#25: Dennis Montgomery Investigation

Today's episode is a little bit different. Today, Dan tells Jordan about the findings of his investigation into a narrative that Alex pitched through the entire week of March 20-24, and demonstrates pretty well that Alex is pretty full of shit. The narrative has to do with alleged proof that the NSA was spying on Trump (and many others), but upon closer examination, the bizarre story weaves into the actions of a racist Arizona sheriff, a gambling addict with a deep history of fraud, and a completely insane lawyer.

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
We are back for yet another episode where we sit down and drink a little bit of wine.
And discuss what's going on in the wacky, wacky world of Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Is there a twist to that?
dan friesen
There is.
There's a Chubby Checker featuring the Fat Boys level twist.
jordan holmes
Alright, we're done.
unidentified
It's over.
dan friesen
I've already used Chubby Checker once as a reference, but I realized he did the twist with the Fat Boys later.
jordan holmes
It's too late for us.
dan friesen
Alright.
The twist is that I watched tons of Infowars, and Alex Jones in particular.
jordan holmes
And I do not watch any.
dan friesen
Not at all.
Not an iota, except I did just trick you into watching.
jordan holmes
You tried.
You tried to get me to watch some, and then David Knight appeared like a fucking demon from beneath the boring sixth level of hell.
dan friesen
Like the world's most boring hobo coming on TV.
jordan holmes
I did find out he's got quite a bit of gray in his beard.
I didn't realize that.
dan friesen
Oh, tons.
Yeah.
unidentified
We're recording this on Sunday, and we wanted to check in because Alex had promoted online that he's about to drop a huge Pizzagate bombshell.
dan friesen
And so we wanted to check in on what that was.
That's how I tricked you into watching.
So far at press time, no bombshell.
We probably won't.
Nope, not at all.
I'm still standing by my former theory that I espoused on the last podcast that is he got threatened with a lawsuit.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
I think we can stick with that one.
dan friesen
I'm not sure that anything that he says today could shake my belief in that.
jordan holmes
No, he was definitely at least served some sort of papers.
Maybe a subpoena to, you know, give shit.
dan friesen
Don't destroy any of your evidence.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
Something like that.
dan friesen
He was shook.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But anyway.
jordan holmes
Almost as much as when he...
Lost all of his money.
dan friesen
He was way more shook.
jordan holmes
He was very shook.
dan friesen
So today, what we're going to do is we're going to go over...
You know, this is going to be a special expose episode.
jordan holmes
Oh boy.
dan friesen
Generally, what we do is I take a day in the life of Alex Jones and I play the clips and we discuss where he's incredibly wrong about everything.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Today, what we're going to be doing is breaking down the entirety of last week.
jordan holmes
This is unprecedented.
dan friesen
And a busted-ass narrative that Alex is promoting.
And the results of my incredibly deep research into why Alex Jones, I feel like he has to know that he's just being a complete liar.
He has to know.
jordan holmes
I have gotten about 30 texts from you over this past week about how intense your research is, and I just wonder.
unidentified
I've been reading court documents.
dan friesen
Why?
jordan holmes
What is wrong with you?
dan friesen
Judges' decisions.
jordan holmes
I want you to be okay.
This is eventually just going to turn into me wishing well on you.
dan friesen
No, but see, the thing is, I'm thrilled.
jordan holmes
I know!
That's one of the problems!
dan friesen
I had an amazingly great time reading up on all this stuff.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
I mean, some of the stuff that I found is legitimately horrifying.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Because there's individuals that we're going to discuss, and you're probably aware of maybe one or two of them.
jordan holmes
Jesus.
dan friesen
Sure, he's going to come in the mix.
jordan holmes
Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
dan friesen
As he keeps being referred to on Infowars, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
jordan holmes
Really?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Oh boy.
dan friesen
I think it's an accident, but I'm not sure.
jordan holmes
It could be a play on his cousin?
The one that he married?
unidentified
Cousin wife?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Possibly.
But look, there's a guy, at least one, who's going to come up who, we all know who he is, we've heard of him before, but the amount of research that I did really highlighted how much worse of a person he is.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
So that was not fun.
Reading some of the stories about him.
jordan holmes
Who?
dan friesen
We're going to get to it.
jordan holmes
Why are you teasing that?
dan friesen
Because, look, it's...
jordan holmes
Now all I can think about is who it might be.
And my first thought is OJ for some reason, and I don't think that's right.
dan friesen
No, we watched that documentary, we know how bad a guy he is.
jordan holmes
He's not a good man.
dan friesen
I know I'm doing too much teasing, but we have to start out our episodes as we try to do each time with an out-of-context drop that has nothing to do with what we're going to be talking about from Alex.
alex jones
Gallup is back to fake polls.
They have key demographics, key phone numbers they can call, or they can produce any numbers they want.
Does anybody believe that Trump has fallen from 56 down to 37 in a national poll?
No.
dan friesen
Yep.
Anyway.
jordan holmes
Does anybody believe it?
alex jones
A lot of people.
jordan holmes
Is that a hypothetical question?
dan friesen
Maybe over 50% of the population believes that.
Yeah.
All right.
So anyway, here we go.
Let's get to it.
Let's get down to business.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
Because this is going to be intense.
jordan holmes
All right.
Do you want to sing Let's Get Down to Business from the Mulan soundtrack?
dan friesen
I'd rather do This Is How We Do It.
unidentified
It's Friday night.
jordan holmes
I would really rather you didn't do that.
dan friesen
I feel all right.
The party's up on the west side.
jordan holmes
You know what?
Eventually, I will make a man out of you.
dan friesen
Just because I love pink.
Oh, also Carly Rae Jepsen.
I don't know if we've been over that one.
Pink, Lana Del Rey, Carly Rae Jepsen, and Dido.
That's the, uh, so far.
That's my Mount Rushmore at this point.
jordan holmes
That's a bad Mount Rushmore.
dan friesen
Fuck you.
jordan holmes
Okay, okay, that's fine.
dan friesen
So, as I said, throughout the week, he's pitching this entire narrative.
jordan holmes
Enya, are we on Enya?
Are we good with her?
dan friesen
Case-to-case basis.
Song by song.
I like the Orinoco flow.
Or that song from Sweet November, Only Time?
jordan holmes
You already know more about Enya than any human being should.
dan friesen
You can say where the road goes.
Listen, we've got to get down to business.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So here is Alex on Monday's show sort of giving an introduction to the thesis of what we're going to be talking about today.
jordan holmes
Okay.
unidentified
You're listening to The Alex Jones Show.
alex jones
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us on this Monday, March 20th, 2017.
If you go to DrudgeReport.com, you can see the headline right in the middle column.
It's been there since yesterday afternoon.
NSA documents prove surveillance of Trump and his family.
Targets of NSA's Project Dragnet, that's an admitted illegal project, and now we've gotten basically the indexes of it, or our sources have.
It's Sheriff Joe Arpaio's cold case.
Posse's had this for two years.
He, of course, is now out of office as of last year.
Voted out of office.
And so that information has now been put out via Infowars.com.
Because the feds, obviously under Obama, did nothing.
Well, there's a new sheriff in town in D.C. Not Joe Arpaio.
jordan holmes
He's no longer in town.
alex jones
Trump talked last week about it.
jordan holmes
He's gone.
alex jones
Soon you'll see evidence of NSA spying.
And this goes back, as far as Obama's concerned, eight years.
Eight years.
But isn't it interesting?
jordan holmes
How far does it go back where Obama's not concerned?
alex jones
The biggest news site in the world, hands down, second largest website in the world, period, after MSN.
Top linked in the corner last night.
Then it moved down this morning to the middle column, NSA documents, surveillance on Trump family more, Project Dragnet.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Was that a complete sentence?
dan friesen
No, because when he's saying more, that's that click here for more.
He's reading the link.
And then Project Dragnet is a second link.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
So he doesn't even know what he's reading on the page.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
It's insane.
If we keep listening, he does it again.
jordan holmes
His rhythm of that is bananas.
dan friesen
Trump surveilled more Project Dragnet.
jordan holmes
Like Christopher Walken is doing the show.
dan friesen
Yeah, again, it is indicative of his lack of preparation.
He doesn't know what he's actually about to talk about at all.
It's infuriating.
It drives me incredibly insane.
This clip isn't done.
There's more.
jordan holmes
Oh, good.
dan friesen
But before we get to it, I will say what we have already is the introduction of this theme.
It's that there is an NSA-CIA whistleblower who has come out who has a ton of documents that proves that Donald Trump is being surveilled.
And as Alex steamrolls along with this, we will learn...
That not only is Donald Trump being surveilled and has been for years back when he was just a businessman.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Not only that, Alex Jones, Michael Savage, other people's families.
jordan holmes
Just other people's families?
dan friesen
Tons of folks.
jordan holmes
Just tons of folks?
dan friesen
Yeah, being surveilled.
jordan holmes
Was his source Edward Noden?
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
Although Snowden does get cucked out a little bit in this episode.
jordan holmes
How do you cuck out Snowden?
He's a badass.
dan friesen
Because he's so minor compared to what this whistleblower is bringing out.
jordan holmes
All right, all right.
dan friesen
And I assure you, we're going to dig into every single element of this.
jordan holmes
Oh, boy.
dan friesen
And I will...
jordan holmes
This is going to get deep.
dan friesen
If in the next two and a half to three hours, we don't end up with everyone who hears this realizing that this is nothing, I will commit Harry Carey.
No, I won't.
jordan holmes
Nope, that's a promise.
dan friesen
Yeah, that's a verbal contract.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
Let's get back to the clip before I make worse offers.
jordan holmes
Donate to Dan's Patreon.
dan friesen
I need to buy a sword!
jordan holmes
Otherwise, he won't be able to commit Harry Carey.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's the only way to go about things honorably.
alex jones
You'd think MSM would at least come out and say it wasn't true, kind of like when we got the MIAC reports from the state police and then from federal marshals, another copy from a different division, because they were all different variants, depending on who they were sent to.
And for a week, the media ignored it.
Then they said it was fake.
Then they said, okay, it's real.
Well, of course it was real.
I didn't just get it from my sources and believe it.
I also called the phone numbers on there.
And the FBI's like, oh, you're not supposed to have that.
Where are you?
And then I had little arguments about it.
I said, it's already out.
I already have it.
It's ready to be published, and I'm publishing it right now.
So there you go.
NSA documents, surveillance on Trump family, more Project Dragnet.
jordan holmes
Project Dragnet!
dan friesen
Again, that's him reading the links and not figuring out how a sentence works.
jordan holmes
Tom Hanks and Dan Aykroyd?
Project Dragnet?
dan friesen
Is that their theme song?
I don't remember.
jordan holmes
I have no idea.
dan friesen
Just the facts, ma 'am.
jordan holmes
Yes, there we go.
dan friesen
Wasn't there to make the movie with The Rock and Steve Carell?
Is that right?
I don't know.
jordan holmes
They did not do that.
dan friesen
I know they made a Dragnet movie.
jordan holmes
Yeah, with Tom Hanks and Dan Aykroyd.
dan friesen
No, that was the old one.
They made a new one with Steve Carell.
unidentified
What?
dan friesen
I don't think The Rock was in it.
I think I'm conflating things.
jordan holmes
I don't think you know what it was.
dan friesen
This is so irrelevant to the point.
jordan holmes
What is?
dan friesen
So, on Sunday of last week...
InfoWars published what they believed, or what they are claiming, is a database of phone numbers and addresses.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And Alex has said, these were my old phone numbers.
This is correct.
These are the phone numbers that I have for Donald Trump.
These are real phone numbers.
But as we know...
He doesn't know Donald Trump's phone number.
jordan holmes
No, every time he gets a call, he's like, wait, I think this is the right area code for the president.
dan friesen
He keeps saying that.
So his claim that he has multiple phone numbers for Trump, it falls flat for us.
jordan holmes
Well, but he does have Trump's in different area codes, right?
Is that what we're saying right there?
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
Rest in peace, Nate Dogg.
But he has these things that he published with some redacted parts, you know, like you don't want to...
jordan holmes
Fake redacted parts?
dan friesen
Well, no, but even if you do have this information that you've got, you don't want to dox tons of people.
So they clipped off parts of phone numbers and what have you.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
They claimed that it was a part of a massive index of people who were being spied on, and this is from this whistleblower's information.
Now, the problem that we have with that is that that is completely unprovable, and all of this information could have been gotten by someone who has...
The minimal amount of hacking skills and is willing to falsify documents.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So keep that in mind as we go further.
jordan holmes
I am struggling to keep it in mind right now.
dan friesen
Anything that Alex has posted does not have to come, like, every piece of evidence that he's posted on the website does not have to come from, like, an NSA source or a CIA source.
It's all very easily accessible information.
Like, a lot of the information is the address of Mar-a-Lago.
I could Google that.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Did he just print out a part of the phone book?
dan friesen
I don't think he did.
I think someone else did and sent it to him as evidence of a leak.
jordan holmes
Okay.
So it's not the white papers.
It's the white pages.
That's what we're talking about right now.
unidentified
Exactly.
Nailed it.
dan friesen
Nailed it.
jordan holmes
See, I can soundbite.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
You think I can't soundbite?
dan friesen
I think you can soundbite, baby.
jordan holmes
I can soundbite all day.
dan friesen
So this is basically the construction of what is going on.
jordan holmes
Right.
We're building the foundation of a lie about spies.
dan friesen
A spy lie.
jordan holmes
A spy lie.
dan friesen
And Alex is using whatever information that he got as evidence that Trump has been being spied on.
He's using it as evidence that he was right all along.
jordan holmes
Which is none.
dan friesen
Right.
So, on Monday, he has an interview with a guy named Mike Zullo.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
And Mike Zullo is a former detective.
Yes.
jordan holmes
So he's come back for one last job.
Right.
Is he two or three days away from retirement?
Please give me something.
dan friesen
He's certainly passed.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
He's currently a used car dealer, as far as I can tell.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
That's what I found in my slight bits of research.
jordan holmes
Sideways move.
dan friesen
I don't care too much about Mike Zullo, necessarily.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
What I do care about more is that he is an employee and former, well, former employee, because he's not in work anymore, of Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
jordan holmes
Great.
dan friesen
He was a member of his cold case posse.
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
dan friesen
And now I think it is time that we start to deal a tiny bit with Joe Arpaio.
jordan holmes
That racist, garbage pile of human fuckface.
That guy?
That guy?
dan friesen
It's who I was talking about earlier when I said, when you look at him, he's way worse than even what you just said.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
I did not know if you could get worse than everything I know about him.
dan friesen
So we're going to get to it, and Mike Zulo is going to make the argument...
jordan holmes
That's like finding out the devil is also Alex Jones.
Like, it just doesn't get much worse.
You think the devil can't go lower, but there we go.
dan friesen
The devil also, like, you know, cheats at cards or something like that.
God damn it, man.
Come on.
jordan holmes
In the Old West, though, so you always shoot him.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
So, we'll get to Zulo's point, which is basically that when Joe Arpaio was being tried for contempt of court for not making the necessary changes that a judge insisted that he make based on findings that they had of racial discrimination in the Maricopa County...
Police force.
jordan holmes
Right.
The part where he didn't follow the law on one occasion.
dan friesen
Twice.
jordan holmes
And then also didn't follow the law telling him to follow the law.
dan friesen
There were two times that he was brought into court in 2008 and 2010 and told, you need to make these changes.
This is a severe problem.
And then he didn't.
And he was held in contempt of court.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Instead of arrested and had his left leg cut off as what should have happened.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
In this court case...
jordan holmes
I don't want to, like he's right-legged, so I don't want to remove his good leg.
Sure, sure.
His dominant leg.
dan friesen
He needs to be able to kick.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
So Mike Zulo is going to make the argument as we go along that he was being surveilled upon and wiretapped during that investigation, and we'll deal with that in a moment.
But what I want to deal with first is I want to give an accurate picture of who Sheriff Joe Arpaio is.
jordan holmes
Let's get down to it.
dan friesen
I have...
Pages.
jordan holmes
Oh boy.
dan friesen
Of instances where any single one of these is disqualifying.
So get ready.
jordan holmes
Does he say grab him by the pussy a bunch?
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
Because we know that's only locker room talking.
dan friesen
So he's the sheriff of Maricopa County in Arizona.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
In 1993, Joe Arpaio set up a tent city.
To house his inmates outside, he did not believe that they deserved to be inside.
jordan holmes
Great.
dan friesen
Arpaio literally described the tent city as a, quote, concentration camp.
jordan holmes
That's good.
dan friesen
Bad news.
jordan holmes
I like his willingness to embrace his monstrosity.
Like, he didn't even bother to call it something different.
He's like, if I could burn you.
dan friesen
I would.
jordan holmes
I would totally do that.
But the law or something says I can't.
dan friesen
Speaking of burning these inmates...
jordan holmes
Please don't say any more after that.
dan friesen
On July 2nd, 2011, when temperatures in Phoenix hit 118 degrees Fahrenheit, Arpaio measured the temperature inside tent city tents as 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Some inmates complained that their fans near their beds were not working and that their shoes were melting from the heat.
Jesus.
unidentified
During the summer of 2003, when outside temperatures exceeded 110 degrees Fahrenheit, Arpaio said to complaining inmates, it's 120 degrees in Iraq and the soldiers are living in tents and they didn't commit any crimes, so shut your mouths.
He's not a human being, is he?
dan friesen
Nope.
jordan holmes
He's not.
dan friesen
In 1997...
jordan holmes
How do you do that?
How do you not have any empathy for another human being?
dan friesen
In 1997, Amnesty International said Arpaio's Tent City Jail is not a, quote, adequate or humane alternative to housing inmates in suitable jail facilities.
jordan holmes
People get mad when you leave a dog in a fucking car, and this dude is literally burning people alive in the desert sun.
dan friesen
Tent City is criticized by groups contending that there are violations of human and Constitutional rights implicit in its formation.
jordan holmes
All the rights!
It's a war crime!
dan friesen
Yep.
unidentified
You wouldn't do that at fucking Guantanamo Bay!
dan friesen
Well, his argument is that they're criminals, and who cares?
jordan holmes
That's a bad argument!
dan friesen
Fuck them, they committed crimes.
jordan holmes
No, that's a really bad argument!
dan friesen
Sure.
One of Arpaio's public relations actions was the requirement that inmates wear pink underwear in order to prevent its theft by the released inmates, which is a stupid rationale.
jordan holmes
Yeah, but I mean, that's the most harmless thing I've ever heard anybody do.
dan friesen
He claims that he has saved the county $70,000 in the first year of this rule was in effect.
That's a lot of fucking underwear.
That's lies.
jordan holmes
Pink underwear costs 50 cents more in my experience.
dan friesen
Arpaio subsequently started to sell customized pink boxers with the Maricopa County Sheriff's logo and Go Joe on them as a fundraiser for Sheriff's Posse Association.
jordan holmes
What?
dan friesen
Despite allegations of misuse of funds received from these sales, Arpaio declined to provide an accounting for the money.
So he basically used it as a promotional tool, and there's no evidence also that he saved that $70,000 at all.
jordan holmes
So, we're ending with his financial crimes.
dan friesen
We're not even ending.
jordan holmes
What?
dan friesen
We're not even close.
unidentified
No!
dan friesen
In 2010, Arpaio put together an armed illegal immigration posse to help enforce immigration laws.
jordan holmes
Why do you keep saying posse?
