist publications and going to the Pentagon and saying, you can pull it up, former deputy head of the defense department calling for military coup against Trump.
That person should be arrested and then indicted the next day.
For organized insurrection in the country, outside of law, to foment a military mutiny and rebellion against the taxpayers, citizens of this country.
jordan holmes
But wait.
unidentified
Uh-huh.
But didn't he say earlier that that was okay?
dan friesen
Didn't he?
jordan holmes
As long as they were...
As long as they were...
dan friesen
For Trump?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Didn't he just condemn the very thing that he said was perfectly fine?
dan friesen
The last months of his show have been about how the rogue forces within the CIA have performed a counter-coup.
Against liberals.
jordan holmes
Right, but I thought we already had the counter-counter coup, so this is the third coup.
dan friesen
We're in the middle of the counter-counter coup.
jordan holmes
We're in the middle of the counter-counter coup.
Man, I cannot keep track of all these coups.
dan friesen
We might find out later that there's a fourth coup.
jordan holmes
We need a coup tracker.
dan friesen
Yeah, we do.
Let's get an app.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Can you code?
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
Well, we're fucked.
jordan holmes
All I can do, we'll just send out a mass text every time there's a counter-coup.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So, also, I...
Because Alex keeps talking about globalist publications, I've subscribed to foreign policy.
unidentified
And I've started reading it.
jordan holmes
You're losing your mind.
I'm a wonk!
You're a wonk now.
dan friesen
I started reading foreign policy all the time.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
And I check in on it every day.
This narrative he's spinning is not in there.
But what I did read is a very fascinating article about Sebastian Gorka.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah!
He's a bad dude!
He's a Nazi!
dan friesen
Theoretically a sworn Nazi!
jordan holmes
He's a Nazi!
dan friesen
But this article was, we don't want to take a stance on whether or not he is a Nazi, but what I can do is review his dissertation.
jordan holmes
Oh!
So the one where he...
Probably espouses Nazi ideas?
dan friesen
No, it's about terrorism, counter-terrorism stuff.
And the guy who is a doctoral advisor, so he's used to reviewing people's dissertations, was just going on and on, just fucking taking the piss out of him for how unscholarly it was.
He only cites like four sources.
Clearly didn't read many books.
jordan holmes
Wonderful.
dan friesen
Then it goes on to explain that like...
He is one of Trump's counterterrorism advisors.
He's pretty high up there.
And he has no experience and almost no published work outside of his dissertation about counterterrorism.
It's like, that's bad.
jordan holmes
That's bad, right?
dan friesen
That's the kind of stuff that's in foreign policy.
Very interesting.
jordan holmes
Don't you want, like...
Now, I'm...
Look.
dan friesen
I'm listening.
jordan holmes
I could be crazy.
Wouldn't you want, like, an expert?
dan friesen
I think for an advisor position you'd want an expert.
jordan holmes
Especially for like a counter-terrorism thing.
dan friesen
When that seems to be a pretty hot topic.
jordan holmes
Yeah, why would you hire just a random dude?
dan friesen
Weirdo Nazi Gorka?
jordan holmes
What's your counter-terrorism idea?
Kill the Jews!
Ah, you're a Nazi.
There it is, you're a Nazi.
I knew it.
unidentified
Damn, my anti-Semitic Tourette's got the best of me.
jordan holmes
I'm always trying not to Nazi.
dan friesen
So this next clip is what I would describe as a tease for our next episode.
jordan holmes
A tease for a tease.
dan friesen
If you guys want to get excited about what our next episode is going to be about, it's a lot of this.
alex jones
The good news is Nunes comes out and just says, look, I mean, I've had a lot of people come to me in the intelligence agencies and then Trump was being spied on.
jordan holmes
Not true.
dan friesen
This is a huge narrative that Alex spun for the entirety of the last week.
jordan holmes
Really?
But none of it's true.
dan friesen
I can prove it.
And I'm going to on our next episode.
jordan holmes
You can prove that he spun the narrative the whole week?
dan friesen
No, I can prove that it's all lies.
jordan holmes
Oh, well it is all lies.
dan friesen
And I found out where it came from.
jordan holmes
Oh shit!
dan friesen
Yep.
This is big.
Big stuff.
So anyway, get excited for our next episode.
But also, enjoy the rest of this one, you ding-dongs.
jordan holmes
Why did you just get passive-aggressive?
dan friesen
I don't know.
Because we've been sick.
We haven't done this in a week.
jordan holmes
That's true.
dan friesen
We're a half hour in.
We're figuring our legs back again.
Let's take a sip of this wine.
Let's cheers.
jordan holmes
You're just being mean about it.
dan friesen
I'm not being mean.
You know what it is?
I'm getting insecure that people are going to turn this off because next episode is going to be so great.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that sounds about right.
dan friesen
Also, because the beginning of this episode is so fucking disjointed.
Like, the stuff he's talking about doesn't track from A to B. There's just so much, like, all-over-the-place stuff.
jordan holmes
Yeah, he doesn't have the kind of more, or maybe he's just not capable of doing the longer narrative right now.
unidentified
Well, we'll hit it.
jordan holmes
Because he's being attacked on so many different...
Angles, right?
unidentified
It's true.
dan friesen
We'll hit a coherent narrative probably around an hour and a half into this podcast.
jordan holmes
Excellent.
I'm glad to hear it.
dan friesen
But until then, I want Alex...
jordan holmes
Which is now a tease.
Now people are going to just press pause and then fast forward to the hour and a half mark.
dan friesen
Have you ever watched any of Alex Jones' documentaries, sir?
jordan holmes
I have not.
dan friesen
I have watched a lot of them.
jordan holmes
How are you still alive?
unidentified
I...
dan friesen
Look, I...
I used to be a...
jordan holmes
Oh, now I see it.
There are four locks on the door and you haven't gone outside in Monsters in days.
dan friesen
I was outside yesterday.
I went to work.
jordan holmes
Your beard has a bone in it.
dan friesen
That's true.
That was just his Bam Bam stuff.
unidentified
You know what I'm saying?
Okay.
jordan holmes
It's the new fashion style.
dan friesen
Or is it Pebbles?
I can't remember.
Anyway, I've watched The Obama Deception.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
I've watched a number of other ones.
jordan holmes
That's my favorite Bourne movie.
dan friesen
That's great.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I should have brought back Matt Damon in blackface.
jordan holmes
Hey, what are you going to do?
dan friesen
Idris Elba was bad casting.
That's my racist James Bond fan character.
jordan holmes
There it is.
dan friesen
So he had a documentary, in quotes, called End Game.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Road to Tyranny.
jordan holmes
Ooh.
dan friesen
Now.
jordan holmes
Is that a chess documentary?
dan friesen
Yeah, I wish it was.
And he'd get Kasparov in there to make fun of him.
jordan holmes
Boris Fosky is in there?
Yeah.
dan friesen
So Alex has some...
He says something in this next clip that is undefensible.
Enjoy.
alex jones
So again, we've told you right down the line, because we actually studied this, and I don't say this to brag.
I say it because I've read the end of the book.
jordan holmes
No, you haven't.
alex jones
I know where they want to take us.
I know what their endgame is.
They even have a project called Endgame that's a martial law takeover plan that they declassified two years after it was created.
Three years after my film Endgame came out.
jordan holmes
Wait.
alex jones
Strangely enough.
dan friesen
Strangely enough, he made a documentary about this program a year before it was created.
jordan holmes
Wait, what?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
What did he just say?
He's an idiot.
It was declassified two years.
dan friesen
After they created the program.
jordan holmes
After they created the program.
And then three years after his documentary.
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
So, what...
dan friesen
Using math.
jordan holmes
What Alex Jones is saying...
Is that maybe the entire program was his fault in the first place.
dan friesen
Alex Jones says sooth.
jordan holmes
Yeah, he just gave them an idea.
He did the whole endgame like, this is what they're doing, and they're like, maybe we should do that.
That sounds pretty good.
Yeah, that doesn't sound like a bad idea.
dan friesen
Also, buried within that complete impossibility that he...
jordan holmes
Time machine.
dan friesen
All right.
jordan holmes
Twelve dimensional beings!
dan friesen
Him and Andrew Basiago.
jordan holmes
There is no impossibilities in our world.
dan friesen
Fine.
So, unlikely.
jordan holmes
Eddie Bravo is coming back.
dan friesen
Unlikely that he created this documentary a year before that program.
jordan holmes
I'll give you that.
dan friesen
Also unlikely.
The government creates...
unidentified
An endgame for global enslavement program.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Then declassifies it two years later.
jordan holmes
Why wouldn't you declassify it?
There's no damaging information there.
You want that out in the public sphere.
dan friesen
It's like, all right.
jordan holmes
You want them to know the bullet they dodged.
Oh, man.
We could have totally endgamed you, but we didn't, bro.
We started.
We'll even give it to you.
We put it in foreign policy.
Who cares?
Nobody reads that shit.
dan friesen
Except stupid-ass Dan.
jordan holmes
Except Dan.
dan friesen
He's mostly distracted by articles about Gorka.
jordan holmes
They're going to start just talking directly to you in foreign policy articles, right?
They're going to be like, Dan, I'm telling you, you're going to love researching this.
dan friesen
Real talk?
I think that's what Alex thinks is going on.
So, I mean, I hope it doesn't happen to me, because otherwise I've got to move to Texas.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's true.
dan friesen
I don't want to do that.
So yeah, I think that the idea that the government would be like, alright, we're going to shut everything down, we're going to enslave everybody.
Alright, two years is enough of a head start.
We got everything pretty much in place.
Let's just fucking declassify this.
Nothing they can do about it now.
jordan holmes
What was the meeting like?
Alright, so here's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna declare martial law.
And then we're going to take over all the cities, burn them down.
Because that's not where the patriots live.
unidentified
No.
jordan holmes
They're in their liberal bubbles.
We've got to kill them.
dan friesen
Patriots are out in the sticks.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
We all know patriots only live one to an entire estate.
dan friesen
They live in BFE, as they say.
jordan holmes
Okay.
This is a great plan.
And then two years later, they're like, you know what?
I don't think this was a great plan, guys.
dan friesen
Guys, I think we fucked the dog on this one.
jordan holmes
But...
How about we just tell everyone ever that this was our bad plan?
dan friesen
Yeah, oh, that's a great idea.
jordan holmes
That's a great idea, right?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
We want to be honest and transparent like we all know the intelligence community always is.
dan friesen
That narrative you just spun right there is more entertaining than endgame path for global deception, enslavement, whatever.
Alex's stupid documentary.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Oh, man.
jordan holmes
How long is the documentary?
dan friesen
Oh, fucking long.
You know what?
jordan holmes
Are we talking...
How many Titanics long is it?
dan friesen
I say...
jordan holmes
Is it two Titanics long?
dan friesen
Six.
jordan holmes
Six Titanics long?
dan friesen
No, that's an exaggeration.
jordan holmes
That's a long Titanic.
dan friesen
I think that if people donate to the show, one of the things we should do is to...
jordan holmes
You are turning into Alex so hard.
Listen, if you subscribe now...
To our man pills.
dan friesen
No, no, no, no pills.
jordan holmes
No pills.
dan friesen
But if people were to subscribe and donate, we would do a wasted commentary of Alex Jones' films.
jordan holmes
Oh, shit.
A full-on MST3K on Alex Jones?
That'd be good.
dan friesen
I think that might be fun.
Here's an idea.
Anyway, look.
It's time for a newsflash.
I don't know if you're ready for it.
jordan holmes
Newsflash!
alex jones
Ladies and gentlemen, let me give you a little newsflash.
I don't like how deep I am into this at a certain level, okay?
But let me just tell you something.
I've seen stuff hardly anybody else has seen.
dan friesen
I've seen stuff barely anybody's ever seen.
jordan holmes
I don't even like having the responsibility of being the only truth teller in the world.
It's a calling.
I don't like it.
This isn't to brag.
dan friesen
No, no brag.
I'd like to fully say that I believe that he's seen stuff that almost nobody's seen.
jordan holmes
I think it's been entirely in his head, though.
dan friesen
But no, I think he's seen very specific forgeries.
I think he's seen frauds that have specifically targeted him because they know he just believes anything.
jordan holmes
And not just that.
He has seen the future.
As we can tell right now.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
He has worked it out.
He's just reverse engineered it.
That's what he did with the endgame thing, man.
He reverse engineered it.
He knew inevitably the government would both create this program.
dan friesen
That has the same name as his documentary.
jordan holmes
Then declassify it.
Yeah.
Well, where else?
That's why he named it what it is.
dan friesen
What an asshole.
I mean, you now.
jordan holmes
Oh, fair enough.
dan friesen
I'm just kidding.
jordan holmes
Fair enough.
dan friesen
He's not done.
alex jones
I'm not just here on air talking about this stuff.
Where are you?
They've got displays and systems that are AI run where the computer itself, you just target the person, there's a whole map of everything they do, every device they've got, and that machine tries to hammer in and break into everything you've got.
It's normally already broken in, and then they've got microscopic capacitors in the chips for at least six years that are microscopic microphones, and that's been in the news.
jordan holmes
What?
alex jones
That data transferred over cable, And over wireless and over power lines is just scooping it all up.
jordan holmes
He does not know what any of this stuff means.
alex jones
And that's stuff I knew about 15 years ago.
dan friesen
He's known for 15 years stuff that they would start doing 9 years later.
unidentified
That they can't do now!
jordan holmes
He's known for 15 years the stuff that they're not doing.
dan friesen
No, no, but this goes back to that, like, it's not stupid to think that someone's microwave is listening to them because there's chips inside them with little micro microphones.
jordan holmes
Why?
Why?
Why would you do that?
We've got microphones everywhere.
dan friesen
Also, hey, bro.
unidentified
Hey, bro.
dan friesen
Hey, bro.
That would be cost prohibitive.
jordan holmes
That would be cost prohibitive.