Posse's bad.
dan friesen
It's real bad.
You know what?
It gets worse.
This posse included...
Actors Steven Seagal and Lou Ferrigno.
jordan holmes
No, that's better.
I am way more comfortable with that posse now.
dan friesen
They have guns.
jordan holmes
One, I know that that posse is immune to ninjas.
That's the first thing we know about that posse.
No ninjas.
And then if anybody gets really out of control, they've got somebody to fall back on.
He's a big green guy.
dan friesen
I don't know if you've ever met him.
jordan holmes
You would not.
dan friesen
You would not like me if you're illegal.
jordan holmes
Especially not if you're...
Oh, God.
Joe Arpaio's a monster.
dan friesen
We're not even close to the tip of the iceberg.
The ACLU has alleged that, quote, Arpaio routinely abused pre-trial detainees at Maricopa County Jail by feeding them moldy bread, rotten fruit, and other contaminated food.
housing them in cells so hot as to endanger their health denying them care for serious medical and mental health needs and keeping them packed as tightly as sardines and holding cells for days at a time during indignation Is this the fucking medieval ages?
jordan holmes
What is fucking happening?
dan friesen
That's before they were charged.
jordan holmes
That's before they were charged with a fucking crime.
dan friesen
This is pre-trial detainees.
jordan holmes
That's not good.
dan friesen
That's insane.
jordan holmes
You should probably treat those people...
unidentified
No, you should treat human beings like human beings.
dan friesen
A federal judge named Neil Wake ruled in 2008 and 2010 that the county jails violated human and constitutional rights of the inmates.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
That's a very simple ruling.
That should have taken like 20 seconds.
dan friesen
Under Arpaio, the Maricopa County jails have lost accreditation multiple times.
In September 2008, the National Committee on Correctional Health Care terminated the accreditation of Maricopa County Sheriff's Office jails for failure to maintain compliance with national standards and providing false information about such compliance.
jordan holmes
What does that mean?
dan friesen
They lied.
What do you mean?
jordan holmes
No, I mean lost accreditation.
Does that mean people aren't allowed to be in there anymore?
dan friesen
No, just that they're not supported by these medical associations that are in charge of keeping...
jordan holmes
So he's still allowed to treat people inhumanely.
They just say, I think that's bad.
dan friesen
Basically, yeah.
But it's a big deal.
jordan holmes
They're fucking amazing.
dan friesen
But it's a big deal.
jordan holmes
I love their life-saving abilities here.
dan friesen
They have no enforcement capabilities, but they do have...
Me.
jordan holmes
How is it that Alex Jones can get a fuckface to go to a goddamn pizza restaurant, but we can't get human beings to save other human beings' lives that are being burned alive?
dan friesen
In October 2008...
jordan holmes
Liberals are pussies, that's why.
dan friesen
In October 2008, a U.S. District Court judge ruled that grossly inadequate conditions at the Maricopa County Jail, overseen by Arpaio, are unconstitutional and jeopardize the health and safety of prisoners.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I hate to keep hammering on that, but these are different cases also.
Arpaio has said that his jails are meant as places of punishment, and the inhabitants are criminals, although, in fact, most inmates have not been convicted of a crime and are awaiting trial.
Fuck.
jordan holmes
Fuck.
unidentified
What the fuck?
dan friesen
It gets worse.
jordan holmes
Where do these people fucking come from?
dan friesen
It gets worse.
jordan holmes
Who the fuck?
dan friesen
It gets worse.
jordan holmes
At least Ted Bundy was honest about his monstrosity.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Like, I would much rather...
Like, he's a sociopath that's still allowed to roam the streets.
Like, he just figured out how to fucking turn it into a money...
Like, he turned being Ted Bundy into a job.
That's what he did.
dan friesen
And he was re-elected like four times.
jordan holmes
Well, Arizona's a fucking garbage hole filled with old white people.
dan friesen
That's fair.
Here's another one for you.
Under Arpaio, the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office may have improperly cleared or reported as solved as many as 75% of cases without arrest or proper investigation.
How's that grab you?
During a three-year period ending in 2007, more than 400 sex crimes reported to Arpaio's office were inadequately investigated or not investigated at all.
While providing police services for El Mirage, Arizona, the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office under Arpaio failed to follow through on at least 32 reported child molestations.
jordan holmes
Jesus fuck, why?
dan friesen
Even though the suspects were known in all but six cases.
Here's why.
Many of the children who were victims were illegal immigrants.
jordan holmes
Fuck!
dan friesen
He doesn't care.
jordan holmes
How do you not care about that?
I don't know.
Like, even...
unidentified
Fuck!
dan friesen
In 1999, undercover Maricopa County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested James Saville, then 18 years old, and charged him with plotting to kill Arpaio with a pipe bomb.
A local television station had been tipped off to the arrest by the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office and broadcast footage of the arrest that evening.
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office held a news conference shortly after the arrest, and Arpaio appeared in interviews on a local television station saying, quote, If they think they're going to scare me away with bombs and everything else, it's not going to bother me.
After spending four years in jail awaiting trial, Seville was abducted.
jordan holmes
Four years awaiting trial!
dan friesen
Yep.
He was about to sign a plea deal that would have sent him to prison for 20 years.
Although he maintained his innocence, he was initially unwilling to take a chance on being sentenced to even longer than that he had been convicted, if he were convicted.
However, the former head of undercover investigations for the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office called Seville's legal team with a bombshell.
Based on his review of the case, he felt that Seville had been entrapped.
Although entrapment is all but impossible to prove in most jurisdictions, Seville's attorneys eventually discovered that the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office detectives had bought the What?
then convinced Seville to build it, even though he was not predisposed to commit such a crime.
On July 9th, 2003...
Maricopa County's Superior Court jury acquitted Seville, finding that the bomb plot was an elaborate publicity stunt to boost Arpaio's re-election bid.
Are you fucking serious?
He did the Nixon?
In 2004, Seville argued Arpaio and the Maricopa County...
He sued Arpaio in Maricopa County for wrongful arrest and entrapment, seeking $10 million in damages.
jordan holmes
He deserves more, and Joe Arpaio should have been hit with a fucking pipe bomb.
dan friesen
In 2008, the suit was settled with Maricopa County paying Seville $1.6 million.
So, a little bit less than the $10 million he should have gotten.
jordan holmes
He should have gotten fucking a billion dollars.
So, I am, like, this is the hardest thing.
I am against the death penalty.
But Joe Arpaio should be fucking killed.
He should be dead.
There's only one reason for the death penalty.
It's for fucking monsters like him.
dan friesen
He's abused the public trust to such a deep extent.
jordan holmes
He's abused human beings.
He should be fucking...
There's no other solution for that guy.
dan friesen
We're not done.
jordan holmes
No!
He's already dead.
dan friesen
This is the producer.
jordan holmes
He's already in my brain.
dan friesen
It gets even worse.
jordan holmes
It can't!
dan friesen
The Justice Department accused Arpaio of engaging in, quote, unconstitutional policing by unfairly targeting Latinos for detention and arrest and retaliating against critics.
In the report, a Justice Department concluded that Arpaio oversaw, quote, the worst pattern of racial profiling in U.S. history.
In 2015?
jordan holmes
That's fucking hard to do!
After all our genocides, that's a tough one.
If you get labeled with that, wow!
dan friesen
In 2015, Arpaio was charged with contempt of court for failing to implement a court's required changes to his police force regarding rampant racial profiling.
He was also found to have destroyed evidence in the case.
jordan holmes
Yeah, of fucking course he did!
dan friesen
He's also publicly promoted the Obama birther hoax repeatedly.
Up to December of last year, 2016, he was, quote, investigating the birth certificate, and he erroneously claimed he found nine points of forgery in Obama's birth certificate.
So, alright.
jordan holmes
I was gonna take notes, but then I just started slitting my fucking wrists.
dan friesen
In 2008, when Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon called for a federal investigation into Arpaio's immigration enforcement tactics, Arpaio's office responded by demanding the mayor's emails and phone logs.
Arpaio also had his critic, Maricopa County Supervisor Don Stapley, a Republican, arrested on suspicion of failing to properly disclose business interests.
Stapley agreed to a $3.5 million settlement in his lawsuit against Arpaio, Thomas, and the county for false arrest.
So he's tried to jail his critics multiple times and been sued for it and lost.
He's cost the county so many millions of dollars.
Because of these illegal tactics that he's undergone.
jordan holmes
And he was re-elected four times.
dan friesen
And they tried to have a runoff election twice.
Drop the mic there.
It failed both times.
Really?
Which is crazy.
unidentified
Really?
dan friesen
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
That's how it goes.
jordan holmes
How could this country have elected Trump?
Oh, that's...
How?
dan friesen
That's how it goes with deeply entrenched illegal...
jordan holmes
This fucking racist pile of shit.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So, you might think that he's a racist, he's a bigot, he's awful.
jordan holmes
How is he not in jail?
dan friesen
Because he argues that he gets results.
jordan holmes
How is he not in jail, though?
He committed all the crimes.
dan friesen
He might be soon.
jordan holmes
He should be dead.
dan friesen
His argument is that he's gruff, but he gets results.
jordan holmes
No!
That's not an argument in a case of law!
dan friesen
But also, listen to this.
In 1998...
jordan holmes
I can't argue...
Oh, okay.
Here's...
Jordan, you're under arrest for terrorism.
Uh, excuse me, I believe I get results.
That's not an argument!
dan friesen
In 1998, Arpaio commissioned a study by Arizona State University criminal justice professor Marie L. Griffin to examine recidivism rates based on conditions of confinement.
So basically, like, before him...
jordan holmes
How often people come back to jail.
dan friesen
But it's also...
The study is supposed to be before him and after him.
Or, like, while he's in charge and his predecessor.
jordan holmes
Oh, for fuck's sake.
dan friesen
Comparing recidivism rates under Arpaio to those of his predecessor, the study found, quote, there's no significant difference in recidivism observed between those offenders released in 1989 to 90 and those released in 1994 to 1995.
jordan holmes
So what you're saying is that he is both a criminal, a monster, and his defense of I get results does not actually get results.
dan friesen
Statistically, it is a lie.
jordan holmes
He's a fucking...
How could you not prosecute him?
Like, there's no way that you could not...
Put him in jail forever and ever and ever.
For all the lives that there are.
dan friesen
I know that this is a lot of information and it's long, but I'm giving you all of this.
jordan holmes
I want to believe in reincarnation or ghosts just so that guy can be tortured every moment for the rest of fucking eternity.
dan friesen
I'm giving you all of this information and there's still even more, but the reason is because the interview that Alex does is with this guy's close associate.
So a guy who's carrying water for Joe Arpaio is who Alex has on.
jordan holmes
By the transitive property of you're a fucking monster, we can determine that we're talking to a fucking monster.
dan friesen
That this guy was up to some shit.
jordan holmes
Yeah, he's an evil man.
dan friesen
So guys, here's the situation.
There's a lot of really fucked up stuff that you can find out about the history of Joe Arpaio and the Maricopa County Sheriff's Association.
jordan holmes
And I just got a...
Fucking bullet point list of the absolute utter monstrosity of this man.
dan friesen
Upon reflection, me and Jordan have talked it over and we've decided that a lot of the stuff is not right for us to necessarily be broadcasting.
jordan holmes
It's sensitive stuff.
I think you should find this on your own in a comfortable place because listening to it in a row is...
dan friesen
Overwhelming.
jordan holmes
It shook me.
dan friesen
A good place to start is just his Wikipedia page.
jordan holmes
Yeah, no kidding.
dan friesen
A lot of citations you can find about that if you want to go.
You can find out more about the depths of the truly irresponsible and evil police work that Joe Arpaio presided over.
jordan holmes
He ranks up there with everyone convicted in the Nuremberg trials.
I genuinely believe that.
dan friesen
So anyway, guys, this...
Look into it.
We'll wait.
We'll be here.
jordan holmes
Are we going to give a moment of silence?
dan friesen
No.
Let's get into...
jordan holmes
Feel free to press pause.
We will wait four seconds for you and then we'll kick right back in.
dan friesen
Here's me tapping my foot waiting.
So here we go.
We get into now this interview with Mike Zullo.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Who again is...
One of the higher-ups of the Maricopa County, former higher-ups, as it were.
Alex does a lot of vamping.
jordan holmes
He's an accomplice to every single thing that Joe Arpaio has done.
dan friesen
Yes.
Well, I mean...
jordan holmes
I mean, he hasn't always been there, but in spirit.
dan friesen
Yeah.
He implicitly signed off by supporting him and still supporting him to this day.
So Alex does a lot of sort of opening presentation before he gets to the interview.
So I'm going to play a couple clips of that.
unidentified
Okay.
alex jones
Bombshell, Obama's NSA illegally spied on Sheriff Arpaio's prosecution.
They've got the documents, the surveillance, Arpaio's house, his office, all of it spied on and used in the federal court.
Again, Sheriff Arpaio they're trying to put in prison.
dan friesen
Wow.
alex jones
Good.
Federal officer, long-serving, decorated sheriff, patriot.
jordan holmes
Monster.
alex jones
Obama trying to put him in prison.
jordan holmes
Murderer.
alex jones
Using the spy grid.
To try to make up garbage.
jordan holmes
Racist.
alex jones
And guess who else is in the database?
Yours truly.
Isn't that just special?
jordan holmes
Not particularly.
alex jones
Yeah, I guess it's a who's who of the patriots in there.
Kind of want to get on that list, don't you?
dan friesen
Nope.
jordan holmes
Definitely not.
dan friesen
Shifting a bunch of papers.
jordan holmes
Which list was he shifting right there?
dan friesen
I think it was the Red List.
jordan holmes
The Red List?
Oh, no!
dan friesen
So, the argument that he's making there...
jordan holmes
Isn't that the Black List?
dan friesen
Oh, maybe it is.
The Red List was commies.
I don't know.
jordan holmes
Isn't that the one that starred David Duchovny?
No, that's the Red Shoe Diaries.
unidentified
Oh, shit.
dan friesen
So, the argument that he's making there is that Arpaio was being...
Spied on during his trial and what have you.
This is absolute utter nonsense.
jordan holmes
Why would you need to?
dan friesen
The secondary argument that he's making is that this database has come out with all of these...
All these people's names, and Alex Jones is one of them.
jordan holmes
The knock list from Mission Impossible.
dan friesen
I think it's the black list starring James Spader.
I corrected my reference.
Alright, fine.
jordan holmes
You win this round.
dan friesen
We'll get a little bit further down the line and make sure...
I'll get back to why that's bullshit in a second, but let's get through his introductions here.
This is where he connects...
What's going on, the Arpaio spying situation, to what we're going to be talking about later.
The bigger case that involves Trump, that involves Alex, it's this guy named Dennis Montgomery, who is that NSA-CIA whistleblower, who is much bigger than Snowden.
jordan holmes
I swear to God, have you seen the movie Zodiac?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Have you seen any movie where somebody has a giant fucking pinboard filled with string connecting one thing to another?
Because it's on your goddamn wall!
dan friesen
It's in my head.
This one's real simple, though.
I assure you, this is not that hard to code.
jordan holmes
One line of string.
That's all we needed for this one.
dan friesen
Basically.
alex jones
This was all brought to them years ago in federal court.
They ignored it.
And this is when he started coming after Arpaio even harder because they knew he had the whistleblower that had all this information.
dan friesen
So, he connects everything there.
This whistleblower in question is this guy named Dennis Montgomery.
jordan holmes
Dennis Montgomery!
dan friesen
Would you like a backstory on him now or later?
jordan holmes
Let's go with half and half.
Give me one bit of backstory.
dan friesen
One bit of backstory?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Okay, here's a fun one.
Dennis Montgomery was a guy who founded a video compression noise filtering business called Etrepid Technologies.
jordan holmes
A video compression noise filtering business?
dan friesen
In 1998, he founded this company.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
The business started out as a tool for the casino industry, but eventually they sought out government contracts.
In 2014, Montgomery was revealed to be working as a confidential informant for Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
He claimed that when he was contracting for the CIA through the Etrepid Technologies, the government contracts that he was doing, he obtained documents that proved a conspiracy against Arpaio.
Basically, that the Department of Justice under Eric Holder was working with the judge in the case, in Arpaio's racial profiling case, that the two of them were working together.
jordan holmes
Isn't that just called doing the law?
dan friesen
In this case, it's conspiracy.
jordan holmes
Well, I mean...
Is conspiracy, is it just like, hey, let's partner up?
dan friesen
I guess, yeah.
I mean, you can't, man.
jordan holmes
You can't partner up?
dan friesen
Otherwise, it's a conspiracy?
The allegation was that he was alleged wiretapping them, which the DOJ...
jordan holmes
So if the judge gave them permission to wiretap him, that's still not conspiracy.
dan friesen
Well, I mean, I don't know if there is that permission, so, I mean, I also don't...
jordan holmes
Have you seen the wire?
dan friesen
Let me put all my cards on the table.
jordan holmes
Put all those cards on the table.
dan friesen
I don't think there was a wiretap.
jordan holmes
There was definitely not a wiretap.
dan friesen
Also, we know how bad a dude Joe Arpaio is.
jordan holmes
He's a fucking monster who manufactured his own pipe bomb publicity stunt.
dan friesen
In this 2004 claim that Montgomery made in this court case, Arpaio later characterized the result of Montgomery's investigation as, quote, junk.
jordan holmes
Oh, so even Arpaio thinks Dennis Montgomery's a fucking idiot.
unidentified
Yep.
jordan holmes
Alright, then he's the perfect man to come on.
Alex Jones!
dan friesen
No, Montgomery's not gonna appear.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
Montgomery is a shadowy figure that's just talked about.
jordan holmes
Alright, so he's a vampire.
dan friesen
Yes.
Mike Zulo, who is Arpaio's detective.
jordan holmes
Who's Arpaio's Danny Zuko.
dan friesen
Now car salesman.
Is aghast here that we...
We are leading up to, I'm telling you, Alex does such an elaborate and super long introduction.
jordan holmes
Is Mike Zullo at least on screen watching the whole introduction looking awkwardly and uncomfortable?
dan friesen
No, because Jerome Corsi is.
jordan holmes
Oh, good.
Thank God.
If somebody's not looking uncomfortable while Alex Jones is introducing somebody, I get real bummed out.
dan friesen
I'm not joking at all.
Jerome Corsi is hanging out.
jordan holmes
Just in the corner, kind of pacing back and forth.
dan friesen
He has hooked things up between Mike Zullo and Alex to do an interview.
jordan holmes
Right, blind date style.
dan friesen
So he is there as like a third wheel.
Anyway, okay, so...
jordan holmes
Blind date style.
dan friesen
At this point, Alex drops a little bit of information that shows that he doesn't have any actual information about the situation that he's going to be discussing.
alex jones
So let's recap what happened yesterday.
jordan holmes
I love it.
alex jones
Let's recap what happened yesterday.
jordan holmes
Please do.
alex jones
And recap that, to give them credit, Newsmax and Larry Klayman, who's been at the center of this.
I'm going to get Klayman on it as soon as possible.
They're the ones that got the documents, and then they were able to interface them with Arpaio that show all this.
And they've got a report on the whistleblower himself.
It's like another Snowden.
He was a contractor.
So I need that info.
I had it last night.
I need it.
If you don't know where it is, just go to yesterday's interview with Zulo.
He talks about it in the first few minutes.
I need it bad.
I need it.