The idea of putting...
dan friesen
Tiny microphones.
jordan holmes
Is it bacteria?
How are they spreading?
Do they have guys just running in with fucking power washers of microphones on everything?
dan friesen
No, it goes in the factories, they put these chips in, and then whenever they want to, the government can remotely turn them on and start listening in to you through your toaster and shit.
jordan holmes
But they can remotely turn on your phone and start listening to you through that.
dan friesen
Right, but this was...
Six years ago, before cell phones, my argument has fallen apart.
jordan holmes
That does not make any sense.
Why would you build a microscopic microphone?
That makes no sense.
Also, how would you build a microscopic microphone, also that has a transmitter that can send things to you, and a power source?
dan friesen
Also problematic in the idea that, like, let's say it's in your microwave.
jordan holmes
Let's start from the microphone being in your microwave.
dan friesen
When you turn on your microwave, it makes a lot of noise.
jordan holmes
Don't do that!
dan friesen
It makes a lot of noise.
jordan holmes
Don't even bother.
Nobody turns their microwave on.
dan friesen
You can't spy on me when I'm cooking.
How about that, government?
What now?
But then...
jordan holmes
Classic, classic knowledge fight.
You can't spy on me when I'm cooking.
dan friesen
You're only going to get to hear what I say in the kitchen.
jordan holmes
No, they got microscopic microphones in your TV.
In your microwave?
In your toaster?
In your blender?
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
In your old-timey type blender with the crank?
dan friesen
I think that this is just...
jordan holmes
Your bottle opener?
dan friesen
This is just Alex trying to force us back to the farmhouse that he wishes we all lived in.
No electronics!
unidentified
Ooh.
dan friesen
That might be...
jordan holmes
That's the only way for us to survive.
dan friesen
It's the only way we'll be safe.
jordan holmes
Hey, you wouldn't even know that the Endgame is coming because you couldn't see his documentary, though.
unidentified
True.
jordan holmes
There's the problem.
dan friesen
Yeah.
It's a double-edged sword.
You're gonna get killed either way.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
Anyway, you know, you and I are millennials.
You know that, right?
jordan holmes
I've heard.
dan friesen
Yeah, we're millennials.
Turns out the globalists have a plan for us.
jordan holmes
You know what?
A lot of people in other generations...
Don't like us.
dan friesen
No, it's very true.
jordan holmes
It's strange.
dan friesen
Alex is one of them.
jordan holmes
I'm sure that it's never happened to any other generation in the history that other generations haven't liked them.
dan friesen
Certainly not.
jordan holmes
I guarantee that you have never heard the same things people said about us applied to any other generation before.
dan friesen
I will say this.
I don't think that other generations have had this specific charge levied at them.
jordan holmes
Let's see what it is.
alex jones
Their language is small.
jordan holmes
All right.
alex jones
They're restricted.
jordan holmes
Bro.
alex jones
They're like, you know, kids trying to act cool in junior high and, you know, getting little clicks.
I mean, just imagine that times ten, and that's the elitist system they're building and the type of minions they want to be one of the last generations and wipe almost everybody out.
They're just getting the containment grids up, getting us in cities, getting the police forces in place, getting the robots in place, and getting us totally domesticated before they hammer down and then boom!
The agreements have been made.
They're going to wipe out 90% of the Chinese, 90% of the folks in Africa, Latin America, and the West is going to have big death, too.
But these are race-specific.
And China's agreed to all of this, by the way.
jordan holmes
Why?
alex jones
And then they're going to start releasing the bioweapons.
jordan holmes
After they killed 90% of the people, then they're going to release bioweapons?
alex jones
They kill the Ice Age mutants.
That's white people.
People say, oh, yeah, you're a mutant.
That's what the black nationalists say.
Yeah, so are you.
Everybody mutates.
Everybody's different.
So you have all the different groups and variations and the rest of it.
But that's what's going on.
dan friesen
Through that mutation point he made there at the end, he's kind of supporting the theory of evolution.
jordan holmes
Or eugenics.
Or just, he's making an argument against an argument that no one has made.
unidentified
Which is?
jordan holmes
I like how he's already got, like, oh, white people are Ice Age mutants.
We all know this.
And he's like, uh-uh.
You're a mutant.
Like, what is he talking about?
dan friesen
Let's be fair.
There is a group called the 5% Nation, the Nation of Gods and Earths, which is a shoot-off of Afrocentric Islam.
They were a branch out of Malcolm X's church because they didn't think he was extreme enough.
There's a guy named Clarence 13X.
jordan holmes
I like him a lot.
dan friesen
Also known as Pudding because his words were so smooth.
jordan holmes
Okay.
Now...
dan friesen
Seriously.
jordan holmes
I am a huge fan of his.
dan friesen
The Wu-Tang Clan...
jordan holmes
You have gotten me on board.
dan friesen
The Wu-Tang Clan are adherents of the nation of gods and earths, 5% nation.
All of them?
Yeah, you can hear it in a lot of their raps.
They talk about, like, I fear for the 85 that don't have a clue.
There's just references to that religious group throughout all of their history.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
The 85 is...
The 5% nation is based on the idea that there's 5% of the population that knows the truth and actively tries to wake up the population.
That is 85% of the population that is deaf, dumb, and blind and doesn't know the truth.
Then there's 10% of the population that knows the truth and actively seeks to try and keep the 85 down.
jordan holmes
That's bad numbers.
dan friesen
It's bad numbers.
jordan holmes
We're outnumbered two to one.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Are we one of them, or no?
dan friesen
No, we're bad.
jordan holmes
We're bad?
dan friesen
We're probably bad.
jordan holmes
Okay.
Wait, we're part of the bad 10%?
Or the 85%?
dan friesen
It depends.
It depends.
jordan holmes
I feel like that's not a good answer.
dan friesen
We could be either, depending on what we're doing.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
In the original conception of the 5% Nation, their belief, the truth that the 85% is deaf, dumb, and blind to is that the black man is God.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
And that Allah means arm, leg, leg, arm, head, the composition of the black man.
jordan holmes
Wait.
dan friesen
Which is also the composition of a white man, but be that as a man.
jordan holmes
Wait, wait.
Arm, leg, leg, arm, head.
dan friesen
Yeah, Allah.
That's what Allah means.
It's a representation for your body.
jordan holmes
But why would they use that word?
dan friesen
What do you mean?
jordan holmes
Well, isn't that a...
dan friesen
Well, it's a repurposing of Islamic beliefs.
jordan holmes
Well, yeah, but aren't those really old?
dan friesen
Yeah, they are.
They are.
jordan holmes
So they just figured this out?
dan friesen
No, listen.
I don't know.
jordan holmes
I'm sorry.
I have a lot of questions.
dan friesen
I've done a lot of research into the 5% Nation because I think they're fascinating.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And actually...
jordan holmes
Well, I'm fascinated.
dan friesen
As time has gone on, there's a lot more liberalism to it, and it's not so racist.
But in its original conception, it was racist.
And one of their beliefs that they held was that white people were created in a lab by an evil scientist named Yacoub.
jordan holmes
Oh, that one I know.
That one I know.
Because that one, while not being plausible, does kind of explain why any time you read a history book and you get to the statement, And then the white man came, you're like, oh no.
This is bad foreshadowing.
dan friesen
But that kind of is the black nationalist bent that Alex is talking about when he talks about white people being Ice Age mutants.
And stuff like that.
jordan holmes
Wait, Yacoub made us in the Ice Age?
dan friesen
Yeah, way back.
jordan holmes
Well, I'm on board.
This sounds as reasonable as anything else we've heard so far today.
dan friesen
That's one of the examples of the type of stuff that Alex is arguing against.
So I'm just saying...
That it's not a non-argument that he's arguing against.
It's just a very unprecedented one.
jordan holmes
It's a magnificent argument he's arguing against.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So anyway, a lot of people are going to die, and then we're going to release bioweapons.
unidentified
Gotcha.
Sweet.
jordan holmes
Done.
I'm in.
dan friesen
So we're going to get to this interview.
jordan holmes
We kill 90%, then we release the bioweapons.
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
Why would you do that after the 90%?
dan friesen
Maybe the bioweapons wouldn't be effective enough.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't believe him.
Stop looking at me.
Stop staring at me like that.
jordan holmes
I'm sorry.
I just want any kind of thing to hang on to there.
dan friesen
There was such a look from you that scared the shit out of me.
jordan holmes
I want any kind of handhold because that makes not just no sense.
The Chinese have agreed to it.
Opposite sense.
And who...
Which?
All the Chinese agreed to it?
dan friesen
All of them.
jordan holmes
All of them.
Okay.
dan friesen
The Chi-Coms are on board.
jordan holmes
We got that signed.
We got that in documentation because we're going to need it in the eventual court case of the history of humanity.
dan friesen
Sure.
So we're going to get to this interview.
But first, before we do, Alex wants to do a deep dive into analysis about the attack on London's parliament that happened.
The middle of last week?
jordan holmes
I bet it totally has nothing with his hatred of Islam.
dan friesen
We're going to find out.
alex jones
So see, this is what I'm getting at for you.
They think you're so dumb that they have a jihadi run over a bunch of people and stab a bunch of people and our news will barely even say it's Islamic.
And in England, they're going around saying it's hate, don't do it.
And I was watching footage this morning online of just thousands of Muslim men.
Yesterday and today, out celebrating and with so much hate in their eyes and their mouths open and their teeth showing like a murderous horde of zombies.
And I'm supposed to go, oh, I love you.
Come on in.
Oh, I don't want to be mean.
Sure, kill me.
dan friesen
I'm guessing that what he saw was a bunch of, like, B-roll.
unidentified
Did he?
jordan holmes
Can we find any footage?
dan friesen
I can't.
No.
But also, it's fascinating.
jordan holmes
Mouths open.
Teeth showing.
dan friesen
He has like a primate thing going on there.
They showed their teeth.
That's a sign of aggression.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
That makes sense in his worldview.
dan friesen
It's insane.
But this is fascinating to me.
jordan holmes
Because as we all know, pussies never show their teeth.
dan friesen
Nah, except for that movie.
Except for that one movie where the pussy had...
jordan holmes
Vagina dentata?
dan friesen
Yeah, that's it.
So I think it's interesting that Alex is so bent out of shape about this compared to...
How people in London are dealing with it, which was, this sucks, it's tragedy, but let's go about our lives.
It sucks that this guy died, or a couple people died, but we move on.
jordan holmes
The classic Whoville solution.
Something bad happens, you know what?
Let's all come together.
Let's not let this tear us apart.
dan friesen
No, whereas Alex is super into, let's call them jihadis and really demonize Islam.
By saying that all of these other Muslims were celebrating it, kind of making it seem like it's a big, all of them are happy about it.
They're lying to you when they say that they're not terrorists.
jordan holmes
Well, as we all know, if you see a thousand people doing something, that's representative of two billion people doing everything.
We all know that.
dan friesen
And at press time, Alex has still not apologized or recognized.
That guy who shot up a mosque in Quebec was a white dude.
He reported it that it was a Muslim and will not correct himself.
jordan holmes
How?
Okay.
So this gets back to our General Flynn situation where now there's blood and water.
unidentified
Hold on.
dan friesen
Is it a General Flynn situation or is it a General Flynn situation?
We have a generalized Flynn situation.
jordan holmes
It's actually a General Finn situation.
It's all about the Finnish people and what they've done.
Okay.
No, the blood and the water thing, right?
So once we got one Trump person down, now we're going after more and more and more, right?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Once we get one Alex Jones apology...
dan friesen
Pizzagate.
jordan holmes
Oh, it's all coming down.
He's going to have to apologize for tons of shit.
dan friesen
I'm hoping.
jordan holmes
That would be amazing.
Every episode, a new apology.
unidentified
Oh, man.
dan friesen
I don't think we have...
jordan holmes
What a brave new world we live in.
dan friesen
I think if he apologized for everything he should apologize for, we would be long dead before we covered it all.
jordan holmes
It would be a lot of episodes.
dan friesen
He's been on air for 23 years.
He's got a lot.
He's got to go, hey, you know what?
We fucked up on that one.
Anyway, here's some more stuff.
jordan holmes
This is Knowledge Fight.
We're doing April 24th episode.
It is just a long series of apologies.
dan friesen
I would love that.
That's my birthday.
That would be a great present if Alex Jones just apologized for an entire show.
jordan holmes
That would be fun.
dan friesen
So he has more thoughts about this London attack, and he cites what I can only describe as a super scientific approach to statistics, figuring out what's going on.
jordan holmes
I don't trust you.
alex jones
On Al Jazeera's official feed.
On Facebook, thousands of emojis celebrating it, screenshot in live time.
For every frowny face, there are like ten smiley faces, and it went on for hours.
And for every thumbs down, there's not even one thumbs down on that page.
unidentified
Look at that.
alex jones
Not one thumbs down.
Thumbs up, baby.
dan friesen
Thumbs up, baby!
unidentified
For every frowny face, there is ten smiley faces!
dan friesen
So you know how when you're broadcasting live on Facebook, it shows the responses cascading across the screen?
He has a screenshot of a lot of happy faces covering the London attack.
One of the things that Alex doesn't take into account is that things like 4chan exist.
jordan holmes
Can we play that one more time?
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
I want to hear that.
dan friesen
We're going to have to wait for the episode.
jordan holmes
So many times.
dan friesen
You're going to have to wait to listen back.
jordan holmes
But for every frowny face...
dan friesen
There's ten smiles.
jordan holmes
There's ten smiley faces.
If Morgan Freeman did that, it'd be amazing.
dan friesen
He does not recognize that there are internet brigades that troll things.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
And I would not be super surprised, I have no evidence of this, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were a bunch of people...
Who put on a message board, let's all go brigade this Al Jazeera report and make it look like everyone's happy about this.
jordan holmes
You can't make brigade a verb.
I refuse.
I refuse!
dan friesen
Alright, the motion passes.
But anyway, they brigaded.
You son of a bitch!
I don't know.
I can't prove that that's true and I'm not going to pore over message board histories to find any evidence of that.
jordan holmes
Well, what you're doing is predicting the eventual book Charge of the Internet Brigade.
Fantastic book.
dan friesen
Brigading the Internet.
That's right out for you.
But, I mean, basically what you have there is a plausible explanation for why that might be the case outside of Alex's argument, which is all Muslims are super thrilled about this attack.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I don't think that's true.
dan friesen
And I don't think you can prove that those smiley faces were coming from Muslim people, you dumb fuck.
jordan holmes
Not yet.
dan friesen
I was talking to Alex.
jordan holmes
Is there any...
Is there any...
Could you imagine any way to prove that?
Like, any possible...
dan friesen
Not within Alex Jones' sort of investigative journalism techniques, no.
jordan holmes
Yeah, other than tracking every single one of those likes down and putting together a full personal history of each of those people.
dan friesen
You would almost need an NSA-style database in order to do that.
jordan holmes
Yeah, you would have to gather a lot of metadata to figure that shit out.
dan friesen
You definitely would.
jordan holmes
Ah, I know he's Muslim because I know he goes to temple five times a day to pray.
dan friesen
And I know that because I've been following all of his, who cares?
Listen, it's time to get to this interview.
jordan holmes
It's time to get serious.
dan friesen
Where everything takes a turn.
This is an interview with one Dr. Steve Pachenik.
jordan holmes
Dr. Pachenik.
dan friesen
Who, as we have documented in the past, does not really believe in Sandy Hook.
jordan holmes
Nope.
dan friesen
Which is a big strike against him.
jordan holmes
He's a bad person.
dan friesen
He is the guy who's responsible for the counter-coup narrative that Alex has been pitching for about the last year.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
I got a lot of red flags on Steve Pachanek.
A lot of them.
jordan holmes
More than those two?
dan friesen
Yeah.
But I want to say...
jordan holmes
Do you need more than those two?
dan friesen
No.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
Today, I'm into him.
jordan holmes
Alright.
dan friesen
His interview today, he's trying to make two points.
And Alex won't let him.
jordan holmes
And it's an hour-long interview.
dan friesen
Basically.
Gotcha.
jordan holmes
That's classic Alex.
dan friesen
Just to indicate where Alex's head was at when the interview was about to start, I'm going to play his introduction, where he gives Steve Pachanek's credits, and then tries to introduce the topics he'd like to talk about.
And we'll see how that goes.
Okay.
alex jones
All right.
He co-wrote books of Tom Clancy, an Hollywood producer, also one of the founders of Delta Force, involved the State Department and other agencies, encountered terrorism and regime change.
Everybody knows who he is.
Dr. Steve Pachenik.
StevePachenik.com joins us until the bottom of the hour.
Then I promise I'm getting to all these clips on this confirmation hearings going on when I got to say this judge that has been nominated by Trump is just destroying him.
We've got Nunes admitting to the Intelligence Committee.
Of course they're spying on them.
We have all these sources that are doing it.
I can't believe they're playing dumb with all this.
They were all over the news saying they were, and so much more.
And then the latest Islamic attack, which they're saying isn't an Islamic attack.
So we'll see where all that's going.
We have Michael Moore, again, calling for martial law in a national emergency.
jordan holmes
I remember that.
alex jones
The former deputy head of the Defense Department, this is in the Washington Post, going around again trying to organize a coup against Trump.
Here's the deal.
I'm Mr. Anti-Police State.
jordan holmes
He is.
alex jones
The police state means if I'm not...
dan friesen
He's Mr. Anti-Police State.
jordan holmes
He's Mr. Anti-Police State.
dan friesen
Meanwhile, Owen Troyer is Mr. Steal Your Girl.
And I'm Mr. Boom Bostic.
jordan holmes
They call me a space cowboy.
dan friesen
Do some people call you Maurice?
jordan holmes
Some people call me doing something wrong.
alex jones
I'm getting messed with.
I'm getting surveilled.
I'm getting bothered.
I'm out here producing stuff, being a good American.
When you run around saying, kill the president, let's burn everything down.
Let's shut Alex Jones up.
So at this point, he's tried to do the introduction.
jordan holmes
He's not going well.
dan friesen
He's listed a couple topics that he wants to get to.
Michael Moore is a slug.
Right.
Gorsuch is cool.
jordan holmes
The former head of the DOD being all what they are.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Running around.
Calling for the murder of Trump.
dan friesen
He's just started ranting now and he's lost control of the fact that he's doing an introduction.
Which I think is fascinating because Steve Pachenik is on Skype.
jordan holmes
He's sitting there just staring in confusion.
dan friesen
He's like, I am...
A doctor.
jordan holmes
I assume if you're a regular Alex Jones guest, you just kind of get used to saying one word every four or five minutes, right?
dan friesen
Yeah, you have to sort of...
jordan holmes
You know what you're getting into.
If you're mad at him, this is on you.
dan friesen
You have to let down your expectations of dignity, kind of, a little bit if you go on his show a lot.
There are a few, like, counterexamples, and actually Steve Pachanek is one of them.
Which is why this interview is fascinating.
Because usually Steve Pachenik is someone who Alex gives a lot of deference to.
A lot of ass-kissing.
Gotcha.
As opposed to someone like an Eddie Bravo.
jordan holmes
Right.
Who just gets some ass-tonguing.
dan friesen
Or Jesse James.
How's your cars?
Cars good?
Cars good?
alex jones
The idea that nationalism came from the Russians is crazy.
And now we have the Federal Elections Commission saying we're looking at trying to go after a drudge report.
They're acting like Trump didn't get elected.
Now, I've talked a lot about this with Dr. Pachenik.
And yes, this was regime change against the globalists.
It's happening all over the world.
But they don't seem to care.
And they're just moving forward.
It is a big crack in their brainwashing that Nunes comes out and says, of course they're spying.
But they were in hundreds of articles in the New York Times and Washington Post saying they were spying two months ago.
But there was nothing in the spying, so Trump said, you shouldn't have leaked your spying.
So then they go, we weren't spying.
We're going to impeach you.
Our guest is also a Harvard-educated psychiatrist, Elon Moore.
jordan holmes
And now we got it.
Now I remember.
I remember now.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, there he is.
dan friesen
I got him.
jordan holmes
Hey, Steve.
dan friesen
So he actually still doesn't introduce him at that point.
jordan holmes
Okay, good.
dan friesen
He rambles some more.
Wonderful.
That, at the end there, is what Alex thinks happened.
With the intelligence stuff.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
None of that is anywhere near reality.
dan friesen
But that's the way he can twist it in his head to make Trump look and feel smart.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Where he's like, oh yeah, Trump was just trolling them the whole time.
jordan holmes
I like his narrative of, it is a regime change that's happening all over the world, and they're acting like it didn't.
Like, they don't care.
unidentified
So...
jordan holmes
So is it really a regime change if nobody cares?
If you're still just acting like everything's not a regime change.
I mean, in Egypt, whenever Mubarak was kicked out and they were just like, okay, you know what we'll do?
We'll kick out this military dictator.
dan friesen
Who cares?
jordan holmes
We'll put in a new military dictator.
That's not a regime change.
dan friesen
No.
Not really.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
Well, like, what his idea of a regime change is, like, against the globalists, in reality, what it is is a very dangerous strain of nationalism that is popping up in a lot of countries and is largely being seeded and helped grow by cyber efforts taken on by the Russians, by Putin.
That's what's going on.
He interprets it as a fight against the globalists who...
jordan holmes
Well, I wouldn't say that it's entirely...
Like, there's a whole lot of factors that have gone into the rise of horrible nationalism.
dan friesen
No, I know, but that's what I'm saying, is it's being assisted by...
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
Everywhere that it's popping up, you do see the fingerprints.
Of Russian involvement.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
That's why you see Marine Le Pen meeting with Putin openly the other day.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's fucked up.
jordan holmes
That is fucked up, right?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
She's just...
That's so weird.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Like, isn't that bad?
dan friesen
It's real bad.
jordan holmes
Like, there's no way you can interpret that in a positive, like, oh, thank God this far-right candidate who hates Muslims and wants to end the EU and is a fascist goes to meet with Putin, who is...
Oh, that's bad.
dan friesen
It's real bad.
unidentified
I don't like it.
dan friesen
It's real bad.
I don't like it.
Alex interprets it as a fight against globalism, and as I've made clear, globalization is a real thing.
Globalists aren't.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
So he's fighting against, or his idea is against a non-existent force, and what he's actually doing is holding water and giving cover, essentially, to this rise of dangerous nationalism.
So, I mean, if he gets his way, we're going to live in a nightmare scape.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But hey, the globalists...
jordan holmes
Yeah, which is way different from what we live in now.
dan friesen
Comparatively?
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's true.
That's a good point.
dan friesen
Shit sucks now, but it could be way worse.
jordan holmes
It could be way worse.
We did get one on the board.
dan friesen
But here's the thing.
Even if that nightmare scape does come to pass, this horrible future that could be down the road, the good news is the globalists will not be in charge.
Because they're not now.
jordan holmes
That is a good point.
dan friesen
It's super self-fulfilling.
jordan holmes
There will be a counter, counter, counter coup.
Or, I mean, at that point, we're probably looking at our sixth or seventh coup.
dan friesen
Oh, yeah.
Maybe eighth.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But, I mean, all it is...
jordan holmes
You know, we're playing chess here.
dan friesen
All it is is just, like, hating the idea of liberalism and sort of liberal democracies.
That's all it is.
jordan holmes
I mean...
Why?
Why does he hate it so much?
dan friesen
It's untraditional.
jordan holmes
Is there any...
Have we ever gotten to a root?
Like, why?
dan friesen
Well, one of the things is that he thinks that liberals want to take your guns.
That's definitely...
He's big in the Second Amendment.
jordan holmes
Okay, so we're basically coming from a straight Texan, like, this is all about personal liberty.
dan friesen
That's a big part of it.
jordan holmes
Gotcha.
dan friesen
He believes that Agenda 21 is real and that liberals want to enforce it, which is bullshit.
jordan holmes
I mean, Agenda 21 is real, and liberals probably would be cool with it, right?
Other than it being a terrible plan that nobody would do.
dan friesen
If Agenda 21, if we're talking about the actual UN suggestion sheet...
jordan holmes
Oh yeah, we are talking about that one.
dan friesen
I don't think that a lot of those suggestions are bad.
jordan holmes
No, they're not terrible.
dan friesen
If you're talking about Agenda 21, the version that's in Alex's head...
jordan holmes
The order to kill all the Jedi.
dan friesen
I don't want that.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
We need the Jedi.
No, I mean, like, it's all by degrees.
Who cares?
jordan holmes
Pour one out for Qui-Gon.
dan friesen
Let's get into this interview with Steve Pachenik.
I will say ahead of time, just because I had to cut out some stuff, it's too long for us to listen to all of it, his big points were that Neil Gorsuch is a neocon and should never be put on the Supreme Court.
jordan holmes
That's good.
dan friesen
Yep.
jordan holmes
That's good.
I like that a lot.
dan friesen
See, that's what I'm talking about.
jordan holmes
That's really good.
dan friesen
But Jenick is coming in with some good stuff today.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
His second point.
jordan holmes
He's bringing hot fire.
dan friesen
His second point.
jordan holmes
The 5% nation should be allowed to take over.
dan friesen
Yakuub created white people in the land.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
That's his second point, of course.
dan friesen
His second point is that it also has to do with the neocons and what have you, but they are trying to get us to go to war with North Korea, and that's fucking stupid.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
And I also agree with him on that count.
jordan holmes
Wow.
dan friesen
So anyway, here's the introduction.
jordan holmes
This is a big day for us.
dan friesen
Here's the introduction of Steve Pachanek's premise.
steve pieczenik
While you and I are talking about other issues, I'm still monitoring the rise and fall of the neocons.
As you know, we were successful in stopping John Bolton for coming in as a key player in the State Department.
Yet today, he went into the White House.
Whether Trump realizes this or not, or he understands what I'm saying, or a group of us who are saying, we're not dilettantes, we're not somebody who has an axe to grind, but there will be no neocons.
in the White House or in the State Department.
Let me repeat it again so Trump and his team understands this.
unidentified
There's nobody in the state.
steve pieczenik
I don't care who you are.
I don't care if you're the CEO of a $500 billion corporation like Mobile Oil.
You do not threaten North Korea under any condition because you have a moron like John Bolton who's never been in the military.
Who was afraid to join our military and publicly said I was scared to get killed in the rice paddies of Vietnam.
alex jones
So breaking this down though, what do you make of the Democrats?
That's my question.
Get to what you want in a minute, but I'm asking.
I get it's a distraction, but they're literally running around saying kill the president and they're not getting in trouble.
steve pieczenik
Alex, they're not relevant.
Right now, the Democrats are not relevant.
The only thing they're relevant to do, and I'm going back to this point, they cannot have neoconservatives coming in.
You can't have the 9-11.
alex jones
So you're saying the neocons are the dangerous group, and Trump can't appease them.
steve pieczenik
Dianne Feinstein is not dangerous.
Nancy Pelosi is not dangerous.
Michael Moore is not dangerous.
They've all been neutralized.
What happened is, thanks to you and the group and those of us who kept the revolution going, the neocons who've been cowards, And deprecated you, me, and Trump snuck back in like a bunch of rats and they're back in the White House.
And instead of focusing on the neoconservative rise, which leads with Gorsuch, Bolton, Abrams, all of whom have no right to come back into the administration.
They were cowards.
They were people who...
alex jones
Let me ask you this.
I mean, I understand that.
What do the neocons want?
jordan holmes
No, you don't.
alex jones
And then looking at what's happening with Korea, what's going on with China and the South China Sea?
steve pieczenik
Alex, listen to me.
I know you don't like it right now.
We're not on the same wavelength.
The neocons want America to go to war.
alex jones
No, I don't want to go to war.