Uber bad.
dan friesen
He doesn't know what to talk about unless this information is sitting right in front of him.
Because he doesn't know the situation.
jordan holmes
Of course not.
dan friesen
He only knows if he's reading off some piece of paper.
Meanwhile, he yells about he's teleprompter free.
He doesn't know the story.
He only knows if his staff is feeding him information.
jordan holmes
Let's recap what happened yesterday.
dan friesen
He, Alex, had published a list of people's phone numbers and addresses that was allegedly from this Montgomery, this Dennis Montgomery guy.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
Well, let's recap what happened yesterday.
dan friesen
I just did.
jordan holmes
Oh.
Well, let's recap what happened yesterday.
dan friesen
He posted that.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
And he thinks it's evidence that Trump is being spied on and that- Because Joe Arpaio is spied on.
And that within this massive group of documents that- Dennis Montgomery has revealed, but he hasn't revealed...
jordan holmes
The new Snowden.
dan friesen
Yeah, he hasn't revealed any of his documents.
The Newton.
jordan holmes
Edward Snowden.
dan friesen
All that proves that James Comey is a fucking liar.
Right.
jordan holmes
James Comey is a fucking liar.
dan friesen
All of this is going on, and Trump is being fucking railroaded.
jordan holmes
It's good.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I like it.
dan friesen
So, this...
jordan holmes
I wish he was on a railroad where somebody was...
Twisting their pencil-thin mustache.
But this time, no Dudley Do-Right is coming.
dan friesen
Once again, I want to use this next clip to just establish that Alex is specifically talking about Trump stuff and Arpaio stuff as being the exact same thing.
jordan holmes
What about butt stuff?
dan friesen
Butt stuff is in the mix.
jordan holmes
I think it's in play?
dan friesen
Yeah, it's in play.
alex jones
The second part of the series that Dr. Corsi put up.
Today, published at Infowars.com, NSA document proves surveillance of Donald Trump and his family.
Bombshell Discovery shows targets of NSA Project Dragnet.
Here's a Larry Klayman article, that's the guy that found the judicial watch, at Newsmax.
Nunes must ask FBI, that's the House Intelligence Committee head again, must ask FBI's company about Montgomery mass surveillance case.
And that's the case given to Arpaio that the feds haven't denied.
With the 47 hard drives over 60 million pages of information.
Much bigger than Snowden.
dan friesen
Cucking out Snowden.
jordan holmes
But that doesn't...
Necessarily.
Like, yeah, he's got a mountain of empty...
dan friesen
Hard drives?
jordan holmes
Three by five floppies.
He's got a mountain of them.
More than Snowden's ever even seen.
dan friesen
They claim it's actually 600 million documents.
Alex undersold it as 60 million documents.
jordan holmes
600 million documents?
dan friesen
The issue is that no one really knows what's on them or if they're even real.
jordan holmes
How could you?
dan friesen
It would be impossible to have processed any of that information at this point.
Even with a couple years' lead time, you couldn't process 600 million documents.
Now, there's a couple issues.
jordan holmes
Well, I mean, if McDonald's can sell 99 billion, yeah, I think we can do it in about 10 years.
dan friesen
So, Alex's proof that all of this is real is that his phone number and his old phone number is in this database, along with Donald Trump's phone numbers, which, again, we have suspicions whether he actually knows or not.
jordan holmes
He does not know.
dan friesen
Here's a clip of him providing literally the only evidence he gives at any point that this stuff is true.
alex jones
The Super Snowden leaks show Obama spied on Trump, Alex Jones, Sheriff Arpaio.
jordan holmes
It's all there.
alex jones
How sensational.
Drudge, the biggest news site in the world, rated the second biggest website in the world, period, has had this link since yesterday at 4 o 'clock.
Guys, search engine Alex Jones, click Google, or search engine NSA, whatever.
As of Showtime, I've seen nothing on this.
I've never seen that.
Total blackout.
They don't know how to respond.
Let me tell you, these phone numbers, these private phone numbers, his private apartment at Mar-a-Lago and all that, these are the numbers.
My old cell phone number nobody had, that's real.
My old private office, that's real.
All these numbers?
Real.
This is real.
They already know that.
That's why they're so scared.
They're running around saying, to the whole world, Trump's insane.
dan friesen
No one ever surveilled you.
jordan holmes
Why would you have an office phone number that nobody could know?
dan friesen
I don't know.
jordan holmes
Shouldn't you?
dan friesen
It's dumb.
jordan holmes
Why would you even have an office phone?
If nobody's supposed to know your office phone number.
dan friesen
I mean, you hit the nail right on the head.
A lot of this stuff is conceivably public information.
jordan holmes
It's definitely public information.
dan friesen
But even Alex Jones' cell phone number, I guarantee I could find it.
jordan holmes
He probably gave it on air at one point.
dan friesen
I guarantee that if I had a tiny bit of hacking ability, I could find his phone number.
You can find anybody's private information really easily.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Based on all of the places that you would have dropped it.
jordan holmes
He probably put it on fucking Facebook.
dan friesen
If you ever went to college, all of that information is really easily accessible.
Like, a bunch of your...
jordan holmes
Well, I mean, we do know he only ever went to community college, and I'm assuming he's changed his cell phone since then.
dan friesen
Well, right, but I mean, a lot of the...
jordan holmes
So they have his community college cell phone number?
dan friesen
Sure, that could be what he said.
jordan holmes
They got it!
dan friesen
It's real.
I don't think cell phones were around back then, but be that as it may, but what I'm saying is a lot of these things, you end up filing information places, and a lot of your private information is much more accessible than people think.
I've seen tons of news reports about this where just...
Mid-level, basic hacking individuals, let's say.
Not even the most evolved hackers are able to find tons and tons of private information about people, and not illegally.
They're just able to find it.
jordan holmes
You can get fucking...
Courtesy calls on your cell phone now.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
They're just selling your number.
Like, if you've ever gotten a call on your cell phone polling you, that's because somebody sold your fucking number.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
You can easily...
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
All that information is super easy to find.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
So the fact that he's using it as proof of an NSA CIA database is cockamamie.
It's ludicrous.
jordan holmes
It could have just been fucking AT&T.
dan friesen
Yeah, absolutely.
And I mean, if we really want to get down to the bottom of it, I'm against that.
I don't like the idea that people are selling information, but that's a whole other thing to unpack.
That's not what Alex is talking about.
Anyway.
jordan holmes
It was unpacked yesterday, I believe.
It's now legal to sell all of your information.
dan friesen
So, here we go.
jordan holmes
They signed it into law!
dan friesen
Here we go.
Alex is, again, reinforcing his own sort of narrative, but doing it incredibly poorly, because, again, this is what he says in terms of, like, we have the proof.
alex jones
We have all the headlines.
Wiretap data.
We can show it to you all day long.
dan friesen
You can show us headlines all day long, but that doesn't matter.
jordan holmes
Edit it in so right before he says that, you say the exact...
Don't say we have all the proof and then he says we have all the headlines.
You have to say we have all the headlines, then he says it.
dan friesen
He's got the headlines.
unidentified
It's perfect.
jordan holmes
It's perfect.
You look like a fucking genius.
dan friesen
So anyway, here we go.
We're going to get into the actual Zulo interview now.
Zulo's going to lay out a story.
That, unfortunately, as he tells the story, you start to get the picture that he actually doesn't have shit.
It's really unfortunate.
And the title that I gave this clip is, They Don't Know What To Do With The Information.
mike zullo
You know, to put it in a nutshell, to address the question you just asked, we really don't know what is going on.
We know that we made every endeavor to bring...
Mr. Montgomery, his information to federal authorities.
Like I said earlier, we contacted Larry Klayman for his assistance, and under the direction of Sheriff Arpaio, we brought Mr. Montgomery to Judge Royce Lamberth, who used to be the head of the FISA court.
Judge Lamberth was the FISA judge that authorized the Bin Laden wiretaps in his living room at 3 o 'clock in the morning.
And we got him there.
The dilemma was...
For all involved, is where do we go with this?
Mr. Montgomery, during his tenure as a contractor, the FBI, and this is in court documents, had illegally executed a search warrant on his home with fabricated affidavits to a judge.
And that was all bared out in a trial.
He did not, for obvious reasons, trust the FBI or want to work with the FBI.
That posed a problem for us.
Because the only other place we could have gone to at that time would have been the Department of Justice, and I believe at that time it was still Eric Holder.
That was a problem.
dan friesen
So here's why it's a problem for them.
jordan holmes
Because it's not a thing?
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Allegedly, all of this 600 million documents is confidential information.
So they can't just go to a lawyer.
jordan holmes
Yeah, they're illegally holding it.
dan friesen
Yeah.
He stole all this, allegedly, from the NSA.
jordan holmes
It is a problem to take it to the Department of Justice when Holder is willing to prosecute you.
dan friesen
But also, this guy, Mike Zullo, in the next interview that we're going to be dealing with is this guy who keeps coming up, Larry Klayman.
The two of them can't know anything about what's on those documents.
jordan holmes
And if they do...
dan friesen
They've committed a crime.
jordan holmes
That's bad.
dan friesen
So if they admit that they know anything on it, they have on air committed a crime.
jordan holmes
That is a pickle!
dan friesen
That's really tough.
So essentially...
jordan holmes
That's a fine line to walk.
dan friesen
All of these dudes have to...
And I believe them.
I don't necessarily think that they're lying.
They haven't looked at any of it.
jordan holmes
Or they have.
unidentified
All...
dan friesen
No.
I think all they're going on...
Is what Dennis Montgomery has told them.
He has seen the documents.
They are telling Alex what Dennis Montgomery has told them they say.
jordan holmes
So we're playing a big game of telephone here.
dan friesen
Basically.
jordan holmes
That's what's happening.
dan friesen
Well, it's back to Johnson, that CIA operative who Alex had on the other day, who had third-hand knowledge of stuff.
jordan holmes
Yeah, he's got friends who know sources who are right next to the guy.
dan friesen
Who have maybe seen the videos that he's talking about, where Michelle Obama says the word honky.
unidentified
God, again, really wish that were true.
dan friesen
Again, this is...
jordan holmes
I would watch that on repeat.
Give me a gif of Michelle Obama saying whitey.
dan friesen
Third hand reporting.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
Third hand.
jordan holmes
Uh-huh.
dan friesen
Thorough.
jordan holmes
That's why they call it thoroughed hand.
dan friesen
That's a problem for them.
Because they can't make an argument.
All they can do is speculate about what possibly is in this information based on what...
Dennis Montgomery has told them.
jordan holmes
So, they're doing everything Alex Jones loves to do.
dan friesen
Now, Dennis Montgomery, as we've already established, his investigation to try and help Joe Arpaio was called junk by Joe Arpaio himself.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So, that's one piece.
I can't wait to fucking drop the hammer on this Dennis Montgomery.
jordan holmes
Let's do it.
dan friesen
I'm not doing it now.
jordan holmes
Jesus Christ!
dan friesen
We need to let it build.
jordan holmes
This is the worst handjob I've ever received.
dan friesen
We need to let it build.
So, at this point, Zulo is going to explain what happened.
They took the information to the FBI.
I'll let him spell it out.
mike zullo
Larry Klayman was successful in persuading Mr. Montgomery to talk to the FBI, which he did.
My understanding, you'll have to clarify this with Larry, Is Mr. Montgomery brought in a sampling of some documentation that the FBI vetted.
In return, they contacted him and gave him what is known as production immunity.
dan friesen
Again, this is based on Larry, or excuse me, on what Dennis Montgomery has said.
jordan holmes
They wouldn't have done that, though, if he had...
Stolen those documents.
dan friesen
He stole 47 hard drives and 600 million documents.
jordan holmes
Yeah, you remember how Edward Snowden isn't allowed to be in the country anymore?
Like, they just won't do it, because then they'll, like, Goodbye!
Forever, Edward Snowden!
dan friesen
So Dennis Montgomery, instead, la la la, walks into the FBI.
unidentified
He's just hanging around.
dan friesen
He shows them these documents.
jordan holmes
Check out your documents, guys!
dan friesen
They let him leave, and then he just has been living his life.
Oh, I also want to make this clear.
Dennis Montgomery, at this point in 2017, Is like 65 years old.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
So he's an old dude.
He's not some spry.
Edward Snowden's sexy.
He's young and it's a fun whistleblower image.
jordan holmes
Nobody's writing Citizen 64. No, not at all.
dan friesen
Nothing against him for being old, but it's like you get in your head this idea because Snowden keeps coming up that he's like some able-bodied young man.
He's old as shit.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
You know how hackers usually aren't a 70-year-old dude?
dan friesen
But I do believe that he actually...
jordan holmes
Using dial-up CDs?
dan friesen
I mean, we can talk all the shit we want, but I do believe that this guy actually does have some hacking ability.
Okay.
But that's only because Occam's razor tells me he has to in order to fraudulently create the documents that have been sent to InfoWars.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
And I'll spell that out a little bit later as we go along.
jordan holmes
So he knows enough to forge...
Bullshit.
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
Gotcha.
dan friesen
Let's talk a little bit more about the FBI situation.
mike zullo
And he brought in, I believe it was like 600 million records.
jordan holmes
Uh-oh.
mike zullo
He provided them that information, some time goes by, and they called him back, and they now gave him testimonial immunity.
alex jones
That's right, it's reported.
47 hard drives, 60 million pages of information.
I mean, this is just unbelievable.
This is way bigger than anything WikiLeaks or Snowden ever had.
And now we're checking the data.
It's all real.
There's no way this guy had this.
These are real databases.
dan friesen
No, not necessarily.
jordan holmes
Nuh-uh.
dan friesen
So, I mean, you know, again, it comes back to, like, a lot of that stuff is fairly easy to find.
jordan holmes
Google.
dan friesen
Some of it could be Googled.
jordan holmes
Some of it could just be...
So, we know Montgomery can Google.
dan friesen
Which is impressive for a 65-year-old.
jordan holmes
That is not bad.
dan friesen
No, not bad at all.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
I know a lot of people who are in their 50s who have no idea.
They're like, can I Bing it?
No, you can't Bing it.
jordan holmes
You can't Bing classified documents.
Only Google has that.
Everybody knows this.
dan friesen
At this point, Zulo gets into another part that actually sounds like it might have some legs.
jordan holmes
Okay.
Is he ever going to not be the most boring person to listen to?
dan friesen
No, because Jerome Corsi is still around.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's true.
dan friesen
And David Knight.
jordan holmes
Good point.
dan friesen
So he's going to get into this, and it sounds scary, but don't worry about it.
I'll be right back on the other side of this to explain.
mike zullo
Let us find out.
jordan holmes
Don't worry about it.
alex jones
Different info randomly that he obviously can't just go and guess what you're going to spot check, and what did you find?
mike zullo
The personal information on a lot of the 151,000 people was absolutely correct.
Although none of them can identify the bank accounts that were alleged to be theirs.
That gets to be very interesting because those bank accounts, it is suspected that they are actually fraudulent transactions.
Every one of those bank accounts had accounts in it with high speculative real estate, gas and oil, stock plays.
alex jones
So we're talking about a lot of derivatives, speculative things being done in other people's names.
jordan holmes
Correct.
Alex doesn't know what that is.
dan friesen
Nope.
And, uh, I mean, that's...
jordan holmes
Derivative, speculative things.
dan friesen
Things.
jordan holmes
What does he think those are?
dan friesen
Uh, sugar futures?
I don't know.
jordan holmes
Oh, like from trading places?
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
The orange futures.
Gotcha, gotcha.
dan friesen
So, that is actually really unfortunate.
That they use those specifics, because I can trace back exactly what they're talking about.
Uh-oh!
jordan holmes
Papa Dan.
dan friesen
Found a little bit of an article from the News Association in Phoenix that was covering the trial of Arpaio.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And so, plaintiff's lawyers presented some evidence suggesting that the informant Dennis Montgomery was investigating Snow, who was the lawyer, who was, I'm sorry, not the lawyer, the judge.
In Joe Arpaio's racial discrimination case.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
So they found some evidence that indicated that Montgomery, Dennis Montgomery, was being employed by Joe Arpaio to investigate the judge.
Which would be very illegal.
jordan holmes
That's really illegal.
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
That fits with our Judge Arpaio knowledge so far.
dan friesen
Who has actively tried to jail opponents, people who speak out against him, who's caused millions of dollars of lawsuits to be filed because of his dictatorish behavior.
jordan holmes
He's like every sheriff in any movie from the South during this Reconstruction era.
dan friesen
40s era movies.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
So Arpaio insisted he hadn't encouraged Montgomery to investigate the judge.
He would never do that.
Instead, Arpaio insisted the informant was investigating bank fraud, and the judge was one of 150,000 alleged victims in Maricopa County.
Now, that 150,000 is important because that's 1,000 off from the number that this guy just referenced as the NSA-CIA database that allegedly includes Donald Trump and Alex Jones.
Do they live in Maricopa County?
jordan holmes
Uh, no.
dan friesen
So it seems like it's a decent possibility that that...
jordan holmes
They're repurposing bullshit information to different bullshit information.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Wow!
unidentified
That's...
jordan holmes
Well, we should recycle.
I think that's a very important thing.
Climate change is coming.
So if you're going to invent bullshit, you don't want to just keep on throwing your old bullshit away.
dan friesen
Use it to grow mushrooms.
Exactly!
jordan holmes
It's great fertilizer for lies.
dan friesen
Arpaio and Montgomery had this bank fraud thing that was cover for him investigating this judge that was trying to pass a racial profiling case against him.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Well, and the judge is not actually invested in...
Striking him down.
He's hearing the case.
The prosecutors are more the issue.
Nah.
jordan holmes
Judges!
dan friesen
He's investigating this judge to try and get leverage over him and what have you.
jordan holmes
But that fits with the kind of paranoid personality that we're dealing with because he doesn't believe that it is never...
He always believes it's one guy.
It's one guy with all of this power because he's a guy with all of this dumb power.
So he can't believe there's any kind of system that will eventually tear him down.
unidentified
Nope.
jordan holmes
In the same way that, you know, Trump is a dictator who can't understand that laws, he can't understand that laws are real.
dan friesen
So this part gets a little bit fun here.
After the April hearing, Judge Snow ordered that the Sheriff's Office turn over documents relating to Montgomery's investigation.
These documents include timelines and flowcharts seeming to allege conversations and collusion between Judge Snow, the DOJ, and the law firm of Covington and Burlington.
Which represents the plaintiffs in the case.
jordan holmes
And factories.
Four coats.
dan friesen
Coat factories.
On Friday, plaintiff's lawyer, Stanley Young, questioned Arpaio repeatedly about Montgomery and presented some evidence to try and show Arpaio knew that Montgomery was looking into Judge Snow and was personally interested in that probe.
Both Arpaio and his chief deputy Jerry Sheridan testified in this round of hearings they didn't ask Montgomery to make those documents.
Sheridan testified earlier in the hearing that he told the detective and sergeant working with Montgomery not to pursue the investigations against Judge Snow.
This article goes on to explain that I want to find the exact part because it's fucking hilarious.
Arpaio got a fax.
Young, who was employed by Covington and Burlington, showed Arpaio...
jordan holmes
That is a great children's book.
Arpaio got a fax.
dan friesen
So this lawyer...
jordan holmes
If you give Arpaio a fax...
dan friesen
This lawyer, Young...