It's not that I disagree with you.
I'm trying to get you on the subject I'm asking.
Go ahead.
jordan holmes
Oh, shit.
Somebody's challenging him.
steve pieczenik
North Korea has 2.2 million men on the DMZ, on the militarized zone.
We are 30 miles away from Seoul.
If John Bolton has his way, he'd have no problem taking preemptive action, whatever that means, because he's never been in the military.
He has no strategy or tactics.
And 2.2 million North Koreans will swarm over the DMZ and literally go in hours right into slow.
alex jones
Well, sure.
So the only action is if they try to load atomics on the missiles, if you want to go to war, is you've got to preemptively nuke?
North Korea, their capital, you've got to hit that whole DMZ line, and then tell China and everybody else, ultimatum, if you try something, Trump's got to deal with Russia, we're going to joint nuke China.
And then I guess they pop up their submarines and nuke the West Coast.
steve pieczenik
Alex, remember, I've been in the business of nuclear deterrence, we took it down, we have the Soviet Union.
alex jones
No, I know, but I mean, that's the public attack plan.
Do you think North Korea will actually take that bluff?
dan friesen
You know what just happened there?
Steve Pachenik said, you're an idiot.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
That was him saying, you're a fucking idiot, Alex.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
You know I've been in the business of nuclear deterrence.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
The big part of nuclear deterrence is, don't kill millions of people.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So, when Alex was starting this, he introduced these premises that he wanted to get to.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
The Democrats being evil.
dan friesen
Judge Gorsuch is awesome.
He's going to get confirmed.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
God, I hope not.
dan friesen
One of Pchenik's main points is the exact opposite of that.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And because Alex has built up Steve Pchenik as this hero and this great source of information.
jordan holmes
You hear it in his voice.
You hear it in his voice when he kind of resigns himself where he's like, I mean, what do you think about North Korea?
dan friesen
He can't fight him on stuff.
So all he can do is try and interrupt him and steer the conversation in a different direction.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
It's fascinating.
jordan holmes
And Pchenik is not having shit.
dan friesen
No.
Alex, I'm sorry, we're not on the same wavelength.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that was so...
We've never heard a quote like that on this show.
dan friesen
This keeps going, and it ends so fucked up.
jordan holmes
Oh my god.
dan friesen
So, listen, I'm not going to carry any water for Steve Pachanek, but I happen to agree with the points he's making in this episode.
jordan holmes
We got one good day.
We got one good day.
Let's fly with it.
dan friesen
I think built into some of the reasons that he believes...
jordan holmes
Bad things.
Bad things.
dan friesen
Some of his arguments for the right conclusion I disagree with, but let's not split hands.
jordan holmes
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Let's do this.
dan friesen
And currently he's Alex Jones' enemy in that studio.
jordan holmes
I know.
dan friesen
So Alex has just said, is North Korea going to take that bluff?
Are they going to bluff?
Here's Steve's answer.
alex jones
With this guy running it?
steve pieczenik
I don't.
North Korea is not interested in a bluff.
North Korea couldn't care less about a sanction.
What North Korea will do is what's best for North Korea.
Our preparation has to do with the tactical and strategic issues of how to deal with North Korea with other countries.
That's what Bolton...
alex jones
No, I understand.
You like Trump.
You're glad he's in.
You're upset to see neocons coming around.
jordan holmes
Not what he said.
alex jones
And you don't think the neocons have learned any lessons?
steve pieczenik
They've been destructive to the country.
What have we done?
alex jones
No, I'm not defending them.
I can't stand the neocons.
jordan holmes
You don't know.
Bullshit.
Bullshit.
alex jones
I don't like the neocons.
jordan holmes
You don't like the neocons?
Nobody likes the neocons.
dan friesen
To be clear, throughout this entire interview, you can see Steve Pachanek continuing to talk, and they've cut his mic off.
jordan holmes
No!
dan friesen
Yeah, so whenever Alex interrupts him, they cut off Steve's mic, and you can see a sense of almost a frustration, a look of like, what?
You can see in his face that he is not on board with what's going on.
He's trying to make the best of it.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
And I don't think I'm reading too much into this.
I don't think he's going to be a guest for a while.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah?
dan friesen
I think Alex might have offended him.
jordan holmes
Wow, we're really getting into some solid schisms in between Alex Jones and literally everybody who likes Alex Jones.
dan friesen
Well, I think that for the last year and a half or so, Steve Pchenik has been this source of information for Alex, and there's been a guru-mentee kind of relationship between them.
jordan holmes
So the student...
dan friesen
Has not become the teacher.
He has not.
But I think that there is a part of this where Steve is trying to make some points that he wants to get through to Alex, and he realizes that Alex is off the reservation.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like, I think he realizes, no, Alex, you have your own points now.
You don't just believe the things I want you to believe.
alex jones
Wow.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's fascinating.
jordan holmes
This is crazy.
dan friesen
So they go on to talk more about the neocons, and this clip...
Really illustrates...
jordan holmes
And the neocons are, just to remind everybody, the reason that we fucking went into Iraq and all that bullshit.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's all those dudes.
jordan holmes
We gotta preemptively fucking fuck everybody over so we can get money.
dan friesen
Right.
The project for a new American century shit.
But they...
Yeah, yeah.
They're awful.
I agree with that.
They're terrible.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
John Bolton is a wacky dude.
jordan holmes
They're gonna get us all killed.
dan friesen
Yeah, very much so.
unidentified
That's their goal.
jordan holmes
The neocons' goal is to wipe out 90% of Chinese people.
We all know this.
dan friesen
We heard it earlier in this episode.
jordan holmes
We saw it.
dan friesen
We heard it earlier in this episode.
jordan holmes
It's in foreign policy.
dan friesen
But he blamed it on the globalists.
jordan holmes
It's in foreign policy.
dan friesen
All right.
So anyway, this clip illustrates that Alex Jones is fucking out of his league in this conversation.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
He's out of his element.
He's out of his depth.
jordan holmes
Donnie.
dan friesen
And he is not a good interviewer.
unidentified
Gotcha.
jordan holmes
Well, we already knew half of those things.
dan friesen
Right.
All of them, actually.
jordan holmes
Yes, we did.
steve pieczenik
They're able to co-opt the conservative party.
They're funded by Shelley Adelson, or they're funded by the Mercers, or whoever it is.
alex jones
What they do is they tell Trump and his weaker people, we'll be nice just as soon as Trump lets us run things.
But then every time he lets them in, they leak information that they are a group of rats.
Perlman and all these people are just, like, crazy.
I mean, like, you know about Perlman, Friends of Darkness.
He, like, showed up at cocktail parties in the news and said, I kill lots of people.
I'm manly.
And then women run from him as if women want a guy to walk up and go, I'm a murderer.
I kill people.
That's not what women want.
I mean, it's like he is totally...
How did a little pasty guy who looks like a raccoon get in control of things?
I mean, how does Bolton with that big, ridiculous mustache...
You're acting like I'm defending the neocons.
I hate the neocons.
jordan holmes
So he's muted right now.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
So Alex Jones is saying all of this nonsense about...
Perlman?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Are we still back on Ron Perlman?
unidentified
No.
jordan holmes
Because I don't think Ron Perlman said that stuff.
dan friesen
I don't know who Perlman is.
jordan holmes
Ron Perlman usually goes up and says, I'm Hellboy.
And that's good enough, right?
dan friesen
And I'm willing to fight Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
No.
But, like, Steve Pachenik wants to talk policy, and Alex can't.
jordan holmes
No, Alex can't do that.
dan friesen
He can talk gossip and John Bolton's mustache.
jordan holmes
And wonk.
He can't talk policy.
dan friesen
No, he's a gossip wonk.
jordan holmes
He can talk wonk.
Not policy.
dan friesen
He's a Paul Ryan school of policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Meaning a fucking idiot.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So Steve gets back in here.
alex jones
Looks like he's like a big brush.
steve pieczenik
They basically scurry away when it comes for time to come forth and do something that's morally right.
They didn't support you.
They didn't go after their own president.
They weren't able to resign.
alex jones
What are you talking about?
They came after me with all their publications and tried to stop Trump.
steve pieczenik
I'm not talking about that.
I'm not talking about their publications.
I'm talking about that they didn't go after the president of the United States.
alex jones
No, I agree.
Why is he going to let people in that were his enemies in the campaign?
steve pieczenik
Because he has no other alternative.
I don't know why he's choosing them.
alex jones
He's an idiot.
At every level, no one will appoint who he says.
Everyone ignores his orders and says, yes, sir, yes, sir, yes, sir.
And he can't get anybody in.
There's a total mutiny.
That's what I'm telling you.
He's got that State Department office.
Running operations against him, saying everybody's a Russian agent.
Well, what do you think of this claim that I'm getting directed by the GD Russians?
steve pieczenik
Well, it's absurd.
You and I know that the Russians could care less, although they like you very much, and they happen to like me or fear me.
It's not relevant.
jordan holmes
Oh, shit!
Oh, shit!
Your mama's so fat, the Russians wouldn't fuck her!
Goddamn!
dan friesen
I'm kind of fine with that answer, though, from him.
jordan holmes
It is exactly...
It's probably the...
True answer.
dan friesen
I don't think that the Russians are feeding Alex Jones things to say.
I just think that they're...
jordan holmes
They like him, incidentally.
It seems like he's an ally that they don't even have to cultivate anyway.
unidentified
No, not at all.
jordan holmes
Like, other people you gotta convince and they're...
dan friesen
They're a compliment on them.
jordan holmes
Yeah, they just smiled at Alex and he's like, oh, I'm so happy that people are paying attention.
dan friesen
Alex is a lucky idiot, basically.
Yeah.
But, so...
jordan holmes
Which is why we're getting into the circumstances we are now.
Because before Alex had any real-world relevancy, he could get away with saying any bullshit that he wanted to.
Now that people are actually paying attention, which is on its own insane, now he's getting into trouble.
Because he's been saying illegal shit, or at the very least libelous shit, for so long that this is the first time that people are like, Oh, we better go after this.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
That's why he's so confused and angry all the time.
dan friesen
He's like, I've been doing this forever.
jordan holmes
Yeah, why are you mad at me now, mommy?
dan friesen
What changed?
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
Well, we just decided it was time to swat you down.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
Like what happened with Cosby.
All right.
dan friesen
Hey, now.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
Hey, now.
jordan holmes
Hey.
dan friesen
So this next clip is they get off track a little bit.
They've been talking a ton about the neocons.
They get off track because Alex keeps, again, steering the conversation in different directions.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
He keeps trying to not deal with substance.
He just wants to, you know, so here's a...
I was watching the video, and I can tell you that what Steve Pachanek ends up saying is not what he meant to say.
unidentified
Gotcha.
dan friesen
He meant to say something far worse.
unidentified
Oh.
dan friesen
And I wish he had.
jordan holmes
Oh, boy.
steve pieczenik
In fact, what's happening is a repetition of the failures that...
Occurred from 9-11 onward, and Trump now will be involved with that very issue.
I don't care about Jared Kushner.
He doesn't know what he's doing.
alex jones
I know.
Another thing is Kushner.
He's a good-looking guy.
His own family gave him the money.
What is this young guy in these meetings with Trump in every different meeting like he's the boss?
steve pieczenik
Well, the problem is Trump has to have somebody around him with whom he feels secure, whether it's Ivanka or Jared Kushner.
alex jones
He likes his family.
steve pieczenik
That's his family.
That's not my problem.
My problem is that Jared...
alex jones
Because as a psychiatrist, what does that say about Trump that he always wants family around?
jordan holmes
He's a pussy.
steve pieczenik
Let's say, on the nicer edge, I can say he loves his family.
On a more sophisticated level, I would say he needs those who he feels comfortable with in order to give himself a kind of psychological barrier to deal with strangers.
unidentified
Oh, shit!
dan friesen
I think that if we...
unidentified
Bullshit!
dan friesen
I think if we parse that...
unidentified
Pachenik is dropping some insecurity bullshit!
dan friesen
But I think that the reality is that he's actually fairly senile, and he has those people around as caretakers.
jordan holmes
You know, I hear the senility argument.
I get why people would think that.
I mean, I think he's just generally an idiot.
It's not like he's ever been more than what he is now.
dan friesen
Fine, fine.
jordan holmes
You can go back and he's what he is.
Now, either he's been senile for 30 goddamn years.
dan friesen
It's not true, though.
If you go back and you watch interviews with him from, like, 20 years ago, he can track thoughts much easier.
Like, he had much more mental cognition, even 10, 15 years ago.
jordan holmes
Oh, really?
Yeah, it's insane.
The only thing I remember from more than however many months I've had to pay attention to him now...
Is that he was in Home Alone 2. Okay, great.
He was pretty great in Home Alone 2. He was articulate.
Oh man, he said all those words?
Nobody asked him to read a book once.
dan friesen
Well, here's the thing.
I think that Steve Pchenik was being diplomatic as hell.
jordan holmes
Yeah, he's saying that Trump is fucking stupid.
dan friesen
You could see it in his face, like...
You could see like a smile and like a...
My professional...
So anyway, this clip isn't done, but I love that.
I think that's great.
Steve Pachenik, like you said, killing it.
jordan holmes
He's on fire right now.
He's an NBA Jam version of Steve Pachenik.
dan friesen
Boom shakalaka!
alex jones
It's funny you say that, you know, the background on Trump.
That's actually the thing, is that...
steve pieczenik
John F. Kennedy had it with RFK.
You know, I don't want to get into the psychiatry of the man.
I understand the man.
The problem isn't understanding him.
The problem is the action that's initiated.
alex jones
Well, he's overcome his...
I'm not going to get into it.
You know what, Doc?
jordan holmes
He's overcome his what?
He's overcome his what?
What did he overcome?
dan friesen
He doesn't want to get into it.
jordan holmes
What did he overcome?
dan friesen
I don't know.
jordan holmes
Gonorrhea.
dan friesen
He's overcome his fear of strangers.
He's overcome his...
I mean, what?
Who knows?
Alex Jones knows something that Donald Trump has recently gotten over.
jordan holmes
Yeah!
Oh, my God.
I want to know.
I want to know.
dan friesen
I would like to know what Alex thinks, but I also...
jordan holmes
The clap.
Gonorrhea.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
AIDS.
dan friesen
I mean, it could be syphilis.
jordan holmes
Trump, it could be syphilis.
That does make you go insane.
Syphilis makes you crazy.
dan friesen
That's why you need family around.
unidentified
Oh, because they are syphilis busters?
dan friesen
No, they're also syphiletic, so they double down on your syphilis logic.
Whatever dumb shit you're saying, because they also have syphilis, it makes sense to them.
jordan holmes
This is the greatest conspiracy theory I've ever heard.
dan friesen
Absolutely.
jordan holmes
Instead of pedophiles, we've just got everybody with syphilis everywhere.
dan friesen
I'm okay with that.
jordan holmes
If you are one of the globalists, they have to give you syphilis.
Or if you're one of the anti-globalists.
dan friesen
We're recording this on Saturday.
jordan holmes
And their cabals.
dan friesen
We're recording this on Saturday.
Did you see on Twitter the pictures of the Pizzagate rallies?
jordan holmes
Uh-uh.
dan friesen
There was a Pizzagate rally in Washington, D.C. It was...
Oh, man.
The pictures are not to be believed.
jordan holmes
There were ones of people.
dan friesen
There were a couple dozen, as I understand.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
This guy did some great reporting on it.
It's amazing.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
I fucking wish I remembered his name.
This is stupid.
I'm not even giving a plug right.
So this next clip, Steve Pachenik transitions to his other prong of his thesis against the neocons, which is about Neil Gorsuch.
jordan holmes
Good.
alex jones
I'm not arguing with you today.
Look, I just know Hillary would destroy the country.
I know Trump's not perfect.
I see him kind of sliding back a little bit, which I expected him to do.
He's already got the heroic stuff done, but I agree with you.
All these neocons that want to start all these wars, it's just insane.
steve pieczenik
Let's start with one at a time.
Gorsuch cannot be nominated for Supreme Court justice.
alex jones
But he seems like a pretty conservative guy.
steve pieczenik
No, he's not a conservative.
alex jones
All right, let's come back.
I've got a bunch of clips I've got to get to, but do a few minutes if you can.
On why you think the new Supreme Court guy's bad.
dan friesen
You can hear in his voice.
jordan holmes
I don't want to hear this.
He doesn't want to hear it.
He doesn't want to hear why Gorsuch is bad.
dan friesen
But listen to how he says Steve Pchenik's name as he goes out to break.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
I'm going to move to Club Sanmore ahead of the next host that joins us.
unidentified
We'll be right back, ladies and gentlemen, with Steve Pchenik.
dan friesen
Oh!
jordan holmes
Oh!
Resigned!
We have to be back with Steve Pachanek?
unidentified
Steve Pachanek isn't making me feel good right now.
We'll be right back with Steve Pachanek.
dan friesen
So they go to commercial break.
jordan holmes
It's like he's throwing a tantrum.
dan friesen
Yeah, definitely.
jordan holmes
Like he's talking to his dad like, I don't like it!
I don't like the way you're talking to me.
dan friesen
You don't say enough good things about Trump.
jordan holmes
I'm an adult.
unidentified
I know that neocons are bad, but I love Trump.
jordan holmes
I know that neocons...
Does he know what a neocon is?
dan friesen
He thinks they're Trotskyites, which I guess there's some historical...
jordan holmes
I guess that's not terrible.
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
But they come back from break.
Alex starts by spinning philosophical about a little bit of stuff.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
And then he gets back to Pachanik.
Who does a really, I would say, pretty decent job of explaining why exactly he is against Gorsuch.
jordan holmes
Awesome.
alex jones
People ask why I like having a country.
Well, it's a culture.
It's ideas.
It's some rules.
Doesn't mean they always get followed.
Doesn't mean it's perfect.
jordan holmes
We're going with the police squad.
dan friesen
But also, I guarantee no one's coming to me like, Alex, why do you like having a country?
jordan holmes
Ask why I like having...
People ask me all the time.
dan friesen
People come up to me and say, Alex, I say what?
jordan holmes
Why?
Why, Alex, do you like having a country?
dan friesen
Don't you think it would be better if we just had city-states?
jordan holmes
Don't you think it would be better if we just had you?
dan friesen
If everyone was Alex?
jordan holmes
If everyone was just Alex and they lived exactly 24 hectares away from each other?
dan friesen
You know what's fucked up?
Because of the idea of infinity and infinite worlds?
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
One world is that.
jordan holmes
Is everybody in...
Everyone is Alex Jones.
dan friesen
And they all live a hectare away from each other.
That does exist.
jordan holmes
Well, in the multiverse, all things are and have happened.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
And unfortunately, this is happening now.
jordan holmes
Excellent.
alex jones
Globalism, a bunch of multinational Mark Zuckerbergs and Eric Schmitz running around playing God.
That's a nightmare.
But when you talk about the neocons, almost none of them were ever in the military.
They always want wars.
They're always talking about...
Nuclear war would be survivable.
Let's have it.
It really is a crazy mindset.
jordan holmes
The thing that you have said should happen multiple times.
dan friesen
Yep.
jordan holmes
The thing that Alex Jones has advocated for, he is now condemning in the neocons.
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
jordan holmes
Because daddy told him to.
unidentified
Uh-huh.
All right.
alex jones
I get what Dr. Steve Pichanik's talking about here.
jordan holmes
No, you don't.
alex jones
And I see this new Supreme Court justice.
I think about if Hillary was in, who would we be getting?
So just to be clear, why are you saying there's issues with this guy?
steve pieczenik
Let me put it this way.
For many of the people in the audience, I would love them to see a film called Judgment at Nuremberg.
But the Nuremberg trials were exactly about Judge Gorsuch.
The question was asked by our...
Prosecutors after the war, why were German Nazi judges, who were very sane and normal and had huge degrees from America, Britain, and Germany, able to initiate laws that were against the Jews, gays, whatever, and they were suppressed?
And why were these decent people, and this judge is an extremely decent individual, but during a 14-month period, He cracked his decency and literally began to go into the fascist state.
He thought it was good to initiate a suppression of freedom, a surveillance of what our normal freedoms are, increased enhanced torture.
He justified it.
Went to Guantanamo, said this was the best thing he could have had.
He wrote to the Council on Foreign Relations, and remember, I was there and then I left, that we should have a policy discussion on the need for torture.
And so what happened during these 14 months was to reveal the underlying nature of this so-called decent American who was not unlike many of the German judges who were decent German judges, but they followed orders.
And the orders were to suppress American freedoms.
He should have said no.
jordan holmes
He called Gorsuch a nut!
dan friesen
Well, no, he made the...
jordan holmes
He called Gorsuch a Nazi!
dan friesen
He made the Nuremberg claim, and you're like, that's a little extreme, but then he laid it out really well.
jordan holmes
Yeah, he laid it out really well.
Now, the problem I have there is that that's what fucking Scalia was, you goddamn piece of shit, Pachenik.
Why aren't you against Scalia, you pile of fucking garbage?
dan friesen
Let's not litigate the dead.
jordan holmes
Fair enough.
Let's just kill him again.
dan friesen
Let's bring him back.
Take him to another Illuminati launch.
Have him murdered again.
jordan holmes
Fucking murder him again.
dan friesen
But, like, who cares?
We're not dealing with Scalia right now.
jordan holmes
That's true.
We're dealing with Scalia 2.0.
dan friesen
We're dealing with the reality in front of us, and I agree again with Steve Pachanek on this.
I mean, it's nuts.
jordan holmes
He's right.
dan friesen
I never like agreeing with people on Alex's show.
jordan holmes
Every single thing that he just said made perfect sense.
dan friesen
Yeah, he was working, helped put through the Patriot Act, helped enhance interrogations.
jordan holmes
The fact that he went to Guantanamo Bay and was like...
This is sweet.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
He's a sociopath, right?
There's no other way that you can go to watch people being tortured on a daily basis and say, this is good, unless you have zero empathy.
dan friesen
Well, I mean, that doesn't make you necessarily a sociopath.
It makes you like a situational sociopath.
jordan holmes
Right, a Nazi.
dan friesen
Because you just believe that these other people don't have rights, but other people who are like you do.
jordan holmes
Right, like the Jews and Nazis.
dan friesen
Sort of like that, yeah.
jordan holmes
So he's a Nazi.
dan friesen
Absolutely.
jordan holmes
I'm a big fan of saying the word Nazi on this show.
dan friesen
Yeah, you are.
I'm not going to go quite as far as you, but, you know, Nazi-ish.
I'm going to go Nazi-ish.
jordan holmes
Awful, awful Nazi-ish.
dan friesen
He goes a little bit farther in this next clip as to say that Neil Gorsuch supports fascism, which is fascinating, and Alex can't handle this shit.
jordan holmes
Alex can't do it?
steve pieczenik
At least with Cheney, I knew what Cheney was.
He was a rat.
He was a rat from day one, and he was a rat from day five, but he never changed his stripes.
This guy, Gorsuch, was changing his stripes right and left and then stood on a self-righteous step and said, what, me?
I haven't done anything.
I was just a lawyer.
No, you were more than a lawyer.
You were the perpetrator and the instigator and the facilitator of suppression of the state.
That's called fascism.
If it's fascism for a day, a week, or a year, that's still fascism.
For that reason alone, he does not deserve to be Supreme Court Justice.
unidentified
Yeah.
Wow.
dan friesen
Get him.
jordan holmes
Wow.
unidentified
Get him.
jordan holmes
Man, I am jerking off to Pachanek right now.
dan friesen
He had a good set.
That's what it was.
He had a good set.
jordan holmes
That's right.
Yeah.
dan friesen
So let's get through these last two.
There's two more clips of Pachanek before it gets to, like, what I...
jordan holmes
To the esoteric ramblings of a madman.
dan friesen
Which is obviously in response to how poorly this interview is going.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah.
No, this...
Sent him into an existential crisis is the angle we're taking on this, right?
dan friesen
The last two clips, Pachenik has talked for a bit of a stretch, and you can see Alex kind of sitting there like...
There's like a sense of...
jordan holmes
Well, he's gotten more words consecutively than I've ever heard a guest get.
Right?
He's thrown Alex Jones into a full-on...
Shockly.
dan friesen
Well, because at the beginning of this, in the first few clips of the Pchenik interview, Alex was constantly trying to reshift the argument.
He even said, I'm trying to get you to talk about what I want you to talk about.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And he realized, I can't do it.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
Steve is too forceful.
jordan holmes
So he's given up.
dan friesen
More or less.
jordan holmes
So as we've once again discovered, Alex is a bully.
dan friesen
And a pussy.
jordan holmes
And when he's not allowed to bully, he...
He sulks.
He sulks.
He's sulking.
dan friesen
Yeah, but he...
jordan holmes
Alex Jones is sulking right now, like any real man would.
Uh-huh.
dan friesen
He makes one last effort to sort of distract and change the narratives that are going on here in this next clip.
jordan holmes
Right, right.
His last...
alex jones
Well, this thing's gonna get confirmed.
I mean, look, I understand the stuff with Leonard Bush, the guy that followed orders, whatever.
unidentified
Nope.
alex jones
I mean, I get what you're saying.
My issue is, can you imagine what Hillary was going to do if she got in with these judges?
steve pieczenik
I'm not worried about Hillary.
We're not talking about Hillary.
Hillary's off on another planet.
alex jones
No, I understand.
We're moving forward.
We can't look at the past and judge things by that.
steve pieczenik
I can't put back in there the people who created the problems to begin with.
You and I started...
alex jones
I'm almost out of time.
Let me shift gears back to Nunes.
You know, he's standing up and saying, yeah, they're spying on Trump.
That's a good thing.
steve pieczenik
Of course, I told you 10 years ago.
alex jones
No, we know.
We know.
So what does it mean that the media would run this whole hoax that Trump's not being spied on?
steve pieczenik
It's again a distraction.
I'm going back to you 100 times.
alex jones
Yeah, but here's the thing.
You're a smart guy.
Don't blind yourself just because you know this, that the public needs to know.
When they're up there saying, we're liars, there's no surveillance.
unidentified
This is Jerry Springer right now.
jordan holmes
We're getting into it.
steve pieczenik
Well, I just said it.
We have surveillance.
But the key issue is the public doesn't know.
We've got 500 Marines being put into Syria in a war that can't be won, in a battle that was not even planned out correctly in Raqqa.
alex jones
But I mean, Trump promised to knock them out.
You don't think they can kill those guys?
jordan holmes
No.
steve pieczenik
He can't kill them.
You don't kill so-called terrorists.
alex jones
No, I get it.
You turn off their command and control.
As you're saying, the command and control is still inside the U.S. government.
So what is Trump doing in 60 seconds?
steve pieczenik
I'm sorry, Alex.
What's going on?
alex jones
No, I mean, I just asked a question.
dan friesen
No, he just didn't understand what the fuck Alex told him.
jordan holmes
What does Trump do in 60 seconds?
dan friesen
Yeah, he didn't understand.
He's like, what?
jordan holmes
How many cars can he steal in 60 seconds?
dan friesen
How many angels can he fit on the head of a pin?
jordan holmes
Is Nicolas Cage there?
dan friesen
The mom is the doctor.
jordan holmes
Ooh, is Trump Nicolas Cage?
dan friesen
I can't prove he's not.
jordan holmes
That's a good point.
dan friesen
So this next clip is the end of the interview, and I don't want to spoil how it ends, but just listen for it.
unidentified
It's...
dan friesen
It made me...
jordan holmes
It ends with a review of Beauty and the Beast, right?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And they're like, man, I wish she had done more of the original songs.
dan friesen
Emma Stone is getting nominated.