Who is employed by Covington and Burlington, showed Arpaio had received a fax from Montgomery in November 2013 with an early version of a timeline showing events in the Department of Justice's racial profiling case and the racial profiling case in Judge Snow's court, as well as information about alleged wiretaps against the sheriff.
On the back of the fax, Arpaio used a typewriter to make some typo-riddled notes.
jordan holmes
What world are we...
What decade is it?
A fax in 2013 he uses a typewriter on?
Are we traveling through time right now?
dan friesen
It's insane.
He added handwritten notes about possible connections.
jordan holmes
He typewrit and handwrote on the same fucking back of a fax?
dan friesen
He handwrote notes about possible connections between Judge Snow and the law firm of Covington and Burlington.
jordan holmes
He also drew a picture of a dinosaur.
dan friesen
He drew his hand and turned it into a turkey.
These notes mention that former Arizona Senator John Keel worked with the law firm Covington& Burling.
There's also mention that Judge Snow's wife worked there as well, which is not true.
The notes read, Snow confirmed by U.S. Senate...
Keough on Judiciary Committee on June 26, 2008.
Obama takes office January 2009.
Judge born 1959.
It's all crazy nonsense.
Handwritten, scrawled on the back of this.
jordan holmes
So he's doing numerology.
dan friesen
Yes, he's desperately trying to...
jordan holmes
Yeah, he's just making a...
And you add those numbers together, and it's 666!
Whoa!
dan friesen
All of it is...
Desperately grasping at straws and clearly Montgomery was not working on a bank fraud case.
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
That was cover that he used.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
A handwritten note also noted, quote, Will Cox's husband in the 150,000.
That's the people that were allegedly being targeted.
jordan holmes
As well as the number of Jehovah's Witnesses who are going to make it into heaven.
dan friesen
Wilcox referred to former Maricopa County supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox's husband, Earl.
Arpaio said it was a reference to him...
jordan holmes
Can we just talk about how those are the whitest names in a row you just...
dan friesen
Earl and Mary Rose Wilcox?
Yeah.
Arpaio said it was a reference to him being among the 150,000 victims of bank fraud.
That note, quote, totally floored Earl Wilcox, who was seated in the courtroom and saw his own name in the document when it was displayed on a monitor in the gallery.
The Wilcoxes are vocal opponents of the sheriff.
The sheriff's office had tried to criminally indict Mary Rose Wilcox, and she won a civil suit against the county for the baseless charges.
So, you get a sense of what's going on here.
jordan holmes
Arpeo is acting illegally all the time.
dan friesen
All the time.
jordan holmes
Super all the time.
dan friesen
All the time.
And Montgomery was a confidential informant, in quotes, who was actually doing...
Pretty illegal investigations on his behalf.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So that's the sort of, that's the flavor we've got right now.
I promise you, this is going to develop, and it's going to be a rose petal, blossoming.
jordan holmes
I would prefer a Bloomin' Onion from TGI Fridays, but if you want to do a rose petal, that's fine.
If you want to be poetic, that's fine, but I'm an American, okay?
dan friesen
At this point, the alleged 151,000 people, who include Donald Trump, Alex Jones, Alex Jones' old office and what have you.
jordan holmes
His private office number, his old cell phone number, his mom's birthday, his son's bar mitzvah, his great-grandmother's, she's a slave, I don't know.
Anyways.
dan friesen
That exact same database that's being alleged now was used years ago in this court case as alleged information of all people who live in Maricopa County who are being victims of bank fraud in order to cover for an investigation into a federal judge.
So that's what's going on.
Alex can't.
It's possible he doesn't know that.
jordan holmes
He does not know any of that.
All of those words you just said are more words than Alex Jones can understand.
dan friesen
Right, but again...
jordan holmes
You should have boiled that down into a headline, and then maybe Alex Jones could understand it.
dan friesen
Headline, Alex Jones full of shit.
jordan holmes
There you go!
dan friesen
Can you understand that?
jordan holmes
Alex Jones understands that!
You just...
Okay, here's what you did.
Alrighty.
You built a case.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
You then gathered evidence for that case.
dan friesen
I researched pretty heavily.
jordan holmes
That you put a lot of work and time and effort into.
All of that points to only one possible conclusion that you can then establish is reality.
dan friesen
And I can establish it even further.
jordan holmes
Now, where do you think in that line Alex Jones would stop?
unidentified
The part where you said...
jordan holmes
Here's what we're going to do.
dan friesen
You know where he would stop?
As soon as any indication that he's not totally right, he'd just go, la la la la la la, plug up his ears.
unidentified
Of course not.
jordan holmes
There's no way he understood what you were talking about.
dan friesen
So here's this next clip.
It's Mike Zullo again getting into how they don't actually know anything.
jordan holmes
So I'm going to come down right now on the side of Alex is being duped because he's an idiot.
dan friesen
I think that it's possible.
I think that there's pretty strong...
Well, here's the problem.
Later...
jordan holmes
Oh, there are so many problems.
dan friesen
Well, later he's going to talk about how great a guy Joe Arpaio is and he talks to him and stuff like that.
jordan holmes
He talks to Joe Arpaio.
dan friesen
Yeah, so I believe that there is a vested interest in Alex defending him.
So I don't know if he's...
If he's being duped, he's super willing to be duped.
jordan holmes
Yeah, but we've established...
So many times that Alex Jones is always super willing to be dupe.
And he is a star fucker.
So Joe Arpaio has a certain amount of fame for being a horrific monster.
A truly horrific, nightmarish pile of garbage human being.
But he's famous, so Alex Jones wants to suck up to him in the same way that he wants to suck up to the fucking nuge.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And that's what this is.
So he's willing to go along.
dan friesen
And alleged Nazi Jesse James.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
As well as alleged Nazi Sandra Bullock.
dan friesen
Since we've got a lot of...
Hey, now.
We've got a lot of ground to cover, so I'm going to skip this next clip because it's...
Again, we talked about it earlier.
It's basically just Zulo repeating in different language that they don't really actually know what's going on.
They don't know what the documents say.
They can't.
jordan holmes
It's Zulu in Zulu, is what you're saying.
dan friesen
So here, this next clip, is Mike Zulu explaining some of Dennis Montgomery's pedigree and where he comes from, which is actually evidence of my argument that he is able to discover people's private information through techniques he's able to employ on his own.
alex jones
Right.
jordan holmes
As opposed to Batman, who just kind of hangs out in the bushes.
dan friesen
Right.
alex jones
But what did he tell you he was doing, or did he not want to incriminate himself?
mike zullo
Well, I don't want to go into too much of what he said.
alex jones
He said it was similar to a contractor like Snowden.
mike zullo
Actually, Mr. Montgomery, and this is public, Mr. Montgomery was a contractor who developed the hacking software that could penetrate firewalls of computers, breach them, take over as the administrator, and remain undetected for about an hour and a half.
And download whatever they want.
jordan holmes
And that's my understanding.
For an hour and a half?
dan friesen
That's the time frame.
jordan holmes
That's like, hey, keep him on the line for 20 seconds, otherwise we won't get his exact location.
dan friesen
Exactly.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's bullshit.
dan friesen
We can mask him for an hour and a half.
jordan holmes
Why would you build something that only lasts for an hour and a half?
dan friesen
Well, because it's a lie.
jordan holmes
It is a lie.
dan friesen
It's 100% a lie.
jordan holmes
I think it might be a lie.
dan friesen
It's a lie.
But I do believe that he has some hacking skills.
I have done some research and figured out exactly what Dennis Montgomery was doing when he had government contracts.
jordan holmes
The subtitle of this episode is, Dan has done some research.
dan friesen
So, I told you about Dennis Montgomery.
In 1998, he founded that company called Etrepid Technologies.
jordan holmes
Would you call him D. Montgomery Burns?
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Thank you.
dan friesen
We're going to burn him.
Like I said, it started out as like a casino tool.
jordan holmes
You know we didn't start the fire, though.
dan friesen
No, but it's always been burning.
Eventually, after they started by targeting the casino industry, they started to branch out and try and get government contracts.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
In 2003, or thereabouts, right around then, Dennis claimed that he had developed software that would analyze barcodes that appeared on Al Jazeera, and he used these decoded information that he gleaned from these barcodes to predict impending terrorist attacks.
This is what he developed.
jordan holmes
So he's a student of the Kabbalah?
Is that what you're saying right there?
dan friesen
No, Al Jazeera is a news network and they have barcodes on it.
jordan holmes
So they have barcodes and he's just...
So he's saying that they're planning terrorist attacks through the barcodes in Al Jazeera.
dan friesen
Yes.
And he has developed a software that will allow us to predict...
jordan holmes
It's so needlessly complicated.
dan friesen
It kind of makes sense.
No, it doesn't.
jordan holmes
No, send a letter!
On a horse!
dan friesen
At that point, a gentleman named Tom Ridge was Homeland Security Director of the United States.
And he was convinced enough about this software and that it was legit that he used information gleaned from the software to raise the terror alert multiple times.
He went so far as to evacuate public buildings and call for flights to be grounded based on interpretations of barcodes on Al Jazeera through Dennis Montgomery's software.
jordan holmes
That's not real.
It is.
dan friesen
It's very real.
jordan holmes
Tell me we don't live in a dumb enough world to believe that shit.
dan friesen
It's so real.
jordan holmes
That is...
That's legit.
Like, you know, is it Kabbalah where it's like they put certain letters of each page of the Bible that correspond to certain verses?
dan friesen
Weird Bible code stuff?
jordan holmes
Yeah, like that whole thing where they predict the end of the world.
That's what that is.
That's exactly what that is.
dan friesen
It's the same sort of logic.
unidentified
It's bullshit.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's insane.
jordan holmes
That makes no...
No sense!
dan friesen
Just because I don't want to ruin where this is going to go.
jordan holmes
Like, this isn't the wind talkers!
dan friesen
I don't want to ruin the entire end of this story yet, but a CIA agent who was involved in, like, the implementation of this technology and it being brought in...
jordan holmes
Jack Ryan.
dan friesen
He requested anonymity, but he was quoted later as talking about the meeting where they learned about this information as being...
This is so embarrassing.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
He tried to fight against it, but there was no use.
It was implemented.
jordan holmes
That's the saddest thing.
dan friesen
Hold on.
I'll just spell out the rest of this story now, because why not?
jordan holmes
This is why it's so hard to believe in any conspiracy theory, is when you find out this shit, you're like, there's no way they could have killed JFK.
These people might be fucking stupid.
dan friesen
Such incompetence.
jordan holmes
Has anybody considered that everybody in the CIA is actually fucking a moron?
dan friesen
Well, not this guy who said it was embarrassing.
jordan holmes
Not fucking a moron.
dan friesen
They are a moron.
But when you have a conclusion that you want to arrive at and someone gives you, like...
jordan holmes
Confirmation bias.
dan friesen
Plausible version of your conclusion.
Why wouldn't you jump along with it?
jordan holmes
Like 9-11 was an inside job.
dan friesen
Right.
So, this guy, his software, Dennis Montgomery, his software is implemented and it's used to make terror predictions.
jordan holmes
Is it?
dan friesen
A little bit.
Hold on.
jordan holmes
What does it even look like?
Okay, so this is 2003 level software, right?
So he puts it in, and this is back when you had to use 3x5 floppies.
dan friesen
No, not in 2003.
jordan holmes
What were we using?
dan friesen
CDs, probably.
jordan holmes
Okay, CDs.
That was my Encarta period.
dan friesen
I bet there were flash drives back then, too.
Maybe rudimentary flash drives.
jordan holmes
Maybe.
Let's go with CDs, right?
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
So, we're using, let's call it Windows 2000.
dan friesen
No, it was 2003.
Windows 2003.
jordan holmes
Well, whatever.
Well, it's Montgomery.
Let's call it Windows 95. We're using this nonsense.
dan friesen
I don't know if it's like MLB The Show.
I don't know if there's a new one ever here.
jordan holmes
It's like mad.
dan friesen
Build your case.
jordan holmes
Okay, so we're using base Windows, our first GUIs, and this guy puts in a CD that analyzes barcodes on Al Jazeera, right?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
So that means he's...
What?
Watching Al Jazeera?
He's got screenshots of Al Jazeera.
It takes him five minutes to download each picture of Al Jazeera.
And you pull up a command prompt and it looks at it like...
Does one of those, like, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
This software had to have been the exact same level of technology as where in the world is Carmen Sandiego.
dan friesen
Without Rockapella.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
That is, there's no possible way, that was even real software.
dan friesen
It's fascinating.
jordan holmes
That was a random number generator.
dan friesen
It's fascinating.
jordan holmes
That's what he made.
dan friesen
Well, here's what happened.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
A little bit down the line.
French intelligence and the CIA did a little bit of looking into his software, and they realized that Dennis Montgomery was just making shit up.
jordan holmes
I knew it!
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
And...
jordan holmes
I know about computers.
dan friesen
Not only that, these barcodes on Al Jazeera didn't exist.
jordan holmes
Where would you put bar...
dan friesen
He just made even that part up about it.
So the FBI did...
jordan holmes
All right, so this dude is a con man of ridiculous talents.
dan friesen
The FBI did a counter-investigation into Dennis Montgomery and found that he had a, quote, long history of fraud.
And he hadn't...
jordan holmes
Of course he did!
Of course he did!
dan friesen
He had an extensive gambling problem with deep debts.
A CIA agent, like I said, was quoted as saying that the whole thing was, quote, very embarrassing.
His former lawyer...
Who represented him at that time.
Actually, his name is Michael J. Flynn, which is weird because that's Mike Flynn's son's name.
It's not the same guy as far as I can tell.
jordan holmes
Well, that's also Michael J. Fox's first two names.
dan friesen
That's true.
jordan holmes
I think we can rule out Michael J. Fox.
dan friesen
There's a lot of coincidences.
jordan holmes
Although he was basically this character in The Secret of My Success, right?
dan friesen
I think so, yeah.
So his former lawyer described Dennis Montgomery as, quote, a con artist and, quote, a habitual liar engaged in fraud.
That's a guy who defended him.
jordan holmes
Good for him.
dan friesen
Yeah, so that's the guy.
That's the guy.
jordan holmes
Somehow, like...
I thought he was evil before, but once you find out he's a con man, then I just get, like, catch me if you can memories in my head where I'm like, I'm rooting for him.
I hope he continues to con the authorities.
dan friesen
Boy, I'm not.
jordan holmes
Why isn't there a movie where everybody, like, there are too many movies where our Secret Service and our CIAs and our intelligence community is competent when there's so many more stories where they're...
Idiots.
unidentified
Right, right.
jordan holmes
Can we have more CIA people that are stupid?
dan friesen
That disserves our public interest, though.
We like to create and maintain the image that everyone's super competent.
Because it keeps us feeling safe.
jordan holmes
I would feel a lot better if I knew they were stupid.
dan friesen
Jordan, would you like to hear more about Dennis Montgomery?
jordan holmes
No!
dan friesen
I have one really great...
jordan holmes
Do I have a choice?
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
You don't.
dan friesen
Yes, you don't.
So, in 2006, there was a governor's race.
There was a gubernatorial race, and in it, Montgomery accused candidate Jim Gibbons, this is in Nevada, he accused Jim Gibbons of bribery.
He claimed that his own business, Etrepid Technologies, had given him casino chips and $100,000 in cash in exchange for favors.
jordan holmes
So wait, he just said that he committed bribery?
dan friesen
Yep.
jordan holmes
That was his, like...
Here's what I did.
I'm going to blow the lid off this thing.
I committed a crime!
dan friesen
You're corrupt, and I know it because I was the other end of it.
Exactly!
jordan holmes
That's a bad strategy.
dan friesen
It's not great.
jordan holmes
Did he even ask for immunity beforehand, or did he just call a press conference?
dan friesen
It's unclear.
So he claimed that they gave him all of this money in exchange for favors, right?
So Montgomery claimed that he had emails from Gibbon's private email.
jordan holmes
Which, as we know, Montgomery does not know how to email.
dan friesen
But that proved that he was not lying about the situation.
Gibbon said that the emails were fake and had been created by Montgomery.
In court, a computer expert testified that he must challenge the authenticity of the emails.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
The court case was thrown out.
An 18-month FBI investigation concluded that Gibbons did nothing wrong and cleared him of all charges.
18 months.
jordan holmes
See, our intelligence community is actually dumb.
dan friesen
They're thorough, though.
jordan holmes
Yeah, sure.
dan friesen
A U.S. House Ethics Committee investigated the charges as well and found no wrongdoing.
Now, why is this case super important?
jordan holmes
Because it established Dennis Montgomery is a liar, an idiot, a con man.
dan friesen
And willing to falsify documents.
jordan holmes
Super willing.
dan friesen
There is an indication that was borne out in court that he has...
Fraudulently created documents.
jordan holmes
And so now we're citing his documents on the Alex Jones show.
dan friesen
Now further...
jordan holmes
For different shit.
dan friesen
Now further, the other case where he created this fake software and was shown to be a hoax gives...
And the FBI investigation showing that he has a history of fraud.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
All of this shows that he is a complete liar, he has no credibility, and in court has been shown to create false documents.
jordan holmes
And he probably committed some crimes.
dan friesen
Probably.
jordan holmes
Shouldn't...
No, you commit a crime.
If you accuse that dude...
Of committing a crime that you then say, I also committed.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Isn't that a crime?
dan friesen
Sure, but it turns out in court that crime didn't happen, so Montgomery's off the hook for bribery.
Because he didn't do it.
jordan holmes
Because he didn't bribe him, but he committed fraud or libel?
dan friesen
He should be in prison for making false statements.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
But I don't know how he's not.
jordan holmes
It's insane.
No, it's at least perjury.
If there was actually a trial, he would have had to testify that.
And if he had testified that, then that would be perjury.
He would have perjured himself under oath.
dan friesen
Maybe he pleaded the fifth.
jordan holmes
Unless when he went to trial, he just said he didn't do any of that.
dan friesen
He could have made these claims and a court case is initiated and then he never said anything under oath.
He could have done that.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
That's what he had to have done.
dan friesen
Probably.
jordan holmes
Because, of course, if he had, then he would have committed a crime and he would be in jail.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So this is the guy who's the root of these...
allegations and this fake database that Alex Jones is citing as evidence of himself and Trump being spied upon.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
It's clear at this point that that is not true.
It's absolutely not true.
jordan holmes
You have kicked more ass.
On that story than anyone has ever kicked.
dan friesen
I promise you, it's not done.
jordan holmes
That's an expose that you just did that no one will really ever hear.
dan friesen
And no one cares.
But you know what?
The reason they're complaining about how the FBI is making no moves on this stuff and there's a media blackout.
But what we're talking about now is why there's a media blackout.
Because no one gives a shit.
This guy has no credibility.
jordan holmes
Like, what was the...
Yeah, you just kicked it.
You just kicked the ass.
You kicked all the ass on this story.
dan friesen
Again, it's not done.
We still have to get to Larry Klayman.
jordan holmes
Yeah, but seriously.
dan friesen
Listen.
jordan holmes
This is amazing.
dan friesen
This next clip is...
So, we're still in the Zulo interview.
And Jerome Corsi, who has been silently a part of this the whole time, butts in.
to try and vouch for the situation that's going on.
jordan holmes
Jerome Corsi's kicking in.
dan friesen
And I want to play this clip just as another side argument I want to make right after.
unidentified
I want to say, look, I've worked with Mike now since 2011.
We've worked together.
And I want to say that Mike's as honest as they come.
He does not want to be doing this.
I mean, we've been working on this for days and actually a couple of weeks.
And Mike...
It's like pulling teeth.
He has other things to do.
He's not even in the sheriff's office anymore.
dan friesen
He's a used car dealer.
unidentified
He's a life to lead and a family to take care of.
He doesn't need to be doing this.
And it takes great courage for him to do it.
I'm telling you, Mike speaks the truth.
It's carefully put together.
He's not going to tell you something is so...
alex jones
Sure, the audience knows that.
dan friesen
Here's why I played that clip.
He's desperately trying to provide credibility for Mike Zulo.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
But he doesn't realize that if you look at the history of Jerome Corsi, that's a liar vouching for your credibility, which actually hurts you.
Because Jerome Corsi, as we've laid out in the past, has written a book about Obama's birth certificate being fake.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
He was also a member of the Swift Boat Veterans.
jordan holmes
The Swift Boating!
dan friesen
Yeah, so he is that.
So when he comes in and says, this guy is honest as the day is long, to me that means, oh, we just both have the same propaganda goals.
That's all he's saying.
jordan holmes
Anyway, we're gonna get to- That's him looking and being like, dude, I love this guy's lies!
dan friesen
We have one more clip- This guy's lies are so good!
We have one more clip of Mike Zullo, again, spelling out very clearly and very overtly that he doesn't know anything.
There's no information that he has, and in this clip, he even lets slip that he can't even confirm that anybody was ever wiretapped, which is kind of unfortunate for the outrageous claims he's trying to make.
mike zullo
Well, on Sheriff Arpaio's account, if the timeline, and I'm going by memory, so I'm not going to give you dates, but my understanding is this alleged wiretapping, and you have to understand, I have to say alleged because we can't verify it, but the alleged wiretapping...
alex jones
Just like you see a duck swimming around a pond, but you haven't gotten it for DNA testing, you can't say that's a duck.
It looks like a mallard has a green head, it's got...
It's got orange seed.
It's eating moss off the bottom.
It's swimming around.
jordan holmes
Tell us more about what a deck is like.
mike zullo
And this is when they were pursuing Sheriff Arpaio under a criminal charge.
That criminal case was dropped.
And at the same time, the individuals that were propelling that case moved over to a private law firm.
And then out of the clear blue, a civil proceeding ensued.
dan friesen
This is talking about Covington and Burling.
Again, this is basically what we covered earlier.
jordan holmes
Code factories.
dan friesen
But also, let's be clear.
Alex is trying to say that if you don't have DNA testing, you can't prove it's a duck.
The expression is, if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's a duck.
So he's going the other direction with a duck metaphor, which I think is fascinating.
jordan holmes
I love it.
dan friesen
But also, again...
jordan holmes
I love his...
I love the idea that he walks around with his son in the middle of a forest being like...
Hey, that's a deer.
Hold on one second.
We're going to need a blood sample.
dan friesen
Hey, son, fucking prove it.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Prove that's a duck, you son of a bitch.
jordan holmes
I caught a trout.
Fuck you.
dan friesen
And also it shows that Alex Jones has a higher standard of proof about what is a duck than anything else he talks about on his show.
It's like his standard of evidence is glaring.
So we're going to leave Mike Zulo now.
That has been...
I don't necessarily have a ton against Mike Zullo, except to say that I found evidence in an article.
jordan holmes
He's part of the Joe Arpaio thing.
I hope he gets hit by a truck.
dan friesen
Sure, that's enough.
jordan holmes
Done and done.
Sold!
dan friesen
From the Phoenix New Times, I did find an article about the case against Arpaio, and it's interesting that Mike Zullo was called to testify, and he...
Invoked the Fifth Amendment.
jordan holmes
What a shocker.
dan friesen
He pleaded the Fifth against self-incrimination in court, which means...
I mean, you're not always guilty when you plead the Fifth, but in this case, it does seem to imply if he wants to go out there publicly and talk about how there's a railroading case being done, it seems to imply if you're in court, you'd want to provide the evidence and go over this.
If you plead the Fifth, it kind of means that you're afraid of what might come out.
jordan holmes
I would argue oppositely.
My advice to anyone who is under any kind of trial, do not say a goddamn word.
dan friesen
I agree with that.
jordan holmes
That's my advice.
Now, whether or not he's guilty, he's guilty.
And whether or not he should be in jail, he should be.
And all of those things, that's fine.
But I do think it is smart to not say a goddamn thing to the cops.
unidentified
Ladies and gentlemen, if there's one thing I can tell you...
jordan holmes
Don't snitch.
dan friesen
No snitching.
So at this point, we transition our investigation and we go to how Alex ended the week.
He had this gentleman who's come up a couple times, Larry Clayman, as a guest on the Friday episode of the show.
Meanwhile, throughout the week, he was yelling about this evidence and how it proved everything that he's been saying is correct this whole time.
They have a database that has me and Trump in it.
So now he has Larry Klayman as a guest.
Here is the introduction of how he brings him into the show.
jordan holmes
And the world's greatest claymation artist of the world, Larry the Klayman!
alex jones
Exposing there is spying going on against the president and against Congress.
It's been in the news for years.
The CIA spying on the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Now they've come out and Congressman Nunes has said, no, I've talked to the experts, and a little bird told me one of the experts might be joining us on air, but I'm going to leave it at that.
Here, Ian, just a moment, Larry Klayman, legendary Larry Klayman.
jordan holmes
Yeah, but was the bird a duck?
dan friesen
We can't prove it without DNA testing.
jordan holmes
We can't prove what little bird it was.
dan friesen
But here's where we get into where this is extra murky.
jordan holmes
Could have been a swan.
dan friesen
When Devin Nunes presented this new evidence.
jordan holmes
That he got from Trump.
dan friesen
No, he didn't.
jordan holmes
Oh, he didn't.
dan friesen
He got it from Larry Klayman.
jordan holmes
Larry Klayman?
dan friesen
That's what Alex just said.
And in this interview, Larry Klayman says as much.
jordan holmes
Do we have any evidence that Larry Klayman would have talked to him at all?
dan friesen
Only based on Larry's word and speculation on this episode.
But I do believe it in some ways.
Because the history does bear out.
There is...
Look, I can't prove that these liars aren't always lying.
But...
jordan holmes
Oh, only.
If only.
dan friesen
But based on Larry Klayman's telling of it, he had been trying to get this information to Devin Nunez for quite a while and succeeded recently.
So, all of this stuff where Trump feels like he's been...
jordan holmes
I sent him a fax.
I wrote it on the back of that fax.
dan friesen
On typewriter.
jordan holmes
I typewrote a fax.
I threw a paper airplane in the direction of D.C. I have been doing everything I can to get this information to Nunes.
dan friesen
Again, that's Montgomery, not Clayman.
jordan holmes
Yes, but as we can establish, those are the only forms of communication that Alex Jones and his ilk respect.
dan friesen
One thing that's important to lay out here is that Larry Clayman is Dennis Montgomery's lawyer now.
The former lawyer called him a con artist habitually engaged in fraud.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
Now, Larry Clayman is his lawyer.
The two of them met through Joe Arpaio when Joe Arpaio was being represented by Larry Klayman and Dennis Montgomery was the confidential informant.
jordan holmes
So we're having a wonderful romantic comedy right now.
dan friesen
This is the meet cue.
jordan holmes
This is what this is.
They meet each other right next to a water fountain.
Accidentally bump into each other.
Turns into a love triangle.
dan friesen
We take a slight break from all of this information that we've been laying out.
In Larry Klayman's introduction, Alex Jones realizes that you've got to pay the bills.
alex jones
Now we've got Larry Klayman on, who's just had so many victories against globalists.
Won the big case against the NSA to help expose the stuff that was going on years ago.
The only case out there where we've had a victory.
We're going to be talking to him in just a moment.
First off, we're Lister supported.
If you don't buy the products, first off, you're crazy.
We have the best high-quality toothpaste back in that's organic, fluoride-free, with loyal silver and the iodine, the tea tree, the peppermint, all of it.
Super blue.
I'm my dad, a dentist and oral surgeon, and manufacturer.
It's the biggest manufacturer in the country.
jordan holmes
Who never gave me enough love.
alex jones
It's somebody of Maine's.
We can't contractually tell you who's our private labeling, but this is as iodine, loyal silver added to it.
dan friesen
So, right there, I think he might have just breached his contract.
I mean, that's not fair to Tom's of Maine.
The contract says you can't say who made it.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly!
dan friesen
He just did.
jordan holmes
We're not contractually allowed to say that it was Tom's of Maine who made it.
Oh, shit!
God damn it!
dan friesen
Whoops, I fucked up there.
So, I mean, I don't know.
jordan holmes
I mean, Maine's of Tom.
dan friesen
I've not reviewed their contract, so I certainly don't know.
I'm sure it's online.
So, here we go.
Alex Jones now gets into the full-on bio of Larry Klayman, and I'll be back in a moment.
alex jones
So Larry Klayman joins us, went over his whole bio.
It would take too long, but everybody knows who Larry Klayman is.
dan friesen
No one knows who Larry Klayman is.
jordan holmes
He is a duck.
dan friesen
No one knows who Larry Klayman is, and he doesn't go over his bio, so I will.
Would you like to know some fun facts about Larry Klayman?
unidentified
Yeah, sure.
dan friesen
Following Clayman's behavior in a 1992 trial in California federal court, Judge William Keller barred Clayman from his courtroom for life.
Hold on.
jordan holmes
Is it a Chuck E. Cheese?
What is happening?
dan friesen
Hold on.
Five years later, in a separate case in New York, Clayman's behavior led then-district judge Dennis Chin, I'm sorry, Denny Chin, to issue a lifetime ban on the attorney practicing law before him.
jordan holmes
Well, Denny Chin sounds like he's in the mafia, though.
Two judges.
Hey, it's Denny Chin!
He's over here!
dan friesen
Two federal judges have barred him from practicing law in front of him for life.
Klayman has written about his dealings with- Can you even do that?
Yeah, you can.
jordan holmes
Is that a thing you can just do?
You can.
If you're a judge, you can just be like, nope!
dan friesen
Never again!
It's essentially an extreme version of holding someone in contempt.
You can, absolutely.
jordan holmes
Do you at least get to say he's out of order first?
dan friesen
Of course, you bang the gavel.
jordan holmes
Oh, you have to, yeah.
dan friesen
So Klayman has written about his dealings with Keller and Chin, claiming that Keller acted, quote, erratic, and was, quote, obviously drunk at the bench.
I don't believe you.
jordan holmes
That's awesome.
dan friesen
I don't believe you.
jordan holmes
That's the best way.
dan friesen
In 2007, Clayman received a $25,000 retainer from a Daytona Beach woman facing criminal charges, and she accused him of not providing legal services in return.
The Florida Bar Association mediated the matter, and Clayman agreed to pay off a small portion within 90 days.
But after that deadline- Did he pay off that 90 days?
After that deadline passed, he didn't pay, he was reprimanded by the association.
jordan holmes
That was it?
dan friesen
Yep.
jordan holmes
They were just like, hey, hey!
dan friesen
Dude.
jordan holmes
Stop it.
dan friesen
Bro.
jordan holmes
No, you don't have to pay her, but come on!
dan friesen
He has filed at least 18 lawsuits against the Clintons, raging from accusations of racketeering to a bunch of shit about Benghazi.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
In the wake of the 2016 shooting of a Dallas police officer, or multiple police officers, excuse me, Clayman filed a lawsuit against Obama, former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, the Nation of Islam's leader Louis Farrakhan, Al Sharpton...
unidentified
Wait.
dan friesen
And some founders of Black Lives Matter movement alleging they had, quote, incited a race war that led to the shooting.
Clayman amended the complaint to include Dallas police officer, who was shot, as the plaintiff, and Hillary Clinton and George Soros as defendants.
jordan holmes
And funnily enough, I mean, this is super weird, but I'm reading off your screen, former San Antonio Spurs star Tim Duncan.
I don't know how he got in there, but he is part of the conspiracy.
dan friesen
I think Clayman just wanted to meet him.
He wanted to autograph him.
Yeah.
It's implied that case was dismissed.
jordan holmes
Oh, it was?
Who would have guessed?
dan friesen
I'm going to list off a lot of cases, and all of them have been dismissed.
jordan holmes
All of them have been dismissed?
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Can you just keep doing that?
dan friesen
Yeah, apparently.
jordan holmes
Like, nobody's going to stop you?
dan friesen
Apparently.
It takes a lot to get disbarred.
jordan holmes
What even is being a lawyer, if you can just do that?
Does he have...
Is anybody paying him for this?
dan friesen
Also, James Carville, the raging Cajun, called him like a jackass or something like that.
jordan holmes
Well, yeah.
Somebody had to.
dan friesen
In 1998, Clayman sued his mother for $50,000.
Did he win?
Seeking reimbursement for medical care provided to his maternal grandmother.
After Clayman's brother told Newsweek magazine of the lawsuit, Clayman alleged that the Clinton White House was responsible for the magazine acquiring the information.
Nope, it was your brother.
jordan holmes
That's a stretch.
That's a stretch.
dan friesen
He was unsuccessful.
jordan holmes
So he's just an insane person.
dan friesen
In October 2014, Clayman sued the Obama administration, claiming it secretly allowed the Ebola virus to enter the United States.
jordan holmes
No, that one I believe.
dan friesen
So it could be used against Americans of the, quote, Caucasian race and Jewish Christian religion.
jordan holmes
Can't imagine any other possible explanation.
I think he's right on with that one.
dan friesen
In 2010, he sued to try and block the, quote, Ground Zero mosque.
He was involved in that.
jordan holmes
Love those lies.
dan friesen
In February 2015, Clayman filed a defamation suit on behalf of Dennis Montgomery, who we discussed.
jordan holmes
So is he just like a divorce lawyer?
What does he do during the day?
dan friesen
I think he's a media whore.
jordan holmes
Well, yeah, but I mean, he's gotta have a...
dan friesen
He is a legit lawyer.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I know, but what does he do?
dan friesen
He's probably a sleazy lawyer who...
I don't know.
Who knows?
Listen.
jordan holmes
Is he an ambulance chaser?
Is he like, okay, I'm going to sue Obama, but right after I get you this settlement on your car crash, listen, show up in a cast.
dan friesen
I mean, probably.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's a better call Saul type of guy.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I bet he's pretty great at it, too.
He's an inveterate liar, and he's super good at that.
dan friesen
So here's where he dovetails a little bit with Dennis Montgomery.
He filed a defamation lawsuit on behalf of Dennis Montgomery against...
any price, greed, power, and the endless war.
The lawsuit alleged that Ryzen falsely described Montgomery as, quote, the maestro behind what many current and former U.S. officials believe was the most elaborate and dangerous hoaxes in American history.
This is that software we discussed earlier that alleged to be able to predict terrorist attacks that was based on nothing.
jordan holmes
That's such a solid bullshitting.
dan friesen
But Dennis Montgomery...
jordan holmes
How do you get to be that good of a con man that you can just make that shit up?
I don't know.
And it couldn't have even looked...
That's the thing about computers.
dan friesen
I don't think he would possibly have been able to show the software to anybody.
jordan holmes
He wrote a fake software thing, but because people don't have that computer savvy, they're willing to be taken in by it.
dan friesen
Yep.
jordan holmes
They're just like, oh, this is why we can't have old people in power anymore.
They don't even...
We can't do it.
Nope.
They don't even live in the world we live in anymore, right?
dan friesen
They're unaware.
jordan holmes
The DNC hacking was not some sort of complicated movie hacking.
It was Podesta clicked on a fucking link.
That's all it was.
There's no real hacking going on like what people think it is.
It's just these guys are idiots.
dan friesen
The hack itself was the least sophisticated part of it.
The bot farms and stuff like that is far more complicated.
jordan holmes
That's amazing.
That's really good stuff.
But again, all of this...
Because the people that we have in power are old and out of touch and pointless.
Sure.
dan friesen
Let me get through Larry Clayman's bio here, because Alex refuses to get through the bio.
jordan holmes
Oh, we're still there?
dan friesen
There's more.
jordan holmes
Well, you know what?
Alex was right in saying that he did not have time to get through that bio.
unidentified
No, he didn't.
dan friesen
We do.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
So, Clayman, on behalf of Dennis Montgomery, files this lawsuit of defamation.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
In 2016, in July, a federal court dismissed that lawsuit.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
It was appealed, as I understand, and that appeal was denied.
jordan holmes
That's kind of like, I believe, Marie Le Pen, the French prime ministerial candidate.
dan friesen
The fascist lawsuit?
jordan holmes
Yeah, she is legally a fascist, according to the law.
You can and will call her a fascist.
That's a great lawsuit.
dan friesen
There's two sides of that lawsuit.
One part of it is that she is legally a fascist.
But then the other side of it is that one of the judge's findings was that you can't consider it defamation when you're in a political sphere.
Just describing someone's political beliefs isn't defamation if there is...
Credibility to her.
jordan holmes
All I want to hear is that in a court of law, she is a fascist.
dan friesen
Larry Klayman filed at least three lawsuits claiming that Obama was not eligible to be president because his birth certificate was fake.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
He tried to defend Cliven Bundy as his lawyer.
jordan holmes
Good work.
dan friesen
As we all know, Cliven Bundy is a crazy person.
unidentified
Yep.
jordan holmes
As is Larry Klayman.
dan friesen
He tried to be...
jordan holmes
As is...
Montgomery?
dan friesen
He tried to be Cliven Bundy's lawyer, but the judge ruled that Clayman had been dishonest about his history of being censured and disciplined by past courts, and he had no clearance or standing to assign himself as someone else's lawyer.
So he was...
jordan holmes
So one, that means Cliven Bundy did not want his help at all.
dan friesen
Probably not.
jordan holmes
And two, I would actually go the opposite direction where the judge was like...
Jesus, man, you said you have been censured more than you actually have.
Why are you claiming to have been censured by 20 judges?
It was just a couple.
dan friesen
I'm a victim.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
On October 13th, 2013, during the U.S. government shutdown, Clayman declared at a conservative rally in Washington, D.C. that, quote, This president is not a president of we the people.
He's a president of his people.
Whoops.
jordan holmes
That's probably racially charged.
dan friesen
racist.
unidentified
He urged the crowd to begin a, quote, second American nonviolent revolution and demanded that President Obama, quote, put the Koran down and figuratively come out with his Weeks later...
Hey!
jordan holmes
Put the Koran down and get some chicken in you.
Jesus Christ, you need to eat.
dan friesen
Weeks later, Klayman sponsored a, quote, Reclaim America rally in Lafayette Square across from the White House, calling for the president's removal.
Klayman stated that if Obama did...
jordan holmes
When was the first American non-violent revolution?
dan friesen
I can't think of one.
jordan holmes
I think we've had a lot more of the non-violent revolutions.
dan friesen
Klayman stated that if Obama did not resign, conservative activists would meet to establish a, quote, shadow government.
Whoops!
Bad use of terms.
Considering that now all they talk about is how there's a shadow government.
He's threatening to create one.
jordan holmes
Yeah!
dan friesen
Anyway.
jordan holmes
I would like to see him try.
I want to get invited to those meetings.
dan friesen
Clayman had encouraged, quote, millions to occupy Washington, D.C., but reported attendance to his rally was between 130 and 200 people.
So, not great.
Also...
They're going to talk about this, and Alex already referenced it a little bit.