Wait, Emma Watson is getting nominated.
I can't keep track of anybody in Hollywood.
jordan holmes
All the Emmas.
dan friesen
The end of this is interesting.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Enjoy, and just know that when I heard this, I got a shiver.
Yeah, I got a shiver in my spine.
unidentified
Ooh.
steve pieczenik
The basic...
Premise of all wars is you win it by using the head, not by using guns.
Guns on the ground, particularly with the Marines, you've got cannon fodder.
I've got boys who just came back from Africa.
They don't know what they were doing in Africa.
They don't know why they were shooting at certain people.
They don't know why we have troops in eastern Africa.
alex jones
No, I know.
I understand.
So you're saying it is literally just a defense contractor event.
steve pieczenik
Industrial complex again.
We don't need $58 billion more in a budget that's already blowed at the $600 billion.
I have 888 generals and admirals, twice the amount I had in World War II.
Yet in World War II, I won two wars with George Marshall and Eisenhower, and we never had as many generals.
alex jones
All right.
Dr. Machinic, always great to talk to you.
SteveMachinic.com.
Thank you.
steve pieczenik
Bye.
alex jones
There we go.
jordan holmes
Oh, man.
dan friesen
That is not how you end an interview.
jordan holmes
That is not how you end a marital fight.
That's what that was.
dan friesen
That was so abrupt.
jordan holmes
That was a husband and wife fight right there.
They need to go to couples counseling.
dan friesen
You know why they shut it off, though?
It was because he was arguing against...
jordan holmes
He was saying that you shouldn't have the military industrial complex get more money.
dan friesen
Well, he was arguing against Trump's budget, basically, and...
jordan holmes
You can't do that.
dan friesen
Alex can't stand that.
jordan holmes
You can't do that.
dan friesen
Can't have that.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
So he just shut down his hero, Steve Pchenik.
jordan holmes
Pchenik just fucking...
Went to town.
dan friesen
Now, you might think that he cut him off that abruptly for time.
jordan holmes
Pachenik just made the same arguments that I could have made.
dan friesen
Probably, yeah.
War is bad.
Don't fuck with North Korea.
jordan holmes
We don't need that much of a budget.
dan friesen
I think he made a better argument against Gorsuch than I could have.
jordan holmes
Yeah, no, absolutely.
That was perfect.
dan friesen
Yeah, the budget for the military is out of control.
It doesn't need more money.
jordan holmes
Doesn't.
Should have reduced money.
dan friesen
I cut out some parts where he was talking about how ISIS is controlled by the CIA and stuff like that.
jordan holmes
Well, there we go.
dan friesen
I kind of disagree with that stuff.
jordan holmes
There we go.
All right.
dan friesen
But the bigger points...
jordan holmes
And the thing that he talked about with Syria is amazing because, I mean, we're so distracted by all the shit that Trump is doing.
We're forgetting that Trump has now killed more civilians in Syria in the first two months than fucking Obama did in...
Years.
What we're doing in Syria is insane.
And we can't add that to our list of calamities that we're trying to deal with right now.
There's so much shit going on that we are murdering people.
We are murdering people and nobody can pay attention to it.
dan friesen
Nope.
jordan holmes
That's fucking nuts.
dan friesen
The world is spiraling out of control.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
dan friesen
If you grab hold of one thing to focus on, you lose track of 20 others.
But anyway, you might think that it's because of time.
That he was just like, we don't have time.
jordan holmes
I do not think it's because of time.
That tone of voice in both of them says it is not because of time.
dan friesen
I think he might want to say that it was because of time.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
But the way he fills the next half hour before, I think, David Knight takes over for the fourth hour proves...
He could have talked to Janik much longer.
unidentified
Ooh.
dan friesen
Because he's got nothing.
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
dan friesen
This is nothing.
jordan holmes
This is nothing?
dan friesen
But it is awesome.
jordan holmes
I love it when he's got nothing.
dan friesen
It starts by him misinterpreting something from the Bible.
alex jones
As the House Intel chair confirms Obama administration surveilled Trump.
That's a longer clip from C-SPAN.
jordan holmes
Didn't do that.
alex jones
He walked it back.
Incidental collection, unmasking, widely disseminated.
jordan holmes
Bullshit.
He got it from the White House.
alex jones
See, their argument is...
Trump wasn't the target.
It was his building and his phone numbers and his staff.
That's playing lawyer games again, folks.
And Pachetta's right.
It's a distraction.
But if we tell you they're going to call for overthrowing Trump in a civil emergency and martial law, and three months later it comes true, we have to point it out because they're saying we're the fake news.
dan friesen
But it hasn't.
jordan holmes
Nope.
And it won't.
dan friesen
Nope.
alex jones
If we point out Trump was being surveilled, we told you exactly how, studying the law.
And then it, again, comes out, we're right.
We have to do it because it's not just about the regular audience that's already awake.
God love you.
You're the key to everything.
We're trying to reach the people.
It's the prodigal son story in the Bible.
The younger son says, I want my inheritance.
And the father says, hey, everything's great here at our ranch or farm.
He goes, I want it.
He goes, okay, here's your, he runs off for like five years, drunk, partying, prostitutes, blows it all.
Comes back and the older brother's like, I've been a good steward.
What the hell?
You're having a party?
That the prodigal son just came back?
unidentified
The father looks at him and he goes, this is your brother?
alex jones
Can you imagine what it would be like if it was you?
You're strong.
I don't expect you to do that.
This is still our family.
And, you know, that's when I'm coming at this.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
That's what he thinks the prodigal son was about?
dan friesen
Yep.
jordan holmes
Has he...
Are we sure he's ever read the Bible?
dan friesen
No, but he's read the headlines.
jordan holmes
His...
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
That's it.
He doesn't know how to read.
The Texas public schools failed him.
He has no reading comprehension skills.
jordan holmes
Wow.
That's what he thinks the prodigal son was about.
dan friesen
As I understand it.
jordan holmes
I love that conversation that he thinks that the dad's like, dude, you're fine.
Look at this idiot.
We gotta be cool with him.
Like, what's happening?
dan friesen
Well, like, okay, so there's a couple problems with his interpretation of the prodigal son.
The first is, the idea in the book, or in the parable in the Bible, is that the son goes away.
And then realizes the error of his ways.
jordan holmes
Learns his lesson, works with pigs, covered in shit.
dan friesen
Willingly comes back and is welcomed back by the father, and the brother is confused by it, and he's like, this is your brother who was dead and is now alive.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
That is a celebration.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Now, the problem for Alex is, in order for his sort of analogy to make sense, all of us at some point would have had to be info warriors who strayed.
And we got sort of tricked by the mainstream media, and then now he wants us to come back.
jordan holmes
Is that what he's saying?
dan friesen
Kind of, yes.
jordan holmes
I didn't understand the point of that.
dan friesen
The prodigal son, in his analogy, or his using of it, is these people who aren't red-pilled, as it were.
No, the people who don't see the truth that info-warriors know.
Those are the prodigal sons that he wants to come back.
jordan holmes
But they were never...
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
Now, the second problem is in the prodigal son, the father doesn't scream at the son to come back.
He doesn't.
unidentified
He's not like, son, you brainwashed, you dumb fuck.
dan friesen
The globalists done gotcha.
jordan holmes
The globalists done gotcha, boy.
dan friesen
So the idea of it is a lesson learned brings you back to where you were supposed to be.
Not that being screamed at...
Oh, man.
Alex is really dumb, is what it turns out.
jordan holmes
Alex is really dumb.
dan friesen
But he still has to throw in scripture every now and again because if he doesn't...
jordan holmes
Otherwise he won't get the cred.
dan friesen
He loses his Christian bona fides.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
So he goes on from here to get even weirder.
This clip starts with him...
I mean, this is a perfect example of how he's just vamping.
He starts with some false modesty.
He gets into an impression and then tells a...
Fucked up analogy.
jordan holmes
I love his impressions.
I'm a big fan of his analogies.
Do we get any personal history?
dan friesen
No personal history in this episode.
jordan holmes
You know I've become obsessed with finding out more about him.
dan friesen
I am too.
jordan holmes
While at the same time...
Never looking it up or doing any research of my own.
dan friesen
This analogy that he makes has some implied history.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
And you might be able to gleep that he has done the thing he discusses at the end.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
But I don't want to say he definitely has because it's really fucked up.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
I want to request that you don't say anything over at least the end of this clip.
jordan holmes
Done.
dan friesen
Because you need to hear him say this.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Because otherwise, if you don't get all the words, you might think, oh, it's not as fucked up as it is.
It's super fucked up.
alex jones
I don't expect attention to me.
You call to see how great I am.
Listen, our country's got its legs cut off, bleed to death.
Great, I'm great because I don't want to die.
And I'm not bitching that you thank me.
It's just like, I don't deserve it.
This is self-preserveyance.
jordan holmes
Preserveyance?
alex jones
The prodigal son is who we want.
We want the people who aren't totally turned over to the lie.
We want to reach out to them.
So we have to point out, see?
The government says you don't have a memory.
Jonathan Gruber says you're dumb.
I don't think you're dumb.
If you start using your memory and get connected to God, you can live.
I don't talk slow to be mean.
That's how I've got to talk to you like NPR.
dan friesen
That's not how NPR talks.
alex jones
Trump talks to people like it's real slow.
And it's not because he doesn't know that you don't already know it.
unidentified
He's not going after you.
jordan holmes
He's doing the ends.
unidentified
He's going after people that are unconscious and are in a sleep state.
alex jones
Sleep.
Sleep.
Come out of the sleep.
And I've never been scientific about all this.
Now that I'm 43 and doing this for 20-something years and seeing what's been effective telling the truth, I understand more now.
So Pacinic's all frustrated because he's all up there knowing how stuff works, been involved with stuff, and he's a real deal.
He's been involved in a lot of things.
He's all pissed because he's wanting to communicate with the government structure and get them to stop.
And that's fine.
I communicate with them, too.
I am communicating with the people because at the end of the day, that's where their power comes from.
I mean, I'm not saying Pacinic's wrong about stuff, but six, seven years ago, he was like, we need a revolution now, violent, let's do it.
I'm like, no.
You watch.
It's cultural.
We're going to win.
They want a violent.
Because they think they can defeat that.
We're going to be peaceful until they attack us.
And then, I don't take any pleasure if it's physical people, like killing dumbasses that work for the globalists.
That's like some dumb dog running off its back porch trying to bite you because you're walking down the alley.
unidentified
You know?
alex jones
And you've got to kick the dog upside the head.
It keeps coming at you.
You just kind of go, oh, I'm sorry.
take up an old pole or something on the side of the alley and beat his brains out.
There's a dog all bleeding to death right there.
And it's like, yeah, that sucks, man.
I wouldn't do that.
That's the same deal.
I don't want to kill anybody.
unidentified
What the fuck was that?
dan friesen
What the goddamn fuck was that?
jordan holmes
What was that?
What was that?
unidentified
I don't understand what any of that means.
jordan holmes
All I know is that he's killed a fucking dog before!
unidentified
And he said it came off someone's back porch, so it's someone's dog.
That's a super specific made-up analogy!
dan friesen
That's why I implied that maybe...
jordan holmes
He maybe killed a dog!
dan friesen
He might have.
jordan holmes
He beat a dog to death!
dan friesen
I think that the analogy he was trying to make and failed...
jordan holmes
What the f***?
What the fuck was that?
dan friesen
Well, I think what he wanted to say was...
jordan holmes
Make me feel better, Dan.
dan friesen
I think it's like, I take no pleasure in, like, you see a dog with rabies that's hurting and dying on the street, and you've got to mercy kill it.
Or something like that.
jordan holmes
Except he said, dumb dog.
dan friesen
He did.
jordan holmes
Just like a dumb dog.
You know, like, you know, I mean, if you can't wake up, you're like a dumb dog that I gotta murder.
dan friesen
I gotta hit in the head with a pole.
jordan holmes
I take no pleasure in murdering dumb people, but hey, sometimes you gotta murder dumbasses.
You know, that's no big deal.
You just murder them like a dog.
You murder dogs!
dan friesen
If you use the metaphor that he's making, he is saying sometimes you gotta kill people.
jordan holmes
Sometimes you gotta kill dumb people.
dan friesen
I take no pleasure in it, but dumb people must die.
jordan holmes
He just...
That's fucking nuts.
dan friesen
He's losing it.
jordan holmes
That's wackadoo shit.
That's Leanne wackadoo level shit.
dan friesen
And you see how, like, lazily he's delivering this, too.
He's so fucking spun out of control because of this interview with Pchenik.
Like, it's all the other stuff that's going on in the world, this clear lawsuit about Pizzagate that's in the works, his Adderall money going away, the fact that they're looking into the bots that are promoting his website, which, even if there's no involvement with Russia, He's going to have to realize that that means all this newfound audience is fake.
jordan holmes
It's not real.
dan friesen
He doesn't actually have the popularity that he thinks he has.
A lot of it is automated traffic and shit like that.
So all of this is spinning in his head.
Now he's got Steve Pachenik on his show where he's like, alright, this is safe harbor.
This guy likes me.
We're gonna just spin some conspiracy yarns together and scare some people.
And fucking even Steve Pachenik won't play ball.
And now he's like, fuck, what do I do?
jordan holmes
Imagine murdering people.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
That's...
Like, that interview with Pchenik has taken him to a violent bent.
Like, that's what is going on right there.
That whole thing is now he's responding to that the only way he knows how to with his ultra-male, we gotta murder people shit.
dan friesen
Yeah, it'll turn esoteric here in a second, but before it does...
jordan holmes
That was fucking...
unidentified
Nuts!
dan friesen
He's got to start...
jordan holmes
That was nuts even for Alex Jones.
I'm blown away by that nonsense.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
But, you know, he's kind of like a boat adrift at this point, and he's got to find something to hold on to, something to anchor.
jordan holmes
Well, and do you remember the story of the prodigal son?
dan friesen
I do.
jordan holmes
Right?