He won a court case about...
jordan holmes
So we're talking about his win.
We're not talking about his many and varied and magnificent losses.
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
We're going to talk about his win.
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
Okay, good.
dan friesen
He had a court case called Clayman v.
Obama, where he was trying to contest the legality of bulk collection of phone and internet metadata.
jordan holmes
Good!
That's a good one.
dan friesen
We can agree that a lot of that shit is dubious.
Like, a lot of that stuff is pretty fucked up.
jordan holmes
A lot of it is illegal.
dan friesen
It's pretty fucked up.
jordan holmes
A lot of it is horrifying and a police state and so on and so forth.
dan friesen
So he brought this case in front of a judge.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
And the judge...
jordan holmes
And the judge did not laugh at him?
dan friesen
Here come the judge.
jordan holmes
Did the judge not fucking Google him?
This is why we can't have old people.
If you're a judge and you Google this fucking guy, wouldn't you just be like, no, get it, go, go.
Go!
unidentified
Go!
jordan holmes
And then you would be...
The judge would have a broom and just like shoo him out of the courtroom, right?
dan friesen
Like it's the Apollo?
jordan holmes
If you can Google, that's what you should do.
dan friesen
So it was in 2013, and U.S. federal judge Richard J. Leon, he ruled that bulk collection of American telephone metadata likely violates the Constitution.
jordan holmes
Agreed.
dan friesen
He had insanely legitimate concerns about how...
This program could violate people's Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable search and seizure.
jordan holmes
And it does, and it should be stopped.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
And it was.
dan friesen
Well, yeah.
jordan holmes
Or publicly it was stopped.
dan friesen
Right.
And that actually comes into the ruling.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Because it was ended before this case.
jordan holmes
Way before that.
dan friesen
But, so he rules in favor of Clayman and the guy whose last name is Strange, which is kind of fun.
They were the two defendants, or plaintiffs.
I can't remember.
jordan holmes
And the original trial was held in the Astroplane.
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
That makes sense.
dan friesen
So they brought this case, and the judge agreed with the arguments that metadata collection violates the Fourth Amendment.
jordan holmes
Bulk metadata.
dan friesen
But what he did in his ruling was to say, I suspend my judgment for six months to allow the government to appeal.
Because the government is going to appeal this.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So in his ruling, he said that he made an injunction that any metadata collection regarding Strange or Clayman had to stop, and every bit of information that had been collected about them had to be destroyed, but he stayed his ruling for six months, allowing So what he means is that during that six months, they can still collect their metadata.
No.
jordan holmes
Maybe.
No, if he's suspending his ruling, that means that nothing has to change for the next six months.
dan friesen
If the government doesn't respond, then the ruling stands.
unidentified
Exactly.
dan friesen
Well, the government did respond.
jordan holmes
What a shocker.
dan friesen
And basically, the appeals court found that because the program had been ended, they didn't have a responsibility to rule on the legality of the Fourth Amendment claims.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
Secondarily, they found that there's no evidence that could be provided So, even though the government did collect bulk metadata because they couldn't prove their metadata was collected, they're kicked out.
jordan holmes
And they can't represent the entirety of the American people.
dan friesen
Part of their argument was that they are Verizon customers and that the government had admitted that they collected Verizon metadata.
jordan holmes
So, most likely their metadata was collected.
dan friesen
Hold on.
The government admitted that they collected business data through Verizon.
Like, Verizon business customers.
Not individual UNI cell phone owners.
They collected things through a different part of Verizon's business.
Now, I admit, this is dubious.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I don't like that.
I don't like that defense at all.
dan friesen
I think it's sketchy as fuck.
But, I do think that based on the law, and based on...
Like, I'm telling you.
I read these court decisions.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I know, because you're a lunatic.
dan friesen
And I don't think that the decisions were wrong.
I think the appeals court was right.
He didn't have the standing, but at the same time, the conclusion is correct, that metadata collection is an unreasonable search and seizure.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
So he was right.
jordan holmes
And they probably stopped it.
Wink, wink.
dan friesen
Well, I think it has, in a lot of ways.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I don't know.
alex jones
I don't know.
dan friesen
Who cares?
jordan holmes
I just don't trust him.
dan friesen
Based on all the information we can find, it has stopped.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
Based on what we're afraid is actually the truth, it hasn't.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So anyway, Larry Klayman is right on that count.
He had the right idea.
He's wrong about everything else.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
His claims that he beat the NSA in a court case is wrong.
He had a case where they agreed with him, or they were inclined to agree with him, suspended judgment, and then the appeals court shot it down.
Anyway.
Let's get into it.
Let's enjoy this.
jordan holmes
You're so tired.
You're exhausting yourself.
dan friesen
I'm spent.
jordan holmes
This is the most work I think any human being has ever done.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Here's where this next clip is where Larry Klayman...
jordan holmes
I love sitting on this side of the table.
dan friesen
This clip, Larry Klayman tries to do a little bit of a dance where he has to be sure that he has not seen any of the information.
He's this guy's lawyer, but he hasn't seen any of it.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
We, on Sunday, via some other folks that work with us, published some things that have been out there in federal court showing that Trump was being surveilled.
Clayman is separate from that.
He's not involved in that.
He was involved, though, getting that CIA whistleblower basically to come forward.
And so he's been trying in the system for a long time to do this.
He's also the guy that has won against the Supreme Court.
So he's separate from that, but from a different angle.
Newsmax.com, he also has had his...
Articles and things published there.
dan friesen
I apologize.
That was Alex trying not to implicate himself and Larry in the dance.
So, you're right.
I am exhausted.
It's been a long weekend.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
So, here is Larry breaking down what he sees as Montgomery's case.
unidentified
Yes.
alex jones
I've kind of prefaced things.
Correct where I'm wrong.
Whatever.
Just let's get into the meat and potatoes.
Of a classified case you're involved in that's dangerous to get into, but really is a Rosetta Stone or a Skeleton Key to so much.
larry klayman
Yes, this is important because Dennis Montgomery is really kind of the successor to Mr. Benny, who he just had on.
And I take my hat off to Mr. Benny as well.
I actually represented him for a while going back as a whistleblower.
dan friesen
He had Benny, the technical head of the NSA.
Oh, okay.
jordan holmes
I got you.
dan friesen
As we know, he spouted a bunch of bullshit.
Also, on this episode, he had as a guest some guy whose nickname is Tonto Speranto.
jordan holmes
I don't like any of those words you just said!
dan friesen
He's a guy who survived the Benghazi attack.
jordan holmes
Tonto Speranto.
dan friesen
He's the hero of Benghazi.
And he was, you know what, he came off as fairly reasonable but also pretty aggressive.
And at the end of the interview he said like, hey, you know what, if people are afraid, like if they want to arrest George Soros and they're afraid, I'll do it.
I'll go in, I'll do it.
So Alex later uses that as like...
He's like, hey, Tonto Speranto was on.
He said he's ready to arrest George Soros.
He's like, well, that's not quite what he said.
He just said, if you're afraid and we should arrest him, I'll go in and do it.
I'm a Marine.
And so he's like, he thinks that he should be arrested.
He's ready to go do it himself.
jordan holmes
Is Tonto Speranto a real Marine?
dan friesen
Yeah, he survived Benghazi.
jordan holmes
Do we know that?
unidentified
I don't.
dan friesen
Why would he?
No, I do.
There's a movie about him.
Like, he's a real dude.
jordan holmes
Oh, he's a real dude.
dan friesen
I can't remember his...
jordan holmes
He survived Benghazi.
dan friesen
I can't remember...
jordan holmes
And now he's going on Alex Jones' show?
dan friesen
I can't remember his first name, but he goes by Tonto.
jordan holmes
Well, I'm against him.
dan friesen
I'll be honest, he seemed like a pretty decent dude as far as Alex Jones' guests go.
jordan holmes
Yeah, but that's a low, low, low bar.
He has probably been kicked out of only one court and never allowed to be there.
dan friesen
And four Applebee's.
So, in this day, he's had Tonto on, he's had Richard Benny, William Benny, I can't remember his first name now, he's the technical head of the NSA.
It was mostly Muslim baiting stuff.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
And then now he has Larry Klayman on, so that's who he was referring to in that.
jordan holmes
We've had a lot of guests recently.
dan friesen
He has to, man.
He's scrambling.
jordan holmes
Yeah, wow.
dan friesen
He's scrambling.
jordan holmes
Also, you can kind of hear it in his voice.
He doesn't have the fire.
dan friesen
He's losing it a little bit.
jordan holmes
He doesn't have the heart.
dan friesen
I don't know.
Maybe next week will be different.
You know, this week he started with the...
At the end of the week that we're covering right now, which was last week when you're listening, he did his big Pizzagate apology.
Maybe that could reinvigorate him a little bit.
We'll see.
But anyway, here we go.
Back to Clayman.
larry klayman
But Dennis Montgomery was an NSA-CIA contractor, and he left the NSA and CIA with 47 hard drives.
Over 600 million pages of information, much of it classified.
dan friesen
Again, the only evidence we can find of him being a contractor at all is creating that software that analyzes Al Jazeera.
It's questionable whether in that capacity he would have access at all to 47 hard drives or 600 million documents.
If he did have all those things...
That's pretty crazy, and he must have been going way outside of his way in order to get those things, which, I mean, is massively illegal.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
But, I don't know.
jordan holmes
It's all the bad things.
dan friesen
It's all the bad things.
And so here we go.
This next clip is Larry Klayman coming in, much like Mike Zulo, and really trying hard to make sure that people don't think that he's seen the documents.
larry klayman
And I felt that we needed to take him to...
Sources in government who could do something that could listen to what he had to say, because much of it's classified, I can't see it, and we needed to put it in the right hands.
So I went to a federal judge by his name.
alex jones
Let's be clear, you had it, but you wouldn't look at it.
larry klayman
I didn't look at it.
He had it.
He had the 47 hard drives I never took possession of.
alex jones
60 million pages.
600 million.
unidentified
He committed a crime.
larry klayman
600 million pages.
jordan holmes
I didn't.
larry klayman
And what he told me what was on there was that there was surveillance on the Chief Justice of the United States.
Other justices, 156 judges, President Trump when he was a businessman, other prominent businessmen, and yours truly.
jordan holmes
Oprah Winfrey.
dan friesen
So let's take a second and take a step back.
The only time that he could have possibly had access to NSA CIA documents is around the period of 2003.
when he was involved and was massively discredited.
Yeah.
unidentified
He was thrown out with prejudice.
dan friesen
Yeah.
unidentified
The FBI did a counter-investigation on him and found to be a fraud.
dan friesen
There's no way he would ever be able to get any sort of clear I'm listening.
jordan holmes
Jazira Software was in fact a Trojan horse.
Interesting.
unidentified
Have you considered this?
Right?
So, like Captain...
jordan holmes
Captain America.
S.H.I.E.L.D.
I'm listening.
Which is the other one?
dan friesen
The acronym?
The Avengers?
jordan holmes
No, no, no.
The bad guys.
HYDRA.
Cobra.
dan friesen
You're talking about G.I. Joe now.
jordan holmes
HYDRA.
unidentified
Okay.
jordan holmes
From the very beginning.
From the very beginning, because the Al Jazeera software was on there, Montgomery has pinpoint accurate information from every level of government because he is actually the guy who originated all of it.
dan friesen
See, now Occam's razor tells me you're right.
jordan holmes
I don't like...
dan friesen
Simplest explanation, obviously.
jordan holmes
Yeah, obviously that's the one.
dan friesen
But the point is, he can't possibly have information stolen past that date.
In the early 2010s, he's working with Joe Arpaio, and he has this database of Maricopa County residents that are being victims of bank frauds, which is now being repurposed.
including Trump, Alex Jones, all this shit.
jordan holmes
Well, before we even go any further, 600 million sounds so fucking made up.
Where do you get 600 million documents?
I don't know.
Genuinely, what, what area of the government other than maybe that bulk metadata collection system would have anything close to 600 million anything?
And even if it was the bulk metadata, that's not documents.
That's just point by point, GPS location or that kind of shit.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
So where would you get 600 million documents?
dan friesen
And it would be, like I said, from 14 years ago.
jordan holmes
Yeah, and I mean, like, is there even that much information in the fucking Library of Congress?
dan friesen
Probably not.
jordan holmes
Like, in the archives of all the stuff!
dan friesen
Yeah, I don't know.
jordan holmes
600 million is amazing!
He might as well have said one kajillion.
I have one kajillion documents.
dan friesen
Might as well have.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's obvious bullshit.
dan friesen
And again, an important point is that Larry Klayman is coming out as a lawyer being on Alex Jones' program to discuss this stuff.
jordan holmes
Well, for legal reasons, he is coming on as a private citizen.
dan friesen
But he only has secondary knowledge of.
He has no idea what's actually in these documents.
jordan holmes
Because it's illegal for him to know what's on in the documents.
dan friesen
Exactly.
It's much like Roger Stone saying his doctor said he had polonium poisoning.
They can't refute that.
unidentified
It's illegal for them to refute that.
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's these same games that are so...
It's propaganda games.
jordan holmes
Even then, right?
You got 600 million documents.
You're not going to take a look at one?
Come on, man.
dan friesen
I don't know.
jordan holmes
You got to take a look at one.
You got to get a taste of the Coke to make sure that it's real.
dan friesen
I'd be so scared.
jordan holmes
Right?
dan friesen
I'd be...
jordan holmes
You don't...
dan friesen
I'd probably run away.
jordan holmes
You do not.
Well, yeah, that's why you don't buy my drugs.
dan friesen
Dennis Montgomery comes up to me.
I scream and run the other direction.
I don't want any of these 47 hard drives.
jordan holmes
As everybody knows, you take your Coke pinky nail, you put it into the Coke, you make sure that the Coke is high quality.
dan friesen
So, at this next clip.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
This next clip is Clayman confirming that he did, in fact, discuss things with Devin Nunez.
larry klayman
Chairman Nunes last Monday said, come forward with information.
And that's what we've done.
And we've told them.
alex jones
I'm glad you said that because I have other sources.
You're one of six sources Nunes has, including NSA, CIA.
You're an outside source that corroborated what he was already being told.
He obviously didn't know all this, but they stonewall in the agencies.
But now they have whistleblowers because it's the president.
They're lying about him, so they should do this.
Coming forward, and so now Nunes is thanks to you and others able to say this.
dan friesen
Either all of this is just fantasy world lies and all that, or there's a possibility that he did, in fact, talk to Nunez.
Which is even more terrifying.
And that's where he got a lot of this information that has led to this very confusing period in our history where Nunez is acting up and certainly not acting as the House Intelligence Committee chairman should.
jordan holmes
No, he should be fucking destroyed.
dan friesen
And if he is acting, in fact, on this information that has its roots in someone who is a complete con man engaged in habitual fraud, like Dennis Montgomery.
jordan holmes
Even then, Nunes himself came on again and said that documents show no indication of wiretap on Trump Tower.
So Nunes himself walked back all of this bullshit.
dan friesen
I think it's like a zigzag of Nunes being shook.
Because there was that thing that came out the other day about Flynn, the meetings that he had with the Turkish ambassador about extraditing this Gulen guy who Erdogan wants to be extradited because Erdogan believes that this cleric...
unidentified
Was responsible for the fake coup.
jordan holmes
We can't prove that the coup attempt was fake.
dan friesen
I'm pretty sure.
jordan holmes
It was totally fake.
dan friesen
So he wants this guy extradited, and the United States does not believe it would be appropriate, and Flynn was being paid to help extradite this guy.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
It came out that the meeting between Flynn and the Turkish ambassador was also attended by Devin Nunes.
He was also there.
jordan holmes
Really?
dan friesen
Yes.
unidentified
So, he might be complicit.
jordan holmes
Because now we have information that maybe Flynn has turned state's evidence.
dan friesen
Yeah, at this point, on Sunday when we're recording this, it's still not sure.
jordan holmes
Nobody's confirmed it.
dan friesen
Anything could come out any day, but there's indications and sources, anonymous sources are indicating that he might have cut a deal.
jordan holmes
Which, again, I, you know.
Anonymous sources are anonymous sources.
dan friesen
Take it with a grain of salt.
jordan holmes
Fucking Alex Jones has anonymous sources, so that doesn't mean anything.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
But the timeline kind of suggests that maybe this is a possibility.
dan friesen
Yeah.
It's possible.
It's not proven.
It's not definite.
jordan holmes
And the hard part to...
The only part that's hard to swallow about him turning states' evidence is if you look at all of this shit, everybody would go down.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
So either there's genuinely...
The entire government gets taken down from top to bottom.
dan friesen
Not everyone.
jordan holmes
Not everyone, but like a shit ton of people in power.
dan friesen
A whole lot of the right.
jordan holmes
Or it's not as big a deal as we think it is.
Or it's somewhere in between.
dan friesen
It's hard to say.
I think the truth is probably somewhere in between.
jordan holmes
And it's insane.
dan friesen
But the reality is that all that stuff that we can't prove...
We can prove that Nunez was in that meeting with Flynn and the Turkish ambassador.
And that doesn't look good.
jordan holmes
Nunes is in the fucking balls of Trump.
That's what it is.
dan friesen
And...
jordan holmes
Nunes is given handies with a little bit of prostate stimulation to Trump every possible chance he can.
dan friesen
And there is that documentation of him disappearing the night before he went to the White House.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Apparently meeting with somebody.
Like, there's a lot of stuff that's real fucked up.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So...
jordan holmes
No, the entire American government should be shut down for a while.
Like, nobody should be allowed to do anything.
dan friesen
My thought is that I don't think he was meeting with Larry Klayman that night, but some of that stuff does relate to this Montgomery.
jordan holmes
I think he was actually meeting with Larry Flint that night.
dan friesen
It's possible.
jordan holmes
It's entirely possible.
dan friesen
Is he dead?
jordan holmes
He's dead.
dan friesen
I don't know.
jordan holmes
He's probably dead.
dan friesen
He's one of those guys who I don't care if he's alive or dead.
So I have no idea.
jordan holmes
He's done good works.
dan friesen
Great.
But what I'm saying is essentially that a lot of this stuff, Nunez's behavior, while not singularly motivated by this Montgomery information, which we've pretty clearly, I think, on this episode shown to be bullshit.
jordan holmes
I don't think it's possible to be much clearer that it's bullshit.
dan friesen
But I think that part of his behavior was influenced by Clayman and the Montgomery information.
Also, the conspiracy theory community is aflame.
There's a lot of, like on the blogs and on the message boards, there's a ton of stuff about, why are people investigating Montgomery?
I just did.
Suck it.
jordan holmes
Well, this is kind of even more interesting, is that...
Like, we denigrate the conspiracy theory blogs, and yet at the same time, it's hard not to look at reality and go, some kind of conspiracy is happening, or there's been such a confluence of idiots happening all at the same time in this weird coincidence.
And that's...
Almost as likely as anything else.
dan friesen
I think you...
jordan holmes
It's just as like with the Montgomery thing, right?
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
Those idiots believe that shit.
Like, it's just as likely what's going on right now is that everybody's just fucking stupid.
Or there's a fucking conspiracy pushed by Russia and all of this shit.
dan friesen
I think that you've touched on something important that I've been wanting to bring up for a while and I'll just deal with sort of slightly.
As we talk about how much of a liar Alex Jones is and all this stuff is bullshit, I don't want to paint with a broad brush all people who believe in conspiracy theories as the same.