The son goes out after getting all of his inheritance before he deserves it, and then he loses all of it just partying.
And then his dad murders him like a dog.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
You remember that part of the prodigal son?
dan friesen
It's important.
His dad didn't take pleasure in it.
jordan holmes
No, no, no.
He doesn't like it.
And his brother's like, what the fuck?
You're murdering my brother.
And he's like, dude.
dan friesen
He was prodigal.
jordan holmes
He was prodigal as fuck.
dan friesen
Like, I don't know.
unidentified
PAF.
dan friesen
So like I said, he's a boat adrift.
And he has to anchor onto something.
And the only thing that he's been talking about that he...
It doesn't really relate back to things that he got slapped down by Pachanek about.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Is Nunez.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
And the wiretapping stuff.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Who he calls Nunez.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So he takes Devin Nunez.
jordan holmes
And Nunez.
dan friesen
He uses him now as like, okay, I'm going to use him to steady myself.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
So this next clip is about Nunez.
alex jones
Nunez knows everything about this.
And I don't know enough about Nunez.
He's got some good voting records, some bad voting records.
I just, out of all the people, he's not a coward.
dan friesen
He also was on Trump's transition team.
jordan holmes
Yup!
He also did not brief the House Intelligence Committee about his new information.
He instead went directly to the White House, had his talking points given to him by the Trump White House.
Not Trump, Steve Bannon, of course.
Because Trump, as we've already established, doesn't have Ivanka or Kushner there, which he's starting to lose his shit because he can't...
Communicate with people.
dan friesen
That's why Ivanka needs an office.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
dan friesen
Speaking of what, I mean, like, not about that, but again, to the Nunez information stuff, that press conference that he did, to use Alex's terminology, I've reverse engineered it.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
And in the next episode, it's going to be laid bare.
jordan holmes
Oh, we're getting to...
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Man, you are teasing the fuck out of the next episode.
dan friesen
It's worth it.
But here we go.
alex jones
Because they're now threatening to try to remove him.
They're saying he's a Russian agent.
They're coming after him because he's the one guy in that whole pantheon of cowards, other than Rand Paul, coming out and saying it's ridiculous, and he was called an agent of Putin.
You work for Putin.
You look at people like, Elijah Cummings, I mean, you know, give me a break, man.
The Democratic Party has been so controlled by the Russians during the Cold War that it's a joke, and then you've got the nerve to look at people like Nunes?
Who's just telling the truth and say he's an evil person?
So I'm not in some butt-kissing event for Nunes.
I just recognize courage.
jordan holmes
Give me a break.
Give me a break.
Break me off a piece of that propaganda.
dan friesen
I'm not.
unidentified
And I'm not.
dan friesen
It's the same thing he does with Trump.
I'm not kissing Trump's ass.
He's just that great.
jordan holmes
And I don't want to take credit for not kissing Trump's ass.
I just don't need to.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So in this next clip, he cucks out Steve Pachanek a little bit.
I don't know if he realizes he's doing it, but then...
jordan holmes
Of course not.
It's the only thing he can do.
dan friesen
He does our third favorite thing, which is tell a story about going to dinner.
alex jones
I don't like seeing anybody fall to this brainwashing.
I don't like seeing anybody buy into this stuff.
I don't feel powerful looking at Michael Moore, a total piece of crap, traitor to humanity, a total lying slug.
I feel bad.
And I'm not lecturing Pechenik.
You talk to these guys, not just him, I talk to these guys on and off air, you name it.
jordan holmes
I am not.
alex jones
People were higher up in the CIA than Pechenik.
dan friesen
There was the cucking.
jordan holmes
I am not lecturing Steve Pechenik.
I mean, I talk to people higher up than Steve Pechenik.
dan friesen
On and off air, you name it.
jordan holmes
Steve Pachanek is, you know, he's like a mid-tier guy that I don't need to lecture the mid-level guys.
Uh-uh, Steve Pachanek just doesn't know all the stuff I know.
dan friesen
And I think a lot of this sort of response indicates to me, if Steve listens to this show, he can't be happy with where Alex went after the interview.
jordan holmes
There's no way Steve listens to the show.
dan friesen
If I were him, I would.
jordan holmes
Maybe he got the gist later on.
dan friesen
From like an intern or something?
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
All right.
Who cares?
alex jones
And they just are like, don't worry about that.
It's the big stuff, the big narratives, you know, the government.
Worry about that.
I fundamentally believe in broadcasting the truth everywhere.
dan friesen
Nope.
alex jones
And that you inform the public in general about liberty and that tyrants will disappear like phantoms at dawn, to quote Thomas Jefferson, or paraphrase him.
And it's not that I'm here saying I have all the answers.
I just instinctively have to try to sit there.
And, I mean, I walked into a place yesterday for dinner, and I had a couple of young, attractive ladies giggling and go, oh, it's Alex Jones, the guy that says your TV's watching you.
And then I realized that their lawyer husbands or boyfriends came over to the table right after that.
unidentified
What?
alex jones
Well, Alex Jones, we watched you.
We were just talking about you today.
And I'm, oh, yeah, I'm sure you were.
See, the fact that I'm right is what makes me even funnier.
Because they have to make it a joke that I'm so right because, see, then they might have to do something that their TV's watching them.
dan friesen
Alex, Alex, Alex.
Alex, baby.
jordan holmes
What?
dan friesen
You being right does not make you funny.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
That's not what we're laughing at.
jordan holmes
Two young attractive ladies.
dan friesen
Hell yeah, baby.
jordan holmes
Young attractive ladies came up to him not as an unusual occurrence.
Two young attractive women always come up to me.
dan friesen
It's de rigueur.
jordan holmes
And then their lawyer boyfriends.
dan friesen
Or husbands.
jordan holmes
Or husbands.
Which, as we all know, you can tell them by their Muslim headscarves.
dan friesen
Oh, sure, sure.
jordan holmes
That's what all lawyers wear.
dan friesen
No, that's what trendies do.
jordan holmes
Trendies wear in the Muslim headscarves.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So in that, they were making fun of him, right?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
In that story, they were mocking him.
dan friesen
If that happened, yes.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
That did not happen.
dan friesen
I think that maybe someone was like, hey, look, it's Alex Jones.
And that's it.
jordan holmes
That's probably it, yeah.
dan friesen
By the way, not a story.
jordan holmes
No.
unidentified
No.
jordan holmes
Is there a point to that?
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
He's so right.
He's funnier when he's right.
dan friesen
He's so right that people have to make him into a joke.
He's not right.
He is a joke.
jordan holmes
He's wrong about that.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
He's so wrong about being right that he's a joke.
dan friesen
It's insane.
jordan holmes
He's a joke.
dan friesen
He's been wrong about countless things just today.
I can't say whether or not he's wrong about this next thing, but I do think that maybe the LSD he took kicked in right before this clip.
jordan holmes
They're lawyer boyfriends.
They're lawyer boyfriends.
So you know they're high class.
I love the weird little details that he throws into this that just kind of...
unidentified
It's a good restaurant he's going to.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
There's this whole...
Anytime you're lying, you wind up putting a lot more details in there than you need to.
But also, there's all these little psychological things that go into there where it's like, I would never speak to somebody who wasn't of a higher class.
Only the higher class people come up to me.
I go to these places where the higher class people live.
He's such a star fucker.
dan friesen
Yeah, I mean, it begs the question, like, how does he know that these are lawyers?
jordan holmes
Right!
And he doesn't...
He very much implies that that was the end of the conversation.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Like, there's no...
Like, if he had a conversation with them, he would have told us all about that.
dan friesen
Probably.
jordan holmes
And instead, it seemed like they kind of just laughed at him a little bit.
unidentified
I think so.
jordan holmes
And then left.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And the lawyers told me we watch your show.
We watch your show.
And then they laughed at him.
dan friesen
Look, do you understand the crushing pressure that exists to be Alex Jones right now?
jordan holmes
I don't.
dan friesen
It's got to be fucking difficult.
jordan holmes
I can't imagine the crushing pressure that Alex Jones is under right now.
dan friesen
Because all the 23 years he went ignored is coming back to haunt him.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like, before, no one gave a shit.
That's what we talked about earlier.
Now people are starting to pay attention.
They're like, oh, hey, fuck you!
jordan holmes
Unfortunately, he spent 20 years building a case against him.
dan friesen
Yeah, and building up a very respectable, but not all that huge audience of real fringe weirdos.
jordan holmes
Yeah, this is the thing that I think he had no idea.
Well, this is one of the things we've talked about.
Is that he doesn't know how to win.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
And he had no idea that he was hitching himself to the wagon of somebody who would win.
Like, that's the thing that really took him down.
Because if we are giving him even that base cunning, then he had to have latched onto Trump because Trump was a joke.
So he pulls out this guy who is a man after his own heart, pulling out nonsense left and right, saying bullshit.
He hitches his wagon to him, assuming that we can dovetail together.
dan friesen
We can lose together.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
And that will give us both more of a platform to say the dumber shit that we have to say.
Now that he's won, now people have to engage with him.
dan friesen
Well, I mean, it's the same thing with what a lot of people have come out and said about the failed Obamacare repealing.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Where there were senators that came out, or, excuse me, House members, who came out and said, we pushed for this when Obama was in office.
jordan holmes
Because we knew he would veto it.
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
We knew it would never work.
Now we have a president who we know will pass it.
We can't posture like that.
jordan holmes
Well, one of the most brutal things, one of the...
Republican said something absolutely...
It was like a one moment of clarity where he goes, you know, in the past eight years, I don't think we've ever done anything positive.
I don't think we've ever done anything that advances forward our ideas.
dan friesen
Just tearing things down.
jordan holmes
We've just been the party who is trying to say no.
And if we don't do something positive, what are we here for?
That was...
The thing that, A, we've all been saying.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And it seems like that's the first time he's ever even considered the possibility that he's a giant pile of garbage.
dan friesen
It's tough to look in the mirror.
unidentified
Yeah, right?
dan friesen
But my point is that Alex, I think, is like those senators, House members, but in this case, they accidentally passed the Obamacare repealing.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
He joined up with Trump because it's like, Trump is going to lose.
I'm going to say that he could destroy the globalists, but when he loses, I can say that he was cheated out of it, and then we can keep that narrative going in perpetuity.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
And as long as Trump isn't the president, he'll come on my show and say the exact same things that I say.
jordan holmes
Or if Trump had done his whole news network like what the idea or the thing floated after that was, then...
Alex Jones would have had a syndicated show.
dan friesen
He might have been in charge of it.
jordan holmes
He might have been on that network.
dan friesen
But unfortunately, his metaphorical Obamacare repealing passed.
And now he's like, oh shit.
He is not taking out the globalists.
jordan holmes
It is fascinating because the more we live in this, the more it seems like Trump being elected was bad for everyone.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Trump included.
jordan holmes
Trump included.
No one on the planet, it turns out...
dan friesen
Putin.
jordan holmes
Actually, well, except for Putin.
dan friesen
Putin's probably the only person.
jordan holmes
Probably the only person.
dan friesen
Well, and white supremacists.
jordan holmes
Well, and Le Pen and white supremacists, and of course.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
But even then, other than a tacit encouragement to commit more violence, white supremacists aren't getting any of the shit that they want either.
dan friesen
No, but they're getting marketing opportunities, and they're probably getting...
jordan holmes
The most American thing you can get.
Marketing opportunity.
dan friesen
I think they're also probably getting increased recruitment.
I would assume.
jordan holmes
I would say so.
Or at least the ability to be more free with your idiotic nonsense.
dan friesen
Sure.
And even if it's in the negative, even if it is against, the media talking more and more about people who have bigoted positions only emboldens people to be like, oh wait, I feel that way too.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
It's almost like they are finally realizing what it feels like to be gay or trans and come out of the closet.
unidentified
Dude.
jordan holmes
Like, do you know how more comfortable you are in your own skin when you don't have to hide who you are?
dan friesen
Okay, so Owen Schroyer and Leanne McAdoo did an interview with, I can't remember her name, but she used to be in the Pussycat Dolls.
jordan holmes
OT and the Wax, as I like to call them.
dan friesen
Sure.
They did an interview with this gal who was in the Pussycat Dolls and left and is a Trump supporter.
jordan holmes
Great.
dan friesen
And so they're talking to her, and she's describing the experience of realizing that she's conservative exactly like gay people talk about.
And it's like, I mean...
jordan holmes
Can't you just make that one small connection?
dan friesen
Well, in her case, to be fair, she does talk about how she supports the LGBT community.
Oh, good for her!
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's dumb.
dan friesen
It's a bigger issue for other people, but in her case, that's not...
jordan holmes
You can't do both now.
What do you mean?
dan friesen
Be conservative and support gay?
jordan holmes
Yeah, you can't do both now.
If there's a full acceptance, then maybe we can go back.
If there's a full acceptance of the LGBT community, maybe you can go back and say, well, I am a fiscal conservative and also a person who accepts that.
But for right now...
All you are saying is that I am willing to marginalize millions and millions of people.
I am willing to watch them kill themselves so I can get tax breaks.
dan friesen
Yep.
jordan holmes
That's what you're saying.
Later on.
Later on, after all of this, all the bigotry in the world has gone away.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Then we can get back to how conservatism is fine.
dan friesen
So never.
jordan holmes
Exactly!
dan friesen
Jordan, we got a couple more clips, and you got a show tonight, so let's get through these.
This is where shit gets esoteric.
This is a riddle, and it's just...
unidentified
Answer me these questions three, Alex Jones.
dan friesen
I mean, this is where he turns internal and is just...
jordan holmes
Really discovers himself?
dan friesen
I don't know what's going on, but he's struggling.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
And then everyone tries to climb that staircase to heaven.
So they can be over other people.
What the hell is that?
Because anybody that's been down in a valley at night with the stars out and the trees around you and a bonfire knows the valley is the stars.
You're already in the stars.
You're already in the universe.
You're on a planet beautiful and rich and beautiful beyond imagining and down in the valley is the highest point.
There's some poetry for you.
jordan holmes
Let's see.
alex jones
People keep thinking they can go up, up, up, but really all they're doing is going down, down, down.
Does that mean you don't become successful or have wealth?
Wealth is to protect yourself and take care of those you love and to build.
It's not so you can sit there like a peacock.
I can't live in a rich area.
I can't live around those people because on average they're so soulless.
There are some people that are nice.
But you can't live anywhere.
You live in a blue-collar area.
They're all freaked out about who's got more money, who's got whatever.
As if that's some symbol of who's got a bigger soul, who's got more will, who's got more strength.
dan friesen
What are you talking about, Alex?
What was that?
You're in the valley, and you realize the valley is the stars.
That might be part of the Dionysian church, the mystery religion.
jordan holmes
I see a junior high...
A camp.
A junior high summer camp.
Everybody's sitting.
Everybody's sleeping in the dorm.
All of a sudden, one kid wakes up and goes, Guys, do you believe in God?
Do you believe there's a higher power?
And that's when this shit goes down, right?
dan friesen
I don't know if that kid's going to talk about not being able to live in rich neighborhoods.
jordan holmes
I think that's exactly what that kid.
Because it's the one poor kid at the rich summer camp.
That's what's going on.
That is Alex Jones.
Alex Jones is the poor kid.
dan friesen
He got like a waiver to go to Camp Canna Cook.
And he showed up there.
jordan holmes
Camp, fuck the poor.
dan friesen
Yeah.
I mean, I went to a really rich Christian camp.
And I'm not from money.
I grew up poor.
jordan holmes
I worked at a God camp for a month.
dan friesen
Oh, Jesus.
Let's not get into that.
jordan holmes
It was brutal.
dan friesen
That's for another day.
This is fucked up, and it starts out fucked up, and phew, oh boy.
alex jones
If I could slit my throat and pour my will out into humanity and die right now, that made us defeat these people, I would do it.
But here's the secret.
I'm not even that strong.
I have awareness of my will, though, in history, and that's why I have effect on them.
And if the people ever realize this, and the bushfires of liberty ignite, they're going to be...
Charging out of the mist individuals that will be a hundred times more effective than I've been.
Right now, I'm still waiting for them.
But I know it's coming.
And so the globalists should know this.
Trump is only the first level of this event.
It's going to get bigger.
It's going to get quicker.
It's going to get stronger.
We are the humans that built all this.
The elite believe because we built this, they're God, and they're going to cut us off.
You will then see what humans really do under stress.
Once we have a platform to build on.
You can't just manifest with your mind magically in a cave 10,000 years ago.
You could envision, though, and those dreams became what we have now.
We're now on a launch deck.
jordan holmes
Looks like he knows the secret.
alex jones
That's unlimited.
And the elites know that, and they're so jealous.
They're so angry.
They're so upset.
They don't know what to do because they're sitting around not even knowing how to use what they've got because they didn't develop it.
They're falling.
Even further than we are.
And that's why everything they use, we develop, turns into some nightmare because we've got bad people in control of those systems.
unidentified
This is why he had to cut off Steve Pechenich.
dan friesen
This is what he needed to fill his fucking time with.
jordan holmes
I showed you on my notes.
I have just written in the largest possible letters.
Please go to therapy.
This is a therapy session.
dan friesen
Alex, you need analysis.
jordan holmes
This is not good.
He is considering suicide right now.
That's really what he's doing.
dan friesen
I mean, it's sort of an artful expression of it, at least.
It is like, if I could give of my life essence to create the energy that's needed to stop the globalists, my sworn enemy, then I would do that.
That's not really a threat of suicide.
But it is violent language right after talking about murdering a dog.
jordan holmes
I swear to God, this is Emily Dickinson.
He is Emily Dickinson-ing right now.
dan friesen
You think so?
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
This is crazy.
dan friesen
I mean, the part about, like, this is only going to get worse and it's going to keep happening faster and faster.
I agree with him on that.
jordan holmes
That's not Emily Dickinson, but...
dan friesen
No, but I agree with him on that in terms of the propaganda and the way the internet is radicalizing people and stuff like that.
jordan holmes
You mean what he's doing?
dan friesen
Yeah, it's only going to get worse.
jordan holmes
What he's doing is only going to get more insidious.
dan friesen
But that's what he's saying.
He's threatening the globalists that that's what's going to happen.
He just doesn't realize that he is the problem.
It's not this make-believe group of globalists.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I mean, everybody thinks they're the hero of their own story.
dan friesen
I don't.
I think I'm a piece of shit.
jordan holmes
Fair enough.
dan friesen
Yeah, I think I'm a side character in my own story.
This story is about...
I don't even know what it's about.
My cat, maybe?
I don't know.
jordan holmes
This is a story about you growing up in South Philly, right?
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
I don't know the rest of the words.
I never watched Fresh Prince.
jordan holmes
Fresh Prince.
dan friesen
Anyway, this next and last clip is sort of where he ends off before handing the baton to the fourth-hour host.
And he's back.
jordan holmes
D-Nights.
dan friesen
I think it's David Knight.
I'm not sure.
I can't remember.
Oh, no.
On Thursday, it was our boy Batman.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
John Rappaport.
Just talking more about vaccines being bad.
unidentified
Great.
dan friesen
He is the worst.
jordan holmes
He is the worst.
dan friesen
He was talking about how the NIH is getting unfunded.
He's like, of course it is.
Great.
unidentified
Ugh.
dan friesen
Fuck you.
jordan holmes
I hate everybody.
dan friesen
Fuck you, Rappaport.
jordan holmes
Yeah, no kidding.
dan friesen
But anyway.
jordan holmes
Go back to your fucking bushes, Batman.
dan friesen
Also, picture is still not hung up.
I can confirm that.
I was thrilled to see that picture still on the ground.
jordan holmes
What do we need to do?
dan friesen
I think we could find him on Twitter.
jordan holmes
I think we could find him on Twitter, right?
dan friesen
I'm going to find him on Twitter.
jordan holmes
He doesn't have Twitter.
dan friesen
I bet he does.
I'll find him.
I'll tweet at him and we'll let you know next week.
jordan holmes
We need that picture.
That is now my only goal.
Eventually, if we get beyond the picture, that's fine.
dan friesen
I want that picture hung up.
People in productivity circles like to talk about having actionable goals.
unidentified
We can't solve the Alex Jones problem.
jordan holmes
We can't get that picture fucking hung up.
dan friesen
We can't sit around and say, we want to have a great podcast.
That's not an actionable goal.
What you can say is, I'm going to tweet at John Rappaport and ask him why he doesn't hang up my picture.
So I will do that.
Anyway, let's get to this last clip.
This is, again, he's now fallen back to Nunez, but it still has some of this esoteric language in it, and boy, he's wrong.
alex jones
And now Nunez transcends from the realm of the normal man into the arena of the real man.
jordan holmes
Wow.
This is fucking bananas.
alex jones
And that's the arena that Donald Trump and many others are in.
And that's the arena that other people need to aspire to be part of.
Because when men start trying to be men again and actually stand up for what's good and honorable...
jordan holmes
And women start trying to be men again.
unidentified
No.
alex jones
Then we'll have a civilization.
dan friesen
Only when men start acting like real men again will we have a civilization.
jordan holmes
I feel like historically that's not how it works.
Generally when men start trying to be real men again, they tear down civilizations.
dan friesen
Civilizations fall.
jordan holmes
Yeah, isn't that how that works?
Pretty sure Rome happened.
dan friesen
Be that as it may, I mean it's good that that's where we're going to jump off because that's a perfect encapsulation of a lot of Alex's life philosophies.
jordan holmes
That really is, yeah.
dan friesen
You must be real men.
jordan holmes
Dude!
Dudes!
Let's all be dudes, bro!
dan friesen
His masculinity is so threatened by this hypothetical fake group of globalists, and he has to fight back against it.
I don't know what's going on in Alex Jones' world, but you're right, he needs to get therapy.
jordan holmes
He needs to get therapy.
dan friesen
There's so much going on in the world.
jordan holmes
You nailed this.
This was such a strange up and down of...
His emotional state.
Where he's going in life.
Like, this is crazy.
dan friesen
The interview falling apart and him turning really dark and fucked up at the end.
Oh, yeah.
It's connected.
jordan holmes
Oh, absolutely.
dan friesen
You're watching a psychodrama.
jordan holmes
No, there's no doubt those two are connected.
dan friesen
It is a psychodrama in radio show form.
At least this episode.
And it's fascinating.
But when I was saying there's so much going on...
jordan holmes
Yeah, right now there's a Prairie Home Companion, and then there's InfoWars in the two greatest what-the-fuck-is-happening shows right now.
dan friesen
Yeah.
In terms of InfoWars, there's so much going on.
It's insane.
It's never been like this.
jordan holmes
No, this is crazy.
dan friesen
They're part of an investigation into Russian espionage.
They're apologizing for Pizzagate.
They lost their funding.
It's crazy.
I read unsubstantiated reports that they just had to fire some people.
jordan holmes
Really?
dan friesen
I don't know if that's true or not, but it seems to fit the narrative.
unidentified
I mean, it does.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that is kind of what would make sense.
dan friesen
There's talk that within the next week, they could be shuttering business.
jordan holmes
No!
dan friesen
I don't think that that's the case.
jordan holmes
That's not possible.
dan friesen
That's wild internet speculation.
But with all of the chaos that's going on, things are going to get so exciting.
jordan holmes
Alex Jones would, and I'm being 100% serious right now, Alex Jones would kill himself if InfoWars ended.
dan friesen
I'm being 100% serious, and I'm quoting Dido here, because I love Dido.
jordan holmes
Oh my god, we learned so much about you.
dan friesen
He would go down with the ship.
jordan holmes
Yeah, absolutely.
dan friesen
He won't put his hands up in surrender.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
There will be no white flag above his door.
jordan holmes
Oh, no, no, no.
Even if, well...
dan friesen
The next line of that song is, I'm in love and always will be.
It doesn't quite match up, but the other three lines work.
jordan holmes
I will say that, in my experience, he's a lot like a bird who will never fly away.
Or who only flies away.
I know.
dan friesen
He doesn't know where his home is.
unidentified
I don't...
jordan holmes
You know what?
I'm wrong.
Here's more what I would say.
Whether or not Infowars itself, as we know it, dies, he will do a four-hour YouTube video every day.
dan friesen
He might just have to go back to his roots, as they say.
jordan holmes
In his home, he will set up an iPhone, and he will do a YouTube show.
dan friesen
I can't imagine how expensive it is for him to do what he does now.
But he could do the exact same thing.
jordan holmes
Pretty much.
dan friesen
For what we could pay.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Which is minimal.
jordan holmes
He might just do a podcast.
If InfoWars ends, he might do a podcast.
And right now, I am putting out the call, Alex Jones.
dan friesen
You could join us.
jordan holmes
When InfoWars ends, come on our podcast.
dan friesen
Join the Knowledge Fight Network.
jordan holmes
Join the Knowledge Fight Network.
dan friesen
Oh, also, speaking of which, we gotta get out of here.
But, one piece of big news.
You know how Alex has been talking about wanting to create more programming?
jordan holmes
Uh-huh.
dan friesen
There is a new program.
jordan holmes
Oh, no!
Is it a music show?
dan friesen
Nope.
unidentified
Ah, fuck.
dan friesen
K-Blaze is still out in the cold.
jordan holmes
Fuck.
dan friesen
But it is the Rob and Owen show.
It's Rob Dew and Owen Schroyer co-hosting a show.
jordan holmes
Wow.
That sounds horrific.
dan friesen
It's one of the most unlistenable things I've ever heard.
jordan holmes
That sounds truly horrific.
dan friesen
I listened to one episode and it was...
They have no chemistry.
jordan holmes
Of course not.
dan friesen
Owen Schroer seems to not want to be there.
Rob Dew is terrible on the camera.
It's oof.
If that's your first volley of new programming, buddy.
jordan holmes
Hire us.
dan friesen
You've got to get it together.
Anyway.
jordan holmes
We've got a rapport.
dan friesen
If you want to hire us, Alex, you can find us at knowledgefight.com.
jordan holmes
Oh, shit!
You can also follow us on at knowledge underscore fight.
dan friesen
Correct.
And at knowledgefight.com, I want to give a little plug to this.
We have a living biography of Alex Jones in progress.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
We're putting up little pieces of his personal life.
That sounds worse than this.
jordan holmes
We are stealing little pieces of his personal life and putting it on the internet.
dan friesen
We're taking clips of him talking about his childhood and his life and creating a biography in real time.
Also...
There's a lot of content over there.
jordan holmes
Go check it out.
And thanks to at FutureSlock for giving us a little bit of a shout-out on the AV Club.
dan friesen
That was pretty cool.
That is very nice.
Also, here we go.
Let's give a little shout-out to underscore OZ underscore underscore underscore who may or may not be listening to this now.
jordan holmes
That is a solid Twitter handle right there.
dan friesen
I can't tell if you were making fun of us on Twitter or not, but...
jordan holmes
Feel free to continue.
dan friesen
You said you were going to follow us on...
iTunes!
If you have, thank you very much.
If not, go suck a lemon.
Old school.
jordan holmes
You are very defensive.
I don't know, man.
dan friesen
I have a very complicated relationship with having fans.
Also, if you want to email us, you can reach us at knowledgefight at gmail.com.
jordan holmes
You got it!
Thank you guys so much for listening.
dan friesen
We'll see you soon for that episode that I've built up really, really hard.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it's going to be a huge disappointment.
But in the meantime, let me ask you, Dan, what are we?
dan friesen
Just, I don't know, like a policy walk?
jordan holmes
We're a couple of policy walks.
alex jones
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
unidentified
Hello, Alex.
I'm a first-time caller.
I'm a huge fan.
I love your work.