There are a lot of people who are very smart and do real good research.
The idea that we would be denigrating the entire conspiracy community by attacking Alex Jones is unfair.
And I think that it's easy to make that assumption if we're not clear about it.
There's a lot of people who also believe Alex Jones is full of shit, but believe in conspiracies.
And God bless them!
There are those people.
jordan holmes
Hey, chemtrails gotta chem.
dan friesen
Sure.
But there are not stupid, crazy people in that world.
Unfortunately, there is a lot of stupid, crazy people in that world.
jordan holmes
And we fall somewhere in between.
dan friesen
Yes.
Yes, absolutely.
So this next clip is Larry Klayman explaining why this is a matter of...
Immediate importance.
This is something that has to be dealt with now or never.
jordan holmes
Exactly like how we need to finally get to the bottom of Obama's birth certificate.
Now or never.
dan friesen
And I will file three court cases about it.
alex jones
It's kind of time to go public, you know?
larry klayman
Well, yeah.
And we want to do it in the right way.
By bringing...
jordan holmes
On your show.
larry klayman
In front of people.
alex jones
But this is bigger than snow.
This is 600 million.
I know why you've been young.
larry klayman
Right, right.
Because there's so much there.
And here's the reality.
jordan holmes
My dick's bigger than your dick's no dick.
larry klayman
Montgomery could die as a brain aneurysm.
He needs to be interviewed immediately.
alex jones
For those that don't know, it's when the artery's puffing out, it can blow any time.
larry klayman
Put him under oath.
He's willing to come forward.
He's risked his life here.
dan friesen
This guy's a hero.
He's risked his life.
He's come forward.
jordan holmes
You know how a brain aneurysm works, right?
At any point in time, any of us could just die from a brain aneurysm.
dan friesen
I'm dead.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's a nonsense thing.
It's not like he has cancer.
He could die from a lightning strike at any moment.
He needs to be interviewed right now.
dan friesen
But again, it's just trying to create a sense of immediacy about it.
It's also trying to create sort of a tragic hero story around this obvious liar.
jordan holmes
What possible reason could you have to interview him now?
dan friesen
I'd like to interview him.
jordan holmes
That's a good point.
dan friesen
If we could get Dennis Montgomery on this podcast, I'm in.
jordan holmes
CC him on all of our emails.
dan friesen
Because I got a lot of questions.
A ton of fucking questions.
jordan holmes
What's your perfect Sunday, Mr. Montgomery?
dan friesen
That would be my first question.
jordan holmes
That would be our first question.
dan friesen
First date.
Bistro or movie?
Why did I say bistro?
jordan holmes
I have no idea!
dan friesen
I've never been to a bistro!
jordan holmes
What are you talking about?
dan friesen
You know what happened?
I legitimately think I flashed back to, like, French classes.
I think my brain just, like, snapped.
jordan holmes
Yeah, are you doing Before Midnight at us?
What is happening?
dan friesen
I love that movie.
jordan holmes
Oh, of course you do.
dan friesen
I also love Richard Linklater, which is so confusing that he puts Alex Jones in two of his movies.
Anyway, if Richard Linklater is out there, I'd love to talk to you, too.
jordan holmes
We're the next star fuckers.
dan friesen
I'd like to talk to you about how interesting Boyhood was, but it wasn't a good movie.
Anyway, this next clip, Larry Klayman gets into talking a little bit more about Montgomery himself and brings in the Joe Arpaio situation.
So enjoy it.
alex jones
There's no proof.
I looked him up.
But just a minute or two on Montgomery and why this is so important and where we think this database came from.
larry klayman
That's right, Dennis.
I mean, excuse me, Alex.
People have tried to destroy his credibility.
That's what they've done with President Trump from these agencies.
jordan holmes
And that's what they've done with Montgomery.
dan friesen
It's so easy.
jordan holmes
We have successfully done that.
dan friesen
It's so easy to destroy his credibility.
jordan holmes
We didn't even try to destroy his credibility.
I mean, you did.
dan friesen
All it took was like a couple Google searches.
jordan holmes
Again, Google.
dan friesen
And just a couple, like, just read a couple articles.
Like, it's not that hard.
You find this guy is a massive...
Snake oil salesman.
jordan holmes
He's a fraud!
dan friesen
And if he wasn't being used for propaganda purposes, I agree with you.
He would be fun.
jordan holmes
It would be fun.
dan friesen
It would be like, is he gonna make it?
jordan holmes
Is he gonna pull this off?
Yeah, there's always a part of me that's gonna be on the side of the guy trying to fuck with the FBI.
dan friesen
I think that there also is an archetype of that down-and-out, two-time loser, gambling loser kind of guy who's just trying to pull one last score.
jordan holmes
One big score that's gonna solve all of his problems.
dan friesen
As our culture, we're all ingrained to pull for that.
We all want to see the little guy strike out against the system.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And it's unfortunate.
That this little guy striking out against the system is being used propagandistically to support the system.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it seems like we all want a Robin Hood and they all wind up being not Robin Hood.
dan friesen
Well, it's Robin Hood who's working for the Sheriff of Nottingham, it turns out.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Yeah, that's all.
Anyway, here we go.
jordan holmes
The murderous, monstrous Sheriff of Nottingham.
dan friesen
You know what?
We gotta get back to sheriffs being the most important...
Anyway.
That fucking nonsense, the sheriff's movement, all that stuff, that's for another day.
jordan holmes
No, fuck everybody.
larry klayman
This reporter, this hack reporter, James Risen of the New York Times.
jordan holmes
Hack reporter.
dan friesen
That's the guy who wrote the book that involved the fraud that Montgomery pulled.
And again, Larry Klayman, as lawyer for Dennis Montgomery, sued this writer, was unsuccessful.
The case was thrown out of court.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
So now he's coming on Alex Jones and saying he's a hack reporter.
No, he's not.
You failed.
larry klayman
You know, smear him.
But that actually confirms that he is the guy that you need to talk to because he knows where the bodies are buried.
No pun intended.
alex jones
Is that a pun?
That's not a pun.
jordan holmes
That doesn't count as a pun.
larry klayman
And in terms of what happened out there in Arizona with Sheriff Arpaio, I represented in the successful amnesty case that knocked out Obama's immigration order.
Arpaio wasn't served well by his lawyers.
dan friesen
That didn't happen.
jordan holmes
That didn't happen.
larry klayman
With regard to...
Dennis Montgomery.
He somehow got dragged into that, which is why we're proceeding on a separate track.
And I sympathize with Sheriff Arpaio, and he's a great man.
alex jones
Yeah, I've talked to him.
He's staying out of this stuff.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
But Alex Jones, there's like, I've talked to him.
He's staying out of this.
jordan holmes
He's not staying out of this.
If you say Arpaio is a great man, I automatically wish for your death.
dan friesen
You lose all of your credibility.
jordan holmes
I automatically wish for your death.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Like, legit.
You do not belong in this world.
dan friesen
You 100% don't.
At least you're not in touch with your own humanity.
jordan holmes
You're a sociopath.
dan friesen
But then, Alex being like, I've talked to Arpaio, he's staying out of this.
jordan holmes
For good reason!
dan friesen
Arpaio said that Montgomery's investigation was junk.
jordan holmes
That's a good reason to stay out of it.
dan friesen
So now, I want to bring this back to this Phoenix News article that I was talking about earlier.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And I want to just play this out.
Again, remember, Young is the lawyer that's trying the case against Arpaio.
According to reports presented in court, in November 2014, two outside experts with experience with the NSA evaluated Montgomery's hard drives for the sheriff's office and concluded that Montgomery was, quote, a complete and total fraud.
Young brought this up in court to Arpaio.
Quote, at least by November 2014, you knew Dennis Montgomery was a fraud.
That's the question that Young asked.
Quote, that was putting it lightly, Arpaio said.
unidentified
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
dan friesen
That was putting it lightly, Arpaio said, noting they had been working Montgomery for a year at that point.
Quote, so we decided to stop paying him.
Young went on to present email records showing members of Arpaio's team were still in touch with Montgomery for months after that, into 2015.
Quote, How can you sustain that?
jordan holmes
I mean, it's leading.
Okay.
dan friesen
It's leading.
jordan holmes
Technically, that is leading.
Technically, that would be conjecture.
However, now I'm going to go with yes.
The answer is yes.
dan friesen
As humans, it's a fair question.
In court, it's dubious.
jordan holmes
Probably not.
Probably not.
dan friesen
So, after court, Masterson accused Young of insulting the sheriff.
Young reminded Arpaio that Judge Snow had asked him in April whether Montgomery had investigated Judge Snow.
And Arpaio never brought up the timelines, which again were the faxes with the weird typewriting on the back, or other documents Montgomery had investigated.
Quote, Quote, Quote, Maybe I should have brought it up, but it never came to my mind at that time, Arpaio said.
jordan holmes
Fuck you!
dan friesen
So the idea that Arpaio's staying out of it is really not really relevant.
He's admitted in court that this guy is a complete and total fraud, but also admitted that he kept working with him, or his department kept working with him after he was shown...
jordan holmes
Well, he's a genius.
dan friesen
Investigators evaluated his hard drives as a fraud.
jordan holmes
Now, this is, again, this is like the Marie Le Pen fascist situation.
You should be allowed to prove in court that Arpaio is an idiot.
I think it is a legal imperative.
dan friesen
The only reason I disagree is because...
It's irrelevant.
I don't think it's irrelevant.
If you were to bring a court case specifically designed to prove that he's an idiot, then it's relevant.
But because it's a contempt of court case, it's irrelevant to the matter at hand.
That's why the court has to dismiss Are You an Idiot?
Which I still love that the attorney...
jordan holmes
Although, in the eventual death penalty trial that Arpaio should be under, you probably shouldn't prove that he's an idiot unless you're in Texas, in which case you can still execute him.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So, at this point, Clayman...
jordan holmes
Once again, guys, you should execute Joe Arpaio.
dan friesen
I don't think he doesn't deserve it.
I'd like to see a court trial, though.
jordan holmes
Oh, man.
He should be executed.
dan friesen
I don't want any violence to happen to him except for sanctioned because of his actions.
jordan holmes
Don't believe in the death penalty.
Believe that he should be executed.
dan friesen
Again, I want to be clear that me and Jordan know a ton more than is on this podcast, and please look into Joe Arpaio's history.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It sounds like we're being severe based on what we've talked about in this podcast.
jordan holmes
Not even close.
dan friesen
Real talk, we had to edit some stuff out.
jordan holmes
I nearly cried.
unidentified
You did.
jordan holmes
I'm not joking.
I'm not joking.
dan friesen
And almost fainted.
jordan holmes
We had to pause.
I had to go outside and walk around.
dan friesen
Just based on how bad a dude this is.
jordan holmes
And he didn't even get halfway through that shit!
dan friesen
So please look into that.
Again, Arpaio's a monster.
But...
We have to get back to the matter at hand, which is this interview with Larry Klayman, where he insists that all his shit is credible.
And then beyond that, he goes to lay the blame for the Trump spying and all this shit on people who are no longer in office.
The current predicament is the fault of people who have not been involved for quite a while.
jordan holmes
Ah, shadow government!
alex jones
Well, that's what I, when I was weeks ago talking to Corsi, he talked to the White House, and so did I. They all know it's real, and we're like, get Montgomery in, or make a press conference, and then they're just like, we'll check, and I don't know what's going on, but I don't know why that hasn't happened.
larry klayman
Well, don't trust the intelligence agencies to give you the truth, because as Mr. Benny just said, they lie.
jordan holmes
I agree with that.
dan friesen
I want to be clear.
Generally, I agree.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's a generally true statement.
dan friesen
A lot of times, you've got to take things that intelligence agencies say with a grain of salt.
jordan holmes
If somebody says anonymous sources within the government, you should probably be aware that there is a reason those anonymous sources are sharing that information.
dan friesen
But sometimes...
jordan holmes
Generally, not to share the truth.
dan friesen
Sometimes it's manipulative.
Sometimes it is people protecting their confidentiality.
So, I mean, it goes both ways.
Sometimes it is legit.
Sometimes it's not.
jordan holmes
But you should definitely know in advance that there's a very...
I would say 70-30 manipulative.
dan friesen
The message, I think, that is most important is that intelligence communities do lie to people a lot of the time, but sometimes they don't.
jordan holmes
I mean, it's technically their job.
dan friesen
You should look for evidence.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
You should look for truth, as opposed to believing or disbelieving what things are said to you.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
Just take things as they come to you.
Look for facts.
Have a knowledge file.
unidentified
I've realized legitimately.
jordan holmes
Legitimately.
That was the smoothest you've ever been.
dan friesen
Legitimately, it's the wine.
jordan holmes
That's it.
dan friesen
We're drinking Storyteller wine.
jordan holmes
We are drinking Storyteller.
Yeah, you're right.
dan friesen
Legitimately, I'm getting to the point where I'm realizing that if I ever want this to take off, I'm going to have to start mimicking some of Alex Jones' behaviors.
So I'm going to start with, look for facts, you dumb fucks.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
But meanwhile, our listeners are really awesome and they're really cool.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I don't think that you guys are idiots.
Maybe a couple.
jordan holmes
Oh, Jesus!
dan friesen
No, I don't know.
jordan holmes
What's wrong with you?
dan friesen
Well, I'm just assuming we have like...
jordan holmes
Just like statistically, what are you trying to do?
dan friesen
The people that I've communicated with seem really awesome, but I gotta assume there's some dum-dums in there.
Listen, I'm...
jordan holmes
What are you doing right now?
dan friesen
This is the one.
jordan holmes
Guys, we've had a rough podcast from time to time.
Learn more about Joe Arpaio and you'll understand where we're coming from.
dan friesen
I've just blamed the wine for me being smooth and for me lashing out at hypothetical listeners.
This is great.
jordan holmes
And this is why we don't record on Wednesdays.
Wednesdays is Dan's therapy day.
dan friesen
Anyway, here we go.
Back to this where he blames Clapper and what have you.
jordan holmes
I'm sorry for putting your personal business up.
dan friesen
I think I've done it in the past myself.
unidentified
Totally.
jordan holmes
They're covering up.
larry klayman
You have two very corrupt people under the Obama administration that run.
The director of national intelligence, Clapper, who's a certified liar who lied under oath.
alex jones
I was about to say, why are these people still in?
Trump needs to get rid of all.
jordan holmes
He got his certification from Trump University.
dan friesen
Well, Trump needs to get rid of all these dudes who are no longer in office.
jordan holmes
It's time he got rid of them.
dan friesen
Clapper is not.
jordan holmes
Yeah, but it's time to get rid of them.
dan friesen
Gotta get rid of them.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
larry klayman
Clapper's gone.
John Brennan, former CIA director.
alex jones
Gone.
jordan holmes
Former.
larry klayman
He's ethically compromised and corrupt as well.
He tried to destroy Trump.
dan friesen
I mean, he didn't.
The example that Alex keeps going back to is that Clapper, who's gone?
John Brennan, who was...
jordan holmes
Also gone.
dan friesen
He's gone now.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But when Trump got elected, in between him being sworn in, he said that he should watch his mouth.
He should be careful about the things he says.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Which, I mean, sure.
jordan holmes
Which is such a childish way of doing things.
dan friesen
It's a little sassy.
jordan holmes
Motherfucker, watch your mouth!
dan friesen
Yeah, I mean, talk shit, get hit, is the kind of message.
jordan holmes
Don't snitch!
dan friesen
I get where Alex's interpretation of it being like, hey boy, watch your mouth, that kind of thing.
jordan holmes
I don't like the way you said that.
dan friesen
Look, I know that boy has racial connotations.
That's not in play.
jordan holmes
That's the wine talking again.
dan friesen
It's not in play.
I get where Alex takes some umbrage at that, but I also would understand how anybody who's in the intelligence community recognizes the stakes.
Of the president running his mouth.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
How you can piss off foreign powers accidentally, which Trump has done a couple times.
jordan holmes
Well, he didn't even fucking shake Merkel's hand like a pussy.
dan friesen
But he can do these things to insult foreign powers that are our allies, that we have deep, deep, blood-filled alliances with.
And he can insult them.
And you should watch your mouth.
You should be really careful what you say.
unidentified
You should use diplomacy.
Mm-hmm.
jordan holmes
Now, there's a reason we have a department that is entirely devoted to diplomacy.
And there's a reason you fill that department with people who can be diplomatic.
dan friesen
Who are diplomats.
jordan holmes
Instead, what he did was put an ExxonMobil guy in there who actually has been quoted as saying he didn't want the job.
dan friesen
And his wife said, yeah, you should do it.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And then they have not staffed that department.
unidentified
Nope.
jordan holmes
Definitely not with any career diplomats.
unidentified
Nope.
jordan holmes
Everybody is confused.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Angry.
Frustrated.
The press aren't involved.
dan friesen
And now the head of that department is saying, hey, we might fucking bomb North Korea.
unidentified
Yeah!
jordan holmes
We're not having a good time of it.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
Our foreign policy, you know, like, it's strange to be so obsessed with domestic policy when we are bombing the shit out of Syria, killing more civilians than we've killed in so long.
dan friesen
Repeatedly non, like, it's not even defensible that they're military targets.
jordan holmes
When we've offended so many of our allies.
dan friesen
Yep.
jordan holmes
When we've fucking threatened so many countries at this point.
dan friesen
This is why the wine is necessary.
This clip is Larry Klayman saying that everything in the world essentially is Obama's fault.
jordan holmes
Excellent.
larry klayman
If you follow the evidence here, I'm certain that President Obama is sitting on top of this.
He must have known.
jordan holmes
He's actually windsurfing on top of it right now.
dan friesen
Again, he's talking about all this information that Montgomery has that he hasn't looked at.
jordan holmes
From before Obama was president.
dan friesen
So again, he's sure that it's all Obama's fault.
jordan holmes
Probably.
dan friesen
But he hasn't looked at any of it.
jordan holmes
Uh-uh.
dan friesen
So, great.
I take your word for it, Larry Klayman, guy who is...
Clearly incredible.
jordan holmes
Master of claymation.
larry klayman
I'm sure he directed it.
alex jones
Sure, they always direct everything.
They're totally command and control.
I bet it was above Obama.
Who gave the order originally above Obama?
Soros?
larry klayman
It had to go to Obama ultimately.
You can blame it on the minions, but the buck stops on his desk.
And I want to make one other point, Alex.
In other countries in the world, Israel, Brazil, other countries, they hold...
The top executive accountable.
We've never done that.
jordan holmes
Israel and Brazil and other countries.
larry klayman
It's time.
dan friesen
That's a super unfortunate...
jordan holmes
That's such a weird list of...
dan friesen
And it's a dumb example.
jordan holmes
Israel, apartheid country.
Brazil, recently had a coup.
You know, other countries.
The good ones.
dan friesen
The ones where they hold their leaders responsible.
Benjamin Netanyahu has never been held responsible for any of the war crimes that he's committed.
jordan holmes
And the Brazilian president is literally not allowed to run for president.
He is legally barred from running for the job he currently holds that he obtained by...
Purely illegal means.
dan friesen
So he uses these two countries as an example to make a point about how Obama, who's no longer the president, needs to be held responsible for bullshit, lies that he's peddling on Alex Jones' show.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And then Alex is like, I totally agree.
It's so fucking stupid.
jordan holmes
It's so stupid.
dan friesen
It's incredibly, it's insane.
Like, you could probably.
jordan holmes
It's the FBI buying software based on Al Jazeera's barcode stupid.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's right up there.
jordan holmes
It's...
Oh!
It's an Italian cuisine of stupid.
dan friesen
That's the last clip that I have from Larry Clayman's interview.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
If you want to know more about him and you want him to speak his piece...
jordan holmes
Check your local library.
dan friesen
Yeah.
He probably has written books.
I didn't look into that.
But if you want to hear his entire argument laid out...
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Really desperately make you believe that the people he has on his show are real.
jordan holmes
Just not Sesame Street puppets?
dan friesen
They're not claymation.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
These guests, 99% out of 100 are accurate.
None of us are perfect, but we try to tell the truth.
We try to get it right.
jordan holmes
No, you don't.
alex jones
But sometimes, you know, if the innocent or those that are questionable get harmed, we have to also admit we've been wrong.
jordan holmes
Fake pizza game apology.
alex jones
That's what all this is about, but our hearts are in the right place.
We're trying to change the world.
jordan holmes
I hate you.
dan friesen
Yeah, so, I mean, like, your guests are 99% accurate.
jordan holmes
Fake, fake Pizzagate apologies.
dan friesen
I legitimately don't know how you would quantify what percent your guests are accurate, but I know that if there was a system, 99% is ambitious.
There's no way.
jordan holmes
Even for a reputable news site, 99% seems ambitious, right?
dan friesen
I think the most respectable news sources that I trust...
jordan holmes
Have maybe 80. Yeah, I was going to say 75% is amazing to me.
dan friesen
I'm saying, that's why I said maybe.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Maybe, and that's hot.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like I said, I told you on the last episode I've been reading Foreign Policy.
jordan holmes
Right, because you're a wonk.
dan friesen
I'm a wonk.
A lot of the stuff that I've been reading in there, it seems incredibly credible.
I've looked into things that are cited, and absolutely, it backs up.
So like...
But I still think that they get things wrong from time to time.
jordan holmes
Yeah, of course.
dan friesen
It's every citizen's responsibility to take in media and news and then evaluate it.
That's your responsibility.
It's not the media's responsibility to be right every time.
When they're wrong, it is their responsibility to...
jordan holmes
To own up to it.
dan friesen
Exactly.
jordan holmes
And to write a correction and to make sure that everybody knows that...
dan friesen
Which places like the New York Times, Washington Post, these sorts of establishment institutions do on a regular basis.
jordan holmes
They do.
They perhaps don't do as loudly as maybe they should, but they do it.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
For the most part.
dan friesen
It's unfortunate because this weekend again, Alex Jones came out with his apology about Pizzagate.
jordan holmes
His bullshit apology.
dan friesen
But he doesn't apologize for things that he says.
unidentified
Nope.
dan friesen
He never does.
And this Pizzagate apology is not evidence that he does apologize for things.
Because even packaged within that apology is...
And it's throwing other news organizations under the bus.
It's like, hey, they said it, we're reporting on it.
What do you want to do?
jordan holmes
We made a mistake, but our mistake was really trusting other people.
It wasn't us not doing our due diligence.
dan friesen
Yeah, and if they had done any due diligence, they never would have reported any of that shit.
jordan holmes
Nope, because it's bullshit.
dan friesen
And I'm not even a news outlet, and I did my due diligence about Pizzagate.
jordan holmes
Truly?
dan friesen
Which this episode is not about.
jordan holmes
You did way more due diligence than a lot of media outlets.
dan friesen
So, we're about to wrap up this episode, but before we do, I have a couple more clips that are just kind of fun.
jordan holmes
Uh-huh.
dan friesen
This one...
jordan holmes
Oh, God, I needed those.
dan friesen
This one, Jerome Corsi has been...
He wasn't on the phone during the Clayman interview.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
This goes back to the Zulu interview.
jordan holmes
He was, again, just sitting in the corner singing...
dan friesen
Zippity-doo-dah?
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
Slightly racist Disney song?
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
So, this one is...
I don't know why that came to my head.
It's a good song, though, if you take the racist part out of it.
unidentified
Zippity-doo-dah, zippity-day, my oh my, what a wonderful day.
dan friesen
That's fun.
Anyway, let's not unpack Tar Baby and Uncle Remus.
All right.
So, Jerome Corsi was in the background, essentially, for the entire Mike Zullo interview.
And then once Mike Zullo gets off the phone, Alex Jones has got to kiss Jerome Corsi's ass for a little while.
So he says...
This clip.
He says this clip.
And it's one way of looking at things.
And after the clip, I'll explain the better way of looking at things.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
I mean, your articles are all so powerful.
And either from high-level leaks or the White House, you're pointing out what needs to be looked at.
Notice, everything you write for us, everything else we write gets picked up in the news.
Everything you write, your total blacklist, which shows you are really on target, my friend.
So I want to thank you.
jordan holmes
Cuck.
dan friesen
Well, his argument is...
jordan holmes
Listen, everything we write, everybody looks at.
Everything you write, nobody looks at.
dan friesen
Nailed it.
jordan holmes
That's how on target you are.
dan friesen
Nailed it.
jordan holmes
Nobody wants to read your bullshit.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
That's like a bullshit ad for him, right?
dan friesen
Everything Paul Joseph Watson does, everyone loves that stuff.
But stuff you do, everyone ignores.
It must mean you're super on target.
jordan holmes
Yeah, you're like a conspiracy theorist's conspiracy theorist.
dan friesen
Or it might mean that you're widely discredited, even in wonky conspiracy theory communities.
And when I say wonky, I don't mean wonky like policy wonk.
I mean wonky like not functioning.
jordan holmes
Like having a wonky leg.
dan friesen
Yeah, exactly.
jordan holmes
I gotcha.
dan friesen
It's unfortunate that it's the same word, I realize now.
jordan holmes
Well, I mean, so far we've seen that Paul Ryan's wonkiness is wonky.
dan friesen
It's absolutely him malfunctioning.
jordan holmes
It's perhaps broken.

So we have one more clip left to play, and this is what I would like to call the parting shot.
Generally, I like to try and come up with something that really sums up the feeling of things.
jordan holmes
I have not done that this time.
So if you don't want to listen to two and a half hours of us talking, feel free to go to the last five minutes.
Where you will have a good clip for him.
dan friesen
But before we get to this clip, let's just give a slight insummation of everything we've covered.
jordan holmes
Yes.
Monsters.
Liars.
Frauds.
Idiots.
Everybody involved with the Alex Jones Show is all of those things.
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
That's pretty much what we've covered.
dan friesen
I think you did a good, real brief summation.
I'm going to try for a little bit more.
jordan holmes
Oh, do you want more explanation?
dan friesen
You gave the bones.
You gave the bones.
I'm going to put a little meat on it.
So the meat on that bones is that...
Joe Arpaio is a complete monster.
He is guilty of racial profiling.
jordan holmes
Deserves the death penalty.
dan friesen
So much worse.
He is absolutely terrible.
He was not being wiretapped by any information that is publicly available.
jordan holmes
Deserves the death penalty.
dan friesen
He had a confidential informant named Dennis Montgomery, who is a proven liar, who has a history of fraud, has a history of trying to set up people with fake documents.
And clearly is lying.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
His now lawyer, Larry Klayman, is a complete Islamophobic bigot.
He has tried multiple times to have frivolous lawsuits against liberals.
jordan holmes
Kicked out of two courts forever.
dan friesen
For life.
jordan holmes
For life.
dan friesen
Was not allowed to be Cliven Bundy's lawyer, which is crazy.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
And so these are the characters that we're dealing with.
Alex Jones takes this third-hand information about an alleged wiretapping problem.
Project Dragnet that's been going on that allegedly has his phone numbers, which again, as I said, spelled out earlier, Montgomery could easily get that information from very mild hacking, which he has shown through...
jordan holmes
His typewriter skills.
dan friesen
People talking about him and his history has shown that he is capable of those things.
jordan holmes
At the very least can write basic software in 2002.
dan friesen
Yes.
So what we have here is Alex Jones either willingly or unwillingly being tricked by...
jordan holmes
And also Mike Zullo is an accomplice to Joe Arpaio's Crimes Against Humanity.
dan friesen
Yeah, at very least.
jordan holmes
And probably deserves life in prison.
dan friesen
But probably could get you a good deal on a Hyundai.
jordan holmes
An amazing deal on a Hyundai.
dan friesen
Probably.
So, Alex Jones...
jordan holmes
Handshake deal.
dan friesen
Alex Jones...
jordan holmes
In cash.
Wouldn't even need to write it down.
dan friesen
Alex Jones has done no research into any of these things.
jordan holmes
Or if he has, he is truly 100% trying to lie.
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
In a way that we have always had...
dan friesen
Those are the only two possibilities.
jordan holmes
In the way that we have always had that kind of spectrum going back and forth.
unidentified
If...
jordan holmes
Alex Jones has done any research into these people, then he is aware 100% that he is lying and peddling a false narrative.
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
If he is not, which to me seems the more likely situation, because again, all of the work you've done, all of the research you've done seems like something so far beyond anything Alex Jones is capable of.
dan friesen
It hasn't taken me that long, though.
jordan holmes
Exactly!
dan friesen
To be honest...
unidentified
And that's the even more pathetic part of it!
dan friesen
To be honest, we're not getting paid for this show.
jordan holmes
Nope.
dan friesen
And I have a 9 to 5 job that actually is generally an 8 to 6 job.
So, like, I'm at work a lot of my life and I can't be spending time researching.
I have not been tearing my hair out researching this.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
It's been pretty easy to find most of this information.
jordan holmes
And that's...
That's kind of more, again, it fits within Alex Jones and what we know of him that he would not have done even the most cursory of research.
dan friesen
If someone comes to Jerome Corsi and says, I have evidence that Trump is being spied on, Jerome Corsi is going to write up an article.
And Alex Jones is going to just implicitly believe it, no matter what.
He's not going to do any research into figuring out, is this worth me posting on my site?
He's not going to do any of that work.
And because he doesn't, and because Jerome Corsi is so, so uncredited, so unethical, he just brings this bullshit into the house.
jordan holmes
Right.
So...
dan friesen
And Alex Jones is happy to purvey it.
jordan holmes
To me, I fall on the side of Alex Jones is the village idiot, not the Mafia Don in this particular circumstance.
dan friesen
That's interesting.
jordan holmes
I don't think he's willfully misleading people in the way that he would be.
If he had done any research into any of these people.
dan friesen
Now see, here's where I disagree with you, just on a slight technicality.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
I think he willfully doesn't do the research because a part of him knows that if he did, he would invalidate his own beliefs.
jordan holmes
Your objection is sustained.
dan friesen
Thank you.
Thank you, Counselor.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Permission to approach the bench.
jordan holmes
Uh, never.
In fact, you're kicked out of my courtroom for life!
dan friesen
Um, so, realistically, what we end this with...
Trump was not being spied on in the way.
jordan holmes
That's it!
That's where we end the podcast.
Like, if we just said that, it ended the podcast right there.
dan friesen
Because that's the narrative that Alex was pitching the entire week.
The idea that his phone number and Trump's phone number and all that was part of this database is absolute lies, which we've, I think, firmly established.
jordan holmes
And it took...
There's a web of things that's built upon it.
dan friesen
He spent a week on this!
He had multiple interviews with people propping up this lie.
It's complete bullshit.
jordan holmes
And Nunes himself has confirmed there is no evidence that Trump was wiretapped at Trump Tower.
dan friesen
But in the meantime, Nunes is at least incredulous of this evidence.
He's at least been tricked in some way.
His behavior was altered by some of this information.
jordan holmes
Nunes, I would actually argue, is on the evil side, is on the evil spectrum of willfully lying.
dan friesen
Especially based...
jordan holmes
In order to protect Trump, but in the same way, he's hitching his wagon to what he thinks won't get torn down.
dan friesen
Boy, it looked pretty good a couple months ago.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly, right?
If you were going to, like, just 50-50 horse race here.
dan friesen
Let's blue sky this thing.
jordan holmes
Who do you think you would rather hitch your horse to right now?
Paul Ryan or Donald Trump?
Right?
dan friesen
That's a Sophie's choice.
jordan holmes
It really is.
dan friesen
No, it's the reverse of one.
I want to kill both of my children.
jordan holmes
I hate my children!
dan friesen
No, that's a no-win situation.
I don't want to hitch my horse to either of them, but if I had to choose, I'd probably go Trump.
jordan holmes
You'd probably go Trump?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Oh, man.
I'm still going to go with Ryan here.
dan friesen
I would go Trump, but real casually.
Just because I don't want anything to do with Paul Ryan.
jordan holmes
I would fuck Trump once every couple of weeks.
Real cash stuff.
It's like a hookup.
dan friesen
I think Trump is a traitor, but somehow I think Paul Ryan is worse.
jordan holmes
Paul Ryan is absolutely worse.
dan friesen
So I would go with Trump, but...
unidentified
But I'm talking more about pure survival.
jordan holmes
I'm not talking about who's the more monstrous.
dan friesen
Right, right, right.
jordan holmes
Because I hope both of them get hit by a truck.
dan friesen
Then you go Ryan.
jordan holmes
Right, exactly.
I think Ryan is going to...
I mean, well, see, and then we go back to...
dan friesen
He's more of a cockroach.
jordan holmes
We go back to the healthcare bill, right?
I would have, before the whole healthcare bill, I would have said that Ryan was capable of outmaneuvering Trump.
Because the healthcare bill was maybe the most unpopular thing ever introduced into Congress, and he still put all of his energy into it, maybe, just maybe, Paul Ryan is an idiot.
dan friesen
He's not a wonk.
jordan holmes
He is definitely not.
His reputation as being a guy who is smart is gone.
dan friesen
It's also interesting, though, because I don't know really...
I've not done deep research into it, but I did read an article about how...
Trump making a hard sell on the healthcare bill ended up losing them 10 votes.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I would believe that.
dan friesen
He went in and tried to negotiate with folks.
jordan holmes
Like a used car salesman.
dan friesen
And it worked negatively.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So it's possible that Paul Ryan maybe could have pulled it off without Trump's blustery tactics.
jordan holmes
Look, we can't do that one.
dan friesen
It's impossible.
jordan holmes
No, that one's not that.
dan friesen
Either way, we have one more clip.
And this is Alex Jones talking about...
I mean, this is just great.
jordan holmes
Okay.
All right, let's get to it.
dan friesen
I'll just let it play.
jordan holmes
Let's get some dessert on this shit.
dan friesen
This is absolutely dessert.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
This world being so unstable, if they bring down Trump, which they're trying to do, they're just trying to demonize him before they kill him.
You need high-quality, storable foods.
I know I've increased the amounts I've got.
People keep thinking, oh, go back to sleep.
Trump's in.
Oh, yeah, get ready.
We usually do this once a year.
I'm doing it every few months now.
It's 30% to 40% off all the high-quality, storable foods that are fresh, produced right here in America by my patron supply.
dan friesen
Alex Jones showing his true colors.
jordan holmes
Oh my god, that felt so good.
That was the catharsis I have wanted for months now.
dan friesen
They're gonna kill Trump?
Hey, you need food.
jordan holmes
You need food?
You're gonna need it!
dan friesen
Anyway, what a bunch of assholes.
jordan holmes
Oh god.
dan friesen
Anyway.
jordan holmes
Dan, let me ask you a question.
dan friesen
Let me answer a question for you.
jordan holmes
Where would you find us if you were looking for us?
dan friesen
Well, I would say that the primary place you can find us is knowledgefight.com, our website.
jordan holmes
Oh, we have a website!
dan friesen
We do, and there's a link up there if you'd like to support the show.
We do take donations through Patreon.
There's a link on knowledgefight.com.
We are welcome to do that.
You don't have to.
I don't give a shit.
I'd like it.
jordan holmes
Again, you're very defensive for no reason.
You can also subscribe to us on iTunes.
If you leave a review, do you know that that pushes our rankings up or something like that?
I don't know how iTunes works.
dan friesen
And thank you to...
Listen, I'm going to give a thank you to a friend of mine.
Thank you, Brian Berger.
What's up, baby?
He left us a nice review on iTunes recently.
unidentified
Oh, good!
dan friesen
And thank you.
jordan holmes
We genuinely...
It really does...
Make me feel like I'm a part of something whenever people review this.
There are plenty of podcasts.
dan friesen
Also, by the way, remember when I was complaining about someone leaving a four-star review?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I went back and checked.
I think they changed it to a five.
jordan holmes
Oh, no!
Dan!
Dan!
You're a bully!
dan friesen
I'm sorry that I bullied you.
jordan holmes
You're the Alex Jones of knowledge fight.
dan friesen
I'm so sorry.
jordan holmes
No, here's the weird thing.
You get overly defensive.
I get way overly sincere.
Like, oh, guys, you touch me.
dan friesen
It is very nice, though.
jordan holmes
It is.
It is truly.
dan friesen
I mean, whatever those sincere feelings that you're expressing, I definitely feel, too.
But I have a stony visage.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
It's hard because feeling like part of the resistance or whatever it is seems very futile at times.
dan friesen
We're resistance to something.
jordan holmes
We're trying.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
You know, it's hard to try.
It really is.
Like, looking at the protests in Russia just this day.
dan friesen
Jesus.
jordan holmes
You see those people who are far...
dan friesen
That's real bravery.
jordan holmes
Far more brave than anything I can imagine because...
dan friesen
Ever.
jordan holmes
Just going there has a very real possibility of killing you.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
It truly does.
And so...
dan friesen
You just see massive swarms of riot police.
Making lines in order to shuttle all the protesters into a building.
jordan holmes
Any of those people could be dead.
They look like fucking RoboCop.
It's ridiculous.
So just to feel like I am at the very least putting the smallest amount of what I can into it because I'm so confused about how to actually join that.
dan friesen
All we can do is, again, encourage people to call your representatives.
jordan holmes
Do everything you can.
dan friesen
That's a small thing.
It's very easy to do, and you should.
jordan holmes
Donate money to the ACLU.
dan friesen
Absolutely.
Any other cause that you support?
jordan holmes
100%.
Do whatever it is you can.
That's what we want to encourage people to do.
That's what we do.
dan friesen
And then beyond that also, and I'm guilty of not doing this all the time because I'm kind of a crank, but like...
It does go a long way just to be nice to people.
That is a really important thing.
As our country descends further into really scary...
jordan holmes
Into the Hunger Games.
We live in the Hunger Games now.
dan friesen
As we descend into really scary territory, it is important that you be nice to people.
So try.
Try.
Try to see the humanity in your fellow people.
jordan holmes
And the only way to be nice to people, Dan, I will tell you this right now, is to leave a great review of Knowledge Fight on iTunes.
dan friesen
I'm glad you got there.
jordan holmes
Because that was...
dan friesen
That was my point.
jordan holmes
Anyways, guys.
dan friesen
Also, you can follow us at Twitter, knowledge underscore fight.
You can email us at knowledgefight at gmail dot com.
Also, I don't think we mentioned this in the last episode, but thank you to the AV Club giving us a nice shout out.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
jordan holmes
At Future Schlock.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Super awesome.
Thank you very much.
Anybody else who wants to write anything about us, please do.
We need help.
jordan holmes
And if you do want to write anything about us, you should definitely mention at the end of the article that we are a couple of...
dan friesen
Just, you know, I don't know, policy wonks?
Is that right?
Yeah.
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.
